"Yes!" The scout replied excitedly.

"If you can take Juye City, you will be the first to work." Ling Yan smiled slightly.

The scout said happily: "Thank you, General Yan!" I'll go back and pay off! ”

Ling Yan nodded slightly.

After the scouts left, Lu Gong immediately said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, then let's attack Juye City tonight?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "General Lu, don't you think it's a little suspicious when you look at that scout?" ”

Lu Gong frowned slightly: "Suspicious? I see him ......"

At this time, You Heng walked into the tent: "Brother Xian, I heard that you have caught the enemy spies?" ”

Ling Yan nodded, and told You Heng about the conversation just now.

After hearing this, You Heng frowned: "It is very likely that the scout is here to lure the enemy and lure us into being fooled...... Virtuous brother, don't be gullible. ”

Ling Yan smiled slightly, but it was Lu Gong, who looked at Ling Yan in surprise, his eyes full of admiration.

"Brother You, I also think there's something wrong with that scout," Ling Yan said with a smile, "How could someone as shrewd as Colonel Zuo let us catch a scout so easily." ”

"What is the plan of the virtuous brother to deal with Colonel Zuo's plan?" You Heng asked.

Ling Yan's smile gradually closed, he frowned, and his face was a little embarrassed: "This ...... I haven't thought of it yet. I don't know what kind of tricks that Colonel Zuo is playing......"

You Heng thought for a while: "Then the scout will definitely report truthfully to Colonel Zuo when he goes back, and Colonel Zuo will definitely set up an ambush, just wait for us to attack the city, and he will be able to attack back and forth." ”

Ling Yan was noncommittal, his face was heavy.

You Heng continued: "If this is the case, I have a plan: first send a group of soldiers and horses to feign an attack, and a large group of soldiers and horses will ambush behind, and when the enemy ambushes and kills them, our army will kill them all, and the battle can be won!" ”

Ling Yan nodded slowly: "Brother You, this plan is not bad, let me think about it carefully." ”

After You Heng withdrew, Lu Gong said: "Your general's plan is a very clever plan, if you use this plan, even if you can't catch Colonel Zuo, you can make those soldiers under him lose most of them!" ”

Ling Yan smiled lightly and quietly. On the surface, he did not refute the views of You Heng and Lu Gong, but he had already made a judgment in his heart - You Heng's plan would not work. As for the reason, Ling Yan easily thought of it: You Heng's strategy is considered the best strategy in the Three Kingdoms, it is a very clever strategy, at least two links are deducted - letting the enemy scouts go back to report the false letter is the first link, and under the premise of the false letter, deliberately sending a small part of the troops to feint is the second ring, and those who use this kind of strategy in the Three Kingdoms will succeed seven or eight times out of ten, and those who offer this kind of strategy must also be clever people. But this strategy may work for others, but for a shrewd and quick-witted man like Colonel Zuo, it will not succeed 100 percent, at the very least, Colonel Zuo will certainly not believe that the scouts can successfully deceive the enemy, he will definitely guess that this is a ploy; Moreover, with his wisdom, he should also think that the enemy army could see at a glance that the scout was transmitting false information, and made corresponding counter-plans, so the feint attack this kind of strategy, Colonel Zuo must have been able to anticipate it, and since he could expect it, he must have done a countermeasure.

Ling Yan knew that it was difficult for him to calculate the left school, so even if he expected that the left school could think of everything, he didn't dare to send two troops and horses to make a feint attack one after another, he didn't know what kind of response the left school would do—this was the most fatal, the person who knew things like a god in the left school, and the response measures made by the left school must be extremely thorough.

Seeing that Ling Yan was silent, Lu Gong was a little puzzled: "General Yan...... What's wrong? Doesn't this work? ”

Ling Yan sighed: "General Lu, the plan is a good plan, but ...... That Zuo Colonel is not an ordinary person, this trick can deceive others, but it definitely can't fool him, and it is easy to fall into his ambush, so ...... Absolutely no carelessness. ”

Lu Gong was a little unconvinced: "General Yan, is he so powerful!" It's as if anything can be calculated. ”

Ling Yan had absolutely no doubt about this, he thought that what Lu Gong said was definitely not an exaggeration, he had already learned the power of the left school.

Seeing Ling Yan's worried expression, Lu Gong was a little anxious: "General Yan, if this plan doesn't work, then how should we deal with it?" ”

Ling Yan frowned: "This...... Let's see again...... Or, let's not move, just wait and see, but see what the left school can do. ”

Lu Gong looked very unconvinced: "General Yan, this is a good opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to break through the city in the future!" ”

Ling Yan still shook his head, he really didn't dare to attack Juye City, he knew that Colonel Zuo would definitely arrange it tightly.

After that, You Heng and the others came to discuss with Ling Yan again, although You Heng and the others also had concerns, but they still advocated seizing this opportunity, but Ling Yan thought about it, and decided not to move - he was really a little afraid of Colonel Zuo's plan.

Although there was no action, Ling Yan still ordered people to closely probe the movements of the enemy army that night, for fear that Colonel Zuo would deploy soldiers and horses to rob the village.

However, the night passed, but there was no incident, and no enemy troops came to loot the village, and the soldiers who went to investigate also reported that there was no abnormal movement in Juye Castle.

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this report, and then he smiled bitterly—he actually felt that being safe and sound was the best result now.

However, Ling Yan felt that since Colonel Zuo's plan failed this time, he would definitely not be reconciled and would send someone again.

Sure enough, this time Ling Yan was right.

Within a few days, the scouting soldiers sent out by Ling Yan happened to catch another scout of the Yellow Turban Army.

The soldier escorted the scout to Ling Yan's tent, and Ling Yan said sharply to the scout: "Say! What did the left school send you to do! ”

The scout looked very timid, and was scolded by Ling Yanyi, and trembled with fright: "General Zuo sent me...... Investigation of military intelligence ......"

"And then?" Ling Yan asked coldly.

The scout said in a trembling voice, "And then ...... Then ......"

"Say!" Lu Gong shouted loudly.

The scout was startled again, swallowed his saliva, and said, "General Zuo...... I'm going to rob ...... village."

Ling Yan snorted coldly: "When?" ”

The scout said tremblingly: "Tomorrow night......"

Ling Yan stared at the scout: "Really? ”

The scout hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't dare to deceive the general!" All of what I said is true! ”

Lu Gong said sharply: "If you dare to deceive General Yan, I will behead you!" ”

"Don't dare...... Don't dare to ......" The detective's voice became smaller and smaller, and it sounded more and more empty.

"Okay, I'll take you into custody for the time being, if you really didn't lie to me, I will definitely reward you," Ling Yan said with a smile, "However, if Colonel Zuo doesn't come tomorrow, I will kill you immediately!" ”

The scout seemed to have a spasm all over, and then was about to say something, but Ling Yan didn't wait for the scout to speak again, so he waved his hand and ordered someone to escort him out.

After the soldier was escorted out of the tent, Ling Yan smiled at Gong Lu and said, "General Lu, do you think what the soldier said is true or false?" ”

Lu Gong thought about it, and his tone was very uncertain: "Uh...... The last general thinks ...... There seems to be a fraud in it......"

Ling Yan thought about it, he definitely agreed with Lu Gong's point of view, and in the story of the Three Kingdoms, this kind of trick is still very common, but Ling Yan feels very unsteady in his heart, maybe it is the uneasy feeling of facing a powerful opponent like Zuo Xiao.

"General Yan," Lu Gong saw Ling Yan's worried expression, and said, "It's the plan of the thief army, as long as we set up an ambush on all sides, and only use a small group of soldiers and horses to feign to stay in the camp, we will definitely be able to attack it unprepared and win a complete victory!" ”

Ling Yan nodded thoughtfully: "Whether it's fraud or truth this time, we must be fully prepared, once Colonel Zuo really comes to sneak attack, we must let them have no return!" ”

Ten minutes later, Ling Yan summoned all the civil and military generals to come to the tent to discuss the military information he had discovered this time.

Most of the people thought that what the enemy scout said was a ploy of the left colonel, and only one or two generals thought that the scout was telling the truth.

Ling Yan naturally thought that it was Colonel Zuo's plan, but how he wanted to implement his plan, Ling Yan didn't dare to guess at all - after all, Colonel Zuo was not like an ordinary person.

The generals discussed for a long time, but Ling Yan just looked at it with no expression and barely said anything.

At this time, Zuo Ci, who had never made a sound, couldn't help it, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "General Yan...... In a certain opinion, this must be the strategy of Colonel Zuo, and this is also the best fighter to defeat the enemy...... Not to mention the general's injuries...... Getting worse...... The medicinal materials for healing wounds are becoming scarce, and if there is no substitute, I am afraid that the general will ......."

Ling Yan's brows furrowed, and all the generals stopped talking, waiting for Ling Yan's decision.

A few minutes later, Ling Yan seemed to have finally made a decision in his heart, and he seemed to have announced his decision immediately, but what he said didn't seem to be a decision. He coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said: "This time to fight the thief, I didn't expect to be blocked here in Juye City for so long, I also want to break through the city as soon as possible, but Zuo Xiao is both wise and brave, it is indeed extremely difficult to defeat him...... Although I can be sure that what the scout said this time is a plan, I am not sure how to resolve this plan, and I ask the generals to offer suggestions. ”

Lu Gong immediately screamed his voice and said his previous opinion again: "We are outside the camp, and we have set up a heavy ambush, so that he will not come back!" ”

The generals didn't speak, and the generals all looked embarrassed.

After Ling Yan finished speaking, seeing that no one had published, he looked at Kuai Liang, his eyes full of anticipation.

Kuai Liang stood up and said, "If Colonel Zuo comes to rob the village tomorrow night, he must be prepared, and we can't respond in a hurry...... General Lu's plan, of course, is a good plan, but the left colonel and this thief must have expected that we will have ambushes, if so, I am afraid that we will not be able to do so, and we are not strong enough, if the front, middle and rear three villages all send troops to ambush, they will definitely not be able to prevent it, if the enemy army will surround my ambush on several sides, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses will be occupied by the enemy. ”

Ling Yan nodded, agreeing with Kuai Liang's opinion.

However, Lu Gong seemed to feel that his plan was criticized by Kuai Liang, and he was a little angry for a while, so he said a little angrily: "Since this plan doesn't work, what good plan does General Kuai have?" ”

Kuai Liang thought for a moment: "It's better for us to determine which camp the enemy is coming to attack, and then study the plan to break the enemy." ”

Lu Gong still didn't lose his temper: "Then according to General Kuai's intentions, which camp will Zuo Colonel rob?" ”

Kuai Liang thought for a while: "According to my judgment, Zuo Colonel will sneak attack our backyard. ”

Most of the generals had a look of confusion and distrust on their faces.

Lu Gong was very unconvinced: "How did General Kuai know that Colonel Zuo would attack Houzhai?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "Zuo Colonel is cunning, attacking the front village and the middle village, he will think that we will be heavily guarded, and the back village will be slack because of the soldiers and horses, the defenders will be slack, so they will start from the back village...... What's more, when the two armies are fighting, it is important to cut off the enemy's rear route, and if he cuts off our rear village, it will definitely shake the heart of our army, and he should gladly do what kills two birds with one stone. ”

Lu Gong looked still unconvinced, but he couldn't find a word to refute it, so he stopped his mouth angrily.

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, there was a sound of discussion at the bottom of the stairs, but most of the generals seemed to agree with Kuai Liang's opinion.

Ling Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Kuai Liang said was still reasonable, so he couldn't help but nodded: "General Kuai's words are very reasonable...... If so, then ...... We just need to keep our troops in the back village? ”

Kuai Liang groaned: "The subordinates are foolish, the general has to think carefully, the left colonel's strategy is insidious, and his subordinates may not be able to guess the thief's thoughts." ”

Ling Yan thought to himself, if even Kuai Liang couldn't guess Colonel Zuo's strategy, then he wouldn't even want to crack Colonel Zuo's strategy.

At this time, Wen Ping stood up and asked hesitantly: "General Kuai, if you are the left colonel...... Attack my camp in three ways, that ...... What should I do......

Kuai Liang said: "In the foolish opinion of Liang, the left colonel is insufficient, in addition to a part of the city, there must be an ambush, and the rest of the troops are definitely not enough to divide the troops to attack Sanzhai together." ”

Wen Ping and the others nodded one after another, agreeing with Kuai Liang's thoughts.

Ling Yan thought about it and looked at Yang Feng: "General Yang, how did you pick up in Qianzhai?" ”

Yang Feng replied: "The former village has been rebuilt, please rest assured general." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, but just in case, General Yang should return to Qianzhai and step up the arrangement." ”

Yang Feng hugged his fists and said: "Yes!" The subordinates will go back immediately and step up the deployment! ”

Ling Yan let out an "um" and glanced at Zuo Ci, but saw that Zuo Ci's expression was slightly hesitant.

Ling Yan beat a drum in his heart, and said to everyone: "Everyone go down first, the national teacher and General Kuai stay for a while." ”

"Yes." The generals clenched their fists and withdrew from the tent.

"I don't know what else the general commands." After the other generals left, Kuai Liang asked Ling Yan.

Ling Yan hesitated and said, "I still want to discuss the strategy just now with the two generals. ”

"What other concerns does General Mo Feiyan have?" Kuai Liang was a little puzzled.

Ling Yan frowned slightly and looked at Zuo Ci: "National Teacher, look, is that strategy feasible?" ”

After a slight pause, Zuo Ci said, "The plan that General Yan and General Kuai thought should be feasible......

Ling Yan observed the change in Zuo Ci's face and asked, "I saw that the national teacher's expression was not normal just now, did the national teacher have something to say?" ”

Zuo Ci's expression looked a little hesitant.

Kuai Liang said to Zuo Ci: "What is the opinion of the national teacher, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Zuo Ci nodded and said, "The plan of the two generals is indeed a good plan, but I am worried that Colonel Zuo will be fooled......"

Ling Yan heard what Zuo Ci said, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then since the national teacher is good at observing the heavens, I wonder if you can see Zuo Ci's movements this time?" ”

Zuo Ci nodded and sighed slightly: "I did observe the celestial phenomena last night...... The celestial phenomena show that Zuo Xiao did make a move this time, but he looked at the celestial phenomena and calculated that this time was not ordinary, but he couldn't calculate what it was...... Just now I heard that the general and the generals were discussing strategies, and I remembered the feeling of last night, so I was worried......"

Ling Yan was slightly taken aback: "What does the national teacher mean...... Will the left school be counted? ”

Zuo Ci looked a little embarrassed: "I don't dare to assert it...... But this time, in a certain opinion, it is unusual. ”

What Zuo Ci said was very vague, which made people not very incomprehensible, so after Kuai Liang listened, his face only showed hesitation and incomprehension, but he didn't say anything.

Ling Yan didn't fully understand Zuo Ci's words, but he speculated that the result of Zuo Ci's observation of the celestial phenomena was to imply that Zuo Colonel had advanced calculations this time, and his plan had already been seen through by Zuo Colonel.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan unconsciously "tsk" and shook his head—half of the meaning of shaking his head was because Zuo Ci's words just now made him lose confidence in the plan he had come up with before; Half of it was a headache How did he just go on a trip to defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves, and he encountered such a difficult opponent as Colonel Zuo.

Zuo Ci didn't understand what Ling Yan meant by shaking his head, and thought that Ling Yan didn't care about what he said, so he hurriedly said: "General Yan, a certain is just a calculation, and the general doesn't have to pay attention to it." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "National Teacher, I definitely didn't mean this, please don't misunderstand...... I just felt annoyed, I was thinking, how could that Zuo Colonel be so powerful? So accurate? ”

Kuai Liang continued: "General Yan, as far as I know, the Yellow Turban Thief Army relies on, except for the three brothers Zhang Jiao, are the 'Quartet Divine Generals' and 'Divine Envoys', and those who can be given such a name are naturally more difficult. ”

Zuo Ci also said: "I heard that the 'divine envoy' has been killed by the general, so it can be seen that the general is powerful, and the Colonel Zuo is only temporarily proud, so there is no need to worry." ”

Ling Yan heard that their words were comforting and flattering, but he didn't have the leisure to enjoy them now, he only smiled for a while, and then asked Zuo Ci again: "National Teacher, I was defeated in the hands of Colonel Zuo one after another before, and the vitality of the army was greatly damaged...... I don't even know if my life can be saved......"

Zuo Ci hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, general, don't lose faith." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "I haven't lost confidence...... It's just that when I was discussing just now, seeing that the national teacher's face was different, did the national teacher have any concerns that he didn't want to say? If there is, I hope that the national teacher can not be stingy to say it, it is a ...... Do me a favor......"

Zuo Ci's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Why did the general say this?" I can't afford it! It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's just that this matter is very important, and he doesn't dare to speculate on it, in case the military situation is delayed, the death penalty is a small matter, and the general's loss is great. ”

Ling Yan smiled indifferently, his face looked a little tired: "Just say what the national teacher wants...... It was because of my arrogance that I was defeated again and again...... Don't worry, no matter what the final result is, it's not your responsibility. ”

Kuai Liang also persuaded: "The national teacher doesn't have to worry, General Yan will never embarrass the national teacher." ”

Zuo Ci sighed and said, "Then so-and-so said...... Last night's celestial phenomenon, although a certain could not see through the mystery, but also vaguely felt that there was a change. Listening to General Yan's discussion with the generals today, I felt faintly uneasy...... A bold guess is that Colonel Zuo may have already anticipated the general's plan......"

Ling Yan frowned: "Oh? The national teacher means that Colonel Zuo expected that I would be ambushed in Houzhai with heavy troops, so he ...... He won't rob the village at all? ”

Zuo Ci nodded: "A certain speculation is so." ”
