"Perhaps they're trying to tear open a path."
Qin Jiang speculated.
Hu Lie said thoughtfully, "To be surrounded, this is indeed what should be done, but this route is definitely not the best strategy. If they want to break through, they should take the small barren hill to the south, where there are few troops, and the terrain is flat, easy to attack but hard to defend."
The small barren hill was a flaw that Hu Lie intentionally left for Xu Zhongping.
He was worried that Xu Zhongping would not take the bait so easily, so he chose to sacrifice some of his troops.
However, Xu Zhongping took the bait faster than he imagined, and he forgot to withdraw the troops from the small barren hill.
"What on earth is Xu Zhongping up to?"
He couldn't fathom the other party's mind.
Nor could the other party guess his.
Yet he inexplicably had an illusion that Xu Zhongping didn't even bother guessing how he was planning.
He would plan his plans, and Xu Zhongping would fight his fight.
