Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Cangtou army stopped five miles away from Ningyang City.
Five hundred paces away, the Qi army lined up.
Jia Yanfu sat high on the horse's back, crossed his arms, his face was cold, and his mood was very depressed. I thought it was an easy battle, and the merit of suppressing thieves was at my fingertips, but I didn't expect Duan Wencao to be so shameless and betrayal of his promise, but the victory was gone, and the battle record was gone, and the soldiers of the Qi army, who had worked hard for more than half a month and traveled thousands of miles, fell a lot, and Zhang Xutuo, who had carefully planned for a long time and exhausted his efforts, got nothing, and finally had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and hurriedly embarked on the road back. This is a great shame for Zhang Xutuo and Qi Jun.
Zhang Yuanbei came at a gallop under the command of a team of knights.
"Are there any signs of an attack by the thieves?" Zhang Yuanbei asked loudly while raising his eyes into the distance.
Jia Yanfu shook his head, "We let the thieves' scouts inquire about the army, and the thieves are clear about the deployment of our army. They saw that we had stopped the siege of the city, and the main force had moved in the direction of Gongqiu, and they couldn't figure out the reality of our army at all, just because the thieves in the city had no worries about their lives for the time being, and there was also a threat from the direction of the flawed hill, how could they rashly attack? ā
"White thieves are cunning, don't be careless." Zhang Yuanbei sneered, "Han Jinluo and the other Luxi thieves are just a rabble, and it is this Mengshan white thief who really threatens us. ā
Jia Yanfu raised the horsewhip and shook it a few times, then slowly said, "I have some doubts. Before, we received a report from Duan Wencao, saying that it was the white thieves who attacked Ningyang, but after we surrounded Ningyang, there were now Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche thieves in Ningyang City, why is this? Did Duan Wencao deliberately deceive us, or did he also make a mistake? ā
This matter is not only confused by Jia Yanfu, but even Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Yuanbei and others are very confused. According to the predetermined strategy, if the white thieves and the Cangtou army can be surrounded and annihilated in Ningyang City, the remaining thieves and other rebels will not have to worry, so that the crisis in southwest Lu can be reversed in a battle. Yesterday, when Luo Shixin arrived outside Ningyang City at noon to inquire about the military situation, he had not seen the white tiger banner of the white thief and the Cangtou army, which shows that there must be an unknown secret in it. But now that Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao have turned their faces, it doesn't matter if there is a hidden secret, Zhang Yuanbei and Jia Yanfu think that it is a good thing for the white thief and the Cangtou army to occupy the initiative on the battlefield, so that Duan Wencao is in trouble, and the more trouble Duan Wencao has, the happier they are. Who told you to calculate? calculated and calculated, but in the end, he calculated himself, and he deserved to shoot himself in the foot.
"There is no need to deceive us in this matter." Zhang Yuanbei glanced at Jia Yanfu, paused for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then said, "We captured some prisoners, and the captives confessed that Ningyang was beaten down by the white thieves, and they were under the city of Yuancheng at that time, and they heard that the white thieves had conquered Ningyang City, and there were mountains of grain in the city, so they rushed into Ningyang City in a swarm. ā
Jia Yanfu laughed, "In this way, the white thieves and the Cangtou army are great good people, they have taken down the city, but they don't want the spoils of war, and let others take it captive. It's not enough to do good deeds, it's still very righteous, and he hurriedly ran to the area of Yuancheng to block Duan Wencao, so as not to be attacked by Duan Wencao by those who plundered grain in Ningyang City. What is the purpose of the white thief? Regain people's hearts? Or help Han Jinluo thieves to grow stronger? ā
Zhang Yuanbei's brows furrowed even deeper, "What is certain is that the white thief is very cunning and treacherous, and it is not easy to deal with. ā
"What does this have to do with us?" Jia Yanfu gloated and sneered, "It's Duan Wencao who has a headache, Ming Gong and we won't come to Lu County again." ā
Zhang Yuanbei shook his head disapprovingly, pointing forward, "Do you think he will attack?" ā
"We have already laid a trap under Ningyang City, and we have clearly told him that this is a trap, and you say he will jump in?"
"Since he's here, it means he's jumped off."
"He didn't jump in." Jia Yanfu retorted, "He can evacuate at any time, and the initiative is in his hands." ā
"In that case, why did he come?"
"Because we want him to come." Jia Yanfu smiled, "If he doesn't come, if he doesn't put on a desperate posture with us, how can Duan Wencao come?" ā
Zhang Yuanbei pondered for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and nodded thoughtfully, "For the white thief, if he wants to stay in Mengshan, the biggest enemy is not us, but Duan Wencao." ā
"It's the same for Duan Wencao, if he wants to stabilize Lu County, he must kill the white thief." Jia Yanfu said, "If a certain is a white thief, put yourself in your shoes, and you will not rush to grab food after conquering Ningyang City." Duan Wencao was eyeing the flawed hill, and before he could grab the food, Duan Wencao had already killed. It is true that Duan Wencao did not kill, but we surrounded Ningyang City and caught the thieves off guard. Therefore, if the white thief wants to grab the food security, he must first defeat Duan Wencao, beat Duan Wencao to the point of dying, and hide in the city of Defective Hill and dare not come out, and this is done. ā
Zhang Yuanbei continued to agree with Jia Yanfu's analysis. The two looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of murderous aura in each other's eyes, and the opportunity to retaliate against Duan Wencao came.
"Do you want to test the white thief?" Jia Yanfu built yƬ road.
Zhang Yuanbei thought for a moment and was about to speak, when he heard the drums beating in the enemy formation on the opposite side, and the enemy was about to attack.
"Good time!" Jia Yanfu laughed and said, "If you can get what you want today, before cutting off this thief's head in the next day, you will definitely give him a bowl of wine to express your gratitude." ā

The Cangtou army attacked, and the battle formation was pushed forward step by step, about two hundred steps away from the Qi army, and then the big horns roared in unison, the bows and crossbows were raised, the arrows were in unison, and the killing sound was even more earth-shattering.
After three volleys, the Cangtou army did not advance but retreated, and retreated far away.
Zhang Yuanbei and Jia Yanfu looked at each other and laughed in unison. Sure enough, it was a temptation, and the white thief was indeed an extraordinary person.
"Beat the drums, attack!" Jia Yanfu decisively ordered.
The drums of the Qi army beat, the battle array pushed forward, about two hundred steps away from the Cangtou army, and then the big horns sounded in unison, the bows and crossbows were raised, the arrows were all together, and the sound of killing was also earth-shattering.
After three volleys, the Qi army also retreated to a distant place.

Li Fengyun looked at the battle formation of the Qi army and shook his head with a smile.
"Zhang Xutuo is gone." Yuan An was excited and shouted loudly, "Ming Gong, Zhang Xutuo must be gone, otherwise he will never respond to our temptation." As Ming Gong speculated, Zhang Xutuo was extremely angry at Duan Wencao's treachery and led the main force away, and the army in front was just leaving the aftermath. ā
"Aftermath, good aftermath." Li Fengyun smiled, "Interesting, I don't know who is on the other side, go get to know each other." ā
Yuan An was taken aback, "Ming Gong can't." ā
Li Fengyun galloped out of his horse, his long knife was upside down, and he swept towards the enemy formation with twenty horsemen and clouds.
Over there, Jia Yanfu showed no weakness, raised his horse lance and waved it again and again, and rushed to the battlefield with twenty horsemen.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ā
Suddenly, the drums and trumpets on both sides were noisy, and the sound of killing echoed between heaven and earth like thunder.

Blemish Hill City.
Scouts scattered all over the place rushed to deliver the news to the county warden's office.
After the fall of Ningyang City, Han Jinluo and other thief armies who had surrounded Yuancheng suddenly rushed to Ningyang to loot grain, and then strange things happened, after the white thief's cangtou army captured Ningyang City, it actually appeared under Yuancheng City, and instead of Han Jinluo and other thief troops, they took on the heavy responsibility of blocking the official army of Defective Hill.
Why did the White Thieves and the Greyhead give up looting? What was the purpose of rushing to Yuancheng?
Duan Wencao originally wanted to use Zhang Xutuo's knife to kill the white thief and his Cangtou army, but he didn't expect that the white thief and the Cangtou army would leave Ningyang City and jump out of the trap at a moment's notice, which made Duan Wencao very depressed.
Before dawn, Zhang Xutuo launched a sneak attack on Ningyang City, surrounded Ningyang City, and launched a fierce attack.
After dawn, Zhang Xutuo's letter was delivered to Bianqiu. Zhang Xutuo implored Duan Wencao to immediately lead his troops out of the city and attack according to the predetermined plan, although Duan Wencao did not attack Ningyang before to help the defenders of Ningyang hold the city, nor did he arrive at the Ningyang battlefield within the scheduled time and attack Ningyang City with Zhang Xutuo, but Zhang Xutuo still held a cooperative attitude, did not reprimand Duan Wencao, and did not even complain, only begged Duan Wencao to lead the army to the battlefield immediately. The Qiu Qiu is only thirty or forty miles away from Ningyang, and it will soon be able to arrive, and the cooperation of the Qi and Lu armies can easily take Ningyang City and annihilate the thief army surrounded in the city, so that it will be able to inflict a heavy blow on the thief army and quickly reverse the crisis in Lu County.
However, Duan Wencao had already made up his mind and ignored it at all.
Niu Jinda had the heart to advise, but he understood Duan Wencao's character, and he also understood Duan Wencao's current predicament, plus the white thief and the Cangtou army were in Yuancheng, just waiting for the Lu army to go out of the city, the white thief would inevitably lead the army to block, and Duan Wencao was a little jealous of the Cangtou army since Bian Cheng was defeated by the hands of the white thief, and he didn't want to fight with the Cangtou army, so Niu Jinda weighed it again and again, and did not persuade again.
In the morning, the scouts monitoring Yuancheng reported urgently, and the Cangtou army under Yuancheng suddenly pulled out the camp and rushed towards Ningyang.
In the morning, the scouts monitoring Ningyang reported that Zhang Xutuo's Qi army had stopped the siege, and its main force was moving in the direction of Gongqiu.
After analyzing with Kong Zhongqing and Niu Jinda, Duan Wencao believed that Zhang Xutuo wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements. Under the onslaught of Zhang Xutuo, the thief army in Ningyang City must have suffered heavy casualties, was unable to break through, and could not escape, so Zhang Xutuo turned to concentrate on the main force to fight the white thieves and the cangtou army, trying to annihilate all the traitors in one battle. Duan Wencao was very happy, proud, complacent, thinking that his plan had succeeded, and when Zhang Xutuo and the Cangtou army were defeated, he could go out of the city to "pick peaches".
In the afternoon, the scouts monitoring Ningyang reported that the Cangtou army and the Qi army deployed outside the city to block the army fought, and the two sides fought very fiercely, the drums were like thunder, and the sound of killing was even higher than the wave. However, the main force of the Qi army, which moved to the direction of Gongqiu, never joined the battlefield.
Duan Wen knew it. Zhang Xutuo was angry, angry, and had seen through his tricks, but due to the consideration of the entire Qilu situation, he had to fight again, but he was unwilling to pay a greater price, so he transferred the main force out of the battlefield, staring at Ningyang City and the Cangtou Army while waiting for himself to lead the army into the battlefield.
Duan Wencao was a little depressed. If he doesn't go out of the city and doesn't fight for a long time, then Zhang Xutuo is angry, let the thieves in Ningyang City break through, and let the Cangtou army withdraw from the battlefield, then his own trouble will be big, and the crisis in Lu County cannot be reversed, not to mention, it may also arouse the anger of Qiao Gong Zhou Fashang, once the matter is stabbed to the eastern capital or even the emperor, he will not be able to eat and walk around, and at that time Guan Long and Jiangzuo people will join forces to fight themselves, not to mention that the official hat cannot be saved, I am afraid that even the Qilu people will suffer.
Duan Wencao looked at the sky. At this moment, go out of the city, walk slowly, and it will be dark when you arrive at Ningyang, and Zhang Xutuo heard that he was out of the city, and he must throw the main force into the battlefield in advance, so as to surround the Cangtou army and prevent the Cangtou army from escaping, so that although the Lu army still has to participate in the battle, the price paid is very small, and it is still cost-effective.
Duan Wencao gave the order to leave the city immediately and rush to the battlefield.
