Wei Yan sat on a large rock, although there was a dense shade above his head to block the scorching sun, there was no wind in the mountains and forests, and wearing a battle robe and armor was still a difficult drudgery. Wei Yan's forehead continued to drip fine beads of sweat, but he didn't have any distraction, and looked intently at the map that the scouts had just refined.

He had been hiding in Nakajo Mountain for three days, and no one was allowed to leave the cave except for scouts who had to be sent out. Through the efforts of the scouts, the nearby terrain slowly took shape in his mind.

He is still waiting, waiting for Cao Zhen to start forcibly crossing Pusakajin. Zhao Yun rushed to Pubanjin with a large number of heavy ordnance and set up a blocking formation in Hexi, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. With Zhao Yun guarding the west of the river, if Cao Zhen wants to cross the Yellow River, it will take a lot of effort. Wei Yan waited for his attack to be frustrated and his morale was low, and then he carried out a surprise attack and defeated the main force of the Wei army in one fell swoop.

Although these people only had 20,000 people, they were the central forbidden army of the Wei army, and their strength should not be underestimated. Defeating them will have a great impact on the morale of both sides.

Wei Yan had enough patience, when he came all the way from the Meridian Valley, Mrs. Zhang slaughtered all the livestock in the family that could be slaughtered and made dry food such as salted jerky and meat cakes.

It's a pity that he can't control all the factors, and the problem of baggage is solved, and other problems come again.

In the past two days, Cao Wei has continued to have reinforcements to Pubanjin, first the county soldiers in Hedong, and then the county soldiers in Shangdang, Taiyuan and other places also appeared in Hedong, and they are moving closer to Pucheng at the fastest speed, today, he heard the most unpleasant news, the famous general of the Wei army, Zhang He, led 30,000 forbidden troops who had just withdrawn from the southeast battlefield, were coming, and today they have arrived in Caoyang, with their marching speed. Tomorrow and evening, they will be able to reach Pucheng.

Obviously, the loss of Guanzhong made Cao Wei feel great pressure. They are rapidly mobilizing all Liliang with the intention of recovering Guanzhong.

Under Zhuge Liang's planning, the Shu army took advantage of Cao Wei's opportunity to fight Wu in the southeast, violating the common sense of using troops. The dispatch of troops in the middle of summer a month ahead of schedule had the effect of a good haode sneak attack. Cao Wei didn't have time to react at all, so that the arrival of the first batch of troops in Tongguan was already a month after the Shu army entered Guanzhong. But now. It was Cao Wei's turn to show their strong strength, in just half a month, Cao Wei sent the second batch of reinforcements, and next, more reinforcements will flock in, within a month, Cao Wei's army in Tongguan and Pucheng will reach about 100,000. The main force of the forbidden army alone will reach 50,000.

The hardest time is coming.

If it hadn't been for the nearly two months of preparation, this time would have come much earlier. The most significant point is that if Jiangdong had not launched a major war, Cao Wei's main force would have set off from Luoyang and arrived at Tongguan in only three days. And it was impossible to build Tongguan City so strong in three days, and it was impossible for Wei Ba to build so many heavy ordnance for Zhao Yun. to help him hold on to Kasakatsu.

Timing, timing is opportunity. They created this opportunity, and they took it, and they laid the foundation for victory. But whether they can maintain this advantage to Zuihou depends on whether they can withstand Cao Wei's full counterattack.

"Daddy, how many days do we have to wait?" Wei Wu, who had always been a little ignorant, looked at Wei Yan and smacked his lips in boredom.

Wei Yan glanced at him, raised his hand and gave him a head: "Don't just ask me, you have to use your brain more." Don't you want to make meritorious contributions, do you want Lao Tzu to always be by your side and give you ideas? ”

Wei Wu touched his head and said with a bitter face: "Daddy, it's very physically demanding to use your brain." ”

"If you spend your physical strength, you have to use your brain, otherwise you will be a puppet who listens to people's orders in the future."

"What's so bad about following orders?" Wei Wu shrugged: "When Daddy is old, I will follow Brother, he likes to use his brain and calculate people, I just need to listen to him." ”

Wei Yan didn't get angry, he raised his hand and slapped again, this slap was a bit heavy, and the helmet on Wei Wu's head was almost slapped off, and most of it was covered on his face, Wei Wu pounced forward, almost falling a dog and chewing.

"If you don't have a product, you know how to rely on others, what are you doing with your own braincase? If you don't move again, Lao Tzu will cut it off as a drowning weapon! ”

Seeing that his father was really angry, Wei Wu didn't dare to be lazy anymore, he straightened his helmet, laughed twice, sat in front of the map in a proper manner, and measured it with his fingers: "Where will Zhang He's reinforcements be stationed today?" ”

"It should be in Caoyang Pavilion, but it is also possible to rush to Hongnong for the night. In this case, he will be able to cross Xijin early tomorrow morning and rush to Pucheng. The scout said: "We have seen a large number of civilian ships assembled in Xijin, which should be prepared to build a pontoon bridge." ”

Wei Wu furrowed his brows, pondering. He's only fourteen years old, and he's used to following orders, and it's really hard for him to suddenly think for himself. His face was flushed, and he said: "Daddy, if Zhang He and Cao Zhen converge together, then they will have 50,000 people, and they are 50,000 elites, if we want to sneak attack them, there will be great casualties." ”

"Well, so what? Withdraw to go? ”

"That's not going to happen." Wei Wu shouted, glared and said, "We have been hiding here for so many days, how can we leave without a fight?" ”

Wei Yan was angry and funny. "So what do you say?"

Wei Wu was speechless, and he rolled his eyes: "We can do it before they converge." ”

"Who is that attacking?"

Wei Yan's words were said very quickly, so fast that Wei Wu didn't have time to react, he bit his fingernails and hesitated. "Zhang He came from afar, it is said that he should attack him, but he has 30,000 people, even if he sneaks attack, we will not take advantage, so thinking about it, it seems that we should attack Cao Zhen. But Cao Zhen waited for work there, and there was a camp to protect him, so it didn't seem to be easy. This one...... It's really sad, Dad, it's very hard to use your brain. ”

Looking at Wei Wu, who was crying bitterly, Wei Yan was speechless, and he tapped the map lightly: "Don't think too much, let's attack Cao Zhen." ”

Wei Wu suddenly smiled: "Daddy, do you also think that Cao Zhenren is less easy to fight?" ”

"It's not just the reason why Cao Zhenren is few." Wei Yan patiently explained while rolling up the map: "Zhang He is a famous general in Cao Wei's army, he is clever and changeable, although he came from afar, there is no reason not to send scouts. And he's galloping, so fast, we can't be prepared to hold his position unless we ambush him. But do you look at this area, is there the most haode ambush position? ”

Wei Wu rolled his eyes and thought, "The place where we cross the river is fine." ”

"It's okay for us to cross the river, but after ambushing Zhang He there, he will definitely fight back with all his might, so how can we go back to Tongguan?"

Wei Wu was silent.

In contrast, Cao Zhen's energy these days is all about crossing the river, and he can rest assured that a large number of reinforcements are coming behind him. You see, we didn't see any of his scouts for two days. ”

"yes, yes." Wei Wu began to understand what his father meant, and nodded excitedly.

"Cao Zhen was first frustrated in Tongguan, and now he is blocked by the big river, and his heart is buoyant and he neglects to take precautions. Since Zhang He was only a day's journey away, he must have received the news, and in this case, he would further relax his vigilance. He was negligent, and we had a chance to sneak attack. Wei Yan explained word by word: "The art of war is cloudy, and I am invincible, and the enemy can be defeated." If there is no loophole on the other side, even if there are fewer people, it will be difficult for us to succeed, and once the other party is negligent, even if there are many people, we have a chance. It's called being invincible, you know? ”

"I seem to get it a little bit." Wei Wule couldn't close his mouth, "It's just ready, when the other party has no flaws, just wait patiently, and if the other party shows flaws, beat him hard." ”

"Well, that's pretty much what it means." Although Wei Yan was still not satisfied, thinking that Wei Wu was still young, it was not bad to have such an understanding. He couldn't help but feel a little pity. Wei Ba could only stay in Chang'an in order to prepare the heavy armaments needed by the army, and if he followed him, he would definitely be able to understand his words most accurately.

"Let's prepare, let's set off at midnight, start the attack before dawn, whether we succeed or not, and leave before Zhang He arrives tomorrow." Wei Yan commanded to go down, raised his head, looked at the moon in the semi-circle of the sky, and couldn't help laughing: "After eating those pork livers and sheep livers, it's time to play a role today." ”

The training of the Wei family soldiers was known for their hard work, and in order to ensure their physical strength, it was inevitable to open meat once in a while. However, people in these years generally do not pay much attention to offal, and even if they do not throw it away, they do not regard livestock offal as a treasure, and only those who cannot afford to buy meat will buy offal to eat. Wei Ba later made a suggestion, saying that although the Wei family's martial arts trained hard, they were not strong enough in night fighting, because many people had night blindness and could not see the road clearly at night. To solve this problem, it is necessary to eat more animal livers.

Wei Yan didn't believe it before, and besides, there weren't so many internal organs to use, only a few pigs a month, and that little liver fell on everyone's head, that is, the finger was big, what could it be used for. This time, in order to prepare dry food, Mrs. Zhang slaughtered all the livestock, and a lot of internal organs came out at once, which happened to use Wei Ba's suggestion. Not to mention, the effect is really not small, the night blindness of the Wei family's martial arts has been alleviated to a great extent, and it is precisely because of this that Wei Yan has the confidence to attack Cao Zhen at night.

In the middle of the night, after three days of cats in the mountains, the five thousand soldiers who had long been holding back their green eyes quietly went to Pucheng under the leadership of Wei Yan.
