The camp was very quiet except for the crackling fire and the footsteps of patrolling soldiers.
At the end of the third watch and approaching the fourth watch, bursts of rapid trumpet sounds suddenly came from outside the camp.
The sound of the horn was urgent and sharp, making the soldiers on night watch nervous.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
…
The soldiers on guard at night shouted loudly, causing the soldiers who were immersed in sleep to wake up.
The soldiers gathered and everyone stood at the entrance of the camp, looking warily into the dark distance to prevent anyone from raiding. However, after the horn sounded, there was no other reaction in the distance. This situation was a bit strange.
The soldiers looked at each other, a little confused.
After a while, Sun Jian, wearing armor and carrying an ancient ingot sword, hurried out and asked, "What happened? Did Lu Bu attack the camp again?"
The night watchman raised his hands and said, "Reporting to the general, except for the sound of horns in the distance, there was no other sound."
Sun Jian was a little surprised, frowned and said: "It's that simple, there is nothing else? If you think about it carefully, are there any things that have been missed?"
The colonel looked firm and said: "General, this is what happened, there is no other movement."
Sun Jian took a deep breath, his face uncertain.
After listening to Xiao Xiao's words, Sun Jian vaguely felt that this was Lu Bu's strategy to harass him.
But when the two armies are fighting, there can be no carelessness. Even if Lu Bu disturbs the camp, Sun Jian must be cautious when facing Lu Bu, a fierce tiger. While Sun Jian was deep in thought, Wang Can also put on his armor and rushed to the gate of the camp.
, looking at the empty and dark area outside the camp, Wang Can immediately understood that it must be Lu Bu who was playing rogue and disturbing the camp.
This little trick may not be popular, but people have to pay attention to it.
Wang Can has also used this method. It is effective but does not require much manpower and material resources.
"Brother Wentai, what did you find?"
Wang Can walked up to Sun Jian and asked politely.
Sun Jian shook his head and replied: "First of all, after a burst of horn sound was heard outside the camp, there was no movement. I guess it was Lu Bu who wanted to retaliate against us and deliberately asked people to blow the horn outside the camp so that our soldiers could not rest well. However,
, this is not necessarily a harassment, it is also possible that Lu Bu led his soldiers to hide in the dark, and waited for us to lower our guard to make a sudden attack, hoping to catch us off guard."
Wang Can nodded repeatedly, first affirming what Sun Jian said, and said: "Brother Wentai is right, there are only two possibilities at most." At this point, Wang Can paused, and then said: "But I am more inclined to
The first kind of harassment is to prevent us from resting, which is Lu Bu's real purpose."
Sun Jian said: "Tell me what you think about it first."
Wang Canxiao said: "There are three reasons. One is that Lu Bu led his army back and forth several times tonight to defeat us, but all failed, which made Lu Bu's soldiers demoralized, physically and mentally exhausted, and did not have enough energy to fight;
Secondly, our army has gathered together, there are many generals, and there are Zilong and Wentai brothers, so blocking Lu Bu will definitely not be a problem, and there are also generals such as Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Pei Yuanshao, etc., when we fight against Lu Bu, we will definitely have the advantage; thirdly, Lu Bu feels distressed
The Red Rabbit and Horse are afraid that the Red Rabbit and Horse will be shot by me, so they are afraid of their heads and tails, throwing rat weapons at them and not daring to send troops."
"With these three points in mind, I believe Lu Bu is just harassing us and has no intention of attacking the camp."
"As for the people hiding in the dark outside the camp, there is no need to pay any attention to them."
Wang Can talked eloquently, and even Sun Jian looked at him sideways when he spoke his words, and his slightly impetuous heart calmed down.
Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed in Sun Jian's mind.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Jian calmed down his excitement and said slowly: "First of all, since Lu Bu is not attacking the camp, it must be that the army is camping in the open air, and the Xiliang soldiers outside our camp are just sentinels. This
In this case, why don’t we lead the army directly to Lu Bu, take advantage of the low morale of Lu Bu’s army, and defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop.”
Wang Can looked shocked and asked: "Brother Wentai, have you thought clearly?"
Sun Jian nodded and said: "Of course I have figured it out. A great opportunity is right in front of me. How can I let it go?"
Wang Can asked: "Brother Wentai, how to determine the location of Lu Bu's army?"
Sun Jian smiled and said: "Just send out scouts. Lu Bu's army will definitely leave traces as it gallops. Moreover, if Lu Bu retreats along the official road, he might still stay in the original camp?"
Wang Can asked again: "How to deal with the people who are hiding in the dark and disturbing the camp?"
Sun Jian looked disdainful and said with a smile: "Don't worry about what he does. Don't pay attention to those people."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Brother Wentai, when our army sets out, people hiding in the dark will definitely find it. If they go to report the news, wouldn't they reveal their whereabouts? By then Lu Bu will be prepared, and we will not be able to raid Lu Bu. Wen
Brother, do you think it is possible to severely injure Lu Bu in this situation?"
After hearing this, Sun Jian showed hesitation on his face.
If Lu Bu was prepared, it would definitely not be easy to deal with him.
Sun Jian sighed and said: "What I said first is right, brother Wei is not thinking well. In this case, everyone disperses. Those who should guard the camp, those who should sleep, do not pay attention to those who are hiding in the dark.
." There was some regret in Sun Jian's tone. Just as Sun Jian finished speaking, a sharp and harsh sound suddenly came from the air, and a bow and arrow streaked across the night sky. The arrow flashed with cold murderous intent and headed straight for Wang Can.
"Clang!"
Sun Jian pulled out the ancient ingot sword in his hand, the sword flashed and split the incoming bow and arrow into two sections.
Wang Can looked into the distance, his eyes shining brightly.
"Brother Wentai, I have decided to attack Lu Bu according to Brother Wentai's idea." Wang Can clenched his fists and smiled, with a sinister smile on his face. Sun Jian saw Wang Can's expression and felt happy in his heart. Wang Can
He must have had a countermeasure before he said this.
Sun Jian looked happy and said: "Be the first to come up with the plan?"
Wang Can said: "Brother Wentai, wait for me for a while. After I arrange Gao Shun and the Xiliang soldiers I just captured, I will discuss it with Brother Wentai."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can left.
Gao Shun and the soldiers trapped in the camp are both the fruits of victory for Wang Can, and there cannot be any difference. Gao Shun, in particular, is the top priority. Wang Can cannot relax his vigilance against Gao Shun just because he attacks Lu Bu. Things must be done early.
Make arrangements to ensure that nothing happens to Gao Shun and the trapped camp.
Wang Can went straight to Zhao Yun's camp and sent people to find Pei Yuanshao.
In the big tent, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Pei Yuanshao were all sitting in the tent. Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanshao's eyes showed anticipation. Gao Shun closed his eyes to rest, as if he didn't see Wang Can. Wang Can didn't waste any words and ordered directly:
"Zilong, you immediately summon the soldiers from the broken army camp and prepare to go to war!"
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and shouted: "No!"
Wang Can nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to Zhao Yun to summon the soldiers from the broken barracks.
Immediately, Wang Can ordered again: "Pei Yuanshao, tonight Zilong and I will lead the army camp, and Sun Jian's army will prepare to attack Lu Bu. You command the Hanzhong soldiers to stay in the camp, and you must guard the trapped soldiers in the camp without any carelessness.
"
"promise!"
Pei Yuanshao knew that falling into the camp was important to Wang Can, so he agreed without any hesitation. After Wang Can finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that Pei Yuanshao could leave. After Pei Yuanshao left, Wang Can looked at Gao Shun, who had his eyes closed, and then
Said: "Gao Shun, you and I attack Lu Bu."
Hearing this, Gao Shun stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "You are attacking my lord, why should I go?"
Wang Cansen's cold eyes stayed on Gao Shun, and he said coldly: "What do you think I am doing by keeping your life? Just raising you like this? Not letting you do things... Hehe, you think too wonderfully, tonight
You come with me to attack Lu Bu, kill a few Xiliang soldiers, and eat meat."
Gao Shun didn't even think about it and immediately refused: "Wang Can, you are going too far to deceive others. This matter is absolutely impossible!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "It's up to you whether to kill or not. If you don't want to kill, I will help you kill the soldiers trapped in the camp. You can decide for yourself."
After hearing this, Gao Shun's face turned gloomy. He pointed at Wang Can, his body was trembling with fear, and cursed: "Wang Can, you are a despicable villain. You only know how to play dirty tricks. If you have the ability to challenge me, you will win."
I submit to you, if you lose..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Can interrupted: "Gao Shun, wake up, do you think these words are credible? This is a battlefield, not a child's play. You are also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, so you should understand."
When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Wang Can chuckled and said, "Let's go, don't let Zilong wait too long."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can stood up and walked out of the tent first.
In the big tent, Gao Shun looked ugly and had a complicated expression. He finally gritted his teeth and followed Wang Can and left the tent.
