Chapter 256: Digging a pit and waiting for you to jump

When Ao Lie said that Fu Luo was going to kill Hu Chuquan, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu both showed a knowing smile. Although they are wise, they are by no means to the point of foresight, and the news sent by the Shadow Members to Ao Lie makes the two see the dawn of breaking the enemy.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Lord, if this is the case, it will be easy to break the Huns." The Art of War: The in-between, make the enemy suspicious of each other. Hu Chuquan served as the king of Zuo Xian for more than ten years, and his tribe under his governance, the population has surged, and the combat effectiveness has been rising, which shows that Hu Chuquan is not a mediocre person, and he must have guessed Yu Fuluo's intentions, and there is still dissatisfaction in his heart, but because of the general righteousness, he can't shirk it. If our army simply loses a few battles to Huchuquan, and then withdraws from the desert. ”

Xu Shu said: "The so-called rapid attack is combined strength, and slow attack is phased, and its momentum is also." If our army is defeated by one of them and withdraws from the desert, and these two people will inevitably conspire with each other, then our army will spare Mingzhou, turn into the central area of the desert, and when the two of them are inextricably fought, take advantage of the chaos to kill, then a battle can be decided. ”

Ao Lie silently deduced Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu's plan in his heart, thinking that it was very feasible, even if the most unfortunate failed to achieve the expected goal, Ao Lie's army had no loss, at most it was just to take some more unjust roads. He immediately agreed to the plan of the two and ordered the two to rush to work out a specific battle plan overnight.

The next day, when Ao Lie ascended to the tent, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu stood in the big tent with two big black circles under their eyes. Last night. The two of them hardly had much rest, and worked out a battle plan to deceive and lure the enemy overnight, and after a little rest, they gave it to Ao Lie, who immediately ordered the account to be raised after seeing the specific strategy, so that while the other generals were full of energy, the two were a little sluggish.

After all the generals came to the big tent, Ao Lie unexpectedly handed over the command to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, the battle plan was formulated by you and Yuan Zhi. Your hearts know best. It's up to you to deploy your troops this time. When Ao Lie saw Zhuge Liang, who was a little sluggish, his heart suddenly moved, and he had this idea temporarily.

In the records of history, Zhuge Liang no matter when and where. There has never been a malaise. Because Zhuge Liang in history held all the military and political power of Shu. This heavy burden forced Zhuge Liang to maintain a high degree of concentration at all times, lest he make a slight mistake because of himself. buried the great rivers and mountains of Shu.

However, now, Zhuge Liang has shown a sluggish phenomenon, what does this mean? It shows that Zhuge Liang has not subconsciously regarded himself as the mainstay who can stabilize the country, and there are still some slackness. The reason for Zhuge Liang's this, one is that there are too many talents under Ao Lie's command, whether it is the military government or the government government, they can be called the leaders of the moment, this phenomenon of talent abundance makes Zhuge Liang unconsciously have a sense of security, thinking that even if he is slack for a while, there will be other colleagues to fill in his own shortcomings; Another reason is that Ao Lie is too strong, he has captured all the military and political power under his rule into his own hands, every time there is a major event, the person who makes the most decision will definitely be Ao Lie, and the current Ao Lie is equivalent to playing the role of Zhuge Liang in history, restricting the real Zhuge Liang.

After suddenly realizing this, Ao Lie understood the importance of cultivating a successor. The successor is not something that everyone can do, but must have extraordinary talent and incomparable loyalty, as well as diligent professionalism. Zhuge Liang has been positioned by Ao Lie as the first strategist and the first capable minister, but Ao Lie did not give him enough space to display his talents. At this point, Ao Lie is far worse than Jia Xu, when Ao Lie put Zhuge Liang first as a civil official, Jia Xu asked and taught Zhuge Liang from the perspective of looking at his successor, and on Zhuge Liang's growth road, Jia Xu, a mentor and friend, gave Zhuge Liang a lot of help and encouragement.

After Ao Lie realized his mistakes all along, he would temporarily relinquish command to Zhuge Liang. The first strategist and the first capable minister are not said with their mouths, they must be tempered by practice before they can live up to their name. After hearing Ao Lie's words, Zhuge Liang's heart was shocked, and then he shook his spirits, and his sluggish expression was swept away, but it was replaced by a full of vigorous self-confidence. This is a phenomenon that Ao Lie is happy to see.

Taking two steps forward, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Thank you Lord for cultivating." Liang is disrespectful. Turning around, Zhuge Liang began his first order in a wise tone: "The generals listen to the order: General Ma Chao, you lead an army of 10,000, camp fifty miles away from the village, and intercept the Hun vanguard army Huchuquan Department, this time, you must not lead the elite of the tiger ben, only bring ordinary sergeants, in addition, you are limited to three days, lose five battles in a row, one less than one is considered a violation of the order!" ”

Ma Chao originally stepped forward excitedly to listen to the order, thinking that there was a tough battle to fight, but who would have expected that the order Zhuge Liang gave him would be to lose five battles in a row in three days! If Zhuge Liang hadn't proven his talent a long time ago, I'm afraid Ma Chao would have scolded him a long time ago, and at this moment, Ma Chao could only be dumbfounded in place.

After Zhuge Liang gave the first order, Ao Lie nodded secretly. Fraud, of course, the more like the better, among the generals who came with the army this time, most of them are people with a calm temperament, only Ma Chao is the temper of the vanguard, the ruthless character who does not want to die in the battle, the most unbearable pain of failure, even if he knows that it is a fraud, he will be yelled at angrily, thus leaving a preconceived impression on Hu Chuquan, thinking that Ma Chao is really defeated. On the other hand, Ma Chao's vanguard temper, Ao Lie is also quite a headache, Ma Chao is brave and fierce, and he is a rare enemy on the battlefield, his characteristic is the soul of the Tiger Army, and it is the basic premise of being invincible, but at the same time, this is also a major obstacle to Ma Chao's progress towards a famous general, Ma Chao can be a general, but he can't be a handsome, that is, he is limited by his temper. Zhuge Liang also has the intention to hone Ma Chao, so that he can gradually smooth out the edges and corners and become more calm.

Ignoring Ma Chao's somewhat sluggish look, Zhuge Liang continued to give the second order: "Wen Hou, I bother you to lead the three thousand dragon troops, pretend to be General Ma Chao's reinforcements, and after he has lost five battles in a row, take him back to the camp." "To Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang's tone is much more polite, after all, Lu Bu is Ao Lie's eldest brother, and Lu Bu is the only person under Ao Lie's command who has been officially crowned by the imperial court, and his status is very transcendent.

Lu Bu strode forward and said, "Take the order!" "Zhuge Liang gave orders instead of Ao Lie, although Zhuge Liang's official position was not as high as Lu Bu, but Lu Bu still gave his hand to take the order to show respect. At the same time, Lu Bu secretly touched Ma Chao with his elbow, causing Ma Chao to wake up in a stupor. Lu Bu reminded Ma Chao in a low voice: "Third brother, take the order." ”

These days, Ao Lie has been running around, fighting in the south and in the north, plus the second big marriage, so there is not much leisure time, and he is rarely able to meet with Lu Bu and Ma Chao alone in private occasions, but during this time, Ma Chao often goes to Lu Bu, while competing for drinking power, he also asks Lu Bu for some martial arts skills, so the friendship between Lu Bu and Ma Chao is more profound, and it also makes Ma Chao more and more admired his eldest brother Lu Bu, and his respect for Lu Bu is second only to Ao Lie.

After hearing Lu Bu's reminder, Ma Chao suddenly came back to his senses, although he was unwilling, he didn't want to openly violate the nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings of the army's order, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Ma Chao...... Commanded. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhuge Liang issued a third order: "General Tai Shici listened to the order, and you led 5,000 troops to ambush between Dazhai and General Ma Chao's military camp, and saw Wen Hou receiving General Ma Chao's return to Dazhai, and immediately stabbed out of the stab, Wen Hou and General Ma Chao can return to the army to cover up the killing at this moment, and within half an hour, you can let go and kill, but remember, as soon as half an hour arrives, immediately lead the army back to Dazhai." ”

Tai Shi Ci replied loudly: "No! ”

Zhuge Liang turned his gaze to Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and calmly said the last order: "Zhang Liao and Xu Huang will listen to the order, and the two of you will reorganize the military horses, pack up the weapons, grain and grass, and prepare for the strategic retreat of our army. ”

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, as famous generals in the world, have roughly guessed Zhuge Liang's intentions through Zhuge Liang's continuous orders, which is a strategy of arrogance, showing the enemy to be weak at the same time, but also to ensure the deterrence of the enemy, so that the enemy is not only satisfied with some small victories in front of him, but also full of fear of the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army in his heart. Presumably, Zhuge Liang still has a trick, but that's not what they can think of. Immediately, the two of them stood side by side and replied at the same time: "No! ”

In fact, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang only guessed half right, and after the arrogant plan, Zhuge Liang also had a counter-plan. Hu Chuquan must be dissatisfied with Fu Luo's personal vendetta, so when he led the 70,000 troops of his headquarters to resist the Han army, his mentality must not be too resolute, after all, he will not be stupid enough to make a wedding dress for Yu Fuluo.

Let Ma Chao defeat the five formations first, so that Hu Chuquan will despise the Han army from his heart, and at the same time, it can also stimulate his ambition, thinking that he can even defeat the Han army, let alone Yu Fuluo. As the battle deepened, Lu Bu and Tai Shici successively threw themselves into the battlefield, killing Hu Chuquan by surprise, while killing and injuring his subordinate soldiers, it could also effectively curb Hu Chuquan's strange thoughts about the Han army, so that he knew that once the Han army became serious, it was definitely not something he could resist. In this way, Hu Chuquan will hate Yu Fuluo even more for sending him to the front line as cannon fodder, coupled with the arrogant mentality brought about by Ma Chao's five consecutive defeats, Hu Chuquan is afraid that after learning that the Han army has withdrawn from the desert, Hu Chuquan will probably find Yu Fuluo soon and be unhappy with Yu Fuluo. At this time, when the Han army withdrew, the news that there was no food in the camp and only weapons must have reached Yu Fuluo's ears, misleading Yu Fuluo into thinking that the Han army was defeated because of the lack of food and grass, and he was unable to invade the desert in the short term, so he would temporarily put aside the threat of the Han army and turn to deal with Hu Chuquan, the brother of his compatriots.

This is the strategy set by Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, the strategy of the arrogant soldiers, the attack plan and the counter-plan are integrated, and the pit is dug and waiting for Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan to jump in. (To be continued......)
