Zhang Huan replied: "I told the general, the kingdom and Yan Zhong are not the people who have no last resort, the kingdom is a person who is quite scheming, but he is more resourceful and less decisive, Yan Zhong is different, this person was born in the army, his temperament is straightforward, but he is a little brutal and unkind, and the rebels outside Jincheng are led by the kingdom. ”

"The art of war is cloudy, siege warfare, ten sieges, five battles, multiples are divided, this kingdom only has five thousand people, but the result is to surround Jincheng, but also to attack from all sides, which shows that he does not know the art of war, but the kingdom likes to use some crooked ways."

"If the general doesn't come, it will be his deliberate defeat, leading me out of the city to chase and flee, and then ambush me, but the general is here, and those ambushes have become prepared for you, but he doesn't know the art of war, and there is also a way to cheat defeat, when the rebels are defeated and retreated, the military formation is still neat, the military flag is held high, and there is even a broken back, then it can only be regarded as a retreat, not a retreat, so I conclude that there must be an ambush behind."

Xiang Qing suddenly realized, this ambush is not coming for me, this makes sense, this kingdom may just see that an elite cavalry suddenly appeared, and the ambush was seen through again, so it gave up this immature idea.

Everyone continued to chatter, and Xiang Qing proposed that the day after tomorrow, Wang Shu Danfu would arrive in Jincheng with 4,500 Luoyang infantry, and at that time, our strength would surpass that of the opposite side and we could start a frontal battle.

Zhang Huan also agreed with this idea, in the face of dignified strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain, this is the method of using troops that Xiang Qing and Zhang Huan agreed on, Seek victory in stability.

And the rebels outside the city also seemed to realize something, they withdrew the encirclement of the three city gates, concentrated all their military forces in the west city, and felt above that the battle to determine the ownership of the golden city was coming.

The kingdom sat at the top of the big tent, and the lower ones were all the generals under them, and even if the tent was sewn from cowhide, it could not withstand the shouts of hundreds of people outside.

"The enemy general's kingdom has been beheaded by our army!"

"Surrender quickly to the rebels outside the city!"

……

I have to say that the people Liu Hu is looking for, that mouth is worse than the other, the defenders in the city are happy to listen, but the rebels outside the city are terrified, they can't see the general's kingdom, and they think that the kingdom is really dead, if it weren't for the pressure of their respective captains and centurions, they would have bombed the camp.

The kingdom had a gloomy face, and one of the rebel generals under his command persuaded: "General, if you don't go out to meet your brothers again, I'm afraid the situation will be a little difficult to control." ”

The generals under his command persuaded the kingdom one after another, but the kingdom looked indifferent, and the generals were anxious in their eyes, but they could only wait for the kingdom to go out by itself, and they had nothing to do.

After a while, the kingdom suddenly smiled and said with a smile: "There is a plan to destroy the enemy!" Herald! The whole army is plain, holding the white flag, shouting condolences, until tomorrow, when the two armies are fighting, I will appear again to announce the whole army, the soldiers must think that I am a god descended from heaven, since the battle is invincible, this battle will be won! ”

Everyone was puzzled, but the kingdom waved his hand: "Hugh said more, act according to the plan, and disperse." ”

When the generals left the tent, they were all a little puzzled, and at this time, the two centurions gathered together.

"Brother Li, do you know what the general means? Today, the whole army is mourning, and tomorrow it will be able to win without a fight? ”

"To be honest, Brother Guo, I think the two of us brothers will die sooner or later if we follow him, it's better to ......"

"Brother Li, what do you mean?"

The two hit it off, whispered, and had already made their own wishful thinking, and then returned to their respective camps, gathered all their henchmen, and prepared to do things.

Tomorrow, Shan Fu and Wang Shu led the infantry army of 4,500 people, swaggering from the east city gate, waving flags and shouting into the city, and then let the soldiers change into the people's clothes out of the city, out of the city and then change into military uniforms to come in, so tossed four or five times, not only the people in the city, even the rebels outside the west city have heard the news, a look at the east gate of the Han army is a steady stream of in, for a while think that this golden city came to 20,000 Han troops! The morale of the rebels was even lowered.

On the west city gate, Xiang Qing and Zhang Huan stood together, they didn't look at the Han army that came in from the east city, both of them stared at the rebel camp outside the city.

Zhang Huan asked, "General, how did you come up with this method?" ”

Xiang Qing replied: "You are asking, I let them into the city, haha, I also had a whim, I just want to suppress the morale of the rebels." ”

After that, Xiang Qing also secretly glanced at Dong Zhuo behind him, he could think of this method, thanks to Dong Taishi, the book said that when Dong Taishi entered Luoyang City, he used this method, which suddenly shocked the civil and military officials of the entire Luoyang City, and the scenery was immeasurable.

But what Xiang Qing didn't know was that Dong Zhuo saw the endless army in Dongcheng, and he also had a secret way in his heart, so he had a good trick to steal the beams and change the pillars, and hide from the world, it seems that this hairy boy is not simple.

At this time, Shan Fu and Wang Shu had already come to Xiang Qing to restore their lives.

Shan Fu arched his hand and said: "General, Shan Fu is fortunate not to be dishonored, presumably the rebels outside the city have been frightened, right?" ”

Xiang Qing pointed to the rebel barracks outside the city: "Zhonglang, Yuan Zhi, you see, this hanging on the head of the city is obviously a stand-in, why do the rebels even hang the white flag?" Don't you want to surrender? ”

Shan Fu was shocked, he had never said his words, how did Xiang Qing know? He looked at Wang Shu, he thought it was Wang Shu who told him, Wang Shu looked at Shan Fu with a confused expression, am I wearing my clothes backwards? Why are you looking at me like that?

Zhang Huan explained: "This is not a white flag for surrender, it is a white flag for the death of the main general, mainly to boost morale, but in my opinion, the morale of the rebels seems to be even lower." ”

Xiang Qing asked suspiciously, "What does this kingdom think?" No matter how stupid you are, you can't be stupid like this! The big war is coming, and he committed suicide first? ”

Xiang Qing asked, his eyes skimmed to Shan Fu, and Shan Fu spread his hands and said helplessly: "General, how can I understand the thoughts of such a fool?" ”

Xiang Qing looked at Zhang Huan again, the corners of his mouth went down, not smacking his lips, which means, you fought with such an idiot, and you were able to lose Liangzhou?

Zhang Huan looked innocent, and hurriedly explained: "General, this kingdom was not like this when it was in Liangzhou, at that time, he could guess my deployment in every battle, as if he had the ability to predict the future, I really can't help it, General, you have to believe me!" ”

Xiang Qing looked back and wondered in his heart, could it be that this kingdom has a perspective? Or is it a perspective with a range, and when it goes out of the Liangzhou range, it automatically becomes a fool?

I didn't have time to think about it, the rebels had already come outside the city, and everyone saw on the city wall that the rebels poured out from the gate of the barracks like a tide, with the shield soldiers in front, the spearmen in the middle, and the archers at the end.

The rebels don't know where to get a lot of white flags, and the helmets are still wrapped in yellow linen, and the morale is extremely low, many soldiers are looking around, and even those elite Xiliang iron horsemen are sitting on war horses like pins and needles, like a fish in the throat, like a thorn in the back, and they are uncomfortable.

Xiang Qing asked: "Yuan Zhi, the soldiers came all the way, how is their physical strength?" ”

Shan Fu replied: "General Qiyu, I have long guessed that there will be a battle today, so I ordered a rapid march the day before yesterday, and ran a hundred miles in a day, and I had arrived near Jincheng last night, and ordered the soldiers to rest in place, and now the soldiers are all gearing up, just waiting for a battle with the rebels!" ”

Xiang Qing asked Zhang Huan again: "How are the soldiers in the city prepared?" ”

Zhang Huan also replied: "According to the general's orders, all the old, weak, sick and disabled are all cut, and there are still 1,500 elite warriors left, divided into three battalions, of which the Wuwei battalion is sword and shield soldiers, the middle base battalion is spearmen, and the guerrilla battalion is archers, 500 people each, all of them are fully equipped, just wait for the general's order!" ”

In the 5,000 Luoyang army brought by Xiang Qing, it was divided into five battalions, namely the sword and shield soldiers and guard battalion, the spearmen base battalion, the spearmen backbone battalion, the Luoyang elite cavalry battalion, and the archers guerrilla battalion.

Xiang Qing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned around and walked down the city tower, and said as he walked: "Luoyang middle base camp to the left, go to defend against the Xiliang iron cavalry, transfer the guerrilla battalion to the right for me, before the battle, we must shoot all the Qianghu hunting cavalry on the right, the Wuwei battalion is in front, the backbone battalion is in the middle, the middle base battalion is in the formation, and the whole army will attack immediately!" ”

"No!" The generals replied in unison.

The east gate of the city slowly opened, Xiang Qing took the lead, followed by all the generals and colonels, and then the Luoyang Iron Cavalry took the lead in the battle, in case the enemy army took advantage of the unstable formation to suddenly attack.

The Han army, with a total of 6,500 people, surpassed the rebels by 1,000 and 500 in numbers, but the rebels had 1,500 cavalry, which should not be underestimated, and it was difficult to say whether they would win or lose, so they could only fight and see.

When the two sides finished arranging, Xiang Qing remembered that the most popular in the Three Kingdoms period was the fighting formation, the generals on both sides took turns to fight heads-up, whoever wins will grow morale, and whoever loses will lose morale, this method is better, if I finish their generals alone, then won't the other side collapse?

Xiang Qing stepped forward immediately and shouted: "I am Xiang Qing, the general of the expedition to the west!" The enemy will dare to fight me! ”

Zhang Huan patted his thigh at this time: "Hey! How could the general be so reckless! The rebels already have no morale, so why bother! ”

Liu Hu and Wang Shu glanced at each other and didn't speak, but in front of General Zhonglang, they didn't have the right to speak.

Xiang Xu, who was silent, opened his mouth and said: "On the other side, there is no one who can beat my brother." ”

Zhang Huan glanced back at Xiang Xu in surprise, this handsome young man has been a little tanned recently, the necklace on his forehead is clean, his black hair and ribbons are dancing in the wind, staring at Xiang Qing intently, he has never paid attention to this child, and now it seems that this child is far from being as simple as it seems.

Shan Fu said with a big grin: "Zhonglang will relax your mind, there are two or three cats and dogs on the other side, and no one can beat this guy." ”

At this time, in the rebel formation, a young general slowly walked out, saying that he was a young general, but he was about the same age as Xiang Qing, in his twenties.

"The lackeys of the court are rampant, watch me take your dog's life!"
