Sima Hui: "Let me tell you, old man Zixu, don't you have anything to say?"
Jinping Mountain, Taoist Zixu. He is also the most mysterious immortal among the five of them.
It is said that this person practices the golden elixir path passed down before Laozi transformed Hu into a Buddha. This luck technique is just one of the skills of Immortal Zixu.
His strength is said to have already broken through the realm of mortal flesh. Hearing Sima Hui talk about himself, Immortal Zixu said softly: "I am different from you. Although the three sons of destiny have not really fought for each other this time."
"But I still think it's better to let nature take its course. The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage."
Nan Hua Lao Xian: "Forget it, you have always been the indifferent one anyway."
"It's useless to ask you!"
Immortal Zixu just smiled, but under the veil. His expression became very serious, and he was obviously displeased with the words of Old Immortal Nanhua.
At this moment, on the other side, Yuan Shu's three armies have also been dispatched. Obviously, this time Yuan Shu is bound to win the three states next to Nanyang.
Time flies, and two days pass. Now Ma Teng and Han Sui have arrived at a location less than thirty miles away from Gongyang, and they also ordered everyone to set up camp here.
Ma Teng: "Now, if we attack rashly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"You can tell by looking at the surrounding environment. There is no place to seize the treasure within a ten-mile radius of Gongyang."
"Presumably Li Jue is already well prepared. If we confront each other head-on, we won't get any benefits."
"In my opinion, our 200,000 troops should be divided into four directions to surround Gongyang. But if we do not attack, it will take ten days and three to five months."
"It's best to get rid of Li Jue without any bloodshed, because only in this way can we have enough capital to compete with other princes."
It has to be said that Ma Teng is indeed a veteran who has been stationed at the border all year round. Suddenly he thought of a way to solve the problem in this way, and his soldiers would not suffer too much loss.
Han Sui: "It doesn't matter, you are better at arranging troops than I am."
"Anyway, we have enough food and grass to last the army for a year and a half."
"Since you have already thought of doing it this way, let's do it this way!"
Han Sui has always respected Ma Teng very much, because Ma Teng's ability in arranging troops is indeed first-class. At the border, they often defeated more with less, and the foreigners were willing to pay the price of 50,000 cattle and sheep to kill Ma Teng.
But yes, they haven't been able to do it for more than ten years. In the end, they were so frightened by Ma Teng's battle that they did not dare to go south and herd horses for nearly ten years. This kind of strength also made Han Sui admire him from the bottom of his heart.
After they decided, they immediately took action. Moreover, the remaining three armies are still thirty miles away from Gongyang, but they have not taken a step forward.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that Gongyang was surrounded by troops sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui, they immediately went to report to Li Jue and said: "General, Ma Teng and Han Sui have divided their troops into four groups to trap Gongyang."
"But they just surrounded but didn't attack. The traps we set didn't have any effect!"
Li Jue looked at what was happening in front of him and said, "I saw it, just wait and see!"
"In addition, prepare ten squads of 100 people. Tonight, we will divide into four groups to attack at night. The last two groups will search for the location of the opponent's food and grass."
"If possible, burn the opponent's food and grass so that we can win without a fight."
It can be said that Li Jue's decision was not wrong at all. On the contrary, it is a very smart approach, because food and grass have been the lifeblood of the army since ancient times.
Once there is a problem with food and grass, the morale of the military will be shaken. At that time, even a million-strong army will flee because of this problem.
Lieutenant General: "Don't worry, General, it's only noon now."
"The general will start selecting dead soldiers now and let them start a night attack tonight."
"Guaranteed to burn the opponent's food and fodder and catch the opponent by surprise."
The strategy they had envisioned was quite good. After all, a normal commander would not have guessed that the enemy would be so crazy.
But unfortunately, they met Ma Teng and Han Sui, so this method was destined to be impossible to succeed.
Moreover, Ma Teng placed all their military supplies and food in a dangerous place fifty miles away from Gongyang. Without an army of tens of thousands, it would be impossible to attack that position.
Not to mention wanting to burn their food and grass, and Ma Teng and Han Sui had many dealings with foreigners. Naturally, he also knows a little bit about the fighting styles of foreign races, and Ma Teng never puts eggs in a box.
After hearing what his lieutenant said, Li Jue immediately said, "In that case, you will personally lead the troops to attack the opponent's camp tonight."
"Come back immediately after setting the fire. Don't worry about where the other party's granary is."
"Just set fire to it. If one of the opponent's four camps is strengthened, there will be food and grass there."
"Since they want to trap us, we will cut off each other's back-up."
After being reminded by his lieutenant, Li Jue also revealed this plan that he thought was more secure.
Blackmail the opponent first, and then kill him with one strike!
Lieutenant General: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
Li Jue could also see that Ma Teng and Han Sui would not start attacking the city for the time being. He also went back to rest first. He was more concerned about whether the things at night could be successful.
While both armies were having lunch, Han Sui said to Ma Teng, "I think they will definitely attack our camp tonight."
"How about we make arrangements in advance to catch the turtle in a jar."
"Anyway, we'll set up an ambush first. If the mice take the bait, we can take advantage of this opportunity to catch a few tongues."
It has to be said that it is not unrelated to Han Sui being able to call Ma Teng brothers. Both of them are so stable and experienced. It's no wonder that they can guard the border for more than ten years.
Ma Teng: "Ma Tie, come here!"
Ma Tie: "What did my father call me for?"
Ma Teng smiled and said, "Did you hear what your Uncle Han said just now?"
"Do you understand again?"
Ma Tie: "Father, the child heard it. And he also understood it. Tonight we will give the enemy an urn to catch turtles in."
Ma Teng looked at his son Ma Tie and said with a smile: "Finally, he looks a bit like your third brother. That's what the two of us mean."
"So, can you do it by keeping vigil tonight?"
