This group of black shadows has a total of 100 people. They are the "Eagle Strikes" in the Jiangxia Army, which is the most elite special soldiers in the Jiangxia Army. The leader of this team is Liu Zheng, a military marquis who looks like a monkey.

This army has experienced many battles, each with excellent martial arts skills and rich experience. It is especially good at sneak attacks in cities. They have different ways of dealing with different cities.

About a dozen steps away from the moat, three soldiers pulled out the yellow-shouldered crossbow. This is the king of crossbows. The crossbow body is seven feet long and the bow arm is one meter long. It requires ten stones of force to pull it away, and the killing range can reach 600 steps.

On the crossbow was a large iron arrow that was one foot long. The three of them aimed at the city wall and pulled the crossbow knife. With a light sound, the iron arrow shot out like black lightning. The powerful force made it firmly nailed on the city wall.

The three soldiers did the same. Within a quarter of an hour, fifteen iron arrows were all nailed to the city wall. Although they were not neatly arranged, they were less than a few feet apart. From a distance, they looked like an irregular climbing bracket.

Liu Zheng carried a roll of rope on his back, took a deep breath, jumped gently, and grabbed an iron arrow. His body was as light and agile as a monkey. With the support of more than a dozen iron arrows on the outer wall, he quickly climbed to the top of the city.

This is the northeast corner and the place where the city is least defensive. It was late at night, and most of the soldiers were sleeping under the female wall. Although Zhao Yan was a cautious and conservative person and was very vigilant, it did not mean that everyone was like him.

At this time, Cao's soldiers had occupied Anlu County for more than a month, and the main battlefield was moved to Jiangling. Anlu County was no longer important. At first, Cao's army was quite alert, but more than a month later, the Jiangxia army had no intention of attacking Anlu County, and its vigilance faded a little bit, and finally became a little paralyzed.

Except for the formal patrol, Cao's army insisted on patroling, but there were not many soldiers in their hearts. Liu Zheng looked at both sides for a while, but there was no patrol soldier. He was secretly happy and put the rope around the wall and threw it down.

The soldiers under the city climbed up the city, bent over the city wall, jumped into the city, and soon disappeared into the darkness behind the houses. As more than a hundred eagle attackers disappeared into the city, Liu Zheng confirmed that they were not discovered, and the last one jumped into the city. They were not in a hurry to seize the city, but sneaked into the city and hid, waiting for the signal...

Half an hour passed, and the dazzling beacon fire finally ignited in Yunyang County. It was immediately discovered by the patrol soldiers in the camp. The Cao army's camp suddenly became nervous, "Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" The alarm bell rang, and a harsh sound spread throughout the camp.

The soldiers of Cao's soldiers woke up one after another and began to wear military armor in a hurry. The camp began to get noisy.

The main general Zhao Yan was awakened by the bell in his sleep. He put on his clothes, walked out of the tent quickly, and shouted loudly, "What happened?"

A patrol soldier rushed over and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to the chief general, three pillars of beacon fires were lit in front of him, which should be a warning to Yunyang County!"

Zhao Yan was shocked and quickly ran to the side of the camp wall, walked up to the wall, and looked south. He saw three pillars of fire lit up the beacon tower twenty miles away. This should be the alarm of Yunyang County fifty miles away, and the two beacon towers behind him followed.

Zhao Yan was very surprised. How could the Jiangxia army attack Anlu County at this time? At this time, Sima Yi also appeared on the wall. Although Zhang Liao was transferred back to Fancheng, Sima Yi was eventually stayed to assist Zhao Yan. This was also because Cao Cao took into account that Zhao Yan had more than enough defense but lacked offensive strategy, so he asked Sima Yi to supplement it.

Sima Yi stared at the south for a moment and said, "It is obvious that since the beacon is coming from Yunyang County, the Jiangxia army should have arrived by boat. Zhao Shuai, we cannot sit and wait for death, we must deal with it!"

"Sima Zhubo is a little too hasty!"

Zhao Yan was nearly forty years old. He and Xinpi of Yangdi, and made Chen Qun and Du Xi of Dingling, and were called the four famous scholars of Yingchuan. He also surrendered to Liu Biao, but soon abandoned Liu Biao and surrendered to Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an. He was highly valued by Cao Cao. He was the county magistrate and ruled the throne and served as the governor and guardian.

He showed extremely high training skills in the military farms and finally won Cao Cao's trust. Although he was a civil servant, he also asked him to lead his troops to the expedition.

Although Zhao Yan is talented, he is inferior to literati and doesn't care much about Sima Yi, who is ten years younger than him. The Prime Minister asked Sima Yi to assist him, but he felt that Sima Yi was just a scholar and it was okay to talk about war on paper. But when it came to actual combat, it might not work.

He specially cited the word "Zhu Bo" very seriously and reminded Sima Yi to pay attention to his identity. "Zhu Bo, now the enemy's intelligence is unknown, how can we send troops easily? Even if we take countermeasures, we must understand the situation of the enemy before talking about it!"

After saying that, he ignored Sima Yi and immediately ordered the deputy general behind Zang Badao: "Send a team of scouts to investigate the news, and report any situation at any time!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zang Ba immediately arranged a team of scouts to patrol the camp. Zhao Yan glanced at Sima Yi with a smile, and turned around and left.

Sima Yi's face was as gloomy as water, and Zhao Yan's arrogance also made him extremely disgusted. In contrast, Zhang Liao did not have the civil servant aura like Zhao Yan and treated others much more sincerely.

At this time, Yu Jin slowly walked to Sima Yi and whispered: "Actually, I also think I should send troops as soon as possible. I ambushed beside the Shu River. When the enemy ship approaches, I will immediately pour oil and burn the ship. This opportunity is fleeting, but unfortunately General Zhao is too conservative."

Sima Yi said coldly after a while: "Either do it early or don't do it, and you always want to be foolproof. How can such a good thing happen?"

He turned around and walked towards his tent. About half an hour later, a soldier came to salute and said, "Master Bo, Shuai Zhao is welcome!"

Sima Yi didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, he still stood up and walked towards the central army's tent. The tent was brightly lit. Zhao Yan was pondering in front of the map. Sima Yi stepped forward and bowed, "See the commander!"

"Sima Zhubo came just right!"

Zhao Yan collected the map and said with a smile: "I have received accurate information. The main force of the enemy army composed of hundreds of large ships is coming towards us, and it is about twenty miles away. Sima Zhubo thinks he should send troops?"

Sima Yi thought about it and found that Yunyang County was about fifty miles away. In just over half an hour, the enemy fleet had traveled thirty miles. This was very fast. They were about five miles away from the Shu River and had to transport irrigated oil. I'm afraid it would take too long to go.

Sima Yi shook his head, "I think it's too late!"

Zhao Yan's smile disappeared, and his face sank, "It was you who asked me to send troops, and it was you who opposed sending troops now. What do you mean?"

Sima Yi sneered, "Can you ask for a sword by carving a boat?"

Zhao Yan was furious and turned around and left. He only heard him ordering outside the tent: "Tell me my order and order General Zang to lead 3,000 soldiers to carry tinder oil to burn the boat by the side of the river. No mistakes should be made!"

Sima Yi sighed secretly, and the Prime Minister was right. Zhao Yan had more than enough guarding the city, but his attack was insufficient. The turmeric oil was built by the Jiangxia army. How could they not beware of burning the ship? Well, let him learn a lesson.

Sima Yi stopped talking, just watched coldly, waiting for news from Zang Ba to come.

The Shu River narrowed slightly in the Anlu County area, only more than twenty feet wide, just enough for a large ship to turn around. On both sides of the strait, there is an endless dark wilderness.

In the dark night, a fleet of hundreds of large ships was moving rapidly along the Jianshui River to the north. The fleet stretched for dozens of miles and was spectacular. At this time, on the first large ship, Jia Xu was nervously staring at both sides of the Jianshui River.

"Did you notice it sir?" Liu Jing said with a faint smile.

Jia Xu shook his head, "I can't see anything, but Cao's army will definitely come to burn the ship, which is what I expect."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu glanced at Wen Pin again and said with a smile: "General Wen must find it strange. Why do I hope Cao's army will come to burn the ship?"

Wen Pin nodded, "I really don't understand. I think Mr. Jia may be ambushing on the shore and using the big ship as bait, but this seems a bit too simple."

Jia Xu laughed, "I do use the fleet as bait. I believe Cao's army will definitely come to burn the ship, but my intention is Zhao Yan. This person is too cautious in doing things, and sometimes he will act blindly. Once he encounters setbacks, he will immediately shrink and dare not take any risky moves. He has been like this for so many years, and I believe he will not change this time."

Wen Pin nodded silently, and then he understood Jia Xu's profound meaning. He was a little too shallow in his view of the problem. Only by knowing oneself and being an enemy can he win every battle. Jia Xu did this.

"What about Sima Yi?" Liu Jing asked with a smile beside him. He always cared about Sima Yi.

"The biggest problem with Sima Yi is that he lacks qualifications. He is a civil servant, and Zhao Yan is also a civil servant. Civil servants are inferior. General Wen thinks Zhao Yan will follow Sima Yi's plan?"

Wen Pin hesitated for a moment, "This... I don't know."

Jia Xu smiled faintly, "The famous scholars have a bad habit, that is, they value their reputation too seriously. In fact, the same is true for me. Once I do something wrong, it is difficult to admit that it is my responsibility and try to shirk it to others. Of course, Zhao Yan is the same. Once the army is defeated, he will definitely put the responsibility on Sima Yi. This is almost the iron law of the officialdom, and those with low positions will be responsible."
