In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, the braziers on several stilted iron frames were blazing brightly, and more than a dozen fierce generals and guards were patrolling back and forth, driving away all irrelevant people from afar.

Nan Ying walked into the big tent and unexpectedly found that there were only Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, Gao Shun and the five captains of the fifth school of the Northern Army in the tent, plus himself There were only ten people. He was slightly surprised, it seems that this military discussion is indeed extraordinary, and he and Gao Shun should have performed well in the battle of Inner Huang, so they will make an exception to attend as Sima.

Seeing that all the generals were gathered, Lu Zhi said happily: "This time the victory of Neihuang, our army has completely annihilated the main force of the elite vanguard of the thief army at a small cost, which can be said to be the first to take the lead, I believe that the news will boost the morale of the army from all walks of life!" ”

He saw that all the generals showed a relaxed smile together, and suddenly sighed: "Generals, don't be complacent, it's not that the general is deliberately ruining, there are currently a few bad news that have just arrived in the hands of the general!" ”

He nodded slightly to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Although our army won the first battle, but the other battlefields were defeated again and again, first in the southern battlefield, Nanyang has been captured by Zhang Mancheng, and the county guard Chu Gong died; The second is the eastern battlefield, Runan has also fallen, Taishou Zhao Qian was only spared, and finally the northern battlefield that our army is responsible for, although it has just entered Jizhou and won a complete victory, but in Youzhou, which is the farthest away, the official army has been defeated on all fronts, and Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Guangyang Taishou Liu Wei have been martyred. It can be said that in the entire strategic situation, the officers and troops are already at a complete disadvantage! ”

Nan Ying was shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "Could it be that the army of General Huangfu in the south and the containment troops in the east can't save the situation!" ”

Dong Zhuo and the fifth lieutenant were stunned together, only Lu Zhimu said with a strange light: "Oh? How did Nan Sima know that the eastern front was a containment force? ”

Nan Ying was shocked in his heart, and realized that he had already slipped away, except for Tianzi, He Jin, and Zhang Rang, only himself, Gao Shun and Jia Xu knew about the entire strategic department, but I believe that Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army, and Huang Fusong, the commander of the Southern Army, are also clear. Such a confidential military aircraft, even Dong Zhuo, who is a deputy general, should not know about it, and being told by such a small fake Sima will naturally make Lu Zhi vigilant.

He touched his nose and said in a hurry: "The entire army of the court is only 70,000, and our army already has 40,000 troops, I believe that General Huangfu Song, who is in charge of the southern battlefield, is a generation of famous generals, and naturally it is impossible to play the role of bluffing." That's why the last general dared to speculate that the east was a pinning down of the troops! ”

"Oh? It turned out to be speculation! Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the case, and said solemnly: "General Nan, even the generals don't know about the major military aircraft matters, you'd better not speculate!" Otherwise, once the morale of the army is shaken, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Remember! Nanying bowed. His back was almost sweating, of course Lu Zhi knew the inside story, so why did he admonish himself so harshly? Could it be that the people present will have a conspiracy!

"The south and the east are not the places that Ben will be responsible for, Ben will not be able to manage them, and he will not be able to take care of them!" Lu Zhi said in a deep voice, "However, a few hours ago, a Yellow Turban general claimed that he had an important military report, and it was related to the overall situation of my northern battlefield, which made the general feel uneasy!" That's why the general immediately invited all the generals to listen to what the general had to say! ”

He raised his voice and said, "Someone! Let the yellow scarf be in the account! ”

A tall young man dressed in the leather armor of an ordinary Han soldier strode into the tent.

His expression was a little haggard, and he first bowed silently to Lu Zhi, followed by a turn of his gaze, and quickly glanced at the generals in the tent.

When his eyes fell on Nan Ying, a panicked look appeared on his face that could not be concealed, and he blurted out: "Yin Nan! ”

Nan Ying also looked at him a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person was one of the three generals led by Yan Li that day, in fact, he was also the only person who survived at that time except for Yan Li, no wonder he knew himself.

Nanying smiled evilly and said, "Isn't this the fierce general brother who flew like a horse that day?" You're good at horsemanship! Otherwise, there would be no more opportunities to meet today! ”

The man suddenly sweated from his forehead and stuttered; "You, you are by no means a county lieutenant! Are you, are you? ”

Nan Ying sneered: "I, Nan Ying, am now a fake Sima under General Lu, so it's better not to forget it!" ”

Lu Zhi interrupted: "Okay! No gossip! Listen, if there is indeed an important military situation, Ben will guarantee to spare your life! ”

The man stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and hesitated: "Dare to ask the general, can I really be pardoned?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry! Ben Jiang has just received the will of the court, and today the son has already granted amnesty to the world, and he will not be pardoned! Therefore, as long as you are lost, not only will you not be killed, but you may also make meritorious contributions and earn back a meritorious name! ”

The man said miserably: "Thirty-five thousand troops can't conquer a small Neihuang, isn't this the will of heaven!" Of course, I am willing to make meritorious service and atone for my sins! ”

Nan Ying was suspicious: "You don't have any conspiracy, do you?" When Ben Jiang fought before the battle that day, he could see clearly, you are definitely Yan Li's henchman, and when he himself fled with an arrow wound, he didn't forget to remind you to flee quickly! ”

The man's eyes showed a look of fear, obviously thinking of the scene of that day again, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "General Nan is not wrong! It is indeed a strict lieutenant under him, alas! The general is really scary, in fact, there is a part of the reason why he surrendered because he was really afraid of you! ”

Nanying snorted and scolded: "It's like seeing a ghost!" Would it have been that scary? ”

All the generals let out a soft laugh together, and a smile flashed on Lu Zhi's face, and he coughed lightly: "Then, tell me everything you know!" If the situation is true, and it is beneficial to the battle situation, Ben will at least ensure that you are a Sima! ”

The man nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I am now a prisoner of the lower ranks, what else can I hide?" ”

He suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Moreover, I believe that after listening to the conclusions that are being made, the generals will definitely understand the bitterness of defecting in the next battle!" ”

Lu Zhi stood up and personally handed a cup of hot tea to him: "You take your time!" ”

"Thank you, General!" The man showed gratitude, "The sin general Pei Yuanshao was originally a military marquis under Sima of the Qinghe National Army!" ”

Nanying's eyes lit up, it was Pei Yuanshao! It seems that the probability of meeting "acquaintances" has been getting higher and higher recently! I don't know when I will meet Cao Cao and Liu Bei? If they are killed, then a large number of peerless generals and masterminds may be all in their own hands!

"In fact, there are not only 35,000 soldiers and horses along the way!" As soon as Pei Yuanshao said the first sentence, he made all the generals lose their color.

"According to the deployment of General Rengong, the main force of our Hebei Taiping Army has a total of 150,000 people! The general of Digong personally led 100,000 troops, set off from Xiaquyang, and attacked Julu along the line of Pingjian and Renxian, and Daqu Shuai Yan Li led 50,000 troops........."

"What!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but stand up, "Where are the other fifteen thousand people?" ”

Pei Yuanshao replied: "Our 50,000 horses were sent by Dongwu City of Qinghe State, and after a few days of marching, we received a notice from General Digong to send an envoy ordering Yan Li's clan brother Yan Zheng to divide 15,000 troops and horses to garrison Ganling!" ”

"It turned out to be Ganling!" The generals of the Han army breathed a sigh of relief, this Ganling was more than two hundred miles away, and it had no impact on the battle situation here.

"So how about Yan Zheng's people?" Lu Zhi asked, "Compared with Yan Li's ability to lead troops, who is higher and who is lower?" ”

Pei Yuanshao said disdainfully: "This person has always believed that he is a general of the earth and loves his disciples, but unfortunately there is no real material in his hands, he is more than a step worse than Yan Lilai, and this person is very jealous, so he has always been at odds with Yan Li!" ”

Nan Ying couldn't help but wonder: "But wasn't Ganling already broken by you?" Even Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, has become a prisoner, why do you still have to garrison heavy troops! ”

A burst of sadness flashed in Pei Yuanshao's eyes, and he said slowly: "This is the guess of the criminal general!" Judging from the bright side, the main direction of attack of the Hebei Taiping Army should be through Jizhou, which is the fastest route! And Yan Li also did so according to the instructions! The 35,000-strong army quickly broke in, and behind him was the 100,000 horses of the Digong General as a backup! ”

"On the surface? What do you mean? Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice.

"I stumbled upon three pieces of information!" Pei Yuanshao's eyes were godless, "There is something wrong with things, but when I told Yan Li what I thought, he couldn't hear it at all!" ”

"First, the Taiping army in Guangyang, Youzhou has completely grasped the initiative, but instead of taking root on the spot, digesting and eating the fruits of the battle, they secretly marched all the way from the southwest!"

"What!" Lu Zhi also stood up in shock, obviously even he didn't know the news, "How is this possible!" Didn't you depart from Tobu Castle? How could it be possible to grasp the movements of the Guangyang Thief Army! Hugh said that the distance is more than 400 miles, and he doesn't kiss in time! ”

Pei Yuanshao said indiscriminately: "The sin general didn't say that the news came from Guangyang!" In fact, it was the sin general who accidentally took down a small work on the march, and after severe torture, he was tortured and interrogated......"

He showed a bitter smile: "He turned out to be one of our people, and he was a scout under the Guangyang Taiping Army, and I learned from him that after the Guangyang Taiping Army attacked and killed Youzhou Taishou Guo Xun, he immediately sneaked into Hebei and secretly assembled in the mountains at the junction of Qinghe and Anping!" ”

Lu Zhi frowned and said, "Fifty thousand? Why do they hide even from their own people? Where is the scout now? ”

A gloomy look flashed on Pei Yuanshao's face: "General, please think about it, if an army of 50,000 suddenly appears behind you without warning, how would you feel!" ”

Lu Zhi groaned: "Ben will think that such a force that is enough to threaten the army, with strange whereabouts and hidden head and tail, although it seems to be a friendly army, but I am afraid that the comer will not be good!" ”

Pei Yuanshao nodded and said, "The Sin General also thought so at the time, so after confirming that he couldn't ask more things, he immediately killed him!" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Understood!" You feel that you have been involved in a conspiracy, and you may die at every turn, and of course you must kill it as soon as possible! ”

Pei Yuanshao said bitterly: "The criminal general was in a panic at the time and immediately killed that person, but afterwards he didn't dare to inform Yan Li of the murder of his comrades, after all, this is just the speculation of the criminal general, and there is no real evidence at all." So no matter how much the sin general suggested that Yan Li should march cautiously, he couldn't listen to it at all! ”

Nanying sneered: "What a contradiction! Killed the only witness, but didn't dare to tell the truth, cocooned himself! ”

Lu Zhi had a very inappropriate feeling in his heart, he vaguely felt that a terrible conspiracy seemed to be brewing in the Yellow Turban Army, and he said anxiously: "What about the second news! ”

Pei Yuanshao continued: "The original plan was for Yan Li to be the striker, and General Digong followed! The 150,000 army echoed back and forth, and went straight to the imperial capital! However, our forward march has been going on for many days, and on the one hand, General Digong strictly ordered our army to continue to speed up, but on the other hand, his 100,000 main force was stranded in the area of Julu on the grounds of insufficient food and grass, without an inch of progress! ”

All the generals were stunned and said: "Zhang Bao, as the commander of the whole army, of course has the right to advance and retreat freely, so what's wrong with this?" ”

Pei Yuanshao sighed and said: "Please listen to the third news from the general of sin, but this news is from the old department who is still stationed in Qinghe Kingdom, and he is now Yan Zheng's deputy general!" ”

Everyone listened with bated breath, only to hear Pei Yuanshao say lightly: "I heard that in order to save his life, Liu Zhong, the captured king of Ganling, has donated to Zhang Bao a number of grain depots that he has privately collected for many years, and there are at least 600,000 stones of grain!" ”

"What!" Lu Zhi's face changed drastically, "Are you saying that Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, actually defected to the enemy?" ”

"Not good!" Suddenly, one of them jumped up and shouted, "The enemy army coincides with our army, and it is all this trick to secretly cross Chen Cang!" ”
