It was not until the next day that Liu Tao made a decision. Then... the army actually set off directly, left Chaoge County for ten miles, and secretly camped near the official road that headed to Chaoge.

At the same time, an army suddenly came from Chaoge County, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yan in the Taihang Mountains.

When the decent people were sent to investigate further, the troops suddenly left and disappeared.

"Chief, the unit you asked me to investigate has left." The spy replied to Chu Yan.

"Leave?" Chu Yan was a little surprised, so he asked, "Do you know where you are going?"

"According to local villagers, it seems that they have returned north." The spy replied.

In fact, we first went north ten miles, then spent a big bend, and returned to the surrounding area of ​​Chaoge County, and stationed five miles away from the official road.

In other words, in this era, information transmission is backward, and the villagers' mobility is not high, so they cleverly concealed it.

"What's wrong. You have also reported before that this army came here in two parts. Since you have arrived here, why do you still have to leave?" Chu Yan felt something was wrong.

If he said that he was directly in the southwest and joined the grain transport team, he could understand. But it would be unrealistic to turn back directly.

"I have also found out about this." Spy, "The villagers heard them complaining, saying that there were no suspicious people here, which made them go in vain..."

"Oh..." After saying that, Chu Yan seemed to understand.

Obviously, the grain transport team passed by here a few days ago and encountered a spy he sent. To be on the safe side, they reported to the top. After receiving the news, they sent someone to investigate. However, they did not find out, so they simply left.

If you think about it, it seems to be much more reasonable. He has also understood the situation of the officers and soldiers in the past two years. Perhaps if he really chose to leave without any results in investigations, he might choose to leave.

"By the way, when will the grain transport team come?" Chu Yan asked immediately.

"Returning to the leader, you can reach Chaoge's side in one day at most." Another spy replied.

"You can't wait for them to arrive at Chaoge, and you'll do it halfway!" Chu Yan felt that it's safer to do it early. After all, the sudden appearance of the officers and soldiers made him very alert.

In addition, their supplies began to gradually be scarce, which made him urgently need to act as soon as possible.

He suddenly stood up and issued a formal order: "I inform the entire army and follow me to move, now!"

If you want to ambush tomorrow, then you have to go to the pre-determined location today and prepare for the ambush. Otherwise, if you go there tomorrow, it will be too late and you can only fight an encounter.

"Yes!" Several close friends around him went down one after another, and soon the robbers gathered.

With Chu Yan's order, thousands of people quickly advanced into the mountains and forests, not too far, less than twenty miles away. Because they did not count the baggage, they arrived in two or three hours.

"This forest land is good. Make an ambush here. Everyone can make do with it tonight and divide the potion. We can't make fire tonight!" Chu Yan came to the scheduled ambush site, observed the environment here, and ordered.

In the mountains and forests, the most feared thing is not wild animals, but mosquitoes. Not to mention that it is tormenting people without ignition. If a bonfire is lit at night, countless mosquitoes can gather, even worse!

In his early years, Chu Yan got a recipe in the hands of a ranger, using mugwort and other things to make deworming potions and apply them on the skin, which prevents mosquitoes from daring to get close. Spraying some potions around the camp can also prevent some wild beasts from getting close.

The disadvantage is that the taste is very strong, but living in the forest, you always have to make choices.

In the evening of that day, around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, as the cooling ended, Liu Tao once again opened the "Wind Dragon Insight", but this time he did not put his perspective on Chu Yan's camp, but was near here.

After coming here yesterday, he sent someone to carefully observe the surroundings and found that the place near the road is more suitable for ambushing. On the one hand, there are mountains and forests, and on the other hand, they are close to mountains. After the robbery, he drilled into the forest. It was not so easy for the pursuers to find them.

So the "Wind Dragon's Insight" is put here. After all, according to the calculation results, the grain transport team will definitely pass here tomorrow.

"It seems that Chu Yan and I have similar ideas..." As the images of this area emerged in my mind, Liu Tao just took a look inadvertently, then noticed something. After a closer look, he immediately smiled.

"Brother, is it that Chu Yan, who has also come here?" Zhang Fei stepped forward to ask.

"Just in the mountains not far from us, there was no fire yet, which was cruel enough." Liu Tao really admired the other party when he said this.

Just talk about his side, if he hadn't smoked some mugwort and ghost needle grass, he would have been afraid that those mosquitoes would annoy him. It's like this here, and it's still in the mountains and forests. Wouldn't there be more mosquitoes?

"I can't tell anything if I say..." Zhang Fei had heard Liu Tao's words and looked at the distant forest immediately, but he didn't see the fire. He was about to say something strange, but he realized that the other party had not made a fire.

"After that, it's so close... If you attack at night, I feel sorry for yourself." Liu Tao sighed. After all, the two sides were less than ten miles apart. And the other party came here today and could not make a fire. I think it must be very tired.

"It's just that the other party is in the forest, my cavalry cannot be used..." Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed.

"Simple!" Liu Tao looked carefully at the situation in the thief camp, "Isn't it enough to drive them out of the mountains and forests?"

"The problem is, brother, this time, there are only five hundred crossbowmen who deduct cavalry..." Zhang Fei still felt that it was inappropriate. He had nothing, but Liu Tao always had to take care of his safety.

"Don't worry about this. It's dark and the other party can't see the road, so we can see it. When they catch up, we turn around and run away, attracting them out of the mountains and forests. Wouldn't this just let you come forward to clean up the mess?" Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Can this really be like this?" Zhang Fei was a little moved when he heard this.

"I cherish my life very much, right?" Liu Tao pointed to himself, "The key is that I can make them mess up first."

If you really want to count it, it seems that it has not rained in the past few days. It is not considered dry and dry, but it is very suitable for setting fires. I just learned "fire arrow" before and have been planning to try the power!

"Okay, as long as my brother can guarantee this, then I have no objection." Zhang Fei thought about it and finally agreed.

"There is no need to be too nervous. Our enemy has not realized that we have been discovered by us." Liu Tao said, paying attention to the other side. Although Chu Yan sent someone to guard the surroundings, he obviously did not notice them.
