According to the scout, the place where Yuan Jun stored grain was a valley, with mountains on three sides, and only one passage in the middle, which was similar to the place where Lin Mo chose to store grain.

I don't know how many people are guarded, but judging by the number of scouts on the periphery, it should be around six to eight thousand, such a terrain, such a number of people, it can be regarded as a more reasonable distribution.

Originally, finding the place where Yuan Jun was storing grain was equivalent to seizing the opportunity of a fatal blow, grain and grass were the lifeblood of the three armies, and if they could be destroyed, it would be worth paying a certain price.

For this reason, Lu Bu, who sat down again, was like a breathing mountain, up and down, if he could destroy this grain and grass, he would not have to fight with Yuan Tan's army, a typical less is more.

When he was about to make a declaration of victory, he found that Lin Mo and Chen Gong didn't have any expression on their faces, could it be fraud?

Lu Bu forced his excitement and began to think calmly and calmly, but before he could speak, Zhang Xiu took the lead, "The transfer of grain and grass in the army is not allowed to leave rut marks, and now is not the time when the war is tense, why is there such a big flaw in the Northern Army?" ”

Lu Bu's mouth opened, I thought so too, and nodded after coughing dryly twice, "What Ziwen said is exactly what I thought, this matter is a trap given by Yuan Tan, didn't he use grain and grass to lure Peping and them a few days ago, but he was seen through by Wen He, and now he wants to earn us, it's just delusional." ”

said so, in fact, Lu Bu's heart was tickled like a cat, and he always had a hint of luck thinking that it might be that Yuan Jun accidentally left a rut mark.

Lin Mo and Chen Gong remained silent, as Zhang Xiu said, in the army, there will be a special person at the end of the team who is responsible for cleaning up the rut marks left behind, and it is almost a special way to transport grain in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, which is extremely difficult to find, this kind of exposure is too clumsy.

It seems that Yuan Tan is a little impatient.

"Or. Shall we go and see? ”

Lin Mo's proposal made Lu Bulian, who was not firm, echo and said, "It's okay to take a look. ”

According to the scouts, Yuan's grain and grass camp was more than 30 miles northwest of the Chinese army's Dazhai, and it was not visible on the map at all, because it was a mountain.

Lu Bu took a hundred wolf riders from Bingzhou, and pulled Zhang Xiu, Gan Ning, and Lin Mo to prepare to go and see in person, Chen Gong didn't go, and there were still people to guard the camp.

There is really a set of scout paths, and in the terrain of rivers, mountains, and plains, the most convenient but extremely hidden roads are found, after all, this line of food is eaten.

At dusk, under the cover of twilight, a group of 100 people watched Yuan's army's grain and grass camp from a distance above the valley.

As the scout had reported, this was a valley with only one passage, and unlike the place Lin Mo had chosen to store grain, it was more spacious, and although the passage was not large, it was not a problem for tens of thousands of people to fight in this valley.

There is no way, the Northern Army is rich, and the grain and grass used by 200,000 people are naturally incomparable with Lu Bu's background of going to the family to borrow money to maintain the ordnance before going out on the expedition.

"There are three sentry squads, and there are only thirty people in each sentry class, which is a patrol military system of 8,000 people." With just one glance, the old father-in-law said the number of soldiers in the village.

Of course, this is only the theoretical number of soldiers, such a large stockade, surrounded by mountains, forests and depressions, he can ambush tens of thousands of people without leaving any traces.

"If you want to attack, rush from outside the valley to Dazhai for about three miles, the distance is too long, and the Northern Army has plenty of time to react." Zhang Xiu also put forward her own judgment.

As a leader with little experience and limited familiarity with land warfare, Gan Ning took down what they said very seriously in his heart, and also tried to think about some problems from the position of the main general.

As a water bandit born as a Jinfan thief, he has not only an unruly temperament, but also a bandit nature that does not obey discipline, no way, in the past, Gan Ning's martial arts were quite difficult to meet opponents.

However, after the Guangling sneak attack, Lu Bu brought him too much dimensionality reduction blow, and later Zhao Yun Xiao Guan's brilliant achievements in all directions occurred, which made him realize that he was actually nothing, far inferior to Gao Shun in terms of leading troops, and not as good as Zhao Yun in terms of personal martial arts.

However, Lu Ying is a place that will not bury talents, and this feeling is especially prominent after the death of Wei Xu and others, so that he has more sufficient motivation, hoping that he can become the second Zhao Yun, and there will be a day when he will lead the troops to battle.

"Almost, let's go back." After looking at it for half an hour, he already had a count in his heart, and the old father-in-law glanced at Lin Mo, and when he saw that he also nodded, he turned around and went back the same way.

The first thing he did after going back was to move the camp, Lin Mo proposed, and advanced fifteen miles, just stuck in the entrance of the passage.

There are sufficient considerations for doing this, first, although the advantages of Qishan and Juyangshui cannot be brought into play, but the Northern Army in such a fortress position cannot spread out more than 100,000 people to attack.

The second point is very important, here in Xiazhai, from the Yuan army's grain and grass camp shortened more than ten miles, although there is no good means to use at the moment, the grain and grass camp may also be deliberately exposed by the other party, but this is the key point to reverse the tide of the war, that is, some risks are also worth taking.

There is no way now, and it doesn't mean that there will be no follow-up.

With the advance of the camp, the stockade above Qi Mountain also lost its significance of arching and guarding, and the army naturally withdrew.

"Come on, Wenhe, today's celebration banquet is just for you!" After Gao Shun came back with people, Lu Bu personally went to the gate to greet him, and when he saw Jia Xu from a distance, he walked up and took his hand cordially.

For a long time, Lu Bu knew that Jia Xu was a very smart person, and the upper, middle and lower three strategies during the Anfeng War had already been revealed, but he did not have real military merits.

Because more often than not, he doesn't look like a strategist, but more like a soy sauce character who eats and applauds.

This time, the burning of Qishan can be described as a great success, eating nearly 20,000 Northern troops in one go, and it is commendable that he did not lose any soldiers and horses, just rushing to this point, in Lu Bu's heart, he is a strategist who can suppress Chen Gong.

It has to be my son-in-law, and it is an extremely wise choice to throw him to Qishan.

Not only did Lu Bu look down on him in the past, but Chen Gong, Chen Deng, and even Liu Ye all had a lot of complaints about his promotion to the Taishou of the East China Sea.

Taishou, the position is extremely limited, how can he Jia Wen and He De become the Taishou of the East China Sea, they must be the same as Zhen Rong, relying on nepotism with Lin Mo.

Qi Shan's appearance can be regarded as completely justifying his name.

"You're polite to Wen Hou, I can't do anything less, and I don't dare to take credit." Starting from Dong Zhuo's command, to Li Dao Guo Yan, to Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, he has always been a qualified expert in life, focusing on stealth.

In fact, whether it is a strategist or a general, since he has chosen to assist the master, there is no one who is not eager to be put in his heart, but this feeling of being held in the palm of his hand is not something that everyone can like, for example, Jia Xu, who has always been low-key, is very uncomfortable.

If this is placed in the future generations, it should be a serious social phobia.

"In this battle, General Gao and Zilong are certainly meritorious in defending the village, but they killed the enemy invisibly, and the defeat of Yuan Tan's 60,000 army was all thanks to Mr. Jia's strategy, I salute Mr. Jia!" Lin Mo raised his glass with a smile.

"Yunwen is too famous, compared to you, my little bit of Taoism is really starry and dare not compete with Haoyue." Jia Xu always felt that Lin Mo seemed to be holding back.

This is not an illusion, it is real, through this incident, Lin Mo found that if the application of Jia Xu wants to achieve miraculous results, he has to be put to death and thrown him in the most dangerous place.

Now, let him set up a think tank in the barracks, and if he wants to fish in the future, he will have to weigh it.

When people are in high positions, many things become having to participate.

"What do you think about the matter of the grain and grass camp?" After he was full of wine and food, Lin Mo threw this question out, he and Chen Gong reached an agreement, they couldn't act rashly, even if they had to attack the grain and grass of the Northern Army in the end, they must set off a few layers of fog.

"It's supposed to be a trap." When the military village suddenly moved forward, Jia Xu guessed what should have happened, so he was not too surprised by the grain and grass incident.

If you want to talk about a curious question, that is, Yuan Jun's methods are not very clever, who will jump into this kind of bright trap, and it also exposes the weakest point, no matter what plan you make in the future, you have to take care of this big battalion, which is not wise enough.

"Since everyone agrees that this is a trap, then in the next few days, everyone will spend their efforts on this, and they will not get the tiger in the tiger's den." Lu Bu held the wine glass with three fingers and turned it back and forth in front of him, revealing a meaningful smile.

This is knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

As for playing with our brains, it doesn't matter much to us, so let's work harder.

Lin Mo, Chen Gong and Jia Xu glanced at each other and smiled, "Huh." ”

After the battle of White Horse City, the angry Yuan Shao came with an army of 380,000 troops, and the team was hundreds of miles apart.

In order to facilitate the start of the war, and at the same time to lengthen the supply line of the Yuan army, Cao Cao chose to give up the White Horse City and pull Yuan Shao to Guandu, forming a situation where the two armies faced each other.

Interestingly, Yuan Shao was really good to Yan Liang, since the Battle of White Horse City, he wrote to Cao Cao three times, asking for redemption of Yan Liang, asking for grain and grass or money even though he opened his mouth.

Cao Cao's request was very simple, the Northern Army retreated to Hebei, and he let Yan Liang go, but in Yuan Shao's opinion, there was no sincerity in negotiations at all, at least you want to cede Yanzhou, right?

I will return the generals of the three armies to you, and I have to send you a state, Cao Cao snorted coldly, why don't you want my head to be more direct, then let's fight.

Yuan Shao's camp in Guandu is comparable to a county seat, dozens of miles in length and width, and here, there are three additional auxiliary camps around it, with more than 300,000 people, that's not a joke.

And Yuan Shao is actually very good at encouraging people, first took Yan Liang's matter and said, saying that he had been humiliated by Cao Cao in Xuchang, but he would rather die than surrender, he was really heartbroken, and the soldiers were of course indignant when they heard it.

After Yuan Tan's first military report came, he proudly held the express in front of everyone, "Look, Tan Er's design defeated Lu Bu, and the battalion advanced fifteen miles in one day, with a momentum like a rainbow, and was preparing to launch a general attack." ”

The implication is that you also have to work harder, otherwise others will be rewarded for your military achievements.

However, the slap in the face happened within a few days, a fire broke more than 16,000 people, this is a big deal, Yuan Tan didn't dare not report it, so he even said that he had withdrawn from the camp, but emphasized that this was Tian Feng's plan.

The corners of his eyes twitched, his heart turned over the river and the sea, it was difficult to be a big responsibility, he killed more than 1,000 people in one victory, and more than 16,000 people in one defeat.

If this is a family banquet, of course Yuan Shao will severely reprimand Yuan Tan, but when is it now, the war between the two sides is about to break out, in addition to teaching Yuan Tan a lesson, there are more important things, that is, the survival of the 380,000 army, morale!

So, he took the defeat report and said meaningfully: "Tan Er has only been in the army for less than half a month and then retreated. ”

Just when everyone's hearts sank, Yuan Shao's words turned sharp, and the corners of his mouth were outlined, "He is going to mobilize Lu Bu and jump into the trap arranged, and retreat is the advance, worthy of me!" ”

Wenchen military generals were of course full of confidence when they heard this, once Lu Bu collapsed on the Eastern Front, Cao Cao did not have any resistance at all, and asked for battle one by one.

However, the same battle report is a different story in Cao Ying.

"Lin Mo set up a clever plan in Qishan, and burned Yuan Tan's 80,000 army with a fire, so shocked that Yuan Tan retreated from the camp for thirty miles, and if this momentum continues, the war in Qingzhou will end before the beginning of spring."

Cao Cao, who was dressed in a big coat, walked slowly through the middle of a cadre of civil and military affairs, and said in a deep voice as he walked, "Tell the brothers, you must raise your spirit, once Yuan Tan is defeated on the Qingzhou front, it will be the time for us to attack in a big way. ”

It's obviously a serious councilor, and everyone laughs from ear to ear.

In fact, as the owner of the people, in terms of morale, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are all qualified.

It's just that the choices of the two are different, Yuan Shao is in a hurry to break through Cao's camp, while Cao Cao hopes that Lin Mo can clean up Yuan Tan quickly.

What I said just now was not completely fooling the three armies, once Yuan Tan was defeated on the Qingzhou front, Yuan Shao would inevitably become a frightened bird.

At first, Cao Cao was also worried, but after Qi Shan's victory, he also felt that the probability of Lin Mo winning had greatly increased.

Therefore, his main belief this time is one word, etc.!

He was willing to wait, but Yuan Shao refused, so he sent Zhang He and Gao Ran to bring people to scold, and scolded for several days, back and forth with a few words, Cao thief, traitor, evil thief, rebel ~ thief!

Cao Cao was already immune to these abuses, which was much stronger than Lu Bu.

Seeing that the challenge could not be achieved, Yuan Shao sent people to start building a tower outside Cao Ying's stone's throw away, and the so-called building tower can be understood as a kind of watchtower.

After it is completed, due to the advantage in height, you can shoot the guards in Cao's camp, but your height is not enough, so you can only be beaten passively.

You must know that it is an important defensive place in the walled gate, and you can't take targeted measures in time, and finally under the sanction of Loulu, the army can push your camp flat.

Really felt the crisis, Cao Cao was anxious to go back and forth in the Chinese military tent, not knowing how to respond.

"Sikong, the last general asks for an order to lead a team of cavalry out of the south gate tonight, and destroy the high wall in front of the detour!" Since Chen Zhi followed Cao Cao, although he had the rank of military Sima, he was treated like a general, and he was allowed to directly participate in the army.

Recently, he has trained an elite infantry of several hundred people, and when he survived, he just repaid Cao Cao's kindness.

"Uncle Zhi's ambition is commendable, but Yuan Shao must have set up an ambush on the side of the high wall, and it is unwise to rush out of the village." Cao Cao let out a long sigh, obviously disapproving of this approach.

After looking for Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun and others, they all came over to discuss, but they couldn't come up with any decent countermeasures.

Generally speaking, they all felt that there would be some price to be paid for destroying the building.

"Sikong can send his troops to the Yanjin ferry to feint, make a gesture of copying the road, or attract the Yuan army, and suddenly rush out of the cavalry in the village, and they will definitely be able to destroy the building."

Xun You's suggestion is one of the more reliable among the many proposals.

Although it is more troublesome to operate, and the risk is not low, it has to be done, once the Yuan Junlou is formed, the side of this camp has almost become the target of public criticism.

Coupled with the wealth of the northern country and the abundance of armaments, Yuan Shao could make the arrow rain rain for twelve hours a day without stopping.

Thinking that Lu Bu was in full swing on the Qingzhou front, he could still take advantage of the weak to defeat the strong, so he was born.

What about yourself, was you forced to do nothing by the mere building?

Cao Cao exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity and covered his chest, a little depressed.

Well?

What is it?

Cao Cao obviously felt a foreign object when he covered his chest through the dark brocade clothes, and when he reached out to check, he found that it was the brocade bag sent by Lin Mo before.

At the beginning, he also claimed that if the war was unfavorable, he could take it apart and look at it.

Now that the war is unfavorable, Cao Cao sneered, and he sat on the handsome chair and quietly took out the bag and opened it under the table.
