Chapter 896 The Attacking Imperial Uncle

Yuzhou, Runan County, Runyin.

"Hahaha, brother, after our careful training, Yuzhou finally has 30,000 warriors who dare to fight. It's so happy!"

Zhang Fei, who had a leopard head and ringed eyes, laughed loudly, stood under the general stage, looked at the tens of thousands of Han soldiers lined up in formation, and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu both nodded happily. Generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both Xionghu generals. Naturally, they wanted to lead a large army to conquer the north and south and achieve great fame. However, Liu Bei spent the first half of his life wandering around and rarely gave them the opportunity to display their talents.

Now Liu Ye appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, and finally allowed them to recruit and train 30,000 elite soldiers here, who were very powerful in terms of quality and equipment.

"Brother, the general ordered me to set out to attack Yangzhou immediately after the training of soldiers and horses is completed. Is it time to set off now?" Guan Yu asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded, pulled out the double swords from his waist, and shouted loudly to the 30,000 Han soldiers in the audience, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Soldiers! The general has an order, ordering us to attack the traitor Cao Cao. You have been trained for a long time, now is the time to be determined to protect the country, kill!"

"kill!"

Although the 30,000 Han soldiers had not experienced battle yet, their morale was very high due to rigorous training. They immediately raised their arms and cheered like thunder.

"Determined to protect the country and fight against national traitors!"

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Thirty thousand troops lined up, like a long dragon, and began to march towards the east.

After passing Runan County, it is Jiujiang County, and the first city in front of Liu Bei's army is Shouchun.

Shouchun is a famous historical city. During the Warring States Period, the famous Qin general Bai Qi led the Qin army to conquer Yingdu, the capital of the Chu State, and the Chu State moved its capital to Shouchun. Later, Yuan Shu took hold in Shouchun, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, carried out large-scale construction projects and enslaved the people, causing great damage to Shouchun.

After Cao Cao took over Shouchun, he promoted the farming system on a large scale, and appointed Zhendong General Xiahou Dun and Tuntian Zhonglang General Zao Da to be jointly responsible for Shouchun's farming affairs.

"Report, urgent military information!"

A scout suddenly came flying over and shouted loudly.

The detective sent his horse galloping and shouted loudly, so pedestrians on the road gave way. According to Cao Jun's regulations, those who convey urgent military information must not be blocked, and even if someone is killed, they can be dealt with lightly.

As a result, the detective sentry rushed into Shouchun City almost unopposed.

"What? Liu Bei leads his army to attack?"

Xiahou Dun, who had not met Cao Xing, still had his eyes shining brightly, but his expression was not very good-looking.

"How many troops did Liu Bei bring?" he asked hurriedly.

"The enemy's troops are in continuous formations in front and behind, and should number more than 20,000 to 30,000 people."

"Well, go down and explore again."

After Xiahou Dun waved his hand to let the whistle go down, he couldn't help but frown.

"Damn Liu Bei, there has been no movement in Yuzhou before, but I didn't expect that tens of thousands of troops would be drilled out quietly. Now it's really difficult!"

Xiahou Dun shook his head and shouted outside: "General Han Hao and Shi Huan are here to discuss matters."

Not long after, two generals walked in, but their temperaments were completely different. One was brave and brave, while the other was deep and reserved. The brave and brave man was naturally the battle-hardened Shi Huan, and the other was. One person is Han Hao.

As for Zaodian, he was not good at military strategy, so Xiahou Dun did not call him.

"Yuan Si, Gong Liu, you came at the right time."

Xiahou Dun sighed and said, "I'll make a long story short. Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, is leading an army of tens of thousands to attack. The number should be more than 20,000 or 30,000. How should our army defend against the enemy?"

Shi Huan frowned and said: "General Yuan Rang, after I, Shouchun, release my farmland, I will be able to recruit 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, so I might as well fight against the enemy."

"No, the Prime Minister once said that Liu Bei is a hero in the world and should not be underestimated."

Han Hao shook his head: "I have a plan, maybe I can force the enemy back."

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh? Brother Yuan Si actually has such a clever plan. Please tell me quickly."

Han Hao said slowly: "To the west of Shouchun is the Huai River. The water in the Huai River is turbulent. Liu Bei must cross the Huai River to fight with our army. Our army can send more scouts to find out the direction of the enemy's crossing the river. , then he led his troops to station by the river. If the enemy doesn't cross the river, that's all. If they do, it'll be fine."

"Our army can take advantage of the situation and attack the enemy halfway across the river! We can even block the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. Once the enemy army crosses the river, we will dig ditches, submerge the enemy army, divide it into two parts, and then fight. The enemy army will be defeated." Han Hao was confident. Full of Tao.

Xiahou Dun and Shi Huan both nodded in agreement.

"Yuan Si said it very well, just do as you say!" Xiahou Dun said with a smile.

To the west of the Huai River, a mighty 30,000 Liu Bei army was marching on the official road, with Liu Bei in the middle, Guan Yu at the rear, and Zhang Fei leading the front army.

Zhang Fei rode a black black horse, holding a curved snake spear of eight feet in his hand, and walked on the road arrogantly. The army behind him was his confidence.

Although Zhang Fei is a good drinker, Liu Bei personally leads the army, so Zhang Fei naturally does not dare to drink and only serves as a vanguard.

"How far is it from Huai River?"

Zhang Fei asked the guide who was riding on a horse and hired from the local area with a lot of money.

The guide, a middle-aged man in his forties, pointed to the east: "There are still more than eighty miles. If everything goes well, we will arrive at noon tomorrow."

"Uh-huh?"

Zhang Fei suddenly spoke, his eyes widened, his piercing gaze glanced at the woods nearby, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt from the clear sky.

"Who is hiding inside? Get out of here!"

The forward Liu Beijun stopped immediately, and the crossbowmen and spearmen aimed their fronts at the woods on the side.

"Don't shoot arrows. I'm just a woodcutter in the mountains. I have no intention of spying on the army. I just passed by by chance. Don't kill me, general!"

There was a trembling sound in the woods, and a woodcutter, carrying firewood on his back, cautiously poked his head out.

"It turns out you are a woodcutter in the mountains. Come here, I will ask you a few questions. If you answer well, instead of being punished, you will be rewarded." Zhang Fei shouted.

"Yes, General."

The woodcutter had no choice but to agree, and then slowly walked over with his ax in his hand, his eyes wandering around.

"Let me ask you, who is under Cao's army and are you here to inquire about our army?" Zhang Fei said slowly.

"Huh? The general is joking. The villain is really a woodcutter in the mountains, not some Cao Jun." The woodcutter wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhang Fei sneered and shouted: "If you are not Cao Bing, why are there so many calluses on your fingers? Could it be that a woodcutter would draw his bow and shoot arrows every day like an archer?"
