The general clearly concealed some of his faults, and placed the main responsibility for the initial failure on some of the dead in battle, which would have relieved him of his guilt, but at the same time would have left the families of those dead without a single penny, the last money they could earn for their wives and children.

Chun Yuqiong thought about what to do for a long time, and he finally decided to follow this bias in the future and save a sum of money for the living soldiers - as for rewarding and punishing in the future, and finding out about this biased general's disguise, the responsibility cannot be pushed on him, the deceived coach.

He picked up the roster that Gong Cao had handed him, and was sketching on it when a scout came in.

"General, Lu Lian has set up camp on the side of the White Horse Water five miles away."

"Well, how's it going?"

The scout thought for a moment, "She still goes out to the camp every day to chop wood. ”

"Where?"

"White Horse Mountain."

Chun Yuqiong dropped the pen.

"Arrogance." He reprimanded.

The commander should not go out of the camp casually, especially when the distance between the two armies is less than ten miles and the battle is about to be engaged, this truth is also understood by a three-year-old child, unless there is something important and has to go out of the camp, there should be personal soldiers around him.

But even so, there are still some particularly unlucky managers who have been beheaded – and some have even been written into classics by later generations and can be sung again in a thousand years.

Although Chun Yuqiong didn't know this allusion, after hearing the news, he still sank his face.

It was deliberately humiliating him, he thought.

What if he ambushed an army on the mountain, and when she went up the mountain to chop wood, he suddenly rushed out and cut off her head?

At that time, it will be better for the people of the world to see that what a famous general in a hundred battles is just an arrogant fool!

He continued to think about it along this line of thought, not only thinking of his success in ambushing Lu Lian and taking his head, but also thinking of the next Qingzhou army's turmoil, Zhang Liaotai Shici moved his troops to fight for the command of the left, and at that time he led a large army out and broke the enemy army.

The lord will definitely reward him, because this battle is the most critical battle to lay the foundation for victory, without Lu Lian, Liu Bei's flank will be completely vacated, he led the army south, surrounded Liu Bei with the lord, and finally won the Central Plains......

What will be the 28th of the gimbal! His portrait is going up too! His children and grandchildren will also remember their grandfather's deeds! A hundred years later, the people of the world will also remember his battle!

"General?"

Chun Yuqiong woke up from that fluttering fantasy and immediately spoke:

"Pass the order, choose three thousand elite people and me!"

The sun shone on the snow and reflected in the eyes of the soldiers.

The soldiers' eyes were a little dazed, a little excited, and a little afraid. But they were still standing well in the snow, waiting for the general's review.

They are not young men, but veterans in their thirties and forties, which is also the age when soldiers are most combative.

Chun Yuqiong was very satisfied when she saw them, with such a bear and tiger division, this plan will be successful!

He asked them to lie in ambush on the mountain, calm down and guard, and when Lu Lian came out of the camp to chop firewood, they rushed down in one go, and then they would be successful!

Now there is only one question left.

"General, who is leading the troops?"

Chun Yuqiong was stunned for a moment.

Such an ambush was very hard, the soldiers had to spend the night in the ice and snow, and the next day, when they had to wait for Lu Lian to go up the mountain, they rushed down from the mountain and confronted the man who was said to be as brave as King Xiang - of course, this required a general who was highly regarded in the army to press the battle, and the soldiers had the courage to charge.

Chun Yuqiong's popularity is enough, but he is not ready to meet Lu Lian.

In such an ambush, if you lose, you will probably not be able to retreat with your whole body.

…… Someone else?

Chun Yuqiong took his gaze off the soldiers' faces and turned to his partial generals.

Some people quietly lowered their heads, some raised their faces, and some people strode out to ask for battle, shouting loudly, they must take Lu Lian's head back to him!

The general hesitated.

When the battle is about to be engaged, in fact, the barracks on both sides will not be normal.

Chun Yuqiong's soldiers and horses are under the White Horse City, the east of the White Horse Water, she is in the west of the White Horse Water, adjacent to the White Horse Mountain, the two armies are very close to each other, as long as you go out of the camp and walk a corner, you can see the fireworks on the opposite side not far away.

The Jizhou army is strictly disciplined, there are no homeless people or businessmen to rely on, there are more people on her side, and they need to verify their identities one by one.

For example, when going up the mountain to cut firewood, not only do you need to go together, but you also have to go up the mountain with the soldiers, and someone must be in charge of guarding it.

Even so, Sima Yi criticized her.

"If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, it's still too risky for a general to do this."

She thought for a moment, "Am I taking a risk?" ”

"Being in danger, not only is the general very risky, but the general is also very arrogant," Sima Yi further criticized, "If Chun Yu Qiong ambushes his troops on the mountain, and the general is brave enough to conquer the world, what can he do?" ”

"No," she said, "he doesn't look like a man who can do that." ”

"Even so......"

She turned her head to look at Sima Yi, "Zhongda actually knows better in his heart, right?" ”

Sending an ambush soldier to wait for her here is actually not a high obvious cost, the Jizhou military family has a great cause, and a batch of soldiers will be sent after they die, anyway, the rear will eat bran and eat vegetables to support them.

But the hidden cost Chun Yuqiong must also be taken into account - what if Lu Lian can't win this battle again?

What if she waited for work and suddenly rushed out, not only failed to cut off Lu Lian's head, but even gave her another merit?

Failure after defeat will inevitably lead to low morale and low morale of the army.

"Chun Yuqiong is an indecisive person," Sima Yi admitted, "if I had used troops, I would not have sent only 3,000 troops from the front. ”

"Zhongda sees a little bit like me," she agreed, "and then what? ”

"I should choose an advantageous terrain and fight a bloody battle with the general."

She continued to nod.

"And then?"

"If we win, our army will pursue the victory, and the husband will make meritorious contributions, at this time!" Sima Yi's voice was much higher.

She sneered, "What if you lose?" ”

"If I am defeated, I will retreat to Puyang," Sima Yi said very scoundrelly, "I have a strong city and a large army, I will not move, what is up to you." ”

She touched her chin and looked up and down at the young staff member who was as fast as lightning and as steady as a turtle.

"You're right," she said, "if Chun Yu Qiong had really made up his mind, he wouldn't have waited by the Yellow River for more than half a year." ”

"However, there is one more thing, and the general should be cautious."

"What?"

Sima Yi touched his chin, "Although this is rumored, the general must not be guarded against." ”

Chun Yuqiong is a defensive general, and it will not be difficult to defeat him, but his number of soldiers and horses is already equal to hers, and with the possibility of reinforcements and his shrinking tactics, her soldiers may suffer more casualties than she expects.

Therefore, she further studied this old colleague of Boss Cao and Yuan Benchu, and made some predictions about him:

He always had a hard time making the decision to attack, and always wanted to avoid a head-on duel, for example, he would attack tentatively with a small force, and for example, he would be tempted to kill her with surprise soldiers, and if all else failed, he would bring out all the private soldiers in the eastern camps and fight for him.

This is also the reason why Lu Hangyu did not attack those camps one by one, she was very patient, and slowly put pressure on Chun Yuqiong.

When this pressure exceeds the threshold he can bear, the general is likely to make some stupid moves, such as dragging the camps out and into the mud.

After thinking about these things, she felt that she almost had a last resort.

But Sima Yi said:

"Does the general know that Cao Cao has not yet traveled west?"

Chapter 512

"Cao Cao is in the camp opposite?"

Sima Yi shook his head gently, "I don't know." ”

She stared at him suspiciously, as if she wanted to pull out some secret hidden under the feathers from his smooth face, but Sima Yi saw her gaze and immediately smiled bitterly.

"How can you hide it in the future?"

"You hide a lot," she said casually, "and hide everything." ”

It is actually very wrong to bring in Sima Yi's little problem of lying flat and eating alone every day, because this kind of talk is not suitable for the lord and courtiers to say, but except in wartime, she often looks like this kind of majesty, so Sima Yi's flexible neck immediately began to swing from side to side, desperately denying it.

"General, I have never had much friendship with Chun Yuqiong."

"Then how do you know that Cao Cao never traveled west?"

"Not only did he not pass Tongguan, but he didn't even enter Xingyang, isn't this proof?"

Where Cao Cao is, Sima Yi is not clear, he can't be sure of the current position of this hero, who can fight on the horse and write poems on the horse, can only be inferred through some details.

For example, when Cao Cao killed Xu You, the Yellow River had not yet been frozen, and the north bank of the Yellow River was completely controlled by Yuan Shaojun, which was also the best time for him to hurry, and Sima was born in Hanoi, if Cao Cao passed through Hanoi, there would definitely be a letter to him.

Sima Yi wrote frequently, and every family that remained in Hanoi denied the matter, so he had to accept the fact that although Yuan Shao drove Cao Cao to Chang'an for a decisive battle with Liu Bei, Cao Cao was not prepared to actually become the general of the expedition to the west.

So the next question is: what does Cao Cao want to do if he stays in Jizhou?

He had only a thousand soldiers, which was shabby, but he still had thousands of men to follow, and he had a lot of money, which was more than enough to arm an army, and he was able to recover from his panic and observe the battlefield calmly.

Tents are not insulated.

Lu Hangyu therefore ignored some of Sima Yi's inappropriate behaviors.

…… For example, he was getting closer to the brazier, and even though he was still sitting on the brazier, he kept putting his hands together to roast it, and then moved his feet under his buttocks with a desire to move the whole seat, so that the whole seat moved forward with his small movements, and slowly came to the brazier.

"In other words, Cao Cao may not take over Chun Yuqiong's soldiers and horses at the beginning."

"Yes," said Sima Yi, "either by taking advantage of Chun's decline in power, or by using clever words to force him to surrender his military power." ”

Most of the upper-level officers in the Jizhou army are old to Cao Cao, just like Chun Yuqiong, everyone started from Luoyang, and they have fought side by side several times along the way, and even about in-laws.

Even if some of them don't deal with Cao Cao, as long as they judge the situation and size up the situation, they will not rise up to resist when Chun Yuqiong is controlled.

But this is just the thoughts of those lieutenant generals, those captains, and those sons of the family.

She stretched out two cold hands to rub her face, and wanted to ask Sima Yi Even if Cao Cao seized military power and controlled the upper-level officers, could the middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers in the Jizhou army still trust him?
