"here!"

Yun Zheng smiled and pointed his finger at the map.

"Suqu?"

Shen Luoyan was puzzled, "Why did you bring up Suqu again?"

"fool!"

Yun Zheng tapped Shen Luoyan's forehead gently. "If the Beihuan cavalry really wants to attack from Langya Pass, why should they attack Shuofang? Wouldn't it be better to go all the way south to Suqu, where the defense is weak?"

The Suqu garrison is no more than 5,000 troops!

But how many troops are there to defend Shuofang?

That’s more than 100,000!

Although they are all Tian soldiers, their numbers definitely crush Bei Huan!

...

...

Moreover, as the rear base, Suqu also stockpiled a lot of food.

Suqu is only more than 300 miles away from Langya Mountain Pass.

If the Beihuan cavalry attacks at full speed, they can reach Suqu in one day, and there will be no time to provide support from other places!

If the Shuofang defenders dare to leave the city to block the attack, it will be exactly what Beihuan wants!

Therefore, if the Beihuan cavalry breaks in from the Langya Pass, the best solution is to attack Suqu directly!

Beihuan's feint attack on the right wing and sneak attack from Langya Pass were all deceptions!

Their real purpose must be to transfer the Shuofang defenders to Langya Pass, and then attack from the Liefeng Gorge to directly cut off the Shuofang defenders' retreat!

Following Yun Zheng's analysis, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin's eyes lit up.

Yun Zheng’s analysis makes a lot of sense.

Before this, their attention was focused on the front line, but they ignored Suqu in the rear.

But as long as you pay attention to Suqu, many doubts will be solved.

"But I still have one question I don't understand."

At this time, Miaoyin suddenly spoke.

"What's the problem?"

Yun Zheng asked with interest.

It's a good thing that someone raised doubts at this time.

If you have any doubts, solve them and maybe you can think of more things.

"Why is Beihuan so sure that we will send troops to Langya Pass to ambush them?"

Miaoyin frowned and asked, "Could it be that the leading general of Beihuan could have expected that you would send people to sneak into their territory to get information, so he deliberately sent people to bring you false information?"

“Yes!”

After being reminded by Miaoyin, Shen Luoyan also thought of this problem.

If Bei Huan's plan is to succeed, they must send their main force to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass.

If they don't take any action, what's the point of Beihuan using all his conspiracies and tricks?

“I think there are three reasons.”

Yun Zheng replied: "First, Bei Huan may have expected that we would send people to get information, so he deliberately passed false information to those soldiers to lure us into a trap."

"Secondly, Beihuan may make some small moves later to disrupt our sight and make us mistakenly think that they will come in from Langya Pass, thus achieving their goal."

"Third, Bei Huan might deliberately leak some information to Wei Wenzhong, so that Wei Wenzhong would order us to lead the army to set up an ambush at Langya Pass."

"However, I think the second possibility should be more likely..."

The first possibility is a bit taken for granted.

Unless the people of Beihuan discovered the eighteen ghost riders he sent in advance.

The third guess is not very likely either.

Even if Wei Wenzhong wanted to kill him, he would not have ordered him to lead his troops to set an ambush.

If that happened, if something happened to me, Wei Wenzhong would definitely be to blame.

Wei Wenzhong was also a cunning man. If he wanted to achieve this goal, he would not give himself orders directly. At most, he would set a trap for himself and let himself choose to ambush.

In this way, even if something happened to him, it would be his own fault and had nothing to do with Wei Wenzhong.

He doesn't know what happened now.

We can only make a judgment after seeing what Bei Huan and Wei Wenzhong will do next.

Chen Luoyan nodded in understanding, and snorted coldly: "Beihuan is too arrogant! Just 20,000 people want to consume the strength of the Beifu Army? Aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth!"

Miaoyin smiled and said, "Maybe there are more than 20,000 of them?"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I estimate that at most there are only 20,000 people! If Bei Huan's ambitions were smaller and they just wanted to capture me, they would probably only send 10,000 people..."

"Why is this?" Miaoyin was puzzled.

Yun Zheng explained: "The Rift Valley is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. There are too many people. It will take a long time just to pass through the Rift Valley! Moreover, there are too many people, and the food and grass supply cannot keep up..."

They had deduced this before.

If we really send 40,000 or 50,000 people, supply will be a huge problem.

If you really want to go through so much trouble, wouldn't it be better to directly attack Suining Wei or Jing'an Wei?

…

Guard the edge.

Bambu, the eldest prince of Beihuan, Wulie and others ate meat while discussing the next plan.

At this time, the messenger came in to report: "Report to the great prince, Sulutu's troops have secretly set out from Qingbian and are marching towards the right wing of Dagan!"

"very good!"

Wu Lie grabbed the kumis and took a swig. He then ordered, "Tell Sulutu to keep an eye on the enemy's movements. If you encounter enemy scouts, be sure to let them go alive!"

Since we are going to put on a show, then do it thoroughly!

We can't let those who are doing big things see the flaws.

"yes!"

The messenger immediately took the order and left.

Wu Lie put down the wine bowl and turned to look at Bambu: "Master, I have another question."

Bambu smiled and said, "Go ahead, Prince."

Wu Lie frowned and said, "If Yun Zheng does not lead his men to the Langya Pass to ambush us, but chooses to defend Shuofang blindly, what should we do?"

Bambu's plan seemed perfect.

But there is a very fatal problem.

That means Yun Zheng has to go to Langya Mountain Pass to set up an ambush!

Although Bambu has made sufficient preparations to achieve this goal, the final decision on this matter is not in Bambu's hands.

It's impossible for Bambu to directly order Yun Zheng to lead his men to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass, right?

If Yun Zheng is timid and refuses to leave the city, all their arrangements will be meaningless.

Bambu laughed and replied confidently, "Don't worry, Prince. I have a brilliant plan! However, I cannot tell you this plan for now."

Um?

Can’t tell for now?

Wulie was suspicious.

Is there anything else that cannot be said?

Is he afraid that someone in the camp is colluding with Da Gan?

Wu Lie was secretly suspicious. He glanced at everyone silently and asked no more questions.

After they finished eating and drinking, they had almost finished talking about their own business.

Wulie asked everyone to leave, and dismissed the people around him, leaving Banbu alone.

"Do you suspect that someone in the camp is colluding with Da Gan?"

It was not until this time that Wu Lie asked Bambu with a gloomy face.

"The eldest prince misunderstood."

Bambu shook his head and said, "This battle is of great significance to our Northern Huan. Please don't be suspicious of the generals."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Lie was dissatisfied, "What good ideas do you have that you can't tell in front of everyone?"

Bambu smiled helplessly and replied, "I don't have any clever ideas, only a cruel plan that will hurt both sides. I didn't tell you in front of you because I was afraid that it would affect the morale of the army before the battle."

"A cruel plan?"

Wu Lie frowned and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."

There was no one else present at this time, so Bambu no longer concealed the truth and said slowly, "If Yun Zheng doesn't lead his troops to set up an ambush at Langya Pass, then we will have no choice but to attack Mayi at all costs!"

"A surprise attack on Mayi?"

Wu Lie pondered for a moment, then immediately realized, "Do you want to burn the grain and grass that Da Gan has stored in Mayi?"
