Chapter Seventy-Five: Calculation within a Calculation, Spy within a Spy

After a day's march, Li Tang rushed to Jianliu City when the morning sun was rising the next day, and after a little repair, he walked up to the city tower, climbed high and looked into the distance, and inspected the Quartet.

Looking into the distance, surrounded by green mountains, green shade like waves, beautiful environment, looking down on the near place, thousands of people, raised axes, cut off the hundred-year-old trees, and cleared out a large open space in the forest outside the city wall.

"Lord, the trees are thick, suitable for the enemy to sneak into the city, but not suitable for our army to defend, so the last general will recruit the people to cut down the trees on the edge of the city. ”

Zhao Yun said on the side, as the vanguard force, the marching speed was relatively fast, and after coming to Jianliu City, like Li Tang, he looked at the surrounding environment, removed the obstacles that hindered the defense of the city, and eliminated potential threats.

"Well, after cutting down these trees, you can create some traps in place and consume the strength of the An family. ”

Li Tang nodded and suggested, creating traps is also a kind of art of war, which can consume the strength of the enemy army, and it is widely used in the continent of all nations.

"Okay lord!"

Zhao Yun nodded, this kind of means falls into the trail in peacetime, but in wartime, as long as it can cause damage to the enemy, it is the avenue, which is worth advocating.

"Secondly, is the An family's grain and grass troops stationed in Zhijing Ridge?" Li Tang asked

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "The lord wants to attack the grain camp at night?"

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!

Grain and grass, refers to grain and straw, forage, is the supply in the army, plays a key role in the victory or defeat of the war, if a war can not be separated in a short period of time, then the importance of grain and grass is highlighted, who has enough grain and grass, who has a greater chance of winning.

"That's right, as long as the grain and grass are burned, this war will be half won!" Li Tang nodded and said.

In the continent of all nations, there are often wars in which grain and grass are burned, and once the grain and grass are destroyed, the morale of the army is demoralized, the supplies are insufficient, and finally the war is lost.

Because of the importance of grain and grass, the generals of each army attach great importance to the protection of grain and grass, and often ambush near the grain camp, or use other tactics to protect grain and grass.

So Zhao Yun said worriedly: "But my lord, the plan to attack grain and grass at night is very risky, it is possible that the An family has already completed the ambush and is waiting for us to attack?"

It is not terrible for the two armies to fight each other in the open, but what is terrible is that the enemy army is in ambush, and once they enter the ambush circle, it is more difficult to escape safely than to ascend to the sky.

After hearing this, Li Tang also nodded and said, "This is indeed my anxiety, let's wait for the news from the bloody guards lurking in the enemy army, and then discuss whether to send troops!"

In addition to food and grass, intelligence sources are also crucial!

Plans in plans, spies in spies, all need intelligence support!

Zhao Yun nodded, and continued to discuss the layout of the army with Li Tang, until dusk in the afternoon, when he received the information from the Bloody Guard.

"The 100,000 army is all in Luoyungou, and the 1,000 wolf cavalry is missing!"

Looking at the simple two sentences, Li Tang hesitated for a long time before handing the information to Zhao Yun and said:

"Zilong, do you think there is a conspiracy in it?"

Zhao Yun looked at it, a trace of solemnity appeared on his handsome face, and finally said, "This may really be a trap, a trap for the Streamer City." ”

After hearing this, Li Tang said with a smile: "That's right, I was wondering at the beginning why the An family would separate the grain and grass from the army, and thought that An Quanfu would not march to fight, but now after I saw the information, I suddenly realized that An Quanfu not only knows how to march and fight, but is also a scheming conspirator." ”

A qualified military strategist, statesman, and king must learn to dig out the deeper meaning of intelligence and speculate on the true intentions of the enemy army from simple and superficial intelligence.

"Lord, since An Quanfu has dug a trap, the last general thinks that it is better to defend the inter-stream city. Zhao Yun proposed.

Li Tang closed his eyes, kept thinking in his mind, and finally opened his eyes, flashed a glimmer of light and said:

"It's not as good as the tiger's den, but the tiger, I still decided to appoint you to attack the grain and grass at night!"

Zhao Yun was taken aback, and immediately persuaded: "The lord can't, our army has fewer troops, attack grain and grass at night, disperse the existing forces, once the city is attacked by the enemy, it will be difficult to hold it!"

It turned out that An Quanfu's plan was to use the grain and grass as bait to attract Li Tang to send troops to attack, and he himself led the army to attack the Jianliu City.

Once the main force is gone, it will not be easy to defeat Li Tang.

It can be seen that An Quanfu is scheming!

Looking at Zhao Yun, who was hurriedly dissuaded, Li Tang said with a smile: "What if there are still 50,000 troops in the city?"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in a puzzled tone: "If there are really 50,000 troops, the last general will agree to attack the grain and grass at night!"

The reason why he opposed the attack on grain and grass was that he was afraid that he would lose the city of Middlewater because of the division of troops, and now that he had enough troops, this worry would naturally disappear!

"That's good, tonight Zilong, you attack the grain and grass at night, and I will sit on the city tower and wait for An Quanfu to attack the city!"

Li Tang showed a smile that had succeeded in his plan, and said in high spirits.

Zhao Yun was on the side, showing a wry smile, he found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through his lord, like a deep pool, the surface was as plain as a mirror, but in fact it was bottomless.

This discovery also made him feel comforted, and his inability to see through the lord showed that he had grown up and began to become a real monarch, a monarch with a city and a background, and only such a king was worthy of his follow.

The time before the war always passed quickly, like time passing through the fingers, fleeting, just after the preparation of the army, I saw the bright moon shining, covering the quiet mountains and forests with a layer of silver veil.

The war is cruel, the parting is sad, under the eyes of Li Tang, Zhao Yun led 30,000 Changshan troops, under the cover of the night, quietly left Ancheng and went to Zhijingling.

This time, I don't know how many people are buried in Qingshan;

This time, I don't know how many families have washed their faces with tears;

This time, I don't know how many people will return with glory!

"Lord, it's windy at night, let's go back!"

A lieutenant of the Changshan Army whispered beside Li Tang that he was worried about the wind, but he didn't want to see the scene of life and death.

"Don't go back first, go directly to the city tower!

Li Tang said, holding a few fireworks, walking towards the city tower, his eyes patrolling around.

"Catching turtles in an urn?"

The captain muttered suspiciously, but he didn't know what it meant, and quickly followed.

The mountains and forests are very quiet, quiet and scary, in the silence spread a little silver light of the green forest, exuding a dense mist, like a ghost at night, devouring people's hearts.

Inside the city, the torches are bright, and 10,000 Changshan troops are under strict martial law, and outside the city, two armies are sneaking by, passing by!

A little star, a crescent moon, three fireworks, waiting for the good news!

And what about his good news?

As he expected, marching in the mountains and forests!
