Puyang Yi wrote several letters in accordance with the requirements of Lu Gong and sent the clerk Shi Wangji to Chenliu. Wangji is a native of Junyi. He has friendship with many aristocratic families and is easier to speak.

Of course, the news that Lu Yi was going to attack could not be said, and no slightest expression could be revealed. In fact, except for Puyang Yi and Lu Yi himself, no one knew that Lu Yi had this plan, and Wang Ji was no exception. If he really knew, he might not come back. Even in Puyang Yi himself, he was not sure about this matter. Putting hope on the opponent's indecision is in principle contrary to the combat principles of the military plan. However, Lu Yi is not a military plan, and he is a young general around the King of Wu and can be done without the requirements of the military plan.

Wang Ji took Puyang Yi's letter out of the city. He also met some cavalry along the way, and even Dong Fang himself. However, Wang Ji was familiar with Dong Fang and was eloquent. He said a few words to Dong Fang, and he felt that Yuan Tan might not be able to win, and he could not do anything, and that he would not end in the future. Besides, Man Chong was intercepted by Dong Zhao, Lu Yi did not dare to leave the city, and the Chenliu family was unwilling to hand over the land and surrendered to Sun Ce. He thought that he would just wait and see as he did now, and would not turn against each other easily, so he let Wang Ji go.

Of course, Dong Jen did not forget to inform Dong Zhao, asking him to be careful of the Chenliu family and not be cut off by these fence-bearing plants.

After receiving the news, Dong Zhao thought about it repeatedly and sent officials to return to Chenliu, urging the Chenliu family to firmly stand and not to waver. Although Sun Ce is strong, he is the public enemy of the world, especially the public enemy of the aristocratic family. If Sun Ce can do the world, ordinary people may benefit, but the aristocratic family may not be. Yuan Tan can treat the aristocratic family well and will not let them down.

He didn't expect to convince these people, he just hoped to buy a few days to defeat Man Chong. As long as he could defeat Man Chong, he could temporarily stabilize the situation in Chenliu.

After the envoy left, Dong Zhao ordered a fierce attack on Man Chong's position. He used his military strength to fight continuously, hoping to defeat Man Chong in one go, and it would be best to kill Man Chong himself. Man Chong was the governor of Yuzhou. He controlled the military of Yuzhou. If he killed him, he could shake the entire situation in Yuzhou and create opportunities for Yuan Tan to attack Yuzhou.

The two sides fought fiercely. Within two days, Dong Zhao fired more than thirty attacks in a row and broke through Man Chong's car formation several times. Man Chong had to order his personal guards to fight with all his might, and then maintain his position.

Under the baptism of blood and with the help of veterans, the casualties of these Yuzhou County soldiers who had just entered the battle increased rapidly, but they also grew up quickly and became more and more brave as they fought.

Dong Zhao soon discovered that although Man Chong's position was compressed to the ferry area, it was more solid and the difficulty of breaking through was getting greater and greater. He originally thought that Man Chong occupied the favorable terrain and used warships to cover it, but later he realized that it was caused by the changes of the soldiers in the formation. He once led the Wei County and County soldiers to fight and witnessed the growth of the county soldiers in the battle. The situation in front of him was very similar, but the speed was faster. In just two days, the Yuzhou county soldiers opposite seemed to have faded away and turned into experienced veterans, no worse than the Wei County soldiers under his command.

Surprised, Dong Zhao was uneasy and hesitant. Man Chong quickly realized this and took the lead. He seized the opportunity to fight back twice, killing hundreds of people, and his morale was greatly boosted.

The situation is changing unknowingly.

As Dong Gun expected, Wang Ji rushed to Chenliu and visited his acquaintance one after another. Although he was so sarcastic that he spoke well, those people were just grateful and had no practical actions. No one was willing to make a statement. After a joke, he sent Wang Ji out of the camp. Wang Ji had been tossing for two days, but he didn't get a word.

Wang Ji himself was a little discouraged and felt that he had a waste of time. But Lu Yi didn't think so. He asked Wang Ji carefully about his itinerary and asked Wang Ji to draw the locations of the battalions outside Chenliu City, the temper of the generals, whether they had any previous experience in war, and the situation of the soldiers in the battalion. Following the detailed work arranged by Lu Yi among the attendants in front of Wang Ji, he observed it more carefully. In line with Wang Ji's own experience, Lu Yi quickly obtained a map of the distribution of the camp.

After repeated discussions with Puyang Yi, the mainland agreed to formulate a combat plan.

This plan is divided into two parts: one is to march, how to avoid the surveillance of the cavalry led by Dong Fang and reach the city of Chenliu; the other is to fight, how to attack the camp outside Chenliu City, and kill and injure the opponents as much as possible.

The problem of marching is relatively easy to solve. There are many rivers in these forty miles. In order to monitor all roads, Dong Fang arranged cavalry at various intersections, but the location he paid the most attention to was the Langdang Canal. The Langdang Canal has a wide water surface, the river channel is smooth, and it can take a boat. It is the main waterway for Junyi to lead to the hinterland of Yuzhou. It guards Langdang Canal, which can not only monitor reinforcements in the direction of Junyi, but also in Yingchuan and Chen Guo, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Yi decided to avoid the Langdang Canal and walk on the other hand. He went out of Junyi East Gate and crossed the water, then bypassed Liangpi, crossed the water on the east side of Liangpi, turned south, crossed the Sui River and Huan River, and launched an attack in the southeast of Chenliu City. In order to facilitate the water crossing, Lu Yi ordered each soldier to carry a leather bag for swimming. Most of these soldiers came from Jiangdong and had good water properties, but in the warm and cold season, after swimming, his clothes and pants were wet, which extremely tested the physical fitness of the soldiers. For this reason, Lu Yi provided them with sufficient food and some wine. In order to boost morale, he ordered sugar to be added to the beef patties he carried.

Sugar is a rare product. Even if a family is from a good family, it is rare to eat sugar all year round. It is good enough to use beef patties as dry marching food, and sugar is added, which makes people, including Puyang Yi, feel extravagant. Lu Yi explained that adding sugar is not only to boost morale, but also to enhance the physical strength of the soldiers and help them keep cold. The patient has just recovered from a serious illness, and drinking some sugar water will make you feel more energetic. This is the reason.

Although Puyang Yi and others had a toothache, Lu Gong was the main general. Since he made the decision, he could only listen to him. I believe that after winning, the King of Wu would have a reward. It would be better to apply for some sugar at that time and fill the vacancy.

After solving the problem of marching, the problem of combat became even more complicated. Lu Zheng formulated an attack route based on the information provided by Wang Ji. This attack was not for the purpose of killing people, but for the creation of chaos. These Chenliu families were hesitant and did not trust each other. The subordinates were not brave soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They were easy to move but hard to rest. Once the camp fired, they would easily form a situation of defeat. At that time, Zhang Miao in the city went out of the city to attack again, attacked inside and outside, and had a great chance of victory.

Therefore, the Land Administrative Party required each soldier to carry arrows tied with fire-drawing objects, and each sold two torches. After entering the enemy camp, he did not seek to kill and injure, but attacked deeper at the fastest speed, setting fire to the camp, especially the baggage. At the same time, the Land Administrative Party arranged 300 elite troops to attack the opponent's central army and implement the beheading tactic.

Puyang Yi looked at Lu Yi talking, his face felt a little hot. In front of Lu Yi, he joined the army just a decoration and knew nothing.

After getting ready, Lu Yi quietly came out of Junyi with two thousand elite soldiers and disappeared into the night.

Late at night, Dong Zhao paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

There is a piece of paper on the table with more than a dozen numbers written on it. The font is correct and the paper is gentle and gentle. It is authentic Yuzhou paper, softer and finer than Jizhou paper. Unlike Jizhou paper, there are always some thick stems that cannot be processed, and the hand feels thick and hard. But in Dong Zhao's heart, this paper is a bit heavy.

This is the report of casualties today. A fierce battle and attacked seven times. Not only did he fail to break Man Chong's battle formation, but he was beaten by Man Chong and lost more than 2,000 people. Especially the generals such as the Junhou and the Gate Chief suffered heavy losses. Many of them were just promoted. The new official took office and was killed before he could firmly take office.

Because the crossbow chariots were not good for attacks before, a large number of crossbow chariots were destroyed and there was no stone throwing machine, and our side lacked effective means of attack. If you want to break through the opponent's chariot formation, you can only give way to the infantry to attack with the opponent's arrow formation, and most of the casualties occurred at this stage.

The crossbowmen of the Yuzhou Army are very refined, especially those who hold four stones and six stone crossbows. The hit rate is at least 70%, and some even reach more than 80%. Almost every launch has gained results. Quhou, who is fighting on the front line, is their favorite target. Compared with them, there are not many crossbowmen and newcomers who are more accustomed to covering attacks, and the killing effect of designated targets is far inferior.

Apart from the advantage of military strength, I have no advantage at all. If I lose this battle, if I continue to fight, the losses will be too great, and even the scheduled tasks cannot be completed, and I will probably be driven out of Chenliu. Although the war is not good at present, 30,000 people have not been able to repel the 10,000 people who are full of pets. After all, my strength is still there, and it is no problem to suppress the Chenliu family.

It was just like this, I was really unwilling to give up. Dong Zhao was very moved. Even when he led his troops to fight Man Chong five days ago, he did not expect that this would be the result. The 30,000 Jizhou soldiers who had been through the battle formation could not defeat the 10,000 Yuzhou soldiers who had just been recruited. The strength gap between the two sides had reached this point?

So is there still hope for Yuan Tan to take Yuzhou? Is the imperial court's plan to siege three sides meaningful?

A series of questions rumbling in Dong Zhao's mind made him restless. He realized a very serious problem: he was not clear about the real situation in Yuzhou. The news obtained from the merchants was inaccurate. The merchants only cared about business and did not care enough about other matters. They heard a lot and had little evidence. Although Yuan Tan could get relatively accurate information, they did not publish it truthfully.

This is understandable. If it is announced truthfully, whether the Jizhou people can support him is a question.

When Dong Zhao thought that Yuan Tan might have concealed the truth, he felt even more uncomfortable. This shows that in Yuan Tan's mind, he has never been a direct descendant.

Forget it, if you don’t fight, it’s more important to preserve your strength. Without strength, you will have no capital even if you surrender in the future.

Dong Zhao shook his sleeves and made up his mind. He used too much force and fanned the oil lamp on the desk. The oil lamp fell down and the oil spilled out, igniting the paper on the desk. The servant hurried forward to put out the fire, and the tent was a little messy.
