After thinking for a while, a gleam of wisdom flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he looked at Xun You with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, do you think this letter is fraudulent? It was deliberately shown to us by the Xianbei people in Wujin County."
Looking at Yuan Shu's expression, Xun You also smiled slightly.
"Haha, those who gave birth to me are my parents, and those who know me are fair. Yes, I think this letter is their pattern of differentiation. It is a smoke bomb they put out to confuse us."
Yuan Shu's smile suddenly bloomed, like the rising sun.
"What my lord said is true. The Qiang people in Shuofang County, the Xiongnu people in Wuyuan County, and the Xianbei people in Dingxiang County in Yunzhong are fighting endlessly for territory. Not to mention they are mortal enemies, they are almost the same.
Moreover, the Hu people have no concept that cooperation will benefit both parties and division will harm both parties. This can be seen when we attacked Wuyuan, so it is basically hopeless for them to send troops."
Xun You pointed out the key point directly. If we unite, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will suffer two harms. If we were in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the princes might put aside their prejudices and mobilize troops to rescue, but here it would be a no.
"Yeah, but I'm quite looking forward to the Qiang people from Shuofang County sending troops. In this case, we can set up an ambush in Wuyuan County and severely kill the Qiang people's prestige, which will also weaken the strength of Shuofang County in disguise.
"
Yuan Shu had a different view.
"My lord is right. If you really want to fight an ambush in Wuyuan County, there is nothing you can do."
Upon hearing Yuan Shu's words, Xun You's eyes flashed, and an immature idea exploded in his mind.
"how to say?"
Yuan Shu looked at Xun You, this great talent had never let him down.
"My lord, the foreigners value profit but not justice. It's actually easy to get them to send troops. Just make the Qiang people feel that it is profitable."
At this point, Yuan Shu basically understood what he meant.
"You mean to turn Wuyuan County into a gold mine, and then completely expose it to the Qiang people in Shuofang County, so that they feel that this is a piece of fat, and it is also a piece of fat that they have no defense against, so that the wolves in Shuofang County
Then they will come out and look for food by themselves.”
Yuan Shu looked at Xun You and expressed his understanding. After all, he was experienced in many battles. He had experienced a lot following these great conspirators, and his growth was obvious.
"Well, Lord, what you said is exactly what I wanted to say, so there are two things we have to do now. One is to immediately send people back to Wuyuan County to make arrangements and arrange everything to lure the snake out of the cave. The other is to postpone the attack time and give
The time of the Qiang people in Shuofang County, otherwise the fight would have been over here before they even set off, and they would have retreated, and it would be difficult to fish them out again."
Xun You thought for a moment and gave a general direction.
"Well, it's basically a war here. Wuyuan County needs to be arranged, and there needs to be arranged by you."
Yuan Shu looked at Xun You and decided to transfer Xun You to Wuyuan County to take charge.
"Well, leave it to me there."
Xun You nodded. There is really nothing that he needs here. He believes that Yuan Shu is fully capable of doing the job. Besides, Dong Zhao is still here, so the Xianbei people can't make any trouble.
"How many people are you planning to take back?"
Now that the person in charge has been decided, the next step is to select soldiers.
"I want to buy time this time. I am going to take all the cavalry. I want to take away Zilong and his Yingyang army. There are Xianbei affiliated troops here, so I also want to take away the dead Xiongnu army. Moreover, we are facing the Xianbei people here.
, so I also want to take away the Xianbei mercenaries, roughly these soldiers and horses."
Now that he decided to return to Wuyuan County, Xun You also quickly made a choice among his troops.
Yingyang's army consisted of more than 20,000 people, plus more than 20,000 Xiongnu dead troops, and about 20,000 Xianbei mercenaries, for a total of more than 70,000 cavalry.
Abandoning Yuan Shu, there are only Gao Lan's Weilu army, Wuhuan mercenaries, Xihe cavalry, Xiongnu and Wuhuan cavalry who surrendered from Shangjun, plus the Xianbei affiliated army, and nearly 90,000 cavalry, coupled with the Xianden army,
The Iron Wall Army, the Tiger Army, and the Guards Army totaled more than 120,000 troops.
"Well, let's take action and beat the drum to gather the generals."
"Dong dong dong."
After Yuan Shu ordered the general, the army was divided into two. One group was led by Yuan Shu and continued to march into Wujin County, while the other group, led by Xun You, galloped towards Wuyuan County with horses and whips in full swing.
"Sir, they have divided their forces. Yuan Shu has divided his forces."
An anxious clan member rushed into Banbor's tent and reported the news to his clan leader.
"Really?"
After hearing the news from the scouts, Bamber stood up suddenly.
Just like Yuan Shu sent scouts, Banbor also sent a large number of scouts to detect Yuan Shu's actions. Although they were not as detailed as Yuan Shu, they could still detect big actions.
"Well, there should be roughly tens of thousands of riders heading towards Wuyuan County."
The scout reported the situation he had to Bamber seriously.
"Okay, I'm anxious for the heads of the other four tribes to come to discuss the matter."
"promise."
In a short time, the four clan leaders rushed to Banbor's tent together.
"Haqina, your strategy has taken effect. Yuan Shu has divided his troops and headed to Wuyuan County."
Looking at the four clan leaders, Banbor directly announced the good news he had just discovered.
"Really? How many people left?"
Haqina stood up immediately. He did not expect that his strategy actually succeeded.
"The specific number is unclear, but there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry. This means that the enemy cavalry in front of us has suffered a great loss, and the effect we wanted has been achieved."
Bamber smiled at Hatchina.
"Okay, then shall we launch a surprise attack on Yuan Shu?"
Hearing Banbol's words, Balkan raised his eyebrows and wanted to send troops to sneak attack Yuan Shu.
"In the Balkans, think twice before you act. Although Yuan Shu has divided his forces, his strength cannot be underestimated. Now a sneak attack is basically a moth flying into a flame, leading to his own destruction."
Hearing Balkan's words, Kenbad couldn't help but frowned. You guys are really reckless. You actually want to take the initiative in this situation.
"Well, I think we should wait. If the Qiang people attack, the crisis in Wuyuan County will be great. It is Yuan Shu's supply center now. If the pressure there increases, I believe Yuan Shu will never sit idly by.
, it is very likely that the troops will be divided again to go for reinforcements.”
Ha Qina had the same idea and did not agree to take the initiative.
"What are you afraid of? We're going to fight anyway. What's the difference between fighting now and fighting later?"
Balkan still insists on his own opinion.
"Balkans, let's wait and see the situation first."
Bamber thought for a while and decided to sit back and watch the situation in Wuyuan County for the time being before making a decision.
"I also agree not to move for the time being."
The last clan leader also supports not moving for the time being.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, really, eh."
After Balkan finished speaking, he turned around and left the tent.
"Don't worry about him. Send scouts to Wuyuan County. We need to grasp the battle situation as soon as possible."
"Um."
Although the war clouds were rolling in Wujin County, the aura of war was suppressed by Yuan Shu. On the contrary, Wuyuan County in the rear became tense now.
