After getting Pengcheng, the Shu army rested in the city for three days, brought enough necessary food and weapons, replaced the worn-out armor and old and weak war horses, and each continued to go north with two war horses, I have to say that the capture of Pengcheng, Master Zhuge did earn it, because Xuzhou as the strategic rear of the two Huai battlefields, a large number of military supplies were hoarded here, in addition, in the west of Pengcheng, there was also a pasture for raising the largest war horses in the area of Cao Jun Qingxu, where four or five thousand Cao Cao's northern expedition Wuhuan brought back the high-quality horses, Unfortunately, I was served a pot by Young Master Zhuge !

"Zhan'er, this Cao Zhen is really fucking like a mad dog, chasing us so closely, fortunately we are two horses per person, otherwise we would have been dumplings by this guy a long time ago!" Zhao Yun touched his slightly sore thighs, riding a horse is really not a comfortable thing, it is said that after riding a horse for a long time, most people will become Luo Huan legs, especially those who have been riding horses since childhood, even more so.

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he smiled and said: "Master, let's attack Wancheng, fight Xudu, break Shouchun, trap Xuzhou, and crisscross thousands of miles in the hinterland of the Cao army, it seems that it really provoked our Prime Minister Cao Cheng, according to the report from Xu Du's internal line, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Cao Hong to go south to Lianghuai, Xu Huang and Cao Xiu crossed the river in the north, and Zhang Jaw, Xiahou Shang Chen Bing Yuzhou, this is a pocket array!" We're surrounded! ”

"Damn, so ruthless?" Sun Jiao, who was side by side with Young Master Zhuge Zhuge was shocked when he heard this, "There are a few of the soldiers and horses in these three roads, and there are about 100,000 of them, Cao Apu really looks up to us!" ”

"Major General, since there are Xu Huang and Cao Xiu's troops in Hebei, why do we keep going north now?" After leaving Xuzhou, Master Zhuge 's army traveled all the way north, and now it has reached the foot of Mount Tai, and there is a posture of crossing the river to the north, Fu Shiren is quite puzzled by this.

"Naturally, if you go north, you will cross the river and go north?" Young Master Zhuge smiled and replied.

"Huh?" Fu Shiren was surprised when he heard this, "Crossing the river to the north? Xu Huang Chen had tens of thousands of soldiers on the north bank of the river, and Cao Zhen's more than 10,000 cavalry pursued behind. The major general thinks twice! ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he waved his hand, and said: "The Art of War says: Attacking it is not prepared to take it by surprise, and now Xu Huang and Cao Xiu Chen have tens of thousands of soldiers in Hebei, so it is natural that I dare not cross the river north, since they expect that I will not dare to cross the river, how can I make full and careful defensive deployments?" They didn't expect that we were going to cross the river, and they didn't make full and careful defensive deployments, and we suddenly crossed the big river north at this time, which would inevitably achieve unexpected results, and Cao's army would be undefeated? Young Master Zhuge frowned, and said triumphantly.

When Fu Shiren heard this, he had a black line on his head and said with suspicion: "Is that so?" How do I feel like we're looking for death? ”

"General Fu, since Zhan'er said so, it must be wrong, you just execute it, don't question it anymore!" Zhao Yun saw that Fu Shiren was already suspicious, so he persuaded him.

Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's confidant and favorite general, and he is highly respected in the Shu army, even Zhao Yun said this, Fu Shiren has something else to say, so he had to give up his hand and agree: "Since even General Zhao said this, what else can you say next?" Promise! ”

Seeing that Fu Shiren stopped talking, Young Master Zhuge nodded with a rather relieved look and said, "General Fu, this place is not far from the big river, you can take the first step and go to the south bank of the big river to collect the boats of the army to cross the river!" You only have three days! ”

When Fu Shiren heard this, he nodded helplessly, and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order!" After saying that, he took the order and left.

The so-called "you have me, I have you", this is the most accurate summary of spy warfare, in spy warfare work, you should never hope that there is no enemy spy by your side, unless your opponent is really an idiot. For example, now, even within this lonely Shu army, which is far away from the rear and fighting on the move, it is impossible to rule out the existence of Cao Jun's espionage.

On the north bank of Surabaya, in Cao Zhen's camp, Cao Zhen put his hands behind his back, his back to the gate, and a guy dressed as a lieutenant behind him knelt on the ground and reported in a low voice: "Leader, the Shu army is preparing to cross the river to the north, Fu Shiren is one step ahead, and has begun to search for boats to cross the river on the south bank of the river!" ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked suspiciously: "Zhuge Zhan doesn't know that General Xu Huang is already waiting for troops on the north bank?" ”

"He knows!" The lieutenant replied.

"Know?" Cao Zhen turned around in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face, looked at the captain who was kneeling on the ground in confusion, waved his hand, and said, "Get up!" ”

"No!" The lieutenant got up and stood respectfully.

"If he knows, why did he cross the river? Will there be fraud? "Young Master Zhuge is scheming, insidious and cunning, since his debut, Cao Zhen has suffered his losses, he doesn't believe that Young Master Zhuge will be a fool who knows that there is a way of thinking in front of him.

"Leader Qiqi, Zhuge Zhan said......" The captain repeated what Zhuge Zhan said to Fu Shiren to Cao Zhen.

After hearing this, Cao Zhen laughed and said: "After all, it's still a doll, and the military book is not read like this!" If you kid wants to take it by surprise and hide it, how can I let you down? After Cao Zhen finished laughing, he stepped forward and patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, and said, "You go back first, don't let them see any flaws!" ”

The lieutenant nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, chief, that idiot trusts me and regards me as a confidant!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhen nodded, and said: "Even so, you still have to be more careful, do our business, if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life!" ”

"Thank you for the leader's concern, and the leader's teachings are kept in mind!" The lieutenant smiled and thanked him.

The captain was a shadow left by Cao Zhen after the Chibi War and when he retreated north, but he didn't expect it to play a role at this time.

The captain said goodbye to Cao Zhen, took advantage of the night, got on his horse and whipped away.

After the captain left, Cao Zhen summoned the marching Sima and ordered the whole army to slow down the journey, the marching Sima was very surprised after hearing it, and asked Cao Zhen puzzled, the Shu army is close at hand, why slow down the whole army's journey, Cao Zhen smiled and waved his hand, let him execute the order, don't ask more, Cao Zhen said so, and the marching Sima is not easy to say.

Cao Zhen's order was conveyed, and after that, the vanguard officers Zhang Han and Li Huai were puzzled, and the sentry came to report that the Shu army had arrived on the south bank of the river, and had been stepping up the search for ships these days, and all the signs indicated that the Shu army was preparing to force the crossing of the river and flow towards the Hebei mansion.

Hebei is the territory of Yuan Shao in the past, although since the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207), after the Yuan Shang brothers were killed by Sun Kang, the Taishou Gong of Liaodong, the Yuan power basically disappeared in Hebei, but the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the tree has deep roots, even if it is more than ten years later, some of the remnants of the Yuan family still occupy the mountains and forests, dangerous and stubborn, and do not want to return to the king, if the Shu army escapes into Hebei, and these remnants of the stream, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no sparks, so that the remnants of the Yuan family will resurge!
