Chapter 121: Victory or Defeat

Everything is still unknown, but whether it is Xu Ji or Zhang Miao, it is very clear that the other party must have the next move, Zhang Miao is not without worry to be honest, but the advantages in his hands are real, and the response that Xu Ji may make is almost impossible to shake, so the only thing Zhang Miao has to do is to persevere. And Xu Ji naturally couldn't wait.

Early the next morning, Zhang Miao got up from his sleep and got the news that Xu Ji had made a move. And when Zhang Miao climbed the arrow tower and vaguely saw another camp set up in front of Xu Ji's camp, he was quite unimpressed, Xu Ji did this to him inconsequentially, Zhang Miao said that it was impossible to leave the camp, as for Xu Ji's actions can naturally be ignored.

Of course, Xu Ji will definitely send people to fight every day in addition to this action, Zhang Miao is almost used to having such noise in his ears every day, so he doesn't take this matter too seriously, and Zhang Miao is determined to spend so much time with Xu Ji, and nothing else is out of his consideration, and even for this reason, he specially strengthened the fortifications of the big battalion, and his attitude is very clear, that is, it is to delay.

And Xu Ji's reaction is also what Zhang Miao is happy to see, this opponent who makes himself feel extremely tricky does not seem to have any good way to deal with this, this is something that Zhang Miao is very happy about, Xu Ji's lack of reaction means that he does not have to be subject to Xu Ji step by step, in Zhang Miao's opinion, the initiative has gradually come from Xu Ji's hands to his hands, once the situation develops like this, he doesn't even need to do it himself, Xu Ji will collapse by himself. But, how simple will Xu Ji be? Of course, Zhang Miao didn't believe it, and he didn't even have a concept of what Xu Ji wanted to do. Therefore, there are no targeted measures.

But Zhang Miao still didn't dare to take it lightly, Liu Xian and Wei Zhong's bones were not cold. These lessons are alive in front of Zhang Miao, and Xu Ji's ability to take advantage of the void is not a joke. Zhang Miao didn't want his good situation to be ruined, so he ordered the garrison of the battalion to be strengthened.

The expected action did not appear, and Xu Ji still only maintained the status quo for three days, without any action except for the daily routine of fighting, but the more Xu Ji was like this, the more worried he became, Xu Ji was by no means this kind of person who sat still, how could he not see through the situation he was in now? Zhang Miao's uneasiness became more and more intense, although he had been on guard, Xu Ji was a little too calm, this was not good news.

The only thing that worries Zhang Miao is that his morale is getting lower and lower. Even many dissatisfied voices in the battalion pointed directly at Zhang Miao, and the evil consequences brought about by sticking to the battle finally appeared, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and morale was low, but Zhang Miao had no choice, he couldn't tell the soldiers that they could win by dragging them so far, and the soldiers wouldn't believe these at all, not to mention that the soldiers under Xu Ji's command were scolding outside the camp every day, and almost all the ugly ones were scolded for several days. However, the soldiers held back their anger, but Zhang Miao still insisted on refusing to fight, and naturally became dissatisfied over time. The so-called scolding is just him Zhang Miao, but how can this group of guys under Xu Ji who don't keep their mouths good let go of Zhang Miao's soldiers?

And on the third day of Xu Ji's establishment of a small camp, Zhang Miao got Xu Ji's new move. He moved the separate tent forward ten miles, that is, the distance that Zhang Miao could already see. But Zhang Miao still didn't understand what Xu Ji wanted, and this method didn't seem to have any damage to Zhang Miao. The question is, will Xu Ji do these meaningless things? Zhang Miao was the first to not believe it, so the problem came. What exactly is Xu Ji going to do? What was the purpose of his division of troops and his constant advance?

Zhang Miao didn't understand, but that didn't prevent him from insisting on countermeasures. No matter how Xu Ji is, he will never leave the camp, this camp is obviously a trap to lure himself into the bait, and Zhang Miao is not stupid enough to test what this trap contains.

And that's all Xu Ji did, at least in Zhang Miao's opinion. But in reality? Of course, what Xu Ji did would not be just this, he had already arranged all the soldiers in his camp, this was his desperate plan, either Zhang Miao's death was his Xu Ji's desperation.

After Gao Shun's trapped camp had secretly ambushed and separated the camp, Xu Ji was still guarding against Zhang Miao's possible sneak attack on the camp, of course, the role of Gao Shun's department was not only to guard, but also to be the backbone of the last station. And Chen Zhi had already led his cavalry to sneak to the rear of Zhang Miao's camp, the purpose was very simple, to cut off Zhang Miao's back road, but before that, Xu Ji asked Chen Zhi to continue to harass Zhang Miao's grain route on the premise of ensuring that he did not lose money, and Xu Ji's purpose was also very simple, to confuse Zhang Miao.

And Xu Ji himself is actually in the camp that Zhang Miao saw, but Zhang Miao may not know what a crazy layout Xu Ji's plan is, and Xu Ji even put aside his own safety once again to sit in charge personally, what he wants is to show his determination.

Everything is going very well, Xu Ji is not in a hurry, the hunter is calmer when he gets closer to his goal, Xu Ji is the hunter now, although his "prey" is stronger than him, but the reason why the hunter is a hunter is because he has a way to deal with the prey, Xu Ji has found that way, as for the result and success or failure, it is not Xu Ji who can know the way.

Zhang Miao was very annoyed, the reason was very simple, the grain road behind him was unstable again, the cavalry that had disappeared for several days and had a mysterious whereabouts returned, and the already insufficient supplies in his battalion were tight again, but Zhang Miao was not unable to solve it, but such an annoying feeling really made him very unhappy, did Xu Ji's plan to rely on this method to defeat himself? Zhang Miao really wanted to remind Xu Ji that this method could only play a little harassing role, and it was obviously unrealistic to rely on this to defeat him, but Zhang Miao didn't have this opportunity.

At this time, Xu Ji's face in the camp was cold, and the people Huang Jun and Dian Wei who followed behind him, Le Jin had been arranged by Xu Ji to lead the guard battalion that was ambushed on the flank outside the camp, and Xu Ji now had only six remaining guards at hand, and this had to add the nominal commander Dian Wei, but this was not important to Xu Ji, everything was important to the battle situation, and there were only so many soldiers he could use, and every point must be used in key places.

"Junqing. No news from Bonghyo yet? Xu Ji looked back at Dian Wei and asked. Dian Wei looked at Xu Ji's frowning brows and replied, "It's not been a day since the wine sacrifice lord left." The ridicule in his tone couldn't be more obvious. Xu Ji sighed and said, "I'm still a little anxious. Huang Jun on the side smiled and said: "Don't say that the Lord is anxious, I see that the Lord is also anxious." Xu Ji threw a puzzled look at him when he heard this.

Huang Jun saw Xu Ji turn to his right color and said, "When Lord Sacrificial Wine left, his expression was a little hasty. Lord, you see that his folding fan is not still there. Speaking of this, he looked at the folding fan on the case table opposite Xu Ji. This was given to Guo Jia by Xu Ji, and Guo Jia has always felt that this gadget has a very romantic temperament, so he always takes it with him regardless of cold or summer.

Xu Ji smiled after seeing the folding fan and said, "Fengxiao is not in a hurry, he left this just to tell me not to be anxious." Huang Jun, you will go to Yuxian on my behalf and tell Xun You that I need him to be prepared, if I lose, I will take Huiyingyin with me, and if I win, I will appease the people of Yuxian. With that, Xu Ji got up and picked up the folding fan left by Guo Jia from the desk opposite. After opening it, there was a big word "indifferent" written on it, Xu Ji chuckled and shook his head, Guo Jia can be regarded as well-intentioned, but can he do what he explained to him?

What did Xu Ji explain to Guo Jia? Of course, it is not nothing about the battle situation in Yuxian County, the task given to Guo Jia by Xu Ji is very simple, he needs Guo Jia to go to Xiangyi to see Liao Yu for him, and he has to be in the front in person at this time in order to strengthen the army's heart, so this task can only be given to Guo Jia, but Guo Jia's temperament. To be honest, he is not suitable for these things, Xu Ji is very worried that this prodigal son will do something to ruin his plans, but now, there is no way.

Just when Xu Ji was out of his mind. Someone interrupted Xu Ji's thoughts: "Supervise the post." The person who came was called Xu Ji's official position, and there was only one person in Yu County who called Xu Ji that, he looked up and smiled: "Gongming is here." How, is everything done? ”

Not bad. The person who came was Xu Huang, who had not been serving Xu Ji for a long time. The young man scratched his head and said: "The fact that the post supervisor has to be run by his subordinates is a little incomprehensible, but fortunately, the people of Yu County support the post superintendent. So I didn't have any big trouble. ”

Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "It's enough, it's enough to work hard to run the camp and find General Wen Hao for me." When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately left, and what Xu Ji wanted Xu Huang to do was to prepare a sack, these things would naturally be difficult to make for a while, so Xu Ji could only raise it from the hands of the people of Yu County, but fortunately, he was very popular in Yu County, so he did not encounter any big trouble in this matter.

And Xu Ji is finally at ease at this time, now everything is ready, and Zhang Miao has not seen his plan, so Xu Ji's chances of winning have increased by two layers, but no matter how to improve the chances of winning, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Xu Ji does not dare to be a little rash.

Huang Jun had also returned to Yuxian County, and there was only Dian Wei by his side at this time, Xu Ji suddenly felt a little lonely. I haven't had many close friends around me for many years, and now I have a small status, but I have fewer friends around me, and now I don't have anyone to talk to in this situation.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he missed Yining a little. And Dian Wei saw that Xu Ji was so worried that his master was worried about the battle situation, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Why should the lord worry? Everything is as expected by the lord, and presumably everything will be fine. Xu Ji just shook his head when he heard the words but didn't answer, Dian Wei naturally didn't know what Xu Ji meant by shaking his head that he was sighing was not about this matter, but Dian Wei still didn't speak, his own lord was quite impermanent, he had never seen him angry on weekdays, but such a person was really angry, I was afraid that it would be more terrible, Dian Wei didn't want Xu Ji to lose his mind at this time.

On the second day, Xu Ji moved his camp forward ten miles again, he was only ten miles away from Zhang Miao's camp, and both sides could even see the actions of the other party's soldiers in the camp, and Zhang Miao finally realized what Xu Ji wanted to do at this time, this guy wanted to humiliate himself, since ancient times, there has been no such behavior of daring to go down ten miles in front of the other party's camp, this is tantamount to directly slapping Zhang Miao's face, and this Zhang Miao was originally able to stop it, but now it is impossible to stop it, Even if he can be expelled, Zhang Miao has already been slapped in the face, and this face cannot be recovered, Xu Ji is afraid that Zhang Miao will definitely not go out of the camp to fight. From this point of view, Zhang Miao can be regarded as a cocoon and self-restraint, so Zhang Miao, who ate such a dish, really had no temper and could only break his teeth and swallow it himself.

But Zhang Miao then faced another thing. The soldiers in the battalion are almost about to riot, and even a person with a bit of a temper can't bear to slap you in the face right under your nose. What's more, Xu Ji is not under his nose, he is almost on Zhang Miao's head. Zhang Miao can endure it, but these soldiers don't have this qi cultivation kung fu, Zhang Miao has been doing what they have been doing has made them very dissatisfied, and this time Zhang Miao brought not all the soldiers in Yuan County are his direct line, many of them are the family of Bei Chenliu to support him, these guys have always been unbearable this kind of anger, and immediately someone found Zhang Miao and said that he would lead his troops out of the camp to face the battle, Zhang Miao said that it was not easy to press the temper of these people.

But Zhang Miao himself knows it very well. I can suppress it for a while, but I may not be able to suppress it for too long, these guys may go out of the camp privately, compared to this pure death-seeking behavior, Zhang Miao really decided to attack once, but it must be led by him. It is impossible for him to let Xu Ji treat himself like nothing, and no matter what the result of this attack is, he will not suffer too much loss, after all, ten miles away is actually the matter in front of him, Xu Ji can't have any too fatal arrangements, and the most critical point of his attack is to combat Xu Ji's arrogance. Of course, Zhang Miao is not a clay figure, not to mention that even if he is a clay figure, he still has three points of fire. Xu Ji's deceptive behavior deeply provoked Zhang Miao, and he had to react somewhat.

Of course, the attack is the attack, Zhang Miao still needs to think about it, Xu Ji left too deep an impression on him. It is difficult to say that there are no ambushes and traps in this current situation, although Zhang Miao is a little angry, but he has not yet lost his mind, he is still worried about whether Xu Ji will have any traps. But no matter what, the morale and military spirit in his own battalion will really be unable to suppress if he doesn't make any moves, which is also Zhang Miao's helplessness.

And what Zhang Miao didn't know was that night. The soldiers under Xu Ji's command once again moved, and this was Xu Ji's real intention. Of course, Xu Ji's plans will not be exposed at this time. Xu Ji's plan is very simple, he wants to give Zhang Miao a little sweetness first, in other words, he wants to give Zhang Miao a flaw first, once Zhang Miao thinks that this is Xu Ji's weakness, Xu Ji will only make a killer when Zhang Miao is a little contemptuous, which is also what Xu Ji is best at, and it is simply familiar to Xu Ji.

However, there are still prerequisites for these, and Xu Ji has long been prepared for the inevitable loss of a considerable situation, but in order to win, these costs are also worth it. As for Zhang Miao's reaction, it doesn't matter to Xu Ji now, even if Zhang Miao still chooses to stick to his camp, it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't get involved in this trap laid by Xu Ji, these can't change everything he will face. Xu Ji will not leave his opponent with any chance, not even at all.

It was a long night, Xu Ji was busy arranging the arrangement of his subordinates, but Zhang Miao also couldn't sleep for a long time. And the reason why Zhang Miao can't sleep peacefully is very simple, it is the purpose of Xu Ji, who is only more than ten miles away from him. Since Zhang Miao became Chen Liu's appointment as Taishou, there has been no more frightening than this time, and this uneasiness has never been stronger, but Zhang Miao doesn't know where this feeling comes from, everything seems to be nothing wrong, but there is this lingering shadow in his heart.

Zhang Miao, who had not slept all night, got up and freshened up when the first morning light was brightened, the worry in his heart did not disappear, but today's battle is already inevitable, and Zhang Miao does not plan to hide anymore, Xu Ji's intention is obviously to force himself to face him head-on, Zhang Miao's plan naturally has not changed, but the morale of his army and the stability of the army's heart cannot be ignored, even if Zhang Miao loses this battle today, he will not care too much, because this is far from hurting his muscles and bones, And what Xu Ji's purpose is, you can find out for yourself.

But will it all be that simple? Will Xu Ji deal with these things so easily? Zhang Miao himself didn't know what to do, but now he had to gamble, Xu Ji had forced himself to this point, everything was up to Zhang Miao's choice, and Zhang Miao, who originally thought he had taken the initiative, had to admit that everything was still under Xu Ji's control, although this was a very unhappy thing for Zhang Miao, but he couldn't accept it.

The victory or defeat is still unknown, Zhang Miao still does not think that Xu Ji has a way to make up for the gap between the two sides, although Xu Ji's true intentions Zhang Miao has no way to know, but Zhang Miao knows that Xu Ji's situation will not be too good, since he forced himself to face him head-on, then Xu Ji has something to rely on, but after entering the battlefield, he will take the initiative, the reason is also very simple, Zhang Miao can choose to fight or not to fight, but Xu Ji has no such choice, The significance of his camp ten miles away from Zhang Miao's camp was nothing more than forcing Zhang Miao to go out of the camp to fight, but Zhang Miao could choose not to compete with him with all his might.

It is precisely because of this grasp that despite the uneasiness in his heart, Zhang Miao still chose to go out of the camp to fight.

It's just that for Xu Ji, victory or defeat is also unknown, but once Zhang Miao sets foot in the trap he set, then Zhang Miao's defeat is already doomed.

Because of Xu Ji, he has worked hard! (To be continued......)
