Chapter 217 The drunken man's intention is not to drink

At dawn, the morning glow and fog on the small Cangshan Mountain, which is not towering, is quite hazy and poetic.

Xue Yu barely slept for an hour or two. At this time, she was already patrolling the military fortress. Yesterday, it was noisy all night, and the sergeants who had been tired all day were suffering unspeakably. Xue Yu had to order that all the sergeants were divided into three sentries during the day today and rested in batches. Don't attack, just do defense. This was originally a military plan for them.

After a while, a former sentry soldier rushed to find Xue Yu, saying that there was a letter from the master on the mountain.

Xue Yu took it suspiciously and said that he was practicing at this time. The master is the commander of the enemy's army. Why did he write a letter to our army? Is it possible that he came to write a letter?

Just as he was about to open the letter, Xue Yu was shocked. The letter is loaded with a Nanmu bamboo tube, and the mouth of the upper tube is painted with three red marks, which means that the letter belongs to the "highest secret" of the Hedong Rebel Army.

Xue Yu did not dare to neglect. He immediately called his entourage to ride a horse and ran to the rear to find Bai Xu.

Bai Wei was not idle last night. He not only had to plan a military plan, but also personally cleaned up several Qingwei. Now there are still potential threats that have not been removed from Taichang and Taiyin, so the defense of Baixu's camp is also quite strict.

Bai Xu was also a little surprised when he received the letter from Xue Yu. There are three letters of this level of red bar sealing. Unless it is specially written to Xue Yu, the leader of his level can't open it at will.

Bai Xun opened the letter and took a look. His face was tight.

"Military, what happened?" Xue Yu asked.

"The Lord wrote a letter saying that Dali is dishonest along the Yellow River and may take advantage of my empty West Mountain to attack my nest." Bai Qi said with frowns, "Now, the lord of the mountain has led his troops to retreat."

"Did the lord announce the end of the exercise, or ordered our people to return to defense together?" Xue Yu asked eagerly.

Bai Xu Ning looked at Xue Yu and shook his head slowly.

"What does the master mean?" Xue Yu said in astonishment.

Bai Hui held the letter with his back and paced back and forth, with an inexplicable smile on his face from time to time, but his expression could not get rid of the grim look.

Xue Yu looked at him like this and didn't dare to interrupt.

"There are many flaws in the letter." After a while, Baixu said leisurely, "First of all, the master did not clearly say who the letter was sent to anyone, but only drew three red bars on the letter box. Second, since there is a foreign enemy invasion, it is necessary to recall all the troops to end the exercise, but the lord did not; what's more, this handwriting is wrong. No matter how you look at it, this beautiful and elegant word seems to be from a woman, and it is not strange.

"What does the military division mean that the lord is cheating?" Xue Yu said, "I also think it's strange that since it's such a major military situation, why didn't the lord send Qingwei as a messenger to directly send orders, but wrote such an ambiguous letter?"

"Oh!!" Bai Xun smiled and said, "Master, this is Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher. To put it bluntly, it still means that the military tactics are false, and it is strange and difficult to argue.

"I just sent someone up the mountain to find out, and the lord did take someone to retreat. There are only camp villages and banners left on Shangcang Mountain, and most of the people and horses have been evacuated. Xue Yu said, "If there is fraud, the lord should have ambush against us halfway? - But what if Dali really invades Xishan?"

Bai Xun's eyebrows tightened, "Think about it carefully, it's not that there is no such possibility. Last time, Jiao's second brother's envoy to Xixia was ambushed there. Although it was a real woman, it was a matter of Xixia. This matter is still an unsolved case, which has not been dealt with and resolved. Since the real women dared to attack Jiao Erge in Xixia, it means that Xixia is likely to be controlled by the real women. Now it is not impossible to be instigated by a woman to send troops to me again.

"Why did the lord not know why he ordered us to withdraw his troops back to defend Xishan?" Xue Yu said puzzled, "The exercise is important, but it's not as urgent as the invasion of foreign enemies!"

"I don't know what the master thinks..." Bai Shu also shook his head confusedly, "But for this kind of thing, I would rather believe it or not. Even if we know that it is a trap and a conspiracy of the master, we must be tricked.

Xue Yu smiled bitterly, "Master, you are playing tricks!"

Bai Qi also smiled, "What can I do? Who will make him the lord? In fact, Xiaosheng is now thinking that the lord doesn't want to guard Xiaocang Mountain and is in a dilemma. If you withdraw, you are afraid that we will pursue you; if you don't withdraw, you will be passive and have no chance to win. So the lord played such a trick to withdraw the army and become one with Taiyuan.

"The military division means that the lord actually wants to defend Taiyuan and give up Xiaocang Mountain?" Xue Yudao.

"That's right." Bai Shu nodded, "We used the tactics of defense instead of attack, which made the lord very uncomfortable. He didn't have a way to crack it, so he had to retreat to Taiyuan to shorten the front line. Relying on the city of Taiyuan to strengthen the defense, it can also avoid our surprise attack on Taiyuan.

Xue Yu was not stupid, and her mind lit up, "Military division, did the second brother go to surprise Taiyuan?"

Bai Wei smiled slightly, "That's right. At the beginning of the exercise, the second brother set off there with the roaring horse. In fact, this tactic can't hide anyone at all. There is only one thing. It is very difficult to surprise attack Taiyuan from the position of our garrison. In addition to the eight garrisons of the lord, there are also the lofty mountains of Taihang Mountain. Only the second brother's Xiaoqi can do it. If the road goes well, the second brother should be in Taiyuan now.

"Then this surprise attack can no longer be called a surprise attack." Xue Yu said, "I can even think of it. How can the master not guess? That is to say, now the lord is indeed shaking a false shot and retreating to Taiyuan? Is this letter actually used to confuse us?

"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that we can't crack." Bai Zhi smiled and said, "If we chase the master's fugitive soldiers at this time, the master will set up an ambush halfway to deal with us, or send messengers to scold us, saying that foreign enemies have invaded and come to chase, and we don't know the importance. If we don't chase, the master will swagger back to Taiyuan and wait for us. The defense ability when the army withdraws is the lowest, and the most fearful thing is to be chased and besieged by the enemy. How about it? The master's move is good, isn't it?

"Hey! ..." Xue Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "Master, this is obvious!"

"Ha ha! Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, what is useful on the battlefield is a good plan. Bai Xu smiled and said, "The master's brain has always been very lively, and he has never been a person who follows the rules. We don't have to be surprised when he does something out of the way. Now I'm worried about the second brother - judging from the master's current behavior, the second brother's surprise attack is probably going to fail.

"What should I do now?" Xue Yu said, "We failed with the static braking tactic, and the second brother's surprise attack will also fail. Is it possible to go to Taiyuan to attack the city? After all, this is an exercise. There will be casualties in the case of siege, isn't it?

"Ha ha! Just make a plan." Bai Shu's mysterious smile.

"Ask the military division for advice?"

"Come here with your ears."

At the southern foot of Xiaocang Mountain, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong walked side by side, followed by the tiger horse led by Tang Annu, as well as Liuhe and Xiaofei.

The sun rose, and everyone gradually left the mountains and forests, feeling much warmer. In front of them were brigade soldiers and horses winding, walking in a hurry and methodically.

Xiao Linglong saw Chu Tianya riding a horse like an outing. She couldn't help laughing. She came closer and whispered, "You are a defeated general. How can you be so proud to abandon the camp and escape back to the nest? I really admire you."

Chu Tianya was so stupid, "Don't mess up my army's heart. When did I become a defeated general?

"Haven't you admit it?" Xiao Linglong was angry and funny, "You obviously can't do anything about the quiet tactics, and you are worried that the old nest in Taiyuan will be attacked, so you withdraw your troops back to guard. Before leaving, he also played a trick and asked me to write a letter to Bai Xun, pretending that Xixia had invaded. There are many flaws between the words, and the handwriting alone can make people see the truth at a glance. You didn't think you could really cheat, did you? You just do this by burying a trump card for yourself - in case you see through the plan to send troops to chase, you have something to say and repel them!"

"Haha! You know too much!" Chu Tianya slapped him and laughed, and said shamelessly, "Yes, that's what I mean. I'm obviously cheating - what do you want?"

"Me! ...I really can't stand you!" Xiao Linglong was so happy that she waved her whip and knocked on Chu Tianya's saddle a few times but did not dare to hit him. She said hatefully, "Your nickname is really good. Longcheng Taibao, you are a Taibao, a street gangster and a scoundrel!"

"Thank you, princess, for your praise." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "If I were a decent gentleman who follows the rules and is stable, my bones would have been reincarnated ashes. Don't you feel sorry for it?"

Xiao Linglong rolled her eyes and smiled, "What are you going to do now? Set up a battle with Bai Shu in front of Taiyuan City?

"No. After all, the exercise is an exercise, and the frontal charge is unrealistic. Chu Tianya said, "In fact, so far, the purpose of the exercise has been achieved."

Xiao Linglong was stunned, "It hasn't started yet. Have you achieved your goal?"

Chu Tianya smiled, "As I said, the purpose of the exercise is not to ask for a victory or defeat, but to let everyone know their strengths and weaknesses, be familiar with the atmosphere of this large-scale war, and adapt to the role they should play. It seems to you these days that I dare not relax for a moment. I'm really nervous. And as the lord, I also know what I need to do most now. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the 100,000 horses of the Hedong Rebel Army? As for the leaders and soldiers below, they must also know where they are, and they will not be so strange and confused in the face of war in the future.

Xiao Linglong nodded, "In my opinion, you are a drunkard and not drunk. You made this grand-scale exercise that even shocked the emperor, and the purpose of it was not the exercise itself.

Chu Tianya blinked his eyes and laughed at her.
