"Having calculated it, the Hu people will gather and move towards Yanmen Pass under Dong Hu's order in about five days." Yan Yan continued.

"Does this count?" Li Mu was even more surprised.

"If the general needs it, I may be able to calculate the movement speed and direction of part of the Hu army!" Yan Yan continued.

Li Mu frowned. He would be lying if he said he wasn't interested. If they could really calculate the opponent's route and speed, why would they need to defend and counterattack?

Take the initiative to attack directly and flexibly, and cannibalize the Hu people's armies step by step.

"Forget it, let's follow the plan!" Li Mu shook his head. What he was afraid of was to arouse the enemy. He had already set up pockets at Yanmen Pass. What he wanted was to wait for the barbarians to gather into the pockets he had set up, and then wipe them all out with one blow.

Leave all the elite of the Hu people at Yanmen Pass, and then take advantage of the situation to pursue and destroy the Loufan, Linhu and Danlin tribes closest to Zhao. As for the Xiongnu and Donghu, drive them back and let them starve to death. You can only go Make trouble for Qin and Yan.

"But we can still continue to monitor!" Li Mu thought for a while. If they knew the enemy's movements, they could respond more calmly and retreat to Yanmen Pass before the barbarians arrived.

Yan Yan actually didn't have much confidence. After all, he didn't have a lot of data to check the Hu people's movement speed, so he could only rely on a small number of records to calculate it.

"That is to say, in the middle of the month, the Hu people will go south and arrive at Yanmen Pass!" Li Mu thought, at least they did not have to wait for Yunzhong and Jiuyuan Fenghuo to send troops before passively hurriedly deploying troops.

Now that they can predict the approximate time when the opponent will move south, they also have more time to prepare.

"Subpoena, the military academy captains and shogunate ordered the generals!" As expected, Li Mu had people beat the drums for generals.

With the thunderous beating of drums, all the military generals and generals rushed to the shogunate. They sat down in queue and waited quietly for Li Mu's order.

Soon, Li Mu also brought the counselors of the shogunate to the commander's tent, and a brand new map had been replaced, marking the movements of the barbarians.

"Is this the route of the Hu people?" All the generals and commanders were extremely surprised. They had fought and fought with the Hu people to some extent, but they had never gotten such accurate information until the Hu people entered Zhao's territory. .

"All armies and battalions are on the defensive from now on!" Li Mu walked up to the general ordering platform and issued the first order.

"Here!" Everyone stood up and saluted with their swords in hand.

The war is finally coming.

"Our goal in this battle is to completely annihilate the main force of the Hu people, so let them come in and fight!" Li Mu finally stated his strategic intention at this moment.

In order to lure the Hu people to move south on a large scale, he held back for three years, and finally the opportunity came.

Yan Yan watched quietly from the side as Li Mu dispersed all the troops and laid a huge bag outside Yanmen Pass, just waiting for the barbarians to fall into the trap.

"Can you give me a partial army? I don't need too many people. About three thousand is enough!"

After Li Mu issued all the military orders, Yan Yan stayed in the commander's tent and asked Li Mu alone.

"Are you still planning to go to the front line?" Li Mu asked with a frown.

"I've done some calculations, and I can probably figure out where the barbarians gather their food and grass!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"Are you planning to surprise the enemy's food camp?" Li Mu frowned.

"You should know that food and supplies have always been guarded by a large army. With only 3000 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to successfully cut off the opponent!" Li Mu said.

Just like the supplies at Yanmen Pass are all moved to Hongshang Fortress, and Hongshang Fortress is guarded by another army.

"I'm just harassing the other party. I don't intend to destroy the other party's supply camp!" Yan Yan explained with a smile.

He is not stupid. The supply points for the 50-strong army will be guarded by at least [-] to [-] troops. If they want to eat the opponent, it is impossible to do so.So what Yan Yan wants to do is interfere with the opponent's supplies!
"I'll give you a team of Wuling Cavalry!" Li Mu thought for a moment. If Yan Yan could really interfere with the opponent's supply, it would be a good thing for the frontline army.

"Ah?" Yan Yan looked at Li Mu in surprise and muttered in a low voice, "I want it but I don't intend to pay it back!"

"I don't trust it if I leave it to others!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Yan Yan nodded and accepted the troop deployment order from Li Mu.

Three hundred Wuling cavalry and three thousand cavalry were what Li Mu gave him.

As for whether Yan Yan can lead troops, Li Mu has seen that Yan Yan can command the advance and retreat of thousands of chariots in an orderly manner, even if it's just a battalion of cavalry, that's no problem.

If Yan Yan hadn't been beaten to death and refused to go to the frontal battlefield, he would have thrown Yan Yan into the phalanx of chariots and soldiers and become a general for a while.

"I will give you the greatest freedom on the battlefield, and no one will give you orders after you leave. As for how to fight on the battlefield, you decide for yourself!" Li Mu still gave Yan Yan the highest flexibility on the battlefield.

In military chess deductions one after another, Li Mu knew better that Yan Yan's style of play had the shadow of Lian Po, so he could rest assured that Yan Yan would go out alone.

"Thank you, General. Remember our agreement, 30!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"30 people built the capital, waiting for your triumphant return!" Li Mu smiled and extended his hand.

Yan Yan also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Li Mu's hand tightly.

After leaving the camp, Yan Yan invited Li Ren and Li Xin and asked Li Ren to order all the soldiers and horses. He even took away the Hu slave soldiers that others did not want.

"Where are we going?" Li Ren and Li Xin were both puzzled. They had not received military orders.

"Go behind the barbarians!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"What will happen to our food and grass if we go to the rear of the barbarians?" Li Ren was the first to object.

Far away from the main army, their supplies were almost non-existent, and it seemed that Yan Yan had no intention of bringing too much food and grass.

"I have arrangements!" Yan Yan did not explain.

Li Ren didn't ask any more questions, but just took Li Xin to order all the troops and horses to prepare.

"Set fires and poison, you are all professionals!" Yan Yan finally looked at Yan Lingji and Baidu King.

"So?" Yan Lingji looked at Yan Yan helplessly, knowing that coming to Yanmen Pass was not good.

"Come with me to set fires and poison, and no one will accuse you or hunt you down. The more you burn and the more you poison, the greater your contribution will be. In the future, you will be able to earn a living in the entire northern China. !" Yan Yan smiled and bewitched.

"I always feel that you are in danger and you have to take us to deliver you!" the Hundred Poison King whispered.

"I'll go with you!" However, what Yan Yan didn't expect was that Jing Salamander would actually take the initiative to stand up.

"What should I do with your child?" Yan Yan hesitated.

"It has been handed over to the wet nurse!" Frightened Salamander said calmly.

Repaying her kindness is her most basic idea, at least now there is no trap for her anymore.

"Okay!" Yan Yan thought for a while and agreed. Who knows if there will be a sword master level master behind the barbarians.
