Chapter 1790 In the middle, in the middle


    Before Xu Shu and Liu Bei set off from Dingruo, the messenger soldiers from Wei Yan''s camp had already caught up with Xu Shu in the starry night, and presented Wei Yan''s secret letter to Xu Shu.


    According to Wei Yan''s description, at the crossing near Jianning, several envoys who claimed to be "Liu Zhang''s subordinates" were found, who seemed to want to go to Jianning, but found that they ran into Wei Yan''s ambush and It wasn''t that they met barbarians and immediately rebelled regardless. As a result, most of them died on the spot, leaving only one or two alive. After the interrogation, they also failed to survive.


    However, through oral confession, it is indicated that these people are not necessarily the so-called "Liu Zhang''s subordinates", but have left under Li Hui''s command, and these people want to convey the news to the barbarians. This is Xu Shu who has led the army from Dingze enters the army...


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


    It''s actually very simple, four words, just follow the plan.


    Assuming that these soldiers belonged to Li Hui, then Li Hui''s intention must be to falsely claim that Xu Shu''s army is very powerful, and then Sichuan and Shu are already empty. An opportunity to sneak in...


    Wei Yan did the opposite, telling the Yi people in Jianning that Xu Shu led the army with only a small number of elite soldiers, and the element of surprise attack was greater, but the frontal force did not decrease. He will lead the troops out from the west mountain, which can break Li Hui''s strategy as soon as they come, and on the other hand, it can also create a window for Wei Yan to attack.


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


    This Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang!


    If it wasn''t for this period of time, Xu Shu knew Wei Yan somewhat, and Xu Shu was Wei Yan''s recommender to a certain extent, and Wei Yan respected him very much on weekdays, otherwise this secret letter alone would surely make other people who are not very happy The boss who knew Wei Yan was furious.


    According to the strategy, Wei Yan''s idea is actually not wrong, it''s just a bit misplaced. Just like in history, Wei Yan emphasized the need to advance troops from the Meridian Valley. As far as the overall strategy is concerned, there is no big problem. It''s impossible to say that there is not much confidence, but isn''t Wei Yan''s strategy like this in history the same as letting Brother Zhu do a feint to cover him?


    As long as he thinks the strategy is feasible, Wei Yan doesn''t care about the boss''s face, or doesn''t think about it at all. At that time, Brother Zhu was also facing a lot of doubts in Sichuan and Shu, and urgently needed a victory of his own to prove that Brother Zhu himself 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 in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Luo described that Brother Zhu rejected Wei Yan''s proposal as very arrogant and unreasonable. He simply covered it up with a low success rate and Brother Pig''s cautious nature.


    Now, on the one hand, Xu Shu is really not like Brother Pig in history, who urgently needs a victory to prove himself. At the same time, Xu Shu has a higher perspective and can see more clearly the mystery of the so-called "messenger".


    Xu Shu also believed in Wei Yan''s judgment. Those so-called "Liu Zhang''s subordinates" were probably faked by other people. Although the confession said that they were sent by Li Hui, in Xu Shu''s view, there were still 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 strategy can be implemented, otherwise it is meaningless to send such an envoy.


    After all, no one can guarantee whether these barbarians will be obedient and follow the messenger''s message to attack Chengdu from Jianning. If they feel that Xu Shu is more tempting here, they may lead the troops to clean up Xu Shu first. Then take advantage of the trend to enter Sichuan...


    Therefore, from this point of view, Li Hui''s move may not be half successful, and it is not that there is no better way, such as directly declaring that Xu Shu has arrived at the front line and joined forces with Wei Yan, and then waited for the barbarians to pay attention. In the front, Li Hui''s sudden attack from Jianning Xishan, etc., are all good choices. Why do you have to use this kind of strategy that has a low success rate and is accompanied by a considerable degree of risk?


    unless…


    Xu Shu turned his suspicions to Liu Bei.


    After all, Liu Bei has been rambling a lot in the past two days, even talking about Ding Ruo''s trivial matters, but he didn''t mention Li Hui''s matter or related matters. This is a big doubt in itself. At the same time, Liu Bei It is actually very easy to mix people among Li Hui''s subordinates.


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


    However, such a problem is that all matters are doubts, and there is no direct point to Liu Bei.


    Some of the soldiers were given by Liu Bei, but these soldiers became Li Hui''s subordinates and had no direct relationship with Liu Bei. It was like Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou. Although there were many people who fished in troubled waters, the account was naturally on Cao Cao''s head , Who told Cao Cao to take the lead?


    Then these "envoys" are people who claim to be Liu Zhang. Even if they are fake, they have to be proved to be fake, and this is obviously not abducted by Liu Bei...


    So when Xu Shu reached the end, he just chased one sheep and a group of sheep, and slowly moved towards Jianning with Liu Bei and others.


    If you want to clean up Liu Bei, you need solid evidence.


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


    There is no need to be charged with this crime, and it is not something that can be used casually, just like Cao Cao, even though he already wished to kill the big-mouthed Xu You in his heart, he still needs to cooperate with a smile on the surface, and even go around Xu You. You left, until after Xu You was killed, Cao Cao would sigh in public.


    Liu Bei is like the cornerstone under the throne of General Hussars. Other cornerstones are Baibo, Southern Huns, Western Qiang Xianbei, etc., so that when they are added up one by one, the throne of the high-ranking hussar general is brilliant and colorful, and Liu Bei has just been placed on it. Soon, many people could still see that even the Hussar General who was sitting on it knew that the stone was uneven and wobbly, but he couldn''t remove it immediately, he could only take it slowly.


    Otherwise, it would be like Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu really felt 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 in the later stage, these "Son" turned his face the fastest again.


    The barbarians'' outpost soon appeared in front of Xu Shu and the others, and then the encounter between the two sides began.


    Xu Shu stood on the hillside, watching the barbarians jumping like locusts between the mountains and forests, his face was calm, and there was no panic at all.


    Liu Bei glanced at it secretly, then thought for a while, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "A certain leader is willing to be the pioneer, and break the current thief!" 』The number of Yi people is not too many, but it is not too small. A rough estimate is about 3,000. However, because the combat effectiveness of the Yi people is generally not high, Liu Bei is not in a frontal battle. Worrying about how much damage these barbarians will cause him, and even if a certain amount of damage is caused, it may not be a bad thing for Liu Bei...


    Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei, smiled and said, "Xuande has this intention, kindness!" However, they are mere thieves, there is no need for Xuande to take action..." Immediately ordered Wei Zongwei of the Chinese Military Academy to bring some soldiers to intercept.


    Liu Bei was waiting to say something more, but seeing Xu Shu''s resolute attitude and the battle was approaching, he had no choice but to shut up and step aside.


    Zong Wei, a native of Sichuan and Shu, was originally a small Cao Cao in Chengdu. After Xu Shu arrived in Chengdu, he found that he was quite organized, knew military affairs, and had a small surname, so he had nothing to do with the major noble families in Chengdu. Just after the inspection, he was gradually promoted to be a lieutenant in the Chinese Army to assist in handling chores.


    In the distance of Xu Shu, Gao Ding and Liu Fan who had just caught up also looked at Xu Shu''s military appearance, frowning slightly.


    The two sides are considered to be an encounter, but the encounter here is not unprepared for everything, and then the two suddenly bumped into each other at the corner of the toilet, and after a while, they said "have you eaten?" and then replied "you come too", It means that neither side has any fortifications to rely on or add to, and basically can only rely on the fighting ability of soldiers to fight.


    The soldiers of the Yi people...


    Look at these soldiers of Xu Shu...


    What is more human than angry, most likely it is.


    Although Xu Shu''s vanguard soldiers did not have spears and shields, they all had a delicate small steel shield, plus a slightly shorter sword, which was almost similar to the sword used by the barbarians, but sharper, very suitable for fighting Slashing in the mountains and forests, the iron armor on their bodies is also shining coldly, and some archers and crossbowmen in the back row have already inserted arrows and crossbows on the ground in front of them, so they can pick them up and shoot them as quickly as possible.


    『Will you fight or not? ’ Liu Fan asked.


    Gao Ding squinted at Liu Fan, "Why, you won''t compete this time?" 』


    Liu Fan laughed for a moment, then said with a half-smile: "Isn''t President Gao too afraid?" 』


    The two snorted coldly at the same time, and after a moment of silence, Liu Fan said again: "It''s still necessary to fight, but my team is not suitable, so let''s go 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, "OK! Then I''ll go first! 』


    The Yi people came out, and the momentum was not small. They not only moved forward along the mountain path, but also climbed up the mountain ridge on one side, trying to bypass Xu Shu''s array on the mountain path and go to the side to carry out hit.


    The swords wielded are long and short, black and gray.


    Noisy sounds, high and low, near and far.


    There were even barbarians following their habit, surrounding a kneeling person, jumping and shouting, as if they had obtained some BUFF, roaring loudly, and charging forward!


    Zong Wei ordered the soldiers to arrange fortifications and defense lines as soon as possible, while letting the soldiers maintain the formation in front. The battle of the infantry is naturally the battle formation first, and a mob like the barbarians rushing up, it looks like a huge momentum, but in fact...


    『Front Row Ranging! 』Zong Wei ordered loudly.


    『One hundred and fifty steps! 』The soldiers observing at the front line reported loudly and stepped into the distance.


    Zong Wei shouted: "Steady! 』


    『One hundred and twenty steps! 』


    『Steady the crossbow! Bow half open! 』


    『Hundred steps! Hundred steps! 』


    『Great wind! Zong Wei shouted, "Great wind! 』


    The barbarians who conquered Li Hui''s camp before finally realized that there are differences between soldiers of the Han people. The soldiers in Sichuan and Shu were originally good at shooting. Being stingy with the loss of arrows and crossbows, the lethal effect produced is astonishing...


    The barbarians rushing head-on on the mountain road had no way of dodging, and there was no better defensive equipment. The only dozen or so wooden shields might have a certain shielding effect, but more barbarians had nothing to do. No, only by relying on the lucky value given in three days to avoid arrows and crossbow arrows, more of them fell on the mountain road and rolled down the soil **** like the branches of trees that were cut down. fell into the mountain stream.


    The screams one after another can be heard endlessly.


    The Yi people who were originally climbing on the mountain ridge saw the miserable situation on the mountain road, and subconsciously hesitated, not knowing whether they should continue to move forward or stop first...


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


    Relying on their own shooting skills, some barbarians also hid behind stones and trees, and shot at the archers commanded by Zongwei, but unintentionally, the originally scattered barbarians lost their impact even more, and many The barbarian hiding among the rocks and bushes on the mountain ridge realized that after he had unknowingly finished shooting the arrows he carried, he realized that the other barbarians on the mountain ridge or in the mountain path had lost their ability to charge. Courage, began to leave the scattered corpses and retreat...


    Liu Bei looked at the barbarians who were retreating far away, and couldn''t help sighing in his heart: "It''s a pity..."


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