"Military advisor, it's only been half a day, how can we get news so quickly?"
Le Jin glanced at Xun Yu and went to Xiahou Dun to clarify.
"Hey, that's right. Then don't sit idle. Bring someone with you immediately. I'll dig three feet into the ground to know Cheng Yu's location."
"promise."
Xun Yu gave an order, and the entire Cao camp exploded. After a while, Cao Hong and Le Jin each led a wave of soldiers and horses out of the camp to find Cheng Yu's location.
In a mountain valley on the bank of Jishui River, Zhang Fei and Cheng Yu sat looking at each other.
"Military advisor, why can my second brother garrison at Pingyindu openly, and why should we hide here?"
Zhang Fei looked around, frowned and asked Cheng Yu.
"Third general, soldiers are crafty. Second general is just a cover. We are the real trump card. How can we keep the trump card in the open?"
Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Fei and couldn't help but smile.
"The trump card? Military advisor, are we the trump card?"
Hearing that he was the trump card, Zhang Fei couldn't help but get a little excited.
"Yes, it must be a trump card."
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Then why did we come to the Jishui River bank?"
After the excitement, Zhang Fei had another problem.
"Third General, if you only have 40,000 to 50,000 men, but you are facing dozens or millions of Yellow Turbans, how should you fight this battle?"
Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Fei, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"If it were me, I would definitely lead all the soldiers and horses to raid at night, set fires, kill people, and create chaos. In this way, I would be able to defeat the Yellow Turbans."
Zhang Fei didn't even think about it. As a reckless person throughout the ages, he would not be afraid even if he faced millions of Yellow Turbans alone, let alone tens of thousands of elites.
"Third General, I know you are unparalleled, but it is still difficult for 40,000 to 50,000 people to attack a million Yellow Turbans at night, and there is another 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops watching eagerly beside you. Do you still dare to attack at night in such a situation?
"
"Military advisor, what do you think Xun Yu will do? How can we not only be unable to separate ourselves but also defeat the Yellow Turbans?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhang Fei suddenly fell into thinking, but gave up after thinking for a while.
"Since there are things that cannot be solved by manpower, we can only rely on the right time and place. I have explored the topography around Lu County. After careful consideration, it seems that the only thing that can be utilized is the Jishui River."
After speaking, Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Fei in front of him.
"What the military advisor means is that Xun Yu is going to implement the flooding strategy? That's why you brought us here to ambush in advance?"
Cheng Yu has explained it this way. If Zhang Fei still doesn't understand, then he is really stupid.
"Yes, Xun Yu will definitely implement the flood strategy, but there is a prerequisite for implementing the flood strategy. It has not rained in Jibei Kingdom for so many days, and Jishui has long lost its original vastness, so the first priority is to make it rain.
, continuous heavy rain.”
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei looked up at the sky. The sun in the sky was still so bright, and there was no sign of rain at all.
"But you want it to rain today? Is it possible?"
After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Cheng Yu also shook his head. Although he was also a wise man, he had no knowledge of the sky, and he didn't know whether it would rain.
"Whether it rains or not, I am just making arrangements based on the strategic arrangements that Xun Yu may make. As long as Xun Yu wants to use this water attack strategy, we can take advantage of the fire and avenge Shangdong County.
.”
"knew."
Zhang Fei nodded, as Cheng Yu said, they don't know whether it will rain or not, as long as they know what Xun Yu wants to do.
"Second General, all the scouts who broke into the camp have been killed and no one has escaped."
A man who looked like a school captain knelt down next to Guan Yu and reported the battle situation to him.
"Everything will continue as usual. All enemies within five miles of the camp will be killed."
"promise."
After the captain left, Guan Yu looked at the sky. Cheng Yu took Zhang Fei and 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north, leaving him with 20,000 soldiers to guard Pingyin Ferry. When leaving, Guan Yu was left alone by Cheng Yu.
"Second General, this time you act as light and I act as cover. You only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, but you have to create the appearance of an army of 40,000. Only in this way can we conceal our movements.
Let me give you a suggestion, not only use the strategy of increasing the number of stoves, but also use all the scouts to kill all the enemy scouts near the camp. You must not give them the chance to find out your true and false situation. Only the false and true facts will make people unable to grasp it.
"
Facing Cheng Yu's plan, Guan Yu was different from Zhang Fei. He followed Cheng Yu's plan 100%, which is why Xiahou Dun still hasn't found out their position and reality.
"Sir, all the scouts who were sent out have returned. Only the scouts who went to Pingyindu have not been heard from yet."
The scout chief came to Xiahou Dun and reported the situation to him.
"Pingyin Crossing? Increase the number of manpower and investigate again."
Xiahou Dun frowned, Pingyindu was a good place, there were ravines everywhere, it would be too easy to hide tens of thousands of people.
"Here."
Two hours passed, and there was still no news from the scouts sent by Xiahou Dun to Pingyindu.
"Yuan Rang."
"General Xiahou."
Just when Xiahou Dun was worried, Cao Hong and Le Jin came over together.
"Zilian, Wen Qian, why are you here?"
After seeing the two of them, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but be stunned.
"According to the order of the military advisor, we used the fastest speed to detect Cheng Yu's location. How about it? Is there any progress?"
Cao Hong looked at Xiahou Dun and asked him a question with a slight smile.
"The surrounding areas have been explored, but there is no news about the scouts sent to Pingyindu. I have sent additional manpower to investigate."
Xiahou Dun did not hide anything and directly told the news in front of him.
"General Xiahou, if it were me, I would also ambush my troops and horses at Pingyindu. There are 40,000 to 50,000 enemies. If they spread their scouts everywhere, it would be very easy to isolate this place. Relying on scouts alone is no longer enough. It won't work.
Let me take a walk."
Hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Le Jin frowned, and then volunteered to explore the bottom.
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, Wen Qian."
Xiahou Dun glanced at Le Jin and then bowed his hand to him.
"Business matters."
Le Jin clasped his fists and led a few scouts directly towards Pingyin Ferry.
After a period of time, Le Jin killed seven or eight of Guan Yu's scouts and finally reached the vicinity of Guan Yu's camp.
From the size of Guan Yu's camp, the number of military tents, and the cooking stoves set up in the camp, Le Jin had roughly figured out the number of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, and quietly sneaked back.
"General, are you going to let him leave like this?"
Guan Yu and the chief scout looked at Le Jin who was gradually disappearing, and the chief scout couldn't help but ask him questions.
"Du Bing, what is said is that what is false is real, and what is true is false. If we blindly use false words, Cao Jun will not be able to figure out our base, and it is very likely that the enemy will be suspicious and think that we are pretending to be suspicious.
But now I let the enemy come over, but I only let him see what I want him to see, so that Cao Jun will not be suspicious, do you understand?"
Guan Yu smiled slightly and explained to Chen Yu, the scout chief beside him.
"Thank you, General, for reminding me. I understand."
