Although Lu Xun was still in the tent, he couldn't calm down.

Because the implementation of his entire strategic plan depends entirely on Han Dang and whether Zhou Tai can successfully rob Liu Bei of the food and grass this time.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai have been training cavalry for a long time and have long wanted to show their skills.

But the two knew that cavalry warfare was the weakness of the Jiangdong Army. Even if their training was better, it would be difficult to compete with the cavalry brought from Xiliang and Hanzhong in Liu Bei.

This time they led all the cavalry in Jiangdong to fight, but fortunately they did not attack Liu Bei's cavalry, but a surprise attack.

Therefore, they not only need to make contributions, but also need to bring the cavalry back intact, and the responsibility is quite large.

After receiving the order, the two took out the march plan given to them by Lu Xun, and carefully checked the topographic map. After confirming that they would not get lost, they quietly assembled cavalry and followed Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to the outside of the pass.

After Chunyu Dan, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng set out one after another, they did not follow up immediately. Instead, they led the horse and sneaked away after nightfall, avoiding the eyes and ears of Liu Bei's spies.

When Chunyu Dan attacked Fu Tong's camp, Han Dang and Zhou Tai quietly passed through the gap between the third and fourth villages and entered Liu Bei's occupied area.

After entering the area occupied by Liu Bei, the sky was already bright.

But Han Dang and Zhou Tai did not hide their movements, but instead marched swaggeringly, just put away their flags.

Instead of stopping to have breakfast, they walked dozens of miles in one breath and came to a small town more than ten miles away from the county town. Then they stopped to rest and have lunch here.

This itinerary was arranged in advance by Lu Xun. They deliberately ate here to attract the attention of several aristocratic families here and pull them into the water.

After Liu Bei recovered these areas, although there was no large number of troops stationed, it was common for him to dispatch troops and generals.

This time, Han Dang and Zhou Tai led the cavalry to march on the country road. They did not trample on the crops, and won the favor of the local people and families. They did not expect that the enemy was attacking.

Therefore, these aristocratic families did not arouse alarm, but instead rushed to send people to send wine and meat to work hard in order to win the favor of Liu Bei's army.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai came without hesitation, allowing Han Dang, who had worked hard all night, to have a full meal and quickly recovered his strength.

After the meal, the two immediately set off the army and set up an ambush at a valley entrance before Liu Bei's grain team arrived in the afternoon.

Liu Bei's grain team calculated the time and passed through this valley and had an existing camp to spend the night. They came over slowly.

Because Lu Xun has never been able to stand out, Liu Bei's rear is very safe.

Although the grain team also had thousands of troops and horses to protect them, they were just doing things, and even their weapons were placed on the grain trucks.

Liu Bei's more than 100,000 troops were stationed in more than 40 camps, and each camp needed a general who could stand on his own.

Therefore, generals with slightly stronger ability to command troops were sent out to lead the army.

The army protecting the grain team in the rear did not even send military generals to command the troops, but was led by civil servants in charge of logistics.

Such an army has very low combat effectiveness.

Under normal circumstances, it can also intimidate the bandits, not to mention that they are not ready for battle.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai were approaching, and two thousand cavalrymen launched together.

Those baggage soldiers without weapons saw the rushing cavalry, one by one, dropped their food trucks, left the road, and fled in scattered all over the place.

In order to seize the time, Han Dang and Zhou Tai did not start a massacre. After dispersing the soldiers of the grain protection team, they immediately piled up the grain trucks together, and then a fire ignited all the food hundreds of thousands of stones.

Seeing that the fire was fierce and the food was no longer rescued, Han Dang and Zhou Tai led the cavalry and retreated like a whirlwind.

Despite the retreat, Han Dangzhou Tai still followed Lu Xun's instructions and walked in sequence on the road, without trampling on the crops, nor causing harassment from the people along the way.

...

...

Fu Tong defeated Chunyu Dan, killed thousands of enemies, and captured nearly two thousand people. Before Liu Bei's cavalry was ready to attack, Sun Quan's army retreated in panic.

Although the results of this battle were not great, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng escaped unscathed, this was the only victory of Liu Bei's army in the past two months, and it was of great significance!

Liu Bei was very happy to receive the battle report from Fu Tong!

Because this is his first battle after setting up the camp formation, and he can be said to have a complete victory.

Liu Bei ordered the commendation of Fu Tong, Shamoke, Zhao Rong and other generals participating in the war.

This victory fully proves Liu Bei's cleverness in using troops.

The next night, Liu Bei could not suppress his excitement and gathered the civil and military officials around him to hold a small banquet to celebrate the victory.

Who knew that shortly after the banquet began, Liu Bei received a quick report from behind that the hundreds of thousands of stones of military rations transported from Yong'an were burned by Han Dang and Zhou Tai.

Liu Bei's face turned pale and the banquet ended unhappily.

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Bao and Guan Xing to lead 8,000 cavalrymen to set off quickly, preparing to intercept the Jiangdong cavalry entering the rear.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were eager to make contributions and led the cavalry to advance rapidly along the way.

Because the speed is too fast, the crops that are about to mature are trampled into a mess, and a lot of food that is about to be harvested has been ruined.

If the fertile land of those aristocratic families could still be afforded, the days of this year would be difficult to survive after those small families were seized.

Although Zhang Bao and Guan Xing blocked the retreat as quickly as possible, they were still one step too late and could only watch Han Dang and lead the cavalry back to Guancheng.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were full of hatred and invited a battle under Guan City.

Seeing the overwhelming cavalry, Han Dang and Zhou Tai were also terrified, and were glad that he had taken the lead and returned to Guancheng. Once they were intercepted, they would definitely be wiped out!

Lu Xun led the generals to watch on the city tower, with a serious expression. He was very afraid of Liu Bei's cavalry.

If you want to counterattack, you must make a plan to destroy Liu Bei's cavalry. Otherwise, his cavalry can support various camps at any time. Even if you concentrate your troops to attack one camp, you will have no chance of winning.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng also saw this key and said to Lu Xun:

"Liu Bei's cavalry is powerful and it is difficult to defeat it with infantry. Once a war begins, he will lose his troops and lose his generals."

Lu Xun didn't want to lose his aura and said with a forced smile:

"First see if I break Liu Bei's cavalry, and then attack other camps!"

Lu Xun said this, but he was not talking nonsense.

He already had a way to crack the cavalry, which was to destroy Liu Bei's horses. The cavalry without horses was not as good as the elite infantry army.

Lu Xun sent a large number of spies to investigate the free place of Liu Bei's horses, and did not hesitate to use the snoops he left when he was guarding Yidu.

As long as he could find Liu Bei's horse-raising place, Lu Xun was ready to use any means, whether it was fire, flooding, poisoning, etc., he was ready to put down Liu Bei's horses!
