Lu Xun was silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said: "General Ling, Liu Bei is a trick to trick us into going out of the city, and I don't want to be brave for a while." ”

"If they are allowed to be so humiliated, the officers and men of our army will be cowardly, and over time, their fighting spirit will be lost." Ling Tong was still angry, and argued with a red face.

"Well, tomorrow you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to attack Wu Ban and others, and if you encounter an ambush, you must not retreat to the city." Lu Xun said.

Hearing Lu Xun say this, Ling Tong's face became very ugly, and he couldn't go back, wouldn't he face the danger of annihilation of the entire army, what did Lu Xun mean by this? Pan Zhang fought a defeated battle before, and he has not been punished in any way, why did he target himself?

"If you don't go back, you won't go back! If the husband dies, he will die, so what is there to fear! Ling Tong also lost his temper, turned his head and walked out, it was a big deal to die, and he had to fight for the Jiangdong soldiers to come back.

"General Ling is worry-free, I have been prepared for this."

Lu Xun behind him laughed, and then stepped forward to stop Ling Tong, attached it to his ear, and said something like this, like this, Ling Tong was overjoyed in his heart, and exaggerated that the governor was a genius in the world, and then happily accepted the order.

The next morning, Wu Ban led the old and weak soldiers, concocted the same method, and still played in an orderly manner under the city. In order to prove to the soldiers that Liu Bei was a plan to lure the enemy, Lu Xun led a group of soldiers to the top of the city tower to watch, Lu Xun confidently believed that after this time, the soldiers would be convinced of him, and from then on unite as one, it was possible to repel Liu Bei's army.

The west gate of Nanjun suddenly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Ling Tong led five thousand elite armored cavalry to rush towards Wu Ban with a loud shout.

Wu Ban didn't expect Ling Tong to really dare to come out, and he was also bringing cavalry, so he didn't know what he meant, so he hurriedly picked up his sword and got on his horse and gathered everyone to fight.

Ling Tong didn't want to fight against Wu Ban alone at all, led the army, rushed directly into the formation, and killed anyone he saw. How could these old and weak soldiers resist these elite cavalry, they soon lost more than half of them and fled back in a hurry, and their escape speed was not fast enough, many people were shot in the back and died on the spot.

Wu Ban was so anxious that he rushed to Ling Tong several times, but Ling Tong ran away with a single shot, not fighting him at all, but as if the end was coming, he seized a qiē time to chase and kill those old and weak soldiers.

Seeing these soldiers fall one by one, Wu Ban was distressed, but his eyes were red in a hurry.

With the sound of drums, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing led 50,000 horses and suddenly rushed out from behind a mountain. Ling Tong knew that he had been deceived, and according to what he had discussed with Lu Xun before, he immediately gave an order, and the cavalry turned around and retreated.

How could Zhang Bao and Guan Xing let go of such a great opportunity, and pursued Ling Tong in the rear, and they were bound to capture Ling Tong alive.

However, at this moment, an unexpected situation arose, the gates of Namgun had been closed and the drawbridge had been pulled up. The cavalry led by Ling Tong was turned away.

There was an uproar above the city tower, and everyone hurriedly pleaded with Lu Xun, either to increase troops or open the city gate, and they couldn't abandon Ling Tong and the others. Lu Xun smiled slightly, and did not answer, but he looked confident, and everyone knew that it was a strategy, although they couldn't see through it, they also closed their mouths, nervously paying attention to what happened below.

At this time, if he wanted to take the opportunity to rush into the city gate, there was no chance at all, Zhang Bao shouted loudly: "Ling Tong, the city has abandoned you, why don't you descend early?" ”

"Haha, Zhang Bao, it's not too late for you to catch General Ben." Ling Tong laughed, led the cavalry, ran around the city, and went straight to the east side.

"Ling Tong is not afraid of danger, am he afraid that it will be deceitful?" Guan Xing couldn't help frowning.

"Haha, how can I wait for tens of thousands of troops to be afraid of him!" Zhang Bao was full of confidence, led the army, and chased with all his might.

Although there was a gap in strength, Ling Tong's cavalry speed was very amazing, and he quickly opened up the distance.

After chasing for two hours, from the west gate to the east gate, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others suddenly found that Ling Tong's cavalry had disappeared.

After careful investigation, they found several hidden tunnels, and Ling Tong and the others had already returned to the city from the tunnels. Zhang Bao and Guan Xing didn't dare to enter the tunnel, so they had to report the matter to Liu Bei.

These tunnels were dug by Zhou Yu when he attacked Nanjun. Of course, there are a few of them are Cao Ren's masterpieces, after Lu Xun entered Nanjun, he re-revised these tunnels, the purpose is very simple, in case there is a problem in Nanjun, there is a way out.

Liu Bei heard the report and also remembered this matter, if he wanted to enter the city through the guò tunnel, it was impossible at all, and the other party must have prepared from the other end. Liu Bei had no choice but to order Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others to block the exits of these tunnels first, I can't get in, and you don't want to escape from here.

The plan to lure the enemy out of the city has failed, and 5,000 soldiers and horses have been lost, and the soldiers have many complaints, to put it mildly, this is equivalent to taking the old and weak soldiers as bait, where is the original benevolence?

Liu Bei also regretted it, and at the same time began to be impressed by Lu Xun's leadership as a scholar.

Ling Tong returned to the city with his whole body, threw himself on the ground for the five bodies that Lu Xun admired, and praised the governor of the capital for taking care of things like a god. At the same time, the battle of Ling Tong out of the city also made all the soldiers in Jiangdong see Liu Bei's plan clearly on the city tower, and there was no idea of acting rashly after that, and they all listened to the command of the metropolitan governor.

The plan was seen through, of course it couldn't be used anymore, and Liu Bei didn't have a good way for a while, and the army showed a stalemate situation against Nanjun.

More than a month passed, entering the scorching summer, Liu Bei still didn't think of the siege plan, the army is always so consumed, it seems to be even more inappropriate, Liu Bei is anxious, recently got a chest pain, the military doctor prescribed some decoction, with little effect.

Every time there was a meeting, Liu Bei clutched his chest with a painful look on his face, and the civil and military officials were anxious about it. On this day, Chen Zhen couldn't help but say: "The holy dragon body is higher than one qiē, the minister heard that the divine doctor Hua Tuo is in Yiling City, and the king of Hanxing is a righteous brother of the saint, why not go to Yiling for treatment?" Eucharistic health is the blessing of the community and the blessing of the common people. ”

"No, then Wang Baoyu doesn't know what kind of mind he has." Strategist Cheng Ji said cautiously.

"Holy Lord, please go to Yiling for diagnosis and treatment, the fourth uncle is generous, and he will definitely not harbor different intentions." Guan Xingdao.

Zhang Bao also agreed, and the rest of the people had different opinions, and the majority of those who supported it were not that these people were relieved of Wang Baoyu, but Liu Bei's situation, if there was a mistake, this battle would have been lost.

Liu Bei's heart ached unbearably, hesitated again and again, and finally nodded: "In this case, don't slack off if you stick to your position, I will go to Yiling, visit the fourth brother, and then let the divine doctor diagnose the disease." ”

Speaking from the heart, Liu Bei really misses Wang Baoyu, when Wang Baoyu was by his side, he was always able to turn danger into a disaster, and won many battles, he once firmly believed that this fourth brother was his lucky star.
