Chapter 3460 False Report

Chapter 3459 False Report

In the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, the most severe moment was also ushered in.

Dong Zhao walked into the tent with a tired look on his face and sat at the front seat on the side.

All the military academies couldn't help but cast their eyes around the vacant main seat.

Dong Zhao was silent for a moment and did not speak immediately.

In fact, at this moment, it would be better for him to sit in the middle.

After all, at the moment, some people in Cao Jun are panicking. Having one person standing in the middle to take responsibility will naturally make other people feel more at ease, but the problem is...

It was easy to sit on it, but Dong Zhao couldn't bear the responsibility that came with it.

To be honest, in Shandong, there are not many people who can sit calmly in the middle seat when the general is away and will not take responsibility for the war!

And now there are fewer and fewer...

This responsibility is not just the responsibility for failure. Even if you win, you may be impeached and attacked.

Anyway, Dong Zhao is still a little behind now. He doesn't dare to sit or do anything.

After Dong Zhao nodded, he went around and coughed, "Everyone, if you have something to discuss, if you have nothing else, just follow the instructions of Generals Cao and Lu!" 』

According to the habits of the previous two days, most of these military schools would have responded and filed out, each returning to their respective positions. However, today some people hesitated and did not move, while other military schools saw that some people were staying and did not leave. He just followed without moving.

Dong Zhao frowned slightly.

The few military schools hesitated to speak, their expressions looked a little ugly. They glanced at the other military schools in the tent, and seemed to exchange glances with each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

Just looking at this look, Dong Zhao already understood what was going on.

Dong Zhao straightened his back, looked at the military academies, and said in a deep voice: "If you have any questions, there is no harm in speaking up!" 』

The military academy was still a little hesitant.

Dong Zhao patted the table and said, "How can the army behave in such a weak manner?" ! If you don't say anything now, why don't you say anything in the army! Otherwise, he will be punished as a rebel! 』

After hearing what Dong Zhao said, some military officers said: "We, we heard that the Xiahou Commander-in-Chief defected to the Hussars..."

Dong Zhao asked, "Who did you hear this from?" 』

The military academy replied, "Some soldiers who returned from the desert said... They saw with their own eyes the Governor of Xiahou accompanying the Hussars General..."

Dong Zhao said lightly: "These people are so timid that they break up and run away from the battle. In order to shirk the blame, they put the blame on the Xiahou Governor." The Prime Minister has already concluded this. 』

Long before, there were rumors that Xiahou Dun surrendered to Hussar.

When Cao Cao was still here, of course no one dared to discuss this matter.

After Cao Hong's defeat, there were more secret discussions, but they didn't dare to say it openly.

Now...

Dong Zhao thought that if he said this, the matter would be over. However, it was not.

The military academy looked at each other, obviously not satisfied with Dong Zhao's statement and unwilling to accept it.

This is also a side effect of Dong Zhao not sitting on the throne.

If Dong Zhao really sits on it, he will naturally have the power of life and death. Of course, these military schools must weigh before speaking, otherwise they will have no place to complain if they are dealt with by military law.

The military academies exchanged glances with each other, as if they had made some determination. Then they turned to Dong Zhao and asked, "It's not that I want to get to the bottom of things, but the soldiers want to ask, when will the withdrawal... take place?" It's my turn to wait? 』

Dong Zhao glanced at the military academy officer and said, "Soon, it will be your turn soon." 』

"military adviser! I said that a few days ago! 』

"That's right!" 』

"That's what I said when I was in Anyi camp before. What was the result?" 』

"The military advisor can no longer deceive us!" 』

Dong Zhao asked curiously: "Why do you ask a certain person alone?" When Cao and Lu were both here before, why didn't you ask? ! 』

The military academy replied naturally: "The general is in charge of the military, and the military advisor is in charge of these logistics arrangements, isn't it?" If you don’t ask the military advisor, who are you going to ask? 』

Dong Zhao is indeed responsible for arranging these projects, but the question is who should go first and who should go last. Dong Zhao does not have the final say alone.

Affairs in the military camp are often like a mess, and you must have the patience to peel off the cocoons and unravel the threads. It is impossible to deal with everything immediately when you encounter it. Many times, it must be dealt with in a certain order.

Some time ago, Cao Cao also praised Dong Zhao for being patient and arranging things in an orderly manner. These military academies were also present, and they all nodded in agreement. However, only a few days have passed, and their attitudes are completely opposite.

"The emperor has an edict to punish thieves and defeat rebels." The Prime Minister followed the emperor's edict to level Heluo and enter Hedong..." Dong Zhao said slowly, "However, there was some chaos in Shandong, obstructing the Prime Minister's westward march and stealing grain and grass..."

"Strategist, strategist!" "The military academies obviously didn't want to hear the reasons for these matters, or they could be called excuses, so they interrupted Dong Zhao rudely, "Military advisor! It’s me and Erlang who are fighting desperately on the front line! Keep these words after returning to Shandong, and it will not be too late to say them on the seal! 』

Dong Zhao was a little angry, and when he was about to say something, the military academies looked sad, "Military advisor!" I originally had more than a hundred men under my command, but now most of them are dead or injured! These are all good boys! Now..."

"Those who escaped back are saying that they not only saw Governor Xiahou, but also General Cao Zilie!" 』

‘All of us ordinary soldiers died! Why can Commander Xiahou still ride on a tall horse and chat and laugh with the general of the cavalry? ! What are we fighting for? ’

‘The emperor’s edict? ! Why can someone go with the rebels when the emperor has an edict? ! ’

‘You said that ordinary soldiers can fight with the cavalry one moment and chat and laugh with the cavalry the next moment? ’

‘…’

The chaotic voices suddenly rang out in the big tent.

Dong Zhao wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly realized something.

He looked around and didn’t see the general of Cao’s family.

The general of Cao’s family who was in charge of logistics!

‘Where is the general of Cao’s family? ! Dong Zhao asked.

‘Military advisor, don’t pretend! Didn’t he leave on your orders? He left last night! ! ’ The military school replied.

Dong Zhao finally understood why these military schools came to ask him about the withdrawal of the army today. He thought about it for a while, and did not argue with the military academies anymore. Instead, he slowed down his tone and said, "You can rest assured. The prime minister has already made arrangements, and food, clothing, and weapons are all ready. General Cao will go to the front for you..." "Hehe..." The military academies couldn't help laughing, "Military Advisor! Do you believe this?" Dong Zhao took a breath, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it!" Dong Zhao wanted to say that even if the army was to be withdrawn, it was necessary to follow the steps. If everyone rushed out in a swarm, it would only cause congestion, and no one would be able to leave in the end. However, it was obvious that the military academies could not listen to these words. If the explanation was not feasible, then they could only be dispersed and defeated. Just when Dong Zhao used strategies to divide and deal with these military academies, suddenly a soldier rushed to the outside of the big tent and reported: "Report to the military advisor! There is an urgent military report! ! " The big tent was suddenly quiet! ... ... ... ... In the north of the Cao army's Zhongtiaoshan camp. A hidden place in the trench.

It is said that the Baibo bandits once hid here and set up camps, so it is also called the Thief's Ditch. However, the people stationed in this ditch now are not the Baibo bandits, but Sima Yi and Hao Zhao.

At the bottom of the ditch, Sima Yi was sitting on a stone thinking about something, and suddenly someone reported: "Captain Hao is back!"

Sima Yi turned around and looked, then stepped down the stone and walked towards Hao Zhao.

"The false report was sent in?" Sima Yi saw Hao Zhao and took the water bag from the guard beside him and handed it over.

As soon as autumn and winter came, the wind and sand began to grow stronger.

The cold wind from the north, mixed with sand and dust, when the wind was strong, it felt like sandpaper was being polished on the face!

Therefore, most of the soldiers and officers in the army have rough skin and thick flesh, cracked skin, and two colors on the back and palm of the hand.

Hao Zhao took the water, sipped it lightly, rinsed his mouth, spit out some of the sand in his mouth, drank a few sips, exhaled a long breath, nodded and said: "Sent it in! I watched with my own eyes, watching the Cao army's scouts run in. "

Sima Yi laughed and clapped his hands and said: "That's good! "

Hao Zhao also laughed, but he asked again: "Zhongda, can this false report really attract Cao's army? "

Sima Yi smiled, but said, "Not sure. "

Sima Yi's amazing turn almost made Hao Zhao slip his waist.

"Where..." Hao Zhao was a little stuck.

Not sure?

Hao Zhao wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"My lord has said that planning is up to man, and success is up to God. "Sima Yi smiled and said, "I can only do my best. "

Hao Zhao listened and could only nod silently.

It is not easy to send a false report in.

The dead soldiers are not a problem, because there are too many wounded in this war.

Some of the lightly wounded can still be counted on to recover, but for some seriously wounded people, even with the support of the Hundred Medical Clinics and the military doctors, the survival rate cannot be guaranteed 100%.

So among these people, it is not too difficult to find one or two who are willing to exchange their remaining lives for some merits.

What is more difficult is to teach these dead soldiers some of Cao's incisions. Not only to let these dead soldiers contact with Cao's scouts, but also to let these Cao's scouts believe that the false reports are true, and then take the false reports back.

The most difficult thing is to wait for the false reports to be sent in, and it may not work. It depends on whether the other party falls into the trap!

Sima Yi guessed what Hao Zhao was thinking, and smiled: "The Cao army is indeed heading north, right?"

"The scout reported that it is indeed so. "Hao Zhao nodded in response.

There is no doubt about this. They detected the movement of a large group of Cao's troops.

In this day and age, it is easy for a small group of people to hide their whereabouts, but it is difficult to cover up the movements of a large group of people.

'So with so many Cao troops dispatched, there must be a general of the Cao family leading them... The Cao army dispatched many groups of troops before and after, and the Zhongtiao Mountain camp must be empty! ' Sima Yi gestured with his hand, 'Zhongtiao Mountain must send troops to rescue! Then we will look for opportunities to break through the outer camp of Zhongtiao Mountain and destroy its fortifications! First, we can check the strength of the Cao army camp, and second, we can also detect the arrangements of the Cao army! '

Hao Zhao took a breath, thought about it, and felt that what Sima Yi said made sense, so he nodded, waited for a moment, and asked again: 'Is there any news from the lord? Is there really danger in the front army camp? '

Sima Yi smiled and said, "My lord is very far-sighted. How could he not know how risky it would be to send out all the front troops?" He must have arrived now, so there is no need for Bodao to worry. However, Cao Jun has been repairing the Zhongtiao Mountain camp for a long time, and there must be many traps. When he is about to rush in, he still needs to be careful. 』

Hao Zhao thought about it and felt that this was also the case. He should now be more concerned about the strategy of attacking Cao Jun's Zhongtiao Mountain Camp and do the things in front of him well.

As for the former army camp, first Xu Chu was in charge, and secondly Sima Yi had written an urgent report in advance and sent it to Fei Qian. It was not his turn as a newly promoted captain to talk about how to arrange it, so he and Sima Yi got together again. On the edge of the map, I was thinking about how to avoid Cao Jun's detection and how to attack.

Their concealment distance is towards the west. Although it is not in the main defense direction of Cao Jun, once the troops and horses move, some traces are difficult to cover up, so they need to lurk to the left and right of Baihao Valley first, and they must be well hidden. Discovered by the sentinels of Cao Jun's vanguard.

At the same time, the two must make some arrangements in terms of the rhythm and arrangement of the attack in order to effectively cooperate and coordinate.

The two discussed for a long time before finally deciding on the steps and methods.

However, even if Sima Yi is extremely intelligent, he may not be able to predict the changes on the battlefield...

…

…

Also obscured by the fog of the battlefield was not only Cao Jun, but also Fei Qian.

Fei Qian looked at the former army camp in the distance, and then stared at Cao Jun's military line further away. After looking at it for a long time, he put down his telescope, squeezed his dry eyeballs, and closed his eyes to take a rest.

He had a headache.

The opacity of battlefield information is undoubtedly a big problem for every general.

Fei Qian originally fought on the back line, so by the time the information was passed to him, the changes on the battlefield had most likely already occurred or were developing, so Fei Qian could deduce some based on the current changes. Take the context and then make a judgment.

Moreover, Fei Qian's previous strategies were basically overall and overall, and were specific to the details of the battlefield, such as who defeated whom, or whether the soldier cut down the opponent's flag. For Fei Qian, , is not the most critical issue.

Fei Qian is more concerned about the overall victory or defeat, whether the layout of the entire front is complete, etc...

The situation on the front line is obviously more trivial and complicated.

Fei Qian looked up at the sky and murmured, "Cao's army won't attack today?" 』

Fei Qian and his men did not arrive at the scene at the last critical moment. Just like Mitty's late police, they waited until the men were almost dead before coming out to wash the ground. Instead, they ambush behind the former military camp in advance.

Cao Jun came, but did not fight...

This is very strange.

It also made Fei Qian very confused.

Raid?

Not like that.

After all, a surprise attack must have a sudden effect. What does it mean to delay the attack?

After learning about the situation reported by Xu Chu, Sima Yi and others on the front line, Fei Qian felt that something was not good. After all, the troops of the former army camp were attracted to the vicinity of Suoyang Pass, which would inevitably lead to the emptiness of the former army camp.

In fact, speaking of it, the general model of war has been roughly established in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The subsequent generals and gods of war basically developed and recreated the original model.

Fei Qian didn't have many so-called revolutionary innovations. He felt that Cao Jun would come, so he hid behind the former army camp.

Fei Qian was carrying cavalry, so he planned to observe from a distance, and then wait for Cao Jun to focus on the front camp before attacking.

But……

Why are you so fat now?

Indeed, as Fei Qian expected, Cao's army came. However, after Cao's army arrived, they did not launch an attack immediately as Fei Qian expected. It's the same as luring Feiqian's hussars to attack.

What did Cao Jun think?

Fei Qian couldn't understand, so he had a headache.

If he is a general with ninety-nine strength and is almost at full level, he might as well rush out with his troops right now. No matter how Cao Jun arranged or designed it, he is just killing, killing, killing!

The force of eighty is just fine.

It's a pity that Fei Qian has grown up from not as good as Zhan Wuzha to Zhan Wuzha. He looks like the same thing when wearing armor. Does he really want to go into battle and kill the enemy in front of the battle with swords and guns...

Well, forget it.

"Lord!" 』

Fei Qian looked back and saw Huang Xu walking over.

"My lord, it's been a long time since Cao's army arrived, and they haven't launched an offensive yet," Huang Xu said, "Could they have discovered that we are here?" But I went to check around and found no signs of exposure. Cao Jun’s sentinels are also near the former army camp and have not come to us..."

Fei Qian picked up the telescope again and took a closer look.

Even with the help of telescopes, the figures of Cao Jun soldiers in the distance were about the size of ants.

Of course, Fei Qian felt that Cao Jun was too small when he looked at Cao Jun with a telescope. When Cao Jun looked at Fei Qian from there, he should have been even less able to see it. So why didn't Cao Jun take action?

Are they waiting for Xu Chu to return to the army?

Um?

Fei Qian took a breath, it was really possible.

Fei Qian pondered for a moment, "There must be some changes in Cao's army...perhaps, they are preparing to ambush Xu Zhongkang?" 』

If Cao Jun planned this, it is not completely impossible.

After all, if Xu Chu knew that his camp was attacked, he might rush back. If he was ambushed during a rapid march, even if Xu Chu was very brave, ordinary soldiers would suffer huge losses.

And in comparison, it is easier to attack a camp with fortifications or to ambush and kill the scattered reinforcements on the way. This is a matter of opinion.

Although Fei Qian has a telescope, he is not a clairvoyant. He cannot know what Cao's army is thinking and what they are doing. He can only make judgments based on the existing information.

『My lord, what should we do now? 』

Huang Xu asked.

Fei Qian thought for a moment, 『We will wait here. 』

Huang Xu was stunned for a moment, 『Still waiting? 』

Fei Qian nodded, 『That's right. Wait until dark. As soon as it gets dark, we will start! 』
