Chapter 407: Less Wins More

With the great victory of Shiyang's counterattack, the Wei army was full of morale from top to bottom, but before Wen Ping could breathe, a letterhead was suddenly sent to Shiyang's case.

Wen Ping hurriedly looked at it, but he was suddenly shocked.

It turned out that just five days ago, when the offensive and defensive battle of Shiyang was in the midst of a fierce battle, his right-hand man had a sharp decline in morale due to the lack of food in the army, and he had no choice but to gather his troops to open the city to face the battle.

Wu Jie prepared to defeat the Han army in order to unite his own army.

However, unexpectedly, the Han general Guan Ping had already prepared outside Shangchang City, and the Wei army suffered a strong offensive as soon as it came out.

Although the Han army only has a scale of more than 2,000 people, because everyone is heavily armored and armed with a Mo knife, fighting in a formation is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Almost in less than half an hour, the Wei army was killed to the point of blood, frightened and collapsed, and Wu Jie was also beheaded by Guan Suo.

"Unidentified weapon?"

Looking at the unknown Modao described in the battle report, Wen Ping couldn't help but fall into contemplation for a while, and after a while, he muttered: "How strong is Guan Ping's army, and how strong can it defeat our army with less victory?" ”

"And it's good, why is Shangchang short of food?"

A series of questions suddenly gathered in Wen Ping's mind, which made him puzzled.

As early as when the army sent to Shiyang, he had strictly ordered that the logistics must be supplied to Shangchang at any time, and the city must not be allowed to fall into a situation of running out of food.

But why did the food shortages happen?

Secondly, there are more than 3,000 troops stationed in Shangchang, and they are also the sergeants who have been personally trained by themselves for more than ten years, so they are naturally strong in terms of combat power, how can they be easily defeated by the Han army?

Wu Jie is not incompetent, and if he is really incompetent, he will not be able to get the respect of civil employment.

In the middle of the ring, Wen Ping's eyes were sharp, he looked at the sergeant who sent the letter in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "What is going on, why is Shangchangcheng falling into a food shortage?" ”

The sergeant's body was covered with wounds, and his armor was also in tatters, apparently the surviving sergeants under Wu Jie's command.

Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "General Wen, according to General Wu's analysis at the beginning, it was bandits and other bandit forces in the mountains who plundered grain and grass in the middle of the road. ”

"Bandits?"

"The general has been stationed in Jiangxia for more than ten years, and the military authority has long been all over the Quartet, where are the bandits afraid to provoke the general?"

When these words came out, Wen Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But once it happened, there is no point in pursuing the past.

……

After Wen Ping re-strengthened the defense of Shiyang City and sent a first army to be stationed here to strictly guard against the Wu army that was resting in the waters of Xiakou, he led his headquarters to rush to Anlu Town.

He didn't dare to delay in the slightest now.

Now that Wu Jie is dead in battle and Shangchang is lost, there will be no danger on the way to Anlu, and it will be a land of flat rivers.

If the Han army suddenly attacked at this time, would the empty An Luyan be able to resist?

And the loss of Shangchang also disrupted the overall deployment of Wenpin.

He originally wanted to divide his troops to refuse, and stick to it.

After the main forces of their own side gathered, they launched a counterattack against both sides of Shu and Wu.

But at this time, the slightest news from his own reinforcements had not come, and Shangchang was lost.

……

Shangchang City.

The government office.

At this moment, when Wen Ping was panicking and hurriedly led the crowd to Anlu, Guan Ping held a banquet in the military palace to entertain the generals and schools, and rewarded the soldiers who fought in blood.

As for quickly raising troops to seize Anlu, Guan Ping didn't think about it.

If Anlu is captured, then Wen Ping will have to retreat in defeat.

In this way, why did the Wei army send troops to fight for it continuously?

Guan Ping's plan was to attract the main force of the Wei army to come in person.

After the feast was over, and everyone had left one by one, before the servants could come to clean up the leftovers, a young woman in a black robe with a grim face swept over her waist like a ghost.

After arriving in front of Guan Ping, the woman slowly lifted her veil.

The real face is revealed!

Then, the woman bowed her hand and bowed: "Major General, everything has been completely done." ”

"Yangtao, are you sure?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping's expression suddenly became serious, and said: "Do you know that this matter will be related to the way of fighting in the future, if this move is accidentally known by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Please rest assured that the Major General."

"After the deed was accomplished, I beheaded several thieves in front of the thieves and released a message of shock, if they dare to confess the mastermind, they will quietly disappear from the world."

"The thieves have already witnessed the assassination technique of the secret guards, and now they are all trembling, and I have ordered them to disperse the gold and silver treasures in the village."

"At this time, Wen Ping has no way to send troops to the expedition and learn the truth."

After a few words, Guan Ping nodded with satisfaction.

Secret Guard, in the past three years, he set out to imitate an assassination organization formed by the later Ming Jinyi Guard.

It's not a spy organization, and Guan Ping doesn't think so.

The formation of the secret guard is uneven, there are the most evil people, there are also depressed scholars, and there are also criminal merchants.

Although their identities are different, they are all people with good backgrounds, and before joining the Dark Guard, they will first undergo several months of brainwashing training before they can gradually appoint the Core Secret of the Secret Guard.

And the commander of the dark guard is Yang Tao, who was previously tricked by the Wu people into assassinating Guan Ping.

Since Guan Ping's subordinates showed mercy and did not execute her, but arranged for his sister Guan Feng to accompany him to inspect the customs and customs of Jingxiang counties, Yang Tao's impression of Guan Ping in his heart has changed greatly and he has gradually admired him!

And this time, the thieves in the mountains robbed the grain, causing Shangchang to run off the grain, which came from Guan Ping's planning and the hands of the secret guards.

Under the dispatch of the secret guards led by Yang Tao, the lives of the bandit leaders surrounded by the mountains were controlled by the secret guards, and they had to obey the orders when their lives were at stake, and led the people to bravely garrison on the main passage from Anlu to Shangchang, plundering grain and grass.

This led to the fact that Wu Jie could not get half a grain of food in half a month, and he had no choice but to go out of the city and be completely annihilated.

However, because the means of this matter are not very glorious, Guan Ping is worried that after this matter is exposed, in the future, Wei and Wu will use their own ways to treat them and increase their trouble.

Therefore, Guan Ping gave Yang Tao a strict order in advance, and after the matter was completed, he must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, kill the leaders of the groups of thieves and disperse the bandits, so that the Wei army could not get the slightest possibility of the truth.

As for killing the thieves completely, Guan Ping didn't think about it, because the action was too big, and the purpose was extremely obvious, and it was easy to see the clues if he had the intention to investigate.

When the matter was settled, Guan Ping asked the rest of the questions and said, "How is the progress of the invasion of the enemy army?" ”

"Major General Qiyu, there have been secret guards in Jiangdong Guild County who have successfully infiltrated, and now they are gradually infiltrating the center of Jianye, and it is estimated that it will take some time."

After that, her face was not good-looking, and she said truthfully: "But on the Wei army's side, the situation is not optimistic!" ”

"I infiltrated several times before, but I was all spied on by Jia Xu, and when the Wei people became alert, it became extremely difficult for the secret guards to infiltrate, after Jia Xu's death in August this year, I have arranged to infiltrate again, but I don't know if it can be successful."

When these words fell, Guan Ping nodded slowly.

"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, there are many people in the Wei State who are resourceful, and it is indeed not to be underestimated, remember to be careful when infiltrating, do not expose the secrets of the secret guard, and even if you sacrifice some members at a critical time, you must not expose our intentions."

"Subordinates obey!"

When these words fell, Guan Ping's complexion became more and more cold, and then he said calmly: "However, although Jia Xu has passed away, you can't relax your vigilance anymore, there is now a person in the Wei State who has been in a high position with the merit of supporting Cao Pi." ”

"This person's yin is no less than Jia Xu, if you meet this person when arranging everything, don't underestimate him!"

Seeing that Guan Ping said so solemnly, Yang Tao's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Sima Yi."

"Sima Yi?"

"My subordinates have made a note of it."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy, and I'll contact you if I need anything."

After saying that, Yang Tao put on the veil again, and blinked away like a ghost again, as if nothing had happened.
