Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 925
Chapter 925
“Haha, Zhou Yu’s child really has no intention to fight, and Fuyi City still goes down without a fight, so what are you afraid of?” Liu Pan laughed.
After going down to the capital city of Liang without a fight, Liu Panjun’s army pointed directly at Fuyi City. As a result, the defenders in Fuyi City also opened the gates and left. Therefore, Fuyi City also fell into the hands of the Wuling Army without a fight.
“It seems that Zhou Yu is really ready to collect all the materials of the Wuling Army and start a decisive battle with our army under Quanling City.” Huang Zhong said slowly.
“Haha, that’s okay, but our army in the province has attacked the city one by one, just under Quanling City, the battle will be determined!” Liu Pan said boldly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a soldier rushed in, clasped his fist and said: “General Liu Lang, General Huang, I found traces of the enemy marching and cooking not far from the city.”
Liu Pan’s eyes lit up when he heard this: “Oh? Take me there, I’m going to see it myself!”
The army is also a human being, and it is natural to cook when marching and fighting, and it is deployed in a situation of one army or one, which has always been a major factor in judging the enemy. Because there are as many stoves as there are in the army, and the number of enemy troops can be seen from here.
During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin, a well-known military strategist in the Qi State, once used a stove-reduction scheme to lure Wei Guo Pang Juan to chase him, but he set up an ambush at a predetermined location and eventually defeated Pang Juan and shot him with random arrows.
Liu Pan couldn’t wait to rush out, and followed the sentry to the place where Jiangdong Army set up the stove.
“General, this is where Jiang Dongjun cooks.”
“Well, let me see.”
Liu Pan stretched out his spear and picked up the ashes on the ground to take a closer look. It was obvious that these stoves had been cooked before. As a marching general, he was naturally proficient in these, so he could tell at a glance that this was true.
“Hmm…” Liu Pan carefully counted the number of stove pits, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help laughing.
“What’s wrong, Gongquan?” Huang Zhong asked.
“Hahaha, Brother Han Sheng!”
Liu Pan smiled and said: “The enemy army is obviously tens of thousands of people, but the number of this stove pit is only about 8,000. It seems that there is a reason why Zhou Yu passively avoids fighting. His soldiers are as timid as a mouse. He didn’t dare to fight with our army at all and fled one after another. How could Zhou Yu dare to fight with our army?”
Huang Zhong is naturally cautious: “Public power, it’s good to be careful. What if Zhou Yu is following the example of Sun Bin of the Warring States Period to confuse our army by reducing the stove?”
“Oh? This is a must.”
Although Liu Pan was fierce and impatient, he didn’t listen to anything. Combined with the abnormalities these days, it was really possible that Zhou Yu had set up a plan to lure the enemy.
He nodded solemnly: “What you said makes sense. It seems that Zhou Yu might actually set up a conspiracy this year.”
Seeing Liu Pan becoming cautious, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
After attacking Kefuyi City, three hundred soldiers were still left to defend the city, and the two men led the army to continue their march and conquered Taoyang City.
And on the only way Zhou Yu left, the enemy’s stove pit was still found, but this time it became less than the previous one, and only about 7,000 people remained.
“General, a deserter from Jiangdong Army was found in Taoyang City!” The subordinates reported loudly.
“Oh? Bring it here!”
In a short while, the captured Jiangdong army deserter was brought up by his subordinates.
“The general is forgiving, the general is forgiving, the villain is willing to join the general!” The deserter yelled as soon as he was brought up, and looked timid as a mouse.
Liu Pan sneered: “I ask you, what is going on with Zhou Yu, did you deliberately set up a stove reduction plan to lure our army?”
The deserter shook his head: “No, although the general governor boosts morale, most of our army is a native of Jingnan. It has only been a few months to join the Sun clan. How can you work for the Sun family? Now I heard that General Liu Lang and the governor Gao The army marched in two ways, and I didn’t dare to compete with the king, so I fled one after another, hiding in the city of Taoyang…”
“Oh?”
Liu Pan gave a sneer, and suddenly shot the case, shouting: “Okay, you dare to trick the general? Give me a drag!”
“Here!”
Two guards with big arms and round waists came up, one left and the other caught the deserter and dragged it out.
“Ah? The general don’t hit me, everything I say is the truth, I dare not lie at all!” the deserter shouted.
However, Liu Pan just sneered, and the deserter was dragged out for a while, hitting his **** with a stick, and the dull sound and screaming and howling sounded together, but Liu Pan was unmoved.
“Dare you still lie to this general?” Liu Pan said coldly.
“General Mingjian, the villain really…really didn’t lie to the general.” The deserter whispered.
“Dare to deceive the general? Give me a shot!” Liu Pan angered.
“Ah? Don’t fight, don’t fight, I really didn’t deceive Liu Langjiang…”
The deserter was beaten abruptly and passed out, but he always insisted that Zhou Yu had more and more deserters, which made Liu Pan breathe a sigh of relief.
“It seems that Zhou Yu’s commander is really more and more deserters, which is a good thing for me.” Liu Pan smiled slightly.
“Hurry up and call Brother Han Sheng!” Liu Pan shouted to his subordinates.
Soon after, Huang Zhong walked over with his whole body clothed, and Liu Pan immediately repeated what had happened to Huang Zhong.
“Brother Han Sheng, the deserter was severely tortured by me, but I always admit that Zhou Yu has more and more deserters. It seems that this time I really can’t support it.”
Liu Pan’s eyes lighted up and said: “Our army can catch this fighter, speed up the interception of Zhou Yu, and unexpectedly appear in front of the enemy. Zhou Yu’s army has no intention of fighting. Wouldn’t it be defeated?”
Huang Zhong shook his head: “Our army should be more cautious and advance step by step. Sooner or later, Zhou Yu will show his feet.”
“Brother Han Sheng, you are too careful. Are you getting older?” Liu Pan said dissatisfied.
Huang Zhong is over half a hundred years old, approaching his 60s. Although he can still fight on horseback and drew a three-stone hard bow, his hair and beard are a little gray, and he looks a little old.
Liu Pan was a little dissatisfied with Huang Zhong’s being too cautious, thinking that he was old after all, so he dared not attack.
Huang Zhong couldn’t help frowning, “Gongquan, what are you talking about? I just feel that care is the best.”
“Well, the enemy’s continued reduction of stoves shows that the number of deserters in the Jiangdong Army is gradually increasing. Our army can catch up and win in one battle. What are you afraid of?”
Hearing Liu Pan’s words, Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly and replied: “Well, in this case, our army will catch up, but the front and the back must be divided into two parts to prevent the enemy from plotting ambush.”
