Time did not give Zhang Miao more opportunities to think about it, he had already given an order, this is already a situation where the arrow has to be sent on the string, and it is too late to repent, so Zhang Miao will no longer think about this, everything is not as important as the current war, everything is based on the victory and defeat of this war, Zhang Miao still has a glimmer of hope before the real division of the victory or defeat, even if it is very slim.

And the same nervous is the people under Xu Ji in Yuxian County, this time it can be said that Xu Ji's power has faced the greatest and most severe challenge since its establishment, and the meaning of this time is by no means different from the past, the outcome of the victory or defeat is not only the future and fortune of Xu Ji, but also the future of all the people under Xu Ji's command. Once Xu Ji wins, it can be predicted that Xu Ji's strength and strength will rise, and it is even possible to be promoted because of this, and the reason for the promotion is also very simple, Xu Ji will definitely solve Zhang Miao, and then Chen Liutaishou's position will be vacant, and the most suitable person to take over this position is undoubtedly Xu Ji, and in the same way, if Xu Ji fails, he will face Zhang Miao's pursuit that will never stop, and the people who are Xu Ji's subordinates will not have any good results unless they choose to surrender.

At this time, the air in Yu County seemed to be filled with a heavy smell like metal, Xu Ji stood on the top of the city tower and looked at the direction of Chen Liuxian, and the person next to him was Guo Jia, Dian Wei stood side behind Xu Ji. Xu Ji retracted his gaze after looking at it for a long time, and sighed faintly and said, "Life and death, blessings and misfortunes, it's really hard to say." Guo Jia beside him smiled and said: "Why should the Lord sigh, hasn't people's blessings and disasters always depended on themselves?" Since someone has made a choice, of course he has to bear the consequences of doing so, right? This "he" refers to Zhang Miao.

Xu Ji turned his head to look at Guo Jia. found that the prodigal son looked indifferent, and then said: "This time is about you and my life." Feng Xiao is not panicked at all. Guo Jia couldn't hear the ridicule in Xu Ji's words, and he immediately sneered at each other: "That's not as good as the leisure and elegance of the Lord." The enemy is still interested in coming to the castle tower to watch the scenery. ”

Xu Ji shook his head helplessly when he heard this, no longer paying attention to Guo Jia, but turned his head to Dian Wei behind him and said, "Junqing, you go and call Zihe, I have something to tell him." Oh, when I come back, my name is Wen Qian, and I have another assignment for him. Dian Wei nodded and went down, he didn't understand what Xu Ji and Guo Jia said, so he didn't waste his brain thinking about it.

And after Dian Wei left, Guo Jia frowned and asked, "Is there anything else that hasn't been arranged?" Zihe's subordinates are now the most elite troops in Yu County, are you still fighting Zhang Miao outside the city? ”

Xu Ji looked back at the banner of the word "Xu" waving in the wind at the head of the city and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Guo Fengxiao." You can guess that. As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia immediately became calm: "Now that our side is at a disadvantage, why don't you refuse to defend the city but take the initiative to attack?" Zhang Miao is not an ordinary opponent, if it is not good, it is a situation where you lose the whole game with a wrong move, Wen Lie, have you really thought about it? ”

Guo Jia was already excited to take care of his status as a subordinate now, and for Guo Jia's fierce opposition to Xu Ji, he was unusually calm, and he even explained with a smile: "It is indeed the safest to refuse the city and defend it, but since this battle has begun, why not strike at the other party's arrogance when the other party's foothold is not stable?" Another purpose of going out of the city to fight must be that Feng Xiao also understands that I will occupy Yuxian for a short time. At this time, the people's will is very important, if I can resist the enemy outside the city gate, will it just strengthen the people's will? And I dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, which was definitely beyond Zhang Miao's expectations, even if the effect was not great, but at least it could contain the momentum of Zhang Miao's army. Of course, Xu Ji didn't say anything, the reason why he wanted to fight Zhang Miao outside the city was to show his strength. And the wider terrain outside the city can also give him more room to play.

And Guo Jia saw that Xu Ji had strengthened his determination, so he didn't say more, he knew Xu Ji's character very well, and Xu Ji would not change the decision he had made. And Guo Jia immediately began to think about what favorable conditions he could obtain by fighting outside the city. And what can be used? This is also what Xu Ji needs Guo Jia to do. Just when Guo Jia was still thinking about it, Dian Wei took Gao Shun and Le Jin to the top of the city tower.

After the salute, Gao Shun immediately asked, "What is the arrangement that the Lord has called me?" "Obviously, Gao Shun has also completely entered a state of combat readiness. And Xu Ji could see from his eyes how eager Gao Shun was to fight.

"I want you to lead your troops out of the city and ambush them on the road that Chen Liulai has to pass through to Yu County. Wait for him to go over first and cut off Zhang Miao's troops from the middle! "Xu Ji's plan is very risky, what he wants to do is undoubtedly cut off the connection between Zhang Miao's front and rear armies, and the Chinese army must immediately return to the front to help, so the positive pressure is actually not very large, and the rear has Chen Zhi that Xu Ji arranged earlier, so that Zhang Miao's department will be cut off, so that Zhang Miao will not be able to gather all his strength to fight Xu Ji, but the risk of doing so is also huge, Once Gao Shun's subordinates are unable to cut off Zhang Miao's Chinese army, then both Xu Ji in front and Chen Zhi behind enemy lines will face huge risks. Even if Gao Shun can cut it off, if he can't hold out to Xu Ji's rescue, then this plan is also empty, and it will take Gao Shun and all the soldiers in his department, which can almost be regarded as a desperate practice. However, surprisingly, Guo Jia did not say anything to stop him, and Gao Shun did not respond in the slightest difficulty: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Of course, Guo Jia can't see how huge the risk of this plan is, but compared to the risk, the results of this plan after the success of the plan are more attractive, once Xu Ji's plan is successful, then Zhang Miao can't even touch the city gate of Yu County, and with the remnants of the soldiers, he will never be able to capture Yu County, and Zhang Miao can't afford to delay, his grain will always be threatened, Xu Ji has strong capital, and he doesn't need to worry about the problem of grain and grass at all when he fights with his back to Yu County.

The only thing that reassures Guo Jia is that Gao Shun can really accomplish Xu Ji's almost crazy goal with the less than 1,000 soldiers under his command? And that's just a matter of waiting to be seen. After Gao Shun received the order, Xu Ji turned his head and said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian, you also have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and the task of charging forward will be undertaken by the Guards Battalion at that time." Junqing is going to be by my side, so you will lead the guard battalion alone as a vanguard. When Le Jin heard this, he said with a smile: "Wen Qian has been waiting for such a day." The lord can rest assured, if Wen Qian can't defeat Zhang Miao's former army, he is willing to come to see him. ”

After receiving the order, they left the tower together. Xu Ji turned his head to look at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao thinks this arrangement is okay?" Guo Jia shook his head lightly: "It's still too risky, once you fail, I'm afraid your strength will be greatly damaged." ”

Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "If I lose, these will disappear, if I can win, I can get back what I lost." After saying that, he stopped speaking, and the black clouds in the sky pressed over again, and Xu Ji said quietly: "The black clouds are pressing the city and want to destroy it, I don't know how many people want to see me Xu Wenlie hate this." There was indescribable embarrassment and emotion in his tone. Guo Jia behind him also let out a long sigh, this situation is really difficult to say victorious or defeated.

At this time, Zhang Miao, who was in the army on his way to Yu County, also had a gloomy expression on his face. Although everything seems to be nothing wrong, but Zhang Miao is a little uneasy for some reason, the sky is a little gloomy, it seems that there will be a spring rain, and there is still nearly a day's journey from Yu County, the closer to Yu County Zhang Miao's sense of ominousness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, he turned around and asked a lieutenant-like humanist behind him: "Have the grain and grass escort teams been arranged?" The lieutenant bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Everything is arranged according to the orders of Lord Taishou." Zhang Miao turned his head at this time, although everything was as usual, but just like this bad weather. Zhang Miao felt that she would soon face the same bad weather as the weather.

At this time, a team of men and horses had been hung behind Zhang Miao's department, which was a small army of only five horsemen, and this team was not far from Zhang Miao's army and kept a distance of thirty miles, and the leader was a young white-robed general. Take a closer look, this person is Chen Dao who has left Yu County! And this team of people needless to say that their identities are already clear, it is the only cavalry army of Xu Ji under Chen Zhi's command.

A knight behind Chen asked, "General." How long will it take? This is still far from Yu County. Chen Zhi smiled and patted his helmet and said, "Don't worry, do you remember what I said?" The goal is baggage and grain and grass. These guys aren't our target, and. I'm almost ready to get work! After that, Chen Zhi looked in the direction of Chen Liuxian, and there was a sharp cold light in his eyes.

Zhang Miao naturally didn't know that there had been such a group of uninvited guests on his grain road, he was bothered by another thing at this time, the sky had begun to drift a light rain, it was spring, the rain would not stop for a while and a half, and Zhang Miao carried siege equipment with the army were all heavy ordnance, it was really difficult to move on the muddy road, even if he fought slower, but the speed of the march still made him a little dissatisfied, but giving up these Zhang Miao was a little unable to let go, not to mention that the cost of these ordnance was expensive and time-consuming. It is indispensable to want to capture Yuxian, otherwise Zhang Miao must rely on the lives of the soldiers to pile up until he can attack Yuxian, but this is obviously impractical, Zhang Miao does not have so many soldiers under his command to let him do this, so this batch of equipment can not be given up from any point of view, but now these bulky guys have seriously slowed down the speed of the march, even Zhang Miao knows that Xu Ji must have taken a deep guard at this time, but it is good to be able to grab a little time, Zhang Miao was not interested in facing a county that was completely prepared for defense, and it was by no means something that could be easily captured.

It's just that what to do with these ordnance has become a problem that must be solved, no matter what Zhang Miao thinks, this problem has already crossed his way to Yuxian. In the end, Zhang Miao had to choose to abandon these guys for the time being, and handed them over to the baggage team that then transported grain and grass to escort, and he led his troops to Yuxian first. Zhang Miao's consideration is very simple, his plan is that the battle with Xu Ji cannot be solved in a short time, and he is bound to set up camp outside the city of Yuxian first, so these weapons will eventually arrive even if they are slow, and the impact on him is only to attack the city later, and Zhang Miao can still accept it.

It's just that Zhang Miao didn't expect that Xu Ji had already arranged Chen Zhi's move in advance, and I am afraid that these ordnance will never reach Yu County, but this is a later story. At this time, Zhang Miao finally got rid of his ominous feeling of not knowing where it came from, although it was still drizzling, but Zhang Miao couldn't care about it so much at this time, and after temporarily putting aside the heavy ordnance that delayed the march, he once again ordered his troops to speed up the march.

Xu Ji was also rewarded by the scouts, and this is also where Zhang Miao is not as good as Xu Ji. Xu Ji had already placed his scouts under Zhang Miao's nose, but Zhang Miao still didn't know anything about the situation in Yu County. After learning Zhang Miao's whereabouts, Xu Ji also understood that his plan might have a great chance of success, because those Zhang Miao's treasures' unsatisfactory ordnance must still need to leave a considerable amount of manpower to protect it. In this way, the number of Zhang Miao's Chinese army and the first troops will inevitably be reduced accordingly, and through Zhang Miao's decision, Xu Ji can also deduce that Zhang Miao's plan is a siege battle. He never expected that Xu Ji would have to fight him outside the city, which also gave Xu Ji more room to operate. He first ordered Gao Shun to lead his troops to ambush in the rain, and then left Yuxian with Dian Wei and Le Jin to lead the army, and he wanted to camp outside the city.

And Guo Jia was responsible for staying in Yu County, and the general left to him was Xu Qian, who had just led his troops back from Xiangyi, and most of the troops brought by Xu Qian were taken out of the city by Xu Ji.

With the sound of spring rain. Xu Ji also placed the camp ten miles away from Yu County before nightfall, which is the place where the official road is close to the left, that is to say, if Zhang Miao wants to attack Yu County, he must first face this large camp between him and Yu County, and it is not so easy to bypass this big camp, here is facing the river and the other side is the mountains and forests, no matter what Zhang Miao decides, you can see it at a glance, this is also Xu Ji's little trick, he wants to force Zhang Miao to fight him head-on, yes. It was to force Zhang Miao, he wanted to force Zhang Miao to fight when Zhang Miao's foothold was not stable or even unable to set up camp, and don't forget that Zhang Miao was still a tired army.

Xu Ji will not let go of anything that can give him an advantage, even a small detail, he will never let go. And Zhang Miao has fallen into the situation set up by Xu Ji without knowing it, this is Xu Ji's first advantage, even in the face of Zhang Miao's army that is stronger than himself, Xu Ji is still very calm to set up the situation and layout. And as Zhang Miao and his subordinates approached, Xu Ji was also ready, and Xu Ji, who was standing on the arrow tower behind the camp gate, heard more than the sound of spring rain in his ears. He could still hear the sound of footsteps crashing against the ground, the grinding of armor and weapons.

"Junqing. It's coming. Xu Ji said something that Dian Wei sounded a little inexplicable, but Xu Ji didn't explain, and Dian Wei didn't try to ask, the two just looked at the vista in front of them that were misty by the spring rain, and there seemed to be a fierce beast hidden in front of the faintly blurred mist, and at this time Xu Ji seemed to be a warrior who was about to challenge this beast.

The victory or defeat is still unknown, but the superiority has been decided.

Such a sentence suddenly flashed in Xu Ji's heart, and then he let out a self-deprecating smile, and Dian Wei behind him said a little unknowingly: "Why is the lord laughing?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "I just remembered a funny thing, what about Wen Qian?" Seeing that Xu Ji was not interested in explaining, Dian Wei stopped asking and replied respectfully: "Wen Qian is preparing weapons and armor with the personal guard battalion, and it will take a short time. Hearing this, Xu Ji nodded and did not speak again, but turned his head to look at the soldiers in the camp behind him, and then said to Dian Wei: "Junqing, who do you think will win this battle?" Dian Wei couldn't hear what Xu Ji meant from this sentence, but in the heart of telling the truth, he replied: "It seems that the lord's chances of winning are not big, and the people of Yuxian County also say the same, but Wei believes that the lord will win!" ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "Why does Junqing think that I will win?" But Dian Wei replied seriously: "Because the lord has never lost, so Dian Wei thinks that the lord will continue to win like this." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji stopped laughing and turned a little serious, yes, he has never been defeated since his long club, and this kind of undefeated achievement sometimes looks quite scary, but only Xu Ji himself knows what kind of price he has paid along the way, this is not luck but what he has exchanged for his own efforts little by little. What is invincible? The reason for the success of every victor is the same, that is, the efforts they have made, but these Xu Ji did not intend to explain to Dian Wei, because these do not need to be said with their mouths, only those who see it will understand these truths.

At this time, there was a shout from a scout-like person under the arrow tower: "Lord, lord!" ”

Xu Ji came back to his senses and said, "What's the matter?" The scout knelt down when he saw Xu Ji open his mouth to ask, and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Miao's department will arrive outside the camp tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Xu Ji's eyes.

Finally, is it coming? Zhang Mengzhuo, Xu Wenlie will "entertain" you well, I hope you are not polite.

This is the thought that flashed in Xu Ji's heart at this time, and Dian Wei beside him knew that Zhang Miao was going to be unlucky, and I am afraid it is not a small trouble. (To be continued......)
