To be honest, Zhao Yun didn't believe that his whereabouts had been leaked. Even if Shi Xie had placed scouts in Jingzhou, it was impossible for him to reveal his whereabouts.
The reason why they are increasing troops in Fuchuan now is probably because Shixie received some news and knew about the battle of Yizhou. Even if they did not get a letter from Yizhou, they could guess that the next target must be Jiaozhou, so they could arrange it in advance.
Prepare for a rainy day,
Any smart person will do this, so there is no need to panic too much, but you still need to do what needs to be done. First, plow the surrounding areas of the camp road.
"promise."
Everyone had no doubts about Zhao Yun's instructions. They hugged Cheng Nuo together and then went down to make arrangements.
The gates of Yingdao City, which had been silent for a while, opened in all directions, and countless cavalry roared out, scattering in all directions like ants on patrol.
As expected, efforts will be rewarded. Zhao Yun suddenly sent out a large army to sweep away, and immediately killed all the scouts sent by Shi Yi, and were escorted back to the city dejectedly.
From the mouths of these enemy scouts, Zhao Yun also got the answer he wanted.
Fuchuan originally had 30,000 troops, coupled with the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Xie Mu and Feng Cheng, the number of troops there now has reached 35,000, and they have indeed reached an armistice with Lu Bu, and the strength of Jiaozhou is Zhao Yun
I also got the exact news.
"General, since Shi Xie has reached an alliance with Lu Bu, his troops in Fuchuan should not exceed 100,000. Now Fuchuan is only the leading army. Can we send a surprise force to attack over a long distance and set up a trap on their way north?
ambush."
Now that the exact information about Jiaozhou has been obtained, some captains immediately started to make connections.
"Yes, general, according to the enemy scouts, they and Lu Bu will be stationed in Cangwu County and Nanhai County respectively. This will give us a chance. I feel that the surprise attack should achieve the desired effect."
Another captain clasped his fists and told Zhao Yun his thoughts.
"Well, Zhang Lin and Liu Wei are right. The enemy is overt and we are covert. They don't even know that our cavalry has arrived here, and the residents of Xie Mu and Feng Cheng's land are also migrating. Now there is chaos in the north of Fuchuan.
It became a pot of porridge,
Shi Yi has no spare time to care about anything, but we should not have too many troops and horses for a sneak attack, otherwise our whereabouts will still be exposed, but if there are too few troops and horses for a sneak attack, the desired effect will not be achieved."
Looking at his two captains, Zhao Yun also nodded. It had to be said that it was good for them to take advantage of the situation to attack in a sneak attack, but there were some things that needed to be solved. Otherwise, it would not be a sneak attack, but death.
"If you risk your life and survive, let me take people there. I'm not afraid."
Zhang Lin also knew the danger of sneak attacks, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Credits can't fall from the sky, you can only fight with your life.
"I have a better idea than attacking their troops by surprise."
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Lin. She was a rising star in the Yingyang Army. She was brave and daring to fight, so she was able to stand out and serve as a captain in the Yingyang Army.
"Can you please clarify, General?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, everyone was stunned. If they didn't sneak attack their troops, then what would they do?
"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses marched from the west of Fuchuan, through mountains and forests all the way south to Wushan outside Guangxin to ambush.
When the lord's army presses the border, all the soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou will gather on the Fuchuan line in the north. Guangxin will be empty by then. When the time is right, they will go directly out of Wushan, attack Huanglong, and surround Guangxin.
Remember that the siege cannot be broken, so I will implement the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.
If Guangxin is besieged, Fuchuan will inevitably divide his troops to rescue him. By then, Shan Fuchuan's troops will be able to resist the lord's attack, so Jiaozhou can be defeated in a moment."
Compared with the strategies of the captains, Zhao Yun was thinking deeper. These people were only thinking about how to win a battle, but Zhao Yun was thinking about how to win the entire Jiaozhou and how to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
He hasn't finished speaking yet because he wants to see if his subordinates can complete his thoughts.
"General, this time span is not short. It will take at least one or two months. This will put a lot of pressure on logistics."
Facing Zhao Yun's bold idea, everyone was stunned. You must know that his strategy not only places high demands on marching generals, but also has a big test, that is, logistics.
It's a bit uncomfortable to know that 20,000 people are quietly going south. Not only do they have to fight against the enemy, but they also have to fight against themselves. They can't get any supplies for eating, drinking and sleeping. This is a bit uncomfortable.
"Well, Liu Wei is right. This puts a lot of pressure on logistics, but it doesn't matter. There is still a lot of beef jerky in the army. If it is tight, it can still satisfy the consumption of the 20,000-strong army."
Zhao Yun nodded, thinking of these things proves that the people under his command are not idiots. If they do whatever he says, it will be difficult to accomplish this.
"General, since you want to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, I suggest you divide your troops into two. One is to hide troops in Wushan as the general said, and the other is to ambush Xieshan between Fengyang and Guangxin.
middle,
The enemy's soldiers and horses will definitely not be too prepared when they return to support us. As long as they pass through Xieshan and directly send troops to attack, they will definitely win a complete victory."
Zhang Lin glanced at Zhao Yun, since that's what you think, then you might as well divide your troops into two groups, one to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and the other to sneak attack the enemy's rescue troops.
"Haha, I've grown a lot."
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Lin, with a hint of approval in his eyes. This was exactly what he wanted to say. If he just wanted to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, ten thousand troops would be enough. There was no need to send out twenty thousand troops. What he wanted was to divide the troops and attack.
made.
"It turns out that the general has thought of this a long time ago, but he just wanted to test us."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words and looking at his wise eyes, Zhang Lin immediately understood that Zhao Yun could not think of what she could think of. It turned out that this was all Zhao Yun's attempt to remind them.
"Well, you're right. Why should I send 20,000 troops? This is actually what I mean. Xie Shan and Wu Shan are indeed my scheduled locations, Zhang Lin and Liu Wei."
Zhao Yun nodded and directly selected Zhang Lin and Liu Wei.
"exist."
"exist."
The two of them went straight out of the queue to salute without hesitation.
"Do you two dare to take on this mission, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and encircle the enemy for reinforcements?"
Zhao Yun smiled at the two of them. In fact, there was no need for him to ask. He had commanded both the Ying Yang Army and the Dang Kou Army. There was not a single coward among them. No matter who it was, as long as this task fell on them, they would be the same.
,gan.
"Zhang Lin takes the order."
"Liu Wei takes the order."
Sure enough, just as Zhao Yun thought, Zhang Lin and Liu Wei did not hesitate and directly accepted the order with clasped fists.
"Okay, then Liu Wei will lead his troops to Wushan and wait for an opportunity to attack Guangxin. Zhang Lin will lead his troops to Xieshan to sneak attack the reinforcements going south depending on the situation."
"promise."
"promise."
"Well, the entire army must now focus on two soldiers and horses. They must be well fed and well clothed."
"promise."
For a time, the whole Yingdao City was boiling again. When they heard that 20,000 cavalry were going to cross most of Cangwu County and lie in wait there for a month or two, these robes did not hide their secrets and directly took all the good things they had treasured.
came out,
This also caused the 20,000 cavalry to set off with a clanking sound. Not only were they carrying things on their backs, but their necks were also full of things.
Those who knew they were setting up an ambush, but those who didn't knew thought they were a group of people fleeing for safety.
