Shinno, the county keeper's house.

"Attack the city tonight?" Xun Yu glanced at Wang Wei in surprise and asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

Wang Wei nodded heavily, he had thought that Xu Tai would attack the city a few days ago, but there was no movement, it seemed that Xu Tai was waiting for something, at that time he ordered the guards to immediately control a small family that already had conclusive information to prove that the other party had surrendered to the enemy, this news was conveyed by them, "It should be reliable, they dare not lie for self-preservation." ”

"Hmm." Xun Yu was naturally very aware of the nature of these families, and asked Wang Weidao: "What does General Wang plan to do?" ”

"Just in case, the new recruits of the last general are already under the command of the deputy general Zhang Lan, and they are not allowed to participate in the war." Wang Wei smiled bitterly: "Originally, I wanted to use war to support the war this time, but I learned from the mouth of the family who surrendered to Cheng that nearly one-third of the family soldiers were mixed in this group of recruits, so they could only let them truce." ”

"A third!" Xun Yu's face changed suddenly, and he said: "I didn't expect so many recruits to be mixed in, it seems that the transformation of the family in Yiyang County is really urgent." However, General Wang, can you defend the city alone? ”

"Mr. Xun, don't underestimate the elite trained by the last general." Wang Wei was slightly dissatisfied with Xun Yu's questioning, Xun Yu didn't mind Wang Wei's dissatisfaction at all, and motioned for Wang Wei to continue.

Wang Wei said: "Since Xu Tai has an internal response, we might as well plan it!" Let them open the gates of the city and let them into the city, and then come and catch turtles in an urn. What does Mr. Xun think about this? ”

"Good strategy." Xun Yu praised Wang Wei and said: "Although Xinye Town is small, it is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch. General Wang could flank General Wenpin to block their retreat. ”

Wang Wei's eyes lit up and said, "Yes! Then they are left to our slaughter. The last general will go down and arrange it! "Then we have to leave quickly.

"General Wang, slow down!" The corner of Xun Yu's eyes inadvertently swept over the map of Xinye, and Wen hired three thousand foot soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain on the side, not far from Xu Tai's camp, he was shocked in his heart, and called Wang Wei, who was about to leave: "I'm afraid there is fraud in it." ”

Wang Wei stopped and asked confusedly, "What did Mr. Xun see?" ”

Xun Yu pointed to Xu Tai's camp, and then pointed to Wenpin's camp, and said: "Although Xinye is a small city, the defenders have 5,000 people, and his Xu Tai's 3,000 soldiers will undoubtedly be killed when they attack Xinye. Think about it, could he be so stupid? ”

Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "In other words, I wouldn't hit a stone with an egg, but why did he only besiege and not attack for a few days?" ”

"Reinforcements!" As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, he immediately came to his senses: "If his guess is right, he must be waiting for Ji Ling's reinforcements." ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "General Wang's guess is good, but the most important thing should be grain and grass." ”

Wang Wei was stunned: "Grain and grass? ”

"Hmm." Xun Yu said, "If the inference is good, Xu Tai besieged for several days without attacking, firstly, he was waiting for Ji Ling's reinforcements, but his expectations for Ji Ling were too high." Second, he should also realize that attacking Xinye with his little strength is indeed worth the loss, the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, and Ji Ling will not give him food supplies. Therefore, besieging Xinye for a few days was just a show for Ji Ling. ”

"As for the choice to attack General Wen, I think it must be the result of the family's consultation with him." Xun Yu explained: "Returning in vain is a good handle for Ji Ling and the family behind him to restrain the Xu family. Xu Tai, as a person who is focused on cultivating by the Xu family, must not be bad in his vision and thoughts, and he should have seen this. In order to reduce his handle, he had to capture the military camp as a means of self-salvation. ”

"In the past few days, the food hoarded by the family in the city has suddenly been sold to the people at a very high price, secretly manipulating rumors, brewing accidents, and causing us to be overwhelmed, which should also be the means by which the family and Xu Tai responded, the purpose is to catch us off guard and unable to support General Wen."

Wang Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this: "There are still many doorways in the family. The last general understood, and sent his henchmen to inform General Wen, and the last general personally led his troops to attack Xu Tai. ”

"General Wang doesn't need to be like this." Xun Yu smiled: "We may be able to use this opportunity to get rid of the unfavorable elements in the army." ”

"What does Mr. Xun mean by that group of uneasy and kind-hearted family soldiers?" Wang Wei's eyes lit up and asked.

Xun Yu said: "Exactly." The general personally led the recruits and a thousand elites to support General Wen, and as for the family in the city, the general could send personal guards to control it immediately after the battle, waiting for the county guard to fall. ”

"Yuan Shu crusaded against Dong Zhuo's return to the south, and most of his troops and grain and grass had been lost. A few days ago, the eldest prince burned down the granary of Gushi in Runan County, and the general did not have to worry about Ji Ling's reinforcements. What's more, it is the cold winter season now, and if they want to attack Yiyang County with all their might, they have to solve the winter. Xun Yu's analysis completely dispelled the worries in Wang Wei's heart.

"No!" Wang Wei took the order and left. Xun Yu looked confident, sat firmly in the house and waited for news.

****************************

It was getting late, and Xu Tai took advantage of the dark night to quietly pass through Xinye and rush towards Wenpin's Dazhai.

From a distance, the fire in Dazhai was lit, and a few human voices were faintly heard, obviously they were not aware of the approaching danger.

"Liu Biao's beloved generals? But that's about it. Xu Tai sneered in a low voice, raised his hand, and rushed out first: "Kill in!" Whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded! ”

There must be warriors under the heavy reward, as soon as Xu Tai's words fell, those soldiers who were not afraid of death rushed in: "Kill! Come on! ”

When several scouts guarding outside Dazhai saw the menacing Xu Tai, they immediately panicked and fled in all directions without even saying the alarm. Xu Tai was overjoyed when he saw it, and he couldn't help but laugh at Liu Biao's subordinates for being so unbearable, and he took the lead in rushing into Dazhai.

In Dazhai, the fire in the camp tent everywhere is not lit, only the fire of the military tent in Wenpin is lit, and Wen Pin is vaguely seen sitting inside. Xu Tai was overjoyed and was about to rush over.

At this moment, something happened suddenly! The surrounding camp tents suddenly lit up, and the sword and shield hands that poured out from all directions surrounded Xu Tai's 3,000 sergeants in the school yard in the village.

"Not good! Medium! Xu Tai was alert, and suddenly shouted: "It's a trick!" Retreat quickly! ”

The rear army did not hear Xu Tai's call, and rushed forward, but the front army was desperately retreating, and suddenly collided in the middle, and the three thousand soldiers immediately disorganized.

"Are you okay?" Wen Ping slowly walked out of the tent of the Chinese army and sneered: "Is this a place where you can just come and go?!" ”

Xu Tai's expression was resolute, and he fiercely pushed away the sergeant who was in a panic, without looking at Wen Ping, and roared angrily: "The rear army has become the front army, retreat immediately!" He knew that the longer he stayed here, the shorter he would live.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately followed what Xu Tai said, the former army changed to the rear army, and the rear army became the former army and intended to re-emerge from Dazhai. Wen Ping said calmly: "The trapped beast is still fighting!" Soldiers, kill me! ”

Wen Ping gave an order, and the sword and shield hands from all directions slaughtered like hungry wolves. Xu Tai cut off a few people, and immediately arrived at the gate of Dazhai, but the screams from front made him look like death.

"General! There was an ambush outside Dazhai, and most of our front army lost! The henchmen and guards were shocked, but Xu Tai was furious and shouted: "Rush with me!" Staying here is a dead end. ”

He pushed away the guards who were guarding him, lifted his broadsword and killed him. Wen Ping commanded the soldiers in the village to cover up and kill Xu Tai's soldiers who were dragging the rear army, and ordered the sword and shield men to close the gate of the camp to prevent the enemy troops in the village from withdrawing from the scope of covering, and said secretly: "Zizhen, Xu Tai will be handed over to you." ”

Wang Wei was ambushed near the camp early in the morning, and when he saw Xu Tai breaking out with less than half of his troops, he raised his arms and shouted: "The enemy army is coming, kill me!" Under his command, more than 1,000 new recruits immediately rushed forward, and Wang Wei and the elite deliberately stayed at the end and waited for those children of the family to move, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Sure enough, as Wang Wei expected, when the recruits of more than 1,000 meters saw that Xu Tai was in trouble, there were 200 people who were caught off guard and secretly attacked and killed the recruits, and for a time the recruits fell into the assassination of the rebels and the enemy's attack, and the screams were endless.

Seeing this, Xu Tai was overjoyed and said, "Our reinforcements are coming, brothers are killing!" "Reinforcements are coming! As soon as these words came out, Xu Tai's subordinates, whose morale was already very low, suddenly rose up and rushed out one after another.

The undercover agents hidden in the recruits all rebelled, Wang Wei saw that the time was ripe, drew his long knife, and said angrily: "Sons, the rebels and the enemy have come out to defeat this group of thieves!" ”

It is worthy of being the elite trained by Wang Wei, and before Wang Wei finished speaking, he rushed up one by one, and cut hundreds of rebels into meat sauce on the spot.

The enemy soldiers in the village died to death, and they had no power to resist, so Wen hired someone to take care of hundreds of soldiers, and ordered to open the gate of the village, and kill them with swords and shields.

Under the attack from both sides, the morale of Xu Tai's army of more than 3,000 people, which had not been rising for a long time, fell to the bottom again, and they were still fighting to the death. Xu Tai was also powerless at this time.

Wang Wei went straight to Xu Tai, slashed Xu Tai's personal guards who were besieging him with several knives, and said condescendingly: "To descend or not to surrender?" ”

"I'm willing to surrender..."Xu Tai knew that he was invincible, dropped his weapon, and said dejectedly.

As soon as Xu Tai's word "surrender" came out, the remaining hundreds of foot soldiers threw down their weapons one after another, stopped resisting and said, "I am willing to surrender." ”

Wang Weiwen and the two looked at each other and smiled, collected the defeated army, and said secretly: "It's up to Mr. Xun." ”

As everyone knows, when there was a sound of rushing and killing from the Wenpin camp, the families in Xinye City were also ready to move, waiting for an opportunity. But it was Xun Yu who took the lead, and ordered Wang Wei's deputy general Zhang Lan to lead the elite to lurk beside him, and suppressed it early, and all the families who wanted to rebel were arrested and imprisoned on charges of defecting to the enemy, and their homes were raided.
