Guanzhong doesn't seem to have changed dramatically because of Li Shushi's "outing".

The Puppet Corps did not give up the temptation of the Merge State Army, and under the coordination and command of Fu Zhi, the Merge State Army also fought like a daily task.

It's just that according to the judgment of Fu Zhu, the enemy should have noticed the changes that have taken place within the Bingzhou Army, after all, there is no "heavyweight" figure like Li Shushi in charge, there is no Su Xiaololi to restore the body of those unscientific birds, and there is no Miss Luo He to communicate with those wolves that probably only she can communicate, even if the factor of the generals is put aside, although the Bingzhou Army can only fight separately, it will not leak too many flaws because it is in a defensive posture. But letting the enemy's brilliant commanders see the way can be said to have been expected by everyone from the very beginning.

The only thing that cannot be determined is what kind of response the other party has taken.

Considering the other party's excellent mobility ability, Li Shushi asked Su Xiaololi and Miss Luo He to carry out a coordinated "sweep" on the first day of returning to Guanzhong, but for the time being, the effect does not seem to be very good, and nothing has been found.

While such an outcome may be reassuring, no one will take it lightly.

Because their opponents are not only a group of excellent commanders with their own set of tactical concepts, but also a group of guys who do not refuse to learn new things, and the most important thing is that these puppets who have already suffered under the reconnaissance methods of the Bingzhou Army will definitely formulate some countermeasures, even if they don't know the role played by those animals in this regard, but Li Shushi is very skeptical that they should have learned that the reconnaissance system of the Bingzhou Army only exists here in the Central Army.

However, because judging from the results of the reconnaissance, the enemy showed no signs of leaving on a large scale, so the Bingzhou army only strengthened its vigilance at most, but did not take further action.

If the other party still thinks that the state army will make a small fight like before. If you try to be a little bit tempted and encroached on the puppets, it would be a big mistake, and the next attack will be a decisive battle between you and me.

Yes, even though Cao Cao's army may still need to rest for a while to digest the gains and pains from the previous battle, Li Shushi believes that this time will not be too long. In order to gain time, Li Shushi was mentally prepared to pay a large battle loss in the next war. Maybe this mentality is really a bit cold and cruel, but Li Shushi has to do this.

This is probably the so-called "mercy does not command the army", which is a necessary sacrifice for the realization of strategic goals...... There is still a need to pay.

Even under normal circumstances, Li Shushi is not a person who treats his subordinates as coldly as numbers, and if he can reduce the loss, he still hopes that more people will survive, but ......

Li Shushi could only silently offer his most sincere prayers in his heart for the soldiers who were about to die, and ensure that after their deaths, they would not only receive spiritual glory, but also their families would be properly cared for. Young sons can be raised and educated.

Nearly 30,000 troops were thrown into the battlefield in Guanzhong, but they did not cause too many ripples.

The war still seems to be as dull as ever, you come and go, but it doesn't seem like you can commit too many troops.

Whether it is the state army or the puppeteers, the defense system of the camp has become stronger and more aggressive in each battle, and they are obviously no longer satisfied with simple traps that can stop the enemy's advance, how to consume the enemy's living force is their primary concern.

In this regard, the state army once again set an example. And this time it was Jia Xu, who had always been ruthless in his planning, using two camps and nearly a thousand soldiers as bait, although the commander of the puppeteer regiment was cautious enough. However, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet known about the return of Li Shushi's corps, he used various arrangements to convince those commanders that they had successfully found a breakthrough - after all, the desperate resistance and desperate expressions of those soldiers were indeed not fake, and these abandoned outcasts may not understand their upcoming fate until the last moment.

Then the clay puppet corps covered by all kinds of feathered arrows and artillery fire felt the same feelings as the living people they had eliminated before, perhaps as clay puppets, they lacked delicate emotional changes, and even a high degree of organization and discipline made them not have the concept of collapse at all, as if it was the most perfect war machine. But even the most advanced fighters will fall. Sturdy tanks can be destroyed, huge and expensive ships will be sunk, and they will be nothing more than sturdy clay figurines.

Of course, the Puppeteers who are super capable of learning also plan to do the same, but because this exchange ratio does not completely make the Puppeteers make up their minds to release a bait that is enough to make the commander of the state army crazy. In addition, they chose Cao Ling, a very cunning guy, although Cao Ling didn't take advantage of it in the end, but he didn't suffer a loss.

However, all kinds of traps began to appear in the camps of the two sides closer to the front line of the battle, and because of this, the number of soldiers needed on the front line was further reduced, after all, no one wants to be shot through by their own crossbow arrows while yawning in the morning, or falling into a fire pit that can be ignited at any time.

And this also made most of the soldiers on both sides more laid-back.

The way for the puppet corps to pass this boring time is to go to Chang'an City to sneak around, anyway, as long as the puppet corps does not directly attack the city, now the people in Chang'an City have already adapted to the life of arrows and rain.

As for the Bingzhou Army, under the call of Li Shushi, it actively carried out the "large-scale military training" activity, and took this opportunity to let those soldiers of Yuan Shaojun better integrate into the new large collective of the Bingzhou Army.

Of course, it is also taking this opportunity to cover up the real plan of action of the state army.

They were two construction sites fifteen miles apart, and although each of them was still just a pile of building materials on the other side, it was not difficult for many people to guess what that construction site would become.

"Jing Di, what are you thinking? Do you know what's going to be built here? ”

"Ah, it's you. Hehe, although not 100% sure. However, there are also six or seven percent certainty. ”

The style between the Bingzhou Army and Yuan Shaojun is not quite the same, even if you only need to obey orders, but Gao Ran, who surrendered, still needs a certain amount of time to adapt, and as a "persuading" his friend Zhang Jaw is obviously the best person to carry out this task, although recently because of the joint exercises with the veterans of the Bingzhou Army, Gao Ran's work is very heavy, but as a senior officer, it is not too difficult to be lazy. It can also be called "exercising the ability of subordinates".

As a result, the relationship between the two former good friends has become special again because of the experience of that night, and such a busy horse gallop can be regarded as a way for men to exchange feelings.

However, it seems that there is a new common topic between the two people.

"Six or seven percent sure? That's high enough, and for me, it's just a pile of rocks and earth. ”

"Actually, I'm not much better, it's just that I had some similar experiences when I was crusading against Dong Thief."

Gao Ran's tone is not 100% certain, but in front of good friends, he always has to show his ability.

Naturally. His behavior received quite surprised and admiring glances from Zhang Jaw.

This makes Gao Ran feel very useful.

Even if it is a good friend, there will be invisible competition, although he lost to Zhang Jaw on the battlefield, but Gao Ran believes that with what he has seen and heard around a "big man" like Yuan Shao over the years, he can probably kill Zhang Jaw who has been nesting in the ravine all these years, and has probably transformed into a "soil bun".

Of course, Gao Ran will not say these words, he needs to prove himself with practical actions.

For example, now......

"I don't know, have you heard of the famous battle that took place in the Tiger Prison area of Henan when you were fighting Dong back then."

"At that time, we also paid close attention to the movements in Henan, although we had never experienced this war. However, the information gathered since then has been successfully recovered. It's just that some details are still unknown after all. ”

"So what do you think was impressive about that battle?" Gao Ran still looks like he's still selling.

"Hmm...... If there is a more impressive place, in addition to the brave expressions of the two sides, it should be regarded as the revolving gate that was punished by heaven, and the confrontation between the holy beasts...... Oh, and by the way, and that sudden downpour. I heard that it was not a natural celestial phenomenon, but a human being, and I don't know which one is more powerful compared to the snow around Chang'an City...... Wait, that heavy rain caused by manpower, could it be that you mean ......"

Seeing that Zhang Jaw actually guessed it himself. Gao Ran was also a little surprised, but he nodded in agreement, after all, this conjecture did coincide with him, should he be a good friend.

"That's right, although the person in charge of building the relevant altar back then was not me, but Yuan Fang, the eldest son of Yuan Benchu, but the person who managed the army to transport various materials was my brother and me. Although it is a mess now, the materials don't seem to be much different from the original, so although I am not 100% sure, I think it should be the same. ”

"Well, the news from Chang'an City before showed that those clay puppets did have a decrease in combat effectiveness on a wet and rainy day, but if I remember correctly, although it rained heavily from the very beginning of that battle, it didn't last long, just a few hours of torrential rain. If you want to deal with those clay puppets with this, I'm afraid you can't catch it. ”

"Haha, do we need to worry about that kind of thing? Anyway, it is not enough for us to execute the order after the order is issued from above, but the only hope is that this place will not be like Yuan Benchu's place, and it will be a headache to fight all day long. ”

Gao Ran seems to be very open-minded about Zhang Jaw's worries, or that his experience in Yuan Shaojun has made him develop the habit of saying less and doing more, and as a general who has just surrendered, it is estimated that Gao Ran is very conscious not to participate in those higher-level things, because that will only bring unnecessary trouble to himself.

Being a talent in a low-key manner is the only choice to live a long time, or to live more comfortably.

Although Zhang Jaw no longer needs to have similar worries as Gao Ran, he agrees with Gao Ran's thoughts, even if Li Shushi's trust in the generals under his command gives them perhaps more autonomy than elsewhere in many cases, it does not mean that there is much room for bargaining if there are orders from above.

The so-called autonomy is nothing more than the means that do not unduly limit your ability to accomplish tasks. and not whether you take on the task or not.

Naturally, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran would not have known that a similar conversation had been talked about at another construction site, and the level of the person who talked to them was far more than the two of them.

Well, it's Li Shushi and Cheng Yu, as well as the two women who suddenly ignited a strong spirit of confrontation again for some reason, and this time they were supposed to be at the top of the food chain. Well, at least the white tiger meow in the top area, trembling in front of two women who are theoretically inferior to him.

Sure enough, the combat power of a creature like Pseudo-Niang Luotai is weak.

"It's not Meow's fault, it's not Meow's fault for a qiē!!"

However, even if a certain Mrs. Luo screamed desperately like this, it was useless, but she was stared at by two pairs of sharp eyes, and rolled directly behind Li Shushi, and by the way, she took the lollipop hidden in Li Shushi's sleeve by the way.

Okay, sure enough, White Tiger Meow, your goal is a lollipop from the beginning, so even if you are coquettish and roll off the festival, you don't hesitate to do so. Are you so afraid that your family's Yellow Dragon Girl and Xuanwu Imperial Sister know it, in fact, Shu Huang can lead you to see the goldfish.

Okay, the cold eyes of a certain Lori immediately calmed Li Shushi from head to toe, as for a certain eldest lady who was originally secretly fighting with Lori, at this moment she also looked lazy with "The weather is so good today", standing there very casually and looking at this side with smiling eyes, as for the damn old man Cheng who was still with Li Shushi just now, at this time he was even more righteous and ran away with oil on the soles of his feet. It seemed as if he was going to instruct the workers over there on their work problems, but look at his back like a lost dog. Li Shushi had no other way than to send his most sincere disdainful expression.

always felt as if he had done a big death, attracting the attention of the two aunts and grandmothers who couldn't be provoked, and even the white tiger meow, who was hiding behind him and licking the lollipop with a happy face, was also trembling under that cold breath at this moment.

Sure enough, from the very beginning, I shouldn't have the slightest expectation for you, White Tiger Meow!

"Uh...... How did the two of them discuss and whether they found a solution to the problem. ”

Just as Zhang Jaw worried, Li Shushi actually had the same worries. Although Huangfu Song, who had been killed in battle, had proved that the soldiers of the Puppet Regiment did look very uncomfortable on a rainy day. Combat effectiveness has declined from all angles, but it is based on a few days of drizzle.

On the other hand, although the pouring rain summoned by the Dong Coalition Army at the beginning was majestic and powerful, it was based on the premise of summoning the Qinglong to appear, and it did not need to last too long. And during this period of heavy rain, those puppeteers can completely hide themselves behind those endless traps, behind those things that can't destroy much even if it's rainstorming.

Therefore, if the puppet corps can have a decisive battle with the Bingzhou army at the time selected by the Bingzhou army, this problem is not too troublesome, but the other party obviously does not intend to let the Bingzhou people get their way, and would rather delay the time like this, and ignore the war letter issued by the Bingzhou people.

Such an attitude made Li Shushi begin to wonder if the other party was deliberately delaying time. After all, compared to before, it can be called an active offensive attitude, and now the enemy seems to be completely content with the status quo, although it is not without the exclusion of troops to carry out the "daily tasks" every day, but in addition to this, the other side rarely even goes to Chang'an City.

Could it be that the other party actually has restrictions on material supply?

It's a pity that such a conjecture was immediately slapped in the face by reality in the next battle.

Therefore, for this kind of abnormal movement of the puppet corps, the military advisors and staff officers of the Bingzhou Army are still more inclined to have some unknown plans, maybe the Bingzhou Army can try to contact Dong Zhuo, who is still living a very nourishing life in the puppet corps, but with Dong Zhuo's scummy body, you can know which class he is mixed in that dead man's heap, and the secret plans of those "big people" are obviously not accessible to "small characters" like Dong Zhuo.

In other words, it is useless to ask.

Therefore, instead of trying to guess the enemy's actions in vain, it is better to figure out what you can control, at least in the face of absolute power, a strategy is just a joke.

However, nature is so majestic and vast, although the power generated is almost irreversible by human beings, but this also makes Li Shushi, who wants to use its power to achieve his goal, feel powerless for a while.

Of course, that's just how he feels.

In the eyes of a certain Lori and a certain eldest lady, maybe things are far simpler than Li Shushi imagined?

At least for Li Shushi's concerns, both of them seem to have expressed disdain.

Let's hope they're not trying to be strong.

At least for his own Lori, Li Shushi really doesn't want to see the other party's haggard figure as if he will lose the other party's heart-wrenching figure in the next moment.

So compared to this Lori who is only occasionally stubborn, Li Shushi feels that he is obviously not desperate enough. (To be continued......)
