Li Mao did not hesitate when he entered the city and came directly to see Tian Feng.
"What's wrong?
Is there something wrong with the camp road?"
Tian Feng glanced at Li Mao, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
In his opinion, Zhang He was extremely stable, and he was both stable and brave. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not have sent Zhang He to garrison Changshan County, which was where the Jizhou Army launched its troops.
He owns the largest potato field in Jizhou and has many secrets about Yuan Shu, which cannot be kept by anyone but a steady person. Therefore, Tian Feng would not believe it if there was something wrong with him.
"Commander, we may have a flaw in the camp, and Lu Bu may have noticed it."
Li Mao said this directly.
"what's the situation?
How could a flaw be exposed?
Tell me in detail."
Now Tian Feng was even more confused. He didn't understand what flaws Zhang He would reveal and let Lu Bu know about it.
"On the first day when Lu Bu attacked the city, General Zhang He did not expose the trebuchet. When Lu Bu switched to the main attack, the general ordered the trebuchet to be launched. With the advantage of the trebuchet, Lu Bu's army was naturally killed and defeated.
So on the second day, Lu Bu stopped his troops without fighting, but on the third day, many grass shields appeared in Lu Bu's army.
The soldiers were not afraid of the trebuchet bullets despite holding these straw shields, and the general immediately ordered the trebuchet troops to use kerosene bombs, repelling Lu Bu's army's first charge in one fell swoop.
But after repelling this attack, Lu Bu retreated without any warning.
The general noticed that Lu Bu's retreat was a bit abrupt, and after some thought, he felt that he might have beaten Lu Bu too painfully, so he suddenly withdrew his troops because he became suspicious, and I immediately came to report the news to the military advisor."
Li Mao directly told all the causes and consequences of the incident. Of course, these were all their guesses. As for what exactly happened, it still depends on what Tian Feng thinks.
"Hey, sometimes people are too powerful. Jun Yi hit him too hard. Lu Bu must have noticed that you are extraordinary, so he became suspicious.
And if the camp road is a trap, then where can our soldiers and horses be? It can only be on Ling Road,
I dare to guess that Lu Bu's troops must be divided into two groups now, one going to Lingdao to investigate the news, and the other going south to search for General Zilong's traces."
Tian Feng glanced at Li Mao. Zhang He's guess was correct. Lu Bu must have doubts. It's all because he was too powerful. He was so powerful that Lu Bu had to be suspicious. If any general had this level, the world would have been
It's Lu Bu's, and he doesn't have to fight so many years and so many battles.
"Then what do we do?
Or what the military advisor wants General Zhang He to do."
After hearing Tian Feng's analysis, Li Mao frowned.
"Even if Lu Bu has suspicions, they are just guesses. Now Zhao Yun has led his army south. Based on the distance, it will take at most two days to reach the camp road. What Zhang He has to do now is to remain unchanged in response to changes.
And the only thing I can do is to hide the fact from the soldiers who come to Lingdao to investigate, and make them think that the army is still in Lingdao City. Only in this way can we give Zilong a chance."
Tian Feng thought for a moment, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Now he could only do his best to obey fate, and he could hide it for a while.
"Then I will return to the camp road immediately and report to the general."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Li Mao also admired him. Now if Lu Bu sends people to investigate the news, Tian Feng will take advantage of it. If Lu Bu really knows that the army is still in Lingdao, he will definitely not be wary of Zhao Yun behind him. As for him,
How to do it, only he himself knows.
"Okay, let's go. I guess Zilong's attack will be in these two days. I told Zhang He to hold his troops still and pay attention to the military situation at all times. Once there is a battle in Lu Bu's camp, he will immediately go out of the city to attack Lu Bu with him.
If Lu Bu leads his army to escape, don't pursue him, otherwise it will be over."
"promise."
After Li Mao left, Tian Feng directly called his bodyguard over, and after whispering a few words in his ear, the bodyguard left with fists in his hands.
After the guards left, the entire Lingdao City was put under martial law. All the elites in the city were brought to the camp. They were given weapons, leather armor, shields and other ordnance, and then they climbed up the city wall one after another, with big flags flying.
If you look from outside the city, you would definitely think that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Lingdao City, but you would not guess that there are only Tian Feng's 1,000 personal guards and 2,000 county soldiers, as well as a few strong soldiers who serve as soldiers and horses.
Cao Xing's people slowly came to the outside of the city. Looking at the thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the city and countless flags, they did not doubt that he was there and turned back to report to Cao Xing.
"General, we have investigated clearly. Jingzhou's army is indeed in Lingdao City."
The scout returned and reported the news directly to Cao Xing.
"How to say?
Approximately how many soldiers and horses are there in Lingdao?"
After hearing what the scout said, Cao Xing was extremely excited. If the army was in Lingdao, then his army would still have a chance to escape.
"There are at least thousands of soldiers and horses on the city wall, and there are many flags on the wall. It can be seen that the army is still there."
The scout directly told Cao Xing what he had discovered and his guesses.
"Well, you continue to lead people to guard for me outside the city. You must find out how many soldiers and horses the enemy has. I will report to the lord immediately."
Although the scouts have not yet obtained detailed information, judging from Song Xian's guess and the clues obtained along the way, the situation should not be false.
"promise."
After Cao Xing said that, he turned around and left. He wanted to rush back to Yingdao as quickly as possible. Since the enemy army was here, Yingdao City could not stay there. He had to lead his army back to Xie Mu and then back to Fuchuan immediately.
Cao Xing ran all the way, running hundreds of miles in one night and one day, and rushed directly from Lingdao back to Lu Bu's military camp in Yingdao.
"General, General Cao Xing is back."
When Cao Xing returned, his guards immediately came to report to Lu Bu.
"Let General Cao Xing come in immediately."
When Lu Bu heard that Cao Xing was coming back, he immediately asked him to come over and see him.
"Lord."
Cao Xing entered the tent and immediately clasped his fists at him.
"How's it going? Is there any news from Lingdao?"
Lu Bu came directly to Cao Xing. To be honest, the news he had now was very important. Once there was no army in Lingdao, he might be in trouble.
"We found traces of the cavalry and a large amount of buried ashes on the road from the camp to Lingdao. We judged that a large army must have passed by.
Then I led people to sneak outside Lingdao City and observed a large number of soldiers and horses patrolling the city wall, as well as many flags, so I speculated that there should be a large number of soldiers and horses gathering in Lingdao City, and Song Xian's guess may come true."
Cao Xing directly reported the discovered information to Lu Bu.
"It seems that this Yingdao City is indeed a trap."
Lu Bu also frowned after hearing Cao Xing's words. Now it seemed that he had been ambushed by the enemy.
"The current situation may be better than what Song Xian said. At least if the enemy's troops are in Lingdao, we still have time to go south as soon as possible. As long as we can return to Fuchuan through Xie Mu, there will be no big loss for us."
Cao Xing glanced at Lu Bu. Now all fools know that the camp road is a trap. Since it is a trap, he must make a decisive decision and immediately raise his troops to go south and return to Xie Mu.
"Well, you are right. If the enemy really appears in Lingdao, then we cannot stay here for a long time. We will immediately order the army to set up camp and return to Xiemu."
Lu Bu was not a person of ink. Although it was almost dark now, now that he had received the news, he did not want to stay for a moment, because staying any longer would be more dangerous.
"promise."
Cao Xing nodded, and immediately went down to deliver the order, arranging the army to set up camp and prepare to return to Jiaozhou.
Although many of the 50,000-strong army had doubts when they heard Lu Bu's military order, the order was overwhelming and everyone followed it without hesitation.
