Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 278 Take the initiative
240 shi of grain is [-] million catties. I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who are willing to pay so much grain to marry a wife.

"Does Meng Lao think it's too little? How about adding another ten thousand shi of grain?"

As soon as Liu Yu opened his mouth, he added an extra [-] shi of grain. This kind of generosity shocked Wang Han, Qin Fu and others again.

"The king of Zhongshan is sincere to the younger sister, foster father...don't make things difficult!"

"Yeah, father-in-law, [-] shi is a lot of food, we can't be too... what the hell!"

Wang Han and Qin Fu were really afraid that their adoptive father would anger Liu Yu and ruin the relationship.

Liu Yu was not afraid of Mengxin's lion opening his mouth, but he was worried that Mengxin would ask him for those elusive medicines, so he intentionally showed a displeased expression on his face.

Zou Huimin felt very uncomfortable being marked with a price, but the high enough price also made her feel a little sweet.

But Liu Yu didn't like to treat his woman like this. He was afraid that Zou Huimin would feel uncomfortable, so after talking about the price increase, he whispered in her ear and explained: "This is a stopgap measure. Min'er is not any foreigner in my heart." Things can be exchanged."

Zou Huimin's heart melted upon hearing this, and she thought that if her adoptive father made too much demands later, she would definitely stand by her husband's side.

In fact, Meng Xin was also overwhelmed by the extra [-] shi of grain, but in order to retreat, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and refuse the temptation with difficulty.

"If the king of Zhongshan is sincere to Min'er, then please help the old man retreat from Niu Fu's army!"

As soon as Liu Yu heard that Mengxin's condition was this, he was happy at that time, thinking that he came here just to deal with Niu Fu's army, but now he can kill two birds with one stone.

……

After Liu Yu was invited to the mountain, Meng Xin split his screen and retreated to the left and right to ask him about the strategy to retreat from the enemy.

"Only when King Zhongshan was halfway up the mountain said that he had already thought of how to retreat from the enemy, but he didn't know where to go?"

Liu Yu didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Didn't Meng Lao already set up a seven-star killing formation in the city? As long as he finds a way to bring Niu Fujun into the city, he will definitely win a round first!"

Meng Xin sighed secretly after hearing this, he knew that Zou Huimin must have told Liu Yu about the seven-star killing formation, and more than ten days had passed since his arrangement of the killing situation, but Niu Fu never intended to send troops to attack the city.

At most, less than a hundred scouts were sent into the city at one time, and the defenders only ignited one of the small formations and burned all the people who came.

Since then, Niu Fu has become more careful. Even if the gates of Lu County are opened every day, he still won't send troops to attack.

"Niu Fu marched carefully, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lure him into the city!" Meng Xin sighed again.

But Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's not difficult, as long as Meng Lao leads all his men to challenge, and then deliberately loses and flees, so that Niu Fu can attack the city with peace of mind!"

Meng Xin is also a person who is proficient in the art of war. After thinking about it for a while, he understood Liu Yu's deep meaning.

Then Liu Yu said that Niu Fu's reluctance to attack the city was not all due to caution, but another reason, that is, Niu Fu's camp was also short of food, so he never dared to act rashly.

However, the food transport troops are on the way. If Mengxin can't defeat the enemy in advance, then there is only a dead end waiting for them.

Meng Xin didn't want to give up the food that originally belonged to him to Niu Fu, but a small seven-star killing array was not enough to wipe out Niu Fu's [-] army.

Because of the rush of time and consideration for the future, he only ordered people to bury fire and black water in the open space outside the city gate and in the city gate. According to the scale of the fire, the largest fire could burn thousands of people to death.

"Old Meng doesn't need to worry, just burn him once as planned, and leave the rest... to me!"

Liu Yu was still thinking about recruiting the Flying Bear Army under Niu Fu, how could they all be burned to death, but some necessary military strikes were still needed before the incorporation, because only when the morale of this army and horse was completely defeated, could it be possible to incorporate it.

At the same time, Liu Yu still has certain uncertainties about the burning power of black water, that is, oil, so this time he also wants to use the power of the seven-star killing array to witness it with his own eyes.

Meng Xin confirmed that Liu Yu was not with Niu Fu, and he had seen Liu Yu's tricks before.

He can annihilate Guo Si's army and Baibo bandits without a single soldier himself. Such a military wizard is worthy of his trust.

So that afternoon, Mengxin began to gather manpower, and ordered the three armies to go down the mountain to start the battle early in the morning.

……

Niu Fu had led his troops to the southwest for more than half a month. Except for sending out a few scouts, he had never issued a serious military order.

Before, it was because he thought he was going to play against his old opponent Zhu Jun, so he was extra careful. In the past two days, when Niu Fu read the latest information sent by Luoyang, he realized that it was not Zhu Jun in Lu County, but some people from Hongnong. The white wave thief who asked for it.

But when Niu Fu decided to attack the city, there was a shortage of food and grass in the army, which caused the morale of his men to fall into a serious downturn.

And at this time, the city of Lu County put on a posture of inviting the king into the urn.

Niu Fu sent scouts into the city to investigate, but the people who entered never returned, and that afternoon, someone in the army saw a crowd of people on the opposite Xiong'er Mountain.

This series of abnormal situations forced Niu Fu to be cautious again.

If it is a normal situation, when the bandits hear that officers and soldiers are coming to conquer, they will either flee upon hearing the news, or defend the city.

But the opponent didn't flee far and didn't defend the city, and it seemed that they had set up ambushes both in the city and on the mountain. Did the opponent think that he really had the strength to fight against his flying bear army?

Niu Fu does not seek meritorious deeds but seeks no faults. After all, there is not much merit in eliminating small bandits, but losing troops and generals because of this is a big bad thing. Therefore, until the food and grass are in place, he is going to continue to stick to the camp without changing the situation. .

Fortunately, the food transportation team is already on the way. I heard that his "good brother" Liu Yu personally escorted the food,
Liu Yu is good at scheming and is the new world's number one military master. With his help, he will be able to take down the bandits without bloodshed.

Thinking of this, Niu Fu became more determined in his strategy.

……

This morning Niu Fu was checking the documents in the Chinese army's large tent, when he suddenly heard a report from Deputy General Dong Chenglai that there was a change in Xiong'er Mountain, a large number of bandits were gathering at the foot of the mountain, and they were rushing towards their camp.

Niu Fu was startled when he heard this, the bandit soldiers were so bold that they took the initiative to attack, it seemed that this group of people were not ordinary bandits.

On the other hand, Niu Fu was also thankful for the previous strategy of holding back and not moving, thinking that the opponent had set up ambushes on the mountain and in the city, and if he attacked the city easily, he would be surrounded on both sides.

But this time the thieves took the initiative to attack, which meant that they gave up the previous ambush and were ready to fight the flying bear army head-on.

Niu Fu is still very confident in the fighting power of the Feixiong army. Even though the morale is not high at this time, he is still not afraid of the challenge of the gang of thieves when fighting head-on.
