In the middle of the valley.

Mu Jing was wearing a loose robe, bowing his head to the wooden table, looking at the latest marked mountain maps, a pair of eyes were deeply sunken, the eyes were as black as pandas, and some of the Jingping army generals around him also looked deep and tired, for this battle, they deduced a full day and a night.

A quarter of an hour on the battlefield, a hundred days off the field.

Only by making more adequate preparations before the battle starts can you ensure that the battle will go according to your predictions.

Extrapolating this battle to the details of every step is Mujing's goal.

"Lord, if you want to form a hedge between them, time coordination is very important!"

Zhang Liao's deep voice echoed.

He had never seen anyone do the details of the war so carefully, but he had to admit that every time he deduced, he had a different feeling, as if he could continue to make progress and reduce casualties, this feeling came from his experience on the battlefield.

"Even though this forest is shrouded in fog, it will give us a natural opportunity!"

Chen Zhi also spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "But the enemy generals are probably not general, they are all people who fight on the battlefield, as long as they enter an unfamiliar terrain on the battlefield, they will become cautious!" ”

"So we need to motivate them as much as possible!"

Mu Jing said categorically: "On the battlefield, victory is always the goal, yearning for this goal, they will move forward, this is the fighting spirit, but also the fighting spirit, I believe in the fighting spirit of the Xiliang Army, otherwise it will make them stop!" ”

"It's okay to feint defeat, we are now fleeing from the wilderness, defeat is real, undefeated is a miracle, so as long as we pay enough price, they will definitely believe that we are defeated, but if you want them all to enter the urn, you must be lured in two ways, and you may not be able to complete the cooperation in time!"

Zhang Liao is still worried: "Once you miss a little time, your efforts will be wasted and they will wake up!" ”

"Where's your hourglass, take it out!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

One by one, the generals took out the hourglass from the guards and put it on the table.

Looking at the sky and knowing the time, that is what the master said, and it cannot be accurate.

There are still time calculators in this day and age.

That's the hourglass.

There is a unique scale on the hourglass, a total of ninety-six quarters, eight quarters an hour, twelve hours a day, the sand leaks out, that is, one day, there is a rotating place in the middle, after the leakage, directly turn over, reverse back to leak, leak another day.

This is the wisdom of people in this era.

"Now it's time to start carving!"

Mu Jing said: "I ask that your hourglass scale must be the same, and the error cannot occur within half an hour. ”

"Yes!"

The generals began to adjust the scales, these hourglasses are very simple, the natural error is very large, and there will be a gap in the adjustment, but it is already the best among them.

"How's it going?"

Xi Zhicai returned from the dust, went straight into the camp, and when he saw that all the generals were there, he asked.

"The rough plan is well discussed!"

Mu Jing replied: "Now it is still a matter of the accuracy of the terrain, the difference is thousands of miles, if we want to win this battle with the smallest casualties, we must do the most precise deduction, in order to have a chance to defeat them in one fell swoop!" ”

"I've already walked more than ten miles near the prescribed battlefield!"

Xi Zhicai took the bamboo tube from the hand of Jin Jiu, a soldier of the Divine Guard Army who was responsible for guarding his safety, and then opened it, and directly took out the drawings drawn one by one: "Let's take a look, this is the topographic map I drew myself!" ”

The generals hurriedly leaned up, and everyone picked up one or two to observe, observing the map is the basic skill of every general on the battlefield, and the basic skill of these Jingping army generals in this regard is still relatively solid.

These topographic maps, they began to digest constantly, and it took more than an hour to discuss them, and they could be considered to have eaten them thoroughly.

"It's a master drawing!"

Xi Zhicai spread out a drawing map with a rectangle of about one meter and a half, pointed to the place marked in red in the middle, and said: "This is the battlefield prepared by the lord, a very strange place, I have personally felt it, the whole field of the valley road is less than two miles, from the outside, you can definitely get by, but after entering, you will feel that the slope that looks like it is simply a mountain cliff, you can get in, you can't get through!" ”

"What about the left and right sides?"

Mu Jing asked the key question.

"As you wish, hedge!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

"Are you sure?"

"That's right!" A glint flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes: "And where there is a lot of fog, within three steps, you can't see your hand!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Jing's expression was full of scorching light, and said: "From now on, all departments will move and execute according to the plan, remember, you must align the time, and the cooperation in time is very important!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals are upright, energetic, and their voices are loud.

After receiving the order, they returned to the camp one by one to prepare.

"Hu Zhao's side, will you cooperate as scheduled?"

Xi Zhicai was a little worried.

"I believe Mr. Kong Ming!" Mu Jing thought for a moment and spoke.

This Kong Ming, not the other Kong Ming.

But this Kong Ming's talent is beyond doubt, especially in the just-concluded Xincheng Campaign, such a kind of ambush warfare, ordinary people can't do it, Hu Zhao can do it to this point, and he has more thoroughly revealed his level of martial arts.

"Then we'll wait for time now!"

Xi Zhicai sighed: "If this battle is successful, it will shake Guanzhong, but if we kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, we will be injured and injured!" ”

"If we don't hurt them, how can they let us go south so easily!" Mu Jing also pinned his hopes on this battle: "Dong Zhuo has a fierce temperament, and the Xiliang army has a strong temperament, they will not give up the pursuit so easily, only by letting them completely lose here can they be bogeyed!" ”

After being silent for half a quarter of an hour, Mu Jing said again: "This time to lure the enemy, mainly in Chen Zhi's fifth battalion and Xie Yu's third battalion, Chen Zhi I don't worry, he is considered to have been trained, let him rectify Hanoi, he actually reined in the Hanoi army, and when we were defeated, he could also let Hanoi surrender troops to his use, so that the fifth battalion not only resumed fighting, but also became stronger, he can do a good job in this task, I am worried about Xie Yu, Xie Yu's temper is a loophole after all, but now Xie Yu's third battalion, I can't take out Du Feng's second battalion and Mo Bao's fourth battalion! ”

Xi Zhi understood: "I'll go to the third battalion!" ”

"Dangerous!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "In the battle of luring the enemy, I am ready for the annihilation of the whole army, and I will exchange two battalions of troops for the victory of the officers and men of my three armies!" ”

It's not that he's ruthless, but decisive.

At this time, if you are not ruthless enough, it is not enough to lead the battlefield, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to rush out.

"That's why I'm going!"

Xi Zhicai smiled, his smile was as bright as the sun, natural and straightforward: "Xie Yu's character, I know too well, he is belligerent, and he is a good hand in fighting, but retreating is troublesome, luring the enemy is the key, and we can't make all the sacrifices not worth it!" ”

"Be careful!"

Mu Jing had nothing to say, he patted Xi Zhicai's shoulder and said: "Mu's ship was sunk, and now it is stranded on the beach, I am preparing to set sail again, there is one less person at the helm, the future is my battlefield, I don't want the name of Xi Zhicai to appear in history, and in the end it can only appear on the battlefield of Bears Ears Mountain!" ”

"I can't stay on the battlefield!"

Xi Zhicai laughed.

This is the arrogant ambition of a Confucian student: "I have assisted you to achieve a great cause in the history of the dragon, how can I be less famous in history, in the future, someone will record history, as long as the name of your herding dragon figure appears, I will naturally be indispensable to play Zhicai!" ”

……

The Western Liang army advanced thirty miles.

But they never found the main force of the Jingping army.

At this time, Niu Fu and Ma Teng were a little impatient.

Niu Fu paced back and forth in the camp tent of the joint operation, and said gloomily: "It's been two days, and the scouts have been released, but the main force of the herdsmen has never been found, could it be that the main force of the herdsmen has gone south?" ”

"Today and yesterday, there is still a battle between the scouts, and their main force should still be there!"

Ma Teng squinted his eyes and looked at a topographic map: "Yesterday we fought with the opponent's scouts twelve times, according to the location of the battle above, I drew a terrain and formed a semi-arc shape, if you guessed correctly, Jingping's main force is in this area!" ”

"But this one is too big!"

Niu Fu looked at it, that place, a hundred miles around is considered to be less, how to find out the herdsmen and horses.

"Isn't there any news from Lu Bu?"

Ma Teng asked suddenly.

"Yes!"

Niu Fu said this, only then did he remember, and said: "They pursued a part of the herdsmen south, and they have already passed Luhun County, and they are going south in a straight line, only a few dozen miles away from us, on our east side!" ”

He looked at the topographic map, speculated, and said, "It should be in this location!" ”

"Then how about we cut off this part of the soldiers and horses first?"

Ma Teng said.

"It's good!"

When Niu Fu heard this, he thought about it, it is not the same thing to be in a hurry, it is also a good thing for the troops to go east, flank Lu Bu in front and back, and take down part of the remnants of the herdsmen first.
