Pang Tong pondered for a moment: "The key to breaking the game should be Cao Pi's army." ”

"As long as Cao Pi can't take Xincheng, then Cao Pi can't attack Dagu Pass or Lu Hun of Hongnong County, let alone cross Luoshui to besiege Hongnong County."

"So the general only needs to send a general from Hongnong County to lead his troops to reinforce Xincheng."

"In this way, even if a certain general in Hongnong County arrives later because of time, he can at least hold Lu Hun in Hongnong County."

"If Cao Pi chooses to attack Dagu Pass, he can still make the general of Hongnong not attack Xincheng and cut off Cao Pi's back road!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a while, and felt that for now, it was indeed not a way, at least it would not be completely controlled by others.

Therefore, he nodded: "Then send someone to expedite eight hundred miles and send a letter to Dian Wei of Hongnong County, asking him to lead an army of 15,000 to reinforce Yin Xincheng in Henan." ”

"If the new city is broken, Cao Pi will lead a large army to attack Hongnong County, let him garrison Luhun, and Cao Pi's department will not be allowed to enter Hongnong County."

"If Cao Pi leads his troops to attack Dagu Pass, let him recapture Xincheng and cut off Cao Pi's back road!"

As for the current soldiers and horses in Hongnong County, Zhao Feng estimates that there are more than 20,000 people in total.

After all, Zhao Feng had not given other armies to replenish the lost number of troops before.

And Dian Wei and others, with more than 25,000 troops, want to take Hongnong County, there will inevitably be losses, even if they collect some prisoners, it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 people.

If these armies from all walks of life want to completely replenish their establishment, they will at least not be replenished until the end of this year, when Zhao Feng trains the newly recruited 60,000 recruits.

Of course, the main reason for this is that last year, Hu Chuquan just sent 50,000 war horses, and Zhao Feng was also in urgent need of cavalry.

So 50,000 cavalry were trained in one go.

Otherwise, in fact, there would not be a situation in which all kinds of armies are dissatisfied with their establishment.

Of course, without these 50,000 cavalry, Zhao Feng would not have been able to send troops to go deep alone to plunder Cao Cao's grain and pay taxes.

Pang Tong waved at Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

After speaking, he quickly wrote down the order given by Zhao Feng, and then handed it to Zhao Feng to look at it.

After getting Zhao Feng's nod and agreement, he handed over the documents to the guard at the gate of the big tent and asked him to send a herald to Hongnong County to be handed over to Dian Wei in an urgent manner.

Following.

Zhang He walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”

"The last general will lead the headquarters and set up camp outside the city."

Zhao Feng nodded: "What about the casualties of your department?" Xiahoudun's department, what is the situation? ”

Zhang He sighed: "Xiahou thief, led an army of more than 20,000 people, and pursued our department all the way. ”

"Our department has suffered heavy losses, and there are less than two thousand people at present!"

Zhao Feng thought about it in his heart.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had a total of about 50,000 troops.

In other words, Xiahoudun's department should be about 25,000 soldiers and horses.

After the previous harassment, although the exact number of soldiers and horses was not determined, it was probably less than 25,000 soldiers and horses.

Now that more than 20,000 troops have been sent to pursue Zhang He, it is obviously impossible for the remaining troops to pursue Wen Chou.

Because even if it's a 5,000-part trilogy, it's useless to go all out to pursue Wen Chou's department.

In the case that the difference in strength is not large, in case Wen Chou leads his troops to fight an ambush battle, these 5,000 parts will be fully explained.

Therefore, Zhao Feng estimated that Xiahoudun should let the five thousand parts stay in Lanling, Xiangtai, and Tan counties to prevent Wen Chou's side from sneaking up on a certain county seat.

And Xiahoudun led an army of more than 20,000 people, and joined forces with Xiahou Yuan to besiege Jiqiu.

Zhao Feng looked at Pang Tong, said his inner analysis, and then asked, "Shi Yuan thinks, is my analysis correct?" ”

Pang Tong pondered for a moment: "At present, the general's analysis should be eight or nine!" ”

"Although besieging the country of Zhangguo and Jiqiu separately seems to increase the chances of victory, it also increases the defeat rate."

"After all, if you want to capture a city, there are many factors."

"And Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, together with the hills, as long as they can win a battle, they can do it once and for all."

"In addition, General Zhang is now back in Jiqiu, and Xiahoudun should not be far from Jiqiu."

"The general wants to transfer back the reinforcements of the country at this time, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he pondered for a moment.

Judging from Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Zhao Feng will definitely not gather all his troops in one place.

It must be in the country of Zhangguo and Jiqiu, respectively, sent troops to garrison, otherwise if Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan divided their troops to attack, wouldn't they directly lose a city?

So if they divide their troops, they will fall into Zhao Feng's hands.

And now the armies of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are about to encircle Jiqiu.

Even if Zhao Feng went to transfer the army of the State of Xuan to reinforce at this time, it would take a day and a half.

And it doesn't take a day and a half, or even a day, to surround the 40,000 or so troops of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

When the time comes, the reinforcements of the Jinguo country will not be able to enter Jiqiu at all!

Moreover, even if reinforcements from the State of Xuan came, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan could still surround the point to send reinforcements, consuming Zhao Feng's troops, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Feng groaned slightly: "Send someone to send an order to Xia Zhu, and ask her to immediately lead the troops back to Jiqiu to garrison." ”

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

This kind of order does not need to be transferred by paperwork, as long as Zhao Feng's herald goes to talk to Xia Zhu.

After all, this kind of lie is too easy to debunk, and no one will do it.

And Xia Zhu led the female soldiers, who were stationed between Jiqiu and Zhangguo before.

In other words, as long as the Xiahou brothers did not besiege Jiqiu before dark today, Xia Zhu would be able to enter the city overnight.

Under normal circumstances, no general would send troops to besiege the city when it was about to get dark.

What if there are traps and ambushes around?

Even if there are no traps or ambushes, what if the defenders in the city take advantage of the night and suddenly make a surprise attack?

Therefore, it is generally necessary to wait for the next morning to send sentinels to investigate the surrounding situation clearly, and then slowly besiege the city.

Wait for the bear to leave.

Zhao Feng looked at Zhang He: "Lead the headquarters into the city to repair." ”

Zhang He bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

Wait for Zhang He to leave.

Zhao Feng stood up and looked at Pang Tong: "Prepare a document and hand it to Huang Zhong, let him lead the headquarters, and Wei Yan's headquarters, and camp outside the city." ”

"The rest of the tribes, follow me into the city!"

Pang Tong waved at Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

After speaking, he quickly wrote the document and order, and then gave Zhao Feng a look, and walked out of the Chinese army's tent with Zhao Feng.
