On the third day of October, warm water flowed into the last barrier of Kunming Basin, Kunze County.

Zhang Fei, who pacified the six counties around Dianchi Lake, finally left only hundreds of people to guard Anmin in each county, and the rest gathered at the front of the Kunze battlefield to block the river valley with Li Su and Wang Ping. Zhou Tai was transferred by Zhang Fei to guard Dianchi Lake, taking into account the deterrence of the newly affiliated people and the tribal chiefs.

With Zhang Fei's arrival, the Han army's troops on the front battlefield reached 4,000. But just because Zhang Fei had to wait for Zhang Fei to arrive, Jing Yi's main soldiers from Jianning County arrived one after another, so Zhang Fei's 4,000 people had to face 20,000 people. Although these 20,000 people were blocked in the valley by closing the door and beating the dog.

If you take out a map of Jianning County and look down, you can find that Guan Yu blocked the north entrance of the Wenshui River Valley in the valley between Cunju County and Wei County, and Zhang Fei blocked the south entrance of Kunze.

Jingyi's coalition forces were 40,000, and 20,000 passenger troops remained in Wei County (Qujing) on ​​the north side of this section of the valley. Jingyi's own 20,000 people remained in Tonglao County (Luliang) between Kunze and Wei County. These two counties are two relatively open small basins in the valley, and there are also some barren fields. The autumn harvest has only been more than a month and there is a lot of food.

But because Yunnan in this era did not have terraced fields, the grain output of Wei County and Tonglao is definitely far from being compared with Qujing and Lu Liang in later generations. In later generations, Qujing, a prefecture-level city, has terraced fields, but now it is completely deserted mountains and forests.

When the war reached this point, the situation was already very good for the Han army. Although each route had to deal with five times the enemy, as long as they blocked them and defended and avoided the war, they could drag the enemy to death sooner or later.

As long as the Han army controlled the grain reserves in the Kunming Basin, it would be possible to send many reinforcements from the water to reinforce them in the future. There is no need to worry about not having enough food.

However, Zhang Fei, who had always liked to fight quickly, couldn't help but go to the city to check the enemy camps and discuss it carefully when he arrived in Kunze on the first day:

"What a great opportunity! When Jing Yi's pioneer, the three or four thousand people just arrived two days ago, they came down nearly two hundred miles a day and night, and all the soldiers were exhausted.

If Youping and Zijun were allowed to take the initiative at that time, or set up an ambush on the mountain roads on both sides in advance, and while the enemy had just arrived and had not yet stood firm, he could beat him up with his head and pinch his tail in the waist, he could at least kill two thousand enemies!

What a pity, I missed it in vain. Although we rushed back, Jing Yi's rear army also came one after another. Boya, my brother kept saying that you had no choice but to be cautious and missed the fighter plane!”

Zhang Fei's words were indeed correct in terms of the result.

The military strategy says: Those who seek profit for a hundred miles can get on the general. Jing Yi hurriedly returned to the rescue, and the troops were pulled into a long snake formation and could not take care of each other. King Ping of Zhou Tai was a bit radical and put on an ambush. It is entirely possible that one of the enemy vanguards would be wiped out at an extremely low cost.

It's all because Li Su was too sturdy and missed the fighter plane in vain and could only wait for the enemy to attack the city and the King of Zhou Tai was solemn that the killing and damage ratio was not as good as the first one to take advantage of the enemy's foothold but not stable to counterattack and attack.

Li Su was also full of tragedy: Is it wrong for me to seek stability? You are completely hindsight! How did I know that Jing Yi would have so many wives than Zhang He? Is it wrong to leave the enemy with more margin?

Li Su was angry and did not be polite to Zhang Fei. He directly refuted: "Missing the fighter's opportunity and failed to annihilate the two thousand enemy vanguards first. It is a matter of sluggishness. The key is to demand stability!

If there was a mistake in setting up an ambush, causing the enemy to take advantage of the situation and sneak across the dangerous mountain from the east bank of the warm water in the east of the city to enter the Dianchi Basin, that would be a disaster! Well, then, these thousands of us would have to fight against 20,000 rebels in the open area on the bank of the Dianchi Lake!"

Li Su was whispering, thinking to himself: Zhang Fei is very keen in tactical skills, but he is still greedy for merit and is reluctant to miss it when he sees the fighter. Especially in the past two years, Liu Bei's camp has been too smooth. His two injuries and dangers were healed, and his scars were forgotten and he forgot to hurt.

Does Zhang Fei have to be seriously injured every three years to have a memory? The cautionary shelf life of serious injuries is only three years?

Of course, Li Su also admitted in his heart that the reason why he was so steady this time was because he was scared by the lessons of Zhuge Liang and Ma Su, and he became more and more arduous under the psychological shadow.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei still remembered Liu Bei's explanation, and was in a good mood, so he quickly obeyed: "Okay, my brother said you are the military advisor and the governor, and you all listened to you! Then you just say that now you have lost the opportunity to gain a foothold, how can you fight the battle in the future? Let's just hold on here?"

Li Su soon had a countermeasure: "First defend for ten or eight days, so that the enemy can get tired and weakened its spirit. We will clamor from the city every night, but we will not send troops to harass us. The nine false cases will contain one real one, and the robbery camp can kill as much as possible. The enemy will immediately withdraw when it organizes resistance.

When the enemy can't stand it, either take the initiative to attack the city and we will kill them hard in the defending city. Or they will retreat and set up a camp and set up a little further away from us. When they retreat and set up a camp, Yide, you will rush up with the cavalry, kill some lonely enemy soldiers behind the palace, capture some prisoners, and confirm the enemy's composition.

I need to know whether Jing Yi's main force is on our side or Yun Chang's side. At that time, facing the side of Jing Yi's direct troops, the main one is to defend. Facing the side of the Yueli Man Qin Zangman who came from afar, the main one is to attack, and we must attack while attacking the heart, spreading our army's divine weapons from the sky, and there will be divine helps to ward off the poison.

The barbarians are more superstitious than the Han soldiers. As long as they add fuel to the fire and see our feats, they will definitely be shaken and regretful to help Jing Yi. We don’t divide and surrender more, so we will give the first surrender benefit, and then immediately break up the side, and it will be easy to talk about the follow-up.

Jing Yi can still hold on to it now because the two counties in the valley are still in the Wei County, and we still have some food reserves. If we take the grain reserves from one county at will, their 40,000 troops will starve to death if they don’t eat the famine next spring.”

"Using the rumors of helping gods and ghosts scare the barbarians to surrender? So let's make arrangements now." Zhang Fei's mind couldn't turn around for a moment, but after thinking about it, he had to admit that Li Su was too vicious and even used the ghosts and gods to attack the hearts.

...

In the following days, everything was going on according to Li Su's plan. Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to clamor at the top of Kunze City for three consecutive nights to harass the enemy's sleep, which was similar to what Zhuge Liang did when he suspected that his troops were tired of the enemy and forced Cao Cao to retreat in the battle of Han River in history.

But who knew that the enemy was tired just two days ago and the effect was better. Every time there was a clamor, Jing Yijun would get up in a hurry to form the array and find that no one went back to sleep, which was very troubled.

But he didn't really encounter the Han army's camp robbery for two consecutive nights. On the third night, Jing Yi actually let the soldiers go to bed and didn't get up after hearing the drums. Zhang Feibai beat him all night.

So on the fourth day, Li Su judged that Jing Yi was used to bluffing, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "I really look up to you. Treat you as cautious as Cao Cao. Cao Cao also knew to be careful of the nine false ones. The real one should not be neglected. You actually slept directly, okay, to help you."

Once, Li Su, who was in vain because of his own stability, was of course a little angry, and the consequences were very serious.

If you don't let you get some blood, every time Yide sees us cautious, he will laugh at us for fighting wits and courage with the air. How can we keep the situation under control?

Jing Yi must be asked to pay tribute to Li Su's caution! Only then can the Han generals realize that Li Su's caution is necessary!

That night, when Jing Yi was still sleeping for the second time, Zhang Fei rushed out with Li Su's more than a thousand guards and cavalrymen. As mentioned earlier, the Han army's seven thousand back troops, five thousand barbarian mountain infantry, and two thousand cavalrymen. So to this day, more than a thousand cavalry can still be gathered to rob the camp and attack the night.

Jing Yi, who had been paralyzed for three hours, was directly stormed by Zhang Fei to bomb the camp. Some soldiers, even when they were slashed and slaughtered by comrades, did not realize that it was Zhang Fei's real cavalry in the camp. They thought it was just a shout, and many screams were covered by the shouts.

Well, there is no need to wait for Jing Yi to move to the camp at this moment. Overnight, those who were trampled and killed by cavalry, and those who were trampled and killed by themselves in the chaos, the total losses exceeded 5,000 people! One or two thousand of them were captured.

Jing Yi was robbed by a thousand-man robbery, and 30% of his troops were destroyed. He fled back to Tonglao County with more than 10,000 remaining people, and stationed at the city gate. Only then did he remain stable.

After retreating forty miles, they directly retreated back to the city, which saved the trouble of camping. The tents in the camp were finally transported to the front line and all the food they had been seized by Zhang Fei.

As for the captured prisoners, it would be easier to pry out military information from them. After a little quarantine and review, I immediately asked:

All the troops here are Jing Yi's Jianning County soldiers, and Jing Yi transferred almost all the Jianning County soldiers. Less than one or two thousand people stayed in Wei County, and more than 80% of Wei County's defense is relied on reinforcements and barbarians.

It has to be said that it is quite a coincidence that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei originally planned to snatch the military information, but every time they originally planned to inquire about military information, they were harassed attacks because of the enemy's carelessness and did not know the soldiers. As a result, they became fake and became a battle of conquering and defeating the battle.

I inquired about military information and found out that I directly kicked the enemy's level. There was no one else in the camp.

"Okay, it seems that everything is indeed as we expected. I'll find a way to send orders to Chang Yun, let him serve as the main attacker and divide and disintegrate the barbarians." After Li Su Tongpan learned about it, he immediately made such a decision.

In fact, he estimated that Guan Yu himself could figure out that "the Northern Line will serve as the main attack in the final stage" - although Li Su has been isolated from the news from Guan Yu's army on the Northern Line since entering the Kunming Basin, Guan Yu has never directly obtained the news that "Li Su has succeeded". But I believe that with Guan Yu's knowledge of the army and the observation of clues mobilizing the frontal enemy forces can definitely guess.

But Li Su still had to find a way to waste time and make an appointment with Guan Yu. After all, he needed to explain his courage and the details of how to break through the natural danger of water, and how to adapt to the situation and use ghosts and gods to scare the barbarians. These details of the words were explained clearly to Guan Yu.

On the day the messenger was delivered, Zhang Fei couldn't help complaining: "We can't just send messages to my second brother along the mountain road. The messenger has to go back first, so that he can abandon the boat and land on the shore halfway, and go around a big circle?

Even if you go downstream and go upstream, you won’t be able to receive our letter without more than ten days. It’s better to attack Tonglao County directly.”

Li Su was angry and funny: "You won a battle in the camp, right? You won the camp and then destroyed 30% of Jing Yi's troops. Who gave you the confidence to use 4,000 elite soldiers to attack the city with 15,000 miscellaneous soldiers to defend? Don't worry, we originally planned to regain Jianning County and win over Yongchang County throughout the winter. It's only early October, and there is still time."

Li Su and Zhang Fei continued to lead their troops to block the road. They squatted in Kunze County, and Jing Yi squatted in Tonglao County, forty miles apart from the river valley and mountain road. No one took the initiative to attack and stood stalemate.

But ten days later, Guan Yu finally got the latest military information from Li Su, vividly teaching him how to bluff and brag about the reinforcements of the barbarians in the letter.

Guan Yu looked carefully and finally knew what to do.
