Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 162 Returning to Xin'an
Under the leadership of Qu Shuai Li Le and Hu Cai, Bai Bobing slowly retreated to Shan County. Although they were defeated, their faces were filled with victorious smiles.

Their Baibo soldiers have always been criticized for their weak combat power, but they showed momentum in the battle just now, and turning their disadvantages into advantages is naturally inseparable from the strategist Meng Xin's strategy and his personal command.

So Qu Shuai of the two white wave thieves expressed the highest admiration for Meng Xin.

On the surface, Meng Xin readily accepted it, but in his heart he transferred this admiration to Liu Yu.

Because no matter whether it is to ambush the soldiers in the city, or to let the bandit soldiers pretend to escape and finally assemble and mobilize, these are all strategies written by Liu Yu in advance, and Meng Xin is just a porter again.

On the way to retreat, Meng Xin carefully estimated that Guo Si's army lost at least 5000 people in the two battles between Yiyang and Strider.

And if so many enemies can be wiped out in Shan County and Hu County, then Guo Bang's army will not have more than 2 soldiers and horses outside Hongnong City in the end.

In addition, although Baibobing needs to pay 8 to 2 people, there are nearly [-] bandits in Hongnong City, and there must be no problem defending the city with [-] people.

At the same time, in the city of Strider, Guo Bang was also thinking about his gains and losses after the war.

"Could it be that I underestimated the enemy? A small Strider City actually killed more than 1 men. Although this battle is won, what's the point!"

Guo Si paced back and forth with an ugly face, and Han Li beside him was also full of annoyance, wondering why he had been ambushed like this twice after attacking the city, as if the white wave thief had figured out when I would attack. .

Could it be that a spy really leaked his marching route in advance?
Thinking of this, Han Li quickly expressed his conjecture, "General Qi, I think the other party may know our marching plan in advance! There may be spies in the army..."

Guo Si stopped walking when he heard this with a serious expression, but soon he continued to walk back and forth, and at the same time reminded Han Li that he must never tell a third person his doubts.

……

When Guo Si's army attacked Strider, Liu Yu commanded 500 soldiers to dig out almost all the roots of the big trees in Yiyang City, and finally found the "immortal head" on the last tree root.

After getting the news, Guo Zhen, the left-behind general, rushed to congratulate him, but saw that there were pits everywhere in the city, which were not only ugly but also hindered walking.

Guo Zhen didn't dare to offend Liu Yu, so he had to arrange for Huangfusong to take people to fill it up.

But the 500 people were exhausted after a day of digging, and none of them were willing to fill the pit. Seeing this, Huangfusong proposed to find some ordinary people in the city to be responsible for filling the pit.

Guo Zhencai didn't care who Huangfusong asked for help, as long as he didn't ask him for help.

Filling the hole was much faster than digging the hole, and it took only one afternoon to finish it. After making business with Guo Zhen, Huang Fusong took 500 people to Strider to find Guo Si to return to his life.

And Liu Yu wandered around the city for a day, and went to the army to inquire about the battle situation of Guo Si's army in Strider Pond when he was bored. Then he stayed at the people's home for one night before returning to Xin'an County.

……

This morning Liu Yu was drawing blueprints in the tent when he heard the voices of Xun Yu, Ma Chao and Xu Huang from outside the tent.

So Liu Yu put down his pen and went out to welcome the three of them in.

"It's such a coincidence that the three of you came here together. Could it be that there is something urgent?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.

After the three of them looked at each other, Xun Yu explained the purpose of their visit.

It turned out that the three of them came here to ask for advice. Guo Si's army captured the Strider Pond, and the next step is likely to attack Shan County.And Shan County is very close to Xin'an County, Xu Huang and Ma Chao want to lead troops to fight.

Xu Huang and Ma Chao had a high fighting spirit to join the battle, but Liu Yu said that Guo Si might not necessarily fight Shan County first this time!

After hearing this, both of them were puzzled. Although the positions of Shan County and Hu County were almost parallel, didn't the information sent by Huangfuyan mention that Guo Bang would attack Shan County first and then Hu County?Has the situation changed.

Only Xun Yu showed a meaningful smile after listening.

"Why is Mr. Wen Ruo laughing? Could it be that he disagrees with what my master said?" Although Ma Chao couldn't figure out the situation, he didn't allow others to question Liu Yu.

But I heard Xun Yu explain: "No! I agree with King Zhongshan's point of view, and I also think that Guo Bang will probably not attack Shan County next time!"

Liu Yu signaled him to continue, and Xun Yu went on to say: "Although Guo Bang seemed to have won the two battles of Yiyang and Yanchi, he lost 5000 troops. This loss should have exceeded his expectations, so Guo Si will definitely suspect that there are traitors in the army who have leaked the military information, which is why the Baibo bandits can arrange an ambush in advance!"

Hearing this, Xu Huang suddenly said: "It means that Guo Si is prepared, and we may not be able to know the time and target of the next attack in time."

"No!" Liu Yu denied his statement, "I think Guo Si will deliberately disclose the next action plan, but he will make changes again after the army is dispatched!"

Xun Yu nodded in admiration when he heard the words. With Guo Bang's experience in leading troops, he would definitely come up with a trick after discovering that there were traitors in the army.

Maybe Guo Bang will pretend to attack Shan County, and then detour to Dahu County to be true.

At this time, Xu Huang also thought of this question, so he asked: "If Guo Si releases false news, how should we deal with it, and how should we let the Baibo thief prepare for it?"

Xun Yu fell into deep thought after hearing this, but Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "There is no need to deal with it, and I also told Huangfusong not to send people to send information for the time being, anyway, no matter which side loses, it will be beneficial to us!"

When Xun Yu heard that it should be so, he was moved and admired Liu Yu's wit again. Guo Si's army had lost too much before, and it was time for the Baibo soldiers to shed some blood this time.

It's just that Xu Huang and Ma Chao couldn't participate in the battle.

Seeing that Ma Chao was not in a good mood, Liu Yu pointed to the blueprint on the table with a smile and said, "You don't have to be disappointed. Although you may not be able to participate in the battle between Shan County and Hu County, you and Gong Ming are needed to attack Yiyang City." The two cooperated a lot!"

As soon as Ma Chao heard that there was still a battle to be fought, he happily went to the table to look at the drawings drawn by Liu Yu.

I saw that the internal structure of Yiyang City was clearly outlined on the above, and the name of almost every street was marked in detail.

And when Liu Yu said that he wanted to attack Yiyang City, even Xun Yu became interested.

Yiyang City is the grain storage base of Guo Bang's army. If you take this city, it will be like cutting off Guo Bang's retreat.

It's just that Guo Bang left [-] troops to garrison the important food storage area.

Moreover, the defense equipment of these 1 people is much stronger than that of the previous Baibo thieves. If you want to attack by force, there are no more than [-] people who can't get close to the city gate.

Even if the private soldiers of Wang, Xun, and Yang are included in Xin'an County, they can mobilize at most [-] horses. It is difficult to win with this number of people.

Unless Liu Yu hid the army elsewhere, or had other preparations.

Thinking that Xun Yu also approached here, he wanted to find out what kind of plan Liu Yu had drawn up on the blueprint.

But when he took a closer look, he was shocked by the white paper and strange pen on the table.
