Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Looking at the Han army's retreating soldiers like the receding tide, Yan Yan couldn't believe his eyes.

Until I saw the dust raised by the Han army as they fled, until I saw their fleeing backs, until I saw their swords and armor thrown away on the ground...

Only then did Yan Yan realize that he had won.

He defeated the Han army, which was an unprecedented victory!

It was a great and beautiful victory.

Yan Yan's spirits were greatly boosted, his will to fight boiling in his heart, so he spurred his horse and rushed forward like chasing prey.

He rode his horse at full speed all the way, urging his troops to advance, pursuing the victory and killing all the Han troops without leaving a single survivor.

At this time.

Yan Pu had led the ambush troops and attacked Yan Yan.

Seeing Yan Yan preparing to chase, he immediately rode his horse to catch up, and laughed loudly in congratulation:

"Congratulations to General Yan for this great victory. It will enhance the prestige of our country and the prestige of the general's army!"

When Yan Yan heard Yan Pu's congratulations, there was no joy on his face, but rather displeasure.

Yan Yan naturally knew that the great victory in this battle was thanks to the strategy proposed by Yan Pu last night.

But how could he, who valued his reputation so much, admit his own recklessness, and how could he attribute the credit to Yan Pu?
Seeing that Yan Yan not only did not stop but also treated him as nothing, Yan Pu immediately whipped up his horse and got ahead of Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was stopped suddenly. The warhorse under him neighed loudly and stood up.

Yan Yan was forced to stop and was filled with anger. He asked unhappily:
"Yan Pu, what do you want to do?"

Yan Pu bowed and advised:

"Old General, since you have already won, why not quit while you are ahead and return to the city immediately."

Yan Yan snorted disdainfully and said proudly:
"It's just a small victory. How can I be satisfied with this and retreat?"

"I will kill Deng Ai, annihilate all the Han troops, and return with a great victory!"

Say it.

Yan Yan raised his spear and shouted at Yan Pu:
"If you stand in my way, don't blame me for disobeying orders!"

Yan Pu was shocked and froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Yan Yan snorted coldly, rode his horse with his spear, bypassed Yan Pu and continued to chase.

Yan Pu finally reacted and was shocked. He shouted:
"General Yan, be careful of traps, don't chase them lightly!"

Yan Yan refused to listen to the advice and disappeared in the dust in a flash.

The main general had already started chasing, so naturally the Qin troops followed suit.

Yan Pu sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and had to lead his troops to follow very reluctantly.

at this time.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, more than 10,000 Qin troops were winding eastward like a giant snake.

Jiangzhou is a narrow and mountainous area.

As we go along the Yangtze River, the terrain becomes increasingly narrow and long.

Yan Yan led his army in pursuit.

At the beginning, the terrain was relatively open, but after chasing for a few miles, the mountains gradually rose.

The roads on both sides also became narrower.

On a ridge on the north bank, Xiao Fang looked calm and relaxed.

He sat leisurely on a lounge chair, sipping a glass of wine, enjoying the breeze and admiring the scenery below the mountain.

Da da da~~
There was a rush of horse hoofbeats.

A scout galloped up the mountain.

"Prime Minister Xiao, Yan Yan has hidden an ambush, and General Deng has retreated in defeat."

After listening to this, Xiao Fang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but continued to taste the wine.

Lu Xun, who was beside him, was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Fang. His eyes clearly showed admiration.

Xiao Fang seemed to have anticipated that even if Yan Yan was provoked or fought recklessly, Yan Pu would not just sit there and do nothing.

Although Xiao Fang knew that Yan Pu's strategy was far inferior to his own, this ambush strategy was just a basic operation and it was impossible for Yan Pu not to understand it.

Therefore, Xiao Fang concluded that Yan Pu would definitely use an ambush to help Yan Yan.

Now the results have confirmed that everything was exactly as Xiao Fang expected.

Lu Xun was full of admiration and exclaimed in amazement:
"The Prime Minister really knows everything about the Qin army..."

Xiao Fang smiled indifferently, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

To Xiao Fang, dealing with Yan Pu was just like crushing an ant. There was nothing to be proud of.

What he wanted was to see through Yan Pu's trick, kill all the Qin soldiers, and trample Yan Yan's dignity under his feet. He finished the wine.

A murderous aura suddenly jumped out of Xiao Fang's eyes, and his gaze was like an arrow, shooting towards the valley under the ridge.

Amid the rolling dust and fog, Deng Ai's defeated troops had already passed through the valley.

Behind the defeated soldiers, Yan Yan followed closely with nearly 10,000 Qin soldiers, and most of the Qin army had already entered the valley.

Seeing this, Xiao Fang knew the time had come and raised his glass:
"It's time to show the Qin army the power of our ambush!"

"Pass the order down, and attack with ambush."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Xun quickly passed on the order.

In an instant.

A signal flag rose slowly from the valley.

In the woods and bushes on both sides of the valley, more than ten thousand Han soldiers seemed to be awakened.

They held weapons in their hands, stared at the Qin soldiers who had already entered the valley, ready to kill them.

The road in the valley became increasingly narrow, but Yan Yan didn't notice it at all.

At this moment, his eyes were burning with anger, and he only wanted to catch up with Deng Ai's defeated army as soon as possible.

"It is said that the Han army is unrivaled in bravery, but it is no more than this."

A sneer appeared on Yan Yan's lips, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

The Qin soldiers behind him were full of fighting spirit, all wanting to wash away the shame of repeated defeats by the Han army.

however.

However, they did not realize that they had unknowingly stepped into Xiao Fang's trap.

"Old General, be careful! Be careful!"

Yan Pu chased all the way, not even taking a breath, and shouted behind Yan Yan.

"Is it a scam?"

Yan Yan's heart skipped a beat.

But in the blink of an eye, he ignored Yan Pu's words and continued to gallop on his horse.

"Old General, please look at the mountains on both sides!"

Seeing that Yan Yan ignored him, Yan Pu could only shout at the top of his lungs.

Yan Yan then slowed down his horse and looked around.

The terrain here is steep, with dense woods on both sides of the valley, making it a perfect place for an ambush.

Yan Yan, who was so focused on the pursuit, hadn't noticed it before.

Taking advantage of Yan Yan's slowing down, Yan Pu chased after him and shouted:

"The Han army clearly has more than 20,000 people, but the Han army that just fought with our army did not have that many people at all."

"In that case, where are the remaining Han troops?"

Yan Yan's eyes were confused and he remained silent for a while.

"If Deng Ai pretends to be defeated, the rest of the Han army will surely ambush on both sides of the valley. If the ambush troops come out later, what should we do?"

When Yan Yan heard this, his heart trembled and he instantly became a little more sober.

Although he is reckless, he is not stupid.

After Yan Pu's reminder, although he was unwilling to admit it, he already knew in his heart that he might have fallen into Xiao Fang's trap.

However, he couldn't save his face by admitting that he had been tricked.

Especially towards Yan Pu, the strategist who made him unhappy.

If I admit that I have been tricked now, won’t I be laughed at by Yan Pu?
How can I bear this?
Then, Yan Yan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully:
"If Deng Ai took the initiative to collapse and had planned ahead of time, there is still a possibility that there are ambushes here."

"But in the previous battle, it was clearly me who defeated Deng Ai. How could he have had the time to lay an ambush here?"

Yan Pu was speechless after being asked.

He thought about it carefully and felt that what Yan Yan said made sense.

Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Fang was deceiving, Deng Ai should be ordered to find an opportunity to retreat and lure the enemy into the valley.

Just now, Deng Ai and his entourage were clearly fighting to the death.

If Yan Pu had not launched an ambush, Deng Ai might have already defeated the Qin army. So what was the point of setting up an ambush here?

unless.

Xiao Fang had the ability to predict the future and could calculate that they would defeat Deng Ai with an ambush, and then he set up an ambush here in advance.

But this kind of foresight is simply beyond human ability!
This is a power that only gods have! (End of this chapter)
