No one will know that this fine Chai Huan had already lowered Huo Yi, and even informed Huo Yi of the trail from the ditch to Nanshan and then to Nanzheng.

In the end, Xiahou Yuan made a decision, and the division of 3,000 troops led by Wang Ping, a fake school captain, went to Nanxiang City to guard Nanxiang, in case Huo Yi, a partial division, did not commit crimes from Cao Shuibei. Wang Ping is even more confident, Huo Yi may already be famous all over the world, but Wang Ping thinks that he is not inferior to any character, especially the place of battle is the border between Hanzhong and Brazil, which he is most familiar with, he has been in this place for more than 20 years, and he can grasp the breath of every mountain and water here.

Huo Yi led 5,000 military horses and stayed in Nanshan for more than ten days, and all the scouts under his command were sent to the Nanzheng area to find out the truth of Nanzheng. It is the main official road in Hanzhong, and Huo Yi also sent people to it, the purpose is to make sure that it is extremely safe for him to capture Nanzheng, because this battle is related to the situation of the battle of Hanzhong, and it also determines whether Huo Yi can obtain more great military achievements in this battle and further stabilize his position in Shuzhong.

5,000 people and horses dormant in the mountains and forests in early autumn, but it is extremely hard, after all, the summer heat has not faded, mosquitoes are everywhere, fortunately, these 5,000 people and horses, nearly half of them are Nanban and Shanyue soldiers, they have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, but there are various ways to live in the mountains and forests.

The waiting time is tormenting, after all, the three generals of Hanzhong are all world-famous figures, and Xiahou Yuan swept the northwest, even Ma Chao is not false; Xu Huang is a figure comparable to Zhou Yafu; Needless to say, Zhang He, a famous general in Hejian, is not a mediocre general.

If Nanzheng was heavily guarded, with the 5,000 lightly armed infantry without heavy siege equipment under his command, I am afraid it would be difficult to break through. Or the three of them had an extremely keen sense of smell, set up an ambush at the mouth of the South Valley, and were attacked and killed most of them before they set foot in the land of Hanzhong, which is very likely.

Ye Bing and Shen Tuqiang are both old men in the scouts, and spying on the defenses behind enemy lines that are not tight should be a matter of being captured. I'm afraid there will be news in the next two days.

As soon as the sky was faintly light, the soldiers who were dormant in the mountains and forests were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves. Ye Wei came back alone, got off the horse and ran to Huo Yi's big tent.

Huo Yi slept very lightly, and as soon as the guards opened the curtain door, Huo Yi woke up. Hearing that Ye Ji was back, Huo Yi hurriedly got up.

"General, it's all figured out! Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He and the like are nothing more than that! It's already a general. Let people lead 3,000 people to Nanxiang, and Nanzheng is only guarded by 1,000 old and weak! Ye Zhiyu said.

Huo Yi's heart was hanging for a long time, and finally let go. Huo Yi looked up at Ye Jiong: "Let people lead three thousand military horses to Nanxiang?" In this way, Xiahou Yuan still attaches great importance to our army, but do you know whether the leader is Zhang He or Xu Huang? ”

Ye Bing frowned: "It's not these two people, it's a captain named Wang Ping!" ”

"Wang Ping?" Huo Yi stood up. Apparently extremely surprised. "He's it?" Huo Yi knew who this Wang Ping was, a general in the middle and late stages of Shu, and a figure who was in charge of the elite and flying army.

"Does the general know this man? This person is unknown, not a general who is used to war! The last general has never heard of this person's name! Ye Ji looked at Huo Yi and said suspiciously.

Huo Yi smiled: "I heard that this person is Brazilian, although he is illiterate, he knows military strategy. What a strange man! ”

Ye Wei nodded, he firmly remembered this person in his heart, as the number one scout leader under Huo Yi, everyone Huo Yi mentioned was in his memory.

Huo Yi turned around, since Wang Ping appeared, Huo Yi naturally would not let this person go in vain, although it was inferior to those famous generals in the world, Wang Ping. But in the end, it is a general who uses troops smoothly and proficiently, Huo Yi does not lack anything now, what he lacks is generals. Even a division of troops, Wang Chong and Deng Ai can only stay in Jingnan, he can only take a group of immature young generals to Hanzhong to conquer, and even lead a dangerous errand such as a sneak attack by himself can only come by himself. There's really no one to use!

Huo Yi knew that this line of work was not only to capture Nanzheng, but also to take this person under his command by the way. As for how to do it. It can only be calculated. Since that person has won the trust of the three generals of Hanzhong, he can come out of the 3,000 people out of 30,000, and he must have the trust of one of them, and only by breaking this person's trust can he subdue Wang Ping.

Huo Yi spread out the map, but Ye Ji also knew what Huo Yi was going to do, so he came over and marked the various news from the detailed work under his command on the map one by one, such as how many military horses there were in which city, and how much assistance Nanzheng might get from that city.

Huo Yi understood this information and summoned the generals, Han Ping, Guan Xing, Zhao Tong, and Shen Tuqiang were still exploring the enemy near Nanzheng, so they were not present.

Huo Yi briefly introduced the news from the scout, and then discussed the feasibility of each strategy with the four generals, and finally decided on the plan, this Nanzheng, I, Huo Yi, have made it!

Nanzheng, where Hanzhong County is located, has always been the largest city north of Yangping Pass and south of Guanzhong.

The battle of Hanzhong was fought in the area of Chushui and Dingjun Mountain, and Nanzheng played more of the role of the Hanzhong support base, the city was full of grain and grass transported from Guanzhong, and the city guard was Zhao Hao, leading more than 1,000 old and weak to garrison Nanzheng, in fact, Nanzheng was in the rear, there would be basically no military disaster, leaving only a thousand old and weak, but the excess troops could be put into the frontal battlefield, but it was also a helpless move.

At the beginning of each month, there are more than 1,000 elites brought by the self-determined army Shanyi to transport the grain and grass required by the front line to the front line this month, so that the grain and grass can be in a safe place, and the grain and grass are too far ahead, which is obtained by the Shu army, and the army in Hanzhong is defeated without a fight.

This time is also the safest time for Nanzheng, after all, there will be more than 1,000 elites at this time, but in Huo Yi's view, the most dangerous moment for Nanzheng is also at this time, because Hanzhong at this time is an undefended city.

Dingjun Shanshu army camp, Liu Bei is in a hurry, the war in Wudu is very unsmooth, Wu Lan and Lei Tong led more than 10,000 Shuzhong sergeants who are arguing with the troops are broken by Cao Xiu, Wu Lan is the leader of the two ends of the rat and the Di people are killed, Lei Tong and Ren Kui died on the spot. The armies of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were held back by Cao Hong and Cao Zhen, and were forced to defend the area around Dangqiu and were not allowed to advance. Seeing that the situation of the Shu army was delicate, the Qiang and Di tribes, who had responded to the army, died down. In the first battle of Wudu, the Shu army was defeated, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost. At present, the two counties are only holding each other on the border of Wudu and Zitong, but fortunately, Cao Zhen and Cao Hong are taking the military strength of Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, and they dare not send troops to aid Bashu.

What Liu Bei hopes to get most at this moment is the news of Huo Yi's partial division, and now whether it is Wudu or Hanzhong's frontal battlefield, they are all in the stage of stalemate, and the only one who can break the balance is Huo Yi's partial division. is to discuss the account every time, and the first thing Liu Bei asks is, is there any news from General Huo? Every time he got the news, there was no news, which made Liu Bei extremely anxious.

And at this moment, the most worried person in the account is Liu Feng, he knows that the news he has spread is very likely to have reached the hands of the three generals of Hanzhong, and Huo Yi's 5,000 partial divisions are also very likely to die in Hanzhong. But when he thought about the 15,000 rear troops left by Huo Yi, his heart was slightly hot, and he was convinced that even if Huo Yi was unsuccessful, he would get this elite army, and he could also help the lord break through the Hanzhong defense line and occupy a county in Hanzhong.

Chang'an, the decaying Han palace room, has been renovated and re-emerged the grandeur of the former Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the Chang'an at this time is not the Chang'an of hundreds of years ago, and the withering population makes it seem so desolate.

Cao Cao was reading the battle report from Hanzhong in the Prime Minister's Office, and heard that Cao Xiu broke the Shu army, and he was very happy, after all, this is the only good news in the past few months, the army of Hanzhong is at a disadvantage compared to the army of Shuzhong, which is obvious, Cao Cao is also unable to, Hefei and Xiangfan must be guarded, the army of Hanzhong can hold the best, can not hold, he can only lead the military horses in Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong again, but once there is a police in the southeast, he can only abandon Hanzhong.

Seeing Cao Cao's smile, Sima Yi couldn't help but say on the side: "Prime Minister, our army's victory in this battle is really due to the Prime Minister's arrival in Guanzhong to boost the morale of the front-line generals!" Why didn't the prime minister take advantage of the situation to send troops, sweep away Liu Bei with the momentum of thunder, and settle Hanzhong? ”

Cao Cao smiled heartily: "Zhongda, don't hide it, don't you know the reason?" ”

Sima Yi was shocked, he was already trying his best to hide himself, but in the end he was still recognized by the prime minister, and immediately knelt down and said: "The prime minister's power is unpredictable, how does Yi know the reason?" In fact, Sima Yi was afraid of Cao Cao, and whenever Cao Cao asked for advice, Sima Yi only pretended to be stupid, and only occasionally showed his edge, afraid that Cao Cao would kill himself because of his talent.

Cao Cao smiled and didn't care. In his opinion, it is best for Sima Yi to be in awe of himself, and what he is most annoying is the characters who are arrogant and disloyal to him. If he can't control it, he must extinguish the threat and destroy it as soon as possible, which is his strategy for treating all talents. Talent, what about it? If I use you, you are a talent, and if you don't use you, you are not! If you insist on pretending to be, I will kill you. Only those who can control can enter their own staff and be valued by themselves.

Cao Cao continued to read the battle report in Hanzhong, and when he saw the last one, he frowned: "Huo Yi! Zhongda, but let's talk about it, what do you think of Huo Yi's use of soldiers? ”

Sima Yi knew that this had to be said, and he couldn't hide it anymore: "Yi Guan has used troops in the past, mostly to take risks as the top, but he is also mixed with regular soldiers, and it can be said that he is a very thorough person who understands the truth of the combination of righteousness and strangeness." It is the most unpredictable to use troops with such a character, but Zai Yi guesses that Huo Yi is more likely to go straight to Nanzheng than to Nanxiang. ”

Cao Cao frowned: "What's the explanation?" (To be continued......)
