"Military advisor, Yue Xi ran away!" Xiahou Dun rushed in from outside, Cheng Yu, who was facing away from him, was studying the map. When he heard Xiahou Dun's voice, he turned his head, but his face was very calm.

"Oh? I ran away, did you run in that direction?"

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, feeling that Cheng Yu's attitude was a little too calm, so he asked, "Don't you think it's a pity or surprise? Why did Yue Xi get away with the wind just after we started to make arrangements?"

"It's not surprising. Your army has military advisors. Can't Yuexi's army have military advisors?"

"Mr. Military Advisor said that they guessed our intention, so they ran away early?"

Cheng Yu nodded gently: "Yes, General Xiahou has not answered the question below yet!"

"Oh, yes, they are moving southward and approaching towards Zhongli, which is also very strange!"

"No wonder, they hope that Huang Zhong's troops would restrain General Xiahou Yuan, and then they would pass through the Huai River calmly, then turn around and use the Huai River to block our pursuers from General Xu Chu, and then work with Huang Zhong to eat General Xiahou Yuan."

"What should we do? Let's immediately send troops to chase and prevent it from crossing the river?"

"We must send troops to pursue immediately, and at the same time inform General Xu Chu of the enemy's movements and our response. We must also inform General Xiahou Yuan that he would immediately clear all the ships on the Huai River, send them upstream or drag them to the south bank to seal them, so as to prevent the enemy from crossing the river. In addition, General Xiahou Yuan must act cautiously and not be dragged by Huang Zhong, and must strictly prevent crossing Xi River. Then we cooperate with General Xu Chu in the north to compress their transfer space and annihilate them on the north bank of the Huai River!"

Xiahou Dun thought for a while and said, "Then our cavalry go east, seize the direction of the Wuhe River, and then advance from east to west, and the infantry go directly south, slowly compressing the enemy's activity space, and then let General Xu Chu chase and intercept the enemy from the west to prevent the enemy from turning west."

Cheng Yu frowned, but nodded and said, "It's possible! But the infantry in the north may become a loophole in our encirclement. Therefore, a suspicious soldier is needed to use the north. These cavalry hid behind the infantry and exposed General Xiahou's flag. If Yuexi tries to the east to break through, General Xiahou can hold it back, and our infantry will then press forward, and then General Xu Chu will be able to wipe out the villa. If the enemy goes north, General Xiahou turns around and surround the north, and General Xu Chu also turns around and surround the north to maintain a pursuit situation."

"But if the enemy forces break north, wouldn't it be..."

"Most of the enemy troops will not go north. I heard that the enemy's food and grass are not much, but the weakness of the infantry in the north is obvious. Therefore, the suspicious soldiers behind the infantry under the banner of General Xiahou will make the opponent think that the ambush behind the infantry, and General Xiahou in the east cannot expose the army, so he can only send small troops to clean up the enemy's scouts and Yiren's troops."

"If it is virtual, it is real, it is virtual?"

“That’s right!”

"Military advisor's plan!"

....................................................................................................

"Military Guo, according to the scout's information, Xu Chu walked around to our west side, about 120 miles away from our army. Xiahou Dun's infantry was slowly pressing over from the direction of Wuxiong County. Behind the infantry were also a large group of cavalry followed, holding Xiahou Dun's flag. In the Wuhe area to the east, the aliens seemed to have encountered Xiahou Dun's elite cavalry. The number was unknown."

Guo Jia stood on the hillside and looked at the setting sun on the west side. The setting sun in the long river looked very interesting.

"The sun sets again. No matter how the world goes, the sun always rises and sets in the east and never changes!"

"Haha, Military Advisor Guo is still in a mood to express his feelings. The enemy's siege has gradually formed, and our space for activities is getting less and less."

Guo Jia looked back at Yue Xi's helpless expression and said with a smile: "General Yue doesn't need to worry. If he really wants to leave, just rush northward. The enemy behind the infantry must be suspicious soldiers. They don't have so many troops to dispatch. It would be fine if they just drove us away honestly. Now they still want to bite a piece of meat from us. It's really a bit too greedy."

Yue Xi looked at Guo Jia in confusion. Under the dim skylight, Guo Jia stood in a backlight again. Yue Xi could not see Guo Jia's expression clearly, but he could see Guo Jia's confident eyes.

"Mr. Guo, do you mean that behind the infantry in the north, it is impossible for Xiahou Dun's cavalry unit? And the Wuhe area is Xiahou Dun's army?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"But, this is unreasonable!"

"The enemy just wants us to feel that it is unreasonable. There must be something strange about unreasonable things. Then we will suspect that the Wuhe area is a trick of doubting soldiers. On the contrary, behind the infantry is a heavy army ambush, so we will assault eastward."

"Yes, it's reasonable to think like this!"

"However, if we only look at the layout, if the enemy wants to siege us, we must encircle from four directions. On the west side are Xu Chu's cavalry. This can be confirmed that there are Huai River and Xiahou Yuan blocking in the south. This is also certain. The infantry in the north cannot be fake now. The remaining one is the question of who is real and fake in the cavalry in the Wuhe area and the cavalry behind the infantry."

"Well, that's true."

"So, if there are indeed cavalry in the Five Rivers area, where is the weakest place in this encirclement?"

"North!"

"Very good, then I'll ask you again, what would you choose if you suspect there is an ambush behind the infantry?"

"But......"

"Can you deny that you are already suspicious of the fact that there are ambushes behind the infantry?"

"No, so I will test the eastward maneuver to see if there are any cavalry in the Wuhe area!"

"By the way, this is what the enemy hopes that we will do. Because they lack cavalry, they can only put the loopholes in the north. If we run from the east, then the war will end and everyone will lose much, and they are not satisfied. And if we go around from the north, for Xiahou Dun, the war will continue. They have always believed that our army's food and grass are less than five days. In this way, if we go north, our army will fall into a situation of cutting off food and grass, so we will choose to go east. If I am not wrong, the enemy's infantry should move southeastward and approach the Wuhe area, just to force us to break away from the northwest."

"Then they don't need to be so troublesome. As long as Xiahou Dun seizes the Wuhe area with great fanfare, we either force ourselves to break through or choose to go north to avoid the war. Wouldn't we achieve the same effect?"

"It's different. If we choose to go north directly, we will save a day. If we hesitate to storm eastward, one may be entangled and then surrounded, and the other may be successful in leaving, but it has wasted a day. They are just trying to delay time and wait for our food to run out."

Yue Xi took a breath: "So it's so precise!"

"Haha, precision calculations and adaptability are needed on the battlefield, especially when the strength gap between the two sides is not large, we must wear off the opponent's advantages little by little, use endless means to consume the opponent, and eventually reverse the comparison of the strength of both sides. This is the role of a military advisor. I always want to make sure the world's affairs are not possible!"

"Since that's the case, we just need to turn around and move north and mobilize the enemy again. Maybe we can give them a surprise when we return to Wuxie County!"

"It's impossible. Li Dian's troops must be stationed in Wu County. And when we turn around, Xiahou Dun will also turn around. If we go south again, then Xiahou Yuan may also cross the Huai River to participate in the siege. Huang Zhong's troops are too small, and it will be difficult to deter Zhongli, and it may be difficult to hold Xiahou Yuan's troops."

"So why don't they cross the Huai River now?"

"They don't want to force us into a hurry. If Xiahou Yuan crossed north, we would definitely choose to join forces with Huang Zhong to attack Xiahou Dun in the east, even if it costs a huge price. In fact, they are playing the trick of three missing one, and wanting to waste time that is very precious to us when we are lucky. If we return to the Huai River after a few days of hard work, we will not have many choices due to food and grass issues. At that time, they can concentrate their strength in one direction. As long as they block the east and south and cut off the possibility of our passage through the Huai River, we will definitely lose."

"So, our best choice now is to forcibly attack the east and break through at any cost?"

"Of course not, we go north. Since they want us to go north, we go north!"

"But... although we have more food than they expected, going north cannot eventually change our situation."

"Haha, now the enemy is compressing our activity space between Huai River and Wuxiu County, or rushing us to leave, but they are not in a hurry to start a war with us. Unless we try to break through the three boundaries north of Wuxiu County, east of Wuxiu River, and south of Huai River, the war will not happen for the time being."

Yue Xi frowned and thought about it, but found that there was really no good way to deal with it. Although he had just said that he had broken through to the Wuhe area, the water network in Wuhe area was actually the most unsuitable for cavalry combat, especially for archers and cavalrymen. That was really a helpless choice.

Unexpectedly, the enemy had already set up a big net around him silently. If Guo Jia had not explained this thoroughly, Yue Xi would never have seen that he had basically fallen into the trap. Cao Cao was indeed amazing!

What's even more amazing is Guo Jia. He actually wanted to teach Cao Cao a lesson in this dangerous situation. Yue Xi racked his brains and couldn't think of it. In such a bad situation, how can he teach Cao Jun another lesson!

"Mr. Guo, what about after advancing north?"

"Of course I went south!"

"What about after going south? At this time, Xiahou Yuan will cross the river and attack us!?"

"When he crosses the river, it is the time for us to defeat him!"
