Deng Zheng commanded 30,000 private soldiers of the Southern Zheng clan, and at the cost of losing more than 10,000 people, killed Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and cut off the threat of the Yizhou army rushing from Brazil to Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

Pang Xi was killed, and the 16,000 troops who were still advancing were not worried.

In fact, Deng Zheng was able to defeat Pang Xi, on the one hand, because Deng Zheng used more than 10,000 private soldiers as bait, which made Pang Xi arrogant and confident, despised Deng Zheng, and was finally shot to death by random arrows; On the other hand, it was also Pang Xi who was the commander-in-chief, but he ignored the overall situation and left the army to march, so that he was finally killed.

There is a way that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and Pang Xi's victory will be rampant, which makes Deng Zheng's strategy useful.

In other words, generals such as Zhao Yun and Gao Shun who use troops rigorously will never let Deng Zheng's plan succeed easily.

Although Deng Zheng's plan was good, he led Pang Xi into the trap step by step.

However, the strategy of luring the enemy was full of flaws, especially when Duan An, Deng Jun, and Chen Shi led the troops to suddenly rush out and wanted to ambush the Yizhou army. This ability is an ambush battle, but Duan An and the three of them retreated without a fight, just a false shot, and then fled. In such a situation, it has been clearly shown that it is a plan to lure the enemy, but Pang Xi is carried away, so he will continue to lead his troops to chase after him.

In the end, when chasing to the mountains and forests, Deng Zheng appeared, and as soon as he fought with the Yizhou army, he immediately retreated.

Pang Xi still ignored it, chased after him, and finally fell into Deng Zheng's trap.

During this period, Ling Bao had already advised Pang Xi, but Pang Xi refused.

If Pang Xi humbly accepted the advice and thought about it carefully, the battle situation would be a different situation, and the more than 10,000 private soldiers that Deng Zheng used as bait would also be useless. It's a pity that the fire burned, followed by an ambush with bows and arrows, and then a spearman interception, a series of interceptions, and all four thousand elites of Pang Xi were wiped out.

Ling Bao and Deng Xian escaped with dozens of surviving soldiers, but they were also embarrassed.

Deng Zheng's army won a big victory.

The remaining 16,000 Yizhou troops have gone after losing their commander. The rest depends on how Deng Zheng sweeps the tail and clears the 16,000 people.

However, a few days ago, the situation in Baocheng was in a stalemate.

Outside the city, five miles.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can sat on the main seat, his hands pressed on his knees. Below, on the left side sat Guo Jia and Lu Meng, Guo Jia was wearing a white robe, revealing a trace of elegance, Lu Meng was wearing armor, hanging a Han sword at his waist, majestic. On the right side sat Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, both of whom were in armor and had serious expressions.

Guo Jia's expression was calm, while Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were slightly anxious.

Pei Yuanshao arched his hand and said: "Lord, it has been two days since the army arrived in Baocheng, and the lowly leader of the army has called the battle several times, Yan Yan is hiding in Baocheng and refuses to fight, so what can I do?" ”

Wang Can also nodded and asked, "Fengxiao, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, Yan Yan avoids and does not fight, which is beneficial to our army. ”

"Why is that?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Baocheng is located in the hinterland of Hanzhong, in the territory of Hanzhong. For Yan Yan, it was guarding a lonely city, with neither food and grass support, nor army rescue. On the contrary, for the lord, the lord led the army to fight in the territory of Hanzhong, was familiar with the surrounding geographical conditions, and had geographical advantages; The lord can dispatch the Hanzhong army to support at any time, with people and advantages; Now that the autumn wind is bleak and the weather is gradually getting cooler, Yan Yan leads the troops on a long journey, and the soldiers will inevitably not be able to support it for a long time. ”

"The time, the place, the people, the lord have all taken possession, but Yan Yan has no advantage."

"In today's situation, Yan Yan should be anxious, not the lord worried."

Guo Jia's slender fingers shook rhythmically in the air, and his face revealed infinite confidence.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Pei Yuanshao breathed a long sigh of relief, showed a touch of happiness on his face, gave a thumbs up, and said angrily: "Mr. Guo's words are too incisive and good. Hmph, let's spend it with Yan Yan to see who can't bear it in the end and take the lead in sending troops. ”

Guo Jia shook his head and continued: "Yan Yan is guarding Baocheng without taking the initiative to attack, there must be a backhand. ”

In fact, Gongda had already analyzed the movements of Liu Yan's army, and one of the armies marched from Brazil to coerce Hanzhong. Now that Yan Yan is guarding Baocheng, there must be an army that has not yet been discovered, because it is impossible for Yan Yan to pin all his hopes on the army in Brazil. There must be other armies going to attack Nanzheng, which is why Yan Yan is willing to take the risk and drag the lord here. ”

"If the lord retreats, Yan Yan will continue to attack the city; The lord besieged but did not attack, and Yan Yan occupied the city and defended it; When the lord attacked, Yan Yan immediately chose to defend. Yan Yan's strategy was to hold back the lord, attract the lord's attention, and create opportunities for the hidden army. ”

Guo Jia talked eloquently, and his words analyzed Yan Yan's movements.

If Yan Yan heard Guo Jia's words, his expression would definitely change greatly.

He led his troops to defend Baocheng, but he was in a stalemate with Wang Can, the purpose was to drag Wang Can's army, so that Wang Can could not advance or retreat. Wang Can attacked, and he defended the city; Wang Can retreated, and he could attack the city at will. In short, Yan Yan wanted to leave enough time for the other Yizhou troops to capture Hanzhong.

After hearing this, Wang Can pondered for a while and said, "Although Yan Yan's plan is good, it also puts him in a predicament, which is not a good strategy. ”

Guo Jiashen nodded approvingly, and said: "Yan Yan is guarding Baocheng and not fighting, relying on the grain that will be deposited into Baocheng after the autumn harvest in Baocheng. With enough food, he was able to hold the city and hold back the lord's army. However, once the food in the city was in short supply, Yan Yan lost the strength to defend the city, and the soldiers under his command did not need to be led by the lord to attack at all, and they would be in chaos by themselves. ”

Lu Meng's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir's words, do you mean that as long as you destroy the food hoarded in Baocheng, you can turn the situation on the battlefield around?" ”

Guo Jia still shook his head lightly and did not nod in agreement.

Lu Meng didn't get Guo Jia's affirmation, his face showed disappointment, and he immediately asked, "In Mr.'s opinion, what should I do?" ”

Guo Jia said: "What I said just now is that Yan Yan did not choose to take the initiative, but just chose to defend the city and drag the lord. However, once Yan Yan has the opportunity to defeat the lord, he will definitely choose to take the initiative, as long as he can defeat the lord, Yan Yan can also lead the army to drive straight into Hanzhong, so that he doesn't have to rely on the other two armies, wouldn't it be better? ”

The corners of Wang Can's mouth rose, and he also figured out what Guo Jia meant.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Can said: "Fengxiao, do you mean that Yan Yan will still take the initiative to attack and wait for the opportunity to defeat us?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "The lord is right, Yan Yan and the lord are at a stalemate, on the one hand, in order to drag down the lord's army, and on the other hand, he did not find a chance to defeat the lord. Once Yan Yan sees the opportunity, he will choose to take the initiative to defeat the lord. Compared with the two armies defending Baocheng, as long as Yan Yan sees the opportunity, he will definitely choose to take the initiative to attack and defeat the lord, after all, it is not a long-term solution to trap and defend Baocheng. Therefore, it was Yan Yan who was eager at this time, not the lord. ”

Wang Can also smiled and asked, "Does Feng Xiao have a strategy to defeat Yan Yan?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, a confident smile appeared on his face.

……

Baocheng, the county hall.

Yan Yan was wearing armor, and the golden knife was sitting in the hall, with a big ring knife beside him.

Below, there are a group of Yizhou army generals and captains.

"General, the army is surrounded by the Hanzhong legions, trapped in Baocheng, and can't get news of other armies at all. In a short period of time, our army can rely on the food supply of the granary in the city, but in the long run, the food in the city will definitely run out, once such a situation occurs, the army trapped in Baocheng will become a turtle in the urn, and it will be difficult to escape. ”

The name of the person who spoke was Yan Zhi, a member of the Yan clan of Ba County, and Yan Yan was of the same clan.

Yan Yan glanced at the generals below, shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't attack, but the time hasn't come." ”

Yan Zhi frowned slightly, and said: "General, Deng Fang, the defender of Baocheng, was killed by you as soon as he saw him, and the Hanzhong soldiers under his command also fled in all directions, and they did not resist at all." From Deng Fang's army, it can also be seen that the strength of the Hanzhong army is insufficient. The general will lead the army with a mighty army to kill, and he will definitely be able to kill Wang Can in one fell swoop and win great achievements. With such a great achievement in front of the general, what are you waiting for? Now is the best time to attack, kill Wang Can, capture Nanzheng, and the general will become famous in Yizhou, isn't it beautiful. ”

Yan Yan shook his head and said: "Wang Can killed Su Gu, curry favor with Dong Zhuo, and destroyed Zhang Lu, everything is not easy to complete, and such a person cannot be easily defeated." Deng Fang's strength is low, he has no ability, and it is reasonable that he can be easily killed, but Wang Can is different, his ability is extraordinary, and he cannot be underestimated. I said that the time has not yet come, and there is no need to argue. ”

"Huh!"

Yan Zhi sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade Wang Can, so he stopped talking.

"General, when is the time to take the initiative?"

The person who spoke was not very old, not yet thirty years old, and his body was slightly lean, but his knife-like face exuded a heroic air. This person's name is Du Xu, and he is the captain that Yan Yan relies on the most, he somewhat guessed Yan Yan's thoughts, but he still stood up and asked, wanting to get a definite answer.

Yan Yan said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, how can you judge the time in vain. If you want to defeat Wang Can, you have to look at the opportunity, and you can take the initiative when you have the opportunity. Du Xu, you send all the scouts to closely monitor the movements of Wang Can's army, and be sure to get the movements of Wang Can's army in the shortest possible time. ”

"No!"

Du Xu's expression was solemn, and he replied with his fists clenched.

"It's all gone, all go back to the whole army for training, and don't slack off."

Yan Yan waved his hand and sent away the generals in the hall.

The generals in the hall all left, but Yan Zhi remained. At this moment, Yan Zhi did not have the restrained expression just now, but instead revealed a casual meaning, and said softly: "Big brother, the troops are stationed in the city, and they can't defend it, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated, you have to think clearly!" ”

Yan Yan Zhengse said: "I am not in his position, I am not in his position, I accept the order to attack Baocheng and attract the strength of the Hanzhong army, so I naturally have to do what I need to do, and I can't choose to hide because of danger." After a pause, Yan Yan said again: "Okay, you can go down too, train the soldiers well, and be ready to fight at any time." ”

"No!"

Yan Zhi sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.
