When Tang Zheng arrived at the county office, Gongsun Zan had not yet arrived, and Jiang County Ling Jiang Chen looked at Tang Zheng who came in a hurry and asked, "Tang Duwei, what happened?" Came in such a hurry. ”

"Lord Jiang, hasn't Brother Gongsun arrived yet?" Tang Zheng asked towards Jiang Chen.

"Lord Gongsun hasn't been here for the past few days, what's wrong, is there something big?" Jiang Chen asked Tang Zheng.

"Wuhuan and Zhang Chun have each gathered an army of 100,000 and have arrived at Feiru."

"Ahh Hearing Tang Zheng's answer, Jiang Chen's face turned white with fright, a total of 200,000 troops, although I don't know how much water there is, but it sounds quite scary, now Xu Wu is Tang Zheng's 6,200 people plus Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 cavalry, Xu Wu himself has one or two hundred fast catchers and auxiliaries, which is not enough for a fraction of others.

"Why didn't I get the news?" Jiang Chen said, he was worried that Tang Zheng had made a mistake.

"This has been confirmed time and again, and the enemy has already stationed troops in Feiru." Tang Zheng said to Jiang Chen. At this time, Gongsun Zhan also arrived with himself, Zhao Yun and the other three, and when he saw Tang Zheng, he said to Tang Zheng: "Brother Tang got the news?"

"Yes, Brother Gongsun, you know." Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "Let's go in and discuss how to deal with it." After speaking, he led the three of them and Tang Zheng and Jiang Chen and his party to the hall.

"Brother Gongsun, Lord Jiang, I don't know what the enemy's specific target is, I don't know if they will join forces to attack a certain target together, or divide their troops to attack Tuyin and Xu Wu at the same time. So we have to prepare for the worst now, defending Tu Yin and Xu Wu at the same time. Tang Zheng said to everyone in the room.

"What Brother Tang said is that I don't know if the enemy is now joining forces or dividing his troops to attack Xu Wu and Tu Yin at the same time, what we have to do now is to make preparations with both hands at the same time, and ensure that Xu Wu also guarantees Tu Yin on the premise of ensuring Xu Wu." Gongsun Chan said.

"I estimate that the enemy is the most likely to divide his troops, the enemy has a total of 200,000, I estimate that they will each lead their own men and horses to attack Xu Wuhe Tuyuan, I am not very worried about the mound, there is a mountain city to guard the front, with the walls of Rinshan City, it is estimated that the enemy is helpless. However, how can Xu Wu resist this is a difficult problem, there are too few men and horses under our command, plus the three thousand cavalry of Brother Gongsun, we are less than 10,000 people, and we have to defend on both sides, this is a difficult problem. Tang Zheng said.

"Well, too, we can't just take care of Xu Wu and give up the mound, even if the mound has Rinshan City, but we also need people to defend it, otherwise Brother Tang, now we don't know how the enemy will deploy and fight, you first take people to the mountain to prepare for the precaution. When the enemy's offensive route is determined, we will make plans. Gongsun Chan also felt that what Tang Zheng said made some sense, and he also put forward his own ideas.

"Now we have 10,000 people, if Brother Tang leaves again, how to defend the city with the 3,000 cavalry of Lord Gongsun." At this time, Jiang Chen spoke.

"What Lord Jiang said is also true, now we have a total of less than 10,000 people, if I am leading the troops to go how to defend the 3,000 cavalry of Brother Gongsun, I think so, I will let the eldest brother lead 1,200 people back to the mountain, and then transfer the endless 800 cavalry back to the mountain. With the city wall of the mountain, these people should be enough, and the rest of us will wait until the enemy's combat deployment is determined before making plans, you see how it goes. Tang Zheng said to everyone.

Gongsun Chan and Jiang Chen had no better way, so they had to do it according to Tang Zheng's words first. Tang Zheng turned to Cheng Pu and said: "Eldest brother, you lead the camp back to defend the mountain, I will send someone to transfer the endless eight hundred horsemen back to the mountain, plus Cheng Hu who stayed in the mountain, you have a total of 3,000 men and horses, with the city wall of the mountain, I think it should not be much of a problem to defend the mound." ”

"No, my subordinates will do it." Cheng Pu clenched his fists and said yes, then turned around and went down to prepare to go back to the mountain. Gongsun Zan saw that Tang Zheng had also made arrangements, so he spoke: "Since Brother Tang has already arranged the affairs of the mountain, let's discuss how to defend Xu Wu, my subordinates are all cavalry, and I think everyone knows that cavalry is not helpful for defending the city, so I suggest that Brother Tang defend the city, and we will follow his brother's arrangement." Brother Tang, what do you think? Gongsun Chan said to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng hurriedly said: "This is not good, the kid has only experienced a few wars, how much ability he has, it is safer for the eldest brother to do the defense, the eldest brother of Gongsun has experienced many more battle formations than the younger brother, and the ability of the eldest brother of Gongsun is not comparable to the younger brother, and we still listen to the eldest brother Gongsun in terms of defense." ”

"Brother Tang, don't be modest, these battles against the Yellow Turban thieves Brother Tang didn't also fight well, besides, didn't I just say it, our cavalry is only suitable for field combat, and defense is really not good, Brother Tang, don't be modest." Gongsun Chan said to Tang Zheng, and the rest of the people saw that what Gongsun Chan said did not seem to be hypocritical and polite, so Jiang Chen opened his mouth and said: "What the Captain said is, Brother Tang, don't be modest, since the Captain said that you can do it, you will arrange the defense." The others also opened their mouths to persuade Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng had no choice but to agree when he saw this.

After the discussion, Gongsun Zhan and Tang Zheng each returned to the camp to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Childe, I see that this Gongsun Chan is not well-intentioned, knowing that the enemy has 200,000 people but wants you to command the defense, I think he is afraid that after the city is broken, the above will blame you so that you can take the blame." On the way back to the camp, Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't say that in the future, if there is something we understand. I know what Gongsun Chan is thinking, although commanding and defending is a hot potato, but as long as Xu Wu's safety is ensured, this is also a great achievement, and there are pros and cons. That's the kind of good thing that has the best of both worlds. Well, when you go back, you have people pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and report anything immediately. Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao said yes. The two stopped talking, and accelerated their speed and ran in the direction of the barracks, and the people who followed Tang Zheng and Zhang Chao saw Tang Zheng and they sped up their horses, and they also increased their speed to chase after the two.

Returning to the barracks, Tang Zheng instructed everyone: "During this time, we will strengthen the inventory of the people entering and leaving, and only allow people to enter but not to leave." At the same time, closely monitor those Hu people who come in and out, I suspect that the enemy has sent spies in, don't make a noise about this matter first, Zhang Chao, you will arrange it. Remember not to make a secret visit to everything, and don't startle any movement. And they all said yes.

Then Tang Zheng said: "The training of the soldiers cannot be interrupted, tell everyone to sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime." During this time, logistics increased the supply of soldiers, and the army workshops stepped up the production of fire oil bottles. Usually, I also let the soldiers be more familiar with the oil bottles, so as not to be like the last time I fought with Deng Mao, how many brothers caused the oil bottles to explode in my hands because of improper operation, I don't want such a thing to happen in the future. With Tang Zheng's arrangement, everyone also received their orders.

After arranging everyone, Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao: "Big brother, did they set off?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, Brother Cheng, they are all ready, and they are sorting out the armor and weapons for loading."

"Well, you go and call the eldest brother, I have something to tell him."

"Yes, Childe, I'll go and invite Brother Cheng." Zhang Chao went out after speaking. After a while, Cheng Pu came to Tang Zheng's camp.

"I heard Zhang Chao say that you have something to look for me?" Cheng Pu came in and asked Tang Zheng.

"Big brother, I'll hand it over to you this time, no matter what, we have to ensure that we can't afford to lose in the mountain, if there is any accident, send someone to report it immediately, and I will rush back in time."

"Brother Xian, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the mountain, and besides, this time we went back and brought a thousand bottles of oil and oil, which is enough to ensure that the mountain is foolproof."

"Big brother, don't take it lightly, the mountain is our foundation, so when you leave, you will go and get a thousand oil bottles, remember that you can only defend the city, don't rush to send troops, we still don't have enough manpower now, when the war here is over, I think we should recruit another group of people."

"It's really time to recruit another group of people, there are more than 3,000 brothers who came out with us this time and can't go back, I don't know how many brothers can't go back after this battle. Virtuous brother must take care of himself. ”

"Okay, big brother, how did you become a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and it's not life and death." Tang Zheng said with a smile, and suddenly Tang Zheng's face turned positive: "Big brother, take care of yourself, and say hello to grandpa and Cheng Ying's girl for me when I go home." Okay, big brother, you go get busy first, remember to get a thousand oil bottles when you leave. Cheng Pu answered, turned around and went out.

This time, 200,000 horses invaded Youbeiping, which caused a lot of pressure on Tang Zheng, this was the first major battle he came to this world, and the lives of the entire people of Youbeiping were in his hands.

Therefore, Tang Zheng can't lose this war, and he can't afford to lose, behind him are the thousands of people in the entire Youbeiping.

If he loses, the people of the entire Youbeiping will be reduced to grass mustard, cattle and sheep. I don't know how many people will fall under the butcher's knife of the alien race.
