This was the first battle, and everyone wanted to show off.
Therefore, even the three sworn brothers were red in the face.
"My lord, I only need to bring 500 men to take Han Zhuo and He Luan's heads!”
Guan Yu squinted his phoenix eyes and looked down at the world.
"Why do I need 500? I only need 300 and I'll definitely kill the two thieves!”
Li Cunxiao was even fiercer, completely disregarding the 5,000 strong army.
They were really so fierce. Sun Li, who wanted to show off, could only hide in a corner and tremble.
They were all big shots. They couldn't win, they couldn't win!
He did not have the courage to say that he only needed 300 people.
"Generals, don't fight!"
Liu Ji was speechless. You guys are arguing so much, completely ignoring the existence of a military advisor like me.
"We can't be reckless in this battle!"
"What do you think, Military Advisor?"
Xiao Yi didn't stop the generals from competing for credit, but he didn't expect Liu Ji to stop them.
Liu Ji said," My Lord, the reason why Han Zhuo led his troops to attack us was because he was deceived by a traitor and slandered us for rebelling. If we lead our troops to destroy him, we can ensure temporary peace, but the crime of rebellion will be confirmed.”
Xiao Yi nodded, thinking that what Liu Ji said made sense.
Although he did not care about the Eastern Han court, he did not want to be labeled as a traitor.
One had to know that in this era, reputation was above the law. The contest for hegemony had yet to begin, and he had already become a traitor. How could he recruit talents in the future?
"What do you think we should do?"
Xiao Yi asked sincerely.
Liu Ji said," The whole thing must have started because of He Luan. We should use a trick to capture He Luan. It's best if we capture him alive. As for the others, they would not harm a single one of his soldiers.
Then, the lord personally brought He Luan to the provincial governor's office to complain.
This way, he could deter Han Zhuo and preserve his reputation.”
Liu Ji's eyes were particularly bright. It was obvious that he already had a plan in mind.
"We'll do as the military counselor says!"
He was a layman in the field of war, so he could rest assured that Liu Ji was in charge.
Liu Ji immediately made the arrangements.
Gao Changgong was left behind to guard the house, while the other five generals moved out together, leading two thousand troops out of the city!
Liu Ji gave each of them four hundred men, Sun Li as bait, and the other four as ambushes.
In order to prevent the enemy from prying too much into their strength, Liu Ji chose to fight at the border between Zhuo County and Lin County.
He Luan was not a famous general, and he was only at the level of a quasi third-rate in battle.
In front of Liu Ji's scheme, he was like an obedient child, obediently led by the nose.
Not long after, he was lured into a trap.
Sun Li led his troops to turn their spears around, and the other four troops attacked together, trapping the five thousand soldiers in the valley.
"Damn traitor, what kind of a man is he to use schemes and plots? If you have the ability, then fight grandfather head-on!”
He Luan, who was in a dilemma, let out a beast-like roar.
"Zhang Fei from Yan is here. You traitor, do you dare to fight me for 300 rounds?”
Zhang Fei leaped out of his horse, his roar shocking the entire forest!
After being played for a long time, He Luan was full of anger and had no place to vent it. When he saw the black guy take the initiative to provoke him, he immediately exploded in anger.
"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!”
He thought that Zhang Fei was just a little louder and did not take it seriously at all.
He was thinking that if he could kill one of the enemy generals at this time, he would be able to boost their morale and break through the siege!
Therefore, he bravely rushed out!
However, the ideal was very rich, and the reality was very solid.
In just one round, he was captured alive by Zhang Fei.
"Tie him up!"
Zhang Fei threw him into the formation, turned around, and shouted at the county soldiers," Who else is not afraid of death? Come to your Grandpa Zhang and die!"”
The 5,000 soldiers were so frightened that they retreated.
Even the county captain is no match for you. If we go up, won't we be courting death?
The other generals muttered in their hearts.
The deterrent effect had been achieved. Liu Ji walked forward and said,
"He Luan slandered my county magistrate for no reason. We captured him to seek justice from the provincial governor, not to make him our enemy.
"I won't kill you today. Please go back and tell the prefect that Xiao County Magistrate is a good official who loves his people like his own children. He doesn't have the slightest intention of rebelling. Please don't believe the words of a villain and wrongly accuse a good person."
In addition, they had to strengthen their defenses to prevent any sneak attacks.”
With that, he waved the flag, and the soldiers behind him immediately opened up a path for the county soldiers to pass.
"Are you really letting us go?"
"It seems that this county magistrate is not like He Luan said, who only wants people who rebel.”
"There must be some misunderstanding."
With their lives saved, the remaining generals and soldiers were relieved.
The prefect's trusted aide shouted loudly," Thank you for sparing your life, County Magistrate Xiao. We will definitely tell the truth to you, prefect Han!”
In this battle, they had truly experienced the combat strength of Zhuo County!
