"Kill~"

Anyi, the Ming army has been storming for more than a day, and it looks crumbling but still holding on.

"Solid!"

"The last general!"

Looking at Zhang Fei, whose eyes were full of anger, Chen Deng didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately said: "General, the fact that Cao Jun can block our repeated onslaught shows that he has already been prepared. ”

"It's not you yet, if you hadn't stopped the general, how would you have given Cao Jun time to prepare?"

Zhang Fei said angrily, but the anger in his eyes was mostly gone.

Chen Deng chuckled lightly and said: "Although the Cao army is prepared, most of the military strength has been transferred to Yanzhou to fight a decisive battle with the army led by the Ming Gongsuo. Moreover, in the past two days, the defenders of Anyi have transferred a lot of defenders from Hedong to guard Anyi, and I am afraid that there are not many Cao troops in other places. ”

"You mean that we are not in a hurry to attack Anyi now, but divide our forces to take other cities first and isolate Anyi?" Zhang Fei thought for a while and said.

Chen Deng said indifferently: "Yes and no." ”

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What do you mean yes and no?" Yes is yes, no is no! ”

"Why do we have to divide our forces when the other cities are no longer a concern? Wouldn't it be better to wipe out all the Cao troops in Anyi in World War I? At that time, the other cities in Hedong have lost their courage, even if they send junior and junior colonels to them, they can surrender without a fight! ”

Chen Deng said slowly: "Although you don't need to divide the troops, you can pretend to divide the troops. I believe that as long as the general of Anyi sees us dividing the troops, he will be anxious in his heart, even if he does not divide the troops to save each other, the morale of the army will be weakened, so if the general attacks on three sides and ambushes the troops and horses on the other side, he will be able to destroy them all! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei thought about it, and felt reasonable, so he agreed.

"Okay, just according to the words of the military advisor."

By noon, Anyi was still in the hands of Cao Jun, and Zhang Fei ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The Ming army retreated, and the Cao army in Anyi was secretly happy. Suddenly......

"Look, what is the Ming army going to do?"

"yes, how did they go north and west?"

"Isn't it supposed to go east?"

Not only the soldiers in the army, but the leading general was also stunned, and said in a low voice: "Huh? They're going to ......"

Suddenly, the general's face changed, and he ordered the deputy general to guard the city, walked down the city wall quickly, and ran to the county guard's mansion.

"Lord Gunjo, something is wrong!"

The county guard was eating, and when he heard someone running over, his face sank at first, and then he reacted that it was the voice of his subordinate general, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Did the Ming army enter the city? ”

Seeing this, the county guard trembled a little, he was sent here in the past two years, but he specifically inquired about a lot of news about the Ming army, and it can be said that he knows the Ming army better than most of Cao Cao's subordinates. When the news of the Ming army's killing came two days ago, he almost ran away, but at the suggestion of the general, he stabilized his mind and stayed for the time being.

Yesterday, when the Ming army killed under the city, the county guard was directly frightened and paralyzed to the ground, that is, yesterday the Ming army was blocked by the partial generals and did not enter the city, so today it will sit in the county guard's mansion and dine. As for what to cheer on the city wall or something, I would never dare.

I'm really scared of death!

Seeing the appearance of the county guard, the general was full of contempt, but the official was crushed to death, so he could only quickly explain: "No, it was the Ming army that suddenly divided the troops." ”

"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not!"

The county guard didn't care about the second half of the sentence at all, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stood up tremblingly, and only when he sat back on the chair did he react, and then asked, "Divide the troops?" What is the meaning? ”

At this time, the general had already stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and explained: "The last general suspected that the Ming army could not attack Anyi for a long time, and guessed that we had transferred troops from the surrounding cities, so they divided their troops to other cities to isolate Anyi. ”

"Huh?"

The county guard was shocked and said, "That'...... This, this...... How, how, how? ”

The general shook his head and said, "There is no way, I can only wait for reinforcements." As long as the governor comes quickly enough, then we can still keep Anyi. ”

"That'...... That ...... "652 Literature Network."

The county guard hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we withdraw first?" Withdraw to Hebei, or Pusaka, and wait until the reinforcements from the state pastor arrive? ”

"It's definitely not okay to withdraw now!"

The partial general shook his head and broke the extravagant hope in his heart, and said: "There are many cavalry troops in the Ming army, if we retreat now, we will definitely be pursued and killed by them, and it is difficult to resist." ”

"Alright then!"

The county guard smashed his mouth twice, as if he had extinguished the idea of retreating, and said, "Then so be it!" But you must guard it, and you must not let a single Ming army run into the city. ”

Then, without waiting for the general to reply, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you better hurry up and guard, if the Ming army suddenly kills at this time, if you are not there, the county guard is not at ease." ”

"Yes!"

The general responded helplessly, and then retreated, but his heart was very unbeautiful. But then he was in no mood to think about this, and his attention turned to the matter of the division of troops in the Ming army. For some reason, after he finished analyzing with the county guard, his heart was always heavy, as if there was something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what was wrong.

This is precisely what Chen Deng is so good at!

Let's talk about Hongnong, the county guard and the state pastor in the mouth of the partial general-

Zhang Zhi!

Zhang Zhi was ordered by Cao Cao to be the lieutenant of Si Li, and he was in charge of Si Li's important affairs, and everyone usually called him the state pastor.

Originally, although Hongnong was the county governor of Hongnong County, it was almost meaningless to be the state governor of Si Li, but after all, Si Li still had part of the territory in the hands of Han Sui and Ma Teng, and Cao Cao secretly instructed him to release goodwill to avoid being restrained by these two people when he started a war with Gongsun Du, so he took Hongnong as the state governor.

It's just that what Zhang Zhi didn't expect was that the Ming army actually attacked Hangu and cut off his connection with Guanwai. Zhang Zhi hurriedly summoned his subordinate generals to discuss the matter of Hangu.

"My lord, Hangu is a very important matter, and it must be recaptured, otherwise once the Ming Duke and the Prime Minister stop fighting, we will be like a turtle in an urn, a lamb to be slaughtered, and we can only fight with the Ming army in isolation, and finally be killed or captured."

"That's right, what the king said is very true! My lord, the Ming army is plotting to capture Hangu, but I haven't heard the slightest rumor before, and there are not many soldiers and horses who want to come, maybe there are only one or two thousand, if you deal with it in time, you may be able to recapture it. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Zhi hesitated, Cao Cao had already transferred half of the soldiers and horses in the Sili area before, and it was not easy to raise troops to recapture Hangu at this time, but what everyone said was not unreasonable. Hangu Pass was captured, and the contact with the outside of the pass was much slower, and the only way to go around Wuguan was to go.

"Don't worry, adults!"

Zhang Zhi's confidant, Wang Beijia explained: "As the lord said, the Ming army is only a few men and horses, even if it relies on the benefits of Xiongguan, but if the adult repairs a letter to Gucheng, and orders it to attack Hangu with the adult inside and outside, it will not be necessary to attack the fortifications on a large scale, but only to besiege but not attack, and then it can be surrendered without a fight." ”

Zhang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, the materials in the Hangu Pass were replenished every six months, and the last time, there was another half a month for half a year, that is to say, there were not many materials in the pass, and the soldiers who fled back said that the materials were burned, and at this time they should be even more poor. And the Ming army came from afar, and it was impossible to carry much material.

"Okay, this will repair a letter and send it to Gucheng immediately, and it must be completed before the Ming army and the prime minister stop fighting."

"Yes, sir."

The letter was sent by the party itself, and the letter of help from the Hedong county guard arrived at Hongnong.

Zhang Zhi was shocked and gathered everyone under his command again.

Everyone rushed to the scene, and when they heard what Zhang Zhi said, they were all shocked. Especially when he drove away, he was even more shocked and said: "My lord, the Ming Duke has always planned and then moved, and now that the Ming army is coming, it must be fully prepared, ah, it's not good......"

"What's wrong?" When Zhang Zhi heard the cry of his henchman, he couldn't help but tremble and asked urgently.

"I don't know why, I always feel that Ming Gong's march into Yanzhou is just a feint, and the main purpose is for Si Li! It's a plan to strike at the west! ”

"What?"

Zhang Zhi was shocked, suddenly stood up, and said, "How sure are you?" If you are not sure, don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will reach the ears of the prime minister when the time comes, and you and I can't afford to bear it! ”

"Although the certainty is not big, there are still five or six percent."

Wang Beijia's face was calm, and he said: "It's not that Ling is arrogant, but in fact, once this is a fact, the adults and Ling can't bear the consequences. Therefore, it is better for adults to think that the prime minister of the matter as it is, and the wisdom of the prime minister and the military advisors can see through the key points and make correct judgments. ”

Zhang Zhi suddenly realized, so he responded: "This is the case!" ”

Then the voice changed, and he said: "But the situation in Anyi is very urgent, how to deal with it?" ”

Wang Beijia pondered for a while and said, "If what Ling said comes true, then the top priority is not to raise troops to support, but to protect Hongnong." Therefore, it is better for the adults to send people to Shaanxi County, Huxian and other places to strengthen vigilance and prevent the Ming army from crossing the river to attack. ”

Zhang Zhi understood and nodded in response.
