A medium-sized clipper cleaves the white waves and swims upstream, facing the endless rolling water.

The southern eagle stood proudly on the bow of the ship, letting the oncoming river breeze blow its clothes.

Zhang Lu came to his side and said with a wry smile: "Sir, where are we going on this trip?" How can I look at it, it's like going in the direction of your Black Tiger Mountain! ”

Nan Ying turned his head and smiled, and said casually: "Gongqi said that he was laughing!" We are indeed heading west along the water, but our Black Tiger Mountain is still in the northwest of the source of the water, and it is still at least three days away from here! You must go in the future, but now that the war is imminent, how can we have time to go back? ”

Zhang Lu was stunned and said, "What war?" Aren't we going to carry grain? ”

A strange look flashed on Nanying's face: "When did I say that I was going to transport grain?" ”

Zhang Lu said angrily: "Sir! You once promised that as long as you surrender under your wishes, one is to send me military rations, the second is to help me kill Zhang Xiu, and the third is to allow me to continue to preach in Hanzhong in the future! Do you want to break your word as soon as we come out of solidity? ”

Nanying shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you still have a month's worth of food?" What's the hurry? Besides, let's go and help you fulfill your second wish first, won't we? ”

Zhang Lu's body shook and said, "What! Could it be that you are going to attack Zhang Xiu at this time? It's impossible! ”

Nanying stretched his waist and said casually: "Tell me your reason!" Why is it impossible? ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "Sir, are you testing me?" Although I don't know much about the use of troops, I can see that such a simple situation is clear! Zhang Xiu currently occupies Baozhong and Chuyang, and there are 12,000 troops stationed there. Although it is weak to be aggressive, it is more than enough to protect itself! ”

He secretly glanced at Nanying's face, and then said: "Sir, although the soldiers are brave and brave, but as far as I know, the number of them is no more than four or five thousand, Sun Tzu's art of war: ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, the enemy can divide it, if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided." With all the strength of you and me, and excluding the necessary defenders, it is no more than 6,000 at most, which is only equivalent to the army of Zhang Xiu's first county, how can it be captured? And the distance between Baozhong and the two counties of Chuyang is less than 100 miles, one is attacked, and the reinforcements from the other place can arrive in the morning and evening! ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly again: "I'm just afraid that if I can't attack the city, I will be annihilated by Zhang Xiuju under the city!" ”

Nan Ying turned around, patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder, and said happily: "Well said! Gongqi really taught me to be impressed! ”

Zhang Lu was a little flattered, but then sighed: "Mr. said that he wanted to attack Zhang Xiu, and it was really me!" ”

Nan Ying smiled and said: "I have a good thing about this person, that is, I never lie to my subordinates, although you can only count me as half of my own people at present, but I don't have to hide it from you!" ”

Zhang Lu was dumbfounded and said, "Do you really want to fight?" So where are your men now? Why did you only let me go with a few dozen people? You should take at least half of my men with you! Also, are you playing praise or playing Yangyang? How do you plan to deal with Zhang Xiu's reinforcements? ”

Nanying shook his head and said, "Alas, Gongqi! I don't even know how to answer your questions! ”

Zhang Lu said angrily: "You! You can't even answer this, it's not like you're fooling me! ”

Nan Ying looked across the broad river, looked at the river bank in the distance, and said leisurely: "Do you know why I want to borrow your broken boat and go up the river?" ”

Zhang Lu said angrily: "Mr. wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river!" ”

Nanying said lightly: "You are wrong! I am the official army waiting for Nanzheng, and they will dispatch 12,000 troops to your Chenggu County! And the trail along the water will be the only way for them! ”

Zhang Lu's face changed miserably and said, "What are you talking about!" ”

Nan Ying suddenly put his finger on his mouth and said, "Shhh Whisper, listen, as if they were coming! ”

Ignoring Zhang Lu, who had a blue face and white lips, he shouted: "Where is Zheng Du? ”

Zheng Du hurriedly ran out of the cabin, bowed to Nanying and said, "My subordinates are here!" ”

Nan Ying put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "How has the task been completed?" ”

Zheng Du's apologetic eyes swept over Zhang Lu, who looked stunned, and whispered to Nanying: "Please rest assured, lord!" I have already sent seven groups of people to the area of Baozhong, and I believe that Zhang Xiu should have received the news from us at this time! ”

Zhang Luru was struck by lightning, sat on the board of the boat, and pointed to Zheng Duji: "You, you, you are already his person?" ”

Zhang Xiu suddenly closed the book in his hand, looked at the few subordinates standing in front of him, and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Did the Nanzheng defenders really make a big move? ”

A sacrificial wine arched his hand and said, "Master of the Lord! This morning, when one of my subordinates was inquiring about the news, he overheard a woodcutter say that a large number of Nanzheng soldiers and horses were constantly driving out of the Nanzheng South Gate, all the way east, heading straight for the direction of Chenggu! ”

Zhang Xiu said angrily: "Why didn't you report such important news early? ”

The sacrificial wine smiled bitterly and said: "Master Rongyu, this matter is very important, how dare I report it hastily without confirmation, I must verify it before I can have it!" ”

Zhang Xiu's face slowed down, and he nodded: "Not bad!" You are a prudent man. So how, exactly? ”

The sacrificial wine flashed a hint of triumph, and said: "The subordinates have sent four groups of people to listen, and the news is accurate. The 15,000 troops stationed in Nanzheng had already driven 12,000 and headed straight to the east, leaving only 3,000 men and horses in the city to defend the city! ”

Zhang Xiu said suspiciously: "Is this really the case? Why didn't the spies we sent out aware of it? Even the inner Ying in Nanzheng City didn't have the slightest news coming! ”

The sacrificial wine said calmly: "Please rest assured, Master!" It was confirmed by the spies that although more than 10,000 officers and soldiers were at their peak, they were silent, and deliberately bypassed the official road and marched along the path by the river. The woodcutter also lives near the south gate of Nanzheng, and because he got up early to chop wood, he accidentally discovered that the army was pulling! ”

He muttered: "As for the internal response in the city, it should be that the incident happened in a hurry, and it is not enough to deliver the message!" ”

Zhang Xiu said with relief: "I see, no wonder! ”

He wondered again: "What is the purpose of the sudden and large-scale movement of the officers and soldiers, and deliberately avoiding the eyes and ears of others?" ”

Another sacrificial wine suddenly burst out laughing, and said out of the crowd: "Congratulations to Shijun, congratulations to Shijun!" ”

Zhang Xiu was surprised: "Where does the joy come from? Do you understand the intentions of the officers and soldiers? ”

The man smiled confidently and said, "Isn't that obvious? The official army is to quietly march into the army, capture Chenggu with lightning speed, and break our encirclement of Nanzheng! ”

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Tell me your reasons!" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "Master, please think about it, at present, there are nearly 20,000 people in my Heavenly Master's Dao, and the Han army is only 15,000, how easy is it to defeat us?" If we want to open up the situation, we must concentrate superior forces to capture one of our three counties and break the situation in which we encircle Nanzheng with the three counties. Then, defeat us one by one! ”

He said with a smile: "Chenggu City has a low wall, not only only 4,000 people, but also the farthest distance. Naturally, it has become the preferred target of the officers and soldiers! ”

Someone hesitated: "But if we send troops to the rescue, won't the wishful thinking of the officers and soldiers be wrong?" ”

The sacrificial wine clapped his hands and said, "You are wrong! According to my guess, on the one hand, the official army marched in concealment, hoping to take Chenggu in one fell swoop without alarming us! On the other hand, they will set up an ambush on the way to Chenggu, and when our reinforcements arrive, they will take us by surprise! It's a two-bird solution! ”

Another person said: "But we are now at odds with Zhang Lu, how can we send troops to rescue us?" ”

The sacrificial wine looked laughing and crying, and rebuked: "You are really stupid! The break with Zhang Lu was an internal matter that had only recently happened to my Heavenly Master, how could the officials and soldiers know? ”

He smiled wickedly: "What a pity! It was a good move! But how would they know that not only will we not send troops to rescue, but will take advantage of the situation when they and Zhang Lu are fighting to the death! ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and said, "You mean to say, take advantage of Nanzheng's emptiness and take advantage of the situation!" ”

The sacrificial wine bowed down and said, "Master Shengming! Nan Zheng must be taken, and there are three reasons for this. First, at this time, the plague has just been resolved, the world is unstable, and the court is still unable to take care of us, if we don't take the opportunity to expand the results of the war and occupy Hanzhong, only a few counties, we will not be able to deal with the large-scale encirclement of the officials and troops in the future, then we will really become a turtle in the urn! Second, in the land of Baozhong and Chuyang, there is a shortage of people and food, and the use of grain and grass for more than 10,000 troops is a big problem, and Nanzheng is the place of governance in Hanzhong, and it has always been a hoarding place for grain and grass equipment. ”

"Three!" He sneered, "With Nan Zheng, we can send troops to Chenggu faster, at that time, whether it is the official army or Zhang Lu, whoever occupies Chenggu is the meat of our mouths, and if we want to swallow it, it is a matter for us to open our mouths!" ”

Zhang Xiu's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Well said! Benjun has long had the intention of taking Nanzheng! Otherwise, they wouldn't have worked hard to build siege equipment as soon as they occupied the praise! ”

He shouted, "Herald! Ordered the defenders of Weiyang to divide 5,000 troops and drive to the west of Nanzheng at full speed to standby! I will personally lead the five thousand men and horses to meet them. Then, 10,000 troops went straight to Nanzheng! ”

Nan Ying stretched out his hand to pick up Zhang Lu, who was dead and gray, and said with a smile: "Gongqi, don't blame Zheng Du, it was I who made Luo Sanshan move him with the affection of his uncle and nephew, and he secretly submitted to me, otherwise how would I know everything about the recent situation of your Heavenly Master Dao?" ”

Zhang Lu said in a trembling voice: "That's it!" This matter will never be mentioned again! After all, isn't that the same as I am descending on you now? ”

He turned his head to look at the distant riverside, and a group of Han troops in bright armor were slowly moving forward, making a thunderous sound of neat steps, which was terrifying.

Zhang Lu was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "God will not let me!" Zhang Xiu hasn't been eliminated yet, but I'm going to be wiped out by the Han army first! I can't be blinded! ”

Nanying burst out laughing, laughing so inexplicably that Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "You can be regarded as my future lord, is it worth your joy that my lair is broken?" ”

Nan Ying smiled and said, "Gongqi forgive me!" I'm just laughing, how can you think that the Han army is going to fight you? ”

Zhang Lu hung his head and said, "Do you still have to ask?" The nerds also understand that they have only one purpose for going, and that is to become solid! ”

He suddenly lost color and said: "I want to go back immediately, Chenggu still has thousands of my brothers, even if I want to die, I will die with them!" ”

Nan Ying dragged him and said, "Just say this to you, even if I didn't misread you, you can follow me with peace of mind in the future!" I'll do to you as you do to your subordinates!" ”

Zhang Lu struggled and said: "If you let go of me, I will never steal my life alone!" ”

Nanying smiled and said, "Okay! I'm not going to fool you anymore! To tell you the truth, it is true that these officers and soldiers will go to Chengcheng, but they will only put on an offensive posture, and will never really attack the city! ”

Zhang Lu said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Don't lie to me! Why do you think so? ”

Nan Ying said lightly: "Just because I sent these officers and soldiers, how about it?" ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed wildly, laughing so much that tears almost flowed out, and he gasped: "Sir, aren't you crazy?" Can you mobilize tens of thousands of officers and soldiers? ”

Nanying looked calm and said, "Do you want to try it?" I'll put on a show for you! ”

He shouted in a deep voice: "Fang Hu! Waved the flag to the officers and troops on the riverside, and ordered them to speed up their advance and besiege Chenggu without attacking! Gao Feng must be in the official army, he will see it! ”

A grim-looking young man answered loudly, and quickly climbed to the mast like an ape, clamped his legs between the poles, and waved a red flag and a green flag in each hand.

Soon, a horse from the officers and soldiers galloped out until they reached the river, and the knights also waved the red and green flags in response. Soon, there was a faint shout from officers at all levels in the official brigade, and more than 10,000 troops slowly accelerated their speed, like a colony of ants crowded with thousands of heads, pulling into an unsightly black line, moving towards Chenggu.

Zhang Lu almost popped out of his eyes when he saw it, and stuttered: "It's true!" ”

He turned his head to look at Nanying and said in a trembling voice, "What's going on?" Who the hell are you! ”

Nanying smiled, "Isn't it weird? It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you have to believe, and you can only believe that all the promises I made to you before are true! And know that if you serve faithfully, your future will be bright! ”

Zhang Lu finally calmed down, sighed and said: "I still don't know something, why did you mobilize the army to Chenggu, does it have anything to do with what you said before that you wanted to capture Zhang Xiu?" ”

Nanying nodded: "Yes! In fact, what you said before is also good, Zhang Xiu's 12,000 men and horses are stationed in Baozhong and Chuyang counties, and it is indeed difficult to capture, even if I concentrate all the forces of you, me, and the official army, it will be extremely difficult to achieve. So there is only one way, which is to make a false impression that the official army will attack Chenggu secretly, show weakness to Zhang Xiu, and urge him to concentrate the troops of the two counties to storm Nanzheng. His men and horses are okay to defend the city, once they get out of the city, they are just a group of rabble, and it is just a matter of hands to destroy them! That's the way to lure the snake out of the hole, you know? ”

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly hesitated: "However, most of the official army is already here, and my men and horses are left in Chenggu, how can you annihilate the nearly 10,000 horses sent by Zhang Xiu?" ”

Nan Ying smiled and said, "Gongqi is really forgetful! Didn't you still praise me for the courage of the Eagle's Nest soldiers? Forgot so quickly! ”

Zhang Lu suddenly said: "I understand! You have sent all the Eagle's Nest army to surprise Zhang Xiu's army on the way! ”

Nanying said with a smile: "Count half of what you said right!" How? Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a while, and sighed: "I tried to say that I would always retreat from my husband back then, and today I realized how ridiculous this is!" ”

He suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Now I just want to say that my subordinates will never retreat again, and they will always follow the lord!" ”
