Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Liu Yu had been in Huaiyin City for ten days. During these ten days, he had done one thing: training his troops on a large scale.

For a while, the Huaiyin city was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of swords and horses, making it extremely lively.

The soldiers' shouts of killing were deafening, and they spoke in unison.

Capture Jiujiang and capture Yuan Shu alive.

……

……

When the scout brought this news to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was drinking honey water.

The honey water, which had been extremely sweet, suddenly lost its taste.

Yuan Shu's heart was in turmoil, and he kept coughing. He almost spat out his last mouthful of blood.

What's going on? Capture me alive?

Did Emperor Liu get the offensive and defensive relationships wrong? Now I am leading the troops to attack Xuzhou, not you leading the troops to attack Jiujiang.

Uncle Liu is bluffing.

This was Yuan Shu’s first reaction after he calmed down.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Liu Huangshu was good at using troops, so could there be any treacherous plot?

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shu still couldn't figure it out, so he sent out a large number of scouts to get information.

As the scouts returned one after another, Yuan Shu's face became more and more solemn.

"How many soldiers are there in Huaiyin City now? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"My lord, Huaiyin City is heavily guarded. There is a sentry every ten steps and a patrol every five steps at Liu Huangshu's martial arts training ground. It is really impossible to approach. I heard this news while fighting on the periphery."

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false. It's such a simple truth, and you still want me to teach you?" Yuan Shu's eyes seemed as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month, extremely cold.

"My Lord, please calm down. I will go back and investigate. I must find out the military strength of Huaiyin City."

The scout looked at Yuan Shu's murderous eyes and thought about what had happened in the past few days. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and fell to the ground, making a dripping sound.

"Poke him out and chop off his head. Send this message to the three armies: for those who are unwilling to serve with all their heart, this man is an example."

The soldiers guarding on both sides heard Yuan Shu's order, walked forward quickly, took the scouts with them and walked out.

"My Lord, spare my life."

The scouts' cries for mercy were heard inside and outside the tent, but Yuan Shu had a blank expression on his face, looking cold and serious, as if he hadn't heard them at all.

With a scream, the scout's head rolled to the ground like a ripe watermelon.

Ji Ling looked at Yuan Shu's gloomy face and felt a chill on his back.

This was the seventh wave of scouts killed by Yuan Shu within ten days.

According to the previous plan, at this point in time, they should have already deployed their troops outside Xia Pi City, or have already broken through Xia Pi City, and would not be trapped in Xuyi like they are now.

"Send someone to investigate again. No matter what the cost, we must find out the truth. Otherwise, we will end up like that person just now."

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and his tone was filled with endless murderous intent.

Yuan Shu, who had been trapped in Xuyi City, was on the verge of losing his patience. If he had not been afraid of Liu Yu's treachery, he would have led his troops to set off long ago.

Looking at Yuan Shu, who was on the verge of a frenzy, Ji Ling's eyes were solemn. After a moment, he slowly said, "My Lord, I think there is something fishy about this matter. If Emperor Liu really had so many troops, how could he have been training in Huaiyin City all this time? He would have sent troops to attack us long ago."

"General Ji's words make sense. I also suspect that Uncle Liu is deliberately creating confusion, but when I think about how cunning he is, I feel uneasy because I can't get any accurate information."

Yes, Ji Ling also understood this truth. In the battle of Yuzhou, Liu Yu left such a deep impression on them that no one dared to act rashly without absolute certainty.

"My lord, don't worry. We will send more scouts over. As long as Huaiyin City is short of soldiers, the truth will be revealed in no time."

"I hope so. If I can't determine the number of people in Huaiyin City, I don't mind taking some risks."

……

……

At the moment when Yuan Shu was extremely annoyed, Liu Yu, who was in Huaiyin, also did not show much joy on his face.

During this period, although he had people create false alarms to make Yuan Shu stop attacking, this method was just an illusion after all.

Once Yuan Shu loses his patience, he will certainly send people to attack. It will probably be difficult to stop him from advancing now.

If you want to make Yuan Shu afraid and afraid to attack, you have to defeat Yuan Shu in one battle so that he will completely believe you.

"Zhongkang, secretly transfer all 10,000 elite troops here." Liu Yu looked at the sand table and said slowly.

"My lord, we came to Huaiyin from Xiapi with only 10,000 people. If we transfer them all here, Huaiyin will become an empty city. If Yuan Shu gets to the city, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."

"Huaiyin City's strategy of falsely attacking an enemy can only hold up for a while. Sooner or later, Yuan Shu will see through it. When his army attacks, Huaiyin will be lost as well."

Faced with such a situation, Liu Yu was helpless. At this point, there was no better solution. The tactic of feigning an attack had already held off Yuan Shu for some time. If he wanted to continue to be in a stalemate with Yuan Shu, there was only one way, and that was to take the initiative to attack.

"First, let's deliberately reveal our army's strengths and weaknesses, so that the scouts sent by Yuan Shu can find out. His actions have been delayed by us for so long. Once he gets the news that we are weak, how can he calm down? He will definitely come to seize Huaiyin City at all costs. Once he loses his mind, it will be our chance.

This place is densely wooded and has a dangerous terrain, which is particularly suitable for an ambush. Have the soldiers prepare more flammable objects. As soon as Yuan Shu leads his men here, set them on fire. We only have one chance. If we cannot inflict heavy damage to Yuan Shu's main force, Huaiyin City will also be lost."

Xu Chu nodded. He understood this principle. This time he must have revealed his family background to Yuan Shu. If he could not inflict a heavy blow to him, he would surely launch a crazy counterattack.

Given the current situation in Xuzhou, it would probably be difficult to resist Yuan Shu's all-out attack.

"My lord, rest assured. I will definitely wipe out Yuan Shu's main force. If I have the chance, I will cut off Yuan Shu's head and send it to you, my lord."

"Zhongkang's ambition is commendable, but you must not be careless." Liu Yu smiled faintly, his words full of reminders, "Yuan Shu is also a hero of the time, and he has many capable and skilled soldiers under his command. If he is in trouble, there will definitely be people who will fight to the death to protect him. How can he be easily killed by you?

Your mission this time is not to defeat Yuan Shu, but to severely damage his elite forces in one battle. You must not put the cart before the horse and lose your sense of proportion."

This plan to ambush Yuan Shu is of vital importance. It is related to the future direction of Xuzhou, so Liu Yu has to be cautious.

"I'll take note of your order, my lord."

Seeing Xu Chu nodding continuously, Liu Yu's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

In addition to Xu Chu's bravery in battle, there was another thing that made Liu Yu very satisfied, and that was that he was very clear in executing orders. As long as Liu Yu arranged something, he would carry it out without any compromise.
