Competing

Chapter 243 White Water Gorge

Lu Bozi, because he was Xiang Yu's stable boy, is also called Lu Matong!
His appearance in history, the most revealing is probably the last moment of the life of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, on the bank of Wujiang River!
Lu Matong has always been dissatisfied because he didn't get too high a reward, and Xiang Yu's series of self-willedness later made people even more sad.Especially after Chen Ping's countermeasures worked, Fan Zeng died of back gangrene, and Xiang Yu became more suspicious of the generals.

Lu Matong was already dissatisfied and worried about being killed, so he simply defected to Xiang Yu and joined the Han army.Liu Bang was very happy and canonized him as a doctor and cavalry general.After Gaixia, he participated in the battle and led the army to participate in the pursuit of Xiang Yu.

When Xiang Yu slayed himself by the Wujiang River, he found his trail, because Liu Bang ordered to kill Xiang Yu to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.Xiang Yu claimed that he was simply dead, so that he could take advantage of his old friend, so he killed himself.The Han army fought for the dead, and Lu Matong got his arm, so he got his wish and was named Wu Zhonghou by Liu Bang!

This is Lu Matong in history, and now he has just returned from Guanzhong, although he is depressed because he failed to become a marquis.But fortunately, Fan Zeng gave him another chance to get credit for killing Yue Wang Yin Xu!

It's a pity that things didn't go well. More than a dozen trackers sent out disappeared, and they didn't know what happened to the wolves.But I dare not simply characterize it as an accident. The biggest possibility is that the Yue people noticed it.

If so, will the interception continue as usual?Lu Matong was in a bit of trouble.After a little hesitation, he told himself that this interception must be done, otherwise the great credit will be in vain, and maybe he will be punished for leaking traces!

The enfeoffment in Guanzhong no longer has its share, and now is an excellent opportunity. If you fail to grasp it and waste it in vain, I'm afraid you will hold grudges for the rest of your life!When the opportunity comes, you must not let it go, even if it is a little risky, you must bite the bullet and rush forward. Lu Matong is such a person!
"Intercept? Or..." After a brief silence, Lu Matong whispered to himself.

The subordinate at the side is a fine person, and immediately stepped forward and said: "In the future, now is the right time to intercept and kill!"

"Oh? How do you say it?" Hearing this, Lu Matong, who was hesitating, seemed to have a few more weights on one side of the balance in his heart, so he hurriedly asked.

The subordinate immediately replied: "General, let's not talk about whether the tracking of the disappearance of the soldiers is really done by the Yue people? Even if it is true, what can we do? To startle the snake? The subordinate does not think so!"

Lu Matong asked: "Be careful, keep talking!"

The subordinate continued: "The Yue people haven't figured out the specific situation yet, so they must be on guard. Thinking carefully about the shrewdness of Yue King Yin Xu, it is natural to expect that someone will be intercepted and killed along the way. You can see from the cautiousness of the Yue people along the way. Therefore, whether this matter exists or not, Yue people will be careful and vigilant, and whether this matter occurs or not has little influence!
Now we are thinking about whether we will continue to intercept and kill as usual after we have alerted the snake?Vietnamese people think the same way.If this is what they did, what is their purpose? "

Listening to Chu Ma's words, Lu Matong's eyes were full of waves!

I just heard the subordinate continue: "Their purpose is probably to warn us, telling us that they found us... At this time, will they be secretly complacent, thinking that we will retreat in spite of difficulties, and instead relax their guard? What's more, as long as we Proceed carefully, even if the interception is unsuccessful, there will be no loss!"

Unexpectedly, the little soldier of the Chu army is also very intelligent and knows how to think in reverse. It's a pity that he didn't use it on the right way, otherwise he might have a bright future.Now it is used to slap the horse with beard and beard, but it is considered clever but was mistaken by cleverness!
Lu Matong was immediately happy when he heard it. He was hesitating, but his subordinate's flattering analysis immediately fell into his ears.Without thinking too much, he also agreed, and the balance in his heart also tilted accordingly, which made him make a decision - follow the plan and intercept and kill Yue Wang Yinxu as usual!

"Pass down the order, deploy it in Baishui Gorge, and intercept and kill the Yue people!" Lu Matong showed a smug smile on his lips.I hope this encounter can be successful. If Yin Xu can be killed successfully, Overlord and Yafu thought to themselves, this reward from the Marquis...is it afraid that there will be no?Even if it fails, there will be no big loss, so this account is worth it!
Baishui Gorge, an unknown small canyon in Linjiang Country, is between a section of plains and mountains.Now a group of cavalry is marching here, and there are people moving secretly in the mountains. An interception or anti-robbery is about to be launched here.Maybe after this night, the unknown Baishui Gorge may leave a faint mark in history!
After passing through a large plain, the terrain here is somewhat undulating, and a low mountain group appears in the field of vision.To enter this area, you have to pass through Baishui Gorge, with steep cliffs on both sides, and some shrubs grow on it.In the middle is a canyon about two feet wide and more than two miles long. This is the most suitable place to intercept and kill within a hundred miles!
It was noon when the thousand-man cavalry of the Yue Kingdom escorted the Yue King Yin Xu to this place.Seeing the terrain in front of him, Su Anbian hesitated, rode his horse over and asked, "Your Majesty, this..." Yin Xu naturally understood what he was referring to. Do you dare to pass through the canyon now?
Yin Xu answered inappropriately and asked: "I'm tired after walking for a day, let's bury the pot and make a meal first! Let's rest here for today!"

Su An had doubts about this, how could Yin Xu see it, thinking that he had done this kind of thing before when he dealt with An Tong's siege in Fanyi.

After Su An ordered the arrangements, he returned to Yin Xu and asked, "My lord, do they still dare to be so arrogant? Will they still ambush as usual?"

It can be seen that what Lu Matong's subordinates said is not unreasonable. Although Su An has been careful to guard against this, he also has similar thoughts.Soldiers are deceitful, what Sun Tzu said is exactly right!
Since the human voice was heard during the howling of wolves that night, the identity of the tracker had been exposed, and it was impossible for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb.It doesn't make any sense to let go, it's better to kill them all, it's a warning.Deng Lingmo's people did this, which shows that Zhong Yin thinks so too!

As for whether the opponent will still ambush as usual?This... Yin Xu is not sure, and said softly: "No matter how much, if you sail for thousands of years, you will never make mistakes!"

Su An tentatively asked: "Then this canyon? If we make a detour, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of time!"

"Detour? Why do you want to make a detour?" Yin Xu said, "Is there an ambush in the valley? You just need to check it to know!"

Then I'll send someone... Su An just wanted to say this, but hesitated to speak, Yin Xu obviously didn't want him to use such a stupid method!Su An looked into the valley in front of him. The spring in early February was cold, the northwest wind had not subsided, the trees in the mountains had not yet sprouted, and they were withered and yellow. It seemed that there had been no rain recently...
