After defeating Guan Hai's vanguard, Cheng Chong had already sent out his scouts in Guantao.
The news of the Yellow Turban Army's operation was immediately sent back to the capital.
Cheng Chong immediately gathered his subordinates for a meeting.
Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao were all gathered together.
"Everyone should know the situation. Zhang Jiao's army will arrive in a day.”
"What do you think?"
"The mission we received from General Lu Zhi is to hold the Qu River defense line for ten days." Right now, the enemy was outnumbered and it was not suitable to deal with them head-on. It was better to stall for time and wait for an opportunity!”
Lu Bu nodded and said,"Wenyuan's idea is also my idea." It's already a great contribution to destroy the Yellow Turban vanguard. We just need to delay them!”
Cheng Chong narrowed his eyes slightly and did not express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun had obviously not fully adapted to the change in her identity. In this kind of military meeting, she seemed a little uneasy.
Seeing Cheng Chong's question, Zhao Yun hurriedly stood up and hesitated for a moment.
"My lord, I feel that Zhang Jiao's 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers are coming at us menacingly.”
"If they want to cross the river, we definitely can't stop them. It would be wishful thinking to delay blindly.”
"In my opinion, it's best to combine active offense and passive defense to slow down Zhang Jiao's reinforcements!”
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fell into deep thought.
They all felt that what Zhao Yun said made sense. She was quite knowledgeable.
His Lord really had the foresight to see through people!
A satisfied smile appeared on Cheng Chong's face.
Zhao Yun's thoughts coincided with his.
It was definitely impossible to defend.
Offense was the best defense!
"I agree with Zilong."
Cheng Chong said softly, making the final decision.
"The Yellow Turban forces are strong, and we are outnumbered. Moreover, we are in a defensive position. They will never expect us to have the courage to take the initiative to attack!”
"From Guantao to Winding River, there is a small valley here.”
"We can set up an ambush here and catch the Yellow Turban Army off guard. We can definitely give the Yellow Turban Army a huge blow.”
"Fengxian, Wenyuan, Zilong, you will complete this mission. The three of you will lead the Thunder Fire Cavalry and secretly cross the Qu River to ambush us!”
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun nodded.
Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, I'm not done yet!" Cheng Chong laughed.”
" The number of Thunder Fire Cavalry is still small. A wave of ambushes can only slightly throw the Yellow Turban Army into disarray and make them bleed a little, but it's impossible to hurt their bones or completely destroy the Yellow Turban Army.”
"Therefore, the Thunder Fire Cavalry should stop while they are ahead. After killing for a while, they should retreat into this forest. Zhang Jiao will definitely organize an army to pursue you in his rage.”
"Don't retreat too quickly. Leave a tail behind at all times so that the Yellow Turban Army can catch up and lead them into this dense forest!”
"Yuanfu, lead the infantry and set up many kindling items in the forest! When the Yellow Turban Army enters the dense forest, we'll greet them properly and let them experience the fear of fire!”
Hearing Cheng Chong's arrangement, the eyes of the generals lit up.
Wonderful!
This was a scheme within a scheme!
The Thunder and Fire Cavalry were both an ambush and a bait.
It was the bait to lure the Yellow Turban Army into the sea of fire and hell!
One chain after another was enough to drive Zhang Jiao crazy!
Zhao Yun sincerely admired him,"My lord, you have such a good plan. I am ashamed of my inferiority!"”
"The ambush in the valley was already beyond the Yellow Turban's expectations!”
"Another fire attack in the forest is enough to reduce the morale of the Yellow Turban army to the lowest point!”
Cheng Chong smiled and waved his hand. Remember, your actions must be secretive. You must not give yourself away!”
"Don't worry, my lord!"
The generals quickly left, leading the Thunder Fire Cavalry to the ambush location.
Zhou Cang led 2,000 infantry and supplies, while Cheng Chong led the Divine Arms Battalion. They also secretly crossed the river and began their operation.
Although the defense line on the north bank of the Winding River was still intact, it had unknowingly become an empty camp!
......
Upstream, Liu Bei's camp.
"What did you say? Cheng Chong's troops have already crossed the river secretly at night?”
Liu Bei sat in the main seat, listening to his subordinate's report, somewhat confused.
"What is he trying to do? There were only five thousand people, but they were not obediently defending the line of defense. Could it be that they wanted to take the initiative to fight the Yellow Turban Army?”
"Isn't this courting death? No matter how elite his troops were, how could they survive under such a huge difference in strength!”
"This is a matter of national importance, how can he be so rash! His defeat is a small matter, but it implicates us, Duke Lu, and the great cause of pacifying the Yellow Turban. He can't atone for it even if he dies ten thousand times!”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also confused.
They couldn't understand Cheng Chong's thoughts.
"Quickly send a large number of scouts to closely monitor the movements on the other side of the river.”
"If Cheng Chong is defeated, we can make preparations!”
"I can't stay here and be buried with his foolish actions!”
