Chapter 112 They Must Split Their Forces, Zhang Liao Spy

A few days later.

Chu Yang was standing on the Luoyang city tower, gazing into the distance.

"Your Highness, the three princes will each lead 30,000 troops to Luoyang City and arrive in three days."

A personal soldier came trotting over and knelt on one knee to report.

"Okay, let's get down."

Chu Yang waved his hand, his face expressionless.

After the personal guards retreated, Chu Yang turned around, walked down the tower, and returned to the mansion.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Wang Fugui and Chu Yun had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Chu Yang coming in, they quickly stood up and asked.

"Yes, Seventh Brother, that's an army of 90,000!"

Chu Yun also said with a worried look on his face, "I'm afraid that the number of people we have is not enough!"

"Why panic!"

Chu Yang glanced at him, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "Since I dare to stay, I must be prepared."

"Preparation? What preparation?"

Chu Yun and Wang Fugui asked in unison.

"It's too early to say that now. I already have a plan in mind."

Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.

As he spoke, he walked to the desk, picked up the brush, and started writing and drawing on the paper.

Seeing this, Chu Yun and Wang Fugui didn't dare to disturb him anymore and could only wait anxiously by the side.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

After a moment, Chu Yang put down his brush, handed the written letter to the soldier beside him, and ordered: "Immediately send this letter to Black Wind Ridge and give it to General Zhang Liao."

"Yes!" The soldier took the letter, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Your Highness, you are about to take the initiative!"

Seeing this, Wang Fugui had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

"Nothing. I plan to let Zhang Liao lead his troops to test their strength first."

Chu Yang said in a deep voice, "It would be best if we could resolve this matter without bloodshed."

"But, Your Highness, Sun Quan's army fell into the trap last time, and now they must have a plan." Wang Fugui was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I know what's going on."

Chu Yang patted his shoulder, his tone full of confidence, "Even if we really fight, we may not lose."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Seeing that he was so confident, Wang Fugui had nothing more to say and could only bow and accept the order.

Chu Yun on the side frowned and said nothing. He always knew that his seventh brother was invincible in fighting.

This time he wants to see how it’s fought!

Black Wind Ridge.

Located dozens of miles north of Luoyang City, it has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This place was originally inhabited by a group of bandits, but has now become an important stronghold of Chu Yang, guarded by Zhang Liao.

At this time, Zhang Liao was wearing armor and a sword on his waist, standing in front of the gate of the Black Wind Ridge, looking into the distance. Behind him was a sea of black-armored soldiers, each holding a sword and a spear, ready for battle.

"General, the spies report that the three armies of the three princes are less than fifty miles away from Black Wind Ridge! Their target is Luoyang City."

A scout came riding over, knelt on one knee and reported.

"Understood, let's go down."

Zhang Liao waved his hand, without any sign of panic on his face.

"Pass the order down, all troops on alert!"

"promise!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, the entire Black Wind Ridge immediately entered a level one combat readiness state.

"General, are we really going to go to war with the prince's army?"

At this time, a burly general walked up to Zhang Liao and asked in a low voice.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Liao did not answer directly, but asked back.

"I think we should first find out what His Highness means before making any plans."

"Your Highness?"

Zhang Liao nodded slightly when he heard this, "Let's go out and take a look. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

As he spoke, Zhang Liao led his troops to check the situation of the three armies.

"Report——"

Just then, another scout came riding over.

"General, a team is coming from the direction of Luoyang City, flying our flag!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you know who is leading the troops?"

"General, the man here claims to be the commander of your Highness' personal guards, and his name is Suo Si!"

"Suo Si?" Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment and said to Suo Si, "Come on, follow me to take a look!"

"promise!"

After a while.

When Zhang Liao arrived at the gate of the village, he saw a team of over a hundred people waiting there.

"I am Suo Si, the last General, and I am here to deliver a letter to the General on the orders of His Highness!"

As he spoke, Suo Si took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Liao with both hands.

Zhang Liao took the letter, opened it, and his face suddenly changed.

"General, what does His Highness say?"

Seeing this, Suo Si asked hurriedly.

Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but handed him the letter.

Suo Si took the letter, read it carefully, and his face became very ugly.

"Survey!"

"Yes."

Zhang Liao took a deep breath and gave an order in a deep voice, "Pass the order down, all troops stay where they are, no one is allowed to act rashly without my order!"

"promise!"

Several personal soldiers responded in unison, then turned around to convey the general's order.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao took Suo Si and dozens of his personal soldiers and rushed towards the location of the 90,000-strong army.

On the road.

Suo Si followed Zhang Liao closely, galloping along the way, but his heart was beating like a drum.

"General Zhang, do you think they will really separate?"

Suo Si couldn't hold back his doubts after all, and asked.

Zhang Liao pulled the reins, and the warhorse under him neighed and stopped.

"It depends on the situation. If they split their troops into three groups and go to Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, then our plan can be accomplished."

Suo Si felt relieved when he heard this, but then he became worried again: "But what if they don't go? It will be troublesome if their troops reach Luoyang City."

Zhang Liao sneered, "Humph, if they don't go, we'll chase them away!"

He dismounted and threw the reins to the soldiers behind him, "Let's go and check out the situation first."

Seeing this, Suo Si also dismounted hurriedly and followed.

The two men, accompanied by dozens of personal soldiers, marched along the rugged mountain road, heading towards the direction of the 90,000-strong army.

"General, the scouts ahead reported that they have found traces of the enemy!"

A scout came running and knelt on one knee to report.

Zhang Liao's eyes sparkled when he heard this, "Let's go and take a look!"

The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at a hillside.

Zhang Liao looked up and saw that in the open area not far ahead, there was a dark mass of troops.

"My goodness, there must be 70,000 or 80,000 troops here, right?"

Suo Si took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhang Liao did not say anything, but just stared at the army in the distance, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"General, what should we do now?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao remained silent, Suo Si could not help but ask.

"Wait!"

Zhang Liao uttered a word, his eyes still not leaving the army in the distance.

"wait?"

Suo Si asked in confusion, "Waiting for what?"

"Wait till they separate!"

Zhang Liao said calmly, "Your Highness said in the letter that these three armies are not united, and they each have their own calculations."

"If they divide their forces, we will retreat back to Black Wind Ridge and hold our ground."

"If they don't split up, we only need to provoke them a little and they will definitely go their separate ways."

Suo Si suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this, "General, you are wise!"
