"Report ...... General, the rebels hid in Fufeng City and held out. The spy said.

"Report ...... Generals, General Zhang and General Li have each led their troops to break the rebels and are driving the two rebels to the area around Ziyashan. "Another spy has come to report.

Zuo Jiao hurriedly took out the map and pointed to Ziyashan on the map.

Ziya Mountain, where the three counties meet, is low inside and high outside, with a basin in the middle and a swampy area inside.

When Zuo and the other two route armies separated, they had already formulated a strategy to drive all the rebels to Ziya Mountain, and then annihilate all the rebels in the Ziya Basin in one battle.

But now, there is a small problem, the other two route armies are facing some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, there is no difficulty in dealing with them at all, and they directly swept the past, and the plan was very successful.

But the rebels he faced were a hard bone.

Along the way, there were constantly people harassing them at night, and as soon as the cavalry was dispatched, they hid in the mountains and grasses like night owls.

These rebels who rebelled were all locals, naturally familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the troops led by Zuo Wei were newcomers, and even if they had a map, they could not guarantee that they knew all the terrain well.

As a result, Fufeng City, which could have arrived in three days, was dragged out until the seventh day. By the time Zuo led his troops to the city, the rebels had already cleared the walls and fortified them.

Fufeng City is the largest city in Fufeng County, the city is high and strong, if it is attacked, it is difficult to capture it with only the 10,000 people he brought, even if it is defeated, it will be a thousand enemy injuries, and 800 self-losses, and I am afraid that it will not be able to complete the big plan of encircling on three sides.

As soon as he thought of this, Zuo Jiao had a headache, and the other two groups of people had begun to close the circle, but he was not moving here, which was not very good on his face.

What's even more annoying is that if you don't find a way to crack it, the entire battlefield will completely collapse. After all, the number of rebels is still relatively large, if they can't be surrounded, then a group of people will escape through the loopholes, and it will be even more difficult to completely wipe them out.

Zuo looked at the map, thinking about how to get the enemy out of the city.

"General, why don't we bypass Fufeng City and join up with the other two teams directly?" said one of Zuo's lieutenants.

"Stupid, don't you know that giving your back to the enemy is the biggest taboo on the battlefield? Zuo Jiao said angrily.

The adjutant knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately replied: "The last general knows his mistake, and the last general just feels that there is no way to ...... if he continues to consume it like this."

Zuo Ji waved his hand impatiently.

"Forget it, eh, I didn't expect to meet a hard bone here, bad luck. ”

The adjutant had learned the lesson and stood aside and said no more.

"This group of rebels is like a shrunken turtle, they never want to come out, and it is really not good to continue to consume it like this. Zuo Di raised his head, his face heavy.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his face turned happy, and he said to the adjutant just now: "What you just said, say it again." ”

The adjutant was stunned by Zuo Jiao's sudden move, and didn't understand why the general's mood changed so much, and said tremblingly: "The last general said that since it can't be attacked here, it is better for us to send some people, pretend that we are still besieging the city, and then the main army will go forward to encircle the two major forces." ”

Zuo Jiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha, wonderful." I can't imagine that you kid is really capable. ”

The adjutant also laughed happily when he saw Zuo Jiao say this, but he didn't understand how Zuo Jiao scolded him at the beginning, how he would suddenly change his face.

After Zuo Ji finished laughing, he said with a straight face: "However, we must withdraw were, but we must withdraw thoroughly and cleanly." To make this group of rebels think that we don't take them to heart. ”

The adjutant listened to Zuo Jiao's words, and his face was confused, wouldn't this expose his back to the enemy, and when the rebels chased him out, they might face the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.

"What do you mean?"

Zuo Di looked at the generals around him, and he looked confident.

"You guys come here, I'll make specific arrangements. ”

Then, under Zuo Di's arrangement, all the soldiers became nervous and busy.

In Fufeng City, it was not the harmony imagined, when the rebels of Fufeng City were facing the pressure of the Black Flag Army. The crowd was divided into two factions, one faction was mainly promoted by Ren Feng and other mountain rats, advocating holding on to the city and fighting a protracted war:

The other faction is dominated by the commanders of the various mountains recruited at the beginning, advocating attacking and harassing, and crushing the other party with a numerical advantage, there are more people in this faction, and they are all the real power of Fufeng City, they all have people and horses in their hands, and their words also have weight.

Fortunately, the mountain rat is the boss after all, and he, like Ren Feng and others, also advocates holding on to the city, although everyone is dissatisfied in their hearts, they have to give him face.

However, they did not miss the opportunity, as soon as the Black Flag Army showed weakness, this group of people ran to the county guard mansion where the mountain rats were waiting to ask for battle. Every time, he made a generous statement, looking like the world was not as big as me, and he didn't take the Black Flag Army in his eyes at all.

This group of bandits has no knowledge, but the mountain rats know the difference between the regular army and their chaotic people's armed forces, don't look at their equipment is okay, and the number of people is large, but they usually pretend to be good, scare and scare the people, and once they fight with the regular army, it must be vulnerable, after all, the military literacy of both sides is too poor, and there is no comparison.

Ignoring the demands of this group of people, he still ordered to hold on.

"Report, Lord Mouse, the major generals have led people to the county guard's mansion. The guard outside the door ran in and said.

Since the uprising, the commanders of those mountains have been made generals by the mountain rats, which makes them look taller.

"What? are they going to rebel?" said the mountain rat in a deep voice.

After all, there is a precedent of Huotou Mountain, and he has long been on guard against this kind of seizure of power, as long as the other party has a change, he doesn't mind changing a group of generals.

"Judging from the small, it's not like, they all came with a smile. The guard said tentatively.

Hearing this, the mouse's eyes began to roll, this habit was formed before, and when he thought about things, his eyes began to roll, and then he didn't change it.

After thinking about it, he didn't know what was worthy of such a please, could it be that the enemy had withdrawn from the army?

"Call them in. ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, I remembered bursts of rough mine laughter from outside the door.

"Good news, good news, good news, boss. The so-called generals, as soon as they came in, shouted happily to the mountain rats.

The mountain rat looked calm and asked, "What good news?"

One of them said: "I was inspecting the city wall this morning, and I found that the officers and troops had suddenly retreated, so I sent someone to investigate the situation. And guess what?"

After this man finished speaking, he couldn't help but answer before he could wait for the mountain mouse to ask.

"The group of officers and soldiers passed towards our rear, and the flags, swish, and smoked, were all gone. ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone else said, "Boss, it's okay now, we'll be fine." I guess they didn't think they could beat us, so they ran away, haha. ”

When he laughed, everyone in the hall laughed too.

The mountain rat frowned, his face solemn.

One of them noticed the abnormality of the mountain rat and hurriedly asked, "Eh, boss, the officers and soldiers have been scared away, why are you upset?" ”

The mountain rat took a deep breath and took a letter from his bosom.

"This was sent by Qin Lituo from Henghe County a few days ago. ”

Qin Li, the rebel leader of Henghe County, has a little friendship with the mountain rats, when the uprising began, the two sides had contacts in private, but the friendship was not deep.

In the letter, he said that some officers and soldiers had broken through their cities, and they were fighting and retreating, and they were rushing to us, asking me to come to their aid, and I had been thinking about whether to strike them for the past few days. ”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not understanding what the mouses meant.

"This time, the officers and soldiers ignored us and went straight to the rear, they must be to intercept Qin Li. And ye said, Go out and save them. The mountain rat asked the crowd.

"Save, definitely save, let's come out to mix, first of all, we have to talk about righteousness. Someone patted his chest and said.

Someone heard this, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and said: "Phew, fart, save? Why do you want to save them, they and we are not all the way, what if they are rescued when the time comes, what should we do if they bite us back? I see, it is better for us to give the officials and soldiers such a blow from behind, and then take the opportunity to serve Qin Li and them in one pot to strengthen our power." ”

"Eh, Lao Shen, I said that I don't usually see it, you have such bad intentions. Someone teased.

"Go, go, what a bad heart, Lao Tzu, this is strategy, strategy, do you understand it, hum, I don't understand anything. The man named Lao Shen said disdainfully.

"Hey, you know, who doesn't know you, you don't know the big words, I'm pretending to be a cultural person here. ”

"Do you have what it takes to say another one?"

"Just say what you want to do?"

While everyone was making a fuss, the mountain rat spoke.

"Okay, okay, I thought about it, this time we have to seize this opportunity to strengthen ourselves. As for Qin Li, let them be entangled with the officials and soldiers, and they can neither be destroyed nor allowed to grow, so that the officers and soldiers will not pay attention to us. ”

When the people in the hall were quiet, the mountain rat continued: "With our current equipment, we can't fight hard with the regular army, so let's find a way to stab him in the back, and when the time comes, change the outfit for the big guy." ”

"Okay, let's just follow the boss. ”

"Follow the boss. Everyone laughed as they spoke.
