"This Jiangdong general is very alert!" Zhang Liao listened to the news brought to him by the scout of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the vanguard troops brought by the Jiangdong General were directly pressed down in a dense forest on the way. There were 5,000 people spying on the stove, and the five thousand people had murderous intentions on them, and they were obviously not ordinary soldiers.

Originally, Zhang Liao planned to use large-scale cavalry charges on the plains outside the city to directly eat the vanguard troops of Jiangdong first, defeat the enemy's spirit, and then wait to deal with the more than 40,000 enemy troops in the future. However, now it seems that it is not very reliable to eat the vanguard troops directly.

With the barrier of dense forests, it can be said that Zhang Liao's tough Xiliang cavalry is no longer useful. Moreover, this dense forest is not far from the city along the way. Although it is dozens of miles, it is only half an hour for the cavalry, and even for infantry battles, it is only half a day. The Jiangdong general stationed the army in the dense forest, so he generously asked Zhang Liao's scout to investigate to tell Zhang Liao that the Jiangdong army was coming. The enemy was in the dark and they were in the bright.

"What is the banner of the Jiangdong Army?!" Zhang Liao was a little interested. Who is this warrior?

"General, he is under the banner of Lu!" the scout next to him reported.

"Lu?!" Zhang Liao thought about it and there was no Jiangdong general with the surname Lu. The famous ones in Jiangdong were Huang Gai. Han was some characters, and there was really no such person with the surname Lu. How did this person appear?

"Submitted to Lu?" Zhang Liao didn't know who he was, but Xu Sheng next to him seemed to know the name vaguely.

"General Xu Sheng knows?!" Zhang Liao asked.

"I don't know the specific one. But when I was with the lord, the lord mentioned a general named Lu from Jiangdong! This person is called Lu Meng. He is about twenty years old. The lord said that this person has the talent of a general, is good at commanding troops, and can even be the commander of one side, but he lacks training. If he is well trained, he is the commander of the other side. If he is not well trained, he will only talk about military affairs on paper!" Xu Sheng told Zhang Liao everything he knew.

"Lu Meng, about twenty years old?" Zhang Liao thought for a while. This was a young general, twenty years old. At that time, Zhang Liao didn't know about the young general in Jiangdong. However, this person also made Zhang Liao nod. There were much fewer young people who could be so alert and calm rather than rushing around.

Now Zhang Liao's army is in a dilemma. If he wants to surround the enemy, he wants to swallow the enemy in one go. Originally, Zhang Liao's plan had been successful. With Qin Feng's letter of help from the city on the way, he divided the 50,000 troops in Jiangdong and sent a vanguard force. Zhang Liao was also preparing to eat this vanguard force in one fell swoop. However, it is difficult to get rid of the vanguard force now. If he can't eat this vanguard force and cannot defeat the enemy's aura, it will be difficult to fight in the future.

"General, why don't we take down the city of the way first and destroy these 20,000 enemies! After the difficulties, we will fight the 50,000 troops in Jiangdong!" Ge Jun from the side suggested to Zhang Liao.

"Yes, General Zhang Liao. Our army has abundant live ammunition. It is not too late to take down the city of the way first and then get entangled with these Jiangdong enemy troops. Otherwise, we will be attacked from both sides when our army arrives." Xu Sheng was also the chief general of the first army, so Zhang Liao would naturally consider his suggestions. Zhang Liao did not immediately reply to Xu Sheng.

If you really want to take down the city of Shizhong, it is still OK. With the attack of the crossbow, the city of Shizhong would be in panic. If Zhang Liao didn't take out too much, just take out eight thousand troops and forcefully attack the city, the city would inevitably be destroyed!

As for the enemy troops in Jiangdong in this dense forest, even if he rushes for help, even if it is five thousand elite troops, Zhang Liao can completely divide the troops into two thousand heavy armored cavalry, which can stop the five thousand in-fight battles.

But what can I do on the way to win it? It is said that Zhang Liao was once the head coach of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry can only attack and is not good at defense. It is really impossible to let Zhang Liao get passively beaten.

They are fighting against the support points, but they are not fighting head-on with Sun Ce in Jiangdong. If they continue to fight like this, the loss will be too great.

"Zhang Hu, go find a local commoner!" Zhang Liao suddenly said to Zhang Hu next to him.

"Look for an ordinary person?" Although Zhang Hu didn't understand, he still asked his men to search immediately. However, after searching for half a day, he couldn't find a commoner. These ordinary people either hid in the city or left Linhuai generation early. This place is better than Yangzhou, but it is not much better.

In the end, Zhang Hu brought a scout to Zhang Liao. This scout was one of them who sent a letter to Jiangdong. After all, although Zhang Liao deliberately sent the scouts away, he had to pretend to be fake! Otherwise, he would be seen through at a glance, so how could he plan!

"Let go, let me go!" A scout from Qin Feng's army was escorted by Zhang Hu.

"General, the last general is unable to find the people nearby, so!" Zhang Hu pointed to the scout and said.

"It's all the same!" Zhang Liao didn't care so much about whether it was a commoner or a soldier, as long as it was a person on the way!

"You kill me, I can't say anything!" The scout was tough and said nothing, turning his head over without saying a word.

"Haha, it's tough!" Zhang Liao showed a rare smile. "It's a pity that the master I followed is a person who is greedy for life and fears death." Qin Feng ran away as soon as he was lost in Linhuai City. Moreover, from the information given by the Jinyiwei in Yangzhou, Qin Feng was not only greedy for life and fears death, but also very lustful and wealthy.

But I didn't expect that such a master would have such a tough subordinate below. I originally thought that Qin Feng's subordinates were like the thousands of young masters in Linhuai City.

"You still want to say it when you get to our general's tent!" Zhang Hu went up and Meng De put it on the soldier's body. Although Zhang Hu was just a second-rate general, his strength was not small. He kicked the scout so much that it was sweet in his mouth, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"I won't say anything if I beat you to death!" the scout shouted in a struggle.

"General, this guy is stubborn. Do you want to stop?!" Ge Jun asked Zhang Liao, meaning that he would wait for the scout to interrogate him first. Then he brought it up, and the mouth would naturally open up if he had a little bit of punishment.

"No need!" Zhang Liao shook his head. He didn't have much time, so it would be too late if he tortures him again.

"It's good to be tough. Don't worry, I won't let you betray your lord. I just want to ask you simple questions?!" Zhang Liao lowered his body and approached the scout.

"snort!"

"If you can answer my question, I will let you go! If you are still stubborn, then you will die! You can still find another scout. I don't believe that everyone is as stubborn as you!" Zhang Liao said to the scout.

"Hmph, I won't say it. You executioner, butcher, tell you the military secret. The end result will only be that all the people on my way will be massacred. I won't tell you, what's so scary about death!" The scout spitted out a bloody phlegm, but fortunately Zhang Liao avoided it quickly.

"Massacre of the city?" Zhang Liao listened to what the scout said, and finally knew why this little scout was so tough. It turned out that it was because of the massacre of the city.

"When did our general say that the city was massacred?" Zhang Hu retorted from the side.

"Oh!" Zhang Liao stopped Zhang Hu's words. They had never said that the city was massacred. But Qin Feng in this city said that Qin Feng must have spread the news that Zhang Liao's army would be massacred on the way, which made people panic on the way, and they also shared the same hatred. Qin Feng is really a person. In order to protect himself, he could actually make up such words. Knowing to use people's hearts, just like when Lao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Tao Qian said that Lao Cao wanted to massacre the city, which made the entire Xuzhou go all out to defend the city. Liu Mang's army is not a good person. After all, Liu Mang's army had a precedent for massacre, so Qin Feng could use this precedent!

No matter how Zhang Hu explained the scout, he would not believe it. The scout must be the locals on the way, otherwise he would not have been like this to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao didn't need Zhang Hu to explain whether he was a massacre. What he needed was not this, what he needed was the scout who was a local on the way, and this was the most important thing.

"I said, Zhang Liao, what you asked about must have nothing to do with the city on the way. I just want to know that the weather on the way over the past few days, you only need to tell when the earliest rain in the city on the way! As long as you tell me, I will let you go. I believe that your old mother must be in the city on the way! Do you have the heart to let your old mother send a black hair person to the end!" Zhang Liao said to the scout of Qin Fengjun in a temptation.

"Mother? How did he know?!" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun next to him thought that this was Zhang Liao making up. You don't know others. How do you know if they have an old mother?

"Mother!" The scout seemed to really think of his mother in his family when Zhang Liao said this.

"You said you are dead, who will take care of your old mother? Do you still expect your robes on the way? Do you expect your lord who is greedy for life and fear of death? As long as you tell me the weather on the way, I will let you go! Let you be a filial son!" Zhang Liao captured the hearts of the people, and was using the filial piety of this soldier.

Zhang Liao aroused the filial piety in his heart. The scout gritted his teeth and said, "This is what he said seriously!"

"It's really there?" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun were both stunned. This scout actually had an old mother at home! Is this Zhang Liao a god?

Of course, Zhang Liao is not a god. The scout's mother was not born out of the future, but inferred.

Although this person was a scout of Qin Feng's army, Zhang Liao saw that the man had patches on his feet, and his body was covered with patches. These patches were neatly made. This was a woman's skill, so he was so delicate. He looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Among the gentry, he might have married a long time ago at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but not so early among the people. Therefore, this scout could not be a person with a wife, so there was only an old mother.

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Liao nodded with a smile, and he was about to succeed.

"No other questions except the weather?!"

"Of course! Apart from the weather, I don't ask anything else. I, Zhang Liao, don't need to lie to you. You are not worthy of my scammers! I don't kill you much, and I don't kill you a lot!"

"Okay! I'll tell you!" The young scout nodded and said it out of his mouth.

"It's been half a month since it's raining?" The news Zhang Liao got from the scout was that the city had not rained for half a month on the way. Zhang Liao looked at the sky outside the camp, and the sky was clear and clear. "It's true!"

"You said you sent me away!" the scout beside him shouted.

"Come and send him down!" Zhang Liao waved his hand and asked Zhang Hu to send the Qin Feng army's scout away.

"Come here, help me cut down a big tree in the nearby dense forest and bring it to you!"

Soon a big tree that had just been cut down from the dense forest was sent. Zhang Liao gently stroked the bark of the big tree, his branches, trunks and leaves with his hands. The fingers were dry, and only the moisture under the roots was heavier.

Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up and immediately issued an order, "Transfer our military order, today the entire army will rest for half a day, and will break through the enemy camp tomorrow morning!"

"General Zhang Liao, you already have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Xu Sheng, Wang Wei and others next to him were all confused.

"Natural!" Zhang Liao said confidently.

"Since you have a plan to defeat the enemy, why not defeat the enemy now and swallow the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army to avoid having too many dreams in the nightclub!"

"No hurry, how can we get things done before things arrive!" Zhang Liao said to the generals under his command.

"What do you want?!"

"Nothing else! You're so hot!" Zhang Liao said this name calmly.

"Hard turmeric?!" Wang Wei understood now. Wang Wei was not only a martial artsman, but also a good person with brains. That's why Liu Mang put Wang Wei and Xu Sheng, the impulsive person, together.

"General, are you trying to attack with fire?!"

"That's right!"

"How do you use fire to attack the Jianghuai area in the general?!" The generals below didn't understand. You should know that Lu Meng naturally had his own plans to hide in the dense forest. First, the Jianghuai area is densely forested, the second is that the rivers in the Jianghuai area are developed, and the other is that the weather in the Jianghuai area is mostly rainy. So if you really need to attack the fire, you may not burn a few grasses.

"Haha, that's why I asked the Qin Feng army scout just now!" Zhang Liao explained to his subordinates, "It's been half a month on the way. Look at this forest, except for the wetness in the foundation, everything else is already dry, even God is standing here!"

"But what about the rivers in this dense forest?!" There are streams in the dense forest. If a fire occurs, these streams can be used to prevent fire!

"So you need to use this hot tinder!" Xu Sheng next to him helped Zhang Liao explain. Xu Sheng had seen Liu Mang use it before, and this thing could burn on the surface of the river, let alone these streams.

"Haha!" Zhang Liao did not refute or agree, but just smiled calmly. "It will naturally be known tomorrow!"
