"With the immediate battle of the princes, our army will be able to save a large number of soldiers and horses and gain enough time to easily withdraw to Sanfu. After all, the Taishi has hollowed out the eighteen imperial tombs, and a large number of materials are taking time to evacuate from Luoyang, and nearly hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang will also rush to Sanfu with our army.

Therefore, according to the foolish opinion of the last general, if the Ma family children take Pingyang, it will be beneficial to our army, but there is no harm. Why didn't the eldest prince teach people to inform the guards of the cities and counties along the road, so that they did not have to send troops to intercept them, and at the same time teach them to spread the news, so that the hearts of the northern and southern thief armies were turbulent, so that all the departments of our army could take advantage of the gaps.

When the matter is a foregone conclusion, the Taishi will definitely appreciate what the eldest prince has done. The day when the eldest prince soars is just around the corner! Cheng Long spoke sharply, and Dong Huang was overjoyed.

Dong Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, and actually got up and bowed to Cheng Long, and said: "The strategy taught by General Cheng today, Huang must keep it in mind, and he will end up prosperous and rich in the future, and he will never forget the grace of General Cheng's plan today!" ”

When Cheng Long heard this, he was flattered, and hurriedly stood up and saluted back, saying that he didn't dare. At this time, suddenly the soldiers outside reported that Gao Shun wanted to see him. Cheng Long's face froze, and he said in a low voice: "After all, Gao Shun, the eldest prince, is from Bingzhou, and I heard that Lu Bu's faction has long had the intention of taking the merger of states as their foundation, and they don't want others to get Pingyang, so you have to be careful." ”

When Dong Huang heard this, he nodded, and he realized that he had summoned Gao Shun in. Suddenly, Gao Shun walked in, with a solemn face, and after saluting, he said: "The eldest prince, our army scouts know that there is an army of horse thieves who are heading to Pingyang, and there are not many soldiers in Pingyang, so as not to be attacked, I thought that when I sent an army to pursue the attack, I would notify the guards of the cities and counties along the road, send troops to attack, and annihilate them as soon as possible!" ”

When Dong Huang heard this, he smiled unhurriedly and said, "General Gao doesn't have to worry too much, I have already known about this matter, and I have already set up an ambush in Pingyang." ”

When Gao Shun heard this, his face changed at first, and then he thought that Li Ru would come soon, or maybe he had expected it, and secretly admired Li Ru's strategy, so he was also relieved, and said: "In this way, it is the end of the general's thoughts." ”

At this time, Cheng Long's face was suddenly shocked, as if he had noticed something, and said to Dong Huang: "Eldest prince, the thieves have sent a large number of thieves, and now the camp is empty... It's better to..."

Dong Huang was obedient, and his face was suddenly shocked, he who had tried the fruits of victory in Ma Zongheng's hands, still remembered the incomparable pleasure. After all, since Ma Zongheng became famous, there are countless famous generals in Xiliang who have been defeated under him, if he can defeat Ma Zongheng again, or even annihilate, then he will definitely be shocked in the Xiliang army, and it is not impossible to become a general on a par with Xu Rong and Lu Bu!

Just when Dong Huang was secretly excited, Gao Shun frowned and said: "Although the thief army has transferred a lot of soldiers, don't forget that not long ago, Liu and Qiao also sent reinforcements. There are still more than 3,000 thieves in the army, and there are even more children of the Ma family to guard them, so they cannot be underestimated! ”

"Humph! As far as I know, half of the reinforcements that came were new recruits, and the thief army had suffered a crushing defeat before, and now that its vitality has not yet recovered, it is a good time for our army to break it in one fell swoop! Although Li Ru reminded Dong Huang that he should unite with the Bingzhou faction and listen to Gao Shun's opinions.

However, the current situation is too good, how can Dong Huang let go of this great opportunity to make a name for himself!

"What General Gao said is not good, I say, the time and place are favorable, and our army occupies all of them!" Cheng Long seemed to see Dong Huang's determination, and suddenly stood up and said in a condensed voice.

When Gao Shun heard this, his face sank, and he said, "I wish to listen to you!" ”

"Now the winter has passed, every day at night earlier, and the mountains and forests in the area of Hengwu, the so-called a leaf blinds, do not see Mount Tai, this is the time of the day. In addition, our army is familiar with the topography of Hengwu, and all the trails and avenues know how to reach them, which is also geographically advantageous. In the end, Ma Jia'er secretly took Pingyang, but before the attack, our army could order Xiaozuo to spread rumors in his army, and Liu and Qiaobu would definitely be suspicious. But our army can work together, break the thief, this is the people! Cheng Long has been following Li Ru for a long time, but he has learned some skills, and now Gao Shun's face changed, and he was speechless for a while.

When Dong Huang saw it, his confidence was shocked, and he laughed and said: "General Cheng's witty words, Huang admires him so much!" ”

So, Dong Huang discussed with Cheng Long and Gao Shun, of course, Gao Shun always had doubts, so he rarely spoke, and most of them were resolutions made by Dong Huang and Cheng Long. The two agreed. Dong Huang then acted according to the plan and made allocations.

Two days later, as Dong Huang expected, rumors spread in the Ma Zongheng camp, and Dong Huang was shocked, so he ordered all the armies to prepare, just before dusk to cook, as soon as it was dark, people from all walks of life attacked the enemy camp.

On the other side, in Ma Zongheng's tent, Gao Ran, Jiang Ming, Chen Shi and other generals were all waiting for Ma Zongheng's allocation.

"If I am not mistaken, the thieves will come and attack my camp tonight, but in case, I have instructed the fine to probe around the mouth of Hengwukou, but if the thieves start the stove in advance, then there is no doubt. When the time comes, I will give the order as soon as possible, and you should do what you have done earlier, and there will be no mistakes! ”

Ma Zongheng said this. Jiang Ming hesitated a little and asked, "Although the general's plan is wonderful, but the thieves have been defending Hengwu for many days, will Mo really abandon the solid land and go to attack Ye?" “

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help grinning, and said leisurely: "General Jiang, you are underestimating people's greedy heart for fame and fortune. Dong Huang is young, and he is deeply favored by Dong Zhuo, his status is very noble, and he wants to become famous as soon as possible, so as to plan for the future. Moreover, our army is now empty of troops, and the army's heart is turbulent, so what will happen if it were you? ”

Jiang Ming was obedient, his heart trembled, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but show a somewhat bitter smile: "If it were me, I really wouldn't have missed this great opportunity in vain." ”

"It's come to this, it's ready to fly, and it has to be sent. I am willing to obey the general's orders! At this time, Chen Shi's face was shocked, and his face was full of determination, and he said with emotion. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but show a little appreciation for him.

It turned out that on the day Zhang and Pang left, Ma Zongheng found Jiang Ming and Chen Shi to tell them openly and honestly, and Zhang and Pang left, all for the purpose of capturing Hedong, but they were afraid that the thieves would make a big fuss, so they explained to the two first.

Jiang Ming and Chen Shi listened to it at the time, and their faces changed at that time. However, Chen Shi reacted first, and soon chose to believe in Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng was also surprised by his attitude, and when he asked, he learned that all kinds of righteous deeds he had done in Changyuan had spread throughout Yanzhou, and Chen Shi had not long enlisted in the army, and he had heard the name of Ma Zongheng's benevolence and righteousness, so he believed it.

At that time, Ma Zongheng really felt the importance of fame. And Jiang Ming saw that Chen Shi believed it, and thought that Ma Zongheng had made a marriage contract with the Qiao family, so he should help him, so he was also willing to listen to Ma Zongheng's allocation.

So Ma Zongheng taught the two to report to their respective subordinates, deliberately pretending to be rumors and turbulent in the army's hearts to confuse the enemy.

What Ma Zongheng didn't expect was that both Jiang Ming's troops and the soldiers in Chen's army believed in him very much.

Later, Ma Zongheng suddenly discovered the wonder of Guo Jia's first trick, and was shocked!

It is said that Guo Jia first wanted Ma Zongheng to get close to Liu Dai, which not only relieved Liu Dai's jealousy of him, but also alienated Yuan Shao and Liu Dai.

In this way, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and Ma Zongheng formed the Yanzhou faction. Among them, Ma Zongheng is good at marching and fighting, and his style is brave, Liu Dai is happy to let Ma Zongheng make meritorious service for himself, and he also adds the rich bridge family as a supply for the rear army.

The treacherous and cunning Liu Dai will naturally protect his two subordinates in every possible way, and he is unwilling to part with them.

And Yuan Shao was not so stupid as to forcibly dismantle the Yanzhou faction, thus offending Liu Dai. Moreover, these three soldiers and horses come from the same state and county, and it is easy to integrate.

And Guo Jia's deeper meaning is only behind. He expected that the Yanzhou faction would be unique in the coalition army, and Liu and Qiao had no ambition to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army, so they would definitely rely on Ma Zongheng to charge for them on the front line. And with Ma Zongheng's continuous meritorious service, his prestige was shocked, and at the same time, coupled with the fame he had achieved in Yanzhou, the sergeants of the Yanzhou faction were naturally respected by everyone.

So the next step, if the time comes, as long as there is an opportunity, so that Ma Zongheng can gather the two of them to deploy, then when the time comes, it will be a matter of course.

This is the essence of Guo Jia's first tip!

This reason seems far-fetched, but Guo Jia, who has the title of 'ghost talent', has come up with a plan that ordinary people can think.

And in fact, if you want to prove it, it's very simple, if it is in the third bag, if there is really a mention of the deployment of Liu and Qiao, then all the doubts will be solved.

Thinking of this, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but take out the last bag, hesitated for a moment, and thought that Guo Jia had instructed that this last bag could only be opened if the coalition army and the Xiliang army were separated, and finally endured the rush in his heart and put it back in his arms.

At night, the horses were brightly lit in the camp, and in this particularly dark night, it looked like a behemoth with glowing hair.

Because of this, Dong Huang and his subordinates happily took it as a beacon and were lurking in the night towards various paths.

At this time, a series of gusts of wind came suddenly, and the branches and leaves of the mountains and forests shook, making a loud noise. Seeing the opportunity, several Xiliang soldiers hurriedly quickened their pace and approached the enemy camp.

"God help me too!! Tonight is over, Ma family child, next year today will be your death day!! Dong Huang led a large number of men and horses down from a mountain road, and suddenly saw a sudden fire dancing on both sides, and then quickly extinguished, and learned that the deployment on both sides had arrived, and he couldn't help but be bold.

"Prince, it's time to break the camp! Cheng Long is willing to be the first mover! Cheng Long was shocked, his eyes were like torches, and he shouted.

"Good! If you can break the thief camp, General Cheng should be the first to take credit!! Dong Huang's eyes also lit up, and as soon as he said that, with a gesture, all the soldiers immediately shook their spirits and made preparations.

"Kill~~!!" As soon as Dong Huang's gesture fell, the shouts suddenly rose, Cheng Long immediately rushed on his horse, and seventy or eighty black jackals and tigers instantly rushed up, like fierce tiger beasts, galloping away. At the same time, the gongs and horns suddenly sounded together, and the Bingzhou army of Gaoshun on both sides and another Xiliang army immediately shouted to kill together, hoping that the enemy camp would attack and leave.

"Trap the battle and listen to the order, use the wind and thunder array, quickly break through the enemy camp, and grab the first merit for me!!" Gao Shun roared, and the soldiers of the 800 trapping camp immediately shouted in unison, and rushed away like a gale. said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the three soldiers and horses pounced together, and Cheng Long led the black jackal tiger to rush in first, but saw that there were only lights in the camp, but there was no ghost. Immediately afterwards, Gao Shun also led the camp to rush in, and when he saw that there were no enemy soldiers around, Gao Shun's face changed greatly, and his heart jumped, and he subconsciously shouted: "Be careful of enemy attacks~~!" ”
