In Dongxu Pass, fat man Han Feng looked at Dongfang in a daze. In front of him, a burly man stood opposite him.
The burly man followed the fat man's gaze and looked to the east, "Brother, you mean... we have to take the initiative to fight the Yongchang Northern Army head-on?!!" His voice seemed a little hoarse, "I Gan Shui The border line is impregnable. In tonight's battle, 3,000 elite cavalrymen from Yongchang County were wiped out. If the 5,000 cavalrymen waiting for you are fully trained in time, even if he is really our neighbor from Lijun County, he will not dare to turn against me easily. Why bother now? Are you going to take such a risk and go out to fight at this time? Just let Li County and Yongchang County go dog-eat-dog. Wouldn't it be great if we just reap the benefits?"
The fat man shook his head, "Why don't I want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman? It's just that in reality, there are so many benefits that can be easily obtained. Now that Li County's army has left the border, there is a high probability that it will not stop at a Tongcang. City, and Mencius is trapped in Sichuan City. Once he learns that the back road is attacked, he will definitely withdraw his troops and return to support. Together with us, the three parties will inevitably have a fight around this Liangcang City. Compared with the ambitious and powerful Lijun, In other words, I am naturally more inclined to let Liangcang City, which is very close to us, be under the control of Yongchang County. In this way, Yongchang County can still surround and restrict Liangcang City, Zhengcang City, Xingcheng and Yicheng as minions from Tongcang County. In the city, the two are constraining each other, and with us watching from one side, Li County can only stop here for a while. If Yongchang County loses even Liangcang City, it will have to retreat to Zhengcang in order to revitalize the city and the city. Yicheng is on the defensive for the rear, so it will be too difficult to trap Lijun..."
The burly man frowned and sighed a few times before slamming his left fist hard on his right hand, "Then hit, brother, how do you want to hit?!"
Only then did the fat man dissipate the gloom on his face, forced out a smile and patted the burly man on the shoulder, "The beating must be done, but how to do it requires your and my brother's long-term consideration." He looked at the playground again The thousands of good horses were slightly in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to reality, "These days, I and several advisers and confidants have been deducing all day long. I just feel that Meng Zian's use of troops is surprising. Since we have verified it in many ways, we can basically prove that the northern part of Anling is now The situation in the important town of Sichuan City is indeed tense. The Yongchang Northern Army that can stay in front of us cannot be tens of thousands. The elite cavalry that we wiped out tonight is probably the suspicious formation Meng Zian deliberately set up on the southern front. , let us think that the Yongchang army is here
Southern route to ensure that we dare not move eastward to threaten Liangcang City before he takes Chuancheng, an important town in the north of Anling County. "
"Come and see," he asked a few soldiers to gather around with torches to illuminate the area brightly, and then he drew his sword and drew it on a piece of land. "Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to put Dongxu on the map." Notify the general of the enemy camp outside the city of the news that all three thousand of Guan Yongchang's elite cavalry have died and that Tianmen Mountain Pass has been lost and Lijun's army has captured Tongcang City. Then he personally leads two thousand cavalry out of Dongxuguan and invades their back roads. Then you will be in Dongxu Pass. Keep an eye on Xuguan. If they are not the main force of Yongchang, they will definitely abandon the camp and retreat eastward. Otherwise, the whole army may be annihilated here under the attack of us and the Lijun army. In this way, the enemy's camp will be destroyed. The truth is clear. If the actual strength of the enemy camp does not exceed 12,000, you will lead 8,000 elites to pursue me. I and the cavalry harass them and they will inevitably reveal their flaws. Once this happens, you and I will join forces. In encirclement and suppression, it is best to take advantage of the situation and defeat him. If not, we will chase him all the way to the outside of Liangcang City and then make plans. If the actual strength of the enemy camp exceeds 12,000, we will follow from a distance and finally meet up outside Liangcang City. ."
The burly man nodded, and then asked, "If it is as you said, brother, we really defeated this Yongchang Northern Army that retreated hastily, and then chased them all the way to the outside of Liangcang City, why don't we just try to take this big city?" ? Still have to wait for Meng Zian’s people to come back and then give up? "
After pondering for a moment, the fat man still shook his head and said, "We can't take it. Liangcang City is now a hot potato. With our strength, taking it will only increase the disaster. But not taking it does not mean not entering the city. Liangcang City is also Yongchang County." One of the three most important towns in the north. After hundreds of years of peace, the city has a lot of food, gold, silver, and even rich families. We don’t want the city, but we have no reason not to take the property. By the time Meng Zian’s people come back to help, we will have already Liangcang City has emptied most of it, and they can leave the rest of the mess to them."
The burly man smiled, rubbed his hands and asked, "What if we meet Zhao Wuji's people? Brother, didn't you say that Zhao Wuji might also covet Liangcang City?"
The fat man shook his head and connected the two circles on the ground representing Tianmen Pass and Tongcang City. "Tianmen Pass is still some distance away from Tongcang City. When Zhao Wuji takes Tongcang City, even if he goes north immediately, he will not be able to defeat us." Arrive there before arriving at Liangcang City, if
If he really divided his troops and went north to Liangcang City, it was just a matter of driving tigers and devouring wolves and sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. The Yongchang Northern Army must not surrender Liangcang City to Lijun! "
The burly man nodded vigorously, and after a long discussion with the fat man Han Feng, they returned to the camp to rest.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
A night of silence.
By the time it was dark the next day, Han Feng had already led two thousand cavalry out of Dongxu Pass, bypassed the Yongchang County army camp at a distance, and headed east under the watchful eyes of Yongchang scouts.
The burly man stared at the top of Dongxuguan City, listening to the reports from the scouts, but there was no movement in the Yongchang County army camp. When the sun passed noon, he couldn't help but become anxious, and ordered a group of hundreds of soldiers around him. The team selected 100 horses from the 3,000 horses in Dongxuguan and formed a cavalry team of 100 to go to Yongchang County's army camp for a closer inspection. Upon inspection, they couldn't help but be shocked!
It turned out that the huge military camp had been emptied out at some point, leaving only a few cavalry scouts, who had already fled far away when the centurions approached!
Only then did the burly man realize that he had been tricked by the commander of the camp. He hurriedly marched out of the city while sending a message to the fat man Han Feng.
The army left Dongxuguan and marched eastward. At first, the burly man could still maintain the marching rules. Later, after he scattered more than a dozen scout teams for twenty or thirty miles without seeing any trace of the enemy, he became completely impatient and marched at night. Such things were done, and he did not see the shadow of Yongchang County's so-called army before arriving at Liangcang City. According to Han Feng's original plan, he set up camp on a gentle slope ten miles outside Liangcang City. While repairing on the spot, he waited to meet Han Feng. Feng confluence.
But on this night, when the burly man was pacing anxiously in the big tent in the center of the camp, a soldier came in and handed him a bamboo tube. When the burly man opened it, he couldn't help but said to himself in surprise, "Brother has returned to Dongxuguan? !Why don’t you go according to plan?”
Where the soldiers could answer his questions, the burly man became more and more uneasy and couldn't make a decision for a while. Just when he was in a dilemma, another veteran scout captain rushed into the tent and knelt on the ground. , panting and shouting, "Report! There's... a fire... in Liangcang City!!"
"It's... there's a fire!?!" Hearing this, the burly man was stunned.
