August night, with some hot and dry.
In Liu Xiu's camp, all the soldiers had rested.
The big account of the Chinese army.
At the moment, the lights are still bright.
Liu Xiu sat in the tent, and Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan were also in it.
People get together to discuss things.
With a serious look on his face, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, the news has just come from the rear, and Jiangdong has taken action. Zhou Yu frequently mobilizes his troops. It seems that he is going to attack our rear. "
Liu xiudao: "it seems that Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao was defeated. He was worried that he would be affected by Cao Cao's defeat, so he was ready to help Cao Cao."
It should be said: "at present, it is like this."
However, Jia Xu's face had a worried look.
This curtain fell in Liu Xiu's eyes.
Liu Xiu asked, "Wenhe, is there anything else?"
Jia Xu said: "news came from Yizhou that there was turmoil in Yizhou. Huo Jun was in charge of the investigation, but he never found out the situation behind it."
Liu xiudao: "is it possible that it was Liu Zhang or Zhang Lu?"
"It's not ruled out, but it's not sure yet," Jia said
At the moment, Liu Xiu had a dignified look on his face.
In some strange situations, Cao Yiyu and Zhou did not fight each other.
Liu Xiu thought for a while and made a decision soon.
Liu Xiu said, "he ordered Tai Shici to seize Jiangdong. Zhao Yun should be ready to control the situation in Yizhou at any time, and Yizhou should not affect the overall situation. "
"This is the critical period for a decisive battle with Cao Cao. We can't withdraw our troops."
"Once the troops withdraw, all previous achievements will be wasted."
"No matter what difficulties there are, we must press down now and wait until the decisive battle with Cao Cao is over."
Liu Xiu attached great importance to this decisive battle.
If Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, Liu Xiu would take the initiative if he could enter Yanzhou and Jizhou.
The general situation of the world is completely in his hands.
If this war can not achieve the desired effect, Cao Cao will make a comeback.
Jia Xu said: "the humble position will convey the order!"
"Well!"
Liu Xiu nodded.
He and his subordinates discussed the next direction, and then said: "it's late. Let's go down and have a rest. Now we have to wait for the news, just for the troops of Wen pin and Ma Chao. "
The crowd got up, saluted and prepared to withdraw.
Just then, the mutation happens.
"Dong! Dong! "
The sound of fighting drums suddenly came from outside the camp.
The roaring drums broke the silence of the night and made Liu Xiu, Jia Xu, Zhang Ren and others nervous.
Zhang Ren's reaction was so quick that he rushed out directly.
Then Wei Yan rushed out.
The two men were the chief generals in the army, who were responsible for the arrangement of the war. As soon as they heard the news, they both went out to check the situation.
Liu Xiu looks serious and takes Jia Xu and Pang Tong out.
However, Liu Xiu was shocked at first, and then relieved. He didn't feel nervous.
Zhang Ren is good at defense. When he arranges the barracks, he arranges the defensive forces. Even if they are attacked, they can deal with it properly.
To Liu Xiu's surprise, Cao Cao sent someone to attack the camp.
Liu Xiu came to the gate of the camp. He listened to the sound of war drums, but after waiting for a long time, no soldiers were killed in the dark. He only heard the sound of war drums.
Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, this situation may be attacked by Cao Jun, deliberately making our soldiers unable to rest."
"Of course, it may be Cao Cao's intention."
"He beat the drum several times in a row and didn't send troops. Let's relax our vigilance."
"When we really didn't care and relaxed our vigilance, Cao Jun really killed us and caught us off guard."
Zhang Ren looked confident and said: "Your Highness, no matter what Cao Cao's intention is, the final general has been arranged properly. Cao's army will not take advantage of it again. Please rest assured."
Liu xiudao: "you handle affairs, this king is at ease."
Jia Xu is old, and he has a long journey, so his physical strength is not enough.
When Zhang Renna is in line, he doesn't want to stay up late.
Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, since general Zhang has made arrangements, I will go to have a rest."
Liu Xuan nodded and said, "go, military strategist."
"Here it is
Jia Xu arched his hand and then turned to leave.
Pang Tong also left and went down to have a rest.
Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, the defense of the camp has been arranged. Your highness, let's have a rest."
Liu Xiu said with a smile, "good!"
After Liu Xiu left, only Zhang Ren and Wei Yan were left.
Zhang Ren said: "chief Wen, Cao Jun is likely to harass or even attack the camp tonight. We are divided into two groups. You stay in the first half of the night and I stay in the second half of the night to be ready for attack. "Wei Yanlian said hastily, "general, you'd better stay in the middle of the night."
It's night now, half the night.
It's the second half of the night that's really hard.
Obviously, Zhang Ren took care of Wei Yan.
Zhang Ren said: "it's settled. When I get to the battlefield, I'm just in command. I won't fight in the battlefield. It doesn't matter if I sleep less. On the contrary, you must have a good rest if you want to raise your troops to the front. "
Wei Yan opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again.
However, Zhang Ren flatly said, "it's settled. If you work hard, I'll have a rest."
Wei Yan said: "I will obey you!"
Cooperating with Zhang Ren, Wei Yan is convinced.
Zhang Ren is not only excellent at shooting, but also very appropriate in dealing with people.
Wei Yan inspected the camp, either to see the soldiers on patrol or to see the soldiers in ambush.
Outside the camp, in the woods in the distance.
Cao Ren led a group of soldiers, is ambushing in the woods.
Originally, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to choose a general to harass, but in the end, Cao Ren came by himself.
This is because Cao Cao is going to withdraw his troops tonight, and Cao Ren's attack is not only to attract Liu Xiu's attention, but also to be responsible for severing the army after dawn.
Cao Ren hid in the forest, staring at the brightly lit camp.
The camp of Chu army is very strict.
Although there was only a group of soldiers on patrol, Cao Ren thought that there must be ambush because of the heavy barracks.
If he rushes over, he will be ambushed.
Cao Ren harassed a pass, waiting for about half an hour, ordered: "summon the southeast ambush, ring the drum."
"Here it is
Cao Ren's soldiers went to send orders immediately.
Time compensation, war drum ring.
In the silent night, the war drums roared, which made the soldiers on patrol gather quickly in the camp of Chu army, and then they were ready.
However, no Cao soldiers attacked.
The assembled Chu soldiers soon dispersed.
Cao Ren saw the changes in the camp of Chu army in his eyes. After two attacks, the enemy's ambush did not appear. It seemed that he was hiding deeply.
Cao Ren is not in a hurry.
As an experienced general, he has enough patience.
Cao Ren waited quietly. Half an hour later, Cao Ren was ready to launch a small-scale attack.
It's too little to harass the ribs. You have to mobilize the soldiers of Chu army.
