The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 190 Breakout at Night
Li Shan didn't think so much at first, and he didn't think about Li Yuan's strategy and intentions until the last few days. After thinking about it, he was surprised to find that Li Yuan had already thought about things that would happen several years later, when they were still thinking about the current gains and losses. , Li Yuan has already started his grand plan.

After such a match, Liu Bei is far behind, and it is not unfair to lose to Li Yuan. At the same time, it also made Li Shan truly feel Li Yuan's strength for the first time, even when Li Yuan defeated Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. He didn't pay too much attention to it, and he didn't realize the unfathomable depth of this peerless warrior until now.

Although Liu Bei was not convinced when he heard the words, he also knew that Li Yuan's ability was much higher than him, so he really couldn't believe it, and said, "Military Master, what should we do now?"

"There's only one way to do it for now."

"What way?" Everyone focused on Li Shan.

"Break out and escape." Li Shan only said four words, but these four words were enough to disappoint Liu Bei.

"Could it be that we can only break through and escape? Is there no other feasible way?" Liu Bei said unwillingly. He first escaped from Beihai, and now he is going to escape from Licheng. Is Yuan chasing and running?

"This is the only way to survive, my lord, please consider carefully." Li Shan persuaded, he knew that Liu Bei was dissatisfied, but the situation is stronger than others, and the situation cannot be reversed if he is not convinced.

"Brother, let's listen to the military adviser. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." Guan Yu also persuaded him. He was afraid that Liu Bei would not be able to figure it out, so he wanted to fight Li Yuan to the end.

"Then I will follow the arrangement of the military adviser." Liu Bei nodded.

In the evening, Li Yuan hadn't rested yet, and Chen Gong was by his side.

"Gongtai, it's so late, you should go to rest." Seeing Chen Gong's tired face, Li Yuan must be sleepy, so he asked him to go back to rest.

Chen Gong shook his head, "My lord hasn't rested yet, how dare my subordinates rest first."

"I just can't sleep. It's not a problem for me not to sleep for a day or two, but you can't." Li Yuan, who has practiced martial arts all the year round, is much more energetic than ordinary people. It would have a big impact, but as a scribe, Chen Gong's physical fitness is only average, and coupled with working day and night, he gets tired easily.

"I'll sleep right away." Chen Gong insisted.

Seeing this, Li Yuan stopped trying to persuade him. He walked out of the tent, blowing the night breeze to wake him up a little, and Chen Gong followed suit.

Li Yuan raised his head and glanced at the sky, only to see that the sky was completely dark, without any starlight or moonlight, he couldn't help saying: "Tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high. I don't know if Liu Bei will attack."

Chen Gong also glanced at the sky, "It's also possible, now that ten days have passed, we haven't attacked the city, and Liu Bei hasn't made any movement, maybe he's preparing something, but as the lord said, with Li Ru on the side assisting, then He will definitely not sit still, there is not much food and grass in Licheng, it is estimated that it can only support Liu Bei's army for about 20 days now, it is time for him to break through, it is impossible to wait until the food and grass are completely gone."

"Gongtai, where do you think Liu Bei will break through?"

Now Liu Bei is besieged by Li Yuan and Cao Cao, and there are only two roads to go, Cao Cao is in the west, and Li Yuan is in the east.

"There should be three possibilities."

"Three possibilities? Isn't there only two ways to go, east and west? How come there are three possibilities?" Li Yuan was a little confused. Could it be that Liu Bei could still escape from the sky?

"The first is to break out to the east with all our strength, the second is to break out to the west with all our strength, and the third possibility is to break out from both sides at the same time." Chen Gong said slowly.

"Break out on both sides at the same time? Does Liu Bei want to separate his troops and escape?" Li Yuan still didn't quite understand what Chen Gong meant.

"No, the so-called breakthrough on both sides at the same time is actually true on one side and fake on the other. As for the fake one, it's just deliberately restraining our army or Cao's army."

"Why did Liu Bei do this? Wouldn't it be better to break through with all his strength?" Li Yuan believed that it was best to concentrate all the soldiers and horses for an assault, otherwise it would be a waste of troops.

"My lord is right, but Licheng is not big. For example, if Liu Bei tries his best to break through to the west, then our army will definitely notice the abnormality. Then we can rush into the city from the east gate, and then go out from the west gate to join Cao Cao. Attack Liu Bei, this is the disadvantage of breaking through with all one's strength. If Liu Bei arranges soldiers and horses to break through on both sides, it will not only confuse us and make us wonder which side is real and which side is fake, but also avoid being flanked .” Chen Gong explained to Li Yuan.

"Gongtai's words are reasonable." Li Yuan understood the truth after listening to it. Without Chen Gong's analysis for him, he really would not have thought of so much. He asked again, "Where does Gongtai think Liu Bei broke through from?" Is it more likely?"

"From the perspective of geographical location, Liu Bei is more likely to break through Cao Cao from the west. After all, even if he breaks through to the east, he can only go back to the North Sea. If he goes east, he will be in the sea. Could it be that Liu Bei? Can you still jump into the sea?" Speaking of this, Chen Gong also felt a little funny.

Li Yuan thought it was the same. If he went east, Liu Bei could only return to Beihai.

"And the lord has a flying cavalry army of nearly 5000 people, and the flying cavalry army is good at riding and shooting. I don't think Liu Bei will take this risk to break through here unless he is confident that he can escape the flying cavalry army's pursuit, but this is a possibility. Not much." Chen Gong thinks that the Flying Cavalry Army is a very big threat to Liu Bei, if there is no Flying Cavalry Army, there is still a possibility of Liu Bei breaking through here, but with the Flying Cavalry Army there, the possibility is almost zero.

At this time, Zhao Yun walked over and said: "Brother, just now a soldier of the flying cavalry army found movement in Licheng, and a soldier and horse came out of the city, but it was too dark, so the number of people and the leading general did not know who it was. who."

"Sure enough, we are here. According to Gongtai's ambush, we wait for the enemy to come." Even though it was night, Li Yuan still arranged for the flying cavalry to scout for information. A group of elite flying cavalry came from Gongsun Zan. People used to have the habit of fighting at night, so their night vision is very good, even at night they can see things more clearly than ordinary people.

Everyone went to prepare one after another. Tonight was destined to be not a peaceful night. Some soldiers who had already fallen asleep were also woken up, but they didn't have any complaints, because it didn't matter if they were tired or tired if they were able to survive outside the battle.

Liu Beijun sneaked to the outside of Li Yuan's camp. They didn't light their torches, and everyone held weapons. Because the surroundings were pitch black, they moved very slowly. After an hour of groping, they finally arrived at their destination.
