I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 279 Preparing for an Ambush
After receiving Cao Cao's task, even though Su Ming felt that the task was heavy, he still had to complete it meticulously.

After reading the letter Jia Xu wrote to him, he could realize the importance of stopping Wuhuan's army.

Although it is said that Su Ming broke Wuhuan Mountain and captured Wuhuan to sacrifice to the Tianjin people, it is also very symbolic.

However, if compared with the new task of stopping the Wuhuan army, its real importance, I am afraid, is more important to stop the Wuhuan army.

Jia Xu's strategy is to stop Wuhuan's army and prevent Tatun from returning. This is the most important part of it.

As long as this task can be completed, at least it can ensure that the frontiers of the Han Dynasty will not be harassed by grassland nomads for more than ten years, even decades.

Although the task is arduous, it must be done.

For the stability of the border of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan army must be stopped no matter what.

Su Ming did not hesitate, and sent three times more scouts that day.

On the one hand, it was to avoid the Wuhuan chasing soldiers in the rear, and on the other hand, it was to look for the traces of the army led by Tudun.

The Wuhuan chasing troops in the rear didn't matter, the Wuhuan tribe in the rear now focused on defense.

As long as Su Ming didn't take the initiative to attack the Wuhuan tribe, they wouldn't look around for Su Ming's trace.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

"My lord, Qu Ah is back." Zhang Liao reported to Su Ming.

Su Ming sent his ace scout, Qu A, to look for the traces of the Wuhuan army led by Tudun. Qu A can be said to be a natural hunter.

This talent of his is especially outstanding when acting as a scout.

If it is said that even Qu'a could not find any traces of Taton's Wuhuan army, it would be God's help for Taton and not Su Ming.

Hearing that Qu'a was back, Su Ming only hoped that Qu'a could bring him good news.

"Qu'a is my confidant, he comes in, there is no need to report!" Su Ming said, telling Zhang Liao to bring Qu'a over quickly.

Seeing Qu'a's dusty look, Su Ming knew that he must have been running a lot in the past two days!
With Qu'a's leg strength, he may not be able to complete the investigation in ten days by ordinary scouts.

"How is it? Any news?" Before Qu'a could speak, Su Ming hurriedly asked.

Qu Ah cupped his hands towards Su Ming, and said, "My lord, it's a good luck not to disgrace my life!"

"Taton has been found."

After hearing the news, Su Ming was overjoyed.

Found it, found it!
It seems that the god is still mingling towards him.

"Bring the map!" Su Ming hurriedly beckoned Zhang Liao to bring the map.

Zhang Liao didn't dare to delay, he quickly brought the map and spread it in front of Su Ming.

"Tell me, where are they now!" Su Ming asked hastily.

Qu A looked at the map carefully for a moment, and pointed to one of them: "This is where I found them."

"Their marching speed is not fast. I turned back and spent the night. They should be here now!"

Qu A pointed to two locations on the map, one was the location where he found the Wuhuan army, and the other was the current location estimated based on the Wuhuan army's marching speed.

The marching speed of Wuhuan's army was not fast, which was just as it should be.

After all, he was a defeated army, and when his morale was already low and he wanted to escape, he could be faster.

Now that he has escaped from the encirclement of the Han army, his morale is low, and his speed is naturally not going anywhere.

Su Ming speculated that Taton must want to retreat to Wuhuan Mountain, so it is easy to judge his marching direction.

"Is this the direction of their march?" Su Ming drew a route on the map and asked Qu'a.

Qu A nodded, and replied, "Yes, this is the route. The daily marching speed should not exceed 100 miles."

"The military strength is about [-] to [-]."

In order to fish in troubled waters, Tadun disguised himself as a Xiongnu, and Wuhuan escaped the siege of the Han army on Bailangdao and Jieshidao.

They discarded all their luggage, and after entering the grassland, although they received some supplies from the Wuhuan tribe sporadically, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention their low morale now, they still don't have enough to eat, so the marching speed is naturally very slow.

Su Ming pondered for a moment, and drew a circle between him and Wuhuan's army.

"here!"

"White Wolf Valley, I am going to ambush the Wuhuan army in White Wolf Valley." Su Ming expressed his thoughts.

Zhang Liao is also a general who can fight well. He looked at the terrain of White Wolf Valley and said, "Young Master, although this is a valley terrain, the slope of the valley is too gentle."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to use [-] troops to ambush the [-] to [-] Wuhuan army here!"

What Zhang Liao meant was obvious. The terrain of the White Wolf Valley was barely suitable for an ambush.

However, with this terrain alone, it is difficult to make up the gap in the strength of the two sides.

Su Ming naturally knew that what Zhang Liao said was not without reason.

However, there is no other suitable place other than White Wolf Valley.

"They have to be stopped at this position and they cannot be allowed to go any further."

"Let them go forward, the Wuhuan tribe on the grassland may support them at any time."

"At that time, we will be attacked in the abdomen, and it will be even more difficult to complete the task!" Su Ming said with a heavy tone.

After Su Ming finished speaking, Zhang Liao suddenly realized what Su Ming meant.

On the grassland, the closer to Liucheng, the fewer Wuhuan tribes.

The further you go, the more tribes there are in Wuhuan, and there are also more big tribes.

Now, Taton's position is still on the outskirts of the grassland.

Su Ming chose to ambush the Wuhuan army led by Tatton near the White Wolf Valley because there are not many Wuhuan tribes near the White Wolf Valley.

If they ambushed there, it would be very difficult for Tadaton to have reinforcements.

If you go further in, although there is an ambush point with more suitable terrain, it is too close to the Wuhuan tribe. If someone finds out and has the support of the Wuhuan tribe, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Zhang Liao also nodded, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that it can only be the White Wolf Valley."

"But we don't have enough troops!"

Zhang Liao's tone was worried. With [-] troops, even if he had the advantage of the terrain, it would be very difficult to stop the Wuhuan army.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly thought of the letter Jia Xu wrote to him.

Jia Xu's letter stated that Taton was broken up into pieces, disguised as soldiers and horses of Xianbei and Huns, and escaped from the encirclement.

Since Tadaton could be disguised as soldiers of Xianbei and Xiongnu, then Su Ming and the others could also be disguised as soldiers of Wuhuan.

Thinking of this, Su Ming thought of a plan.

"Wen Yuan, I have a plan, I don't know if it works or not!" After finishing speaking, Su Ming spoke out his plan.

After listening to Su Ming's strategy, Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "This is a good way, but it is also a dangerous move."

"If it's self-defeating, I'm afraid it will backfire."
