After the Yangzhou Army arrived at Chenliu, the scouting war became active.
Xiahou Dun was not willing to be a blind man and sent out scout cavalry many times to regain his sight.
In the wilderness, sporadic fighting could be heard from time to time.
There are often only a dozen or twenty people on both sides of the war, but they are extremely fierce.
The scouts are all brave men in the army, so they will not show mercy when fighting.
In just one day, the scouts from both sides fought more than thirty times, and Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses.
Three thousand scouts were sent out, but only one thousand came back.
Xiahou Dun is heartbroken!
There are only tens of thousands of cavalry in the army. If this continues, the cavalry will be exhausted before the war begins.
On the side of Cao Cao's army, the cavalry has become expendable, which is lamentable.
"General, for the current plan, we can only send ordinary people to investigate the news and lure them with large sums of money."
After thinking about it, Sima Yi gave some advice.
This will undoubtedly lead to confusion in intelligence and various delays.
"This is the only solution for now."
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to make a compromise. Anyway, he could only stick to Chenliu, and there was no need for other bells and whistles.
The most important thing is always Chen Liu¡¯s safety!
"General, I think the Yangzhou Army clears roadblocks and fills in the moat during the day. Our army can travel at night to set up roadblocks and dig trenches."
This was the second suggestion given by Sima Yi, and Xiahou Dun accepted it.
The next day, Dian Wei went to Chenliu City to fight as usual, but found that the roads were not smooth. Either trenches blocked the roads, or the roads were covered with sharp iron filings, and there were iron nails hidden in the dark.
"These idiots!"
Dian Wei cursed, started repeating the work again, and reported to Liu Ke.
"My lord, I will send someone on duty at night to take care of them all." Guo Jiadao.
So, that night, Lu Bu hid in a ditch with three thousand men and horses.
As expected, Chen Liu¡¯s garrison left the city.
Lu Bu led his men to charge for a while and defeated the defenders, feeling proud and proud.
As soon as day broke, Dian Wei took hundreds of corpses of the defenders to the city to start a fight.
"My grandson in the city, your grandfather is here, do you dare to come out and fight?"
The defenders were restless.
Xia Houlian has asked for a fight many times. He is not Dian Wei's opponent. Is it possible that he can't fight in a group?
"If you don't change your impatient temper, you won't be able to come here again in the future."
Faced with Xiahoudun's warning, Xiahoulian quickly said "change it immediately".
If he cannot participate in the defensive rotation, he will lose his only military power.
When the scouts further narrowed the defender's field of vision, Liu Ke ordered Taishi Ci to set off with light troops.
"If nothing can be done and we cannot take Sishui Pass, retreat immediately."
"Follow your orders!"
After Taishi Ci received the order, he carefully selected five thousand soldiers and set off immediately.
Compared with the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, the movement of 5,000 people was indeed very concealed. In addition, Taishi Ci was careful along the way and did not encounter Cao Cao's army scouts, so the march went very smoothly.
"It's just that I can hide it from the scouts, but I can't hide it from the people."
The people of Chenliu have lived here for generations and have a great sense of belonging here.
When Cao Cao raised his army, he recruited troops in Chenliu. Therefore, the local people were very loyal to Cao Cao.
Villager Wang Er is one of them. His three brothers all joined the army, but they all turned into corpses later.
Therefore, he resented the Yangzhou Army very much.
After seeing the marching flag of the Yangzhou Army, he quickly hid himself. It was not until the army passed by that he suddenly remembered the notice in the village.
If you discover the Yangzhou Army, report it to the government immediately and you will be rewarded.
That night, Wang Er set out to go to Chenliu County to receive the reward.
There were dozens of people who had the same idea as Wang Er, but they were very unlucky. They encountered the Yangzhou Army's scouts and were temporarily imprisoned.
Wang Er was more clever and crawled and rolled to the bottom of the city. When the defenders found out, he immediately explained his purpose.
Xiahou Dun met with Wang Er overnight.
"What did you say? You saw a large group of people marching?"
"Yes, sir!"
"How many troops are there?"
"Many, many, countless."
"bigApproximately how much? "
"very many."
Xiahou Dun was helpless.
This is the price of "weak people", who don't even have basic judgment.
"Remember carefully, how many are there?!" Xia Houlian couldn't help but raise his voice.
When marching and fighting, if you don¡¯t know the number of enemies, how can you dare to attack easily.
There should be a judgment, right?
For example, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. Unfortunately, Wang Er¡¯s answers were always ¡°a lot¡± and ¡°a lot.¡±
"Sir, this is a reward from a villain" Wang Er kept rubbing his palms.
"You're a piece of trash, and you still want a reward?" Xia Houlian wanted to hang Wang Er up and beat him.
Wang Er was startled and knelt down directly.
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"
"Don't scare him."
When Sima Yi received the news, he also got up in the middle of the night and spoke to Wang Er as soon as he came.
"Let me ask you, where did the army go?"
"Heading towards Licun."
Sima Yi suddenly had a headache.
"Where is Li Cun?"
"Next door to Wangcun."
Clang!
Xia Houlian drew his sword, which made him angry.
"Can you tell the difference clearly between southeast, northwest and northwest? In which direction did you go?"
Wang Er was so frightened that he trembled.
"It seems to be north, no, it seems to be east"
To the east is Jiyin County. Where is the Yangzhou army going?
¡°It seems like it¡¯s Nan again.¡±
"I'll fuck you!" Xia Houlian ran away and put his sword on Wang Er's neck.
"Put down the sword!" Xiahou Dun scolded. He himself had a bad temper, but his brother was simply reckless!
Xia Houlian put down his weapon sarcastically, but he glared at Wang Er fiercely.
"Which way are they going?" Sima Yi asked amiably.
¡°The dirt road in front of the village.¡±
""
Sima Yi didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions. He was afraid that he would be angered to death, so he had to find some soldiers from the army who were registered as Chen Liu. After asking, he found out that Licun was to the west.
The Yangzhou army went west.
Where is the west of Chenliu County?
Sishui Pass!
Sima Yi¡¯s pupils shrank, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"General, I'm afraid the Yangzhou Army has made a surprise attack on Sishui Pass."
"What?"
Xia Houlian was shocked as if a thunderbolt fell.
Since Yuzhou gradually fell into the hands of Liu Ke, the only connection between Chenliu County and Luoyang was Sishui Pass.
This is an important supply line for the 300,000 Chen left-behind troops!
Once the Sishui Pass is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Liu has sufficient supplies. In terms of food, it is enough to feed the army for three months.
But what about morale?
The most important thing in fighting is morale. The reason why Yu Jin failed was because he failed to control the morale of his subordinates.
Without Sishui Pass, Chenliu will become an isolated city and gradually disintegrate.
"Wang Er, do you have anything else to say?" Sima Yi said.
"Sir, there is no more, it is just a reward from a villain"
Xia Houlian couldn't help but draw his sword again.
"A reward of a hundred gold!" Sima Yi said calmly.
Xia Houlian¡¯s eyes widened. Didn¡¯t the military advisor have a fever?
"Come here, bring me a hundred gold!" Xiahou Dun said loudly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
