Tai Shi Ci and the generals calculated Zhang Ren in the city of Yuxian. Zhang Ren was also in the Chinese army's tent to plot Tai Shi Ci and attack the South Route Army.

Compared with the relaxed and determined of Tai Shici and others, Zhang Ren felt a little more anxious and uneasy in his heart. Although he hurried back to Yizhou with his troops, and now there are even less than two hundred miles left from Chengdu, as long as he has not arrived in Chengdu and has not blocked the siege of the northern and southern armies of the Jin State for the Sima family, then even if he marches thousands of miles away, it is worthless and meaningless.

Zhang Ren knew very well what kind of opponent he was facing this time, although he had already reconnoitred and learned that his army's strength was stronger than the other party, but he did not have any confidence in his heart to defeat the army led by Tai Shici. It's not that Zhang Ren has lost his sharpness, or has become suspicious, it's really that Tai Shici's army that suddenly appeared in the south of Yizhou is too weird, and he hasn't figured out where the other party came in from until now.

In this era, because of their fear and ignorance of ***, people didn't know that they could reach Jiaozhi County by boat all the way south from the Bohai Sea, and even a master of the art of war like Zhang Ren also didn't know anything about ***. Zhang Ren did not have the kind of clear and accurate scale map published by the Jin State in his hand, and he could not imagine how Tai Shici appeared in the southern part of Yizhou with tens of thousands of troops without the eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops.

It was precisely because the Jin army that suddenly appeared in front of him had too many secrets that Zhang Ren was not sure of defeating Tai Shici. Of course, Zhang Ren's first consideration was not how to annihilate the troops led by Tai Shici in Yizhou, but to break through the blockade of the troops in front of him as quickly as possible and achieve the goal of returning to Chengdu.

However, since Tai Shici came, and arrived in Yuxian a few days in advance, and even built simple fortifications, this breakthrough was far from so simple.

Fa Zheng, who has assumed the position of military division of the Yizhou East Route Army, has the same worries as Zhang Ren. When he met with Tai Shici before Zhang Ren, he had carefully observed the Jin army blocking the road among Zhang Ren's guards, but it made Fa Zheng's heart tighten tightly.

Although he only saw a part of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, Fa Zheng found that this was the most confident army he had ever seen, from the leading generals to the ordinary pawns, they showed a temperament that was not impatient and unhurried. And it was this kind of temperament that made Fa Zheng feel cold.

Although some units are very capable of fighting, they will inevitably develop some arrogance because of repeated victories, and this will leave an opportunity for the side that shows weakness to take advantage of; some troops who are too cautious and cautious may sit idly by and see the opportunity to win a big victory, allowing the bluffing side to take advantage of the loophole. The army of Tai Shici, which can block the road, obviously does not belong to the above two types, and the whole army is neat and tidy, and the weather is strict, and it is clearly an elite division that is accustomed to seeing big scenes and has been tempered by many times of blood and fire. When encountering such an opponent, Fa Zheng also felt a headache and was not sure.

After Zhang Ren discussed with Fa Zheng, he summoned the main generals under his command to the Chinese army to discuss the matter, and they came up to study the strategy of breaking through the siege, rather than annihilating Tai Shici's army.

Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng were both wise people, knowing that rescuing Chengdu was the top priority at this time, not to mention that they had no certainty that they could eat Tai Shici's troops.

After Wu Yi, Jia Long, Zhang Song, Zhang Yi, Zhang Wei, Meng Huo, Wu Lan, Lu Kai, Yonghong, Wutu Gu, Dong Dana and many other generals sat down, Zhang Ren first spoke: "Today's meeting of the generals is very important, it is related to the survival of Yizhou, and I also ask everyone not to take advantage of their tongues in vain, not to harbor their own selfishness, and to openly and honestly put forward good and practical strategies!"

After Zhang Ren finished speaking, next, Fa Zheng analyzed the military situation to everyone.

Fa Zheng said: "First of all, I can tell you here without minions that the Jin army in front of us is definitely more powerful than you can imagine, and you must not think that your own troops are more than the other side, and that we have the advantage and the initiative! Huang Zhong and Li Yan blocked our army at the foot of Huya Mountain for half a year with 50,000 troops, and although the terrain of Yuxian is not as steep as Huya Mountain, the defending Jin troops are much stronger than the Jingzhou army!"

"Secondly, after repeated analysis by the Generalissimo and I, we feel that the top priority of our army is to break through the encirclement and quickly reinforce Chengdu. If Chengdu is captured by the Liangguo North Route Army attacking Yizhou, then our thousand-mile return to reinforcement will be meaningless, and there will be nowhere to go in the future, and there will be only two ways to go, namely, to break up and surrender! Please keep in mind that the purpose of our operation is to break through the encirclement, not to fight with the Taishi Ci army, so the difficulty of achieving it will be much lower. ”

"In the end, and the only news that makes people feel happy, according to the report of the secret agent who came to contact our army in the direction of Chengdu, the 70,000 people of the Liangguo North Route Army who attacked Yizhou are now blocked under the Mianzhu Pass, and the army led by Tai Shici, 30,000 soldiers are recruited from the troops of Yan Yan's old army who went to the south of Yizhou to quell the rebellion. In other words, these 30,000 Yizhou soldiers are the biggest opportunity we can take advantage of, as long as they are planned properly, they will make Tai Shi Ci suffer the bitter fruits of the rapid expansion of the army!"

Although Fa Zheng has relatively little experience in the Yizhou army, he has already shown his superb strategy in the previous attack on Huya Mountain, and it is precisely because Zhang Ren adopted Fa Zheng's strategy of "concealing the truth and revealing the false, sowing discord" that he caught Li Yan and was about to break through Huya Mountain. If it weren't for the Chengdu crisis, the Yizhou East Route Army, which attacked Jingzhou, received a military order to urgently return to Chengdu, and the generals in the tent might have been sitting in Jiangling City and drinking celebratory wine.

For Fazheng's analysis, everyone listened carefully and carefully, and felt that it was very reasonable, so no one spoke out against it, only Zhang Song, who joined the army, said: "Xiaozhi finally specifically mentioned that 30,000 Yizhou troops who switched to the Jin State surrendered, is there any clever plan, you might as well say it and let us hear it." ”

This Zhang Song was originally the military advisor of Jia Long, the governor of the West Sichuan Road, and he was also an old man in Yizhou, and it was not too much to shout that the young Fa Zheng was "filial piety". In fact, Zhang Song was a little unconvinced in his heart, thinking that he had worked hard in the Yizhou army for so many years, and he had only just sat on the position of a military advisor all the way to the army, and Fa Zheng took a position one level higher than him at a young age, how could he be convinced and balanced?

Fa Zheng is now young and vigorous, and he doesn't pay much attention to personal details, and he doesn't care about Zhang Song's somewhat sour inquiry, but said confidently: "I don't dare to say a clever plan, but there is indeed a plan that can help our army get out of trouble." ”

"My strategy is to adopt the method of Tian Ji horse racing, send 70,000 Yizhou new troops to entangle Tai Shici's 50,000 Jin descendant troops, and then use 50,000 elite troops to break through the defense area in charge of the Yizhou troops who have switched to the Jin State, and quickly rescue Chengdu!" Fa Zheng said categorically.

did not hesitate to sacrifice 70,000 troops to pave the way for 50,000 elite troops, which shows that Fa Zheng is really a military advisor who is good at using tricks.
