"Is there still no sign of sending troops to the Goguryeo military camp?"

More than ten days have passed since the last great war. During these ten days, Gongsun Du had no intention of sending troops except for sending people to monitor the situation of the Goguryeo military camp every day, and guarded the camp every day.

The bizarre thing is that Goguryeo is like this, shrinking in the camp every day, without the slightest intention of attacking the Han army camp, even if there are less than 5,000 Han troops.

When Huang Qing heard the question, she replied with a depressed expression: "Back to the lord, they have no signs of coming to attack. ”

Gongsun Du seemed to be used to hearing this answer, or he guessed Zhu Dali's thoughts from the situation these days, but he was not disappointed, and nodded.

Huang Qing was unhappy and said: "Lord, if they don't come, why should we wait, why don't we attack directly?" ”

After Huang Qing finished speaking, he secretly shouted that it was not good, but this statement was suspected of committing the following crimes. But fortunately, Gongsun Du didn't care, but said in surprise: "Why do you say that?" ”

Hearing Gongsun Du's words, Huang Qing bowed and said: "The subordinates have spoken in vain, and I ask the lord to forgive the sin!" ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are just a meritorious person, you can't talk nonsense, tell me your opinion." In fact, what Gongsun Du thought in his heart was whether he could take the opportunity to cultivate Huang Qing and make him a generation of female generals who will go down in history, or even a handsome woman.

Huang Qing didn't know the deep meaning, but he also relaxed, and said: "My lord, ten days ago, Goguryeo fought with us with an army of 20,000, but we were defeated and suffered heavy casualties, and our losses were very small. Now the Goguryeo camp is only more than 30,000 men and horses, and if it is suddenly attacked, it will definitely be defeated. ”

Gongsun Du did not directly deny it when he heard this, but said: "Do you have a specific plan?" Tell me about it! ”

Huang Qing was stunned in an instant, she just felt angry, and just mentioned it in passing, where did she think of any plan. Suddenly, he lowered his head with a hot face.

When Gongsun Du saw it, he understood, and comforted: "You don't have to be embarrassed, it's good to have ideas, and what I'm most afraid of is not having ideas." ”

After a pause, he said, "However, this time is a little different. ”

Gongsun Du saw that Huang Qing's face was full of disbezement, but he pricked up his ears again, understanding that she wanted to know all kinds of reasons. And he continued—

"This time it is not the Goguryeo clan action, there are Buyeo and Xianbei, Buyeo will not say, although Xianbei does not know its specific movements, but Tanshihuai deliberately withdrew Changli's men and horses, obviously has other intentions, the specific is not clear, but at least there is an intention to contain part of our troops."

"Therefore, although Goguryeo and we have tested each other, they will definitely not do it to us before the other two roads have not started."

Huang Qing said in a speechless voice: "Lord, are you saying that the sacrifice of more than 10,000 people in Goguryeo was just a temptation for us?" ”

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "That's right, Xianbei, Buyeo, and Goguryeo, the first two have fought with us, and they know our strength, but Goguryeo is just heard." There is a way to ......"

Huang Qing interjected: "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles? ”

Gongsun Du glanced at her with a smile, saw that she was quite embarrassed, and didn't care, and continued: "That's right. That's why they fought with us to understand what we're capable of. Now that we know our strength, they naturally won't attract our attention stupidly, lest we put the main forces on their side. ”

However, there was one sentence that Gongsun Du didn't say in his heart, that is-"Maybe those people are just cannon fodder, not even cannon fodder, they want to make someone have the idea of underestimating the enemy." The most critical point is that he wants to take the opportunity to pull Lou Ru into the gang. ”

Thinking about this, Gongsun Du didn't mean to say it: "It's just that they obviously miscalculated, and they didn't expect to sacrifice so many people." ”

"Huh? Why? Huang Qing said curiously.

"First of all, they don't know our strength, they don't understand our tactics, and they are caught off guard and suffer heavy losses; Second, the fact that the 20,000 men were sent out in two parts shows that they did not expect; In the end, they and even all the rest of them were dispatched, except for the accident of besieging us, and a certain thought that they wanted to scare us away and reduce casualties. ”

When Huang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but think back to the situation at the time, and then shouted: "It's really like this, these guys are really cunning." ”

Gongsun Du said dumbly: "Are you even scolding so-and-so?" ”

Huang Qing's face changed, and she fell to the ground with a "poof": "Lord, the crimes of his subordinates deserve death......"

Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "Okay, so-and-so just say it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

Huang Qing still felt that something was wrong, and Gongsun Du said with a blank face: "What, what a certain person said doesn't work?" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Huang Qing bowed again, and then stood up.

In the following time, as Gongsun Du guessed, Zhu Dali had no intention of marching at all, and even retreated the military camp dozens of miles back in order to show sincerity.

In this regard, Gongsun Du's heart sank, because this probably meant that Goguryeo and Lou Ru were already allies, and it was very likely that he promoted them single-handedly.

Fortunately, as long as Goguryeo does not attack now, it will be enough for him. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Liaodong. Because with the passage of time, the strength of the Han army is constantly increasing, and with each additional year, the strength of the army will increase. As for the number of increases, it depends on the number of people Cheng Pu brings back.

Before the attack of the three clans, Gongsun Du had already sent Cheng Pu to lead a larger number of warships to set sail again to Donglai, and he hoped to complete two or even three population transportation this year to rapidly increase the strength of the Han army in Liaodong.

……

The Buyeo army in Gaoxian, hearing about what happened to the Goguryeo army in Qianshan, immediately withdrew from Gaoxian, but did not go far.

When Gongsun Du heard about it, he scoffed at it and was disdainful. He understood Fuyu's thoughts, and he didn't want to be attacked by Gongsun Du's Han army, and he didn't want to offend Xianbei, so he took a compromise method and retreated a few points, which could not only show weakness to him, but also play a certain role in restraining him.

The most important thing is that even if he is unhappy and sends someone to kill, he can escape directly.

Neither side wants to offend, how is it possible?

In the end, it is likely that both sides will be offended, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

……

In the direction of Changli, Xianbei still has no movement, but the news of Jizhou and Merge keeps coming. However, Gongsun Du firmly believed that Tanshi Huai must have some conspiracy, and as long as he slackened, he would inevitably be hit by thunder. Because if it were him, he would not tolerate such a powerful enemy staring at him.

As for Buyeo and Goguryeo, as a cover on the surface, it is more likely to attract attention.

Gongsun Du couldn't guess Tan Shihuai's thoughts, so he could only let the Netherworld increase its exploration efforts and try to find the Xianbei army that might be hidden as much as possible.

After several months of stalemate, Buyeo and Goguryeo had no intention of marching, and there was only the slightest news of Xianbei in the direction of Changli. Gongsun Du thought that this year would pass under the stalemate of many parties.

However, in August, when Tanshihuai captured most of Bingzhou and Jizhou, shaking the Central Plains, a team of people who should not have appeared appeared in Changli, disrupting Gongsun Du's plan in one fell swoop.

At this time, Gongsun Du knew what Tanshi Huai's plan was.
