"How?"

Lu Bu looked puzzled.

"I suspect that Dong Zhuo secretly transferred the Xiliang army!" Ding Xiao said with a little pale.

Although he has a wide range of secret agents in Beijing, and Wang Yun and other officials in the court as eyeliner, he has no monitoring of the Xiliang army in Chang'an.

He was worried that once the Xiliang army did not enter Luoyang, but made a detour to attack Hanoi directly, then his eyes in Beijing would not be aware at all.

And if the 200,000 Xiliang army suddenly joins the battle, the situation will immediately be reversed.

"Brother-in-law, we have to go back immediately!"

"Okay."

Lu Bu's expression was shocked, and he didn't dare to delay the time, so he immediately rode his horse and galloped.

Half an hour later, the two returned to Huai County, and immediately sent someone to find Ding Yuan and others, and Chen explained the reason.

"Ding family boy, you called us over in the middle of the night, just for this?"

Han Rong's face was strange, "We old men can't afford to be tossed by you like this. ”

In his opinion, Ding Xiao's statement is absolutely impossible, it is simply nonsense.

"The Xiliang army is coming to Hanoi? It can't be, right? ”

Zhang Liao asked a little nervously, "Our 90,000 horses have all gone up, if the Xiliang army really comes, and under the internal and external attacks of Huaxiong's department, we will definitely be defeated!" ”

"Major General, is your news accurate?"

Xu Huang's expression was also a little nervous, "I'm betting on 40,000 horses!" If the news is accurate, I suggest that we cancel the plan immediately and withdraw all the people. ”

"I haven't gotten any news, that's just my speculation."

Ding Xiao explained, "I invited you to come late at night to discuss with you the possibility of this matter. ”

"The old man thinks it's impossible at this time."

Cai Yong shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo sent the Xiliang Army to guard Chang'an, in order to leave a way back for himself, how could he make a desperate bet and send all the troops?" Besides, the transfer of the Xiliang Army is a major event, how could Dong Zhuo make such a hasty decision without consulting with the court? ”

"Teachers, seniors."

Ding Xiao hugged his fists and bowed, "Originally, I also thought that Dong Zhuo would not use the Xiliang Army, but the actual situation is that our merger state has developed too fast and too violently, and it has damaged Dong Zhuo several good things, and I am afraid that Dong Zhuo has been regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh." Think about it, if we change places, will we allow Dong Zhuo to continue to grow? ”

"You mean, Dong Thief wants to target us and make an example of us?" Chen Ji frowned.

"Not bad."

Ding Xiao nodded and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, the young general is too worried."

Lu Zhi said with a smile on the side, "Chang'an is hundreds of miles away from here, and even if the 200,000 Xiliang army travels day and night, it will never come so soon." So the likelihood of this happening is extremely low. Lu Zhi also said.

"If Li Ru had ordered the mobilization of the Xiliang Army when his brother-in-law abducted the Xiyuan Army last time, it would have been completely timely." Ding Xiao emphasized.

Hearing this, everyone's faces became solemn.

"Major General, you mentioned this Li Ru several times...... Could it be that he really has such wisdom? Chen Jiqi said.

In fact, this was the unanimous doubt of everyone present, thinking that Ding Xiao had exaggerated Li Ru's resourcefulness too much, which made Lu Zhi and others, who were also strategists, feel disgraced.

"Then Li Ruzhi is as close as a demon, you must guard against it."

Ding Xiao's face was pale and his expression was solemn, "Not only that, if the Xiliang army really comes this time, I'm afraid we will have to face another person who is even more powerful than Li Ru!" ”

"Oh? Who is it? Ding Yuanqi said.

"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!"

Ding Xiao took a deep breath and said, "This person is unparalleled in his resourcefulness, known as 'the plan must be successful'!" ”

"Humph! Major General, don't grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. A few of us old men work together, but we can't beat these two? Han Rong said unhappily.

"Not bad."

The old men were obviously a little unconvinced.

"Then juniors, may I ask you, if the Xiliang Army really comes this time, how should we deal with it?" Ding Xiao asked.

"If the Xiliang Army is really dispatched here, then the Huaxiong Department is the bait!"

Lu Zhi groaned, "According to what you said, if the Xiliang Army does not pass through Luoyang, then it is most likely to make a detour through Hedong County. ”

"Makes sense."

"What Lu Gong said is extremely true."

Among the old men, only Lu Zhi had the experience of leading troops, so everyone attached great importance to Lu Zhi's analysis, and after looking at the map, they nodded one after another.

"Gong Lu, do you think that the Xiliang army will divide into two ways in order to form a situation of encirclement against us." Ding Xiao asked.

"Probably not."

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "The Xiliang army is already working hard and has a huge target, if according to your speculation, if they want to hide people's eyes and ears and come secretly, they will definitely not divide the troops, so as not to leak the news and cause extraneous branches." ”

"I see."

After thinking for a while, Ding Xiao nodded and agreed with Lu Zhi's inference, then looked at the map and said, "If the Xiliang army invades Huai County from the east of the river, it will definitely pass through Yewang County. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to mark the "Yewang" on the map, then turned around and said with a solemn expression, "So, we must intercept it in Yewang County, otherwise, once they let their troops come to Huai County and complete the encirclement with the Huaxiong Ministry, then we can only retreat to the state." ”

"Yes, if the two armies are allowed to join forces inside and outside, it will not be the end of our encirclement and eating Huaxiong, but the end of being divided and eaten by the two armies." Lu Zhi nodded.

"Interception?"

Zhang Liao objected, "Now that we only have 30,000 horses, how can we intercept the 200,000 troops on the opposite side?" ”

"What if you don't stop?"

Lu Bu hurriedly said on the side, "We have everything arranged, do you want to give up this operation?" ”

"In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is the safest way to withdraw the men and horses first." Zhang Liaodao.

"I'm for it."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "It is not yet known whether Huaxiong's 50,000 horses can be successfully subdued, but our 120,000 horses cannot afford to miss the slightest. It's better to be safe, withdraw it first. ”

"I disagree!"

Lu Bu said angrily, "Then the Xiliang army is still talking about whether it will come or not, let's use 90,000 against 50,000, how can there be a reason to retreat without a fight?" ”

"In fact, 30,000 horses may not be able to stop the 200,000 army."

Han Rong suddenly spoke, "We only need to let 30,000 horses hold on to Yewang County for a day, and when Huaxiong's army is defeated, we can gather men and horses to reinforce Yewang, and then the big thing can be decided." ”

"Nope."

Gao Shun, who had been silent, said, "This plan is too risky!" If all 30,000 horses are sent to Yewang, then Huaixian will become an empty city, if there are enemy soldiers to attack, what can be done? ”

"Yes, if 30,000 horses come out of the nest, under the emptiness of Huai County in the rear, once there is a loss, the gain will outweigh the loss." Xu Huang answered.

"The two generals are right, Huaixian is the place where the Bingzhou army is stationed, and the families of all the generals are here. Zhang Liao nodded.

Ding Xiao naturally understood this truth, but he was unwilling to retreat, so he said, "Hanoi is a place of four wars, easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if we don't retreat this time, we will have to evacuate this place in the future." Father might as well take this opportunity to lead the generals to withdraw their families to the state with Gao Shun's eldest brother, so as to appease the hearts of the generals! In this way, everyone will no longer be afraid of their hands and feet, and they can cooperate with this plan to keep the Hua Xiongbu in Hanoi! ”

As soon as this plan came out, the eyes of the audience suddenly lit up, and they all nodded in approval.

"Since there is no objection from everyone, then the matter is decided."

After Ding Xiao made a decision on the spot, he immediately passed down several military orders.

"Brother Gao Shun, you lead the people of your headquarters and set off immediately, escorting the family members back to Changzi County."

"Brother Zhang Liao led 30,000 horses and horses to enter Yewang County with our troops."

"Brother Xu Huang will assist my brother-in-law as originally planned to take down the Huaxiong Department as soon as possible."

"No!"

The generals responded in unison.

"As for brother-in-law, Hua Xiong's head will be handed over to you." Ding Xiao finally looked at Lu Bu and grinned.

"Don't worry!"

Lu Bu smiled proudly, "As long as he dares to fight, I will kill him under the horse!" ”
