And the state, Taiyuan County.

Jingling County.

The scale of this county town is not large, and the people are only a few thousand households, but the atmosphere in the city is beginning to become increasingly tense.

Inside and outside the city, above and below the city, the two armies faced each other, the battle flags were flying, the drums were beating, and the confrontation of tens of thousands of troops was awe-inspiring.

The geographical location of Jingling is special, in the West River on the party Taiyuan confluence, one side is the lake, one side is the high mountain, by the mountains and the water, but the terrain is dangerous, keep the official road of the south and the north, belong to the pass city of the south side of Taiyuan, there is a husband when the pass is not open.

And now the Liang army guard who is guarding in Jingling is one of the eight strong generals under Ma Chao, and the fierce general is Chengyi.

Cheng Yi originally guarded Shangdang, but in Shangdang, the Wei army suddenly attacked, and he didn't fight, so he could only lead tens of thousands of soldiers according to the order and retreat to Taiyuan in disgrace.

For him, retreating without a fight was a shame for a general, so he was bent on fighting the Wei army in Jingling.

Jingling is the gateway to Taiyuan, which is also a pass that the Wei army cannot bypass if it wants to go north, but unfortunately, after the Wei army came to the city, it was delayed in attacking the city, which made him a little irritable in his heart.

When I set up and tried to fight you, you stopped.

This feels like a newlywed man who doesn't have time to fight a friendly battle with his wife before going on a business trip, and when he comes home in ten days, he wants to have a long-lost entanglement battle with his wife, and the result is ...... Her great aunt came.

This kind of breathlessness made his whole person go crazy, but he didn't have many soldiers and horses, and he went out of the city to fight. He wasn't such an idiot yet, so he could only train the recruited young men hard.

On this day, the weather was clear. After inspecting the drills of the young soldiers recruited in the city, Ma Wan walked up to the city, and he looked at the Wei army camp under the city with his eyes hunting.

The flying Wei army battle flag was unusually dazzling.

"Wang Ling, do they have an offensive trend today?" After half a ring, he asked a captain guarding the city.

"Nope!" Captain Wang Ling hurriedly shook his head. Said: "General, the Wei army camp outside the city has been quiet during this time. There is no siege! ”

"Humph!"

When Cheng Yi heard this, he muttered: "It's just a group of gutless bandits, it's too disappointing!" ”

"General, the horse play general is here!"

At this time. A soldier walked up to the city gate in some haste. The report said: "He asks you to return to the county office immediately, there is an important military situation to discuss."

"Important military intelligence? Fart, his military situation is to retreat, retreat, retreat, hum! Cheng Yi said coldly.

"By the way, at this time, shouldn't he be guarding the hearts of the people in Jinyang Town?"

Cheng Yi suddenly rang out. Frowning slightly.

"General Ma said that this time it was the general who came with an order from Chang'an. So he asked the general to go and consult at once! The pro-soldier reminded.

"The order of the Great General? Damn, you didn't say it earlier! ”

When Cheng Yi heard this, his eyes were shocked, and his originally somewhat leisurely and slow steps suddenly became rapid, he didn't play well with horses, everyone was so tall and big, it was already an unpleasant thing to be commanded by him, and in the end, he had to listen to him, and he escaped from the party in a gray manner, and his heart was even more unhappy.

But he has respect for Ma Chao, when he became Ma Chao's general, he was brutally subdued by Ma Chao, in this era of personal force and gods, the strong can definitely be respected from the bottom of his heart.

So as soon as he heard the military order from Ma Chao, he immediately quickened his pace and returned to the county office in the city.

"Old Ma, did the general really give the military order?" As soon as Cheng Yi came up, he asked impatiently.

"Hmm!"

Ma Yu put down the teacup, glanced up at him, nodded, and said, "It's still a top-secret military order!" ”

As soon as Cheng Yi heard the top-secret military order, he immediately withdrew everyone in the hall, and then sat in front of Cheng Yi, and asked with a solemn expression: "Tell me, what does the general mean, to fight, to retreat?" ”

At this time, a military order came, either to fight, or to withdraw troops and merge with the state.

The Wu army and the Wei army attacked from the north and south, even if he was arrogant, he also knew that he had some troops and horses, and he would definitely not be able to hold it, and it would be a matter of time before he retreated.

He also knew that Zhang Hengliangxing and others, who had returned to Shangjun from Hedong, had already begun to retreat to prepare for Liangzhou.

"Retreat!"

Ma played: "But before we retreat, we have to fight, fight hard, and let them know that our Xiliang Erlang is strong!" ”

"How?" Cheng Yi's eyes lit up.

"Unite him, and then ...... Swallow him! ”

Playing in front of Cheng Yi, he carefully spread out a marching map, pointing to the troops of the north and south that have now entered Taiyuan, and his voice was murderous.

――――――――――――――――――

Barracks outside the city.

In a partial camp, incense mats are spread on the ground, incense is smoking, there is a bookcase in the middle of the mat, two Confucian scribes on the left and right, sitting on the ground, a pot of hot wine, steaming.

"Brother Gongtai, it's really an accident to see you here today!"

Tian Feng raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Brother Yuan Hao, Gong never thought that one day, he would be able to see you in the camp of the Wei army!" The corners of Chen Gong's mouth grinned, and at the same time he raised his glass and touched it, and said: "If you want to talk about accidents, the palace is even more surprised!" ”

At that time, he was loyal to the Jin State and was willing to sacrifice his life for Yuan Shao's later Taiwei Tian Feng, but in the end he surrendered to the Wei State, which was unexpected by many people.

Even in Wu State, many people have lost their eyeballs.

When Tian Feng was captured, many people thought that he would be martyred in Jin, and even Chen Gong thought so.

"Time, life!" Tian Feng smiled slightly wryly, and there were only these four words that could express his mood.

If you talk about it, in fact, the fates of the two of them overlap a little, they are both from surrendered generals, Chen Gong went from being loyal to Lu Bu to surrendering to Wu, and he Tian Feng was from the famous Jin State Taiwei to a Wei Chen.

In troubled times, fate is determined by heaven and not by man.

"That's right. In this troubled world, our fate is difficult to hold! Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Brother Gongtai is alone in my Great Wei military camp today, won't he just want to talk to me!" Three rounds of drinking. Both of them are people with excellent minds, and they will not regret their choice, a little sadness, in a flash, and they began to get to the point.

Tian Feng squinted slightly, looked at Chen Gong, and a playful smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't Brother Yuan Hao welcoming the palace?" Chen Gong looked up. After glancing at each other, Shi Shiran laughed.

"Welcome, of course welcome!"

Tian Feng heard this. His eyes were cold, and he said pointedly: "Brother Gongtai is more welcome in Luoyang, why don't you personally invite Brother Gongtai to get together in Luoyang?" ”

"Luoyang. I want to go. But I'm afraid that I can get in, but I can't get out! ”

Chen Gong was not afraid, he just shrugged his shoulders and said very calmly.

went to Luoyang, he was probably either imprisoned, or chopped off his head by Cao Cao, you know, the Yanzhou Rebellion at the beginning. Even if he planned it single-handedly, Cao Cao hated him to the core.

"Could it be that this barracks is a big place. You're in, do you still want to get out? There was a hint of threat in Tian Feng's voice.

Chen Gong, famous in his early years, assisted by Lu Bu, and took Xuzhou from Liu Bei, this person's ability, even Tian Feng did not dare to underestimate it.

If he could stay, Tian Feng would definitely not let him go.

Of course, Tian Feng will not tear his face casually, the two major vassal states want to save face, Chen Gong is now under the six departments of Wu State, the deputy director of the staff department of the twenty-four divisions, and he is in a high position.

"That might be!"

When Chen Gong heard this, his face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Tian Feng lightly: "Maybe my Brother Yuan Hao will personally send a certain family out!" ”

"I want to see it, Brother Gongtai has the ability to send you out of the camp in person!" Tian Feng said with a sneer.

"Wei wants Taiyuan, and my Wu also wants it!"

Chen Gong didn't beat around the bush, he said very directly: "Gong came today, one purpose, let's cooperate!" ”

"How to cooperate?"

Tian Feng was not surprised, he somewhat guessed Chen Gong's intention.

"Wu Jun and Wei Jun, discuss the time, and then send troops at the same time, fight together, attack from the north and south, and take Taiyuan in one fell swoop!" Chen Gong proposed the way.

"After conquering Taiyuan, who will it belong to?" Tian Feng asked the point.

"Whoever has the ability, enter the city first, will naturally belong to whom, if a certain family tells you now, Taiyuan County will give you Wei State, do you believe it?" Chen Gong asked.

"Absolutely not convinced!"

Tian Feng smiled, and he asked rhetorically: "Now that the Wu army is making a big show, dispatching tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to enter the annexed state, will you willingly give us Taiyuan County, the core county of the annexed state?" ”

"Of course not!"

"So what's the point of working together?"

"It makes sense, we can fight with the Liang army, but between us, make an alliance, as long as the Liang army does not withdraw from Jingzhou, you and I will retreat when we hear the drums, meet without fighting, and those who go down to the city first cannot be attacked!"

Chen Gong stared at Tian Feng, word by word, and said very sincerely.

"The one who goes down the city first, can't attack?"

Tian Feng muttered and repeated this sentence.

It means that whoever fights is whoever's, and before the Liang army did not withdraw from the state, both the Wei army and the Wu army restrained themselves and did not go to war.

Now in the situation of the state, if the Liang army does not retreat, the Wei army and the Wu army will always be deadlocked, and the Wu army now wants to break the situation, so Chen Gong was dispatched.

Wei Jun didn't want to, but everyone was maintaining their strength and didn't dare to fight bloodily, but Chen Gong gave an opportunity for both sides to send troops.

This proposal is very reasonable, but it ...... It's not easy to execute.

The boundaries are unclear, whether to fight or not to fight, in a thought, if the Wu army fights with the Liang army, the Wei army will definitely applaud, and if the Wei army fights to the death with the Liang army, the Wu army will also stand by.

Speaking of which, it is actually a tacit understanding to everyone to mobilize troops, but when the fight starts, the Wu army will definitely calculate the Wei army, and the Wei army will definitely calculate the Wu army.

In the end, the so-called covenant is less valuable than the word wiping the ass, it just depends on whose means are more famous.

If you're not careful, you'll lose everything!

Tian Feng has to be careful, of course, he is not afraid of a Chen Palace, if Chen Gong wants to play, you and I will play, in the end, it depends on how deep your calculations are, or I arrange the battle situation a little weirder!

He thought for a while and said, "Brother Gongtai, it's okay to cooperate, but how do you know, you won't calculate our Wei State, if we move, you don't understand, we are thankful!" ”

"Brother Yuan Hao, in this battle, whether it is Wu or Wei, for the annexation of the state, the ambition is bound to win, I know this first, you and I know this well, and some things, it is not good to say it!"

Chen Gong smiled indifferently: "Now, the situation in Bingzhou is that if the Liang army does not collapse, you and I will not be able to please it, a certain family ventured into the Wei army camp this time, just to tell you a word, the policy of the Wu army, the soldiers must move, but they must first defeat the Liang army, and then ...... Of course, as long as the Liang army doesn't boast and we don't fight, isn't this the best result we all want? ”

Speaking of this, it has reached the point, and before he continued to fight, Tian Feng groaned for a long time and nodded: "You are right, if we want to take the state of Wei, this step must be taken out, I agree with the Wu army and the Wei army to encircle Taiyuan!" (To be continued......)
