On the tower of the city of Fangcheng of Wei State. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Zhang Meng, who had just had breakfast, was leading people to inspect the city tower. A group of six people, when they reached the middle of the city gate tower, a centurion suddenly sneezed because of the bitter cold weather.

When he looked up again, he subconsciously glanced out of the city. Just one glance, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed outward, "General, look, Zhao Jun seems to be withdrawing?" ”

Hearing the voice, Zhang Meng, who was at the forefront thoughtfully, hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, and the Zhao army, which seemed to be connected to the sky in the distance, actually pulled out the camp and set off at this time, and it seemed that the army was actually heading north.

The team of more than 50,000 people was huge, even if Zhang Meng was too far away at this time, he could see clearly, the black army, acting slowly, was not fast, but it was indeed gradually moving away.

"General, Zhao Jun is this? If you want to withdraw, you can't do it. A thousand people around him withdrew their gaze from a distance and turned to look at Zhang Meng, who was speechless.

At this time, Zhang Meng just frowned and continued to watch, not paying attention to what the people around him said.

The pair of eyes that had been staring for a long time seemed to see through all those Zhao Jun.

"No-" Finally, the corners of Zhang Meng's mouth moved slightly, but his eyes were still staring at Zhao Jun, who was gradually moving away: "They are heading to the northeast, if they withdraw to Zhao Di and go north directly to cross the river, it will be a short way." ”

"Then what is Zhao Jun doing this for?" The thousands of people on the side asked puzzled.

"You say, will it be a long detour and turn to attack Xiangcheng." At this moment, the centurion, who first noticed that the situation was wrong, also showed a confused expression.

When the thousand people heard this, they were a little unbelievable, "Attack Xiangcheng? This shouldn't be, if you attack Xiangcheng, it's too big to go directly to the southeast, why retreat? ”

The voice drifted away in the wind. The eyes of the two couldn't help but look at Zhang Meng.

It didn't take long to reach the distance that Zhang Meng and the others could observe, and at this time, it was no longer possible to tell which direction Zhao Jun was going.

At this moment, Zhang Meng turned around, his face looked a little worried, "It is likely that it is a detour to attack Xiangcheng, arrange a few people to go to the vicinity of Xiangcheng to keep an eye on, and if there is anything abnormal, come back immediately to report." ”

"Yes."

The centurion hurried away.

Zhang Meng was not bad, Zhao Jun did make a detour to Xiangcheng, but what he didn't know was that Xiangcheng was no longer controlled by his Wei State at this time. Moreover, before the Zhao army acted, the spies had already besieged Xiangcheng, and at this time, the people who were probably sent out by the scout would never come back.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The army of more than 57,000 people of Zhao appeared five miles northwest of Xiangcheng. This place still belongs to the outer region of the Wei State, and Zhao Yuan originally intended to garrison troops here, but the crown prince Zhao Yong ordered the army to march to five miles southwest of Xiangcheng and then set up camp.

Xu is Zhao Yuan's army, which was originally going to stop, continued to receive orders to march, and it was not until five miles southwest of Xiangcheng that the army stopped under Zhao Yong's orders.

Just when Zhao Yong got off his horse and was observing where the main camp should be placed against the map opened by the soldiers. Not far away, two soldiers escorted a Wei scout and walked over very quickly.

"Your Highness, this person is a scout soldier of the Wei army, huddled under the hillside in front of him to observe our military situation and was captured, the general said to let His Highness see how to deal with this person." Walking up to Zhao Yong, a soldier saluted and said loudly.

"A hillside not far ahead?" Zhao Yong slowly raised his head and looked ahead, and he could barely see the hillside terrain from nearly a mile, "The Wei army scouts are really bold, don't they treat our Zhao army as blind, and they actually ran to such a close place to our army." Yes, so daring. ”

Without looking at the Wei army scout, Zhao Yong lowered his head and continued to look at the map opened by the two soldiers after saying such a sentence, "Wherever you catch it, you can release it from there, since you can hide so close before being discovered, then you can try your luck again and see if you can get out alive." Go ahead, tell General Zhao Yuan, and let this person go. ”

"Yes."

During the whole process, the face of the Wei army scout was smart, resolute and cold, and gradually became much softer, and then gradually, he stared at Zhao Yong with a suspicious face for a while, and only then did he withdraw his gaze when he walked away.

"Let's just set up the main tent here." After comparing the map with the surrounding situation for a while, Zhao Yong finally slowly stretched out his hand and landed on a piece of high ground on the dirt slope.

The two soldiers put away the map and said "yes". Just after the two of them turned to leave, Zhao Yuanmai hurriedly walked over from a distance, his face was obviously a little displeased. The saber at his waist slammed against the armor as he swung back and forth as he walked, emitting a crisp sound.

"Your Highness, what did you ask?" After Zhao Yongqian paused, Zhao Yuan gasped, and the white mist he drank was like a cloud of smoke, permeating the two of them.

"Ask?" Zhao Yong's face sank, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you asking?" ”

"Then, the Wei scout who caught it."

"Him! The prince had already let him go. ”

"Oh...... Put?! Listening to the calm and blurted out voice, Zhao Yuan's only felt that his brain stopped working for a moment, and his big mouth was enough to stuff a small egg.

"That's right, Prince Ben, who looked at him with a stinky face, was upset, so he let him go back. It just happened that there was a lack of a messenger, otherwise, how could you tell if the defenders of Fangcheng would come out to help. The order was sent down, and the army stayed outside until night, and if the defenders of Fangcheng were not seen leaving the city halfway, they would arrange the army at night to create the illusion of attacking the city. If the defenders of Fangcheng do not come out tonight, the army will enter the city to rest tomorrow. ”

……

The two soldiers who pressed the Wei scouts really released the Wei scouts at that dirt slope.

The incredulous Wei scouts looked around the moment they were untied, and it was not until they confirmed that the Zhao soldiers around him had not paid attention to him, and then they opened their legs, hunched their waists, and disappeared into Zhao Jun's field of vision along some weeds.

Two hours later, in the Fangcheng City Lord's Mansion, the scout who was lucky enough to escape knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Meng, "General Yu, as the general expected, the Zhao army did not evacuate our border, but besieged Xiangcheng by a long way. ”

was a simple word, but he didn't say anything about his arrest.

"Got it, you go down and keep watching." With a sigh of relief, Zhang violently moved the thick beard under the two nostrils, and commanded in a deep voice.

"General, the defenders of Xiangcheng are only 3,000 people, and if the Zhao army attacks the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it." The thousand people on the side frowned and looked at Zhang Meng, and his words seemed a little worried.

"Ben knows it, but so what!"

"The last general heard that the general has an order to keep the rules, and if he can't keep it, he will preserve his strength......"

The voice said this and didn't say anything more, but Zhang Meng knew what he was going to say. But this situation made Zhang Meng unable to make up his mind for a while.
