Since the decision has been made, Hu Zhen can also be regarded as a vigorous and resolute person, and he immediately ordered troops to go out of the customs and attack Wen and Sun.

First, because Wen Chou's camp is farther away from Xingyang than Yique Pass, and secondly, because of Cao Cao's defeat, he was only spared, and even his own life was almost difficult to protect for a while, and he didn't care about thinking of reporting to Wen Chou, and thirdly, because Zhang Miao was not a person who could make a big deal, and it was okay to follow the heroes to cheer for him, and he could be independent in the event of a major event, but it was Wen Chou who learned the news of Cao Cao's defeat but was a day later than Hu Zhen.

Hearing that Cao Cao's army was defeated, the captains of Yuzhou, Yan Liang, Wenba and others were all shocked.

Sun Jian's color changed slightly, and he said: "I got the news a few times ago, General Cao, General Zhang, General Bao and Xu Rong fought against Xingyang, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the three of them were defeated. ”

Wen Chou said in his heart: "Cao Cao is still defeated as in history. "Said, "Meng De, Meng Zhuo and other troops were defeated, Chun Yuqiong was stationed in Hebei, outside the Luoyang Eight Passes, and now only I have all the soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo has no other worries, I expect him to order a large army to fight with me, my department has been fighting fiercely, the soldiers are not as good as him, and they are not as good as him, it is difficult to be his opponent, with my intentions, our army should first retreat to Yingchuan, and then discuss the advance." ”

Everyone agreed with Wen Chou's opinion, so they each passed down a military order and prepared to pull out the camp and return to the county.

As soon as the military order was issued, the scout Pegasus reported: "A Dong army has been found twenty miles outside General Zhao's camp. ”

General Zhao is talking about Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou named him as a lieutenant general, so the army also called him a general.

Wen Chou's heart jumped, and he said in his heart: "If you send troops from Luoyang, it is difficult to be so fast, this must be because Hu Zhen of Yique Pass heard that Meng De's army was defeated and knew that I would withdraw the army, so he sent troops to attack." He asked, "Who's under the banner?" ”

The scout said, "Huh." ”

Wen Chou said in his heart: "Sure enough." He asked again. How many soldiers and horses? ”

The scout said respectfully: "There are about 10,000 people, half of them on foot. ”

Wen Chou's mind turned slightly, and he said: "Pass on my military order, and order Zilong not to move, neither to attack nor to retreat." Let him be in the camp in safety, until I answer. ”

Zhao Yunzhi's department is the one with the most new soldiers in the Wen Chou army, about half of them, and if they retreat in a hurry at this time, they will inevitably be in a hurry, so there will be only one way to defeat. This is not because Wen Chou doubts Zhao Yun's ability to command troops, but because he is worried about the gap in the quality of his soldiers!

This scout received the order, and Pegasus rushed to Zhao Yunying to pass the order.

Sun Jian and the others hadn't left at this time, and Wen Chou said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai." Now Hu Zhen is attacking, Zilong can't be moved lightly, I will bring my own troops to meet it, and ask my brother to press the battle for me. ”

Sun Jian responded heartily: "With me here, don't worry about filial piety." ”

told Sun Jian that he would lead the troops to respond, and Sun Jian stayed here to suppress the formation, but Wen Chou did not immediately lead the troops out of the camp, but hesitated slightly.

Tian Feng, Tian Chou and the others in the tent knew him very well. Everyone knew that he must be thinking about how to respond to Zhao Yun is the best policy.

When Tian Feng heard that Hu Zhenbing was only twenty miles away from Zhao Yun's camp, he got up and walked to the map. He looked at the map with his beard for a moment, and he had already figured it out, and turned to Wen Chou and said: "Duke Ming, General Cao's army was defeated, and the morale of the Dong soldiers is high. I am afraid that we will inevitably have to fight with Dong Bing, and once we fight, it will be difficult for our army to retreat quickly. I have a plan that will allow Ming Gong not only to not have to fight Dong Bing, but also to scare him away. ”

Hu Zhen led thousands of elites. Once entangled by him, it will be difficult for Wen Chou and Sun Jian to get out quickly, and Dong Zhuo of Luoyang will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will inevitably send troops to help Hu Zhen, and at that time, once Dong Zhuo's army arrives, Wen Chou and Sun Jian will no longer be a question of getting out, but a question of how to save their lives.

Wen Chou said happily: "Oh? What's the plan? ”

Tian Feng Shi Ran said: "Ming Gong doesn't have to go outside the Zilong camp, but he can personally lead the troops to the north and put on a posture of fighting with Dong Bing. Although the morale of Dong Bing is high, but Ming Gong has won consecutive victories, and his generation must also be jealous of Ming Gong's prestige, seeing that Ming Gong is in person, he will definitely not attack Zilong's camp again, but will fight against Ming Gong instead. At this time, Ming Gong could order Zilong to go out of the camp and line up, posing as if he wanted to join forces with Ming Gong to attack Dong Bing. ”

Wen Chou frowned and asked, "And then?" ”

Tian Feng said unhurriedly: "After Ming Gong and Zilong set up a formation, they can fight against Dong Bing first, and when it is nightfall, Zilong can take this opportunity to lead his troops to retreat from Rongdong and join General Sun." ”

Wen Ba asked: "According to Mr.'s plan, General Zilong can certainly get out, but what about the eldest brother?" ”

Tian Feng explained: "After Zilong retreats, Ming Gong can deploy suspicious soldiers, confuse Hu Zhen, and then slowly retreat. ”

Yan Liang asked, "Then how will the eldest brother set up suspicious soldiers?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "After nightfall, Ming Gong can choose hundreds of elite soldiers, and attack him at night, Dong Bing does not know the truth, he will gather and consolidate himself, and Ming Gong can take the opportunity to retreat." ”

Wen Chou finally asked: "If Dong Bing learns that he is following and chasing, what should he do?" ”

Tian Fenghao said: "You can set up an ambush on the road and rush to kill for a while, and he will definitely not dare to chase it anymore." ”

Wen Chou was overjoyed and said, "Yuan Hao, this is really a wonderful plan!" ”

Tian Feng's strategy is really good, he has grasped the hearts of the people, although Hu Zhen is here to take advantage, but Wen Chou has a reputation for good fighting, and now he has won a streak, Hu Zhen and other generals will definitely be very jealous of him, once he is stopped by Wen Chou, he will definitely be careful in everything, they are careful, Wen Chou will have a chance to take advantage of it.

That is, according to Tian Feng's plan, Wen Chou ordered 3,000 elites in the headquarters, and asked Sun Jian to borrow 2,000 elite soldiers, a total of 5,000 people who dared to fight, and immediately went out of the camp and rushed to intercept Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen heard that Wen Chou personally led troops to intercept him, but as Tian Feng expected, he no longer advanced, but stopped, waiting for Wen Chou's troops to arrive.

After Wen Chou arrived, he set up a formation on the side of Hu Zhen's department, and asked Zhao Yun to come out of the camp, and also set up a formation outside the camp, making it look like he was going to fight Hu Zhen to the death together.

Hu Zhen galloped in front of the formation, looked at the Wenchou formation, and said to the generals on the left and right with a sigh: "I don't mean that the civil and military forces are brave and brave!" Today, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin were defeated, but he was the only one who dared to fight against our army without thinking of retreating. "Command the left and right," the civil and military forces are fierce and brave, and they must not underestimate the enemy, and they should be careful and vigilant against them. ”

A general said: "The two formations of civil and military forces are combined, and there are more than 15,000 soldiers, although there are more soldiers than us, but the elite soldiers are not as good as me, and now the formation of our two armies has been opened, why not rush to kill the Wen array now?" ”

"Although the civil and military elite soldiers are not as good as our people, but its two formations are hidden into horns, if I rush to one of them, I will be attacked by the other formation, and I can't rush into the battle, and my department gallops nearly a hundred miles, and the soldiers also need to rest and recuperate, and the army of Xiangguo will soon arrive, and when the army of Xiangguo arrives, the advantage will be stable in the hands of our army, and now it is the civil and military fierceness that is fighting urgently, not us, what the enemy wants, how can I give?"

Hu Zhen refused to march immediately, and the two armies faced each other in this way. (To be continued......)
