"Huh! I see. Hearing Dong He's words, Wang Xu couldn't help but nod approvingly, looked at the big boy who was a little shy, and said with a smile: "Yang Ling, it seems that you are indeed talented, work hard in the future, study more, exercise more, and strive for meritorious service, I will pay attention to you from time to time." As long as you are good enough, I will transfer you to the position of the Blue Dragon Knight. ”

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, in the army, the Blue Dragon Knight has become a symbol and an honor. It can be said that the commander of the Qinglong Knights, who commands a hundred people, has a status comparable to that of a military marquis who commands five hundred people in an ordinary army, and his treatment is not far behind, not to mention the local security soldiers he is currently serving in, which is not a grade at all.

In an instant, his young face showed excitement, and both knees were already on the ground, kowtowing to Wang Xu and Dong He successively. "Thank you, General Wang! Thank you, General! ”

As soon as he said this, all the generals showed a kind smile, and their hearts were faintly touched.

However, Wang Xu looked at Dong He, who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but laugh: "Yang Ling, this is not a general, it is Cao Peng, a soldier of the General's Mansion." Don't be mistaken, your promotion will go through his hands. ”

Yang Ling didn't notice Wang Xu's narrow smile, and the moment he heard this, his delicate face was already red, and he hurriedly turned around and apologized: "I'm sorry!" The subordinates don't know! I also hope that Dong Cao Peng will forgive his sins! ”

"Hehe, it's okay, those who don't know are not guilty!" Of course, Dong He couldn't care about such a trivial matter, so he immediately smiled and waved his hand.

However, Wang Xu didn't want to make any more trouble, smiled, and turned back to the topic: "That's right, Yang Ling!" This time, the king mastiff asked you to come quickly, but what is the matter? ”

Yang Ling was asked like this, but he quickly came back to his senses, and his face immediately showed a hint of joy, and he said urgently: "General Hui, after nightfall yesterday, General Gao Shun personally led the crowd to raid the enemy camp. broke the camp of the two brothers Huo Du and Huo Jun. General Zhang Jing beheaded the former Huarong County Order. Liu Biaoxiao will be Bei Yu, and he will be terrifying. And with the help of the power of the victory, Cai Mao's army was forced to retreat ten miles to the village, and the siege of Hanshou County was lifted, and Wang Taishou asked his subordinates to come to report to the general overnight. ”

"A good Gao Shun, a good Zhang Jing, it lives up to my expectations." Hearing the news, Wang Xu was really happy. Everyone in the hall also smiled. Today, the middle road is robbed by thousands of cavalry, and the left road is built again, and the passive situation in Jingnan will soon be improved, and the sharp spirit of Liu Biao's side will also be severely attacked.

However, everyone was not happy enough, but Yang Ling said again very inappropriately: "But." Wang Taishou also asked his subordinates to bring a piece of news for the general to decide! ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

"Actually, the subordinates are also very puzzled, Wang Taishou just asked his subordinates to tell each other."

Wang Xu frowned, and immediately waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to say it!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Ling did not hesitate any longer, and immediately slowly opened his mouth to say the original words of Wang Mastiff: "Report to the lord, General Gao has a great victory tonight, and the whole army is very happy!" But when Zhang Jing chased and killed Bei Yu to the mountain stream. I suddenly found a little fire in the mountains in the distance. I was very confused! After his subordinates consulted with the two generals, Gao and Zhang, they found that the direction in which Bei Yu fled was not the enemy's place at all. We all know the location of the enemy's battalions, but we don't know where they came from. We thought that the soldiers and horses on this road were far from what we initially expected, and there might be other soldiers and horses here, so Bei Yu was in a panic, so he chose to flee with his own troops nearby. It can be seen that the deployment of Liu Biao's army is not what he originally thought, and he hopes that the lord will be cautious in the future! ”

After speaking, Yang Ling looked at Wang Xu, who was surprised, and couldn't help but continue: "General, because I was worried that the letter would be intercepted by the other party, Wang Taishou asked his subordinates to keep it in mind, and once there was an accident, it would disappear with it." ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but look at Yang Ling with relief, since Wang Mastiff could hand over such an important matter to Yang Ling, it seems that this Yang Ling is really a trustworthy person.

However, the next thing to be discussed was not what he should listen to after all, so he smiled and said gently: "Okay, I understand." If you're tired from your journey, go down and rest first, and the guards outside the door will take you to the resting place. ”

"Thank you, General!" Yang Ling smiled, didn't say more, saluted everyone in the hall, and slowly withdrew.

Seeing this, Wang Xu turned his head, turned his head to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think is going on?" Where did that extra fire come from? ”

"Could it be that Liu Biao disappeared from the more than 20,000 soldiers?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but excuse himself at first.

"Possibly!" Bing Cao Peng and Dong He also nodded in agreement.

"But how did they get there?" Zhao Yun was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but interject: "Think about it, the southern passage must pass through Baqiu or our Xiajun, what method does he use to bypass under our noses?" The other party has never used any means of confusion, and he flew over so inexplicably? Therefore, it is inevitable to go north through the Yangtze River, or return to Jingbei to bypass, but it is a few days away from Hanshou, and there are 20,000 troops, how can it be possible to rush over? ”

Guo Jia, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed a little smile at this moment, his deep gaze slowly swept over the people in the hall, and he shook his head and said: "It is impossible to detour from Jingbei, it makes no sense, and it is impossible to hide it at all." At present, spies from all sides are staring so closely, who doesn't know that he has made such a big move with 20,000 people? ”

"Why is that?" Wang Xu said suspiciously.

"Hey! Lord! We were scammed! And it was deceived from the beginning. Guo Jia sighed leisurely and said.

Hearing this, Wang Xu's head was running rapidly, and after a while, he suddenly realized, and suddenly exclaimed: "You mean, from the beginning, the other party's 50,000 troops in the middle are simply fake!" There were less than 30,000 people, and he used the same method as us, hoping to seek a breakthrough from the flank, and he chose Wuling! ”

"Not bad!" Guo Jia nodded affirmatively, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "This is more cunning, knowing that we were not prepared at the beginning, and the intelligence was wrong, so we seized the opportunity to carry out this plan." It is intended to contain our main force with the men and horses in the middle, and then seek a breakthrough in Wuling County on the left flank. Only in this way can a qiē make sense, otherwise the 20,000 people disappeared inexplicably, which is really weird. It's just that he probably didn't expect that we would use the same method. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other, no one expected that such a thing would happen, and the two parties went together. Wang Xu smiled even more bitterly, I really don't know what to say, is it the benevolent and the benevolent, or the wise?

He sighed silently in his heart before he asked, "But what should I do now?" Although both sides used the same methods, the other side was the attacker, and we were the defender, and no matter how we fought, we would suffer more losses. Even if Yuzhang wins a big victory, the loss of Wuling will be unbearable for us. ”

"Not necessarily!" Guo Jia's face at the moment showed a rare sense of indignation, obviously a little annoyed with Kuai Yue and the others as he thought. "Lord, since the shape has developed into this appearance, the success or failure is no longer on Yuzhang's side, but in our middle road."

"Mid lane?"

"Yes!" Guo Jia said affirmatively: "How to fight on Yuzhang's side, the lord can inform General Xu, General Zhou and Yuan Hao, and let them try to fight as quickly as possible." Although it is not decisive, if it is better to break through than the enemy army at Wuling, it will also be beneficial to the final victory. As for the Wuling on the left, it should be sent back immediately, so that General Gao Shun and they are extremely important to defend, the longer they hold on, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the entire battle situation. And in the middle of the road, we should immediately fight a decisive battle with Liu Biaojun. We can't afford to drag it out, and if we drag it out, no matter how we fight, we will lose even more! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this analysis, Wang Xu couldn't help but nodded, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Now our advantage is that we know the truth before the other party, but if the middle route army starts a decisive battle, I am afraid that the other party will also know our deployment, presumably the Wuling side will definitely exert pressure regardless of it!" ”

"My lord, even so, this advantage is of no great use to us." Guo Jia thought that Wang Xu was unwilling to fight, so he persuaded him loudly: "Whether the other party knows it or not, the shape has already been formed, so there is no point in anything!" The situation on Wuling's side, although Cai Mao, Wu Ju and others were defeated for a while, they definitely had other plans. We can't calculate what they think, we can only seek a breakthrough from the middle and change from passive to active. The battle situation on the left and right can only depend on the ability of the generals from all walks of life, while he is pressing, Yuzhang's side, we are also pressuring! In short, the outcome of this war is who makes a breakthrough in the middle first, so as to deal with both ways. Of course, the more important thing is whether Cai Mao and Wu Ju's spears are sharper, or the shields of generals such as Gao Shun, Zhang Jing, and Wang Mastiff are stronger. ”

"Hey! That's all there is to it. In fact, Wang Xu didn't know this, but he was just a little worried.

But he is not a person who grinds, since there is no way, it is useless to think about it, he can only choose to believe in them, believe in these historical generals, although they are still young, they should not let themselves down. (To be continued.) )
