Chapter 312: Battle of Zitong Water (IV)

Although this is what it means, this is just Chang Yuchun comforted Guan Yu. He did not have any comprehensive plans. It has only been a few hours since he learned that the Qin army had been operating, so Chang Yuchun had no time to plan.

But Guan Yu knew nothing about this. He didn't know how dangerous the things he had to face next were. Chang Yuchun saw that Guan Yu had no doubts, so he said, "General Guan, you go down and gather troops immediately. As soon as the news that each unit was entangled with the Qin army arrived, we would immediately send troops to attack the Qin army's main camp!"

"Here!" Guan Yu responded and went out. After Guan Yu left, Zhu Sheng, who had not spoken, said to Chang Yuchun with a worried look on his face: "General, is your plan too risky? If you are not careful, our army will easily be defeated, and the general, General Guan and 20,000 grain will be in danger of being destroyed." Zhu Sheng is a very cautious person. In the nine-character mantra he proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang in history, the final slow-to-be-reputation king is enough to explain everything. This sentence is to make Zhu Yuanzhang low-key, develop vulgarly, and not to be slutty.

Chang Yuchun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Military advisor, as the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger. If you follow the steps and follow the steps, be cautious, how can I become so strong today?"

Chang Yuchun's words immediately made Zhu Sheng speechless. The Deng State military was full of madmen, and these madmen were brought out by Deng Sheng. From the Han Dynasty's attack on Deng, raiding Wuguan, and then facing the 200,000 Wei troops in front of him, it was enough to explain all this, so it is easy to understand that Yuchun did this today.

Fa Zheng, who was standing aside, also had a smile on his face. Fa Zheng has always liked to take odd steps, so although he felt that Chang Yuchun's plan was very risky, he had no objection, because this was the fastest way to solve the war. As long as Chang Yuchun could successfully break through the main camp of the Qin army, the Qin army would be defeated and the initiative in the war would fall into the hands of the Deng army. In addition to the logistics issues, the Qin army would have to retreat even if it did not retreat.

Just when the two armies of Deng and Qin were pulling out their arrows, the messenger who had been sent by Jiang Huang to urge Deng's army to fight also returned to Fucheng and reported Chang Yuchun's words to Jiang Huang truthfully. When he heard Chang Yuchun cursing him in front of many people, Jiang Huang was furious, but soon Jiang Huang suppressed it again, because Chang Yuchun said that if he had any dissatisfaction, he would let himself lead his troops to fight the Qin army. After hearing such words, Jiang Huang suddenly lost his temper. He joked, what level of the Shu army is, how dare he fight the Qin army? Besides, among the 30,000 Shu army, the most elite 5,000 people were taken away by Chang Yuchun, and the rest were all crooked and 10,000 dared to fight the Qin army.

Later, Fa Zheng sent someone to send a letter. After reading it, Jiang Huang felt relieved of Chang Yuchun's scolding him. After all, he was in a place where he was free. If he stood in Chang Yuchun and was urged to march like this, no one would be happy. It would be considered light to scold him.

At this time, a war between the two sides of the Zitong River was about to begin. Bai Chen led 20,000 troops to the Zitong River and found that there was no Deng army stationed on the other side. Bai Chen was also cautious and sent people to cross the river to investigate the situation of the Deng army. He found that Deng army had given up on the shore and retreated to five miles away from the Zitong River. This made Bai Chen feel very strange, but he still led his army to cross the Zitong River and soon came to Deng army.

According to common sense, as the defensive side, the Deng army only needs to form a formation to defend, but Zhang Liao and Wang Shao are abnormal. When the Qin army was less than 300 steps away from the Deng army, the Deng army launched an attack directly at the Qin army, which made Bai Chen confused. However, the Deng army had already come up, and Bai Chen no longer hesitated and directly commanded the troops to charge.

At the same time, the other three Qin army, Sima Gong and Ma Sheng, both troops crossed the Zitong River like Bai Chen and fought with the Deng army. Only Geng Yue and his team, after discovering that the Deng army had given up on the shore, they stationed troops on the north shore and stopped moving forward.

"General Li, why did Geng Yue not come yet?" Shan Xiongxin seemed a little anxious when he saw that the Qin army had not crossed the river for a long time.

On the other hand, Li Jing looked calm and said, "It seems that Geng Yue is still a bit good. Our army suddenly gave up the shore. This is a very strange phenomenon. Geng Yue thinks it is inappropriate. It is reasonable to delay crossing the river. General Shan doesn't need to worry."

"Why are you not in a hurry? All the people are fighting, but we are still not moving here. General Li, do you think Geng Yue can see the intention of our army?" Shan Xiongxin asked. When Chang Yuchun gave the order, Li Jing guessed what Chang Yuchun wanted to do, so he also told Shan Xiongxin about Chang Yuchun's idea.

Li Jing shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Even we guessed the plan of the General, and no one told me. Do you think Geng Yue is Bai Qi?"

"Then why didn't he come yet!" Shan Xiongxin also felt that the Qin army would not notice Chang Yuchun's intention, but he still couldn't understand why Geng Yue didn't cross the river.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that our army suddenly gave up on the strange action on the shore, which made Geng Yue confused. To be cautious, it is reasonable to delay crossing the river."

"General Li, what if Geng Yue can't come that thing?" Shan Xiongxin asked. Since Geng Yue had some doubts, would he not come?

"He doesn't come, so we just lead him over." Li Jing said.

"Turn him over here? How do you lead him?" Shan Xiongxin became more and more confused as he heard it. He took the initiative to give up on the shore. Even if he couldn't come, how could he lead him?

"General Shan, please continue to send the order, and the entire army will strengthen its vigilance and act like a perseverance. As long as Geng Yue believes that our army will defend its position to the death, he will dispel the doubts in his heart and cross the Zitong River." Li Jing said to Shan Xiong.

"Okay!" Although Shan Xiongxin didn't know what Li Jing was selling in the gourd, he had a deep contact with Li Jing. In terms of martial arts, he was much stronger than Li Jing. However, when it comes to commanding troops and fighting, he was not worthy of carrying shoes to Li Jing, so although he was a little confused, he still chose to listen to Li Jing's words.

The facts were as Li Jing said. After Deng’s army acted like he was defending his life, Geng Yue led the Qin army to cross the river one after another. In fact, Geng Yue couldn’t come at first because he was worried that Deng’s army would suddenly have any ambush on the shore, so he didn’t dare to come over. Now that Deng’s army has decided to defend his life, Geng Yue let go of his doubts.

After Geng Yue arrived at the south bank, he saw Deng's army waiting for battle. Li Jing and Shan Xiongxin did not kill directly like Zhang Liao, but instead held on until the Qin army launched an attack.

When the four armies fought with the Qin army, Chang Yuchun remained still and waited for the night to fall. Chang Yuchun and Guan Yu were led out of the camp with 20,000 elite troops and headed to the north bank. In order not to be noticed by the Qin army, Deng's army called torches and did not attack, but crossed the river in the dark.

When Chang Yuchun and Guan Yu brought 20,000 elite troops to the Qin army camp, they found that the Qin army camp was very cautious and did not relax as they imagined. Guan Yuchun said to Chang Yuchun: "General, the Qin army is very cautious. It is probably difficult to succeed at this time. Can we still fight?"

"When fighting, why not fight? The reason why the Qin army was very cautious is because Wang Feng has always been good at managing the army, not to guard against our army's sneak attacks. From this period of observation, I found that the Qin army camp was in this state every day, loose inside and tight outside. If the Qin army's defense was very loose at this moment, I would be worried." Chang Yuchun said.

"Then General, when will we take action?" Guan Yu asked again. Since he decided to fight, when will he fight?

Chang Yuchun thought for a while and said, "It's still early now. Let the soldiers rest and recover their strength, and wait until midnight before launching an attack."

"Here!" Guan Yu replied.

At this time, Wang Feng had not yet rested in the tent of the Qin army camp. Somehow, after nightfall, Wang Feng was a little restless. He always felt that something would happen, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

"Come!" Wang Feng shouted loudly.

"General, what's the matter?" The guard outside the tent heard Wang Feng's shouting and thought Wang Feng had something to do, so he hurriedly walked in.

"What's wrong with the camp tonight?" Wang Feng asked.

The personal guard thought for a while and replied: "Everything is normal around the camp tonight, and nothing special happened."

"Am I too worried?" Wang Feng frowned and murmured when he heard nothing unusual.

"General, has something happened?" Seeing Wang Feng's appearance, the personal guard thought something had happened.

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "It's okay, you go down first."
