Chapter 284 When you capture him, ask yourself
"Report~~Great victory on the North Road, the enemy has been defeated!"
"Report~~A great victory in the middle. The enemy army was defeated for three miles. Do you want to pursue it?"
"Report~~I am chasing the enemy on the south road and I am in an ambush by mistake. However, because I was well prepared, the loss is not big..."
…
Following the announcements, the entire Chinese army tent was filled with excitement. Whether it was An Zaihuai as the commander-in-chief, other subordinate generals, or even Guo Zhan and others who came with Li Huai, everyone was excited.
His face was full of excitement.
Because they knew very well that what they and others were about to face was a great victory that they had not seen for a long time!
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the lord!" Liu Ben, who had looked unconvinced before and found fault with everything, now also looked happy and came over to congratulate him without any embarrassment.
Others also spoke one after another.
"Yes, since the rebel army retreated from Tongguan, the imperial troops and troops from all sides have not won such a great victory for a long time!"
"This victory is of great significance. After all, it is Guan Zhishan who is sitting on the opposite side. If he is defeated this time, it will be a good show!"
However, in the face of everyone's congratulations, An Zaihuai still looked calm. He knew very well who the real hero and leader of this battle was, so he came to Li Huai in front of everyone and asked for instructions: "Jun
Hou, now that the bandit army is defeated, how should we destroy it? How should we pursue it?"
"Eradicate?" Li Huai shook his head, "There is no need to exterminate, let alone pursue. All we have to do is wait."
Everyone in the tent was full of doubts when they heard this. But if they had muttered a few words before the rebel army was defeated, Liu Ben might have said one, two, three, four, five, but now it is just
I was slightly confused, but no one said it was difficult to explain.
"How do you say this?" An Zaihuai asked on behalf of everyone, "Could we just let the rebel army collapse? The general is not questioning the monarch, but the mountain of Guanzhi may not be anything in your eyes, but this ability of marching command
There are still some, even if it is such a huge defeat, as long as he can control the situation, he can reduce the losses of the bandit army a lot!"
"I understand, but the premise is that Guan Zhishan can control the situation. It's a pity, it's a pity..." Li Huai shook his head, pretending to be profound, and remained silent.
Now Li Huai knows very well that such a blank space can save a lot of explanations. More importantly, he can also get some reasons from other people's mouths.
Sure enough, as Li Huai's words stopped, An Zaihuai and others made full use of their past experience and immediately understood Li Huai's "intention".
"So that's it. Your previous arrangements, including meetings, letters, and even this battle, have shaped the current situation step by step for this moment. But the general still doesn't understand the most critical step.
What is it? And what effect will it have? After all, you specially asked the general to prepare an elite army and keep it for future use..." After thinking deeply, An Zaihuai had obviously come to a general conclusion, but there were still some things he hadn't thought about.
accessible place.
"The most critical step?" Li Huai narrowed his eyes.
To say that the key step does exist, that is to verify that the entire plot is developing according to your own ideas. In other words, as long as the actors are in place and the prerequisites are achieved, then there should be a signal coming back...
After all, the most important prerequisite, "Guan Zhishan's defeat" has been achieved!
Just when others wanted to ask a few questions, a voice came from outside the camp——
"Your Majesty, a certain family has come back to revive us!"
Hearing this voice, Li Huai smiled and asked people to bring in the people outside. Then Li Qing, holding a long sword, walked into the tent in full view of everyone.
Li Huai smiled and asked: "How? But it's done?"
"Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled!" Li Qing nodded, "We have released those people and quickly sent them to the place."
"Okay!" Li Huai was delighted when he heard this. He stood up and said to An Zaihuai and others, "General, give me the troops and horses I mentioned to you before. Now I'm going to lay an ambush in front!"
"Understood!" An Zaihuai didn't ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement. The other generals didn't have any opinions at all. Corresponding orders were issued one after another. Tang Bao personally mounted the horse and led the troops, walking with Li Huai. There were about four hundred troops in each group.
The elite soldiers mounted their horses and rode quickly. They left the camp in a blink of an eye and rushed straight towards a valley to the east!
This area was chosen by Li Huai, but it would not be unfamiliar to several generals of the Forbidden Army, because as soon as they set up camp, they understood the surrounding terrain and knew this valley.
.
The same is true for Li Huai. After arriving here, he began to understand the surrounding terrain, especially after acquiring the skills of Guan Zhishan, he looked at it again, so he knew that this nameless valley was actually a good ambush location——
The surrounding trees are lush and the terrain below is tortuous, which is very convenient for hiding soldiers and horses. Even if there are thousands of people, as long as you are careful and arrange carefully, you can still hide them.
But there is also a big disadvantage.
"If it weren't for the emperor's plan, and someone else asked the general to lead his troops to ambush here, then I would never come, because in such a terrain, no one who understands the art of war, or a person with sufficient military experience, would
Choose this place..." The soldiers and horses stood still, and after hiding themselves, Tang Bao came to Li Huai and said this.
Li Huai heard the confusion behind the compliment and said with a smile: "Yes, ordinary people would not choose this place, because it is a good place to be ambushed, let alone in the middle of a battle? He Guan Zhishan himself
It’s not stupid, but if it’s a critical moment, when you need to escape, and the surrounding roads are blocked, then you have to use surprise and find a way that others don’t think of. A master of war like Guan Zhishan will not know how to do it.
I don’t understand this.”
Tang Bao simply opened his mouth and said: "The Lord is saying that he is going to abandon his troops and flee from Guanzhishan? This is a bit incredible. Although the rebel army was defeated, there are still soldiers who are not in chaos. What's more, they are fleeing. We and others
There was no pursuit everywhere, and it was even less possible to block his other escape routes, so why did he have to go through danger?"
Li Huai smiled and did not answer the question. The reason was very simple.
His concept of screenwriting is just to write the premise and the result, which is equivalent to a story. The cause is listed and the result is also determined. As for the process? Then it can only develop on its own, so why has it come to this point?
"When you see Guan Zhishan later, you can ask him yourself and it will become clearer, right?" Li Huai said, suddenly frowning, "But I haven't made up my mind yet on whether to capture him or not.
"
Tang Bao was speechless for a while. Even though he had learned about Li Huai's skills, he still thought about this bizarre inference and the horoscopes before he even wrote about it...
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from below!
