"Your Majesty, it seems that Jiang Wei really has two shots, this plan has been successful, shouldn't we withdraw the ambush and go straight to Zhangye City, and kill a few more Wei dogs to expand the results. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Ma Chao, who was rushing excitedly, pointed his gun in the direction of the south, and his murderous shout interrupted Cao Cao's train of thought.

Cao Cao glanced south, momentarily undecided.

Although he was very confident in Jiang Wei's clever plan, he was afraid of the pottery merchants, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses did not dare to use all of them, and only half of them went to Zhangye City to set up an ambush, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses stayed in the north to set up an ambush.

Cao Cao's calculations, Jiang Wei and their victory is naturally good, in case they don't win, and they are pursued by the Wei army so far, he can ambush and intercept the Wei army's pursuers, and he can also win a big victory.

This is Fa Zheng's strategy for Cao Cao, and it can be regarded as a double insurance.

Being persuaded by Ma Chao like this, Cao Cao moved his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to Fa Zheng to seek his opinion.

Fa Zheng pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Since Zhangye City is on fire, it proves that Jiang Wei's plan has been successful, this is a rare opportunity for us to break the enemy, and the minister thinks that it is feasible to rush to Zhangye with all his troops and horses to expand the results of the battle." ”

Even Fa Zheng said so, and Cao Cao's face was full of murderous intent, so he moved the mind of raising troops.

At this moment, a cavalry scout galloped from the south, rushed into the poplar forest, and arrived in front of Cao Cao's palace, exclaiming: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, General Xiahou and they have returned defeated!" ”

Brush!

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed in shock, he was taken aback, his hand trembled, and he accidentally touched the blade of the Heavenly Sword.

The sword of Yitian sharpened iron like clay, and the palm of Cao Cao's hand was immediately scraped open, and when the sword fell to the ground, blood soaked out of the palm.

The left and right Ma Chao, Fa Zheng and other civil and military generals were all shocked and discolored, they couldn't believe their ears, they were so shocked that they couldn't even notice Cao Cao's injury.

When the Qin soldiers who were in ambush heard the news, all the excited discussions erupted, followed by an uproar and fell into panic and consternation.

"Zhangye City is obviously on fire, which proves that Jiang Wei's strategy has been successful, how can he still be defeated?" Cao Cao didn't care about the pain in his hands, he jumped up from the ground covering his wounds, and asked angrily.

The scout made a bitter face and said in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhangye City was burned, and General Xiahou's ambush soldiers also successfully intercepted the fleeing enemy soldiers, but at the critical moment, the pottery thief suddenly arrived with iron cavalry, and our army was caught off guard, so it will turn into defeat." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Qin State was in an uproar again.

Cao Cao's body shook violently, and he shook it a few times, with such an unbelievable expression, as if his ears had misheard.

"How is it possible, doesn't the intelligence say that the pottery thief is still thirty miles south of Zhangye, how can he kill Zhangye City so quickly?" Ma Chao also shouted incredulously.

At this time, the scout couldn't answer, so he could only spread his hands helplessly.

Fa Zheng also looked suspicious, stared at his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Although the pottery thief is thirty miles away from Zhangye, theoretically, if the pottery thief travels on a light horse and gallop when it is dark, he can arrive before dawn." ”

But why did he do that? He obviously knew that Zhangye City had been captured, why did he rush over in a hurry, was he full? Ma Chao asked in a sharp voice.

Fa Zheng's figure shook slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and said silently: "Unless the pottery thief has seen through Jiang Wei's strategy and is not afraid that Luo Cheng will lose, he will speed up the march and rush to rescue Luo Cheng overnight." ”

Fa Zheng's words suddenly set off everyone's surprise, and everyone shook their heads, feeling that Fa Zheng's speculation was too incredible.

Ma Chao said even more disdainfully: "How is it possible what you said, you must know that Jiang Boyue was laying out this plan half a month in advance, and the pottery thief came all the way to chase after him, it is impossible to know the truth of Zhangye, and it is impossible to calculate that we have secretly left a tunnel, waiting for the fire to burn Zhangye, if he can really guess it, then he will really become a god!" ”

Ma Chao's words also represent the opinion of most people, and everyone doesn't believe it very much, because the potters have seen through their strategy.

Even Cao Cao shook his head again and again, unwilling to accept this fact, he preferred to believe that the potter was just a momentary hot-headed, and he ruined Jiang Wei's clever plan by mistake.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "No matter how the pottery thief sees through Jiang Wei's clever plan, in short, the failure of this plan is a foregone conclusion, what is the use of waiting here to panic, it is better to quickly appease the soldiers, let them cheer up, and prepare to intercept the pottery thief's pursuers." ”

Cao Cao's words made everyone wake up suddenly, and Ma Chao suddenly became excited again, "Your Majesty is reasonable, fortunately, Fa Xiaozhi is smart, and he has already offered His Majesty a plan to set up an ambush here, and when the pottery thief chases after him, we still have a chance to kill him." ”

As a result, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals focused their attention on the avenue outside the poplar forest.

And Xu Chu and other guards, only then noticed the injury on Cao Cao's hand, and hurriedly rushed up to bandage him, after some busyness, Cao Cao held the injured hand and came to the edge of the poplar forest.

On the left and right of the avenue, it was immediately quiet again, and all the Qin troops were looking at the direction of the south with expectant eyes, and they were looking forward to the death of the Wei army.

After waiting for a long time, they finally saw the dust and mist in the south, but it was Xiahou Yuan who led less than a thousand defeated soldiers and was fleeing wildly.

Cao Cao's spirit immediately tightened, and he stood on a high place and looked further south, wanting to see the figure of the Wei army's pursuers.

He was disappointed.

Behind the defeated army, there was nothing empty, and the Wei army did not come to pursue at all.

"The pottery thief didn't come to pursue, how could it be, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?" Ma Chao exclaimed in surprise.

Fa Zheng secretly exhaled, shook his head and said helplessly: "Most of the pottery thieves guessed that our army would set up an ambush here, so they didn't chase after him, this pottery thief is really ......."

With emotion, Fa Zheng didn't know what words to use to describe the shock and astonishment of the potter's insight.

Cao Cao's face was also pale, anger replaced silence, and finally began to feel the pain in his hands, and he felt that he was once again being played by the potter.

Half an hour later, the defeated army entered the forest, Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei rushed to see it, and the two knelt down gloomily in front of Cao Cao.

"Forgive the minister's mistake, I didn't expect the pottery thief to see through the minister's strategy, and rushed to rescue Luo Cheng overnight, so that the minister's plan fell short, please forgive your majesty." Jiang Wei lowered his head and pleaded guilty to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao clenched his fists secretly, looking at the young man in front of him, his heart was both love and hate.

Love is because of his brilliant talent, but hate because of the failure of his strategy, which cost him 4,000 soldiers and horses, which is even worse for him who already has few troops.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly helped Jiang Wei up, and comforted: "Boyo hurry up, this battle is a lucky arrival of the pottery thief, I think your plan is seamless, how can he see through it, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Jiang Wei's expression relaxed a little, stood up, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if your plan fails, the army of pottery thieves will definitely attack in the near future. ”

"That's all there is to it." Cao Cao nodded helplessly, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

When the order was passed, the Qin soldiers, who were already panicking, came out of the poplar forest one after another and hurried north along the avenue.

Cao Cao also turned over and got on his horse, turned around and swept towards the south, looking at the raging fire in the sky, staring for a long time, before he gritted his teeth with hatred, beat his horse and whipped north.

……

The day dawned and the fire went out.

Zhangye City has become a scorched earth, and tens of thousands of Wei troops are not allowed to enter the city, so they can only go to the south of the city.

The potters planned to camp in Zhangye for the time being, and then continue to pursue north when the follow-up brigade of men and horses, as well as a large amount of grain and grass, arrived.

The camp of the army was completed, and in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Qicai led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to Zhangye City.

followed by, of course, there was also the Shangguan Wan'er girl.

In the imperial tent, the pottery merchant set up a small banquet and warmly entertained Shangguan Wan'er to thank him for sending him key information and avoiding the defeat of Zhangye.

After three rounds of drinking, Shangguan Wan'er was already drunk on her face, pink like peach blossoms, which made people feel heartbeat when they looked at it.

"Your Majesty, the people are too strong to drink, and they can't drink anymore." Shangguan Wan'er said "forgiveness" and half-covered her noodles and gently wiped off the wine stains at the corners of her mouth.

The potter smiled, and then he no longer forced her, and only drank the wine in his cup, but asked, "I wonder what Miss Shangguan plans to do in the future?" ”

At the mention of this, Shangguan Wan'er's drunken and beautiful face couldn't help but show a few wisps of sadness, and sighed faintly: "Wan'er grew up in Zhangye since she was a child, but who expected that Jiang Wei was burned to ashes, even her home was gone, her relatives were scattered, and she didn't know what to do in the future." ”

Looking at her lonely and helpless pitiful appearance, the potter became more and more aware of Chu Chu's pity, so he said gently: "Don't worry, you have merit in my Great Wei, and I am the king who will be rewarded for my merits, and I will never ignore you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wan'er's face was happy, and she was busy bowing and grateful.

Seeing this, the potter also got up and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Shangguan Wan'er up, and smiled gently: "Get up quickly, this is what you deserve." ”

When the potter's powerful hands gently touched Shangguan Wan'er's jade arms, her figure suddenly trembled slightly, and a trace of blush quietly added to her face.

When he got up and looked up, those apricot eyes were colliding with the potter's gaze.

Naha's fierce and majestic eyes were full of majesty, and there was a trace of warmth in it, which made Shangguan Wan'er see the other side of him, and for a while, she was even more Xiafei's cheeks, smiling shamefully.

This beautiful face, this shy and smiling look, the potter who looks at it is bloody, and he can't not move his mind.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, and secretly reminded himself: "Potter, potter, calm down, now is not the time to be impulsive, for the sake of the 'persuasion' artifact, you have to hold back." ”

"Tick...... The system friendly reminder that the persuasion talent does not need the host to cast, so the host does not need to marry the subject, only the subject needs to swear allegiance to the host, and the subject can cast the persuasion talent for the host. ”

Just when the potter suppressed the fire in his heart, the system elf coldly came up with such a long list of explanations.

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, in this case, wouldn't I have wasted so many procedures in vain, and I could ...... directly"

The potter's heart was happy, and this unexpected joy stimulated his blood even more, and in the eyes of Shangguan Wan'er, an evil fire was gradually ignited.

Shangguan Wan'er sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and then saw the eyes of the potter in front of her, that smile was even more meaningful, and the instinct of her daughter's family made Shangguan Wan'er vigilant.

She subconsciously took half a step back, her face was as red as a glow, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...... What does Your Majesty want to do......"
