Zhangjiabao is sixty or seventy miles away from Sanchuan Village, which is not far away. However, there are mountain paths along the way, winding and winding, and the army is extremely inconvenient to advance. In order to ensure smooth command, Ren Fu led 6,000 horses and stairs to advance first, and the rest of the army followed closely behind.

An emergency march one day and one night. At dawn on the second day, Ren Fu finally left the mountains and entered the wide Huluchuan Valley. Looking at the large area of ​​flat ground covered with weeds, it was quiet, Ren Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he had not missed anything.

At this moment, the explorer sent in front of him rushed towards him like a flying horse. He stopped suddenly when he came to Ren Fu. The spy turned over and dismounted, crossed his hands at Ren Fu: "Report that there are thieves coming from the north and want to surround Sanchuan Village!"

Ren Fu straightened his back and asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen how many thieves are about?"

"Reported to the commander, the thieves had about two or three thousand people, all of whom were cavalry and camels carrying food and grass. In their army, there were still many cattle and sheep, who thought they were robbed from nearby forts!"

Ren Fu waved his hand: "Explore again and find out if there are reinforcements behind the thieves! Every half hour, report the military information and shooting stars!"

The spy turned over and whipped the horse, and went north with a roll of dust, and disappeared into the sky in a short while.

Ren Fu said to the patrol inspector of the border, Xiang Jin: "This bandit must be the vanguard sent by the large bandit soldiers to Sanchuan Village to test our weaknesses and reality. Now the Longyou army is attacking Tiandu Mountain with the top of Mount Tai, and the outcome is decided. This battle is not fancy, and when a small bandit is encountered, it will be wiped out. When a big bandit attacks, it will retreat to the fortress, waiting for news from Longyou. Since there are only two or three thousand enemies in the enemy, we don't need to hesitate and order all the troops and horses to kill them! A small victory outside Sanchuan Village will be a small battle, and the might of killing the thieves will be boosted, and the morale of our dynasty will be prepared for the next fierce battle!"

Xiang Jin crossed his hands: "What the Grand Marshal said is that if I use the masses to attack the few, how can I allow the thieves to be rampant? It's just that Hao thieves are cunning and must guard against the thieves' temptation of soldiers. If you kill the thieves, you will enter Sanchuan Village, which is not easy to pursue them."

Ren Fu nodded: "I'll pay attention. Xu Dudu's strategy has been decided, so let's follow the plan!"

After saying that, he arranged to gather people and leave the valley entrance where he was out of the mountain to arrange a formation two or three miles away. It was less than ten miles away from Sanchuan Village. After the formation was completed, he walked slowly and happened to meet the foreign soldiers outside the village to fight.

Liu Jun, the custodian in Sanchuan Village, received news that Ren Fu brought his troops to him, and brought a few personal soldiers and came to see him quickly.

After the ceremony, Ren Fu said: "There are thousands of thieves who intend to invade your village, what exactly is it?"

Liu Jun crossed his hands and said, "When I go back to the Grand Marshal, there are indeed two or three thousand thieves coming from Liufan Fort. I think it's because it's already fallen there. The thieves who come are all cavalry, with many pack horses, camels, and drove a large number of cattle and sheep. I think they are plundering along the road. They come to attack the city with such a big thorn, but they don't know that the Grand Marshal is approaching, so they are so careless."

Xiang Jin hurriedly said, "When is it now? Longyou soldiers and horses are about to attack Tiandu Mountain. The thieves are as dangerous as they are covered. It is not reasonable to do so! This must be the thieves' plan to lure troops. Use this bait to lead our army to pursue them, and there will be ambushing the way ahead!"

Ren Fu nodded: "The inspector said this very reasonably. This is not the usual year. The thieves came to attack calmly, and plundered cattle and sheep along the way, so that the population could be brought back. At this time, what is the use of cattle and sheep for them? They also have to slow down the marching speed. This thief is so artificial that it is undoubtedly the bait for the thief to seduce me! However, the thief is not a greedy fish in the water. If he dares to come, he will eat the bait. If I don't chase him, the thief can still come to Sanchuan Village to bite the thief!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Get on the horse, arrange the formation with me, kill this thief in a piece of armor!"

Ren Fu came here to compete for military merits. How could the meat delivered to his mouth not be eaten into his stomach? Using small groups of troops and a large number of camels, cattle and sheep to lure them, setting up ambush behind them to surround the Song army with superior forces is a common strategy used by Yuan Hao. If Yuan Hao used this strategy in normal times, he would probably fool Ren Fu. He was a fierce general in the army, strong in nature, competitive and greedy for merit, and it would be difficult to resist this temptation. But it was different at this time. Seeing that the Longyou army was about to break through Tiandu Mountain, it was likely to block the Dangxiang army's way north. In addition, Xu Ping repeatedly emphasized that Ren Fu could not be impulsive.

How much success can the fugitive enemy who chased the collapsed enemy? How many people can be killed? As long as you guard Sanchuan Village, when the Longyou army heads south from Xiaoguan and attacks from both sides, the military merits they have achieved at that time are the greatest. Ren Fu's temperament is a little rough, but he is not stupid, and he can see this very clearly.

Xiang Jin ordered the troops and horses of his headquarters and was arranged in front of the formation together with Ren Fu's central army.

The sun slowly climbed into the sky. Without the obstruction of the mountains, the whole world seemed to be much more cheerful. Knowing that there were only two or three thousand Dangxiang troops ahead, the morale of the Song army was high.

Jingyuan Road is mostly stationed in the imperial guards, so it is naturally incomparable to the top four armies, the most elite army of the Three Ya Imperial Guards, but its combat power is no less than that of other elite soldiers of the Song army. When the number of people is comparable, there is no reason to be unable to defeat them. What's more, now we are fighting against one, and the fat meat delivered to our mouths is simply to make an appetizer first.

The sky was clear, without any clouds, and the sun was a little dazzling. The dark Song army formation slowly advanced in the wide Huluchuan Valley, with a sense of oppression. Even the birds and beasts were so scared that they were silent, and there was no sound in the world.

The Dangxiang army from Liufan Fort was extremely loose, driving cattle and sheep and camels slowly towards Sanchuan Village. Having already penetrated the Song Dynasty, they did not send horses to all directions, and did not realize that Ren Fu's army was pressing over.

Liu Jun licked his lips and whispered to Xiang Jin beside him: "These thieves are really trying to die. They are so leisurely as if they are grazing cattle and sheep in their territory! This is not a bored life! When our army goes up, it will be filled with powder!"

Xiang Jin sighed softly: "The prison guard is wrong. When the two armies are facing each other, who will make a joke with their lives? The thieves do this to lure our army to chase them and ambush them. This is a trick to lure troops!"

Liu Jun felt that Xiang Jin's statement was reasonable, but he still didn't believe it. Apart from suffering losses in Longyou, Dangxiang had not suffered a great defeat in other directions, and it was reasonable to be so arrogant. The more they were beaten by the Longyou army, the more they wanted to show off in front of the other armies, otherwise they would be unable to balance themselves. Maybe this was just the vanguard sent by Yuanhao to attack Sanchuan Village.

Xiang Jin said, "Watch the custodian, we will attack the enemy later. The thieves will inevitably flee with the horse quickly and leave the cattle, sheep and camels for us. If this is the case, it will be a foregone conclusion that it will undoubtedly be the enemy who seduces me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a horn sounded, and the cavalry in front had already rushed towards the foreign soldiers with the momentum of lightning and thunder.

The foreign soldiers who came to attack the city seemed to have discovered the Song army's brigade at this time. They panicked and fled in all directions like headless flies. Not only were the camels, cattle and sheep abandoned them, but even the flags, weapons and armor were discarded everywhere.

Xiang Jin shook his head and said to Liu Jun: "How? Have you ever seen such a useless thief? This is an elite soldier of the Dangxiang!"

After saying that, he raised the reins to Ren Fu and said with his hands: "Master, it seems like this. It can be concluded that this is the bait sent by the thieves to lure our army. There must be heavy troops in front of him! Xu Dumao's army order should not be violated. The commander of the general quickly enters Sanchuan Village!"

Ren Fowler held the horse's reins. In the bright sunshine, he looked at the defeated soldiers running wildly in front of him, and felt his blood surge. He felt that there was only one voice left in the world, allowing him to lead the army to kill all these useless foreign soldiers. He was the commander who rose from the bottom, and fighting in battle formations almost became an instinct, and he could hardly control himself when he saw the blood.

The wind blew along the valley, and the sun became extremely gentle, like a woman's hand gently stroking her face.
