"Ha ha, it's true that Zhou Yu has no intention of fighting, but Fu Yi city still goes down without fighting. What are you afraid of?" Liu Pan laughs.
After going down to the capital city of Liang without a war, Liu Pan's soldiers pointed directly at the city of Fuyi. As a result, the garrison in Fuyi city also opened the gate of the city, so Fuyi city fell into the hands of the Wuling army without bloodshed.
"It seems that Zhou Yu is really ready to collect all the materials of Wuling army and launch a decisive battle with our army under Quanling city." Huang Zhong is slow.
"Ha ha, it's OK. Our army in the province will attack cities one by one. It's better to be under Quanling city and win the first battle!" Liu Panhao was cool.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. A soldier rushed in and said, "General Liu Lang, General Huang, found traces of the enemy marching and cooking not far from the city."
When Liu Pan heard the speech, his eyes lit up: "Oh? Take me, Ben will see it for himself
The army is also a human being. When marching and fighting, it naturally has to cook. Moreover, it is carried out according to the situation of the army. It has always been a major factor in judging the enemy. The number of the enemy troops can be seen from here.
During the Warring States period, Sun Bin, a famous military strategist of Qi State, used to lure Pang Juan of Wei state to chase him. As a result, he laid an ambush at a predetermined location, and eventually defeated Pang Juan and shot him with random arrows.
Liu Pan can't wait to rush out, follow the sentry to the Jiangdong army's kitchen.
"General, this is where Jiangdong army cooks."
"Well, let me see."
Liu Pan stretched out his spear to pick up the ashes on the ground and looked at it carefully. It was obvious that these stoves had been cooked. As a general who marched and fought, he was good at these things, so he could see at a glance that this was true.
"Well..." Liu Pan carefully counted the number of pits, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He couldn't help laughing.
"What's the matter, public power?" Huang Zhong asked.
"Ha ha ha, brother Hansheng!"
Liu Pan said with a smile: "the enemy troops are obviously up and down, but the number of the kitchen pits is only about 8000. It seems that there is a reason why Zhou Yu avoided the war passively. The soldiers under his command are so timid that they dare not fight with our army. How dare Zhou Yu fight with our army?"
Huang Zhong was cautious by nature: "public power, be careful. What if Zhou Yu imitates Sun Bin of the Warring States period and confuses our army by reducing kitchen stoves?"
"Oh? This is not to be avoided. "
Although Liu Pan was fierce and impatient, he didn't listen to anything. In combination with his abnormal situation these days, Zhou Yu could have set up a plan to lure the enemy.
He nodded solemnly: "what you said is reasonable. It seems that Zhou Yu may have set up a conspiracy."
Seeing Liu Pan become cautious, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
After the capture of Fuyi City, three hundred soldiers remained to guard the city, while the two men led the army to continue to March and conquer Taoyang city.
On the way to Zhou Yu's departure, he still found the enemy's kitchen pits, but this time it became less than the previous one. Only about 7000 people were left.
"General, we found the deserter of Jiangdong army in Taoyang city!" The soldiers under his command reported in a loud voice.
"Oh? Come on, quickly
After a short time, some soldiers under his command had already brought up the deserters of Jiangdong army who had been caught.
"Spare your life, general. Spare your life, general. The villain is willing to join the general!" The deserter had just been brought up, and he cried and cried, and looked as timid as a mouse.
Liu Pan sneered: "I ask you, what's wrong with Zhou Yu? Did he deliberately set up a plan to reduce cooking stoves to tempt our army?"
The deserter shook his head and said, "no, although the governor of Dadu encouraged his morale, most of our troops were from Jingnan. It was only a few months since we joined sun's command. How can we work for sun? Now I heard that Liu Lang and Gao Dudu Du's army were marching in two directions. We did not dare to fight against Wang Shi. Therefore, we fled one after another. I hid in Taoyang city... "
" Oh? "
Liu Pan sneered, suddenly clapped at the table, and yelled: "well, you dare to deceive this general? Drag it down for me
"Here it is
Two guards with big arms and round waists came up and caught the deserter one by one and dragged them out.
"Ah? Don't beat me, general. I tell you the truth. I dare not cheat at all Cried the deserter.
However, Liu Pan just gave a sneer, and the deserter was dragged out for a while, and the stick was pounded hard on his buttocks. The dull sound and the howling sound sounded together, but Liu Pan was not moved at all.
"Do you dare to cheat this general?" Liu Pan said coldly.
"General, the villain really... Really didn't cheat the general." The deserter whispered.
"How dare you deceive me? Call me! " Liu Pan frowned angrily.
"Ah? Don't fight, don't fight. I really didn't cheat Liu Lang Jiang... "The deserter was beaten hard and fainted, but he always insisted that there were more and more deserters under Zhou Yu's command, which relieved Liu Pan.
"It seems that there are more and more deserters under Zhou Yu, which is a good thing for me." Liu Pan said with a smile.
"Go and call brother Hansheng!" Liu Pan yelled to his soldiers.
Soon after, Huang Zhong came over dressed in all his clothes, and Liu Pan immediately repeated what he had just done to Huang Zhong.
"Brother Hansheng, the deserter was tortured by me, but he always admitted that there were more and more deserters under Zhou Yu's command. It seems that he can't support this time."
Liu Pan's eyes flashed brightly: "our army can capture this fighter, speed up the speed to intercept Zhou Yu, and unexpectedly appear in front of the enemy. Zhou Yu's army has no intention of fighting, isn't it necessarily defeated?"
Huang Zhong shook his head: "our army is better to be more cautious, step by step, and Zhou Yu will show up sooner or later."
"Brother Hansheng, you are too careful. Are you old?" Liu Pan was dissatisfied.
Huang Zhong is over 50 years old and nearly 60 years old. Although he can still ride a horse and pull out the three stone hard bow, his hair and beard are gray and a little old-fashioned.
Liu Pan was dissatisfied with Huang Zhong's prudence. He felt that he was too old to attack.
Huang Zhong couldn't help frowning: "what are you talking about, public power? I just think it's better to be careful
"Well, the enemy's continuous reduction of the range shows that the deserters of the Jiangdong army are gradually increasing. If our army can catch up with it, we can win the first battle. What are we afraid of?"
Hearing Liu Pan's words, Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly and said, "well, in this case, our army will catch up with him. However, the front and back should be divided into two parts to prevent the enemy from plotting to ambush."
