Li Changkong nodded when he heard this and said: "It is indeed possible that Li Jibei was Liu Jing's backhand for the last witchcraft disaster."
"So this letter may also be a trap."
"But..." Li Changkong changed the topic and continued: "I still tend to believe it."
When Liu Yu heard this, he looked surprised: "Old Li, is there something special about Li Jibei that makes you worthy of trusting him again and again?"
"You know, tomorrow's battle in Ziwu Valley will bring together our troops, Liu Jing's and the rebels' troops, totaling 50,000 troops!"
"Once defeated, it will be a disaster! There may not even be a chance for a comeback!"
"How can you trust others with such a big matter?"
Faced with Liu Yu's words, Li Changkong not only did not argue, but nodded firmly and said: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. In such an important battle, no matter what, you should not easily change the situation of the battle because of others." Decision.”
"But, what if I say that I don't believe in Li Jibei, but believe in myself?"
When Liu Yu heard this, his eyes shone a little.
Having known Li Changkong for so long, how could he not know that at this time, Lao Li would usually be ready to make a big move.
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
"In the past ten days or so, our army has been winning almost consecutive battles without any defeat."
"Although His Highness doesn't say it with his mouth, he is inevitably a little arrogant in his heart."
"As the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated. This fact is enough to make me worried."
"In addition, it is also crucial."
"Since arriving in Jiaozhou City, the doubts in my heart have never been answered from the beginning to the end."
"Until today, from this letter from Li Jibei, I finally got the answer."
"This way, everything will be explained!"
"Why in the past half month, we have been able to win every time, and we have won with overwhelming force, almost without any effort."
"Because the rebels sent to stop us are not their main force at all, or even troops at all, but temporary refugees!"
"They never even thought about winning, their goal from the beginning was to lose!"
"It's just to show the enemy's weakness, and then completely reverse the situation in the battle at Ziwu Valley and annihilate us all!"
"This is in line with my guess about Li Huai'an, or in other words, in line with my guess about the rebel leader!"
"How can someone who can kill Xinyang Hou and defeat Sheng Jin be so incompetent?"
"In addition, the same key point! It's Liu Jing!"
"He should have been more anxious than us, but since he entered Jiaozhou City, apart from clamoring to leave the city to chase the rebels at the beginning, he has been almost invisible and has not proactively proposed any strategies."
"This is not in line with the purpose and motivation of his coming here this time!"
"But if he had colluded with the rebel leader to ambush us in the Ziwu Valley, then his various negative behaviors would be explained."
"He and the rebels are allies, how can he take the initiative?"
"And as long as the rebels kill His Highness in the battle of Ziwu Valley, even if the counter-rebellion fails, Liu Jing will still make a lot of money!"
The more Li Changkong talked, the brighter his eyes became. It was clear, everything was clear!
If we speculate based on Li Jibei's letter, all the behaviors of Liu Jing and Li Huai'an can be explained!
The only thing that still puzzled him was why Li Huai'an never showed up, and why the rebels had so much food and grass.
However, when Liu Yu heard these words, he broke into a cold sweat.
Too dangerous!
If what Lao Li said is true, then Liu Jing and Li Huai'an were equivalent to digging a hole waiting for him to jump out of the moment he stepped into Jiaozhou City!
And because of this trap, the rebels even did not hesitate to show weakness to the enemy for more than ten days, losing tens of thousands of refugees and soldiers.
This kind of calculation is extremely cruel.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew in his heart that only such a rebel commander could defeat Sheng Jin, kill Zhang Huaiyang, and give the court a headache for half a year!
If he is really an incompetent person, something is wrong.
"I'm afraid, this is really possible." Liu Yu sighed, confirming Li Changkong's speculation.
"I have read so many military books in vain. I thought I had everything in mind. Who would have thought that I would suffer a big loss when I went on my first expedition?"
When Li Changkong heard this, he expressed relief and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Where can the world have such a victorious general?"
"What's more, this is just His Highness's first expedition, so he will inevitably suffer some setbacks. Besides, haven't we not lost yet?"
When Liu Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, the outcome has not yet been determined, and we don't know who will win, so how can we lose our morale first?"
"Lao Li, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Aren't we going to tomorrow's Battle of Ziwu Valley?"
When Li Changkong heard this, he shook his head: "Being timid before fighting is not our style."
"What's more, since Liu Jing and Li Huai'an have joined forces, we will be attacked from both sides sooner or later. Without Ziwu Valley this time, there will be other places."
"Instead of avoiding it, it's better to take the initiative."
"At least for tomorrow's battle in Ziwu Valley, we already know their plan, but they are still in the dark about this. We have the upper hand!"
"If this information gap is used properly, it will not be difficult to keep them all in Ziwu Valley!" Li Changkong's eyes were bright and his tone was confident.
The reason why he had been worried before was because they were in the open and there were too many unknown things.
But now they have turned from the light to the dark, and they already know everything they should know and what they shouldn't know.
There is a saying from our ancestors that soldiers have no constant potential and water has no constant shape. Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!
Under such circumstances, even if ten thousand beats forty thousand, he still feels that I have the advantage!
After Liu Yu heard this, he clicked his tongue.
He thought he was already arrogant enough, but who would have thought that Lao Li was even more arrogant than him.
Knowing that the enemy might be ambushing him, what this guy was thinking about was not how to avoid the ambush, but how to use this ambush to annihilate the enemy.
This brain circuit is so cruel!
No wonder he was already General Anbei at such a young age.
"Do you already have a solution?" Liu Yu asked.
Li Changkong nodded and said: "Absolutely."
Hearing this, Liu Yu was immediately overjoyed.
"But it's not enough for us alone. We have to call on Lao Zhu and Lao Jia."
"In addition, how many flags are there in the army? If there are not many, we need to rush to make a batch overnight."
"Also, we have to send out scouts overnight to explore the Ziwu Valley and find out where the rebels are camping. I'll be able to use all of this tomorrow!"
"Okay, I will make arrangements now!"
"Come here, go and call General Zhu and General Jia to me!"
