The people who can see that they are tired are not only Zhang Fei. Yang Yi, Wei Yan and Fu Wei also felt the strangeness in this emergency, but none of these could change a reality. That is, if Zhang Fei watched the barbarians in the north escorting nearly 100,000 people and salt workers to pass near Yang County without doing anything, they would soon be drowned by the spittle of those bigwigs above the court.

So, sometimes you know that there is a fire pit in front of you, but you have to jump into it.

Zhang Fei did not have the high-definition military map drawn by the members of the Jin Shadow team, but he also had a military sketch map issued by the imperial court. He pointed to a place in the shape of a mountain range on the map and said: "Last time, Wen Chang (Wei Yanzi) crossed Huo Dashan and attacked Guyuan successfully, and the Crouching Tiger Army suffered a big loss. Now Anyi suddenly found a cavalry force composed of northern barbarians, and dared to retreat in the direction of Yang County, it was difficult to guarantee that it was not to discuss with the Crouching Tiger military in the east before acting. ”

Fu Wei said: "If we send a large army to intercept this barbarian army, then the Crouching Tiger Army, which has been missing, may take advantage of the emptiness of Yang County's defense to attack the city, so we will fall for the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain!"

"The key problem is that if we don't send troops to intercept the barbarian army, then the Crouching Tiger Army will not show its traces, on the surface, it seems that we have let go of the barbarian army who committed heinous crimes without doing anything, but we are afraid that we will not be able to explain to those people in the DPRK and China!" Yang Yi frowned and reminded everyone.

Wei Yan suggested: "I don't think we must be led by the nose by the barbarian army! Yang County is only more than 30 miles away from the bank of the Fen River, and if you send cavalry to it, it will only take two hours to reach it." We still have a lot of gunpowder to use, so it is better to pretend to send 25,000 troops out of the city to meet the barbarian army, but in the middle of the way, the troops are divided into two ways, only send 5,000 cavalry with gunpowder to block the barbarian army, and the remaining 20,000 people are waiting for the opportunity to hide near Yang County, once they find that the Crouching Tiger Army is attacking the city, they will go to copy their back road!"

Zhang Fei pondered Wei Yan's suggestion carefully for a moment, and then asked: "If the purpose of the Crouching Tiger Army is not to capture Yang County, but to meet the barbarian army, then the 5,000 cavalry sent out to intercept the barbarian army will be attacked from both sides, and it will be difficult to escape the end of being attacked by the enemy and annihilating the whole army;

Yang Yi then asked an even more pointed question: "Is it possible that the Crouching Tiger Army will attack us from both directions of Yong'an and Huo Dashan at the same time?"

As soon as these questions came out, several generals of the Northern Army suddenly twisted their eyebrows into twists. In the face of such a tricky situation, even if Zhang Liang is alive, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a good way to get the best of all three.

After a while, Zhang Fei seemed to have made up his mind, and he said in a deep voice: "Since we can't think of any good way, we only have two ways out. One is to stick to Yang County and let the barbarian army go north, and all the responsibility after the incident will be borne by my own strength; the other is to abandon Yang County, immediately lead the whole army south, and launch a fatal blow to the barbarian army with all his strength, disperse the people after succeeding, and then lead the army into Pingyang County!"

At this point, the difference between a commander and a lieutenant can be seen. Although Zhang Fei's subordinates did not have Shadow Soldiers who provided all kinds of accurate information, did not have high-definition military maps, and did not have military binoculars, he saw the essence of the battlefield through complicated appearances. For him, the first thing is to ensure the safety of the northern army, the second is to block the cavalry led by Yan Xi, and the last is to defend Yang County.

If the city is lost, it can be fought back, or it doesn't even need to be fought, but exchanged it back through political channels; Blocking the enemy army is the hard work of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself, and you can hide if you can; Ensuring the safety of the 30,000-strong army is fundamental, and only if there are still soldiers, then those people in the court can help Lu Zhi and Liu Bei?

Wei Yan was the first to express his support for Zhang Fei, and he said in a deep voice: "I tend to choose the second path, so that even if we lose Yang County, we can give an explanation to the imperial court, and if we command it properly, maybe we can completely annihilate the barbarian army, leaving all the salt workers and people behind!"

After the final agreement, Zhang Fei decided that the 30,000 northern army would continue to wait in Yang County, and when Yan Xi's first division from the north reached the middle of Pingyang and Yang County, he poured out of his nest and faced Yan Xi's department head-on. Regardless of the victory or defeat in this battle, immediately after the first battle, he led the army south to seize the county seat of Pingyang that Yan Xi had just conceded, and waited for an opportunity to recapture Yang County in the future.

Zhang Fei is strategizing here, and Li Jinwu is not idle. After he led 15,000 infantry to occupy Yong'an as quickly as possible, he completely blocked the communication between Yong'an and Yang County, ensuring that Zhang Fei could not grasp the next move of the Crouching Tiger Army.

In the front-line headquarters, Pang Tong looked intently at the Fen River that bypassed west of Yang County on the military map, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he secretly shouted "not good", and hurriedly asked people to call Li Jinwu over.

Pang Tong pointed to the Fen River in the west of Yang County and reminded Li Jinwu: "Brother Jinwu, have you ever thought that if Zhang Fei abandons Yang County and ignores it, the army will pour out of the nest and go straight to Yan Xi, our original design will fail!"

Li Jinwu listened to Pang Tong's words, looked at the map with a serious face, nodded and said: "Our original intention of sending troops this time is not to occupy Yang County, but to use Yang County as a rope to tie Zhang Fei's hands and feet. Since this is the case, we immediately sent someone to send a letter to Yan Xi, asking him to stay in Zhongyang County for the time being, and give us two more days to maneuver south!"

Pang Tong immediately guessed that Li Jinwu might order the troops to go south at full speed and go directly to meet Yan Xi next, so he said: "This is a feasible method, we might as well play some tricks with Zhang Fei, let the Shenhuo battalion arrive near Yang County at night and set off a firework for Zhang Fei, so that he thinks that our army has launched a siege operation in advance, so that he can delay the time for him to go south, and our army will quickly lurk in this section of the Fen River, build a dam here, and wait until Yan Xi's first department comes from the lower reaches of the river......"

After Li Jinwu listened to Pang Tong's serial strategy, he suddenly showed a sinister smile, and said in a low voice: "It's still the brains of the military advisor, and he is actually waiting for Zhang Fei here, it is estimated that even if he wants to break his head, he will not expect us to play this game with him!"

Pang Tong was slapped down by Li Jinwu, and he didn't have the slightest look of pride, but continued very calmly: "Although this plan may succeed, it has too many kills and injuries, and there is a dry heavenly peace, I am afraid that it will be criticized in the future!"

Li Jinwu sighed and said, "Who says it's not, but if we keep the 30,000 people of the Northern Army, the Bingzhou Army will be trapped hand and foot, and if we meet on the battlefield in the future, our brothers will have to die a lot." Since there are people who have to die both horizontally and vertically, then they have to die the soldiers of the imperial court!"
