The road is very narrow and has steep rock walls on both sides. The woods, grass and trees on the mountain are also very lush.

Li Guo took some Yellow Turban soldiers from Orion, and under the leadership of the person who came to report the news, he bypassed the mountain and climbed onto the rock wall. Then he hid in the mountains and forests and carefully watched the situation of this army of officers and soldiers.

"Looking at its banner, there are about 2,000 people." Li Guo watched cautiously for a long time, and said silently in his heart.

"Hmph, just this officer and soldier dare to ambush my more than 20,000 Yellow Turban troops, I really don't know whether to live or die!"

After the reconnaissance was completed, Li Guo quietly led everyone down the mountain and went to the army to report.

After Chen Xu heard Li Guo's investigation report, he set his eyes on the hunter who came to report the news.

"If it weren't for the strong men who came to report the news this time, our Yellow Turban Army would have been ambushed by officers and soldiers. Such a great grace, Asahi is toothless and unforgettable. ”

Then he turned his head and said to one of the leaders behind him, "You bring some men and horses, and send ten stone of grain and ten thousand yuan to this strong man's house as a thank you gift." ”

Suddenly receiving such a heavy reward, the hunter hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The general is merciful, and distributes money and food to our poor families. A certain person came to report the news, also out of gratitude, how could he get such a rich reward? ”

Coming to Orion's side, Chen Xu took his arm and said softly: "Since I led the Yellow Turban Army, there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Since the strong man has made such a great achievement, if he does not reward him, won't it make the other soldiers feel cold? ”

"I'll ask the soldiers to help you deliver these money and food to your home, don't postpone the strong man."

When Orion heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

After the hunter left, Li Guo asked puzzledly: "Lord, there are only about 2,000 ambushes in the mountains, even if our army is ambushed, why are we afraid?" Why did the lord reward that hunter so much? ”

In this era of low productivity, ten stones of grain and 10,000 yuan are already a huge wealth for ordinary people.

Looking at Li Guo, Chen Xu replied: "Have you ever heard the story of 'a thousand dollars buying horse bones'?" ”

Although Li Guo has great ambitions, he has not read a book, and can only know a few big words, how did he hear the story of 'a thousand dollars buying horse bones'?

So, in the face of Chen Xu's inquiry, his face was flushed, and he was a little speechless.

Chen Xu felt that he was a little speechless at this time, and hurriedly said: "Most of the cottage brothers don't know how to read, and after returning to the village, I will definitely let the two military teachers teach everyone to learn Chinese characters." ”

"Today, this hunter has come to give me and other news, and he has been rewarded so richly. If it spreads out at this time, the people of the nearby counties will definitely become the eyes and ears of our Yellow Turban Army. ”

"Is it cost-effective to get a lot of free scouts for a small amount of money and food?"

Li Guo suddenly realized and secretly admired.

No matter how good a scout is, he can't know everything in the neighborhood better than the local people.

The Yellow Turban Army's distribution of money and food made the people return to their hearts. If it is tempted to take advantage of it again, in the future, in Yanmen County, every move of the officers and soldiers will be obtained by the Yellow Turban Army.

"Changqi, do you know where the ambush soldiers in the mountains are, and what kind of banner they fight?"

Li Guo thought for a moment and said: "Where the officers and soldiers don't know yet, and the banner of their commander has not been fought, I just vaguely see that there are 2,000 officers and soldiers. ”

Chen Xu turned his head to the side and looked at Cheng Yu with an inquiring look.

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and said: "The counties of Yanmen County are still not enough to protect themselves, how dare they send troops to ambush them?" ”

"Ding Yuan, although he is a martial artist, he is not stupid, how can he send troops to fight us? I don't know where this army came from. However, the ambush has been known to me, and there are only 2,000 men and horses, so there is nothing to fear. ”

After thinking about it, Chen Xu also nodded.

Even if these two thousand men and horses are the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army has nothing to fear when it has an absolute advantage in numbers.

Ambushing 20,000 men and horses with 2,000 men and horses, if you do not use the power of nature, attack with fire and flooding, it is very difficult to win.

Therefore, Chen Xu thought in his heart that the commander of the officers and soldiers was either not familiar with the art of war, or he was arrogant.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Xu's mouth hooked a graceful arc.

Lu Bu still led his officers and soldiers to ambush in the mountains and forests, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.

Although he was not outwitted, he knew that he was outnumbered. That's why he didn't blatantly confront the two armies of the Yellow Turban Army, but prepared to ambush here, and when the Yellow Turban Army came, he was caught off guard.

In Lu Bu's opinion, as long as he could quickly kill the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, the remaining rabble would no longer be able to pose a threat to him.

Several battles with foreign races and bandits have made Lu Bu understand that the wolves that have lost their head wolf, as long as you show enough ferocity, no matter how many wolves there are, they will scatter and flee.

If the Yellow Turban Army is a pack of wolves, then Chen Xu is the first wolf. And Lu Bu's goal is to kill the head wolf and disperse the wolf pack.

The two thousand officers and soldiers looked at the commander in front of them, and their hearts were excited and nervous.

As the men and horses of the capital of Bingzhou, they naturally followed Lu Bu to fight many times. In their hearts, Lu Bu's figure was like a demon god, invincible.

As long as he charges on a war horse, no one can stop his progress. Any powerful enemy will become the soul of his halberd and become his battle exploits.

The soldiers of Bingzhou all liked to fight with Lu Bu, they liked the indomitable way of fighting, and they preferred those low-hanging feats and trophies.

But this time, ambushing 20,000 people with 2,000 men was something that the Bingzhou army had never encountered.

As a result, everyone was a little excited, expectant, nervous and faintly afraid.

They only hope that their master will be able to wield the halberd in his hand and decapitate the enemy chieftain as usual.

"Stomp, stomp!"

More than 30,000 people were advancing on the road, and the noise they made was definitely not small.

Lu Bu held the halberd in his hand tightly and shouted in his heart: "It's closer, it's closer, it's closer!" ”

He couldn't wait to cut off the head of the leader of the thieves and let the halberd in his hand drink blood.

The Yellow Turbans slowly moved forward on the narrow road, but not far from the place where the officers and soldiers were ambushed suddenly stopped.

It was almost noon, the weather was extremely hot, and the soldiers were already hungry. Chen Xu asked people to set up camp in a shady place, and then buried the pot to cook.

"Damn, how did they think of setting up camp here?"

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was about to enter the ambush circle, but suddenly stopped to bury the pot and make rice, how could this not make Lu Bu angry in his heart?

An adjutant came to Lu Bu and said, "General, the thieves are so close to our ambush place, if they send scouts to reconnoiter everywhere, it is very easy for Xi to find this place." ”

"Besides, the weather is hot now, and there are many insects and ants in the mountains, and the soldiers are lying in ambush here, and they dare not move lightly. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be found by thieves. ”

"In this case, I might as well withdraw my troops first."

Lu Bu took a deep breath, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said, "If a thief buries a pot to cook, his vigilance will inevitably drop. If our army takes advantage of the situation and kills the enemy chieftain, it will definitely be able to win in one battle. ”

"How can you miss such a great opportunity? Pass on my military order, and the three armies are ready to charge! ”

Lu Bu watched the commander of the Yellow Turban Army wander around the camp with some personal soldiers, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement.

When the adjutant heard this, he was shocked. He wanted to speak out against it, but after seeing Lu Bu's eyes, he didn't dare to speak.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the officers and soldiers rushed to the humble camp of the Yellow Turban Army without fear of death.

"It's a pity that the mountain roads are rugged, and the horses are hidden in other places, so they can only be chased on foot." Lu Bu thought secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, he handed the halberd in his hand to the soldiers beside him, picked up the big bow behind his back, pulled the bowstring and shot at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was extremely surprised when he saw that the officers and soldiers dared to attack the Yellow Turban barracks.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army had already prepared, and when the officers and soldiers rushed down, everyone tore off the camouflage of burying the pot and cooking, and picked up the weapons beside them to face the battle.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the arrows sped in with the sound of breaking through the air.

Chen Xu was horrified when he saw three arrows shooting at him, and hurriedly danced his spear to shoot off the arrows.

"Protect the lord!"

Wu Di, who had always been bad at speaking, suddenly pounced in front of Chen Xu. Two arrows passed through his body and shot at Chen Xu unabated.

Chen Xu didn't have time to grieve, so he saw the right time to hit the arrow with a spear.

"That's a lot of strength!"

Chen Xu felt a little numb in the tiger's mouth, he didn't expect that the two arrows that passed through Wu Di's body could actually have such strong strength.

If Wu Di hadn't blocked it and consumed some of the strength on the arrows, it was unknown whether Chen Xu could catch these two arrows.

"Oh no, there's an arrow!"

Chen Xu had just flashed this thought in his heart, and saw a flash of silver light appear.

"Ding!"

Zhao Yun on the side had already reacted, brandished the silver spear in his hand, and shot the arrow to the ground.

The arrow stuck in the ground, halfway into the ground. The tail of the arrow, which was exposed, still swayed from side to side, making a buzzing sound.

"Protect the lord!"

After Chen Xu's personal soldiers saw the power of the enemy's three arrows, they were horrified. They quickly surrounded Chen Xu and protected him tightly behind them.

"Careless!"

Looking at Wu Di who was lying in a pool of blood, Chen Xu's face was a little distorted.

He came out to wander in order to lure the enemy, but he didn't expect the enemy's archery skills to be so superb that he almost killed him.

If it weren't for Wu Di helping him unload part of the strength of the two arrows, if it weren't for Zhao Yun knocking out the other arrow, I'm afraid Chen Xu would have capsized in the gutter today.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Chen Xu roared loudly: "Line up and meet the enemy!" ”

"Whoever kills my own soldiers will make you pay!"

Thinking of the young man who had always been silent, Chen Xu felt a trace of colic in his heart.
