Ziwu Valley is not too far from Lantian. If Liu Bang and others follow Fan Kuai's idea and lead an army to attack Ziwu Valley, there is a high probability that they will attract Dong Zhuo's troops who are responsible for guarding Lantian and Qingni Pass!
"A forceful attack is not advisable. If we want to take Ziwu Valley, we must first lure out all the enemy troops entrenched in the valley."
Before Chen Ping finished speaking, he saw a scout rushing to Liu Bang's side. He dismounted from his horse and bowed to salute in one go. He also saw that the scout told everyone present the specific information they had just found out in Ziwu Valley.
A cottage was built in the middle of the mountain road in Ziwu Valley. The fence of the cottage was covered with flags swaying in the wind. Each flag was embroidered with the bright red word "Hu" with a gold edge. According to the information we learned, Ziwu General Gu is Dong Zhuo's beloved general Hu Feng who he brought from Xiliang!
"Hu Feng? But that Xiliang Li Jue's general? This officer is just a reckless man. You don't need to worry too much. Ping has his own clever plan to capture Ziwu Valley."
Why did Chen Ping claim to have a clever plan to capture the Ziwu Valley that was easy to defend but difficult to attack when he mentioned Hu Feng? There was no other reason. Hu Feng was a subordinate of Li Jue, the powerful general of Xiliang. He was appointed as a vanguard officer in the battle against the Qiang. Dong Zhuo and Li Jue thought that he would lead the army to reap the victory, but it was surprising. But it was this official who was angered by the Qiang people's thwarted tactics, which ultimately led to the defeat in the battle against the Qiang.
If Dong Ping, Dong Fei, and Li Jue had not led their troops to support them in time, Hu Feng would have died on the battlefield long ago!
"If you want to capture Ziwu Valley, you only need to have the three generals Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li lead more than a thousand people dressed as bandits to call for battle, and then you can trick Hu Feng into leading his army to leave the stronghold.
After Hu Feng leaves the stronghold, my lord, you and General Fan Kuai can lead the army to station in Ziwu Valley, surround Hu Feng and the others, and completely eliminate the enemy in the mountain road! "
Military advisor Chen Ping came from his heart and immediately offered advice to Liu Bang. As soon as this plan came out, Liu Bang made a decisive decision and ordered Fan Kuai as the chief general, Peng Yue, Lei Tong, and Leng Bao as deputy generals. He led more than 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, waiting for Hu Feng to be lured out of the stronghold, and then made another move. Take Ziwu Valley.
"Where is General Hu Li? You take Lu Li, Yang Li, Peng Yue, Lu Wan, Guan Ying and 1,500 soldiers, dress up like bandits, and go to Ziwu Valley to call for battle. You must trick Hu Feng out."
Fan Kuai bowed to receive the order, and then took the generals behind him to count the soldiers. After counting more than a thousand soldiers, he quickly rushed towards the Ziwu Valley!
…
"General Hu Feng, there is a group of bandits outside the stronghold who are calling for battle. Should we send troops to attack them?"
Hu Feng couldn't help but frown when he heard the information reported by the soldiers. The roads in Ziwu Valley were rugged, narrow and deserted. How could a group of bandits suddenly appear and call for battle? Could it be that they moved here from nearby counties and treated Ziwu Valley Village as a soft persimmon in order to establish their authority?
It has to be said that Hu Feng was really having a lot of drama in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Without waiting for Hu Li and the others to yell and scold at the base of the stronghold, he took the initiative to leave the stronghold with three thousand soldiers and march towards Hu Li. Kill in the direction where the powerful army is.
Hu Feng's move played right into Hu Li's plan!
"Retreat, retreat..."
Then Hu Li, who was dressed in coarse cloth and black clothes and dressed as a bandit, shouted loudly, and then led the army in a pretense of chaos, discarding the baggage and flags and retreating towards Shenling.
Without thinking too much, Hu Feng led his three thousand soldiers to pursue Hu Li and the others. Little did he know that the Ziwu Valley Village behind him was in danger. After Hu Feng led his army to chase them for more than ten miles, the Ziwu Valley Village was successfully captured by Liu Bang and his companions!
After Liu Bang led his army to enter Ziwu Valley Village, he immediately sent Fan Kuai and five thousand elite soldiers to intercept and surround Hu Feng.
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Ding! The effect of the Tiger Power Immortal's skill ""Sword God"" is activated. When using sword weapons, the force value is increased by 4 points. It is detected that its basic force value is 105, the tiger's decapitated black iron sword +1, the spotted ringworm cloud horse +1, the weapon skill is activated, and the force value is increased to 109 (111)."
Just as Liu Bang in Ziwu Valley Village was arranging tasks for Fan Kuai and others, Hu Li and others in Shenling Mountain Road began to attack Hu
Feng's army counterattacked, and with the activation of Huli's weapon skills, one can imagine Hu Feng's end...
"Ding! Hu Feng's skill "Sword General" is activated. When using sword weapons, the force value increases by 2 points. It was detected that its basic force value was 87, the weapon skill was activated, and the force value was increased to 89."
Just by comparing the force values after the skills are activated, you can see the gap between Hu Li and Hu Feng. On the battlefield, Hu Feng, whose momentum was rising steadily, waved the sword in his hand and slashed towards Hu Li's neck while shouting!
"How dare you try your best to master a small skill?"
A ruthless light flashed in Hu Li's eyes. He sneered and raised his eyes to stare at Hu Feng. The tiger-headed black iron knife he held tightly in his hand slowly raised it and placed it across his chest, waiting for an opportunity to make a move!
Hu Feng's horse galloped out. Just when he was about to ride his horse to Huli with full confidence, he suddenly trembled all over, and a feeling of fear came into his heart.
"what happened?"
Hu Feng, who looked astonished, quickly calmed down his mind. When he adjusted his body shape, he realized that Hu Li in front of him was nowhere to be seen!
"What's going on, where are the people?"
"Don't look, I'm behind you."
Hu Li's light words seemed to have magic power, instantly making Hu Feng feel like he was entering an ice cave, and the chill of imminent death spread all over Hu Feng's body.
"Qiang!"
A silver light suddenly appeared, a big head flew up, and then scarlet blood spurted out from the neck of the headless corpse. Hu Feng, the guard of Ziwu Valley Village, died!
After Hu Li easily dealt with Hu Feng, he looked around at the frightened Xiliang soldiers on the battlefield with cold eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Kill them all without leaving any one behind."
The one-sided massacre began immediately. More than three thousand Xiliang soldiers tried to resist, but they were attacked by the generals of Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li, and were eventually slaughtered!
The soldiers of Xiliang were slaughtered, and Huli and the others' mission was successfully completed. Then they saw Huli leading the army to settle in Ziwu Valley to join Liu Bang and the others.
"Next is Lantian and Qingni Pass. If nothing else happens, these two places will be heavily guarded. We should be careful!"
In order to prevent accidents, military advisor Chen Ping sent scouts to Qingni Pass to gather information. As for Lantian, Liu Bang sent Xu Dog and Youji from the Shadow Secret Guards to investigate!
The Shu army stayed in Ziwu Valley Village for three days. After the scouts and the secret guards returned, the military advisor Chen Ping, who had received the specific information, frowned and urgently summoned all the generals to go to the lord Liu Bang's big tent to discuss matters.
