"What?"

Ding Chen couldn't react for a while, who was the 'Metropolitan Governor' in Li Su's mouth.

Li Su smiled bitterly: "The governor of Huaxiong stole the camp and robbed the village last night, and he didn't want to fall for Sun Jian's tricks, so he was killed by Sun Jian in Yangrenguan. ”

Hiss--

Ding Chen gasped and was stunned.

Yesterday afternoon, they also received news from Huaxiong from Yangrenguan, saying that the situation was stable and the battle in Yangrenguan was going well.

Why did the situation change all of a sudden overnight?

Ding Chen took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Why is this happening?"

According to the soldiers who fled back from Yangrenguan, a few days ago, Sun Jian's military Sima, Huang Gai, the grain supervisor, defected and surrendered to the governor. Huang Gai said that Yuan Highway was narrow-minded and couldn't see Sun Jian's meritorious service, so he secretly withheld grain and grass.

There was a shortage of grain and grass in the camp, and Huang Gai had to reduce his rations, which was discovered by Sun Jian.

Sun Jian didn't ask the reason, and hit Huang Gai with a stick, almost killing him. Huang Gai felt humiliated and surrendered to the governor. He offered advice to the governor of Dadu, saying that there was a shortage of grain and grass in Sun Jian's camp, and the army's morale was unstable. He has a few henchmen in Sun Jian's army, who are taking care of grain and grass. As long as the governor is willing, they can cooperate with the outside and burn the grain and grass in the army......

The governor was convinced, so he led his troops to steal the camp and rob the village.

But that Sun Jian had already prepared, and most of the governors were ambushed, and they were even killed by Sun Jian, and the Yangren Pass was not attacked......"

Help!

Ding Chen couldn't help but shake his head again and again after hearing this.

I have heard for a long time that the Jiangdong tiger is brave, and I never thought that it would be so cunning and resourceful.

Previously, his son Sun Ce had designed to kill Hu Zhen, and now Hua Xiong was also killed...... This father and son are very powerful.

The loss of Yangren Pass means that Xingyang is no longer in danger.

Ding Chen quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Where are the rebels now?" ”

"According to the scouts, Sun Jian has already converged with the vanguard army of Zhang Miao's coalition army, and I believe that his soldiers and horses will arrive soon."

Soldiers, you are fast!

Since Sun Jian is a person who knows soldiers and has a plan, he must know this very well.

He will not stay in Yangren Pass for too long, and he will definitely quickly send troops to come and pursue him with victory.

Ding Chen swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "The morale of the rebels is high, while our side is panicking. We must try to defeat the momentum of the rebels, otherwise the troops will fall into the city, which will inevitably demoralize the soldiers and horses in our city even more. ”

"I thought so too."

Li Su looked at Ding Chen and said, "But I don't know, what is Ziyang's plan?" ”

What can I do for a while?

Ding Chen wandered in the courtyard, and after a while, he stopped and said, "I have a plan, but I'm not sure. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"Xingyang has now become an isolated city.

However, the city has high walls and thick walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack...... Gong Ke led his troops to defend the city, and I led the cavalry out of the city and hid in the Fuxi Mountain. When the rebels arrived, I attacked from behind. When you see the fire, you can go out of the city to respond, and you and I can win a complete victory. ”

After listening to Ding Chen's words, Li Su was first overjoyed, and then showed a suspicious expression.

He looked at Ding Chen, hesitated and said, "Ziyang, don't you want to escape?" ”

"Run?"

Ding Chen smiled bitterly: "Where am I going?"

I just got the prime minister's reward, if I flee without a fight, can you say that the prime minister can spare me? Besides, my sister and nephew are both in Luoyang, and Cao Apu can ignore them, but I can't ignore them. How could he escape alone? ”

"Ah, I blamed Ziyang by mistake."

Li Su also knew something about Ding Chen.

He hurriedly apologized, and then frowned: "However, the rebels are strong.

As far as I know, how did Zhang Miao's 150,000 rebels, plus Sun Jian's troops, nearly 200,000, win all in one battle? ”

"I'm not talking about the rebels as a whole, I'm talking about his vanguard army."

Ding Chen said: "With Xingyang as a lonely city, there are only 20,000 people, how can you confront the rebels?"

I mean, take out their vanguard first, beat their momentum, boost the morale of our army, and then deal with them.

Of course, he also asked Li Jun to send someone to send the bad news of the metropolitan governor to Luoyang and report it to the prime minister.

We are here to deal with the rebels for the time being, and I believe that the prime minister will act soon, and then we will make a claim. ”

It sounds like there's only one way to do it!

Although Li Su is a general in the tiger book, he has always been engaged in civil affairs.

He is not good at marching and fighting, and he even has a little difficulty in making plans. What he is good at is specific things, and the three-inch tongue in his mouth. I think that at the beginning, Lu Bu was rampant under the city of Luoyang, but he was persuaded by Li Su to surrender.

"In this case, then please Ziyang."

It's dangerous in the city, but it's much safer and more comfortable than outside.

"In addition, I left Gao Shun in the city, and the trappers stayed with me to protect the safety of the public.

I ask you to send 3,000 cavalry with me out of the city, and without further ado, we must make arrangements before the rebels are aware of it. ”

Ding Chen was also polite and ordered loudly.

Li Su's heart is a lot more stable.

The trapper is Ding Chen's pro-army, and Gao Shun is his confidant.

Ding Chen's retention of Gao Shun and the trappers further proved that he did not want to flee in a cowardly fight.

"Ziyang, wait a minute, I'll prepare."

Li Su left in a hurry, and Ding Chen returned to the lobby.

When I walked into the lobby, I saw Jia Xu sitting there with a leisurely expression.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, I'm so comfortable." ”

"Hehe, it's not to be comfortable, but to seek calmness."

Jia Xu stood up, walked to Ding Chen's side, and said in a low voice, "It's all planned?" ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what, Hua Xiong was beheaded, don't you know about it?"

"It's not because of you, I've said over and over again, don't expose your existence.

Li Su asked me for advice just now, but it made me feel embarrassed. I was so anxious by him that I had to offer a plan, but I didn't know whether it was good or bad. ”

According to Ding Chen's idea, he wanted Jia Xu to pick up the gaps.

No, Jia Xu didn't even ask, and said, "It's so good, you can come up with a way, that's a good thing."

Ziyang, as a general, needs to have self-confidence.

Now that you've figured out a solution, you have to believe in yourself. Whether it is successful or not, just go to the test, don't rely on others for everything. ”

Ding Chen looked at Jia Xu and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Sir, how can you play at this critical time?"

"It's not child's play...... Jia Xu's eyes were deep, and he said softly: "Ziyang, didn't you ask me why I didn't want to show off?" Then I can tell you, I'm waiting for a chance. I want to know if Dong Zhuo is worthy of my advice for him.

Now, this Xingyang is an opportunity.

I believe it won't be long before we see ......"

"What do you mean?"

Ding Chen was a little puzzled, showing a blank look.

Jia Xu closed his mouth and shook his head at him with a smile.

"If you want to know, do what is in front of you.

When you return victorious, I will set up a wine and tell you about it. ”

As he was talking, Li Su walked in from outside.

Jia Xu immediately sighed and said to Ding Chen: "General Ding, the grain, grass and armor trapped in the camp need to be replenished as soon as possible, and we have suffered heavy losses in Hucheng Pavilion, so we must replenish manpower as soon as possible." Just now, Lao Gao also said that it takes 600 Ruishi to be full. ”

"Wenhe, leave this matter to me.

Later, you let Gao Sima go to each battalion to choose, and as long as it is something you see, you will be included in the trapping camp...... I still have important matters to discuss with General Ding, you hold my token, just choose, and pull away the required armor and baggage. ”

Li Su was in a hurry to discuss with Ding Chen about sending troops, so when he talked to Jia Xu, he was not very polite.

After all, as a tiger general, he is a real two thousand stones.

And Jia Xu is just the main bookkeeper, how can he compare with him? Besides, it is not impossible for the trappers to stay in Xingyang City and strengthen their strength. Gao Shun didn't have many people, six hundred, which was not enough in Li Su's opinion.

Jia Xu hurriedly bowed down and agreed, but when he retreated, he and Ding Chen glanced at each other and showed an extremely strange smile.

Ding Chen reacted immediately, and the number of soldiers in the battle was full of 800.

After the first battle of Hucheng Pavilion, there were still more than 450 people trapped in the battle, why did you choose 600 people?

However, he didn't say anything, but nodded at Jia Xu, "This matter is hard work, let's ask you and Lao Gao to worry a lot about the affairs of the camp." ”

"Whoa!"

Jia Xu saluted again and exited the hall.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Jia Xu left, Li Su said impatiently: "Ziyang, you have already been ordered, you can act at any time." ”

Ding Chen could see that Li Su was really in a hurry.

So, he didn't shirk it, and said, "In that case, I'll go out of the city at once."

The affairs of the city were entrusted to Li Jun. If there is something, you can ask Gao Shun for help, he still knows a lot about military affairs. ”

"Ziyang, please take care."

Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Ding Chen.

Ding Chen walked out of the mansion quickly, and saw that Hu Che'er was already waiting outside.

He held the claw lightning in his hand, and when he saw Ding Chen come out, he knelt on one leg.

Ding Chen was also not polite, stepped on his leg and turned over on the horse, then took the reins, and said to Hu Che'er: "Let's go to the school field." ”

"Whoa!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With Li Su's approval, things naturally became very smooth.

Don't look at Ding Chen as Sima in charge of military affairs, but in Xingyang City, he is far from being able to compare with Li Su's prestige.

Fortunately, when selecting the cavalry, there were no thorns.

In this way, he led 3,000 cavalry troops to quietly leave the city and go straight to Fuxi Mountain in the south of Xingyang County.

Fuxi Mountain has existed since ancient times.

It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas: the morning rises and falls, the smoke is filled, the thousands of acres are blank, the peaks and peaks are exposed, the smoke moves the peaks, such as the birds floating in the water and playing...... Wonders of the world!

Fuxi Mountain, also got its name from this.

As early as the Xia Dynasty, the summer capital was built here.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was also known as 'the danger of Kyushu, the eastern barrier of Luoyang'.

There are many caves in the mountain, there are more than 100 of them, each with its own characteristics, and it is strange and strange. The whole Fuxi Mountain is composed of one hundred and eight handsome peaks, the strange rocks are craggy, and the roads in the mountains are more complicated, not to mention 3,000 people, that is, 30,000 people are hidden in the mountains, and no one can perceive them.

After Ding Chen led his troops into Fuxi Mountain, he found a valley in the mountain and let the soldiers and horses hide in it.

In this floating mountain, the scenery is pleasant.

Outside the mountain, the heat is unbearable, but the mountain is breezy.

Ding Chen didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountain, so he directly summoned the scout army and ordered him to go out of the mountain to reconnoiter the movements of the rebels.

The marquis of the scout army didn't look very old.

In front of Ding Chen, he looked a little restrained.

"What's your name?"

"The last general, Pound."

Pound...... Good name. ”

Ding Chen nodded and stepped forward to hug Pang De's shoulder.

This military marquis is not low, although he is a little immature, but he exudes a heroic spirit.

"How old are you?"

"The last general is sixteen years old this year."

"Sixteen, good! When I was sixteen years old, I had already fought on the battlefield with my brother and beheaded Zhang Bao in the chaos.

You're just the right age. ”

Ding Chen said, lowered his voice and said, "Listen, I want you to take people to Yangren Pass to reconnoiter the movements of the rebels." You have to find out where the rebel vanguard came from, how many people it were, and who the main commander was...... Once you've figured it out, come back and report it immediately. ”

When Pound heard this, he immediately solemnly accepted the order.

"The last general understands!"

"Alright, let's go...... Be careful, go to Mo to expose the line. ”

"Whoa!"

Pang De took the order, and Ding Chen watched him lead the scout army out of the valley and disappear into the distance.

After Pang De left, Ding Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation has become what it is today, which is indeed somewhat unexpected to him.

Huaxiong was killed, Xingyang lost the protection of Yangren Pass, and it is not yet known whether it can withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels.

He didn't care, though.

Alone, he walked up a hill and sat on the top of the hill and let the mountain breeze blow.

Jia Xu said, is he waiting for the opportunity? What kind of time are you waiting for? Also, he said that there will be results soon, what kind of results will it be? As soon as he thought of this, Ding Chen felt a little heavy, and his heart was even more dazed.
