Chapter 287: (Divide the Troops to Fight)

Shangguan Yin Feng's intention is obvious, from the perspective of special operations, attacking it is the best policy, even if the opponent is the Red Eyebrow Army, the leader is still so unreliable Zhang Bu, but in order to defeat Zhang Bu in Wanlisha to the greatest extent, he himself has made a bold idea from before.

After leading the army to the expedition, Li Yanqing commanded the whole army, and he himself took 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, followed by Huang Botao's musket team, detoured through Yuzhi County and entered the territory of the original Jiaodong Kingdom.

Jiaodong country, forty miles north of Tianmur Mountain

Shangguan Yin Feng led his army to Tianmur Mountain on the ninth day of the sixth month, and it had been three full days since he left, because it was a sneak attack, the pace of the march had to be slowed down, and at the same time, a group of sentry spies had to be scattered every thirty miles to prevent being discovered by the enemy.

"Lord Wang, the scouts have come to report that a large number of Red Eyebrow troops have been found in the northwest of Tianmur Mountain, and they are heading in the direction of Donglai." Huang Wei quickly came to Shangguan Yin Fengma, hugged his fists and said: "Please show the prince, did the front of our army take them by surprise in a roundabout way?" ”

"The battlefield of Wanlisha is a Shura hell, this king has handed over the main battle power of Wanlisha to Li Yanqing before leaving, and the follow-up battles are all under his command, but this king has specified when and in that direction to contain the Red Mei army fleeing south."

"Fleeing south?" Huang Long beside him frowned, he was Shangguan Yin Feng's personal guard general, and neither he nor Huang Wei knew that Shangguan Yin Feng had given Li Yanqing a top-secret instruction before leaving.

"What does the prince mean that we will not participate in the Wanlisha War to encircle Zhang Bu?" Huang Wei seemed to have thought of something.

Shangguan Yin Feng looked up at the sky, and said with some pride: "The Wanlisha battlefield, it is not the turn of this king to surround it personally, what our army has to do now is to attack Langya County first, but once Zhang Bu learns that there is a fire in the rear, he will definitely lead his troops to retreat in a hurry, at that time, not only our side, but also Wanlisha side will fight a beautiful battle of annihilation." Saying that, Shangguan Yin Feng looked to the west with some worry: "I just don't know where Cheng Qingzhi and Li Chengdong can fight, the best result is to drag Gai Yan, not to annihilate, and to create ten days of rich time for us, at that time, our army will also win." ”

That's right, what Huang Wei was thinking about was Shangguan Yin Feng's heart, Shangguan Yin Feng had already decided to make a detour from the rear, attack Langya, and then outflank Zhang Bu, cut off his retreat, and prevent him from leading the army to escape to the ground controlled by the Han army at the same place as Gai Yanhui.

"All the way south, detour to Yi'an, directly attack Gaomi, take Gaomi, that is, cut off Zhang Bu's retreat, according to Jinyiwei's investigation in Gaomi, Zhang Bu will hoard a lot of grain and grass in Gaomi City, as long as Gaomi is taken, Zhang Bu will lose the meaning of continuing to fight in Donglai, the collapse of the Red Mei Army is not a problem, and it is no problem to make their army chaotic."

June 11 of the second year of Fengtian, Gaomi City, Shandong

Jiaoxi County, Gaomi City, was originally the seat of Jiaoxi County, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty changed to Gaomi State in the first year, which continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties; In the current Gaomi City, more than 15,000 Red Mei troops are stationed, and the commander of the army is Fei Kang, the younger brother of the general Fei Yi under Zhang Bu.

In order to maintain the Donglai battlefield, Zhang Bu basically mobilized more than half of the grain and grass in Langya County, as long as he defeated Gaomi and burned its grain and grass, even if he did not take the initiative to attack, the Red Mei Army would collapse, not to mention that all the logistics baggage was destroyed.

In the city governor's mansion, Fei Dang is teasing his concubine, this person was originally a clerk in the county of Dongwu County, Langya County, and his brother Fei Yi is the deputy governor of Dongwu County, when Zhang Bu raised his army, he responded to the call and participated in Zhang Bu's army, because on the way to the development of Langya County, he defeated several hostile forces, so he was trusted by Zhang Bu, until now the two brothers have become Zhang Bu's generals.

"General..."A lieutenant trotted into the governor's mansion and said to Fei Dang, who was laughing in the lobby: "Tell the general, the scout has come to report that thirty miles northeast of the city has found a large force of Cheng Dynasty troops galloping towards our department, all of them cavalry. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Fei Dare directly pushed away the concubine in his arms, and stood up with a sense of excitement: "Is the report accurate?" ”

"It's accurate, it's indeed the cavalry of the Cheng Dynasty, and it's estimated that it will soon reach the outside of the city." The lieutenant replied.

When Fei Dang was about to give the order to summon the sergeants to prepare to defend against the enemy, a fierce drum sounded at the city wall, which was a drum for the enemy, and Fei Dang's eyes suddenly widened: "Quick, gather the whole army to go to the city." ”

It had been three days when Shangguan Yin Feng led his troops to reach the outside of Gaomi City, and because of the difficult roads, the hoplites could not advance quickly, and if they were only cavalry operations, they could reach Gaomi in one day.

"Lord, are you attacking the city?" Huang Weice rushed to Shangguan Yin Feng's side and asked with his fists clenched.

"Pass the order, the whole army will bury the pot and cook, eat first, and then talk about it, this king is sure whether Nafei dares to go out of the city to fight with our army." Shangguan Yin Feng dismounted as he spoke, and then said, "Go and call Fan Wenhui to me." ”

After Cheng Wenzhe surrendered, Fan Wenhui was originally going to be assigned to Liaodong, but considering that Fan Wenhui and Zhang Bu had negotiated before, and Fan Wenhui, as a native of Shandong, was familiar with the terrain of Langya, he could play a certain role in Zhang Bu's battle plan.

"The last general Fan Wenhui, the general Wangye..."Fan Wenhui has a certain admiration for Shangguan Yin Feng's prestige, and being able to work under Shangguan Yin Feng will have a chance to make a comeback in the future, at least compared to going to the Liaodong Frontier, it is much more comfortable to fight in Shandong, and the Huns and Wuhuan people are not good stubble.

Shangguan Yin Feng held a dry cake in his hand, gnawed on it, and pointed at Fan Wenhui: "General Fan, can you eat some?" ”

"The last general Xie Wang Ye rewarded...", he said that he took the dry cake handed to him by Shangguan Yin Feng with both hands, and also ate it in a big gulp.

Shangguan Yin Feng smiled knowingly when he saw this, thinking that this Fan Wenhui would indeed be a sycophant, otherwise he would not have lived so long, and his younger brother Fan Wencheng was also killed by him: "General Fan, Gaomi is right in front of you, you used to be the county guard of Qingzhou, did you have too much contact or intersection with them when Zhang Bu was the county guard of Langya?" ”

This sentence is very creative, and it is also a test of Fan Wenhui's answer level, Shangguan Yin Feng is indeed from two aspects, the first is to see what the relationship between Fan Wenhui and Zhang Bu is, and the second is to see whether Fan Wenhui may be a counter-spy on Zhang Bu or the Han army, of course, the main purpose of mixing the two points is to see whether Fan Wenhui himself is useful: "The last general was punctual in Qingzhou County, and he went to Langya Gong once, and it was also a matter of changing the reserve to join the army, but it was clear that Zhang Bu had a strategist under him, named Chen Tong, This person is quite talented, and the governance of the whole county of Langya is basically from the hands of this person, if it is about Zhang Bu's talent, he will think that he himself may not be as good as Yongya..."

Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and looked at Fan Wenhui, he agreed with Fan Wenhui's comment on Zhang Bu's point: "Now that our army is under Gaomi City, our army is so openly burying pots and cooking, do you think Fei Dare in the city will go out of the city to attack our army?" ”

Although Fan Wenhui is not so clever in the military, this point is also relatively clear: "The last general thinks that with Fei Dare's temper, he will not send troops, what he has to do is to wait for reinforcements." ”
