Zhang Lang said: "Sima Yi is cunning and full of scheming, looking at his marching style over the years, he particularly highlights the word "stability", so although Fengxiao's plan is wonderful, it can only disperse some of his troops and slightly ease the pressure on Huaixian. But fortunately, Yu Ban is a big problem, although Yu Ban is a little mediocre in his strategy, but the siege brigade commanded by him is a difficult bone to gnaw. It can be regarded as a loss of Dongyu and a collection of Fusang. ”

Guo Jia said disapprerovingly: "Let people pretend to be the lord, and the subordinates have no illusions that Sima Yi will withdraw so easily, as long as he can have a trace of doubt, he has already achieved his goal." What's more, he still supported the wolf king who commanded the wolves. It's already a big deal. The next thing is the real clash of wisdom, and success or failure is entirely here. ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a while and said: "This is a dangerous move, if you don't do it, it will really wipe out the whole army." ”

Guo Jia said confidently: "Since the independent public mobilization of troops, there have been countless chess pieces to win in danger, where will it be worse this time." ”

Zhang Lang smiled dumbly, thinking about it, he really has some habits of winning in every difficult situation, and there are many strange soldiers, but every time he is lucky, he has the last laugh. But now that I meet Sima Yi, who is known for his "steady" march, I wonder if it can still work? In Zhang Lang's view, all conspiracies and tricks, in the face of strong strength, everything is in vain. However, although there is a gap between the strength of himself and Sima Yi, it has not yet reached the point of world difference, so if this trick is used well, it can turn the tide of the battle, and if it is not used well, it is to dig a grave for himself.

Zhang Lang said to Gao Ran and Huang Gai with a serious face: "Early tomorrow morning, the east and west gates will be opened, and there is no need to send people to guard the gates. ”

As soon as Zhang Lang's words ended, Huang Gai, who was old and heavy, couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord, I can't help it, the north and south gates have been broken, and they haven't been repaired yet. ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Old General Huang, you better listen to me first." ”

Huang Gai glanced at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu quickly, and when he saw that they were calm and relaxed, he couldn't help but understand, obediently closed his mouth, and listened quietly.

Zhang Lang didn't say the point, but asked Huang Gai first: "General Huang, how is your recovery from your injuries?" ”

Huang Gai originally wanted to listen to Zhang Lang's tricks, but he didn't expect him to care about his injury, and he was very moved. ”

Zhang Lang sighed helplessly: "Although I am eclectic and do whatever I want, with the infinite expansion of the territory, I finally feel that some people are short of manpower." If there are still a few generals under it, I really don't want to tire the old general. ”

Huang Gai was moved and angry when he heard it, and he almost wanted to show Zhang Lang the double whip dance on the spot.

Zhang Lang said solemnly: "Okay, General Huang, you take a thousand men and horses to guard the east gate, and Gao Ran you also take a thousand men and horses to guard the west gate, if my guess is correct, Sima Yi will definitely not dare to rush in with a large army easily." Instead, a small team will be sent in to test it. At this time, you must pay attention to the fact that you must not weaken the military might, plant more flags and set up more drummers in the east and west gates, and you must show your morale and combat effectiveness. If you can do that, then our opportunity has come. ”

Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and his eyes were full of joy. But then I thought about it and glanced at it, obviously I didn't understand what Zhang Lang meant. In the end, Huang Gai asked: "The subordinates are ignorant, and they don't understand the intentions of the lord, and the lord wants to ......."

Zhang Lang smiled faintly, his mouth turned up slightly, he asked instead of answering: "In Sima Yi's eyes, our Huaixian defense can not last for three days at most, and there is the illusion that I am not present, at this time we suddenly opened the city gate, what do you think they will think?" ”

Huang Gai pondered for a while, and then said briskly: "That shows that our army wants to let the enemy army into the city and fight to the death." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and then said, "That's right." If I were in Huaixian, no matter what the price Sima Yi took, I think he would not hesitate to order the soldiers to attack the city. But at this time, I have successfully created the illusion of escaping Huaixian, so will Sima Yi attack Huaixian County at all costs? Don't forget, there are still Kekou and Zhangshui behind him who are always under the watchful eye of our army. ”

Huang Gai's eyes flashed, he seemed to have some clues, and said excitedly: "My subordinates estimate that Sima Yi doesn't have the guts, if our army puts on a desperate posture, Sima Yi must have some scruples, otherwise even if he succeeds in eliminating the Huaixian garrison, he will pay a heavy price, in this way, not to mention supporting the defense line of Pukou and Zhangshui, the defense of Tianjing Pass will immediately have flaws." ”

Zhang Lang said proudly: "Yes, this is the difference between me in Huai County and not in Huai County." In this way, Sima Yi will definitely not rush to attack with all his might, and will only send a few small troops into the city to check the situation before deciding how to act next. ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he frowned and said, "Open the east and west gates, what about the north and south gates?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "The situation of the north and south gates is just the opposite of the east and west gates, the east and west gates first show weakness, and then raise their posture, thinking that there are heavy guards to deter Sima's army; The north and south gates were also weak at first, but when they were weak, they were weak, and when they were strong, they were strong. Heavy troops were stationed inside, and except for the regular troops defending the city, all the troops were transferred to these two places to block Sima Yi. ”

Huang Gai doubted: "What if Sima Yi sees through the mystery and forcibly attacks the east and west?" Our army's plan has failed, and I am afraid that the situation will not be easy to clean up at that time. ”

Zhang Lang said calmly: "Winning by surprise, where is there anyone who does not take risks." If he can survive tomorrow, Sima Yi will inevitably be more scruples in the future, and he will shrink back in the marching arrangement, thinking about the future and the future. ”

Huang Gai was a little uneasy and said, "Lord, why do your subordinates feel a little uneasy?" ”

At this time, Guo Jia, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Old General Huang is also justified in worrying, after all, there is a great risk in doing this, but if you don't do this, you will not be able to get rid of the predicament of Huaixian at all, and you will not be able to create favorable conditions for Ling Tong and Lu Meng to attack Pukou." Sima Yi is not the kind of person who looks ahead and backwards, but he will think twice about everything he does. The lord's move is unconventional, and Sima Yi will inevitably hesitate to create favorable conditions for us. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lang shook his head and sighed: "This is also a way out of the way, now our troops are at a disadvantage, we can only concentrate firepower and attack a little." However, what I am worried about now is that even if we can really transfer Sima Dajun to the north and south gates, it will not be long before Sima Yi will definitely guess our intentions and make corresponding changes. ”

Guo Jia said: "This is an inevitable thing, the lord said this, and the second plan is involved." ”

Zhang Lang nodded solemnly and said: "If the first step is planned, attract the main force of Cao Bing into the city, carry out ambushes, street battles, and use all the means we are good at to eat away at the enemy army, although Cao Bing has an advantage in strength, it will definitely not be shown in a short period of time." Then an external force is needed to break this equilibrium. ”

Gao Ran was a little excited: "What external force? ”

Zhang Lang smiled and didn't speak, just looked at Guo Jia, and then took a sip of water to moisten his somewhat dry and wet throat.

Guo Jia understood what Zhang Lang meant, and continued: "Cheng Pu has led 5,000 soldiers to rush up from Chenggao for reinforcements. Before dark, you can rush to Huai County. ”

Huang Gai was overjoyed and said, "When did General Cheng set off, why didn't we have any news beforehand?" ”

Guo Jia saw Huang Gai's joyful eyebrows, and was also infected by his excitement: "When the lord made up his mind to defend Chenggao, he had already sent a secret order to Chenggao in the starry night, and the reason why you didn't know until now was that I didn't want the news to leak out too early, and let Sima Yi be prepared." ”

Cheng Yu, who had not answered, finally spoke: "Cheng Pu, these 5,000 centaurs, say not much, say less, but if you use it well, you can get the effect of a surprise soldier." When Sima Yi's main army was pinned down in the city and the main camp of the Chinese army was empty, he suddenly killed Cao Jun's Dazhai, although he couldn't do anything to Sima Yi, but at least it would scare Sima Yi into a cold sweat. ”

Gao Ran clapped his hands fiercely and said loudly: "In this way, Sima Yi will no longer have all his strength to attack my Huai County, and the lord will not have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Langle laughed twice and didn't speak.

Next, Zhang Lang discussed the details of the melee in the city with Gao Lan, Huang Gai, Qiao Rui and other generals.

Early the next morning, Huaixian once again sounded the horn of the siege, and the Cao Bing siege brigade had already set off. However, after several days of bloody fighting, the Jiangdong Army has become completely accustomed to this tense and tense atmosphere. All the people who were mobilized were orderly and calm.

Sima Yi rode on a tall and handsome horse, followed by more than a dozen tall athletes. Behind is a dense army of Cao soldiers, gray smoke billowing out, flags fluttering in the wind, and the mountains are full of black oppression.

Just when Sima Yi was full of ambition and high spirits, a partial general hurriedly came up and shattered his dream of winning Huaixian in one go. The partial general said: "My lord, the Jiangdong Army suddenly opened the east and west gates, and there were no soldiers guarding the city. There is also no trace of people in sight at the north and south gates, and the situation is quite strange. ”

The generals behind Sima Yi looked surprised, and one of them opened his throat excitedly and said: "My lord, it must be that the Jiangdong Army can't resist the attack of our army, and it is about to open the city and surrender." ”

Although Sima Yi's face was still very calm, a trace of surprise flashed uncontrollably in his eyes, he completely ignored the language that was almost idiot, waved his horsewhip, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go forward and take a look." ”

The general was bored with himself, and obediently followed Sima Yi with a group of people to the front-line position.

Sima Yi stopped a stone's throw away from Huaixian County, squinted his eyes and looked at the situation at the East Gate, and sure enough, it was exactly as the scout said. There was no figure in the entire city defense, as if the Jiangdong Army had evaporated from Huaixian overnight, without a trace. This is in stark contrast to the war scenes of the previous few days, in which they fought for heaven and earth and fought desperately.

"Strange, how can this be? Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, what are they doing? Sima Yi muttered to himself.

Zhu Hu didn't want to let go of this opportunity to perform, and said exaggeratedly: "My lord, this should be a suspicious plan of the enemy, and I want to deter our army by pretending to be a ghost, so don't be fooled." ”

There is a general who obviously wants to pat Sima Yi on the back and said: "Of course, adults are resourceful, how can they be fooled." ”

Sima Yi said: "The enemy general Guo Jia has always been known for his intrigues, and now he must have a plan to open the city gate like this." They want to trick us into the city and fight to the death. ”

Zhu Hu said: "My lord is reasonable. ”

Sima Yi pondered for a while and said: "Since you want to fight to the death with our army, Guo Jia will inevitably gather the forces of the middle and choose one or two main battlefields. But since they don't have the advantage of troops, they will naturally try to make up for it. The gates of the east, west, north and south were wide open, just to distract our soldiers who had entered Huaixian, so that they could bully more and less. In this way, two or three of the four gates must be loopholes. ”

Zhu Hu hurriedly patted his ass and said, "My lord, this should be the case." ”

Sima Yi ignored Zhu Hu's flattery, and ordered in a deep voice: "Zhu Hu, Zu Lang, Geng Ji, and Jiao Bing will listen to the order. ”

The four generals who were ordered by Sima Yi responded together: "The last general." ”

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "You each lead a thousand men and horses, Zhu Hu enters the east gate, Zu Lang goes to the west gate, Geng Ji kills the south gate, and Jiao Bing rushes to the north gate." At this time, it is your first task to find out the strength of the enemy's army, and you must not fall in love with war. When it's done, you're done. ”

The four generals should shout at the same time, and walk away majestically.

When it was young, several cannons rang out, and a few men and horses were killed in Cao's camp and flew towards the gates of Huai County.

Zhu Hu entered the east gate, Zu Lang went to the west gate, and rushed to the city without any obstruction. Looking up, there were ethereal traces of people everywhere, there was no movement, just when the two were puzzled, suddenly the sound of cannons, the golden drum three links, the Jiangdong army that had been waiting in ambush for a long time rushed out from the streets, corners, houses, eaves and other places, and all directions were Jiangdong soldiers wielding battle armor and holding weapons. Zhu Hu and Zu Lang looked around, the flags were fluttering everywhere, the sky was full of red, and there were overwhelming war drums and horns in their ears. The Jiangdong Army's hoarse shouts rushed in, with momentum like a rainbow, like tens of thousands of people shouting in unison.

Zhu Hu and Zu Lang were stunned, and secretly complained in their hearts, turned around and pulled out their horses and left.
