The following text

Twenty days ago, Zhao Yu took the nearby map he personally drawn and came to Yang Tong's residence with Guo Da and told Yang Tong his judgment.

"Margai is exposed?"

When Zhao Yu made this judgment, even Guo Da felt incredible, let alone Yang Tong.

After all, they are already so careful.

"Tell me what you think." Yang Tong said with a frown.

"yes."

Zhao Yu nodded, placed the map he had drawn in front of Yang Tong and Guo Da, pointed to the area marked with Xiang Village and said, "This is Xiang Village. As far as we know, the officers and soldiers piled up a lot of food and grass here, and sent 500 county soldiers to guard it, as if this was the branch camp of the officers and soldiers... But as a branch camp, it was too ineligible, and there was no defense at all. A pile of food and grass was placed here, which was simply seducing us. As a trap to lure the enemy, it was too obvious."

"But there are still 500 county soldiers, aren't they?" Guo Da asked with a frown.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "These five hundred county soldiers... I will explain it later. In short, as a trap, it is too conspicuous. How would ordinary people choose in this situation?"

"Since it's a plan, then don't take the bait."

Yang Tong and Guo Da thought of each other at the same time.

At this moment, Zhao Yu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, ordinary people will choose to attack the main camp of officers and soldiers..."

『Uh?』

Yang Tong and Guo Da turned their heads to look at Zhao Yu, with a strange expression: Do you have any misunderstandings about ordinary people?

"...and this is exactly the trick of the officers and soldiers."

After saying this, Zhao Yu immediately saw Yang Tong and Guo Da looking at him with strange eyes, with a little confusion on his face: "What?"

Yang Tong frowned and refused to speak, probably because he didn't want Zhao Yu to feel that he was not as good as an ordinary person.

But in fact, even Guo Da didn't follow Zhao Yu's idea. After hesitating for a while, he asked shamelessly: "Ahu, I don't understand what you mean. Why would ordinary people choose to attack the main business of officers and soldiers?"

Zhao Yu spread his hands and explained: "Because the officers and soldiers were divided, they divided the 500 county soldiers from the main business and stationed in Yuxiang Village. The main business's troops must have been weakened; looking at the situation, the officers and soldiers were planning to use Xiang Village to lure us to take the bait. In this case, most people would choose to use Xiang Village to attack the west with one move, and fool the officers and soldiers to send troops to support Xiang Village. Then, while the main business's troops were reduced, they launched a sudden raid on their main business..."

"I see."

Guo Da nodded suddenly.

Nodded, but he did not agree with Zhao Yu's statement about ordinary people. Ordinary people knew it was a plan, but they subconsciously chose not to bite the hook, and they actually had to use it. Who is that ordinary person?

He shook his head speechlessly, and Guo Da continued to ask: "But what you mean, is this exactly the trick of the officers and soldiers?"

"Um!"

Zhao Yu nodded.

He had never dealt with Zhang Jing before, and he had never heard of the reputation of the "Five Tigers of Chen's Party" including Zhang Jing. However, considering that Zhang Jing was also the adopted son of Chen Zhong and Taishi Chen, and a general holding tens of thousands of military power, he was obviously a master of military art. A general who was proficient in military art finally made a trap like Xiangcun, which can be seen through at a glance. Let me ask, how is this general worthy of enjoying such a reputation?

Based on this, Zhao Yu immediately realized that Xiangcun, which seemed to be a trap, was actually just a camouflage bait. Zhang Jing's real purpose was to lure him to attack the main business of the officers and soldiers.

When Zhao Yu decided on this, Ma Gai sent a message saying that Xiangcun was indeed a trap, saying that it was a trap set by Zhang Jing to encircle and suppress the bandits in his Black Tiger Village.

The news sent by Ma Gai was completely contrary to Zhao Yu's judgment. At that time, Zhao Yu was also a little confused: Could it be that Zhang Jing, who is famous, really planned to use the simple trap to plot against them? Or was it that Ma Gai betrayed them and sent fake information?

At that time, Zhao Yu thought for a long time before he figured out this matter.

His judgment was not wrong, and Ma Gai did not betray them. The reason why the news he sent did not meet Zhao Yu's judgment was that Zhao Yu believed that it was very likely that Ma Gai was discovered by Zhang Jing.

Although Zhao Yu didn't understand how Zhang Jing saw through Ma Gai, he was sure that Zhang Jing had discovered Ma Gai and deliberately revealed false information to Ma Gai, which explained why Ma Gai believed that Xiangcun was the trap set by Zhang Jing. The reason was that Zhang Jing tried to use Ma Gai to lure him Zhao Yu into the bait.

Zhao Yu knew, or he could feel that his existence had actually attracted the attention of General Zhang, and the other party just didn't know his specific identity.

Thinking about it this way, all the doubts will be straightened out.

Then the question arises. Faced with this situation, can Zhao Yu go with the flow and use Zhang Jing's hand to get rid of Yang Tong?

He didn't have to explain the reason to Yang Tong, and deliberately asked Yang Tong to take people to attack the main business of the officers and soldiers, and then fell into Zhang Jing's trap.

But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yu gave up this tempting idea.

There are two reasons.

First of all, if he chose to follow the flow and pretended to be Zhang Jing's plan, Ma Gai would most likely be destined to be unable to remove the charge of colluding with Heihu Village, because Zhang Jing was already seriously suspicious of him. Unless there is strong evidence to prove that Ma Gai had nothing to do with the bandits in the Heihu Village, Ma Gai would probably not be able to maintain his position as a county magistrate in Kunyang.

Even if Yang Tong was captured by Zhang Jing, Ma Gai would undoubtedly die.

Of course, the ending is actually pretty good. It was a pity to sacrifice a Magai for Yang Tong to be caught by Zhang Jing. Although it was a pity to lose the Magai's level of internal response, considering that Zhao Yu's goal was also achieved, it seemed that this was not too much loss?

But the question is, is Yang Tong that stupid?

Yang Tong must be on guard against the situation of sneak attacks on the main business of the officers and soldiers. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he would immediately abandon everyone else and flee back to the main camp alone. Zhao Yu was not willing to secretly protect Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and other teams he liked, otherwise he would inevitably be questioned by Yang Tong: Since he wanted to attack the main business of the officers and soldiers, why not let Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others accompany him?

In the end, Yang Tong did not die, but Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, and Chu Yan fell into Zhang Jing's trap and sacrificed a horse cap. This was not worth it.

Considering this, Zhao Yu thought that he should plot against him in a place that Yang Tong could never imagine, such as the officers and soldiers under the captain Ishihara...

This army of officers and soldiers was deployed by Zhang Jing on the west side of their Heihu Village, and was ordered to prevent them from escaping west because they did not directly participate in the confrontation between the Heihu Village and the main forces of officers and soldiers. Zhao Yu believed that Yang Tong should not be on guard against them.

As long as he could fight with the 500 county soldiers stationed in Xiang Village when Yang Tong and others attacked Xiang Village, he would find a way to lead the officers and soldiers under Ishihara to the hillside on the south side of the mountain. Ishihara would definitely be able to detect the abnormalities in Xiang Village, and then either send people or take people to check the situation in person.

Ishihara, a man from Heihu Village, once sent someone to inquire. He died in battle because a companion was attacking Heihu Village. He hated Heihu Village, especially Yang Tong, and once he found that the people in Heihu Village were in Xiang Village, he would definitely take action.

At that time, if Zhao Yu had not expected it, Yang Tong and others should have just defeated Gao Chun, the Ye County Magistrate stationed in Xiang Village, and were returning to the village with grain...

A group of bandits who had just experienced a fierce battle coincided with the Ishihara's officers and soldiers who came to hear the sound. It goes without saying how they won and lost.

Of course, if we decide to implement this plan, Zhao Yu would have to find a way to pick out Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Guo Da, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and others he liked. As for the others, such as Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others, to be honest, it depends on the fate of these people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yucai and Guo Da met Yang Tong, and made a judgment that "Magai may have been discovered" to Yang Tong, and expressed his plan: "Since the officers and soldiers plan to use Xiang Village as bait and trick us into attacking the main village, they simply do the opposite... Let's send a group of people to attack Xiang Village first. When Xiang Village is attacked, they will inevitably ask the officers and soldiers to help the main village. The officers and soldiers think that we are trapped. In order to lure us into taking the bait, they will probably pretend to support Xiang Village and wait until we steal.

When attacking the main village, we returned to the army to support the troops halfway. We took advantage of this and sent small groups of people to attack the main village of the officers and soldiers to trick the group of soldiers who pretended to support Xiang Village to return to their main village. At the same time, we sent more people to attack Xiang Village. When the main village of the main village was running for nothing and working hard, we had already defeated the officers and soldiers stationed in Xiang Village and grabbed enough food. Of course, whether to grab food or not is secondary, the key is that we severely damaged the five hundred soldiers, under the eyes of the main village of the officers and soldiers."

Hearing Zhao Yu's plan, Yang Tong and Guo Da both showed a look of surprise.

"Is it feasible?" Yang Tong frowned and asked, "Are the officers and soldiers in charge of the camp meeting?

"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Although it is a small group of troops who pretend to attack the chief camp of the officers and soldiers, we can send Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, Chu Yan and others. These officers and soldiers fought with us many times. It is clear that these people are the "strong generals" of our copycats. When they see them taking the lead in the attack, they must believe it. At that time, our large group of troops will have enough time to severely damage the officers and soldiers under Gao Chun's command and greatly reduce the number of officers and soldiers."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Yang Tong quietly and said, "Master of the Great Village, it's not me that I'm provoking. Liu Heimu seems to be loyal and righteous, but in fact he is cunning, far less honest than Brother Guo Da. He chose to join my Heihu Village at the time of his desperate situation, but now, with the support of Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others, he has become the second leader of my Heihu Village. I know that the Dazhuizhu has a good relationship with Liu Heimu, but I think I have to be careful about this matter. If Liu Heimu is asked to be responsible for the battle in Xiangcun, he will definitely be even more proud after he wins. At that time, I'm afraid even the Dazhuizhu will not take it seriously..."

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense!"

With such obvious sow discord, Yang Tong could naturally see through it at a glance and immediately interrupted Zhao Yu's words.

After all, he also knew that the small group Zhao Yu, Guo Da, and Niu Heng hated Liu Heim the most, especially Niu Heng.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu deliberately showed a look of disgust and prepared to say goodbye to Guo Da and leave.

However, before leaving, Yang Tong suddenly called him: "Are you sure about Xiangcun affairs?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "I am sure that if there is any miscalculation, let the leader of the Dazhai punish him."

“Um…”

Seeing that Zhao Yu was so confident, Yang Tong nodded slightly, then waved impatiently again: "Okay, go."

After glanced at Yang Tong, Zhao Yu sneered secretly.

He knew that Yang Tong had taken the bait and attacked Xiang Village day and night, and Yang Tong would definitely take action himself.

It is not surprising that Yang Tong himself has no ability, but he is sitting in the position of the Great Village Master of Heihu Village. He has to worry about the usurpation of the throne day and night, so he naturally has to try his best to maintain his majesty as the Great Village Master. It is naturally the best way to lead his subordinates to win.

As long as Zhao Yu insists that Xiangcun will win the battle, Yang Tong will naturally be caught.

Zhao Yu was not surprised by this.

In the next twenty days, Heihu Village stopped moving, while slapping the patience of the officers and soldiers, while secretly preparing to fight a big battle with the officers and soldiers.

We waited until the second day of July when Heihu Village began to take action.

According to Zhao Yu's arrangement, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Niu Heng, Chu Jiao, and Chu Yan were sent to feint attack the main business of the officers and soldiers, and to buy time for the large-scale gang members of the village, Ma Qiangxie Xiang Village. Yang Tong and Liu Heimu led the remaining Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng, Ma Hong, Feng Xing and others to lead the large-scale gangs to prepare to attack Xiang Village.

The only exception is Guo Da. At Zhao Yu's suggestion, Yang Tong agreed that Guo Da would take charge of the main village. After all, although this "Heihu Village Manager" has good martial arts skills, he has indeed not done it himself for many years.

Around the second hour of the Xu Dynasty that night, three groups of people from Heihu Village went down the mountain one after another, each performing their duties. Only Zhao Yu and Guo Da stood in the open space outside the main village, looking at the main camp at the distance.

When the middle of the day approached, a fire dragon suddenly emerged from the main camp of the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain and headed straight for Xiangcun.

Those were many county soldiers holding torches.

"It seems that the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain have received the news." Guo Da said with a serious expression.

When Zhao Yu heard his tone, he knew that Guo Da must be a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Guo Da, although it's hard to say in front of the leader of the village, do you know Zhang Jing's identity, such a famous figure, would such a trick that even a three-year-old child can't be deceived?"

“Um…”

Guo Da nodded slightly.

A moment later, he attracted his subordinates not far away and ordered: "Go and notify Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others that you can attack the chief camp at the foot of the mountain!"

"Yes!" The bandit left with his fists.

After about one stick of incense, there was a riot in the main camp of the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Yu felt that the time was almost over, so he turned to Guo Da and said, "Brother Guo Da, you can almost take people to our old village. If Zhang Jing realized that he had been trapped and ignored Xiangcun and took the opportunity to attack our main village, Brother Guo Da could ambush the officers and soldiers with Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others in the old village."

Guo Da nodded, and then hesitated a little on his face: "That main village..."
