Jixian County.

Cheng Pu strode up to the enemy tower, waved his hand to Zhang Zhen, who was standing solemnly, and said loudly: "Lord, our army has cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city, and Jixian County has been captured. ”

"Is there a single one who has slipped?"

"Don't worry, the four gates are blocked by our cavalry, even a mosquito can't escape from Jixian County."

"Hmm." Zhang Zhen bowed his head lightly and fell into deep thought.

"Lord!" Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it time to support Shanggu County?" There are not many soldiers and horses in Shanggu County, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult to withstand the onslaught of Furohan's 20,000 troops. ”

"Support Kamiya-gun?" Zhang Zhen shook his head indifferently and said: "No, we can't be reckless, we can't be tough, our army is already less than the enemy, and there are still 40,000 Xianbei cavalry in Yunzhong and Dingxiang, we should reduce the casualties of soldiers as much as possible." ”

"Huh?" The golden light in Cheng Pu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Does the lord have a plan?" ”

"Time!" Zhang Zhen took a deep breath and replied, "We need time, it's a gamble!" ”

"What?" Even if Cheng Pu has high intelligence, he was also stunned, and lost his voice: "Time, gambling!" ”

"Yes, gambling! Strive to go to the valley pass when Fu Luohan reacts. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, but he still didn't say some words, this is indeed a big gamble, Jixian County to Shanggu Pass, compared to Shanggu County to Shanggu Pass, of course, it is far away, and it is necessary to bypass Shanggu County, which will take time, and strive for the virtual soldiers of Jixian County, which can disturb Xianbei's judgment. He had to get to Shanggu Pass before Fu Luohan.

Cheng Pu said in a condensed voice: "Lord, what should our army do now?" ”

Zhang Zhen's tightly locked eyebrows Huo Ran stretched out, and responded: "Leave two thousand elite soldiers to garrison Jixian County, tell the guards of Jixian County, now that the situation is undecided, it is strictly forbidden for any people to enter and exit, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Then you can plant more flags at the head of the city, and then recruit 20,000 people in the city to stand at the head of the city with sharp armor and sharp spears, thinking that they are suspicious soldiers. ”

"Yes." Cheng Pu's expression moved, and he asked: "Lord, our army has more than 20,000 people and a state iron cavalry, where do you want to go?" ”

Zhang Zhen's eyes suddenly brightened, Huo Ran looked back at Cheng Pu, and said word by word: "Destroy Luo Han, go out of Shanggu Pass!" ”

......

"Report...!" Fuluo Han's army formation, and suddenly a fast horse galloped in the back, and said loudly, "Jixian urgent." ”

"Jixian?" Fu Luohan's face changed, and he said in a condensed voice: "Could it be that Jixian County has been captured by the Great Han?" ”

The messenger soldier gasped: "Jixian County urgently, General Plating Gefu was ambushed in the dense forest forty miles away from Jixian County, the Han cavalry has exterminated General Plating Gefu, and the entire Jixian County has also been captured. ”

"What?"

"Jixian has been captured?"

"What about General Plating? Is it life or death? ”

Fu Luohan's generals were shocked.

Only Fu Luo Han looked as usual, and said indifferently: "What's the panic, isn't it just Jixian, as long as Shanggu Pass is controlled by our army, what is there to worry about!" Can the Han army in Jixian County have other actions? ”

"Report, not yet, but I saw a forest of flags in the city, and there were no less than 20,000 soldiers on the city wall."

Fu Luohan thought for a moment and said, "Hmm! It seems that the Han army is afraid that our army will attack the city! If the Han army in Jixian County makes a move, come and report immediately. ”

"Yes!"

......

The snow is white, and the official road is covered with snow, and if you step on it, you can drown half of your instep.

More than 20,000 troops were advancing in the snow in the night, but soon the army stopped its advance, because the official road from Shanggu County to Shanggu began to diverge here, one was a narrow road through the valley, and the other was through a dense forest wide road, both of which could reach Shanggu Pass.

Cheng Pu came to Zhang Zhen and asked in a condensed voice: "Lord, there is a fork in the road ahead, which way should we go?" ”

Zhang Zhen closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked instead of answering: "Demou, if it were you, if you were to choose, which way would you go?" ”

Cheng Pu replied without hesitation: "Of course, it is a wide road, which is easy to march and can also reach Shanggu Pass faster. ”

Zhang Zhen said again: "What if the narrow road is full of footprints and there are signs of ambushes? Or did you decide to go the wide road? ”

Cheng Pu thought for a moment and said, "There are ambushes on the narrow road, so it is even more necessary to take the wide road." ”

"Huh!" Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "In this case, we will take the narrow road, and then order the soldiers to march a mile on the wide road, and then retreat, while covering the footprints along the way, and then the whole army will enter the narrow road and prepare for an ambush." ”

"What?" Cheng Pu was stunned and said: "Lord, since you have set up an ambush in the narrow road, it should be to cover up the traces of the march on the narrow road, how to cover the wide road." ”

"The so-called reality is fiction, and fiction is reality." Zhang Zhen said indifferently, "According to the intelligence of Lord Shi of Bingzhou, this Fu Luo Han is quite strategic, or there are capable people to help, otherwise no one will be able to exterminate it for so long, so our army must do the opposite." ”

Cheng Pu suddenly realized: "I see. ”

......

Five days later.

The Great Tent of Furohan.

"Report...!" The long howl sounded again, and another messenger galloped forward with a panting voice, and said quickly: "Oh no, Shanggu Pass is urgent!" ”

"Well, Shanggu Guan urgent?" Fu Luo Han's face became more and more gloomy, could it be that the Han army of Jixian County had bypassed Shanggu County and arrived at Shanggu Pass? Then he shouted: "Quick words! ”

Seeing Fu Luo Han's fierce color, the messenger soldier was silent, and replied uneasily: "Han... The Han army has arrived at Shanggu Pass, and the camp stretches, fearing... I'm afraid that there will be no less than 20,000 people, and Shanggu Pass is in a hurry. ”

Fu Luohan's eyes contracted for a moment, and he was speechless for a long time.

The generals under it lost their color one after another, and said in a loud voice: "What? 20,000 iron cavalry have already approached Shanggu Pass? ”

"If Shanggu Pass is lost, our army will have no way to retreat!"

"Yes, if the retreat route is cut off, even if you take Upper Valley County, it will be useless."

"It's over, it's all over!"

Seeing that the generals were incoherent and frightened, Fu Luohan's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to blue, and suddenly shouted: "Shut up! Shut up! ”

The generals were silent, and there was a dead silence in the big tent, and only the heavy gasps of everyone could be heard. After a long time, a scribe next to Fu Luohan stubbornly said: "General, if Shanggu Pass is lost, then the big thing will be suspended, in comparison, it is not very important to capture Shanggu County, as long as Shanggu Pass is there, my Xianbei army can attack and retreat and defend, why don't you quickly return to Shanggu Pass?" ”

Fuluo Han Huoran looked back, staring at the dilapidated city wall of Shanggu County not far away, the tiger's eyes revealed indescribable loss and unwillingness, Shanggu County saw that it was about to be broken in one day at most, but unfortunately, there was no chance.

Five days of bloody battles, the blood and lives of thousands of soldiers, all efforts were wasted at this moment.

"Alas!" Fu Luo Han sighed, and when he turned back again, his face had returned to his usual calmness, and he turned to the generals beside him and said, "Immediately pull out the village and set up camp and rush to the aid of Shanggu Pass." ”

"Yes." The generals agreed with a bang.

......

"Report...!" Suddenly, a scout galloped over, "General, there are two forks in the road, one narrow, one wide, narrow, and the footprints are chaotic, and there seems to be an ambush. ”

"Oh?" Fu Luo Han asked again, "What about the wide road?" ”

The scout said, "Nothing unusual. ”

A commander said: "General, there are ambushes on the narrow road, so it's better to take the wide road!" ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable! "Fu Luo Han was about to wave his hand to let the army enter Kuando.

"No, General." At this time, the scribe on the right hand side of Fu Luo Han spoke: "The art of war is real but false, and virtual is real!" The Han army marched with great fanfare in the narrow road, but in fact there were no ambushes, which is called reality and fiction. There is nothing abnormal about the wide road, it seems to be virtual but real, there must be a large army ambush, the general, please look here, there are traces of burial on this wide road, presumably the Han army is trying to lure our army to take the wide road, so it erases the traces of the real march. ”

For this military division, Fu Luohan also attaches more importance to it, and after careful observation, it is true: "Hmm! Summoning the whole army and entering the narrow road. ”

"Yes."

The generals were ordered to leave, and in less than a moment, the vast army changed the direction of the march and entered the narrow road.
