Walking to the back tent of the barracks, Li Chengsheng quietly asked, "What is the matter with the general who is called here alone?"

Yan Jitai Bazar relieved his nerves, and then said: "To be honest, I am indeed a little worried that Tang Zhan sent such a provocative war letter...... Although 20,000 horses is not comparable to our army, it is not a small number, if you make good use of the strategy of marching and robbing the camp, the number of men and horses is enough. What's more, he also has Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei and other fierce generals under his account, with the magic skills of ten thousand enemies, if he is hasty, will he fall for their scheme?"

Li Chengsheng thought about it, took the letter in Yan Jitai's hand, re-read it and said: "The letter said that they will cross the cage lake tomorrow to take your life, if this is true, this plan must also be true." 20,000 horses have been stationed at the Qiling Pass for a whole day, and the military formation is neat and correct, and they can raid our army at any time. Since it's going to be tomorrow night, you must be prepared for such a long time...... Speaking of preparation, and to cross the cage lake, the only possibility is to prepare the warships of the navy to cross the river, just like the first battle, Rongwu waved the navy...... If this is the case, as long as we strengthen the guard on the shore of the cage lake, and forcibly block the enemy's naval formation, our army is overwhelming, as long as the defense is done properly, we will definitely be able to press them into the cage lake and not move forward, so you don't have to worry......"

However, Yan Jitai still didn't seem to be at ease, although he was eager to kill Tang Zhan and Lu Jing with his own hands, but he was also extremely careful about dealing with them. He was also good at scheming, and he was constantly figuring out the intentions of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's actions, and after thinking about it for a while, Yan Jitai shook his head lightly and said: "This is not good, the plan of the military advisor is too ordinary, and since it is ordinary, everyone can think of it." He Tang Zhan can also think of ...... To deal with this enemy, we will come up with a surprise strategy, and we will be able to break the enemy's army with one plan, and completely break the opponent's army's heart at one time-"

"It would be nice if there really was such a plan, but Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others are not stupid......" Li Chengsheng had nothing to do in this regard.

"Who said no?" However, Yan Jitai suddenly turned around and said. It seems that this time he has a good plan in mind to break the enemy, "In the words of the Han people, there is a trick of 'planning will be calculated'-"

"Will the plan be calculated?" Li Chengsheng didn't react for a while, what was going on.

Yan Jitai smiled slightly, and then raised his voice and said: "Pass the order, and return a reply letter from the Tang War Military Department, the content of which is determined by the general himself...... In addition, at the end of the day, the whole army will come to my account, and this general will make a plan for tomorrow's response to the enemy-"

After all, Yan Jitai is also a veteran strategist. In terms of strategy, Li Chengsheng, who has followed him for many years, also understands. Now that Yan Jitai has said such confident words, he must have a clever plan......

At the moment of Shen, the Tang War Vanguard Military Department ......

"Hurry up, hurry up, get those guys on the boat-" In the cage lake position in front of the barracks, rows of neat and orderly warships are in full swing, looking at this look, Tang Zhan's army is really as stated in the previous letter to the enemy. Tomorrow we will cross the river with a naval army.

Tang Zhan, as the commander-in-chief, was naturally the position command office standing in front of the cage lake. Meticulously watched the arrangement of the fleet. Lu Jing also stood beside him, and it was Lu Jing who took the initiative to give Yan Jitai Bazar a lot of war books and disturb his army's minds, but now the only people who know the true meaning of this plan are Lu Jing, Tang Zhan and Lao Jiu......

Tang Zhan looked at the warship in front of him, his eyes fluctuating. It seems to be thoughtful. After watching it for a long time, Tang Zhan opened his mouth and said to Lu Jing: "Jing'er, can this plan really be successful......?

Lu Jing smiled lightly and responded softly: "Don't worry, although Yan Jitai Bazado doesn't take our army seriously. But there must be lingering palpitations for the two of us, after all, on the night General Rongwu was defeated, the 'return gift' I gave to Yan Jitai was enough for him to remember us......" Lu Jing also mentioned that on the night of Rongwu's defeat, he used a plan to eat 2,000 elite soldiers of Meng Yuan, and returned the head of Chewutai to Yan Jitai, and Yan Jitai also killed his general Zhang Yuexing in a fit of anger. It was also that blow that Yan Jitai Bazado completely remembered Tang Zhan and Lu Jing.

"But what if the main force of Yan Jitai is strictly guarded on the shore of the cage lake, then won't our strategy be in vain?" Tang Zhan still asked worriedly.

"He wouldn't do that-" Lu Jing smiled confidently, "He has an army of 70,000 with high morale, and our army is only 20,000 temporarily guarding the pass...... Besides, Yan Jitai has lingering feelings about the two of us, and he will definitely not look at this matter simply, if I guess correctly, he will do what I expected, and it will not be long before he will send us this news in the form of a war letter, just like the war letter we gave them......"

As he spoke, a man quickly walked from behind the position. This person is wearing a silver helmet and battle armor, the cloak is majestic, the double swords are hung on the waist, and the body is mighty, who is not Zhao Zichuan?

Zhao Zichuan didn't know Lu Jing's plan before, and when he saw Tang Zhan ordering the military department to prepare the warship, Zhao Zichuan knew that Lu Jing had a plan in his heart, but he didn't tell himself, so he hurriedly came to ask for an understanding.

"Hey, Sister Jing-" Zhao Zichuan did not shy away from speaking, quickly ran behind Lu Jing, and asked loudly, "What do you mean by this? We only have 20,000 horses, not only are we not good at defending it, but we are also ready to take the initiative to go on the expedition, and it is also the way of the sailor army that was defeated by Rongwu before?"

Lu Jing smiled, didn't look back at Zhao Zichuan, and said in a mocking tone: "You big fool, you have always been able to turn your brain only halfway, and I finally didn't let you go on the expedition and asked you to take good care of your sister-in-law, but you refused to ......"

"There is a battle, how can you not let me go?" Zhao Zichuan was still the belligerent character in the past, turned to Lu Jing's body, and said, "Even if the navy goes out, I, Zhao Zichuan, will be the head army!"

"Why are you in a hurry, it will take another day for the navy to prepare...... Besides, this time the navy army will go on the expedition, and I will have another candidate, as for you...... I have other things to arrange......" Lu Jing said half-visibly.

Just as there was a lot of discussion, there was a movement on the side of the cage lake position-a small boat sailing from the Mengyuan enemy army approached Tang Zhan's army, and was stopped by the soldiers on board. Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and the others saw it, and immediately ran over to observe the situation.

Since the person who came was a lonely boat, needless to say, it was naturally a messenger sent from the Mengyuan military camp. It's the same as the battle book that Lu Jing sent to Yan Jitai before. This is another reply letter returned by Yan Jitai Bazado to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing......

"General, it's a letter repatriated by the enemy-" The soldier in charge took the letter from the hands of the envoy of Meng Yuan, and then ran back to hand it to Tang Zhan.

"Sure enough, they sent a reply-" Lu Jing said first.

"Isn't it, isn't it strange that he doesn't get angry and ruin when he gives such a provocation to Yan Jitai?" Tang Zhan teased as he opened the letter.

Open the letter and seem. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing understood Yan Jitai Bazado's intentions......

"What is written on it?" Zhao Zichuan couldn't see the content of the letter, and asked the two in a hurry.

After reading the letter, Tang Zhan crumpled the paper into a ball and pinched it in the palm of his hand. After a while, Tang Zhan said with a serious face: "Yan Jitai replied that they agreed to our army's request and led the army to retreat ten miles, so that our army could cross the cage lake and defend the camp......"

When Lu Jing saw this, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth......

"What?" Zhao Zichuan, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't figure it out, and said loudly and doubtfully, "It's just a small provocation that scares him like this? He claims to have a 70,000-strong army guarding the Qiling Pass, and our military region has 20,000 troops, so he has no reason to take the initiative to retreat -- he is not even afraid of General Chang Yuchun's 100,000 troops, and he is still afraid of us? Among them, there must be a ...... of deception."

"Of course—" Lu Jing said with a smile. "But that's exactly what I expected, because Yan Jitai is good at reading the hearts of others. He's going to do it...... Fool, you go and inform the generals of all departments to come to the main camp for a meeting tonight, and prepare for dealing with the Xuzhou army tomorrow night!"

"Okay Jing'er—" Tang Zhan replied crisply, then turned around and prepared to give the order.

"It's going to be tomorrow night, is it true? It was the navy that crossed the other side of the cage lake......" Zhao Zichuan kept asking.

"You'll find out tomorrow night......" Lu Jing responded with a mysterious smile......

At the end of the day, there was fog in the night, and in the Mengyuan tent, it was in full swing......

Directly in front of the camp, there is a map of the stronghold of Qiling Pass. On both sides are the guards of various units of the Xuzhou army. Yan Jitai held the whip in his hand, stood in front of the strategic map, pointed out the main points of the map and said: "Tomorrow, the Tang War Army will have 20,000 troops, and the naval army will cross the cage lake and attack our army's camp. This plan must be a cover-up plan, beware of deception, our army will retreat ten miles tonight-"

The first sentence was to retreat, and the generals below were a little unhappy. Tan Youhu, who had always been belligerent, couldn't look at it, and was the first to say: "My lord, our army has 70,000 elite soldiers, and the morale is booming, is it necessary to avoid them? No matter how shrewd he Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are, there are only 20,000 remnants, what is there to fear?"

"That's—" said another general, "we set up an ambush on the shore to wait for the enemy's 20,000 troops to come, and with the advantage of the terrain and the overwhelming number of people, it is not a problem to stop the naval army."

Li Chengsheng didn't speak, just listened to Yan Jitai's narration wholeheartedly, and looked at the map in front of him. Yan Jitai Baza smiled slightly, and then said: "Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are not simple, and they can't start with common sense. Setting up an ambush on the shore and waiting for them in formation, they would not have thought of it? Moreover, defending by ambush is often passive, and if you really want to defeat the other side, you must take the initiative to attack!"

"But after retreating ten miles, where did you take the initiative?" Tan Youhu continued to ask.

Yan Jitai smiled lightly......

At the same time, the Tang battalion was ......

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing explained tomorrow's route together, and similarly, the generals of each department were also sitting on both sides of the camp......

"Sister Jing, what is the decision to go on the expedition tomorrow?" As soon as he came up, Zhao Zichuan asked bluntly.

Lu Jing stood tall with her head held high, holding the whip in her hand and said: "Just like the plan to send the book to Yan Jitai, cross the cage lake with a naval warship——"

Zhao Zichuan listened, stood up and said: "That is the case, the last general is willing to lead the main force of the naval army to attack it head-on!"

However, without waiting for Zhao Zichuan to come to him, Lu Jing stopped him first: "Don't worry, this time the navy will go on the expedition, and there will be another candidate for the commander-"

"I'm not going, is it General Nangong Murong?" Zhao Zichuan set his eyes on Nangong Jun and Murong Fei again, because in addition to himself, the commander of the army was only Nangong Murong and the others.

"No-" Lu Jing replied, "There are two generals for the navy to go out this time...... That's Brother Xiao and Sister Su—"

"We?" Xiao Tian and Su Jia asked at the same time, because no one would have thought that the main general who would lead the naval army on the expedition. It is not Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun or Murong Fei who have made outstanding military achievements, but it will be Xiao Su and the others who have just arrived in the military camp.

Everyone couldn't help but cast incredible glances at Xiao Tian and Su Jia......

In the Mengyuan camp......

"It's good to retreat ten miles, but someone still has to observe the situation of the camp of the Langhu Naval Army, after all, the Tang Zhan army crossed the river with a naval army, and the real intention is ......unknown," Yan Jitai continued to say to the generals.

"Then my lord, since you said that you want to take the initiative, what kind of initiative method?" Tan Youhu continued to ask.

Yan Jitai smiled. glanced at Li Chengsheng beside him, and then continued: "The military advisor once said that it is the plan to defeat an army of 100,000 in one plan...... In the past, when dealing with Chang Yuchun, he used this clever plan not to move the battle of ten thousand troops, but to retreat his 100,000 army, just because he seized the enemy's vital point and burned the enemy's main force of grain and grass; Our army must also seize the enemy's vital points, as long as it is to be crushed, and the enemy army will not attack itself-"

"What do you think is the key point of the enemy this time?" asked another general.

Yan Jitai smiled again, took the whip and circled the key area of the map, and then turned his head and asked: "Do you still want to ask me about this? The 20,000 main naval army crossed the cage lake and hit the stone with eggs, where is the key point?"

"Qiling Pass—" This time, the generals replied at the same time.

Li Chengsheng saw it. He replied, "Is this your true intention, my lord?"

Yan Jitai tapped on the map with a whip, and then returned to a serious expression. The order said: "Besu Kozan, General Balin Tuo Eryu listen to the order-"

"The last general—" replied Besu and the two generals of the eight neighbors.

"The two of you will lead 5,000 cavalry, and together with General Tan Youhu, you will go around the mountain road and drive the enemy's rear camp-" Yan Jitai Yizheng said in a rhetorical manner, "The main force of our army retreats for ten miles, and when the enemy's naval army lands, the reconnaissance unit sends a signal." General Tan Youhu, Besu Kezhan, and Badin Tuo Eryu immediately led 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture the enemy's rear camp at the Qiling Pass...... Wait until you get to the front and back, and finally flank the main force of the local cage lake navy army-"

"Order—" the three generals replied at the same time.

Tan Youhu knew the truth of this plan, and said with a smile: "It turns out that adults already have a plan in their hearts, and they will plan it with a false plan. The main force of the place of deception is approaching. Our army pretended to retreat, but in fact sent elite troops to outflank the rear battalion, using a plan to trap it, it seems that this time Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others are going to repeat the defeat of Rongwu——"

Yan Jitai smiled and said nothing, this plan was out, Yan Jitai was determined to let the main force of the Tang War Vanguard Army be buried in the Qiling Mountain Range......

Tang Zhan Camp ......

Lu Jing ordered the command of the navy, but he was a little sluggish, playing with some copper coins in his hand while thinking about things.

Although the generals below did not know Lu Jing's intentions, Lu Jing assisted Tang Zhan to lead the troops along the way, and it has always been a clever calculation, so everyone also trusts Lu Jing.

Tang Zhan saw that Lu Jing still seemed to have doubts in his heart, so he leaned over and asked softly, "What are you thinking, Jing'er?"

Lu Jing gently tapped the table with a copper coin, and couldn't help sighing: "The previous defeats of Rongwu and Chang Yuchun were all because they were hit by the enemy because of the vital points, so they were caught off guard...... Every army has its vital points, and we are no exception -- I wonder where the vital points of our army will be......"

Tang Zhan thought about it, he usually didn't make good use of tricks, but this time he seemed to have figured everything out. Tang Zhan smiled and said: "The key points are not simple, the enemy army wants to know the key points of our army, and he must want to cut off the chain of our army's normal deployment...... Jing'er, think about it carefully, where is the key to the chain of our army's continuous operations?"

After hearing this, Lu Jing used a thin rope to pass the copper coin in his hand through the center of the hole and connect it together. Immediately, Lu Jing seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile: "You are right, the place that can string together the hearts of all conditions is the key to our army, and it is also the key point that the enemy wants to directly attack our army——"

Tang Zhan smiled and nodded.

Lu Jing stood up again and continued to give orders to the generals: "The commander of the naval army will be Xiao Su and the others, that is, I will deploy the generals and other important tasks-"

Everyone in the camp concentrated and listened carefully to Lu Jing's dispatch...... (To be continued......)
