There were two sides to the story.
Liu Bei received the invitation. Not only did he mobilize the 3,000 soldiers of Pingyuan Prefecture, but he also borrowed 2,000 cavalry from Gongsun Zan, as well as Zhao Zilong from Shijiazhuang Jia Zhuang.
Even though she had betrayed Chen Mu…
However, Liu Bei's strategy was still the same as Chen Mu's.
They would try their best to escort the citizens of Pingyuan County to Dong Hai County.
He made friends with a rich merchant in the East China Sea and Mi Zhu, the other driver of Xuzhou.
He would try his best to turn Qu County into Liu Bei's source of soldiers to restrict and balance the aristocratic families of Xu Prefecture. This would prevent the aristocratic families of Xu Prefecture from being unwilling to support Xu Prefecture, causing them to have no soldiers to use!
However, Liu Bei's plan to have the people follow him was executed very poorly.
Because Liu Bei had tacitly approved of the expansion of the Chen Clan of Pingyuan and forced Chen Mu away, Liu Bei's reputation among the people of Pingyuan had plummeted.
One had to know.
A considerable portion of the citizens in Pingyuan County were Yellow Turban refugees recruited by Chen Mu!
Liu Bei had driven Chen Mu away and had even wanted to kill him. How could these Yellow Turban refugees have a good impression of Liu Bei?
In the end, less than 5,000 people followed Liu Bei south!
The reason why these people went south was not because they were moved by Liu Bei, but because the aristocratic families of Pingyuan County were pressing them too hard. If they did not follow Liu Bei, they would have no way out!
Although Liu Bei was helpless, he could only accept reality.
Although 5,000 people were not a lot, it was still meat no matter how small a mosquito was.
"Big brother, are you sure you can successfully ambush Cao Bing here?”
Outside Qu County.
Qu Mountain.
Guan Yu was worried.
"Don't worry, Chief Yun!"
"That Xiahou Dun is just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to strategize.”
"As long as we lure Xiahou Dun into Qu Mountain and set him on fire, I guarantee that Xiahou Dun will never return!”
"Didn't we ambush the Yellow Turban many times when we were fighting the Yellow Turban?”
"This time, it's just another fire!”
Liu Bei was full of confidence.
I, Liu Bei, don't know war?
Guan Yu raised his head to look at the sky, feeling his eyelids twitching.
However, Guan Yu did not know what was wrong.
There was nothing wrong with the planning process.
It was summer now, and the weather was dry, so it was easy to go off fire.
Liu Bei was at the Funiu Slope, which was the only way to Qu County.
On the left of the Crouching Bull Slope was Qu Mountain, and on the right was the Iron Forest. Both were easy places to hide soldiers.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led their troops to lie in ambush on both sides of the Crouching Bull Slope. They were waiting for Xiahou Dun to arrive before setting up a fire in the forest.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yun led a troop to lure the enemy. They could only win, not lose.
No matter how one looked at it.
Guan Yu couldn't see the problem.
After all, Chen Mu had once suggested this deduction to Liu Bei.
But what Guan Yu did not know was…
Fire stratagems were unlike ordinary ambush stratagems.
He had to consider the right time and place.
And the specific tactics, the time to send troops, the number of meals, the number of scouts, how to lure the enemy, and so on, were all very particular.
Naturally, Chen Mu would not reveal the specifics during the deduction.?
However, Liu Bei had applied it forcefully!
.....
On the official road.
Zhao Yun fought and retreated.
Xiahou Dun led his troops to pursue.
"General, that Zhao Yun is clearly luring the enemy. We cannot pursue him!" Han Hao advised.”
"Don't worry," Xiahou Dun said with a smile. Chancellor Guo told me that Chen Mu had once helped Liu Bei plan and made arrangements in Dong Hai County. Although Chen Mu has followed the lord, Liu Bei will definitely use Chen Mu's plan.”
"This Zhao Yun lured the enemy to lure me to the ambush area and destroy my army to make a name for himself. In the future, his words in Xu Prefecture will carry weight!”
"Since you know it's a trap, why are you still chasing?" Han Hao asked suspiciously. If they were ambushed, wouldn't they suffer heavy casualties?”
Xiahou Dun laughed loudly. Beat him at his own game!"
"Chancellor Guo has calculated the weather. Although there will be a strong wind tonight, there will be a downpour after the strong wind.”
"Chancellor Guo was certain that Liu Bei wanted to use fire, but unfortunately, Liu Bei doesn't understand the weather. How can this fire trick be used so easily?”
"If we're lucky, we'll capture Liu Bei alive today and avenge Chen Mu!”
"After all, Chen Mu praised me, Xiahou Dun, for expanding my territory and fighting against tens of thousands of troops with spears and halberds. Haha!"
"How can I not return Chen Mu's gift?”
Xiahou Dun was elated.
When Chen Mu joined Cao Camp, he would naturally praise all the generals in Cao Camp, especially the imperial generals.
Although he didn't praise her in person, he said it in front of Cao Song.
However, it was precisely because of this that Xiahou Dun felt that Chen Mu's praise was very comforting!
"Since that's the case, it's better for General to be careful!" Han Hao said, sweating profusely.”
"With Chancellor Guo's plan, there won't be a problem!" Xiahou Dun said with a smile. I was calculating the time. Otherwise, why do you think I slowed down the army? He's just stalling for time!"
Zhao Yun was luring the enemy at the front. Seeing Xiahou Dun being cautious, he couldn't help but feel worried."This Xiahou Dun is so cautious. How can we lure him to the Crouching Bull Slope?”
Thinking of this…
Zhao Yunmeng came up with a plan. He asked the soldiers to take off their armor and weapons and throw them on the ground.
The soldiers of Qingzhou had poor military discipline. When they saw the armor and weapons, their eyes turned red and they increased the speed of their pursuit!
Xiahou Dun was in the middle of the army.
Seeing the army in chaos, he could not help but curse,""Damned Zhao Yun, how dare you cheat!”
"Han Hao, Zhao Yun is already suspicious. I'll split my forces with you. I'll go after Zhao Yun first!”
