【Fourth Update】

"Expected!"

Zhao Mao said lightly: "If he really attacked at night at this time, I would have to wonder if he Lu Bu was as powerful as the legend." ”

"General Zhao, since you know that the enemy army will not attack, why do you still place the military camp behind the city?" Tan Wenbo, the general of the Bailan Kingdom, looked at Zhao Mao and asked.

"General Tan can't understand?" Zhao Mao turned his head to look at Tan Wenbo and asked with a smile.

Tan Wenbo's face changed, if he understood it, he wouldn't ask more.

"Report, General, we have already investigated clearly, and there will be no more than 50,000 iron cavalry under Lu Bu's command. At that moment, another scout came up to give an offer.

When Tan Wenbo heard this, he suddenly realized that Zhao Mao didn't intend to be a bait to fool Lu Bu's army from the beginning, he just wanted to find out the number of Lu Bu's iron horses.

After understanding, Tan Wenbo now sighed lightly in his heart, this general Zhao Mao of the Jinshui Kingdom is indeed more powerful than himself, his purpose has been set from the beginning, and the soldiers only need to follow the goal.

"Fifty thousand. ”

Zhao Mao nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the army will be ordered to occupy each city separately, and we must take down Chi County, on the one hand, to compress the scope of Lu Bu's iron cavalry's activities, and on the other hand, to form a strategic purpose, to suppress Lu Feng in public opinion, so that those people in the original Thirteen Counties of Ziyang can see that we have taken Chi County." ”

"Let those families who are dissatisfied with the Southern Yan Kingdom continue to contact us and crush the Southern Yan Kingdom from within. ”

"The last general obeys!"

The deputy general behind Zhao Mao immediately took the order.

After Zhao Mao groaned slightly, he looked at Tan Wenbo and said, "General Tan, now I bother you to lead the army to Mingxi City, and I will lead the army to Shangguan Mountain, so that the two sides can be horns for each other and block the road from Hengjun to Chijun, how about it?"

Mingxi City and Shangguan Mountain are the two strategic places in Chi County, once these two places are taken, it is to attack and retreat, and it is completely possible to block all roads in front of Heng County.

Zhao Mao's move is quite clever, in this way, even if there are tens of thousands of iron riders in Chi County, they will not be able to make any waves.

Locking the city and Shangguan Mountain is equivalent to cutting off the road between Lu Bu and Neilu Peak in Heng County, and when the time comes, the victory will be in hand.

Tan Wenbo thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll lead the army to set off tomorrow." ”

"Very well. Zhao Mao said with a smile.

Tan Wenbo didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"General, let's go down and prepare immediately, and go to Shangguan Mountain tomorrow. The deputy general beside Zhao Mao said.

"No!"

Zhao Mao waved his hand and said, "We'll set off tomorrow afternoon, it's still early, give Lu Bu a little time first." ”

When the adjutant general heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Mao suspiciously, and asked, "General, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Mao didn't answer, just stared at Tan Wenbo's departing back, sneered, and said in a low voice: "Tan Wenbo, Tan Wenbo, tomorrow, you just wait for Lu Bu's iron cavalry's attack!"

Lu Bu has tens of thousands of iron horsemen here, if Tan Wenbo leads the army forward, it is definitely a good opportunity, as long as Lu Bu is not a fool, he will definitely attack Tan Wenbo at this time.

Chi County is suitable for iron cavalry charge, and even if Tan Wenbo can kill Lu Bu at that time, the cost of soldiers will be at least more than 300,000.

When the time comes, with the help of this matter, he can let the Spirit Sword Sect, which is putting pressure on the Bailan Kingdom, get more bargaining chips, replace Tan Wenbo, and bring an obedient general, so that Zhao Mao can completely deal with Lu Feng, the emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom.

The deputy general heard Zhao Mao's low voice, and suddenly realized what he meant.

......

The next day, on a slope in Chi County, Lu Bu led tens of thousands of iron horsemen waiting in this place.

"Report, general, Tan Wenbo's million-strong army was found ahead, looking at the direction of their march, it should be heading towards Mingxi City, should we attack?" a personal soldier came to Lu Bu and asked.

"Where is their grain and grass?" asked Lu Bu.

"The enemy army was very vigilant and placed the grain and grass in the middle of the army, and the surrounding army was three layers inside, and the outer three layers protected the grain and grass. ”

Lu Bu suddenly frowned slightly, and muttered: "This Tan Wenbo is a sting and a wise man, and he is so protective of grain and grass. ”

His current mission is not to kill more enemy troops, but only to destroy the enemy's food and grass.

He just needs to complete this task.

Now Tan Wenbo suffered a big loss in the problem of grain and grass last time, and this time he did too well in this regard, and he couldn't find a chance to attack grain and grass at all.

With a slight groan, Lu Bu said: "Forget it, don't mess around, let them go, and wait for the army of the Jinshui Kingdom." ”

"Yes!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Mao in Guhe City received news that Tan Wenbo's army had not been attacked, and he immediately gathered his generals in the conference hall to talk about the matter.

"Everyone, the situation is wrong, Tan Wenbo's army has not been attacked, tell me, what do you think?" Zhao Mao sat on the main seat and looked at the generals under his command and asked.

"General, the last general thinks that there are no more than two situations when such a situation happens, either Lu Bu has already left Chi County with the army, or Lu Bu is afraid that Tan Wenbo's army will cause too much damage to his own army, so he did not choose to attack, but is waiting for another opportunity. ”

"Another chance?"

Zhao Mao groaned slightly, his eyes flashed, and said, "You mean, he is waiting for us to divide our troops to defend other cities and attack the army we sent out?"

"Absolutely!"

The lieutenant general said with a smile: "Otherwise, I can't explain why Lu Bu doesn't attack the Bailan Kingdom army that is inferior to us in combat power now." ”

"General, the last general thinks so too. Another lieutenant general stood up and said with a smile: "Lu Bu didn't dare to attack the Bailan Kingdom, and he definitely didn't dare to attack our Jinshui Kingdom." ”

"The last general feels that it is necessary for us to occupy Shangguan Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise, when Lu Feng reacts and sends a large army to occupy Shangguan Mountain, we will fall into passivity again. ”

When Zhao Mao heard this, he thought about it, and immediately ordered to go down: "The army will not divide its troops for the time being, gather in one place, and immediately prepare to move forward, increase the strength of the army transporting grain, and avoid Lu Bu from robbing grain." ”

Zhao Mao's ability is indeed not weak, and now that Lu Bu's purpose has not yet been shown, he has already begun to arrange for the army to escort grain and grass, and this awareness is very in place.

With the order of the great general Zhao Mao, the army of the Jinshui Kingdom immediately began to move.

Soon, the army of the Jinshui Kingdom began to leave from the valley and the city, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army.

Finally, it's the army of grain carriers!

Not far from Guhe City, Lu Bu had already led tens of thousands of iron horsemen to this place.

"General, as you said, the enemy did not let the scouts scout investigate this place, and did not find us. ”
