Chapter 433： Being smart is stupid

[Fourth more]

"As expected!"

Zhao Mao said lightly: "If he is really attacking at this time, I would doubt if his Lu Bu is as powerful as the legend."

"General Zhao, since you know that the enemy will not attack, why place the barracks behind the city?" General Tan Wenbo of the Bailan Kingdom looked at Zhao Mao and asked.

"Don't you understand General Tan?" Zhao Mao turned to look at Tan Wenbo and asked with a smile.

Tan Wenbo's face changed. If he could see clearly, he wouldn't ask more.

"Report, General, I have already found out that Lu Bu's cavalry will not exceed 50,000 people." At this time, another scout came up to report.

When Tan Wenbo heard it, it suddenly dawned on him that Zhao Mao didn't intend to use bait to fool Lu Bu's army from the beginning. He was just to find out the number of Lu Bu's cavalry.

After understanding, Tan Wenbo sighed in his heart now, this Jinshui Kingdom's general Zhao Mao is indeed better than himself. His goal was set from the beginning, and the soldiers only need to follow the target.

"Fifty thousand people."

Zhao Mao nodded and said, "Tomorrow, we will order the army to occupy each city separately. We must take down Chijun. On the one hand, it will reduce the scope of Lu Bu's iron cavalry. On the other hand, it will form a strategic goal to suppress Lu Feng in public opinion. Let the people in the 13th county of Ziyang take a look, we have already taken down one of them."

"Let those families who are dissatisfied with the Nanyan Kingdom continue to contact us and crush the Nanyan Kingdom from within."

"Finally will follow the order!"

The lieutenant behind Zhao Mao immediately took the order.

Zhao Mao pondered a little and looked at Tan Wenbo and said, "General Tan, now I’m bothering you to lead the army to Mingxi City. I will lead the army to Shangguan Mountain. The two sides acted as horns and blocked the road from Heng County to Chi County. how is it?"

Mingxi City and Shangguan Mountain are two strategically important places in Chi County. Once these two places are taken, they can be attacked and retreated, and all roads in front of Heng County can be blocked.

Zhao Mao's trick is quite clever. In this way, even with Lu Bu's tens of thousands of horses riding in Chi County, he can't make any waves.

Locking Mingxi City and Shangguan Mountain is equivalent to breaking the road linking Lu Bu and Neilu Peak in Heng County. Then, the winner will be in hand.

Tan Wenbo thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will lead the army out."

"It's so good." Zhao Mao smiled.

Tan Wenbo didn't say more, turned and left.

"General, we will also go down and prepare now, and go to Shangguanshan tomorrow." said the deputy next to Zhao Mao.

"No need to!"

Zhao Mao waved his hand and said, "We will leave tomorrow afternoon. It is still early. Let Lu Bu some time first."

When the lieutenant heard this, he was taken aback, looked at Zhao Mao in confusion, and asked, "General, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Mao did not answer. He just stared at Tan Wenbo's leaving back, sneered, and whispered: "Tan Wenbo, Tan Wenbo, tomorrow, you will wait for Lu Bu's attack! Humph!"

Lu Bu is here with tens of thousands of cavalry. If Tan Wenbo leads the army forward, it is definitely a good opportunity. As long as Lu Bu is not a fool, he will definitely attack Tan Wenbo at this time.

Chi County is suitable for an iron cavalry charge. Even if Tan Wenbo can kill Lu Bu, he will pay at least 300,000 soldiers.

At that time, he can take advantage of this matter to give the Spirit Sword Sect who is putting pressure on the Bailan Kingdom more bargaining chips, replace Tan Wenbo, and come to an obedient general, so that Zhao Mao can completely deal with Nanyan. Emperor Lu Feng of the Kingdom.

Hearing Zhao Mao's low voice, the lieutenant suddenly realized and understood what he meant.

...

The next day, on a **** in Chi County, Lu Bu led tens of thousands of horses waiting at this place.

"Report, General, Tan Wenbo's millions of troops were found ahead. Looking at their marching direction, they should be heading to Mingxi City. Should we attack?" A soldier came to Lu Bu and asked.

"Where is their grain and grass?" Lu Bu asked.

"The enemy army was very vigilant and placed the grain and grass in the middle of the army. The surrounding army had three inner layers, and the outer three layers protected the grain and grass."

Lu Bu frowned suddenly, and murmured: "This Tan Wenbo has a sting to grow his wisdom, so he protects the grain."

His current mission is not to kill the enemy more, but to destroy the enemy's food.

He only needs to complete this task.

Now Tan Wenbo suffered a big loss in the problem of grain and grass last time. This time he did so well in this aspect, he could not find the opportunity to attack grain and grass at all.

Slightly pondering, Lu Bu said, "Forget it, don't mess around, let them go and wait for the Jinshui Kingdom army."

"Yes!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Mao in Guhe City received news that Tan Wenbo's army had not been attacked. He immediately gathered his generals in the chamber to discuss this matter.

"Everyone, things are not right. Tan Wenbo's army has not been attacked. Tell me, what do you think?" Zhao Mao asked while sitting in the main seat, looking at the general under his hand.

"General, the general thought that this happened to be nothing more than two situations. Either Lu Bu led the army and left Chi County, or Lu Bu was afraid that Tan Wenbo's army would cause too much harm to his army, so he did not choose to attack. But waiting for another opportunity."

"Another opportunity?"

Zhao Mao pondered slightly, his eyes flashed, and said: "You mean, he is waiting for us to divide our troops to guard other cities and attack the army we sent out?"

"Absolutely!"

The lieutenant smiled and said: "Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Lu Bu does not attack the army of the Bailan Kingdom which is not as powerful as ours."

"General, the final general thinks so too." Another lieutenant stood up and said with a smile: "Lu Bu didn't dare to attack the Bailan Kingdom, and he certainly did not dare to attack our Jinshui Kingdom."

"Finally, I feel that we need to occupy Shangguanshan in the first place. If not, when Lu Feng reacts and send a large army to occupy Shangguanshan, we will fall into passive again."

Zhao Mao heard it, thought about it, and it was the same thing, and immediately ordered: "The army will not divide the troops for the time being, but gather in one place, and immediately prepare to move forward, increase the strength of the army to transport the grain, and avoid Lu Bu from robbing the grain."

Zhao Mao's ability is indeed not weak. Now that Lu Bu's purpose has not been revealed, he has already begun arranging the army to **** the grain and grass. This consciousness is in place.

With the order from General Zhao Mao, the Jinshui Kingdom army immediately began to move.

Soon, the army of the Jinshui Kingdom began to leave Guhe City, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army.

Finally, the army of food transport!

Not far from Guhe City, Lu Bu had already led tens of thousands of horsemen to this place.

"General, as you said, the enemy army didn't let the scouts investigate in this place and didn't find us."
