Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Time flies, and it is already July in a blink of an eye.

It has been three days since Wang Lei led more than a thousand Xiliang troops into Runan County. During these three days, Wang Lei led his army to attack several important towns in Xinxi County, Runan County, including Chengguan Town, Xiazhuang Town, and Dongyue Town. Small four or five places.After breaking through the towns, Wang Lei captured the young men in every town and left a way to return the captives.

Go to Liu Bei's camp, ask Liu Bei to apologize for the Nanyang attack, and Wang Lei release all the prisoners.

This move was clearly embarrassing for Liu Bei.

In order to rescue the young hero of the family, people from all major families went to Liu Bei's camp.

Although Wang Lei won the victory and caused Liu Bei a lot of trouble, the cavalry under his command suffered nearly a hundred casualties in the repeated battles.For a large-scale battle, the casualties of nearly a hundred people are very small and can be ignored.Wang Lei has only a thousand cavalry under his command, and the loss of nearly a hundred people means that he has lost one-tenth of his combat effectiveness.

Such losses must be taken seriously.

Wang Lei looked at the soldiers under his command, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.Yuan Shu is different from Liu Bei. The tricks that are useful to Yuan Shu have little effect on Liu Bei.

It is not easy to defeat Liu Bei.

Lu Bu had a great time killing, but when he saw the wounded soldiers under his command, he said worriedly: "Brother, we are blocked everywhere when we enter the territory of Runan, every checkpoint is guarded, it will cause casualties to us. The road ahead may not be smooth."

Wang Lei also nodded, that's the fact.

After Liu Bei was prepared, it was not easy to travel freely in Runan.

What should I do if I want to teach Liu Bei a hard lesson?

It is obviously not what Wang Lei wants to just enter Runan and take down three or two towns. If so, Wang Lei can already withdraw his troops.If you want to beat Liu Bei, you will naturally beat Liu Bei painfully and hard, making Liu Bei want to cry without tears.

Otherwise, Wang Lei might as well not fight.

A look of hostility flashed in Wang Lei's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If you want Liu Bei to regret attacking us, you have to let Liu Bei's hard-earned foundation go wrong. Runan is an important town in Jizhou, and it is not just one or two people who are staring at Runan. Yes, Cao Cao is watching, and Tao Qian from Xuzhou is also watching...Brother, let’s continue to attack the rest of the towns, capture some more people, and continue to add chaos to Liu Bei. I have already considered the follow-up plan. Don’t enter the tiger’s den , How can I get a tiger's cub!"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Now that we have a plan, let's continue to kill."

……

Liu Bei's camp, the large tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Guan Yu, Liu Pi, Gong Du and others all gathered in the camp.

"Xianhe, tell me about Wang Lei's situation." Liu Bei said concisely.

Jian Yong nodded, and replied: "My lord, after Wang Lei led his cavalry into Runan, he successively conquered Chengguan Town, Xiazhuang Town, Dongyue Town and other places, and captured many younger brothers of the family. According to the legend of the soldiers, After hearing the news back, Wang Lei said that as long as the lord apologizes for the Nanyang attack, all the prisoners will be released. Now, the big families in every town have sent people to the camp."

"Too deceiving!"

Liu Bei slapped the desk, and said angrily.

After a long while, Liu Bei suppressed his anger and asked, "Wang Lei is raging in Runan, do you have any suggestions?"

Gong Du said: "My lord, Wang Lei's soldiers are no more than a thousand soldiers. He fought continuously in Chengguan, Xiazhuang and other places, and his strength must be lost. As long as there is one battle, Wang Lei can be completely destroyed."

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and said, "The problem is that we can't find a chance for a decisive battle. Wang Lei doesn't stay at all."

Zhang Fei yelled: "Since Nanyang County, Wang Lei has not confronted us head-on. This kid is slippery, like a loach, hard to catch."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and sighed lightly.

As Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said, it is not easy to fight Wang Lei.

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Yong said: "The Xiliang soldiers led by Wang Lei are all cavalry. They are flexible and maneuverable. It is almost impossible to catch up with Wang Lei. It is like meeting a barbarian in the north. It is difficult to track the opponent's whereabouts. We are everywhere The pursuit is not worth the loss. I think the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field should be adopted, and according to the previous plan, set up checkpoints to prevent Wang Lei from attacking."

After a pause, Jian Yong said again: "Wang Lei's troops must be less than a thousand in continuous combat. Every time he goes to a checkpoint, he is attacked by crossbows, barbed wire, etc., and there must be losses. If he encounters more than ten times in a row, in the end , the troops were completely lost, and they were no longer able to fight. At that time, it would be much easier to take down Wang Lei."

Jian Yong's suggestion was the same as Chen Dao's, and he didn't intend to continue chasing him.

The more you pursue, the more passive you become.

Liu Bei was dissatisfied, and said: "When we were in Nanyang County, it was not our territory, and we could adopt defensive strategies. But we withdrew to Runan County, which is the territory we control. Do we still need to passively defend? Take the initiative, I want to take the initiative The attack on Wang Lei made Wang Lei have nowhere to escape, instead of waiting for us to do nothing."

Facing Liu Bei's anger, Chen Dao said calmly, "My lord, there is no other way right now. We can only stop Wang Lei on the one hand, and on the other hand, investigate Wang Lei's news, so as not to let Wang Lei escape from our sight."

Liu Bei squinted his eyes, and gently tapped the desk in front of him with his right hand. The voice was very low, but it made people feel nervous.

Gong Du and Liu Pi lowered their heads, not daring to look Liu Bei squarely.

After a long time, Liu Bei sighed softly: "In order to take down Wang Lei, I can wait and focus on defense to surround Wang Lei."

Jian Yong cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise!"

Chen Dao also heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that Liu Bei would pursue him blindly.

"Report!"

The soldier walked in quickly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, there are many people from outside the camp. There are the patriarchs of the Chen, Guan, and Hu clans in Chengguan Town, and the Xia, Liu, Wu, and Gu clan chiefs in Xiazhuang Town, and The patriarchs of the other towns, big and small, about 30 to [-] people, all clamored to see the adults, and asked the adults to help them get back their relatives."

With a bitter face, Jian Yong said helplessly: "My lord, Wang Lei has caused us trouble. Wang Lei arrested the children of these big families, but let the lord handle it. He clearly intends to disgust the lord. The lord wants to help people from all families. The only way to get back your loved ones is to apologize to Wang Lei, if this is the case, what face is there? You can never agree. Wang Lei is sure that the lord will not agree, but he deliberately sent people to come, hateful!"

With a calm expression, Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "Take him to the camp first, and I will meet you later."

The soldiers retreated, Liu Bei looked at the people in the hall, and said: "Wang Lei's matter must be resolved. Apart from the current strategy, I have to think about what else to do. I will go to see the trouble Wang Lei has caused me. These people have to be seen, otherwise there will be problems."

Liu Bei got up and left to meet the patriarchs of the major families in the camp.

Not long after, Liu Bei came outside the tents where the patriarchs of various families were housed.Before he went in, Liu Bei had already heard the noise coming from the tent, which was as noisy as the vegetable market, which made Liu Bei frown.
