The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 266
"Yes, yes, General Zhao, let's go in and have a look." Seeing Lu Lingqi's initiative, the soldiers agreed.

"Don't make a fuss, stay aside for me." Zhao Yun glared at the soldiers, and the soldiers all shut up and ran to other places, because Zhao Yun is a very strict person, and they dare not make jokes about Zhao Yun casually .

"Husband, don't be so stern, we might be able to help if we go to the city." Lu Lingqi sat beside Zhao Yun, next to Zhao Yun's body.

Zhao Yun blushed on the spot, "Lieutenant Lu, don't be like this, many soldiers are watching, and I said that in the army, don't call me husband, but call me General Zhao."

"Hmph, what is Captain Lu, General Zhao? You are my husband, so I don't want to call you General Zhao." Lu Lingqi snorted, he was the only one in the army who dared to talk to Zhao Yun like this.

Zhao Yun knew that Lu Lingqi had such a character and loved her very much, so he didn't get angry, and said, "Senior brother knows that our cavalry is not good for attacking the city, so he left us outside the city. Not only can we not help when we enter the city, but it will also hinder us Other soldiers, so we can't go in, so as not to spoil the important event of the lord."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my husband, and we'll wait outside for the news of Senior Brother's victory." Lu Lingqi sighed.

At this moment, a fast horse ran out from the city and came in front of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun recognized at a glance that the man on horseback was Li Yuan's herald, and knew that Li Yuan must have something to tell him.

"General Zhao, my lord ordered you to lead the flying cavalry army back to the camp to stop Zhang Fei immediately." The herald brought Li Yuan's words to Zhao Yun.

"What, stop Zhang Fei?" Lu Lingqi thought she heard it wrong, "Isn't Zhang Fei in the city, why should we go back to the camp to stop him?"

"My lord said that Zhang Fei is likely to leave from the south gate, and wants to raid our army camp and burn the food and grass, so we must stop him."

"Burn the food and grass?!" Zhao Yun's face changed instantly, because he clearly knew the importance of the food and grass. If Zhang Fei burned the food and grass, they would have to retreat. Although Jiang Xia might also have food and grass, they could occupy the food and grass after defeating Guan Yu. But the quantity is definitely not much, because Jiangxia produces very little grain every year, and the grain and grass used by the army are all transported from Xiangyang, so the grain and grass in Jiangxia are definitely not enough to supply Li Yuan's 5-odd army.

Zhao Yun immediately rode on a fast horse and led the flying cavalry army to the camp with Lu Lingqi. They had to go back as fast as possible.

"Husband, if Zhang Fei really went to our camp, then we should be able to see him when he left the city. Why was there no movement just now?" Lu Lingqi was a little puzzled. They were stationed at the east gate, and Zhang Fei came out from the south gate. Going east, that should be moving within their line of sight, but they found nothing.

Zhao Yun said solemnly: "After Zhang Fei left the city, he probably didn't go east directly, but went to Jiangxia Port to take a boat. The Jingzhou navy has a lot of warships in Jiangxia. Not only can they deceive people by water, but they are also faster than those who go by land. Much faster, so we didn't see them."

After listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, Lu Lingqi suddenly realized that she could use a warship to travel by water, she couldn't help but said, "Zhang Fei is really smart, he was able to escape our eyes and ears and attack the camp."

Zhao Yun shook his head, "No, senior brother once said that Zhang Fei is a top-notch fighter, and he is thick and subtle, but Guan Yu should have come up with such a meticulous plan."

The Flying Cavalry rushed all the way back to the camp, and only 700 soldiers and Gao Shun's camp were left to guard the camp. Gao Shun commanded 800 soldiers to guard the camp. Originally, it was planned to form a camp with only 800 soldiers, but later Li Yuan felt that The number of people was too small, so it was expanded to [-] people. These [-] people were personally selected and trained by Gao Shun. Now he has absolute confidence in the fighting power of the trapped camp.

However, this time he attacked Jiangxia, Li Yuan did not take the trapped camp, but let them guard the camp. The most important thing to guard the camp is to guard the food and grass. Once the food and grass are lost, his tens of thousands of troops can only retreat.

After four or five years of training in the trapped camp, they have never been on the battlefield. This time it was hard to go out, but Li Yuan did not send them to fight, which made many soldiers in the trapped camp feel dissatisfied.

"Sigh, I don't know what my lord thinks. We are trapped in the camp as an elite division. Why didn't he let us follow the army to attack Jiangxia, instead leaving us to guard the camp? It's really overkill." A soldier dissatisfied.

"That's right, that's right. We are the most elite in terms of equipment, and the training time is the longest. I have long wanted to make meritorious service. I thought I would have a chance to perform in this attack on Jingzhou, but my lord did not." Bring us, really let me down." Another person agreed.

"You two, don't talk nonsense. My lord has been marching for many years and has never been defeated. Don't you know how to use soldiers better than my lord?" Hearing someone speak ill of Li Yuan, Gao Shun immediately accused him.

"But General Gao, it's too embarrassing for us to guard the camp here. After all, we are also elite teachers..."

"I know that you are eager to make contributions, but the strength of our camp is to fight field battles rather than siege battles, so this time the lord did not bring us, and guarding the camp is also a very important task. Don't forget that the food and grass of the army are placed in the Inside the camp, we must be vigilant at all times, not to allow the enemy to take advantage of us."

Gao Shun has always been cautious in his work. Even when he was guarding the camp, he did not relax his vigilance. He still sent soldiers out to inquire about information in order to prevent being attacked by the enemy.

As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, a soldier ran in from the camp gate and said, "Report to General Gao, there are enemy troops in the south, and they are very close to our camp, probably less than four miles away."

"What?" Gao Shun reprimanded, "Didn't I send you out to find out information? Why didn't I find the enemy's traces in advance, and the enemy found them so close?"

"Because the road to the south leads to the Yangtze River, we didn't pay attention until we found them just now." The soldier also didn't expect the enemy to come by boat.

Gao Shun froze for a moment when he heard the words, thinking about it, let alone the soldiers who inquired about intelligence, even he would never have thought that the enemy came by water.

"General Gao, what happened?" Zang Hong ran over from the other side. He was learning skills from Zhao Yun's side, but Zhao Yun felt that he had taught him enough, so he asked him to go back to Li Tong. Come down to help Gao Shun guard the camp.
