Wang Yan returned to his tent, sighed, knelt in front of the desk, rubbed his swollen head, rubbed his face, was in a daze for a long time, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, called his cronies at home to come over, and sent the letter out, "I don't know what Yanxi and Yanyun will choose in the end, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Cheng Yun hasn't gone to call the battle in person for a few days, because Zhu's self-control ability is too strong, no matter how he damages him, he can hold on, so angry that Cheng Yun doesn't know what to say about him, are you here to attack us, okay? What does it mean that you can't set up camp? If you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't fight, you will leave!

But today, when I heard that the scout said that Zhu Jun had moved, he suddenly became interested again, and went out of the camp with Huang Zhong and others to provoke, but there was still no response, so Huang Zhong and others tried to attack the camp, but they were met with stubborn resistance, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and returning to the camp in a huff.

Cheng Yun poked his chin on the throne, "What do you say this Zhu Gongwei is doing?" The scouts say that their men go out at night and come back early in the morning, and do not engage us in battle. It can't be a sneak escape! ”

Jia Xu groaned, "This kind of strategy should be a plan to increase troops and reduce the number of troops or a plan to reduce the number of troops and increase the number of points, it may be that they are leaving, or they are coming to reinforcements, and more intelligence is needed before we can figure out their true intentions." ”

Xun You nodded and pointed to the map, "If they are reinforcements, they must be reinforcements from the west, and the Han army in Liangzhou has been dispatched with all the troops, and the rest is the Qiang people from all walks of life and the Han Wen Covenant Department, according to Ziyang's intelligence, the Han Wen Covenant Department is at war with the Hao Duoqiang, and there is no energy to support Zhu Gongwei, and the other Qiang people from all walks of life will not make a choice at will when the situation is unclear, it should not be reinforcements, it should be to go." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, feeling that what Xun You said was very reasonable, "It will not be the reinforcements of the Southern Xiongnu or Xianbei, the Southern Xiongnu are now merging Yanzhou for trouble, it is impossible to go west to provoke us again, and there is a lot of friction between Xianbei and the Qiang people, Zhu also hates Xianbei to the core, and has supported Gongsun Bogui to crusade against them many times, so he should not be in collusion with Xianbei." ”

Li Ru thinks that Zhu will not retreat in a hurry, "Zhu Gongwei will only choose to attack us in other directions, instead of returning to Liangzhou in a gloomy manner, if he can't crush us because of a close battle, then he will never have time to make a comeback,"

Cheng Yun looked at the map, "Judging from the cooking smoke, not only has the number of their cooking smoke not changed, but even the duration has not changed, which means that Zhu Gongwei either wants to give us a false impression that their number has not changed, or the number of people has really not changed, could it be that they have indeed not changed in numbers, but they just tricked us into attacking the camp and waiting for an opportunity to ambush?" ”

Cheng Yu glanced at Cheng Yun, "It's impossible to wait for an opportunity to ambush, if you give us the camp gate, we can go straight in."

Then set fire to the camp, what did they use to ambush? However, it is possible to deceive us into attacking the camp, but each time the losses are bearable, and many attempts can be made, could they have dragged us here for so long? ”

Cheng Yun shook his head, and Li Ru carefully analyzed, "In this way, they only have the only way to transfer the direction, we don't have to guess, it will definitely be the south." ”

Xun You looked at the map, "South? That is to go straight to Xia Yang. ”

"Xia Yang..."Cheng Yun looked around Xia Yang, "Xia Yang is a good place, you can directly cross Luoshui, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Fenyin, if we can't resist it, I'm afraid they will really open a road to Luoyang." ”

"No, it's impossible to cross east to Fenyin directly." Cheng Yu shook his head, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, they will definitely pay attention to the grain road not to be plundered by us, because Fenyin is already the hinterland of our control forces, if the wall is clear, and the grain road is cut off, they are the turtle in the urn, and there are only two options: death and surrender." ”

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, "Then I think I should be able to guess what they think!" ”

Cheng Yun was curious, and was just about to ask him, Xun You's expression was clear, confident, and he knew what Zhu and the others thought, Li Ru squinted, a smile appeared on his face, Cheng Yu shook his head, "It's easy to deal with you smart people." ”

Looking at Cheng Yun's bewildered expression, Cheng Yu was speechless, "Since they are afraid of being cut off from food, they will definitely choose a place that is not so abrupt, from Xiayang to the east is Fenyin, and to the south is Hongnong, which are all internal areas that we control very closely, and they do not border Liangzhou, they choose these two positions, although they will have certain strategic advantages, but the risk is extremely great, and they will definitely not choose to take such a big risk due to lack of manpower, so there is only one direction left." ”

Cheng Yun took a look at it and was suddenly surprised, "You mean Sanfu?" Where is Zhang Wen and Zhang Boshen? They're going to rendezvous with Ma Teng!? ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded, Cheng Yun gasped, "Then what are you waiting for, quickly write a letter to Liu Ye, ask him to take Yu Banle Jin as the general, and take his 50,000 northern army from Hongnong to Fenglingdu to support Sanfu, Sanfu can't be lost!" ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and Cheng Yun thought again, "We can only continue to try to attack the camp every day, although there are some losses every time, but only in this way can we judge when they will evacuate, and we can't directly abandon Hushankou, if we abandon it, it will be difficult for the entire state to be taken back into our hands!" ”

But said Hedong, Wang Ling is counting the autumn harvest accounts, in the era when there are no Arabic numerals, and even in the era when there is no abacus, it is really a big project to calculate and summarize the harvest and tax revenue treasury by pure manpower, not to mention that it also involves the problem of renting ploughing cattle and building a waterwheel, even with the help of Cui Jun, Wang Ling feels that he still has one

A feeling of baldness.

Busy until the night was about to turn on the lamp, looking at the backlog of harvest accounts in the counties on the case, Wang Ling sighed and couldn't wait to shout.

Cui Jun helped him pour tea, "Brother Yanyun don't have to worry, we are all the grain of the Reclamation Regiment, and it doesn't matter if it is cleared later, anyway, the people of the Reclamation Regiment can't run, so we won't swallow their grain and run away." ”

Wang Chen, who came in in a hurry, noticed that Cui Jun was there, and blinked, "Ahahaha, Zhou Ping is also there?" It's so late, go back and rest. ”

Cui Jun immediately discovered his abnormality, after all, Wang Chen usually ignores people other than Wang Ling, and he is used to having an inexplicable arrogance, but why do you still care about me today? However, for the sake of Wang Ling's face, Cui Jun shook his head, "I still have something to do, I'll go back first, and Yanyun will rest earlier." ”

Wang Ling's eyes widened, "I said, big brother, what's so urgent to hide from Zhou Ping?" Could it be that something is wrong in the house? Or is there something wrong with Sister Yi's side? ”

Wang Chen saw Cui Jun obediently leave the mansion and grinned, "There is really a letter from home, which was sent by my uncle, I think you should read it first and then talk about it, anyway, it is impossible for me to take this idea, everything depends on you to make your own decision, and I support your decision." ”

Wang Ling glanced at him strangely, took the letterbox, pulled the letter out of the letterbox, read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally frowned deeply, glanced at Wang Chen, and hesitated a little in his heart.

Wang Chen coughed, "I said, don't let me make a choice, you just decide, you decide, I definitely support it." ”

Wang Ling sighed, "Big brother, have you put it down?" ”

Wang Chen was a little distressed, "I may be a person with a thin nature?" Anyway, I didn't resent my uncle for losing his life because he had turned against him, and I was so resistant to him because he beat me and deprived me of my shelter. But now in the past two years in Hedong, I realized that my uncle's death was really wronged, and he Cheng Wenying should not have the idea of killing his father-in-law, including the later Wufu Liu Fan, who also died under Cheng Wenying's autonomous counterattack. ”

Wang Ling took a deep breath, "Uncle wants to be a loyal minister, and he also wants us to be a loyal minister, but he firmly believes that Cheng Wen should not be a loyal minister, and now it seems that it is really a very sad thing." At least, Cheng Wen should be able to do what the rulers of the world can do, which is already very loyal. ”

Wang Chen heard the meaning of Wang Ling's words, and did not squeak, and let Wang Ling make a decision, Wang Ling saw that he really let go, and took the case, "Let's go, let's go to Han Taishou, tell him about this matter, and see him decide!" ”
