"Sir, we have just finished hunting. The food and grass were set on fire by people from Shanqian County beforehand, so we cannot continue marching."
A military lord came forward and said.
"quick!"
"Immediately raise food and grass on the spot in Shanqian County, replenish personnel, let the soldiers seize the time to organize, and set off early tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Chu La said without any doubt.
Early the next morning.
Before Chu La woke up, he was disturbed by a rapid knock on the door.
"grown ups!"
"Urgent report from Yunzhong County!"
Chu La ran out quickly and saw that it was the person he sent out yesterday to find out the news.
"Come back so soon?"
"What's going on?"
Chu La asked quickly.
"Sir, I walked halfway when I came across the news from Yunzhong County that the horse's leg was broken, so I followed it back."
"I heard that there is a war going on in Yunzhong County right now."
The visitor said to Chu La.
"What?"
"War?"
"With whom?!"
Chu La quickly tore the letter open.
"What?"
"A fight outside Yunzhong County?!"
"Didn't Li Mu go to Sanhe County with his troops?"
"Has Sanhe County been captured?"
"Where is Yunzhong County?"
"What happened?"
“What the hell is going on?!”
After reading the news sent from Yunzhong County, Chu La was completely confused.
The letter stated that Li Mu led his troops back to support Yunzhong County, and had a scuffle with the troops from Sanhe County outside the city.
Nothing else was mentioned.
"Sir, according to the analysis of my subordinates, it is very likely that Li Mu led his people on the way to Sanhe County and got the news that Yunzhong County was attacked, and then went back to rescue Yunzhong County."
"Sanhe County should not have been captured, otherwise it would have been mentioned in the news."
The man said to Chu La.
"wrong!"
"There's something wrong here!"
"Let me ask you, how far is Yunzhong County from Sanhe County? How long does it take to walk?"
Chu La asked the man.
"It can be close to two hundred miles!"
"If you take the soldiers with you, you can get there in two days and one night!"
"If we use cavalry, we can probably arrive in about a day."
The man said.
"Then let me ask you again, are you sure you can capture Yunzhong County within two days?"
Chu La asked.
"cannot!"
"The city of Yunzhong County is heavily defended. Without several times the number of people, we might not dare to attack it forcefully."
"They only have so many people in Sanhe County, it's absolutely impossible!"
The man blurted out without thinking.
"right!"
"That's the problem. If according to what you said, Li Mu and the others got the news on the way, they would definitely rush back immediately to help."
"In other words, no matter how you calculate it, Li Mu should have led his people and arrived before the people from Sanhe County took the city. Did Li Mu crawl over?!"
"This stupid pig!"
Chu La couldn't figure it out at all.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
"Why the mess!"
"Who can tell me why this is?!"
Chu La was very crazy. He originally thought that after taking the Hehe County Government, the entire Heyang County would be basically settled.
The remaining Sanhe County was short of soldiers and food, and there was no county magistrate, so there was nothing to fear.
I thought I was sure of victory.
But I didn't expect that there were holes everywhere.
I thought I had chosen an ambitious right-hand man.
But I didn't expect that he was a complete idiot!
"Report!"
"Urgent report from Yunzhong County!"
At this moment.
Another message has been sent.
"quick!"
"Send it in quickly!"
Chu La shouted angrily.
I took the letter and tore it open, and the letter inside was also torn open.
Chu La reluctantly put together the letter. He just glanced at it twice and sat down on the chair.
Yunzhong County fell!
Li Mu was killed!
More than two thousand soldiers surrendered!
What Chu La was most worried about happened.
Now there is a solid city defense in Yunzhong County, and with these thousands of troops, even if you want to attack by force, it will be very troublesome!
And Li Mu is actually dead?
The people from Sanhe County captured Yunzhong County?
etc!
That’s not right!
Chu La suddenly stood up.
"wrong!"
"There's something wrong here!"
"The man named Zhang Bao in Sanhe County has been eliminated by the governor. I heard that the man named Huang was also killed by Han Ba. So who is commanding in Sanhe County?!"
"Where did they get so many people?"
"How dare you attack Yunzhong County? And defeat thousands of Li Mu's men?"
"This is impossible!"
Chu La suddenly reacted.
All these news point to the same direction, Sanhe County.
Today's Sanhe County is like a huge mystery that no one can understand at all.
"You, send someone to Hehe County immediately and ask what happened to Han Ba."
"Go quickly!"
Chu La suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He knew beforehand that Han Ba wanted to take action. After all, Han Ba's actions would not do any harm to them.
Moreover, everyone is under the governor and has been here for so many years.
We also know that Han Ba has great opinions on his becoming the governor of Heyang County.
Chu La did not want to make the relationship too tense, so he left the affairs of Hehe County and Sanhe County to Han Ba, so that he could make some achievements in front of the governor.
But now it seems that something must have gone wrong.
But what is it?
Chu La felt at this moment that there was an invisible force controlling the entire Heyang County.
Even I am just a pawn in this force.
actually.
This is the disadvantage of untimely information. Today is not an era where you can know everything about the world just by sitting at home. For any message to be delivered, the timeliness is very long.
And this timeliness is what Zhang Bao calls an opportunity.
That's why they develop cavalry at all costs.
Regardless of the cost, he formed the Thirty-Six Cavalry of Bao Guard.
In such a short period of time, despite insufficient numbers, we had to divide our forces to capture Yunzhong County.
Dare to use a fake imperial edict to go to Hehe County to show off your power.
All of this is to take advantage of the lag of this message.
During this time.
Regardless of whether it is Sanhe County or Yunzhong County, once it enters a state of combat readiness, the entire city will be closed and no one can leave or enter. Only now are the news being sent out one after another.
No wonder the person who sent the message, Zhang Bao and the others have changed too much and too fast recently.
It's like this today. I just sent out a message, but tomorrow it changes immediately and I have to send it again. Where did there come from so many people sending messages?
Those who send messages can only wait until everything is over before sending them again.
Zhang Bao and the others took advantage of this time difference to do so many things and captured three county governments in one fell swoop.
And no one, including Chu La, knew what happened.
Information is the primary fighting force.
Information is the key to winning information wars.
Whoever can obtain more information can firmly grasp the initiative in the war.
This is the first lesson of Zhang Bao's modern warfare course.
