Views:

Three days later, Liu Xun, Pang Shiyuan, Zhu Rong, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others were discussing matters in Liu Xun’s account of the Chinese Army. Zhu Rong was still playing with knives, supervising everyone to think about problems and make ideas, Pang Tong looked down at the map with a sad face, and kept gesticulating with his fingers.

After a long while, Liu Xun smiled slightly and said: "Now Meng Huo is forcing Kunming Lake to establish a camp. Our army can't advance and can only stand up to each other. I don't know what to do?"

Pang Shiyuan pondered for a moment, and said: "You can lure Menghuo to cross the lake and strike it halfway."

Liu Xun shook his head and said: "The boy Meng Huo reportedly read half of The Art of War by Sun Tzu. As the saying goes, half of the Analects can rule the world. After reading half of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, he can command millions of people. Invincible, victorious, fighting, attacking, and conquering. He will not be easily fooled by this half-strike strategy." Looking back at Zhu Rong, he said, "Little sister, stop playing with knives, talk about yours. Great opinion."

Zhu Rong didn't notice, and still fiddled with the throwing knife in his hand, and said, "Hehe, you know that you have an idea by looking at your thief's smiling face. Don't sell it, just give it an order."

Liu Xun said, "You still need to get this idea. I'll listen to it and make a fight. Then it's fine to sweep the battlefield, hehe!"

Pang Shiyuan said: "The lord is overly modest. The reason why the lord was able to capture Meng Huo last time was due to the lord's work. This time I am about to listen to the lord's opinion and learn to learn."

Liu Xun smiled and said: "We have a lot of people here, so we should discuss it carefully." Heart said: "I'm all told to make decisions by myself, uncle, I have a headache. How can I have to give you headaches? This is called blessed sharing. , If there is a problem, we should have a headache, everyone has a headache!"

Pang Shiyuan said: "Now that there is a confrontation across the river, neither side has a battlefield. If things go on like this, it will consume food. It is better to retreat temporarily and get Meng to cross the river to chase. We may attack halfway or set ambush to wait for the enemy. Meng Huo bravely advances. I think I should be fooled."

Liu Xun smiled slightly and said: "Good plan! Shi Yuan, you immediately draw up a battle book and send General Zilong across the river to meet Meng for a decisive battle tomorrow."

Pang Shiyuan nodded and said: "Okay." Zhu Rong stepped back when he heard the words. The brush and inkstone and other objects that he fetched from time to time were placed on the case, and he rubbed the ink for Pang Shiyuan. Pang Shiyuan picked up the pen, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no battlefield now. I don't know how the lord plans to fight?"

Liu Xun supported it with his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "I say something like this, you write a sentence, if there is something wrong in the middle, you immediately help me correct it."

Pang Shiyuan said quickly: "Don't dare, I will write exactly what the lord said, to ensure that the word is correct."

Liu Xun nodded and said, "As the saying goes:'He who comes is not afraid, and he who is afraid does not come.' If the general wants to fight with me, I should retreat to a place and let the general cross the lake and set up a camp for a decisive battle! If he refuses to cross the lake, the general retires and lets me cross the lake in order to invite the war. If I don’t advance and don’t retreat, it will cost me much money, what is it good for? Now Liu Xun is standing in front of the lake, waiting for the general’s order, please The general made a quick decision!"

Liu Xun said one sentence, Pang Shiyuan wrote one, and then read it carefully. He shook his head and whispered softly for a long time. Fang said: "Good article, the main official document is really good."

Generals such as Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also praised Liu Xun for being both civil and military, possessing both political integrity and ability, and all the words of exquisite beauty were used on Liu Xun's body.

Seeing that everyone praised him, Liu Xun was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "If Shiyuan thinks it's okay, then go to Menghuo's army and start the battle."

Pang Shiyuan picked up the silk book, dried the ink on it, folded it and put it in his sleeve, and replied: "Yes!"

Menghuo camp on the south shore of Kunming Lake, Menghuo also suffered from not being able to advance, and was negotiating with Meng You in the Chinese army's big account. During the discussion, a savage soldier came to report: "Report! Someone from the camp on the other side is here to write a war!"

Meng Huo waved his hand and said: "It's just right! The swords and axe are placed on both sides of the tent to welcome us!" The brutal soldier replied, "Yes!"

After a while, before Zhao Zilong came to the big tent, he saw twenty great men neatly lined up on the left and right sides of the tent, and everyone held their big swords high, fierce and evil. Zhao Zilong was not afraid, and walked in with his head high. He did not bow when he saw Meng Huo, staring at him and sneered slightly.

Meng Huo asked sternly, "Who are you and why didn't you worship me when you saw me?"

Zhao Yun said loudly: "I am the lieutenant general Zhao Yun of the Great Han Ping, and the angels of the Kingdom do not worship the lord of the vassals!"

Meng You was furious when he heard the words, drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted: "Bold Chinese, how dare you be so rude, I'll kill you." After that, he wanted to move forward.

Zhao Zilong looked as usual, smiled slightly at Meng You, and did not speak. With a big wave of his hand, Meng Huo said to Meng You: "Virtuous brother, don't be reckless, retreat!" Meng You glared at Zhao Zilong with a look of anger when he heard this, and withdrew the knife into its sheath, and stepped aside.

Meng Huo recognized that this person was the general who was pursuing him on the battlefield, but he held back his anger and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Yun took out the battle book from his sleeves, held it in both hands, and handed it forward, saying: "I am here to ask the battle period. Please make a decision early."

Meng Huo took a look, frowned, handed the battle book to Meng You, and said to Zhao Zilong: "Liu Xun deceived me and didn't dare to cross the lake to fight him? Go tell him..."

Meng You hurriedly read the letter, winked at Meng Huo, and followed his mouth to Zhao Zilong. Meng Huo knew the meaning at a glance, waved his hand, and said to Zhao Yun: "You go down first, and I will declare you in the account later."

Zhao Zilong smiled slightly and replied: "Yes!" Turned and walked back.

After Zhao Yun went down, Meng Huo looked at Meng You and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Meng You said: "This Liu Xun and his military divisions are all scheming. Don't be fooled by your brother!"

Meng Huo nodded slowly, looked sideways out of the account, thoughtfully, and stopped talking. After a long while, Fang said: "Well, if it weren't for your reminder, it was almost a bad thing. He wanted to entice me to cross the lake halfway. Cross hit it."

Meng Cheng said, "The Han people have never been faithful and dedicated to using tricks. If he takes advantage of me to strike, I will advance and retreat, and it will be messed up. It is better to retreat from our army and let them cross the lake, so that I am the master, he As a guest, won't you win?"

Meng Huo nodded and said, "Good idea." After finishing speaking, he looked out of the account and shouted: "Quote, see you from Liu Xun's messenger!"

Zhao Yun held his head high, and Meng Huo smiled and said, "Go tell Liu Xun, I owe him one favor, and I should let him again this time. Tomorrow our army will retreat for thirty miles and let him go first."

Zhao Yun looked at Meng Huo and said, "I heard that at this time in autumn and winter, poison gathers in the lake. You can't cross the day, but can only cross the night. I don't know if this is possible?"

Meng Huo was shocked when he heard the words. He swept Zhao Yun's face like a cold electric gaze, and said: "The legend of the mountains and wilds, I don't know it very well." Can't you cross day by day?"

Zhao Yun said: "Our army has decided to cross the night and tomorrow. We also ask the army to retreat and let our army cross the lake for a decisive battle."

Meng Huo rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "This fool actually revealed the time of his appointment. God helped me. This time Liu Xun is dead." "Liu Xun decides to fight at night?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "The lord said that he will fight the general upright this time, and make a decisive battle with the general. Therefore, after crossing the lake, he will fight the general decisively. Why is the general afraid of night battles?"

When Meng Huo heard this, he was very dissatisfied, and said casually: "How can I be afraid of night battles, now that our army is fully prepared, I am not afraid of you tricks you, you can fight any decisive battle you want, and I will accompany you at any time."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, said goodbye, and turned around to leave the account. In the return camp, I was about to report back, but I saw Liu Xun dozing off. Zhao Yun was inconvenient to interrupt, so he wanted to turn around and leave. Suddenly Liu Xun called out, "Zilong, please come in, what's the status of the envoy?"

Zhao Yun entered the account and said, "Meng Huo intends to retreat and let our army cross the lake."

Liu Xun smiled and said, "Well, tomorrow morning our army will cross the lake to fight Meng Huo in a decisive battle."

Zhao Yun said: "The lord doesn't know anything, Zuo Junshi told me that in the autumn and winter, Kunming Lake cannot be crossed by day, but by night..."

Liu Xun patted his forehead and said hurriedly, "Yes, it is true. I forgot for a while, and almost broke something big."

Zhao Yun said: "The Lord takes care of everything on the day. This is a trivial matter. I have made an appointment with Meng Huo. To cross the river tomorrow night, he will let our army cross the river when he introduces it." Zhao Yun paused, and then asked, "The military master is really good. Are you planning to fight Meng Huo dignifiedly?"

Liu Xun sneered: "I'm not so stupid. I'm not so stupid to hurt the enemy by 10,000 and self-inflict 8,000. I don't do anything. Hmph, this old boy Meng Huo is also dead when he retreats, and he is also dead when he advances. It's all dead, haha!"

Zhao Yun asked: "How does the lord plan to deal with the enemy?"

Liu Xun smiled slightly and said, "You call the other people, and I will explain it together."

……

At three shifts the next day, Liu Xun passed the order to make a lineup. After a short while, the drums of the Han army were in bursts, and the rumbling drums spread along the lake to the Menghuo army. The Luma that Liu Xun rode on was wearing golden armor, with a cloud sword around his waist, and a Beidou spear in his hand, standing in front of the shore, full of domineering. Liu Xun exclaimed: "I'm going to cross the river. Meng Huo agreed to turn around and flash people. You and I will fight to the death on the other side. I personally go into battle and fight with you for three hundred rounds."

Meng Huo heard this rant without being ashamed, and dismissed it, indicating his unbelief. Meng You looked worried, and said, "This kid doesn't seem to have a mere fame. I have never learned his martial arts. I wonder if he is good?"

Meng Huo dismissed it and said, "80% of this kid is blowing up the air. Even if he has some martial arts, how can he be my opponent? Besides, our army will retreat first, and when he is halfway through, we will attack him again. I see him. What else is there?"

Meng Xiong nodded his head, Meng Huo waved his hand and told the three armies to retreat. After a short time, he heard the noise and made a loud noise. Looking back, it was the Han army who was crossing the lake with a bamboo raft. After another moment, Meng Huo saw that the number of Han army crossing the lake was not very large, only a thousand people. He frowned and said, "What the hell is Liu Xun doing? He wants to use these thousand people to fight with me?"

Meng You asked, "Can you kill it?"

Meng Huo hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, hesitated and said: "Wait." After speaking, he sent the three armies to continue retreating...
