Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 289 Can't even make an ambush?
"What's going on?" Feng Yao asked with a straight face.

"He, he dropped the torch on the ground!" The county soldier pointed angrily at the young man who made a mistake.

Seeing Feng Yao intervening in person, the strong man fell to his knees in fright, and said in panic, "Young one is really sleepy, I didn't do it on purpose! I beg you to spare me!"

"That's right! That's right! It's all because the grass is too dry. If it's wet, even if it falls on the ground, nothing will happen!" A bold young man cheered.

"I beg Mr. Feng, please spare him. During the daytime work, he is the one who works the hardest among us!" Another strong man said.

Feng Yao looked at the burnt grassland, terrified, and said badly in his heart, he didn't care to know more about the situation, and immediately made a decision.

"Not only did you not do anything wrong, but you have rendered meritorious service to our army. Come here! Give me ten taels of silver!" Feng Yao nodded to the strong man.

"And you, be serious and responsible, and reward you with twelve pieces of silver, don't argue about the rest!" Feng Yao called the county soldier again.

Yang Wu immediately took out the silver taels and rewarded them respectively. The two were very happy and thanked them again and again!

After Feng Yao dealt with this trivial matter, he immediately summoned the generals: "We have overlooked an important detail! Now the weather is dry and there is a lot of dry grass on this mountain. If the enemy attacks with rockets, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape! "

Everyone was shocked, sucked in air-conditioning, and drowsiness disappeared suddenly.

……

The news of Feng Yao's occupation of Laiwu reached Cao Cao's ears within half a day.

Cao Cao was shocked and did not dare to underestimate Feng Yao, so he ordered General Cao Ren to attack Laiwu with 5000 troops.

Xi Zhong persuaded: "Feng Yao is full of tricks. I am afraid that General Cao is not an opponent. If Laiwu cannot be captured, Feng Yao's army will surely come later. My lord, please lead the army to conquer!"

Cao Cao said: "Laiwu has only a few thousand troops. Feng Yao won many victories in the past because I didn't send out elite soldiers! This time I attack with elite troops from Qingzhou, and I will surely succeed! You don't need to say any more! I have made up my mind!"

Xi Zhong shook his head and sighed, and could only retreat sadly!
Cao Ren led the army and set off immediately. After about forty miles, when he reached the vicinity of Mount Gui, it was already dark, so he set up camp.

Gather five school lieutenants under him to discuss the matter, namely Niu Jin, Chang Diao, Lu Chang, Cao Yong and Chun Yudao.

Cao Ren glanced at all the capable generals under his command, and finally rested his eyes on Niu Jin's face, and said: "We are ordered by the lord to come to conquer Feng Yao this time. We can only win, not lose, otherwise as long as Feng Yao is in Laiwu City If you stand firmly on your feet, Qingzhou will be in danger!"

"Hahaha! General! Others are afraid of Feng Yao, but I, Director Chunyu, treat Feng Yao like a child! If I bump into him, I will cut off his head!" Director Chunyu said proudly.

Cao Yong nodded, convinced that Director Chunyu's bravery was obvious to all. In a competition, Director Chunyu once defeated Cao Ren, and he was able to become the captain because he had killed countless enemies step by step. It's not as good as Cao Yong's self-satisfaction.

At this time, a general standing beside Cao Ren snorted softly. He regarded him as one of the most courageous lieutenants in the Qingzhou army with a height of eight feet. His surname was Chang and his name was Diao. one.

"General! Feng Yao is insignificant, and his martial arts are mediocre. I have never heard of him defeating any famous generals, but Xu Chu and Dai Ling who follow him are extremely brave. The last general is willing to be the vanguard. After attacking the city, if the enemy sees that our army is small, he will definitely send a general to lead the army to fight, and want to seize the momentum of our army. At that time, I will kill the general with my own hands! To show the prestige of our army!" Chang Diao is not angry and powerful , said coldly.

Lu often saw that the two generals underestimated the enemy, frowned slightly, cupped their hands and said, "General, the last general would like to lead an army, go around behind the enemy, lie in ambush in the deep mountains, and cut off the enemy's reinforcements!"

Niu Jin sighed: "There is a strange thing today. I don't know if you have noticed that Zishui seems to be getting shallower! I will worry that this is Feng Yao's scheme!"

"What you said is all right. In my opinion, first order the scouts to go to investigate the enemy's situation tonight. We will immediately attack the city and set up a camp in the early morning of tomorrow. Chang Xiaowei and Chunyu Xiaowei will be the left and right vanguards along the Zishui River. First, Colonel Lu led the headquarters to go around the enemy's rear, and Captain Niu and I escorted the food and grass behind." Cao Ren said.

"Follow the general's order!" Everyone clasped their fists together.

The next day, the scouts came to report with great joy: "General! I have found out that the enemy is ambushing in the mountains 6000 miles ahead! There are more than [-] people from the two schools!"

Cao Ren asked in surprise: "Since the enemy has ambushed, how can you find out?"

"Return to the general, the enemy is lying in ambush on the mountain, but there are torches shaking, the little one counted the tents, so I know!" the scout said.

Cao Ren said: "You have done a great job, and I will give you a credit after the enemy is defeated!"

The scout was overjoyed: "Thank you, General!!" After saying that, he stepped back excitedly.

Cao Ren looked into the distance, with disdain in his eyes, "Everyone says Feng Yao is so scheming, but in my opinion, it's just commonplace! He wouldn't even do an ambush. If I were me, I would definitely hide in the bushes in the mountains Here, as soon as the enemy arrives, the arrows will rain down like rain, and they will not be caught off guard! I was worried at first, but now I can use my plan, and when the time comes, I will suddenly attack and kill up the mountain. With my more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers What is the bravery of thousands of enemy soldiers! Even if there are ten thousand enemies guarding the mountain, it is impossible to stop my Qingzhou soldiers!"

"Order! The army prepares food in the third watch and sets out in the fourth watch!" Cao Ren immediately ordered.

Twenty miles north of Laiwu City

Feng Yao Camp
Before the fourth watch, Liu Shun rushed to report: "My lord, Cao Cao sent General Cao Ren to lead [-] elite troops to come along the Zishui River! Among them, Lu Chang's department suddenly changed its course and went west!"

"Is Cao Ren's army leaning against the Zishui side, or are there soldiers on both sides?" Feng Yao asked anxiously.

"There are soldiers on both sides, and the food and grass are transported by boats and boats. They move quickly. Please make preparations quickly, my lord!" Liu Shun said.

"Okay! Liu Shun, the victory of this battle, the information is very important, I know you have not slept all night, but I still hope that you will go to find out the latest movement of the enemy army, and send someone back to report every quarter of an hour!" Feng Yaosong Take a breath.

"The battle is imminent, and my subordinates don't feel sleepy at all right now, please rest assured, my lord!" Liu Shun blinked his bloodshot eyes and said loudly.

Feng Yao nodded, patted Liu Shun on the shoulder, and said, "Liu Shun, since I joined the army, you have been by my side all the time. The enemy you are facing is Cao Cao, so you must be careful!"

"Yes! My lord! This subordinate understands!!" Liu Shun nodded, his spirits lifted. He glanced at Feng Yao who was also exhausted, and felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders!

Liu Shun took a deep breath, took his leave, and quickly disappeared into the camp.

Soon, the scouts continued to send news from the front.

"Report, Lu Chang, Cao Ren's lieutenant, led three thousand soldiers and marched in the direction of Banyang!"

"Report! Cao Ren's vanguard Chang Diao and Chun Yu Dao came from both sides of the Zishui River, each leading [-] soldiers. They are all strong and equipped with shields. I am afraid our bows and arrows will not be of much use!"

"Report! Chang Diao has [-] troops in the east, and Chunyu Dao has [-] troops in the west. They have already attacked five miles away!"

"Report! The distance between Cao Ren's headquarters and the striker is only five miles away!"

"Report! The troops led by Chang Diao and Chunyu Dao are called Qingzhou soldiers. They are covered in iron armor, eight feet tall, with a large shield in one hand and a short halberd in the other!"
