Yuan No, Liu Ye was taking a break in the roadside tea shed.

After the army entered Pei County, village markets appeared on both sides of the official road, and occasionally there were tea sheds that provided tea for the peddlers and pawns to rest, although before the arrival of Yuan Jun, the owner of the tea shed had already run away, but the shed could not be taken away, and it was still left on the side of the official road, but it was just used to temporarily rest.

Through the straw curtain of the tea shed, looking at the endless stream of Yuan Junjia soldiers outside the window, Yuan Nuo's heart has always been surrounded by a layer of lingering worries, it seems that since stepping out of the primeval jungle of Shansang County, Yuan Nuo has begun to have such worries, and the closer to Zhuyi, this worry becomes more and more obvious.

Seeing Yuan Wei's sad look, Liu Ye asked, "Childe is worried again." ”

Yuan Wei nodded and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Liu Ye said: "However, the sentry cavalry reported that the Cao army of Peijun was already a great enemy, and the garrison of Zhuyi Water Village had also increased from less than 100 to 500 people, and the people who were originally scattered outside the city were also collected by Cao Jun into various county towns, and materials such as food and iron tools were also looted. ”

Yuan Wei said: "It is precisely because all of Cao Jun's reactions are reasonable, so I am even more worried. ”

Liu Ye was surprised, and said: "Childe's words, but I don't understand it, all Cao Jun's reactions are reasonable, why is Childe more worried?" ”

Yuan Wei said: "Ziyang has heard a sentence that if there is no flaw, it is the biggest flaw!" ”

"No flaw, is it the biggest flaw?" Liu Ye savored this sentence, but found it. That sounds ridiculous. In fact, it contains a very profound philosophy. Because when people do most things, they will not deliberately pursue all-encompassing, because the pursuit of all-encompassing costs too much, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In general, as long as the intent is basically implemented, it is fine.

For example, Cao Jun's reaction was that Yuan Jun did not even leave a pot or a grain of grain, and all the wells were filled, which is a bit excessive.

Because it comes at a significant cost.

It will take a lot more to recover afterwards.

If you just do it, you can basically achieve the clear field of the wall. The cost will be much less, and from the perspective of the effect alone, the basic realization of the solid wall is not much stronger than the perfect realization of the solid wall clearing, is it possible that with a few iron pots and a few stones of grain left, Yuan Jun will be able to get sufficient supplies? Apparently not.

But Cao Jun did whatever it took to make the strong wall clear and clear the field so beautiful, why?

There seems to be only one explanation, Cao Jun intended to make Yuan Jun more convinced that they were in the fortified Qingye!

Why did Cao Jun make Yuan Jun more convinced that they were in the wilderness? Jianbi Qingye is Jianbi Qingye, and it can be deliberately made more perfect, so that Yuan Jun is more convinced?

Think of this layer. Liu Ye's face changed in an instant!

At that moment, Liu Ye got up and said, "Childe, you mean to say." Cao Jun is actually luring the enemy deep in disguise, they want us to continue to go deep and go to Zhuyi? Will there be an ambush in Zhuyi? ”

Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "This is just my speculation, not necessarily the truth." ”

As soon as Yuan Wei's voice fell, a long howl of the sentry rider suddenly came from outside the tea shed: "Report ......"

Then a dusty Yuan Jun rode into the tea shed, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Childe, another Cao army has marched into Zhuyi, with a strength of about 500 people. ”

Yuan asked: "Is it the soldiers or the people who are coming?" ”

The sentry said, "All are armored, and they should be soldiers." ”

Liu Ye's expression froze when he heard this, and said: "Childe, counting the previous five hundred people, there are more than 1,000 Cao soldiers stationed in Zhuyi at present, but this battle is not easy to fight. ”

After Yuan Wei heard this, a pair of sword eyebrows frowned.

However, Yuan Wei was not worried that it would be more difficult to fight after Zhuyi's increase in troops, but he was more suspicious of fraud.

Cao Jun increased his troops to Zhuyi again and again, and on the surface, it seemed to be normal, and it also proved more and more that it was really possible to wade across the river from Zhuyi, but Yuan Wei always felt uneasy.

(Dividing Line)

Zhuyi, Cao Jun Water Village.

"Report, the advance of the Yuan army has passed the Tiger Pavilion, and it is less than twenty miles away from Zhuyi."

"Report, Yuan's army brigade has passed Daze, and it is less than fifty miles away from Zhuyi."

"Report, Yuan Jun's sentry rode about a dozen horses, and they have appeared on the periphery of my water village."

"Report ......"

Cao Jun's sentry rode like a stream of water to report the latest movements of Yuan Jun to Cao Ren and Guo Jia.

Cao Ren stared at the map and said to Guo Jia: "Military advisor, Yuan Wei Xiao'er will definitely die this time." ”

"Don't be careless." Guo Jia tucked the wool on his body, and said in a quiet voice, "Yuan is cunning and suspicious by nature, so you must not be careless until the last moment." ”

"Report ......" Another sentry came in to report, "Cavalry Captain Lu Qian led five hundred armor soldiers to help." ”

"Lu Qian?" Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then paused and said, "Oh, Miaocai has ruined our big thing now!" ”

Lu Qian is Xiahou Yuan's general, Xiahou Yuan's army is stationed in the area from Pei County to Xiang County, and the main force is stationed in Xiao County, which is only two hundred miles away from Zhuyi, Xiahou Yuan must have heard that the Yuan army may attack Zhuyi, so he ordered Lu Qian to lead five hundred soldiers to come to the rescue, but he didn't know that Zhuyi was just a bait for Cao's army.

"It's broken, it's broken." Cao Ren stomped his feet and said, "With the addition of Lu Qian's five hundred people, the garrison of Zhuyi will exceed a thousand, and Yuan Fu Xiao'er is only afraid that he will change his mind and no longer attack Zhuyi." ”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jia said indifferently, "Although Yuan Wei is cunning and wise, he is tenacious by nature, if he decides to attack Zhuyi, no matter whether Lu Qian's five hundred soldiers come or not, he will definitely come." ”

General Cao Ren said suspiciously: "Military advisor, won't Yuan be scared away?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head and said, "The general is too underestimated by Yuan." ”

"Really?" Cao Ren said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

(Dividing Line)

"Herald!" Yuan raised his head suddenly and instructed Ding Feng, "The whole army stops advancing and rests in place!" ”

Yuan No's military order was quickly conveyed, and the more than 2,000 cavalry troops who were marching forward along the official road immediately stopped, and then sat on the official road on the spot, resting and eating.

Not long after, Tai Shici, who served as a striker, also turned back.

"Childe." Before he could get off the horse, Tai Shici asked, "Why don't you go forward?" ”

"Hmm." Yuan Fu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's change the route and don't go to Zhuyi." ”

"Rerouted, don't you go to Zhuyi?" Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, and Liang Gang looked at each other.

Even Liu Ye was a little unsure of Yuan's thoughts, and asked: "Son, if we don't go to Zhuyi, where should we go?" Can't you change it? Xiapi is now Lu Bu's lair. ”

The eyes of the generals fell on Yuan No, waiting for Yuan No's next step.

Yuan Wei was silent, just pacing back and forth in the tea shed over and over again.

Once, twice, three times...... Half a quarter of an hour passed quickly, but Yuan Nuo never stopped, never saw Yuan Nuo speak, or never saw Yuan Nuo make up his mind.

Gan Ning, Liang Gangtai, and Shi Ci looked at each other again.

After a full two quarters of an hour, Yuan Ran suddenly stopped, Huo Ran looked up and said, "Let's turn around and go to Xuchang!" ”

"What?"

"Xuchang?"

"Go to Xuchang?"

"This, this ......"

Tai Shi Ci Gan Ning Liang Gang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Even Liu Ye couldn't believe his ears, go to Xuchang?

Liu Ye found that his throat became a little dry because of the shock, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a somewhat dry tone: "Son, there are five or six hundred miles from here to Xuchang, although there is no need to turn back and enter Runan County, but there is still more than half of Pei County and a whole Chen County in the middle, even if the rapid march takes ten days, and when we arrive in Xuchang, the people are sleepy and the horses are scarce, and the grain and grass are not continued, so what can we do?" ”

The generals of Gan Ning Taishi Ci also nodded one after another.

Even Zhou Cang, who has always been too lazy to use his brain, also thinks that Liu Ye is reasonable.

The reason is obvious, Chen County and Yingchuan County are Cao Cao's lair, Cao Cao has been operating there for many years, whether it is the people of Li Shu or the strong scholars, they obviously support Cao Cao, Yuan Jun went there and could not get support at all, with the only remaining rations of Yuan Jun, it was very reluctant to support Xuchang, what should I do later?

"You don't have to worry about that." Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Just go to Xuchang!" ”
