Because of the relationship between the curtains, Lei Yuan saw Li Zhen hesitating outside.

He shook his head, turned back to the inner room, and continued to check the map.

In this world, the battles and killings are always like this. Both sides of the enemy and us are trapped in a lot of fog, and no one can figure out who is in the mind. Like Lei Yuan, being able to clearly understand the terrain and road distance is already a great advantage.

Most of the time, both sides of the battle are like blindfolded boxers. They do not know whether they hit the opponent's vital points until their fists are covered with blood; similarly, they know that their own pain is unstoppable and they know how the enemy punches. All other judgments are just guesses in the final analysis, and it is luck.

At this time, the night was already dark. Lei Yuan calculated for half an hour in one breath and thought of several plans, but it was hard to say it was perfect. Because there were many lights in the house, there was gradually some smoke, which made his eyes sore. He was a little irritable, so he stood up and opened the window to breathe a little.

Noisy sounds came from outside the courtyard.

It was Lei Yan and others who organized the civilians in the city to move the bodies of the dead outside the city to bury them. In addition, many people urgently repaired the city gates and walls. Even if they may not be stationed in the county for a long time, they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid that if they are alone, they must try their best to ensure the integrity of the city.

The soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the city should have changed one shift, and it is now He Song's turn to work.

If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few old friends in the Lei family in the county town of Lujiang, but at this time, thousands of strong men were forced to be recruited to work without hesitation. They worked very hard, and soldiers with swords and guns were patrolling everywhere. Lei Yuan occasionally heard shouting and beating sounds. It was thought that the patrol soldiers saw something unsatisfactory, and they punched and kicked them when they raised their feet. That was common, and Lei Yuan could not control it at all.

Lei Yuan remembered that there was a lyric in his previous life saying: "Heroes from all directions in troubled times, and if they have guns, they are the king of grass heads." This is what it means. In the troubled times, in front of swords and weapons, it is no wonder that some people in the city are in a panic and use the routine of sending women to serve to connect.

"General!" Li Qi called out of the door.

"How about it?"

"There are three batches of messengers sent out in the city, and the latter two batches were intercepted by us. Only the few people sent by our army when we arrived at the foot of the county town were escaped. Their purpose was Anfeng... It is said that General Fubo Xiahou Dun was bringing troops there."

"Has no one else escaped from the county since then?"

"There are many people who escape on foot, and they may not be able to arrest them all. But those who try to ride and ride will never miss the net." Seeing Lei Yuan solemnly, he said: "We will attack a small county with four times the elite. Even if we have not deliberately blocked it, we will never let it go."

"Okay. Go."

Lei Yuan nodded.

He turned around and drew a circle on the map that represented Anfeng.

The first batch of emergency messengers will arrive in Anfeng around the morning of tomorrow.

Those who escaped on foot couldn't walk very quickly. Unless they headed northwest to Bo'an County first... No, that's not as fast as it could. If you go around Bo'an, you have to cross the water and the water. Lei Yuan remembers that both waters were surging in this season. There was at least twenty miles of swamp at the three junctions of the river, so it was not easy to get through it.

In other words, by tomorrow morning, Xiahou Dun would learn that the county was attacked by Jiangdong side troops. But the successor situation was so there was no second group of envoys to inform him. Therefore, Xiahou Dun had no idea at all.

Since this is the case...it seems to be possible to use it to do some articles?

Xiahou Dun was in charge of the Jianghuai military and was the successor of Zhang Liao. When Zhang Liao faced the Jiangdong army head-on, Xiahou Dun should at least ensure the safety of the rear. Therefore, if he learned that the county was attacked, he would definitely send people to rescue him quickly. The force of this army should be at least twice as many as his own, perhaps ten thousand, or even more.

The roads from Anfeng to Yuxian are all mountainous and cannot be passed by the army. There are swamps at the Sancha of the Wushui and Yushui near Bo'an County. But if you go further north, you have to pass through Lu'an. This circle is too big and takes too time.

So they wanted to rescue Huan County. The available road was the narrow passage between the mountainous areas and the swamps to the south of Bo'an County. There was only this road.

The road is about twenty miles long and about a meter wide, barely accessible to the army. At the end of the road is a bridge across the water. The bridge is built in a narrower place in the river. Every spring and summer, it will most likely be washed away. But the piers are definitely there, and Cao's army can cut down trees and build bridges on the spot.

Lei Yuan took a pen and drew the road carefully on the map. He drew a large circle on the south side of the road and a small circle on the east side.

If the Cao army takes this road, Lei Yuan's troops can circumvent the mountain path in advance and launch a horizontal interception. The more troops the Cao army has on the narrow and long roads, the more they are unable to mobilize, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if they forcefully pass, when trying to cross the water, they will attack with an iron cavalry in half, and they can break it in one fell swoop.

Lei Yuanqing couldn't help but patted the table.

Very good, just do it.

However, the premise of this plan is that the Cao army must come to rescue the county. If they are still as motionless as a mountain, Lei Yuan will have no choice. Therefore, he has to send another group of people or two to serve as envoys for help from the county to urge Xiahou Dun.

Who can send to prevent Xiahou Dun from being suspicious? And also to ensure that Xiahou Dun can be trusted?

The first batch of envoys were already in Xiahou Dun's army. If the people he sent were not careful in dealing with, it would easily reveal their flaws and be exposed on the spot. It would be no different from sending people to die. Therefore, it is really difficult to confirm the candidate.

He thought for a long time, but there was no suitable person. As the night was getting darker, he became a little sleepy. While half asleep and half awake, a entourage came in and put on a robe for Lei Yuan. He woke up and looked up and found that it was Li Zhen.

Lei Yuan rubbed his eyes, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly he had an idea.

"Hanzhang, can you still stand up straight and walk? Who beats the twenty military sticks? You must have shown mercy, right?" Lei Yuan stood up and sneered: "I should let Chi Li Ningta come to execute!"

Thinking of Chi Li Ningta's strength, Li Zhen's feet weakened and he almost knelt down again. He cried and said, "Sect Master, I'm confused!"

"You have been a book and you know more about things than ordinary martial artists. But because of this, you can't help but think too much... If you don't change this problem, you will suffer great harm sooner or later!"

Lei Yuan cursed him with a stern face, and asked a little slower tone: "The one who convinced you to send someone to my room just now is the Lei family's important allies in Lujiang, but they did not go south to Jingzhou with the clan. Therefore, this strategy was implemented to clarify the intimate relationship between the two parties. Right?"

Li Zhen's cold sweat came back: "The Sect Master is aware of it!"

“Which one?”

"It is He's family in Fengxian County, and its clan leader is called He Zhen."
