Chapter 416: 416
Unlike the complicated situation at Jingzhou, the situation at Linhuai was easier to understand . Zhang Liao must confront an army with seventy thousand men .
His scouts had already been dispatched all over as he waited for Sun Quan to send reinforcements . He did not need to wait long for the scouts to report that troops were advancing towards Tuzhong at a really fast speed .
“General . We will be at the borders of Tuzhong after we get out of this forest . ” Ling Cao told Lu Meng .
Lu Meng nodded in response . He and Ling Cao were close friends and grew up together . Although they were close, Ling Cao placed importance in military position and only addressed him as ‘General’ ever since they entered the military . Lu Meng was also forced to change .
“Zigan . Have the army set up camp inside the jungle to rest!” Lu Meng said to his friend .
“Set up camp in the jungle?” Ling Cao was stunned . What was Lu Meng trying to do? Weren’t they supposed to join up with the defenders as soon as possible to defend Tuzhong? Why are they resting so far away from Tuzhong? On top of that, forests could be filled with ambushes and could be set on fire .
“Haha . Zigan, have you seen the map? Once we leave the forest, it would be a plain . Do you think we can stop the Xiliang Cavalry on open plains in our exhausted state? Have you forgotten what the Military Advisor said to us?”
Ling Cao nodded . He knew what Lu Su had said and understood Lu Su’s considerations . However, he did not know why they had to set up camp . They could just sit on the ground and eat their provisions without setting up camp . “Setting up camp here or at Tuzhong wouldn’t make a difference!”
