Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226 Prelude
At the beginning of the Shangcai battle, Liu Yu didn't have the energy to pay attention, because he was thinking about a strategy to completely get rid of Li Tong.

Li Tong is like a lurking old wolf. Although it seems harmless, it doesn't mean that he is really no threat.If Liu Yu fights with others now and is dragged back, Li Tong will definitely jump on him viciously.

Or if other places in Runan are in danger and need Liu Yu's rescue, Li Tong will definitely hold him tightly.At that time, the thin old wolf will burst out with great strength, revealing his still sharp fangs.

If it was someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't care so much about Li Tong. After all, Li Tong had already been defeated several times and was almost powerless to turn the tables.But Liu Yu didn't despise Li Tong because of this, because he knew that Li Tong was extraordinary, if he was not careful, he would definitely be overthrown by Li Tong.

Therefore, he is now loosening the outside and tightening the inside, actively thinking about a strategy to destroy Li Tong in one fell swoop.

Originally, no matter how he thought about it, he had no clue, and couldn't think of a reason.No way, Li Tong, a wily and calculating guy, is so cautious.

Although he couldn't think of any clever plan, Liu Yu still sent troops several times unwillingly.But it was useless, Li Tong either shrank into the shell like a tortoise, and would not come out no matter how much Liu Yu harassed him; or he was like a cunning wild dog, came out to bite Liu Yu, and immediately returned to the camp.

After several times like this, not only did Liu Yu not take advantage of it, but he was even slightly defeated by Li Tong in a few games.After these few games, Li Tong saw the hope of victory, and even took the initiative to send troops to attack the city, but the facts told him: he was too optimistic, the ancient city is not so easy to break through.

After the siege failed, Li Tong acted like a turtle again and stayed in the camp obediently, as if he was scared of being beaten.

However, is he really so honest?
Of course not, he was already secretly retreating, um, withdrawing the soldiers from the camp.However, although these soldiers withdrew from the camp, they did not withdraw, but lay in ambush in the deep forest far away.

That's right, this is a plan, Li Tong's plan, combined with Ji Ling's suggestion to him.Naturally, he couldn't directly adopt Ji Ling's strategy, because he didn't trust Ji Ling's character.But he felt that what Ji Ling said was right, so after thinking hard, he came up with such a plan.

The trick may not work, but if it doesn't, it's unlikely to lose anything.Therefore, Li Tong implemented this plan without any pressure.

Not only Li Tong is trying to solve Liu Yu, but Liu Yu is also trying to solve Li Tong.Before, he sent troops to harass Li Tong, and sent troops to attack Li Tong, but unfortunately, none of them worked, and Li Tong even won several games.

Fortunately, the ancient city has already settled down, and even if it loses a few games, there is no turmoil.If it was when he first came here, not to mention losing a few games, even one loss would be enough for Liu Yu.It was also because of this that he dared to provoke Li Tong unscrupulously.

At this time, Liu Yu was sitting in the lobby, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were full of thought.Just now, the dark guard reported that the number of soldiers in Li Tong's camp had decreased.

When he heard the news, the thought of Li Tong's retreat first flashed through his mind, and then he immediately took the initiative to filter out this thought - because he knew that it was impossible for Li Tong to retreat.

"Li Wenda, retreat?" Tapping on the table, Liu Yu muttered to himself, "Hehe, there must be a conspiracy here."

"Come on, send me all the hidden guards to investigate every inch of land."

All the secret guards were dispatched to conduct a carpet search for several days, and Liu Yu finally found Li Tong's retreating soldiers.To be honest, it was an accident to be able to spot those soldiers. Li Tong was indeed very cautious. If the soldiers were not so cautious, the hidden guards would never have been able to find out.

"Tsk tsk, what a Li Tong, it looks like you're going to ambush me." At dusk again, Liu Yu stood at the top of the city, overlooking Li Tong's camp, and let out a cold laugh.

In fact, Li Tong was not sure whether Liu Yu would send troops to Cai, but according to the information Ji Ling gave him, he believed that Liu Yu was very likely to go.It's a pity, if he knew the current situation of Shangcai, he would definitely not do this.Or if he had a deeper understanding of Liu Yu's personality, he wouldn't do that either.

But there is no if, so it happened like this!

"That's fine, this farce should come to an end. Li Tong, this time, I will definitely kill you!"

After gaining insight into Li Tong's strategy, Liu Yu began to take countermeasures.He thought about it, and finally decided to use his tricks to catch Li Tong.

First of all, he kept sending out scouts to create the illusion of an emergency.In order to be realistic, he even used those wounded soldiers as scouts, making Li Tong believe that the battle in Shangcai was urgent.

After that, he began to dispatch troops again, making the illusion that he was about to send troops.Also for the sake of realism, he really mobilized in the city, such as food and grass.

In the end, he deliberately sent a team of people to continue to harass Li Tong in front of his camp, confusing Li Tong's vision.

But Li Tong is so shrewd, how could he be confused.He could see all of Liu Yu's movements clearly, and knew in his heart that Liu Yu was preparing for the dispatch of troops.Of course, this did not meet Liu Yu's expectations. Liu Yu's actions were just to convince Li Tong that he was going to send troops.

"Li Tong, Li Tong, everything is ready, the only thing we need is the east wind, the last battle - let's start!" In the dark night, Liu Yu looked at Li Tong's camp and muttered to himself.

Then, he turned to look at his soldiers, and said sharply: "Soldiers, victory or defeat is in the present. If you win, you will be promoted to rank; if you lose, your soul will return to the loess. The victory or defeat is not with the enemy, but with us, so ——Tell me, your choice!"

"Win, win, win!"

The thousand elite soldiers in front of them made a deafening sound, which sounded extremely powerful.This is an elite soldier, not something new recruits can compare to.Their roars were naturally full of murderous intent.

Liu Yu looked at these elite soldiers under his command, with a confident light in his eyes.He believed that with his strategy and these elite soldiers, Li Tong could be dealt with completely.

"Soldiers, let's go!"

High-spirited, Liu Yu waved the black iron spear in his hand, and let out a solemn whistling sound.Immediately afterwards, he drove his horse to the front and led the soldiers to the battlefield.

And just as Liu Yu was leaving, Li Tong in the main tent also smiled, and murmured: "Liu Yu, let's decide the outcome in one battle. Hehe, you will definitely not be able to escape my scheme."

The lights were dim and the flames were swaying, and Li Tong's shadow was also erratic, just like the smile on his mouth, so confident and mysterious.

"Come on, pass on the order and be ready to do it!"

In the cold wind howling night, Liu Yu led the soldiers to trek in the snow with difficulty. It seemed that a lost snow deer was stepping into the hunter's trap step by step!
