"Long obeyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sima Lang took the order with emotion.

At that moment, Sima Lang took Yuan Shang's handwritten letter. Hurriedly said goodbye.

"Big brother, stay here." He went out on his front foot. Sima Yi followed with his hind feet.

"Second brother, do you have any other advice?" Sima Lang stopped.

Sima Yi said solemnly: "Although the Zhou army only has an infantry army. However, Zhang Yuan is scheming. There is also a guy named Ji Chang under his command. Possess a crossbowman called the Broken Barracks. It is a sharp weapon that destroys cavalry. If the lord went here, he invited Zhang Yan. Be sure to remind him. Don't let him fall for Zhang Yuan's tricks. ”

Sima Yi was deeply jealous of Zhang Yuan. Will Zhang Yuan's means of employing troops. and the equipment of the Zhou army. The analysis is extremely thorough. That's when I knew it all. Professor Sima Lang's foolproof strategy.

Sima Lang's ability to be a general. Naturally, I am convinced. Listen carefully to every word. Firmly in mind.

The second brother said. Mine has been written down. Rest assured. I'm here. Zhang Yan would never fall for Zhang Yuan's tricks. Sima Lang said confidently.

Sima Yi was relieved. He arched his hand towards him: "My lord." The safety of the nephew. The survival of the world's families. and left it all to the lord. ”

Sima Lang also said solemnly: "Zhongda, don't worry. I'm going. must persuade that Zhang Yan to send troops to help. ”

Let's talk about it. Sima Lang said goodbye to Sima Yi. Starry night and north. Rush to Montenegro.

Sima Yi has always been his lord. Sent out of the realm of rest outside the customs. Standing at the head of the city. watched the ride go north. The eagle's eyes are deep. He said coldly to himself: "Zhang Yuan." As long as I am here, Sima Yi is here. You don't want to get ......."

……

East of Taiyuan County. Forty miles east of Kei Castle.

The battle flag of the Great Zhou. Flying in the wind. That stretches with no end in sight. A marching march in high spirits.

"The King. Forty miles further on. It is the easternmost city of Taiyuan County. The defenders of the city were no more than seven hundred. "The rushing rebuke of the report.

Zhang Yuan's spirit was lifted. Gladly shouted, "Pass the order." The whole army accelerated its march. It must be before Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrive. Capture the city for the king. ”

Kei Cheng is the farthest city in the southeast of Taiyuan County. It is also the southeast gateway of Yueyang City. Just take this Kei Castle. Zhang Yuan's army was able to enter the Taiyuan Basin smoothly. The terrain ahead will only flourish and open up. It will be more conducive to the deployment of large corps. Take advantage of his strengths.

Li Si reminded: "Yuan Shang should have learned the news of the fall of Huguan a long time ago. At this time, the reinforcements should have rushed to Keicheng to set up defenses. Now there are only 700 defenders in Keijo. Seems a bit quirky. ”

"Lees, what are you worried about?" Zhang Yuan heard the meaning of his words.

Li Si said: "Yuan Shang doesn't have many soldiers and horses left. If he leads his army back to help. It is possible to fall into a situation where the north and the south cannot be taken into account. A situation of total defeat. What's at stake. Yuan Shang couldn't see it. Then Sima Yi shouldn't be out of sight. So I think it's good. Yuan Shang would never take a simple approach to leading his army back to help. Tough way to go toe-to-toe with us. ”

Li Si has a point. Sima Yi. is ten times more shrewd than Yuan Shang. Don't be careful. Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. That Li Sijue's. Sima Yi will let Yuan Shangruzhong stop us. ”

Li Si said without thinking: "Our army is difficult to travel because of the Taihang Mountain Road. So advance only lightly with infantry. Most of the cavalry was still behind. Even the broken barracks were heavy because of the heavy crossbows. Left behind. Right now, we're in the open. Cavalry against us is the best way. Sima Yi should be able to think of this. ”

Cavalry.

Zhang Yuan's brows froze slightly. Thoughtfully.

Don't wait for Zhang Yuan to speak. Li Dingguo had already laughed and said, "I said Li Si." I think you're overthinking it this time. Yuan Shang is now poor jingle. Where is he going to conjure up a cavalry to deal with us? ”

"Yuan Shang has no cavalry at hand. But to the east of Montenegro. Zhang Yan has more than 10,000 iron horses. I'm afraid that Yuan Shang will send someone to invite Zhang Yan out of the mountain to help in the war. Li Si pointed to the east.

Hear Zhang Yan's name. Zhang Yuan's heart was shocked. It seems to think about something.

"You're just thinking too much." Li Dingguo smiled disapprovingly. "Li Si, you don't want to think about it. That Zhang Yan has always been at odds with the Yuan family. Now Yuan Shang is in trouble. Zhang Yan should gloat. How could he save Yuan Shang. He's sick. ”

Li Si sneered and was silent. seems to disdain to explain to Li Dingguo, a brainless rough person. only looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan has already understood. Said silently: "Zhang Yan was against Yuan Shao at that time. It was because Yuan Shao unified Hebei. threatened his secession. Now the king is about to defeat Yuan. There is a great tendency to unify Hebei. threatened his secession. This time. Send troops to help Yuan Shang. Maintain the existence of the nephew. is in his interest. ”

Zhang Yuan spoke. Li Dingguo was dizzy. A head of fog. I haven't reacted for a while.

"Yue Gong is wise." Li Si smiled and arched his hand. "Just in case. I don't think we're suspending our march. Wait for the cavalry to follow. Or the arrival of a broken barracks. It is not too late to continue the march to Kei Castle. ”

"No."

Zhang Yuan immediately denied it. He said decisively: "Now the rain is booming. It won't take another month. Taihang Mountain will be muddy and difficult to walk. Our army's food and grass supplies cannot keep up. Even if there is a broken barracks and cavalry, it will not help. We don't have time to delay any longer. It is necessary to enter the Taiyuan Basin immediately. to be able to get food on the spot. ”

Li Si's body shook slightly. In a blink of an eye, he comprehended Zhang Yuan's intentions.

Spring rains fall. The mountain road is muddy. Unfavorable grain and grass transport is inevitable. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to attack the Taiyuan Basin as soon as possible. Capture the cities of Taiyuan County. in order to get all the grain and grass in the treasury. For the use of your own army. This is called fighting for war.

"The king is right. It's just that we don't have a heavy crossbow to break the army. There were no cavalry. If that Zhang Yanzhen led the cavalry to intercept it. It's still a headache. Lees reminded.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand. sneered: "That's your Li Si's business." It's time to see if you can improvise. Come up with a clever plan to break the enemy. Let this king take advantage of the situation to destroy Zhang Yan, the thief. ”

Li Si was stunned. He immediately smiled and said nothing.

……

The army continued to advance north.

In the evening. The army advanced twenty miles southeast of Keijo. Then. The rebuke was sent in return. Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Bandits. He has led 10,000 iron cavalry to advance to garrison Jicheng.

Developments in the world. Sure enough, it was the same as what Li Si was worried about.

The generals of the Great Zhou heard that the Black Mountain cavalry was coming. Most of the generals proposed a moratorium on the march. Wait for the follow-up crossbow battalion and cavalry to arrive. Fight the enemy again.

All the generals are famous. All of them are brave heroes. Naturally, they weren't afraid of Zhang Yan. It's that they know it. The pros and cons of both the enemy and the enemy.
