The military rations of Chu Bai and Su Jun's troops were burned, and there was chaos.

In the face of the arrival of the armies of Jin and Cheng, they could not fight without military rations, so they could only temporarily retreat to Yuan County.

Su Jun sighed: "Now that Ning Ze and Dewey have won a big victory, how can it be good?"

Chu Bai said: "If it weren't for Xing Zhao's rebellion and burning my grain and grass, how could there be such a defeat? The prime minister has already raised troops and led a large army to Jiyang. You and I will prepare grain and grass, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and when the prime minister attacks Jinzhou, he will immediately send troops to drag Ning Ze, so that he can't care about each other. No matter how great Ning Ze's ability is, he is powerless!"

So the two of them each instructed their subordinates to prepare military rations and mobilize soldiers and horses in Xi and Yuan Prefectures.

Repelled Chu Bai and Su Jun, Ning Ze temporarily garrisoned troops with Miao County, mobilized military rations from the rear city, and reorganized the soldiers and horses.

Yu Song came to see Dewey and said to him: "Now that Su Jun and Chu Bai have been defeated, Ning Ze reorganizes his troops and horses to attack Bashui. He has occupied the two states of Jin and Han, and if he gets the water, the general will be in a passive position!"

When Dewey heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What should I do?"

Yu Song persuaded: "The general can send troops first and capture Bashui County!" Ning Ze and the general are still in an alliance at present, and in order to prevent Su Jun and Chu Bai, they will not turn against the general. At that time, the general will occupy Bashui, first, to avoid being surrounded by Ning Ze on three sides, leaving a glimmer of life; second, if Lu Cong attacks Jinzhou, the general leads the troops all the way north, and breaks through Dangliang to support Emperor Wen, then the world can be determined!"

"Sir is really talented!" said Dewey, impressed by it.

So I prepared quickly.

Yu Song secretly went to see Ning Ze again and said to him: "Xiaguan instigated Dewey to attack Bashui, and Zhonglang can operate here, taking advantage of the situation to overtake Chengzhou, and at the same time guard against Chu Bai and Su Jun." If Dewey breaks through Bashui, Lu Cong will need to disperse his forces, and the situation in Jinzhou will be eased. If Dewey is defeated, he will be cornered and will have to join our army!"

"If this plan is successful, it will be a great achievement!" Ning Ze smiled, "You can do your best." ”

"Whoa!"

Dewey and Yu Song led the Chengzhou soldiers to quickly set off and attack Bashui County.

Upon learning of this, Lu Cong ordered Duosi County to guard Gormon and lead troops to support Bashui County.

Gormont arrived at Bashui with 10,000 troops and joined forces with Xu Yan, the Taishou of Bashui County, to defend the city.

Dewey arrived at Bashui County and called for battle outside the city gates.

Gormont wanted to go out of the city to face the battle, but Xu Yan persuaded: "I heard that Dewey has the courage to be invincible, and he cannot be defeated. The enemy army is coming from afar, and the soldiers are tired, so our army will wait for work at ease, and first defend in the city to frustrate their spirit! When they are discouraged, they will be able to win by attacking the enemy camp at night!"

Gormont heeded the advice and stayed in the city with Xu Yan, leaving Dewey to scold.

Hold out in the city for three days, and raid at night.

Dewey really couldn't react, and was stolen by the other party, and retreated thirty miles away.

Xu Yan and Gormont did not chase and quickly retreated into the city.

Dewey suffered a loss and was displeased, so he consulted Yu Song.

Yu Song advised: "There is a south wind today, and the wind is quite strong. The general can order his soldiers to burn the leaves of the green trees outside the city and attack them with smoke!"

The next day, Dewey ordered the whole army to cut down wet wood and collect weeds. Countless fires were lit outside Bashui City.

The fire broke out, and the smoke billowed as the wet wood and weeds burned, and the south wind filled the Bashui City.

The defenders in the city were choked and hurriedly reported to Xu Yan and Gormon.

Thick smoke soon covered a large area of Bashui City, and the people in the city complained of distress.

Gormont was furious and was about to lead his troops out of the city to extinguish the fire.

Xu Yan hurriedly stopped him and said to him: "Dewey wants to force our army out of the city to engage it head-on, and you can't be fooled! ”

Ordered to go down, the whole army covered their faces with wet cloths, and sure enough, they were not afraid of smoke.

When Dewey saw that the smoke attack had been broken, he hurriedly asked Yu Song: "The enemy army has broken the smoke attack with a wet cloth, is there a plan?"

Yu Song thought about it carefully and said to him: "You can order the soldiers to collect firewood, pour fire oil, use the shield soldiers as a cover, throw them near the city gate, shoot arrows and ignite them, and attack them with fire!"

Dewey obeyed the plan and ordered his soldiers to carry out a fire attack.

When the soldiers and horses of Chengzhou were killed under the city, Xu Yan said: "He wants to break through my city gate, don't let it get close." ”

So he ordered the rolling stones and trees to wait, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once.

Chengzhou's soldiers and horses attacked several times without success, so they could only retreat.

Dewey was very annoyed and said to Yu Song: "It's better to forcibly attack the city!"

So he personally led his troops to attack the city.

On the other side, Lu Cong's general Fu Lizhe arrived in Jiyang with his army division Guang Yixi and sent troops to Dan County, Han Chong led his troops to attack Yuetai, and Han Chao led his troops to attack Jilan.

Ouyang Chun led the three places and personally sat in Danjun to meet the enemy.

Liang Teng led the troops to guard and Lan, and Mi Yuansheng guarded the platform.

Fu Lizhe led his troops to Danjun, set up a formation outside the city, and shouted: "I have come by the order of the Son of Heaven, how dare you disobey the mandate of Heaven?

Brothers Wei Jing and Wei Yi turned their heads to look at Ouyang Chun.

Ouyang Chun smiled and said: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters of the people!" Emperor Shun holds the jade seal in his hand and sits in the imperial city. Emperor Wen has no jade seal, and he has not occupied the imperial city, let alone an edict, his name is not right, and he dares to call himself the Son of Heaven?"

"Bold!" said Fu Lizhe angrily, "what is the crime of committing the following crimes?"

"Emperor Wen's name is not right, and even his younger brother and sister are guilty!"

"Flim Flam!" Fu Lizhe shouted, "If you don't surrender, there will be no chickens and dogs left when the city is broken!"

Ouyang Chun smiled: "Try it!"

Fu Lizhe immediately led his troops to attack the city, Wei Yi personally led his troops to defend, and a large number of ballistas were launched in the city, with crossbowmen and archers shooting intensively.

Fu Lizhe rushed several times and was repulsed, and returned to the camp for the time being.

Guang Yixi said: "There are countless giant crossbows in the city, and their power is amazing. It's not easy to storm it!"

"Does the military advisor have a plan?" Fu Lizhe asked busily.

"Attack the heart!" Guang Yixi replied, "You can send people to shoot arrows and throw books, lure the enemy soldiers with fame and fortune, and attack the city while it is in civil strife!"

Fu Lizhe listened to the advice, led his troops to the city gate the next day, and shot countless letters with the content of persuasion into the city.

It's just that Ouyang Chun has already ordered that all arrows should be placed uniformly after they are collected, and they should not be omitted, and officials should be set up to supervise them. It's just putting something like that happens.

The arrows that had entered the city were concentrated, and all the letters were burned.

Guang Yixi couldn't make a plan, so he made another plan, and found someone to pretend to be a chamber of commerce and wanted to deceive the city gate at night.

It's just that the Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with Golden State, and arranges for intelligence officers to wiring, so you can see if it's true or not.

In the face of the local soldiers who came to deceive the city, Ouyang Chun did not fall for the plan, and drove him away with a burst of random arrows.

There was no progress in the siege.

I thought that Ning Ze was not there, and the hinterland of Jinzhou was empty, but who expected that the army would be blocked in Danjun and could not move forward.

Fu Lizhe was a little anxious, and said to Guang Yixi: "There seem to be capable people in the city, and it is not easy to break through!"

Guang Yixi thought about it carefully and said to him: "You can send someone to disguise the envoy of Yuetai County, deceive the enemy army in the name of asking for help, and defeat it in one fell swoop!"

So Fu Lizhe arranged for manpower, pretending to be an envoy from Yuetai County to come to the city, and shouted loudly: "Han Chong surrounded Yuetai County and stormed, and he couldn't support it!"

Wei Jing hurriedly said to Ouyang Chun: "If Yuetai County is lost, the barrier will be opened! ”

Ouyang Chun thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's the enemy's strategy!" What's more, Chu Xun is sitting in the rear, and Yuetai County is lost, he will also be affected, and he will not stand idly by. Our army only needs to hold on to Danjun and block the enemy's main force!"

Therefore it is ignored.

Seeing that the other party was not in a plan, Guang Yixi frowned: "Who is Ouyang Chun, who has continuously seen through my strategy?"

"Is there a good strategy for the military advisor?" asked Fu Lizhe.

"Hmm......" Guang Yixi lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and said, "Tonight, the general sent someone to ...... like this"

The next day, the defenders of Jinzhou suddenly saw countless ants appear on the ground outside the city.

It stands to reason that standing on a high wall, the ants are so small that they must not be visible.

But when countless ants gathered, the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was difficult to see it.

The most important thing is that these ants gather and form four big characters: "Ji Ji Si Chen." ”

The so-called chicken Sichen means that the hen announces the dawn. The metaphor of women stealing power and disrupting politics obviously refers to Liu Yuanxiang.

Why do ants suddenly appear and make up these four words?

Could it be that God spoke and condemned Princess Yuanxi?

When the soldiers reported the incident, the civil and military officials in the city were panicked and at a loss.

Ouyang Chun learned of this and rushed to the city wall to watch, and then ordered the army to prohibit the spread of rumors, and issued an official document: "The ants are now in words, but the enemy is a trick." Write in sugar water, and naturally ants gather!"

There were those who did not believe in their own experiments, and sure enough, the soldiers in the city put their hearts at ease, and the people suddenly realized.

Ouyang Chun ordered people to write on the city wall with sugar water.

The next day, Fu Lizhe led the troops and saw the ants gathering on the city wall, and the four big characters of "Puppet Emperor Liu De" were particularly dazzling.

Fu Lizhe was furious, and led his troops to attack despite his advice.

As a result, he was defeated, losing thousands of soldiers and horses and failing to climb the city wall.

When he returned to the camp and saw Guang Yixi, he sighed: "Danjun is difficult to break, and I am ashamed of Cheng Xinren!"

Guang Yixi said: "Generals need to be not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat." Today, the enemy is victorious, and he will take advantage of the situation to attack the camp at night. You can make arrangements early!"

Fu Lizhe listened to the advice and made preparations early.

In the middle of the night, Wei Yi really led his troops out of the city and attacked Fu Lizhe's camp.

Unexpectedly, the camp was empty, and suddenly ambushed the soldiers.

Wei Yi was defeated and tried to break through the siege and fled back to the city, suffering heavy losses.

After coming back, he pleaded guilty to Ouyang Chun: "The last general failed to attack the camp successfully, but was ambushed by the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses were damaged, so please ask the deputy military division to surrender!"

Ouyang Chun helped him up: "This battle is not the general's fault. Although I lost for a while tonight, it was fine. Just keep the city!"

"Whoa!"

Wei Jing stepped forward and asked, "Deputy Military Division, this plan can't be successful, but there is another way to retreat from the enemy?"

Ouyang Chun thought carefully, and then said: "I have a plan, maybe I can defeat the enemy army!"

Immediately whispered in Wei Jing's ear.

Wei Jing listened and nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Fu Lizhe's camp returned to the horse: "General, there are frequent movements of soldiers and horses near the east gate of Danjun, and at the same time, there are beam trucks looming. ”

Fu Lizhe hurriedly asked Guang Yixi.

Guang Yixi's eyes lit up, and he said to him: "Presumably, there must be a grain transport team coming from the east, and the other party needs to send troops into the city." If you send troops and horses to ambush them and intercept their grain carts, you will surely win a great victory!"

Fu Lizhe was overjoyed and arranged it immediately.
