Xingyang County, military camp outside the city.

During the period when the news of Li Zhen's army attacking Xingyang County was sent to Xi Changzhen in Qinghua City, Li Zhen had been spending time with Hu Zhiguang, sending troops to attack from time to time, and some small battles occurred, but they were all inconsequential battles that did not affect the overall situation, and they were not fierce battles like Xiaoshui County.

The barracks outside the city, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Shaochuan sat down, clasped his hands, and muttered: "President, I think it's a bit sticky to the plan you made, too rigid and not flexible enough." ”

Li Zhendao: "What do you think?" ”

Lu Shaochuan smiled and said, "I think that on the basis of the plan you have made, you should also increase flexibility. It's okay if we can take Xingyang County without using the plan you made. For example, now, your plan has not yet reached the next step to start implementation, and the big guy is idle all day, rather than this, it is better to think about the way to take Xingyang County now. Once you take it, you can also drive straight into Thanh Hoa City. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Wow, Master Lu has the ability, then go and take Xingyang County." ”

Lu Shaochuan rolled his eyes and said, "You know that I am a big boss, and I don't know a few words, so what kind of plan do I have!" ”

Liu Jintang continued: "Master Lu, don't worry, the plan formulated by the president is a complete set, not only for Xingyang County, but also for Xi Changzhen. If it is implemented according to Commander Lu's plan, it will only attack a place in Xingyang County, and it will be difficult to mobilize Xi Changzhen's army, and the whole plan will be chaotic. Wait a little longer! ”

Lu Shaochuan snorted, looking lazy.

"Good news, President!"

Outside the tent, a loud and deep voice was heard.

Immediately, the curtain of the tent was rolled up, and Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng strode in. Chen Yucheng gave a military salute to Li Zhen and said loudly: "According to the report of the spies you planted around Qinghua City a few days ago, Xi Changzhen has led the soldiers to quietly rush towards Nanming Pass. From this point of view, Xi Changzhen must be preparing to fight with you in Nanmingguan, and wants to use Nanmingguan to fight a decisive battle with the president! ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Good guy, Xi Changzhen has finally entered the sleeve!" ”

Lu Shaochuan said: "Dashuai, I can go to Nanming Pass!" ”

Li Zhen raised his hand to signal Lu Shaochuan to be calm for a while, and then asked: "Xi Changzhen knows the plan to attack the east and the west, and he will definitely inform the guards of Xingyang County, Xiaoshui County and Nanming Pass. Now, has the envoy sent by Xi Changzhen to deliver the news arrive in Xingyang County? ”

Chen Yucheng shook his head and said: "Our people rushed back day and night, Xi Changzhen's soldiers were not so fast, it is estimated that at noon tomorrow, Xi Changzhen sent to inform the Xingyang County garrison general Hu Zhiguang that the people will arrive." ”

"Good! It's a good time! ”

Li Zhen stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Lu Shaochuan, tonight, you took a regiment of troops and quietly went to Nanming Pass. Remember, after you arrived at Nanming Pass with your army, your mission was ostensibly a strategy to attack the east and west, and you wanted to conquer Nanming Pass, but your actual task was to drag Xi Changzhen and let Xi Changzhen stay in Nanming Pass, understand? ”

"Don't worry, President, I won't ruin your plans!"

He smiled and said, "It's pretty good to be able to fight with that guy Xi Changzhen!" ”

That night, it was already the second half of the night.

Lu Shaochuan gathered the soldiers of a regiment, then brought enough dry food, and led the soldiers of a regiment to quietly leave the barracks. His departure was quiet and did not attract the attention of Hu Zhiguang, the guard general stationed in Xingyang County. Moreover, Li Zhen also did the cover, the arrangement of the army remained the same, and the lack of numbers was not revealed. Li Zhen kept the camp where the original soldiers lived, and it was still the original number of soldiers, so Hu Zhiguang couldn't find out.

The next day, noon!

In Xingyang County, the government office.

In the hall, a soldier stood respectfully, and above sat Ho Chi Quang.

The soldier said loudly: "General, the general said that Li Zhen and Yanggou attacked Xingyang County and Xiaoshui County, and their purpose was to attack the east and the west. Now, the general has led his army towards Nanming Pass, so please keep an eye on the movements of Li Zhen's army and grasp the fighter plane. ”

Hu Zhiguang raised his eyebrows and said, "There is such a thing!" ”

Immediately, he recalled carefully, nodded, and muttered to himself: "In the past few days, the army led by Li Zhen has indeed not launched a fierce attack, it is just a symbol of the flag-waving and shouting, only a small friction. From this point of view, Li Zhen really has no intention of attacking Xingyang County, otherwise he would have attacked every day. ”

After a pause, Hu Zhiguang's eyebrows stretched.

He looked at the soldiers, waved his hand and said, "You go and tell the general immediately, just say that I will definitely seize the fighter, please rest assured." At the same time, you told the general that the situation in Xingyang County was fine, and let him rest assured that he would fight a decisive battle with Li Zhen. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier turned around and left, and will go to Nanming Pass!

……

In the afternoon, Li Zhen's barracks.

At this time, there were only 2,000 soldiers left in the barracks, and there were only Li Zhen, Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng. Li Zhen looked at the soldiers standing in the camp tent and asked, "How is the battle situation in Xiaoshui County?" "The soldiers came from Xiaoshui County to report on the battle situation in Xiaoshui County.

The soldier said: "President, the battle in Xiaoshui County is fierce and in a stalemate!" At present, both the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army and the soldiers stationed in Huangbai County in Xiaoshui County have suffered serious losses. ”

Li Zhen nodded and ordered, "Go back and inform His Excellency Gobard and ask him to hold on for a while." Soon, the war in Xingyang County will end, and I will support him as soon as possible. Please be sure to hold off Huang Bai stationed in Xiaoshui County, so that Huang Bai can not have the energy to pay attention to the battle situation in Xingyang County. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier turned and left, running towards Xiaoshui County.

Li Zhen's eyes turned, swept over Liu Jintang and a few people, and said solemnly: "According to the news sent back by the spies, the person sent by Xi Changzhen to deliver the news has arrived and conveyed the news. Now Hu Zhiguang has known the strategy we have formulated. At the same time, Lu Shaochuan has left, and it is time to implement the next step. ”

Chen Yucheng rubbed his hands and said: "Everything depends on the next step of the plan." If it goes well, the next step-by-step plan will be implemented smoothly. ”

Li Xiucheng said: "Hu Zhiguang has fallen into the assumption set by the president, and he has dizzy, and we will definitely win." ”

Liu Jintang patted his chest and said arrogantly: "The president will give an order." I will definitely serve Hu Zhiguang well, so that he will not be able to leave. We won this battle. Hu Zhiguang's head must belong to me. ”

Li Zhen looked at the expressions of the generals under his command, and his heart was full of anticipation.

In this battle, he spent a lot of thought. The most critical moment of this battle is the next plan, whether or not Xi Changzhen can be successfully defeated, this is an important turning point.

ps: The fourth shift, call it a day. There is an update in the early hours of the morning.
