Ao Lie smiled indifferently: "The Zhou army sent troops to ambush to prevent our army from supporting General Lu, and the march of the army will inevitably be blocked, even if our army does not disclose the marching route, as long as there are people who are good at military affairs, carefully calculate, it is not difficult to guess the route of the march, once we find out the place where our army must pass and set up an ambush in advance, we can be caught off guard, at least it can slow down the march." ”

Yu Da's expression gradually became solemn, Ao Lie said well, climbing the mountain, crossing the river, you have to follow the mountain road or bridge, such a must pass, even if it is not public, you know that the merchant army will definitely pass, he said: "According to what the general said, we should speed up the march, and try to rush to Bishui Pass to meet General Lu as soon as possible before the Zhou army learns the news and sends troops to block it." ”

"Nope. Ao Lie shook his head and said: "Not only can we not speed up the march, but we must also slow down the march, and according to what Your Majesty said, we will publish the march route in the press and make it public, not afraid that the Zhou army will know, but afraid that they will not know!"

Yu Da is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he understood: "General Li is saying that His Majesty's intention to publish the marching route in the press is actually to come up with a plan, so that the Zhou army thinks that it can ambush and intercept it, but in fact it has fallen into our trap and calculation of the enemy, and has been ambushed by us?"

Ao Lie nodded approvingly: "Yes, this is Your Majesty's calculation, even if General Lu is defeated, after joining forces with the soldiers and horses of the north and south, he still has a military advantage, which is enough to continue the westward expedition, and because of this, General Lu does not have any intention of withdrawing his troops, but is more cautious, stationed outside the Bishui Pass to rectify the troops and horses, and wait for the convergence of the three roads." ”

At this time, Yin Rui gradually understood, and added: "It is actually useless for us to lead the army to support General Lu, the western expedition is not to be able to return victorious with more of our soldiers and horses, and once the imperial expedition is unfavorable, the offensive will be blocked again, but it will be the same as you said before, in vain, and the prestige of Your Majesty will be damaged in vain." ”

"But why did Your Majesty insist on the expedition in person? Could it be that he forcibly terminated the western expedition and personally brought General Lu back?"

"This is naturally impossible, what Your Majesty is planning is to lure the enemy to attack in the name of support on the way to Bishui Pass, what the Western Expedition army lacks now is not food and grass, not soldiers and horses, but morale, and victory, as long as you win a beautiful battle and drum up morale, you will let the Zhou army have no return!"

The generals listened with enthusiasm, they had seen Ao Lie and Yin's dilapidated martial arts, but they didn't expect to have such a vision, and they almost didn't think about it, so they responded hello, Your Majesty is really clever, and he has considered so many things? !

Yu Da was very calm-headed, and when he saw this scene, he understood that Ao Lie and Yin Rui had established a core position among this group of Tongguan generals, and he naturally did not stop this.

However, if you want to ambush the Zhou army, you have to think about it carefully, so he said seriously: "This thing is said lightly, it is not easy to really implement, how many soldiers will the Zhou army send to ambush, where will the ambush be set up, we don't know all of this, what if we accidentally make it self-defeating? When the time comes, it will not be able to boost morale, but it will be a defeat, not only will it be a shame to be a laughing stock, but it will also lose its troops, and even the western expedition will become more difficult." ”

Yu Da's words made Ao Lie very happy, the one-man show was naturally not good, some people objected, and some people provoked, so that it was convenient for him to better show his ability to figure out the holy will.

"General Yu's concerns are right, this matter must not be careless, it needs to be carefully discussed and then decided, Your Majesty wants us to discuss, that is, to discuss this matter, the general direction of Your Majesty has been done, the remaining details, naturally by our generals to improve, if the strategic deployment and marching route are published in the newspaper today, even if the Zhou army gets the news, it will take two or three days, and then count the time of the light army of the Zhou army, we have enough time to discuss countermeasures. ”

Yu Da also said: " If the Zhou army wants to continue the eastward expedition through the five passes, it is bound to put most of the troops in the Bishui Pass, and the army travels, the time is very long, if too many soldiers and horses are sent, the march is slow, even if the ambush is easy to find, so it will inevitably only send a small group of soldiers and horses, at most slightly more than the soldiers and horses led by Lei Zhenzi before, after all, the number of soldiers and horses is not important, the important thing is to pick a favorable terrain that is convenient for ambush and raid, so as to kill us by surprise....”

He was suddenly silent, and only after a while did he say: "In fact, there is no perfect way, if this battle is to be fought, it is a tough battle, and we can only be regarded as having a heart or not, and being more prepared." ”

Ao Lie waved his hand and said: "There is no battle that can be won absolutely, we are prepared for the worst, even if the anti-ambush fails, we must strive to evacuate as quickly as possible, but General Yu does not have to worry too much, with His Majesty in the army, just straighten your chest, I am a great merchant and the monarch and minister work together, and there is no need to be afraid of any enemy." ”

Ao Lie's words immediately dispelled Yu Da's concerns.

Yes, there's the King of the Rings!

It's just that the prestige of Ao Lie and Yin is erected, and their status is determined, the commander of this soldier and horse, the real leader of the army, is the king who seems to be singing and dancing in this tent, but in fact it is unfathomable!

Since the king has already calculated to this extent, is there anything they don't worry about?

Yu Da's eyes lit up immediately, not to mention ten percent, at least seventy percent of the chance of success, which is enough for a war.

"Okay, General Li, General Yin, since everyone is confident, let's just call the generals and all the generals in the army over to discuss it now. ”

Ao Lie smiled dumbly: "Don't be in such a hurry, do the first thing well, publish the strategic deployment and marching route in the newspaper, this is the most important step, as for the rest, it's not too late to discuss." ”

Yu Da responded with a smile.

.......

He sang and danced in the tent, and somehow fell asleep.

I don't know what time it was, but Yin's rude-haired and thick voice came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, there is still a moment before the army is about to set off." ”

Zi was stimulated by a spirit, and said lazily: "Delay for another half an hour, if the soldiers are tired of waiting, they will dance ten thousand dances and shout a few more spirits." ”

After lying on the bed for a while, he slowly dressed and freshened up to eat under the service of the maid, and then cleaned up briefly. When I went out, I saw that the soldiers were really dancing ten thousand dances, hundreds of camp tents had already been packed up, and the army was ready to go.

It dragged on for half an hour, and the sky was just getting bright, and it was obvious that the soldiers got up before dawn.

Zishou rubbed his chin, his military appearance was good, and he danced well this morning.

After yawning, he ordered the herald beside him to wave the banner and the army set off.
