The book is picked up again.

Three days later, the night ......

"Did you really see it clearly?!" In my tent, Li Ru looked at an agent in front of him with a solemn face and asked.

"Qi Qi military division, subordinates can clearly understand that the enemy has indeed sent 10,000 troops out of the city for two consecutive days.

Tonight, my subordinates were afraid of making a mistake, so they ventured closer.

In the end, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the matter, the enemy did send 10,000 troops out of the city every day, and the people who went out of the city were stationed dozens of miles outside the city, and had no intention of returning to the city. ”

"Well...... Li Ru looked at the spy in front of him with a very firm expression, so he also believed his words,

This spy was picked up by him, and it is unlikely that he will betray him, so his words are very credible!

After thinking of this, Li Ru squinted his eyes and waved his hand, and said, "You go down first, pay attention, continue to stare at the city, and once there is something, come and report it immediately." ”

"No!" The spy answered and hurried away.

After the spy left, Dong Zhuo impatiently asked Li Ru, "Wen You, what do you think the enemy's conspiracy is?" ”

"Intrigues?" After Li Ru heard these four words, he shook his head and said thoughtfully: "It's not necessarily that the enemy is really planning to leave." ”

"Huh?!" After Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "The enemy is not a fool, how can he leave now?"

Moreover, the enemy did not fall to the downside, and there are walls to follow, but in fact they still have the upper hand, why should they go when they have such a big advantage?! ”

To say that Cao Cao is going to flee now, Dong Zhuo is 10,000 unbelievers!

He has dealt with Cao Cao too many times, from the time he was in Luoyang City to the princes to fight Dong, and then to the current battle of Chang'an.

From previous contacts, Dong Zhuo found that Cao Cao was a very stubborn and difficult person to deal with!

Once he's set his sights on a target, it's death to death!

Just like the princes at the beginning, when Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, he pursued Dong Zhuo like a mad dog!

You know, there was a plague at that time!

If it had been an ordinary general, he would have been stationed to guard against the plague.

But Cao Cao was different from others, he braved being infected by the plague, and still led a large army to attack Chang'an frantically!

At that time, if it weren't for luck standing by Dong Zhuo's side and letting Cao Cao's army be contaminated with the plague, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo really wouldn't be able to hold Chang'an!

And it is precisely because of these things that Dong Zhuo knows that Cao Cao is not a person who gives up easily!

What's more, now that Cao Cao has not fallen into disadvantage, how could he retreat?

"Hehe......" After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's questioning, he chuckled lightly and said confidently: "Of course Cao Cao is unwilling to retreat, but the current situation can no longer tolerate his willfulness!"

If he doesn't retreat, it won't be long before he loses this battle! ”

"Cao Cao will lose?" After Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Wen You, do you mean that Cao Cao will lose this battle?" ”

When he asked this, Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of disbelief, God knows how much he wanted to win Cao Cao once!

I know that when the princes were fighting Dong, Cao Cao was completely better than Dong Zhuo.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's luck at that time, the others would be gone!

In addition, Li Zhi, who has been bullying Dong Zhuo, has joined Cao Cao's command again, so Dong Zhuo very much hopes that he can defeat Cao Cao to wash away his past shame!

"That's right!" After Li Ru nodded, he pointed to the map on the wall and said, "From the overall situation, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in Sizhou and Yongzhou are all in the upper hand!"

Especially in Sizhou, where Li Zhi was stationed, he won more with less, and beat Liu Biao and others to a miserable time!

But Liu Biao and they are numerous, and if Li Zhi wants to defeat them, it will take at least a year!

And although Yongzhou, where we are located, is also at a disadvantage, it can be like Liu Biao and can hold on.

As long as I don't take the initiative to attack Chang'an, then Cao Cao can't help me, and it will take at least a year for these two states to decide the winner! ”

Speaking of this, he pointed in the direction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou and said: "And Sun Ce is similar to us, although he attacked very fiercely, but his results were few.

Looking at this situation, even if I wait here to decide the winner, I am afraid that he will not get much success there, and he can ignore him. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head, then turned his gaze to Yanzhou and said, "In addition to us, the situation in Yanzhou, where Zhang Yan is located, is similar.

Although Zhang Yan is now on the defensive, she can turn defense into offense at any time!

However, Lu Bu's force is too powerful, and Zhang Yan has no generals who can contend with him, so he can only defend helplessly.

And if you want to open up the situation in Yanzhou, there must be an external force to hold Lu Bu back, so that Zhang Yan can calmly arrange a counterattack strategy. ”

After ......talking about the situation of these princes, Li Ru let out a long breath, stared at the location of the last prince, Gongsun Zhan, and said seriously: "This is the biggest variable!"

Gongsun Zhan's army is strong, and he has been fighting against foreign races all year round, and his combat power is extraordinary!

Therefore, his offensive was very ferocious, and he was about to break through the border defenses of Jizhou and Bingzhou.

As long as he breaks through these two states, then he can go to support Yanzhou, and when the time comes, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu!

And once they defeat Lu Bu, then they can fight with Sun Ce back and forth, and take Yuzhou and Xuzhou!

In this way, it is equivalent to copying Cao Cao's nest, and at that time, Cao Cao will only have Sizhou and Yongzhou left, so to speak, I will wait for the victory to be decided!

Therefore, now is the time to compete in speed, if Cao Cao can solve us first, then he can turn around and deal with Liu Biao and the others!

After he kills Liu Biao and the others again, even if Gongsun Zhan can break through Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, it will be useless!

Because only the princes of the three roads are left, and they are not Cao Cao's opponents at all! ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru rubbed his temples and said solemnly: "In other words, if Cao Cao can solve us or Liu Biao first, then Cao Cao will be able to dominate the world!"

And if Gongsun Chan is allowed to break through Jizhou or Merge with Prefecture first, then we will win!

Therefore, when Cao Cao found that he could not solve us in a short time, he would inevitably take the risk of dividing his troops and uniting with Li Zhi to attack Liu Biao and others!

After they killed Liu Biao and the others, they gathered all their forces and turned around to deal with us and the others!

arrive

At that time, they wanted cavalry and cavalry, and they would surely be able to defeat us easily! So ......"

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and before Li Ru finished speaking, he touched his bearded chin and said, "So the news that the spy found out about him is likely to be true, Cao Cao really secretly sent the army out of the city?" ”

"That's right!" Li Ru nodded firmly and said, "Ninety percent of this news is true!" ”

"Hahaha......" Dong Zhuo immediately laughed and said after hearing Li Ru's words: "Then what am I waiting for?" Why don't you hurry up and attack when there are not many people in Chang'an City?! ”

"No!" After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he immediately shook his head and dissuaded: "Lord, although it is indeed a great opportunity now, we must not be in a hurry!"

The enemy has only sent out more than 20,000 people, and if we attack now, the enemy is likely to change its goal and continue to encircle and suppress us.

Therefore, it is not too late for us to wait until the enemy sends most of the army in the city to Luoyang.

Besides, all this is just the speculation of subordinates, and it is not yet certain.

I'll wait a few days and see how they react after they transfer all the troops.

If they keep calm and pretend that there are still more than 100,000 troops in the city, it proves that they have indeed changed their goals, but ......"

Speaking of this, Li Ru's eyes narrowed, looked in the direction of Chang'an City, and continued: "But if they deliberately reveal the news that there are only twenty or thirty thousand horses in the city, then it proves - this is a trap!" ”

"Trap!" After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he thought for a while and asked confusedly, "Can it still be a trap?" ”

"Of course!" After Li Ru nodded solemnly, he said, "After all, compared to Liu Biao, defeating us is Cao Cao's best choice.

Because as long as we are defeated, then Cao Cao's northwest direction will no longer have any worries!

Then they can concentrate on dealing with the enemies in the south!

And if you want to defeat us, you must lure us to attack the city, because in the field battle, our cavalry has too much advantage, they have no certainty of victory, only we and others attack Chang'an, they still have a chance to win.

So, it's very likely that this is a trap to lure us into attacking the city! ”

Li Ru is also a smart person, and after hearing the secret agent's report, he immediately became suspicious!

Although there is only a small amount of suspicion, Li Ru does not dare to be negligent!

After all, this matter is a matter of life and death for them, and if one is not careful, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover, and he has to be cautious!

"Hiss......" Dong Zhuo rubbed his forehead vigorously after listening to Li Ru's words, and said distressedly: "How can it be these messy schemes?!" Can't you just have a good fight? ”

For Dong Zhuo, who was born as a military general, a war is a war, whoever has more soldiers and horses, and whose soldiers and horses are elite, will have an advantage!

What a pleasure? Why do you have to convey all this nonsense?! That's so annoying.

Dong Zhuo, who hadn't figured out the reason for the matter for a long time, waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, our family doesn't care, Wen You, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

This is Dong Zhuo's consistent behavior, since he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, just hand over the matter to Li Ru, anyway, Li Ru can always handle things well.
