The drums have been beating for three nights, and the pit has been dug for three days. Huang Zhong was very unhappy in his heart, he was fifty-one years old this year, and a fifty-one-year-old person was commanded by an eighteen-year-old child, which was not something to be happy about, coupled with Ma Hong's inaction today, Huang Zhong couldn't help it. Huang Zhong decided to meet Ma Hong, to see what medicine was sold in Ma Hong's wine gourd, and he held a wine gourd around his waist all day long, pretending to be profound.

But at this time, Ma Hong came with news. He said that the drum would be beaten differently tonight, and that troops would be allowed to send troops. Huang Zhonggang was very happy when he heard that troops were allowed to attack the city, but after listening to the words of the herald, his face sank again, what is this and what. Ma Hong actually said that every time he beat the drum, he would lead the troops to rush once, but don't go to the siege, rush to the city and retreat, not to mention whether the soldiers are tired or not, every time they run to the enemy's attack range to send some heads, and then retreat? What a child's play! Huang Zhong said to the herald with a black face that he was going to see Ma Hong, and at this time the guards came to report that Ma Hong was coming. Ma Hong actually came, Huang Zhong immediately walked out of the camp tent, asked Ma Hong to enter the account, and then arched his hand and said, "Strategist, please take a seat." ”

Ma Hong looked at Huang Zhong's expression, and asked him to take a seat, which was obviously to embarrass him, as a descendant, if he dared to take a seat, I am afraid that he would offend Huang Zhong, if Ma Hong did not go to the seat now, then Huang Zhong would definitely give him a look and then sit on the upper seat, which embarrassed Ma Hong on the spot. Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "Old General Huang, the kid has a good waist, just stand, old general, please sit." ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he said in his heart: This kid is not fooled, let me do it if he doesn't sit, and by the way, I am old.

Of course, Ma Hong has other meanings, it is different and ordinary in the barracks, if you always rely on the old and sell the old, you will sell it again in front of me, I want to see if you dare to sell it.

Do you dare to sell? Huang Zhong was a little entangled, if he showed Ma Hong's face now, he would naturally be comfortable on the surface, but he didn't know if he would be comfortable in the future.

Zhao Yun is not a person who talks much, he feels that there is nothing wrong with Ma Hong's plan, and in the past few days, he has heard Huang Zhong complain from time to time, if there is a contradiction between the military adviser and the general, and the chaos before the battle is made, this is not good, and Liu Bei has a high evaluation of Ma Hong, so Zhao Yun strictly follows Ma Hong's strategy, at this time Zhao Yun is not good to look at it anymore, so he came out and said: "Military advisor, this time, is there another strategy?" ”

Ma Hong saw Zhao Yun speak, and smiled at him slightly: "General Zilong is really a good eye, I can't talk about clever strategies, but I have some strategies, I came to talk to the two generals tonight, and see if the two generals think it is feasible?" ”

After Ma Hong finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Huang Zhong's arm, and then said with a smile: "Come on, come on, General Huang, sit down, the kid will tell you about the plan in his heart, General Huang has been fighting for many years, and he will definitely be able to hear whether the kid's plan is feasible?" ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was helped by Ma Hong to sit down on the side, and then Ma Hong asked Zhao Yun to sit down as well, Ma Hong pulled a cushion and sat cross-legged in front of the two casually. Then he motioned to Li Wu to hand the sand table model made by Ma Hong to Ma Hong. [The sand table is not invented by Ma Hong, as early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang made a prototype, and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also has a record of "gathering rice for the valley and pointing to the situation". 】

Ma Hong placed the sand table between the three of them, and Ma Hong's sand table was very well made, and the terrain around the city was very good. However, Huang Zhong was very stunned in his heart, this kid just said that his waist is good, so he doesn't need to sit, why is he sitting down now?

"Do the two generals think it's wrong to beat the drum below to send troops?" Ma Hong asked.

Huang Zhong felt that it was very inappropriate, but it seemed too reckless to say it directly to Ma Hong, Zhao Yun was a steady person, and he couldn't let this be said by Huang Zhong, so he rushed in front of Huang Zhong and said: "Military division, the last general thinks that the military division beats the drum at night and sends troops, but does not attack the city, and it is not in vain to consume soldiers, and it can't hurt the enemy a point?" ”

"What General Zilong said is extremely true." Then Ma Hong took a small wooden stick and drew two horizontal lines on the sand table, and then pointed to the area between the horizontal lines and said: "Beat the drum, when the army is sent to attack the city, the soldiers march into the two horizontal lines, which are within the range of the opponent's feather arrows, but outside the range of the rolling stones. The first time a soldier with a large shield rushed into the area, raising torches so that the enemy soldiers could see the number of people, and the second, third, and fourth times soldiers wearing large shields and thatched men entered the area, without raising torches, and arranged the scarecrows. After the charge, a small number of soldiers and horses can enter, waving flags and shouting, attracting enemy soldiers to shoot arrows. When the enemy is reluctant to shoot arrows, send more soldiers to make the enemy soldiers think that we are really going to attack the city. ”

"Arrange the scarecrow and let the enemy shoot arrows? I'm afraid what should the enemy do when they launch rockets? Once the rocket is fired, won't we know our plan? Huang Zhong asked puzzled.

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said: "After midnight (23 o'clock-1 o'clock), the fog is heavy, and the visibility is only three meters, the two generals can rest assured, if you are afraid that the enemy will shoot rockets and burn the scarecrow, you can moisten the scarecrow with water." ”

"It seems that the military advisor is as the lord said, extraordinary." Zhao Yun said secretly in his heart, and said: "The military advisor has a good strategy, and the last general will take the order." ”

Huang Zhong on the side listened to Ma Hong's plan, and couldn't find a mistake for a while, so he also nodded and said, "Huang Zhong takes the order." ”

Huang Zhong received the order, and the last general received the order. It sounds the same, but it is actually different, which reflects the attitude of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong towards Ma Hong. Ma Hong smiled slightly: "General Huang, you have been fighting for many years, and you have fought more battles than the bridge that the kid has walked, the kid only provides strategies, if there are any changes in the army, please judge it according to experience." ”

Huang Zhong nodded unceremoniously.

Ma Hong smiled secretly in his heart: Although the march and war are older and more experienced, it is not that the older you are, the more valuable you are, and you have to rely on your ability to do it, saying that the older you are, the more valuable you are, Ma Hong remembered his profession in his previous life, as a construction engineer, if you don't have a few gray hairs, what you say will not work very well, because in that industry, the gray-haired engineer is more valuable.

"General Zilong is also an experienced general, if there is anything that needs to be changed in the process of implementing the strategy, the general can make his own changes according to the situation at that time. But remember not to try to break through Chengqiang, what we actually do is to wait for Zhang Lu to reinforce, that is, to besiege the city and send reinforcements. Ma Hong finished patting Huang Zhong's ass, and turned to Zhao Yun with a cautious face.

Zhao Yun understood what Ma Hong meant, and arched his hands towards Ma Hong and saluted: "Don't worry, Zhao Yun will complete the task." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said: "There is a fog tonight, maybe tomorrow night, the fog will not be so thick, and when the time comes, we will change the plan." ”

"What's the plan?" Huang Zhong continued, he was very interested in Ma Hong's next plan.

"When the time comes, the first three times the drum will not be struck, and the troops will be sent again when the fourth drum is beaten. Moreover, when you hear the war drums of Ganning's army, send troops, and Ganning sends troops when he hears your war drums, but don't attack the city yet, can the two generals understand? Ma Hong asked.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "The last general understands." ”

Huang Zhong couldn't figure out what the purpose of this was for a while, but it sounded like it was a trick on the enemy, and Huang Zhong thought it was pretty good.

After Ma Hong explained the strategy to the two, he was escorted out of the camp by Li Yu.

After Ma Hong left, Zhao Yun said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang can understand, why does the military advisor want to attract the enemy to shoot arrows? ”

"That's it!" Huang Zhong stroked his beard and rolled his eyes, and said, "What if the enemy army doesn't shoot arrows?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Because the military advisor saw that those people also had bows in their hands, and the people were different from the soldiers, they had not received strict training, and they didn't even know how many steps an arrow could shoot. In the first battle, we would shoot arrows because of nervousness, so we would definitely receive a lot of arrows. ”

Huang Zhong sighed and stroked his beard slowly.
