Zhang Liao shook his head, "No, he probably doesn't want us to win either. What he wants is for us to lose both sides. This is the best thing for him."
At this point, Zhang Liao's tone paused, and then he said, "This time, the fight was held at the bottom of the stone mountain. If I remember correctly, there is a river on the left side of the stone mountain. The place for the fight is at the river. And in the middle of Stone Mountain.”
Chen Dao suddenly said, "Cao Mengde arranged the battle here. Do they want to set up an ambush?"
Zhang Liao nodded, "That's definitely the case. The terrain inside the stone mountain is complicated. If an ambush is set up, it will definitely not be easy for us to discover it."
Chen Dao nodded, "Yes, there is also something fishy about the river."
Zhang Liao frowned and said, "The terrain there is complicated. The reason why they chose the battle location there is that they probably wanted to set up an ambush and then take the opportunity to defeat our army."
When Lu Bu heard what the two said, he was convinced and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, there were hurried footsteps again outside the door.
Soon, a soldier hurried in from outside the door and said, "Marquis Wen, someone shot a letter with an arrow outside the camp."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Send it up quickly."
When the soldier delivered the letter, Lu Bu quickly started to read it. After reading it, he couldn't help laughing.
"It's really unexpected. As soon as Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, made an appointment with us, someone reported to us."
At this point, Lu Bu raised the letter in his hand and said with a smile, "It's very clear from the above. The eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, chose to fight with us this time. The reason why he chose that place is indeed because he wanted to ambush an ambush."
At this point, Lu Bu turned to look at Zhang Liao, "As you just said, the terrain inside the stone mountain is complex, which is a good place to set up an ambush. It is true. This letter specifically states that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has already set up an ambush. An ambush is set up there.”
Cheng Lian scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect that we would really guess it."
Chen Dao asked hurriedly, "What about that side of the river? Is there an ambush?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "There is no ambush there, but they want to intercept the river there."
Chen Dao's expression changed, "They want to use river water to deal with us?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has a comprehensive plan. They set up an ambush in the mountains and took the opportunity to attack us.
Then intercept the river water, and then when we retreat, open the sluice and release the water to wash us down first and completely wipe out our army. "
Hearing this, Cheng Lian was stunned for a moment, and then yelled, "Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, is so cruel. If we are really fooled by them, we may be in danger."
Zhang Liao nodded, "Yes, this time the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has a comprehensive plan, which is to completely wipe out our army and resolve the battle in one battle.
Therefore, the purpose of the river is to cut off our army's retreat and make it impossible for our army to escape, so that they can take the opportunity to destroy our army. "
Lu Bu looked at the contents of the letter and imagined the scene at that time, and became more and more surprised.
If we go by what the letter says, I'm afraid this battle will really be lost.
Of course, the premise is that you are willing to agree to his invitation to fight?
It can be said that with such a thorough plan, as long as you agree to this battle, your side will definitely lose without any suspense.
