Chapter 970: Liu Bei arrived
However, Zhao Feng also knew that Liu Bei's move was also a way out.
Yuling had 10,000 infantry from Xu Huang and 5,000 cavalry from Huaxiong.
There are fewer troops sent by Liu Bei, and they can't even come to Yu Ling, let alone expect to solve the crisis in Jinan County.
As long as he waits for half a month, when the grain is harvested in various places, Zhang Yan will not receive much tax.
Without taxes, you can't feed an army.
At that time, Zhang Yan had only one way to go.
Even if Lu Bu doesn't attack now, at that time, Zhang Yan will not be able to return to the sky.
After all, Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army has always been short of food, and there is no chance to reserve food.
Just like Gongsun Zhan, if it weren't for the millions of stone of grain he had stored, it would be impossible for him to survive in Yijing for a few years.
Those soldiers had already starved to death.
Zhao Feng rubbed his temples and began to think about how to deal with it.
There is no way, Liu Bei personally led an army of 20,000 to come, and Zhao Feng had a way to resist.
But if the army fights, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be a headache.
Even Xu Huang in the later stage is estimated to be unable to withstand the attack of the two.
What's more, Xu Huang has not even reached the second awakening now.
It is not the opponent of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at all.
Once they fight on the battlefield, Xu Huang has a great chance that he will be killed by Guan Yu or Zhang Fei.
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and looked at the sentry horseman: "Go back and tell Xu Huang not to go to fight with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu." ”
"In a few days, I will lead reinforcements over."
The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Wait for the sentry to ride away.
Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Send a herald to inform us of our current situation." ”
"Let the five thousand newly integrated soldiers of the Gao Tang Dynasty come to replace us and besiege Dongpingling."
"Then tell Hua Xiong, wait for the 5,000 newly integrated soldiers to come, let him personally lead the 5,000 cavalry and rush to Yuling to reinforce him."
"Pass the order, and the army will set off for Yuling!"
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Wait for the bear to leave.
Zhao Feng also took the Demon Slaying Sword and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
From Beihai County to Yuling in Jinan County, there is a small Qi County apart.
Xu Huang got the news over there, and it is estimated that Liu Bei's army is not far from Yu Ling.
So Zhao Feng couldn't delay time at all.
Fortunately, between Dongping Tomb and Yu Ling, there is also an earthen drum.
Therefore, Zhao Feng led his troops to hurry, and there was no need to carry a food team with him.
As long as you go to the part of Wenchou besieging the earthen drum, you can make up for a meal.
Naturally, it will be added back after that.
So that day, after a little overnight, Zhao Feng led the tiger camp and rushed to Yuling.
With Zhao Feng's 6,000 tiger battalion, the army guarding Yuling reached 21,000 people.
Among them were Xu Huang's 10,000 infantry, Zhao Feng's 6,000 infantry, and Hua Xiong's 5,000 cavalry.
Before dark tomorrow, Gao Tang's 5,000 newly integrated troops will be able to reach Dongping Tomb, so Huaxiong can also lead 5,000 cavalry to arrive at Yuling after a little night road.
In this way, the army stationed in Yuling reached 26,000 troops!
In addition, once the war is tight, Zhao Feng can also send his leopard battalion over for a little reinforcement.
At the same time, Hua Xiong's 5,000 cavalry left in Dongpingling could also be dispatched at an opportune time.
Because the distance was not too far, it didn't take much time for the cavalry to arrive.
Therefore, Zhao Feng is still confident that he can resist Liu Bei's army.
Early the next morning.
A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army, and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Lu Jun ordered his subordinates to send a plan overnight."
After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.
Xiong Da walked in front of the sentry rider, took the paperwork, turned around and handed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng's statement to the sentry rider was not unexpected.
If it was daytime, the sentry rode over from Gaotang, and at most it would take half a day.
However, if you are traveling at night, your speed will be limited.
In addition, because you have to carry a torch at night, if you go too fast, the torch will be blown out, so it will be much slower to travel overnight.
After Zhao Feng opened the paperwork, he carefully checked it.
After reading it, Zhao Feng groaned.
This ploy, to put it simply, is a bluff.
Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Bei had not yet led his troops to arrive, Lu Su asked Zhao Feng to let out a rumor to the outside world.
said that the county orders of Luoyin, Zhu'a, Zhuxian, and Licheng surrendered one after another.
These four county seats, the first to be besieged, have been besieged for more than half a month.
These county orders can't bear the pressure and choose to surrender, which is also a very normal behavior.
And after these four county orders surrendered, then the soldiers besieging the four county towns could rush to Yuling for reinforcements.
With the soldiers of these four counties, there are more than 10,000 troops.
To put it another way.
In other words, after analyzing all aspects, Liu Bei wanted to defeat Zhao Feng's army, before the more than 10,000 reinforcements arrived.
Otherwise, when the 10,000-strong army arrived, Liu Bei would have no hope at all.
And if you want to defeat Zhao Feng within two days, it is obviously impossible.
After all, Zhao Feng started at the end of the micro and fought for many years, and he has long been famous.
No one dared to say that with little difference in strength, he could defeat the army led by Zhao Feng in a short time.
In this way, Liu Bei had to consider whether to lead his troops to attack Zhao Feng in this form.
After all, once he officially fought with Zhao Feng, he would obviously offend Zhao Feng.
In the short term, Zhang Yan's crisis cannot be solved, and in the long term, it will bring Liu Bei an unknown amount of trouble.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Bei may choose to retreat or wait and see.
Anyway, as long as Liu Bei hesitated, he didn't choose to attack Zhao Feng.
Then wait for the 5,000 newly integrated troops to arrive at Dongping Tomb, Hua Xiong can lead 5,000 cavalry overnight and rush to Yuling for reinforcements.
And as soon as it dawns tomorrow, Liu Bei will find that Zhao Feng does have an extra 5,000 cavalry on his side.
Then there will be more than 5,000 infantry in the follow-up, and the possibility of coming over for reinforcements is very large.
What's more, even if there are no follow-up reinforcements, the army on Zhao Feng's side has more than 26,000 people, of which 10,000 are cavalry.
And after Hua Xiong arrived, at least on the battlefield, it could also play a big role.
Liu Bei didn't dare to act even more.
Zhao Feng was still hesitating.
Xu Huang quickly ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”
"The sentry cavalry came to report that Liu Bei's army had left Banyang and was on the way to Yuling."
Zhao Feng didn't think much about it, and directly said Lu Su's strategy: "Gongming, you send someone to let the news out." ”
"In addition, the army is lined up in formation in case Liu Bei leads his troops to raid!"
Xu Huang bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "The last general will take the order!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
