129. Calculation
"We are still stationed here first, recuperate overnight and then join the army, now that we have gone deep into Liangzhou, we should be careful, so as not to be caught by Dong Zhuo, that guy has a deep background in Xiliang, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp." The judge looked at the sky at this time, and said, he has never looked down on the enemy.
Zhao Yun agreed, and after looking at the sky at this time, he ordered people to scatter scouts and station them on the spot.
At this time, Lu Bu was also ordered by Dong Zhuo to investigate the enemy's situation, and led thousands of war horsemen, and not long after he marched, he suddenly stopped.
"There's a team of about 10,000 people up ahead?" Lu Bu looked at his scout in surprise, "Do you know whose flag the other party is flying." ”
"The distance is too far, and the other party is extremely cautious, scouts are everywhere, it is difficult for us to get close, and we can only see the big banner with the word "Zhao" vaguely. The scout replied with his head down.
Zhao Yun and Xu Rong had been separated at this time, as a striker, the scouts were scattered everywhere, so that Lu Bu's scouts did not dare to get too close, but relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he still tried to get as close as possible to Zhao Yun's camp, looked at Zhao Yun's big village from a distance, and roughly estimated the soldiers that the camp could accommodate.
"Zhao? In this way, could it be the "Gun God" in the Northern Regions? Lu Bu said to himself with a solemn expression.
Zhao Yun actually came, it seems that this time I am afraid it will be difficult to be good!
Lu Bu couldn't help but look at the north at this time, his back was cold, and now in this situation, he fled to Xiliang, but he was not stable.
I'm afraid that not only the imperial court, but also those Xiliang rebels feel that our presence is interfering with their situation, so I am afraid that no matter where they are, they all have the idea of destroying us.
Lu Bu's eyes flickered, and he knew that Li Ru's plan for Dong Zhuo was unreliable; No, no, no, Li Junshi's plan to meet the source left and right is right, but this pair is for the sake of us being able to resist the opponent's first tentative attack.
Otherwise, if both sides regard us as ants, I am afraid they will not have patience, Lu Bu's thinking is not slow, and with reality in front of him, he quickly guessed Li Ru's thoughts.
He also wants to get his own benefits from it, and if he wants to be left and right, in addition to restraining his greed, he must also show the value of letting both sides pull together, so that he can meet the source left and right, and then choose a winner to take refuge.
Lu Bu sighed, this is the helplessness of the weak, even if he can win for a while, he will inevitably have to rely on the strong in the future.
Compared with other generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Lu Bu's mind is extremely meticulous, and his military strategy, general trend, force, and wisdom are all first-class in the world, and he understood the meaning when he learned that the other party was Zhao Yun.
"Lu Fang, Lu Hu, the two of you each lead a few people to pretend to be woodcutters and hunters to carefully explore the enemy's camp, and it is best to write down the entire camp for me." After Lu Bu understood what Zhao Yun was here for, he was decisively ready to give Zhao Yun a ruthless surprise and steadily.
"Whoa." After Lu Fang and Lu Hu, the two guards brought out by Lu Bu from his hometown, bowed their hands, they quickly picked a few soldiers who looked thin, then took off their armor, changed into tattered clothes, copied an axe, and marched towards the direction of Zhao Yun's camp with a big grin.
"The others come with me, and all the horses are hidden behind the hills, so that they may not be discovered by the enemy scouts."
After Lu Fang and Lu Hu left, Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to hide behind the shady hills, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Lu Bu didn't spend much effort to avoid Zhao Yun's scouts, and of course, he also had to do a few sharp-eyed scouts.
"I don't know how the Northern Regions Army assigns scouts, and if you kill a dozen of them, you won't be discovered." Lu Bu said to himself a little helplessly, after all, Zhao Yun's scout combat effectiveness and vigilance are good, if it weren't for Lu Bu's strength is really terrifying, I'm afraid that Zhao Yun's scouts have released arrows just now.
"General, why don't we wait until the hour to attack at night?" A Sima proposed, after all, the night raid was a technical job for the elite under Lu Bu, and it was a major problem not to see it.
"The night attack is too difficult for us, and when the sky is dark, the enemy will inevitably bury the pot and make food, and we will attack him by surprise at that time, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to frustrate his morale." Lu Bu said with a smile, who said that the night attack must be in the son, the ugly time? Isn't the night raid just to take it by surprise? As long as he can do that, how long will he care?
On the other side, Lu Fang and Lu Hu carried a large pile of firewood after they separated, roaring and singing, which naturally attracted the attention of Zhao Yun's scouts.
"Who are you?" Soon a group of scouts surrounded Lu Fang and several woodcutters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all nearby farmers, go up the mountain to collect firewood and reserve for the winter, if we don't prepare some firewood now, it will be difficult to survive this winter." Lu Fang seemed to be stunned by the sergeant, and replied again and again.
"Oh, there is a large army camp of the imperial court ahead, you better take a detour, or rest here for a while, and then rush back tomorrow." The scout captain looked at the sky and tried to show some human touch.
"How is this good, our family is over there, if you take a detour, I'm afraid that after dark, the vision will be difficult to discern, and the wife and children in the village are still waiting for me to return." Lu Fang said in a panic.
Several scouts looked at each other, they were all Han soldiers, guarding the Han people, if they were so unkind, it would be a little bad, looked at Lu Fang, who was honest, and after discussing it, they felt that it would be better to take him through this area.
"You follow us and don't go around, we are the main army of the imperial court, and we will not disturb you, but if you cause us trouble, we will not show mercy." The scout warned for a word or two, and then led Lu Fang and a few people through the front of the camp, and soon after, another group of scouts took Lu Hu and a few people from the back of the camp.
By the time Lu Hu and Lu Fang came back with the information of Zhao Yun's camp, the sun had already sunk most of it, leaving only a small arc.
"Yes, that's what the scouts under Zhao Yun's command did." Lu Bu listened to the excitement in Lu Hu and Lu Fang's words, and could see that they were very excited about the stupidity of Zhao Yunjun's scouts.
"Yes, those stupid people, after checking my identity a little and making sure that there was no problem, they sent the two of us out of that area, so that we could easily see the peripheral layout of the entire camp, plus the inside of the camp that we saw when we went up the mountain to chop firewood before, we have mastered the entire Zhaoyun Dazhai." Lu Fang and Lu Hu said excitedly.
This time is the easiest way to disguise scouts so many times, in the past, it was possible that the other party would mercilessly behead them, but I didn't expect that this time the other party didn't pursue it too much.
Is it a real Han army?
I used to hear that the teacher of benevolence and righteousness was a joke, where is there a pure land of benevolence, but I didn't expect that there really is such a teacher of benevolence and righteousness...... Lu Bu looked at the sky and trembled slightly, and then quickly calmed down, he knew that this was not the time to think about this. Number Seven
……
"Haven't the others come back yet? How many of the other scouts have returned now? Scout Sima asked the team who was counting on the side, although he was also counting the number of scouts returning on the side.
"Zhao San, they haven't come back yet, it is estimated that the investigation is too detailed, one hundred and ninety-one scouts were discharged before, and one hundred and eighty-four have returned, and seven are still seven that have not returned." The scout team who was counting replied to Sima that it was already late at this point in time, and it would be time to bury the pot and cook in a while.
"Huh~" There was a sound of reining in the distance, and the scout Sima and the team leader looked at the same time, only to see two more scouts coming back.
"One hundred and eighty-six have returned, and there are still five that have not returned, and there is no special military situation." The Scout Captain replied.
"Okay, you continue to wait here, and I'll report to the general and the military advisor." Scout Sima glanced at the two scouts who had just returned, but did not say anything, nor did he suspect that the other scouts had met with accidents.
"Report!" At this time, Zhao Yun was sitting in the tent and discussing the future march, the military division of the forward was the trial, although this military affairs had been discussed many times, but whenever he was bored, the trial would also talk to Zhao Yun again.
"Speak!" Zhao Yun glanced at the scout Sima and only said one word, the scout Sima only felt a warm wind rushing towards him, although he had reported the information to Zhao Yun many times, but every time he saw it, he felt that General Zhao was really good, which made him effectively want to die.
Scout Sima lowered his head and repeated all the information, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he lowered his head and waited for Zhao Yun's order.
"One hundred and ninety-one scout teams, one hundred and eighty-six have returned, and there are still five that have not returned?" The judge on the side thought silently at this time, and after making sure that it was still within the normal range, he didn't ask anything more, so he nodded towards Zhao Yun.
"Bring in the information about the scouts who haven't returned, and you're ready to leave." Zhao Yun's gentle voice came.
Scout Sima hurriedly presented the finished book chapter, at this time the judge glanced at it and was slightly stunned, and the wine glass that had been held up was also put down, reached out and picked up the book chapter, looked at it carefully, and looked a little gloomy.
"But there's a problem?" Zhao Yun had been working together for a long time, and seeing that the judge had not been drinking, he picked up the book and knew that there was a problem in it, so he asked.
"I'm afraid there's an ambush in this area." The judge sighed at this time and said, it is indeed very normal for only a few scout teams not to come back, after all, some scouts have investigated too deeply, and sometimes they will come back later, more than two hundred teams of two, one seventeen or eighteen did not come back, it is common!
"The number of opponents will not be large, and the ambush to the west of us may not be very large, the possibility of dodging us is very high, the possibility of an attack also exists, and I am afraid that the leader will be a master." Although the trial is suspicious, just looking at the book in his hand can guess the general situation, this is the ability of a military advisor.
"Okay, then let's get ready!" Zhao Yun didn't think about the wrong guess of the trial at all, and after getting along with the trial for a long time, Zhao Yun also knew that there were few mistakes and omissions in the judgment of the trial.
Although it is indeed shocking to be able to infer this degree only by relying on a book without relevant information, but for the trial, Zhao Yun now has absolute trust, after all, in the army, the only people around him can be trusted, even the military advisor can't be trusted, who else can he trust?
The judge sighed at this time, he still likes to explain to others, but it's a pity that Zhao Yun has been working with him for a long time and no longer asks him why like before.
"Show me the map, let me find the opponent's location, determine the opponent's troops, if we can, let's go and fight them in an ambush." The trial said boredly at this time.
Zhao Yun groped twice in his arms and threw a cowhide map to the judge, only to see the judge constantly comparing with his knuckles on the map, while pinching with his fingers, and finally sighed silently: "Underestimate the other party." ”
"Why do you have a time when you are too far away?" Zhao Yun suddenly smiled at this time, he was very interested in such a thing as his friend eating deflated.
"It's not that we are blind, but the other party is a little far away from us, and they are all cavalry, and the strength is estimated to be a few thousand people at most, so they are ambushed in the hills to the northwest, and it is estimated that they have marched in the same direction with us before, and the target is really us." At this time, the trial was amazed, and he admired the courage of the other party.
"This time, you can even estimate the troops?" Zhao Yun was taken aback.
"The distance is so far, rushing to kill and attacking, the scouts will be suspicious if they don't return for too long, so time can't be delayed, we have a strong advantage in troops, even if the other party attacks at night, it can only be based on destroying morale, and according to the opponent's courage and carefulness, it will definitely not fight to the death, so that a quick retreat is the king." The judge calmly analyzed, and Zhao Yun also understood.
"It's all cavalry, our target is Dong Zhuo, then the cavalry here must be Dong Zhuo's fierce generals, then they must also be elite, and they have terrain advantages, if the other party doesn't rush into our pocket, then they will definitely succeed in escaping." Zhao Yun nodded and said.
"But I'm curious about which general under Dong Zhuo has such courage and is so careful and cautious." The judge said curiously at this time, "It's a pity that I've been fighting with the Donghu people in the north, and I don't have much time to contact the intelligence of the world, otherwise I should be able to guess who the other party is." ”
"I think it's Na Lu Bu!" A cold light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes.
"It's possible!"
Hearing this name, although the judge has never dealt with it, he also knows that this person has always been the target of attention in the Northern Regions, and he values it very much, and his intelligence level is even above Dong Zhuo.
"I will order my soldiers to be on guard."
The judge didn't speak at this time, he was very curious now, a military general who could kill two scouts at a considerable distance in an instant, and didn't give the scouts the slightest reaction, and still decided to sneak attack when he knew that the master would be Zhao Yun, it seems that this Lu Bu really has some courage, but this is really capable? Or is it arrogance?
However, seeing that such a tentative task is dispatched, then it seems that the other party is not powerful in Dong Zhuo's hands, so you can try to persuade it, and at this time, you carefully looked at the direction of the scouts who did not come back, and finally determined that the other party did kill a team of scouts and then marched in the same direction with them.
Bold and careful, the strength is strong enough, if twilight falls today, when the other party really kills the pot to cook, I am afraid that this person can be said to be first-class in the world in all aspects, the trial silently thought that for Lu Bu, who had never been masked, although the trial had a very high opinion of himself, but when he had never met, he gave the other party a very high evaluation.
It's a pity that the other party didn't think about the art of war in the Northern Regions at all, each scout will be numbered, and the direction of the exploration is also fixed, so after dispersing, I can even calculate where you are, kill a few of my scouts, just this distance I can even guess how many of you are in the middle, if you have the ability to do it, you will also fall into my calculations, and the judge thought with such a sneer.
However, it is better to end the Xiliang War as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty to fight with those old foxes, so that it can be regarded as truly enjoyable.
