In the camp after the night attack, Sun Jian was in the tent listening to the clerks below report the losses.

This night attack on Dong Zhuojun was obviously prepared, they dispatched a large number of generals, although the generals of Sun and Liu were still brave under the surprise attack, but Zu Mao on Sun Jian's side was still injured by the other party.

"How is General Zu?"

Sun Jian said in a deep voice.

"I'm still in a coma, and the doctors are still trying."

Sun Jian pondered for a long time, and then ordered.

"Invite Uncle Huang and Zhou Junshi over."

Soon, Liu Bei and Zhou Ping came to Sun Jian's face, and after a brief greeting, Sun Jian asked.

"Master Zhou, what do you think about this night attack?"

"Please also ask General Wentai to make it clearer."

"The military advisor previously expected that Dong Zhuo would only retreat and had no intention of attacking, but this night attack was obviously not in line with what the Zhou military division had expected."

Although there was a hint of reproach in Sun Jian's words, his tone was peaceful.

However, this also confirms what Sun Ping said that he really wants to win over Zhou Ping.

In fact, Zhou Ping was also quite puzzled by Dong Zhuo's night attack, after all, this night attack was not recorded, and it did not match what he knew.

Could it be that I really caused the butterfly effect?

No, even if he didn't have himself, Sun Jian would still come to Luoyang, although Liu Bei is also going to Luoyang now, but Liu Bei is weak now, and he will not threaten Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's night attack is reasonable and can be explained.

Thinking like this, Zhou Ping suddenly recalled that Zhang Liao had attacked him before.

Sun Ping obviously couldn't beat Zhang Liao, but after being stabbed by Sun Ping, Zhang Liao decisively withdrew, he was a military advisor, and it was impossible for the other party not to know his importance.

It's as if he doesn't pursue meritorious service, but attacks at night for the sake of night attacks.

"It's a suspicious tactic!"

Zhou Ping suddenly spoke, and without waiting for Sun Jian and Liu Bei to continue to ask, Zhou Ping explained.

"Dong Zhuo wants to withdraw, this news is judged by us based on the Luoyang fire, it can be said that Dong Zhuo's side exposed it to us, and tonight's night attack, the war spirit expressed is completely different from the previous one, and it is also deliberately exposed by Dong Zhuo's side."

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Ping felt that his thoughts were pouring out.

"So, what we have to do is to distinguish whether Dong Zhuo wants to withdraw or fight."

"As I said before, if the flame array in the sky above Luoyang is hastily canceled, it will cause great loss to the people who cast the array, although I don't know who set up the big array, but even if Dong Zhuo is violent, it will not damage his strategists."

"What's more, this night attack, the enemy seems to be too cautious."

"Previously, Miss Sun and I were raided by an enemy general named Zhang Liao, who was more brave than Miss Sun, although he was slightly injured, he obviously had the strength to fight again."

Sun Ping on the side nodded, and she also admitted the difference in strength between the two.

"It's a great merit to kill the military division, but after seeing the retreat signal, that Zhang Liao chose to retreat, very decisively, without dragging his feet."

At this point, Sun Jian, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke.

"In this way, it is true, when the enemy will defeat my general Zu Mao, it coincides with the other party's retreat signal, but in the face of the general's success, the other party can decisively obey the order to retreat, which is completely inconsistent with the impression of the Xiliang army."

"So ......"

Liu Bei's frowning brows gradually relaxed.

"This night attack is just a feint?"

"That's right."

Zhou Ping nodded.

"It is precisely because Dong Zhuo wants to withdraw that he wants to attack at night, so that we think that there is fraud in it, so that we can escape smoothly!"

……

At the same time, inside the city of Luoyang.

"Is it realistic?"

In Li Ru's tent, Li Ru, who was standing in front of the sand table, raised his eyes and asked, across the sand table, in front of him stood all the generals who went to the night attack.

"It should be, I'll quit after two hits, sir, this should be realistic."

Zhang Liao scratched his head and said, not mentioning that he was stabbed by Sun Ping.

Li Ru nodded silently and looked at the unharmed generals in front of him.

"Very good, go back to recharge your energy and prepare for the good show the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of the departing generals, Li Ru grinned and couldn't help laughing.

This time it's kind of nailing the coalition people here, and the next thing is to wait.

Li Ru turned his head and looked at the jade coffin that had followed him all over the surrounding imperial tombs.

The original turquoise jade coffin had turned purple, and the same purple aura struggled to emanate from it, soaking and staining, bringing decay to everything around it.

It seems that as long as this jade coffin is opened, the bound things in it will swallow the whole world.

……

Next.

It seems that the reason for the night attack just yesterday was that as soon as the morning dawned, Sun Liu's side sent a military general to call for battle, but Dong Zhuojun's side closed the city gate and ignored it at all.

After calling for a long time, seeing that no one answered, the generals on Sun Liu's side withdrew back.

The other party didn't fight for some reason, and it was not easy for their side to attack, so they could only wait.

Still, they got the good news - the people trapped in the city finally got the news out.

The blockade of the city gates will be lifted tomorrow at noon, when all the ordinary people in the city can leave the city through the north and south gates, while the officials and their families will move to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven under the escort of Dong Taishi's Xiliang army.

As a result, Zhou Ping's guess was finally confirmed, and the generals in the coalition army all praised Zhou Junshi's clever calculations, and even Sun Ping began to give Zhou Ping a good look.

However, along with the good news, there is also not so good news, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao from the Tiger Prison Pass will arrive tonight.

"Ahh

In the handsome tent, there were only Liu Bei and Sun Jian at this time, and in front of them were a letter jointly written by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"They're coming."

"yes."

The two looked at each other, both a little helpless.

If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao went back like the other princes, then Dong Zhuo withdrew, and this Luoyang City would definitely be divided equally between the two of them, but now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are coming over tonight, the distribution of Luoyang City will have to be discussed.

In a sense, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are actually a bit like Sun Jian and Liu Bei, both of them are a stronger big brother with a weaker younger brother, but Sun Jian and Liu Bei, whether they are the eldest brother or the younger brother, are far from each other.

This is not Tian Ji horse racing, not Sun Jian vs. Cao Cao, Liu Bei vs. Yuan Shao can fight one-to-one, in the face of absolute strength, all plans are nonsense.

If Yuan Shao came over, then the commander of the four-person small coalition army must be Yuan Shaodang, and the one assigned after taking Luoyang must also be Yuan Shao.

"If only I could get them to come later."

Liu Bei sighed.

Indeed, if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came over after Sun and Liu entered the city, the situation would have to be calculated separately, even if Yuan Shao's power was great, it would not be easy to forcibly grab the city occupied by others.

"But the situation in Luoyang, they must already know."

Everyone is an allied army, and they often communicate with each other, and it is impossible to hide the big news that Dong Zhuo is going to retreat.

"Then there is no way."

Looking outside the tent, Liu Bei sighed.

This feeling of gaining and losing is really uncomfortable.
