After Deng Qiang's army left, Wang San looked at Hua'an and said softly: "Your Majesty, General Deng's 30,000 horses and horses are going to the south bank of the water, and they will be surrounded by more than 200,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom. Once Murong Ping, Pu Jian, and Murong Ke on the north bank of the river launched an attack at the same time, General Deng's 30,000 horses would be in danger. ”

Hua An nodded, and said: "You are right, General Deng's 30,000 horses and horses entered the south bank of Rongshui, and they were indeed surrounded by more than 200,000 troops of Yan State, but Murong Ke's 100,000 cavalry was on the north bank of Rongshui, and could not directly pose a threat to General Deng's men and horses. We will definitely not risk attacking our army, and the main infantry and charioteers of our army can arrive in half a day, so the soldiers and horses under General Deng's command seem to be sinister, but in fact they are dangerous, so you don't have to worry too much. After speaking, he looked at Wang San and other generals.

When Zhuge Xiong heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Murong Ping led the army of his department to shrink Lukou City, but let the tens of thousands of horses under Pu Jian's command be stationed outside the city, such an arrangement will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of Pu Jian and the generals under his command. ”

When Hua An heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he suddenly came up with a plan in his heart, and said softly: "Although Pu Jian has been attached to Yan State, the monarchs and ministers of Yan State do not trust Pu Jian very much, so this is the situation. Our army will certainly succeed if it uses a slight counter-strategy. ”

Subsequently, Hua An and his subordinates studied the counter-strategy against Pu Jian together, and decided to start implementing it immediately to ensure that Pu Jian's army would not raid the Deng Qiang army, so as to reduce the pressure on the Deng Qiang army.

"Your Majesty, let the last general personally go to Pu Jian's camp and persuade Pu Jian to join him!" Zhuge Xiong shouted for his life.

Hearing this, Hua An shook his head. Objected: "No. You are a confidant general under the command of this king, how can you risk your life, if Pu Jian is loyal to Yan Guo, the general will not be in danger of his life. Or send a small colonel to go. It's relatively safe. ”

Zhuge Xiong hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty." Let the Admiral go in person! If a junior colonel is sent there, it will not attract Murong Ping's attention at all, and our army's counter-strategy will be greatly reduced. The last general is not afraid of death, so the king will be the last general! ”

Seeing that Zhuge Xiong strongly requested to go to the Pu Jianjun camp in person, Hua An nodded in agreement, and said with a straight face: "General Zhuge , you must be careful, this king is waiting for you to come back." ”

"The king can rest assured, the last general will be fortunate not to disgrace his life." Zhuge Xiong responded with a fist clenched, and then his whole body was draped, leading five or six personal soldiers to escort him, and ran in the direction of Pu Jianjun's camp.

After Zhuge Xiong rode his horse and left, Hua An's heart was still very worried, after all, Zhuge Xiong was his henchman general, in case of an accident, it would be a huge blow to the Hua'an army, and once Pu Jian decided to join Yan Guo wholeheartedly, in order to clear up his suspicion of private meeting with the general of Jin State, he would definitely kill Zhuge Xiong, of course, Hua An still believed that Pu Jian would not really belong to Yan Guo, for this reason, the probability of Zhuge Xiong successfully completing the task is still very large.

On the north bank of the river, Murong Ke and his 100,000 main army have been assembled and are ready to cross the river to reinforce Lukou City at any time.

Because the sky was very dark at night, the army under Murong Ke lit hundreds of bonfires on the north bank of the flood, and thousands of soldiers began to build pontoon bridges under the light of the fire.

"Fourth brother, I really didn't expect that our army of more than 100,000 horses couldn't hold Zhangshui, and was defeated by tens of thousands of horses of the Jin army." On a high ground on the shore, Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said helplessly.

Murong Ke smiled slightly, and said with a straight face: "It must be that Uncle Ping is too light on the enemy, and the Jin army is not as terrible as you think." ”

Murong Ba nodded and said: "I hope that as the fourth brother said, our army will cross the river tonight, and tomorrow afternoon it will all be able to cross the water, so that our army's more than 200,000 troops will have to fight a decisive battle with the same men and horses as the Jin army, with the strength of our army, will we definitely be able to achieve victory?" Obviously, Murong Ba was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! Our army has 50,000 iron rope cavalry, which is extremely powerful, and it is not something that the Jin army can resist. Murong Ke comforted.

"Fourth brother, I heard that the Jin army has formed a chariot force with a scale of 40,000 horses, with a total of 10,000 chariots, and its strength cannot be underestimated!" Murong Ba said worriedly.

Murong Ke nodded and said: "The charioteers of the Jin army are indeed very powerful, but the chariots are slow to move, and the mobilization is not very flexible, our army's iron cavalry can completely detour from both wings, with the advantage of speed, surround the elite charioteers of the Jin army, and launch a fierce attack, the iron cavalry and the charioteers, who is better, I am also very curious!" After speaking, he smiled slightly, and seemed to be full of confidence in the iron cavalry under his command.

In fact, in Murong Ke's heart, the charioteers have long been eliminated, after all, these bulky guys were the main force on the battlefield during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and now, the cavalry is the backbone of the entire battlefield.

"Report, general, the main cavalry of the Jin army has been found on the other side of the water." Just when Murong Ke was chatting with Murong Ba, the news came that the main force of the Jin army had arrived on the south bank of the water.

Murong Ke was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said loudly: "The main cavalry of the Jin army has arrived on the south bank, how is this possible, what is the situation in Lukou City?" ”

"Back to the general, the villain doesn't know." The soldier replied with a fist clenched.

Murong Ba was also shocked when he heard this, and looked at Murong Ke and said loudly: "Fourth brother, Lukou City will not be lost!" How could the Jin army advance so quickly. ”

Murong Ke shook his head, calmed down slightly, and then said, "Immediately send scouts to the other side to check the situation, quickly." ”

Soon, more than a dozen scouts immediately drove the small boat to the south bank of the water.

In Lukou City, Murong Ping has always been very worried in his heart, and a fiasco on the north bank of Zhangshui made him have a great fear of the Jin army.

"How? Has the main force of our army of 100,000 already crossed the river? Seeing that the henchman sent to the north gate walked into the big tent, Murong Ping hurriedly asked.

The henchman junior colonel clasped his fists and replied: "General, the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin army has entered the south bank of the water, and the main force of our army is afraid that it will be difficult to cross the river to reinforce Lukou." ”

Murong Ping was shocked when he heard this, and said loudly: "The Jin army divided 30,000 troops to arrive on the south bank of Rongshui, so wouldn't Lukou City be surrounded?" ”

"General, the Jin army divided its troops to control the south bank of the water, blocking the passage of our army's main force to reinforce Lukou, our army must immediately attack and defeat the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin army, so that the main force of our army can calmly reinforce Lukou." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

Murong Ping thought for a moment, frowned and said: "The main force of the Jin army is gradually approaching Lukou City, if our army divides its troops to attack the Jin cavalry on the south bank of the water, Lukou City will be at risk of being lost!" Obviously, Murong Ping was scared by the Jin army, and he had not yet come out of the shadow of the defeat on the north bank of Zhangshui.

"General, General Pu's tens of thousands of horses are just outside the east gate, so he can immediately lead all his men and horses to attack the Jin cavalry on the north bank of the water." One of the generals said loudly.

When Murong Ping heard this, he nodded, and said loudly: "Okay, immediately send an order, let General Pu personally lead tens of thousands of troops under his command to attack the cavalry of the Jin army on the north bank of the water." ”

"Yes, General." A henchman colonel, clenched his fists and shouted for his life.

Murong Ping let the army under Pu Jian's command go to attack the Deng Qiang army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only solve the crisis on the south bank of the water, but also prevent the army under his own command from losses.

###

In the camp of Pu Jian's army outside the east gate of Lukou City, Pu Jian was thinking about the retreat of his army, after all, at this time, Murong Ke's main army had not yet been reinforced, and the 200,000 main force of the Jin army was approaching in an instant, and he didn't want to lose all the tens of thousands of horses and horses in his department.

"Report, general, Jin army general Zhuge Xiong, ask to see you outside the camp." Just when Pu Jian was sad, the news came that Zhuge Xiong, the general of the Jin army, wanted to see him.

When Pu Jian heard this, he was shocked, paused, looked at the generals in the big tent, and said softly: "Zhuge Xiong is a confidant general under Hua'an, but now he has come to visit in person, what do you say, what is his purpose?" ”

"Third brother, it goes without saying, he must have come to persuade him to surrender." Pu Xiong said without thinking.

"General, this is just an opportunity, now that the Yan Kingdom is already weak, it is better for our army to defect to the Jin State again, so as not to be criticized by Murong." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

"General, no matter what Zhuge Xiong's purpose is, we will know when we see each other." Another general said loudly.

When Pu Jian heard this, he fell into deep thought, Zhuge Xiong's identity is not ordinary, as long as he sees Zhuge Xiong at this moment, it means that he has in-depth contact with the Jin army, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Yan Guo, but if Zhuge Xiong is not seen, or even kill Zhuge Xiong, it will definitely offend Hua'an greatly, so that with the tens of thousands of horses under his command, I am afraid that he will suffer a catastrophe, for this reason, Pu Jian hesitated.

"Third brother, at this moment, Zhuge Xiong, the general of the Jin Kingdom, is outside the camp, do you see it or not, but say something!" Pu Xiong said loudly, with a slight element of dissatisfaction in his words.

Pu Jian carefully analyzed the strength of Yan Guo and Hua'an, paused, and said softly: "Fourth brother, you immediately go outside the gate to welcome the Jin general Zhuge Xiong into the tent." After speaking, he motioned for Pu Xiong to go immediately.

When Pu Xiong heard this, he turned around and strode away from the big tent of the Chinese army, and immediately went to meet Zhuge Xiong, the general of the Jin State, and Pu Jian's third son, Pu Sheng, also followed.

Outside the gate of Pu Jianjun's camp, Zhuge Xiong had been waiting for more than a moment, and seeing that Pu Jian still hadn't invited him, he couldn't help but become anxious. (To be continued......)
