Wenyou's Trick, Scheming Against Ding Yuan
Just as Liu Xie asked Gao Shun about the training of the army, Gao Shun looked depressed. It turned out that Gao Shun had always wanted to train a well-disciplined and well-equipped army. He had also mentioned it to Ding Yuan, but the cost of this army was something that even the provincial governor of Ding Yuan felt very distressed about. The funds needed to build this so-called Breaking Ranks Camp could build several teams of equal size.
It was also because of this that Ding Yuan did not give a reply to Gao Shun's request for a long time. Gao Shun also knew that what he wanted to do was indeed a little difficult for Ding Yuan. After all, this special army was just an idea of his, but he had never tested it. No one would dare to take such a risk to form such an army. Other than being depressed, he did not have much hatred for Ding Yuan.
However, now that Liu Xie had mentioned it, Gao Shun's depression was evoked, and he conveniently poured out his grievances to Liu Xie.
………
It was late September. For some reason, the rain had started to fall over the past few days. Liu Xie's stronghold was on a slippery mountain, so it was no longer suitable for him to go there. This made Liu Xie feel quite relaxed. He chatted with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who had nothing to do, all day long. However, Ding Yuan was frowning. The army's rations were almost finished. If they did not attack Luoyang, even if they did not fight Dong Zhuo, the army would eventually suffer a crushing defeat.
While Ding Yuan was racking his brains to come up with a countermeasure, all the high-ranking officers of the Western Liang Army were standing solemnly in Dong Zhuo's residence in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was tapping the table with a solemn expression.
When the atmosphere was getting gloomy, Li Ru, who was standing on the left side of Dong Zhuo, coughed as he looked around with his slightly gloomy eyes. He then said," Generals, are you all here?"”
"Everyone is here!" Nearly ten high-ranking generals of the Western Liang Army answered with cupped fists. Li Ru looked at Luo Shixin, Li Que, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and the others with satisfaction and slowly said," Fan Chou!”
"Yes!" Fan Chou immediately stood up and cupped his fists in response.
"Originally, Ming Gong wanted you to lead the army to pursue Liu Xie, but because Ding Yuan's army was stationed outside, he cancelled this plan.”
"I know!" The bearded Fan Chou had an ashamed expression as he spoke heavily.
"Good!" Li Ru clapped his hands." We've been besieged by Ding Yuan for almost half a month. The reason why we didn't have a good fight with him must be because you're not happy about it." Li Ru paused for a moment." We let him be arrogant for half a month because we were waiting for the right time. Now, the time has come!"”
Li Ru suddenly raised his voice and said loudly," Ding Yuan's army is short of food, and the morale of the army is in turmoil. Tonight is the best time for us to ambush them!”
"Yes! We will follow your orders!" Almost all the generals stood up, their blood boiling. They were all filled with fighting spirit. Ever since the battle between Luo Shixin and Lu Bu, Li Ru had not allowed them to fight. They were the Western Liang Army, and the fighting spirit in their hearts could not be easily extinguished. Therefore, everyone had a bellyful of fire in their hearts, waiting to vent it today.
"Good!" Dong Zhuo slammed the table and laughed." This is the real Xi Liang men. All of them are men of indomitable spirit! Alright, alright, I'll listen to your orders!”
Dong Zhuo boosted the morale of the team and asked Li Ru to start making arrangements.
A mysterious smile appeared on Li Ru's face." Ding Yuan's camp is set up at Qingping Post, which is five miles away from Luoyang's eastern city gate. The position of the post is fluctuating. Luo Shixin, Zhang Ji, listen up!”
"I'm here!" Luo Shixin and Zhang Ji, who had a solemn expression on their faces, stepped forward at almost the same time and replied loudly.
"The two of you will personally lead the lord's personal guards, five thousand Flying Bear Army, and five thousand troops from each division to find a place where it is easy to hide in Qingping Ridge. When Ding Yuan's camp is on fire, charge out together and attack Ding Yuan's tent. Bring Ding Yuan's head back to the lord!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Fan Chou, listen up!"
"I'm here!"
"Take 3,000 men and harass Ding Yuan's camp until Lu Bu comes out. After Lu Bu comes out, don't linger in battle. Lead Lu Bu to the Fu River 10 miles north of Qingping Gang. After luring him over, light a fire on the spot. If you successfully complete the mission, you will be rewarded with a great merit!”
"Yes, sir!" Although Fan Chou also wanted to fight, it was better to obey military orders, so he agreed.
"Hwa Xiong, listen up!"
"Yes!" The Kansai man, Hwa Xiong, walked out with a cold expression.
"You will lead the 5,000 troops of the main division to the upper reaches of Fuyang City. When you see a fire rising downstream, you will quickly break the dike in the upper reaches of Fuyang City. At the same time, you will kill the generals and try to keep Lu Bu by the Fuyang River. Of course, you must be careful of Lu Bu.”
"Yes, sir!" Although Hwa Xiong was extremely unconvinced, he didn't show it on his face. He thought to himself that he would definitely compete with Lu Bu!
Seeing this, Li Ru nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he took out his command arrow and said to Li Que and Guo Si," Li Que, Guo Si, listen up!”
"Yes!"
"The two of you will lead ten thousand men and ambush near the main gate of Ding Yuan's camp. When you see Lu Bu being lured away by Fan Chou, immediately lead your troops into the camp and set fire everywhere. In short, just mess up Ding Yuan's camp and make them chaotic.”
"Yes, sir!"
"The rest of the generals will stay in Luoyang to protect the lord's safety and intimidate the villains in the city!”
"Yes, sir!" The rest of the people agreed loudly.
Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Li Ru had completed his arrangements." Everyone followed Wenyou's plan. If there's anyone who doesn't respect you, we'll follow the military law!" Alright, everyone, go get ready!"
All the generals of the Western Liang Army left Dong Zhuo's residence one after another. They had all prepared their own things. Li Ru finally had the time to sit down and take a sip of tea.
" Wenyou," Dong Zhuo sat down and looked at Li Ru with a slightly puzzled look." I don't understand one thing. How did you know that the Fu River was going to flood recently and set up in advance?"”
" Haha," Li Ru laughed proudly." It's autumn now, and it's always rainy. It just so happened that it rained heavily a few days ago. I figured that the rain would last for a long time, so I secretly sent people to block the upstream of Fu River. I didn't expect it to be useful today. Haha, this is also the end of Ding Yuanhe!"”
" Haha," Dong Zhuo also laughed." After this battle, let's see who dares to go against me!"”
………
The autumn rain continued, and the entire world seemed to have calmed down. As the sky gradually darkened, Liu Xie did not know why, but he suddenly felt extremely frustrated.
"Is something going to happen?" Liu Xie had a bad premonition. He opened the tent and looked at the heavy rain outside. He frowned and thought to himself.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" After patrolling the camp, Gao Shun, who was still drenched in rain, happened to pass by Liu Xie's tent. Seeing Liu Xie standing there, he couldn't help but ask.
Gao Shun did not know why, but he liked to talk to Liu Xie. This young prince seemed to be very interested in his training methods, and from time to time, he would say some jaw-dropping training methods. However, when he went back and thought about it, Gao Shun realized that these strange training methods were very effective.
This way, Gao Shun could not help but become even more interested in Liu Xie.
