"You say, what are we going to do?"

Sun Xuanya grabbed his hair irritably, paused and gritted his teeth again: "Do I want the army to press and recapture Fei County?" ”

Meng Rang shook his head, "The king may not know Zhang Xuan, but I was driven out of Gaomi County by him, I know him very well, I know what he wants to do?" ”

"What does he want to do?"

"He is creating an opportunity for Pei Renji to attack Liyu County, using 5,000 troops to contain us, so that we can't rescue Liyan, and then Pei Renji will be pressed by a large army."

Sun Xuanya was stunned for a moment, "Then we should recapture Fei County." ”

Meng Rang smiled, "It's to recapture Fei County, I don't think it's now, wait a little longer, doesn't the king think this is an opportunity to get rid of Wang Bo?" ”

Sun Xuanya fell into deep thought, his mind was too confused, and he needed to think calmly.

Meng Rang knew that Sun Xuanya had been moved by his own words, so he got up and left the lobby, leaving Sun Xuanya alone to pace back and forth, he was distraught and his mind was in a mess

Two days later, the news of Zhang Xuan's capture of Fei County reached Xintai County, and the strategic goal of the Eastern Front had been accomplished, and Zhang Xuan suppressed Sun Xuanya's army, making it impossible for Sun Xuanya to rescue Wang Bo in Lixian County.

Pei Renji, who had been standing still, finally waited for the opportunity, and he ordered Jia Runfu to lead 2,000 troops to hold Xintai County, a logistics stronghold, and he personally led 15,000 troops to kill the county.

It is about 200 miles from Xintai County to Zhuan County, the middle is dominated by plain terrain, the official road is spacious and flat, it is very suitable for transporting grain by baggage, and it can be reached in about two days to send grain from Xintai County to the front.

Bae In-ki's army went very smoothly. Soon arrived in the county, Pei Renji was a cautious man, experienced, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered to build a camp on the spot, he needed to build a large camp with a wall first. After stabilizing the army, look for an opportunity to fight Wang Bo's army.

On a high ground in the northeast of the county seat, Pei Renji, surrounded by a group of generals, looked at Liyu County two miles away.

He already knew that Zhang Xuan had captured Fei County in just one day, because Zhang Xuan had planted dozens of scouts in Fei County in advance, and he had captured the well-defended city in one fell swoop.

This kind of first-hand layout strategy is incomparable to Pei Renji, Pei Renji is ashamed of himself, but he is very uncomfortable, Zhang Xuan, a late-born junior, can think longer than himself, in comparison. It will be much more difficult for him to conquer the county.

Luo Zhenyu understood Pei Renji's thoughts very well, and said with a smile on the side: "Dashuai, whether it is Fei County or Linyi, it can't be compared with Zhuan County, last year Wang Bohua spent a lot of money to rebuild Lizhen County, not only increased the height of the city wall by five feet, but also built the outer wall with bluestone, which is extremely strong and tall.

In addition, Wang Bo also asked skilled craftsmen to build fifty large trebuchets. It can shoot a hundred catties of boulders to a distance of 400 steps, and there are 100,000 stones of grain in the city. The soldiers are well fed, and the small town of Fei County cannot be compared with it at all. ”

Although Qin Qiong felt that Luo Zhenyu was not bad in all aspects, she was disgusted with his flattery of Pei Renji, and she had gradually become Pei Renji's henchman along the way, and this kind of villain was the most hateful. The more Qin Qiong heard what he said, the more explicit it it became, she couldn't hold back any longer, snorted softly, turned around and left quickly.

Pei Renji glanced at Qin Qiong, slightly unhappy in his heart. He didn't think that Luo Zhenyu was flattering himself, Luo Zhenyu was introducing the other party's defense.

For example, fifty large trebuchets, with a range of 400 paces, and 100,000 stone of grain, these are extremely important pieces of information, which are very useful for them to attack Zhuan County, even Zhang Xuan's scouts cannot get this kind of core information.

As for Luo Zhenyu's words, there are some nice words, but they are not flattery, but comfort themselves, he Pei Renji will not even be able to distinguish between flattery and comfort!

However, Pei Renji's mood is indeed a little heavy,

How could he attack such a strong city?

He looked at the city again for a long time, and then returned to the barracks sullenly.

At the head of the city, Wang Bo, who was dressed in green clothes, looked coldly at a group of people and horses on the high ground in the distance, he recognized Pei Renji wearing a golden helmet, Wang Bo's heart was full of contempt, only 15,000 people wanted to conquer his foundation?

If it was Zhang Xutuo, he was still a little worried, but Pei Renji didn't pay attention to it at all, how many years of hatred, he was finally going to be ashamed in this war, Wang Bo showed a trace of expectation in his eyes, the time was ripe.

"Send a pigeon letter to Guo Huan, he can send troops!" Wang Bo gave the order to fight back

Although Pei Renji's army went south, out of prudence, he still deployed a hundred scouts around the grain road, which is the caution that a coach should have.

The grain road is the top priority of Pei Renji's southern expedition, if the food supply is not available, they will defeat the whole army, so Pei Renji attaches great importance to food security.

At noon that day, on a hill about twenty miles north of the Sui army camp, a scout team of five cavalrymen was resting and having lunch by the river. ”

Everyone was so frightened that they jumped up and looked to the west, only to see a team of thousands of people rushing towards the official road, led by a general, holding a big sword with a golden ring, galloping on horseback, although they were wearing the armor of the Sui army, but the battle flag was not the Sui army, but Wang Bo's army. ，

At this moment, a grain convoy of hundreds of ox carts was approaching this direction from a distance, and the scouts were stunned, their grain convoy was about to be attacked.

The scouts finally reacted, and they all rolled over their horses and rushed down the hill to the food team, but it was too late.

The caravan also found thousands of thieves killed by the black press, the coachman jumped off the ox cart and fled, and the hundreds of soldiers guarding the grain cart met the battle, and in a moment they were surrounded by thousands of thieves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the five scouts turned their horses and rushed to the Sui army camp twenty miles to the south.

In less than half an hour, five scouts rushed to the front of the Sui army camp, the Sui army camp had just been built, dozens of sentries stood on the high board wall gate, and several scout cavalry rushed to the front, shouting urgently: "We have something important to report to the commander!" ”

It happened that Pei Renji was patrolling by the north gate of the camp, and when he heard the report, he hurriedly walked up to the wall and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Boss Qiqi, our grain team has been attacked by thieves!"

Pei Renji was taken aback and asked urgently, "Where is it?" How many thieves are there? ”

"Just twenty miles away, there are about five or six thousand thieves."

Pei Renji gasped and sneered, stunned, what's the matter, where did the five or six thousand thieves come from?

At this time, Luo Zhenyu also rushed up and said hurriedly: "Dashuai, go to the grain truck first, and talk about the rest later!" ”

A sentence reminded Pei Renji, he immediately ordered Qin Qiong to hold the camp, and he led 5,000 troops to the north quickly, but only halfway, they encountered more than 100 remnants of the Sui army who broke through the siege, most of them were wounded, Pei Renji grabbed the war horse and asked, "Who is the leader?" ”

A captain stepped forward and knelt down and wept: "General, five thousand thieves surrounded us, and the brothers couldn't resist it, desperately broke through, most of them died in battle, and only we escaped. ”

"What about the grain cart?" Pei Renji asked anxiously again.

All the soldiers bowed their heads, and at this time, one of the soldiers pointed ahead and shouted: "Look, big boss! ”

Seeing the smoke rushing up ten miles ahead, Pei Renji hated and anxious, whipped his war horse, and galloped towards the smoke, Luo Zhenyu waved his hand, "Keep up!" ”

Five thousand soldiers followed Pei Renji forward, and after a short time, they came to the battlefield where they were ambushed, the grain carts and grain were stacked together, burning in the flames, hundreds of cattle were all killed, corpses and blood were all over the ground, and more than 200 Sui soldiers who died in battle, the scene was very tragic.

Pei Renji stared blankly at the scene in front of him, he knew what it meant that the grain road was cut off, but what should he do now? His mind was also in a mess.

Luo Zhenyu sighed, "Boss, this should be Guo Huan's army!" ”

"What?"

Pei Renji suddenly turned around and asked, "Who is this Guo Huan?" ”

"Qiyu Marshal, this Guo Huan is nominally a bandit in Lu County with Weishan, in fact, it is Wang Bo's person, he is afraid that Sun Xuanya will say that he wants to seek Lu County, so let Guo Huan pretend to be a newly rising bandit, the army and equipment are supported by Wang Bo, there are about 5,000 people, just now he also asked the captain who broke through, he said that the leader of the thieves will make a big knife with a gold ring, that is Guo Huan's weapon."

Pei Renji suddenly became anxious, "Wang Bo still has an army outside, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I didn't think of this Guo Huan at all." Luo Zhenyu lowered his head apologetically.

At this time, Liang Xun, who joined the army next to him, persuaded: "Marshal, now is not the time to blame General Luo, we should think about countermeasures, and I am very worried that this Guo Huan will sneak attack Xintai County." (To be continued......)
