"Oh?" said Mandula, looking at the one in front of the tent, "and didn't see the commander of the enemy army?"

"Yes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Meticulous Manner" The enemy commander suddenly disappeared for some reason. ”

"Gone?" Madura muttered with a look of surprise on his face, "There hasn't been a confrontation yet." How could the boss not be seen?" slowly moved his gaze to the other detail, "Have you ever seen the enemy commander?"

"I haven't seen it. ”

"Do you know when he disappeared?"

"On the day when the so-called Pingxi general Han Zhongbang led his troops to rescue the Baturu Division. ”

"The enemy's banner is at this time?"

"In. ”

"Where?"

"In the direction of Jizhou. ”

Madura whispered, her brows furrowed together, and she pondered for a long time. The generals beside him, seeing him pondering, did not dare to speak, and focused their eyes on him, waiting for his results.

After about a stick of incense, Mandu came out of his thoughts, looked at one of them and said, "In the direction of Jizhou, who is the leader?"

"It's Du Rulie. ”

"Do you know what this person is?"

The man under the tent answered. Mandula listened to this person's words Du Rulie, his brows first wrinkled, then slowly stretched, and finally a smile slowly appeared on his face, and his mouth said, "Well, it must be so, it must be so..."

Hearing Mandula's words, and seeing Mandula's face like this, all the generals were puzzled, and looked at Mandula together, and said, "I hope the general will say it clearly and solve our doubts..."

Mandula looked at the generals and said, "Don't worry, I will explain later." "Looking at the detailed work in front of the tent," you and the others continued to investigate, especially in the direction of Jizhou, and looked at their movements at this time and the speed of the march. ”

He took the order and left. Looking at the back of the departing fine work, Mandula slowly closed his eyes and slowly leaned back on the tiger skin chair behind him. When the generals saw Mandu like this, they stared at him for a long time, but did not see any movement from him, and with full doubts, they picked up the wine glass on the table and poured wine into their mouths to calm their minds at this time.

The meat on the table was approaching, the wine was empty, and at last I heard the sound outside the tent. Hearing these few sounds, not only the generals, but even Mandula slowly sat up and looked at the curtain of the big tent.

The door curtain moved slightly, and several Central Plains people dressed up looked at Mandu and the generals in the big tent and saluted, and said, "General Hui, the enemy army in the direction of Jizhou has really slowed down the march, and set up camp thirty miles away from Jizhou, and on the mountain west of Jizhou, there are also enemy flags flashing. I disguised myself as a firewood collector and secretly went up the mountain, and sure enough, I saw a new camp erected on the mountain."

The man's words fell, and a horse roared outside the account. After a while, I saw a person hurriedly walking to the big tent, looking at Mandu Lashi and saluting, "Those enemy camps in Baturu do not see the enemy's banner, and it is difficult to detect the reality of the enemy's army. It seems to be as tight as iron, and no news is communicated. Moreover, one of our troops has already fallen into the hands of the enemy at this time..."

After listening to this man's words, Mandula calmed them down a little and sent them to rest. After a few people walked out, Mandula looked at the generals and said, "I'm afraid that at this time, the enemy's main general and main force have arrived at the Baturu Division." ”

"How do you know?" the generals wondered, "Isn't Shuai Qi in the direction of Jizhou at this time? How could the general say that the main force of the enemy army has reached the Baturu Division?"

Mandula smiled and said, "Generals, do you know why the enemy army set up camp thirty miles from Jizhou?"

The generals glanced at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time and said, "I don't know, I hope the general will tell you." ”

Mandula picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, and said slowly, "That's because the enemy commander is not there, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the enemy army are no longer there, if the enemy army enters Jizhou." Jizhou was captured by our army, and they had no place to return; however, if they set up camp thirty miles from Jizhou, if our army attacked, they could attack and retreat. It is arguably the best choice. ”

"How could the general guess that the main force of the enemy army is not in the direction of Jizhou, but in Baturu?"

"If the enemy's main force is in the direction of Jizhou, it will definitely enter the city at this time, instead of camping thirty miles from Jizhou. Mandu said: "When the enemy's main force enters Jizhou City, how can our army take Jizhou?" At that time, I was afraid that the two cities that had just been captured would also be surrendered. However, if the enemy holds Jizhou, at that time, our army will definitely capture the Baturu Division, and the grasslands will be connected in a line, and every place will become a must-defend place for the enemy. Our army is mostly cavalry, and the enemy is mostly infantry, and they must fight hard at that time, and they must lose the strength to fight, and they will surely be defeated. As long as you are a soldier who uses it, you will know the key points. And Li Muqi, who is extremely good at using soldiers, how can he not know this reason? How dare he send Baturu to our army?" He smiled slightly, and continued, "He can only send Jizhou to our army, and then find a way to take Jizhou back." Suddenly, he got up from his chair, pulled out the map on the other case, and pointed to the generals, "All the generals, look: Our army has captured Jizhou, and the enemy army thirty miles away from Jizhou, plus the enemy troops in these places, as well as the enemy army in Baturu, will definitely form an encirclement of our army, and at that time, our army will inevitably have to give up the Jizhou it has obtained." ”

"In that case, why does the general still attack Jizhou at this time?" suddenly rejoiced on his face, and said, "Could it be?"

"Yes," said Mandula, smiling, "I have been discussing this battle with General Zahr before I have even set out on the expedition, and this has already happened to me, and all things have developed as we thought at that time, and there is hardly any difference. "Pointing to the two cities that have already been obtained," and it will be much easier to capture these two cities than I had imagined. ”

"It's just," the general said, looking at Mandu, "where is the backup?"

Mandula smiled and said, "I think I should be on my way by this time." Looking at the generals who were still puzzled, he explained, "I think you all know about the tribes on the grassland," a few wisps of mockery suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly, "As long as you can see what you hope for in your heart, they will do anything if they can only get sweetness..."

"But," said a general with a face full of worry, "What if the main force of the enemy army is not in Baturu, but in Jizhou?" ”

"He doesn't dare," said the general, "if so, he will surely lose Baturu." ”

"No, it's possible. Mandula's eyebrows were tightly locked together, looking at the map, and said slowly, "The Central Plains Art of War says, 'The real is virtual, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real'." Mandula took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have to guard against it." Slowly turned around, patrolled in front of the generals for a long time, and suddenly focused his eyes on his side and said, "It's also fast, you are willing to take a team to go, Baturu Department, and test it." ”

He also said happily, "I will be willing to go." ”

Seeing the joy on Yesula's face, Mandu La said again, "This way, the general must fight with all his strength, and he must know the reality of the enemy's army." ”

Seeing the assurance that Hura patted his chest, Mandula turned and left. He looked at the other general beside him and said, "General Chabala, you also take a team of soldiers to the enemy army in Jizhou." Seeing the joy on Chabala's face, he said, "Remember, only defeat, not victory." Seeing the incomprehension on Chabala's face, he said, "I have my own intentions." ”

Although Chabala was full of reluctance, he did not dare to disobey Mandula's order, with a stomach full of incomprehension and doubt, with a trace of complaint on his face, he looked out of the tent and left.

I saw the two depart. Mandula called the guards, whispered a few times in their ears, and took the order.

At this time, there were only a few generals left in the tent with puzzled faces looking at Mandu...
