Tian Guofeng patted the edge of the sand table vigorously, and said excitedly: "In this battle, I will be the vanguard, thousands of cavalry will rush, and the other party will collapse, and then the army will be launched, and the overall situation will be determined in a battle." ”

Cao Bin held on to the swaying sand table, and said with some annoyance: "Tian Guofeng, don't break my sand table, I took a lot of effort to do it." ”

Tian Guofeng stopped in disagreement.

"Guofeng's will to fight is very good." Zhu Youzhen said: "What does General Cao think?" ”

Cao Bin stood up straight, looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Third Highness, you are also a general, this battle, of course, is to be fought, but it is absolutely careless." Wu Ningjun will never be as slumped as we imagined. ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a while and nodded.

Tian Guofeng was about to speak, but Cao Bin glared at him and said, "General Tian, with all due respect, until now, you have not fought a serious battle with the regular army. In the past, in Tai'an, you basically fought local government soldiers, and there was still a considerable gap between this and the real elite. And in Guide, even if you have great achievements, but tell me yourself, is this battle difficult? The other party was unprepared. This time it's different, this time it's a battle, and it's hard to carry it with a knife and a gun, and there's no half-point to take advantage of. ”

"If you want to do so much, just cut it." Tian Guofeng said with a big grin.

"Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred?" Cao Bin shook his head and said, "What does it mean for us to fight such a battle?" Now that the battle is won, what are we left with? Your Highness, you have to think about more than just Wu Ning! ”

Zhu Youzhen knew what Cao Bin was talking about.

"There is news from Shi Hong's side, on the border between Gunhai and Wuning, the army is moving abnormally, what this means is self-evident!" Cao Bin said: "If we rush forward and engage Pang Xun under the city of Xuzhou, the enemies of Dahuangshan and Kuishan will inevitably pose a huge threat to us, and once we can't defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, we may fall into a predicament." Cao Bin said.

This brings us to a dilemma. Zhu Youzhen must defeat his opponent as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that there will be other changes, and there will be spoilers on the battlefield of Wuning. However, trying to defeat the opponent as soon as possible is a great risky act from a military point of view.

Zhu Youzhen was extremely annoyed for a while, and he finally realized the distress caused by the lack of troops. If he has enough troops that he can absolutely trust, then this time, he can completely push over, divide his troops to defend and intercept, and focus on attacking one part, so as to break through each one.

But now, he can really use only more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible for all of these 7,000 people to be sent to the battlefield.

"How about hitting these two flanks first?" Tian Guofeng suggested.

"Whether it is Dahuangshan or Kuishan, there are complete fortresses, which originally existed as the protection of Xuzhou City. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Pang Xun is probably hoping that we will do this! Cao Bin shook his head and said.

"This will not work, it will not work at all!" Tian Guofeng said angrily: "Then what are we still doing here?" Stretching out the head is also a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, how do you know if you can't do it without fighting? ”

"General Tian, war is not child's play!" Cao Bin said.

"I know. But now you don't have no choice, don't you? Tian Guofeng Huo Ran turned his head to look at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, I take people there, and I don't need anyone else, I only take my headquarters to go, we used to live in Mount Tai, can these two broken mountains be more dangerous than Mount Tai?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was moved.

The horns on both sides, as long as one is broken, this solid triangular defense is broken.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression, Tian Guofeng continued: "I took people up the mountain, causing chaos, and most of His Highness's men and horses pretended to move in that direction, so maybe Pang Xun in Xuzhou City would not be able to sit still and lead his troops out of the city to rescue, if His Highness could attack halfway, wouldn't it be equivalent to luring them out of the decisive battle?" ”

"Are you sure?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Your Highness, you want me to promise you that I won't dare to give it, but I promise to do my best." Tian Guofeng said.

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "This is also a way out of the way." It's better than what we can't do now. General Cao, what do you think? ”

Cao Bin pondered for a moment: "I can only try it like this." ”

"Okay, now that everyone has agreed on it, let's discuss the details." Zhu Youzhen said a little excitedly.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a guard walked in, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Zhou Qun asks to see you." ”

"What is he doing here?" Zhu Youzhen frowned, after Zhou Qun surrendered, Cao Bin took him with him, and he was also used to stabilize those soldiers and generals who were incorporated in Guide. "Let him come in and talk!"

Zhou Qun walked into the big tent with his body bent, first saluted Zhu Youzhen, and then turned around to salute Cao Bin and Tian Guofeng.

"Zhou Fujun, is there something wrong?" Zhu Youzhen, who was full of disgust before, was now full of smiles again: "Is there something wrong with the Guide soldiers?" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhou Qun said: "Just now, Jiang Qi and I were discussing this battle. Your Highness, you know that I don't understand military affairs, but Jiang Qi is leading troops to fight. ”

Jiang Qi was the general of the Wuning Army who surrendered after being intimidated by Chen Fu in the Sugezhuang military camp.

Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly: "What did Jiang Qi say?" ”

"Jiang Qi said that this battle is difficult to fight." Zhou Qun said: "If you go straight to Xuzhou, you will be involved by the two wings, and attack the two wings first, but because the terrain on the two wings is dangerous, it is difficult to succeed." And the Third Highness will definitely not trust these generals who have surrendered their troops, and it is impossible for them to go to the two wings to contain the enemy, otherwise if they turn against the water again, it will be a catastrophe for the Third Highness. ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed: "This Jiang Qi has a good vision." It seems that you still have a few skills, Zhou Qun, are you just here to tell a secret? ”

"No, no, no!" Zhou Qun waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty is here to share your worries for the Third Highness." ”

"What can you worry about me?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Zhou Qun took a step forward, approached Zhu Youzhen, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Liu Xuan, the Wuning guard general on Kui Mountain, the lower officials know each other. The lower official is willing to go to Kuishan for the third highness to say that this person will be surrendered. ”

The three people in the big tent were all taken aback, and they were greatly surprised.

"Do you know this person? How's it going? Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and asked with excitement.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression change in an instant, Zhou Qun knew that he took the initiative to invite Sakura, but he was afraid that he had really scratched the weakness of His Royal Highness, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

He is having a very hard time now, he can't help but think about the days to come, now he has no way, not only him, but the entire Zhou family has fallen into the hands of the Third Highness, a very simple truth, if the Third Highness fails, he is afraid that his fate will definitely not be much better. Even if His Royal Highness the Third Highness is merciful and doesn't clean himself up at that time, will the Pang Xun and Pang Jieshuai, who have come slowly, let himself go?

Of course not.

Now he can only go one way to the dark.

"Liu Xuanwen and I still have some friendship, and I know that this person is not satisfied with Pang Xun." Zhou Qun said: "I don't dare to say that I am absolutely sure, but there are always fifty or sixty percent, but I don't know what treatment His Highness can give him?" ”

"What was this Liu Xuanwen's previous title?"

"He didn't care about it before, he was just a Huaihua Lang general under the fifth grade."

"Tell him that as long as he submits to me, he will be a general of the German Zhonglang, and I promise him that he can control one side and unify the army independently." Zhu Youzhen said.

This is four levels in a row.

Zhou Qun was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness, I will leave for Kuishan." ”

"If this happens, I won't treat you badly." Looking at Zhou Qun's back, Zhu Youzhen smiled.

Zhou Qun turned around, slammed deep to the ground, and then strode out of the tent.

"So, do I still need to fight?" Tian Guofeng touched his head, looked at Zhu Youzhen and asked.

"Hit!" Zhu Youzhen waved his fist: "We can't completely pin our hopes on Zhou Qun, whether this person can succeed is another matter." If he succeeds, it will add a lot of chips to our victory in this battle, and if he fails to persuade us to surrender, as long as our side succeeds, it will be okay in the overall situation. ”

"That's the big Yellow Mountain." Tian Guofeng nodded and said, "Your Highness, I need a general topographic map of the Great Yellow Mountain." ”

"Shi Hong is collecting this stuff." Zhu Youzhen said: "You should be able to get what you want soon, General Cao, you go on to say what you think." ”

Cao Bin nodded and said: "General Tian went up the mountain to sneak attack, the main force on our side will not move, but we can send a soldier led by Jiang Qi to approach the direction of Dahuang Mountain, and on the way, we can do more to confuse the enemy, so that Pang Xun mistakenly thinks that we will attack Dahuangshan with all our might." In this way, once something happens to Dahuangshan, Pang Xun will definitely go out of the city to rescue. ”

"I acted with Jiang Qi. First, it is to supervise the war, and secondly, it can also make Pang Xun convinced. Zhu Youzhen said.

Cao Bin nodded: "When the Third Highness goes to Jiang Qi's camp, you must control this person." ”

"This is natural." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "General Cao led the main force to ambush Pang Xun halfway, in fact, as long as he comes out of the city, a full six thousand Xuanwu troops are enough to break the opponent." ”

A day later, a thousand elites led by Tian Guofeng appeared under the Great Yellow Mountain, and the soldiers threw away all the long blades, even the armor and stomach, and only brought horizontal knives and crossbow machines, but everyone carried a lot of crossbow arrows. All the soldiers were making their final preparations. For them, such a mountain is nothing.

Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu tied hemp rope to their boots, and said to Chen Fu with some puzzlement: "Why are we working so hard? Do you know that in such a battle, we will die a lot of people? ”

"It's all enemies, the same fight!" Chen Fu said lightly. "Now you and I need to build more feats and prepare for the future."
