When the rebel army left Zhuozhou, they had already made a strategy. They wanted to conquer and conquer at the same time, and swept them into a large force. They took advantage of the Yellow Turban chaos to gather manpower. At the same time, the head of the Yellow Turban Zhangjiao was the top priority.

During this time of turmoil in the world, powerful and powerful people from all over the country have bravely raised their troops to attack the Yellow Turbans. After the Yellow Turbans are calmed down, there will be many military exploits.

There is no doubt that no matter how great your military exploits are, they cannot compare to the ability to capture Zhang Jiao.

Although the imperial court is ignorant, it is not fair to reward meritorious deeds and punish demerits. On the day when merit is rewarded, all kinds of meritorious deeds will surely be worth less than a thousand taels of gold.

But if it was Zhang Jiao who was the first to capture and kill him, no matter how stupid the imperial court was, the person who had the first to do it would not have done anything too ugly.

Zhang Jiao alone is worth the profit of capturing 50,000 Yellow Turban prisoners. It is impossible to ignore Zhang Jiao in front of him.

The rebels made a rough decision and the brigade continued to move forward to catch up.

But after only two days of pursuit, something went wrong. Because the rebels had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the marching team was bloated and they were marching together, so the marching speed was extremely slow.

However, the Yellow Turban infantry did not know where to go, and their cavalry could only be seen disappearing and appearing in front of them.

After chasing like this, I don't know when I will catch up with the Yellow Turban Brigade.

At this time, dividing the troops became the only consideration.

Guan Yu led 200 cavalry troops and 800 attacking men, and pursued them fiercely.

In the rear, the rebel brigade continued to march at normal marching speed.

For several more days, Guan Yu chased and fought the Yellow Turban Cavalry, but every time he caught up with the Yellow Turban Cavalry, the Yellow Turban Cavalry scattered along the road, spreading further and further apart.

After chasing one team, the other teams all fled.

So for six days.

Guan Yu left the army alone for six days, and the victory was achieved.

After chasing him to a boundary, he saw a river in front of him. Guan Yu asked his subordinates, "What boundary is ahead?"

"I will leave Guangzong soon."

Unexpectedly, he chased eastward and quickly chased him out of Guangzong's territory.

Guan Yu thought again, Zhang Jiao's tribe and Dong Zhuo's tribe, the main force of the official army, were fighting in the Julu area, and the rebel army went south and detoured, trying to steal the Yellow Turbans' retreat. But why did this corner suddenly appear in Guangzong, Zhang Jiao was here, and Dong Zhuo

Where are the officers and soldiers?

Could it be that the main force of the army was completely wiped out by Zhang Jiao?

The more I think about it, the weirder it gets.

The scouts detected the presence of the Yellow Turban Cavalry on the other side of the river. Do you want to cross the river?

Guan Yu frowned and thought for a long time, then raised the reins and said, "Let's go back!"

For some reason, the cavalry under his command gave up pursuit after half the chase, so they could only follow the order.

As soon as Guan Yu retreated, the Yellow Turban cavalry who had been running away for several days became bolder and dared to chase Guan Yu's tail.

It's a pity that Guan Yu brought the infantry. The cavalry was not afraid of being pursued by the Yellow Turban cavalry, but was afraid that the Yellow Turban cavalry would find a flaw in the infantry formation and collapse. As a last resort, Guan Yu could only frequently drive away the Yellow Turban cavalry and cover the troops to retreat calmly.

A few days later, Guan Yu's troops reunited with most of the rebel army.

Guan Yu returned to the army and explained the strange things to everyone in detail.

Chinese army tent.

Guan Yu, who was exhausted after running around for days, drank several bowls of water.

After drinking the water, "Our army may have fallen into the enemy's trick!" Guan Yu explained the abnormality. Guan Yu looked at Li Mengxi and asked, "Xi'er, do you still remember where the battle between Dong Zhuo and the Yellow Turbans was?"

Li Mengxi frowned and thought for a while, "Giant deer?"

"It's Julu," Guan Yu nodded, then Guan Yu pointed to the map on the table and drew a long path from Julu to Guangzong, "The suspicion is here. Our army encountered Zhang Bao's tribe, and the battle was delayed for seven or eight days.

able to escape.

Zhang Jiao fought fiercely with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had 20,000 officers and soldiers under his command, and his military strength was better than ours. But Zhang Jiao was fighting against such a powerful enemy, and he was able to escape faster than us, and came to the front of our army.

Isn’t this suspicious?”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi frowned, "General Guan said that the Yellow Turbans pursued by our army were not Zhang Jiao, but someone pretending to be?"

Thinking of this section, Li Mengxi touched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Zhang Jiao wants to draw our army away and prevent our army from going north. Why? I expect Zhang Jiao is in a stalemate with Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Jiao is worried about our army attacking from a flank."

, so a small number of troops were used as bait to lure them farther away.

In this way, the day our army is far away, Zhang Jiao will be attacked from both sides one day late, and he can quickly decide the outcome with Dong Zhuo."

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi admired him deeply. Since leaving Zhuozhou, what he has learned and understood is mostly tactics, not strategy.

This was the first time I encountered a strategic confrontation with the enemy.

There is no doubt that the first strategic confrontation with the enemy was a trap.

"Our army should have gone straight to Guangzong City, and then killed the giant deer in the northwest, attacking Zhangjiao's belly and back.

But now, Zhang Jiao's light troops have delayed our army for seven or eight days. Even if our army turns around now, it will still take several days, and the total delay will last more than ten days."

Li Mengxi looked at Guan Yu and asked for advice, "General Guan, Zhang Jiao used this tactic. What is the tactic in the art of war?"

To lure the enemy deep into the mountains? To lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Guan Yu also frowned and thought.

To lure the enemy deeper is to use light soldiers as bait to lead the enemy into a desperate position and into an encirclement, and then attack them.

As for luring the tiger away from the mountain, it is because the enemy is occupying strongholds, dangerous cities, and other geographically favorable places. If I attack by force, I cannot take it. At this time, I might as well design a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If the tiger leaves the mountain, its power will be lost, so I can

Take it lightly.

Li Mengxi asked about the art of war, and Guan Yu thought carefully that although the Yellow Turban light soldiers had lured them to a remote place, the Yellow Turbans had no backup, so they should not be luring the enemy deeper.

The rebel army is not holding a dangerous position, so it is not possible to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Guan Yu thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything in the Art of War that matched this situation.

"I don't know." Guan Yu shook his head, "It is inappropriate to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory or to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

That's all. Guan Yu suddenly looked at Li Mengxi and smiled, "Xi'er, what do you think is the best way to call Zhang Jiao's plan?"

This is for Li Mengxi to sum up the military tactics that no one has before.

Scenario. I am fighting with the enemy, and I know that another enemy is coming from behind me. At this time, I send a light force to lure the enemy's reinforcements, mislead them away from the battlefield, or delay their attack on our army twice.

.In this, we can only lure the enemy, but there is no way to surround and kill the enemy.

This strategy can only be said to be a tactic of luring the enemy, but it itself is just luring the enemy.

The rebel army was seduced by Zhang Jiao and was led astray.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This disadvantaged Li Mengxi is convinced.

As for what he learned from it, what Li Mengxi learned was Zhang Jiao's strategy of "drawing the enemy into remoteness" itself.

If one day, you are fighting a fierce battle with a strong enemy, and another enemy army comes at this time, you can lure the enemy to retreat.

At this time, it is not to lure the enemy to go deep, because without going deep, our army will have no spare capacity to arrange rear-end tactics to plot against the enemy. At this time, I have no spare strength, so I can only lure the enemy's reinforcements as far away as possible.

The enemy is one day farther away, and the time to encircle our army will be one day later, and the time our army will be encircled one day later will be one day longer, and we will have one more day of stability.

With a day's respite, there is no doubt that our army will be able to quickly deal with the first enemy, and then turn around to fight the enemy's reinforcements.

This strategy is used when there are more than one dozen. It can also be used when there are one against one.

Sometimes, the enemy and our armies are evenly matched, but we have a city and plenty of food and grass. If they come from afar, they will not have as much food and grass as our army.

At this time, if we can try to delay the enemy's arrival, if the enemy arrives one day late, his advantage will be reduced by one point.

Just like Zhang Jiao this time, Zhang Jiao's plan delayed the rebel army for a long time.

If the rebel army is short of food and grass, and Zhang Jiao is more cunning and uses the food truck to lure the rebel army away bit by bit, like luring mice, and then leads it to a deserted place with no food and grass supplies, then the rebel army will be finished.

The core of this strategy is not to calculate the enemy's army itself, but to calculate the enemy's time. Because of the logistical constraint, an army's combat time is limited. Wasting one day of the enemy's time will weaken its combat potential.

I understand clearly that this strategy is still a strategy to defeat the enemy and defeat the enemy's combat potential.

The rebels realized belatedly that they had been deceived by Zhang Jiao, and stopped heading eastward.

The scouts have not been able to discover where most of Zhang Jiao is, and there is no intelligence support. At this time, they can only guess that the Yellow Turbans are still in the Julu area.

Li Mengxi realized at this time that intelligence was really important during combat.

If there is a drone, the Yellow Turban decoy comes over and wants to lure me deeper. The drone takes a look at it from a high altitude and finds that the number of people is wrong. This will directly reveal Zhang Jiao's conspiracy and prevent me from being deceived by it.

If there is enough information and we know where Zhang Jiao's headquarters is, we won't fall into the trap either.

In ancient wars, it was like the fog of war was everywhere. Where the scouts could not reach, everything was dark. Even where the scouts could detect, there was still a time difference when the scouts gave back information.

Sometimes, the scouts run far away, two or three days away from the main army. Even if they discover the enemy and report back quickly, by the time the intelligence arrives, two days have passed. Due to the timeliness of the intelligence, the intelligence that is delayed for two days will still be useful.

Whether it is useful or not is another matter.

Assume that the enemy troops were in the east of the river two days ago, and when the intelligence was transmitted, it was already two days later. At this time, the commander must judge whether the enemy troops on the river bank want to cross the river, or want to defend on the river bank, and then make corresponding preparations.

Li Mengxi knew that it was his mistake to be plotted by the Yellow Turban this time. If he had not been so impulsive after seeing Zhang Jiao's flag and not directly assumed that Zhang Jiao was ahead, but had been more cautious, he would not have been deceived.

He also knew that the key to this trap was the rebels' lack of intelligence capabilities.
