Chapter 432: The Empty City Plan
Seeing that Bai Di's army was gathering in a hurry, Ye Yunyang found Lu Zhi to ask about the situation.
Lu Zhi looked excited, and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Qin army's grain and grass camp is empty, and we just took the opportunity to rob it, killing three birds with one stone." ”
What is a triple win?
First, the Bai Di people have received countless amounts of grain, grass, and ordnance, and they have food, soldiers, swords and guns in their hands, and of course their waists and poles are hard.
Second, after solving the immediate predicament of the alliance of the three major clans, maybe they can take the opportunity to defeat the Qin army.
Third, the morale of the Qin army was low, and they had no choice but to retreat, give up the Rongdi land they had occupied before, and regroup after the grain and grass were ready.
The most important thing is the first point, the attraction to Bai Di people is not small, which can be proved from Lu Zhi's excited face.
Ye Yunyang has reason to believe that Lu Xuan and Luke also think the same way.
He frowned and said, "This matter should not be rushed, you take me to see King Bai Di immediately." ”
"Why?" Lu Zhi didn't understand.
The so-called soldiers are fast, if they miss the great opportunity in front of them, when the Qin people come back to their senses and strengthen the defense specifications of the grain and grass camp, it will not be easy to rob the camp again.
Ben Hou felt that this matter was fraudulent. He said solemnly.
Lu Zhi frowned, clenched his fists and said, "Marquis Wu Ying, please, I will have someone to inform my younger brother Luke immediately." ”
A few minutes later, the White Di King's Tent.
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows: "What? Wu Yinghou thinks there is fraud, what do you mean?"
Ye Yunyang analyzed: "First of all, I doubt the authenticity of this information, King Bai Di, let me ask you, where did the information come from?"
King Bai Di replied without thinking: "It was sent by King Chirong." ”
"Yes, it was sent by King Chirong. Ye Yunyang said unhurriedly: "That guy dreamed of letting King Bai Di lead the army to battle, and at this moment the coalition army is in a difficult moment, and it is urgent for new forces to join." ”
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment: "What does Marquis Wu mean is that King Chirong used false information to lure this king into battle?"
Ye Yunyang nodded: "That's it, once Bai Di's army participates in the war, with the current situation, it may not be able to get in." At that time, Bai Di's army was deeply encircled, and his own soldiers and the enemy were in a stalemate, even if they wanted to retreat, they had no chance. ”
Lu Xun thought about it, there is indeed such a possibility.
The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, not only to guard against the enemy, but also to guard against the companions around them at all times.
Rook shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, Chi Rong is a simple-minded guy, he can come up with such a plan?"
Lu Xun immediately agreed, in his impression, King Chirong is indeed not a person who is good at playing with intrigues, so the intelligence should be credible.
Ye Yunyang shook his head: "He's stupid, but it doesn't mean that there are no smart people around him." The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the rabbit was in a hurry to bite, and it was normal for him to come up with a trick or two in order to save the defeat. ”
Obviously, such arguments did not completely convince the father and son.
The three of them felt that Ye Yunyang represented the Great Han, and the Great Han and the Great Qin were incompatible, and Ye Yunyang should be happy to attack the Qin army in a sneak attack.
How did they know that Ye Yunyang's heart was towards the Ghost Face Army.
The father and son felt that they should take the benefits of the big man and make some efforts to perform, even if it was just for show, not to mention that it was such a good opportunity, which should not be let go.
So, herein lies the difficulty.
Ye Yunyang continued: "Taking a step back, even if King Chirong didn't tell a lie or have any conspiracy, can you be sure that the information must be correct?"
Lu Xuan clenched his fists: "Please Wu Yinghou speak up." ”
"The commander of the Qin people is a ghost-faced horse, this person is extremely treacherous in his use of troops, the Han army has fought against him on the border for many years, and has never taken advantage of him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a last resort. Ye Yunyang said with a straight face: "In such an important place as the grain and grass camp, there is an emptiness in the guard force, will he not see it?"
Lu Xuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "What does Wu Yinghou mean, this is a trap?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I have to admit that it's highly likely. He walked to the map on the side of the big tent, picked up a small stick and pointed to the location of the Qin army's grain and grass camp, and said: "King Bai Di, please see, the location chosen by the Qin people is very particular, and there are suitable places to lay ambushes in the four directions around the big camp. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "I even suspect that this grain and grass camp is a fake and used to attract the attention of the enemy. You think, grain and grass, an important material related to the life and death of the army, how can the Qin people not look at it. ”
The three of them were silent, their minds racing.
Ye Yunyang frowned, his remarks must have been listened to by them, but whether they would stop there or not, can be said.
The so-called recklessness, as long as the temptation is big enough, even if they know that there is danger, many people will still run headlong and recklessly reckless.
Lu Xun was the first to raise his head: "Whether it's true or not, it's difficult to make a correct judgment just because we say it here." Wu Yinghou's point of view is very reasonable, but Xiao Wang still wants to go and see, in case there is a chance! You can rest assured, since he thinks that the enemy may be cheating, Xiao Wang will take necessary measures, and once he finds out that it is a trap, he will immediately retreat with his subordinates. ”
When it came to this, Ye Yunyang could only nod: "Okay, King Bai Di should be more careful, and Ben Hou will retire." ”
With that, he turned to leave.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he heard Lu Xun start to give orders: "Lu Zhi, you lead 50,000 men as the right wing, Lu Ke leads 50,000 people as the left wing, and this prince leads an army of 100,000 in the center. The remaining 50,000 horses were handed over to General Niu to lead and garrison the camp just in case. ”
"The boy obeys!" said Lu Zhi and Lu Ke in unison.
Ye Yunyang smiled faintly, this arrangement can be described as seamless, which shows that Lu Xun has some talent for leading troops.
In the southwest, the Qin army's grain and grass camp.
The huge camp, with only 30,000 people in charge of guarding, had to be divided into three shifts for rotation, and the troops were extremely empty.
The general of the garrison was in a state of confusion, if the enemy attacked at this time, even if there were only 30,000 men, he could turn the camp upside down.
Several times in a row, he sent people to find the Ghost-faced Horse, begging him to send troops.
However, the ghost-faced colt not only ignored him, but also asked him if he could draw another 10,000 men and throw them into the battlefield.
He couldn't understand why the horse didn't worry about the grain and grass at all, even if the alliance of the three major clans was deep in the battlefield and couldn't withdraw, there was still a Bai Di watching from the sidelines.
Just when he was puzzled, the ghost-faced colt sent a secret letter.
After dismantling it, he was even more confused, and said to himself: "What do you mean, Lord Deputy Commander, can a few patrols scare the enemy away?"
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still chose to do it, and instructed: "Call the three captains Sun, Yang, and Wu over, and there will be a task assigned to them." ”
A few minutes later, three lieutenants arrived.
He ordered in a deep voice: "You divide the men and horses of the headquarters into several squads, each team has more than 50 people, and then patrol in the east, west, and north directions.
The three of them didn't quite understand, and Captain Wu asked, "General, what do you mean?"
"Why do you ask so much, just do it. The general said angrily: "Remember, after seeing the Rong Di people, no matter how many people on the other side are, just calmly retreat, try to show some contempt and disdain on your face, but don't go too far, understand?"
"Yes!"
The three went on a mission, and after a quarter of an hour, dozens of patrol squads left the camp.
The 200,000 Bai Di army marched hand in hand, going to the Qin army's grain and grass camp.
Lu Zhi and Luke adhered to their father's request and sent no less than 100 sentinels to be responsible for the task of finding the way.
As time went on, the Sentinels returned one after another, bringing back the latest news.
Judging from the information obtained now, no ambushes were found on the way to the Qin army's camp, and it was very quiet.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and the generals behind him were also ready to "make a fortune".
The army continued on its march until there were still thirty miles left from its destination, when the sentry reported that it had encountered a Qin patrol.
This was already the fourth time, and Lu Xun wondered in his heart why the Qin soldiers did not chase after Bai Di's sentry cavalry, but turned around and left at a long distance.
You must know that there are forty or fifty people in the patrol, and most of the Baidi Sentinels act alone, so there is no reason for a group of people to be afraid of one person.
According to the usual practice, after discovering the opponent's sentry horse, the first thing to do is to rush over, not only to make the enemy lose his eyes and ears, but also to get information from the mouth of the sentry horse, killing two birds with one stone.
Qin Bing's approach was really strange.
"Report to the ......" Another sentry came back and shouted loudly: "Report to the king, the villain met the Qin army patrol ten miles away, because they appeared suddenly, they were a few hundred meters away from the villain. But strangely, instead of chasing me or firing arrows, they turned around and walked away. ”
When Xiao Bing said these words, he couldn't help but be frightened, thinking that he was going to die, and in the end he easily picked up a life.
Lu Xun took a few steps forward and asked Xiao Bing: "In addition to turning around and leaving, does the other party have any other reaction?"
The little soldier recalled, and said, "No, ah......"
He was only concerned with running for his life, and he didn't care about anything else.
Lu Xuan said that he was very disappointed, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
"By the way, I remembered......" the soldier said with a wink...... The other party's expression was very strange, there was no excitement when he saw me, but when he withdrew, he had a look of contempt...... Isn't what I'm saying useless, my lord?"
Lu Xun's eyes lit up: "It's useful, it's too useful!"
Ignoring the sentry cavalry and showing contempt, this shows that the Qin army patrol has no fear.
Why is there any fear?
It's very simple, because they have the bottom in their hearts, which means that the other party must have set up an ambush, just waiting for Bai Di's army to get in.
It's a pit!
Almost without thinking, Lu Xun ordered: "The army stops! Send someone to inform the eldest prince and the little prince on both wings at once, and let them retreat with the king." The soldiers listened to the order, the rear army was changed to the front army, and the front army was changed to the rear army, and returned to the Baidi garrison as quickly as possible, and there was an enemy ambush in front. ”
The soldiers suddenly realized, what are you waiting for, let's leave quickly.
Watching the orderly retreat of the soldiers, Lu Xun smiled and said to himself: "The cunning Qin people, if you want to lure this king into the bait, it is simply a pipe dream. ”
