- Chapter 354: Hitting an egg with a stone
South of Suiyang.
Yan Liang, leading his 30,000-strong army, was marching toward Suiyang in a mighty manner.
Suiyang City has less than 5,000 defenders. If his 30,000 troops can capture this important Liang town before Liu Bei returns for reinforcements, it will be a devastating blow to Liu Bei.
Since setting off from Yan County, Yan Liang and his athletes have been awake all day and night, racing day and night towards Suiyang.
The army was moving quickly, and a scout on horseback galloped forward, arriving directly in front of Yan Liang's horse.
"My lord, we have received an urgent report from the north. Liu Bei has withdrawn from the siege of Xiangyi and is leading his army to Suiyang. The forward is approaching Ningling."
"Xu~~"
Hearing the news, Yan Liang couldn't help reining in his horse, and Xu Shu and others also stopped nearby.
Everyone, including Yan Liang, was slightly surprised by this information.
The distance between Dingling City and Suiyang is basically the same as the current distance between Yan Liang's army and Suiyang. This means that when Yan Liang led his army to Suiyang, it would be more or less a day and a half later, and Liu Bei would also Lead the main force back to Suiyang.
At that time, this battle will turn from a surprise battle into a tough battle.
Liu Bei's army numbered 30,000, and he had the city of Suiyang to rely on, and he had good generals such as Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu under his command. The two armies faced each other head-on, and Yan Liang did not have much advantage.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang looked to the north and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Liu Bei's reaction to be really fast. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult."
At this time, Wen Chou said: "Brother, if you don't let me lead the divine cavalry and travel lightly, we can reach Suiyang City at least half a day in advance, or we can capture Suiyang City by surprise."
"Liu Bei has transferred Zhao Yun to guard Suiyang. This person is extremely difficult to deal with. Even if he attacks with light cavalry, it may not be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. If the troops are blunted under the strong city, it will put the entire army in a disadvantageous situation."
As soon as Wen Chou finished speaking, Xu Shu categorically rejected Wen Chou's proposal. ,
Yan Liang naturally knew Zhao Yun's abilities, and he would not waste his elite cavalry on attacking the fortified city guarded by Zhao Yun.
He nodded slightly, "Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable, but now surprise attacks are no longer effective, and fighting a war of attrition head-on is not a good idea. I'm afraid we have to re-weigh how to fight this battle."
All the counselors and generals fell into silence, each with their brows deeply focused, thinking about how to deal with the enemy.
The advantage of attacking Liu Bei is to fight quickly without losing too many troops. Otherwise, once it falls into a protracted tug-of-war, Yuan Shang will be able to breathe. At that time, the role will be reversed, and Yuan Shang will become a fisherman.
And when Zhou Yu returns to Wu, once he states his interests to Sun Quan, Sun Quan is very likely to send someone else to the north of the Huaihe River to intervene due to Sun Quan's capriciousness.
Or, if Sun Quan unites his troops in Huaibei and devotes all his strength to attack Jingzhou in the west, attacking Yan Liang's rear area, then the situation will be even more unfavorable.
In the silence, Xu Shu's deep frown suddenly relaxed, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"My lord, I think that we have all fallen into a misunderstanding. We have preconceived notions that we must capture Suiyang, but think about it on the other hand, what is the purpose of capturing Suiyang?" Xu Shu looked around the crowd and shouted loudly asked.
"The purpose of capturing Suiyang is of course to destroy Liu Bei's main force." Wen Chou said without hesitation.
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shu's mouth, "General Wen is right. The purpose of capturing Suiyang is to destroy Liu Bei's main force. However, to defeat Liu Bei's main force, does it mean that Suiyang must be captured?"
Xu Shu¡¯s rhetorical question diverted the thoughts of everyone present. A general as lacking in resourcefulness as Wen Chou not only failed to understand what he meant, but instead became even more confused.
In an instant, Yan Liang's blade-like eyes burst with excitement.
Being as resourceful as he was, he quickly understood the meaning behind Xu Shu's words.
"Yuan Zhi, what you mean is" Yan Liang did not name him, but looked at Xu Shu with his eyes.
Intelligent people can often understand each other's meaning through eye contact. When Xu Shu saw Yan Liang's deep and murderous eyes, he knew that Yan Liang already understood.
Xu Shu smiled and said nothing, only nodded slightly.
¡°I understand, very good, Yuan Zhi¡¯s plan is very clever, then let¡¯s give Uncle Liu Huang a big welcome gift.¡±
Yan Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other and laughed, but Wen Chou and other generals looked confused.

? ?East of Lingcheng.
The setting sun is setting in the west, and the flags, one after another, are reflected in the setting sun, dragging out the long setting sun.
In the long dust and fog, an army of 30,000 people was advancing rapidly.
Liu Bei rode his horse hurriedly among the army, constantly thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy in the near future.
The scouts from Suiyang passed on information from Yan Liangjun in front of him from time to time.
According to the intelligence, every time Yan Liang's troops approached Suiyang, Liu Bei's heart felt like it was being pulled.
Although Liu Bei had no doubts about Zhao Yun's ability to defend the city, he was even more afraid of Yan Liang.
Liu Bei hated Yan Liang, but he had to admit that this rebel general of the Yuan family was a more powerful hero than himself.
When Liu Bei raised his army, he was still followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. No matter how low he fell, he always had a group of loyal civil and military followers.
Even with his strength, he has been wandering for half his life, but now he has finally made a mark.
And that Yan Liang, who carried the identity of a traitor to the Yuan family, single-handedly engulfed Jingzhou and became the overlord that the heroes of the world dare not look down upon.
Liu Bei knew that such a person was more terrifying than Cao Cao.
That's why he was worried and rushed to Suiyang non-stop. He could never give Yan Liang the slightest chance, because he knew that the traitor of the Yuan family who did not act according to common sense would cause trouble even if he caught the slightest flaw. A terrifying storm is coming.
Fortunately, according to the reports from the scouts, Yan Liang's distance from Suiyang was almost the same as his own army, which made Liu Bei feel at ease a lot.
What Liu Bei has to do now is to speed up the ground army as much as possible. Only if his army can reach Suiyang smoothly, the situation will turn to his favor.
When he was riding his horse at a gallop, a horse came galloping towards him and arrived directly in front of Liu Bei's horse.
"My lord, General Yide has come to report that ten miles ahead, thousands of Yan troops were found in formation, blocking our army's way back east."
Yan Jun blocks the road!
Liu Bei frowned and asked anxiously: "How many enemy troops are there?"
"There are about three thousand cavalry." The scout replied.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were only three thousand cavalry.
Sun Qian next to him said: "My Lord, Yan Liang must have sent his Qingqi to rush here first, hoping to delay our army's return of reinforcements and buy time for him to capture Suiyang."
Liu Bei nodded, then raised his whip and shouted: "Quickly pass the order to Yide, order him to lead the army to attack, and immediately defeat the enemy blocking the road."
The scout flew away.
Liu Bei also ordered the entire army to speed up the advance and reinforce the front army led by Zhang Fei. They must use an unstoppable momentum to fight back to Suiyang in one go.
¡¡
Five miles ahead.
Three thousand Yan troops on foot and cavalry have completed their formation. On that side, the general with the word "yellow" is proudly flying in the wind.
Veteran Huang Zhong stood with his sword face straight, his hand stroking his white beard, his eyes half open and half closed, glaring coldly at the dark enemy ahead.
And hundreds of steps away, seven thousand Liu troops were also looking fiercely at the enemy blocking the road.
Under the banner with the word "Zhang", the ferocious-looking Zhang Fei was staring at the old man in the enemy formation opposite with his big eyes.
Zhang Fei knew that the old guy's name was Huang Zhong, and he was one of the veterans who was subdued by Yan Liang when he conquered Jingnan.
At this time, Huang Zhong was no longer the unknown old soldier from Jingnan who followed Yan Liang north to the Central Plains. After experiencing several battles, Huang Zhong had used his impressive achievements to show the world that he was the Tiger of Changsha. of prestige.
Today, the three words "Huang Hansheng" are enough to move the hearts of heroes in the world.
However, in Zhang Fei's view, he is still an old pawn who will be buried in the coffin, and is not worth fighting at all.
Or, in Zhang Fei's eyes, apart from his second brother Guan Yu, he never put any general in his eyes.
At this time, Zhang Fei was pacing in front of the formation, his ferocious face flashing with some impatience.
He was anxiously waiting for Liu Bei's order so that he could lead his army to charge forward and tear the old Changsha soldier's bones into pieces.
In the midst of anxiety, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the scout finally left and returned.
"Why the hell did you come back like this? Brother, are you going to fight?" Zhang Fei shouted angrily.
The scout was startled and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "General, the lord ordered the general to attack with all his troops. It must be done in one fell swoop"
"IAlright, get out of the way. "Zhang Fei couldn't help but scolded the scout after he finished speaking. His ferocious face was instantly occupied by bloodthirsty violence.
"Old man named Huang, I want to see how capable you are."
Zhang Fei snorted coldly, pointed his snake spear forward, and roared: "Attack the whole army, kill all these thieves for me -"
Amidst the thunderous shouts, Zhang Fei launched his horse, brandishing his eight-foot-long snake spear, and rushed towards the enemy formation like lightning.
The military formation suddenly opened up, and 7,000 Liu Jun infantry and cavalry came out with shouts of killing, surging towards the enemy on the opposite side like a tidal wave.
Facing an enemy twice as big as our own, the three thousand athletes of the Yan family stood still.
Huang Zhong also had a calm expression on his face, his half-closed eyes slowly opened, and the sword in his hand was held tighter and tighter.
In the field of vision, enemies like a tide came overwhelmingly. The enemy general who looked like an iron tower was even more majestic. At a glance, he knew that he was Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei.
"Zhang Fei, besides the lord, I finally have another opponent worth fighting."
In the old face, Xunxun's murderous aura suddenly burned like fire.
Huang Zhong drew his long sword forward and shouted sternly: "Athletes of the Yan family army, fight for your lord, kill¡ª¡ª"
"kill¡ª¡ª"
"kill¡ª¡ª"
Three thousand soldiers roared in unison, and the roar, as fierce as thunder, soared into the sky, overwhelming the galloping thousands of troops facing them.
Amidst the roaring sound of the tide, Huang Zhong leapt on his horse and raised his sword, shooting out as fast as the wind.
Three thousand Yanjun infantry and cavalry also moved with great force. No one was afraid, and they charged towards the enemy who was several times their own size.
The two waves of soldiers, like two giant spears, rolled up overwhelmingly. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, who were at the forefront, were the sharpest tips of these two giant spears.
The distance of several hundred steps passed in the blink of an eye, and the two giant spears collided with each other in the center of the avenue.
??The snake spears were drawn out, the long swords were swept across, and two peerless generals came to kill them instantly. (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
