"At present, there is no news from our army's spies in Chang'an, but our army must also be ready to go on the expedition, 100,000 stone grain and grass have been transported to Wuguan to standby, and the corresponding baggage is also being shipped, this time I will personally lead 20,000 troops out of Wuguan to attack Chang'an!"

Speaking of this, Qin Feng glanced at all the generals and asked, "I wonder which general is willing to go with me on the expedition?" ”

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

"Humble duty, please die!"

"Lord, how can this war be without Gan Ning?"

As soon as Qin Feng's words fell, the generals stood up one after another to ask for battle, but none of them were left behind.

As a military general, the highlight of life is galloping on the field, which is the best way to reflect the value of a general's existence, What is the use of raising a general who does not want to fight? What's the use of a general who doesn't want to study how to lead his troops, how to fight?

At this moment, none of the generals present hesitated, and all of them stood up.

Qin Feng's eyes swept over the generals and said: "It is important to fight in the front, but it is also very important to guard our nest in the rear, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others are not dead, from time to time they play conspiracy and tricks, or they directly send troops to threaten, if they learn that our army sent troops to attack Chang'an, I am afraid that Cao Cao and Liu Biao will not sit idly by, especially Cao Lao, if I attack Chang'an, how can he not send troops to attack my Nanyang, and come to surround Wei to save Zhao?" ”

"Therefore, there must be someone left at home, this time I only took 20,000 people, Huang Hansheng and Lu Ziming went with me to Chang'an, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all left to watch the house, after we left, Mr. Yang presided over the government affairs, and Mr. Yan was responsible for the logistics of the army! Militarily, it is presided over by Mr. Yuan Zhi, especially pay attention to the direction of Yecheng and the several passes where Luoyang and my Nanyang are handed over, Cao Cao may come up with a poisonous plan to attack the enemy with a false way! ”

This time to attack Chang'an, Cao Cao is likely to send troops to Chang'an reinforcements, and the reinforced soldiers and horses may suddenly turn to march south in Luoyang, and after passing the pass, they will go straight to the hinterland of Nanyang, which is entirely possible!

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Xu Shu and others stood up and saluted: "Obey the order!" ”

Qin Feng thought for a while, looked at Jia Xu, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, how about wronging you to serve as the military advisor for this attack on Chang'an?" ”

"No!" Jia Xu stood up and agreed.

For more than a year, Jia Xu didn't think about escaping, but on the one hand, the people sent by Qin Feng to protect him watched closely, and on the other hand, he didn't know where to run and escape back to Xudu, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would no longer trust him.

Later, he also figured it out, since Qin Feng attached so much importance to him, it showed that he still had a great presence in Qin Feng's heart, so he simply stopped thinking about running away!

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Qin Feng led an army of 20,000 people out of the city while it was dark, and there was almost no movement, and the people in the city did not even know that the garrison was less than 20,000 people, and even most of the officials did not know that there was going to be a war.

The army secretly went out of the city not only to hide the eyes and ears of the enemy, but also to hide from their own people.

After a night of marching, the army looked for a forest to rest at dawn, and Qin Feng decided to march by day and night, so as to avoid the enemy's ears and eyes.

Historically, night marching is the most dangerous, and once the enemy knows in advance the route of the march of the large army and sets up an ambush where it must pass, it may be the end of the total annihilation.

Therefore, before arriving at Wuguan, although he was marching in his own jurisdiction, Qin Feng still sent a scout team to investigate in front of the army, not only a scout team, but also three thousand forwards, and the forward army and the headquarters were five miles apart, this distance could not be too far, nor too close.

The distance is too far, once the striker encounters an ambush, the brigade will not have time to rescue; If the distance is too close, the purpose of confusing the ambush will not be achieved, and if the ambush soldiers mistakenly think that the front army is the headquarters of the army, the headquarters must be out of the line of sight of the enemy's scouts and reconnaissance.

At dawn, most of the soldiers were asleep in the woods, and only a few were on guard.

Qin Feng took a sip of hot soup and asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, how do you think you should attack Chang'an this time?" ”

Jia Xu bowed and said: "Lord, Chang'an City has thick walls, there are many enemy towers and arrow towers on the city wall, and it is the previous national capital, so it is not easy to fight!" Even if because Hanzhong sent troops to attack Chencang, Zhong Xuan, who was stationed in Chang'an, sent troops and horses to rescue Chencang, he would leave enough troops in Chang'an, so to take Chang'an, he could only outwit it, not attack it, and the strong attack would fall into a bitter battle! ”

Qin Feng nibbled on the bread, took a sip of soup and asked, "How to outwit, I don't know if Mr. Wenhe has a plan?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "When marching and fighting, it is most taboo to set a plan in advance, if you encounter the enemy's general wisdom and experience, you can easily win, but if you encounter someone with superb resource, as long as there are enough sources to analyze it, you will be able to see through the reality of our army, so as to deal with it calmly!" The most difficult thing to deal with is to use soldiers as you like, so that people have no trace, this kind of is the most unguardable! ”

"The general direction can be set, but the tactics must be flexible and changeable, and we must be single-minded!"

Qin Feng deeply agreed with Jia Xu's statement, as the saying goes, plans can't catch up with changes, and only the use of troops as they want can make the enemy general scratch his head.

Within a few days, the army arrived at Wuguan, and after Wuguan, it entered the border of Guanzhong, which had to pass through Shangxian, Shangluo, Lantian and other places along the way.

After passing the Wuguan, Qin Feng did not go out day and night, and the army was cautious and cautious in the way of marching in the territory of the enemy army.

At noon on this day, news came from the fine work in Chang'an, Zhong Miao sent 10,000 horses to reinforce Chen Cang.

"Lord, next make a big show and force Shangxian, Shangluo and Lantian cities to surrender along the way!" At this time, Jia Xu suddenly made this suggestion.

Qin Feng agreed after a little thought, and immediately ordered the team to put up more flags, and the drum music also sounded, and the army directly killed Shang County.

Soon killed under the county of Shangxian County, the county order of Shang County saw that I was obedient, tens of thousands of horses, and the army was tightly arrayed, and the arrogance was monstrous, and the county soldiers in the city who were like wine bags and rice bags could not resist at all, so they simply took the officials in the city to open the city gate and surrender.

Soon, the banner of the Flame Army was erected on the upper floor of Shangxian County.

The next day, the army continued its march to the northwest, and in two days it reached the foot of Upper Los Angeles.

It was not easy to walk from here to Chang'an, the road was rugged, but who made Shangxian too close to Shangluo, even if you walked slowly, you could arrive within two days.

It is no surprise that the officials in Shangluo City saw the military appearance of the Flame Army outside the city, and they also chose to surrender with a single person, and not surrendering is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm!

It wasn't until Qin Feng's army was in the blue sky that Zhong Xuan in Chang'an City received the news that the arrival of 20,000 elite flame troops made Zhong Xuan realize that the situation was not good, and there were only 3,000 defenders in the city at present, and he didn't know if he could block the attack of the 20,000 flame army.

After some weighing, Zhong Xuan decided to send messengers to Chencang immediately before the arrival of the Flame Army, so that the 10,000 troops who were sent out soon ago could return to Chang'an.
