The strength of the Montenegrin army is really not weak, even after Yuan Shao's constant blows, there are still more than 40,000 strong men mobilized by Zhang Yan to fight, and there are almost 200,000 people in the Montenegrin Provinces, especially what Wang Hou covets, more than 8,000 cavalry!

It's just that the military discipline of this bandit army is really spicy!

After Cao Cao dispatched Zhang Yanbu to Wang Hou, he was changed to supply food by the Qingzhou army, this expedition, Wang Hou was a person who sent twenty dried steamed buns, and it was expected to arrive in Nanpi City lightly within three days, so that Yuan Tan had no chance to organize more men and horses to fight back, and then execute the decapitation operation, and in one fell swoop to eliminate his last nest Nanpi.

As long as Yuan Tan's main force was defeated, he temporarily pulled those Yuan Shang's subordinates and had to immediately disperse.

Unfortunately, plans never change anytime soon!

This is the fifth day of the expedition.

This time there was no reserve force to accompany them, and the army did not carry many supplies, in addition to food, the wax cloth marching bag also carried a set of bedding, not even a tent, and last night caught up with a heavy snow sparsely drifted down, facing the southwest corner of Nanpi City on the crane mountain, a simple survival shed covered with wood and straw was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The mountain wind blew the wind and snow, the knives hung on their faces, and the soldiers of the Rizhao Brigade were wrapped in compacted cotton thin quilts, and several people huddled together and shrunk inside. Under the marching pot on the outer edge of the shed, the flickering flames were also bright and dark in the snowflakes, but except for the clanging sound of snowflakes falling and pots and pans clinking from time to time, the whole hillside was as silent as a cemetery.

Wang Hou himself didn't speak, holding a telescope and looking at the foot of the mountain with a gloomy face.

For a war, an hour is enough to change the situation, not to mention two full days, when the army marched to Wuyi, Yuan Tan had already noticed that the originally hasty one-day preparation time became three days, and he also made full use of it, and under the telescope, another army marched from the mountain road under the foot with the banner of Li Zi, and merged into the tents and sheds, densely packed with Yuan Tan's camp.

I am afraid that Yuan Tan's troops have increased from less than 10,000 in the original plan to more than 20,000 now.

Just on the edge of this newly arrived army, there were still Yuan Jun holding antlers tied with sharp branches to block the intersection, and there were people piling trenches with snow, Nanpi City was too small to rely on, and Yuan Tan was unwilling to give up his mobility ability and was trapped in the city, so he planned to fight Cao Jun outside the city.

Three days was enough time for him to build the fortifications outside the city.

Watching the troops under his feet enter the camp leisurely, Wang Hou really put down the binoculars with an uncomfortable face, if Zhang Liao's more than 3,000 cavalry regiments were not transferred, in front of Wang Hou, he would have drawn infantry from nearby and filled the military town, it would be like lighting candles in the pit and looking for death! But now, he has eighty of his own personal soldiers and knights, and many of them are heavy infantry, and he has to reserve his physical strength to prepare for the siege, so Wang Hou has to give up the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements.

Fortunately, he has not gained nothing in the past two days, a guy with a beard, wearing a tattered yellow military uniform, and more sloppy than more than a month before, couldn't help but slightly cover his stomach and stood behind Wang Hou.

The giant deer man who played Ling Lingqi before the Battle of Hanjiaqiao and broke into Cao Ying's camp alone, Li Fu Li, was the master of the book.

At this time, this guy also completely lost the courage and toughness when he broke into Cao Ying's camp alone, sloppy beard, a decadent appearance, a low fist behind Wang Hou's back, and then knelt on the ground, weakly pleased.

"Meet ......, meet Qingzhou Mu!"

Now he knew what kind of ruthless character this lazy and hangy young minister in front of him was a young minister who didn't have the momentum of the warriors.

"Get up, Master Li! I said before that if you can't get along with Yuan Shang, you can come to me! Honshu Pastoral Talk Counts! It's just that in this wilderness, there is really nothing to entertain in this state, so I will first grieve the master for a few days, and then I will kill Yuan Tan, return to Qingzhou, and then appoint! ”

Still didn't put down the binoculars, didn't even turn his head, stared at the snowflakes in front of him, Nanpi City, Wang Hou said indifferently.

"State pastor, the villain has a big gift, I hope to give it to the state pastor!"

This Li Fu is not only bold, but also not low IQ, looking at Wang Hou's back standing on the snow wall, he did not go down, but kowtowed again.

"This time the villain came, and he also brought a secret letter from Jianyi Zhonglang to Tao Sheng, and Tao Sheng is willing to lead his troops to attach to the state pastor!"

"Oh? Tao Sheng? Which one guards the left camp gate? ”

These words made Wang Hou finally a little interested, turned around, and stretched out his hand to point down the mountain, but before Li Fu's expression was also a little high-spirited, Wang Hou looked at it again, shook his head with a mysterious smile on his face, and said with a smile that pretended to be forced.

"Master Li, given how you behaved in the camp last time! I can't believe you! ”

"Since the state pastor doesn't believe me! Why did you order you to vote? ”

"It's different, I don't believe you on the Yuan clan in Hebei, but your talent can still be used on others, Jizhou is broken, and the state is down, Youzhou is difficult to support alone, Benzhou Muda can wait for your old master to be completely destroyed, and then it is not too late to enable you!"

Seeing Wang Hou's indifferent appearance, the angry Li Fu's cheeks couldn't help but bulge, but it was worthy of Wang Hou's favored male silver, this old guy was not shaken out by Wang Hou's two words, and after taking two breaths of cool air, he hugged his fist again.

"Dare to ask Zhou Mu, why did Ji Ling, a fierce general in Huainan, fall into the grass after the Yuan Highway was destroyed, and not go north to join Benchugong?"

The old boy compared Yuan Shu with Yuan Shao at the beginning, and came to tell Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan Fei all the way! But I have to sigh, the Yuan family is so powerful, a family of two masters, in the troubled times have created a world, if the two of them join forces, I am afraid that the world may really be his Yuan's.

However, it is a pity that history is not possible, and just like Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan who competed for the throne, it is also impossible for the older generation of Yuan brothers to join forces.

"But Master Li, didn't you still defect to Yuan Tan!"

"Zhongcheng Lei Bai summoned the old department under the banner of the Yuan family, and after I arrived, I found out that it was Yuan Tan! Besides, as soon as the prince arrived, Li abandoned Yuan Tan to defect to the prince, and brought a meeting gift, isn't it sincere? ”

Listening to Li Fu's excited shouting, Wang Hougang wanted to speak, but at the bottom of the hill, the pro-guard team led Wang Congge to suddenly run up excitedly and quickly.

"Governor! Zhang Yan ......, Zhang Yan's house has finally arrived! ”

"Oh?"

To tell the truth, at the first time, Wang Hou's heart was straight and crooked, but after a long time in this era, he learned the basic skill of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and suddenly his face was full of smiles, and Wang Hou shook his head with a smile.

"I didn't drop the Tao for nothing, that's right! Does he want Nanpi City, or Hejian County? But his wishes could not be fulfilled by the state pastor! My capital chips have also arrived, come to someone, take Master Li to read the male soldiers, Benzhou Mu is looking forward to it, after Mr. Li comes back, talk to me again! ”。

In an instant, Li Fu's sloppy old face full of stubble couldn't help but turn white, stood up and stopped making a sound, silently bowed to Wang Hou, and hurried out again.

Looking at his departing back, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but hang a rich smile, the feeling of pretending to be forced was really fun!
