The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 66

After some discussion, Liu Bei finally decided to divide his troops into three groups.

On the first route, Zhang Fei led 3000 men, with Xun Chen as the military adviser and Lin Xi as the deputy general, to attack the southbound Tang and Shangquyang counties on the west road.

On the second route, Guan Yu led [-] elite soldiers, Tian Feng served as the military adviser, and went straight to Lu Nu, the governor of Zhongshan, to open up the northward passage.

The third person, Zhao Yun commanded an army of [-] soldiers, most of whom were soldiers, and the supervisor Lin Chao was the military division, and the goal was Anxi County, a hundred miles east of Lunu.

And Liu Bei led the central army by himself, and followed behind with Jian Yong and his supplies.

In fact, Liu Bei also advised Lin Chao not to put himself in danger, but Lin Chao had his own plan, so he resolutely followed Zhao Yun.

This is the first time Liu Bei has truly divided his troops. The three troops are separated by hundreds of miles, and they can only fight on their own.

According to the plan, if all goes well, the three parties can join forces at Wangdu City, and then continue northward to recover the entire Zhongshan in one fell swoop.

The plan is always good, but whether the reality will be as good as it is, that is the question...

After Lin Chao and Zhao Yun led the army to advance for two days, they came to the edge of Hengshui outside Anxi City.As long as you cross the Hengshui, Anxi City is only a few miles away.

It was getting late, and for the sake of safety, Zhao Yun ordered to set up camp and wait until dawn tomorrow before crossing the river.

Anyway, Anxi is a small county, and there are very few troops in the city, so they are not afraid of the enemy's army going out of the city to attack at night.

It was the beginning of August at this time, approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this place is located in the northern part of Jizhou, so the night is already cool.

Lin Chao ordered Dianwei to take people to find some fallen leaves and dead branches, and then lit a bonfire in the camp to keep warm.

"Supervisor."

Over there, Zhao Yun had just finished his tour of the camp, walked over, cupped his hands at Lin Chao, and sat aside.

He was cautious by nature, and these days, after the soldiers fell asleep, he would insist on patrolling the camp before falling asleep.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming, Lin Chao smiled, and handed over half a roasted hare.

It’s good to have enough army rations, there’s no fat or water at all, let alone taste.

Lin Chao always refused to treat himself badly in terms of eating and drinking, so he asked Dian Wei to hunt some wild game, roasted a few of them himself, and sprinkled them with homemade ingredients.

Speaking of ingredients, they are nothing more than ground pepper or something like that.

Even so, when it was almost cooked, the aroma came out, making Dian Wei salivate so much.

Seeing this, Lin Chao laughed dumbfounded, handed him the wild game, and went to roast the second one.

This side has just been baked, and Zhao Yun is here again.

Lin Chao looked at the hare in his hand, then at Zhao Yun, and suddenly remembered that this guy and Lin Xi would soon become brother-in-law, so he reluctantly parted with each other and tore half of it for him.

"Why does Zilong have to work so hard?"

Lin Chao laughed.

"At the beginning of Yun's entry into the lord's command, he was in charge of the army alone. He was worried in his heart, lest some omissions would cause a big mistake and damage the lord's knowledge of people. Therefore, he dare not be careless."

Zhao Yun is humble and polite. Although he has just joined, he is very popular in Liu Bei's camp.

Even Tian Feng, the iron-headed boy, praised him greatly.

Just imagine, who doesn't like a person who doesn't strive for merit, doesn't lie, and is reliable in his work.

Just like now, even though he is the chief general of the first army, he is still conscientious, sincere and respectful, without the slightest complacency, which greatly admires Lin Chao.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he sniffed half of the wild game in his hand, couldn't help but move his index finger, and started to gobble it up. Compared to Dianwei, it didn't look much better.

On Lin Chao's side, he ate the roasted rabbit methodically, and said slowly, "Does Zilong have a plan in mind for this attack on Anxi?"

"Yunsheng is dull, so I ask the supervisor to enlighten me."

Zhao Yun immediately cupped his hands.

Ever since he saw Tian Feng's authentic battle, Zhao Yun felt in awe of him.

Mr. Tian, ​​who is the chief bookkeeper, is already so capable, but what kind of talent must Mr. Lin, the supervisor who is most relied on by the lord, be!
"Zilong, why be polite, you and Zixu will soon become brother-in-law, and you don't need to be so restrained. I want to hear your opinion."

Lin Chao took the opportunity to win over Zhao Yun.

Facing Lin Chao's sincere gaze, Zhao Yun said, "Yun has a foolish opinion, so please correct me."

"Zilong, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

"Before Zhang Chun's bandit army went north to Youzhou, they hoarded tens of thousands of soldiers in Hanchang. This proves that there are not many defensive forces in the other counties. Small counties like Anxi have dilapidated walls and are difficult to defend against powerful enemies. There won't be many soldiers left behind."

Zhao Yun talked eloquently: "At this moment, Thief Zhang has already fled to Youzhou, and Hanchang has been captured by the lord. The morale in Anxi City must be low. If someone plans to attack the city and at the same time recruit the enemy troops in the city, he will be able to capture him in one fell swoop. Down."

After hearing Zhao Yun's analysis, Lin Chao nodded.

There is nothing brilliant about this strategy, but it is the safest method.

"Okay, this plan is very safe, Zilong just let it go."

Seeing that his idea was recognized by Lin Chao, Zhao Yun was also very happy.

In addition, Lin Chao's words meant to win over, after the two had a chat, the relationship quickly heated up.

It didn't matter this chat, time passed quickly, and when it was close to midnight, the two of them came to their senses.

Lin Chaogang wanted to go back to sleep,

But the sudden change!
There was a noisy sound outside the camp, followed by a burst of flames, accompanied by the sound of fighting.

"No, the enemy attacked at night!"

Zhao Yun exclaimed, his expression changed suddenly, before he even had time to say a word, he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and rushed out.

"Jun Ming, protect the Supervising Army!"

After rushing two steps, Zhao Yun's voice came, but he didn't look back, and went straight to the outside of the camp.

Night raid?

why?
With Dian Wei at his side, Lin Chao didn't panic, but he couldn't figure it out.

In Anxi City, there are at most a thousand people defending the army, and there is a constant river between them. How can the enemy army have the courage to attack and rob the camp at night?

Why does he think he can successfully hijack the camp!
Lin Chao almost laughed out of breath!

"Jun Ming, order someone to blow the horn and light the torches in the army, and don't let the soldiers cause chaos. Bring some people forward to support Zilong." Lin Chao ordered.

But Dian Wei was unmoved, and just ordered his soldiers to blow the horn and light the torches, while he still stood quietly behind Lin Chao.

"What are you doing, just go!"

Lin Chao shouted again, but Dian Wei still didn't move.

"Supervisor, my lord has an order. Once the battle starts, my subordinates must ensure your safety and not stray far away. Also, General Zhao also ordered his subordinates to protect you just now."

"stubborn!"

Lin Chao reprimanded: "Once the enemy breaks into the camp, our soldiers will be defeated before they have time to react!"

Dian Wei clasped his fists together, and said in a low voice, "Then my subordinate will protect you to escape from the siege and return to the lord."

"This..." Lin Chao was speechless and annoyed, "Since you don't want to help Zilong, then go in person!"

After saying that, Lin Chao strode forward, he couldn't believe that Dian Wei didn't follow to help.

Although this idea was good, the result was not very good, because before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by Dian Wei, unable to move any more.

"Form formation, protect the supervisor!"

Dian Wei gave a loud shout, and dozens of fully armed soldiers poured out from behind, holding up shields to protect Lin Chao in the middle, and retreated slowly towards the rear.

"Dian Junming, do you want to disrespect a certain order!"

In the center of the shield formation, Lin Chao was carried on Dian Wei's shoulders, shouting in grief and indignation.

"The supervising army should not slander the subordinates, but the subordinates are strictly carrying out the orders of the lord, and dare not disobey in the slightest!"

Dian Wei answered fluently, and ran even faster with Lin Chao on his shoulders.

Lin Chao: I hate myself for being a weak chicken...
