Zhang Lang patted Bian Hong's shoulder with his hand, forcibly held back the disdain in his heart, and said with a smile: "A good bird chooses a tree to perch, this general is really wise, you can rest assured, one day when I Zhang Lang is here, I will never treat you badly." ”

Bian Hong was overjoyed, hurriedly saluted Zhang Lang, and said with a flattering face: "Thank you for the grace of the general." Then he slapped his ass and said: "The general is dignified and extraordinary, and he is really a dragon among people." It is no wonder that since the army started in Xuzhou, it only took a few years to become famous, and the town of Weizhen Quartet can be described as a young success. What is even more rare and commendable is that the general is eager to be virtuous and courteous to the corporal, which is a generation of masters. Bian Hong's ability to follow the general Rongma battlefield is a blessing from his previous life, and he is willing to follow the general to the knife mountain in the future, get off the oil pot, and never give up. ”

Zhang Lang frowned, Bian Hong is really a sycophant, this kind of sycophant, like a grass on the wall, is unreliable at all. However, in order not to chill the hearts of those who surrendered, Zhang Lang still deliberately pretended to be pleasant and encouraged.

Sun Yi stroked his chest, blood oozed from his fingers, his chest kept rising and falling, his face was very pale, he gasped and scolded angrily: "You villain...... Before he finished scolding, he rolled his eyes and fell into the arms of his own soldiers, killing him on the spot.

And there were only a dozen or so soldiers left behind Sun Yi Seeing that their master was dead, they rushed up like crazy, wanting to kill Bian Hong and avenge Sun Yi. Zhang Lang's subordinates flew out, blocked them, and killed them all mercilessly.

Only then did Zhang Lang comfort the frightened Bian Hong, and asked Xu Huang to command the soldiers to clean up the mess, and he led the Eagle Guard and the civil officials to leave.

Soon statistics came out, in this battle of Xiyang, a total of 3,000 soldiers were killed before and after, and nearly 8,000 were disabled, and the losses were not small. But compared to the significance after the victory, this is nothing, taking Xiyang City is equivalent to completely separating the connection between Pei County and Runan County, isolating Pei County, allowing Zhang Liao's troops to take over calmly. It also directly faces one of the three major defense strongholds in the east of Runan County, Pu County.

Zhang Lang had been staring at the map on the case for a long time, and Guo Jia and the others were also accompanying him, and there was silence in the Xiyang County Mansion.

After a long time, Zhang Lang slowly exhaled and said, "Next, Xiyang City will become a transit station for our army, and the strategic location is quite important, so it must be strictly guarded." ”

Guo Jia said: "It is not easy to prevent not only the armies of Xinyang and Puxian, but also the attack from Pei County from behind." ”

Xu Huang stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "The military advisor doesn't have to worry, Huang is willing to worry about the main centimeter, Sun Ce's total strength is only tens of thousands, as long as he can give the last general 10,000 soldiers and horses, he will be able to ensure that Xiyang is not lost." ”

Zhang Lang pondered: "Now there are 30,000 horses in Gaoshun, and I originally had 30,000 horses here, but after the battle of Xiyang, I have lost nearly 10,000 combat effectiveness. So I think it's better for me to guard this place. And Gongming and Huang Xushu will lead 20,000 soldiers to rush to Puxian, hold some of Sun Ce's army, and relieve a little burden on Gaoshun's troops. As long as Puxian and Xincai can be opened, Runan will be surrounded. ”

Xu Huang's face was resolute and said: "Don't worry, the lord will not live up to his trust." ”

Zhang Lang patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Don't worry, from east to west, Xinyang, Puxian, and Xincai are three points and one line, and if Runan County is considered to be the front line, then Xiyang City is where the rear base camp is located, several cities and counties are in a geometric shape, and Xiyang City can also support you at any time." ”

Xu Huang hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord." ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said: "I'm afraid that Zhou Yu and Lu Su are scheming, you accidentally fell into their way, and you ordered Fengxiao and Zhongde to set off with you, and at the same time, I have ordered Xu Shu to intervene 10,000 horses to support Xiyang, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Zhang Lang explained some more things before he said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, take care of it, you lead the soldiers to set off overnight, move closer to Puxian and Xincai, and prepare to support Gaoshun and them as soon as possible." ”

Xu Huang said respectfully: "My subordinates understand. ”

That night, Xu Huang and Guo Jia led 20,000 soldiers to march to Puxian.

Zhang Lang, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and others led less than 10,000 remnants of soldiers and soldiers, and stationed troops in Xiyang.

After anxiously waiting for a few days, news finally came from Gao Shun's side.

As expected, when Gao Shun stormed Xincai, he was met with unprecedented resistance, and the offensive and defensive battles were carried out quite hard. The battle situation was unfavorable for a long time, and Sun Cefang led the army of Lu Su, the capital governor who succeeded Zhou Yu in the Eastern Wu era, and his subordinate army was the Yellow Turban Army led by Liu Pi and Gong Du.

In fact, it was confirmed that Guo Jia's guess in Shouchun was correct, and Sun Ce's troops were indeed transferred back halfway.

Lusu, who guarded Xincai, although the Yellow Turban Army was only about 10,000, was several times worse than Gaoshun, and there was a distance in training and equipment, but with the help of a strong city, favorable terrain, and various changes, the Gaoshun troops returned in vain several times. The situation of the war could not be opened for a long time.

If this is the case, it is fine, but the danger is that Zhang Lang's troops wasted a lot of time when they captured Xiyang City, and the troops did not come up in time to form an echo. Unconsciously, the 20,000 soldiers led by Sun Ce left Pu County, surrounded from the flanks, and attacked Gao Shun on both sides.

The 30,000 troops led by Gao Shun can be said to be in an unprecedented major crisis. If Xu Huang's army can't come up in time, I'm afraid that Gao Shun's army may be defeated.

This is precisely what Zhang Lang is most worried about, and it is also the intention of sending Guo Jia, with his skillful hands, hoping to turn things around at the most critical time.

Another thing that worries me is that Zhou Yu led Huang Gai and Cheng Pu 10,000 soldiers, and he is still missing, this potential uneasy factor makes him uneasy, and he has never known what tricks Zhou Yu will make, but one thing is for sure, he will definitely not be in Jiangxia now.

Zhang Lang didn't smell the tea and rice for a few days, and he didn't know the taste.

At this time, Zhang Lang and Tian Feng looked squarely at the military situation, and a soldier hurriedly ran over and said: "Report to the lord, there is news from the front front, General Gao failed to capture Xincai, but was besieged by Lu Su and Sun Ce Qingwuling, and several generals were broken, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded. ”

Tian Feng was shocked and said, "The situation is not good. ”

Zhang Lang asked the soldier urgently: "What about Xu Huang's troops?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "My subordinates are not clear. ”

Zhang Lang stomped his feet again and again, and said angrily: "How did Gao Shun fail? ”

The soldier said: "When General Gao besieged Xincai, he saw that the enemy army was difficult and the enemy general was proficient in the art of war, so he divided into three strange troops, detoured all the way, and planned to raid from the rear; Garrisoned all the way to Dazhai, beating drums day and night, the soldiers practiced strictly, so as to confuse the enemy, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers, lightly armored uniforms, obliquely inserted into Liyang, and forced Runan, wanting to knock on the mountain and town of the tiger, forcing the enemy troops in Xincai and Puxian to retreat, and surrender the defense line. But I don't want Sun Ce to lead the men and horses to kill, in the area of Liyang, was ambushed by the enemy, 10,000 light infantry, under the opponent's cavalry team back and forth twice, it was crushed, General Gao led the remnants of the defeated generals, all the way out of the enemy's encirclement, pursuit, blockage, robbery, retreat to Qingwu Ridge. After the other two groups of men and horses got the news, they immediately asked General Chen Wu to lead 10,000 horses to support. But he didn't want Lu Su to send out the whole army that night to attack Xu Sheng's troops, and General Xu Sheng was caught off guard, defeated and retreated, and withdrew thirty miles away from Xincai. ”

Tian Feng sighed again and again: "Although Gao Shun's plan is unexpected, it is extremely risky. This Lu Su is also very powerful, he can see through Gao Shun's move, he can catch it, and he sees the move, now it seems that it is unlikely that Chen Wu's troops will be able to support it smoothly, how can it be good? ”

Contrary to Tian Feng's surprise and uneasiness, Zhang Lang said very calmly: "What about Xu Huang's army, what is the movement?" ”

The soldier said: "After General Xu Huang heard the news, he discussed with Guo Junshi, and sent people to Xincai, asking Xu Sheng's troops to gather from Xincai, not to mess up their own positions, and to closely monitor every move of the enemy army in Xincai, and not to let Lu Su follow Chen Wu's troops and chase after them." At the same time, General Xu's troops were divided into two routes, led by Huang Xu, with 5,000 men and horses, and rushed to Puxian. He himself and Guo Junshi led 15,000 soldiers to support Qiyang. ”

Tian Feng exhaled and said, "I hope Xu Huang can come in time, God bless Gao Shun not to have anything happen." ”

Zhang Lang said to the soldiers: "Immediately send the order, I will hold an emergency meeting." ”

Not long after, the generals gathered in the county government, Zhang Lang explained the general matter, and then asked everyone to discuss.

Just when everyone was talking, another soldier brought unfavorable news: Chen Wuling's 10,000 soldiers failed to support Gao Shun, and he actually blocked Sun Quan's less than 5,000 soldiers halfway.

Zhang Lang said with a bitter face: "Fu Hao, I really guessed it for you." ”

Tian Feng's face was changing, and finally exclaimed: "Lord, it's not good, Gao Shun is in danger." ”

Zhang Lang was shocked: "Although Chen Wu is missing all the soldiers and horses, Xu Huang has all supported him, and it shouldn't be a problem to insist on ten days and eight days with Gao Shun's ability." ”

Tian Feng shook his hand again and again: "The question is, can Xu Huang really arrive?" Didn't the lord always worry that Zhou Yu's troops didn't appear? Maybe he's just waiting for that time. ”

Zhang Lang's face was shocked on the spot and said: "If it is really as Fu Hao said, then once Xu Huang is blocked, and Gao Shun doesn't want to ......?" ”

Tian Feng sighed again and again, stomping back and forth, his heart extremely anxious.

Zhang Lang decisively ordered: "Immediately send someone with my words and ask Mao Ying and Mao Jie's troops to move closer to Xincai as soon as possible." ”

After a soldier received the order, Zhang Lang was very annoyed and asked Tian Feng, "Fu Hao, what should I do next?"

Tian Feng frowned and said, "Now I can only hope that Xu Huang's troops can get rid of the enemy army and support Gao Shun in time." ”

Zhao Yunjian raised his eyebrows, immediately came out of the ranks, and said a little indifferently: "Is it just resigned to fate?" ”

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, is it difficult for the lord to send out all the old and weak soldiers in Xiyang City?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Why can't this be, you can't see death without help." ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Not to mention the soldiers of Xiyang City, even if they can be sent out, in terms of time, it will be too late." ”

Zhao Yundao: "It's man-made, how do you know if you haven't tried it?" ”
