Chapter 397 ordered to intercept Xu Zhongkang ambush and reveal the stuffing
Seeing that Lu Bu stopped, Wei Xu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, why did you stop?"
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the paradise, Li Su was confused. When he saw Lu Bu ordering the stop of the army, he guessed some of Lu Bu's intentions.
Seeing Wei Xu’s doubts, Li Su replied: “General Wei, please take a closer look. Is this cliff entrance a little different from a few months ago?”
Wei Xu looked puzzled and looked at the pass for a while, but couldn't see anything. He asked in confusion: "Nothing is wrong? Is it still the same."
Cao Xing looked heavy, glanced at Wei Xu helplessly, and explained: "Aiyakou is the only important road connecting prefectures and Yewang County. The terrain is very dangerous and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. A few months ago, when our army passed by Naiyakou, we saw hundreds of soldiers guarding him, but now we are missing. There must be something strange about it."
Li Su nodded and smiled, "General Cao said well. General Wei, look at the hillsides on both sides of the cliff entrance, with lush forests. Although it is winter, there are still birds flying, but you see, the birds hovering in the air but not falling into the forest. What does it mean?"
Wei Xu frowned and said, "I guess there is some beast in the forest, so the birds dare not fall."
When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious and cursed: "Idiot, you Wei Xu are a good player in the jungle. Have you ever seen a tiger but a bird does not fall? There are people in the forest."
Wei Xu suddenly realized it. Seeing Lu Bu a little angry, he whispered: "So that's it. It's still the lord, and since there is an ambush in the forest, it's better to let the general lead people to encircle and suppress it, so as to boost our army's morale."
When Lu Bu heard it again, he was almost irritated to slap Wei Xu a few times, and said angrily: "You guy, you usually ask you to read more military books, which will make me angry."
Seeing that Lu Bu was angry, Wei Xu didn't dare to speak anymore and stood beside him and said softly, "General Wei, the Yang family army is ambushing in the forest. Our army should be careful to avoid being plotted against by the Yang family army."
Wei Xu muttered: "So what about the Yang family army? What are you afraid of them doing?"
Lu Bu was so angry that he became numb. He ignored Wei Xu's words and asked after observing the cliff corner, "Li Su, Cao Xing, do you two have a plan to defeat the enemy?"
Cao Xing first replied: "Lord, now we have noticed that the enemy is ambushing the forests on the hillsides on both sides of the Jiyakou, but the enemy does not know that we have discovered them. Why don't we use our plans? While marching slowly towards the Jiyakou, we sent elite troops to sneak into two forests, set fire to the mountains, and force the enemy to appear. At that time, the morale of the enemy will be lost. Our army can just do its best to defeat them directly."
Li Su frowned and said, "No, no, General Cao's plan is good, but if the Yang family invaded Hanoi in the south, he would definitely send a large number of mail cavalry to investigate the military power of various counties. Our army came over a long distance and would definitely not escape the Yang family's eye... "
Lu Bu asked irritably: "Li Su, although our army's movements cannot escape the Yang family's eye, we have also seen through their plans at this time. Cao Xing's plan is good, why do you object?"
Li Su bowed and replied, "Su, it is not that he disagrees with General Cao's plan. However, lord might as well think about it this way. Lu Bu, the descendants of all the world, and the red rabbit among the horses. In addition, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under the lord, although there are only 20,000 people in this combat power, they should not be underestimated. Who is Yang Fan? That is the general of the cavalry of my great Han Dynasty. He is the best in the world in his civil and military affairs. He is surrounded by fierce generals and counselors like rain. Since he knows that our army is coming to help Hanoi, how are the people who block here ordinary people?"
Lu Bu looked solemn and said suspiciously: "Li Su, are you saying that the one who blocks our army this time may be the elite of the Yang family?"
Li Su nodded and affirmed: "The big horse in Liangzhou is rampant in the world, and the famous cavalry of Xiliang is in the four directions. In the eyes of outsiders, how can there be a reason to be careless? Besides, the lord is still the most elite Bingzhou wolf cavalry!"
Cao Xing asked, "Then Lord Li said how to defeat the enemy?"
Li Su laughed and said, "General Cao's plan is very good, but our army also wants to go forward to lure the enemy. This is a pass, and the wind will only blow into the pass. When the fire comes, it will be difficult for our army to get out. If we don't go forward to lure the enemy, the longer the time will be, the clues will be seen by the enemy generals. I predict that the infantry will be blocking our army this time, and with the advantage of our army's war horses, we can also defeat the enemy head-on."
Lu Bu felt it was reasonable, so he immediately prepared for war. At the same time, he sent people to the ambushing Yang family army to invite the battle.
Just as Lu Bu was scheduling troops, in the mountains and forests on both sides of the pass, Xu Chu saw Lu Bu's army suddenly stop and then stopped moving forward. He was extremely anxious and asked Li Ru: "Wenyou, do you think our ambush was discovered by Lu Bu?"
Li Ru stared at Lu Bujun in the distance with his eyes, shook his head and replied: "I don't know."
After a while, Lu Bu's army suddenly began to arrange troops and at the same time ran out several cavalry to rush towards the pass. Li Ru knew that the ambush had been discovered and said now: "Zhongkang, the ambush has been discovered. We might as well defend the pass to the death and wait for Lu Bu's army to attack. The terrain here is low in the west and high in the east. Lu Bu's army is subject to an upward attack, and the advantage of war horses is limited. With the courage of the camp, Lu Bu could not have thought of this cliff entrance."
After hearing this, Xu Chu sighed, "What a pity, I was discovered by Lu Bu. Forget it, let's go out and see if Lu Bu dares to attack."
Then, in the mountains and forests, 20,000 soldiers of the camp moved and slowly walked out of the mountains and forests, waiting for the pass under the command of Xu Chu.
At this time, Lu Bu's envoy also rushed to Xu Chu's formation and loudly stated that Lu Bu wanted to fight Xu Chu to a decisive battle.
Li Ru thought a little and smiled: "Lu Bu still wants to provoke the general, but this method is too inferior. Zhongkang must not be fooled. Just keep the pass, which is a great achievement."
Xu Chu replied carelessly: "Don't worry Wenyou, I won't leave here half a step. If Lu Bu thought about it, he would do it yourself."
Taishi Ci was a "guest" and he never spoke a word. He always followed Xu Chu, quietly waiting for the war to come.
Xu Chu immediately whispered to Lu Bu's envoy: "You go back and tell Lu Fengxian that he wants to fight, just come and attack!"
When the messenger returned, after receiving the news, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's hateful, there are people who despise me Lu Bu so much."
