When Guan Yu returned to camp, he said that the chariot formation had successfully encircled him.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi looked at each other with tired eyes and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Hurrying slowly, we finally made it before dawn and closed the encirclement.

Liu Bei saw Li Mengxi yawning one after another, so he asked Li Mengxi to go and rest.

Li Mengxi shook his head and refused.

Everyone knew that there would be a major incident at dawn, so in order to avoid being unable to react in time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Li Mengxi went to the car formation together.

The night was still dark, and everything was quiet, as dead as a ghost land. Li Mengxi looked around, but he couldn't tell that there were more than 80,000 manpower hidden around him.

Because he knew that there must be huge crowds of people hidden in the darkness, Li Mengxi immediately felt that there were many vague ghosts in the dark darkness, and there were people everywhere. It was really scary.

Looking further, Li Mengxi could see the light of fire in the army camp and hear the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

It was Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was still tirelessly leading more than a hundred cavalrymen, constantly circling around the official and army camps.

A major event was completed, the burden was put down, and fatigue swept over him in waves. Li Mengxi yawned one after another, but it was going to be dawn soon, and he was determined not to sleep.

He rubbed his cheeks hard to drive away the sleepiness.

In Li Mengxi's mind, he simulated a confrontation between the two sides tomorrow morning.

As long as it was daylight and things could be seen clearly, and the officers and soldiers saw that the camp was surrounded by groups, the morale of the army must be turbulent. Even though Huangfu Song had the courage to fight, Huangfu Song couldn't even get out of the formation, so he had no desire to fight.

Therefore, the strategy of seeking peace through war is also successful.

Li Mengxi expected that Mr. Huangfu would not dare to start a war.

The officers and soldiers were surrounded and were at the end of their rope.

For example, Zhao Kuo was surrounded by Bai Qi. How dare he, Zhao Kuo, fight with Bai Qi?

No... Li Mengxi frowned. It seemed that Zhao Kuo, who was forced into a desperate situation, really fought with Bai Qi.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi frowned slightly.

Something is wrong. Although the army can force them to make peace through war, now the officers and soldiers are surrounded on all sides and have been forced into a desperate situation. Under the desperate situation, Huangfu will fight to the death instead of having no choice but to fight for it. Because he doesn't

Breaking through, there is no way to survive.

Bullying a cowardly person does not mean that the cowardly person is bullied to the point of despair. The cowardly person does not dare to retaliate once, but if the cowardly person is forced into a desperate situation, then it is inevitable that the cowardly person will dare to fight with his life.

That's it.

Now the problem lies here. If we are not careful, we will push the officers and soldiers to a dead end.

Li Mengxi felt that by daybreak, there was a 80% chance that the officers and soldiers would fight for their lives.

If the purpose of the Zhuozhou Army was to promote peace through war, there is no doubt that they made a mistake accidentally.

Li Mengxi was anxious for Guan Yu and Liu Bei to discuss countermeasures.

"Now that the matter has been done, it would be unwise to withdraw the vehicle formation and ruin the gains made overnight.

For the present plan, the only way is to strike first and wait until daybreak. Don't wait for the officers and soldiers to be full of the camp and shake it, and don't wait for them to go out to fight. First send envoys to the officers and soldiers camp to comfort them with words, so as to weaken their desire to fight for their lives and dare to die."

"...I suddenly remembered that our army seems to have insufficient food and grass." Li Mengxi frowned and looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pondered, "Not counting the cattle, mules and livestock, the food and grass can last more than ten days."

Li Mengxi frowned even more tightly, "This is a catastrophic disaster. Our army is short of food and grass, and we must not maintain a stalemate with the army for a long time. Otherwise, when the food and grass are exhausted, we will be unable to recover."

However, Huangfu Song deeply hates our Zhuozhou army and will not give up until we destroy our army.

Mr. Xuande, you don't want to fight with the officers and soldiers. You are too frightened by the officers and soldiers to attack.

But Huangfu Song is standing in front of us. Today he is forcing us to attack him. He will force us to fight him tomorrow. He will confront me today and confront me tomorrow. If he acts no matter what he does, our army will be delayed here until we run out of food and grass and cannot move forward."

Li Mengxi dared to be troublesome.

It is really too difficult. The rebel army is much stronger than the official army, but the official army is also tens of thousands. Although defeating the official army has a good chance of winning, it is not that easy. [Defeat the official army], this is the first difficulty;

Fighting against the government troops, regardless of success or failure, will be very detrimental to the rebel army. Therefore, if fighting against the government troops, they will try to annihilate them. However, even if tens of thousands of pigs want to escape, it is inevitable that many pigs will escape and tens of thousands of government troops will escape. [Strive to annihilate them.

Annihilation] is even more difficult;

What is more difficult than annihilating all the officers and soldiers is to use deterrence, seek peace through war, and force the officers and soldiers to retreat without fighting. This is incredibly difficult; however, it is extremely difficult to achieve the ridiculously hellish difficulty.

Not only were the officers and soldiers with strong fighting spirit forced to retreat, but they were also forced to retreat in just a few days.

Now, Li Mengxi encountered such a hellish problem.

Within a few days, the two sides, who were at war with each other and could accidentally clash with each other at any time, should stop fighting and frighten Mr. Huangfu away.

The two conditions of not fighting and being frightened away by Huangfu Song, who had strong troops and strong horses and courage, are in themselves mutually exclusive.

However, Li Mengxi thought of a possibility.

With his thoughts racing, Li Mengxi came up with a countermeasure based on the chips he had now and the situation between ourselves and the enemy.

Now, the Zhuozhou Army's most advantageous bargaining chip is the car formation that is already surrounded on all sides.

The key lies here.

Unexpectedly, the Zhuozhou Army created conditions for a decisive victory.

Without fighting the official army, and forcing Huangfu Song, who wanted to kill the Zhuozhou army, within a few days, this was an almost impossible task in ordinary times.

However, when the Zhuozhou Army surrounded Huangfu Song and forced the officers and soldiers into a desperate situation, the Zhuozhou Army had an opportunity to force Huangfu Song back within a few days.

“You can use the method of advancing to retreat.

What does our army want? Our army is short of rations. All we want is to force Huangfu Song to leave within a few days and force Huangfu Song to flee far away.

Therefore, we can adopt the attitude of vowing not to give up until Huangfu Song is destroyed, forcing Huangfu Song into a desperate situation, making him frightened day and night, and making him want to break out of the encirclement all the time.

Our army surrounded him for two days, and then let go of the encirclement. Huangfu Song immediately took the opportunity to escape."

"Huangfu Song escaped, and our army was able to escape from the official army.

Therefore, firstly, our army will not fight with the official army, and secondly, our army will get rid of Huangfu Song before the food and grass are exhausted, so we have both ends."

The countermeasures were decided. In the flickering light of the torch, the light and shade reflected by the fire were uncertain. Li Mengxi's immature face showed full confidence, "I plan to surround him Huangfu Song for two days, and then the encirclement will increase day by day."

The pressure made Huangfusong dare not think about holding a stalemate, he didn't dare think about staying in the stronghold, and he was anxious to think about escaping."

"As for how to increase the pressure of the siege day by day, it is easy to hear." Li Mengxi pretended to be mysterious.

He did not explain what method could be used to make the besieged soldiers strong and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers dare not hold on for a moment, but only wanted to break out and escape.

"Right now, there is still a difficulty." Li Mengxi said, "Our army has surrounded the army camp and is facing a direct confrontation with the army. What I am worried about is that there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and only one soldier cannot be restrained, and the arrow is fired.

Then the war will begin immediately."

If one man cannot bear it, a war will break out."

"How to prevent this?" Li Mengxi asked Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Li Mengxi knew of many similar battles. Often, it was just a squabble between patrolling soldiers from two hostile countries, which then led to shootings by several people. Then the fighting between several people expanded into a battle across the entire outpost, and then the entire border soon broke out.

, in the end, it is a national war. Once the war starts, no one can stop it.

Also, soldiers from both sides were fighting fiercely across the trenches. Because the festival was coming, one of the soldiers put down their weapons and walked out of a certain section of the stalemate trench and said, "It's not a big day today. Let's celebrate the festival." The top commanders of both sides didn't know what happened.

What happened? Hundreds of thousands of people standing on the front line suddenly laid down their weapons and stopped fighting.

Li Mengxi knew very well that small actions by ordinary soldiers could very well become the trigger of war.

If one of the officers and soldiers gets cold-hearted and shoots an arrow, the officers and soldiers have an arrow tower overlooking them. If there is wind again, the arrow will shoot very far. By coincidence, a centurion of the rebel army will be shot to death.

Then, the Zhuozhou army was furious and went to ask for an explanation. If Huangfu Song had a tough attitude and could not reconcile the two, a war would inevitably break out.

Therefore, they encircled, frightened the enemy, and attacked the enemy's heart. They tried their best to avoid a battle with the officers and soldiers.

As a result, a soldier from the army flew in with an arrow, easily triggering a war.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are tens of thousands of unstable factors.

Li Mengxi felt that it was very possible for some cheap officers and soldiers to secretly shoot an arrow.

Then, the possibility of a war between the two sides is also extremely high.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think that he had to send the envoy to the army camp before the "stress" reaction of the soldiers guarding the camp and before dawn. It depends on how well Huangfu Song manages the army. If Huangfu Song manages the army in a lawful way, he can make an appointment.
