Lipu County is located in the north of Cangwu county.

Liu Xiu led ten thousand troops, not in a hurry.

Entering the boundary of Cangwu County, Liu Xiu's marching speed slowed down. The more unavoidable it is, the hotter it is, and the worse the geographical environment is.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu had already made preparations. At the same time, drinking water for soldiers in the army is strictly prohibited. Only when it is boiled can it be used. He must not eat mountain springs in the forest.

In addition, Liu Xiu marched in the daytime. In the evening, he found an open place to settle down, never near the mountains.

In terms of diet, clothing and housing, Liu Xiu was careful.

After the army arrived in Lipu County, it easily captured Lipu County without any effort. After resupply, Liu Xiu left a part of the soldiers stationed and led the troops to continue to go south.

From the south of Lipu County, you can go directly to Guangxin county.

After half a day's rest, the army went to camp.

In the big account, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu were discussing the way of the war.

"Newspaper!"

Outside the camp, the voice of the soldiers sounded.

"Come in!"

Liu xiuphen said.

The curtain of the battalion commander's door rolled up, the soldiers came in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "my Lord, I just got the news. Liu Bei has sent out an army, led by Shi Yi, and ten thousand people are coming to kill us. It is expected that we will meet in three days

"Three days!"

Liu Xiu thought for a while, and his eyes were full of meditation.

Waving his hand to order the soldiers to step down, Liu Xiu asked, "Shi Yuan, Wen he, what do you think?"

Pang Tong said: "Lord, I have an idea for Shiyi."

"What do you think?" Liu Xiu asked.

Pang Tong said: "Shi Yi used to be the younger brother of Shi Xie who controlled Jiaozhou. However, this person is also quite brave, but some conceited. In this battle, we might as well show weakness, induce the other party to attack, and then defeat Shi Yi at one stroke. Specific operation, we can do this, do this... "

A complete plan, described by Pang Tong, was completed quickly.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Shiyuan's brilliant plan, Shiyi will surely fall into the trap. Moreover, this is the situation of Jiaozhou in itself, and it is reasonable for us to have this situation when we arrive. "

Jia Xu said: "if there is another possibility?"

Liu Xiu asked, "what's possible?"

Pang Tong's eyes also showed a look of curiosity. He guessed which aspect Jia Xu was thinking about?

Jia Xu replied: "the mantis catches the cicada, the Yellow sparrow is behind."

In a word, Pang Tong's face changed slightly and said, "yes, I really missed it. If I can use a stratagem, Zhuge Liang will certainly use the same stratagem. This time, I'm a calculating man. Zhuge Liang is likely to be calculating me. "

Pang Tong asked, "what's Wenhe Gong Gong's suggestion?"

Jia Xu said with a smile, "it's very simple. We can take the initiative to withdraw our troops and then send them out."

"I see!"

Pang Tong's eyes were full of excitement.

As for Jia Xu's stratagem, he understood it after a little thought.

Zhuge Liang is so resourceful that he can't arrange a situation without a way out. Even Zhuge Liang may just ask Shi Yi to test it, and then decide whether to attack or not.

Liu Xiu also understood and said with a smile, "now that we have made a plan, we will implement it immediately. Wen he and Shi Yuan, you two are in charge and make arrangements immediately. "

"No!"

When Pang Tong and Jia Xu got the order, they began to adjust the army.

In the army, it soon came out that some soldiers were infected with miasma and had been isolated.

News, spread around.

When Shi Yi got the news, he couldn't help laughing and said, "the military strategist really expected what Liu Xiu was going to do."

However, there is doubt in Shiyi's heart.

On the first night, the soldiers sent by Shi Yi came back.

The soldier reported: "general, we bypassed Liu Xiu's army and went to the camp behind him. It was discovered that the temporary earth mound cooking utensils used by Liu Xiu's soldiers were one tenth less than those used in the beginning. "

"Explore again!"

Shi Yi was happy and sent soldiers out again to inquire about the news.

To be sure, Zhuge Liang said that Liu Xiu's soldiers would fall into miasma, but Shi Yi couldn't make sure whether the information was correct, so Shi Yi specially sent soldiers to check the cooking utensils used by Liu Xiu Xing's army.

The next day, the army continued on its way.

At night, the soldiers came to Shiyi's camp again.

The soldier reported: "general, the fire stoves in Jingzhou have been reduced by about one tenth. What's more, according to the information, many of Liu Xiu's soldiers are ill and are now in solitary custody. "

"Good, good, good!"

Shi Yi looks excited. For two days in a row, he confirms that Liu Xiu's army has been attacked by miasma. He is very happy.Liu Xiu will be defeated in this war.

Shi Yi ordered the army to March quickly to shorten the distance with Liu Xiu's army.

Liu Xiu's army has been continuously attacked by diseases. Now it must be demoralized, and the soldiers in the army lack combat effectiveness. At this time, he led the army to attack, and the first world war could solve Liu Xiu's army.

The two sides were facing each other. By the end of the morning of the third day, the distance between the two sides was less than 10 kilometers.

Liu Xiu temporarily ordered the army to stop and recuperate, and called Jia Xu and Pang Tong to discuss the matter. Liu Xiu said, "it's only ten kilometers away. The battle is coming. Do you have anything else to add?"

Pang Tong said: "Lord, everything is ready. There is nothing to add."

Jia Xu said: "we will win this battle. Of course, it depends on whether Zhuge Liang is successful. "

Liu Xiu saw that neither of them had anything to add, and he felt at ease. After a quarter of an hour's rest, Liu Xiu ordered him to move on. At noon, the two armies met.

The meeting place is an open area.

As the two armies confront each other, Liu Xiu drives his horse to the front of the army, and his eyes fall on each other's big flag. This big flag is embroidered with the word "Shi". The general of the big flag, wearing a bright silver armor, holding a big gun in his hand, is an outstanding scholar.

Liu xiulang said: "Shiyi, you give up resistance now, I can spare your life."

Shi Yi burst out laughing and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are really beyond your ability. Do you think it's still your Jingzhou in Cangwu county? Before that, a large number of soldiers under your command were infected with malaria. Now, no more than 6000 soldiers can fight again. Under such circumstances, how can you fight again? "

Shi Yi's voice, transmitted in the army, enhanced the morale of the soldiers.

Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "Shiyi, do you really think that the soldiers under my command will get sick because of miasma?"

Shi Yi said: "this is a fact. Do you want to deny it?"

Liu Xiu straddled the horse with a smile on his face and said, "Shiyi, you can judge that the soldiers under my command are poisoned by miasma because they use less local cooking stoves. Don't you know that the reduction of soil stoves can also be used as a stratagem? "

Brush!

Shi Yi's face suddenly turned blue.

Don't you think it's a trick!

However, when he came to this stage, he said, "it's impossible for you to retreat. Your soldiers infected with the disease have been isolated. Don't you want to deny it? "

Liu Xiu said: "Shi Yi, don't you know that this news is also false news that our official asked people to release?"

Shi Yi's heart gradually sank after listening.

The morale of the 10000 soldiers under his command had been raised, but now after listening to Liu Xiu's words, his heart became cold. One by one, there was a look of panic in their eyes.

The scholar said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, don't be bluffing."

Liu Xiu said, "if you are bluffing or not, you can look down. Do you know that I deliberately slowed down the speed of the march to lure you to fight here. "

"No way!"

Shi Yi denied it and raised his gun. He was ready to fight.

His simple conversation with Liu Xiu made his soldiers tremble. If we go on, maybe our soldiers have no courage to fight.

"Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the sound of drums suddenly came from the rear of the shiyijun formation.

"Kill, kill Shiyi."

Suddenly, the cry came from the rear of the army.

At the same time, Liu Xiu also pulled out his sword and ordered: "kill!" At the first order, the soldiers were already rushing forward, whining and rushing.
