After Zhuge Liang received Liu Bei's authorization, he began to take action.
First, he asked Fu Tong to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Fancheng to replace Liu Feng. In this way, Fancheng had a total of 4,000 soldiers and horses, plus hundreds of county soldiers. Zhuge Liang believed that even if Cao's army besieged Fancheng, Fancheng could hold out. The arrival of reinforcements.
Secondly, Zhuge Liang sent people to spread the news and planned to set up an ambush on the road to ambush Xiahou Dun's team on the way.
Then, Zhuge Liang asked his men to prepare flammable materials, and asked his men to reinforce the city wall with great fanfare. Then he stopped giving orders and waited for the arrival of Cao Jun.
"Kong Ming, do you want to defend the city?" The judge was curious about Zhuge Liang's command and asked Zhuge Liang privately.
"Of course not."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Xinye City is small and it is difficult to defend against a large army. Defending the city is not the best strategy."
"Then why don't you continue taking action?" Shen Pei asked.
"Cao's army will not arrive so soon." Zhuge Liang said confidently.
"Why?" Shen Pei asked, puzzled.
The intelligence returned by the spies showed that Xiahou Dun's army was marching very fast. At this speed, Xiahou Dun would be able to reach Xinye City in less than a month.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, letting Shen Pei guess on his own.
In the north, Xiahou Dun led his 50,000-strong army toward Xinye. When they were one-third of the way, Xiahou Dun received intelligence that Liu Bei's army would set up an ambush halfway.
Xiahou Dun immediately paid attention to it.
Although he had won several battles and was proud of himself, looking down on Liu Bei's few troops, he still knew the most basic things. The army is most afraid of encountering an ambush midway. A sudden ambush can easily plunge the army into chaos.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun immediately slowed down his marching speed and sent out scouts continuously to investigate and investigate to prevent Liu Bei's army from ambush on the way.
Xiahou Dun was cautious for a while, very cautiously, and led the army to advance slowly. However, as time passed, Xiahou Dun became a little impatient, especially since the spies and scouts did not find anything every day, which made Xiahou Dun feel more and more what he had received. The information is false.
Along the way, not even a single one of Liu Beijun's spies was seen, let alone an ambush.
At the same time, the spies in Xinye also brought back a piece of information, that is, Liu Bei's army was building a city in Xinye. Xiahou Dun suddenly felt that he had guessed what Liu Bei wanted to do.
"Give me the order to speed up the march." Xiahou Dun ordered.
"General, why do you need to speed up?" Lieutenant General Li Dian felt strange and asked.
"Huh, we've all fallen into the trap."
Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "I fell into Liu Bei's rumors."
"What rumors?" Cao Ang asked curiously.
Cao Ang has a special status. Cao Cao asked him to follow him on the expedition, and the meaning of nurturing was in it. As an uncle, Xiahou Dun naturally had to do his best to teach Cao Ang.
He explained to Cao Ang: "Liu Bei sent people to spread rumors. The purpose is to make us worry and slow down the march so that they have time to reinforce the city."
Hearing this, Cao Ang also understood.
"General, shouldn't you be more careful?"
Li Dian disapproved of Xiahou Dun's approach. He said: "The marching speed is slower, but the victory is safety. Even if Liu Bei takes advantage of the time to reinforce the city, how far can it be reinforced? In front of the army, everything is like powder."
"Huh, you know it's a trick, but you still fall for it on purpose?" Xiahou Dun didn't have a good temper towards other people, so he just started to rant.
Li Dian continued to do his duty and advised: "General, you should be more careful. Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang is very resourceful, so be careful of falling into his trap."
"Zhuge Liang?"
When he heard that it was Zhuge Liang, Xiahou Dun became even more upset. He said angrily: "So-called Mr. Wolong? Comparing with Guan Zhong Leyi? It's ridiculous. Zikao was just careless and fell into the trap. You people believed it. Hmph, I must capture him alive." He will show you the true face of this village man."
Having said that, he no longer listened to Li Dian's persuasion and continued to ask the army to speed up.
As soon as Cao Jun's march accelerated, Xin Yema got the news.
"Kong Ming, did Xiahou Dun's army speed up so suddenly?" After receiving the news, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei hoped that Cao Jun would never come to Xinye. Originally, Xiahou Dun was suspicious because Zhuge Liang sent people to spread rumors, and his marching speed was as fast as a turtle crawling, which made Liu Bei very happy.
The later Xiahou Dun comes, the stronger he becomes. The five thousand soldiers and horses supported by Liu Biao, the three thousand newly recruited soldiers and horses, and the three thousand surrendered soldiers and horses, combined, the strength of Xinye City has exceeded 20,000. However, these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses still need to be trained to form an effective army. combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Liu Bei wished that it would take ten thousand years for Xiahou Dun's 50,000 troops to arrive in Xinye.
But now Xiahou Dun suddenly accelerated his marching speed, changing his previous cautious attitude, which made Liu Bei worried about whether Xiahou Dun had any conspiracy.
"Don't worry, Lord."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile, and Shen Pei was also smiling beside him, not as worried as Liu Bei.
Seeing Liu Bei looking at him, Shen Pei could only explain to Liu Bei. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
