"Huh?" Zhou Zhi was stunned by Wang Xu's words, but he quickly reacted, his face changed, and he whispered: "Boss, the next order won't be something that can't be fought!" ”

"Hey, hey!" The corners of Wang Xu's mouth maintained his signature arc and nodded affirmatively. "Congratulations, you got it right, plus ten...... Well, no! Give you a full score directly! ”

"Ahh O heaven, O earth! Zhou Zhi was excited. Boss, you can't be so cruel, I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally went to war, and when I had the opportunity to show my skills, you always deprived me of it so ruthlessly. ”

"Who made you smart and not smart enough?" Wang Xu smiled disapprecitately.

"Huh?" Zhou Zhi was stunned and said strangely: "How do you say this?" ”

"Do you think you're alone? Are all the generals in the army stupid? Although I asked the soldiers to form a camp according to the formation to implement the trick, the generals have been in it for a long time, and they should also find that there are tens of thousands of people missing. I reckon there should be three more than you can see, and if you have a few more days, you can see them all. Besides, there are Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, who should have been aware of it a long time ago. As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at Zhou Zhi and said disdainfully: "Why don't you think a few of them come to ask?" ”

Zhou Zhi's face changed, and he exclaimed, "They have already guessed the next order?" ”

"Nope! This is impossible to guess, any scrutiny must be grounded, guessing without any action, that is called foreknowledge, it is something that God does. Wang Xu shook his head.

"Why is that?"

"Because they understand that since I've made the first step, the next step is not far off. And I haven't done anything yet, I must be waiting for the right time, so I'm rotting these in my stomach. They are different from you, they stick to the way of being ministers and don't guess, and you and I are so careless because of special reasons. ”

"Oh!" Zhou Zhi is quite smart, and he can understand it at all. Pondered for a long time. Know that you can't change things. Cai asked a little frustratedly, "What does the boss want me to do?" ”

"Simple, early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, you will take five thousand green dragon knights as the vanguard, attack Shangyong, and march towards Hanzhong County. I personally led the generals and 60,000 troops to set out the next day. Wang Xu was categorical.

"Hit Hanzhong?" Zhou Zhi was obviously shocked by these words, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "Aren't you going to fight Jiangzhou? What is the use of Xu Sheng's 10,000 horses ambushed in Zigui? ”

"Hehe, who told you that I was really going to fight Hanzhong? Do you have to fight when you send troops to Hanzhong? Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"Ahh As soon as these words came out. Zhou Zhi also reacted instantly, and exclaimed: "Boss, do you want to attack the west?" ”

"Hehe, sort of. This thing is the simplest and most practical. Wang Xu smiled slightly, and then slowly spoke: "I deliberately revealed my intentions that day. released the rumors, saying that he was going to beat Hanzhong. Why do you think I am so high-profile, just to let Liu Yan know that I believe that in the past few days, his meticulous work lurking in my Jingzhou has been returned to him. And your next task is to take the five thousand green dragon knights out of their courage and pass along the way. It is bound to conquer everything. Be sure to convince them that we are falsely revealing the news that we are going to attack Jiangzhou. In fact, it is to capture Hanzhong, understand? ”

Looking at Wang Xu's meaningful eyes, Zhou Zhi also put away the look of his hippie smile, rarely sternly stood, and fell into deep thought......

Yizhou, State Pastoral Mansion, Liu Yan's bedroom......

"My lord! Big things are not good"

"Huh?" Lying on the bed, Liu Yan, who was pale, couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this hurried call. After seeing the visitor, he waved his hand to let the maid who was serving him to drink medicine leave, and then said a little weakly: "Mao'an, why are you so alarmed?" ”

The person who came was Dong Fu, Dong Maoan. At the beginning, he was a servant of the imperial court, but because he saw the chaos in the imperial court and the decline of the royal family, he instigated Liu Yan to seek Yizhou Mu, and he also resigned to follow. "Lord, the spies came to report, Wang Xu did not send troops to attack Jiangzhou, but suddenly sent 70,000 troops, with Zhou Zhi leading his account of 5,000 Qinglong knights as the vanguard, directly attacking Hanzhong, and the generals in the army are all accompanied!"

"Is it really Hanzhong?" Liu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he coughed. "Ahem! Cough! Cough! ”

"Lord!" Dong Fu wanted to step forward to help him, but he was really a little worried. Now it is an eventful autumn, and Jingzhou is eyeing it, but Liu Yan is infected at this time, which is really not good news.

"It's okay!" Liu Yan waved his hand, but didn't care, but laughed. "As we expected, this Wang Xu was scheming and threatened to attack Jiangzhou, but in fact he suddenly sent troops to Hanzhong, intending to catch us off guard."

"Yes, when I heard about the change in Jingzhou, I was really shocked, but fortunately, it was not bad, I really went to Hanzhong." Dong Fu's face also showed a rare hint of joy, but he soon frowned again. "But even if Hanzhong has been on guard for a long time, in the face of the fierce Wang Xu's army, I am afraid it will not be able to resist for long. It is still necessary to send troops and horses to support it. ”

"Hmmm! At the age of thirteen, Wang Xu followed General Huangfu Song to exterminate the Yellow Turban, resourceful and battle-hardened, but with Zhang Lu's men, he was deficient. "Although Liu Yan is suffering from a stubborn illness, he still cheers himself up." Have the soldiers in our army been assembled? ”

"It has already been assembled in Zitong, and Zhang Ren, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian and other generals are already waiting for the lord's order." After Dong Fu finished speaking, he bowed down and looked at Liu Yan's face, but hesitated and said, "Lord, it's just that my subordinates are always a little uneasy. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Dong Fu frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "This time, Wang Xu pretended to attack Jiangzhou, but in fact attacked Hanzhong, which was a plan to attack the east and the west. But why did you choose Hanzhong as a breakthrough? Even if he takes Dongchuan Hanzhong, there are still countless mountains and dangerous mountains in my north, and he may not be able to enter my Xichuan. ”

"Huh! What's wrong with this, it is precisely because we all think this is the case, that he can make me believe that his people are going to capture Jiangzhou, so as to attack Hanzhong by surprise. As he spoke, Liu Yan waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Moreover, although we must also face the danger of Xichuan if we take Hanzhong, we are also bound to face danger if we want to attack." His intention is probably to contain us in Hanzhong, and then turn around and fight Jiangzhou again. This can also prevent him from sending a group of troops and horses out of Hanzhong to attack him when he is attacking Jiangzhou with all his might. Moreover, Wang Xu's most elite Blue Dragon Knights are out, and the intention is no matter how obvious, Mao An doesn't need to worry too much. ”

"This ......" Although Dong Fu was still faintly uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what was wrong. Pondered for a long time. After all, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Liu Yan coughed lightly twice, no longer hesitated, and said loudly: "You give me an order now, so that the generals stationed in Zitong can lead their troops to aid Hanzhong immediately." However, Jiangzhou also has to take some precautions, so it's better to do this. Send Liu Bi to lead another 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist General Yan in case of emergency. ”

"No!" Dong Fu bowed and immediately turned to leave.

After all these years of tempering, Zhou Zhi has long been different from what it used to be, and he has passed all the way, breaking through several small counties in three days. Straight to the bottom of the city. And Wang Xu's army followed behind unhurriedly, but unfortunately only a few people knew that the number of officers and soldiers in the army was decreasing every day. Even the ordinary soldiers vaguely noticed that something was wrong, because the tents were still so big, but many of them were empty. When I inquired about it, I only learned that they had all gone out to carry out the order, but no one knew where they had gone.

As a matter of fact. Of course, these people went south in batches. Out of the Yiling Pass, along Zigui, Wu County to Yubei County. This fish belly county is later Yong'an. The feast of the Hereafter. These people did not use banners, only brought weapons and equipment, food and drinking water, and quickly marched towards the belly of the fish under the leadership of their respective generals, as for their logistical supplies, in fact, they had been hoarding in Zigui County a long time ago.

"Zhou Zhi, what's the current situation?" As soon as Wang Xu led the Chinese army to the front line, he urged the horse to come to Shangyong City to find Zhou Zhi, who was calling for battle in front of the battle.

"Oh! The boss is here! Zhou Zhi, who was dressed in fine iron armor, glanced back, and then set his eyes on the city again. It's okay, as expected, the other party has always been closed, and he is well prepared, without anxiety and panic, and extremely calm. Come to think of it, I should have received a secret report, and reinforcements will arrive soon! ”

"Hehe, it looks like the plan has succeeded."

"It should be!" Zhou Zhi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a smile, and continued: "Boss, this time I have worked hard and worked hard, and I have to give me the first credit when I go back." ”

"The first merit is not necessarily, the battle has just begun, but with your table xiàn, it will definitely rank in the top three." As he spoke, Wang Xu looked at the soldiers around him who were screaming and scolding, and he didn't stay any longer, turned his horse's head and said, "Zhou Zhi, I'll leave it to you here." I went back to give the order, this side has successfully attracted Liu Yan's soldiers and horses, and the next thing is up to Xu Sheng. ”

"Well, don't worry, boss!"

Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Xu immediately sent elite guards to the south with letters in hand, so that Xu Sheng, who was lurking near the belly of the fish, immediately launched a sneak attack. The belly of the fish is the gateway to Yizhou, where more than 5,000 elite soldiers of Liu Yan are stationed, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to take it by force, the loss will be not small, and it will give Liu Yan enough time to prepare.

But now Liu Yanzhong is planning, as long as the belly of the fish is broken, then the next few counties along the river can be pacified in an instant and reach Jiangzhou. At that time, even if Liu Yan wanted to send troops to rescue, it was too late, most of his soldiers and horses were marching towards Hanzhong, and it would take half a month to turn back and attack, no matter how fast it was. As for the small group of soldiers and horses galloping to help, they were not put in Wang Xu's eyes at all, and they were killed as many as they came.

In the evening of the next day, Xu Sheng, who had been waiting anxiously in the northern mountains and forests of the fish belly, finally ushered in Wang Xu's order. When I opened the letter, there was only a short line of words. "The enemy army is unprepared, take advantage of the night to sneak attack, at any cost, take the belly of the fish tomorrow morning!"

After reading it quickly, Xu Sheng put the silk silk in his arms and frowned.

Zhou Chao and Guo Shi, who had been following him, looked at each other with some apprehension when they saw his appearance. Zhou Chao hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but step forward and ask: "General Xu, what does the lord want?" ”

Xu Sheng let out a long sigh and said with a little worry: "Hey! The lord wants me to wait for the night to sneak attack and take down the belly of the fish before tomorrow morning! ”

"This ......" Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi was also shocked by these words. After being stunned for a while, Guo Shicai said frankly: "General Xu, how is this possible?" Although there were only 5,000 people in the belly, they didn't take much precautions. With our 10,000 people, even if we sneak attack at night, at most we will cause heavy losses to the other party, and it is impossible to take it at once, not to mention that we will attack for four or five more rounds. ”

Xu Sheng was silent and did not answer.

Zhou Chao frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help but step forward and said, "General Xu, does the lord not know much about the topography of this fish belly?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Sheng responded lightly, but then said with a firm gaze: "But no matter what, the order has been given, and it can only be done." The lord only gave one sentence this time, and with his character, that is, the order cannot be disobeyed. If there is room for manoeuvre, a discretionary sentence will inevitably be added. After speaking, Xu Sheng's sharp eyes looked in the direction of the county seat of Yubelly, and without saying a word, he clenched his fists resolutely: "Go and prepare, take the city tonight!" ”

"No!" (To be continued.) )

PS: That's it today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, three more, make up for yesterday and the day before yesterday!
