Gu Yong changed his words and said: "I think it's no problem for me to attack Zhang Xiu jointly. But now, there is a better chance to deal with Zhang Xiu. "
"What's the chance?" Liu Biao asked
Gu Yong replied: "I have received the news from the sentinel that Zhang Xiu is in front of me and has confronted sun CE. Strangely enough, all the grain of Zhang Xiu was hidden in a valley twelve miles southwest of Zhang Xiu. "
"Humble speculation, Zhang Xiu all the food, transferred to the valley, leaving only a small part of the food in the army, most likely to be in preparation for retreat."
"Zhang Xiu is not a fool. He can definitely calculate. We may calculate him."
"So, he prepared early."
Gu Yong suggested: "I think I can seize this batch of grain. The Lord himself led the army and went to the granary to control the grain quietly
"In this way, when Zhang Xiu retreats, there will be no food. And we will unite with Liu Bei to attack Zhang Xiu. At that time, Zhang Xiu's army is short of food and even more vulnerable. "
Gu Yong gave suggestions.
Liu Biao's eyes brightened when he heard this, showing his approval.
Good idea!
That's a good idea.
But now Liu Biao is old. He said, "Sir, I'm old enough to go in person."
Gu Yong said, "my Lord, I have considered this matter in my humble position. You know the elite of Zhang Xiu's army. Even if Zhang Xiu does not have many soldiers in the granary, it is not easy to break through. "
"If we want to win, we must do our best, or we will not succeed."
"If the Lord and a few soldiers are left in the barracks, what if Liu Bei says something evil? If you know people, face and heart, you have to be on guard. After all, with enough interests, everyone may take risks. "
This time, Gu Yong had to ask Liu Biao to send troops.
Liu Biao stroked his beard and nodded. Although Liu Bei and Liu Bei are united in heart, they can also be on guard.
Gu Yong continued to bewitch: "of course, my Lord is really not willing. You can ask Liu Bei to send troops together to seize the grain. It's just that we have to take Liu Bei with us when it's clear that we can take our own grain. It's cheaper for Liu Bei. "
Liu Biao said: "but when our army is out, Liu Bei is likely to get the news."
"It doesn't matter!"
Gu Yong said with a smile: "our camp is not next to Liu Bei. We are several miles away. What's more, the camp is wide and long, and the place is far away. We left a few soldiers to patrol and watch the night, and all the rest of the army left the rear camp and left overnight. "
"By tomorrow morning, when Liu Bei found out, we were all close to the front line and even took Zhang Xiu's granary. At that time, we will control the granary first. Even if Liu Bei comes, we can only watch. "
"In this way, we will hold Zhang Xiu's throat. It's easier to deal with Zhang Xiu. "
Gu Yong said: "when we attack Zhang Xiu with Liu Bei, we will win a great victory."
"Wonderful, wonderful! How wonderful
Liu Biao is looking forward to the winning scene, and his face is full of expectation.
He lost several times to Zhang Xiu and suffered several times. In front of Zhang Xiu, he couldn't get any good. At this time, Liu Biao was very happy to hear Gu Yong's words.
For a moment, the blood was boiling.
Liu Biao immediately called wenpin and gave the order to send troops.
Wenpin was puzzled and didn't understand why he had to send troops all night. When he asked Liu Biao, he got a reply from Liu Biao, but asked him to carry out the task directly without asking more.
Wenpin has no choice but to carry out the task.
Liu Biao mobilized nearly 30000 troops and quietly left the rear camp. Although he left, he left more than 1000 soldiers in the camp. The patrol and defense of the whole camp showed no sign of leaving.
It's past midnight.
Fortunately, in the evening of September, the starry sky is bright, the full moon is high, the bright moonlight is falling down, and the night is not too deep. Even if there is no torch, you can still go on your way.
Soldiers in the army, fast forward.
The whole evening, the army did not stop, has been moving on.
As dawn approached, the sky began to brighten.
At this time, a sentinel quickly ran back from the front and came to wenpin's side, reporting: "general Wen, three miles in front of us is a gourd valley. We are in the broadest position of hulugu valley. If we go inside, the road will become narrower and narrower. The narrowest part can only accommodate three people. The road is more than ten miles away. "
After Wen pin heard this, he immediately raised his heart and asked, "is there any sign of ambush in hulugu Valley ahead?"
"I can't see it!"
The sentry shook his head and answered directly.
After Wen pin heard this, he was still worried on his rough cheek. After all, hulugu in front is very easy to encounter ambush. In such hulugu, when it is ambushed, it is naturally at a disadvantage.Wenpin ordered to slow down the speed of the road, and galloped forward quickly. After entering hulugu Valley, he carefully examined the topography inside. The stone walls on both sides of hulugu valley are steep and rugged, with a height of 34 Zhang. On the slope are woods.
It's hard to escape from ambush in such a place.
Wen pin was very worried. He quickly turned around his horse and withdrew the rear army. He came to Liu Biao and reported: "Lord, the terrain ahead is hulugu Valley, which is very likely to be ambushed. I don't think it's possible for me to stop for a while and go there after careful inquiry. Or, take the path, take the rest of the way, and go around the road. "
"No need!"
Liu Biao is very confident, big sleeve a brush way: "today's situation, do not need to consider ambush.". Because we sent troops on a temporary basis, no one knew that we were going to pass here. Under such circumstances, who will ambush us? Wenpin, you worry too much. Don't worry, just go straight on the way. "
Wenpin worried: "Lord..."
He also wanted to persuade, but as soon as the words came out, Liu Biao interrupted: "don't say any more, you can lead the troops directly. I have already said that there can be no ambush. This time, it must be extremely safe. "
Wen pin sighed in his heart.
What is security.
How can the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in such a large army be perfunctory with the assurance of safety.
However, wenpin has no way to stop it.
Wen pin sighed, arched his hand and ordered the soldiers to continue on their way.
The mighty army entered the hulugu valley. At the beginning, the entrance of hulugu was more than 20 feet wide, which could accommodate countless soldiers on their way side by side.
After entering, the distance shortens a little bit.
From 20 Zhang to 18 Zhang, gradually to 15 Zhang, to the middle position, it was less than 10 Zhang.
Liu Biao was complacent and rode on his horse without any worries.
He looked at wenpin not far away and joked: "wenpin, you just like to worry about things. You see, we're here, and we haven't been ambushed yet. You just think too much. "
Wenpin smiles and doesn't answer. When it comes to such things, he really doesn't want to talk to Liu Biao. Because once the argument, Liu Biao will forcibly interrupt him.
Gu Yong followed Liu Biao, and when he saw this behind the scenes, he was amazed. Wenpin is worthy of Jingzhou's general, quite keen, even suspect hulugu ambush.
It's not easy.
Wenpin has the ability to anticipate the enemy and take the lead.
Gu Yong didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and he was surrounded by relatives to protect his safety.
