Ma Yan's heart moved when he heard this, and said with a smile, "There is some truth. ”

After Ma Tan finished ordering things, he turned around and was about to leave with Peng A and his violent death guards, when he remembered something and reminded Ding Feng.

"Although the lord didn't say it, but the Nanban battalion is the backbone of my troublesome soldiers, and when the time comes, it is the time for the army to show their skills when they fight Zhang Liao. It's better to get things done here as soon as possible, recharge early, and get ready. ”

Ding Feng smiled proudly when he heard this, "Of course!" How can this kind of tough battle be less than my Ding Feng. ”

Ma Tan left at the Nanban camp, and then went to the gates.

Before leaving, it was like being on the side of the Nanban camp, and he comforted and encouraged.

Cen Wolf's Huozi Battalion is the elite of the trouble-relieving soldiers, and he has long had psychological expectations, but he is not surprised. 、

However, Kong Jiao and Ji Li were very flattered.

Ma Zhong was busy planning a strategy to deal with Zhang Liao, and failed to go to their camp to supervise the battle as promised.

This made them feel very disappointed.

I was a little apprehensive and confused.

Ma Tan's soothing of them made them settle down a little.

According to Li Sizheng's proposal, Ma Tan directly asked Simen to start digging trench fortifications.

Zhang Wei and Wang Zhizheng on the tower of the city sighed for a long time about the matter of peace, and suddenly heard a report from someone who told the story of the Jiangdong army's excavation of fortifications outside the four gates.

Wang Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Wei couldn't help but say angrily, "Of course their plan to delay the army succeeded!" As soon as the person withdraws, he will immediately prepare to turn his face! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zhi with an unkind face.

Wang Zhi naturally saw Zhang Wei's face, and scolded secretly in his heart, really pretending to be confused.

Don't you know who gave this order for peace?

But the suggestion came out of his mouth after all. Wang Zhi had no choice but to say, "It's okay, originally we also had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, outside the city, they can toss as much as they want." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but stab Zhang Wei again, "You can't throw a few more camps into it." ”

In the final analysis, Zhang Wei was the main battle at the beginning, but not only did he not take advantage of the cheap, but in the end he took the route of sticking.

Pingbai caused such a big loss, to say that Wang Zhi has no opinion in his heart, it is also false.

Zhang Wei's face was a little gloomy when he heard this.

Wang Zhi didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and said to the herald, "Send someone to ask at once, since they are still making peace talks with us, I think they should give us an explanation." ”

Zhang Wei couldn't help but grumble on the side, "What's the point of fooling children to explain?" ”

Wang Zhi didn't care, he said flatly, "We are not going to fight anymore, and it is good for them to bother making up excuses." ”

Zhang Wei didn't expect Wang Zhi to be boring, boring, and helpless to this extent.

He said stupidly, "The matter here is entrusted to Wang Sima, and I, Zhang, will not be here to be an eyesore." ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Wang Zhi looked at Zhang Wei's back and couldn't help but shake his head.

The soldiers who had gone out to summon the king's message soon returned.

Obviously, the liberation soldiers did not spend much time making up excuses.

And that simple and domineering response made Wang Zhi know that this was absolutely true without thinking.

"Sima of the other department has already taken a fancy to your Liyang City, and has long regarded this place as something in his pocket, what does he want to do, can he let you?"

Wang Zhi couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect that someone would actually fall in love with this place.

In that case, it is obvious that the intentions of the Jiangdong Army cannot be judged.

However, how could he, a small Sima, have such great ambition and dare to touch a place that neither the imperial court nor the Jiangdong Army dared to touch.

The king waved his hand to the herald to stand down, and then casually mocked, "Let them go." ”

Under the acquiescence and ignorance of the Liyang Army, the trouble-relieving soldiers smoothly dug and hooked up the tunnels everywhere.

As soon as the sun set in the west, the camps outside the three city gates had completed their preparations.

Now they waited for the sun to set, and together they dug a trench to the moat.

Not long after nightfall, the Yamaji Battalion, which had the smallest number of people and the slowest progress, was also prepared.

Then they used themselves as supplies to evacuate from the camp one after another.

The soldiers watching from the city saw the soldiers of the various battalions of the Liberation Army by the faint moonlight, and left their camps with large carts and small carts pushing supplies.

They hurriedly reported Wang Zhi, who was still waiting for the further movement of the troubled soldiers.

Wang Zhi laughed when he heard this, and no longer had the slightest concern.

During the day, he bluffed and strengthened the fortifications, and at night he slipped away quietly while people were not paying attention.

Whether they fled back to Jiangdong or organized their troops and horses to meet the crusade of the imperial court, it had nothing to do with their Liyang army.

Wang Zhi shook his head while laughing, went down the city tower, and went directly back to his official office to rest.

By the time night wore on, the departing soldiers had eaten their meals and quietly left the city to dig a trench leading to the moat.

Although the sentries of the Liyang Army in the city saw some movement under the city, the relief soldiers had been digging like this for a day, and those sentries had long lost their due vigilance in their hearts in addition to laughing at the Liyang Army.

By daybreak, the vast expanse of land outside the city had become a land of Ze.

Those soft and damp lands were soaked thoroughly by the Wujiang River water. The trenches, large and small, turned into soft mud puddles.

Just behind the mud of these mudflats, which do not know the depth, there is a hastily erected camp head standing there.

Liyang Jun, who woke up from his sleep, saw this scene and hurriedly went to inform the military Sima Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi listened and thought slightly, and then couldn't help but praise, "Great, it seems that they are planning to fight to the death with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!" ”

Then he said to himself, "You want to go to the two tigers to fight, how can I stop you?" ”

Saying that, Wang Zhi instructed the soldiers, "Don't pay attention to it, let's just guard the city gate." ”

……

Ma Zhong watched in the camp all morning and saw that the Liyang army did not have the slightest countermeasure.

couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled, "It's okay, people are selfish!" ”

Being able to watch others fight without harming their own interests is a good thing that they refuse to do.

Ma Zhong looked at the people sitting around him on the left and right, and said casually, "Who else hasn't come?" ”

Li Fei counted it carefully and said the names of several military candidates.

Ma Zhong nodded, "They do have some things to deal with, that's it, Zhang Da, you go and beat the drum and gather the generals, let them throw away the things at hand and rush over as soon as possible." Zhang Liao is menacing, hehe, it's time for him to know who Ma Zhong is. ”
