Liu Ye was originally a relative of the Han family, and his family still had a small property, but he was not good at management and refused to bend to others, so a few years after his father's death, the family almost couldn't open the pot. Fortunately, he has a friend Lu Su Lu Zijing is very arrogant, and he can barely survive with relief, this time Zheng Bao invited him with a lot of money, and specifically explained that he just took a look and didn't force him to do something, so he was reluctant to come and see.

Lu Su's father died earlier, and the huge family business was all managed by him, and he was actually thriving day by day. He made many friends in the three mountains and five mountains because of his business, and he was kind and kind, and he was nicknamed Timely Rain. This time, he was a businessman who stopped by to visit Liu Ye, and after hearing about this, he forced him to follow, the purpose was to see with his own eyes whether the Hou of Hefei was the choice of Mingjun. Liu Ye didn't care about him, thinking that this time it was just to eat, drink, and have fun, so he took him to Yaling with Zheng Bao.

The three of them exchanged a few words, and Zheng Bao said to Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang has been here for two days, I don't know if you are satisfied with the environment here?" What could be further improved in the defensive arrangement? ”

Liu Ye smiled and didn't speak, as if he wanted to eat and drink to the end, Lu Su was young and vigorous after all, for fear of being looked down upon by Zheng Bao, so he preemptively said: "In a certain opinion, although Yaling is dangerous and strong, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not an ideal place to store grain." ”

"Oh?" Zheng Bao looked at Lu Su, he had always regarded this young man as Liu Ye's follower, but he suddenly made such an astonishing remark, which made him a little impressed, so he asked with a smile: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Lu Su saw Zheng Bao's humble and teachable look, and his spirit doubled and said: "The terrain is flat all around, but there is this soil slope in Yaling, if there is an enemy who comes to attack, he can take a condescending position, which can be described as a bamboo." However, there is no water source on the Raven Ridge, and we have to go to the well of the stream a few miles away on weekdays to draw water, and if the enemy besieges us on the ridge, the army will be in great confusion within a few days. ”

Zheng Bao said with a smile: "What Mr. Zijing said is very true, but the vicinity of Yaling is the sphere of influence of our army, and if there is a war, the army of the Hou Ye can rush to the aid in one day, how can it be besieged by the enemy for several days?" ”

Lu Su was a little speechless, but Liu Ye added with a smile: "What if the enemy set fire?" ”

Zheng Bao's face changed suddenly, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a small soldier ran up to the ridge and said: "The front horse exploration found a cavalry coming straight towards the Yaling Ridge, the armor and war horses are all the color of my military uniform, how to deal with it, please decide the general." ”

Zheng Bao asked, "Did you say who is in charge, and what is the matter here?" ”

"The leading young generals said that they were under the command of General Zhou, and they wanted to mobilize people to send grain to the front line."

Zhao Yun killed a thorough last night and only remembered Zhou Jing's name, so he reported to General Zhou, but Zheng Bao took it for granted that it was Zhou Zhi, the dead ghost who led the cavalry with Li Xu. He smiled and said: "It turned out to be Zhou Zhi's people, I don't know where they are going to mobilize people, I'll go down and take a look." ”

As soon as Zheng Bao left for the lower part of the ridge, Lu Su said: "These cavalry want to transport grain, and instead of mobilizing the people to levy vehicles, what are they doing in Yaling first?" There is clear deception. ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Of course there is fraud, Qiuming's guy is like a ghost, and Guo Jia is by his side, how could he not think of the idea of robbing grain?" ”

Lu Su was surprised and said: "I heard that Guo Jia is also your friend, and he once wrote a letter to invite you to vote for Qiuming, could it be that you ......."

Liu Ye shook his head like a rattle: "If you don't go, you can't go, in the past, Qiuming abandoned me, although he achieved his reputation for valuing love and righteousness, but I was made fun of for no reason, as if even a small county didn't look down on me." Since I bumped into him today, how can I not repay him? ”

But it was said that Zheng Bao came down to the ridge and saw the distant military flags fluttering and the war horses galloping, all of which looked like his own horses, so he stood on the side of the road and prepared to greet them. At this time, Liu Ye walked to his side lightly and said, "General Zheng, don't take it lightly, you can ambush the crossbowmen first, and if there is a change in the person who comes, you can shoot it immediately." ”

These elite cavalry are treasures that the Marquis of Hefei has raised for several years, and they have never been taken out to fight, how can someone pretend to be? Although Zheng Bao didn't believe it in his heart, Liu Ye had an idea, and he also had to put on an open mind to be taught, so he ordered his subordinates to ambush the bow and crossbow in the forest, and only look at his eyes.

Zhao Yun saw Zheng Bao waiting, and knew that he must be the general of Yaling, as long as he captured and killed this general, Yaling would be broken. However, Zhao Yun was originally a delicate person, and the closer he got to the past, the more cautious he became, and he didn't dare to show the slightest flaw on his face.

Zheng Bao got Liu Ye's suggestion, he was inevitably a little apprehensive, and saw that these cavalrymen were all fresh, and their demeanor was very different from what he had seen before, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and shouted loudly: "Stop, whose subordinates are you?" ”

Zhao Yun knew that the situation was a little bad, but he still stubbornly said: "We are General Zhou Jing's subordinates, and we are here to ......." ”

As soon as he heard the word Zhou Jing, Zheng Bao immediately pulled back and shouted, "Shoot, shoot them." Suddenly, the bows and crossbows in the forest were fired in unison, shooting at Zhao Yun and the cavalry behind him like a rain of flying locusts.

Zhao Yun hurriedly drew his gun and danced in a circle, blocking most of the feather arrows, but this sudden change was sudden, and almost all the other cavalry except him could not react, and dozens of people were shot down when they landed.

Zhao Yun was furious and took Zheng Bao with a gun, but Zheng Bao did not bring a weapon with him, so he did not dare to fight him, and hurriedly withdrew to retreat to the ridge. Where is Zhao Yun willing to give up, a gun stirred Zheng Bao like a dragon going to sea, forcing Zheng Bao to be unable to get out.

When he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a voice shouting, "Full Moon Scimitar," and then Zhao Yun saw a bright sword light hitting his face, as fast as a beacon fire and bright like the sun, almost dazzling his eyes.

Zhao Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly put away his gun on guard, and when he fixed his eyes, where was the sword light, it turned out to be Liu Ye who found the sunlight reflected in a bronze mirror. Seeing that he had frightened the other party, Liu Ye hurriedly beckoned Zheng Bao to retreat, and ordered the crossbowmen to hold the Lingkou trail, and Zhao Yun rushed left and right to rush in, so he could only retreat first to treat the wounded soldiers.

Zheng Bao retreated to the ridge and thanked Liu Ye for his kindness, but Liu Ye's face was indifferent: "Now that the enemy army has arrived at the bottom of the ridge, the general can send people out to ask for help." If you are trapped on this ridge, I am afraid that if you really respond to what Zi Jing said, it won't last long. ”

Zheng Baosu came from negative force, and he just suffered the loss of not having weapons, where would he swallow this breath? He took the knife and danced a few times in his hand: "Sir, don't worry, with this knife in the palm of a certain hand, you will definitely cut off the dog's head, so why rush to ask for help?" With that, he rode and danced his sword, and rushed down the ridge again.
