Chapter 36 - The Strategy of the Exhausted Army (II)

When Lu Xun ordered the army to camp on the spot for less than half an hour, Li Ju, who was hiding in the Shanyue rebel camp, had already learned the news from Wu Cai's mouth.

When Wu Cai learned from the mouths of his subordinates that Lu Xun and his party were in the village, he had a trace of thought in his heart, in his opinion, this was simply an opportunity given by God.

If you can firmly seize this opportunity, do you still need to be afraid of the purging of the officials and soldiers?

This is an opportunity to deter the Jiangdong Sun group, once it is completely destroyed, it will definitely arouse Sun Quan's jealousy, so he will not dare to easily send troops to clean it up again.

It's just that although he has a certain idea in his heart, if he is asked to do it, I am afraid that it is very likely to mess it up, at least he will not be able to completely annihilate the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, he had to find someone to plan well and make sure that no one was left behind.

And at this time, the only person who can give advice is Li Ju.

"Mr. Li, the other party is camping now, this is a great opportunity!"

Hearing Wu Cai's words, Li Ju's brows furrowed slightly, and then he muttered softly: "I'm actually camping!" ”

Li Ju knew that if he chose to attack Lu Xun now, he would definitely be able to get a lot of gains, and he was sure that even if Lu Xun was wary when arranging for the army to camp and rest, in this jungle, it was the territory of the people of Shanyue after all. Even if there are preparations, under their own planning, those preparations are only vain.

But why did he have to help the people of Shanyue to the end?

The scene of one side defeating the other is not what he wants to see, all he wants is to muddy the waters.

And now, it's time for him to get out of the way.

In that case, how could he continue to deal with Lu Xun!

Since Lu Xun and the others want to camp and rest and nourish their spirits, then let them rest.

Glancing at Wu Cai, who was full of excitement, Li Ju's heart let out a contemptuous sneer, but his face was impassive, and he said lightly: "You would say that this is a great opportunity, it's just ridiculous!" ”

"If you want to die, then go ahead!"

Li Ju's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring straight on Wu Cai's head, making his face extremely ugly.

Frowning tightly, Wu Cai said coldly: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't want to hear it?" Li Ju snorted disdainfully, "Then why are you coming to me!" ”

"Leader Wu, you must know that you have not been caught by the official army until now, but it is me, not anything else! Otherwise, believe it or not, now the officers and soldiers have already reached the gate of the camp! ”

Listening to Li Ju's words, Wu Cai took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, and saluted Li Ju: "I hope Mr. Li has some advice!" ”

"Don't dare to give advice, but do you think that since the other party dares to camp on the spot, won't he be prepared?" Li Ju glanced at Wu Cai, and said lightly, "You must know that if you want to go to an ambush, if there are more people, the other party will find out in advance, and if there are fewer people, you will be ambushed by the other party, do you think you still want to attack the other party now?" ”

"If you really bring someone to go, I'm afraid you won't even know how to die, after all, in terms of numbers, you don't have an advantage!"

"This is just a deliberate gesture made by the other party!"

Hearing Li Ju's words, Wu Cai couldn't help but be surprised, and his body trembled: "But...... If you ignore this, everything you have done up to this point will be in vain! ”

"In vain? Leader Wu, you're wrong! Li Ju chuckled lightly and said to Wu Cai, "At the beginning, our purpose was just to delay time and prepare ourselves more!" ”

"Now that we've done it, how can it be in vain!"

"At most, it just gives the other party a chance to restore morale, but does it matter?"

"If the other party wants to set up camp, set up camp, there is nothing to do now, the only thing you have to do is to prepare for the other party to attack the city tomorrow!"

Wu Cai heard Li Ju's words and couldn't help falling into silence.

After a long time, Wu Cai sighed lightly, bowed to Li Ju, and withdrew.

Mr. Lee...... I...... I see! ”

Looking at the back of Wu Cai's departure, Li Ju's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he murmured secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's an idiot, I believe it casually, and it's destined to be destroyed!" ”

"It's okay, it's time for me to get ready to get out of this place!"

……

Originally, Lu Xun had been wary of whether the Shanyue rebels would attack while he was camping, but after the camp was completed, nothing happened around the camp, which made Lu Xun's heart rest at all times.

At the same time, after a night's rest, the morale of the army was restored again.

Lu Xun knew that he had to rush to the camp of the Shanyue rebels as soon as possible while this morale was still there, and if he encountered another attack like yesterday, the morale that had been so hard to rise would be exhausted again.

Once the morale is gone, then this battle will not be easy to fight.

At the moment, taking advantage of the hazy sky, Lu Xun ordered the army to move forward quickly.

It was precisely because of this decision that Lu Xun and his party were discovered after marching all the way to the camp of the Shanyue rebels.

However, at this time, it was too late for the Shanyue rebels.

When Wu Cai learned from the mouths of his subordinates that the officers and soldiers were coming, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly ordered someone to find Li Ju, and he came to the camp.

Looking at the army not far away, seeing that this was the time to bury the pot and cook, Wu Cai's heart couldn't help but relax.

Since it is a pot to make rice, if you go out of the village now, you will definitely have unexpected gains.

It's just that he still wants to get Li Ju's approval, after all, he is also afraid that the other party will be ambushed.

However, after waiting for a long time, Li Ju still did not come, and the people who were ordered to look for him also came to reply, saying that there was no trace of Li Ju anywhere.

Where would Wu Cai know that Li Ju, who he was bent on finding, had already taken advantage of last night's night and secretly ran away.

Since he couldn't find anyone, Wu Cai's hands couldn't help but support the wooden fence of the camp, looking at the army not far away, and he had his own resolution in his heart.

No matter how brainless he is, he still knows a word.

That is, "the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will never come again".

Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at the people of Shanyue behind him, and Wu Cai said: "If Mr. Li is not there, then don't wait, now the officials and soldiers are burying pots and cooking outside, this is our chance, whether you live or die depends on this blow!" ”

"Tian Mao, you lead a team of people, take advantage of this opportunity to go out of the village and kill me!"

"When the other party is in chaos, I will lead the others to rush forward and completely wipe out this official army!"

Hearing Wu Cai's words, Tian Mao licked his lips and responded: "Don't worry, chief, I will definitely come back with the head of that dog official!" ”

After saying that, Tian Mao turned around and left.

In a moment's effort, the gate of the camp where the Shanyue rebels were located slowly opened, and Tian Mao rushed out with a hammer in his hand, followed by many Shanyue rebels.

Looking at the Shanyue rebels who were constantly coming, the army that was burying the pot to cook suddenly panicked, threw down the tools in their hands, and turned around and fled, their appearance was simply embarrassing.

When the people of Shanyue who stayed in the camp saw this scene, they couldn't help but applaud, and even Wu Cai's face showed a smile.

At the same time, Wu Cai also thought of what Li Ju said yesterday, and couldn't help but say with hatred in his heart: "What, just like this, you really shouldn't have listened to that guy's words yesterday, and you should really think that you are very powerful!" ”

"If you don't listen to that guy, you can't say that you have already defeated the other party yesterday, how can you wait until now!"

"If you can't find that guy, you can't find it, just so that he won't come out and point fingers again, and he won't be able to see his appearance for a long time!"

And Tian Mao, who rushed out, saw the army fleeing in the wilderness, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, brandished the hammer in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The officials and soldiers have fled, why don't you hurry up and catch up, let them see how powerful our people are in Shanyue!" ”

When the words fell, the Shanyue rebels who had been following behind them also howled, and in their eyes, the group of officers and soldiers in front of them was not a concern at all.

However, whether it was Wu Cai or Tian Mao, they were all confused by the sight of the army fleeing in the wilderness, and they did not notice that there was anything wrong with the number of the army.

……

In the jungle on the other side, Jiang Qin couldn't help frowning as he looked at the fleeing figure of the army and the Shanyue rebels getting closer and closer.

"Master, it's time for us to go!"

Lu Xun heard the words in his ears, his eyes narrowed and stared at the figure of the Shanyue rebels rushing to kill, and nodded.

"Pass the order, let everyone get ready, wait until the Shanyue rebels run into the jungle, immediately rush up and kill, and never let anyone go!"

"No!"

It turned out that all this was just an illusion made by Lu Xun.

The purpose of burying the pot and cooking is to let the Shanyue rebels think that they have a chance, so they can run out of the camp by themselves, and the illusion that everyone is fleeing in the wilderness is to lure the enemy deeper.

It's just a pity that the Shanyue rebels didn't rush out of the nest this time, otherwise, this battle would have ended at this moment.

However, he could not wait any longer, and if he continued to wait, the rebels of Shanyue would soon catch up with the bait he had set.

When Tian Mao led the people of Shanyue to rush into the jungle, Wu Cai on the camp was also a little impatient.

However, just as he was about to make a move, something changed.

Lu Xun saw that Tian Mao and the others had entered the ambush circle he had set up, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out the double swords at his waist, jumped up from the ground where he was lying on his stomach, and rushed straight towards Tian Mao and the others.

"Kill!"

As Lu Xun's words sounded, the people who were in ambush also revealed their figures, followed behind Lu Xun, and rushed forward.

And the army that had been fleeing also turned around at the same time and forced towards Tian Mao and the others.

They had already had enough of Tian Mao and the others' pursuit.

When the shouting sound sounded, Tian Mao was suddenly shocked in his heart, and the coldness on his face turned into panic.

Even Wu Cai, who was standing on top of the camp, was taken aback.

Looking at the army that suddenly rushed out, Wu Cai hurriedly ordered: "Quick, hurry up and close the gate of the wall, don't let the official army take this opportunity to rush in!" ”

"But Leader Wu, Commander Tian is still outside the Walled Gate!"

However, at this time, Wu Cai could still control Tian Mao, directly glared at the person who spoke out, and roared: "Bastard, I said to close the gate of the village for me quickly, where can I take care of him now!" ”

"If we let the officers and soldiers rush in, we will be the ones who will die!"

Hearing Wu Cai's words, the people of Shanyue also shuddered, and hurriedly answered, and ran down in a panic, closing the gate that had not yet been closed.

When Lu Xun rushed towards Tian Mao and others, he also kept an eye on the camp of the people of Shanyue, and when he saw this, he did not hesitate to close the gate of the village, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart.

However, this emotion is only fleeting.

His attention was now all on the elimination of the Shanyue rebels who had escaped.

You can't let the other party run away!

And the army that had been fleeing also turned around at the same time and forced towards Tian Mao and the others.

They had already had enough of Tian Mao and the others' pursuit.

When the shouting sound sounded, Tian Mao was suddenly shocked in his heart, and the coldness on his face turned into panic.

Even Wu Cai, who was standing on top of the camp, was taken aback.

Looking at the army that suddenly rushed out, Wu Cai hurriedly ordered: "Quick, hurry up and close the gate of the wall, don't let the official army take this opportunity to rush in!" ”

"But Leader Wu, Commander Tian is still outside the Walled Gate!"

However, at this time, Wu Cai could still control Tian Mao, directly glared at the person who spoke out, and roared: "Bastard, I said to close the gate of the village for me quickly, where can I take care of him now!" ”

"If we let the officers and soldiers rush in, we will be the ones who will die!"

Hearing Wu Cai's words, the people of Shanyue also shuddered, and hurriedly answered, and ran down in a panic, closing the gate that had not yet been closed.

When Lu Xun rushed towards Tian Mao and others, he also kept an eye on the camp of the people of Shanyue, and when he saw this, he did not hesitate to close the gate of the village, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart.

However, this emotion is only fleeting.

You can't let the other party run away!

You can't let the other party run away!
