The army entered Dongyuan Town. Along the way, many scouts were sent out. A steady stream of news came back from the front. The army was not blocked and the road was smooth. "Report." The scouts quickly ran back, turned over and dismounted, and reported: " General, the road ahead is blocked." Wang Lei asked: "What's the situation?" The scout looked stern and said: "The road ahead is between two hillsides. A big rock blocked the road. For a short time. It is difficult to move forward." Wang Lei ordered: "Clear the road immediately. Don't delay the time of the journey." "No." The scout went to pass the order and asked the soldiers in the front to clear the blocked road. Guo Jia followed Wang Lei on horseback and frowned. : "Last night, Xu Rong sent troops to harass us. Today we are on our way and sent troops to drop boulders to block our road. I'm afraid there will be countless methods in the future. I think the other party intends to shake our morale. Xu Rong is very cunning. Wang Lei smiled slightly and said: "Feng Xiao's analysis makes sense. But no matter what Xu Rong has in mind, it cannot stop our progress. Once the army comes to the city, Xu Rong will undoubtedly be defeated." Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Wang Lei's analysis. Half an hour later, the road was cleared and the army continued to advance. However, less than an hour later, the scout ran back and reported: "General, the bridge leading to Lu County in front has been destroyed. We have to cross. River. Unless we are wading forward." "Oh. How is the condition of the river?" Wang Lei asked, but suddenly became wary. If Xu Rong's soldiers laid an ambush upstream, and the army was crossing the river, Xu Rong's army Break the embankment and release the water. The situation is not good. The scout thought for a while and replied: "Report to the general. The river is two feet wide. The flow is slow and the water is very shallow. You can even clearly see the bottom of the river. It depends on the situation. No. There seems to be an ambush." ??When Wang Lei heard this, he ordered: "Lead the way. I will go and take a look myself." When it comes to crossing the river, Wang Lei must be cautious. The soldiers led the way. Wang Lei led everyone on their way quickly. It will not be long before they arrive. Go to the river. Wang Lei stood by the river and looked carefully. This river is only two feet wide and the water is knee deep. It is a very small river. After pondering for a moment, Wang Lei said: "Fengxiao. What should you do." Guo Jia replied: "My lord, the river is only two feet wide. But the river washes down and the water depth rises. The distance of two feet is enough to divide our soldiers into two sections in a short time. By then, the army will be divided into two. The river The soldiers on the other side are likely to be attacked." Wang Lei thought about it carefully. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The truth is like this. Fengxiao has thought about it. If this is a plan set by the other party. I Instead, they thought this was an opportunity to draw out the opponent. Furthermore, the soldiers crossing the river immediately prepared to defend. As long as they defended properly, there would be no problem. In fact, this was an opportunity to annihilate the opponent." Xu You agreed: "My lord's analysis. I think it makes sense." Shenpei nodded, also with a look of approval. Jushou said: "My lord, I suggest sending scouts to search along the upper reaches of the river." Compared to Xu You and Shenpei, Jushou was more cautious. Wang Lei nodded. He looked at Lu Bu and ordered: "Brother, send fifty cavalry to search immediately." Lu Bu immediately gave the order and ordered the cavalry to go find out the news. A quarter of an hour later, the scout came back to report the news. There was nothing. Wang Lei no longer hesitated and ordered the soldiers to cross the river. The whole process was not affected. Most of the army passed, but there was still nothing. Wang Lei began to lead people to cross the river. Soon, Ju Sue, Shen Pei and others also crossed the river in sequence. Tens of thousands of troops. They all crossed the river without being ambushed. Wang Lei frowned slightly and thought to himself that he was a little frightened. He was actually frightened by a small river. The army advanced and encountered scattered troops on the way. Xu Rong sent soldiers to continuously attack The troubles greatly slowed down the speed of the Jizhou Army. It was in the evening that the army arrived at Dongyuan Town. It took only one day to cover one town. The speed was very slow. Dongyuan Town was captured. The army camped outside the town. After nightfall, the army was attacked again. In the middle of the night, Wang Lei lay on the bed. He really couldn't sleep. He put on his clothes. Wang Lei sat in the camp and ordered: "Send the order. Let Jushou, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu come to the camp." " "No." The soldiers went to deliver the order. It didn't take long. Jushou, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu arrived at the camp. Jushou and Lu Bu saluted and sat down. Zhao Yun looked calm and did not show any respect. Lu Bu asked: "The Lord called us overnight. Come. What's the matter?" Jushu speculated: "My lord, are you planning to fight back?" Wang Lei nodded and said, "We must start preparing for a counterattack. Xu Rong adopted a strategy of resisting step by step. He kept thinking??Deplete our morale. When our army arrives in Lu County, Xu Rong will definitely launch the fiercest attack. For this reason, we must take the initiative." Lu Bu asked: "The master's plan will be settled." Zhao Yun said lightly: "Wang Zhoumu has any plans. Just tell me." Jushou's eyes fell on Wang Lei, looking forward to it. Wang Lei said: "Now Xu Rong's eyes have fallen on our army. Every move we make attracts attention. Xu Rong's attention was attracted. I planned to adopt the strategy of secretly attacking Chen Cang. I still led the army to advance openly. Then, Zilong and Mr. Ju led the army to quietly leave the camp. After approaching, they raided the county seat of Lu County." Lu Bu didn't hear this. He asked: "Lord, where am I?" Wang Lei said: "Brother is famous all over the world. His goal is too obvious. If he is not by my side, it will easily arouse Xu Rong's suspicion. Therefore, brother must stay. The reason for letting him Brother is coming. It is necessary for me to dispatch the Eagle and Falcon Battalion to cover Zilong's attack." Lu Bu sighed. His eyes were full of reluctance. Wang Lei smiled and said, "Brother's Eagle and Falcon Battalion has strong combat effectiveness and is very noisy. If the Eagle and Falcon Battalion pursues them all night long, it will definitely attract people. Xu Rong's attention. When Zilong leaves with his army, it will be quiet." Lu Bu nodded and said, "I will obey the order." Wang Lei's eyes fell on Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong . But I am sure." Zhao Yun asked back: "Give me as many soldiers as you can." Wang Lei kicked the ball back and said, "I will give you as many soldiers as you need." Zhao Yun calculated carefully and said: " If there are too many troops, it will be easy to be discovered; if there are too few troops, it will be difficult to capture Lu County. Give me three thousand soldiers. Sufficient food and bows and arrows must be prepared." Jushou added: "We rush into the city in a surprise attack. Xu Rong may counterattack. Therefore. . Shield soldiers are needed. Among the three thousand soldiers, two thousand ordinary soldiers are the main ones. The remaining one thousand soldiers must be equipped with shields for defense." "Okay." Wang Lei nodded. He looked at Lu Bu and ordered: "Brother "Mobilize the cavalry of the Falcon Battalion and pursue them all night to attract Xu Rong's attention." "No." Lu Bu was ordered to go down and prepare immediately.
