Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 516 Lure the enemy out of the city
On the sand table, the fronts of soldiers staggered.

Mujing and Zhang Liao played chess for more than an hour.

"You are really cheating people to death!"

Mu Jing stared at the sand table map dumbfounded. There were only a few small red flags representing his own strength left, and the blue battle flags had already surrounded him in groups, and it was really difficult to fly even with wings.

"I lost!"

He pushed aside the last few flags and said helplessly.

After this game, he understood that there was really a big gap between him and Zhang Liao on the battlefield, not to mention other things, just the same, his commanding skills were far behind him.

A commander is related to the strength of all soldiers and horses.

Mu Jing personally went to command a team of soldiers and horses to fight, give orders, predict the battlefield, react before the battle... etc. He is not as good as Zhang Liao in every aspect. If he can play at most 80.00% of his soldiers The strength of ten, Zhang Liao personally commanded, and can display [-]% of the strength of ninety.

This is the gap between the commanders.

"A certain victory is not martial!"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "A certain family is familiar with all the arrangements in the current army, the Jingping Second Army, the Yellow Turban Army, all their strength, logistics, and even the habits of each general, which one can fight tough battles, which one is good at running, I understand everything in my heart, but although my lord is standing on Zhang Lu's side, I don't know Zhang Lu's detailed deployment, I don't know Zhang Lu's military strength, I don't understand Zhang Lu's thoughts, so I can't win by fighting!"

"Victory is victory!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Although I don't know Zhang Lu's deployment, Zhang Lu is still capable of guessing or guessing. In addition to the news reported by the scouts, I also know a lot about his strength. This game, if it is a battle on the battlefield , you already have an eight-point chance of winning!"

He continued: "Of course, don't be proud. After all, a certain family is not Zhang Lu. The weather is spectacular and people's hearts are unpredictable. For example, in the deduction of this battle, I can deal with it calmly and step by step. , Zhang Lu may not be able to calm down. If a person is not calm, he will inevitably jump over the wall. At that time, he will not speculate on his deployment. He will even force his attack at any cost, not based on his own safety. When it comes to Zhang Lu's next move, you need to be careful when playing chess on the battlefield, and be careful!"

"The final general will never forget the lord's instructions!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's eyes trembled, and he bowed quickly, thanking Mujing for his reminder.

Mu Jing is right, under normal circumstances, he can predict the enemy like a god, but once Zhang Lu loses control, what Zhang Lu will do at that time is really uncertain, if he is allowed to take advantage of the loophole, he is really not sure can win this battle.

"You take the sand table, and you can mobilize the soldiers and horses you can mobilize, but I remind you that there is not much food and grass, and you don't have much time. Once you are in a crisis of food and grass, and the army's morale is in turmoil, even if the time comes, your strategy will be destroyed. Outstanding, it may not be effective, but it gives the city a chance to encircle and suppress us!"

It was a gamble for Mu Jing to hand over the battlefield to Zhang Liao. To be honest, he was not very relieved, so he supervised everything.

As a man, his desire to control is still very heavy.

But he understands that on the battlefield, he must learn to delegate power. After all, he is not the material that can be invincible on the battlefield. .

"My lord, don't worry, I will never give them a chance!"

Zhang Liao said confidently.

That night, Zhang Liao arranged for his own soldiers to move the built sand table into his tent.

For the next two days, Zhang Liao remained on hold.

Mujing has already urged him once, and he will not put pressure on Zhang Liao for the second time. He will wait and see Zhang Liao's performance.

Another night.

"Go away!"

"Fire out!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The camp of the herding army suddenly caught fire in the silence, burning half of the sky. The intensity of the fire caught everyone's attention, and the sound of firefighting from countless people in a panic was transmitted several miles away, making people have to watch here.

"The military camp outside the city is on fire?"

On the city wall, General Yang Ang of the Hanzhong Army stared outside the city, looked at the flames in the half of the sky, and squinted slightly: "Come on!"

"exist!"

Several generals bowed their heads and stood by.

"Send scouts to see what's going on outside the city?"

"promise!"

The scout captain personally went out of the city to inquire.

This matter quickly alarmed Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu has been eating badly lately, waiting for news day and night, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. I just fell asleep, and I didn't sleep for a long time when I heard someone report.

After he put on his robe, he went up to the city wall himself.

"Master Master!" Yang Ang saw Zhang Lu coming up and quickly saluted.

"What's going on outside the city, can you go and find out?"

Zhang Lu waved his hand and asked.

"The scouts have already gone to inquire, but there is no news yet. It seems that the military camp outside the city is flooded, but I dare not act rashly. After all, it cannot be said that this is their conspiracy!"

Yang Ang cupped his hands and said: "The general thinks that at this moment, we should be more prudent and not rush forward easily. The situation is bad and good!"

"You did the right thing!"

Zhang Lu nodded in approval. At this time, he burned the Mujun granary and cut off the Mujun food road. It was Mujun who was in a hurry, not him, so there was nothing wrong with guarding the city carefully, but his eyes looked outside the city, but he was about to move .

"Report to Master Shijun, report to the general, the situation has been clarified!"

After more than two hours, at about dawn, the scout captain returned and reported the situation: "The place where the Mu army piled up grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and the fire seemed to have burned the grain and grass of the Mu army!"

"Is this news certain?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lu's eyes burst into burning heat: "Who did that?"

"We paid more than ten sons' lives to venture close, and we can clearly see that there is still a lot of burning food!"

The scout captain replied: "As for who did it, we don't know yet, but we can see that there are corpses on the ground, all of them are in black clothes. I am afraid that someone broke into the Mujun barracks at night and burned the Mujun's food and grass!"

"You continue to investigate!" Yang Ang thought for a while, and said to the scout captain: "Be sure to confirm the authenticity of this news with multiple sources, and then go to investigate, who may break into the barracks and burn its food!"

"promise!"

The scout captain took the lead.

"Yan Pu, do you think this news is true or not, and who did it?" Zhang Lu calmed down, looked at Yan Pu who was also on the city wall, and asked in a low voice.

"No way!"

Yan Pu shook his head: "But no matter what, we must be calm and not rashly enter!"

"I agree with Yan Changshi's words!"

Yang Ang nodded and said.

"Then wait a little longer!" Zhang Lu was not in a hurry.

…………

……

The next day, the barracks outside the city.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao stood at the eastern corner of the charred camp.

Mu Jing smiled and said: "You have invested some money!"

"All that can be seen is food, and it doesn't cost much. The interior is completely burnt, but it's just some vegetation!" Zhang Liao said.

"Are you so sure you can convince the city?"

"As long as he knows who burned it, he will believe it!" Zhang Liao said.

"Who burned it?" Mu Jing asked.

"Zhang Huo!"

"Him?" How clever Mu Jing is, he immediately thinks of Zhang Ning's going out early and returning late these days: "You can't be using the Five Dou Rice Sect!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded calmly: "If it wasn't for His Highness the Holy Maiden's reminder, I would not have thought of such a target. The most important thing is Zhang Xiu's son. With the cooperation of Zhang Yu, he really summoned several masters of the Five Dou Rice Sect. I see Over them, the martial arts are good, if I force my way, I may not be able to stop a few, and if they burn our food, some people will believe it!"

"Five Dou Rice Cult!" Mu Jing squinted his eyes slightly: "If you don't enter Hanzhong, you don't know its foundation. Now you can go to Yongxi City, Fang Wu Dou Rice Cult has penetrated so much, it's even worse than Taiping Dao!"

If five out of ten people are followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect, then the force involved will be terrifying and immeasurable.

"My lord, the Five Dou Rice Cult can only be used, not killed!" Zhang Liao thought for a while, and suddenly said something, logically he shouldn't have said this sentence, but he had seen the power of the Wu Dou Rice Cult, so he still wanted to remind him pastoral scene.

"Don't worry, I know!"

Mu Jing nodded, not to continue discussing this topic, and returned to the topic: "Is it going to be withdrawn next!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded, with some helplessness in his expression: "If you want the fish to take the bait, you still have to put the bait!"

At noon that day, the Mu army began to withdraw its troops secretly. Of course, it was only the withdrawal of the central army. The Yellow Turban troops on both sides were only moving towards the periphery, not retreating together.

The so-called stealthy withdrawal means that people withdraw, luggage, camps, etc. will not make a big move, and will not attract the attention of the city. Without knowing it, they will retreat silently and directly withdraw to Nanshui County.
