"Those people, those people, where did they come from?" Xiahou Nan pointed to the Shu army rushing down from the mountain, and his face changed greatly.
Then I saw the flag behind the valley fluttering, a big "Liu" flag was coming, smoke and dust were rolling, people shouted, Wei Jun just rushed to the place, and finally completely formed a team, which was even more chaotic.
Xiahou Nan was originally a person without a plan, and he was still too young to experience such a big battle, and when he saw the chaos in the army, he no longer listened to Chen Wu's persuasion, and turned his horse head to lead hundreds of people under the account, and retreated directly to Nan'an County.
Chen Wu also couldn't imagine that the Shu army was still prepared, it was really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and then watching Xiahou Nan escape, the morale of the Wei army plummeted, and the Chinese army was in chaos, so he could only sigh deeply and retreat with him.
The Wei army had no one to command, and when they looked back to see that the handsome banner had disappeared, they each fled, only killing corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the two thousand ping-pong horses only walked less than half a half, and nearly two thousand people fell.
Mei Changsheng Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao surrounded Nan'an County on three sides, this city is tall, and the moat ditch is also dug very deep, it is spring, the water is turbulent, it is not easy to attack, so I have to report to Zhuge Liang.
Xiahou Nan hid in the city of Nan'an, ordered the defenders to close the city gate, carefully guarded, no matter who fought the battle, not allowed to open the city, and suffered repeated defeats, he had no courage to fight, and he was even more unwilling to listen to Chen Wu's words.
Mei Changsheng let go of the West Gate, ordered people to watch carefully, summoned the generals to raise the account, and said to Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong, "Fortunately, there is no General Cao Jun today, otherwise you, the two of you, I am afraid that the whole army will be destroyed, and you will be cautious in the future."
The two also understood that this battle was very risky, if it wasn't for Xiahou Nan to flee, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to win, as Mei Changsheng said, if Xiahou Nan had a general under his command to resist, the rear army would not have time to rescue at all.
After two days, Zhuge Liang led the army to arrive, Xiahou Nan was unmoved in the city, Zhang Bao went to fight several times, but no one responded, Mei Changsheng said, "Nan'an County is deep in the city, although the Cao army is defeated, it may be difficult to attack, and the cost of attacking is too great." At any time, he did not advocate a forcible siege of the city, in the entire Han Wei era, whether it was friend or foe, Mei Changsheng wanted to minimize the loss of the population, in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua, and secondly, he had a grander goal in mind, as a latecomer, how could his vision be limited
This Central Plains Kyushu?
Zhuge Liang went outside the city to inspect - Zhou, returned to the tent, has given up the plan to attack Nan'an City, Ping Pong Ma arrived, the siege equipment is insufficient, this time to seize Longyou by surprise, every second counts, can not waste too much time here.
Xun dialect said, "General Zhang Bao is kind to the Qiang people, why don't you send someone to ask Qiang Ping to help?" Attacking back and forth, Longyou and Xiliang can be at your fingertips." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "This plan must not be used lightly, although we are friendly with the Qiang people, it is all due to interests, if we ask for their help, get the Xiliang counties, the Qiang people will repay the favor, I am afraid it will be difficult to liquidate, but so we will settle the grudge and take the Longxi counties, it is not difficult, or ourselves."
Resolved."
Everyone-listening Lian Lian nodded, in terms of the overall situation, Zhuge Liang is still fine, and he is determined to win Longyou, the Wei army is not well prepared, only a Xiahou Nan, there is no need to worry at all.
Mei Changsheng said, "Since Nan'an City is difficult to attack, it is better to take Tianshui first and stabilize it, Xiahou Nan is a court horse, I don't believe that those people and the two counties dare to see death and not save it."
"That's what I mean," Zhuge Liang looked at Mei Changsheng with a smile, bowed slightly, but said, "It's just that Zhang Bao captured Han Dezhi's son, just in time, take Nan'an first, capture Xiahou Nan alive, and the other two counties can be decided without a fight."
"Han Ying?"
Mei Changsheng frowned, in order to disturb Han De's attention, Xu Ling deliberately made a slashing action in front of the formation, but in fact, Han Ying was not dead, and was still imprisoned in the military camp.
Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Han Ying's family has been killed in battle, the blood is deep, and he refuses to surrender, even if he surrenders, his heart is unpredictable, it is better to let him go."
"Let him go?" Zhang Bao was puzzled, and stood up with his eyes open, "If he puts it back and attacks it with a ping pong again, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble?"
Mei Changsheng and Xun Fang were all frowning and silent, thinking about Zhuge Liang's intentions one by one, and understood that he was by no means groundless.
After Xiahou Nan returned to the city of Nan'an, he did not fight, and did not dare to flee out of the city, and the Shu army surrounded the city gate on three sides, only letting go of the west gate, either deliberately let him escape, or there was an ambush, and he could only wait for reinforcements.
Seeing that the Shu army is getting more and more, and Zhuge Liang's army has also arrived, Xiahou Nan is even more frightened, unable to sleep at night, this night is angrily scolding Chen Cang's guards, suddenly Shi Ping reported that someone entered the city overnight, it was Han De's son Han Ying.
Xiahou Nan ordered someone to bring him up, and saw that Han Ying and the two Cao soldiers were only wearing thin clothes, describing themselves as embarrassed, like beggars, glaring, and asked in a cold voice, "You were captured by the Shu army, and you don't know how to die and die for the country, what kind of face do you have to escape back?"
Han Ying hurriedly said, "Governor Yudu, the three of us have found out a confidential military situation, and we will risk our lives to escape from the military camp and report it."
"Confidential?" Xiahou Nan's eyes were bright, and his body leaned forward slightly, "Come on!"
"Governor, outside Zhuge Liangtun Ping Pong City, the army's grain and grass will arrive from Hanzhong tonight, if you can successfully rob the grain, the Shu army will retreat without a fight, and when the time comes, the governor will be able to kill with a table tennis, and he will be able to capture Zhuge Liang and Mei Changsheng alive!"
Han Ying was so excited that the horizontal flesh on her face was trembling, and the two Wei soldiers beside her also nodded repeatedly.
"Huh?" Xiahou Nan was taken aback, although he had no plan, but he was not stupid, he frowned and asked, "Zhuge Liang is cautious with ping-pong, how can such important news let your captives know, isn't it a plan?"
"Governor, the news is definitely true!" Han Ying was very sure, "The news was said by the Shu army guarding the captives, the Shu army had just arrived, and the table tennis strength was insufficient, so some guards were dispatched to meet the grain transport team, which we overheard when several soldiers handed over the table tennis." Is that really the case?" Xiahou Nan's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but stand up and look out the door.
3 Lead the serpent out of the hole
"Governor, it's true!" โMing Wei Jun hurriedly replied, "If it weren't for the garrison's transfer, there would be no chance for his subordinates to escape, and this is a great achievement from the help of heaven!"
Xiahou Nan clenched his fists, walked back and forth in the hall, looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, the other two he didn't know, but Han Ying would never surrender to the Shu army, his whole family father and son were killed by the Shu army, the blood was deep, and he only thought about revenge.
"Who are you two subordinates?" Xiahou Nan looked at the two Wei soldiers.
"Back to the governor, both of us are subordinates of General Xue Ze."
"Someone, call Xue Ze and Pan Suier!" Xiahou Nanma issued an order.
Not long after, two Wei generals came in a hurry, it was Xue Ze and Pan Sui, Xiahou Nan asked Xue Ze to come forward to recognize each other, and those two people were indeed his subordinates, and they told the news brought by Han Ying - all over again.
Xue Ze was overjoyed and said, "The governor is worthy of being the man of the mandate of heaven, this is the destruction of the Shu army by heaven, and he has not taken the wish out of the city to rob the grain!"
In the past few days, he has been patrolling and guarding in the city, he is very bored, and he has to be scolded by Xiahou Nan from time to time, Pan Sui is also bored, and he is afraid that Xue Ze has made a great achievement, and he is also busy asking for his life.
Seeing that both of them thought so, Xiahou Nan suddenly made up his mind, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, this governor sent you two to rob grain tonight, Han Ying is a native person, he will lead the way, if the grain burning is successful, you should take the lead in this battle."
The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly went to get the table tennis, each bringing 5,000 fine table tennis to the west city gate, and Xiahou Nan personally carried out the village for those people under the city, and told the two to act carefully.
The city gate was quietly opened in the thick of the night, looking at the taxi table tennis who went out of the city, Xiahou Nan's heart also beat wildly.
The night was as cold as water, and he simply came to the city to inspect it, and watched the half-round crescent moon gradually sink in the west, and his heart sank with it, and the four fields were empty, and the patches were dark, only a little starlight shimmered, and there was no movement in sight.
As he was walking, Cheng Wu hurried over and said eagerly, "Governor, the Shu army is transporting grain, how can the news be easily leaked, this must be Zhuge Liang's plan, how can you let the ping pong horse go out of the city?"
After entering the city, after Cheng Wu persuaded him several times, Xiahou Nan was overwhelmed and directly sent Cheng Wu to deal with the chores in the city, and no longer let him participate in the military.
"Huh?" Xiahou Nan's face sank, and he squinted at Cheng Wu with his hands behind his back, "Are you questioning this governor?" Han Ying and the Shu army have a common enmity, can they still deceive the governor?"
Cheng Wu hurriedly said, "Han Ying may be true, but if this news is deliberately leaked by the Shu army, it is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and now the city is empty, if the Shu army attacks, how can it be defended?"
"Assault?" Xiahou Nan walked to the edge of the city, looked at the light of fire outside the city through the battlement, and the Shu army camp was all over the outside, without the slightest movement, and couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Pointing to the outside of the city, he pointed to the posture of the country, and laughed loudly, "You see that the Shu army camp is silent, but you can see that the news is true, and when its ping-pong food is burned out, how can you not retreat?"
