19, the sound of the east and the west spread to
The plan has been decided, and each one sends troops and horses.
After Yan Xing's military order was conveyed, soon, Cao Yuan and Wei Xuan took a song of soldiers and horses, combined another song of soldiers and horses of Yan Xing and Dian Wei and the Xiliang cavalry of Zhai Hao's department, and came to the county barracks on the east bank of Fenshui.
In less than half a day, Cao Yuan had already approached the destination with his soldiers and horses.
Cao Yuan sent scouts to the vicinity of the barracks of the Hedong County soldiers in advance to investigate the military situation, and then ordered all the troops to rest in the forest on the side of the road first, while himself, Wei Xuan, Yan Xing, Dian Wei and others gathered in a clearing in the forest to discuss how to seize the military power of Fan Gui and Zhang Lang next, and waited for the information about the Hedong County soldiers that the scouts fed back.
After deliberating for a while, before the conversation was finished, the scouts had already returned.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly outside the forest, and with a neighing of horses, a strong man jumped off his horse with a captive whose hands and feet were bound and his mouth gagged.
Cao Kite in the forest raised her head and said slowly.
"Zhai Sima is back, and he has caught the raw mouth."
Then, Zhai Hao, who was wearing leather armor and holding a ring knife, strode in, and after seeing Cao Yuan and the others, he laughed, threw the captive over, and said casually:
"Fan Gui and Zhang Lang's group of erectors verbally said that they would guard against the white wave thieves crossing the river, but the camp gate in the east was more heavily guarded than in the west, but it just so happened that I bumped into a pawn and arrested him!"
The east gate faces the direction of Jiangyi in the rear, and the west gate faces the direction of Linfen Baibo.
"There's Lao Zhai Sima!"
Cao Yuan smiled, sent the soldiers to add an extra maza, and kindly invited Zhai Hao to sit down, and then asked Wei Xuan to capture the county soldier and arrest him for interrogation.
Looking at Zhai Hao, who had just dismounted and was sweating, Yan Xing began to say:
"Zhai Sima, I have already discussed with you just now, plus what you just said, it can be concluded that the soldiers of Hedong County have already taken precautions, and we will enter the camp directly from the west gate, but I am afraid that Fan and Zhang will know about it in advance, and the two of them will resist and use the fortifications of the camp gate to block it, but I am afraid that the battle will be opened and more people and horses will be injured."
"Therefore, we will wait for the resolution, strike at the west from the east, pretend to come from the west with great fanfare, and send strange soldiers to break into the camp from the east, loudly proclaim the military order, and confuse the hearts of the soldiers in the camp, and then cooperate with the outside to take down the barracks of the Hedong County soldiers."
Zhai Hao knew that Cao Yuan was a martial arts officer with Yan Xing's weapon, so he naturally would not oppose him for no reason, and he couldn't wait to deal with Fan Gui, Zhang Lang and others, after hearing Cao Yuan's arrangement, he didn't say a word, hugged his fists and said:
"Cao Jun is the person in charge of the army sent by the captain himself, so this matter naturally has to listen to Cao Jun's decision, and all the soldiers and horses in my department will obey the order."
"Then it's up to Sima!"
Cao Yuan and Yan Xing's soldiers and horses, mostly foot soldiers, wanted to attack the east and west, and broke into the camp, but also had to call Zhai Hao's Xiliang cavalry, and Zhai Hao was a new person who joined Yan Xing, and his position in the army was also higher than Cao Yuan, so although Cao Yuan presided over the matter, he was kind all the way, and he had been talking to Zhai Hao in a deliberative tone.
Now that he heard that Zhai Hao calmly obeyed orders, Cao Yuan was naturally happy, and Wei Xuan over there also tortured some information.
According to him, the middle and lower county soldiers in Hedong did not know about Yan Xing's military order to recall soldiers and horses, and the order they received was always to garrison along the Fenshui coast, but recently the battalion that had been standing still has also made some moves, in addition to shrinking the troops, turning the key places of defense to the direction of Jiangyi, and sending some soldiers and horses out of the camp at night.
After listening to the information tortured by Wei Xuan, Cao Yuan looked around at everyone and said solemnly:
"Now that we have obtained the general situation in the battalion, then we should act as soon as possible, so as not to delay any longer, and the scouts of the Hedong County soldiers will find out about the division of our army, and it will take more effort."
"Order! Thirty elite horsemen and horses were selected from Zhai Sima's department, hidden their tracks, bypassed the sentry post at the west gate, held a sentry in hand, broke into the camp from the east gate of the barracks, announced the withdrawal order to the county soldiers, confused their military morale, and used this pawn as a guide to drive directly into the Chinese army, capture Fan and Zhang, and prevent them from taking the opportunity to support the army and make chaos. The three armies are in command, and you can't do it unless you are brave, Dianjun, this matter depends on you! β
Dian Wei nodded, his face was normal, and the urn sounded in response.
"Yan Jun and Hongqi, lead the troops to march to the east gate with me, with the eyes and ears of the soldiers of Hedong County, if there is a change, then the sergeants will be reorganized and go all out to capture the barracks and walled gates."
"No!"
Wei Xuan and Yan Xing also spoke in unison and agreed loudly.
"As for Zhai Sima, he can lead his troops as surprise soldiers and move at the right time to support the other two people!"
"No!"
Zhai Hao looked at Dian Wei, nodded as well, and promised loudly.
"Okay, all the kings, let's do what they are told!"

Sima military tent in the Hedong County barracks
Although it was noon, but last night to dispatch soldiers and horses, secretly acted Fan Gui has not yet gotten up, he was originally a disciple of the Fan clan, although later the white wave thief, Hedong wantonly recruited soldiers and horses, Fan Gui responded to the order of the clan, led the clansmen, the tribe to wear armor from Rong, after several promotions, to achieve the position of Sima in the army, but the army is hard, although Fan Gui thinks very highly of himself, in the matter of being diligent in governing the army, but after all, he was not able to do it.
However, this kind of laziness is okay in Fan Gui's opinion, he thinks that he is not good at generals, but he can generalize. The ordinary things of governing the army are completed by the military officials under the tent, and there is Zhang Lang when he charges into battle, he only needs to strategize, and he can sleep in the tent and sit back and relax.
The soldiers under the tent knew his habits, and usually if Fan Gui got up late, they didn't dare to come and disturb him. But today it was unusual, Fan Yong, who was still sleeping peacefully, was disturbed by a noise outside the camp.
Fan Gui, who had just been woken up, was sleepy-eyed, yawning, and with a little annoyance, he called out of the tent.
The army has its own laws and regulations, and without military orders, it is forbidden to roar, beat drums and blow trumpets at the gate of the Chinese army without authorization.
Who dares to defy the law?
Hearing Fan Gui's shouting in the tent, the guards outside the tent immediately walked in quickly, but in the face of Fan Gui's inquiry, they, the soldiers outside the tent, only heard a noisy shout, but they couldn't hear the specific content clearly, and only heard the words "captain" and "withdraw the army".
"Send someone to check what happened?"
Fan Gui's heart was hot, and he immediately sent someone to check, but before the people sent had gone far, a military official had already run to the military tent to report to him.
"Sima, there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming from the east, look at the flag, it is the banner of the Xiliang soldiers, Zhang Sima has already blocked them from entering the camp at the east gate, send his subordinates to inform Sima, please make a decision quickly!"
Hearing the report of the military officials, Fan Gui suddenly frowned, and the Xiliang soldiers suddenly came, naturally with bad intentions. He hurriedly said:
"Let Zhang Sima be sure to block them, don't let them enter the camp, I'll come quickly!"
After saying that, Fan Gui immediately sent the military official to reply to his life, but when the military official did not go far, another military official asked to see him and enter the account.
"Sima, there is a cavalry conflict at the west camp gate, and he claims to be the captain of the Dangkou school, and he has ordered the whole army to retreat."
"Nonsense, the captain has an order, how could I not know, why don't you stop people?"
Fan Gui's face changed dramatically when he heard another piece of bad news, and then directly questioned the military official.
Hearing Fan Gui's questioning, the military official was also helpless, and could only say:
This group of men and horses suddenly appeared at the camp gate, and their subordinates stopped them at that time, but their armor and banners were all in the style of Xiliang soldiers, and the number was not large, and it did not seem to be camouflaged, so the archers did not dare to release their arrows. Moreover, there was a big man who came to ride as the leader, and he was very fierce, and he even picked the camp gate twice to refuse the horse, and they loudly announced the inscription, and the soldiers in the camp were in great confusion, and their subordinates did not know the authenticity, so they did not dare to do itββ"
"Then send out the archers now and shoot them directly!"
Fan Gui was impatient to listen to the helpless explanation of the military officer, and he directly ordered to send archers to shoot and ride.
"But Sima, I don't think those who come to ride are fake-"
"Shut up, these unidentified cavalrymen are coming from the west, they must have been sent by the White Wave Thieves to disturb the hearts of the battalion sergeants, how can they be allowed to run rampant again, and give the order quickly!"
Seeing Fan Gui's angry appearance, the military officials didn't dare to explain anything, so they had to turn around and go out of the account directly.
Fan Gui saw the soldiers leaving, knowing that this time the Xiliang soldiers were trying to see the poor dagger and wanted to do something to themselves, the Hedong county soldiers, he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he immediately got up, didn't care about washing, and asked the guards to help him put on his armor, but he had just finished sorting out his clothes and armor, and there was a burst of confusion outside the tent.
A loud voice exploded like thunder.
"The text is here, the captain has an order, the white wave thief has retreated to Linfen, and the rest of the department will immediately withdraw the camp and return to Jiangyi without delay!"
Hearing this voice, Fan Gui's softened face turned blue again, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and said viciously:
"Let the thieves rush to the gate, this sergeant guarding the door should be killed, come, go out with me, and kill these thieves together!"
As soon as the words fell, there was already a sound of fighting outside the tent, and Fan Gui immediately rushed out with the guards in the tent.
I saw that the people and horses outside the tent were chaotic, and several people came to ride back and forth in his gate, and one of them, a majestic man with a beard like a halberd, was even more invincible, and rushed back and forth on his horse, and the crotch mount knocked and kicked the soldiers who stopped him a lot.
"Damn, what are you still afraid of, these are all white wave thieves, they are all killed by me!"
Hearing Fan Gui's ruthless order, the hesitant sergeants outside the tent finally had a backbone, and they were all tense, and they were about to kill these cavalrymen who claimed to have come from the tent.
"He's Fan Sima!"
After the captured pawn saw the person who gave the order, he suddenly shouted to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei, who got the target, suddenly opened his tiger's eyes, stared directly at Fan Gui, and left the pawn casually, and the war horse under his crotch had a good heart, and rushed directly in the direction of Fan Gui.
"Protect Sima!"
Fan Gui's personal soldiers shouted loudly, wanting to protect Fan Gui in the center, but Dian Wei was powerful, almost no round of the enemy, the horse quickly rushed up, although the horse's chest was soon poked by the spear, but after falling off the horse Dian Wei was even more ferocious, he fell in the crowd, holding a double iron halberd, continued to slash, and killed a bloody road, the cavalry behind also followed, a charge will hit or slash Fan Gui's personal soldiers, and then work together to see the situation is not good, trying to turn around and escape into the account Fan Gui caught.
At this moment, Dian Wei and other cavalry captured Fan Gui, but they were surrounded by the Hedong soldiers in the camp, and outside the barracks, there were Cao Yuan and Zhai Hao's cavalry to threaten the Hedong soldiers.
Dian Wei forced Fan Gui to order the soldiers and horses to retreat, but Fan Gui knew that Dian Wei was under siege and did not dare to rashly do anything to himself, so he had no fear, but threatened Dian Wei to let him go, and he could still have a way to live.
The two confronted each other as soon as possible, and Dian Wei was waiting for the soldiers and horses outside the camp to rush into the camp and meet his own side. And Fan Gui was killed in the gambling rush camp, and Zhang Lang blocked the soldiers and horses outside the camp, so that the plans of these Xiliang soldiers were all in vain.
In this way, one ring after another, the situation was stalemate at this moment.
In the end, it was Zhang Lang who led the troops to block Cao Yuan and others who broke the deadlock.
Zhai Hao took the Xiliang cavalry and wanted to attack from the west gate, but he had many men and horses, and he was found in the distance, and after the assault camp with Dian Wei and others to ride, the gatekeepers who were questioned by Fan Gui no longer dared to be suspicious, and directly closed the camp gate and fired bows and arrows to block the assault camp of Zhai Hao's cavalry.
According to Yan Xing and Cao Yuan's intentions, Zhai Hao had no intention of wantonly attacking the Hedong County soldiers and causing a war, so he could not break into the camp for a short time, but there were soldiers and horses advancing in the east and west directions, which also gave the Hedong County soldiers a huge deterrent.
Hearing that not only did a small number of cavalry claim to be coming from the West Gate and suddenly arrived in the camp, but also Zhai Hao's banner appeared behind the West Gate one after another, Zhang Lang, who was standing on the tower of the East Gate, was suddenly in a hurry, at this time he also knew that the big thing was not good, but there were so many horsemen from Jiangyi in front of him who came one after another, if he left at this time, he didn't calm the hearts of the people here, let the other party aim at the opportunity, and then loudly announce the text, or forcibly attack, it would be troublesome.
Outside the barracks, I saw that there was a small-scale riot among the Hedong soldiers guarding the camp gate, and the movement caused by the movement of people and horses in the camp was not small. Cao Yuan knew that Dian Wei had successfully broken into the camp, and he knew that the current Hedong County soldiers were in turmoil, and they must take this opportunity to break through the camp and enter the camp to settle the overall situation, otherwise they might miss the opportunity and lose the lives of Dian Wei and other warriors in vain.
Cao Yuan glanced at Yan Xing, Yan Xing nodded, and he slapped his horse out of his senses, came to the camp gate in front of a stone's throw away, and shouted loudly to Zhang Lang on the gatehouse:
"Zhang Sima, when do you still want to stop me, we have already sent soldiers and horses to break into the camp from the west gate and announce the military order of the captain, at this time your camp has been in chaos, Zhai Sima's cavalry is afraid that it has also arrived, you are trapped at the camp gate, do you still want to resist the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court?"
"If you lead the troops to withdraw at this time, you can still atone for your crimes, but if you continue to resist stubbornly, you will lose your teacher and kill your general."
Yan Xing shouted here, and Cao Yuan also asked the soldiers under his command to continue to shout.
"The captain has an order, the white wave thief has retreated to Linfen, you and other departments immediately pull out the camp and return to Jiangyi, without delay, if there is resistance, it is disobeying the military order, not only can it be difficult to protect itself, but also the family of the soldier!"
The shouts outside the city moved the sky, although many Hedong soldiers who raised their hands at the camp gate trusted Zhang Lang, but at this time they also began to look sideways at Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang felt a lot of pressure for a while, and he didn't know what to do, and finally heard that Fan Gui was captured by the cavalry who broke into the camp, but he breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know whether to relax his tense mind, or to vent the courage to fight.
In the midst of his orders, only a muffled sound was heard, and the closed camp gate slowly opened.
