Chapter 25: Military Art and the Way of Robbery (II)

"Anyone who fights will win with a right combination and a strange victory. When the enemy is launched, they must predict the land where they are fighting and the day when their troops arrive. Know the battlefield and the day when they are fighting, the ones they are prepared will be dedicated so that the enemy can come as scheduled. And the mountains and rivers are dangerous and the roads are straightforward, and know the profits, and the battle will lead to many victories."

The old man’s second central idea is quite sharp and practical.

In Lu Bu and his robbery plan, it can be understood as: head-on attack is very dangerous, so you have to use surprise troops, use alternative means such as sneak attacks, hit sticks, and traps to start your robbery career. Since it is a robbery with less to more, it is best to take the initiative to attack and control the robbery location and time in your own hands. In this way, your side is prepared and you can determine the robbery strategy based on the robbery location and be fully prepared.

Several people discussed for half a day and formulated a plan. With the old man's approval, they sold the last chickens, ducks and sheep in their homes for money, and set off together.

Give all your money and take all your money.

Ye Xiaoyi felt that Lu Bu was quite this kind of meaning, but seeing everyone talking and laughing at the ease of talking and laughing, it was actually no big deal. After all, if it failed, three outlaws, like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Nie Liao, could rush into the bandit den and put those people in the blame. The reason for making plans was mostly to train everyone's awareness of marching and fighting, so as not to be called brave but not resourceful in the future, as if everyone would just fight to death.

When they arrived in Zhongling, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun bought some goods and a horse as planned. According to the old man's saying, "The so-called bait is used to lure them, and they are all bait soldiers. Some may ride cattle and horses, or entrust property, and they must not be taken. If they take them, they will be defeated." The first step for everyone to rob is to bait the bandits and use the goods to lure them out.

Although they are bandits, since they are entrenched near Zhongling, there are also old nests. There are many forests and rivers here, which are convenient for hiding. Since the bandits are not robbing nearby, they can only guess that they have patrol checkpoints in this area and will not do big cases, but are just guarding against the government.

But from the perspective of human nature, there is no cat in the world that does not steal fishy fish. The nature of a bandit is to pull out the hair by geese. Although theoretically, local merchants are not moved, if the other party has few people and a large number of goods, killing people to silence the penis after robbing a ticket is also a good choice.

Lu Bu and Guo Jia saw this. Especially Guo Jia, he wandered with the old man in many places, and felt that those bandits would never let go of the lone tourists. The key is how to arrange the bait.

Zhao Yun was a new face, so Lu Bu arranged for him to find out the bandits' routes in detail, and then asked Guo Jia to combine these routes with the terrain near Zhongling to see which routes the bandits might take and where to hide. What made Ye Xiaoyi more proud was that the map she drew played a great role, and she understood the official roads, mountains and rivers, which gave everyone a lot of convenience.

After the consideration of Lu Bu and Guo Jia, the selected robbery pioneer was Nie Liao.

Judging from the appearance, Nie Liao is a half-aged child, sturdy and not short. If this image is transporting a small batch of goods, it is more reasonable and will not make the bandits suspicious.

"However, when you encounter bandits, you can follow our plan, but if you can't meet them, what should we do?" Zhao Yun was not afraid of bandits coming, but was afraid of bandits not coming.

"...If you don't come this time, it means that the bandits didn't see it. We can let Brother Liao continue to drive the fake goods around until the bandits find out and try to rob them." Guo Jia sneered.

"Yes, yes, the blind cat meets a dead mouse. This time it won't work, there's another time." Ye Xiaoyi nodded. Lu Bu, Nie Liao, and Yu Fuluo had no objection.

The old man once said: "If you fight against a large number of people, you will be able to fight against the sunset, or stay in the deep grass or invite them to narrow roads. If you fight, you will win. The law says: Those who use the few should be narrow."

Guo Jia simplified the old man's meaning and let Nie Liao appear specifically at dusk. First, he couldn't see his face clearly at this time, which was conducive to hiding his identity; second, it was convenient for Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others to follow him, and also for Ye Xiaoyi and Guo Jia prepared to ambush the enemy's net.

Originally, everyone wanted to dig a trap somewhere in advance and then let Nie Liao lead the bandits to that place, but considering that this was too laborious and perhaps it was not effective, they had to give up. Ye Xiaoyi remembered that in the martial arts novels I had read, many masters were tied up by nets of various materials and could not get out of it. So, she specially found a fisherman to learn to throw fishing nets with Guo Jia, hoping that the fishing nets would be used as a trap. Anyway, one's feet to greet the thief and the other's head to greet the thief, are not bad. If it is useful, it will be satisfied, so as not to be regarded as a burden.

As for Yu Fuluo, he took a few super-small caltrops and prepared to play with tripping horses. Ye Xiaoyi saw the short knife in his hand and remembered the kind of soldiers who specialized in cutting horses and feet in later generations. He told Yu Fuluo about it, asking him to call the horses at critical moments to the lower three routes.

Before leaving, Zhao Yun was dressed in white and white robe and white horse, but was unanimously rejected by everyone, thinking that it was not suitable for night battles. Zhao Yun had to change into black clothes, wrap a black cloth on the horse's legs, and looked strange and weird, so he picked up the gun and got on the horse. He took care of the front and back, so the safety of Ye Xiaoyi and the other two was under his control. Lu Bu's palace, because he had the best archery skills and the strongest kung fu, he had to let him retreat and retreat.

Everything was complete. So Nie Liao led the horse he bought, and the horse was covered with gorgeous appearance and straw inside, and set off swaggeringly. He followed the five people sneakily toward the place near Zhongling, where everyone chose.

The first time robbery, I was inevitably excited. Ye Xiaoyi pulled Guo Jia, who was also jumping up and down, and suddenly thought, what should I do if I met a small group of bandits, but a large group of bandits?

what to do?

sweat.

Ye Xiaoyi wanted to say it, but he was afraid that he would dispel everyone's enthusiasm. Especially Nie Liao. These days, eating salted rice has made him want to kill people, and he always complained by the words in "Traveling through the Shang and Zhou Water Margin": "Without meat, the birds will fade out of his mouth."

But if the birds really fade out, will there be meat if you kill them?

Ye Xiaoyi wanted to make a spoof but couldn't lift himself up. In boredom, he felt the night breeze blowing coldly and the leaves rustling. No matter how you hear it, it was like a prelude to the murder overture.

It's dark and windy at night, and it's just right to kill people.

Tathagata, Guanyin, Allah, God, Taoist priests of Maoshan...

Ye Xiaoyi prayed that the gods from all directions would come to bless him, at least to let him not encounter difficult tough karma.

When she was silently reciting in her heart, Nie Liao had already led his horse to the big road in the forest.

The goods were halfway up the mountain, but there was still a place on the horse's back, which allowed Nie Liao to ride a horse to break through when attacked. Nie Liao looked ahead disdainfully, praying that the bandits would jump out quickly and let him kill him happily.

However, it was obvious that Nie Liao did not have the luck. He left for almost an hour and it was getting dark, and he did not see any thief star.

what to do?

Nie Liao sighed. He had heard the slogan of Lu Bu contacting him, and the voice signaled him to turn into the forest and rest soon and make plans tomorrow.

Nie Liao was discouraged and others were a little disappointed. Only Ye Xiaoyi was quite happy. She talked about her concerns while everyone was cooking at night. Lu Bu discussed with Guo Jia and others for a long time and planned a escape plan. Then they filled in their stomachs and went to bed, preparing to get another condom tomorrow.

Searching for, cold and deserted, miserable and miserable.

Nie Liao and his brothers held on for four or five days. When he couldn't help but get angry, he finally saw someone coming out of the forest with a sword and blocking the path he had to pass on on a dusk evening.

"Bo~~ People come in front of you, leave the horses and goods, I will save you a life." A bearded man stood not far ahead of Nie Liao with an axe. Behind him, there were a few men dressed in dark clothes. Several of them clamored to cheer for the bearded man, and they all ran towards Nie Liao. Seeing Nie Liao trembling, they all smiled grimly.

Nie Liao was indeed trembling because of excitement.

So excited! I'm fulfilling my mission.

Nie Liao looked at the barely forced bandits, turned over and rushed towards them with a whip, and thought to himself, brothers, let's start killing! Money, I, Nie Liao, are here!
