Sun Jian and his men were walking and thinking. He had taken over this job, and he had to plan carefully. He had 18,000 elite soldiers, plus the people who transported grain and grass, there were about three people. He has about 10,000 troops, and he still has Huang Gai and others around him. If he plans well and takes advantage of the location, he can withstand 100,000 elite troops. If he can really wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, he can also take the opportunity to win over people and cultivate his own team!

"General" Cheng Pu suddenly caught up from behind and spoke to Sun Jian,

"Oh! Demou, what's the matter?" Sun Jian asked. He knew that Cheng Pu was brave and resourceful and could be regarded as the first commander in his army. Cheng Pu usually led the troops in formation. I feel completely confident about him.

"General, look at the terrain here, which is difficult and full of trees and jungles. If the enemy ambushes here and uses strong bows and crossbows to deal with us, then our losses will be huge!" Cheng Pu worriedly said

"Yes, there is indeed danger. How about we occupy this place first?" Sun Jian said. If he occupied the commanding heights first, he would have an advantage in fighting the Yellow Turban Army.

"I'm afraid it's too late now. I think the Yellow Turban Army must have taken advantage of the situation a long time ago. If they don't attack us now, it's because we don't have food and grass in our hands. If we attack now, it will be to scare the snake. Even if there is a real fight, then we will We will attack with all our strength without any worries. If we escort food and grass, it will be different and we will definitely be distracted! So now we need to make a choice!" Cheng Pudao

"What choice? Don't you go to escort the grain and grass and attack them directly? As you said, if we fight now, we will suffer a lot of losses!" Sun Jian felt helpless in his heart, and he still let Bo Cai take the lead. If he Just make an ambush on the road first!

"You can fake death! Lure Bo Cai down the mountain and then kill him!" Cheng Pu said. The only way to lure the Yellow Turban Army out and mingle with them was to render their crossbowmen ineffective, otherwise they would only be used as living targets!

"Fake death? How to cheat death?" Sun Jian was very interested. When he lost the opportunity, any strategy could help him preserve his strength!

"Haha, I thought that Bocai would shoot a few of us with crossbows first. Why don't we give the armor to the straw men and pretend to be dead when they are hit by arrows? Then we take the lead in pretending to be chaotic. I think Bocai will definitely rush down. The only worry for those who grab food is that if Bo Cai is determined to set fire to the food, it will be in trouble!" Cheng Pu said

"Don't worry about it. They will pretend to die in a while. Also, these soldiers are always with them. Let Han Dang and Huang Gai lead the rear army to the mountain quietly for a while. You and I will command the central army and let Zu Mao escorts the grain and fodder. If there is a rain of arrows in a while, let the Han army block it as much as possible, and we will be responsible for finishing it!" Sun Jian ordered, watching Cheng Pu go to deliver the order, then looking at the terrain, he smiled bitterly, this war is really really Every second counts!

"Boshuai, Sun Jian is here, but there are still many people who have not arrived. They are stationed halfway. I'm afraid there is some trick!" said the soldier. After all, this is a bet, so there can't be any mistakes.

"Well, I get it. I'll just shoot arrows later and wait until Sun Jian's army is in chaos. Then we can act on our own initiative. Without my order, no one is allowed to go and grab food!" Bo Cai was not so nervous. After all, he had backup options. , others don’t know, but he knows that the army that is burning, killing and looting everywhere is Bu Ji’s remnant army. He has contacted him and provided him with 5,000 elite troops. Now he is ambushing behind Sun Jian. When Sun Jian leaves, Later, the road was sealed with stones. As long as he fired thousands of arrows, he was not afraid that Sun Jian would not die!

Both parties were proceeding step by step according to their plans, but they didn't know that behind them, there were pairs of eyes staring at them. They saw about 8,000 people, all of them extremely strong and strong, with colorful medicines smeared on their faces. Mud is used to drive away mosquitoes. They hold long bows in their hands and carry machetes on their backs, lurking there quietly. "Mr. Xu, when are we going to take action?" Zhang He asked. He had been holding back for so many days and had never had a chance to fight. When he finally saw this opportunity, he really wanted to rush out and kill him.

"General Zhang, don't be in a hurry. Let's wait and see the show first. When we come on stage, remember, send people to look around and don't let anyone find us. We will go out to fight soon, whether it is the Han Army or the Yellow Turban Army. Anyone who blocks the road will be killed without mercy! After the killing is completed, the Yingchuan battle is probably almost over, we will rush back to Changshan immediately!" At the end of the sentence, Xu Shu's murderous intention could be felt by Zhang He, and Zhang He still didn't understand. , how could Xu Shu, a scholar, have such murderous intent? Looking at Xu Shu, who is now holding a Han sword, with a murderous intent on his face, I can't help but shudder in my heart, this intellectual is so ruthless!

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will listen to your orders later!" Zhang He said quickly, fearing that there was something wrong with this boy, so he gave him a sword. He had sparred with him, and if it was just about swordsmanship. Xu Shu ranked third in Changshan. I don't know who is better between Cheng Feng and Zhao Yun, but Xu Shu's third place is guaranteed.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Bu had thrown all the rocks and wood on the road, blocking the road. Then he quietly followed with five thousand elites and planned to outflank them. Sun Jian attacks from behind! As long as the Han army is defeated, Yingchuan will be the world of the Yellow Turban Army. I feel excited just thinking about it. These days, I lead the team to burn, kill and loot. My life is so nourishing. I drink wine every day and eat all kinds of delicious food. The beauty is enjoying it, and her life is better than when she was in Dongjun before. I really don’t want to give up this damn life. It would be great if I could conquer Luoyang. I heard that His Majesty the Ling Emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem. It would be nice to steal a few concubines for fun. I heard that the current Queen He is pretty good. Thinking of this, Bu already couldn't bear the restlessness, and suddenly wanted to kill Sun Jian and his group!

"General, should we be careful? After all, pursuing too quickly will attract Sun Jian's attention, and it will be bad to disrupt Commander Bo's plan!" Bo Cai's soldiers said to Bu Ji, although they called him General, But I absolutely despise him in my heart. Based on Bu's evil deeds in Yingchuan, if I hadn't needed his help this time, I would have had to deal with him!

"Well, that makes sense. Everyone, please be careful and wait and see the situation!" Although Bu Ji is incompetent, he is not ignorant. In fact, even the most ignorant person will become very shrewd after fleeing all the way and looting for more than half a month. Bu had already scouted along the road, and soon got in touch with Bo Cai, and told him about Sun Jian's division of troops, asking him to make preparations in advance. Then he set up more flags to deceive the troops, and used more archers to fight. I made up my mind to fight on the mountain, even if it broke the sky, I would not go down.

The terrain was steep, with many mountains and thick trees. The further Sun Jian walked, the more uneasy he felt. Who chose this route? By choosing this route, wasn't it obvious that he was trying to trick people? If he knew it was so dangerous, he wouldn't have come. Being used as bait, it seems that Cheng Pu's method has to be used. But if this group of people doesn't come down, wouldn't he just have to wait for death? Just when Sun Jian was thinking about it, the grain transport team could be vaguely seen in front, "Brothers, work harder and get over here quickly. After picking up the grain team, follow my orders before moving again!" Sun Jian hesitated for a while. There is no good way, so I have to make arrangements like this first. The wind was strong in the valley, and whimpers could be heard from time to time, as if many beasts were lurking, which made people feel panicked.

"Thank you, General Sun, for coming to meet us!" The person escorting the grain and fodder was very happy to see Sun Jian. After all, this mission was important, and now it was finally over.

"You are so polite, young general. Do you dare to ask the young general's name?" Sun Jian saw that this young general had bright eyes, was riding a Dawan horse, and was holding a spear in his hand. Although he was not old, he had a heroic spirit. Can't help but ask

"Your Majesty, Feng Fang, was originally the Right Colonel of Your Majesty's Xiyuan Army. It was only because the Right Colonel Chun Yuqiong defected to Yuan Shao that I was promoted to the Right Colonel. This time, I was specially escorted by the General to transport grain and grass to the front line, and he obeyed his orders!" The young general said that since the last time eight of his own were easily defeated by Cheng Feng, he no longer dared to be arrogant. Now, in addition to the people of Shi Changshi, the eight captains of Xiyuan are also people of He Jin. Only he and Chunyu Qiong have not yet Choosing the backstage, Chunyu Qiong took advantage of the opportunity to go home to mourn and actually joined Yuan Shao's rebel army. He was considered to be on the general's side. If he didn't get some military glory, he might not be able to return to Luoyang!

"Okay, General Feng, if that's the case, then ask the general to send food and grass, and I'll escort him. However, the terrain here is dangerous, so please be careful, general!" Sun Jian said with a smile.

"General, don't worry, our journey is not so peaceful. There are shields in this big car, specially designed to deal with this kind of terrain!" Feng Fang said with a smile.

"Okay, in that case, let's bury the pot and make food here first, and then leave after we are full!" Sun Jian suddenly said, which made Feng Fang a little puzzled. Others wanted to transport the food and grass back quickly, but Sun Jian Why is it different from others? Sun Jian saw Feng Fang's doubts and explained with a smile, "Bocai's army is ambushing ahead, but the specific location has not been discovered yet. We have 20,000 troops. I don't think Bocai will bring thousands of people out to rob him." We need more food, so we need time to understand the situation and recharge our batteries.”

"Congratulations, General! I'm willing to lead a team to lure Bo Cai to send troops later to help the General!" Feng Fang said,

"Okay! But the general must be careful. After all, the invisible enemy is the most dangerous!" Sun Jian was afraid that something would happen to Feng Fang, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

At this time in Jizhou, Zhang Liao was still training his soldiers in full swing, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were still reinforcing the city walls in various places, intending to be a trapped beast. Lu Zhi was defeated last time, and now he is trying his best to gather the remaining troops from Youzhou. Gongsun Zan borrowed a lot of war horses, and took advantage of this time to let Liu Bei form a cavalry! To say that the happiest person is Yuan Shao. After the last battle, Yuan Shao completely surrendered to the Yuan family. With Zhang Bao's help, he got rid of the Yuan family members in his own power and used the remaining elite soldiers. He gathered strong generals and recruited many elite soldiers from four continents. What made him most happy was that Ju Yi trained eight hundred Euphorbia soldiers. Although the number was not large, they were all excellent men and horses, and each of them carried five weapons on his back. Just a small halberd and two large halberds. If Cheng Feng saw it, he would definitely say that this is a weakened version of Dian Wei. These 800 people once went to Zhang Yan to suppress bandits. Ju Yi relied on this elite army to defeat Zhang Yan's 100,000 black armored army, which made Ju Yi and Yuan Shao famous in Jizhou. After Cheng Feng knew the news, he didn't say anything. He just took a sip of wine and walked out with the drum and hammer. From then on, Changshan's soldiers never had peace. Everyone cursed Ju Yi in their hearts. Why bother irritating Cheng Feng? Listen to Cheng Feng's slogan "As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death." Is this really what humans do? However, the effect is also obvious. The quality and ability of this group of soldiers are also improving rapidly. Even Cheng Feng did not expect that he would eventually train a hundred thousand killing gods!

"General Sun, now that the soldiers have rested, when should we set off?" Feng Fang was a little impatient. After all, this was his first time on the battlefield with real swords and guns. If he could kill Bo Cai, then It's a great achievement. After I go back, I might even be able to become General Zuo or something like that! Thinking of this, Feng Fang's heart felt hot.

Sun Jian saw that it was already afternoon. It was the time when the soldiers were sleepy. If he acted at this time, there might be unexpected results. "Okay! In that case, let's set off with the army. General Feng must be careful!" Sun Jian said.

As Sun Jian and Feng Fang advanced, there was an inexplicable tense atmosphere in the valley. Sun Jian secretly watched both sides. Although he knew that Bo Cai was ambushing here, he still took risks because he had confidence in himself and also He has confidence in his soldiers and believes that he can kill Bocai this time. Even if he uses 20,000 people to replace Bocai's men, he will still make a lot of money.

"Boshuai, Sun Jian is here!" Bocai's soldiers said in the valley. Bocai looked up and saw that Sun Jiao was indeed coming with his troops. "Is the intersection ahead blocked?" Bocai asked.

"It's blocked. Bu has blocked it with rocks and wood, and his five thousand elite soldiers are also there. It's just that Sun Jian has divided his troops into ten thousand to respond in front."

"Well, in this way, it is impossible for Sun Jian's army to pass through together. When his leading troops pass by and the grain truck passes halfway, then block the intersection behind me. I will make his entire army annihilated!" Bo Cai said fiercely. After all, He was close to winning several times, but it was Sun Jian who came to cause trouble, causing him to fail many times!

"Yes, Bo Shuai!"

Sun Jian became more and more hairy as he walked away. He must have been too calm this time. Why hasn't there been any movement? Didn't he come out to rob food? If so, then Zhu Jun and Huangfu Chong would be in trouble, but There is no other good way now but to urge the team to act quickly! At the same time, be careful. Although Feng Fang said he was prepared, he is still a new recruit. What experience can he have? It will be good if he doesn't wet his pants for a while. As for the big shield, I haven't seen it anyway, so I don't know. Was it lost halfway? Just when Sun Jian was on his way out, he heard a rumbling sound from behind, followed by a crash. Sun Jian was shocked, here he comes, haha, it seems that he can become famous!

When Bocai saw that the road had been sealed, he no longer concealed it and beat the drum directly. The Yellow Turban Army rushed out, nocked arrows one after another, and aimed at those general-looking people to kill. This was Bocai's beheading plan. As long as Without the commander, we are just a bunch of naked lambs, and we can eat whatever we want!

"Ah!" Sun Jian saw that his armor was full of arrows, and shouted in coordination, and then watched the scarecrow fall off the horse. The Han army panicked, and many people were killed by arrows. The Yellow Turban Army came directly There was a rain of arrows and stones. Feng Fang reacted quickly. When he heard the sound, he shouted "Tree shield, meet the enemy!" The troops transporting the grain skillfully pulled out the large shield from under the car, clanging loudly. A shield mountain was set up, and as the carriage moved slowly, Bocai's bows and arrows, except for occasionally injuring a few grain transport soldiers, returned in vain. As for Sun Jian's soldiers, it was a bit miserable, although Most of them were wearing wooden armor, but they couldn't bear the impact of stones. Soon they were wailing all over the field. As more and more stones were thrown, the road became difficult to walk. Feng Fang commanded the shield soldiers and sent people to clear them. The road didn't delay things much. He only looked at Bo Cai and said, "Sir, I'm just telling you that the guy who transported grain from Luoyang to this place didn't wait twice!"

"Boshuai, look, Sun Jian is dead!" Following the gesture, Bocai saw that Sun Jian's body was covered with arrows and he fell off his horse. The people around him quickly surrounded him, and the crowd was so tight that they Seeing Cheng Pu quickly put the armor on a man, and then directed the soldiers to continue to fight back, firing arrows at the mountain. With sharp eyes, Bo Cai realized that the man in armor was not Sun Jian. He smiled and said, "Cheng Pu still has a way. He knows how to find a dummy to pretend to be Sun Jian. Look who that person is."

The personal soldiers took a look and saw that the person wearing Sun Jian's armor just looked a bit like Sun Jian, but a closer look revealed that it was the personal guard general Zu Mao beside Sun Jian. It seemed that Sun Jian was indeed finished. "Shout to me, Sun Jian is dead!" Bo Cai roared, and people all over the mountains and plains were shouting, making the Han soldiers panic and didn't know what to do.

Feng Fang was startled and quickly looked back, only to find that Sun Jian was indeed gone. The man covered in armor was his personal guard. He could still see the blood of the armor in the secret place. He couldn't help but feel shocked and hurriedly shouted. Shouting, "Keep your distance, advance step by step, and ask General Sun to advance!" The people around him shouted together, and the two voices echoed throughout the valley. Those who didn't know thought they were singing duets in folk songs.

"Mr. Xu, what's going on?" Zhang He was confused by this magical operation. He really didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that both sides were relying on their voices to win?

"Haha, it seems that Sun Jian lured the enemy, was hit by an arrow, and then faked his death. Both sides were not sure what to do next, so they had to stay in a stalemate like this!" Xu Shu said with a smile.

"How did you know, sir?" Zhang He really couldn't understand why this intellectual was so smart. He didn't even understand anything. Now that he heard what he said, he realized that this seemed to be the case.

"Then sir, should we continue to wait?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's take a look first and then talk. If the enemy can't stand me, I won't move. If it doesn't work, just add fire to them!" Xu Shu suddenly sneered, which made Zhang He shiver in his heart and felt that it was cold today.
