Lü Bu established the staff headquarters system, Pang Tong returned to Mount Tai, and immediately held a sand table meeting.

What he brought back from Pengcheng was not only the strategic deployment made at the first sand table meeting, but also the methods of making sand tables on the battlefield.

In the Xuzhou military camp at the foot of Mount Tai, a brand-new sand table is placed in Pang Tong's tent.

Chen Zhi, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan looked at the sand table with a confused expression, and then looked at Pang Tong next to the sand table.

"I have brought you the orders of the lord." Pang Tong said: "When I was in Pengcheng, the lord announced the establishment of a staff headquarters system, and also asked us to return to the battlefield and use this method to specify specific strategies. ”

The generals who had never participated in the sand table meeting looked at Pang Tong blankly one by one.

They didn't know what the staff headquarters system was, they only knew that in the order that Pang Tong brought back, he was appointed chief of the general staff, and Chen Zhi replaced him as the chief general.

"It's called a sand table." Looking at the sand table in front of him, Pang Tong said: "The sand table simulates the terrain of the entire Mount Tai. Now we are located here. ”

As he spoke, he planted a small green flag on the sand table, and then said: "Yuan Tan has led 40,000 troops and is heading to Mount Tai." His location is not simulated on the sand table, but I think he will enter the territory of Tarzan from this place. ”

Inserting a small white flag on the top of the upper part of the sand table, Pang Tong continued: "After entering Mount Tai, the first thing they have to do is to conquer the city, and then enter Xuzhou. ”

"It seems that the place where we are can't protect the whole of Tarzan." When Pang Tong talked about the strategic deployment, the generals finally understood, and Sun Guan was the first to question it.

"That's true." Pang Tong said: "We can send an order to all localities to prepare and move the people to Xuzhou first." Whichever city Yuan Tan attacks, we will give it to him. ”

Speaking of this, Pang Tong grinned: "Actually, Taishan has no city to give him at all." ”

The generals also laughed and shook their heads.

There is indeed no decent city in Taishan County that is worth grabbing for Yuan Tan, and Lu Bu develops the economy of various places, and of course Taishan will not be left out.

But this place is too close to Qingzhou, and many businessmen just choose Mount Tai as the road to pass, and do not regard this place as their final destination.

It is for this reason that the business of the pavilions in Taishan is particularly good, while the other businesses are just average.

"What is General Pang's plan, it is better to say it directly, and we will carry it out." Chen Zhi said to Pang Tong: "When it comes to arranging troops and strategizing, there is no one here who can match the general's back. ”

"You can't say that." Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "Chu Hou summoned me back this time and said a lot of things that made me have a deep memory. In particular, he told me that one person can think of more than a group of people. That's why I've just come back this time, and I'm going to get you all together and discuss how to use the troops next. ”

Chen Zhi, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan glanced at each other, and Sun Guan asked, "Didn't General Pang bring back the strategy from Pengcheng?" ”

"Of course I brought it back." Pang Tong's fingers slid on the sand table, and he said to the generals: "At that time, I proposed to intercept the enemy army here, but Zhou Gongjin thought that we should make full use of the advantages of the Bai Wei army, and the large army would stop Yuan Tan, and the Bai Wei army would bypass them and seize the city of Qingzhou. Yuan Tan suffered the enemy on his back, he must return to the army to help, and our army can win the battle of Mount Tai. ”

Everyone listened to Pang Tong's introduction and nodded one after another.

Chen Zhi asked: "There is indeed no problem with the strategy brought back by General Pang, but the framework is too large, and it is difficult for us to implement it. Can you break down the whole strategy, what are we responsible for? If it is to intercept enemy forces, where should they be deployed? If it is to destroy the enemy's army, where should it start? ”

"I've been thinking about it all the way." Pang Tong replied: "In fact, Mount Tai has always been a barrier between Xuzhou and Qingzhou for Chuhou, and this is where the Qingzhou army once stationed, but the families of the Qingzhou army have all moved to Xuzhou. In fact, Mount Tai has long become a county abandoned by the Marquis of Chu, even if there will be some investment here in the future, it is the Xuzhou army that enters Qingzhou, and Mount Tai will be transferred from the battlefield to the rear, and a large amount of money and grain will be injected in. ”

"The border has always been like this, and what we want to know is what kind of plan General Pang has for the defense of Mount Tai." Zang Ba said: "We have also been in contact with Yuan Tan, and he is really not incompetent. Especially the staff and generals around him, most of them are capable figures. To go to war with him, we can't take the war too simply. ”

"What did I just say?" Pang Tong said with a smile: "Chu Hou told me that one person can think about far less than a group of people can think about it. What General Zang mentioned was something we hadn't considered before. ”

"General Zang, who are Yuan Tan's subordinates?" Pang Tong asked him.

"Yuan Tan's strategists include Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers, and the fierce generals on the battlefield include Wang Zhao, Cen Bi, Peng An and others." Zang Ba said: "None of these people are mediocre talents, they followed Yuan Tan in the past, and they also made a lot of contributions to the Yuan family. To deal with them, we must not just follow the deployment on the sand table and deal with them in a specific way, but also according to the deployment of the enemy's troops. ”

"I remember that there was a man named Zhang Nan, who had some skills." Pang Tong asked, "Isn't he in Qingzhou?" ”

Zang Ba and Sun Guan glanced at each other.

Sun Guan replied: "General Pang may not know much about the Yuan family, Zhang Nan is not Yuan Tan's general, but Yuan Xi's general. ”

Pang Tong suddenly said: "I see." ”

"Generals." He changed his words and said to everyone: "I plan to deploy defenses here according to the original plan to intercept Yuan Tan's southward journey to Xuzhou. It's just a small change in specific tactics. ”

Pang Tong was about to deploy the mission, and the generals all stood up straighter.

His eyes fell on Chen Zhi's face, and Pang Tong said: "The adjustment made is mainly General Chen's Bai Wei army, you set up an ambush in the place where Yuan Tan is about to enter Mount Tai, and don't get into a decisive battle with them all the way, and lead them here." ”

Looking at the place Pang Tong pointed, Chen Zhi asked, "Just lead here?" ”

"Just leading here." Pang Tong said: "When they get here, I will make other arrangements." ”

"I see." Chen Zhi responded.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan asked Pang Tong, "General Pang, what are we doing?" ”

"The two generals led the soldiers to set up defenses here, waiting for Yuan Tan to come." Pang Tong said: "All generals must remember that Mount Tai is the barrier to the north of Xuzhou, and once we are defeated, Yuan Tan will drive the chairman straight into Xuzhou. Chu Hou once told me that there are five ways to attack the enemy, and if any one of them enters Xuzhou, we may be completely defeated. Remember, generals, that the enemy can afford to lose, but we can't afford to lose. Once the war starts, it is necessary to stop the enemy army outside Xuzhou. ”

"General Pang, rest assured, we will not retreat." The crowd responded in unison.

********************************************

Pang Tong made adjustments in deployment, and Yuan Tan was leading the army to Mount Tai.

Previously, he had allocated 3,000 men and horses to Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei would support Cao Cao in Mount Tai to send troops, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to go to Mount Tai, so he defeated them.

The three thousand soldiers were all wiped out, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were nowhere to be found.

The army set out from Qingzhou and advanced all the way in the direction of Mount Tai.

Seeing that he was about to reach the border of Mount Tai, Yuan Tan said to the generals and staff members who followed beside him: "You have also heard the news that Liu Xuande was defeated here. He has been in the world for many years, and it is impossible to say that he has no ability, not to mention that there are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side. In my opinion, it's not that Liu Xuande is too weak, but that Pang Tong under Lu Bu is too strong, and our crusade against Mount Tai is precisely to fight with them, so you have to be cautious. ”

"The general has led the troops for many years, and Qingzhou was a mess back then, wasn't it pacified by the general?" A middle-aged man walking on the left side of Yuan Tan replied: "Why haven't you reached Mount Tai this time, but you have no confidence?" ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was not tall, with thin cheeks and a sparse beard floating on his chin, which was none other than Yuan Tan's staff member Xin Ping.

Glancing at Xin Ping, Yuan Tan smiled slightly: "It's not that I have no confidence, it's just that before the war, I thought the enemy was stronger, and when the two armies were fighting, I wouldn't be caught off guard because I thought the enemy was too weak." ”

"Or the general has a vision." On the other side, he looked a little similar to Xin Ping, but instead of having a beard on his chin, a middle-aged man with a pair of eight-character mustaches said: "Before Pang Shiyuan joined Lu Bu, I had heard of his name. This person is ugly in appearance but has a lot of intelligence, has traveled many times to visit famous teachers, and has a lot of insight into the world's major events. It is said that she uses soldiers like a god, and has the ability to defeat but win. Although I think it may be an exaggeration to say this about him, it is not wrong to be cautious when encountering such an opponent. ”

Xin Ping and Xin Bi are two brothers, and they are also very talented staff members under Yuan Shao.

Since Yuan Tan came to Qingzhou, they have been following him, but Yecheng has gone back less.

After getting along for several years, Yuan Tan also relies on the two of them very much, and many things will be discussed with the two of them before making decisions.

sent troops to attack Lu Bu, and Yuan Tan would of course bring them with him.

Taishan County got its name because Mount Tai is in the territory.

The terrain of this place is complex, the mountains are stacked, and most of them are mountains, and it is a rare place where mountains and rivers are continuous in the east of the Central Plains.

The army was walking, and a fast horse came to meet them.

The one who galloped on his horse was a scout sent by Yuan Tan earlier.

When he came to Yuan Tan, the scout reported to him: "General Qiyu, there are many mountains ahead, and Pang Tong sent Chen Zhi to lead 5,000 Baiwei troops to deploy defenses here, intending to stop our army. ”

"The White Army?" Yuan Tan smiled coldly: "This name is very funny." ”

"Don't be funny, General." Xin Bi said to Yuan Tan again: "I have also heard of Uncle Chen, who is so brave and has the ability to take the head of a general from ten thousand troops. After joining Lu Bu, he drew 5,000 veterans from the army to form the Baiwei Army. Bai Weijun got its name because Chen Shuzhi asked each of them to dye their eyebrows white, which looked very eye-catching. ”

"Uncle Chen has a special habit." Yuan Tan shook his head with a smile: "For no reason, what kind of white did you dye your eyebrows?" ”

"This has to ask why Uncle Chen did that." Xin Bi replied: "Although his habits are eccentric, the combat power of the Baiwei Army should not be underestimated, and the general must not be careless. ”

Yuan Tan nodded and shouted to the side: "Cen Bi, you lead two thousand men and horses to open the way, if you meet Chen Shuzhi, you will fight with him first." Don't be in a fight, no matter how strong or weak the enemy is, be ready to defend as soon as you come and go, and wait for me to make peace with you. ”

A general walked out from behind Yuan Tan.

This person carried a nine-ring machete, and after leaving the ranks, he bowed to Yuan Tan: "The last general will take the first step!" ”

Cen Bi was ordered to lead 2,000 people to go quickly and drive in the direction of Mount Tai.

At this time, on the border between Qingzhou and Mount Tai, Chen Zhi led the Baiwei army to line up there.

Pang Tong asked him to wait for Yuan Tan here, and led Yuan Tan to the place where the defense had been deployed, he came here early in the morning, waiting for Yuan Tan to come.

The scout reported that Yuan Tan was still not a short distance away from here, but his general Cen Bizheng led two thousand Yuan troops to this side quickly.

Hearing that there were 2,000 Yuan troops coming, Chen Zhi shouted to the soldiers of the Baiwei Army who were lined up behind him: "Soldiers, Yuan Tan underestimated us and only sent 2,000 men and horses to come, you say, how should we fight this battle?" ”

The 5,000 Baiwei Army were all veterans in the army, and before joining the Baiwei Army, they all crawled out of the pile of dead.

Hearing Chen Zhi shout, the soldiers responded one after another: "As long as they come, let them have no return." ”

Obviously very satisfied with the soldiers' answers, Chen Zhi smiled: "That's right, as long as they dare to come, let them come and go, and give Yuan Tan a dismount." ”

He then instructed the lieutenant beside him: "You lead a thousand soldiers armed with repeating crossbows to set up ambushes on both sides, and when I kill Cen Bi, then kill from the side and shoot the enemy with repeating crossbows." ”

The lieutenant received the order and beckoned a thousand men armed with repeating crossbows to follow him to ambush on both sides.

There were still 4,000 Baiwei troops behind him, and Chen Zhi was carrying a halberd, looking at the direction where the enemy army was coming, his eyes were full of longing for battle.

It has been a few days since he followed Lu Bu, and Chen Zhi has also made many feats on the battlefield.

But like this time, as a vanguard, you encounter the enemy vanguard, and there are not many opportunities to plan to come to a war of annihilation as soon as you come up.

When he learned that Yuan Tan ordered Cen Bi to lead two thousand men and horses to come, he had already made a plan, no matter what, this time Cen Bi must not be allowed to go back unharmed.

As long as they enter Mount Tai, they must meet the blow head-on and give Yuan Tan a dismount first!

The soldiers of the Baiwei Army lined up behind him were also in the same mood.

Many of them have long been unable to remember how many battles they have fought in the army.

They have seen how many former companions have died on the battlefield, and how many enemy soldiers have been killed with their own hands, and they have not had much impression.

The only thing they knew was that in the near future, an enemy army would arrive, and they, the soldiers who made war their profession, would once again use their talents on the battlefield.

Many soldiers of the Baiwei Army even thought that they were born to belong to the battlefield, but after serving Lu Bu, they really brought this innate ability to the extreme.

Since the Marquis of Chu gave them the opportunity to display their talents, how could they not cherish them? How could they allow the enemy to swagger past their eyes?

Cen Bi, who was rushing here, and the Yuan army led by him were destined to become the sacrifices used by the Bai Wei army to sacrifice the flag!

************************************************

Cen Bi is a general under Yuan Tan, and since Yuan Tan came to Qingzhou, he has been following him left and right.

In the crusade against Kong Rong and other local heroes in Qingzhou, Cen Bi has made a lot of contributions to Yuan Tan, and he has also been appreciated and reused by Yuan Tan.

The nine-ring machete in his hand no longer knows how many enemy generals have been killed.

Yuan Tan ordered him to take the first step and engage Chen Zhi, and Cen Bi, who thought that he would make meritorious contributions again, happily went.

Although he had heard of Chen Zhi's name, Cen Bi thought that the other party should have never met a capable general, otherwise he would not have been rampant until now.

Since he bumped into him this time, it should be Chen Zhi's bad luck.

Although Yuan Tan specially instructed not to fight with Chen Zhilian, Cen Bi didn't take it to heart at all.

He was even pondering, seeing Chen Zhi take his life in a battle, and go back to ask Yuan Tan for credit.

The soldiers of the Yuan army who followed Cen Bi were all veterans he had led for several years, and every Yuan army had fought on the battlefield.

Whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons in later generations, veterans are treasures on the battlefield.

They have a wealth of experience in fighting and know how to save their lives and those of their comrades on the battlefield.

In the face of the bloody battlefield, the veterans have been fully mentally prepared.

Veterans who have been on the battlefield will not be as flustered as recruits.

They will maintain enough will to fight in the harshest of environments.

Because veterans know that panic will only make them die faster, and even if they are defeated, an orderly retreat can ensure that more people can live.

The two thousand veterans behind him are Cen Bi's guts.

And Cen Bi is the pride of the two thousand veterans.

Quickly driving to Mount Tai, they quickly threw Yuan Tan's army away without a trace.

Seeing that the border between Mount Tai and Qingzhou was close at hand, Cen Bi shouted: "Soldiers, speed up the march, and when you break through Chen, I ask the general to give each of you a chance to sleep with a woman!" ”

Yuan Tan's subordinate army has always had a tradition of taking Mei Ji to the battle.

Mei Ji is divided into several classes, and the high-grade national color is Tianxiang, of course, it is enjoyed by Yuan Tan and his closest generals and staff.

Medium, on the other hand, is good-looking, mostly for officers.

In fact, the inferior beauty can no longer be said to be a beauty queen, but just some ordinary-looking women.

These women are sent every day by low-ranking soldiers in the army.

Even so, due to the large number of officers and soldiers in the army, and the number of Mei Ji cannot be so sufficient, many soldiers will not have the opportunity to vent a man's most primitive desire for a long time.

Especially ordinary soldiers with low status, when they have the opportunity to sleep with a woman, they will feel that they are favored by God.

The promise given by Cen Bi is undoubtedly the best encouragement to the soldiers.

The two thousand Yuan troops shouted "General is mighty", and followed Cen Bi to speed up their march.

had already entered the border of Mount Tai, and had not gone far, Cen Bi saw a group of men and horses appear in front of him.

The group was about twice as numerous as them, and waited in front of them, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Cen Bi knew that the people waiting there should be the Chen Dao mentioned when the scout reported earlier.

Reining in his mount, Cen Bi stopped the soldiers' advance.

He pointed forward and shouted, "Soldiers, in front should be Chen Zhi's Baiwei Army." Let me ask you, do you find it funny when you hear this name? ”

Most of the two thousand Yuan Jun didn't know what was funny, and they still let out a dry laugh in embarrassment,

Finding that the soldiers were not very satisfied with their laughter, Cen Bi shouted again: "The team on the opposite side was named Bai Weijun by Chen. I want to ask you who will be white-haired? Except for those who are born sick, isn't it only the old man who is dying that will have gray hair? ”

Speaking of this, he raised his face and laughed: "It's ridiculous that Chen actually led a group of old men to fight with us." They're all old guys on the verge of death, but we're still strong warriors. Not to mention only half more than us. Even if there were more, what would it do to us? ”

As soon as Cen Bi shouted like this, the soldiers understood what he meant, and their laughter was much more natural than just now.

"Are you afraid to deal with a group of old guys who are going to die?" Cen Bi asked the soldiers of Yuan Jun in a loud voice.

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers replied with confidence, as if they were ready to rush forward immediately and be completely prepared to destroy the Bai Wei army.

"Since you're not afraid, follow me and kill them all." Cen Bi shouted: "Soldiers, kill me." ”

With Cen Bi's order, two thousand Yuan soldiers followed behind him, and let out a burst of shouts and rushed towards Bai Weijun's side.

Getting closer and closer to the Bai Wei army, Cen Bi stopped the soldiers again.

He found that the White Guards were already waiting for them with their bows and arrows.

As long as they ran a dozen more steps further and came within range of their bows and arrows, the White Guards would greet them with arrows.

Stopping the soldiers, Cen Bi carried the nine-ring broadsword and shouted to Chen Zhi on the opposite side: "You are Chen Dao?" ”

"I'm Chen Dao, and you're Cen Bi who came here to die?" Chen Zhi asked rhetorically.

Cen Bi replied: "I am Cen Bi, but I came here to borrow something from you, not to send you to death." ”

"The two armies are fighting, and you actually came to me to borrow something?" Chen Zhi smiled indifferently: "Say, what do you want to borrow?" ”

"Lend you the head of the item, and please General Chen don't be stingy, I will return you when I run out." Perhaps because he felt that he was talking funny, Cen Bi raised his face and laughed.

Chen Zhi said unhurriedly: "My head is here, if you have the ability, just take it." It's just that I'll say the ugly things first, if you don't have enough ability and throw the head here with me, don't blame me for not lending you things and getting benefits from you. ”

failed to provoke Chen Dao, but was ridiculed by him, Cen Bi's face turned cold, and he snorted and said, "What a sharp tooth, do you dare to fight alone with me?" ”

Determined that Chen Zhi was not his opponent, Cen Bi provoked and wanted to fight alone.

Chen Zhi was afraid of him, and said to him: "You are looking for death yourself, but you can't blame me." ”

The soldiers of the Yuan army who followed Cen Bi here were obviously very confident in his martial arts.

When Chen Zhi agreed to fight alone, the soldiers of the Yuan army beat their shields with their weapons and let out bursts of cheers.

Compared with Yuan Jun, the soldiers of the Baiwei Army brought by Chen Zhi were much quieter.

The soldiers lined up in a neat formation, facing Yuan's army.

None of the soldiers of the Bai Wei Army cheered like Yuan Jun, as if they didn't care whether Chen Zhi would win or lose in this heads-up.

Bai Weijun didn't cheer, and Cen Bi thought that they didn't have confidence in Chen Zhi.

Raising the hand holding the nine-ring broadsword, stopping the cheers of the soldiers of the Yuan army, he shouted to Chen Zhi: "The soldiers you brought are not cheering for you, it can be seen that they also think that you are certain to die, why do you need me to bother, it is better to make a decision yourself, and save me trouble." ”

"My soldiers just think you're like a bunch of clowns." Chen Zhi smiled: "Jumping around, when I will be beheaded, then I will really lose face even if I die." ”

was robbed by Chen Zhi, and Cen Bi's face became very ugly.

He roared and rushed towards Chen Zhi with a big knife.

Chen rode his horse to greet him, and seeing that the two war horses were about to stagger, he handed the halberd in his hand forward.

Cen Bi saw the halberd stabbing coming, and hurriedly raised the big knife to block.

The halberd stabbed the blade, Chen Zhi's wrist flicked, and then slid down the edge of the big knife, and the moment he and Cen Bi staggered, the halberd penetrated Cen Bi's body.

Cen Bi, who had never met an opponent on the battlefield, was actually picked off by Chen Zhi just as soon as he fought, and the two thousand Yuan soldiers he brought opened their mouths slightly in shock, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

The war horse ran past Cen Bi, Chen Zhi grabbed the reins to stop it, and then turned around and walked towards Cen Bi, who had been pierced through the chest and fell to the ground.

When he came to Cen Bi's corpse, he made a seemingly casual stroke with the halberd in his hand pointing downward.

Cen Bi's head left his neck, and Chen Zhi picked it up against the halberd.

The White Wings lined up behind him did not cheer until this time.

The main general died in battle, and the Yuan army, which had no backbone, retreated one after another.

Before they could retreat a few steps, a thousand white army that had been lying in ambush on the flanks and flanks rushed out.

The Bai Weijun who rushed out was holding a repeating crossbow, and before he appeared, he kept pulling the machine spring.

Countless arrows flew towards the Yuan army, and the Yuan army, which was slowly retreating, fell one after another.

At the same time, the 4,000 Bai Xuan army behind Chen Zhi also opened their bows and arrows and fired arrows at Yuan's army.

The arrows staggered in mid-air to form a dense arrow net, and Yuan Jun, who was shrouded in the arrow net, ignored the front and flanks, and fell into the arrow net one after another.

When the last Yuan army fell, Chen Zhi raised his hand and motioned for the Bai army to stop firing arrows.

Where the staggered arrow nets disappeared, only pieces of Yuan Jun's corpses remained.

The two thousand Yuan troops brought by Cen Bi were killed without any defense.

None of Yuan's troops escaped, and all of them were shot under the arrow net, which was obviously beyond Chen Zhi's expectations.

He thought that no matter how tightly he deployed, he would never wipe out all 2,000 people, but a miracle happened in front of his eyes.

Riding a horse to the fallen Yuan army, Chen Zhi used his halberd to pick away several Yuan soldiers who had been shot.

Almost every corpse had at least five or six arrows stuck in it, and most of them were fired from repeating crossbows.

The repeating crossbow, the first time it was used on the battlefield, it exerted unexpected power.

"Bury the bodies." Chen Zhi instructed the soldiers of the Baiwei Army: "Just wait for Yuan Tan here, and when he comes, we will have a good fight." ”

*****************************************

Cen Bi was killed, and he was thrown off the horse by Chen Zhi in less than a round, which was obviously not expected by Yuan Tan.

After getting this news, Yuan Tan was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

He swallowed his saliva, and after a while he said to Xin Ping and Xin Bi on the side: "I didn't expect Chen Shuzhi to have such a ability, even Cen Bi is not his one-in-one general." ”

"It can be seen that the enemy troops guarding Mount Tai are not good at stubble." Xin Ping said to Yuan Tan: "When we enter Mount Tai, we have to be careful." ”

Yuan Tan nodded.

Xin Bi next to him said: "I don't think Uncle Chen is strong, I think it must be Cen Bi who is too light on the enemy, and he didn't care when he was fighting, otherwise with his ability, how could he be easily picked by Chen Zhi?" ”

"What do you mean......" Xin Bi refused to believe that Chen Zhi could pick Cen Bi with one shot, Yuan Tan said: "The news sent back by the scout just now should not be false at all. ”

"I know that the news sent back by the scout is true, I just think that Cen Bi is underestimating the enemy, and I don't mean anything else." Xin Bi replied: "If the general feels that the enemy army is too strong, we might as well turn around and go back, so why continue to Taishan?" ”

"Father has given an order for us to seize Mount Tai and then enter Xuzhou, is it just because of a small defeat, we have to retreat?" Yuan Tan said: "Uncle Chen has the ability, but I want to see how he can compete with my 40,000 army with 5,000 Bai Wei's army." ”

"With this kind of bearing, it is the true character of a general." Xin Bi arched his hand and said to Yuan Tan: "Pang Tong ordered Chen Shuzhi to intercept our army at Mount Tai, which should lead our army to a decisive battle with them. I think that after entering Mount Tai, we can avoid Chen Shuzhi and take two cities first to thwart the enemy's spirit. ”

Xin Bi's strategy was very much agreed with by Yuan Tan, and he asked Xin Ping next to him, "What do you think?" ”

"I agree with that, too." Xin Ping said: "Our army came here to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and if the enemy army has been leading the way by the nose, it will inevitably fall into passivity. If the general abandons Chen Shuzhi and chooses to break through the two cities, it will also be a kind of disruption to the deployment of the enemy army. ”

"I kind of see what you mean." Yuan Tan nodded first, and then conveyed the order to the soldiers: "Pass my military order, after entering Mount Tai, you must not entangle with Chen Shuzhi, just follow me to attack the city." ”

When the order was issued to the army, the officers and men of the Yuan army still followed the previous speed and advanced in the direction of Mount Tai.

Chen Zhi had already asked Cen Bi's head to be given to Pang Tong.

In Pang Tong's tent, there was the head on the table that Chen had only been able to send to him.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan and a kind of general under their command stood in two columns in the tent.

"Uncle Chen won the first battle, and I think the whole army should be notified to show his appreciation." Zang Ba said to Pang Tong: "I have also heard of Cen Bi, when he was a general under Yuan Tan, he never met an opponent on the battlefield, but he didn't expect to bump into Shu Shuzhi General, and he couldn't even walk over." It can be seen that the uncle to the general Wu Yong has reached the peak. If I don't give him a reward, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"The hearts of the soldiers will not be cold." Pang Tong replied: "But if I don't reward him, it will make the soldiers feel that there is no benefit in fighting the enemy." If it really brought such an idea to the soldiers, it would not be so easy to boost morale in the future. ”

The meaning of Pang Tong's words could not be clearer, Chen Zhi should indeed be rewarded, and he will definitely do so.

Zang Ba, who asked for credit for Chen Zhi, didn't say much.

Sun Guan next to him reminded Pang Tong: "General Pang, I feel that Yuan Tan will not necessarily follow General Chen when he enters Mount Tai. ”

"General Sun, tell me your reasoning." Pang Tong motioned for him to continue.

Sun Guan said: "General Chen is stationed at the junction of Mount Tai and Qingzhou, and his intention could not be more obvious, that is, to intercept Yuan Tan's southward movement. The 5,000 soldiers of the Baiwei Army are all elite, and General Chen has the courage of 10,000 people. If I were Yuan Tan, I would definitely not choose to fight with General Chen, and I would definitely make a detour to find two cities to fight. Except for the main garrison, only three or five hundred defenders remained in the rest of the cities. With Yuan Tan's army of 40,000, it was effortless to break through a city with only 500 defenders. Once the city is breached by him, Yuan's army will definitely destroy everything in the city. In Yuan Tan's opinion, our army should do everything in its power to prevent him from attacking the city. If General Chen really obstructs it, it will make him even worse. ”

"General Sun might as well tell me what you mean." Pang Tong motioned for him to continue.

"The people from all over Mount Tai have moved to Xuzhou, even if Yuan Tan captures the city, it will be just an empty city of little use." Sun Guan replied: "If he leaves, we will attack on the periphery." If he doesn't go, we'll trap him in his retreat. Anyway, when he is attacking the city, we will not hinder it. Capture at most two cities, Yuan Tan will muttered in his heart, why didn't we stop him from doing this. Seeing the scene in the city again, I think he should also understand the reason. ”

Pang Tong pinched his chin and nodded, and said to Sun Guan: "General Sun has seen it very thoroughly, and I will order Chen Shuzhi to ask him not to hinder them from attacking the city after Yuan Tan enters Mount Tai." ”

made the decision not to obstruct Yuan Tan's siege of the city, Pang Tong ordered the soldiers on the side to send the order to Chen Zhi immediately.

From the place where they were stationed to the place where Chen was going to intercept Yuan Tan, the distance could not be considered too far.

Even so, when the messenger gave the order to Chen Zhi, Yuan Tan had already arrived nearby and was confronting Chen Zhiyao.

After receiving the order not to obstruct Yuan Tan's siege, Chen Zhi was very puzzled.

Although they had also proposed in their previous discussions that the city was not too important to Mount Tai, and the people in the city had already moved, the treasury had long been emptied, and even the defenders had not been left, Chen Zhi still couldn't understand why Yuan Tan was attacking the city and asking him not to attack it?

Although Chen Zhi felt puzzled, the order was really given.

He silently waved his hand at the soldiers who were delivering the order, but his eyes stayed on Yuan Tan's army, which had already arrived nearby and was confronting him.

Chen Zhi stared at Yuan Tan's army, and Yuan Tan was also looking at them.

Not only are the eyebrows dyed white, but the armor they wear is also different from the ordinary Xuzhou army.

Whether it is the style of armor or the color of the battle robe, the Bai Wei Army is an alternative among the Xuzhou Army.

Snow-white eyebrows, snow-white battle robes, and shiny armor are the characteristics of the unification of the Baiwei army.

Looking at the white army, Yuan Tan said to Xin Ping and Xin Bi on the side: "Chen Shuzhi's white army is really a little different from other military teams. Their outfits are easy to get dirty on the battlefield. ”

"I heard that Lu Bu not only has the Bai Wei army under his command, but also the trapped camp and the troublesome soldiers." Xin Bi smiled coldly and said to Yuan Tan: "They are known as elites, and I also believe that they are indeed elites. But I really want to know, for these elites, what are the first camps and euphorbia warriors of our Yuan family? ”

"Ju Yi, the commander of the camp first, has been killed for angering his father." Yuan Tan said: "Today's first camp is led by my father himself, but without the main general, whether the first camp can be regarded as the first camp, I am not so sure." As for the Euphorbia, General Zhang He, who commanded them, is said to have followed Xianyi and Xianfu around Cangting this time, intending to enter Xuzhou from the edge of Qingzhou. What does their existence mean to us without us? ”

Pointing to the Bai Xuan Army led by Chen Zhi on the opposite side, Yuan Tan said: "On the contrary, there is no reality that the Bai Xuan Army on the opposite side has come, although it is not on our side, at least for us, they are real." ”

Yuan Tan's statement really made Xin Bi unable to refute.

The first camp and the Euphorbia are not on the battlefield of Mount Tai, and even if they are elite, they have no meaning in the battle of Mount Tai.

On the contrary, the Bai Wei army led by Chen Zhi, as the elite of the Xuzhou army, was opposite them.

For them, the White Guards are the ones who can really influence the situation on the battlefield.

It's a pity that they are the elite of the Xuzhou Army, not under Yuan Tan.

"Uncle Chen is blocking the way, if we force a breakthrough, there will definitely be a lot of losses." Xin Ping said to Yuan Tan: "The general might as well choose another path, bypass them or lead them to pursue, so that they can be annihilated." ”

"Bypass Chen Shuzhi, attack the nearby city, and lead him to help." Yuan Tan immediately issued an order to bypass Chen Zhi and his Bai Wei army and attack the nearby city.

Yuan Tan led the army, bypassing Chen Dao and driving in another direction.

Chen Zhi didn't come forward to fight, but just followed from a distance with Bai Weijun falling behind.

After receiving an order from Pang Tong not to attack Yuan Tan when he was attacking the city, Chen Zhi followed behind Yuan's army and had no intention of attacking.

On the contrary, it was Yuan Tan, who led the army forward and looked back.

He found that Chen Zhi always fell far behind, but he never had the intention of killing, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He asked Xin Ping and Xin Bi, who were following him, "Do you two feel that Chen Shuzhi is really annoying to follow us?" ”

"Being followed by people is really annoying." Xin Ping replied: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, when we attack the city, Chen Shuzhi should lead the army to attack and harass, and when the time comes, intercept him and fight him, it will definitely make him unforgettable." ”
