In the second year of the first year, in the second half of the first month, the temperature has begun to warm, and the ice and snow are gradually melting.

Under the city of Nanzheng.

In the confrontation between the two armies, the atmosphere was treacherous.

Two days ago, the herdsman army had already crossed the Nanshui Township City, directly approached the city, tens of thousands of main forces stretched for several miles, Chen soldiers lined up, the arrogance was monstrous, one by one the banners were facing the wind, faintly visible, but there was never a siege of the city.

However, just such a powerful array outside the city, the siege of the city is enough to make the very funny people in the city become worried.

"Counting the time, they have been in formation for more than two days, it stands to reason that even if they were not prepared before, they should have prepared a lot of offensive equipment now, if they are impatient, at most a day or two, they should attack us!"

Zhang Lu put on armor and held a sword, standing on the head of the city, looking at the outside of the city, outside the moat, the crowds were surging, the steps were stamping, and the momentum was overwhelming, even he had three points of fear.

The pastoral army is not an ordinary person, and Jingping under his command is even more elite in a hundred battles.

Above the imperial court, the heroes of the Kanto region who fought in the past could not raise their heads, and they were undefeated in the land of Guanzhong, and the name of the pastoral army was also famous all over the world.

And he has already learned that the defeat of the mediocre and the loss of Xicheng have given him a direct impression of the strength of the pastoral army.

With such an elite army, Chen Bing looked down at them outside the city, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

However, he was very calm and calm: "All departments are ready to defend!" ”

"No!"

The generals stood behind Zhang Lu and bowed and nodded.

The defense has not been prepared for a day or two, and with the strength of Nanzheng City, they are not afraid that someone can defeat this city.

"Seungpyeong!"

Zhang Lu's gaze fell on Yang Ang, looked at him silently, and said with a smile: "Are you still annoyed, why did you withdraw from Nanshui Township City?" ”

Yang Ang, the word Chengping.

He raised his head, looked at Zhang Lu's gaze, and arched his hand and said: "Master Shijun, I can hold Nanshui, as long as I drag Nanshui for ten days and half a month, they want to come to the city, they can only take a detour, then cut off their momentum, can force him to withdraw his troops, and now they have lost Nanshui, they have Nanshui Township City as the foundation, besiege the city for several months, there is no problem, the end general really doesn't understand!" ”

"I know you don't understand!"

Zhang Lu smiled slightly, and said: "But you will soon understand, I asked you to withdraw your troops, because you don't want to fight hard, my soldiers and horses have lost too much, and now the soldiers that can be used are only twenty or thirty thousand, except for Zhang Ying, only your subordinates are elite, for a Nanshui Township City, entanglement with them, I don't know!" ”

"But since then, isn't Nan Zheng in danger!" Yang Ang said.

"It's not us who are in danger!"

Zhang Lu shook his head, he looked down, and said coldly: "It's up to them, if they want to take me Hanzhong, they can't do it!" ”

"Master Shijun, the news has returned!"

At this time, Yan Pu walked up from the city and said: "Zhang Yingpo looked at the Shiquan Pavilion and burned all their grain reserves, and now it is the main road, the stone spring can be pressed when entered, and the Han River can be retreated, unless they withdraw their troops on a large scale, otherwise the grain road will not pass!" ”

"Is that true?"

Zhang Lu's eyes widened, although he was confident, but he did not guarantee that he would be able to fight this battle, and now that the battle was successful, it made him ecstatic.

"The secret letter sent back by Zhang Ying personally is absolutely right!"

Yan Pu said: "Since yesterday, the herdsmen have run out of food! ”

"Good!"

Zhang Lu laughed: "Zhang Ying did a good job!" ”

"Grain?"

"The grain route of the herdsmen has been cut off!"

"Great!"

"Then the army under their command will probably be forced to die by us under the city!"

"It's time for a counterattack!"

"Let them be so arrogant, in less than half a year, they have broken several cities in our Hanzhong, and we have no power to fight back, and now we finally have a chance to calculate the new hatred and old hatred!"

"When they run out of food and grass, we will kill them, and we must not let them escape!"

"They must be left behind!"

When the generals heard the conversation between Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, their hearts suddenly became clear, and after looking at each other, their expressions were overjoyed, they had already understood Zhang Lu's plan, and they became excited one by one, and the oppression in the past six months finally had a chance to vent, and they suddenly became indignant.

"No wonder Lord Shijun asked me to let go of Nanshui Township City, it turned out to lure the enemy deeper, Lord Shijun is clever, I don't know yet!"

Yang Ang's resentment was gone at this moment, and his eyes were shining.

"You don't have to be impatient!"

A smile also appeared on Zhang Lu's face, but after all, he is the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Dao, with an extraordinary bearing, not very old, but very steady: "We have to calm down and wait for the herdsmen to be in chaos, so that we can deal with it, and we must also guard against the herdsmen's dogs jumping over the wall and attacking my Nanzheng, if they break Nanzheng, our lives will not be guaranteed!" ”

"Master Shijun, don't worry!"

Yang Ang stepped forward and bowed, his words were firm, and he was extremely confident: "As long as a certain family is in the city for a day, any soldier under his thief's command doesn't want to set foot on the city for half a minute!" ”

He is good at guarding, but he doesn't say it, with such troops, reserves in the city, and the height and thickness of the city walls, he can't hold Nanzheng City, so he will be killed headlong.

"Chengping's ability, I naturally believe it!"

Zhang Lu nodded: "Send another scout out out of the city, and keep an eye on the movements of the herdsmen for me at all times." ”

"No!"

The generals nodded.

"This time, a certain family asked him to Mu Longtu's head to pay tribute to Yang Bai and Zhang Wei and their spirits in the sky!" Zhang Lu's gaze was down, and there was a resentful killing intent in his eyes.

…………

……

Nanshui Township City.

Several craftsmen with the army are piling up the sand table, Mu Jing personally pointed out the map to direct the craftsmen to do it, a three-dimensional sand table with a length of five zhang, a width of three zhang, and a height of about half a zhang has appeared a prototype.

"There should be a small river here, paved with blue mud!"

"The distance of this path is wrong, according to the comparison on the map, mark the distance, and it must be accurate enough, look at the numbers on the map, the difference is thousands of miles, it will directly affect the strategic deployment!"

"The surrounding mountains must be pinched out, high and low, must be consistent, and the mountain stream road can be marked, try to come out!"

“……”

Mu Jing handed over all the situation of the campaign deployment to Zhang Liao and them to deploy, so he naturally became idle, and after he was free, he thought about making a sand table, which was simple to make, but if he wanted to be comprehensive and accurate, it took effort.

"Lord, this is the topographic map sent back by the scouts from the east in the morning, from the northern suburbs of Nanzheng!" A pro-soldier report.

"Put it there!"

"No!"

"Lord, the southern survey, the terrain is complex, there are many branches of the Han River, and it will take time!" Someone else reported.

"Let them step up, I need to know that Nanzheng is a hundred miles in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the most clear terrain distribution is not wrong at all, and there is no confusion at all!"

"No!"

The sand table, which has been busy for a few days, has been able to make the pasture landscape preliminary in the afternoon, but there are still some detailed terrain that have not yet been marked.

But it's enough to deduce the battle situation.

Evening.

Mu Jing summoned Li Yan and more than a dozen strategists in the army.

In an army, the main general is the top, and in the first battalion, the captain is the main one, but there are many adjutant generals and strategists around them, who are giving advice to them, and whoever is the chief general will recruit the advisers' staff and strengthen their own think tank.

Mu Jing also has a think tank around him, which was basically based on Xi Zhicai and Hu Zhao before, but with the expansion of the scale of the Minghou Mansion, they are now in important positions.

The three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang's reasoning, and he still understands it.

One person's thinking can never be compared to the thinking of a group of people.

So if he wants to deduce, he also needs to use all the people who can use it, and now Li Yan is the main one, and he has summoned a lot of strategists around Zhang Liao, Huang Shao and others in the army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the big war is imminent, the Lord will be on the front line, we can't fall here, I want to know the changes on the battlefield, now a certain is the Nanzheng defenders, the strength is higher and said, in the number of 50,000, you and other soldiers of our army, for the attacking side, we try our best to deduce, the grand strategic deployment Wenyuan has already said to you, based on this, you can use it, you can use it!"

Mu Jing handed over the strategic deployment to Zhang Liao, but he must fully control the changes on the battlefield, although Zhang Liao is handsome, but after all, he is not the Zhang Wenyuan who will be famous in the future, he has to keep an eye on it.

This battle is a battle for the foundation, and there is no room for right or wrong.

"This topographic map is really well done!"

Li Yan's eyes fell on the sand table, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Nanzheng terrain, at a glance!" ”

"I've been doing it for days, but it's not for you to compliment!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Zhengfang, you are the deputy general under Wen Yuan, he should know some of Wen Yuan's deployment, you can talk about it!" ”

"No!"

Li Yan nodded, he stood up, and after walking around the sand table, he checked a trace of thought in his heart: "General Zhang Liao intends to plan and lead the enemy to attack, so he will definitely not attack the city!" ”

"But if you want to lure the enemy to attack, how can it be so easy, he must have a plan!"

"Now it is deployed in secret, only the Lord will know!"

"Let me stand in the position of General Zhang Liao, based on the success of his calculations, and deduce that he will not only make moves on grain and grass, but also tempt the attention of the city here, if the city attacks, then ......"

"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army is divided into two parts, on the left and right, on the left side by Hanshui, and on the right side is the northern suburbs, in fact, it is encircled!"

"The main force of Jingping's Second Army is the fifth battalion, the fifth battalion has always been at the forefront, it is the battalion that lures the enemy, once it attacks in the city, retreat ten miles, it can form a half-arc shaped encirclement!"

“……”

Li Yan said very carefully, constantly deducing Zhang Liao's deployment.

"If I pursue the fifth battalion and send a main force along the Han River, and the two roads go out together, how can you encircle our army!" Mu Jing is now standing in the position of Nan Zheng Cheng to deduce, and said with a smile.

"What's so hard about that!"

One person stood up, pointed to the sand table and said: "Although Hanshui can come out, but the landing is not to be found, they want to board the ferry and attack our army, they can only be in these two directions, one is Baishuidu, the other is Beilinkou, pinch the position of the two, Hanshuizhi is no longer worried!" ”

This is a scribe next to Huang Shao of the Yellow Turban Army, a scholar, good at the art of war, Huang Shao was originally in order to expand the southern army, when he recruited the generals of Guanzhong, he was recruited and under the tent, and later the Guanzhong army mutinied, most of the Guanzhong soldiers escaped, but he stayed.

Han Zhen, Han Feiyang, a scholar from a cold family, was also a student of Hongdumen School back then.

"Fei Yang is to the point!"

Mu Jing smiled, he was also familiar with this young scholar, after all, forcibly recruiting Guanzhong soldiers was unpopular, Guanzhong soldiers mutinied and deserted, that was normal, and there were very few left, this Han Zhen, there were a few brushes.

"The lord has a good reputation!" Han Zhen said modestly.

"Okay, as you said, let you pinch the road to the shore of the Han River, I will give up the Han River, but it is not easy for you to surround me!" Mu Jing pointed to the position in front and back of the city wall: "The half-arc encirclement, there is always a gap, the gap is just the city wall, I can attack, pay careful attention to the changes in the battlefield, and retreat into the city wall!" ”

"In this battle, as long as I don't stay more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, I will already be invincible!"

Mu Jing said strongly.

"Invincible?"

A Lang Lang's voice sounded: "The lord is too confident in them, just with their Hanzhong army, they also want to be undefeated, it is impossible!" ”

"Wenyuan?"

Mu Jing looked up and saw that the person who came in was Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao would come back from the front line every night and report the battle situation once, so that Mu Jing direction, under their deduction, the time passed quickly, and it was already dark outside.

"It's a great place!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said: "When it comes to the deployment of troops for the siege of Nanzheng, now there is no one around you, strategic customization, and troop distribution, all of which you have to deal with with single-handedly, you attack, I defend, and I will be Zhang Lu once, see if you can break my Nanzheng wall!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Lu nodded, he looked at the sand table, and thought in his heart: "Lord, why don't we add some bets!" ”

"Who do you have your eye on next to someone?" Mu Jing said angrily.

In the past few days, Zhang Lu has snatched the sword of Shang Fang, this Shang Fang sword was given to him by himself, he is not welcome, even Zhang Huo, the general of the Divine Guard, was dug up by him, and the Divine Guard Army is now under the command of Zhang Ning.

"The details of the establishment of this sand table are exactly what our army uses to arrange the strategy, I don't know if the lord is willing to cut his love!"

"How dare you speak!"

Mu Jing said angrily: "Do you know how much effort I put into building this sand table!" ”

"Could it be that the lord doesn't have the confidence to win so!" Zhang Liaoji.

"Okay, you Zhang Wenyuan, you really made you rampant!"

Mu Jing directly hit the scheme: "I bet!" ”

He stood up and pushed his hand: "You have made concessions, it is impressive, in this battle, I will deduce with Zhang Wenyuan, and you will decide the outcome of the battle!" ”

"No!"

The crowd moved out of the way.

Mu Jing and Zhang Liao are separated on both sides, the red flag is in charge of Mu Jing, the blue flag is in charge of Zhang Liao, a flag is a song, the strength is subject to the flag, the flag is inserted, the flag is pulled out, on this big sand table, the two began to play.

"The news of Shiquan must have gone back, I will add a fire, the camp tent outside the city, the water is on fire, are you tempted?"

"Only by being patient can we win the war, and I will not move!"

"Very good, I don't expect you to move easily, but at this time, I continued to move, and suddenly retreated ten miles, the camp tent did not move, but the soldiers and horses were empty, but you are worried?"

"Go out and explore the surroundings!"

"What if you find the camp empty?" Zhang Liao added a fire and took out the banner of the troops of the camp he had arranged.

"Send troops to feint, beware of temptation!"

"What if I retreat another ten miles and give up Nanshui Township?"

"Bite to death!"
