"Brother Ba, do you know where the enemy army is retreating from?" Xiahou Shang handed the map to Xiahou Ba.

"Brother Shang, where do you say this army will be?"

"It must be the enemy of the north, either Liu Bei's people or Yuan Xi's people," Xiahou Shang pointed to the two places of the plain and Yecheng.

"Not bad, Brother Shang! It must be the army of these two people, but there is no unusual information about our army's Qingzhou defense line and the defense line around Guandu Hanoi, why do you think this army is here? Xiahou Ba smiled slightly, he had already thought of the retreat of this army.

"Brother means Brother Rui's Fan County area?"

"Yes, Rui Ge Fan County is between Qingzhou and Guandu, and the Chenggao Chishen is the forefront of our army to resist Yuan Xi, and it is because of this that Yuan Xi and Liu Bei sent troops from Qingzhou and Hanoi on both sides of Fan County. Although Fan County is under the control of our army, Brother Shang should not forget that Fan County has a vast territory and cannot be crossed by a large army, but small-scale raiders can bypass Fan County. Xiahou Ba pointed to a small mountain on the map: Tianji Ridge!

"The younger brother understands, the elder brother means that it is possible for this army to come out of here, bypassing the defenses on the left and right sides of our army, and now our cavalry can surround them."

"Yes, Brother Shang, our cavalry can rush here in an hour, we have three days' dry food, as long as this army does not appear within three days, we will return to Xudu." Xiahou Ba glanced at Xiahou Shang and showed a smug smile.

"Just according to my brother's words!"

"Okay, let's go!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang went straight to Tianji Ridge with 5,000 cavalry.

Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang relied on the speed of cavalry, and they arrived near Tianji Ridge in one hour. Xiahou Ba let the army be stationed on the spot. At the same time, soldiers were sent to pretend to be farmers to spy on information. Soon the spies came back to report. In front of him was a group of hundreds of soldiers fighting the Cao army of Fan County. It is said to be a patrol in Van County.

"It's this patrol, this is sure that the enemy will stay behind the army, Brother Shang, let's touch it, kill them all, and then continue to ambush here, and then spread spies to capture the enemy army." Xiahou Ba clenched his right hand into the palm of his left hand, very excited. Finally found it.

"No! Brother. ”

Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang led the army to quickly kill the soldiers left by Pang Tong in Tianjiling, and then sent a deputy general with five hundred soldiers to place all the horses in a small county town a hundred miles away, and the rest of the soldiers were ambushed in Tianjiling with the two.

Pang Tong escaped the first pursuit of the Xiahou brothers, and did not return directly to Tianji Ridge, but rested for a day in a mountain forest north of Taimiao, and returned to Tianji Ridge after gathering some stragglers.

"Strategist, you are really a god, as long as I cross the small mountain in front of me is the territory of Fan County, and then we can return to Hebei as long as we meet with the main prince. Cao Jun was so engaged by us this time, he would definitely not be able to go on the Northern Expedition. The soldiers followed behind Pang Tong and excitedly told Pang Tong's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

According to the information inquired by this personal guard. Cao Jun's granary lost hundreds of thousands of stone of grain and grass and baggage, which were the grain and grass that supported the army of more than 200,000 people for four or five years. After this battle, Cao's army must have been short of grain and grass, and even if it takes time to transport grain from all over the country, the crisis in Hebei has been solved.

"Hmph, as far as you can speak, this military division plans seven points by wisdom, and three points by luck. This division has always been lucky. Pang Tong rode on the horse, in a happy mood, this time he finally made a great contribution, with this credit, he can really be on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang in Liu Beijun.

"The military advisor is wise, and Cao Jun's plans are all in the applause of the military advisor." The soldiers complimented Pang Tong with a smile, and after a while, the two of them arrived at Tianji Ridge.

"Wait, why aren't there any sergeants here?" Pang Tong came to the bottom of Tianji Ridge, looked around, surprisingly quiet, why didn't he see one of the hundreds of people left behind by his arrangement here?

"Military division, you may have met Cao Jun's patrol, they all entered the mountains?" The soldiers looked around, and they didn't feel inappropriate, they all went deep into the enemy's hinterland, and they must be low-key, and it is not a big problem not to arrange people here.

"Rest assured, if an enemy discovers our people, someone will definitely be able to escape and report the news."

"What's this place called?" Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

"This place is called Tianji Ridge!"

"Tianji Ridge? Why didn't you say it earlier! Pang Tong suddenly roared.

"This?" The soldiers were stunned for a moment, why was Pang Tong so discolored.

"Tianji Ridge? Heavenly Machine? How can mortals penetrate the heavens? Defeated, lost, my life is here today! Pang Tong suddenly laughed wildly, he finally knew why he had that kind of premonition, sometimes people's premonitions are very accurate, it's over, he really died young.

With a whoosh, a cold arrow flew out and directly inserted into Pang Tong's heart.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang rushed out with the ambushed sergeants.

Pang Tong on the horse smiled slightly, it was finally over, he was finally dead, and it was so worthless to die!

Pang Tong's sergeants couldn't stop the elite of Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang at all, and soon the two of them killed all of Pang Tong's army.

"Brother Ba, this is the main general of the enemy army? A man of letters? ”

Xiahou Ba looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, this seemed to be the leader of the rout who had talked to him a few days ago.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who he is, bring him back to Xu Du and find out his identity!" Xiahou Ba kicked Pang Tong, and then ordered someone to clean up the battlefield.

Three days later, Lu Rui received the battle report of Xiahou Ba and Cao Chong on the front line in Qingzhou, and looking at the battle report, Lu Rui was worried.

Xu Du's stock was actually destroyed by Pang Tong with his army, and Liu Xie's poisoning was not out of danger.

Liu Xie's life and death Lu Rui will not care, but the military food is needed by the three armies, and the grain storage of Xu Du has been destroyed, and the Northern Expedition will definitely be withdrawn, because now the Cao army is fighting on two fronts, in addition to the army in Hebei and Cao Cao's army in Xiliang. Now the military rations under the rule of Cao Jun are probably only enough to continue the war with a large army.

"Extraordinary, it seems that we are going to retreat, how can we march when there is no food and grass?" Xiahoudun threw away the information. It seems that not only Cao Chong and Cao Ren are going to retreat. His 50,000-strong army is also about to retire. Otherwise, there was no food and grass to arrive, and the soldiers would not be hungry, and the only way now was to transfer the army to a place where food could be eaten.

"Uncle, what Rui is worried about is not the withdrawal of the army, but Cangshu's battle report!" The news of Cao Chong's battle report was what worried Lu Rui the most.

Cao Chong's battle report shows that Cao Chong and Zhuge Liang confronted each other under the plain city, Zhuge Liang laid a lot of strange arrays, Cao Chong cracked them one by one, and Cao Chong cracked more and more vigorously, and Zhuge Liang won and lost each other under the plain city. It's a lot of fun.

"Extraordinary, Cangshu did not suffer a loss under the Plains City, and he also played against Zhuge Liang in a formation. Cangshu did not suffer a loss, Pingyuan City was already in Cangshu's bag. Xiahoudun looked at Cao Chong's battle table and didn't feel that there was any problem.

"Although there are only more than 10,000 defenders in the plain, these are Liu Bei's elite troops, and Zhuge Liang is stuck in the plain, and there is nowhere to defend everywhere, but he has ordered countless formations to contain Cangshu, but I didn't expect Cangshu to fall for such a scheme!" If Lu Rui met Cao Chong, he would definitely slap Cao Chong's ass fiercely. Cao Chong's greed has already risen, if he doesn't see through this. I'm afraid it will fall into Zhuge Liang's plan.

"Medium? Extraordinary, why didn't I see Cangshu's plan? If this continues, I don't believe that Zhuge Liang's Plains City will last long. Xiahoudun touched his head, and he really didn't see any signs of tricks.

"Greed, Cangshu is greedy, the general is the most taboo with an impure heart, and he has distracting thoughts, how can he lead the army well?" Lu Rui shook his head, it seems that he is going to the plain, mention Cao Chong, otherwise it will be too late, I am afraid that something big will happen.

Zhuge Liang is the best at the technique of Qimen Dunjia, Cao Chong must have never seen Zhuge Liang's technique of Dunjia so he became curious, and wanted to crack Zhuge Liang's formation. But Cao Chong had unwittingly entered Zhuge Liang's deployment, and Cao Chongkong had 30,000 cavalry, but he was only fighting under the plain city.

This is not what Lu Rui is most worried about, if it is just a battle for Lu Rui, I believe that Cao Chong will not lose, but if Zhuge Liang makes some demonic moths, Lu Rui will not dare to guarantee it, which battle in Bowangpo will make Lu Rui's heart palpitate, Zhuge Liang will use ancient biochemical warfare, Zhou Yu will use metal with a low ignition point, I don't know what amazing things will appear in the plain.

"Greed? Although my uncle didn't know what Bu Fan said, my uncle felt that it was a taboo for Cang Shu to break the formation and not attack the city, and he wanted to go to the front line to see? "Xiahoudun has also led the army for many years, from a reckless man to a brave and resourceful general, if according to Xiahoudun's view, there is an advantage in troops, why not directly attack the city, but also break the formation so grinding.

"What my uncle said is very true, Rui decided to lead three thousand cavalry across the Yellow River and go to the plains, and Liu Bei here doesn't have to worry about it, anyway, Liu Bei can't break through our defense line, and my uncle is still ready to take Cangshu as the top." Seeing that Cao Chong was in danger, Lu Rui immediately decided to give up Liu Bei and rush to the plains to support Cao Chong.

"Okay, don't worry, this place will be handed over to my uncle."

In the Plains City, Zhuge Liang looked at the map with a worried face. Half of Liu Bei's army in Fan County had already crossed the Yellow River, but I don't know where Cao Chong got the news and actually sent cavalry to defeat Liu Bei's army, and the rout retreated to the plain, which surprised Zhuge Liang, Cao Chong was really a difficult master.

Cao Chong's cavalry drove Liu Bei's rout back to Plain City, and Cao Chong continued to fight Zhuge Liang.

"Husband, don't you rest late at night?" Huang came to Zhuge Liang with tea.

"Ma'am? Weifu is researching a new formation, if Cao Chong loses interest in the formation, Pingyuan City will be in danger. Zhuge Liang pinched his forehead Cao Chong is too demonic, he has painstakingly studied the formation for many years, and he was actually broken by Cao Chong every day, and now his formation has no inventory, if Cao Chong loses interest, he will definitely attack Pingyuan City in a big way, the time has not come, and Cao Chong must not be allowed to attack the city.

"Husband, you are so tired, you actually forgot that Cao Chong has fallen into the formation, and it is difficult for people's curiosity to come out." Huang Yueying smiled slightly and patted Zhuge Liang.

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Husband, Cao Chong is talented and smart. The time for your formation to be broken is getting shorter and shorter, why should you think of a new formation? The concubine heard that her husband had calculated that it would be the best time after half a month, why didn't her husband deceive Cao Chong, saying that she had a big formation and needed to arrange half a month? ”

"Hahahaha, Mrs. is really smart, if she is a man, she is ashamed of her husband. Madame's plan is very good, and Liang already has a countermeasure. Zhuge Liang hugged Huang Yueying into his arms, looked at the formation on the table, and smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
