Chapter 317: Outwitting Fei County

Luo Zhenyu saluted and continued: "Although Sun Xuanya's army is twice as large as Wang Bo's, its equipment is poor, only 10,000 people have Sui army equipment, so the key to the two of them being able to live in peace is that Wang Bo's army is strong. ”

In fact, Pei Renji knew all this information, he just didn't believe Zhang Xuan a little, and wanted to confirm it from Luo Zhenyu, what Luo Zhenyu said was completely consistent with Zhang Xuan's information, he nodded, "Since Wang Bo's troops are stronger, he must act cautiously, wear my orders, and rest the army for three days!" ”

Bae In-ki needs to get Zhang Xuan's cooperation before he can officially go south to attack Wang Bo's army

After Zhang Xuan's army captured Dong'an County and Yishui County, the thieves guarding Ju County immediately withdrew, so that Zhang Xuan's soldiers occupied Ju County without blood, and he immediately ordered Wei Chigong to rectify the surrendered soldiers in Dong'an County and train them into a usable army.

Zhang Xuan did not stay long, he immediately led 5,000 troops to carry the baggage south, and the target was Fei County, an important town in Langya County.

Fei County is located in the south-central part of Langya County, only 60 miles away from Linyi County, known as the north gate of Linyi County, the strategic position is very important, and Fei County is surrounded by plains, many rivers, sufficient water sources, and is also an important grain producing area of Langya County.

According to the tactics discussed by Zhang Xuan and Pei Renji in advance, Zhang Xuan was responsible for capturing Fei County, and the army suppressed Sun Xuanya in Linyi County, so that Sun Xuanya could not rescue Wang Bo's army, and then Pei Renji led the main Flying Eagle Army to fight a decisive battle with Wang Bo's army.

As long as Pei Renji defeated Wang Bo's army, he continued to move south to join Zhang Xuan, and the two sides attacked Linyi left and right, crushing Sun Xuanya's army in one fell swoop.

This is a very beautiful tactic, which requires tacit cooperation between the two armies, and now that the first step of the two armies has been realized, then it is necessary to start working on the second step. Pei Renji first stood still and waited for Zhang Xuan to conquer Fei County.

Fei County is also a large county, with a population of more than 30,000 people in 6,000 households, the circumference of the city is about 20 li, the city wall is tall and strong, and the area is rich. With a large population and an important strategic position, Sun Xuanya also attached great importance to the defense of Fei County, and Chen Haishi, a special confidant, led 10,000 elite soldiers to be stationed in the city.

At this time, Sun Xuanya had already received the news that the Sui army had sent troops to Langya County, and he was very nervous, and ordered Chen Haishi to stick to Fei County, and did not allow him to go out to meet the enemy, even if the other party only had a hundred soldiers. You are not allowed to fight! Sun Xuanya gave a death order.

Chen Haishi also carried out the orders of the lord very much, closed the city gates, and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

On the morning of that day, Zhang Xuan led an army of 5,000 to Fei County, and slowly stopped three miles away from Fei County, and Zhang Xuan immediately ordered to camp on the spot.

The soldiers began to busily set up their tents, and instead of carrying the camp fences, they laid out spear arrays around the camp with 200,000 spears. Spears were stuck diagonally outward in the dirt, and the sharp tips of the hairs formed a large forest of spears. Makes it difficult for enemy forces to sneak attack.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan sent more than 100 cavalry scouts on the periphery to monitor the enemy's every move.

In a small wooded area covered with trees not far from the camp, Zhang Xuan and his generals looked at the fortified city from a distance, the banner of King Langya fluttering in the wind on the top of the city, and the guards could be seen at every battlement. Bow and arrow in hand, ready to fight, and there is not a trace of holes in the defense.

"General, if the enemy army can't fight to the death, this city will not be easy to capture!"

Wei Chigong was a little worried, they only carried twenty siege ladders. How can they attack a well-defended city, but if they fight a long-term siege war, they will lose the significance of attacking Fei County.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Jingde, the way to be brave lies in the general, the way to be handsome lies in planning, the art of war, planning and then moving, this is like playing chess, if I don't lay out in advance, how dare I move the sword soldiers." ”

Everyone understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and they all said excitedly: "It turns out that the general has already arranged it!" ”

"Otherwise, how dare I agree to Pei Shuai's request and take Fei County first?" Jang Hyun smiled and said to everyone

At the intersection of the center of Philadelphia County is a deep alley, there are more than 20 families in the alley, the innermost of which is a small mansion covering an area of about three acres, the owner's surname is Jiang, is a businessman who has been running around all the year round, this small mansion is entrusted to the brother to rent out, collect a little rent.

During this time, the other residents of the alley found that a merchant lived in the small house, and every day he took the goods to the north gate to sell, and did not return until night, but other than that, there seemed to be no other guests in the house.

This merchant was naturally ordered to infiltrate Shen Guang in Langya County, he did not return to Beihai County after leaving Linyi County, but hid in Fei County, because when he entered Langya County, the war had not yet broken out, and the management of Fei County was very lax, so that his subordinates used various identities as a cover to enter the county.

During the day, Shen Guang went to the area of the North Gate to sell silk, in fact, to observe the defense deployment of the thief army, and at night he came back to draw a map, after five or six days of continuous observation, he had already figured out the defense deployment in the area of the North City.

On that morning, the atmosphere in Philadelphia County was visibly tense, all the shops were closed, every household was not allowed to go out, and groups of soldiers rushed through the city to find suspicious people.

In fact, a few days ago, after the news that the Sui army had captured Yishui County and Dong'an County, Fei County closed the city gates and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

Shen Guang no longer set up stalls to sell goods, but patiently waited for the arrival of the main force of the Sui army.

Night fell quietly, Shen Guang walked into the inner hall of the backyard, and there were more than fifty of Shen Guang's subordinates sitting in the inner hall, who were silently eating dinner, and when they saw the leader come in, everyone stood up one after another.

Shen Guang smiled at everyone: "The atmosphere outside is already very tense, the general has set up a large camp outside the northern city, the operation is tonight, everyone try to eat as much as possible, there will be a bloody battle at night." ”

......

Within about 300 steps to the east of the north city wall of Fei County, 500 soldiers led by a lieutenant were responsible for the defense, they were divided into five teams, each team was responsible for more than two hours, monitoring the outside of the city day and night, they did not need patrols, each person was responsible for three steps away, observing every move of the Sui army camp outside the city.

As night fell, another group of 100 soldiers went up to the city to take over, and they each entered their posts, standing guard with spears in their hands, and after about an hour, the spirit of the first post had faded, and the soldiers began to be listless and yawn desperately.

The night was dark, and there was no human figure to be seen a few steps away, at this time, the five soldiers guarding the east corner of the wall glanced at each other, they were naturally Shen Guang's subordinates, and they were also natives of Fei County.

Their task was to be responsible for delivering letters to the outside world and contacting the Sui army, at this time, they saw that the time had come, took out a roll of rope that had been prepared, tied one end to the battlements, and threw the other end down the city, one of the soldiers jumped lightly on the battlements, climbed the rope like a monkey and sank quickly, silently dived into the moat, swam across the wide moat, and soon disappeared into the night.

At this time, when I first arrived in Hai, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, it was dark in the Sui army camp, and the soldiers all went to bed early, and only a thousand soldiers in charge of defense patrolled around the camp.

The lights in the big tent of the Chinese army are still on, Zhang Xuan is standing in front of the map and discussing the next plan with Fang Xuanling, for Zhang Xuan, it is not a big problem to seize Fei County, but he is a little worried about Pei Renji.

"Is the general worried that Pei Shuai will underestimate the enemy?"

Fang Xuanling can understand Zhang Xuan's worries very well, although he has not worked with Zhang Xuan for a long time, Fang Xuanling has gradually understood this young lord.

Although he is young, he has a kind of old spicy and mature that does not match his age, not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely strategic, far-reaching, and a man of great talent, but it is a pity that his background is a little worse, otherwise his appeal will be extraordinary.

Zhang Xuan sighed, "Because this battle is very important to Pei Renji, I am worried that he will be eager to invite merit, but he will not be able to achieve it quickly." ”

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "Pei Shuai is a very cautious person, although he is a little stubborn and self-serving, but he will not be in a hurry to seek credit, in fact, his subordinates are worried that he will despise the general." ”

"Despise me?" Zhang Xuan was a little puzzled, "How do you say this?" ”

"When people are old, they are prone to commit the common problem of the elderly, that is, they despise the younger generations and despise the young people, especially the general has not been in the army for a long time, how can Pei Shuai be convinced of the general? He cooperated with the general to fight only because he needed the assistance of the general's army, but in fact, he despised the general in his bones. ”

Jang Hyun was silent for a moment and asked, "If he despises me, what will be the consequences?" ”

"He won't follow the general's advice, and he won't take the general's advice, he will only fight according to his own plan, the general advises him to be careful of Wang Bo, will he really take it to heart?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that it is necessary for me to write a letter to Qin Qiong, he can not believe me, but he should believe Qin Qiong." ”

"Here's a way!"

While the two were talking, a soldier reported in the big tent: "General Qiyu, General Shen has sent his men to contact." ”

Zhang Xuan was in good spirits, and hurriedly ordered: "Bring him in quickly!" ”

In a moment, the soldiers brought in a young soldier dressed in a thief uniform.

"Scout battalion Zhao Ying see general!" The young soldier knelt down on one knee and saluted. (To be continued......)
