The hustle and bustle of the battlefield slowly subsided, Zhang He slowly rubbed his fingers, and said softly: "Collect the troops!" ”

The herald was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he hadn't heard Zhang He's words clearly, why did he withdraw his troops before the battle reached noon, and the battle ended too quickly, right? But seeing that Zhang He had no intention of changing it again, he knew that he had heard it correctly, so he hurriedly passed the order out.

The slow sound of war drums echoed over the battlefield, and Tian Fu, who was directing the siege in front of the battle, was stunned for a while, but he did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately arranged to retreat. He personally retreated from the battlefield and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Ding Feng, who was killing hard, looked at the Wei army that was slowly moving away, and was stunned.

Zhou Yin at the head of the city frowned, his hands were clenched into fists, propped up on the battlements, and his face was a little ugly. After a long time, he sighed: "Alas, after a long battle, I became a demon, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me!" ”

"What do you mean by fighting for a long time?" When Ding Feng returned to the city and listened to Zhou Yin say this sentence again, he asked curiously.

"This is what my mother told me, saying that my father used to say it back then." Zhou Yin smiled bitterly, rubbed his brows and said: "It is said that some generals have been fighting for a long time, and they have a demonic aura, and they can sense danger from the clues that ordinary people can't feel. At that point, no one could hurt him, except that the other party's Taoism was higher than him. ”

Ding Feng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "This is not a demon, I heard the young master say that this is called the sixth sense, the sixth sense other than the five senses." ”

"Sixth sense?" This time it was Zhou Yin's turn to be curious.

Ding Feng said what he heard from Wei Ba, and Zuihou said, "The young master said. The sixth sense is actually not magical, there is a Buddha in the West, which is what we call Futu, they say that there is a seventh sense, an eighth sense or something, but very few people can do it. Meditation is beneficial for the development of these functions. ”

Zhou Yin suddenly came to his senses. "Sit-down? Can you have such kung fu by sitting and sitting? Does the young master often meditate, so he can be so divine? ”

"It's as simple as sitting still." Ding Feng laughed, thought about it, and said, "Actually, it seems to be as simple as sitting." Or how to say that the road is simpler and easier. It is also said that the road is easier said than done. ”

"I ask you if the young master often meditates." Zhou Yin was a little anxious, "What are you muttering to yourself?" ”

Ding Feng noticed that Zhou Yin also called Wei Ba the young master unnaturally, which was a little strange. "Oh yes. The young lord often meditated. Wrong. Not often. It's persistence. He meditated for at least half an hour every day, and if he was fine, he had to sit for an hour. ”

"Then I'll try it too." Zhou Yin laughed: "Maybe this is the secret of his ability to defeat me." ”

……

"I don't think Pengcheng is easy to attack. So don't attack. Zhang He simply expressed his worries. Wei Ba has not had cavalry since his debut, but he often fights with our army. Zhou Yin was originally a general of Wu, and he should also know the strength of our army. He still dared to advance with a light army, and he must have been prepared, and he was prepared to defend the city. Building a low wall outside the city should be just one of the tactics. Now they don't even have ballistas or thunderbolts, and this new tactic alone is enough to surprise me, so why fight again. Jin Jiang, you are in front, you should see it most clearly. ”

Tian Fu thought for a moment and nodded approvingly: "Yes, that low wall, and the position in front of the low wall can directly kill and injure our army, and the soldiers of our army attacking the city are not only hindered in their advances, but also take into account the cold arrows above their heads, every step forward is very difficult, ten percent of the combat power, at most fifty percent." Once surrounded, it became a live target for the archers at the head of the city. ”

Tian Fu said the situation before the battle, and everyone understood. What they saw was only what they saw, but Zhang He saw many things that had not yet appeared on the battlefield. Since Zhou Yin dared to come to take Pengcheng, he was naturally prepared to hold on for a long time, otherwise no matter what method he had, he would not be the opponent of the Wei army when he went out of the city to fight in the field. Wei Ba is best at mechanical skills, the thunderbolts, ballistas and fire bombs he built are all world-famous weapons for defending the city, but now Zhou Yin is useless, which can only show that Zhou Yin is very confident in this low wall tactic, or rather, he wants to shiyan a new tactic first, and he doesn't want to take out all the sharp weapons at once.

Although this person is young, he is not reckless, if he thinks he is a reckless person because he suddenly killed Peng Cheng, then he has fallen for his plan.

Zhang He's caution is very necessary.

"So how are we going to fight next?" Although Tian Fu understood Zhang He's worries, he was reluctant to let Zhou Yin go. "Pengcheng is an important place in the east, Zhou Yin and Ding Feng are all trusted generals under Wei Ba, if they can be trapped in Pengcheng, Wei Ba will lose at least half of his combat strength."

"It's not easy to siege the city, we besiege it." Zhang He waved his hand: "Trapping Zhou Yin and Ding Feng is equivalent to locking one of Wei Ba's hands." As for the siege, we are not enough, so we still have to wait for the main force of the general to come. ”

"What about us?"

"We criticized the hypocrisy, and we also came to run thousands of miles." Zhang He chuckled: "Jinjiang, give you a task." ”

"Whoa."

……

Zhang He only attacked Tiancheng for half a day before he stopped attacking, in addition to sending cavalry to patrol and monitor the east and north sides of Pengcheng, he arranged for soldiers to cut down trees and build siege equipment. He built a wall outside the moat of Pengcheng and laid out the jiashi besieging Pengcheng. Although Zhou Yin and Ding Feng had enough soldiers, they were also a little crying and laughing in the face of Zhang He's tactics. All the previous preparations have failed, and now, they can only see who can consume whom.

However, Zhang He was not idle, when he led the infantry to besiege Pengcheng, he sent Tian Fu and Zhang Xiong to lead 5,000 elite cavalry, quickly advanced to the east, easily conquered Xiapi, and then turned around and went south, all the way to Guangling. Zhou Yin and Ding Feng brought the elite to Pengcheng, and the remaining men and horses were simply not enough to resist the five thousand elite horsemen.

Tian Fu and the others almost encountered any obstacles, and they killed Guangling like a bamboo, and then turned around and marched westward, and the soldiers entered Shouchun.

Shou Chun Shou will be Wu General Zhu Ran. Knowing that the Wei cavalry had entered, Zhu Ran did not dare to slack off, and while organizing the defense, he sent someone to report to Sun Quan of Wuchang urgently. Although Zhu Ran also had hundreds of guards and cavalry, this was his means of preserving his life, and could not be used to attack the Wei army, so in front of the superior cavalry of the Wei army, the scope of his scout activities was also greatly limited, and he did not know how many Wei army foot soldiers there were behind the five thousand Wei cavalry, and he could only estimate with the usual habit that there should be three to fifty thousand foot soldiers behind the five thousand cavalry.

This is the meaning of regaining Shouchun.

He had no idea that he was facing only five thousand Wei cavalry.

Tian Fu and Zhang Xiong, with 5,000 elite horsemen, successfully created the false appearance that the Wei army was sending troops to the southeast, and passed this false image to Sun Quan's ears.

……

After receiving the urgent military report sent by Zhu Ran, the corners of Sun Quan's eyebrows jumped twice inadvertently.

Hu Zong stood aside and held his breath.

As Sun Quan's close confidant, he knew that the envoy of Wei had come to Wuchang, and he also knew what Sun Quan was thinking. Calling Shu Han a vassal is not as simple as simply bowing his head, Zhuge Liang and Wei Ba are old and young, one literary and one martial, or elegant, or savage in robbing the resources of Wu. No matter how they verbally assured, the state of Wu was no longer the original state of Wu, he had been reduced to a vassal of the Shu Han court, and as time went by, he would become weaker and weaker, and less and less able to fight back.

How could Sun Quan be willing, even if Zuihou was going to lose the country, he would not be willing to admit defeat.

This does not mean that he is willing to form an alliance with Wei, he has to consider the risks and benefits of doing so - whether the risks are bearable, whether the benefits are large enough.

The benefits are limited, but the risks are limitless. First of all, Zhuge Liang is a person who is known for his prudence, will this situation be the result he had predicted, just borrowing the hands of Cao Rui and Sun Quan to achieve his goal. If this is the case, then the result of the rabbit dead and the dog cooking is inevitable. In fact, Wei Ba is also a very insidious person, if he wants to stick a knife in his back, how many possibilities are there, if it is a bait he put down, just to have an excuse to do something to Wu Guo, it is to provoke fire.

Although Wei Ba is in the East China Sea, the main force is in Jingzhou, Jingzhou not only has his father Wei Yan and brother Wei Feng stationed in Nanjun and Xiangyang, but also his cronies Jin Dongliu and Deng Ai stationed in Changsha and Guiyang.

From this point of view, it is very uneconomical to cooperate with the Wei State, because Wei Ba himself is in the East China Sea, unless he himself goes ashore to fight the Wei army, Cao Rui will not have a chance to catch him and kill him, as long as he can't kill him, no matter how big the victory is, it is not a victory for Zuihou.

The stakes are great, very large.

From Hu Zong's point of view, he did not approve of Sun Quan's risk. According to the current situation, although the Wu Kingdom is over, and the Sun family has no drama, there are infinite possibilities for him. At this time, there is no need for him to follow Sun Quan to be stupid.

But he can't say that he can't speak easily before Sun Quan makes a decision, otherwise his reputation will be ruined.

Sun Quan turned his gaze to Hu Zong: "Wei Ze, what can I do?" ”

Hu Zong pretended to be puzzled: "King, when the Wei army entered, it was natural to send troops to resist, and at the same time inform the imperial court that Bixia should dispatch troops." ”

Sun Quan's brows slowly furrowed. He understood what Hu Zong meant, knew that Hu Zong was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and was unwilling to advance and retreat with him as before.

"Wei Ze is reasonable, let you draft the recital to report to Chengdu." Sun Quan waved his sleeves and motioned for Hu Zong to step down.

Hu Zong sighed secretly, stopped talking, bowed and bowed, and retreated. He walked so fast that he almost fled.

Sun Quan watched Hu Zong disappear outside the hall, and sighed lightly: "This is not what it used to be, the old people are no more, Gongjin and Zi Jing are not available." After he returned to the case, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Lu Xun in person...... (To be continued......)
