The total number of Dong troops attacking Yingchuan is about 10,000, and the combined forces of Wen Chou and Sun Jian are now 40,000 people.

Therefore, the 5,000 Dong troops at Yuyuan Pass did not move, and Wen Chou could not rashly attack without sufficient certainty.

Wen Chou said to Sun Jian: "The thief's love is already clear: two Dong Jun, one false and one real. The purpose of the Dong army is to hold back the main force of our army, so that I dare not leave Yangzhai without permission, and go all out to help the direction of my father's city; The Dong army of the Huaxiong Department is real, and its purpose is obviously to seize the father city and Jiaxian, firstly, to control the southern town of our county, and secondly, it is estimated that it is also to cut off the connection between you and me and Luyang. ”

Sun Jian thought so and said: "It's a pity that Yuyuan Pass is too close to our county, otherwise I can attack the Dong army of Yuyuan Pass with all my strength." ”

Yuyuan Pass is next to Yingchuan, and it is at the border between Yingchuan and Henan Yin, and the Dong army of the five thousand people who went out of the pass can fight if they win, and withdraw if they can't win, and once they withdraw into Guanzhong, Wen Chou and Sun Jian can only look at Guan Xing and sigh, helpless. In other words, that is to say, as long as the nail of Yuyuan Pass is not removed, Wen Chou and Sun Jian will not be able to fully assist Father City and Jiaxian.

There is a vicious dog squatting at the door of the house, always eyeing the tiger, which is not pleasant. But there was nothing to be done. The terrain of Yuyuan Pass is too dangerous, and if you want to attack it, the price is too high.

Tian Chou was also present, and he said with a smile: "Although I can't go all out to help my father city and Jiaxian because of the Dong army of Yuyuan Pass, Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang, who were sent by Sun Hou to attack Huaxiong's department, are all fierce generals, and the soldiers are also the elite of the battlefield, and they are all in the middle of the road. Surprised by the enemy, although the soldiers and horses of the Huaxiong Department were numerous, in my opinion, they were not far from defeat. ”

……

There is a small mountain col more than ten miles north of Mucheng County, where Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, and Han Dangtun are armies. Wu Jing is Sun Jian's brother-in-law, so among the three. Take him as the master. He showed the order he had just received from Sun Jian to Cheng Pu and Han Dang: "The general has given an order, and I am ordered to wait for the opportunity to enter the battle." ”

Cheng Pu frowned and said, "I don't think Huaxiong is a little right." ”

Han Dang asked, "Why did Cheng Gong say this?" What's wrong? Cheng Pu was the oldest among the generals under Sun Jian's account, so he was honored as "Cheng Gong" by the generals.

Cheng Pu said: "In the past two days, the military reports have said that Huaxiong will not attack the siege, he knows that Yangzhai is only a hundred or dozens of miles away from his father's city, and the reinforcements will arrive in two days at most. I look at Huaxiong's posture. Instead, it looks like we're waiting for our reinforcements to arrive. ”

Wu Jingyan said: "What does Cheng Gong mean that Huaxiong wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements? …… Probably not, he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the siege is already reluctant, so where is the spare strength to send reinforcements? ”

Cheng Pu replied: "So I don't understand, that's why I just said that Huaxiongbu seems to be a little wrong." ”

When it comes to martial arts, Wu Jing is not as good as Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and when it comes to military strategy. Wu Jing is also slightly inferior, so he can be the main general of the troops in the Father City this time. It's purely because of his identity, but Wu Jing has an advantage, that is, he is not arbitrary, at this time, after listening to Cheng Pu's words, he thought about it carefully and felt that Cheng Pu was right. This Huaxiong Department is really a little suspicious, so he is "as good as a stream", and said: "Listening to Cheng Gong's words, the Huaxiong Department is indeed quite suspicious,...... Cheng Gong. In the eyes of the public, what should our ministry do now? ”

Cheng Pu frowned and said: "In my opinion, you must not attack rashly, anyway, the Huaxiong Department will not attack the siege, and the father city is not in danger of falling now, I might as well send a messenger to send this enemy situation to Yang Zhai quickly, report to the general, Wen Wumeng, and ask him to make a decision." ”

Wu Jing thought about it for a while and said, "It's okay, just follow what Cheng Gong said." ”

The decision was made, and Wu Jing immediately sent someone to Yang Zhai to report.

……

Outside the city of the father, the camp of the Dong Army. Hua Xiong stood on the high ground outside the tent, looking at the county town in front of him.

This position is a few miles away from the father city, although you can see the city wall, but the specific defense deployment on the city wall is not clear, Hua Xiong squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, called the left and right approach, the city wall inside and outside, and said: "I have heard that the civil and military warriors are the Jizhou Tigers, and the brave generals and warriors under his account, although I have not seen much, but I know more about his name, today's defenders of the city are Yan Liang generations, I should retreat, if it is the Wenba generations, I can compete with the heroes, and now the defenders of the city are Lu Liang ....... He spat contemptuously, but this was because Lu Liang was not famous outside. Hua Xiong continued, "It's a pity that Xiangguo clearly ordered me to only besiege the city and not attack it, otherwise, the father city would be ours now!" ”

Left and right are in harmony.

Hua Xiong asked, "What is Yang Zhai's current movement?" ”

One said: "It's still the same." ”

Hua Xiongyan said: "Still haven't sent troops? ”

The first general replied: "Wen and Sun only sent Zhao Yun to lead the troops to help Zhou Lu, at least according to the military report of our department, I did not see them divide their troops to save their father's city." ”

Hua Xiong then said to Zang Denied: "When I was fighting for Bian Zhang and Han Sui, I was also in the army with Sun Jian, and he used the word 'light and fierce' with his soldiers, but the civil and military forces were not, although the fierceness was not inferior, but the strategy was not bad, the father city was besieged, how could the civil and military fierce not be saved?" I expected that he would have troops and horses to help, but he had not yet been discovered by our troops. ”

Both left and right complimented: "The captain is wise." ”

Hua Xiong ordered: "Sprinkle more scouts and explore horses, be cautious and careful, and don't be attacked by Wen and Sun." ”

Everyone promised.

Hua Xiong changed his words and asked, "What about Lu Yang?" What's happening? ”

The first general replied: "Not a single soldier has left the city. ”

Hua Xiong smiled contemptuously again, and his gaze shifted from the father city in front of him to the south, where Lu Yang was located. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the fields are endless, although it is impossible to see Luyang City, but Hua Xiong's eyes seem to have passed through a distance of more than 100 miles, and he looked into the city of Luyang, he said contemptuously: "Yuan Highway's death is not far away!" ”

Not long after, such a scene happened in Wenchou Camp.

"Zixiao, Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, and Han Dangjun reported that Huaxiong besieged his father's city and did not attack it, which is very suspicious." Wen Chou looked up and saw that it was Sun Jian who hurriedly came in from outside the tent.

Wen Chou said without thinking: "Brother Wentai, I also just received a military report. ”

Sun Jian asked, "What is it?" ”

Wen Chou frowned and said with a wry smile: "Hu Zhen is in command of the soldiers and horses, and he has arrived in Luyang. ”

Sun Jian was surprised: "Hu Zhen's troops have arrived in Luyang? ”

Wen Chou said: "Exactly. ”

Sun Jian was about to sit on the seat, when he heard Wen Chou's words, he was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Dong Zhuo Pifu, it turns out that attacking my Yingchuan is just a feint?" (To be continued.) )
