Before Xu Shu and Liu Bei set out from Dingze, the messenger soldiers who came from Wei Yan's camp had already caught up with Xu Shu at night and presented Wei Yan's secret message to Xu Shu.

According to Wei Yan's description, several envoys who claimed to be "Liu Zhang's subordinates" were found at the crossing near Jianning. They seemed to want to go to Jianning, but they found that they actually ran into Wei Yan's ambush, and If they met the barbarians, they immediately started resisting without hesitation. As a result, most of them died on the spot, leaving only one or two alive. After the interrogation, they did not survive.

However, oral confessions showed that these people were not necessarily the so-called "Liu Zhang's men", but had left under Li Hui's command, and the message these people wanted to convey to the Yi people was that Xu Shu had already commanded the army from Ding Ze marches into the army...

Wei Yan then sent a few people to pretend to be these so-called "envoys", and then entered Jianning, and deliberately delayed Xu Shu's departure for a few days, making the Yi people in Jianning think that Xu Shu had just set off. Soon, Wei Yan's own overall combat concept was also attached.

In fact, it's very simple, just four words, use the strategy to get the best of you.

Assuming that these soldiers are under Li Hui, then Li Hui's intention must be to pretend that Xu Shu's army is very powerful, and then Sichuan and Shu are already empty. On the one hand, he allows the Yi people from Jianning to attack Chengdu, and on the other hand, he also creates for himself An opportunity to take advantage...

Wei Yan did the opposite and told the Yi people in Jianning that Xu Shu led the army with only a small number of elite soldiers. The surprise element was greater, but the frontal force did not decrease. In this way, the Yi people were likely to Hui will lead his troops out from the Western Mountains, which will defeat Li Hui's strategy. On the other hand, he can also create a window for Wei Yan to attack.

Xu Shu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

This Wei Yan Wei Wen Chang!

If it weren't for this period of time, Xu Shu had known Wei Yan to some extent, and to a certain extent, Xu Shu was Wei Yan's recommender. Wei Yan also respected Wei Yan very much. Otherwise, just relying on this secret letter would definitely make other people who are not very familiar with Wei Yan. The boss who knew Wei Yan was furious.

According to strategy, there is nothing wrong with Wei Yan's idea, but it is just a bit misplaced. Just like Wei Yan's emphasis on advancing troops from Ziwu Valley in history, there is no big problem with the overall strategy, and it is possible to implement it. After all, Wei Yan has been in Hanzhong for many years and must have explored the terrain many times. It is impossible to say that there is not much certainty, but such a strategy in Wei Yan's history is equivalent to asking Brother Zhu to make a feint attack to cover him?

As long as he felt that the strategy was feasible, Wei Yan didn't care about the boss's face issues, or he didn't consider this issue at all. At that time, Brother Zhu was also facing many doubts in Sichuan and Sichuan, and he urgently needed a victory of his own to prove that Brother Zhu had good leadership skills. After all, Brother Zhu in history did not want to be in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. So amazing, so when Mr. Luo described Brother Zhu's rejection of Wei Yan's proposal in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seemed very arrogant and unreasonable. He simply covered it up by saying that the success rate was not high and that Brother Zhu was cautious by nature.

But now Xu Shu is indeed not like Brother Zhu in history, who urgently needs a victory to prove himself. At the same time, Xu Shu stands at a higher angle and sees the mystery of the so-called "messenger" more clearly.

Xu Shu also believed in Wei Yan's judgment. Those so-called "Liu Zhang's men" were most likely faked by others. Although the confession stated that they were sent by Li Hui, Xu Shu seemed to have some flaws.

Because Li Hui is also on the opposite side of the Jianning Yi people to a certain extent, unless Li Hui can be sure that his own plan can be implemented, there is no point in sending such an envoy.

After all, no one can guarantee whether these Yi people will be obedient and follow the messenger's message to attack Chengdu from Jianning. If they find Xu Shu's temptation here is greater, they might lead their troops to deal with Xu Shu first. Then take advantage of the trend and march into central Sichuan...

Therefore, from this perspective, Li Hui's move may not be half successful, and there is not a better way, such as directly announcing that Xu Shu has arrived at the front line, joining forces with Wei Yan, and then waiting for the Yi people to pay attention. When facing the front, Li Hui's sudden attack from Jianning Xishan, etc. are all good choices. Why must we use this strategy that has a low success rate and is also accompanied by a considerable degree of risk?

unless……

Xu Shu turned his doubts to Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei has been verbose in the past two days, even talking about the trivial details of Ding Ze. He only did not mention the matter of Li Hui or related matters. This in itself is a big doubt. At the same time, Liu Bei It is actually very easy to recruit people under Li Hui.

After Li Hui's defeat, most of the soldiers must have dispersed, so even if Liu Bei gave Li Hui some reinforcements, it was impossible for Li Hui to completely recognize all the soldiers. Several soldiers left the ranks without being discovered by Li Hui...

However, the problem is that all matters are suspicions and do not directly point to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei gave some soldiers, but these soldiers became Li Hui's subordinates and had no direct relationship with Liu Bei. It was like Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou. Although there were many fishermen in troubled waters, the blame was naturally placed on Cao Cao. , who asked Cao Cao to take the lead?

Then these "messengers" are people who call themselves Liu Zhang. Even if they are fake, they have to be proven to be fake, and this obviously cannot be transferred to Liu Bei...

So when Xu Shu got to the end, he just drove one sheep or a group of sheep, and slowly headed towards Jianning with Liu Bei and others.

If you want to deal with Liu Bei, you need solid evidence.

Or prolong the time until everyone has forgotten about Liu Bei.

The accusation of "unfounded" is not something that can be used casually. Just like Cao Cao, even though he already wanted to kill Xu You, the loudmouthed person every day, he still needed to cooperate with a smile on the surface, or even go around Xu You. You left, until after killing Xu You, Cao Cao still sighed in public.

Liu Bei is like the cornerstone under the throne of the Cavalry General. Other cornerstones are like Baibo, Southern Xiongnu, Western Qiang Xianbei, etc. When they are added up piece by piece, the throne of the high-ranking hussar general comes into being, and Liu Bei's stone has just been laid on it. Soon, many people could see that even if the hussar general sitting on it knew that the stone was uneven and wobbly, he could not remove it immediately and could only take his time.

Otherwise, it would be like Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu really thought that the stone was good, so he pulled it directly to his feet. But once he felt that it didn't fit, he quickly kicked it out. As a result, Yuan Shu seemed to be everyone's "father", but this happened later. The "son" turned against him the fastest again.

The Yi people's outpost quickly appeared in front of Xu Shu and others, and then the encounter between the two sides began.

Xu Shu stood on the hillside and looked at the Yi people who were jumping between the mountains and forests like locusts. His face was calm and there was no trace of panic at all.

Liu Bei glanced secretly, thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I would like to be a vanguard and defeat the current thieves!" "The number of the Yi people is not very large, but it is not very small. A rough estimate is that it is about three thousand. However, because the fighting power of the Yi people is generally not high, Liu Bei is not able to fight in a head-on battle." He is worried about how much harm these barbarians will cause him, and even if they cause some damage, it may not be a bad thing for Liu Bei...

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Xuan De has this intention, which is good!" He is just a thief, no need for Xuande to take action..." Immediately, he ordered Zong Wei, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, to bring some soldiers to intercept him.

Liu Bei was about to say something more, but seeing that Xu Shu was resolute and the war was approaching, he had no choice but to shut up and step aside.

Zong Wei, a person from Sichuan and Shu, was originally just a young Cao Cao in Chengdu. Later, when Xu Shu arrived in Chengdu, he found that he was quite organized and knew military affairs. In addition, he had a minor surname and had no connection with the major gentry in Chengdu. Just after the inspection, he was gradually promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in the Lieutenant Colonel, helping to handle miscellaneous matters.

Far away from Xu Shu, Gao Ding and Liu Fan, who had just caught up, were also looking at Xu Shu's military appearance and frowning slightly.

The two sides were in an encounter, but the encounter here was not unprepared. Then the two people suddenly bumped into each other at the corner of the toilet. They were stunned for a while before saying "Have you eaten?" and then replying "You are coming too." It means that neither side has any fortifications to rely on or bonuses, and basically can only rely on the fighting ability of the soldiers to fight.

The soldiers of the Yi people...

Look at Xu Shu's soldiers again...

What is more irritating than a human being, most of the time.

Although Xu Shu's vanguard soldiers did not have long spears or big shields, they each had a delicate small steel shield, and a slightly shorter sword. They were almost very similar to the swords used by the Yi people, but they were sharper and very suitable for fighting in battles. As they were chopping in the mountains and forests, the armor on their bodies was also radiating with cold light. Some archers and crossbowmen in the back row had already inserted their arrows and crossbows on the ground in front of them, so they could pick them up and shoot as quickly as possible.

"Fight or not?" Liu Fan asked.

Gao Ding glanced sideways at Liu Fan, "What, you won't fight for it this time?" 』

Liu Fan laughed for a moment and said with a smile: "Isn't it true that Alliance Leader Gao doesn't dare anymore?" 』

The two men snorted in unison, and after a moment of silence, Liu Fan spoke again: "We still have to fight, but my men and horses are not suitable to attack now?" 』

Gao Ding rolled his eyes and had to admit that if he wanted to trick Xu Shu, he really couldn't expose all the cards at once, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Then I'll do it for a while! 』

The Yi people moved out with great momentum. Not only were they making noises along the mountain road, but many people even climbed up the mountain ridge on one side, trying to bypass Xu Shu's array on the mountain road and go to the side to carry out the attack. blow.

The swords he wields are long or short, black or gray.

There are noisy sounds, some high and some low, some near and some far away.

There were even Yi people who, according to their habits, surrounded a person kneeling on the ground, jumping and shouting, as if they had obtained some kind of buff, roaring loudly, and charging forward!

While Zong Wei directed his soldiers to deploy fortifications and defense lines as quickly as possible, he also asked his soldiers to maintain their formation in the front. In the battle of infantry, the battle formation naturally takes the lead. A large group of people like the Yi people rush up in a chaotic manner. It looks huge, but is it actually...

"Front row ranging!" ” Zong Wei shouted loudly.

"One hundred and fifty steps!" ” The soldiers observing on the front line loudly reported the distance.

Zong Wei shouted: "Hold on!" 』

"One hundred and twenty steps!" 』

"Hold the crossbow!" The bow is half open! 』

"One hundred steps!" A hundred steps! 』

"Strong wind!" Zongwei shouted, "Great wind!" 』

The Yi people who had conquered Li Hui's camp finally realized that there were differences among the Han soldiers. There were originally many soldiers in Sichuan and Shu who were good at shooting. After they had been strengthened with weapons and equipment, they were no longer Being stingy with the loss of arrows and crossbows, the lethality produced is astonishing...

The barbarians rushing towards the mountain road had no way to dodge, and there was no better defensive equipment. The only dozen or so wooden shields may have a certain shielding effect, but the more barbarians were unable to do anything. No, I can only rely on the lucky value given by three days to avoid arrows and crossbows. Most of them fell on the mountain road like chopped tree branches, rolling down the slope, and some just fell down. It fell into the mountain stream.

The screams kept coming one after another.

The Yi people who were originally climbing on the mountain ridge saw the miserable situation in the mountain path and subconsciously hesitated. They didn't know whether they should continue moving forward or stop first...

But not all opponents will wait honestly. After alleviating the pressure on the front, Zong Wei ordered the crossbowmen to continue suppressing the mountain road, and let the archers start to freely aim and shoot at the Yi people who climbed up the mountain ridge. .

Some Yi people relied on their archery skills to hide behind rocks and trees, and started shooting at the archers commanded by Zong Wei. However, inadvertently, the originally scattered Yi people lost their impact, and many of them lost their impact. The Yi people hiding among the rocks and shrubs on the ridge found that after they had unknowingly shot all the arrows they carried, they noticed that the other Yi people on the ridge and in the mountain road had lost their ability to charge. With courage, I began to leave the scattered corpses and retreat...

Liu Bei looked at the Yi people who were retreating far away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a pity..."

But at the next moment, Liu Bei suddenly thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "It's broken!" It's really bad now! 』
