Charlie was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion: "Why did you say this, sir?"

Lyman said: "All the plans I proposed to Xie Feng today are based on known intelligence. Without intelligence, there is no plan, and the feasibility of the plan is directly proportional to the accuracy of the intelligence. If the intelligence

If there is a mistake, then my plan will be in vain."

Charlie hesitated for a while and said: "Mr. Lyman is worried that the information is wrong? But the information was provided by Julian, so there should be no mistakes."

Lyman said: "It is precisely because the information was provided by Julian that I am worried."

Charlie frowned and said: "Sir, do you mean that Julian is actually Charlotte's spy placed beside Xie Feng on purpose, using false information to confuse Xie Feng?"

Lyman said: "It is possible. After all, at this critical moment, Swadia would actually force Julian to commit treason. This is too unreasonable."

Charlie couldn't help but said: "Julian will never be such a person!" Charlie and Julian were at the entrance training field at about the same time. Although the two of them cannot be said to be too familiar, they at least understand each other's temperament. According to Charlie's attitude towards Yuri

An's understanding was that Julian would never do such a thing, even for the sake of the country. And Charlie also learned that Xie Feng had encountered Julian's troops before arriving at Jiantian Valley, and

However, Julian let Xie Feng go. If Julian was the kind of person who betrayed his friends for glory, he would have directly taken down Xie Feng.

Unexpectedly, Lyman shook his head and said, "I don't question Julian's character or his friendship with Xie Feng."

Charlie was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Lyman said: "What if Julian himself was kept in the dark about all this?"

Charlie became more and more puzzled.

Lyman said: "Who provided this information?"

Charlie said without thinking: "Julian!"

Lyman shook his head and said: "I mean who provided the information in the first place - where did Julian get the information?"

Charlie said again without thinking: "Of course it's Xia... hmm? Could it be that..."

Lyman nodded and said: "What if Charlotte tells us this information from Julian's mouth in order to make us believe it? In order to confuse us, it is not ruled out that Charlotte will use false information on us. But, how?

Let us believe that this false information is a problem. Which is more credible, spread by Charlotte herself, or revealed by the mouth of a renegade lord?"

Charlie became nervous and frowned: "Then why didn't you raise this question on the spot, sir?"

Lyman said: "If the opponent were someone else, I might really question it on the spot, but the opponent is Charlotte... Have you heard of 'suspiciousness'?"

Charlie said: "Doubtful?"

Lyman said: "It's like your enemy wants to plot against you and sets a trap on the road you must pass. There are two forked roads in front of you. One seems to have a trap, and the other does not. You must choose one path to take.

, how do you choose?”

Seeing that Charlie was silent, Lyman also knew that Charlie was a smart man, and quickly understood the mystery of this problem, so he said: "After the 'four elements missing one' strategy I used against Charlotte last time, Charlotte

After Tebai panicked for half a month, Charlotte must have realized that there was a think tank beside Xie Feng. In order to deal with me, ordinary strategies no longer seem to be effective, so Charlotte is likely to resort to the tactics that have never been used in ancient times.

A 'suspicious within a suspicion' strategy that people can crack. If I choose not to believe the information provided by Julian, the information may be true, and vice versa. So, no matter what I choose, it is a gamble. I can't crack it.

This 'doubt within a doubt', even if you raise doubts, it is useless."

Charlie smiled bitterly and said: "In this case, it always feels like we are very passive."

Lyman said: "Actually, for Charlotte, the crisis is the same. This is a gamble, it depends on who can make the right bet..."

…

The next day, all the armies attacked in different directions. Charlie led 200 crossbowmen to the canyon in the southeast; Xie Feng led 800 people to the plains in the southeast; and Tan Zuo led the remaining 100 soldiers to the northwest.

The woods ahead advance.

Until just before departure, Xie Feng didn't see Tan Zuo's so-called friend. He was probably already waiting at the destination.

After several hours of journey, Xie Feng's troops came to an endless plain. Although it was still early, Xie Feng had already ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot. They must rest and prepare before the enemy arrives to be in the best condition.

Meet the enemy.

After setting up camp, Xie Feng smiled and said to Lyman beside him: "All our soldiers have moved out. It would be terrible if the enemy is in the city."

Lehmann said: "It would be easier if the enemy were in the city. Dehreim is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is impossible to harbor too many armed forces in the city. Only an idiot would choose to let the soldiers hide in the city and occupy Dehreim after we leave.

Herim."

Xie Feng said: "That's not certain, right? If there are really enemies hiding in Dehrem, after Dehrem is occupied, let the main force composed of a thousand Swadian soldiers suddenly appear in front of us. If

If we choose to return to rescue, then the main force will attack us. If we don't rescue, then the main force will continue to waste time with us. By then we won't be able to look after each other, and the situation will seem to be bad."

Lyman did not directly answer Xie Feng's question, but simply said: "Since you can think of this, why don't you send more soldiers to stay in Dehreim?"

Xie Feng giggled twice and then said: "If I can think of it, I think you can think of it too, Lyman. I just want to know why you think the enemy won't do this."

Lehmann said: "The reason is very simple. Our purpose of occupying Dehrem is to cut off Swadia's supply line in Kugit. But cutting off the supply line is not limited to occupying Dehrem. Even if it is just

Stationing near Dehrem, and stopping any team transporting supplies to Kugit can also achieve the purpose of cutting off the supply line. It can be said that as long as our large army is still near Dehrem,

It doesn't matter who is occupying Dehreim - of course, the premise is to ensure that there will be no enemy troops in our rear that threaten our safety - this is why we need to divide our forces to fight against the enemy, as you said

Yes, we cannot be in a situation where we cannot take care of each other."

After Xie Feng figured it out, he praised: "Sir, you are a true god!"

The sky gradually darkened.

On the endless plain, there was still an endless scene, without any abnormalities.

Seeing that the sun was going down, Xie Feng was a little worried and said, "Why haven't the enemies appeared yet? Could it be that the enemy troops have lost their way? Or are they deliberately trying to waste time with us? Regardless of the reason, it seems unlikely."

Lyman's eyes on the side became more and more solemn.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared from the east of the plain.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and soon everyone discovered that the black shadow was one of the ten scouts that Xie Feng arranged in the two detachments before setting off.

Seeing the scouts coming, Xie Feng felt something was wrong, but on the surface he still acted calm and composed.

When the scout came to the military camp, before Xie Feng could ask any questions, the scout jumped off his horse and shouted to Xie Feng: "Marshal! Something bad is going on! A large number of enemies appear in the canyon in the southeast! Brothers, we must guard

Can’t stand it any longer!”

Xie Feng was shocked when he heard this and immediately shouted: "Bring out the camp!"

Lyman, who was next to him, sighed softly and said to himself: "The bet is lost."

…

It was dark at night, and eight hundred soldiers led by Xie Feng hurriedly came to the canyon southeast of Dehreem.

What caught Xie Feng's eyes was that the canyon was full of corpses. They were lying horizontally, vertically, lying down, and prone.

However, most of these corpses were dressed as Swadia soldiers.

Suddenly, from above the canyon, a voice shouted: "Who?"

When Xie Feng heard this, he immediately responded: "Is it Charlie?"

Under the moonlight, Charlie's head poked out from the top of the canyon and asked: "Is it Xie Feng?"

Xie Feng shouted: "It's me! What happened here?"

Charlie took a deep breath, as if he had been in constant tension all day, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Charlie said: "Not long after we arrived in this canyon, Swadia's troops also arrived. Unexpectedly, the number of their troops was very large. It was impossible to see how many people there were on the other side in this narrow canyon.

.And they seem to have expected that there will be an ambush of crossbowmen here. Not only do they have specialized soldiers responsible for climbing up the canyon to attack us, but they also have a large number of crossbowmen to fight back against us..."

Xie Feng did not hear what Charlie said next, because Xie Feng noticed that under the firelight, the ground of the canyon was covered with some small black dots.

Xie Feng squatted down, pinched the small dots on the ground in his hands, and looked at them in front of his eyes.

It's a bee.

Strictly speaking, it is the body of a bee.

The corpses of countless bees covered this narrow canyon.

Charlie continued: "At this moment, a large number of bees suddenly appeared, stinging the Swadian soldiers like crazy. Not long after, the Swadian soldiers had to give up the attack due to the harassment of the bees.

We retreated. I don’t know where these bees came from, and they only targeted Svadia soldiers... Of course, a few of our soldiers were stung by bees, but the problem was not too serious..."

"Cecilia!"

Suddenly, Xie Feng's voice sounded loudly: "Are you here?"

"Are you here... are you here... here... are you here... are you..."

In the canyon, Xie Feng's echo echoed.

Startled by Xie Feng's voice, Charlie asked in confusion: "Xie Feng, what's wrong?"

Xie Feng ignored Charlie's question and continued to shout: "Cecilia!"

"Cecilia...Celia...Liya...Ya..."

At this time, Eric, who was already Xie Feng's personal attendant, came forward and saw the dead bee in Xie Feng's hand. He frowned and said, "Is it really the boss's wife?"

Suddenly, Xie Feng turned around, grabbed Eric's shoulders with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Cecilia is nearby, isn't she?"

Eric's shoulders hurt from Xie Feng's pinching, and he said bitterly: "I...I just arrived too!"
