Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the generals standing in the big tent couldn't help but bow their heads silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because they knew the war well, they all knew what terrible results would happen to an army under siege if it was attacked from both sides by the enemy. Not to mention anything else, if their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were attacked by Ye first on the way to attack such an important town as Shangcaicheng, there would be no need to send his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at all, and it is estimated that only 3,000 elite cavalry would be needed to completely defeat Zhang Shihua and them.

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Shihua's rhetorical question, they were so silent. Because if something like this happens, they can't find any way to resolve it.

And Zhang Shihua, who has always been at the head of the house, saw his subordinates like this, and knew that they had already understood the danger. So after coughing lightly again, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to the generals under his command: "And we stick to it here, it's not a matter of losing the initiative." ”

"As far as this general knows, the 70,000 troops under the command of Ye Xian, all the grain and grass used by his army are hoarded in Shangcai City. If our army holds on to this, we can cut off the food routes that preceded them. The army will disperse if there is no food, and the grain route will be cut off, even if there are more soldiers and horses, it will only be a trapped beast, and what threat can it pose to our army? ”

"And as long as our army runs out of food, and then wants to defeat it first, isn't it easy?"

Hearing Zhang Shihua's analysis, the generals under the tent were slightly silent for a moment, and their faces couldn't help but show joy one after another. Obviously, they also feel that Zhang Shihua's analysis is extremely reasonable.

However, after rejoicing for a while, Zhao Jiu couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Zhang Shihua, "Your Excellency, General's plan is of course excellent. However, if our army cuts off the grain route of Nayexian like this, then it will inevitably come to attack our army with all its might. ”

"At that time, 100,000 soldiers and horses will attack in the north and south, with the strength of our army, it will be difficult to retreat from the enemy!"

However, after hearing Zhao Jiu's words, Zhang Shihua glanced at Zhao Jiu, but instead laughed.

And after Zhang Shihua laughed, although Zhao Jiu understood in his heart that Zhang Shihua already had a solution, he still asked Zhang Shihua in confusion: "Why is the general laughing?" ”

"Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, have you forgotten Marshal Liu who led the army to garrison Ruyang City? You said that it also had nearly 100,000 troops first, and Marshal Liu was not like that. Marshal Liu has been fighting with Yexian for so long these days, and the war is in the midst of anxiety. You said that if Marshal Liu now knew that I led the army to cut off Yexian's grain route, would he still give Yexian the opportunity to attack me with all his might? ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the smart Zhao Jiu immediately figured out the joints. So after that, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua with great admiration: "The general has seen thousands of miles, and we can't wait for it, so I am willing to obey the general's order and look forward to the general." ”

"I am willing to obey the general's order and look forward to the general!" Seeing Zhao Jiu like this, the rest of the generals couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua in unison.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded again, and couldn't help but wave his hand to let them retreat, and they went to prepare for the construction of the camp.

……

A few more hours passed, and when the bright moon hung high in the sky, Lu Liu, who had come here to report for help, finally rode the thousand-mile BMW given to him by Haidu and came to the outside of Yexian's camp.

"Urgent, urgent. I am here from Shangcai City on the orders of His Royal Highness King Wei, and I have urgent military affairs to report to my lord, so let me enter the camp quickly! After being blocked by the guards guarding the door, Lu Liu, who was riding on a war horse, couldn't help but say this to the guards.

And when the gatekeepers heard Lu Liu's words, they saw that Lu Liu's dress and behavior did not look like a red turban thief, so after searching Lu Liu's body and receiving the blades he carried, they couldn't help but let Lu Liu enter the camp, and then a thousand household officials personally took Lu Liu to see Timur.

"Stop coming, this is also the first adult's tent, and you can't approach without anything important." After the Qianhu who brought Lu Liu to the gorgeous and luxurious camp tent, a team of personal guards guarding the camp tent couldn't help but say to Lu Liu.

Hearing this, Lu Liu hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, and said to the guard: "This is a letter handed over to me by His Royal Highness King Wei, and a great event has happened in Shangcai City, so I have to meet Lord Yexian now, and I am also bothering the general to go to Tongyu." ”

When the guard general heard Lu Liu's words, he was rarely literate and glanced at the letter in Lu Liu's hand, and found that the seal used on the letter was really Brother Kuanche, the king of Wei, so he didn't dare to slack off, nodded to Lu Liu, said a word of waiting, and then turned around and went to the account.

"In this way, almost another quarter of an hour passed, and just when Lu Liu was a little impatient to wait, the general of the personal guard finally stepped out of the big tent of Yexian Timur, and waved his hand at Lu Liu, so that Lu Liujin could meet him in the account."

Seeing this, Lu Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Therefore, he was a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't care about tidying up his appearance, and he didn't even care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, so he strode into the extravagant Chinese army tent in Yexian.

"The last general, Lu Liu, meet Lord Yexian." After bypassing the screen placed in the big tent of the Chinese army, and seeing the sleepy eyes on the bed, Lu Liu couldn't help but kneel on one knee like this at the first time, clasped his fists and bowed.

And when he saw Lu Liu like this first, after yawning loudly, he stretched out his hand to Lu Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Quick, give me the letter from His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

However, when he heard Ye Xian's words, Lu Liu did not take out any letters, but said directly to Ye Xian: "Lord Qi Yu Ye Xian, a few hours ago, Zhang Shihua, the Nanyang thief chieftain, led more than 10,000 thieves and bandits to surround Shangcai City. There are not many soldiers and horses in Shangcai City, and it is difficult to repel the bandits, so the last general was ordered by His Royal Highness King Wei to come here to ask for help. ”

"What, what are you talking about, the red turban thieves have surrounded Shangcai City!" Hearing Lu Liu's words, he suddenly fell asleep, and even stood up from the bed suddenly, and then shouted at Lu Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, with two eyes in the same way.

Seeing this, Lu Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, naturally nodded, and repeated what he had just said to him again. And after repeating this passage, he buried his face on the ground and pleaded with Yexian: "Shang Caicheng can't last long, so I hope that you can come back as soon as possible." ”

However, at this time, Yexian didn't pay attention to his words, because the current Yexian was already carried away by this sudden news.

"Hurry up, hurry up, invite Mr. Feng here, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Feng." After sobering up a little, he couldn't help but yell like this.

Seeing this, I have to say that he himself is also a person who has experienced some ups and downs after all. Although he couldn't think of anything to do for a while in the face of such a situation, he now at least knew who to discuss the matter with.

Feng Zhang, just listen to the name, you know that this is a Han person. But this Han man was also the number one strategist under Timur, as early as when Timur got rid of his relationship through his brother, and just became the imperial historian of the imperial court, Feng Zhang gave advice to him under him.

I have to say that Feng Zhang is indeed a talent. Although he is just a northern Han man, in terms of strategy, this person is not simple. Therefore, after experiencing some storms and all of them were successfully resolved by Feng Zhang, he also obeyed his words first.

Even if he didn't just obey his words, he regarded Feng Zhang as his most important right-hand man, and even when he went south to fight for thieves this time, he always took Feng Zhang with him to plan affairs for himself.

……

Almost a quarter of an hour had passed, and just as he was a little impatient in his big tent and wanted to send someone to urge him again, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent. And along with the sound of footsteps, a middle-aged man saluted unhurriedly.

"Xiaguan Feng Zhang, meet your lordship." Feng Zhang, a middle-aged man with a folding fan in his hand, a good-looking goatee, a jade-like complexion and a temperament like a humble gentleman, couldn't help but bend over with his fists in front of him after seeing Ye Xian who was turning left and right in the big tent because of anxiety.

And after seeing Feng Zhang's in, he walked to Feng Zhang's side in three steps and two steps, and helped Feng Zhang's hand up, not to mention, and then grabbed Feng Zhang's hand, and said with a sad face: "Yiming (Feng Zhangzi), you are here, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”

After saying this, he first told Feng Zhang about Shangcai City being surrounded by Zhang Shihua and them in one breath like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

And Feng Zhang, who usually seemed confident about everything, couldn't help frowning deeply after hearing such a thing.

"My lord, this is a tricky time!" After being silent for a moment, Feng Zhang's eyes rolled, but he couldn't help but sigh like this.

And seeing that his henchmen and think tanks were like this, he naturally couldn't help but be more anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that even you, Yiming, don't you have the slightest way?" ”

However, hearing Ye Xian's words, Feng Zhang shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you know that in this camp, the army can only use grain for five days, and the rest of the grain and grass are all hoarded in Shangcai City. And in this way, no matter whether the Nanyang Red Turban Thief captured Shangcai or not, it also completely cut off the grain route of our army. ”

"If our army runs out of food after five days, it will inevitably be defeated and invincible in the face of these tens of thousands of red turban thieves. Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of our army now is whether it can defeat the Nanyang Red Turban Thief and open up the grain route in the remaining five days. ”

"That being the case, I will pull the army out of camp to-morrow. Shangcai City is not far from our army, and the army will be there in two days. When the time comes, I will attack the north and south with 100,000 horses, and I will definitely be able to crush those damn Nanyang red turban thieves into powder. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but show a relaxed smile on his face.

However, seeing this, Feng Zhang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My lord, things are not so easy, have you forgotten that there are still tens of thousands of red scarf bandits in this Ruyang Mansion City?" Since they have cut off our food supply this time, they will definitely not let us get our wish so easily. ”

"So tomorrow, we probably won't be able to withdraw our troops even if we want to!"

Hearing Feng Zhang's words, Fang Cun couldn't help but cry with a mournful face: "Then how is this good, do I want to die like this first?" ”

However, before Feng Zhang could open his mouth to persuade anything, he first gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, today's situation, it's all to blame for this dog thief, if it weren't for this dog thief who falsely reported his war exploits, how could our army be in such a predicament." Now, I will slay this thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people! ”

Speaking of which, the gritted teeth also wanted to let the left and right directly execute Halbanda tonight. But just when he wanted to give such an order, Feng Zhang, who had been standing beside him, stopped him. "My lord, Harban replied that this thief should indeed be killed."

"But if the Lord kills him at this time on the charge of falsely reporting his exploits, it will surely cause the 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Halbanda to be terrified, and even more so to distract those soldiers. But now is the time when the situation is critical, and it is really not appropriate to make a branch out of the festival. Therefore, the lower official also asks the adults that you can take back your fate. ”

Hearing Feng Zhang's words, Ye Xian, who calmed down a little, couldn't help but swallow the command that was about to blurt out.

But even so, because of the panic and anger, the brain at this time was also like a mess, and no good way to retreat from the enemy was not come up.

However, although he had no choice, Feng Zhang was different. Feng Zhang, who experienced countless storms in his early years and climbed up from the bottom little by little, is indeed not comparable in terms of mental character. Therefore, although the situation at this time was extremely crisis, after calming down, Feng Zhang still came up with an idea.

"My lord, it is obviously impossible to withdraw troops now. Not only must they not even withdraw their troops, but they must also block this news, and they must not let the soldiers below know about the fact that their food supply has been cut off at this time. Speaking of this, Feng Chang couldn't help but command a personal guard guarding the door: "Quick, call me the scout soldier who came to ask for help, I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes!" Hearing Feng Zhang's words, the guard guarding the door, after singing a fat promise, also hurriedly called Lu Liu in again.
