After hearing the intelligence from the rear, unlike Shen Tu Guan, Yu Chiding's face was full of anger. Especially knowing that his own think tank, Jie Yu, had lost several games in a row.
It's not that he's angry with his brother, but those damn Shu people are so cunning and cunning. Hebei Wuliang has not yet become famous all over the world, but it has become a laughing stock.
Shen Tuguan's intention was for him to retreat and protect the two wings of the Chinese army.
Yuchi Ding gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still could not defeat the wolf clan Shu general on the opposite side. But the situation is not right, so we can only retreat temporarily.
"One day, I, Lieutenant Chi Ding, will lead the army from Beiyu to Chengdu." With a cold snort, Yu Chi Ding quickly retreated with his men and horses without any further hesitation.
On the other side, Chao Yi frowned, without much surprise on his face. The little strategist wanted him to wait for the opportunity and prepare to outflank the Beiyu army entering the formation. Unfortunately, Shentu Guan's Beiyu Army did not join the battle. Moreover, Yuchi Ding just did not raise his army to attack, only a few small-scale battles.
"The war is getting more and more chaotic. I wonder if the little military advisor can keep Shen Tu Guan."
…
"It's extremely difficult." Dongfang raised his head in admiration and said in a deep voice, "First there is the matter of Jiang Meng. It is no longer easy to fall into the trap of the Tu Guan."
Even in the fighting formation, Shen Tu Guan firmly defended the central army, and his men and horses were not lured into the eight-door locking formation. It is very difficult for a world-famous general to kill with one blow.
"Military advisor, what should we do now? The Lord's side is almost here, and the Beiyu people have begun to withdraw. If not, we will take advantage of this opportunity for the Beiyu people to withdraw, and we will wait for a kill."
Dongfang Jing shook his head.
"In terms of formations, even I can't compare to Shentu Guan. Such an open terrain makes him feel like a fish in water. If he dares to withdraw from the formation, it means that he has a complete plan. With such a cautious temperament People are unlikely to resort to fraud and retreat. If we attack at this time, we will engage in counter-suppression."
"Military advisor, if we don't attack, how will our lord cooperate?"
"My lord and I are of the same mind. If you follow my suggestion, I hope there will be no double attack this round."
"Military advisor, why is this?"
"Shen Tu Guan obviously has a back-up plan. In addition, have you noticed that in this battle of back and forth, Chang Sheng rarely showed up. For example, this time, he only sent sheepherders." Dongfang Jing said in a calm voice. , "I have never been worried about Chang Sheng. A person like him has no intention of giving up. As long as he still has a breath left, he will try his best to help Beiyu unify the country."
The generals next to him all listened clearly.
"Right now, there is no factor for a pincer attack. Furthermore, I cannot create such factors. This time Shentu Guan's ancient formation is an eye-opener."
"Military advisor, my lord is coming soon..."
"Don't worry, my lord will understand everything when he sees that I haven't moved. However, although Shen Tu Guan cannot be surrounded, the others may not be able to win a big victory."
"Could it be Yu Chiding?"
"Exactly." Dongfang Jing looked calm. It must be a pity that Shen Tuguan cannot eat this big fish. But no matter what, we have to change the direction and encourage a great victory in the spring.
"Send my secret letter to General Chao Yi." Dongfang Jing stretched out his hand and handed a secret letter he had written long ago into the hands of a confidant.
…
"General Shentu, we are withdrawing our troops now. But there is no movement from the Shu people."
General Pi's words made Shen Tuguan, who was standing on the high ground, feel a little silent for a moment. Two praying mantises and two cicadas. According to his wishes, Beiyu wanted to be the mantis who closed his sword to catch a big cicada. But now, the lame man seems to have... given up on the attack.
King Xu Shu has obviously returned to his army. At first glance, it looks like a great opportunity, but the lame man sits firmly in the formation and is not fooled in the slightest.
Without replying, Shen Tuguan turned his head silently and continued to look down. In fact, he held a letter in his hand. This secret letter was sent from the Beiyu main formation. In the letter, the little military advisor Chang Sheng expressed a round of excellent ideas.
but now……
Shen Tu Guan was also a little unwilling. After fighting for a long time, Beiyu seemed to be always on the losing side without any improvement. Even if he was in the open terrain like Lizhou and using the ancient formation that he was proud of, he still couldn't win a single victory from the lame man.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Shen Tu Guan let out a deep breath. King Xu Shu's men were about to arrive, but the lame man's motionless appearance was, in his opinion, the most terrifying thing.
…
At this time, on the way back to the division, Xu Mu, who was riding a horse, felt helpless for a while after hearing the intelligence from the front. At this time, Dongfang Jing did not send out troops to cooperate with the pincer attack, which means that there is a high possibility that there will be changes.
"Lord, it's time to arrive!"
"Understood." Xu Mu nodded. Dongfang Jing seemed to have guessed something and kept his troops stationary, as if to tell him that a flanking attack was not advisable and that he would fall into a new round of attrition crisis.
"You mean, Dongfang Military Advisor did not move, but Shuqi on Chao Yi's side started to move?"
"Exactly."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "If that's the case, I already understand."
Needless to say, he and Dongfang Jing had a tacit understanding. The significance of the Changkai Spring War is that both Western Shu and Beiyu must find ways to seize an opportunity.
To be more serious, Xi Shu has not suffered a loss so far. On the contrary, Beiyu had many more soldiers killed in battle and captured horses.
"Xiaoyao, choose a few heroes to pass a message for me to General Han Xing behind you. Then he said that I, Xu Mu, want him to be a little oriole."
"Lord, what does this mean..."
"Pass it on, he'll understand."
The situation has become very clear. It is estimated that within a short period of time, whether it is Xishu or Beiyu, Dongfang Jing, Shen Tuguan, or even the sheepherders, they will all be looking for opportunities to defeat the enemy. In addition, Chang Sheng has not appeared for a long time.
The open terrain of Lizhou cannot hide soldiers, and it is also suitable for mounted combat. And now, after Shen Tuguan learned the news, he had already developed thoughts of counterattack.
Various factors make the war more complicated and confusing.
Dongfang Jing stood still, probably telling him that in this situation, staying the same to cope with all changes was the safest way. Unlike Beiyu, Xishu can lose, but it must not be defeated miserably. With a weak foundation, a disastrous defeat would most likely overturn Xi Shu's old foundation.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu suddenly squatted down, picked up a dead branch, drew a straight line, and placed four stones on the straight line.
Black and white, same color apart.
In silence, Xu Mu then picked up another big stone and placed it at the end of the straight line. And in his hand, there was a pebble, hesitating and not knowing where it fell.
Big rocks are always victorious. And the pebble in this hand is called Han Xing.
