There is a grain and grass camp, and the location of the grain and grass camp should have been known to Marquis Wen.
How he exposed the grain and grass camp to Lu Bu, Xu Shu could not guess, but according to the conversation brought back by Zhang Yang, the location of Yuan Jun's grain and grass camp was indeed learned by Lu Bu.
In addition, there is a very crucial sentence. Yuan Tan said that at the end of the camp, there are at least Xiandengying and Euphorbia soldiers.
At least these two words mean that all the elites in the military camp should be dispatched.
Where to send? Obviously, it was the food and grass camp mentioned by Yuan Tan.
After Xu Shu digested all this, he immediately walked to the table. Without a map, he temporarily used cups and wine bottles as the camps of both sides and the so-called food and grass camp.
Zhang Yang on the side looked at him with his arms folded, not knowing what he was busy with. He asked a few questions if he needed help, but Xu Shu ignored him and simply stopped talking.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Zhang Yang was dozing off, Xu Shu finally became excited, "It must be like this, yes, yes, yes, it must be like this, this is the only possibility! There really are experts in Yuan Camp. , if Yunwen hadn’t made arrangements in advance this time, I would have really suffered a big loss!”
"What happened to the kidney?" Zhang Yang was startled when he woke up from a daze.
"We have to find a way to inform Yunwen. The Chinese army's stronghold is exactly the weakest point of Yuan's army!" Xu Shu excitedly geared up and paced back and forth in the tent.
It’s not his fault. As a student from a poor family, he had a somewhat low reputation in the Jingxiang area by interacting with Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, Pang Shiyuan, Zhuge Kongming and others. However, the chance of joining a wealthy family and making meritorious services was hopeless. .
This is a good time. Either he doesn't make any meritorious service, but once he does it, it will be a huge achievement. Even Xu Shu, who has always valued self-cultivation, can't suppress his inner excitement.
"How did you notify Yunwen?" Zhang Yang scratched his head in confusion. The letter could not be delivered. Is it possible that he could still run out of this huge Yuan camp.
"I can't notify him, but Yuan Tan will inform Yunwen for us." Xu Shu began to enjoy the joy of the Riddler's high altitude.
Zhang Yang snorted, The Riddler, get out of Gotham! "How to do it?"
"Please ask the general to take me to Yuan Tan tonight. The general will know the secret immediately."
Well, it seemed that Xu Shu was not going to say anything anymore. Although he felt unhappy, Zhang Yang could only nod helplessly.
At Lu Ying's end, Lu Bu was so excited after receiving Zhang Yang's letter that he almost smashed the table desk.
"Great! Uncle Zhi is indeed my brother. He was asked to serve as an internal response, and he also persuaded the three captains of Yuan Jun to surrender. Tomorrow night, the three of them will be on duty. I will personally lead the elite killers in and put them down. If Yuan Tan is killed, the Northern Army will be defeated instantly!"
The original plan was just to let him get some valuable information back, but God knows there has been no news. Once it came, it would be information that could overturn the situation of the war. Lu Bu, who was worrying about how to break through the Northern Army, grinned like a lotus flower.
"Yunwen, you still have foresight. No wonder there are rumors that you can predict the future, hahaha." The old father-in-law felt that he had seen the hope of victory.
In fact, not only Lu Bu, but also Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, and even Cao Xing, Song Xian and Cheng Lian, who became grooms but were tolerated by Lu Bu enough to allow them to participate in the military discussion, were all gearing up, writhing and sore. neck, ready to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight.
The three counselors looked at each other in shock and said nothing. The word disbelief was written on everyone's face.
"You guys, what's going on?" Lu Bu finally noticed the abnormality and looked at the counselor sequence.
Chen Gong shook his head and said angrily: "Marquis Wen, I'm afraid this is a trap set by Yuan Tan."
"Mr. Gongtai, you are worrying too much. This is Uncle Zhi's handwriting. I know his handwriting." Song Xian seemed very excited, but after meeting Lin Mo's cold eyes, he immediately calmed down.
In the past, Lu Bu was the only one in the entire military camp whose eyes they dared not look into.
Now, there is one more.
"Marquis Wen, this letter may indeed have been written by Prefect Zhang, but he was probably forced to write it by Yuan Tan." Chen Gong unceremoniously exposed this fig leaf.
"Why did Gongtai say this?" Lu Bu looked sideways at him.
"Isn't this obvious? It has been several months since Prefect Zhang entered Yuan Camp. During this period, there was not a single letter. Why did he write a letter at this time? Didn't Yuan Tan intentionally ask him to write it?" Chen Gong responded to this Somewhat disdainful, saying that if you use your brain a little bit, you should be able to see the problem.
In fact, Chen Gong is also quite arrogant. In the past, when Lin Mo didn't join, as Lu Bu's think tank and only counselor, he once had the power of war and peace, so he was inevitably a bit more arrogant.
This is precisely what Lu Bu dislikes the most, but with the addition of Lin Mo, and later Liu Ye and Jia Xu, Chen Gong is no longer so dazzling and has become more or less restrained.
Now that this happened again, Lu Bu immediately muttered in displeasure, "The current situation is different from before. This is an action that can overturn the situation of the war, and even capture Yuan Tan. Of course, Uncle Zhi will try his best to send the letter.
What's more, he has already won over three captains. How difficult can it be to deliver a letter? "
Needless to say, Lu Bu's analysis from this level has indeed attracted the recognition of the generals. Even the calmest Zhao Yun thinks it makes sense.
Chen Gong sighed and asked feebly: "Marquis Wen, the Battle of Qishan is so dangerous, why didn't Governor Zhang send someone to send a letter to remind him? This shows that he is always under surveillance and has no way to write a letter.
Can Taishou Zhang still instigate all those who monitor him to rebel? "
After asking this, Lu Bu subconsciously wanted to be tough, but in the end he just opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
It seems that there is no way to refute it.
Well, ask the son-in-law.
Lu Bu's eyes passed over Chen Gong and Jia Xu, and landed directly on Lin Mo. When the latter nodded firmly, he was finally willing to believe that this was Yuan Tan's plan to lure the enemy.
Others said it was okay to doubt, but the son-in-law said it, and he didn't dare to doubt it.
For such a long time, he has never doubted Lin Mo's judgment. The only time he risked the lives of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng was that he didn't dare to doubt it anymore.
"This Yuan Tan is really hateful. He first used the food camp to lure me to rob the camp. When his plan failed, he asked Uncle Zhi to write a letter to trick me into going to Dazhai. Sooner or later, I will cut this kid into pieces!" It was broken into dregs.
The old father-in-law's words reminded Lin Mo. A strange flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "This letter should be a trick to lure the enemy. In this way, the elite of Yuan Army should be concentrated on the Central Army in the evening. Dazhaili."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Gong and Jia Xu looked at each other, and immediately understood what he meant and said almost in unison: "Grain and grass camp."
And with this reminder, even Lu Bu realized what was going on. His dim eyes were covered with a layer of light again, and he said in surprise: "Yes, we couldn't tell whether there was an ambush in the grain and grass camp before, so we didn't dare to act rashly. , now if it is confirmed that Uncle Zhi’s letter is a trick to lure the enemy, then the food and grass camp will be empty. We can take advantage of the situation to burn the food and grass baggage of the Northern Army, and his 180,000-strong army will surrender without a fight! "
The more Lu Bu talked, the more excited he became, and he stood up.
Zhang Xiu also laughed and said, "Yuan Tan is going to be self-defeating! This time I am going to fight in person, and Marquis Wen must not stop me."
"Don't stop, don't stop." Lu Bu laughed.
Then, Gan Ning, Cao Xing and the others followed suit and asked for a fight.
Maybe it was because their personalities didn't like to rush into this, or maybe they felt that military merit should be balanced, so neither Gao Shun nor Zhao Yun spoke.
They seemed a bit like gourd boys making trouble to save their grandfather. Lin Mo chose to ignore them and turned around to look at the two people behind him.
"What do you think?"
"I think it's feasible."
After Chen Gong finished speaking, Jia Xu said with a smile, "It's not easy to say..."
There are only a total of 60,000 people in the Lu camp, and the real elite can't even reach 10,000, so it's impossible to bet on both ends. The single-line option can only attack the weakest part of the Northern Army.
Maybe it was because he was being too clever. In Lin Mo's eyes, any operation by the opponent would always have the risk of hiding a weapon.
This is prudent, but being too cautious is not a good thing, as it will lead to the enemy.
Of course, Lin Mo's hesitation was not completely unreasonable, because the scene in front of him had a bit of the smell of burning the upper valley.
He had gone to see the place where Yuan Jun's grain was stored, but he couldn't set fire to seal the retreat because the passage was too big and could be advanced or retreated.
But if you hide your troops, you can hide tens of thousands of people without leaving any trace.
But the situation in front of us is quite unfavorable to our side. On the surface, it has a morale advantage, but how to defeat 180,000 people with 60,000 people is a difficulty that cannot be solved by imagination alone.
As the old father-in-law said, as long as the Northern Army's food and grass camp is destroyed, they will be defeated.
Once they lose first and the battle situation on the Western Front is determined, our side will have plenty of time to make various choices that are beneficial to us.
I have to say, the appeal is really great.
Jia Xu did not express his position, but Chen Gong obviously supported it. Lin Mo felt that this gamble was indeed worth betting on.
"What about Yunwen, if you guys have no other opinions, then it's time to use troops." Although the three of them didn't speak, Lu Bu still wanted to make final confirmation.
After the three of them exchanged glances, Lin Mo stood up and nodded: "Master Yue Zhang, I have no objections to the plan to surprise Yuan Jun's grain and grass camp for the time being."
"What do you mean temporarily?" Lu Bu asked with a frown. He was his son-in-law. If someone had used such words, he would have fired.
"Still waiting for a letter from one person."
"who?"
"Xu Shu. Once his letter arrives, you can use your troops with peace of mind."
That's what he said, but Lin Mo was not sure whether Xu Shu would send him a letter.
The reason is simple. If Zhang Yang's letter was indeed arranged by Yuan Tan, it proves that they have been monitored. In this state, they probably don't know what is happening outside.
No matter how smart Xu Shu is, he can't make a judgment without any information, so he can't send a message to himself.
However, Lin Mo made up his mind.
If Xu Shu's letter is not received, whether it is because he agrees or because he is unable to give his opinion, the plan to surprise the grain and grass camp will be launched.
He didn't want to become an indecisive person like Yuan Shao.
"When can we arrive?" Lu Bu asked the last question.
"I won't receive his letter tonight, so the plan will go ahead as scheduled."
Lu Bu nodded, "We will use troops tomorrow night. We can't wait until dawn. Let's assign tasks to various departments first. If there are changes to the plan, we will discuss it later."
Lin Mo had no objection to this. After all, the army was not something that could be mobilized immediately just by asking for it.
Even in a military camp, if tens of thousands of people are mobilized to attack, it will not be implemented without preparation for most of the day.
The old father-in-law gave the direct orders in terms of the deployment of troops and generals.
This time it is about the success or failure of the army. One battle will determine the outcome, so the old father-in-law is ready to go on the field in person, accompanied by Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning. Considering that there are about 8,000 people guarding the grain and grass camp, in order to succeed in the shortest time, Prepare to dispatch 20,000 troops at one go, and all the elite will accompany them, leaving no one behind.
Gao Shun stayed in the camp with the remaining 40,000 people.
Lin Mo had no objection to this arrangement. In his prediction, once the grain and grass camp was obtained, Yuan Tan would most likely repeat Yuan Shao's actions, abandon the grain and grass camp and concentrate his troops to storm the camp. That would be more than a dozen people. Ten thousand people, and countless elites, the defensive pressure of 40,000 people will be very great.
But after all, it was time to wait for work, and after the old father-in-law completed the feat of burning food, he would also return to help. Even if this battle was evenly matched, the Northern Army would have to flee due to lack of food in the end.
The only request Lin Mo made was that when attacking the grain and grass camp, a supporting force must be left in case something happened to prevent the entire army from being annihilated.
Cao Xing and the others almost wanted to ask for a fight, but in the end they didn't dare to speak. How could the groom be qualified to ask for a fight?
In Yuan Jun's camp, Wen Chou's 50,000 troops will leave the camp tonight, and Han Ju and Zhao Rui's 50,000 troops will leave the camp tomorrow night. Together, 100,000 people will leave the camp.
This kind of movement cannot be hidden from others. Zhang Yang and Xu Shu could see the busy figures of the people in each camp just by walking around the camp.
Seeing this movement, Xu Shu became more convinced of his suspicion.
"What are you doing here, Prefect Zhang? You have no military duties tomorrow night, just stay in the military tent and don't move around." Yuan Tan, who was patrolling the military camp, was surprised when he saw Zhang Yang.
"The general will remember the young master's words. He came here because his old friend has something he wants to donate to the young master." Zhang Yang bowed very humbly.
"What?" Yuan Tan, who was about to leave, stopped and his eyes fell on Xu Shu.
"Please come to the camp and find out what's going on. This item will definitely help your reputation on the battlefield to be even greater in the future."
"oh?"
Xu Shu's words really whetted Yuan Tan's appetite. He waved his hand and said, "Lead the way. I want to see what kind of object it is."
I heard that Liu Ye under Lu Bu invented the thunderbolt chariot, and Lin Mo invented the curved shaft plow and the keel waterwheel. Is it possible that I was also lucky enough to get a sharp weapon?
