Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 858 Bluffing!

Under the sky full of stars, the mountains around Chencang were full of flames, and under the night, the sound of fighting was constantly echoing from places.

Lu Jun, who had camped temporarily, roared excitedly, and the roar of hundreds of thousands of troops echoed in the mountains, giving people the illusion of thousands of troops.

"Haha~ young master, now our army is ambushing the Shu army from all sides, Liu Bei can't escape this time!"

Guo Jia, who was walking on the mountain road, said to Lu Yu with a smile, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth after hearing this.

"Hehe~ It's all the strategist's plan. Otherwise, how could the situation be reversed."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Although he said he didn't dare to take it seriously, Guo Jia couldn't hide the smile that appeared in the corner of Guo Jia's eyes.

Under the night, the marching Lu Jun ate the dry food they carried with them one by one, and kept on their way without looking at them.

And the Lu army in the mountains is even more weird, with large camps standing at various exits of the Shu army. It is better to say that it is a group of people occupying dangerous places or high grounds to rest.

And in the mountains behind, Lu Jun kept rushing forward, like a pack of wolves, blocking the exits of the Shu army, and the wolves in the rear kept coming to support.

"Report~Young Master, our army has occupied various dangerous places, and the camp of the Shu army has also been burned. According to scouts, the Shu army is retreating."

Under the night, Lu Jun still didn't rest, and his horses galloped on the road, constantly reporting the latest battle situation.

After hearing the battle report, Lu Ying, who was sitting on horseback, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Okay~ Order the three armies to fight steadily, occupy high ground and other favorable terrain, and the rest of the troops will attack everywhere."

promise!
"Hehe~ The young master's move is similar to the king's wolf cavalry fighting method."

Seeing Guo Jia's flattery, Lu Ying shook her head with a smile and waved her hands, "Actually, this is my father's wolf cavalry style of warfare, but it's just replaced by infantry in this endless mountain range."

"Now the Shu army is eager to escape, and the wolves are following closely, biting down one bite at a time. Liu Bei, a fat sheep, will lose half of his weight even if he escapes by then."

"Hehe~ The young master is wise, but even though the Shu army is eager to escape at night, they may not set up ambushes on the road. I'm afraid our army has suffered a lot of casualties."

As the two whispered, Guo Jia stared at Lu Yu's face with a smile on his face, trying to see how the other party would react.

But Lu Ying shook her head with a wry smile, looked at Guo Jia and said softly, "Compassion does not command soldiers, this is what military advisers often talk about to educate Ying."

For Guo Jia's teasing, Lu Yu sighed helplessly and fought back, while Guo Jia nodded for a while, then stared at the night sky and muttered to himself.

"That's right, kindness does not command soldiers, the world has been in chaos for too long, and the only way to calm down the troubled times is to stop killing by killing."

Although the Shu army was eager to escape in the dark, Zhuge Liang set up many ambushes along the way, especially in the scorching summer, fire attacks occurred frequently.

Lu Jun, like wolves, attacked everywhere, following the back of the Shu army, roaring and gnawing off pieces of flesh and blood.

But at the same time, there were hungry wolves being ambushed and ambushed. When they saw their own side being ambushed, the Lu troops on the left and right sides did not rescue them first, but outflanked and left the Shu army behind.

The flames, the screams and the sound of fighting continued to echo in the night, and the air was accompanied by a faint smell of burning.

Jincheng!

"My lord, the Lu army outside the city turned out to be an empty camp!"

Changsun Wuji hurried to Li Shimin's dormitory, not caring about other reports of panic.

Li Shimin got up in a panic, and dragged Changsun Wuji to the study.

"Wuji, is Lu Jun's camp outside the city empty?"

"That's right, my lord, these few days I have felt that Lu Jun's movements are not right, but I didn't expect it to be a bluff, and the tens of thousands of troops were not in the camp. To discredit the hundreds of scouts who visited the enemy camp at night, they discovered that it was actually an army. Empty camp."

"There are only a thousand people guarding the camp. Lu Jun's billowing smoke during the day and the deafening sound of beating drums during drills are all bluffs."

Listening to Changsun Wuji's report, Li Shimin frowned and walked back and forth in the study.

"Wuji, is it true that Lu Jun is cheating? I just heard that Lu Bu defeated Liu Bian some time ago and is attacking the Huainan area frantically. Shouldn't the current situation be a large-scale attack?"

Abnormal!Lu Jun's whereabouts were very abnormal, and Li Shimin's first impression was that Lu Jun was deceitful.

Li Shimin, who was walking back and forth, frowned and suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Can you find out Lu Jun's movements?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the scouts have been sent out overnight, and there has been no trace of Lu Jun so far."

After Changsun Wuji reported, there was a trace of suspicion on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, shall we?"

After seeing Changsun Wuji's uncertain face, Li Shimin waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "Send a Gu order to dispatch five thousand soldiers to raid the camp of Lu Jun at dawn."

promise!
Whether there is fraud or not, he only needs to try it out. Although he suffered a disastrous defeat, five thousand soldiers are still enough to spend.

At dawn the next day, the sound of fighting and drumming outside Jincheng only rang for a moment and then gradually dissipated. Li Shimin on the top of the city was staring at the camp in the distance, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Report~ Your Majesty, when our army invaded the camp of Lu Jun, more than a thousand Lu Jun didn't resist at all, and just fled in thought."

"What! You can catch alive!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to what the captives said, Lu Jun withdrew at night as early as ten days ago."

Li Shimin's face was livid when he heard the news suddenly, and he was very angry!It's a shame that more than a thousand Lu Jun scared them so much that they dare not leave the city!

Li Shimin roared angrily: "Then why are you still standing there? Send out all the scouts to find out Lu Jun's movements!"

promise!
Li Shimin, who was too angry, had doubts on his face, waved his hand and beckoned a soldier and said in a deep voice: "Ru Su speed sent people to search for information on Shicheng and the direction of the Shu army."

promise!
Lu Jun bluffed and left ten days ago. This news had to make Li Shimin suspect that Lu Jun's behavior was either a trick for him, or there was a new trend in the Shu army that forced Lu Jun to withdraw his troops.

Of course, there is another possibility, that something happened to Lu Jun's territory, so that the reason for Lu Jun's sudden withdrawal could be explained, but Li Shimin dispelled this conjecture as soon as it came to mind.

impossible!Although Lu Jun led the army from the northern border to the south, the barbarians in the border area have long been frightened and have lost their courage. What's more, there are still strong passes in the border area, which is not an easy task at all.

In the end, Li Shimin thought of a possibility, that is, the movement of the Shu army had to make Lu Jun come back to help!
Thinking of this possibility, Li Shimin felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If the Shu army forced Lu Jun to retreat, would he have a chance to expand his power?

But Li Shimin was a little worried, if he used to be he would definitely dare to gamble, but now he only has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, if he makes a wrong bet, he will lose everything, he is the only one among the four kings in the world who can't afford to gamble, Everyone else has the background to dare to bet.
