Late at night, in Chencang City, General Fubo's Mansion.

Song Mi, the commander of the Shu army, and a middle-aged strategist in a Confucian shirt were discussing the defense of the city on the map on the table.

At this moment, a junior colonel suddenly pushed the door in a hurry, and quickly came to Song Mi's side and whispered:

"General Qiqi Song, there was news from the city just now, a scout of our army was captured by the Wei army, and the secret letter he carried was also confiscated, but fortunately, the scout took advantage of the enemy's lax garrison and escaped overnight, and then the news was returned."

"Got it, let's go down."

After hearing the news, Song Mi raised his eyebrows, and did not make any comments, but indifferently waved away the junior colonel in front of him.

After the little colonel left the room, the middle-aged strategist said with a solemn face:

"Hmm..... I didn't expect that this Wei army was so tightly defended that it could capture our scouts in the middle of the night......"

Song Mi smiled, reached out and patted the thin back of the strategist twice, and said calmly:

"Haha, don't worry about Jiang joining the army, General Ben has long expected this, so in addition to this scout, he secretly arranged for two other scouts to disperse out of the city, thinking that they are already on the way back to Shuzhong at this moment."

Jiang Senjun was relieved when he saw that the main general had a back hand, but then he seemed to remember something again, and the heart he had just put down was raised again.

"The general is far-sighted, admire! However, this secret letter involves the support of our army, and if nothing else, it should have been known to the Wei army, and I am afraid that it will leave hidden dangers. ”

After hearing this, Song Mi had a smile on his face, slowly paced to the desk, and picked up the portable sword that was placed on the table.

"Boom!"

He drew his sword and pressed his fingers back and forth over the countless tiny notches in the blade.

"Since I am safe and waiting to leave the city, I am not afraid that the enemy will know about it. Besides, what if Fei really knows? Judging from the situation of today's first battle, as long as there is no more chaos in the city, it is not a problem for our army to hold on for about 15 days. Hehe, I think Fei Zhen is already anxious and chaotic at this time! ”

When Song Mi said this, he was full of spirit and confidence, and he had a heroic spirit of "flying and domineering".

But as Song Mi's cronies and masterminds, Jiang knew that his duty was to plan for the worst.

So he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at the moment, and still reminded with a serious face:

"General, although our army has the upper hand in today's battle, and the chaotic people in the city have been controlled in time, there are still some hidden worries after all, and now that Fei Zhen knows that our army's support is coming, he must be more and more eager to attack the city, and I think that the enemy's offensive will only be more fierce in the next few days. General, Fei Zhen is a famous general in the world, and he has enough soldiers and food under his command, so you must not take it lightly! ”

Song Mi has worked with Jiang Senjun for many years, and has always relied on him, he knows that this person has a calm heart and does not leak, so his words still have some weight in Song Mi's heart, and after listening to Jiang Senjun's patient advice at this time, Song Mi also seems to feel that Fang Cai is a little too complacent.

So he pondered for a moment, and immediately returned the sword in his hand to the sheath, and turned to the right color:

"Hmm...... Sir's words are reasonable, if Fei Zhen insists on attacking regardless of the cost, our army will still suffer some losses. In this way, I expect that after receiving the secret letter, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely speed up the march of the reinforcements, so that the reinforcements and the baggage should arrive in Guanzhong within 15 days, and we don't need to deduct too much grain and grass these days, and from tomorrow Mr. will start to distribute a part of the government stockpile, so as to reassure the people. With this out of the way, we can focus on defending the city and waiting for help! ”

"The general is wise! I'll arrange it tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shenjun's frowning brows finally relaxed slightly, and he was a little glad that the person he assisted was an open-minded general, otherwise, even if he had a million in his belly, he would have nowhere to show it.

Song Mi nodded and said with a smile:

"Well, it's getting late, and Mr. should be tired, so let's go back and rest early, don't get tired, and then General Ben still needs Mr. to help him come up with advice."

"No."

Jiang Senjun saw that Song Mi was so polite and virtuous, and he was a little moved for a while.

So he nodded solemnly, and then turned and left.

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

At noon the next day, Jiang had just finished his errand and was about to return to his home for dinner, when he suddenly heard someone come to report that the Wei army outside the city was moving a lot today.

The location of Jiang Senjun's army was far away from the city wall, and he could not know what was going on with just a few words, so he was very anxious, and he didn't bother to stop for lunch, so he rushed straight to the city.

When he climbed to the top of the city out of breath, he saw silence inside and outside the city walls, and he could not hear the sound of killing like yesterday.

He thought that this was a moment of tranquility after the battle, but when he looked around, he saw that the Shu soldiers above the city were all calm and breathing evenly, which was obviously not the state that should be after the fierce battle.

Just as he was about to find someone to inquire further about today's situation, Song Mi stopped him at the bottom of the city in the distance.

"Sir, sir, come on, come on, can you do anything to appease the people?"

Seeing that the main general was summoned, Jiang Senjun hurriedly came to Song Mi's side, panting and replied:

"Ahem, General Hui, early this morning, I have distributed the food from the government to the displaced people in the city as needed, and the effect is remarkable, and now they are much more settled. In addition, I also asked people to post notices all over the city, and in the future, anyone who exposes the five buckets of rice to teach demons will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who harbor demons will be dealt with according to military law. ”

"Okay, sir, you really don't let General Ben down."

Jiang Senjun was obviously more concerned about the current movements of the Wei army than his praise, so he hurriedly asked:

"General, I heard that the Wei army is very abnormal today, I don't know what the current situation is?"

"Well, it's strange to say, last night we all thought that Fei Zhen would be impatient to attack the city, but today, except for some small-scale tentative attacks, the Wei army has almost always been immobile for the rest of the time."

Jiang Senjun was very surprised when he heard this, and blurted out:

"This doesn't make sense, I heard that Fei is really strong, how can he be so calm?"

"Sir, where do you look?"

As Song Mi spoke, he pointed his finger to a place outside the city, and looked carefully in the direction of his finger, Jiang Senjun found that about three hundred steps outside the moat, the Wei soldiers were in full swing to build fortifications on the spot.

Trenches of different depths have been excavated, and rows of repulsive horses are scattered in front of the trenches, and even a few simple arrow towers have been erected.

Song Mi withdrew his hand, stared at the busy Wei army in the distance, and explained to Jiang Senjun:

"It seems that there is a fortification like this, there is a place on each side of the city, not so much to prepare for the siege, but to prepare for our army to attack, so it seems that Fei really made up his mind to besiege and not attack, just waiting for Zhou Xin's army to arrive."

Jiang Shenjun retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and wondered:

"General, according to the previous intelligence, this Fei Zhen is the vanguard of the Wei army, and he came straight to Chencang, while Zhou Xin led the army to advance slowly. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the army's follow-up grain routes, Zhou Xin needs to divide his troops to clear out several strongholds of our army in the Guanzhong area one by one, and then he will join Fei Zhen in Chencang, so his army cannot arrive faster than our army's support, and now Fei Zhen has learned that our army's support is coming, but he still chooses to besiege and not attack, isn't this a self-defeating way? ”

Song Mi nodded, smiled contemptuously, and said:

"Hehe, what Mr. said is extremely true, it seems that this Fei is really brave but lacks wisdom, and it is not as powerful as rumored."

Jiang Senjun understood that Song Mi had misunderstood the meaning of his words, so he hurriedly shook his head and reminded:

"No, no, I can think of this, Fei Zhen's staff will not think of it, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the general must not underestimate the enemy, I can't say what tricks they are planning."

"Oh? Sir, but he was worried that Fei Zhen learned that our army had backup and summoned Zhou Xin in advance? ”

Jiang Senjun shook his head again and said worriedly:

"Otherwise, Zhou Xin's Chinese army doesn't need to worry the least, you know, the area west of Guanzhong is in our country's control all the year round, and the situation is very complicated, even if Fei Zhen asks Zhou Xin for help, his Chinese army can't pull away for a while, but because of this, Wei Jun's current behavior is particularly abnormal."

Although Jiang Senjun vetoed Song Mi's speculation, he actually had no clue in his heart, so he couldn't guess the enemy's intentions for a while, so he stopped talking and lowered his head and pondered.

Song Mi waited patiently for a while, seeing that Jiang had never been able to give an exact explanation, so he didn't want to continue to waste time on this kind of useless conjecture, after all, he still had to find time to patrol around and rectify the defense.

So he came to a hasty conclusion and ended the conversation.

"Sir, don't think too much, maybe this is Fei Zhen's suspicious strategy, just to make us suspicious, so as to lure our army out of the city to fight. In my opinion, let's do the best in the future, after all, it is he who is really anxious. ”

"Well, the general is right, this is indeed more secure, presumably in a few days the other party's intentions will surface on their own."

Xiao Bai and I stood in the midst of the chaotic Great Wei army, looking at the impregnable city from afar.

"Is your plan good, but there are too many variables, and everything will be closed if there is a slight mistake, are you confident?"

"Brother Xiao, how can there be any perfect plan in this world, the same clever plan, if you become a reincarnation, if you fail, future generations will laugh at you on paper. Therefore, all I can do at the moment is to do my best, and as for whether I can succeed in the future, I can only leave it to the fate of God. ”

"Hmph, according to what you say, what's the difference between you and the gambler who messed up the treasure game?"

"Yes! I'm luckier than them, and it's more than a little better! ”
