"Sand." A fallen leaf fell on Gu Nan's hat, making a slight sound, pressing down the hat slightly and invisibly.

Gu Nan opened his eyes under the hat, there was no sound in the camp, it should be that most of the people had not woken up yet, lying on both sides of the road or leaning against the trees with their eyes closed. In the distance, there were a few more soldiers on the night watch, drowsy.

The campfire had burned out, and a few sparks were flickering sporadically on the firewood, and the charred firewood was piled together in a light smoke that blew away.

There is a stench in the air, this is normal, it is always like this in the barracks. Soldiers, unlike generals, do not have a change of clothes and do not take off their armor for a long time. In the months since the battle, the number of times I have been able to clean my clothes and armor is only a handful, and the clothes that are padded to the armor have long since become black and smelly.

Cao Cao and the others sat around a bonfire and fell asleep, and they didn't seem to be sleeping very deeply.

Standing up and stretching, she didn't need to sleep and rest, but she really fell asleep yesterday.

A short walk down the camp, there is a mountain stream, and the clear water flows between the rocks, polishing the edges and corners of the rocks to a smooth finish. The flowing water is blocked by the rocks that stand in it, and it flows on both sides, and the flowing water is a little shimmering.

Squatting by the stream, Gu Nan reached into the stream, and a cold touch came from her fingertips, the mountain stream was cold in winter, but she didn't withdraw her hand, and let the water flow through her palm.

Holding a palm of water and applying it to his face, the sleepiness that had not yet woken up completely dispersed, Gu Nan sighed and sat down.

Cao Cao didn't choose the best policy, but he chose the next policy, which made her embarrassed. If you act according to the next policy, the odds of winning are high.

This time, if there are no variables, it is a losing situation. It has nothing to do with people, and in the art of war, the time, place, and people are not on their side.

Now that the princes are famous all over the world, it can be described as a mess, and the best time has passed. To lose the possibility of seeking help in the name of righteousness is to lose heaven.

The mountains and forests are chased for a long time, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and the roads are dangerous. After Luoyang, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a loss of land.

There are only more than 10,000 soldiers, and chasing several times the army is a lost peace.

No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning, and it is no wonder that Yuan Shao and others do not chase after it, Dong Zhuo gathered the army of Luoyang, and the military strength is better than that of the general army of the princes.

When there is a chance to win.

Gu Nan sat by the stream, plucked a blade of grass from between the bushes with his hand, and put it in his hand to play with.

There is no inevitability, there must be a variable.

And her strategy is to use a variable to cause a turmoil and steal one of the three potentials.

Looking at the blade of grass in his hand, Gu Nan casually put it to his mouth.

The lips took the leaf in his mouth, and a quiet sound blew out of his mouth, like a small song, like the song of birds in the mountains.

Gently and softly, and melodious away.

"Bang bang." The music faded away, and the sound of stroking palms came.

The leaves are removed from the mouth, and the meandering comes to an abrupt end.

"I have heard court music, and it is less than half the sound of Mr. Yiye."

Cao Cao stood behind Gu Nan with a smile on his face, tilting his ears slightly, as if he was still listening to the aftermath that had gone away.

"This is the joy of the fairy family, and a leaf can be sounded?"

Regarding Cao Cao's question, Gu Nan could only helplessly pretend that he didn't hear it, he really regarded her as an immortal heir.

Half-ringing, Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Sir, may you talk to Cao about that strategy, or is it another cloth bag?" ”

"Huh." Gu Nan shook his head and put the blade of grass on the ground, and turned to look at Cao Cao.

"More than 10,000 soldiers chase 100,000 troops, you are really crazy to chase after you."

"it's not crazy." Cao Cao smiled and turned his back on his hand.

"It's the madness of this world."

Gu Nan patted the dirt on the hem of his clothes and stood up: "This is a strategy, you can borrow a force to get a chance of winning." ”

······

"The rear army keeps up!"

The pace of the army in the forest quickened, marching quickly in the forest, and there were no more than a thousand people from the figures.

The armor of the army was Cao Cao's military headquarters, but only Cao Cao and Cao Hong were in front of the army, and the rest of the army and generals were gone.

A day ago.

"The terrain on the side of Xingyang is high and low, and there may be an ambush, but it is the only way to chase Dong Zhuo."

Gu Nan said with the map Cao Cao handed her.

"Yes, yesterday Yuan Rang talked about it with the same Cao, what does Mr. think is the best?"

Cao Cao frowned, if he couldn't pass Xingyang, let alone chase Dong Zhuojun.

"You can divide the army, divide into several shares, and cross the mountains on each road. Ordered to ride on the front side, explore and communicate, and try to avoid encountering battles. After passing through Xingyang, we will meet here. ”

The movement of the armies crossing the mountain is easy to spot, compared to the small groups that are much more hidden.

If there is really an ambush on the side of Xingyang, it is easy to avoid, and the military formation is small and easy to deploy, so it can be more flexible.

The deployment of the cavalry, first, can allow the news between the various departments to be transmitted, and second, it is impossible to discover the ambushed military formation first.

In the end, if you really have to fight, you can march in separate units to retain the maximum combat power.

After all, Cao Cao's army is not more than 10,000, and if Dong Zhuo is really ready to ambush the princes, the army under his command will not be less than tens of thousands, and the whole army has no chance of winning.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning is that if there is a force that is really entangled by Dong Zhuo's ambush, it can be abandoned.

Of course, these are the worst-case plans, and it is uncertain whether there is really an ambush army on the side of Xingyang.

"That's all there is to it." Cao Cao nodded heavily, if he wants to chase Dong Zhuo, he must pass through Xingyang.

"Also." Gu Nan looked at Cao Cao: "Meng De, I hope to get one, I hope it is the people in the army of the borrowed princes." ”

Cao Cao looked at Gu Nan puzzled, most of the time Mr. would not take the initiative to lead the army, but this time he didn't know why.

However, since Gu Nan said so, Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and still agreed: "Okay." ”

"General Xie."

Gu Nan sent the map to Cao Cao and pointed to the road after Xingyang on the map.

"After passing Xingyang, you should be able to catch up with Dong Zhuo here. We should borrow the strength, and we will be in Dong Zhuo's army. ”

"Dong Zhuo Junzhong?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that in addition to the army, there were many people in Dong Zhuo's army, and their number even exceeded the military department.

It was the people of Luoyang who Dong Zhuojun took away.

"Sir is ······ mean"

"Intercept the road with a fire from a broken wood, attack it from both sides, make the people panic and change, and then take advantage of the chaos to rescue the king, this is a chance of winning."

In the end, Cao Cao's army was divided into seven divisions, one for Cao Cao and Cao Hong, one for Xiahoudun and other generals, one for Gu Nan, and one for the branch army.

In the Xingyang forest, Gu Nan looked at the military array behind him and waved his hand.

"Xingxuanxiang Array."
