Thirty-one of the fifty people who got in were returned? Lu Zhe was a little crying and laughing when he heard the news, and felt that Sima Xin was worthy of being a Confucian, and as the commander of the first army, it was really a bit of a matter of arrogance to come to a "courtesy exchange".

If it was changed to the Wang clan or Zhang Han's army, it is estimated that all of them would be killed without mercy and then sent people to the enemy camp, but Sima Xin actually sent people back, isn't this a step closer to letting the enemy army better understand the layout of the Qin army's camp?

Several people who knew Lu Zhe's entire deployment looked at each other and all showed slightly more relaxed expressions, the commander of the Qin army only screened his identity and did not pay attention to who was rebelled, they knew that the first step before the war was successful.

However, compared to more than 100,000 people, it is not easy for less than 200 people to do something even if they want to, and they can only play a role in special periods.

Zhang Liang, who has been playing the role of an auditor, has been deepening his impression of Lu Zhe in the past few days, and from the fact that Lu Zhe can only have his current achievements at the age of 20, Zhang Liang can be regarded as not only that the time and place are favorable, but also that Lu Zhe's old and spicy methods that are not in line with his youth are also one of the important factors in his current achievements.

In Zhang Liang's observation, although Lu Zhe has some hesitation that ordinary people often make, once he decides to do something, he always deploys it from the overall situation, which shows that he has a strong sense of the overall situation, but he is a little rough in some details.

If you want to do great things, you must have enough big situation, watch and deploy the overall situation, even if there will be some ups and downs in the process, but it will not collapse immediately, so having enough control of the overall situation is the premise of success.

As a descendant of an aristocratic family who has been the prime minister of South Korea for generations, Zhang Liang can see that the collective under Lu Zhe has not yet been fully formed, at least there is a lack of a few resourceful people who can pick up the details and fill in the gaps. He can be sure of one thing, Lu Zhe's overall control can make this collective expand rapidly, and maybe it will continue to be strong, but those who have expanded to a certain level and are not proficient in details will definitely encounter bottlenecks, if Lu Zhe does not find the direction to break through the bottleneck. This force is the path to weakening and even perdition.

In short, Lu Zhe's command did lack sufficient talents, otherwise he would not have faced a situation where the Qin army might collapse completely once it went south.

Of course, Zhang Liang did not fully understand the situation that the three counties under Lu Zhe were facing now, what he knew was that Lu Zhe led his army north to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army in the south after a little hesitation, Xiang Liang led 150,000 troops to threaten Lujiang County, and once Huan Chu of Lujiang County leaned towards Xiang Liang, then Lu Zhe's rear would be in danger.

Combining the above two aspects, Zhang Liang made his own speculation from Lu Zhejun's army structure, but he guessed more from seeing less things. Perhaps, probably...... It's really only about going deep into the interior of a collective. Only by contacting its Supreme Commander can we understand the truth more directly?

When only Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Lu Zhe were left in the waiting account, Zhang Liang asked a question that felt abrupt but wanted to know: "Lu Hou, what is your ambition?" ”

Xiao He immediately pricked up his ears, and he was extremely curious about this question.

"I received a letter from Huan Chu, he told me that after half a month, he would not be able to resist the pressure and return to Xin Chu." Lu Zhe was not swaying him, "Therefore, I can only defeat the Qin army in front of me within half a month, and then wave the army to Lujiang County and Huan Chu to fight against Xiang Liang." ”

Zhang Liang and Xiao He could understand. They waited intently for Lu Zhe to continue.

"If the Qin army can't hold out, it will be difficult for me to break through the fight layer by layer...... In other words, even if it is broken, its strength will be greatly reduced. In that situation, it is not difficult for me to rely on victory to force Xiang Liang to retreat. Lu Zhe was silent when he said this, shook his head and didn't speak again for a long time.

Zhang Liang is doing his own deduction. The total number of Qin troops going south was 150,000, and now there are about 110,000 facing each other ten miles apart, and there are still 20,000 Qin troops on the front line of Shandu. About 30,000 of the 110,000 Qin troops in the confrontation were sick, so there were only 80,000 combat strength left. An army cannot be judged by its numbers alone. It is also necessary to make a judgment from the military spirit and morale, after the Qin army goes south, the combat strength is unfavorable, the morale will definitely be affected, and the military morale will also be unstable after the epidemic in the army. No matter how he deduces the Qin army, he will adopt the strategy of closing the camp and not leaving. Lu Zhe is not enough to break through within half a month without paying a heavy price with his current strength, so whether Lu Zhe will endure a heavy price, he can't rely on any basis to continue to make deductions.

In a hypothetical way, Zhang Liang assumed that Lu Zhe was willing to pay a heavy price to break through the Qin army camp, and then, as Lu Zhe said, relied on the victory of defeating the Qin army's southbound troops to force Xiang Liang to withdraw from Lujiang County, then for Lu Zhe, although he still controlled three counties, it was already a situation of great vitality, and he no longer had the previous momentum and sharpness, so it seemed that Lu Zhe did not gain anything from winning or losing in a battle with the southbound Qin army, and he would continue to face the threat of the new Chu Xiang clan.

Lu Zhe saw that Zhang Liang's face was constantly changing, and when he waited for Zhang Liang to look at it, he continued: "Presumably Mr. also knows the situation that Zhang Zhe will face next?" ”

Zhang Liang did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement, and probed: "Why has Lu Hou always been wary of the Xiang family, if it is ......?"

Xiao He spoke up, and he interrupted Zhang Liang's words, "The Xiang family has too many conspiracies and tricks, Huan Chu is an old minister of the Chu State, if he is not willing to be a minister in the same palace with him, let alone the lord of my family?" ”

"That ......" No matter what he thought, Zhang Liang felt that Lu Zhe was caught in a predicament that the Xiang family had woven a long time ago, but the persuasion that should have been needed was still needed: "Lu Hou may be too worried." This time, Lü Hou led the army to fight with the Qin army, the world will inevitably pay attention, if Lü Hou wins, the princes will inevitably celebrate, even if the Xiang family has a plan, it should be restrained by the attitude of the princes. ”

Lu Zhe smiled noncommittally, he looked at Xiao He a few more times, and was surprised but happy that Xiao He entered the role so quickly.

"Although the Qin State has lost some popular support due to forced labor and taxes in recent years, its national strength is still the strongest in the world. Now except for Lu Hou and Zhao Wangxie, who are fighting against Qin, the rest have their own abacus. Qi Wang Dan and Yan Wang Xia only cared about Guangyang County and gave Zhao Guochi perfunctory aid; The Xiang clan of Chu State did not raise troops to resist Qin, and forced Lu Hou, who was resisting Qin, to fight against Qin......" Zhang Liang's tone was very declining, "Such a situation is just another time when the world returns to Qin." ”

Lu Zhe felt that Zhang Liang did not regain the status quo of having nothing in South Korea to appear selfless, and people who really have a foundation, even if they know that they can survive by working together to resist Qin, but they are not willing to be damaged to their own interests, and it is out of the instinct of human mentality to become stronger if they can become stronger. Therefore, whether Qi Yan is intriguing and trying to aid Zhao State, or whether the Xiang clan of Chu State leads the army to meet the Qin army in Lu Zhe, no one can blame anyone from any aspect.

Things haven't come to an end yet, and who can guess what the ending will be? Lu Zhe actually didn't think that he would become a vassal of this princely competition, but there was no need to tell Zhang Liang much about this.

The next day, when the morning sun rose in the east, Lu Zhe, who had rested very late last night, was woken up by the wing flail, because the people sent by the communist lieutenant came.

This was the first time that Lu Zhe had received a report from the communist lieutenant in half a month, and when he learned that the communist lieutenant had captured Suixian and Huyang counties in Nanyang County, leaving 20,000 people to garrison Huyang and leading 60,000 troops southward, and now it was only thirty miles away from here, what he had been worried about finally did not come true.

The lieutenant had a calm personality and cautiously sent people to restore contact with the main force, and did not attack other counties in Nanyang without hesitation, nor did he directly attack Sima Xinhou's camp, but it was the safest way to hide thirty miles away.

"What we have to do now is to keep urging the rear to transport the equipment up," Lu Zhe wrote a letter to the lieutenant, while constantly thinking in his mind: "The other thing is to try every way to induce the Qin army to go out of the camp to fight." ”

The ballistae installed in Nanling City need to be transported, and some sword and shield carts, well galleys, horizontal hook carts and other equipment are also indispensable, otherwise the Qin army has been unable to shrink and lack equipment, and they can only confront each other or only attack regardless of casualties.

Whether the Qin army can go out of the camp or not depends on Sima Xin, Lu Zhe has some impressions of Sima Xin, and history's evaluation of Sima Xin is a capricious villain, and this kind of person often means that he will not be cautious and will not take risks lightly, that is to say, the probability of Sima Xin not being out of the camp is as high as eighty percent?

After eating the morning meal, Lu Zhe made the necessary preparations, and then sent 10,000 soldiers and a mixed army of guest troops to invite the battle.

In the face of the invitation of 10,000 people, the Qin army really did not have the desire to go out of the camp to fight, but the figures of the crossbowmen and the bed crossbows in the camp were highly vigilant, which made Lu Zhe, who was mentally prepared, still disappointed.

"Sending troops to travel ten miles away from the Qin army camp will definitely make it impossible for them to get in touch with the outside world." This is a necessary step to deal with the enemy army that is closed and does not fight, Lu Zhe is a pity that the Qin army has a camp near the river, which cannot cut off the water source of the Qin army, otherwise it will take a few days to force the Qin army out.

One day of invitation, two days of invitation, three days ......

The time agreed between Lu Zhe and Huan Chu was getting closer and closer, and he consulted with everyone, feeling that it would be unfavorable for him to continue like this, and the result of the discussion was to issue an order to the Gongwei, ordering the Gongwei to no longer hide, but to attack everywhere to cause a situation where Nanjun was full of beacons, so as to create a dilemma that Sima Xin had no way to retreat.

If the Qin army does not come out, there will be no point in ambushing the troops, on the other hand, it will also cause a waste of troops, and time will not be good for Lu Zhe's side. If Sima Xin knew that the back road was cut off or could not hold on, the lieutenant should have led the army to join the main force in three days at the latest, and then Lu Zhe could only withdraw his troops before the time agreed with Huan Chu, leaving enough troops to defend this line of defense in Yi County and Yan County according to the previous plan, and march into Lujiang County to support Huan Chu.

Adjusting the strategy again, all Lu Zhe can do is continue to wait, and whether Sima Xin can still calm down when the enemy army in front of him is cut off has become the key.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Zhe's deployment?"

"Lu Hou has finished what he can do, and the rest can only depend on the will of God."

Look at providence? (To be continued......)
