Liu Yi did not immediately move troops, so Meng Huo could afford it, he could afford it even more. Liu Yi remembered that in the story of capturing Meng Huo for seven times, there was poisonous gas on the surface of the Lushui area. Although the bloodless water was just a branch of the Lushui River, for the sake of caution, Liu Yi ordered people to invite local mountaineers to ask about the specific situation.

"Don't have blood flowing fast. Although there is poisonous gas, it is not fatal." The mountaineering man heard Liu Yi's inquiry and replied with a smile: "But if you go north, you have to be careful when you reach Lushui. The more smooth the water flows, the more you cannot walk during the day. When the poisonous gas in the mountains is sunny, most of them gather here. If people get close, they will be poisoned without a moment. This water cannot be drunk at will. It is best to find some spring water in the mountains to drink, otherwise it will be easy to get poisoned."

Liu Yi remembered what the mountain people said in his heart. After thanking him, he asked someone to invite the mountain people to stay. Many things in the southern middle place were not very clear. In order to avoid being caught, Liu Yi went to the nearby tribe and asked the clan leader for more than a dozen mountain people who were familiar with the nearby mountains and rivers and geography, and divided them into various armies to serve as guides.

In the next few days, Liu Yi and the mountain people carefully surveyed the terrain of Wuxue and made the sand table detailed to the approximate shape of each mountain and the mountain road before he was satisfied.

Then Liu Yi ordered people to talk about the source of Meng Huo's food and grass, and after choosing the right path, on the ninth day of the seventh month, Liu Yi ordered people to set up a village in the mountains, blocking the three main roads. He, Huang Zhong and Yang Ren each led a unit to guard the camp and completely cut off the absolute grain route. Liu Yi ordered Zhao Guang to go to Gukou to establish a village, so that Meng Huo would not pass by here.

...

On the other hand, after Meng Huo chose to go to the camp without blood, he made up his mind not to send troops and just waited for Liu Yi to attack. If Liu Yi took a detour, he would take the opportunity to rob his food road and cut off his way back. Seeing that Liu Yi was not coming for a long time, he would hold a banquet in the camp every day to be with the hosts who came from all walks of life.

On that day, Meng Huo was taking Mrs. Zhurong to have a banquet with the hosts of the caves when someone suddenly came to report that the Han army stopped the valley entrance and set up a village at the valley entrance, and cut off their food route.

Meng Huo had never considered this issue before.

Mrs. Zhu Rong beside her frowned and said, "After the grain road is broken, if our army replenishes the food and grass from Yunnan, it will take three hundred miles to reach it, which is quite inconvenient."

If the grain road of more than 100 miles was added at once, the consumption of grain transport would probably be greater than that of the army. Meng Huo just made a rough estimate in his mind and knew that this method was not feasible. There were not many grains and herbs in the southern central area. In previous years, it was mostly obtained from the Han people. Although they have obtained Yongchang grain storage, they cannot withstand such troubles.

Slapping his forehead, Meng Huo said with a frustration: "But I forgot this."

"But I don't know who the general guarding the valley entrance?" asked the cave master. Zhang Bao, who was under Liu Yi's command, was very powerful. The last time he fought with Zhang Bao, he almost got killed by Zhang Bao on the spot without the three-game. He felt a little afraid, let alone a person who could capture Meng Huo alive.

"When the Barbarian King, the other party is Zhao, and I can't understand the rest!" The barbarian general who came to repay the situation bowed and said.

"Zhao?" The master of the cave thought for a while and frowned: "There is a young general under Liu Yi's command named Zhao Guang. This person is the second son of Zhao Yun, the general under Liu Bei. He is like Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, so he should not be underestimated!"

Mrs. Zhurong stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I will go to break the camp myself."

"Madam, wait!" Among the barbarian generals, one suddenly stood up and looked at it. The general under Meng Huo was the chief of the general, Meng Huo. Before, Meng Huo returned alone without taking his troops. After these days, Meng Huo's troops who remained in Yongchang returned one after another. Now most of them are stationed in Kunchi to rest. This busy tooth is a powerful general under Meng Huo. Meng Huo also feels that he does not have a capable top spot. Although Mrs. Zhurong is a powerful man, he usually leads his own army, so he tied several generals around him to listen to it. This busy tooth is one of them.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Huoya Chang said proudly: "But an unknown person, if he is really capable, why don't Liu Yi let him out of the battle like the two generals of Guan and Zhang? The last general is willing to lead his army to take his head and offer it to the Barbarian King."

Meng Huo also felt that relying on his wife for everything would make him seem a little incompetent. Seeing that the busy tooth leader took the initiative to ask for the fight, Zhao Guang's reputation was not like Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao had already made a name in Nanzhong like that. Among the second-generation trio, he was one of the ones who was overlooked and should not be too capable.

"Madam, but a mere young general, Mrs. He Lao took action personally? She asked her to grow teeth, but this matter also needs attention. Liu Yi cannot break the food route for us." Meng Huo patted Mrs. Zhu Rong's back of her hand and smiled.

People cannot think that their dignified Barbarian King is a sloppy person. Although his wife is powerful, the prestige in this family still needs to be established.

Mrs. Zhurong nodded after hearing this and said nothing more. At that moment, Meng Huo gave him three thousand soldiers and horses to fight Zhao Guang.

When he hurriedly said goodbye to Meng Huo and led three thousand barbarians to the entrance of the valley, he saw that Zhao Guang had already set up a camp at the entrance of the valley. The camp area was quite large, and he included the entire entrance of the valley and water in the camp. When he saw the barbarian army coming, Zhao Guang did not leave the camp. His mission was to defend this place and force Meng Huo to attack.

Hurry-headed horses urged them to come to the front of the camp and said loudly to the direction of the camp: "Where is Zhao Guang? Do you dare to go out to the camp to fight me?"

Zhao Guang stood above the gate, frowned and looked at the barbarian soldiers, about 3,000 people, and Liu Yi only gave him one thousand people to guard the camp. At this time, if he went out to fight, he would naturally be unable to defeat his opponent. He immediately said loudly: "Why do you have to talk so much nonsense? If you want to pass, you can break through the camp. If you have no ability, you can go back and ask Meng Huo to fight."

The busy tooth chief was furious when he heard this and immediately rushed to attack.

Seeing that the barbarian army was in chaos and the siege was in no order, Zhao Guang stopped the archers from firing arrows. He just waited for the other party to approach the camp, and suddenly the arrows were fired at once, and a large number of barbarian soldiers were shot and killed.

In the chaos, the army was busy piping the arrow clusters that shot at him in a mess. Seeing that the enemy's arrow formation was powerful, they did not dare to force themselves, so they had to order the soldiers to retreat.

Zhao Guang stood on the enemy building, watching the chaos of the formation and the excessive advancement and retreating, and left two hundred people to guard the camp, personally led 800 soldiers out of the camp and followed.

The barbarian army was fleeing in a panic. He never thought that the Han army, who had not wanted to go out to fight before, suddenly broke out. The already chaotic formation was rushed by the Han army, and it became even more chaotic. He fled back all over the mountains. Zhao Guang ignored the barbarian soldiers who fled into the mountains and led his troops to kill the commander's flag.

The busy tooth leader obviously did not expect that he would come in a fierce manner, but he got such a result. Three thousand barbarian warriors were chased and killed by hundreds of people from the other side. He was very anxious and beat his horse and danced his sword, then rushed towards Zhao Guang, wanting to get this person first and kill the enemy back.

The two soon met on the battlefield. After just one round, they were toothed and were stabbed by Zhao Guang with a shot.

Although Liu Yi is more concerned about Guan Xing and Zhang Bao in the military camp. It is not that Liu Yi is favored by one or the other, but that he is at ease with Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang is down-to-earth and steady. Whether he is studying art or martial arts in the academy, he is a person who has made a solid foundation step by step, and he does not have to be inferior to Guan and Zhang Bao. In terms of tutoring, Zhao Yun obviously has more time and patience to teach his children than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In addition, he has studied with Liu Yi for several years and has a comprehensive ability, among the three, it is the best one.

This time, Liu Yi saw Zhao Guang's calm and arbitrary qualities and handed over this task to Zhao Guang. Now it seems that Zhao Guang obviously did not disappoint Liu Yi. He just fought and defeated the more with less and killed the enemy's chief general.

Seeing that the main general was killed, the other barbarians were in chaos and had no fighting spirit. Zhao Guang chased after him for more than ten miles before stopping the rush and leading his army back to the camp.

On the other hand, Meng Huo was still having a banquet with a group of cave masters, but received the news that the three thousand soldiers were killed in battle by Zhao Guang and the three thousand soldiers were defeated by Zhao Guang. He was shocked and angry and hurriedly led his troops to meet him. However, Zhao Guang had withdrawn his troops and returned to the camp at this moment, but he only recalled the defeated troops and recruited the generals to discuss matters.

"I don't want Zhao Guang to be so powerful!" A cave owner frowned and said, "Now that our food supply has been sealed. If this continues, I'm afraid I will collapse without fighting."

The three armies have no food, how can they fight this battle?

Meng Huo had a calm face and did not speak. At this moment, he understood that he had committed a military taboo and was only thinking about how to get Liu Yi to be hit, but he did not expect that he would send him into a dead end.

"For the sake of the present, I can only break this camp first and then discuss other things!" After a long silence, Meng Huo said in a deep voice.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the people around him had changed their eyes when they saw him, but now he was indeed a mistake in his decision-making. If he wanted to get angry, he had no reason to talk about it. He could only change the topic. At present, there are still some food and grass in the army, but it cannot last long. He must clear the grain channels as soon as possible.

Before, he thought of staying in the door and waiting for Liu Yi to attack, but at this moment he was no longer able to continue to attack Liu Yi's camp.

"Everyone, go and get some troops. Today we will break the Zhao Guang camp first and then fight against Liu Yi."

"Here!" The cave masters had no idea at this moment and nodded in agreement. The banquet could not be held anymore. Everyone returned to the camp and began to summon their troops to attack Zhao Guang's camp.

On the other hand, after Zhao Guang withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, he unexpectedly saw Ma Su waiting in the camp and hurriedly came to visit: "Why are you here sir?"

"Come on the order of the Marquis of Ting, congratulations to the general for his victory in the first battle." Ma Su said with a smile.

"But with the help of the geographical advantage." Zhao Guang shook his head modestly and said, "What instructions does the Hou of Zhiting have?"

"After this battle, when Meng Huo saw that the food road was cut off, he would definitely raise his troops to attack. In order to avoid excessive casualties, the Marquis of Ting ordered you to give up this camp and retreat to the food road." Ma Su said with a smile.

"Why is this?" Zhao Guang said in confusion.

"Will you not hear the momentum of one go, and then the declining again, and then the declining three times?" Ma Su said with a smile: "When Meng Huo comes with a fierce momentum, his morale will be strong. You should not fight him head-on at this time, and avoid it first. After the other party occupys this pass, his morale will fall. It will be easy to defeat him again!"
