Chapter 228 bluff
In the prefect's residence, Zhang Lu looked at the civil and military officials in the hall with a gloomy expression.
"Mianyang is just a partial army! The maximum number is only three thousand!?" Zhang Wei threw the bamboo slips to the ground with a ugly expression, and shouted sternly: "Bring those defeated generals to me!"
No wonder Zhang Wei was so scared. Even though he knew that Yang Bai was unable to use it, he did not expect that the eight thousand people would be dealt with by less than three thousand people. He was defeated so badly that the main generals were captured alive. The most important thing was the generals who returned from defeat. If these people had not lied about it, how could they make a mistake in their judgment?
Soon, the generals were brought up.
"Great courage!" Zhang Wei looked at the defeated generals and was angry and refused to fight: "How dare you lie about military affairs? How many soldiers did Wei Yan bring that day? Will you still hide it at this time?"
Zhang Wei was convinced by Yang Ren's judgment, and therefore, he was even more annoyed by these people.
The cold murderous intent spread in the hall, and anyone could see that Zhang Wei was in real fire at this moment, like a beast that could hurt people at any time.
"Shi Jun, forgive me!" Several generals had been frightened by Zhang Wei's anger and looked deserted. He quickly knelt down on the ground. One general said: "After Wei Yan met our army, he broke the formation without saying a word. Our army was not ready. General Yang Bai ordered the rear army to withdraw from the battle group and reorganize the battle formation, but he did not want to be driven away by Wei Yan and disrupted our formation..."
"Does anyone ask you this?" Zhang Wei looked at the few people, exuding a violent aura, and said in a sequel: "How did you lose your wine bags? What does it have to do with me? I'm asking you how many people Wei Yan brought at that time!"
"This..." After hearing this, several generals smiled bitterly, shook their heads and said, "I was defeated too quickly and I never saw it clearly. At that time, I only felt that there were people on all sides."
Yan Pu said coldly: "Have you sent a scout to investigate? Why did the enemy army just notice it just now?"
"I've sent it, but the other party came too quickly, and our army didn't have time to make a formation..." The general who spoke at the end of the speech, his voice gradually lowered, and Zhang Wei's anger could be clearly felt.
"Ha~" Zhang Wei turned his head and looked at Yang Song and said, "The scout found that he was at least ten miles away. Before the enemy arrived, he had not even arranged the formation. General Yang Bai is really a famous general in Hanzhong!"
Yang Song didn't know what to make of excuses when he heard this. Even outsiders couldn't listen to this now. After a fight of feelings, they didn't even know how many people there were.
"Enough!" Zhang Lu waved his hand with a gloomy face and said, "It's over here, what's the use of these? Liu Xuande's vanguard army outside the city has arrived. What are the good strategies for defeating the enemy?"
"I wonder who this pioneer general is?" Zhang Wei asked with a frown.
"I only know that the enemy has arrived, but who has not yet explored the general, and has ordered people to investigate." Yan Pu, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said.
"No matter who he is!" Zhang Wei snorted coldly: "Looking at his camp, there are only two or three thousand vanguard troops. There are still five thousand soldiers in my city. When I lead my troops to meet him for a while, I will know the truth."
As he was talking, a soldier rushed over and bowed to everyone and said, "Shi Jun, you have already found the Qing Dynasty. The other party's flag is written to the Marquis of Hanshouting - Guan!"
"Guan Yu!?" Zhang Lu's expression changed when he heard this. Not only him, but the civil and military officials in the hall looked ugly when he heard this. Guan Yu's reputation was well-known in the north.
He killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, killed Yan Liang, Zhu Wenchou, and passed five passes and six generals. Not only did he be so powerful that he was also well-known for his powerful reputation. Now that he heard Guan Yu’s presence, the generals couldn’t help but look disgusted.
Zhang Wei frowned and said, "Guan Yu, he is just a brave man, brother, wait for me to lead a group of troops to meet him for a while!"
"My brother, don't be reckless!" Zhang Lu frowned. Guan Yu was a famous killer of the main general. If Zhang Wei was given a knife, Nan Zheng would not even have a general to make the decision. Could it be that Zhang Lu would have to take the sword into the battle personally?
Even if you have this idea, you don’t have the ability.
"Report~" As he was speaking, another scout came to report: "A large brigade of ships appeared from the water, carrying people and horses to the thief camp."
"Brother!" Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Lu and said, "The last general will be careful. This is just to find out the other party's reality. If the thief army is really powerful, it will definitely not fight with him!"
Yang Song, who was standing beside him, was also a little panicked and said to Zhang Lu: "Shi Jun, the truth is not clear, so it's better to go and explore it."
When Zhang Lu heard this, he looked at Yan Pu, but saw Yan Pu nodding, "Wei Yan used a surprise attack on Mianyang this time, and is now transferring the main force of our army. The lord can send someone to order General Yang Ren to return to the army to rescue quickly. General Zhang will delay for one or two, and he can buy time for General Yang Ren to return to the army."
No matter how fast Yang Ren is, it will take a day to come back. However, if Liu Bei’s main army arrives, Nan Zheng is now in an empty time and there is no general to defend. The most important thing is that if Liu Bei’s army does not attack the city and intercept Yang Ren instead, it will be broken. The most urgent thing is to stabilize Liu Bei’s army first and then make a decision when Yang Ren comes back.
Zhang Lu nodded when he heard this and said to Zhang Wei with some concern: "Don't act recklessly!"
"Brother, don't worry!" Zhang Wei nodded and agreed, and immediately went out to order troops.
Zhang Lu was worried about his brother's safety, so he sent all the generals around him to Zhang Wei.
...
On the other side, Liu Yi was in the camp.
"Yes, that's it, don't apply too much cinnabar. Hang the ponytail, your father's beard is the biggest feature!" Liu Yi carried a string of beards made of ponytails and hung them on Guan Ping. The smell on the horse was still there, but there was not so much time to deal with it at this moment.
"Sir, the straw man has been tied up." A team led in and bowed to Liu Yi.
"If you work harder, can you scare Zhang Lu? Let's see today. If you can break the city, I will go and ask for rewards for all the brothers!" Liu Yi nodded and patted the team leader's shoulder.
"Sir, that's all?" Guan Ping touched the fake beard made of the ponytail, and felt a little awkward. The smell from the beard was a bit hurtful. The most important thing was that the paints Liu Yi applied on his face made Guan Ping feel very uncomfortable.
"Enough, don't touch it. The paint has not dried yet. The makeup will be ruined as soon as you touch it!" Liu Yi frowned.
Guan Ping was helpless when he heard this, so he could only resist the urge to wipe away the paint on his face, and tried to turn his attention away. He looked at Liu Yi and frowned and said, "Sir, if you talk or start your hand in this moment, it may be difficult to use it."
Liu Yi used ordinary paint, not beauty makeup. It was similar to pasting mud on his face. After a while, he dried it. When his face moved, the dry paint fell down. Just thinking about the possible scene, Guan Ping felt that he shouldn't believe Liu Yi's words.
"You don't need to talk, and you don't need to do anything. With Han Sheng and I, you just need to stand under the central army's flag as you learn from your father's aura." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively. If the lifelike attributes of the grass man and the bluffing attributes of the military camp still cannot suppress the other party, then he will admit it, as long as he can rescue Wei Yan, it will be enough.
Huang Zhong walked in from outside the tent. When he saw Guan Ping, he was slightly stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Tanzhi's outfit is quite as good as a general."
"What's the use of no matter how similar it is?" Guan Ping smiled bitterly: "Even if all the soldiers in the army are out, there are only 500 people. How can they deceive the other party?"
"It's just going to give the war letter." Liu Yi smiled and said, "Five hundred people are enough."
Guan Ping said speechlessly: "If you write a letter of war, there is no need for the Lord to come forward in person, right?"
"Uh..." Liu Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if this was the reason. He looked at Guan Ping and then looked at Huang Zhong: "No need?"
"It's really not necessary." Huang Zhong nodded with a smile: "If you are General Guan, you really don't have to come forward in person."
Guan Ping was speechless. It seemed that his sins this morning were so bad that he reached out and wanted to wipe away the paint on his face.
"Report~"
At this moment, a personal guard came in and bowed to the three of them and said, "Sir, there is a group of people outside the camp. It seems that they are heading straight for our army camp."
Liu Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. Is Zhang Lu so quarrel? Guan Yu came in person and had the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight? Did he get the wrong script?
"Don't wipe it first!" Seeing that Guan Ping was about to wipe off the makeup on her face, Liu Yi's heart moved and suddenly grabbed Guan Ping's hand and said, "These people are coming at the right time."
Just as he was worried about how to prove that this was indeed a large army led by Guan Yu himself, he ran over and was a little deliberate, but now the other party came to the door by himself. At this time, Guan Yu went to the gate to watch the enemy situation, right?
"Ah?" Guan Ping looked at Liu Yi in confusion, always feeling a little bad.
"If the opponent calls in a while, General Han Sheng will leave the camp." Liu Yi ignored him and looked at Huang Zhong and said, "If you find a way to irritate your opponent and let your opponent fight against the generals, the veteran general must use thunder to kill the generals to shock the morale of the enemy soldiers. If you think the time is right, the veteran general will raise his sword as a horn. I will order someone to thunder and open the gate to make signs of a large army's troops. But the veteran general must remember not to pursue the enemy, so as not to reveal flaws."
This camp is an empty camp, where did the troops come from? Huang Zhong brought out four hundred soldiers, and Liu Yi left a hundred to beat the drums, but no soldiers went out.
"Sir, don't worry, I will know what to do!" Huang Zhong patted his chest and smiled. Liu Yi's meaning was basically clear. It was nothing more than bluffing and killing several generals from the opponent with thunder to shock the morale of the enemy's army, and then making a large army out of the camp to scare away the enemy.
"Sir, I don't know what I should do?" Guan Ping looked at Liu Yi expectantly, and naturally he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
"Stand on the gate, don't move. From time to time, I feel sad. When the drum sounds, just walk down from the gate!" Liu Yi thought for a while, this arrangement should be almost done, right?
