It’s true that Guo Jia is an alcoholic, but this wine is the elixir that refreshes his mind and makes him come up with all sorts of clever tricks.

"Fengxiao, don't show off. If you have any strategies, tell me quickly." Yuan Fang urged.

"Yes, hurry up and say it." Zhuge Liang shook Guo Jia's arm and urged him eagerly.

Guo Jia then stood up, wiped off the wine from his body, moved to the front of the map, pointed at the map and made some drawings, while explaining his plan in a condescending manner.

The generals became more and more happy as they listened, and their dormant fighting spirit began to burn up.

Joy also appeared in Yuan Fang's eyes. After hearing his plan, he slapped the table and said: "Very good, let's do it like this!"

On the same day, Yuan Fang adopted Guo Jia's strategy and ordered the generals to take action secretly.

The enemy's and ours' camps were no more than five miles apart. The Huainan Army's scouts and agents were always monitoring the movements of the Qingzhou Army, and soon reported any anomalies to the camp.

Two days later, the Huainan Army camped.

In the Chinese army's tent, Sun Ce had to meet with Yang Hong again after the unpleasantness the day before yesterday.

"It's rare that Bo Fu would invite us to discuss matters." Yang Hong, who was "invited", spoke in a sinister tone with hidden sarcasm.

"Yes, I find it strange too." Ji Ling also had a hint of thorn in his words.

Sun Ce was vaguely angry, and had the urge to kill them both on the spot, but he had to suppress it.

Looking at the two of them coldly, Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "My lord has ordered the three of me to lead the army together. There is an important military situation and it is urgent. Of course I have to discuss it with you. If you are not interested, you can leave."

That is, as for what happens, the responsibility lies with you two."

When Yang Hong and Yang Hong saw that Sun Ce's words were serious and related to the issue of responsibility, they had no choice but to put down their strange moods and reluctantly asked Sun Ce what the urgent military situation was.

Sun Ce then said: "Recently, my scouts deployed on the north bank have reported that the enemy troops frequently cross the two banks with boats and rafts every night. So I suspect that Yuan Fang must be plotting something."

"What's so strange about the traffic of boats and rafts? Maybe they are transporting grain and grass. Yuan Fang's little thief has an army of tens of thousands. It's impossible for him to not eat or drink, Bo Fu. I think you are suspicious." Ji Ling said disapprovingly.

"Am I paranoid?"

Sun Ce snorted coldly and asked: "If Yuan Fangyuan was just transporting grain and grass, why didn't he choose to do it during the day instead of sneaking around at night? General Ji, do you really not feel suspicious at all?"

Ji Ling was not an ordinary person either. After asking Sun Ce such a rhetorical question, and thinking about it carefully, he immediately became alert.

"Bo Fu, what do you think the little thief Yuan Fang has up to?" Ji Ling said.

"It's very simple. I think he is secretly transporting troops to the north bank." Sun Ce said with certainty.

Transporting troops to the north coast?

The two men looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Yang Hong wondered: "Why did Yuan Fang want to transport troops to the north bank? Doesn't he want to withdraw his troops?"

"He's not trying to withdraw his troops."

Sun Ce smashed his fist at the location of Xutai on the map and said in a deep voice: "He wants to bypass our camp from the north bank and directly attack Xutai City!"

A sneak attack on Xutai?

Yang Hong and Ji Ling rushed to the map, scanning the map with surprised eyes. Their thoughts were whirling, and the more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. Suddenly they looked at each other and finally realized something.

However, in the blink of an eye, Yang Hong's surprised expression returned to calmness.

With a sneer, Yang Hong said slowly: "In fact, I have already anticipated the little thief's trick, Sun Bofu. Please speed up five thousand troops and horses to go back to Xutai City to aid."

Ji Ling became anxious on the spot, thinking about returning to Xutai's aid. This was a great achievement. How could Yang Hong easily let Sun Ce go and stand up, but ignore him?

Seeing that Sun Ce had convinced the two of them, he was relieved. He himself also wanted to rescue Xutai City. Since Yang Hong invited him, he did not refuse and led an army of five thousand to leave the camp that day to rescue Xutai City.

As soon as Sun Ce left, Ji Ling said anxiously: "Yang Changshi, why did you let that boy Sun Ce take away the credit you got?"

"Rescuing Xutai is not a great achievement. Defeating Yuan Fang's main force is the real great achievement. General Ji, do you want a small merit rather than a big one?" Yang Hong asked with a smile.

"Great merit? Small merit? Yang Changshi, what do you mean?" Ji Ling became increasingly confused.

Yang Hong then lowered his voice, mysteriously and proudly speaking out his strategy and eloquent instructions.

Ji Ling realized this and couldn't help but look happy and burst out laughing: "So that's it, Yang Changshi is really good at predicting things. Okay, let that boy Sun Ce do some small meritorious deeds, and I, Ji Ling, will take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Yuan."

The main force of the party has done a great service for the Lord, haha~~"

…

Qingzhou Army Camp.

Thousands of Huainan troops lined up outside the camp, yelling at the top of their lungs and shouting wildly to keep fighting.

The extremely insulting curses spread throughout the camp, causing the entire battalion of soldiers to gnash their teeth and wish they could rush out of the camp and tear the thousands of hateful enemies into pieces.

In the Chinese army's tent, Yuan Fang and Guo Jia were eating side dishes and drinking wine, mistaking the yelling and cursing outside as the barking of dogs.

"Lord, the enemies outside have been yelling and cursing for a whole half day. They are really abominable. General, please lead your troops out of the camp and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind." Ju entered the tent and asked for battle with a sense of loyalty.

Yuan Fang did not take it seriously and simply asked: "Zixin, let me ask you, who is stronger or weaker between us and the enemy in front of us?"

Ju Yi was startled, but he didn't expect Yuan Fang to suddenly ask about this irrelevant matter.

After thinking about it, Ju Yidao said: "The enemy army in front of us is less than 20,000, and our army is 25,000. Moreover, we were victorious in the previous battle. Of course, our army is stronger."

"Since our army is strong, why is it that the weak enemy army rushes to challenge Yuan Shu's army without waiting for it to arrive? Zi Xin, don't you think it's strange?" Yuan Fang asked meaningfully again.

Ju Yi's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He carefully considered Yuan Fang's reminder, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"My lord, could it be that Ji Ling and the others have fallen into our army's scheme and thought that we were secretly transporting troops to the north bank in order to steal Xutai, so they deliberately sent troops to challenge me and wanted to test the strength of my camp?" Ju Yi

said excitedly.

Yuan Fang smiled and said nothing.

Guo Jia smiled again and said: "That's what my lord meant. Now that it's getting late, I guess the enemies outside the camp who are calling for war have already figured out what they want and should be about to withdraw."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, the scouts outside the tent rushed to report that thousands of Huainan troops who were shouting for battle outside had evacuated in a hurry.

Ju Yi's expression changed. He was surprised by Guo Jia's calculations and even more surprised by Yuan Fang's insight.

Guo Jia looked at Yuan Fang and said with a smile: "I was originally worried that Ji Ling and the others would not be fooled. Now that they have come to challenge us, they have taken the initiative to tell us that we have been fooled. Tonight, it is time to use troops."

Drink it all in one drink.

clang!

Yuan Fang slammed the wine bottle on the table, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said sternly: "Send the order, the whole army is assembled, tonight I will defeat the enemy camp in one fell swoop!"

"No!" Ju Yi responded enthusiastically, his blood boiling.

When the order was passed, the pent-up fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the three armies was immediately awakened, and their high-spirited fighting spirit quickly spread throughout the camp like a raging fire.

At night, more than 20,000 soldiers were well fed, fully armed, with weapons in hand, ready to be dispatched at any time.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Yuan Fang, wearing silver armor and carrying a skull-crushing stick, appeared at the camp gate with a majestic appearance as a young man.

Generals Ju Yi, Tai Shici, and Gao Shun all led their troops and gathered at the camp gate one after another. They only waited for Yuan Fang's order before they killed the generals and went straight to the Huainan camp five miles away.

Guo Jia's plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain had already divided the enemy's troops to rescue Xutai. There were only more than 10,000 troops left in the enemy camp in front of him.

Tonight, Yuan Fang will take advantage of the enemy's division of troops, mobilize 25,000 men, use a night attack to crush Yuan Shu's vanguard army, and then take advantage of the opportunity to seize the important town of Xutai.

Seeing that all the soldiers had gathered, Yuan Fang planned to say a few encouraging words to boost morale, and then lead his troops out.

Just a second before Yuan Fang was about to open his mouth, there was a sudden movement outside the camp.

In the dark night, there was a sudden loud shout of killing, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, suddenly rushing to kill.

The entire battalion was shocked.

Yuan Fang was also quite surprised. He quickly opened his telescope and went to explore outside the camp.

Although the telescope did not have night vision capabilities, relying on its ability to magnify targets, Yuan Fang could still barely see clearly the situation within twenty or thirty steps outside the camp gate under the weak firelight of the camp.

In the field of vision, hundreds of Huainan troops were seen rushing towards the camp in excitement. The general's flag was clearly holding the word "Ji".

It's Ji Ling, coming to attack the camp!

"This is such an unexpected surprise..." Yuan Fang smiled.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the empty enemy camp to lead his troops to attack the Huainan Army camp, but he did not expect that Ji Ling actually wanted to take advantage of the "empty" moment of his camp to also attack the camp.

"Master, the enemy has come to our door, what should we do?" Zhuge Liang also reacted and shouted in surprise.

"You said it was delivered to your door, so why should I say it?"

Yuan Fang sneered, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, pointed his skull-crushing stick, and shouted: "Open the camp gate, bring out all the troops, kill all the invading enemies for me -"

The order was passed, and the blood of the officers and soldiers of the three armies was boiling.

In the blink of an eye, the gates of all the camps opened wide. Taishi Ci, Gao Shun and other generals commanded their troops and horses, and poured out of the camp like a tide, rushing towards the oncoming enemy troops.

Yuan Fang rode out on horseback, carrying a skull-crushing stick, and like a bolt of white lightning, he rushed out of the central gate first.

What they collided with were two stunned enemy soldiers. Before they had time to react, Yuan Fang was like an electric shock. He swiped the skull-crushing stick in his hand from left to right, and his two heads were smashed.

The army behind them, like tigers and wolves coming out of their cages, pounced on the lamb that had fallen into a trap.

In the darkness of the night, Ji Ling was still full of murderous intent and with the intention of meritorious service, he scolded his soldiers and charged towards the "empty" Qingzhou military camp.

When he was only ten steps away from the camp gate, he was surprised to see the enemy camp open wide, and countless Qingzhou soldiers poured out like a tide to kill the soldiers and horses attacking his camp.

"What's going on? Didn't Yang Hong say that the enemy camp was empty? How could so many soldiers and horses suddenly appear?"
