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

The news that Liyang City had been captured shocked Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao, who originally wanted to recuperate in Yecheng for a while, had to regroup his soldiers and set up camp in Cangting to resist Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked at the intelligence in his hand and said slowly: "Jizhou's foundation is really profound! Yuan Shao just experienced a great defeat, but he was able to regroup 200,000 soldiers in such a short time."

Guo Jia laughed and said, “Now that thieves are everywhere, Jizhou is not safe.

Yuan Shao ignored the safety of the other four states and forcibly mobilized troops, apparently wanting to fight a decisive battle with his lord.

These 200,000 soldiers are probably all the elite troops in Yuan Shao's camp. If we defeat them, Yuan Shao will have no chance of turning the tables."

Liu Yu looked at the sand table in front of him and asked, "Does Feng Xiao have a plan in mind?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I do have a plan. Lure the snake out of its hole and set up an ambush from all sides."

After that, he described in detail the strategy he had thought of.

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and asked slowly, "Yuan Shao had just suffered a great defeat, why would he rashly pursue him?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Under normal circumstances, Yuan Shao would not pursue us, but the situation is completely different now. The soldiers Yuan Shao gathered this time are led by his three sons.

The position of Yuan Shao's crown prince was not yet decided, and both his eldest son Yuan Tan and youngest son Yuan Shang were determined to obtain the position.

Now that they have such a good opportunity in front of them and are facing the defeated soldiers, how can they not fight hard to be the first? "

Liu Yu smiled slightly, already understanding his intention. Although Guo Jia usually seemed to be disobedient to etiquette, he actually had a very deep understanding of human nature.

Knowing all the rules in the world but being able to ignore these rules is the confidence of a strong person.

Liu Yu saw this kind of confidence in Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao's words are very much in line with my opinion."

After the strategy was agreed upon, Liu Yu began to advance.

After everyone arrived, Liu Yu began to deploy orders.

"Yide, take my order. You bring 5,000 elite soldiers with me to challenge Yuan Shao's camp. In this battle, we can only lose, not win."

Zhang Fei walked forward and was about to take the order, but when he heard the last sentence, he was stunned on the spot.

"What does your uncle mean? If we are defeated, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to pursue us. Your uncle will also be in the battle line at that time. If we retreat rashly, I am afraid our life will be in danger!"

"Don't worry about my life. Zhongkang will be by my side."

"My lord, rest assured. As long as I am here, no one can get within ten steps of you. Anyone who comes within ten steps will be killed."

Xu Chu's firm and low voice sounded slowly.

Liu Yu was not worried about his own safety because for him, the plan was to escape.

Liu Yu's martial arts skills were mediocre and he had no chance of defeating his enemies, but his riding skills were as good as anyone present.

Liu Yu spent countless days and nights on horseback.

The reason why he worked hard to practice equestrianism was not because he loved it, but to escape.

Once he started to escape, Liu Yu believed that no one could defeat him except Red Hare.

"With Zhongkang by my side, I have nothing to worry about!

After Yide led his soldiers to retreat to the river bank, he began to arrange them in battle formation with their backs to the water, ready to resist the enemy.

"Arming the battle array with your back to the water has been a taboo in military strategy since ancient times. From ancient times to the present, there have been many battles in which Han Xin succeeded, but that was only used when there was no other choice.

We are in high spirits now, and we can defeat him directly by fighting him, so why put ourselves in danger?"

Guan Yu questioned the strategy of forming a battle array with its backs to the water. In his opinion, if the strategy failed, it would be difficult for the soldiers to survive.

Liu Yu patiently explained: "The purpose of forming a battle array with our backs to the water is to draw out all of Yuan Shao's main forces. Only when we are trapped in a desperate situation will the soldiers in their camp come out in full force.

In this battle, we must not only defeat Yuan Shao, but also kill all these soldiers. Only in this way can we make Yuan Shao completely lose confidence. "

After hearing this, Guan Yu said no more.

Liu Yu continued to issue orders.

"Bo Ping, you lie in ambush here. If they try to retreat, you will attack them. It will still be the same. You can only lose, not win. You must lead them to the river."

Gao Shun walked out quickly and bowed to receive the order.

Liu Yu continued to pace slowly, constantly pointing out the ambush locations on the sand table.

By the time the tasks were assigned, two hours had passed.

After Liu Yu reorganized his soldiers, he led them to Cangting. Along the way, the soldiers were in high spirits and marched in a neat and powerful manner.

Cangting is located on the bank of the Yellow River. Like Yanjin and Liyang, it is an important ferry. The geographical location here is dangerous and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Liu Yu stood on a high place and looked at Yuan Shao's camp from afar.

The enemy camp was huge and majestic, with flying flags and neat military formations.

He secretly admired in his heart: "Yuan Shao is indeed a local lord. Even now, his strength should not be underestimated."

Afterwards, Liu Yu began to arrange the battle formation.

He ordered his soldiers to line up in neat rows and prepare for battle.

At the same time, he sent Zhang Fei to challenge Yuan Shao's camp, trying to anger the other side and lure out the enemy.

After receiving the order, Zhang Fei immediately rode his warhorse to charge towards Yuan Shao's camp. Holding a 10-foot-long snake spear, he shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao, come out and die!" His voice was like thunder, echoing over the battlefield.

Not long after, Yuan Shao came out surrounded by his army.

Liu Yu looked at Yuan Shao from afar and found that his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were dull. It was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of energy and mind because of the great defeat many days ago.

Zhang Fei rode forward, pointed directly at Yuan Shao and shouted, "Yuan Shao, I am Zhang Yide from Yan! Who dares to fight me?"

Zhang Fei stood in front of the tent with great dignity, his aura as powerful as an unshakable mountain.

Hearing Zhang Fei's call, Yuan Shao managed to cheer himself up.

"Who dares to step forward to fight?" He looked around and asked. However, the generals around him looked at each other and no one dared to respond.

They were well aware of Zhang Fei's bravery and no one wanted to take the risk easily.

Just as Yuan Shao was feeling slightly angry, a voice broke the silence.

"Father, I am willing to lead 10,000 elite troops. If I cannot defeat Zhang Fei in this battle, I will be beheaded." Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Shao with a firm gaze. The soldiers behind him lined up neatly with high morale. These cavalrymen were the elite of Yuan Shao's army. They had made many achievements on the battlefield and were well-known.

Before Yuan Shao could respond, Yuan Shang at the side couldn't wait to speak up: "Father, what you said is wrong. Why do we need 10,000 elite soldiers to deal with a small Zhang Fei? With my ability, I only need to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to cut off Zhang Fei's head and present it to you."

Yuan Shang patted his chest confidently and assured, his eyes revealing a hint of pride and arrogance.
