The southern foot of the mountain.
It was just a group of hills that extended from Mount Song.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the world was hot and dry. The leaves were yellow and falling.
Gu Qing stood on a hill and took in the terrain of the mountain range!
"Sir!"
"It's not easy to set up an ambush here!" Xiahou Dun said.”
Cao Hong echoed,"The ravines are not deep, and the mountains are not dense. There's no way to hide people!"”
"Haha!"
Gu Qing stepped on the dead leaves under his feet and said with a faint smile,"The hundreds of cavalrymen will all be under Yuan Rang's command. You will first send out scouts to patrol along the main road towards Liang County. Once you see enemy soldiers, report immediately!”
"Here!"
Xiahou Dun agreed.
"Zilian, lead some infantry and lay low under the withered leaves here!" Gu Qing's gaze was long and deep as he spoke.”
"Sir!"
Cao Hong's lips moved slightly.
It was as if he wanted to know the entire plan!
Gu Qing turned to look at the two generals and said in a deep voice,"Not only do we have to stop Yang Feng and Han Xian, but we also have to let the emperor and the officials resting by the Ying River know that they are being hunted. Therefore, this battle will not be so easy.”
"As you wish!"
Xiahou Dun held his sword and bowed.
Gu Qing stared into the distance and said indifferently," When you discover the enemy's tracks, immediately lead the cavalry to escort the grain and gold and silver into the hilly road. After colliding with them, start to flee in the direction of the Ying River in a panic. When you approach the exit of the road, overturn the carriage and scatter money and grain!”
"Why?"
The two generals were puzzled!
Gu Qing's eyes were full of smiles as he explained,""Han Xian, many of Yang Feng's soldiers are from the White Wave Army, which is also the remnants of the Yellow Turban army. They can't resist the temptation of grain and gold and silver, so they will definitely snatch it, completely disrupting the enemy's pursuit and blocking many people on the road!”
"I understand!"
Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up!
Gu Qing continued," The autumn weather is clear and refreshing. The withered trees and fallen leaves cover the hills. It's the season when the mountain fires are flourishing. As long as you see more than a hundred enemy soldiers rushing out of the mountain path, Zilian will immediately lead the army to shoot the dead trees on the main road with fire arrows to start the attack. Then, Yuan Rang will turn the army around and counterattack!”
"General's command!"
The two of them were shocked!
Gu Qing swept his gaze across the two thousand soldiers behind him and said in a deep voice,""You must remember that you cannot make any mistakes in this step. Otherwise, even if you are brave, you will not be able to defeat the enemy's tens of thousands of soldiers!”
"Here!"
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong replied!
"Go!"
Gu Qing waved his hand.
Han Xian and Yang Feng came with the momentum to intercept.
What he needed to do now was to set up a pocket and wait for the man to fall into the trap!
As for holding back against Xu Huang, he did not say anything, nor did he make any arrangements!
When two armies fought in the mountains and fires, showing mercy to the enemy in such a situation was treating one's own life lightly.
If Xu Huang really wanted to defect to Cao Cao, with his abilities, he naturally wouldn't die in this battle. He might even defect to Cao Cao!
"Sir!"
"Since we've already arranged everything, let's retreat five miles!" Dian Wei said worriedly.”
"No need!"
Gu Qing pointed to the top of his head and said with a faint smile,"It's the beginning of noon now, and according to my calculations, the pursuers will appear here at the third quarter of the day. At that time, the scorching sun will appear in the direction above our heads and illuminate the road. The enemy will avoid the sunlight, which is why I asked Zilian to ambush here!”
"Is that possible?"
Cao Hong commanded his soldiers to hide under the withered leaves.
His heart began to pound. After all, they did not send any scouts to Liang County, so how could Gu Qing be so sure?
"I see!"
Dian Wei's eyes were filled with curiosity.”
Gu Qing shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry." It's just understanding some human nature and common sense. It's not a military strategy at all. When you face a truly powerful enemy one day, you will naturally understand that there are rules to marching, camping, and arranging troops according to the right time, place, and people!”
"Here!"
Dian Wei shouted!
The army set up an ambush.
The scout headed south for ten miles.
Hiding among the withered trees and leaves, quietly waiting for the enemy's tracks!
At the same time, Yang Feng and Han Xian also led their troops into the southern foot of Mount Song and headed towards Yangzhai City!
"General!"
"The road ahead is broken!"
Xu Huang rode his warhorse and looked at Yang Feng with a complicated expression.
In the past, he had thought that Yang Feng was a commander who could understand the general situation. Now, it seemed that he was only so-so.
Whether they tried to stop or kill Cao Cao's army, they would be charged with the crime of offending the emperor. They would also lose the merit of protecting the emperor's return to the east. Therefore, it was better to surrender to Cao Cao than to stop the emperor.
Moreover, the march day and night had caused many soldiers to have more complaints in their hearts and almost mutiny.
Amongst them.
Han Xian's soldiers were the most resentful.
Even when two armies were fighting, they did not have such a terrifying marching strength.
They set off from Luoyang and rushed all the way to Liang County, then rushed to Yangdi without stopping.
If there were signs of defeat in this battle, the army would definitely scatter in a hubbub. When the general completely lost his soldiers, he would only become a loser in this chaotic world, a skeleton under the feet of the other powerful vassals!
