57, wait and see(2/2)

"Something weird."

Although I can't guess Wang Zheng's intention, Guan Yu's proposal is indeed reasonable. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and if the thieves do not act rashly, Xiapi really can't divide the troops anymore.

That’s all!

Liu Bei slapped the table and shouted: "I am ordering the three armies to be on strict alert."

"Order, three routes of horse inspection every day, cyclic spying, covering a range of twenty miles!"

“Especially the lower phase on the east side, you need to pay attention to it all the time!”

"In addition..." Liu Bei ordered: "You can send a message to the generals who are guarding you and be on alert. If you encounter an enemy situation, no matter how many thieves there are, you can only defend the city and not go out to fight in the field!"

"If you encounter an enemy situation, immediately burn smoke at the beacon tower and call for help!"

"Here!"

...

The people who went out on that road were naturally Wu Sheng and his party.

In Wang Zheng's view, it was easy to capture Pi, but it was very difficult to capture Xia Pi at a small cost, drive away Liu Bei, or even kill this future enemy.

Fortunately, when he met Li Ren before coming, Wang Zheng had something in mind and stayed behind.

"If virtuality cannot deceive the enemy, then reality will be deceitful; if reality cannot deceive the enemy, then virtuality will be used." If you cannot deceive the enemy with virtuality, use reality; if you cannot deceive the enemy with reality, use virtuality.

Now he was just trying to show off the chariot and horses to show Liu Bei that he was "real", but in fact there were still people all along the way!

Of course, he didn't know how many Yuan Shu's troops Li Ren could gather, what their combat effectiveness was, and he didn't know. Wang Zheng didn't know whether Wu Sheng could capture the Prime Minister before Liu Bei could react.

As the saying goes, it is up to man to make things happen, but it is only up to God.

On the night of the third day after Wu Sheng left, the messenger reported: "General, Major Wu has joined Li Ren!"

"oh?"

At this time, Wang Zheng was discussing matters with Yu Jin, Xu Fang and others in the lobby, first to recharge their batteries, and secondly to drain Liu Bei's army's morale. Hearing these words, everyone looked sideways, and Wang Zheng even asked directly: "How many people have Li Ren gathered together?"

Yuan Jun?"

"About four thousand people!" said the sentry rider: "To prevent the enemy from being alert, Major Wu and Yuan Jun are currently stationed in a valley fifty miles away from the city, and the siege has not yet officially begun."

It's a bit less. Wang Zheng frowned and asked, "How about the city defense?"

"The villain is watching from a distance. There are dense banners and golden drums. It seems that the defense is very tight." The sentry said: "I see that all the city gates are closed. Only the west gate is open for an hour at noon every day.

Let the surrounding villagers take refuge in the city, but everyone who enters the city must be strictly inspected, and must be identified by someone familiar in the city, otherwise they will be beheaded if there is any problem!"

Having said this, the sentry knight sighed: "Several brothers have suffered a loss because of this!"

"Where are the defeated troops?" Xu Fang interjected and asked, "Is it possible to fight?"

"It's a mess, there's no order at all, and there's no morale at all." The sentry knight said: 'It is precisely for this reason that Major Wu decided to put things in order first.'

"Yeah." Wang Zheng nodded: "It should be so."

Wang Zheng had spent some time in Yangzhou and knew that the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command were not very disciplined and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. At least compared to Cao Cao's army that they had fought against, they were actually much inferior.

Now that they have suffered a big defeat and then lost their coach, it is understandable that they have different minds.

"Did Wu Sheng say when he would attack the city?" he asked again.

"I am about to report back to the general." The sentry rider said: 'Major Wu said that within ten days, he will take down the prime minister and present it to the general in front of him!'

So confident?
