When Cao Mengde heard what the two said, his heart suddenly moved.
Lu Qian is right!
If there is really an ambush by Lu Bu's army in the mountains, then their main target should be their own large troops, not just a few spies.
If Cao Mengde had set up this ambush himself, he would never let anyone attack the spies, because the other party would find out and the plan would fail.
But now Lu Bujun in the mountains intercepted the spies. What happened?
Could it be said that there is no large army of Lu Bu's army in the mountains?
That's why they didn't care about being discovered, and their main target was not themselves. They just wanted to stop themselves on this side of the mountain and ambush Cao Hong on the other side of the mountain.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde hurriedly turned to look at Lu Qian and asked tentatively, "Did you mean the same thing?"
Lu Qian hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "My lord, this is just a guess."
At this point, Lu Qian's tone paused, "If I set an ambush, no matter how many spies the other party has passing by, you will never intercept it. Only in this way can the other party believe that there is no ambush in the mountains, and the plan will succeed."
Cao Mengde's eyes gradually brightened, and he turned to look at Le Jin, "General Le, what do you think?"
Le Jin hurriedly handed over his hand, "This is reasonable, but we have to guard against fraud."
No one can be sure about things like this, because these are all guesses.
But most people think that this guess is correct, that is to say, Lu Bu's army in the mountains is most likely a feint, and there is no real ambush.
But no one dared to say this, because if they guessed wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
Of course Cao Mengde knew what they were thinking, nodded, and finally turned to look at Cheng Yu and asked slowly, "Mr. Zhongde, in your opinion, is there an ambush by Lu Bu's army in the mountains?"
Upon hearing the question, Cheng Yu nodded without hesitation and said with certainty, "Yes."
Cao Mengde was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Zhongde, do you think what everyone just said is wrong?"
Cheng Yu sighed, "What everyone said makes sense, but it is just speculation.
Even if Lu Bu's army is ambushed in the mountains, he can still send people to intercept our spies. "
Lu Qian asked hurriedly, "If Lu Bu is not worried about being discovered, wouldn't his plan fail?"
Cheng Yu shook his head, turned his head and looked at the looming mountains in the distance, and said slowly, "Now that things have evolved like this, no matter what the outcome, Lu Bujun has the upper hand.
They are ambushing us in the mountains. It would be best if they could ambush us.
And even if we are not fooled, General Zilian on the other side of the mountain may be in danger.
This means that no matter what we do, Lu Bu's army will gain enough benefits from this battle.
And what we strive for is nothing more than smaller losses. "
When Cao Mengde heard what Cheng Yu said, his face couldn't help but change, and he secretly cried out.
Cheng Yu was right. Regardless of whether he went there or not, Cao Hong would be in danger.
Han Hao suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Mr. Zhongde, isn't this a pig? General Zilian will definitely fall into their siege?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde's heart suddenly lifted and he hurriedly turned to look at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu sighed, "General Han, you are right. This time, General Zilian may be really in danger."
