Agents of the Three Kingdoms

The army entered Dongyuan Town. Along the way, many scouts were sent out, and a steady stream of news came back from the front. The army was not blocked, and the road was smooth.

"Report,"

The scout quickly ran back, got off his horse, and reported: "General, the road ahead is blocked."

Wang Lei asked, "What's the situation?"

The scout looked stern and said, "The road ahead is between two hillsides. A big rock blocks the road. It will be difficult to move forward in a short time."

Wang Lei ordered: "Break the road immediately, and don't delay the time to go on the road."

"promise,"

The scout sent an order to let the former soldiers get through the blocked road.

Guo Jia followed Wang Lei on horseback, frowned and said, "Last night, Xu Rong sent troops to harass us. Today, on our way, he sent troops to drop boulders to block our way. I'm afraid there are countless other means. I think the other party is planning to attack us." To shake our morale, Xu Rong is very cunning,"

Wang Lei smiled slightly, and said: "Feng Xiao's analysis makes sense, but no matter what Xu Rong's thoughts are, they can't stop our pace after all. Once the army approaches the city, Xu Rong will undoubtedly be defeated."

Guo Jia nodded, agreeing with Wang Lei's analysis.

Half an hour later, the road was cleared and the army continued to advance.

However, after walking for less than an hour, the scout ran back again and reported: "General, the bridge leading to Lu County has been destroyed. You must cross the river unless you are wading forward."

"Oh, how's the river going?"

Wang Lei asked, but his heart suddenly became vigilant.

If Xu Rong's soldiers set up an ambush upstream, and Xu Rong's army broke the embankment to release the water while the army was crossing the river, the situation would be bad.

The scout thought for a while and replied: "Reporting to the general, the river is two feet wide, the water flow is slow, and the water is very shallow. You can even see the bottom of the river clearly. Depending on the situation, there does not seem to be an ambush."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei ordered, "Lead the way, I'll go and see for myself."

When it comes to crossing the river, Wang Lei must be cautious.

The soldiers led the way, and Wang Lei led the people on the way quickly. After a while, they came to the river.

Wang Lei stood by the river and looked carefully. This river was only two feet wide and knee-deep. It was a very small river.

After Wang Lei pondered for a moment, he said, "Feng Xiao, what should you do?"

Guo Jia replied: "My lord, the river is only two feet wide, but the river washes down and the water depth rises. The distance of two feet is enough to divide our soldiers into two parts in a short time. At that time, the army will be divided into two, and the river Soldiers on the other side are likely to be attacked,"

Wang Lei thought about it carefully, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "The truth is this, has Feng Xiao thought about it, if this is a trick set up by the other party, I think it is an opportunity to lure the other party out, and besides, Soldiers crossing the river are immediately ready to defend, as long as the defense is proper, there will be no problems, and even, this is an opportunity to annihilate the opponent."

Xu You agreed: "My lord's analysis, I think it makes sense,"

The judge nodded, also with an expression of approval.

Jushou said: "My lord, I suggest sending scouts to search the upper reaches of the river."

Compared with Xu You and Shen Pei, Ju Shou is more cautious.

Wang Lei nodded, looked at Lu Bu, and ordered: "Brother, send fifty cavalry to search immediately."

Lu Bu immediately ordered the cavalry to inquire about the news.

A quarter of an hour later, the scout came back to report the news, and nothing happened. Wang Lei no longer hesitated, and ordered the soldiers to cross the river. The whole process was not affected.

More than half of the army passed, and there was still nothing.

Wang Lei started to lead people across the river, and soon after, Jushou, Shenpei and others also crossed the river one by one.

The tens of thousands of troops all crossed the river without being ambushed.

Wang Lei frowned slightly, thinking to himself, he was a little nervous, and was frightened by a small river. The army advanced, and encountered scattered troops blocking it halfway. Xu Rong sent soldiers to continue to make trouble, which greatly reduced the Jizhou army. The speed of the journey, until the evening, the army arrived in Dongyuan Town.

It took only one day to walk a town, and the speed was very slow.

After taking Dongyuan Town, the army camped outside the town. After nightfall, the army was harassed again. In the middle of the night, Wang Lei was lying on the bed, unable to sleep. Putting on his clothes, Wang Lei sat in the tent and ordered: "Send an order to let Jushou, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu come to camp,"

"promise,"

The soldiers went to pass the order, and after a short time, Ju Shou, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu came to the camp.

After Ju Shou and Lu Bu saluted and sat down, Zhao Yun looked calm and showed no respect.

Lu Bu asked, "My lord called us all night, what's the matter?"

Ju Shou speculated: "Is the lord planning to fight back?"

Wang Lei nodded and said: "We must start preparing for a counterattack. Xu Rong has adopted a strategy of resisting step by step in order to continuously consume our morale. When our army arrives in Lu County, Xu Rong will definitely launch the most violent attack. For that, we have to be proactive,"

Lü Bu asked, "My lord is planning to come out safely."

Zhao Yun said lightly: "Wang Zhoumu has any plans, just say it."

Ju Shou's eyes fell on Wang Lei, looking forward to it.

Wang Lei said: "Xu Rong's eyes are all on our army now, and our every move has attracted Xu Rong's attention. I plan to take a dark strategy, and I will still lead the army to move forward , Then, Zilong and Mr. Ju led the army to leave the camp quietly, and after approaching, raided the county seat of Lu County, "

When Lu Bu heard that he was missing, he asked, "My lord, what about me?"

Wang Lei said: "My brother is famous all over the world, and his goal is too obvious. If he is not by my side, it will easily arouse Xu Rong's suspicion. Therefore, I must stay. The reason why I let my brother come is that I need him to dispatch the Falcon Battalion to protect Zilong. attack,"

Lu Bu sighed softly, his eyes full of reluctance.

Wang Lei smiled and said: "My brother's Eagle Falcon Battalion has strong fighting power and is very noisy. If the Eagle Falcon Battalion pursues overnight, it will definitely attract Xu Rong's attention. At that time, Zilong will leave quietly with the army."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "The last general obeys."

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Zhao Yun, and he said, "Zilong, I'm sure."

Zhao Yun asked back, "How many soldiers will you give me?"

Wang Lei kicked the ball back and said, "I'll give you as many soldiers as you need,"

Zhao Yun calculated carefully, and said: "Too many troops, it is easy to be discovered; too few troops, it is difficult to take Lu County. Give me three thousand soldiers, and we must have enough dry food, bows and arrows."

Ju Shou added: "When we raided into the city, Xu Rong might counterattack. Therefore, shield soldiers are needed. Among the [-] soldiers, [-] ordinary soldiers are the main ones, and the remaining [-] soldiers must be equipped with shields for defense."

"Yes," Wang Lei nodded, looked at Lu Bu, and ordered, "Brother, call the cavalry from the Falcon Battalion and chase them all night to attract Xu Rong's attention."

"promise,"

Lu Bu ordered to go down immediately to prepare,
