"Sima, we have entered the boundary of the Baibo Valley." The scout battalion Shiren came to Sima and gave Sima a detailed report of what he had discovered, and Sima immediately told the generals to stop marching and rest in place, and after a short rest and recuperation, they would attack the Baibo army. ”

But before that, he had to follow Shiren to the Baibo barrier in his mouth to see what kind of fortress Shiren was so afraid of.

The fortress built in the valley is really a one-man affair, Liu Lan can understand Shiren's ugly expression, and at this moment, even he has no smile on his face, and said to Shiren on the side in a deep voice: "Can you find a way to find out how many defenders there are in Baibo Valley?" ”

"It's hard, unless you can get in." Shiren frowned, he didn't believe that he could blend in lightly, unless there was an internal response inside, or he was familiar with the details of the white wave thief, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to mix in.

"If the news from Pingyang is true, there must not be many white wave thieves here, but even if there are not many defenders, this is a barrier." Liu Lan shook his head and sighed: "But if Bai Bolei wants to get in, don't say that we only have 3,000 people, even 30,000 people don't think about it." ”

Zhang Zheng frowned and looked at the barrier in front of him: "Yes, if you can bypass the frontal defense, it may still be possible." ”

Liu Lan then looked at the mountains around Baibo Valley, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, there must be a way in this Baibo Valley, if you just send a few scouts into the mountains to look for it, it will be too delayed, and now Liu Lan can't even afford to spend a minute or a second, if you send more people in, he shook his head again, then it is very likely that the white wave thief will find out his whereabouts, and then the white wave thief will be on guard. Then there is no hope for either a frontal or a sneak attack.

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Wu Ke looked at the two of them who were frowning, and wanted to help but had no way. Said with a frown.

Liu Lan knew that he had to be calm now, and only by being calm could he come up with a solution. Impulsiveness will only make things worse, Liu Lan groaned, you can't enter the mountain, and it's best not to attack the city, that's self-defeating martial arts, the survival of the cavalry lies in surprise, in mobility, so how can you lure out the white wave thief?

Now the white wave thieves are like hiding in turtle shells, if they are lured out for a field battle. Then Liu Lan was completely sure, in his past, it was impossible for a rabble like the White Wave Thief to be able to block a few charges from the Dragoon.

Guan Yu saw a smile on Sima's face and asked, "Sima has a way?" ”

"Got some ideas." Liu Lan groaned and said: "That is, no matter who the enemy is, the way to win is to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and now that our dragoons are cavalry and have an advantage in mobility, then we can't abandon our advantages and dismount like the Karasuma people to attack the city." In this way, let alone defeat the White Wave Thief, even the White Wave Valley will not be defeated. ”

"Although Sima is right, but." Zhang Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But how can we lead the White Wave Thief to attack?" ”

"Nope. No, no, you misunderstood what I meant. Liu Lan smiled. "We want to lure them out, but we don't need to dismount and attack Bai Bo Lei." ”

"Sima, I'm confused about what you said."

"yes. Then we don't fight the White Wave Fortress or lead the White Wave Army, so what are we doing here? Zhang Fei and Wu Ke sang and harmonized. The two of them were completely confused, looking at the two of them, Liu Lan smiled and said: "We are here to solve the danger of Pingyang, and don't we have to lay down the white wave base?" ”

"But if you don't defeat the White Wave Base, how can you let the White Wave Army return to the division?" Li Xiang was also a little confused.

"If you lead your troops to attack Pingyang now, if you know that Bai Bo Lei has been lost, will you continue to attack Pingyang or will you choose to return to the division to recapture Bai Bo Lei?" Liu Lan thought that no one would choose the latter at this time, but he overestimated his subordinates too much, the answer was open, and the choice to return to the division to rescue and the choice to continue the attack were extremely clear, but there was no need to think about it, those who chose to return to the division to take revenge were all Zhang Fei Wuke's violent temper, at best, they were generals who fought on the battlefield, and those who chose to continue to attack Pingyang, and then return to the division to recapture Bai Bolei after Pingyang was defeated were mainly Zhang Zheng Guan Yu, these people have a strategic vision, and understand that once they give up attacking Pingyang and return to Bai Bolei instead, they are likely to fall into a dilemma. If you can't say it, you will be attacked from both sides and be destroyed overnight.

There is no need to argue, feel at ease, looking at Zhang Fei and the others who understood that they had committed a taboo in the soldiers, Liu Lan continued to hypothesize: "If at this time, what you heard was not the news that Baibo Fortress was breached, but the news of the Han army, and Baibo Valley was more likely to be broken, what decision would you make?" ”

The answer is the same as Liu Lan's expectation, this time they all chose to return to the division, the answer is very simple, the Han army appeared, they could not only save Bai Bolei but even defeat the Han army, then, how inspiring will the effect be? At that time, with the momentum of a great victory over the Han army, wouldn't it be invincible to fight Pingyang and other counties? Because at that time, neither Pingyang nor the rest of the counties must have had the determination to defend to the death, because the Han army they were expecting had been defeated.

"Since you have all chosen to return to the division, then the generals of the White Wave Thieves will definitely return to the division, so we now want to create an illusion to confuse the defenders of the White Wave Valley, first we have to send a thousand people to bluff and create the illusion that the army is coming, and then go to call the formation with a thousand cavalry......" Liu Lan has not finished speaking, Zhang Zheng has already vetoed his proposal, this is very inappropriate, if the formation is called, the White Wave Thief really sent soldiers out of the city to fight, in order to explore the truth, don't we want to show the truth? The gains outweigh the losses.

"I wish he had sent troops." Liu Lan laughed and said: "I didn't finish my words just now, I sent a thousand people to call for battle, and sent a thousand people to make a momentum, but we still have a thousand people, but we want to ambush soldiers, let's imagine, if we three thousand people are directly drawn to the Baibo base, it will never be feared, not to mention let the defenders of the Baibo base go to the white wave thieves who attacked Pingyang for help, but if we create such an illusion, and there are only a thousand people on the front, then the white wave thieves in the white wave base will be worried, so they will inevitably send sergeants to explore the truth, But we know that there are not many defenders in Baibo Fortress now, and I estimate that there will never be more than 10,000 people, so how many people will they send, a thousand? It's too little, it can't have the effect of temptation, three thousand, compared to the current Bai Bo Lei, it seems too much, then fifteen to two thousand people are the best number, so when the defenders go out of the city, I will lead the troops to retreat directly. ”

Everyone listened carefully to Liu Lan and said: "At this time, there will be two situations, chasing, not chasing, chasing, then we can lead them into an ambush and eliminate them in one fell swoop, if we don't chase, we will continue to call the formation, so that the rebels in Baibo Lei will be afraid, that is, they are worried about how many Han troops there are, because they are afraid and ask for help from the Baibo Thieves, of course, it is not excluded that they think that we are not many in number, otherwise why not come to attack Bai Bo Lei, for this reason the Bai Bo Thieves will definitely send troops to test, and this is just what we are afraid of, We'll be able to lure it to an ambush and fight it off!
