Jiujiang County, Hefei County.
Inside the city, there is a military camp.
The Chinese military tent.
Taishi Ci and Xu Shu were sitting opposite each other, and they were discussing something.
Taishi Ci said directly: "Commander Xu, according to the news sent back by Xu Shaogang, he completed the task entrusted by the lord and persuaded Yuan Shu to attack Hefei. Yuan Shu has 20,000 troops."
"Among them, Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui led 3,000 people as the front army. Yuan Shu himself led 15,000 people as the center army, leaving 2,000 rear troops responsible for escorting grain, grass and equipment."
"Yuan Shu is here, I don't want to defend."
Taishi Ci's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "Can we think of a way to take the initiative and annihilate the enemy?"
Xu Shu looked calm and said: "General Taishi's plan coincides with mine. We have five thousand elites. The key is that in addition to the five thousand elites, you also have 300 elite cavalry under your command, right?"
Taishi Ci was quite proud and said confidently: "The three hundred cavalry under my command are indeed elite. Some of the horses were given to the lord by the Mi family. Some of the horses were confiscated after defeating Yuan Shu."
"For the three hundred cavalry, I specially found people who are good at raising horses and raised all the horses to be fat and thick. The three hundred cavalry under my command are all the best of the best, selected from five thousand people. Elite, capable of traveling long distances to fight."
There was deep pride in his words.
The Three Hundred Jingqi were a powerful team trained by Tai Shici during his stay in Hefei.
This is Taishi Ci's greatest reliance.
Xu Shu nodded and said: "In that case, let's fight a surprise attack and defeat Yuan Shu in one go."
Taishi Ci said: "Please give me some advice from your military advisor."
Xu Shu replied: "The news from Xu Shao said that Qiao Rui is greedy, very greedy for money, and greedy for life and fear of death. Therefore, we first raided Qiao Rui, defeated him, and then attacked Yuan Shu, defeating him in one go. My The plan is like this..."
Xu Shu elaborated on the detailed plan.
After hearing this, Taishi Ci's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he looked at Xu Shu, his eyes became more and more convinced, and he said: "Commander Xu's plan includes luring the enemy, fierce attack, public opinion offensive, and various tactical coordination. I admire you. "
Xu Shu said: "The specifics will depend on the final execution. If Qiao Rui's news is not true, or he does not take the bait, it will be difficult to succeed."
Taishi Ci confidently said: "I also know some information about Qiao Rui. He is indeed as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death. Moreover, Yuan Shu is greedy. How can the people who follow Yuan Shu not be greedy? I believe Xu Shao's information. "
The two discussed it and arranged it as quickly as possible.
Hefei County is operating at high speed.
The four gates of the county seat are closed, no entry or exit is allowed, and news is blocked to prevent the situation in the county seat from being leaked.
After martial law was imposed in Hefei, Taishi Ci and Xu Shu quietly left the county with their army and disappeared among the mountains and rivers.
Northwest of the county.
This is a hilly area.
Hefei has many hills in the northwest, is close to the Dabie Mountains in the southwest, and is a plain area in the southeast. It is the hills and hills in the northwest region that are more suitable for horse racing. The area is vast and there are fewer water veins, unlike the plains where there are crisscrossing water veins.
This location is about fifty miles away from Hefei County.
On the wide official road, a team of three thousand people was advancing slowly.
The person leading the troops was Qiao Rui.
He led 3,000 men as the front army, and Yuan Shu led 15,000 men as the center army, just behind him.
Once Qiao Rui encounters a problem, Yuan Shu can respond quickly.
Qiao Rui hurried on a little lazily, without much fighting spirit. For Qiao Rui, he would rather enjoy life in Shouchun than fight. But Zhang Xun died, Ji Ling also died, and Sun Ce left again, so he became the former army general.
Qiao Rui was riding on his horse, thinking about the several houses he had just acquired in Shouchun, which had not yet been sold. He was away on an expedition and didn't know if the housekeeper would get a good price.
Qiao Rui's idea is to make more money.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sentinel ran over.
The sentry came to Qiao Rui and reported: "General Qiao, a team was found on the official road ahead. This team was carrying a banner with the word 'Gu', and there were more than 60 people as guards, protecting 18 vehicles. The carriage is on its way."
"Our people took a closer look and found that the wheels had left deep marks on the ground, and there were scattered copper coins on the road. On these carriages, there were all large boxes, which might contain money.'
"The direction they were on their way was not towards Hefei County. They separated at the fork in front and headed south, towards the Shishui Ferry Pier in the south of Hefei."
After hearing this, Qiao Rui's eyes rolled.
His eyes became brighter and brighter.
Qiao Rui patted the horse's back and said with a smile: "On the border of Yangzhou, who else can raise the banner with the word 'Gu' besides the Gu family of Wu County? The Gu family has a Feixian wine business in Shouchun, and the business is Excellent.”
"What they are transporting is naturally money, and they have to board the ship from the ferry in the south."
"Hey, this is my chance."
"Give me the order to hurry up and get these supplies from the Gu family. Then, go to Hefei County."
"Go full speed ahead."
Qiao Rui gave the order.
As the order was issued, Qiao Rui led 3,000 people and accelerated on the road. This group of people kept rushing forward, and in less than half an hour, they approached the team escorting the money of the Gu family, and carriages loaded with wooden boxes were moving forward.
When Qiao Rui saw the team marching on the official road ahead, he grinned and shouted: "Kill!"
He galloped to the front.
Three thousand soldiers followed and ran quickly.
In the Gu family's team, the guards saw someone chasing them and shouted loudly: "There is an enemy attack, retreat quickly and speed up."
The Gu family's motorcade accelerated, and the grooms driving the horses waved their whips and urged the horses on their way.
Wheels! Wheels! !
The wheels turned and the carriage moved quickly.
Click!
Suddenly, a carriage wheel broke.
The carriage tilted, and a large box on the carriage suddenly fell down. The box fell open, and the copper coins spilled out and onto the ground. While the carriage was damaged, another carriage ahead ran too fast, causing three large boxes to fall to the ground.
Countless copper coins were scattered on the ground.
This scene made the soldiers in Qiaorui instantly blush. Countless people rushed forward with screams, scrambling for the copper coins scattered on the ground.
When the guards of the Gu family saw Qiao Rui's people chasing after them, they simply threw away the carriages and everyone fled as fast as they could.
Qiao Rui paid no attention to the escaped "Lu family" people, reined in his horse, and quickly asked someone to carry the large box of money. However, the soldiers under his command grabbed the money scattered on the ground, and the team was completely in chaos and lost its formation.
Qiao Rui didn't go either, and was focused on letting the soldiers carry the money for the boxes.
Everyone is making money.
Boom! !
Suddenly, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the official road ahead.
Horse hooves trampled and smoke flew everywhere.
A cavalry of three hundred men swept in like a sudden storm and appeared on the official road.
Taishi Ci's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He held a big gun in his hand and charged forward on horseback, shouting: "Yangzhou Taishi Ci is here, kill!"
Three hundred cavalry, closely following Tai Shici, rushed towards the army on the bridge like a whirlwind.
