"See clearly?" After finishing the silver technique, you can ask the horse

"Clear."

"How many?"

"This man and horse are very well guarded, and the horses are scattered for thirty miles. The villain couldn't get closer, so he had no choice but to give up his mount and sneak closer, and the nearest place was about seven or eight miles away. It was dark and they couldn't see the flag clearly, they didn't light torches, they walked in the dark, looking at the length of the queue, about 20,000 people. ”

"No torches?"

"Not only did there be no torches, there was no sound of golden drums, and there were not even the sounds of people or horses, it was quiet."

"Walking at night without torches, quietly." Wanyan Yinshu was silent in thought, his hands were clasped together, and he unconsciously rubbed his belt, and the hall was quiet, and the wind outside the hall was quiet. He said: "Sure enough, the bright also repairs the plank road, and the dark also crosses the plank road." He was sure that this Biao man must have come from Taiyuan, "Fortunately, there are Tanma sent by this official to Fenzhou, I didn't expect you, right?" Hu Yan Geng, Hu Yan Geng, how can you hide these tricks from such a general as this official. This official has already seen through your intentions! ”

He slapped the case and shouted, "Huyan Geng's target is not Xinzhou, but Taiyuan!" The three armies were sent to be on strict alert. ”

"Report to Xuanshuai, I don't see any signs of reinforcements in Taiyuan City, since last night, on the contrary, the precautions are even worse, the daily defenders on the head of the city, distinguish their banners, has increased to three thousand."

Gao Chong and other faces were worried, and Hu Yangeng laughed.

The night will come to an end, and the sun will rise at dawn.

The grass and trees on the roadside and the frozen river glistening in the distance. The cold winter air froze the red flag, and in order to keep warm, the soldiers inserted their bows into the bow sacs. The ground was frozen solid, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to it, and the sound was still heard far away.

Xinzhou, Xia Shang and Dirong land, Zhou was taken by the Jin State, and the Warring States belonged to Wei. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, all of them are the starting point of the Central Plains to Hu, the strategy of Ma Yi when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army was assembled in Xinzhou, and it was the fulcrum of Yanmen Pass in the north.

Great rivers, magnificent rivers and mountains, my Chinese gate, my Chinese domain, the early Tang Dynasty Li Jing rode lightly to settle down, break the Turks, and recover the homeland of the place of attack.

Huyan Geng's soldiers came to the city, although he did not come to attack Xinzhou this time, he was also full of emotion in his heart.

Not long after crossing the river, he found Lin Chong rushing back, and Hu Yangeng hurriedly asked, "How?" The defenders of Xinzhou were not fooled? ”

"The Ma Fang envoy led the Daizhou army to arrive and surrounded Xinzhou, so the Xinzhou defenders will categorically not believe that I can still break through the encirclement if I am a signed army."

After briefly asking about the situation, Hu Yangeng comforted him with a few words, the cavalry slowed down, the baggage battalion moved forward, and after ten miles, he stopped and officially set up camp.

Xinzhou city head.

"It's almost night, the Song army is assembled under the city, do you have to fight all night?" A general of the Jin soldiers asked suspiciously, "In the Ma Kuan army, there are all ordinary people in Hedong, when did there be such a brave thief in the Song army?" ”

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the continuous Song army camps, General Jin Yan Yan was thoughtful and said: "Even if the soldiers are beaten with iron, they can't fight without enough rest. ”

Wan Yanhu asked, "Are there Song troops in all the four city gates?" ”

"The Song army surrounded three queyi. The last general looked carefully, the Song army at the north gate was the largest, with more than 10,000 people, and the other two city gates were only thousands. It will not be difficult for our army to break through the encirclement. ”

"Although there are many Ma expansion troops here, most of them are ordinary people's armor guards. , Ma Kuo cherishes the people's power and will not let them join the siege of the city. Therefore, he showed hypocrisy, and his intention was to lure our army to break through. When you look at the Song military camp at the North City Gate, is it noisy and extremely lively? ”

"Exactly."

"On the surface, it is noisy, but in fact, it is murderous and hidden. This officer can conclude that as long as our army breaks through to the outside, he will definitely come out of the camp at the north gate of the city with iron cavalry, attack our rear road, and outflank and encircle. Wan Yanhu sneered: "But the Song army has a similar number of soldiers to my Dajin, as long as the number of people is similar, there is no reason for my Dajin to lose, as long as Taiyuan Yinshu can send reinforcements, it is just the internal and external attack, and it will be all in one net." ”

Wan Yanhu's idea is not unreasonable. The current situation is still that Jin is strong and Song is weak, and the Song army can only rely on the numerical advantage to resist the Jin soldiers.

Wan Yanhu thought to himself: "Even if you break through, it's not today, the Song army is coming, and the edge is flourishing." After a few days, when it is tired, our army will recuperate and recharge, and then we can make a good plan. ”

Hearing him mention Taiyuan, the subordinate said: "A few days ago, Taiyuan sent a letter, thinking that Song Junming attacked Xinzhou and actually planned Taiyuan. Clearly cowardly like a tiger! Ma Kuan's 50,000 army is all in my place, what can he do to fight Taiyuan again? My lord, why don't you repair a book anymore, and tell Taiyuan all kinds of situations, if you can get reinforcements, relieve the siege of our city, and even break the thief is not a difficult thing. ”

Wan Yan Hu nodded yes, and he was a little suspicious of Wan Yan Yinshu.

Taiyuan has Xinzhou in the north, there is Longde in the south, it is nearly two or three hundred miles apart, the military horses gallop to help the morning and evening, to talk about the degree of security, several cities, it is the highest. Hu Yangeng is only more than 10,000 people, and if the surprise attack fails, he will inevitably fall into a heavy siege immediately, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to risk his life.

Xinzhou is different, Jin Bing and Ma Kuan fought a lot, and took Xinzhou, Dingxiang, Fanxian and other places from Ma Kuan. However, there is a Yanmen Pass between Datong in the north, and Datong soldiers and horses follow Sticky Han to take Shaanxi.

He believed that Huyangeng's strategy was set to be easy first and then difficult, first to take Xinzhou, then to the south, and then to Taiyuan. It's just that Wanyan Yinshu has a higher official position than him, and he is his superior, and his dissatisfaction can only be suppressed in his heart. Just as he judged, Song tentatively attacked twice, but did not attack, and as soon as the sun set, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

After dinner, in the Song military camp, Hu Yangeng and Ma Kuo sat opposite each other.

Ma Kuo asked: "Xuan Shuai's plan is certain. ”

"Brother, this is not a strategy, but an external situation. If you don't want to be divided by our army, you have to come to save Xinzhou. ”

The whole battalion extinguished the torches, and the city was pitch black, only the angry wind lamps of the Yuanmen were shining, and the light was very conspicuous. At the third watch, thousands of people quietly came out of the camp from behind, and they walked a long way on foot without riding horses, before galloping on horseback and heading straight to the south.

Two hours later, at the west gate of Xinzhou, several horsemen sneaked out and went around to the east.

The Twin Cities Patrol discovered them, and Feiqi reported to Hu Yangeng, asking if they wanted to take it. Hu Yangeng said: "Several horses sneaked, set as a messenger in Xinzhou, and saw the crowd of people at my north gate, so I went out of the west gate and walked around the east." Send a few people to follow firmly, and if he turns north and goes to Taiyuan, he doesn't have to be captured. If he doesn't go to Taiyuan, he will be killed on the spot. ”

The patrol took the order and left.

"Xuan Shuai, Taiyuan Tanmalai newspaper."

"How's the military going?"

"The silver technique can be shocked three times a day, and the defenders at the head of the city increased to four thousand last night."

The generals are worried. Hu Yangeng smiled slightly, only called for rewarding the horse, and didn't say anything else. In the end, Gao Zhong couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Xuan Shuai, Wanyan Yinshu can be vigilant day by day, seeing that our army's ambush is about to fail, why doesn't the general worry and laugh, what is the reason?" ”
