In the blink of an eye, it was the third watch, and the inside of the Chinese army's tent was very quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear the light sound of the night wind when it swept over the grass outside the tent. From time to time, a few oil lamps crackled and exploded a few dazzling sparks, flickering and floating to the ground, and they were out of sight in the blink of an eye. The two guards crept in, added anointing oil to the belly of the lamp, and tiptoed back again, continuing to guard the tent on both sides of the tent.

And Lu Yao barely paid attention to them, he still looked down at the geographical map, deep in thought.

Not so long ago, he made a new discovery.

Let go of the direction of Puyang and deliberately leave a route for the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea to escape, although this plan is fierce and vicious, but it is very problematic. Even if there is no secret spy report from Juancheng, relying on the cavalry reconnaissance scattered by the army, maybe Lu Yao will discover the weak point in the encirclement of the thief army a little later, but he will definitely see the danger in time.

Therefore, when the remnants of the defeated army of the King of the East China Sea in Juancheng will swarm in, the Youzhou army will definitely stabilize its position first and not give the thieves a chance to take advantage of it. In other words, the current situation cannot deceive the Youzhou army, and the target of the Shile King Mi Thief Kou is actually the hundreds of thousands of horses of the East China Sea King Shogunate.

From another point of view, the army of the East China Sea King in Juancheng has nothing else, and some are people. When hundreds of thousands of defeated remnants of the army will rush along these two roads, is it possible that the ambush troops of Shile and Wang Mi will annihilate them all? Describe it with a familiar sentence from Lu Yao's previous life: Don't talk about 50,000 people, even if you put 50,000 pigs, you can't catch them in three days. After losing those ineffective armies, as long as the core system of the shogunate is not damaged, and then with the support of the Youji army, the king of the East China Sea will still be the powerful minister who commands the world, and he will still be able to fight against the thieves in the Central Plains for a long time.

In other words, Shi Le set such a trap, but in fact, it could not give the king of the East China Sea a decisive blow. In comparison, it is better to maintain the siege of Juancheng, and the gain of fighting a dull and tough battle will be greater. Why is that?

If you think deeper, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, once the time is right, the Youzhou army may also be able to cooperate with the army of the king of the East China Sea, flank inside and outside, and break the middle ambush of the thief with one blow, and then all the armies will join forces to launch a counterattack against the thief Kou of Shile Wang. This time, isn't Shile not stealing chickens, but is in danger of eroding out the old capital?

Otherwise. Lu Yao shook his head again and again, and immediately overturned this idea.

Since Shi Le dared to arrange the plan of encircling the three queyi and setting up an ambush in the middle road, he would definitely expect that the Youzhou army would plan and form a flanking attack on the ambush soldiers. How can we make the Youzhou army have no time to attack? The key is still in the tile pavilion. If expected, Mak Zemin's army will soon be attacked by the superior forces of the bandits in Wating.

Although it has mastered a number of ferries in the upper and lower reaches of the river, the carrying capacity of the boat is limited after all. According to Lu Yao and Li Yun's prior estimates, within five days, the strength of the Youji coalition army that can cross the Henan will not exceed 20,000. As long as the Shile King Mi Thief Kou uses the same strength to launch an offensive in Wating, it should be enough to make Lu Yao lack skills and have no ability to meet the King of the East China Sea. With the same strength, that is, 20,000 people, it should not be difficult for Shile, who has snowballed in the Central Plains.

After thinking about it so much, I come back to the key point: why is that?

Why did Schler set up this seemingly vicious, but indecisive trap?

Lu Yao took a deep breath and exhaled again. He tried his best to settle himself down and calculate carefully.

In the eyes of his subordinates, Lu Yao is an invincible commander who uses soldiers like a god, so when Lu Yao's status gradually rises and he gradually no longer shy away from his identity after the Lu clan in Jiangdong, some subordinates intentionally or unintentionally say that Lu Yao's art of war teaching has a very high origin, which is derived from Lu Xun, the capital governor who was in charge of the military power of Eastern Wu in the past, and raised Jiangzuo Wu'er to compete with China.

Of course, Lu Yao himself knew that there was no such thing. Jiangdong's four surnames are known as "Zhang Wen, Zhu Wu, Lu Zhong, Gu Hou", although the Lu family has many children, except for Lu Xun and Lu Kang's father and son, there is no special talent for using soldiers. During the Great Jin Dynasty and Wu, Lu Yan, the patriarch of the Lu clan, Lu Jing, the father of Lu Yao, and other senior officials of the Lu clan died in battle, but their combat achievements were lackluster, and their "loyalty" was loyal, but they really did not show any military talent. Even Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong entered Luo, and finally died from the disadvantage of the battle. In Lu Yao's own memory, he never remembered when these two uncles specialized in military books and battle strategies.

Since he has been a general for generations, Lu's art of war has more or less learned, but Lu Yao actually accumulated military experience in the battles of birth and death after he was exiled and merged into the state, and only then did he gradually learn some military books that he was roughly exposed to when he was young. Two years ago, Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, was defeated and defeated, and Lu Yao's memories from another life awakened, so he was able to combine the insights of his past and present lives for his own use. If you have to study it, you may not have any special experience in your previous life, but it is just a mixture of scales and claws in those online books in your previous life.

Outsiders may praise Lu Yao for his good fighting and wisdom, but when Lu Yao is alone, he often asks himself, is he really as others imagined?

Lu Yao's answer to himself was no.

When he was an ordinary officer, Lu Yao often relied on his personal bravery to charge into battle to determine the outcome of the battle. When it comes to governing the army, he may be more delicate and attentive, but only in terms of tactics, he is not fundamentally different from Xue Tong and Shen Jin. Although the wind and clouds met later, the small military master of Bingzhou took off, but in terms of using troops, Lu Yao knew that he was by no means as good as the really old and mature generals in the history books.

What he is good at is still in the management of the army, relying on severe punishments and rewards, clear laws and decrees, training an elite division that can win battles, and then using it to crush the low-level troops of his time. Whether it is in Daijun or Huiyuan, he has fallen into the enemy's calculations, but the final victory proves one point.

Because of this, Lu Yao's mentality has always been contradictory. Victory after victory has brought him unprecedented confidence, not to mention that he already has tens of thousands of heroes in his hands, a hundred times more powerful than before, and he no longer needs to look up to anyone. But occasionally, he will also feel that his deeds of repeated victories are probably indispensable to the help of a little luck, and if he changes the time and place, he may not be able to replicate those victories...... Not to mention now, when facing Shiler.

When he was about to confront this lowly-born thief again, Lu Yao was still a little wary. Therefore, he will be able to raise his spirit without sleepiness and look at the battle situation from different angles. Lu Yao looked at those that were deliberately posed by Shi Le, hoping that he would see them. But this time, Shiler's purpose is really incomprehensible.

Lu Yao pondered for a long time, and the needles in the tent could be heard. Outside the tent, the river is surging, the wind and clouds are rolling, and the night is long.

What Lu Yao didn't know was that in a densely wooded hilly area less than fifty miles away from him, the person who he couldn't see through, couldn't guess and was deeply afraid, couldn't sleep at night, and his heart fluctuated.
