Chapter 539: Decisive victory seventy miles away(2/2)
Seventy miles away, some people are busy.
After Li Mengxi calculated his workload, he suddenly frowned and walked more than seventy miles to the southeast. Where is it? Isn't Julu City in the southeast?
Ask Guan Yu whether he will hit Julu City if he goes all the way along the avenue.
Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "The giant deer... is only three days away."
Sure enough, Huangfu Song came from the southeast and retreated to the southeast, passing by Julu City.
Li Mengxi felt that Julu City had something to write about.
Less than a month ago, when the Zhuozhou Army was chasing Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao sent a light force to Guangzong to lure him. Zhang Jiao made a small trick and almost diverted the Zhuozhou Army, causing the Zhuozhou Army to surround Zhang Jiao.
When I arrived, it was delayed for more than ten days.
Experience makes people grow.
That time, he was diverted by Zhang Jue's side troops and fell into Zhang Jue's plan. That was the first time Li Mengxi realized that in addition to considering tactics, war should also be laid out from a grand strategic perspective.
Precisely because of this setback not long ago, the growth came in such a timely manner that now, there was a Julu City seventy miles away. Suddenly, Li Mengxi realized that he should capture Julu City first and cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.
Even if the envoys and troops retreated to Julu City, they would not be able to enter the city and could only continue to retreat.
Spanning two places, seventy or eighty miles apart, this is no longer something that can be summarized by tactics, but at a strategic level.
If he had not met Zhang Jue and had not been diverted by Zhang Jue's light troops, Li Mengxi would still be only good at tactics but not capable of strategic planning.
Fortunately, experience brings inevitable growth.

Everyone continued to survey the road conditions and terrain along the road. By evening, they had walked back more than ten miles along the road.
Altogether, we have roughly completed the preset of an encirclement of about twenty miles.
For fear of being noticed by the officers and soldiers, Li Mengxi did not return to the camp with everyone until dark. They were very cautious and deliberately took a detour to avoid the officers and soldiers' camp and returned to the army.

Xiao Zhuan was extremely worried and kept looking into the darkness, "Where is my brother? Why hasn't my brother come back yet?" Xiao Zhuan asked Liu Bei extremely worriedly.
Liu Bei had no choice but to coax Xiao Zhuan and said, "Come on, come on, my brother is out busy and will be back soon."
As they were talking, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded near. Li Mengxi and Guan Yu, who had not returned home for a day, were back.
When Xiao Bian saw his brother, he ran over happily and gave Li Mengxi a handful of roasted soybeans.
Li Mengxi chuckled, touched his brother's head, and pulled his brother towards Liu Bei.
When Li Mengxi came back, Liu Bei had already stood up to greet him.
Meet twice.
"Twenty miles have been measured today.
Tomorrow and the next day, we can reach forty miles." Li Mengxi said.
Next to the campfire, I found a place to sit down.
"We encountered two difficulties. First, it was difficult and arduous to measure the road. I was busy today and could only measure twenty miles.
Calculating the marching distance of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers will march forty miles in one day when they are ready to leave. I laid an ambush for two days and only reached the officers and soldiers for one day. It is inevitable that the encirclement trend will not be continued after a day or two.
This difficulty was not anticipated in advance.
"Again, proceed seven or eighty miles to reach the great city of Julu.
A certain person thought that the army came from the southeast and probably passed by giant deer when they came.
If this person is Huangfu Song, since the officers and soldiers have been repeatedly suppressed by the Zhuozhou Army in field battles, and Julu City is not far away, retreating to Julu is the best strategy.
Therefore, it is certain that after escaping the siege, Huangfu Song will definitely want to retreat to Julu and take advantage of the fortified city to confront our army again."
"The giant deer cannot fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Otherwise, if Huangfu Song is allowed to huddle in the city and watch with eager eyes, our army will be pinned down by him." Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at Guan Yu. Li Mengxi's eyes were bright and he asked, "General Guan, your subordinates
