Fei Zhen put down the letter in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

Perhaps the content of the letter was too unexpected, causing Fei Zhen's face to become extremely ugly at the moment, so that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

Seeing that his face was pale and silent, it was inconvenient for everyone in the military tent to ask, so they had to sit anxiously in their seats and wait for the next step.

After a while, Fei Zhen finally came to his senses, he beckoned to me, motioned for me to come closer, and then handed over the secret letter in his hand.

"Kejun, come, you can take a look."

I took the letter, read its contents, and for a moment I was shocked, and blurted out:

"What? How so?! ”

General Cao on the side had been waiting impatiently.

It was not easy for Fei Zhen to say anything when he took the letter, and at this time, seeing that even I was selling Guanzi, he couldn't bear it anymore, and saw him urging repeatedly:

"Counselor Xu, what does this letter say? Say it quickly! ”

I stabilized my mind, spread the secret letter on the big case in front of Fei Zhen, and sighed to everyone:

"Hey...... This letter was sent to the governor of the Shu army, looking at the wording, this should be a secret letter for help written by Song Mi himself. The letter mentioned that tens of thousands of homeless people in Chencang City today were bewitched by the demons of the Wudou Rice Sect, and they wantonly looted grain and rice during the siege of our army, and the situation was out of control for a while, but the few rebels led by them have now been restrained. In addition, Song Mi also said that the Shu army had won the first battle and the morale of the army had soared, so he hurriedly sent a scout to send a message to Jiang Hui, urging the reinforcements from Shuzhong to arrive as soon as possible, in order to attack inside and outside and defeat our army in one fell swoop! ”

When everyone first heard the first half of the secret letter, they were still a little excited, but they said that God helped Wei State, and there were homeless people in Chencang City who mutinied. But when they heard the word "reinforcements", they were all silent, and a panicked look began to appear on everyone's faces.

The atmosphere in the military tent changed in an instant, becoming more and more solemn......

Among the many generals under Fei Zhen's command, General Wei was obviously the more calm one, he recovered from the shock for the first time, and hurriedly asked:

"Is there still a surplus force in Shuzhong that can rush to the aid of Chen Cang? Counselor Xu, can this letter say when the reinforcements will arrive? ”

I shook my head.

"There's no mention in the letter, huh...... However, looking at this meaning, Song Mi originally planned to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but it may be that he did not expect that there would be a cult in the city suddenly, so he was worried that there would not be enough troops to pay attention to the situation in the city in the future. Second, perhaps as he said in his letter, the morale of the Shu army was high, and he was sure that he would defeat our army on the spot, so he would send a letter to Jiang Hui and ask him to try to speed up the rush to help. In this way, the reinforcements should be on the way at this moment, if they set off from the Hanzhong area, it is estimated that they will arrive in about 20 days, fortunately, this letter was intercepted in time, otherwise once it falls into the hands of Jiang Hui, his army will travel day and night, and I am afraid that it will arrive at the city of Chen Cang in less than 15 days. ”

General Wei pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then hesitated:

"The Ministry of War has estimated the military situation in Shuzhong in advance, saying that the Shu army has been quite tight in recent years, and the defense of Longyou and Hanzhong alone is a little stretched, so it stands to reason that there should be no surplus troops to support Chencang, right? Well..... Could this be a deliberate bluff by the defenders of the city? So that our army will retreat after knowing about it? ”

I pondered for a moment, and then replied in a low voice:

"I think the contents of this letter are true, and they should not be false. Thinking about it, Song Mi should know that as the vanguard of the army, it is impossible for our army to retreat in a hurry with just a secret letter to catch the wind and shadows, and if our army is forced to attack the city at any cost, it may not be beneficial to him, so if it is for the sake of bluffing, it may not make much sense. ”

General Wei agreed with this, and then turned worried:

"Well, it makes sense, but if the enemy reinforcements are on the way, as the letter says, then it is even more impossible for the defenders in the city to go out of the city for a battle. This is not the most important thing, after the 20th of the enemy's reinforcements came to the city, echoing with the defenders in the city inside and outside, then our army will be difficult to take care of, then it is not just a problem of failing to conquer Chencang on time! In this way, we can only hope that the displaced people in the city will revolt again! ”

I shook my head again and said:

"The displaced people are in turmoil, there are too many variables, we can't control it at all, not to mention those chaotic people are unarmed, after all, it is not a climate, just imagine that our army has not taken advantage of the sudden mutiny in the city today, and the Shu army will be more vigilant in the future, and it may not have much impact on the war situation, on the other hand, this reinforcement is indeed real, whether it is the arrival on the 15th or the 20th, it will always affect the future deployment of our army......"

General Cao saw that everyone was discussing countermeasures, but he couldn't use his strength, so he felt a little irritated for no reason.

He simply didn't think about those twists and turns, and once again hugged his fist at Fei Zhen, and said loudly:

"Oh, since the Shu army has reinforcements behind, where is there time for us to discuss countermeasures here! General Fei! According to the last general, don't care whether you lure the enemy or not, the people are not chaotic, tomorrow let the last general lead a large army to attack! Otherwise, you will miss the military order of the Grand Governor! ”

As soon as General Cao's words came out, I immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned my attention to Fei Zhen, for fear that I, the "senior brother" who has always been eager for quick success and quick profit, would be enthusiastic and make some irrational decisions at this time.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to admonish a few words, I saw that Fei Zhen was uncharacteristically not in a hurry to express his position, and still did not say a word in his seat, closing his eyes and thinking about himself.

My perception of him suddenly changed again.

I just feel that I am becoming more and more unable to see through the "cheap brother" in front of me.

I think when I first met him in Chang'an Daying, I thought he was a passionate man.

Later, when discussing countermeasures during the march, I thought he was a brainless man.

Later, under Chen Cangcheng, I thought he was a fierce general who was proficient in the art of war.

Until now, when everyone was panicking, he was able to always remain calm, as if he had become a handsome man in danger.

It's as if this person has countless faces with different personalities, and can switch back and forth at will according to actual needs.

In front of his superiors, he can abandon his opinions and obey orders, in front of his colleagues, he can be honest and win people's hearts, and in front of his subordinates, he is even more graceful and powerful.

It's terrifying.

I secretly reminded myself that I must be vigilant in my dealings with him in the future, and I must not be fooled by his deliberate performance like others, otherwise I would probably be calculated by him without knowing it.

However, I thought about it, and now that the enemy is present, I have always shared weal and woe with him, so I don't have to worry about this, and it is important to think of a strategy against the enemy as soon as possible.

So I quickly got rid of distractions and thought about it intently.

I recalled what General Fang Caiwei said, and it was true that if he allowed the enemy's reinforcements to come to him, they would echo inside and outside when the time came......

"Echo inside and outside, echo inside and outside......"

I chewed on these four big words repeatedly, and I always felt that there were some clues hidden in them waiting for me to discover.

After racking my brains like this for a while, suddenly, I felt a flash of inspiration in my mind, and suddenly thought of a way to resolve this dead end, and then shouted to Fei Zhen:

"Wait, there you have it! Pregnant! General Fei, there is a plan under him, and he can force Song Mi out of the city for a decisive battle in less than ten days! ”

Fei Zhen quickly opened his eyes after hearing this.

"Come on!"

Then I told him what was on my mind......

———————————————————————————————————————

"You hammer~~~ son! Hurry up and give it to your grandfather, I'll open the door! ”

In a military tent in the Great Wei camp, a young prisoner of about seventeen or eighteen years old was scolding a Wei guard inside the tent through a simple wooden cell door.

The guard, who was probably idle, had nothing to do, and when he saw that the young man was so inward-looking, he suddenly felt a little amused in his heart, so he talked to him with great interest.

"Boy, I advise you to be honest, if you behave well, maybe my general has a good heart, and he can give you a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"

Looking at the underwhelming appearance of the guard's hippie smiling face in front of him, the young man suddenly became angry, spat heavily on the ground and continued to scold:

"Ahh Grandpa, I was born as a soldier of Shu Kingdom, and I died as a ghost of Shu Kingdom! Want to make grandpa me surrender? Dream your grandma's dreams! If you let Lao Tzu escape one day, Lao Tzu will be the first to come back and kill you! ”

In the face of the boy's threat, the guard was unmoved, he smiled slightly, and his expression was still neither yin nor yang.

"Hey, you said that you are young, why are you so unclean, you can't move your grandparents, hey, okay, don't call it, our military camp is heavily guarded, you don't want to escape in your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the military tent was suddenly lifted, and a middle-aged man with a sloppy appearance walked in casually and lazily.

"Yo, Lao Zhang, why did you come to change shifts so early today?"

The man named Lao Zhang seemed to be in a bad mood, and at this moment, he was even more indignant when the guard asked him like this, and replied angrily:

"Hey, don't mention it, it's not Counselor Xu's fault, he said that this Shu scout knows a lot of secrets, let us rotate diligently, don't be run away by him."

"Haha, that's a good feeling, you sit down, I'll go first. Oh yes, here's the key to the prison door, I've put it here! ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, get out of here."

"Hehe, then you are always here to relieve this kid's boredom! Let's go! ”

Lao Zhang waved his hand impatiently, signaled the guard to disappear quickly, and then sat down at the wooden table where the cell door key was placed.

This Lao Zhang is obviously a soldier, and naturally he is very unimpressed with the idle guard prisoner, he gets up for a while, sits down for a while, and hums and chirps a few words for a while, in short, he can't stop.

After about a stick of incense, the last patience in Lao Wang's heart was finally exhausted, he couldn't bear the loneliness of being alone, and planned to find a knot to sneak out for a walk.

"Damn, this Counselor Xu has fine skin and tender meat, at first glance, he looks like a fledgling who has never been on the battlefield, worried about this, worried about that, it's really boring, just surrounded by so many people outside, who the can run, come on, Lao Tzu pee!"

Lao Wang stood up, lifted his pants and walked out of the tent, not forgetting to mumble softly as he walked, obviously holding a grudge against Xu Junwen.

However, perhaps because he had always been careless, or perhaps because he was too eager to urinate, he left the string of keys on the table in the tent......
