Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113
In the autumn of 197 A.D., Li Song embarked on a journey again after the conquest of the puppet emperor Yuan, this time sending troops to crusade against Zhang Xiu, the "little neighbor" in the south.

With the newly appointed Annan generals Xiao Mohe and Pei Yuanqing as the vanguard, commanding [-] soldiers and horses, Su Dingfang took the lead in the army, Luo Cheng and Li Cunxiao led the left and right troops as the left and right flanks, and Yu Wencheng was in the rear.

Li Song personally led the army to march towards Wancheng. At noon, Li Song's army rested in a place, buried a pot on the spot to make food, and had lunch.

"How far is it from Wancheng?" Li Song stood on a slope, looked into the distance, and asked Su Dingfang who was following him.

"My lord! Before sunset, our army will be able to reach the bank of the Fian River." Su Dingfang looked up at the newly painted map in his hand and replied.

"By the way! Yuanqing and Maha are there? Is there any movement in Wancheng?" Li Song nodded, and then asked about the situation of the forward. He has been asking about this every day since Nanzheng came Last few times, so that we can keep abreast of the latest situation ahead.

"Return to the lord! Zhang Xiu of Wancheng worked hard to build and strengthen the city, and set up six lines of defense in front of our army to stop our army."

"Generals Pei Yuanqing and Xiao Mohe broke through the four lines of defense set up by Zhang Xiu an hour ago, and it is only a matter of time before they break through the other two lines of defense!" Su Dingfang said respectfully behind Li Song.

After Li Song heard this, he just rolled his eyes. Why did Zhang Xiu have to resist tenaciously when he led an army of 18 to attack Wancheng? Cao Cao immediately surrendered when he came.Li Song felt a little depressed.

"Send fast horses! Tell Yuanqing and Maha to set up troops by the banks of the Fei River and wait for my army to arrive. Without my order, they can't make an inch of progress!" Li Song raised a finger and said.

"No! I'll arrange it right away!" Su Dingfang saluted with fists in his arms, turned and left, leaving Li Song alone and looking into the distance, while a fast horse galloped away.

After having lunch, Li Song took a short rest and continued to move towards Wancheng.

On the banks of the Feishui, Pei Yuanqing and Xiao Mohe led the vanguard to break through the six lines of defense set up by Zhang Xiu. When they came here, looking at the Feishui flowing far away, Pei Yuanqing said: "Send the order! In this Feishui Set up camp by the bank and wait for the arrival of the army!"

"Promise!" The messenger took the order and left. After the messenger left, Xiao Mahe stepped forward and said, "Brother Pei! Why don't we take advantage of the high morale and go down to Wancheng in one go?"

"The lord has an order! Order me to wait for the army by the bank of the river, not to advance an inch, the military order is like a mountain! We have to obey! I hope Brother Xiao will not be impatient! Everything will be discussed when the lord's army arrives!" Pei Yuanqing held a pair of hammers , said to Xiao Mohe beside him, this time he was able to play triumphant songs all the way and break through Zhang Xiu's six lines of defense.
"Yes! I just feel a little pity!" Xiao Mohe said with some regret, Pei Yuanqing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Mahe's shoulder, and the two smiled at each other without saying anything.

On the tower of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu was in the middle, Jia Xu and Hu Che'er were standing behind Zhang Xiu, looking at Pei Yuanqing's vanguard camping by the bank of the Fei River.

"Wenhe! Now that Li Song's striker has camped by the river, what do you think we should do now?" Zhang Xiu looked back at Jia Xu on the left.

"The six lines of defense formed by our army and Liu Biao's army can't even stop the vanguard! Is our army so unbearable?"

"General! It was Jia Xu's mistake! That caused the enemy troops to come under our noses, but there was nothing we could do about them!" Jia Xu bowed his hands and apologized, but there was no sign of apology on his face.

"It's not that our army is weak, but that we miscalculated the enemy's combat power, let alone that even Li Song's forward army and generals are so good."

"Li Jun is an elite who has experienced battles for a long time. Li Song's forward generals are as brave as Lu Bu, but they are not far behind. Let alone six lines of defense, even ten lines of defense can still be broken by him. Now look Come on, just wait and see!"

"My lord! How about I lead a team of soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night, to give them a boost." Hu Che'er on Zhang Xiu's right cupped his fists and saluted.

"No!" As soon as Hu Che'er finished speaking, Jia Xu hurriedly stopped him. Seeing Hu Che'er looking at him, Jia Xu said, "Li Song's vanguard army has already reached the bank of the Lishui River. Li Song's army should It's not far from here, if we encounter Li Song's army, even if all my soldiers and people in the city go, they will definitely not be able to come back."

As if to verify what Jia Xu said, as soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, he saw Li Song's vanguard behind the camp. Suddenly, dust was flying. Listen carefully, and there seems to be the sound of someone roaring and roaring.

Taking a closer look, I saw thousands of elite cavalry galloping towards them. The leader of the army was Li Cunxiao, the Flying Tiger General under Li Song's command. The cavalry he commanded was called the Flying Tiger Army.

After thousands of cavalry, a large group of people followed closely. Pei Yuanqing and Xiao Mohe, who heard the news, led their personal guards to greet them.

The army camped next to the vanguard camp, connecting ten miles end to end, echoing Pei Yuanqing's vanguard camp, implying the formation of Jiugong Bagua.

"Ah!" Zhang Xiu sighed softly, and said to Jia Xu: "Sir, now that Li Song's army has arrived, looking at the formation, I'm afraid there are no less than 15 people, and it should be more than [-]. I don't know if the master has a good plan." Withdraw from the enemy?"

Seeing the blackness in front of him and the endless army, Zhang Xiu's scalp felt a little numb!He couldn't help turning his attention to Jia Xu. After all, Jia Xu had never let Zhang Xiu down. With him around, he would definitely be able to figure out a way to retreat from the enemy. Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel relieved. I can't help but feel at ease when I embroider.

Jia Xu looked at the army on the bank of the Feishui in the distance, rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said to Zhang Xiu who was standing in front: "General! I have a plan, not only can I retreat the enemy, maybe I can also take advantage of the opportunity It might be possible to kill Li Song."

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he was very curious, what kind of strategy was there to kill Li Song?

"Wenhe! Tell me quickly!"

"It's like this..." Jia Xu took a step forward, whispered something in Zhang Xiu's ear, stepped back, and stood there quietly, waiting for Zhang Xiu to digest his words.

"Can it work?" Zhang Xiu frowned after hearing this, glanced at Jia Xu, and asked a little uneasy in his heart. After seeing Jia Xu nodding his head affirmatively, Zhang Xiu made up his mind to follow Jia Xu's instructions. Do what you say.

The setting sun went down the mountain, the day faded, and the night fell. Inside the camp of Li Song's army, the dancing flames in the brazier illuminated the dark surroundings.

In order to prevent a possible sneak attack in Wancheng, sentry posts and patrols were strengthened in the camp. A man in black evaded a patrol team and sneaked in quietly. After identifying the direction, he headed for a camp.

"Stop! Who is it?" No matter how careful he was, he was still spotted by the guard post, and a loud shout came from the guard post, which alerted the nearby patrol team.

The patrol team who heard the sound hurried towards it!The man stood still, allowing the patrols to come and surround him. Looking at the surrounding soldiers, the man threw away the weapon in his hand and raised his hands.

Countless weapons were pointed at him, and he looked around, without any sense of panic being discovered, very calm!The patrol divided a passage in the middle, and a person walked through this passage. After he walked through the passage, the patrol quickly blocked the passage again.
