"Sir, is this man really as powerful as you say?"

King Yan smiled lightly and didn't believe it, but Han Mingzhen, as his number one military adviser, said what King Yan would think about, especially about the situation of the enemy army in the battle of his victory, after thinking about it for a while, King Yan summoned Zhu Mao: "General Zhu, this king and your cavalry are three thousand, and they will immediately raid Chen Cheng!" ”

"Raid on Chen Cheng?" Zhu Mao was puzzled: "Your Highness, Chen Cheng is only in a nest situation now, there are more than 10,000 tired soldiers under the command of Yuanzi Period, and the last general has already beaten him in the first battle of Shouchun County, so it is better to take this opportunity to take this place directly..."

"No!" Han Mingzhen resolutely decided: "Zhu Mao, Chen Cheng is a flat land, the city wall is no more than two zhang high, and Puyang seems to defend each other, in fact, the city of two earth kilns, there is no power to resist, in the hands of the Zhongdu Army, it can not only involve their troops, disperse the defense, but also find fighters for our army, this raid on Chencheng, the focus is to test the strength of the Puyang City army, General Zhu, the old man warns you, you must be very careful of the movement in the direction of Puyang during the raid, and do not be surrounded by Puyang reinforcements and cut off the back road!" ”

"What did the gentleman say! A certain Yan King has fought so far, and he has not been defeated! ”

Zhu Mao was displeased with Han Mingzhen's words, and left in a rough voice, Han Mingzhen shook his head: "Your Highness, you must be prepared to respond, for General Zhu's attitude, the old man said something disrespectful, Zhu Mao will be defeated in vain this time!" ”

"Failed to return? No, no, no..."

King Yan smiled: "Mr. refers to Sang Yihuai, which is a trick, but this king also thinks of a plan, that is, to send another general, to accompany him, to the front line of Chencheng to attack Puyang, if you can intercept and kill the reinforcements, wouldn't it be better?" ”

At night, the line from Puyang, Chencheng to Yanzhou was dim, due to the spread of the war, the people of the counties and townships here had already fled without a trace, and the remaining old and poor people were also cowering in dilapidated houses, panicking all day.

"General Tian, the dark whistles have been set up!" The junior colonel came to report, and Tian Zhu nodded after hearing it: "Command the night patrol captain, be sure to take precautions!" ”

After the colonel left, Tian Zhu estimated the current situation, and there was always a sense of panic in his heart, so he finally went to the pioneer camp to see if he could discuss the next military strategy with this noble prince.

After coming to the pioneer camp, Tian Zhu looked from a distance, and found that Huangfu Chenghao was assembling the headquarters of his own horse, Tian Zhu was suspicious, and hurriedly approached, Huangfu Chenghao had to be told by his own soldiers, knowing that Tian Zhu had suddenly arrived, he threw the horse lance to his own soldiers and met him.

"General Tian, why are you here?"

"Huangfu Shizi, what are you doing? If Ben Jiang is not mistaken, His Majesty's edict clearly stated that without Ben General's order, the emperor and the prince cannot act without authorization, if it is careless and hurts the body, this crime will not be affordable! ”

Tian Zhu was humble and not arrogant, and put the safety of Huangfu Chenghao in the first place, for a while, Huangfu Chenghao was not good at playing the prestige of the noble family, he bowed and bowed: "The general misunderstood, the last general did not have the intention of sending troops without authorization, and the last general just gathered his headquarters to ride to Yanzhou to explore the camp!" ”

"It's enough to go down to such a dangerous cause..."

Tian Zhu's words did not fall, and Huangfu Chenghao had already blocked: "General, Yanzhou is lost, Yuanzi is defeated in Shouchun County, Puyang and Chencheng are not in danger, but they can be guarded against for a while, but they can't be prevented for a lifetime, so we need to find out the next offensive direction of the Yan army as soon as possible and win victory from the opportunity, this is the best policy!" ”

Hearing this, and then looking at Huangfu Chenghao's mind-set, Tian Zhu thought for a while, and said: "Huangfu Shizi, what you said is that since this is the case, then the special order will be accompanied by you and escort the left and right!" ”

"The general doesn't need to do much!" Seeing that Tian Zhu was no longer blocked, Huangfu Chenghao rose arrogantly, turned over and got on his horse: "Since it is a camp, the fewer people the better, the general can rest assured, a certain self-ask to fight bravely, except for the king of Hexi Qin can make a weak battle for three points, the rest of the army generals, there is no opponent yet, before dawn... Somebody will return! ”

When the words fell, Huangfu Chenghao led his headquarters to ride a hundred people and galloped away, so far, Tian Zhu's lieutenant general was dissatisfied and said: "General, how can you let him do his own thing... It's so presumptuous! ”

"Back to camp!" Tian Zhu's face did not change, and under the deep voice, he stopped talking and returned to the middle camp, Tian Zhu said: "Pass the order, let the schools of the front army be ready for battle, and the schools of the rear army are ready to attack!" ”

"Why?" The call is unknown.

Tian Zhu was uneasy: "Before leaving, Your Majesty secretly ordered me to be careful of Prince Yong, otherwise, do you really think that I will let Huangfu Chenghao go to visit the camp?" He is a nobleman, although I have an order in hand, but the army is outside, the noble general is more powerful than me, a courtier official, and forcibly ordering him will only cause a gap between the two of us, which is not conducive to war..."

"So you deliberately indulged the prince of Huangfu, and then guarded the strict army in case of unforeseen changes!"

Zhao suddenly realized, Tian Zhu repeatedly explained: "Tell the soldiers of each school, be sure not to take off their bodies, rest in their clothes, and pay attention to the movement in the direction of Chen Cheng, I think... With the posture of the Yan King, he will definitely not let go of the weak Yuanzi Period, counting the time, the soldiers of the Yan Army occupying Yanzhou City should also move towards Chen Cheng!

As he was talking, the sentry came to report that it was Chen Chengqi's order.

"General Tian, the Yan army attacked Chen Cheng at night, General Yuan was afraid that Chen Cheng would be lost, so he ordered his subordinates to come and ask for help!"

"Sure enough, it moved!" Tian Zhu's face was stunned, he stood up, and called out the ranks: "General, the last general is willing to go to help!" ”

"No!" Tian Zhu categorically refused, and directly made Chen Chengqi Lingbing and Zhao stunned.

"Why? General, if Chen Cheng is lost, Puyang will attack with a single horn, and the pressure will be huge... In the future, it will be difficult to defend against the Yan army..."

"You also know that Puyang is under great pressure, so how can King Yan not know?" Tian Zhu took a few steps back and forth: "But compared to the huge pressure, the land of the depression city, the empty consumption of soldiers, this is taboo!" ”

Tian Zhu turned his voice and ordered: "Summon, order you to lead four thousand horsemen and attack Yanzhou City quickly!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao was shocked, there are tens of thousands of Yan troops in Yanzhou City at present, Tian Zhu's order is like hitting a stone with an egg in terms of Zhao, I don't think Tian Zhu is angry: "Zhaozhao, are you cowardly?" ”

"No... No..."Zhao shook his head to take the order, and when he left, Tian Zhu explained: "Zhao, remember, you rush to attack Yanzhou City, not to break the battle and seize the city, as long as you abide by the attack without fighting, fighting without receiving, and if you want the enemy to retreat quickly, you will be safe!" ”

After summoning the non-uncommon people, after a little thought, he suddenly understood Tian Zhu's deep meaning, so that the frightened and incomprehensible meaning of the party dissipated and disappeared, and after the call led the department to leave, Tian Zhu summoned a general, and swept his eyes, this will be a seven-foot body, more than several times worse than the usual fierce general, but even if it looks like this, Tian Zhu did not despise it, entrusted with a heavy task, so that the flag soldiers on the side almost lost their eyes.
