Li Mu, together with Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Wang Ping, Jiang Yin, Ning Sui, Pan Feng, and Mu Shun, as well as more than 17,000 soldiers, escorted the captured materials and set off from Huqiu Pavilion in Hedong County.

The Liangzhou army stopped all the way, passing through Dongyuan, Wenxi, Anyi, Yanjian, and Yishi in Hedong County. At dusk that day, the army came to Laishui, Xie County, Hedong County.

Li Mu saw that it was getting late and the army was a little tired, so he immediately ordered the army to rest on the shore of Laishui, and ordered the army to bury the pot and make rice, and then set off for the west after dawn.

Li Mu jumped off the red dragon and strolled to the shore of Laishui. Li Mu looked around casually, and Li Mu's face was cold, his eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth crossed a trace of coldness.

"Where is General Fu?"

Li Mu stared at the water under his feet and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Qi, General Fu and General Wang are arranging the camp!" Li Mu's personal guards hurriedly replied.

"The army continues to encamp!"

Li Mu was still staring at the water under his feet, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send the seven generals such as Lingdian, Wang, Fu, and Jiang to come here!" ”

After about a hundred breaths, Dian Wei, Wang Ping, Fu Yan, and Pan Feng came to the shore of Laishui one after another.

"My lord, the army is encamped here......"

Dian Wei, Wang Ping, and Fu Yan saw the solemn face of their lord. The seven of them looked at each other, and Dian Wei hesitated: "But what's wrong?" ”

"What do you think?"

Li Mu turned around, looked at the seven Dian Wei, and asked with a solemn expression.

"Lord!"

Ning Sui glanced around Laishui again, and then muttered: "The terrain here is open, and the terrain is higher than the Laishui waterbank, so my subordinates really can't see it...... What's wrong. Please also make it clear! ”

"What Ning said in the army is reasonable!"

Fu Yan also looked at the surrounding terrain a few times, then took over the conversation and said loudly: "With the terrain of this place, even if the enemy army wants to sneak attack our army, it is really difficult. Before the enemy approaches our army, our army's secret outpost can detect it. ”

"Can the child be thoughtful?"

Li Mu saw Wang Ping's eyebrows locked for a while, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Lord, wait a minute!"

Wang Ping came back to his senses, replied to Li Mu, and then strode to the shore of Laishui.

"Please punish the Lord!"

Wang Ping squatted down, looked at the water line of Laishui, then stood up suddenly, gave a salute to Li Mu, and reached the ground on one knee, and said in a deep voice with a guilty face: "I can't do anything well!" almost put the lord in danger, please surrender the lord! ”

"Zijun, please get up! It's really my general! ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward and helped Wang Ping with both hands. Li Mu saw that everyone was dazed and ashamed, and then laughed loudly: "It is really the idea of my commander to set up camp here. What kind of sin are you? Brothers, don't blame yourselves! ”

Li Mu's earnest persuasion made Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Wang Ping, Pan Feng, and Mu Shun respectful, moved, and ashamed!

At this moment, Fu Tong and Ning Sui already understood a little in their hearts, and the enemy army was afraid that they were ambushing in the upper reaches of Laishui. Dian Wei and Jiang Jian also understood Wang Ping's extra-string sounds.

"The two of us are stupid ......"

Pan Feng and Mu Shun were still at a loss. The two glanced at each other, and Pan Feng hesitated: "Please also ask General Zijun to make it clear." ”

"You two don't know, a few days ago, when our army passed through Laishui, there was thin ice on the surface of Laishui."

"Today's climate is getting colder every day. But at this time...... Not only did the water not freeze. On the contrary, the water level of Laishui has dropped by a full four feet! ”

"From this point of view, someone cut off the Laishui upstream with the intention of flooding our army here. This man is really calculating. ”

Wang Ping was born without smiling, and then said in a solemn voice.

"What General Zijun said is reasonable!"

Mu Shun quite agreed with Wang Ping's analysis, but he still asked the doubts in his heart, "It's just...... How can the enemy assert ...... Will our army set up camp here? ”

"When the army marches long distances, in order to ensure water for people and animals, it is necessary to camp near the water source."

"From Huqiu Pavilion to Chiyangwu Fort, there are two places where our army can garrison. One is Xie County in the lower reaches of Laishui, and the other is Linjin in the lower reaches of Luoshui. ”

"Nowadays, our army escorts grain and grass, and the speed of marching is naturally limited. Laishui and Luoshui, our army will inevitably garrison troops in one of them. ”

"Therefore, the enemy only needs to ambush the upper reaches of these two places, and if our army is not prepared, it will definitely be trapped."

"As far as Ping can see, the person who set up this plan is not under Xu Junshi's wisdom!"

Wang Ping had already made up his mind in his heart, and then he spoke eloquently.

"What Zijun said is true, this person is indeed good!"

For the person who offered the plan, Li Mu already had a candidate in his heart. Immediately, Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "If I expected it to be true, this person is not here. Otherwise...... How could the person who carried out this plan leak such a flaw! ”

"Lord!"

Under Li Mu's reminder, Wang Ping could see that there were ambushes, but there was no better countermeasure. Therefore, Wang Pingjin said: "As Ping sees, the army can pull out the camp as soon as possible, cross the Laishui, and go to the royal city fifty miles west of here to garrison troops." ”

"Zijun's approach is indeed safe!"

Li Mu first smiled and waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "But...... Come and don't be rude! Since this person values us so much, how can we easily show weakness to others? It's easy to break this plan! ”

"Please also make it clear to the lord!"

Everyone paused, overjoyed, and immediately asked in unison.

"If the enemy wants to defeat our army, he will definitely divide his troops into two ways. After the embankment in the upper reaches of Laishui bursts, the front and middle battalions of our army will naturally cease to exist! ”

"Therefore, one of the enemy troops naturally went down by boat and went straight to the rear camp of our army.

The enemy's other route army will follow the Laishui Valley Peak and take our army's rear camp from the land path. ”

"I'll do it! The front and center battalions were left empty and left to be flooded by the enemy.

Our infantry lay in wait for the enemy's waterway army to attack the camp, and the ambush troops will be exhausted, and the enemy army will be defeated.

Our cavalry is lying in wait for the enemy to sneak attack from the land, and when the enemy army sneaks up on the land, they can also defeat the enemy army! ”

When Li Mu found that the water level of Laishui was different, he already had a countermeasure in his heart. At this meeting, Li Mu saw that everyone asked, and then explained one by one in his chest.

"The lord is wise!"

Dian Wei, Wang Ping, Fu Yan, Jiang Yin, Ning Sui, Pan Feng, and Mu Shun thought about it for a long time, and felt that their lord's plan was feasible. Immediately, everyone replied in unison.

"Don't show mercy to the restless!"

"In this battle, if there is the slightest possibility, the enemy army will be wiped out!"

Li Mu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice with murderous intent.

"We will obey the orders of the lord!"
