Hanyang-gun.

Jicheng.

The commander-in-chief battalion of the Third Military Region in the city, a group of staff officers are deducing the battles that are about to break out, calculating the most suitable deployment of soldiers and horses, Zhuge Liang is sitting in the first place, looking at the combat sand table, and calculating the time in his heart.

"How many days has it been since Chen Zhi was surrounded in Baektu Mountain?" He suddenly looked at the location of Baektu Mountain on the combat sand table and asked.

"It's been three days!"

Fa Zheng hurriedly stood up, replied to Zhuge Liang's words, and said with a request: "Commander Zhuge , let's let Commander Xu Sheng send troops, otherwise our commander will not be able to hold out for a few days, as far as I know, they are not very good at food and grass, if they continue like this, there is no need to fight, Sima Yiwei can surround them to death." ”

"Three days? Is there any movement in the north? ”

"The Ninth Army of Jieting is very calm, Longxian was stationed by the Wei army Cao Zhang, the situation is a little unfavorable, but for the time being, there is no trace of the Wei army's encirclement!" A staff officer of a military region hastened to answer

"Wait!"

Zhuge Liang squinted slightly, his expression was calm, and his heart was tense like a string: "Now that we are not yet ready to send troops, we are still a little hot, and we can't startle the snake!" ”

"What's the heat?" Fa Zheng's eyes were a little hazy: "Now we know the news, most of the main forces of the Wei army have entered our trap, and it is speculated that Ma Chao's Northern Wolf Guard has also moved south from Bingzhou, why don't you send troops!" ”

"Speculation is speculation, who can prove that as long as the street pavilion side does not fight, we will not be considered successful in luring the enemy!"

Zhuge Liang said ruthlessly: "We have released the bait, we must catch a big fish!" ”

"Commander Zhuge , I'm afraid that the big fish hasn't been caught, and our Commander Chen Zhi can't bear it anymore!" Fa faced Tieqing: "He has an army of soldiers and horses in his hands, facing Sima Yi's main force, if he continues to carry it like this, even if he wants to break through at that time, he can't break through!" ”

"We have to believe in Uncle Chen!"

Zhuge Liang's fists were also clenched slightly, but his face was as calm as ever: "Ma Chao has not taken the bait for a day, we must not show the main force, or even counterattack, we can only defend!" ”

"Commander Zhuge , what if Sima Yi forcibly besieges and kills you?" Fa Zheng Dao.

"Then wait!"

"I disagree!"

Fa Zheng looked into Zhuge Liang's eyes and pleaded: "Commander Zhuge , if Commander Xu Sheng can't mobilize the troops and horses, I beg to mobilize the Twelfth Army of Jicheng, and I am willing to personally lead the troops to Baitou Mountain to rescue Commander Chen Zhi!" ”

"If you don't agree, you have to wait!"

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "The battle situation is here, what we want is to completely annihilate the Wei army, completely take the main force of the Wei army outside Guanzhong, and cut off the merge and Liangzhou outside Guanzhong, this is a grand strategy, any casualties are worth it, now is the critical time, if anyone can't hold their breath, who will lose, we can't afford to lose this battle, do you understand!" ”

"I understand, but?"

Fa Zheng didn't understand this truth, but if he watched Chen Zhi being besieged and killed by Sima Yi like this and was indifferent, he really couldn't do it.

"Wait!"

Zhuge Liang sat in the camp and spit out a word lightly, which could not be questioned.

"No!"

Fa Zheng had no choice but to endure his unwillingness and continue to deduce this battle.

"As long as there is a fight here in the street pavilion, the main force of our army in Wangyuan City can move, and it will go straight in!"

"The most important thing is the Central Plains Army, whether they can enter this battle in time is very important!"

"Now that Longxian County has been disconnected, for strategy, we have one less fulcrum, if the decisive battle starts, I think at any cost, take Longxian!"

“……”

One by one, the deputy staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Region began to enthusiastically deduce the steps before and after the battle.

Zhuge Liang was silent, his expression was calm and composed, but looking at the battle sand table, his heart was not as cold and ruthless as his expression: "Uncle Chen, you must hold on, success or failure is here!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

In the middle of the Baektu Mountains.

The officers and men of the three divisions of the 14th Army of the Wu Army were heavily surrounded by the Wei army in the valley, and they built a simple camp in the valley, relying on the terrain, and began to build fortifications to strictly guard the only exit.

Time passed day by day.

In the valley and outside the valley, it was very calm, whether it was the Wu army or the Wei army, there was no intention of forcibly encircling and breaking through the siege at the expense of a battle, they seemed to be stalemate here.

By the fourth day, the soldiers of the Wu army had been surrounded inside, and they began to be somewhat agitated.

"Sima Yi really looks up to me!"

The main general, Chen Zhi, wearing battle armor and hunting in a cloak, stood on the hill, looking at the only exit, the dense Wei army soldiers were waiting in formation, and a bitter smile rose slightly at the corner of his mouth.

This Sima Yi is determined to besiege him.

"Commander, why don't we break out?"

Gao Pei, the commander of the 37th Division, walked up, looked at the Wei army outside the valley, and suggested.

"Break through, how to break through? Behind the Baektu Mountain is a bottomless cliff, and we enter and exit on a road, they rush in, we are a husband and a man is not open, we rush out, they are also a man and a man is not open! ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "The Wei army's strength is above us, if the defense also occupies a favorable terrain, we can't rush out!" ”

"Are we just going to die?"

When Wu Yi, the commander of the 39th Division, heard this, his face was a little blue.

Wu Yi is quite lucky, he betrayed Liu Zhang, betrayed Liu Bei, and finally betrayed Zhao Wei, but such a wall grass not only allowed him to survive, but also made him an official and a knight.

Of course, there is some calculation on the part of the Military Aircraft Department.

Except for the 11th Army Jiang Qinjun, most of the other Bashu Army are soldiers and horses surrendered by the Shu Army, and the Military Aircraft Department wants to balance, and it can't be too much inserted into the Wu Army's lineage, otherwise it will cause the Shu Army system to resist, and the gains outweigh the losses, so naturally we have to use some former Shu Army generals who are not right with Chen Zhi's commander.

So Wu Yi was lucky to be promoted and led the head of the first division.

"To rush out is to bring about your own destruction!" The commander of the 38th Division is named Huo Jun, a fierce general who was promoted after the First World War, he is not tall, about 30 years old, and looks very capable: "Wait or it is the way to live, we can wait, they may not just wait!" ”

"We can only wait now!"

Chen Zhi squinted slightly, looked into the distance, and his face was calm and not shocked: "You can rest assured, the battle situation will change soon, if you really can't wait, on the last day, I will lead my troops to break through!" ”

"Commander, we still have two to three days of food and grass at most, if we ......" the quartermaster battalion commander suddenly reminded in a low voice: "If we are still surrounded here by then, we are afraid that we will starve to death!" ”

"From now on, once a day, drag as much as you can!" Chen Zhi's eyes sank, and he said to the quartermaster battalion commander: "Time is very critical, if we delay it for one day, we will have one more chance!" ”

"No!"

The quartermaster nodded.

"Commander Zhuge , I have fulfilled your orders, whether I live or die, it depends on you, if you treat a certain family as an outcast, a certain family will also admit it!"

The generals were in a bit of a city, and Chen Zhi's mood was also heavy, his eyes looked at the direction of Jicheng from afar, and he murmured in his heart.

Since he gave up Longxian and went deep alone, he knew that he was a bait, and it depended on how Zhuge Liang played this game of chess, if the prey never appeared, and Zhuge Liang was determined to use him to fish, he could only fight to the death.

――――――――――――――――――――

Beyond Mt. Paektu.

The Wei army battalion.

The entire 50,000 elite army, several miles of company camps, lined up in front and back, one heavy and one heavy army array overlapped front and back, surrounding the entrance of Paektu Mountain, and the only opening that surrounded this one was impassable.

The Chinese army battalion.

Sima Yi flipped through the military intelligence reports, and his expression became more and more gloomy: "Yang Xiu, Zhang Ren has not heard from him for a few days!" ”

"It seems like it's been more than ten days!"

Yang Xiu frowned slightly and replied.

"It seems that there must be something wrong with the battlefield in Longyou!"

When Sima Yi heard this, his heart suddenly burst, his fists couldn't help clenching slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, Zhang Ren wouldn't have no news at all!" ”

"General, could it be that the battle on the battlefield of Longyou is too fierce, so Zhang Ren can't take care of us!"

Yang Xiu groaned for a long time and said in a low voice.

"No!" Sima Yi shook his head: "Zhang Ren still has this bit of proportion!" ”

"But on the right battlefield of Long, the Wu army has the strength of one army, and General Zhang Ren not only has more than 20,000 elite troops in his hands, but also 100,000 Qiang troops, and there is no doubt that they will win, even if they are surrounded and killed, it is a normal thing!" Yang Xiudao.

"Maybe that's possible!"

Sima Yi had a gloomy face: "There is nothing absolute on the battlefield, something must have gone wrong here, I was too carried away and didn't pay attention in time, Zhang Ren's subordinates only had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the end, and the 100,000 Qiang army may not be trustworthy!" ”

"The general is suspicious of the Qiang army?"

"No doubts!" Sima Yi said: "I just feel that they may not be willing to fight for our Great Wei, and if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different!" ”

"General, I've asked the ghost pawn to investigate as much as possible, maybe no news is good news!" Yang Xiu thought for a while and said, "General Zhang Ren's ability, you also know it, can't you suppress a few Qiang leaders?" I'm sure he won't go wrong so easily! ”

"Hopefully!"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the topographic map in front of him: "Even if he has any accidents, I can't do it now, now we can only take care of the battle situation in front of us, what is the movement of the Wu army in Baitou Mountain!" ”

"Nope!"

Yang Xiu replied: "It's quiet, there is no intention of breaking through!" ”

"Dezu, how many days do you estimate their grain and grass will last?"

"It won't be more than ten days!"

"That is to say, they have run out of food and grass, and once they run out of food and grass, it is equivalent to self-destruction!" Sima Yi's eyes became sharper: "But they never have the intention of breaking through, this is a bit weird!" ”

"What do you mean by the general, he's dragging us?"

"From the time they gave up Longxian and went deep alone, their intention was to drag our main force, but now they don't hesitate to drag us with life and death, which makes me feel even more uneasy!"

Sima Yi's heart sank, and he said, "Wu Jun must have a plan!" ”

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Report to General Sima, this is a letter from Gusha Mountain in the north!" A dusty scout handed over a secret letter.

"Gu Shot Mountain?"

Sima Yi's eyes lit up slightly: "It should be that the Northern Wolf Guard is in place?" ”

He opened the letter, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but show an excited smile on his calm face: "Frustrated letter, Ma Chao has led the main force to Gushu Mountain, and he will go south in a few days!" ”

"That's great!" Yang Xiu was also excited.

"Dezu, I want to besiege and kill Chen Dao, Baitou Mountain can't withdraw troops here for the time being, you personally rush to Longxian, let Cao Zhang lead the troops to support, block the south of Jieting, and be sure to kill the Wu army in Jieting!" Sima Yi said with a murderous awe.

"No!"

Yang Xiu took the order and left. (To be continued.) )
