It's the early hours of the day again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wild birds fluttered their wings and flew over the treetops. A few crisp birdsongs pierced through the heavy tabernacle, alarming Lu Yao, who was focused on the map in front of him.

Lu Yao rubbed his sore eyes, stretched his shoulders and arms, staggered to his feet, and pulled the tent open.

The light rain that began to fall in the middle of the night has not stopped until this moment. The tabernacle was lifted a little, and a cool breeze carrying the tiny raindrops swept into the tent. The pine torch in the tent was about to burn out, but when the wind blew it, it struggled to extinguish it several times, and finally went out.

Lu Yao simply opened the tent more. The two servants who were sleeping outside the tent woke up suddenly, and when they were about to jump up, Lu Yao waved his hand to them, signaling that he was okay and didn't need to be nervous.

Turning around and holding the map on the desk to the door, Lu Yao stomped his feet and found that the ground was not yet wet, so he sat on the ground and continued to look and calculate by taking advantage of the twilight of the east.

The reason why he was so exhausted was not because the arrival of the King of the East China Sea disturbed his thoughts, but because since Lu Yao led the army to cross the river, the situation on the battlefield was full of changes. I have to admit that every change in the battle situation is beyond Lu Yao's expectations; Every move of Shile also made it difficult for Lu Yao to judge his purpose.

Four days ago, Lu Yao had judged that the thieves would inevitably take advantage of the coalition army to attack halfway, so he was ready to fight with King Mi of Shile in the east and south respectively. However, after a few days of attack, the king and the thief in the south were weak; In the east of Puyang and Lihu line, Shile's department has never appeared from beginning to end. This was the first thing that Lu Yao expected.

Three days ago, Lu Jun, the son of the country who had been captured by the thieves, secretly came to the Chinese army, bringing Shi Le's intention to give up the strategy of coordinating the attack with the Xiongnu and Han States, and then break away from the Central Plains battlefield and turn to Qingxu. This is the second place that Lu Yao expected.

Two days ago, the army of the Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea, which was guarding Juancheng, was suddenly defeated without being attacked, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to disperse, thus making the internal and external echoes that the Youji Coalition had hoped for suddenly come to naught. The strongest strength that the imperial court center relied on was so fragile, which was the third place that Lu Yao expected.

As for the news brought by Zhang Wu yesterday evening, as a martial artist, Lu Yao was determined not to think about it first. But in the face of the collapsing Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea, Shi Le's thieves were able to endure the wolf's temperament and did not use troops to chase and kill, which is really strange...... This is the fourth unexpected point for Lu Yao.

Do they really want to break away from the Central Plains battlefield as Lu Jun said? I'm afraid not, right? Lu Yao shook his head.

He trusted Lu Jun and believed that Lu Jun would never deceive himself, but Lu Jun was a literati after all, and he didn't know the way of deceit on the battlefield. What's more, Lu Yao still remembers what kind of way the Shi Le recorded in the history books is. So the question comes back to what is their real purpose?

All kinds of questions are like unclear and constant messes, and the more you try to analyze them, the more they become a group, and you can no longer distinguish them. This is like a game between two people, one side falls, and the other party can guess its purpose and number of paths, which can be described as a chess opponent; If one party falls, the other party is at a loss and does not know why...... That's a big deal.

It is necessary to find out what Schler is up to! And as soon as possible!

"Zhu Sheng! Zhu Sheng! Lu Yao suddenly shouted.

The work of spies, secret agents, scouts, etc., which Zhu Sheng is in charge of, has become more and more important these days. Therefore, his camp tent was not far to the left of Lu Yao's tent, so that he could report the military situation or receive orders at any time.

Lu Yao shouted a few times, and Zhu Sheng hurried to his side. Probably because half of his face was pressed against the sleeves of his shoulders when he was lying in his clothes, and there were still deep nail leaf marks on his face.

Hearing his footsteps, Lu Yao didn't raise his head: "From now on, all the horses under your subordinates will no longer change shifts, and all of them will be dispersed!" ”

Under Zhu Sheng, there were more than 200 scouts for battlefield reconnaissance, and even more horses, about 300. The men are all skilled in riding, astute and capable, and the horses are all good horses. Depending on the needs of the operational command and the size of the reconnaissance area, the scouts are usually divided into two or three shifts and dispatched in turns. If there is no shift change, the number of scouts can multiply or triple in a short period of time, and the density and scope of patrols will increase.

But that's not enough. No matter how much the Youzhou Army attaches importance to battlefield reconnaissance, after all, it is a guest army, and its understanding of the surrounding terrain and landforms is never as good as those geographical ghosts of the Central Plains thieves. Want to solve the current confused situation...... It's not always a way to sit back and watch Shi Le pretend to be a ghost, and you need to do a strategy to force Shi Le to deal with it. The Art of War: "Knowing the gains and losses of the strategy, and knowing the reason for the movement." ”

Lu Yao summoned a servant: "Send someone to Baimajin to wait, after Shen Jin leads his troops to cross the river, let him come to see me immediately." ”

In the past five days, the Youji coalition army has collected a large number of boats and ships, and even mobilized tens of thousands of Jizhou people to rush to transport the army day and night. But as soon as the river was surging, the boatmen worked very hard and needed to rest; Second, in the process of use, the loss of river crossing equipment is also unavoidable; Therefore, the speed of the army crossing the river was actually a little slower than expected. Shen Jin, as a general of the Youzhou Army, was busy everywhere in order to arrange the dispatch of ships and organize river crossings. Among them, the discussions with the Jizhou army were particularly complicated, which made him very anxious.

Previously, there were rumors that Shen Jin was in the army in tandem with all the robes, intending to kill Li Yun and other Jizhou generals in one fell swoop and completely subdue the Jizhou army. The rumors may not be true, but they are groundless and not necessarily without cause. At least it can be determined that Shen Jin's personality is too violent and not suitable for coordinating the generals in the rear army. This task, first of all, Lu Yao gave it a mistake.

If it's wrong, you have to change it. The day before yesterday, Lu Yao had already adjusted the order of crossing the river, ordered Shen Jin to hand over the relevant matters to Chen Pei, and led the Liao army to the south in advance. There is an important task that needs to be taken on by him.

Not to mention the troublesome matters of the coalition forces crossing the river. At present, there are about 20,000 men and horses on the south bank of the river, ready to go into battle at any time. This is a smaller number than initially anticipated, but it is already quite large. More than 20,000 men and horses are based on the 3,000 Hu Cong Iron Cavalry of Lu Yao's own team, the 2,000 Xianbei Turquoise Cavalry of the Right Sima Duan Wenyang as the minions, and there are about 6,000 people from the Dingbian Army of the Youzhou Military Government and the small unit of the Duliao Army who arrived in advance. In addition, there are more than 10,000 people in the Jizhou Army under Li Yun, and the leading general is Bo Sheng.

The scale of the Jizhou Army is huge, but its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Youzhou Army. This was mainly due to the fact that Li Yun expanded his army too quickly after he became the general of Yangwu, and the training and equipment of the soldiers could not keep up for a while. Fortunately, the beggar army, as the core force of Jizhou, still retains a considerable level. After experiencing the brutal war with the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, the beggar army could best exert their tenacity in the tug-of-war and protracted war; The fact that they are soldiers has ensured the cohesion of the army. Bo Sheng led the elite of the beggar army that had always been stationed in Guangzong.

With the fierce and brave Youzhou Army as the spear, and the tenacious and daring Jizhou Army as the shield. There is no doubt that this is the most effective configuration for combat effectiveness, even in the face of ten times the enemy. Therefore, Bo Sheng, who is an important general in Jizhou, also acted with Lu Yao, and he has been in Wating for the past few days.

When Lu Yao's all-night planning was finished and he began to divide military affairs, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the begging army, Bo Sheng was woken up from his sleep and was about to stare and scold, but he found that the person who shook him was in his thirties, with thin eyebrows and long beard, and was Zheng Ping, who had been particularly effective recently.

"Brother Yunli, what's all the fuss?"

Zheng Pingzi Yunli is one of the literati who came to seek refuge after the beggar general mastered the military power of Jizhou. Due to the general lack of literacy among the begging generals, although Zheng Ping was called a staff member, he was actually an important deputy of Bo Sheng in charge of the army. At this moment, his face was shocked and uncertain, and the sparse beard under his jaw trembled, it seemed that he had indeed made a very important discovery.

"General, in the military camp of the Youzhou people, there is really something strange."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zheng Ping said seriously, Bo Sheng stopped the yawning on his lips and hurriedly sat up from the couch.

"Yesterday, a group of men and horses came from the east and entered the Youzhou army camp at night. It is said that the guards after entering the camp are also tight, and no one can approach them. ”

"From the east?"

"It's from the east! In addition, it is said that Zheng Ping...... lowered his voice: "After people from the east entered the camp, General Pingbei's handsome tent was lit all night. ”

Bo Sheng suddenly cursed. He got up and opened the tent and looked in the direction of the Chinese army's camp, only to see that the sky was getting white, and the towering enemy towers and high platforms in the camp, and the cavalry patrolling back and forth, were as vivid as silhouettes. Turning around, he sneered a few times: "I can't think of it...... Unexpectedly. This Wu Jun's children have also learned to play tricks. ”
