Zhu Liang guessed that the smoke in Xiangling City was ignited, and Mo Huaizhong sent people to inform the Yao Temple that the grain transport team was about to arrive, hoping to send troops to respond. As he was talking, he suddenly came to Guo Rong's fast horse newspaper, which confirmed Zhu Liang's judgment from the side.

Guo Rong reported that I set up camp at the foot of Ta'er Mountain, and scattered cavalry around to find the Jin people's grain team, and this afternoon, I finally found out! However, he did not come by land to hit my ambush circle, but took the waterway, and let the boat go from the Fen water, and I led my army to the water, and they came to the west bank; If you want to wade and launch an attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the other party not only to have a boat, but also to have soldiers who carry food.

Guo Rong then reported that I had sent someone to Fenxi to contact my brother Mrs. Guo, and that tomorrow I would set up camp ten miles southwest of the Yao Temple, near Fenshui, to prevent the enemy ships from approaching the east shore and sending grain to the Yao Temple; It is hoped that the king will also take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Yao Temple to prevent the Jin army from coming out and responding. As for the grain ship that can't be transported eastward, whether it will go west and transfer to Pingyang City, then there is only a brother to watch......

Shi Hu got the report, that is, to discuss with the generals in response to the current situation, and even the emergency, it was reasonable for the big guys to have a meeting to discuss, but Shi Hu's style of meeting was different from Shi Le and Pei Gai; Those two often don't express their opinions first, and let their subordinates speak freely, and Shi Hu is the same for situations that he doesn't know very well, or things that are difficult to decide for a while, but if he has an opinion, he is rarely willing to listen to the opinions of others.

Shi Hu's style is basically "I'm done, who's in favor?" Who is against? "He has been a general for many years, basically, those who dare to oppose have been subdued, and even died, most of the subordinates in front of him are acquaintances, even if they are under his command at the beginning, they have also heard of the temper of Taiwei and Taiyuan Wang, and no one dares to take the initiative to jump out to find uncomfortable, at most on the details, pick up the missing and make some supplements.

Shi Hu's opinions are mainly two: First, let Guo Rong approach the east bank of Fenshui to go into battle to prevent the enemy from transporting grain into Yaoci, and this report is feasible. As for the west bank, Guo Tai was ordered to find an opportunity to rob this grain team, but at the same time, he ordered Guo Tai to be cautious, and if the grain team approached Pingyang City, it should not rush in, and it was necessary to prevent an ambush.

Because Binh Duong is a big city, it is bound to be rich in grain, and it is not afraid to transport another sum into it. Zhao Jun was worried that if the grain was transported into the Yao Temple, the morale of the Jin people would be boosted, and the garrison would be more solid, so it would not be easy to fight. Therefore, if you transport to the east coast, I must block it, and if you transport it to the west coast, it will not matter much, and you can even let it go.

If this grain team wants to enter Pingyang City, there must be a strategy in the city, if it takes the opportunity to set a trap to lure Guo Tai to attack, Guo Tai accidentally steps into the trap, and the trouble will be greater. Shi Hu hopes that Mrs. Guo, or Chen Chuan, will lure the Jin people out of the city, but the problem is that you have to lead them by the nose and pull them as far away as possible, so that it is convenient for me to cross the Fen and return to the division and encircle and annihilate on the plain. Even if there is a fierce battle for an hour or two, I may not be able to catch up, but the other party will be able to return to the city as soon as he pulls his legs......

It must be considered that the Jin people have a strong city to rely on, and they can use the city wall as a barrier to restrict the mobility of Guo Tai's cavalry to a certain extent. After all, Mrs. Guo is only 3,000 horsemen, but the Jin people in the city are around 10,000, in case they are bitten, Hugh said that the odds of winning, even the whole division retreats is more difficult.

Therefore, he warned Mrs. Guo that you can try to rob the Jin people of grain and grass, but if the grain team approaches Pingyang City and the city sends troops to respond, it is better for you to hurry away and stay away, and don't fall into the trap.

Shi Hu's second opinion is to postpone the attack on the enemy camp of Yaoci tomorrow, but do not send the elite and ambush it to the south. Wang Ze is likely to send troops south to meet the grain team, and when the time comes, he plans to let them out first, and then cut off their way back with an ambush, and then cooperate with Guo Rong to besiege and annihilate them.

In this way, the Jin army will not only reduce its strength, but its morale will also suffer a heavy setback, and if it launches a thunderous attack the day after tomorrow, it will break Wang Ze! After defeating this Jin reinforcement, the Zhao army could turn around and attack Pingyang again.

To be honest, Zhu Liang has quite doubts about this second point, mainly because he doesn't think that Mo Huaizhong must send grain to the Yao Temple, and Wang Ze may not send troops to meet him......

Why? Taiwei only thought that the enemy of Yaoci was running out of grain, so he was in a hurry to ask for food, but he didn't expect that they would lose the northern base, and even the drinking water was about to run out. If there is no water and only food, how can we continue to live? Therefore, in the current situation, it is really not appropriate to let go of the gap in order to prevent the enemy from breaking through the encirclement and escaping.

But think about it again, this is just a small problem, after all, according to Zhu Liang's prediction, the Jin people's grain and straw are enough to eat for nearly ten days, absorbing the well water in the Yao Temple, the soldiers are thirsty for a day and a half, and they may not lose their combat effectiveness. The key is that judging from today's daytime battle, the Jin people are still extremely tenacious in guarding the north and south bases, and they have no desire to retreat. Theoretically, tomorrow they should concentrate all their forces in the quest to retake the northern base, without immediately retreating, and it is estimated that they will not spend their precious time and combat strength on receiving food and grass.

Let the Taiwei temporarily stop the south and send troops to ambush, at most a day's time will be wasted, and it should not affect the overall situation.

The main reason is that Shi Hu has a short temper and is stubborn, so Zhu Liang doesn't dare to fight him easily. Zhu Liang just proposed: "Taiwei has seen thousands of miles, and what he said is very true. However, the Jin people are losing the north base today, and they will inevitably lack drinking water, which is a serious disaster, and they are afraid that they will try to regain the north base and water sources tomorrow, so they must be prevented. ”

Shi Hu was still able to listen to these correct opinions that did not go against his will, and immediately nodded: "Reasonable." Why don't I set up an ambush in Beilei tomorrow, and wait for the Jin people to come, and then I can kill them! ”

Early the next morning, Shi Hu set a trap in the north base, and he ordered his troops to lead Wang Hua to defend, and when the Jin people came to attack, he could pretend not to support it, and he was slightly behind; Don't send Zhang Xiong to set up an ambush in the base, try to flank the enemy on three sides, and deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

At the same time, the team besieging the southern base was slightly withdrawn, making way of the gap, and ordered Zhang Raccoon to lead 2,000 elite soldiers to ambush on the side, and when the Jin people broke through the siege and went south to the shore of Fenshui to respond, they could be killed and cut off their back road.

All the orders were set, Shi Hu sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, with a horizontal knife on his knees, waiting for the news. Zhu Liang asked for his order and asked respectfully: "The last official said to the Taiwei yesterday that Chen Chuan is cunning and untrustworthy, and I hope that the Taiwei will send another general to guard Xiping City......

Shi Hu let out an "oh" and said: "The big war is coming, there are so many things, I actually forgot about this matter...... paused for a moment, and then said: "All the generals have been assigned, and there is no one who can replace Chen Chuan for the time being." Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it after today's war. Zhu Liang didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to retreat.

When it was approaching, Nanlei reported: "The Jin people really came out in a big way and destroyed my antlers, with the intention of breaking the siege." Shi Hu couldn't help laughing and said, "Sure enough, it's as expected!" ”

He knew very well that the Jin people's strength was limited, and they were outnumbered, so he judged that the other party would send troops south to receive grain and grass, and Zhu Liang judged that the other party would go all out to recapture the northern base, and the two could go hand in hand on the surface, but in fact, Wang Ze did not have the strength and determination to have both fish and bear's paws. Therefore, either the south should be attacked, or the north should be attacked, and one of them must be taken, and the final facts have proved that Lao Tzu's prediction of the enemy's situation is even higher than that of the generals, and Zhu Liang is known as wise, but in fact, it is nothing more than that.

Now that he had accurate news, Shi Hu couldn't sit still, so he immediately got out of the big tent, mounted his spear, and led hundreds of his own soldiers straight to the southern base, he wanted to be on the front line of the battle, so that he could adjust the deployment in time. When he arrived outside the south base, he had to report that Guo Rong had set up camp close to Fenshui to prevent the Jin people's grain team from landing on the shore, but looking at it, they didn't seem to have the intention of coming to the Yao Temple......

Shi Hu nodded and said: "Since Guo Rong has arrived, and the enemy ship is not coming, it is just right to cooperate with Zhang Raccoon to attack from the north and south to eat the Jin people's southward echoing department." Then he asked, what is the current situation in Nanlei, and how many soldiers and horses did Wang Ze send south to meet the grain team?

As soon as the words came out, Shi Hu vaguely sensed that something was wrong...... was still groaning, and suddenly Zhang Raccoon sent someone to report urgently, saying: "The Jin people broke through the siege and went south, and there was an endless stream of departments, and there were nearly 10,000!" The last general hurried forward to intercept, but it was difficult to win......"

Shi Hu suddenly realized, and immediately patted his thigh hatefully: "Wang Ze, a gut bandit, he actually wants to run!" ”

Only then did he react, where did that strange feeling come from just now According to Guo Rong's report, the Jin grain team did not have the intention of approaching the east bank of Fenshui, so in this case, why did the Jin army of Yaoci launch a surprise attack to the south? Last night, you lit a fire in Xiangling, Pingyang, and even in the Yao Ancestral Hall, and you didn't even know if I came, and you couldn't tell if you wanted to pick it up?

So since the grain ship has not arrived, at least it has not arrived, and the Jin people's southward assault will not be divided into troops to respond, but they want to run!

Shi Hu is so angry, and said in his heart that I just conquered the north base yesterday, Wang Ze, you didn't think about regaining it once, so you smeared oil on the soles of your feet? I'm still a brave soldier for you, I don't want to be so cowardly!

He was based on erroneous intelligence, thinking that the Jin army's grain and grass could barely support eight or nine days; However, the actual situation is that I am afraid that in three days, Wang Ze will run out of food, so even if he desperately recovers the northern base and recaptures the water source, what is the use? Food, grass, drinking water, one point is missing, you can still fight hard, both points are missing, if Wang Ze still hopes to solve these two problems in two or three days, then his arrogance, I am afraid that even Shi Hu will be out of reach.

It's just that Wang Ze originally wanted to see what moves Pingyang had made, whether it could be a Jedi counterattack, if the battle situation showed no signs of improvement throughout the day today, then it would not be too late to sneak out of the camp at night and retreat south.

Who wants to get up in the morning to inspect the battalions and look at the enemy situation by the way, only to find that the enemy who originally monitored the southern base seems to be much more sparse than before...... How can we not seize such a great opportunity? Before the army could attack, I would go south with the whole division, make a breakthrough, and then rush back to Jiangyi in one go!

As for why the Qianjun army made a false siege in the south, Wang Ze couldn't understand, maybe it was because Pingyang sent troops out of the city and contained some enemy soldiers? Last night, he contacted Pingyang with Beacon, and the message given by Wang Ze was:

"Siege. Reinforcements don't come. I'll go south. ”

According to the local situation at that time, it can be accurately interpreted as: "The enemy is very urgent to encircle me, and it is not easy to transport grain, so it is better to go to Pingyang first." And I will also break through to the south in the near future. ”

The message from Binh Duong was:

"Reinforcements are coming. I will act. Please, hold on. ”

The specific explanation is: "It is agreed that the grain transportation will not be to Yao Temple, but temporarily enter Pingyang." I will take action in the next few days in order to deal with your army, and I hope that your army will hold out for a few more days. ”

Therefore, Pingyang should send troops to contain the Zhao army, resulting in most of the soldiers and horses monitoring the southern base being withdrawn, and this possibility does exist.

Of course, it is not excluded that Shi Hu will plan and set a trap to lure the Jin army to abandon Yaoci and go south, in fact, there are soldiers and horses in front of him...... However, in Wang Ze's mind, there must be a premise for Shi Hu's plan, that is: it is predicted that the Jin army will abandon the siege within a few days, and the direction is due south, and the target is Jiangyi! If Shi Hu really expected this step, then even if he didn't move now, and then broke through in the evening, the possibility of success was still quite slim......

Go now, there is a possibility of falling into a trap; Walking at night, you will also fall into a trap; If you don't leave for the time being, it is estimated that you will not be able to survive...... In that case, it's better to fight!

Withdrawing during the day has the advantage of withdrawing during the day, because the soldiers are easy to organize during the day, and it is convenient for them to recognize the way. If, in the dark, there is a sudden ambush and the field of vision cannot be far away, it is difficult to judge from which direction the enemy soldiers are covering and killing, and people will inevitably instinctively develop fear. And in the daytime, as long as the morale is strong enough, the soldiers are brave enough, and the command is quite effective, even if there are ten thousand troops in front of me, I am not without a chance to break through.

The key is that morale can be boosted but not discharged, if the soldiers are not cowardly, in order to kill the life, they can burst out more powerful than the ordinary. Therefore, Wang Ze's plan was established, so he immediately summoned the generals and announced the "pre-war mobilization" of 10,000 people in the whole army.

Wang Ze said: "Gentlemen, the current trend of stealing me must be known to all you. The thief is more than three times as strong as me, and Shi Hu is brave and good at fighting, and I can only resist it by relying on the Yao Temple and the new barriers. However, now that the northern base has fallen, there is a lack of drinking water, and it is difficult to defend it again, so the only way to break the siege and retreat to Jiangyi is to rest a little, and then seek to go north to rescue Pingyang.

"There are 30,000 or 40,000 thieves, besieging them on all sides, and their momentum is also thin, but if I kill them together, they will be difficult to intercept. If you don't have enough drinking water today, you will die if you defend it, and you can only be safe when you retreat. And Shi Hu has always been fierce and unkind, and he has destroyed cities, trampled on ridges, slaughtered soldiers and women, and mutilated the people, so I can only die in battle, and I must not surrender! Even if you surrender, you will not be exempt from death, but will suffer endless humiliation, and as for the parents, wives and children at home, they will also be stigmatized for a long time!

"You can only go south from me, and there is still a glimmer of life. has to return to Jiangyi, and there will be a day of revenge from the north. Even if you die in battle, although you die like life, your comrades will always remember your kindness and your family.

"If you go south, you can live, if you stay here, you will die, I will lead all the kings to go with you, and I will return to Jiangyi, in order to take revenge!"
