Xie Lin turned his head and saw that it was Lin Ruyu, a counselor whom he trusted very much.

The origin of this person is quite mysterious, even Xie Lin's confidant general is not clear about it, all he knows is that he is meticulous in his work and has a deep plan, and he came up with many ideas when he was in Xiwu.

"Speak." Xie Lin said lightly.

Lin Ruyu looked around, her eyes moved slightly.

Xie Lin understood, "You go out first."

The rest of the people immediately retreated, and when there was no third pair of ears in the commander's tent, Lin Ruyu said slowly: "General, based on what we know about Tang Youzhi, this person will never advance rashly, even if all eleven military strongholds fall. If he hadn't been certain, he wouldn't have dared to fight us, let alone actively seek a decisive battle? Therefore, his subordinates speculated that the Liang army on the northern front line had reinforcements that we hadn't found, and this was Tang Youzhi's confidence. "

"Reinforcement?"

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. He changed his previous style this time. He didn't use cavalry to attack and fight in a large area. All the people were crucified near Xi Shanzhai.

He has done more than a dozen deduction these days, and he has not found any possibility of Tang Youzhi getting reinforcements.

Lin Ruyu said unhurriedly: "The cavalry that appeared a few days ago has a number of about ten thousand. It should be the Zang Fengwei who defeated the Wang family's children before. Their general is named Pei Yue, and he is Pei Zhen's grandson. He was originally unknown, but in the past two years, he has suddenly become famous, and he has become an upstart in Liang Junzhong. The subordinates have studied this person's information and found that he seems to be acting crazy, but he is actually very old."

Xie Lin sneered and said, "No matter how old he is, it is impossible to conjure up tens of thousands of troops out of thin air."

"That's natural." Lin Ruyu responded, and continued: "But why did he go to solve the predicament of Guyuan Village first? According to my subordinates, since his cavalry has a certain strength, why don't they come directly to Xishan Village? Isn't it Tang Youzhi's most reliable help? The core of the current battle situation lies in Xishanzhai, not the corners and corners. Even if Pei Yue is young and doesn't know the art of war, Tang Youzhi will never make such a mistake."

These words made Xie Lin fall into deep thought. His eyes stayed on the position of Guyuan Village on the sand table, and he said after a long time: "You mean to say that the reason why he went to Guyuan Village was not to defeat our soldiers?"

Lin Ruyu nodded and said, "It's definitely more than that. His going to Guyuan Village can certainly relieve the crisis there, but perhaps the most important purpose is to open up the connection between the battle situation on the northern front and Tiger City!"

Xie Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Since that's the case, why did he continue to go north to help Gongshan Village and Wumeng Village one after another?"

Lin Ruyu said in a deep voice: "This is just a trick. General, please see that the three villages of Guyuan, Gongshan and Wumeng are not far away, and they are laid out from south to north. If Pei Yue immediately goes to the direction of Southwestern Tiger City after supporting Guyuan Village , our cavalry can definitely stop him. But if he continues to go north now, he may be able to deceive the general, thinking that he wants to solve our offensive all the way, and finally join Tang Youzhi's army at Xishanzhai."

Xie Lin paced slowly beside the sand table. After receiving the news that the three thousand light cavalry in charge of Wumeng Village's offensive had been destroyed, he immediately dispatched his five thousand elite cavalry to charge directly at Linjiang Village.If Pei Yue's goal is really to deal with Wu's offensive in other places, then Linjiang Village is an important town that cannot be bypassed.

He didn't believe that the [-] elite soldiers in his hand could not deal with Pei Yue's [-] cavalry.

After a while, Xie Lin murmured: "You mean, after Pei Yue helped Wumeng Village, on the one hand, he achieved the purpose of mobilizing our cavalry, and on the other hand, he immediately rushed to the direction of Hucheng, trying to defeat me and stay in Beitiao The cavalry on the north bank of the river?"

Lin Ruyu said seriously: "Very likely! He also has a third purpose, to transfer away the elite cavalry in our army, which can further relieve Tang Youzhi's pressure. In this way, Tang Youzhi dared to take the initiative to march, and so did the cavalry in Xishanzhai. Come out. General, after repeated consideration by the subordinates, this is a series of tricks. Pei Yue's Tibetan Front Guard is definitely not weak, so he dared to go deep alone and attack all the way north from Guyuan Village, following Pei Zhen's old example. When our deployment of troops is disrupted by him, this person can take advantage of the fire and move the soldiers of Hucheng to the north, forming a front and rear flanking attack with Tang Youzhi!"

It has to be said that Lin Ruyu's analysis is very reasonable, at least in Xie Lin's view, if the problem is not considered from the height of the entire battle situation, this plan will definitely be difficult to take shape.

Now there are large armies outside Hucheng, including [-] Anyang dragonriders, blocking the south gate, so that the defenders in Hucheng will be as cold as cicadas.But Xie Lin is well aware of the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, not to mention that the Tiger City was built by the Wu State back then, so he naturally left some secret passages so that he would not become a turtle in the urn.

It's just that these secret passages are not like the main roads, and they cannot allow the army to pass through calmly, and we must be careful of the ambushes who are sacked outside.

The army Xie Lin left behind on the north bank of the Beitiao River was the rope used to tie the pockets, which was enough to trap the defenders of Hucheng in the city and form a joint force with the army to the south.

If Pei Yue's strategy was really to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and use the high mobility of the cavalry to attract his attention to Linjiang Village, he would have led his army to attack the southwest by now.

"Come on!" Xie Lin suddenly raised his tone.

"Please order from the general!" A soldier entered the room and cupped his hands.

Xie Lin's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Pegasus urgently ordered the Ruijin Camp, ordering them to ignore Linjiang Village and rush to the North Bank of Beitiao River immediately!"

"Follow the order!"

The soldiers immediately withdrew from the commander's account.

Xie Lin looked at Lin Ruyu, and said with a gentle expression on his face: "You have made another great contribution."

Lin Ruyu said humbly: "General, this subordinate is a dead person. Only by being rescued by the General can he survive. It is my duty to contribute to the General, and I dare not take credit for it."

Xie Lin said with emotion: "The matter of the Lin family has nothing to do with you. You would have broken the door long ago. If not, there is nothing I can do. After all, it is His Majesty's will to confiscate the Lin family and exterminate the family. Even the elders can't say anything, let alone me. An ordinary person from a poor family."

Lin Ruyu bowed her head slightly and said, "General, you don't need to be humble, as long as you can win the Liang Army this time and completely establish the victory on the northern front, the future Duke will not be far away."

No one could see the cold light in his eyes when he lowered his head.

Xie Lin didn't take his compliments to heart. For some reason, he was always worried, but he couldn't tell where the worry came from.

He put this thought on hold for a while, looked at Lin Ruyu's respectful expression, and suddenly asked: "Apart from you, is there anyone in the Lin family who survived?"

Lin Ruyu was stunned, facing Xie Lin's obscure eyes, with just the right amount of sadness appearing on her face, she slowly shook her head and said, "General, the Lin family should die except for me."

Xie Lin sighed softly, nodded his head and said: "The world is really strange. At the beginning, the Lin family hated you for not dying, so they insisted on driving you out of the house, and even made the whole city know about it. Even His Majesty asked about it. Who can tell It is expected that ten years later, the whole family of the Lin family will be killed, but you, an unfilial descendant, will keep a bloodline."

Lin Ruyu seemed to recall the past, with sadness in her eyes, she cupped her hands after a long time and said, "General Ende, I dare not forget it."

Xie Lin waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, you go and ask them to come in, and find out the weakness of the main force of the Longbow Army as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Lin Ruyu said respectfully, got up and walked out, the expression on his face was extremely complicated at this moment.
