Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 537 Decoy
Juyong belongs to Shanggu County. Forty miles to the southeast is Juyongguan. The forty-mile-long valley is surrounded by majestic mountains on both sides, and Jundu Mountain is on the north. The people of Daijun and Shanggu moved to the east of Juyongguan to avoid the Huns' invasion.

"My lord, the terrain here is majestic, and the two valley roads are as long as forty miles. Our army has set up an ambush here. As long as Lu Bu enters this place, he will be in danger!" Xu You pointed at the precipitous terrain in front of Juyongguan, and smiled at Yuan Shao. "Even if Nalu Bu has the power to reach the heavens, our army only needs to trap him to death here, so that Nalu Bu can't escape with his wings!"

Yuan Shao looked at the place in front of him, turned his head to look at the crowd and said, "That's right, this place is more dangerous than the lore place we selected before, then Lu Bu thinks he can rest easy after leaving Bingzhou, but this place is enough for him to die. place!"

"This battle needs to be won quickly, otherwise Yecheng may be lost!" Tian Feng was still a little worried about the safety of Yecheng, if there was a mistake in Yecheng, the morale of Yuan Shao's army would definitely be shaken.

Yuan Shao's spirit has improved a lot after going out for the past few days. He was in a good mood at first, but he couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this. However, Tian Feng's worry was not unreasonable, and he nodded silently: "What Yuan Hao said is serious. Yes."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him and discussed with everyone how to fight the enemy. The Zhen family's food team had already been sent to Juyong. Although Juyongguan is a dangerous place, this Juyong City is not.

"Now that our army has made arrangements, we can let the second son withdraw from Macheng and lure the enemy into here step by step!" Feng Ji laughed.

Yuan Shao nodded, and was about to say something, but saw a general coming hurriedly from the gate, bowed to Yuan Shao, "My lord, some generals from Daijun are here."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "It must be that Lu Bu's army has arrived in Macheng! Let him come up."

"Here!" The general agreed, and hurried down to the city, and after a while, he came up with a travel-worn soldier, saw Yuan Shao, and hurriedly bowed down.

"Come on, Xian Yi ordered you to come, but Lu Bu has already arrived in Macheng?" Yuan Shao asked the soldiers to stand up.

"Exactly." The general said quickly, "My lord, Macheng and Guangning were destroyed one after another. The second young master has retreated to Xialuo. However, Xialuo has no danger to defend. The bandits are ferocious. The young master called Xiaozhi to ask for help."

Yuan Shao was stunned: "Macheng is broken? Even Guangning is broken!?"

At the end, the tone of voice suddenly rose.

"Exactly...exactly!" The soldier bowed his head.

"How did it break?" Xu You frowned. Macheng occupies a favorable location. Although it is not as dangerous as Juyongguan, it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are few people in the city, and there is not much energy to protect the city, but it shouldn't be breached so easily.

"Ma Chao, the vanguard of the bandit army, led his troops to Macheng to fight..." The soldiers immediately narrated in detail how the two cities of Macheng and Guangning were destroyed.

"Bastard! Idiot!" Hearing the narration of the soldiers, Yuan Shao's face became even paler. The terrain of Macheng was dangerous, and there were more than 20,000 defenders in Guangning, but 3000 people broke the city, and even lost one a day. Yuan Shao felt that he just let a dog be the commander in chief, and that's about it. This son is really not as good as a dog!
Yuan Shao didn't intend to defend the horse city, but he didn't intend to abandon it immediately. What he wanted was Yuan Xi to buy him some time and let him arrange it here calmly. Now that Liangtian has lost the two cities, where is Yuan Shao's side? Have time to make careful arrangements?

Yuan Shao now has a feeling that he can't wait to kill his relatives righteously.

"Map!" said in a low voice, and suddenly someone found the map of this area.

Coming here from Guangning, there are mountains in the middle, and there is only one road to get here. Juyong and Xiangluo are in the same small plain. That is to say, as long as we guard this mountain road, we can buy some time.

"My lord, as long as we stay here, we still have a chance!" Xu You pointed to the mountain pass and said, although the terrain is not as steep as other places, and there is no city, but it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yuan Xi now There are still many people and horses, as long as they guard here, they still have a chance!
"Although the second son was negligent, the bandit army was able to win quickly after breaking through the city, which shows that the bandit army is strong. If there is no city as a backing, the second son may not be able to stop the bandit army." Ju Shou shook his head, even with the city as a backing. Hold on, in the absence of a city, he is not too optimistic about Yuan Xi being able to hold on.

"My lord, it's better to let the second son continue to garrison Juyongguan. We will send a general to guard the south entrance of the rear. Even if the second son is difficult to reach the enemy, but given the danger of Juyongguan, we should be able to defend it for a few days. Our army will take this opportunity. With this layout, if Lü Bu breaks through Juyong Pass, the second son will retreat to the south entrance, and when Lv Bu's army passes through, our army will take advantage of the situation to recapture Juyong Pass and trap Lv Bu to death in the forty-mile valley!" Tian Feng pointed Juyongguan looked at Yuan Shaodao.

"If he loses me for another day, then there is no need to fight this battle!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly, obviously not very optimistic about this unlucky son.

"My lord, although the second son lost two battles in a row, it was all due to the enemy's deceit. If the battle was normal, the second son could not have lost so quickly!" Ju Shou gave a different opinion.

Yuan Xi still has some abilities. The battle of Macheng was due to greed for merit, and the battle of Guangning, Yuan Xi had obviously noticed the problem, but he failed to control the situation, so that Guangning would be lost. Otherwise, no matter what, this It is impossible for Guangning to lose so quickly, he thinks he can give Yuan Xi another chance.

"Furthermore, if a general of our army shows up now, he may alert Lu Bu and let the second son guard Juyong Pass first, and I will wait to watch over him, so we won't be defeated so quickly!" Tian Feng laughed.

Xu You and the others also nodded silently. Now that their army is preparing to set up an ambush, it is inconvenient to show up at this time.

Xu You thought for a while and said: "Let the second son bring only the elite to Juyongguan, and then send a general to take over the army. After the enemy army has passed, take the opportunity to take back Macheng, Guangning and other places, and cut off Lu Bu's retreat!"

They have already sent people to Bingzhou to plunder Lv Bu's food road. If another general here goes to retake Guangning, Macheng and other places, Lv Bu's retreat will be blocked.

Yuan Shao nodded depressedly: "In that case, Han Meng!"

"The last general is here!" Han Meng stepped forward and bowed.

"Go and send an order to tell that scoundrel to get out of here and guard Juyongguan. If he makes another mistake this time, I will punish him severely!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

"The last general takes orders!" Han Meng nodded in agreement, then took his bodyguards to bid farewell to Yuan Shao, and went straight to where he was.

"Trash!" After the arrangements were made, Yuan Shao couldn't help but curse again. The good situation that was originally prepared was disrupted by this rebellious son.

Although everyone agreed, they didn't dare to meddle in the matter between father and son. They went to prepare the arrangement separately. It is not easy to make this forty-mile valley into a Jedi!
Guangning, government office.

Lü Bu's army had already arrived. Looking at the proud Ma Chao, Chen Gong nodded with a smile and said, "Meng Qi broke [-]% in two days in a row, and Yuan Xi's main force was defeated. This should be the first achievement."

"Sir, you are too serious. I only blame Yuan Xi for being too incompetent!" Ma Chao's smile was about to crack his ears. He won two feet in a row and broke two heavily guarded cities in two days. Regardless of the time spent on the road, he broke two cities. The total time may not be enough for one day, which really makes him very proud.

"Gongtai, let's go to Guangning. The road to the west of Juyongguan is smooth. Next, as long as you pass through Juyongguan, you can gobble up the land of Youzhou." Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile.

"That's true." Chen Gong nodded in agreement: "But Juyongguan is not easy to go."

"How do you say it?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"Picture!" Chen Gong beckoned, and a map appeared in front of the three of them. Chen Gong pointed to the map and said, "Yesterday, I have received the Feige letter from Ziyan, and it is confirmed that Yuan Shao will leave Yecheng. I asked the Zhen family to send food and grass to Juyong, but the purpose was at Juyongguan, if Yuan Shao intends to ambush, the place of ambush must be at Juyongguan, in this battle, our army will be facing the elite of Yuan Shao's main force."

Lu Bu looked at Juyongguan, and some bad memories flooded his mind. After a while, he clicked on the map and said, "This is a forty-mile valley from the north to the south of Juyongguan. If there is an enemy army ambushing here, it will be really difficult to deal with!"

He is not afraid, but the army here can only walk in the shape of a long snake. Once the enemy army ambushes from the mountains on both sides, no matter how elite the army is, they can easily be cut off.

And once the army is cut off here, the fate waiting for them is to be defeated one by one, and he will also lose the strength of the army, facing thousands of troops alone, and finally exhausted his energy and died of exhaustion.

If Yuan Shao mobilizes all the elite troops here...

A look of worry flashed across Lu Bu's eyes, and he looked at Chen Gong.

"If it is really the main force of the enemy army, then the opponent at Juyongguan will try to give way to our army!" Chen Gong looked at the map, thought for a moment, and said, "How about luring the enemy?"

"How to lure the enemy?" Lu Bu asked.

"It's simple, just send a general to pretend to be Marquis Wen, lead the army deep, and lure the enemy out secretly. Marquis Wen will take advantage of the situation and lead the army into the valley. Under the attack from inside and outside, Yuan's army will definitely be defeated!" Chen Gong laughed.

"Who is pretending to be Marquis Wen?" Ma Chao groped his chin to think about the candidate. Zhao Yun is actually possible, but if Zhao Yun wants to stay here, besides Zhao Yun, there is only...

He looked at Lu Bu and Chen Gong, but saw Lu Bu and Chen Gong looking at him upright.

"Me?" Ma Chao asked in amazement.

"Besides Meng Qi, there is no second choice." Chen Gong nodded: "Meng Qi can't rely on the old man to lead the army, can he?"

It is not impossible.

"Of course, I heard that Yan Liang, Wen Chou under Yuan Shao's command are enemies of ten thousand people, if Meng Qi is afraid, he can think of other strategies!" Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Afraid?" Ma Chao raised his head, and said loudly: "Sir, don't underestimate others. Yan Liang is ugly, and I treat him like nothing. The general is willing to accept this order!"
