Chapter 84: Bluffing

Faced with Wei Fang's series of questions, Chen Qingzhi's expression was solemn, "Brother Yuan, let's make a long story short." At present, Cao Zhongzong is still camping about 100 miles south of this, and has been stranded for several days......"

"What?" As soon as Chen Qingzhi's lie fell, Wei Fang burst into flames, "What is this Cao Zhongzong thinking?" After stagnation for several days, wouldn't it give up a great opportunity to Wei Jun? ”

"Since the beginning of the war, the resistance of the local Wei army has been weak, and Cao Zhongzong thought that the Wei army was vulnerable, so he slackened off, and called it rest and recuperation, and waited for work."

"Waiting for work?" Wei said angrily, "Just let go of this Vortex Yang City and let the Wei army gallop lightly?" So much so that I almost died here? ”

"Ah, speaking of which, why are you here? And that's why you brought such a few people? Chen Qingzhi asked in some surprise.

"Didn't Your Majesty order me to join you and fight the land of Xuzhou together?" Wei Fang sighed helplessly, "I came with 50,000 soldiers, and I got news on the way, saying that you have conquered the city all the way, and it has been very smooth, and you will soon be under the city of Wuyang." Take the vortex, the southwest of Xuzhou will be in the hands of my beam, now we have the opportunity, you will definitely not have the slightest slack, I calculated, today you should have arrived a long time ago. ”

"So you're going to take this little bit of people and rush over first?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"I asked my eldest brother to send some scouts to see the situation first, but he didn't listen, so he had to come in person, and the result was ......good," Wei Xun interjected.

"I was thinking, first, you must have arrived, and secondly, the march of the army is relatively slow after all, I will join you first, so that those soldiers who have followed you and fought for days will know that the reinforcements have arrived, and the morale will inevitably be boosted; We can also discuss the matter of joint operations earlier, after all, I also think that the Wei army will definitely send reinforcements, and the scale should not be small, we should plan early. But I never expected it, hey......" Wei Fang patted his head and shook his head.

"Anyway, it's a lucky day." Chen Qingzhi said.

"That's right!" Wei Fang suddenly asked, "Ziyun, why are you here?" You're not with Cao Zhongzong? ”

"I don't have the kind of leisure that waits for work," Chen Qingyi said in a self-deprecating tone, "Since General Cao wants to rest and rest, I can only take my subordinates and come to Wuyang first." ”

"But you don't have many soldiers and horses, if you really encounter the Wei army, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"Even if it's dangerous, you can't help it." Chen Qingzhi sighed, "The important town of Vortex Yang, the Wei army will inevitably come to the rescue, originally we took the lead, if we can take Voryang first, rely on Vortex Yang, and calmly meet the Wei army, I think that at least we can be invincible." But in the current situation, I can only come to the Wuyang area first to wait for an opportunity, if I find that the Wei army, although it cannot fight, at least I can harass and harass them, so that the Wei army can't figure out our details......"

"Didn't Your Majesty ask you to be on the holiday? You didn't advise Cao Zhongzong? ”

"How can you not persuade him, but where can he listen."

"It's so hateful! I'm going to his camp now, urging him to pull out the camp immediately, even if I hold him by the neck, I'm going to take him down to this Vortex Yang City!" Wei said loudly.

"Wait, Brother Yuan, when will your soldiers and horses arrive?"

"It will be there in three days!"

"The light cavalry of the Wei army must be the vanguard of reinforcements, that is to say, the Wei army's army should not be far away, and their goal is Wuyang." Chen Qingzhi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Can you ask Wei Xun to rush back to the army immediately, and urge the army to speed up and arrive as soon as possible." In case Cao Zhongzong delays, at least there are tens of thousands of horses from Brother Yuan's direct brother, who can confront the Wei army for a while. ”

"Well, of course you can." Wei Fang nodded, turned to Wei Xun and ordered, "Go, urge the brothers to go through the stars and nights, and see the vortex sun as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Xun gave up his hand to receive the order, turned around and galloped away.

After watching Wei Xun leave, Wei Fang turned to Chen Qingzhi and asked, "Ziyun, do you still want to go to Voryang first?" ”

"I have to go first, cruising around the Vortex Yang area, not only to confuse and scare the defenders in the Vortex Yang City, but also to keep an eye on the movements of the Wei army's reinforcements."

"Okay, I'll go to Cao Zhongzong immediately and urge him to send troops!" Wei Fang bowed to Chen Qingzhi and said goodbye, "Ziyun, thank you very much today, take care!" ”

"Brother Yuan, take care!" Chen Qingzhi also returned the salute.

Wei Fang beckoned to the few dozen soldiers left under his command and left.

"Brother Chen, let's go too." Xu Jin came over and said to Chen Qingzhi.

"Wait, Xu Jin, you call everyone first, I have to make some arrangements, and when we get to Voryang, everyone will have to do their own thing."

After a while, Xu Jin called everyone in front of Chen Qingzhi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, at least for two or three days, there is only one of our troops, in order not to let the Wei army see our hypocrisy, we must make some arrangements." Chen Qingzhi's gaze swept over everyone and began to give orders.

"Xu Jin, after arriving at Vortex Sun, you will take all the cavalry teams and run a few laps around Voryang from afar, and when you run, tie some branches to the tail of the horse, so that the brothers are far apart, and raise as much dust as possible to confuse the defenders of Voryang and make them think that we are a large army."

"Yes! Bluffing, I know how to do it. Xu Jin said with a grin.

"Brother Yu, when you arrive, you will bring some brothers, and you must be conspicuous when you cut down trees to build siege equipment, so that the defenders of Voryang think that we are preparing to attack the city, so that they can focus on strengthening the defense, and dare not attack rashly."

"Yes!" Yu Tianshu clenched his fists and responded loudly.

"Third brother!" Chen Qingzhi said to Chen Sibao, "How many tents and ordnance do we have in reserve?" ”

"It should be enough for us to replace, what?"

"When you set up camp, take them all out and set up as many tents as you can; In addition, when cooking every day, dig a lot of pits to let the smoke rise, which can confuse the enemy army. ”

"General Chen, even if we do these bluffs, we don't know how many defenders there are in Voryang City, what if they go out of the city to meet the attack?" Ma Funian raised his concerns on the sidelines.

"Well, I am also worried about the situation that Wen Cai said," Chen Qingzhi nodded, "Vortex Yang Taishou is called Wang Wei, but I don't know his courage, if he is really a reckless man, if he goes out of the city to meet the attack, it is possible to see through our hypocrisy." ”

"Brother Song, Hui Ze, I have to ask the two of you, select some brothers, always be ready, in case the Wei army attacks, you must go head-on and repel them fiercely. Judging by the fighting strength of the local defenders, it will not be a problem for our brothers to repel them. ”

"In addition, we must send more sentry spies to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army's reinforcements, if we can grasp their situation as soon as possible, we will at least not be passive."

"Everyone, as long as you survive these two days, when Brother Yuan's army and Cao Zhongzong's army arrive, even if the Wei army comes, you can open up your posture and fight with it!"

"Then what if the Wei army's army arrives first?" Hui Ze asked, scratching his head.

"Then we can only pray for the Buddha's blessing, and this situation will not happen." Chen Qingzhi said with a wry smile.
