On the sand table, the soldiers are staggered.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao played against each other for more than an hour.

"You're really a dead man!"

Mu Jing looked at the sand table diagram dumbfounded, the small red flag representing his own troops was left, and the blue battle flag had already surrounded his own group, and it was really difficult to fly with wings.

"I lost!"

He picked up the last few flags and said helplessly.

After this game, he understood that on the battlefield, there was really a big gap between him and Zhang Liao, not to mention anything else, just the same, the sophistication in command, he was far inferior.

A commander is about the strength of all soldiers and horses.

Mu Jing personally commanded a team of soldiers and horses to fight, issued orders, predicted the battlefield, and reacted to the battle...... If he can exert 60 or 70 percent of the strength of the soldiers under his command at most, Zhang Liao can personally command and give full play to 890 percent of his strength.

This is the gap between the commanders.

"A certain victory is not martial!"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "A certain family is familiar with all the arrangements in the army today, the Jingping Second Army, the Yellow Turban Army, all their troops, logistics, and even the habits of each general, which one can fight a tough battle, which one is good at attacking, and a certain one knows it in his heart, but although the lord is standing in Zhang Lu's position, he doesn't know Zhang Lu's detailed deployment, he doesn't know Zhang Lu's troops, and he doesn't understand Zhang Lu's thoughts, so he is not a martial artist!" ”

"A win is a win!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Although I don't know Zhang Lu's deployment, but Zhang Lu's thoughts, guess one or two is still capable, plus the news reported by the scout, I also know a lot about his troops, this game, if it is a battlefield battle, you already have an eight-point chance of winning!" ”

He continued: "Of course, don't be proud, after all, in the final analysis, a certain family is not Zhang Lu, the weather is considerable, and people's hearts are unpredictable, for example, in the deduction of this battle, I can deal with it calmly, step by step, but on the battlefield, Zhang Lu may not be able to calm down, if people are not calm, it is inevitable that the dog will jump over the wall, then it will not be speculated that his deployment can be made, he will not even do it at any cost, not based on his own safety, forcibly attack, this is the difference between people's hearts, no one can expect Zhang Lu's next move, so the battlefield game, You still need to be careful, be careful! ”

"The last general will not forget the instructions of the lord!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down, thanking Mu Jing for the reminder.

Mu Jing is not wrong, under normal circumstances, he can anticipate the enemy like a god, but once Zhang Lu is out of control, what Zhang Lu will do at that time, I really can't say, if he is allowed to take advantage of the loophole, he may not be able to win this battle.

"You take the sand table, you can mobilize the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, but a certain reminder to you, there is not much food and grass, and you don't have much time, once you fall into the crisis of food and grass, the army is in turmoil, even if your strategy is outstanding, it may not work, but it gives the city a chance to encircle and suppress us!"

Mu Jing is now handing over the battlefield to Zhang Liao is a proud gamble, to be honest, he is not very relieved, so he urges everything.

As a man, his desire to control is still very heavy.

But he understands one thing, on the battlefield, he must learn to delegate power, after all, he is not the piece of material that can be undefeated on the battlefield, what he is best at is employing people, and the things of fighting the war, he still leave it to Zhang Liao and these people to complete.

"Don't worry, the last general won't give them a chance!"

Zhang Liao said confidently.

That night, Zhang Liao arranged for his own soldiers to move the established sand table into his own camp.

In the next two days, Zhang Liao still stood still.

Mu Jing has already urged him once, and he will not put pressure on Zhang Liao for the second time, he will wait and see Zhang Liao play.

Another night.

"It's out of the water!"

"Fight the fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The herdsman's camp suddenly caught fire in silence, burning half of the sky, and the fierceness of the fire made everyone pay attention, and the sound of firefighting in the panic of countless people was transmitted for miles away, so that people had to look here.

"The barracks outside the city are on fire?"

On the city wall, Yang Ang, the general of the Hanzhong Army, stared at the outside of the city, looked at the firelight of half the sky, and squinted slightly: "Someone!" ”

"In!"

Several generals bowed their heads and stood by.

"Send scouts and see what's going on outside the city?"

"No!"

The Scout Lieutenant personally went out of the city to inquire.

This incident quickly alarmed Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu has not been able to eat well and sleep early recently, waiting for news day and night, waiting for an opportunity to fight back, but it can be regarded as exhausting, this night he discussed with Yan Pu and them for a long time before falling asleep, and he didn't sleep for long, and he heard someone come to report.

After he had put on his robes, he himself went up to the wall.

"Master Shijun!" Yang Ang saw Zhang Lu coming up and hurriedly saluted.

"What's going on outside the city, can I inquire?"

Zhang Lu waved his hand and asked.

"The scouts have already inquired, but no news has come back yet, it seems that the military camp outside the city has run out of water, but I don't dare to act rashly, after all, it can't be said that this is their conspiracy!"

Yang Ang arched his hand and said: "The last general thinks that at this moment, we should be steady, and we should not rush in easily, the bad situation is good!" ”

"You're doing the right thing!"

Zhang Lu nodded in approval, at this time he burned the granary of the herdsmen and cut off the grain road of the herdsmen, it was the herdsmen who were in a hurry, not him, so it was okay to defend the city steadily, but his eyes looked outside the city, but he was ready to move.

"Report to Master Shijun, report to General, the situation has been clarified!"

More than two hours, about dawn, the scout lieutenant returned and reported the situation: "The place where the herdsmen have piled up grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and the fire seems to have burned the grain and grass of the herdsmen!" ”

"Is this news confirmed?"

When Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes burst into a scorching heat: "Who did it?" ”

"We paid for more than ten children's lives, ventured closer, and saw very clearly, there is still a lot of burning food!"

The lieutenant replied: "As for who did it, I don't know, but we look at it, there are corpses on the ground, all of them are black, I am afraid that someone took advantage of the night to break into the herdsmen's camp and burn the herdsmen's grain and grass!" ”

"Keep looking!" Yang Ang thought for a while, and said to the scout captain: "Be sure to confirm the truth of this news for me, and then go and check again, who may break into the barracks and burn its grain and grass!" ”

"No!"

The Scout Lieutenant surrendered his command.

"Yan Pu, do you think this news is true or false, and who did it?" Zhang Lu calmed down, looked at Yan Pu, who was also on the city wall, and asked in a low voice.

"I can't tell!"

Yan Pu shook his head: "But no matter what, we must be calm and not rash!" ”

"I agree with Yan Changshi's words!"

Yang Ang nodded and said.

"Then wait a little longer!" Zhang Lu is not in a hurry.

…………

……

The next day, the barracks outside the city.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao stood in the eastern corner of a charred camp.

Mu Jing smiled and said, "You have invested a little money!" ”

"What people can see is food, and it doesn't cost much, and the inside is empty, but it's just some grass and trees!" Zhang Liaodao.

"You're so sure the city is convinced?"

"If only he knew who burned it, he would believe it!" Zhang Liaodao.

"Who burned it?" Mu Jing asked.

"Zhang Huo!"

"Him?" Mu Jing was so smart, and suddenly thought of Zhang Ning's early departure and late return in the past few days: "You won't be the one who uses the Five Bucket Rice Sect!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Liao nodded calmly: "If it weren't for the reminder of Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, I wouldn't have thought of such a target, the most important thing is Zhang Xiu's son, Zhang Yu's cooperation, really summoned a few masters of the Five Doumi Sect, I have seen them, the martial arts are good, if they break through, I may not be able to stop a few, saying that they burned our grain and grass, someone will believe it!" ”

"Five buckets of rice sect!" Mu Jing squinted slightly: "If you don't enter Hanzhong, you don't know its foundation, but now you have to go to Yongxi City, and the penetration of Fangzhi's Five Doumi Sect is so powerful, it is better than the Taiping Dao!" ”

If five out of ten people were followers of the Five Doumi Sect, then the terrifying force of the force was immeasurable.

"Lord, the Five Doumi Sect can only be used, not killed!" Zhang Liao thought about it for a while, and suddenly said a sentence, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have said this, but he saw the power of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and he still wanted to remind Mu Jing.

"Don't worry, I know!"

The herman nodded, not continuing to discuss this topic, and returned to the topic: "Is it going to be withdrawn next?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Liao nodded, with a little helplessness in his expression: "If you want the fish to take the bait, you still have to take the bait!" ”

At noon that day, the herdsmen began to withdraw their troops secretly, of course, only the Chinese army, and the Yellow Turban troops on both sides only moved to the periphery, not retreated with their troops.

The so-called secret withdrawal of troops, that is, the withdrawal of people, heavy camps, etc., will not make a big move, do not attract the attention of the city, and without knowing the situation, quietly retreated, and directly withdrew to Nanshui County.
