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

Zhang Fei led 20,000 soldiers and served as the vanguard.

Ma Chao and Xu Chu each led 10,000 elite soldiers and were stationed on the left and right wings.

Liu Yu personally led 60,000 soldiers and sat in the central army.

Each phalanx is a mixed configuration of cavalry and infantry.

Such a configuration can not only strengthen the stability of the camp, but also maximize the mobility of the team.

"set off!"

Following Liu Yu's order, the team began to move quickly.

There were several carriages accompanying the trip, but Liu Yu did not ride in one. Instead, he rode on a white horse. The breeze blew, and his hair moved slightly, making him look indescribably free and easy.

After coming to this era, Liu Yu has gone through a long process from being afraid of riding horses to becoming an elite rider today.

This process is boring and tedious, it is just repetition over and over again.

If someone asked Liu Yu what techniques he had for riding a horse at a gallop, Liu Yu would reply with a few words: It's nothing special, it's just practice that makes perfect!

On a carriage, Guo Jia looked at the slowly moving team with a thoughtful look on his face.

The team was moving too slowly. At this speed, they might be able to get behind Yuan Shu before Lu Bu collapsed, but it would obviously not be sudden.

"My lord, this speed is too slow. We must speed up."

Liu Yu, who was galloping, heard Guo Jia's words, reined in his roaring horse, and came to the front of the carriage.

"What's Fengxiao's plan?"

"You can order Yide to lead a small group of cavalrymen to get behind Yuan Shu as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack. This will kill Yuan Shu on a large scale."

Liu Yuwei pondered for a moment and finally understood the reason.

Now, the large-scale march will definitely be heard by the scouts sent by Yuan Shu.

Once Yuan Shu knew the news of the march into Xuzhou, he would deploy in advance.

Once he arrives in Xuzhou, a stalemate will occur, which is somewhat different from the original intention discussed in Yuzhou.

"How about this, I will lead the cavalry to hide during the day and travel at night, trying to avoid Yuan Shu's scouts, and Fengxiao, you lead the army to move slowly."

"Don't worry, lord. Not only will I advance slowly, but I will also make a big announcement that you are going to Xuzhou to rescue Lu Bu."

The two smiled at each other, with a hint of cunning in their eyes.

Liu Yu began to gather all the cavalry and began to advance rapidly towards Xuzhou.

On the trail leading to Xuzhou, every night when night fell, thousands of cavalrymen would gallop on the road like ghosts.

……

……

Lu Bu has been a little depressed recently because the gap between his military strength and that of Yuan Shu is too big. He originally wanted to rely on the terrain of Gushan to block Yuan Shu's attack.

Who would have thought that after three days of fruitless attacks, Yuan Shu would actually abandon his martial ethics and cut off his own water supply.

In the past two days, Yuan Shu has not launched a single attack. It seems that he is planning to use the water resources to trap himself to death on the mountain.

Lu Bu looked at the soldier's cracked lips and a trace of pity appeared on his face.

"Marquis Wen, Uncle Liu will not show up. Break out. If you don't, after waiting for two more days, even without Yuan Shu taking action, the soldiers will no longer have the strength to fight."

Although the water supply on the mountain was cut off, they were able to hold on until now thanks to the remaining water stored in the previous few days.

But now the water storage on the mountain is almost exhausted. If we don’t take action now, we will really have no chance.

After the water supply was cut off, Lu Bu led his men down the mountain and prepared to break out. However, just when he reached halfway up the mountain, he was attacked by dense arrows and was forced to retreat.

No matter how brave and invincible Lu Bu was, he could only retreat gradually in the face of the endless rain of arrows.

"Uncle Liu is known for his benevolence and righteousness, but I never thought he was a fraud."

Lu Bu was very angry. He had now entered a desperate situation. If he forced a surprise attack, there would only be one possibility, that is, all the soldiers who had followed him in his battles would be killed or wounded.

When he thought of this, he was filled with sadness, which was why he had been staying here, waiting for Liu Yu's rescue.

At this point, he has had much time to hesitate and must make a choice as soon as possible.

"Pass my order, the whole army will launch a surprise attack at three o'clock tonight."

……

……

Unlike Lu Bu's bad mood, Yuan Shu was in a very happy mood. It wouldn't be long before Lu Bu, known as the bravest general in the world, would be trapped to death on this mountain by himself.

In order to prevent Lu Bu from breaking through, he had made complete preparations. He used shield-armored soldiers to surround the hill into an iron barrel formation, and had archers ambushed all around. As long as Lu Bu dared to appear, he would be pierced by thousands of arrows.

Killing Lu Bu and seizing Xuzhou will be enough to further enhance my reputation in this land.

By then, heroes from all over the world will surely come to join him, and his great cause that will last for thousands of years will soon be realized.

Unlike Yuan Shu who was excited, Yang Hong was a little worried. Uncle Liu had been preparing for war in Yuzhou, but had not taken any action yet. This in itself was a very strange thing.

Uncle Liu has a sharp eye and broad knowledge. How could he not see the opportunity for battle that has arisen this time?

But recently, scouts brought news that Uncle Liu's army is still in Yuzhou, and the direction of their march seems to be Xuzhou. However, based on the current marching speed, it will take at least three days to reach this place.

In three days, the opportunity was already gone. These three days were enough to kill Lu Bu and capture Xuzhou.

By then, we will deploy our troops, take advantage of the situation and defeat Liu Bei, and there will be no rivals in the Central Plains.

Yang Hong had been thinking about why Uncle Liu did this. The first reason he thought of was that Uncle Liu wanted to use Yuan Shu to get rid of Lu Bu.

This is a very sufficient reason. When Lu Bu was defeated in Yanzhou and had no way to go, Emperor Liu Bei put aside their past grudges and kindly took Lu Bu in. However, Lu Bu not only did not think of repaying the favor, but also took advantage of Emperor Liu Bei's march south to defend and sent troops to seize Xuzhou.

How could Emperor Liu tolerate such shameless behavior?

But he felt vaguely uneasy, but he had no idea what exactly was wrong.

Suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

A strategy to confuse the enemy?

It is possible that based on our previous understanding of Uncle Liu, it is completely consistent with his style of doing things.

"My lord, something terrible has happened." Yang Hong, who had just entered the tent, was very anxious.

"What's the matter, sir? Why are you so flustered?"

"My lord, I suspect that the soldiers who appeared in Yuzhou were a trick of Emperor Liu to confuse the enemy. The real forces of Emperor Liu may have already arrived in Xuzhou."

"Sir, don't worry. I have sent out numerous scouts on the road through Xuzhou. Once they find any trace of Uncle Liu, they will come back to report."

"What if Uncle Liu deliberately avoided it?" The doubt in Yang Hong's eyes became more and more serious, as if he wanted to see through the fog and see through it all.

"Sir, you have been in the military for a long time. You should know that it is impossible to completely hide the whereabouts of a large number of soldiers on a march."

"Having said that, I'm still a little worried. What if Uncle Liu sends out cavalry to launch a surprise attack?"

"A sneak attack?" Yuan Shu laughed, his voice full of pride. "If he dares to send someone here, I will make sure he never returns."
