As mentioned earlier, in order to protect Changzhou, the map of the entire county was kept in his mind. Yan Liang was also able to live up to his expectations and directly stated what Ju Shou meant.
"But how can we lead them to Wuhepo?"
Although he knew Jushou's ambush point, he still had his own concerns...
Wuhe Slope is a trail, backed by mountains, lush forests, and often attacked by ferocious beasts, so it is rarely used by people. Over time, even the locals have almost forgotten this place, but it is also an excellent place for an ambush.
"Gong Ji, it depends on how you help them?"
How could Jushou not think of this? However, unless you are very sure about marching and fighting, just guessing is like gambling on luck.
"How to help?"
"Failure."
Yan Liang was stunned, but Ju Shou smiled slightly.
"The military advisor wants me to fake defeat and then lead my troops to Wuhepo?"
Jushu nodded.
"No, no, the enemy wants nothing more than a surprise effect when they make a surprise attack. If I show up with my troops, they will definitely be on guard. Why would they come close to Wuhe Slope with me?"
Yan Liang shook his head, indicating that this was unreliable.
"Then you just listen to my arrangements."
"Appreciate further details."
Yan Liang clasped his fists and nodded.
"At that time, I will send you to lead 3,000 infantry and 2,500 troops to meet the enemy. The remaining 500 troops will run back and forth with many suspicious soldiers behind them to fight with the enemy. If they are defeated, they will follow you to Wuhe Slope."
"Military advisor, are you sure this won't scare away the Huns? After all, if they thought the suspected soldiers were real, how could they dare to attack?"
Xu Rong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"No, this is just right."
Yan Liang nodded, and his eyes became brighter.
"??"
Looking at Yan Liang, Xu Rong was confused.
"Xu Rong, there is an old saying that the strategy of doubting soldiers is nothing more than to intimidate the enemy to show their strength, hoping to shock the enemy.
But this time I will try my best to make it as obvious as possible so that the Huns can see through it at a glance.
The advantage of this is to show weakness to the enemy and make them think that my actions are just to scare them away.
In this way, they will attack me desperately, and I can take advantage of the situation to lead them into Wuhe Slope.
Sir, am I right?"
After Yan Liang finished speaking, he faced Jushou for confirmation.
"That's right, it's exactly what Yan Liang said. The so-called imaginary is the real, and the real is the imaginary. There is no definite number of what is imaginary and what is real. However, this time we are going to use imaginary to cover up the real to lure the Huns into Wuhe Slope."
"Yan Liang understands and please ask the military advisor to make arrangements."
"Xu Rong."
"exist,"
"I order you to lead 20,000 soldiers from Xiliang. Now go to Wuhe Slope, block the road ahead of Wuhe Slope, and then ambush on both sides. The enemy will not be there for a day, and you must not show your body for a day."
"promise."
"Yan Liang,"
"exist."
"I order you to take 3,000 prisoners and go to Sanshui to meet the enemy. Act according to your plan and lead the enemy as far as Wuhe Slope."
"promise."
"Give Gao Lan an order to arrive at Zhending within two days. I have other arrangements."
"promise."
Under Jushou's military orders, the entire Zhending army began to turn like gears.
The first was Yan Liang, who selected three thousand prisoners with similar training from the prisoner camp and drove them from Jian to Sanshui in a light vehicle.
Yan Liang was followed by Xu Rong, who led 20,000 troops and went to Wuhepo to set up an ambush.
Two days later, Gao Lan finally led his army to Zhending. Before he could rest, Ju ordered Kenpa to lead an army of five thousand to set up an ambush on the road outside Sanshui.
He himself led 20,000 Polu troops and 10,000 cavalry troops to hide in the mountain depression outside Wuhepo. As for Zhending, there were still 20,000 militia groups, 20,000 prisoners and 60,000 temporarily recruited young men responsible for the defense.
Time passed day by day, and it was difficult for the infantry to move along the Sanshui route, let alone the pure cavalry troops of the Huns. Moreover, Kerhan was extremely cautious, and his scouts went out ten miles to conduct reconnaissance.
Twenty thousand people stumbled for four or five days before arriving at Sanshui. Just as they were about to see the light of day, they were told by a scout that a large number of soldiers and horses appeared ahead.
"How many enemies are there?"
When Kerhan heard what the scout said, he was also puzzled. He had been careful enough along the way and should not have been detected by the enemy.
"The enemy's soldiers and horses were about three thousand, but after that, it seemed that countless soldiers and horses were walking on the yellow sand, and they were coming."
The scout wasn't sure, so he used the word "like."
"Sabuye, take the whole army and move slowly. I'll go take a look before talking about it."
Kerhan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what the scout said, and then decided to go and see for himself.
Kerhan came to Yan Liang's army with a thousand horsemen under his command. When he saw the real master coming, Yan Liang couldn't help but ride out.
"Hongnu barbarians, this general is Polu General Yan Liang, and I am waiting for you here specially."
Yan Liang raised his sword and immediately announced his name.
The so-called shadow of a famous tree, Yan Liang's name is already well known in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Even the foreign races outside the Great Wall know about such a fierce general.
"Polu General Yan Liang?"
When he heard it was Yan Liang, Kerhan's eyes lit up with a bright light,
Looking at the ambushes in the distance, an idea came to mind.
"Yan Liang, I am Kerhan of the Xiongnu Boxiu tribe. You want to stop me with just a few troops? There are ten thousand Huns cavalry behind me."
Kerhan kept staring into Yan Liang's eyes as he spoke.
The reason why Kerhan deliberately underreported his troops was just to test Yan Liang and see his reaction.
Hearing Kerhan's words, Yan Liangliang smiled slightly and wanted to test me, okay, then I will give you a good show.
"I still have 100,000 elite soldiers behind me. If you don't wait for more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, why don't you retreat quickly? I can help your lord to make it clear that bygones are bygones."
There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and then he shouted at Kerhan loudly.
Kerhan is a fox, otherwise he wouldn't be so forbearing to sneak attack on Zhending.
Originally, the ambush in Sanshui proved that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he should have acted cautiously, but now Yan Liang only brought 3,000 troops and made a poor ambush strategy.
This also highlighted one thing from the side. Yan Liang had no soldiers at hand, so he had to make such a move to scare himself away and buy time.
"One hundred thousand elite soldiers? Damn, a mere three thousand troops want to stop me. Notify Sabuye and come quickly. The rest of the troops will follow me into the formation."
After thinking about this, Kerhan couldn't help but smile. The world-famous general is nothing more than a reckless man. He will destroy Yan Liang today.
The Huns have been the enemy of the Han people since ancient times. Their bows and horses are skillful, and their soldiers are brave. Otherwise, they would not have fought against the Han people for so many years. Now they are attacking Yan Liang's 2,500-man formation with a thousand cavalry, without any timidity at all.
meaning.
Yan Liang was not surprised but overjoyed when he saw the enemy charging. What does this prove? It proves that the Huns have been tricked.
"Mounted shooting."
One by one, the Huns bent their bows and set arrows, and scattered more than a thousand arrows at Yan Liang and his army.
