Chapter 170: Lu Feng’s plan

At this time, Yang Yanzhao had already brought the vanguard troops to the place. After seeing Zhou Yu, he praised him very much.

Yang Yanzhao and Zhou Yu stood side by side by side, blowing the river breeze, enjoying temporary peace.

"Governor Zhou, I only brought 20,000 troops this time, and there are still 60,000 troops left. I want to work hard on Governor Zhou to take all these people with his navy warships." Yang Yanzhao said.

Zhou Yu frowned at first, then quickly stretched out, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then let's go." The reason why Zhou Yu agreed to Yang Yanzhao's request was actually carefully considered. Since this time, the two great victories were achieved under his command of Zhou Yu. As the main general, Yang Yanzhao had not made any achievements, which was really inappropriate. Although Yang Yanzhao was not a stingy person, the smart Zhou Yu still thought of this, so he agreed to take on the mission of other soldiers coming.

Seeing that Zhou Yu agreed, Yang Yanzhao nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't care whether Zhou Yuli had more military achievements than him or her, he still said that Yang Yanzhao, as the main general, could not compare to the deputy general Zhou Yu. How would you ask Yang Yanzhao to order the three armies in the future? That's why Yang Yanzhao sent Zhou Yu to do transportation work, not deliberately suppressing it.

At this time, Lu Feng had already arrived here from Pengze in Chaisang City. Although Lu Feng lacked prestige, with the support of Lu Meng and a number of Zhou Kai's generals, he still took over the military power very smoothly. However, the Wu army was depressed at this time and the troops were insufficient. After two major defeats, the 130,000 Wu army was now only more than 30,000 people left, and the losses were heavy.

"Everyone, our army has suffered heavy losses now, and Chaisang is no longer able to defend it, so what I mean is to withdraw from Chaisang and retreat to Pengze. I have already written to the king and requested the navy stationed in Ruxukou to come and guard Pengze Lake." Lu Feng expressed his thoughts as soon as he came up.

Everyone had no objection to Lu Feng's suggestion to withdraw troops. After all, they knew what the situation was in the Wu army now. The Deng army's troops had not been fully assembled. If all Deng army arrived, they would definitely not be able to stop it. It would be better to retreat to Pengze and reorganize the troops. But the question is, will the Deng army let them leave so easily?

Lu Meng asked with a question: "General Lu, we have no objection to withdraw troops, but although the Deng army has not yet fully assembled, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 Deng troops by the river. With our current strength, it is not a big problem to defend Chaisang City. If we leave the city, once the Deng army pursues it, it may suffer heavy losses."

Lu Feng smiled and said confidently: "I will naturally know the military advisor's concerns, but I have already made a complete plan."

"I hope General Lu will show you!"

"Please look!" Lu Feng walked to the map and pointed to a valley thirty miles southeast of Chaisang City and said: "If our army retreated like this, the Deng army would definitely pursue it. Since that's the case, I will attack Deng army here for an ambush."

"Please tell me in detail!" Everyone was still confused, so they asked Lu Feng to explain it in detail.

Lu Feng said: "This valley was found clearly from Pengze to Chaisang Road. The terrain here is steep and there is only one straight road in the valley. Both sides of the straight road are covered with lush grass and trees. Our army can ambush the mountain and besiege the Deng army."

"But how can we lead Deng's army into the valley?" Lu Meng asked a question. Although Lu Feng's plan was good, Deng's army was not a fool and would not follow you stupidly.

But since Lu Feng dared to make such a plan, how could he be unprepared? He said, "So this time we will lure the enemy deeper. Tonight, General Zhang Tu and General Huan Heng each led 3,000 troops to secretly go here, ambushed on the mountain, preparing a large number of huge rocks and rolling wood. When everything is ready, we will withdraw from Chaisang, and along the way, the general flag of the Grand Commander and our generals will definitely come."

"General Lu, it's good, but Yang Yanzhao is also a long-time general on the battlefield. I'm afraid he will see something." Lu Meng asked another question. Will he chase all the way?

Lu Feng said: "Don't worry, military advisor, before coming, I have already discovered the situation of Deng's army. Deng's two major victories were achieved under the command of the deputy general and the navy commander Zhou Yu. As the main general, Yang Yanzhao has not made any achievements. How can he not be anxious? Moreover, I also discovered that Zhou Yu has been appointed by Yang Yanzhao to pick up the remaining troops of Deng's army. In order not to let Zhou Yu, the deputy general, overshadow over him, Yang Yanzhao will definitely catch up."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that this was taking advantage of Yang Yanzhao's psychology. Deputy General Zhou Yu made many military achievements, but Yang Yanzhao, as the commander of the three armies, had no achievements. Although it was not suitable to describe Zhou Yu and Yang Yanzhao, they had the same meaning. In order to re-establish the prestige in the army, Yang Yanzhao must have urgently needed a big victory, and what kind of big victory can be compared to capturing the commander of the Wu army alive. Therefore, when they saw Zhou Kai and Lu Feng's general flag, Yang Yanzhao would definitely come.

"General Lu's clever plan!" everyone praised.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not Zhou Kai and could not make a decision on military affairs. If others disagreed, he would have no choice.

Lu Feng said: "Since you have no objection, then okay, Zhang Tu, Huan Heng obeys the order!"

"The last one is here!" Zhang Tu and Huan Heng responded.

"I ordered you and the other two to lead 3,000 troops to the valley at midnight tonight, and arrange the ambush according to the wishes of our general. We must arrange it before noon tomorrow, otherwise the military will be dealt with." Lu Feng said.

"Here!" the two responded.

"At noon tomorrow, the entire army will withdraw from Chaisang, and Ling Rong will obey the order!" Lu Feng continued.

"The last one will be here!" Marley responded.

"I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to cut off the rear. Remember, if you encounter the pursuit of Deng's army, remember to fight and retreat."

"Here!"

"Malley obeys the order!"

"The last one will be here!" Marley responded.

"I ordered you to lead 5,000 troops to ambush at the entrance of the valley at midnight. After Deng's army enters the valley, I will immediately block the entrance of the valley. Remember, block the Deng's army at the entrance of the valley at all costs. If a Deng army escapes, I will only ask!"

"Here!"

After the order was given, Lu Feng straightened his face and said, "Everyone, success or failure is here. As long as it is successful, if Yang Yanzhao is captured and killed, Deng's army will collapse without fighting. In the least, it can reverse the defeat of our army. Therefore, please do your best to win this battle for the sake of Dawu!"

"Don't worry, General, we will do our best. Even if we die, we will not regret it. We will help the general defeat Yang Yanzhao." Everyone responded.

That night, Zhang Tu, Huan Heng and Mali led their troops away from Chaisang and went to the ambush to make arrangements.

At noon the next day, Lu Feng left Chaisang with the unconscious Zhou Kai and Han Cong's bodies, and Ling Rong led 10,000 troops to cut off the rear.

All of this was discovered by the scout Deng Jun and soon reached Yang Yanzhao's ears.

"Military advisor, who is Lu Feng? He can actually take charge of the three armies instead of Zhou Kai?" Yang Yanzhao asked Yao Guangxiao beside him. He had never heard of Lu Feng, but he should not be an unknown person who could take charge of the unconscious Zhou Kai.

Yao Guangxiao thought for a while and said, "Go back to General, Lu Feng is Zhou Kai's personal disciple. In the battle of Liyang City, he secretly sneaked into Liyang City and opened the Liyang City Gate. However, this person has no reputation among the Wu army. He must be able to control the army because he can rely on Zhou Kai's personal disciple."

Yang Yanzhao thought for a while and said, "I sent an order to order Zhang Fei and Wang Ce to gather 40,000 troops to follow the general to pursue the Wu army. The military advisor and General Gao Siji stayed here to pick up the governor Zhou Yu."

"General is going to chase Zhou Kai and Lu Feng?" Yao Guangxiaodao.

Yang Yanzhao nodded and said, "Yes, the morale of the Wu army is now low and the morale of the army is unstable. Although Lu Feng is Zhou Kai's disciple, he should have the ability, but he is not Zhou Kai after all, and he cannot convince the Wu army. Therefore, pursuing Wu army at this time is a good opportunity. If Zhou Kai and Lu Feng can be captured in one battle, Yu Zhang will never have any strength to stop our army."

In fact, Yang Yanzhao had another sentence in his mind, that is, no matter how much credit Zhou Yu made, as long as he could capture the commander of the Wu army, the achievements would still be his own.
