In a few days, the army led by Zishou was only forty miles away from Bishui Pass.

Suddenly, Zishou woke up from his dream, asked where he was in a daze, and invited Lu Renjie.

Lu Renjie immediately urged him to step forward and said to Zishou: "Your Majesty, eighteen miles ahead, it is the place where the old general is stationed, and the two armies are combined, so you might as well send someone to deliver the letter first, so that the old general can welcome Your Majesty." ”

Lu Renjie knew that the king of the Zhou carried the pot of defeat for Lu Xiong, and he was grateful in his heart, he couldn't do anything else, and he would definitely do everything to meet this kind of thing, and give the face of the king of the Xu.

"It's not proper!" Zishou shook his head and looked around: "Have you sent a scout horse to investigate the nearby terrain?"

"Yes, General Li has already sent out a scout. Lu Renjie replied: "This place is the only mountain forest outside the Bishui Pass, and the old general wanted to garrison here after the defeat of the old general, but this place is still a little far away from the Bishui Pass, so he gave up." ”

Zishou groaned and said: "Since this place is the only mountain forest outside the Bishui Pass, why don't you camp here, the left and right backs are all mountains, and only one side is affected by the enemy, isn't it foolproof?"

Retreat from the army, just show up and run away, and take the defense as the top.

"This..." Lu Renjie's face was embarrassed, camping in the mountains and forests, although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they were going westward! Conquest and conquest were naturally mainly attacking, so how could there be a reason to fall into the defensive position before attacking?

"Spread my will, camp on the spot, company camp, and set up camp for me for 800 miles!"

Lu Renjie obeyed the order, and he was about to give the order, this appearance made Zishou feel confused, is it okay to camp for eight hundred miles?

Liu Bei set up a company camp for seven or eight hundred miles, and was burned by Lu Xun, the fire company camp is so famous, can it be a stupid move?

With the ability that Lu Renjie showed before, he shouldn't have failed to see it! If you don't break through the shortcomings, how can I get rid of your misunderstanding that I use soldiers like gods, and how can the subsequent retreat go smoothly?

Thinking of this, Zishou called Lu Renjie over again: "General Lu, I don't know the soldiers, look at it, is there something wrong with the eight-hundred-mile company camp?"

Lu Renjie was stunned for a moment, you said that you set up camp, and you said that there was a problem, if you felt that there was a problem, what kind of camp did you order?

However, he only dared to think about it in his heart, and on the surface, he still responded honestly: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with this company camp. ”

No problem? How can it be okay?

Is it that no one has set up a company camp, so Lu Renjie can't notice it?

Zishou coughed lightly and tried to take Lu Renjie in the direction he wanted: "Look at it, it's early autumn, the weather is dry, and it's easy to catch fire...."

"Your Majesty said yes. Lu Renjie nodded: "At the end, the general will send an order to the soldiers to take measures to set fire to prevent flooding." ”

That's it? Don't criticize it? The company camp is easy to burn, is it a stupid trick?

Zishou continued to induce: "The battalion is connected from end to end, if the enemy army fires ....."

"This is a precautionary measure, but if a large number of enemy troops can cross the guard post and approach our camp, it will be difficult to deal with without setting fire. ”

Why are you so unreasonable?

After thinking about it, Zishou decided to say directly: "General Lu, I just said that this company camp is more vulnerable to fire attack than ordinary large battalions, it is really unwise, I..."

Lu Renjie understood, this must be His Majesty testing himself, and he was inevitably a little excited in his heart, when he asked for the order to send a letter to the King of Zhou, he didn't have some thoughts of brushing his face in front of the King of Zhou and showing some thoughts, after all, he is a related household that has not taken the normal imperial examination, and it is easy to be looked down on by reputation alone.

Thinking about this, Lu Renjie let go and said: "Your Majesty, where is this, no matter what kind of camp it is, the first thing is to guard against fire attacks, the camp tent is flammable, the camp tent is easy to burn when it is connected at the end, and the camp tent where the regiment is together, isn't it easy to burn?"

Listening to Lu Renjie's tirade, Zishou was inexplicable, how could it be? How could there be no problem?

It's a pity that he doesn't know the soldiers, and he can't say why.

Bishui Pass.

A herald soldier reported to Nangong Shiyu: "General, the king is here, and now he is leading a large army to camp. ”

Nangong Shi sat at the table and closed his eyes and pondered, listening to the words of the herald, the hand that was originally on his knee couldn't help but tighten, and he twitched a few times in a row, and it took a long time before he slowly let go.

Even when facing Dou Rong and Lu Xiong before, Nangong Shi had never been so nervous, because this time he was facing the King of Xu.

He slowly opened his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Order three or five rides, and General Lei Zhenzi and I will go to have a look." ”

Soon, Nangong Shi and Lei Zhenzi took three or five horses and quickly ran towards the mountains and forests, without approaching, looking from afar, they could see the merchant army that was camping.

"It seems that you can't take advantage of the situation. ”

Lei Zhenzi shook his head, looked at the merchant army that was constantly patrolling, and extinguished his mind to attack while the camp was not stable.

Seeing the posture of the merchant army, Nangong Shi couldn't help frowning, and said: "The king is really difficult, this is not an ordinary camp, but a company camp. ”

"Company battalion, what does this mean?" Lei Zhenzi didn't understand very well.

Nangong Shi explained: "The camp is connected from end to end, one ring after another, one is hit, and all the rescues are carried out, if our army wants to break through the camp, it must pass all the way and advance all the way, even if it can be taken, the loss will not be small." ”

Lei Zhenzi asked: "Since the company camp has such a function, why don't you use it often?" I think there must be an easy way to crack it. ”

"Yes. Nangong Shi looked at the camp and nodded slowly: "The enemy camp has been consolidated, but the position is fixed and cannot be changed. ”

"The deployment of this company and battalion, although extremely precise, is very difficult to break, but our army only needs to rely on the Bishui Pass, shrink to defend, wait for the opportunity, first use the method of delaying time, drag down the morale of the merchant army, and then deploy and attack its military camp, remove it at a fixed point, and then use people to lead a small group of soldiers and horses to shuttle through the mountains and forests to attack behind the merchant army. ”

"Such a flanking attack from the beginning to the end, so that the front army fell into chaos, so that it could not be interlocked, and then increased the chaos with fire attacks, divided the station, and forced the merchant army to fight, and the set up military camp could not rely on to hold on, and if you wanted to get out of the sea of fire, you could only go out of the camp to fight, while our army could wait for the rabbit, attack with all your strength, and annihilate the opponent in one breath. ”

Lei Zhenzi said strangely: "Since there is a way to deal with it, why is the general worried?"

"It's not that simple. Nangong Shi sighed lightly: "The king of Xuan is not the king of Zhou, this company camp has a way to crack it, but what about the soldiers and horses led by Lu Xiong?"

"The two roads of soldiers and horses have not joined forces, the troops in Bishui Pass are insufficient, it is not easy to launch an offensive against a camp, how can it be possible to attack two places together, if it is according to this method, Lu Xiong will inevitably immediately lead troops to press, and when the time comes, it will be us!"

Lei Zhenzi nodded yes, but he almost forgot about Lu Xiong's department.

"But..."Suddenly, Lei Zhenzi thought of something: "There is more than enough to defend, but the attack is insufficient, although the camp here is solid, it is difficult to take it before the elder brother's army arrives, but it is inconvenient to attack, doesn't the king of Xuan want to take back Bishui Pass?"

"That's what puzzled me the most. ”

Nangong Shi shook his head, also confused about this.

King Su is like this, as if he is waiting for someone, is he planning to wait for the soldiers and horses of the north and south that Lu Xiong previously divided, waiting for the main force of the Zhou army to arrive, and the two armies will fight in a dignified manner, and divide the victory and defeat?

I always feel a little uneasy....
