But if the performance is unsatisfactory, when the time comes, not to mention that the ducks that have been cooked and delivered to their mouths will fly, and the rest of the benefits, you don't even need to think about it. As for what Ye Fu has now, there is a chance that it will also be recovered by Xiong Tingbi. That's more than worth the cost!

Therefore, Ye Fu must now figure out what those uneasy factors in his heart are hinting at.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "So, Mr. Xu, where do you think this suspicion points to?" What the hell do the Tartars want to do? It's so abnormal, it can't be just trying to tease me, right? ”

"Naturally not!" Xu Gaozhuo denied the possibility of a joke, and immediately expressed his guess. He said, "My lord, according to what the students have seen, after the battle of Salhu, our army suffered heavy casualties, but the Tartars were not without their bones. Whether it is a tough robbery of the city, or sending troops to loot, it is all because they themselves have suffered a lot of losses, and the winter is long and difficult, and the spring is also not good. So, the students think that they don't have so much leisure to joke with us about this kind of thing. As for the strategy of exhausting the troops, it is also unlikely. Because if we slip our troops in this way, their armies will also be tired. This is not worth the loss, and the students think it is unlikely. ”

"So what is the situation as you see it?"

When Ye Fu asked this, he saw Xu Gaozhuo's face solemn, and he seemed to be a little unspeakable.

Seeing this, Ye Fu sighed and said, "At this time, you don't have to think too much. If I don't know where this anxiety is coming from, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Mr. Xu, you should take me a reassuring pill, if you have any guesses, just say it. ”

Xu Gaozhuo nodded, and what he said made Ye Fu couldn't help but be shocked.

"Your Excellency." Xu Gaozhuo took half a step forward, lowered his voice, and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, do you think that the Tartars will already know about the matter of Yongdian Fort before?" ”

"Huh?" Ye Fu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Gaozhuo say this. Then, my body sweated for a while, and I poured out a cold sweat.

Careless!

Ye Fu slapped his thigh and thought in his heart.

At the beginning, Yongdian Fort was sacked by the Tartars, and on the way back, they met Ye Fu's Lu Ding Battalion, and took advantage of the gap when Lu Ding's troops were resting in the village in the evening, and the Tartar soldiers launched a surprise attack and almost wiped out Fang Mengda's troops. Ye Fu led people to ambush and take revenge.

The battle record is naturally very good, and they completely annihilated the Tartar soldiers and snatched back what was robbed. Immediately afterwards, he also successfully used a trick to open the gate of Yongdian Fort and won Xu Pingong.

This series of victories made Ye Fu forget the hidden dangers that this matter might bring to him.

Now that I think about it, I really regret it.

"Careless! It's really careless! Ye shook his head and said, "This matter is my fault, if there is any problem caused by this, I should also bear it." If what I expected, the Tartars did not do it for anything else. It should be just testing my power! Being able to completely annihilate the Tartar cavalry is definitely a roadblock for them in a small area. I'm afraid that after testing my depths, it's time to take action to get rid of me. ”

The more Ye Fu spoke, the more he regretted it, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"If I had known today, I shouldn't have killed them all in the first place. The Tartars are hateful, but while getting rid of a small group of cavalry, they bury a hidden danger for themselves, which should not be. If I had driven them away at that time, I am afraid that there would not be the current problem. ”

When Ye Fu said this, he naturally had his own considerations.

He is now the garrison of the string of military forts stationed in the Kuanjiao defensive line, and he is no longer the one who did not collect hundreds of households that night.

At that time, he encountered an enemy on the way to investigate, and he said that he would kill him, so naturally he did not have any scruples. Because the division of labor was different from now, he was a scout at that time, and no matter who he killed, he didn't have to be afraid of being associated with the Tartars. Even if the Tartars would retaliate, it wasn't something he had to worry about.

But now it's different, he has so many military forts with a wide defensive line. But according to the original habit, kill when you say it, and there is no planning at all, so how can it work?

Just like it is now.

Because of the disappearance of all members of a Tartar squad, it is likely that someone has already suspected the surrounding military fort. Moreover, Ye Fu also thought of it. Did he send someone to inform his superiors of his exploits after the Tartar cavalry had plundered? If it had been reported, it would have been even worse.

This time, the pot can undoubtedly only be detained on the heads of these military forts.

The undisciplined and tentative raiding of the Tartars also further illustrates that after losing some of the people, they began to test the strength of Ye Fu's military fort. What's even worse is that Ye Fu recently ordered the following to be strictly rectified. After disrupting the officers, they also sent personnel to supervise the training. Although the overall strength has not improved a lot, it has improved in some aspects.

In the process of counterattacking, since there are many small victories, it means that these improved strengths have basically been exposed to the Tartars' field of vision.

What there is and nothing there is.

The most taboo thing is to let the enemy see through!

Therefore, the art of war is exquisite, the virtual and the real, the real with the virtual, and the virtual with the real.

Sometimes, if you can win, you have to pretend to be defeated, and sometimes, knowing that you are defeated, you must also pretend that you still have the strength to spare.

There are more ways in this, Ye Fu is a little remorseful, and he didn't think of it for a while.

Wouldn't it be dangerous to let the Tartar touch his own arrangement?

After all, Ye Fu's family knows his own affairs, and the ability of his subordinates is really not good!

Xu Gaozhuo naturally saw Ye Fu's self-blame.

But he is different from Ye Fu, the two of them have different statuses, and they need to think differently.

Ye Fu can think about his own mistakes, and it is necessary to introspect. And Xu Gaozhuo should naturally point out some of Ye Fu's mistakes in a timely manner to help him introspect. But it is not because of something that Ye Fu's confidence will be destroyed for a period of time, which Xu Gaozhuo cannot accept.

Therefore, when he found that Ye Fu's mood suddenly changed, he hurriedly said: "My lord, in fact, this may not be caused by your lack of leeway. ”

"You don't have to comfort me." Ye Fu said, "I still have this bit of self-knowledge!" To do something wrong is to do something wrong, and now we have to think about how to remedy it. ”

When Xu Gaozhuo heard this, he immediately shook his head, "My lord, the student is not comforting you!" Why do you think the Tartars must be sure that you were the one who killed their cavalry? There are only two possibilities! One of them is that it was not completely annihilated at that time, but a fish that escaped through the net! But even if you slip through the net, it's unlikely that you'll be sure who you really are. And looking at the meaning of the Tartar temptation, it is clear that the person who kills this cavalry is your army! Then, it can only be the second possibility. ”

"What is possible?" Ye Fu asked.

Xu Gaozhuo replied: "Adults just don't think about this, in fact, as long as you think about it, you should know that this is not the fault of adults, but the fault of students!" ”

"Oh? What does this say? Ye Fu felt a little surprised.

Even if it wasn't his pot, it would never be Xu Gaozhuo's pot! He still knows a little bit about this.

But Xu Gaozhuo was eloquent, "At the beginning, it was the official document that the student drafted for you. In order to let the court know your merits, there is a lot of exaggeration. Your Excellency knows that not only is my Liaodong Army not monolithic, but there are also many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they plan to dig holes for this army. The student thought that someone above had seen the document and revealed it to the Tartars. That's when the Tartars knew that you were the one who destroyed their cavalry! Moreover, due to the exaggerated ingredients above, the Tartars may really overestimate our strength! ”

That's how bad it is!

It's just terrible!

Ye Fu stood up, his brows furrowed, and he paced with his hands behind his back.

Nowadays, it doesn't matter who is to blame.

The important thing is that the mistake has been made, and because of the wrong way of dealing with it, the Tartars may have tested the strength of the army of the Kuanjian line. Next time, who knows if it's a big attack?

Ye Fuke knew that in history, the Kuanju defense line was extremely unstable this year, and a large number of livestock and people were robbed by the Tartars, and it has been in a state of decline since then, until it finally fell.
