"Yes."

The spirits of the crowd were lifted, and they bent down and answered loudly.

"Hmm." Wu Nian bowed slightly, then looked up at Li Feng and Cai Ning and said, "Two strong men, you go down first." ”

With that, he turned his head to look at the Hojo clan again.

"Yes." Li Feng and Cai Ning responded very obediently, and under the leadership of the Hojo clan, they turned around and went down.

"The widow is far away in Shanxi, and it is impossible to assign you a task. How to conquer the city, you make your own decisions, and you must flexibly use the influence of these two people in northern Shaanxi. ”

"Also. It is good to buy people's hearts and minds, and it is also good to compensate the people of northern Shaanxi. The widow gave you a group of civil officials, and after you occupied northern Shaanxi, you immediately used the power of civil officials to put northern Shaanxi into operation. ”

"At the same time, it was announced that northern Shaanxi would be exempted from grain tax for three years."

Wu Nian turned his head and said to Lu Yanxun and Zhang Zhen in a deep voice.

"Yes." Lu Yanxun and Zhang Zhen kept Wu Nian's words in their hearts and said it loudly.

"Hmm." Wu Nian snorted, summoned a close minister, and asked him to arrange for someone to follow Lu Yanxun and Zhang Zhen. After they left, Wu Nian turned around, walked to the map, and continued to study the terrain.

"Although the plateau in northern Shaanxi is a poor and arid place, it is also a beautiful place. Condescending, it can be overwhelming. ”

Wu Nian studied for a long time, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Old tortoise, old tortoise. Look at me breaking you.

...........

After Lu Yanxun and Zhang Zhen left the big tent of the Chinese army, they immediately came to a tent to meet Li Feng and Cai Ning.

"Two generals." Li Feng and Cai Ning were sitting and drinking tea, but when they saw the two of them coming in, they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up.

"Two strong men are exempt, please be seated." Zhang Zhen raised his hand and invited the two to sit down, and then sat down with Lu Yanxun.

Zhang Zhen looked up at the two of them and said, "Two strong men." Our Han Dynasty also had spies in northern Shaanxi, but we didn't know much. ”

"I'm going to ask you some questions now."

"Please give me the advice. We must know everything, we must have said everything. Li Feng said without hesitation.

Zhang Zhen immediately asked Li Feng many questions, and after he finished asking. He stood up with Lu Yanxun and came to another tent.

In the center is a desk, and on the table is a topographic map of the landscape.

Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun stood at opposite ends of the desk, bending down to study the map. After a long time, Lu Yanxun raised his head and said to Zhang Zhen: "Brother." With the help of Cai Ning and Li Feng, we can capture northern Shaanxi. ”

"But now is the time to race against time, and to be fast. So, we can only make one risky move. ”

"The commander of the four guards in northern Shaanxi. Among them, Yan'an Wei is the most important. The second is Ping'anwei near the Yellow River. ”

"In the end, Ningxia Wei and Liangzhou Wei."

"If we attack Ping'anwei, Yan'anwei will be on guard."

"If we don't attack Ping'anwei, Yan'anwei will be relatively lax."

"Brother. Make a plan, battlefield planning is not as good as me. But the lone army went deep and captured the flag. I'm not as good as you. ”

"You're welcome. You led thousands of soldiers and horses across the river, and under the leadership of Li Feng and Cai Ning, you took a small road and went straight to Yan'an. Find a way to capture Yan'an. ”

"That's it. The whole of northern Shaanxi was shaken. I will lead the follow-up men, wait first, and when you capture Yan'an, I will start attacking Ping'anwei. ”

"As long as these two guards are broken, the remaining Liangzhou Wei and Ningxia Wei. It's much simpler. ”

"Capture and stabilize northern Shaanxi in a short period of time, and we can rein in our troops to the south and attack Longmen from behind."

"Lu Jing was caught off guard, or he abandoned the Dragon Gate and fled, guarding Weishui."

"Either hold on to resistance and be eaten by us. He doesn't have a third way. ”

Lu Yanxun spoke eloquently, his eyes flashing. This pair of brothers who grew up together since childhood and were raised by Wu Nian's side.

A wise general, a brave general.

The style is different, but the guts are the same.

"Okay." Zhang Zhen didn't hesitate, nodded and said.

Lu Yanxun nodded. The two brothers immediately separated, each preparing for the dispatch of troops.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Zhen selected thousands of elite soldiers and brought civil officials, Li Feng, Cai Ning and others. Under the leadership of these two local tyrants in northern Shaanxi, they crossed the Yellow River relatively smoothly from a remote and dangerous ferry port and entered northern Shaanxi.

After learning of Zhang Zhen's plan, Li Feng and Cai Ning were shocked. But they quickly calmed down, and immediately discussed with their subordinates, and worked out a road that could avoid the soldiers and horses along the way and go straight to Yan'an.

Li Feng and Cai Ning acted separately.

Li Feng took the guide to point out the direction for Zhang Zhen and moved with the army.

Cai Ning went back to his hometown and contacted the heroes of northern Shaanxi. wants to use the influence of the two of them to mobilize more people to betray the Chu State and serve the Han Dynasty.

In addition, Zhang Zhen's thousands of households also changed into the costume of the Chu State Banner, which looked very much like the Chu army.

The Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi is connected with mountains, and loess is connected with loess.

Vertical and horizontal ravines. To march on such terrain, you have to choose to take a small road, and the difficulty of the march is beyond imagination.

First. There is no one to lead the way, Zhang Zhen can be confused by this mountain road, and whether he can reach Yan'an is a problem.

Second. Food and water.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhen brought some military rations, but they quickly ran out. Li Feng was responsible for supplying the food along the way.

This local tyrant in northern Shaanxi is definitely not bragging, no matter what village he can find, he can find contacts to help the Han army solve the problem of military rations.

Water is also a big problem.

On the Loess Plateau, water is more expensive than grain.

More than 1,000 of them marched on the path. Li Feng can turn his fate into water, which is a big face.

The only thing to rejoice in is. It's autumn and winter. The weather is cold. The soldiers wore heavy armor and crossed the mountains with ease.

If it's summer.

On the march on the Loess Plateau, then let's go.

Heat stroke can knock many people down.

All in all, there are no answers. The Han army could not enter northern Shaanxi.

In the midst of this arduous march, Zhang Zhen reached the vicinity of Yan'an at a relatively fast speed.

This evening.

The Han army came to the vicinity of a mountain village called Qingshantun.

Routinely.

Zhang Zhen chose a place to set up camp, took out the tent and began to set up camp, and asked people to bury pots and cook food, and arranged guards to guard people.

Li Feng took people to Qingshan Tun to get some food and water.

The Great Tent was erected first. Zhang Zhen entered the tent, asked his own soldiers to help him untie his armor, and then sat on the ground and studied the map.

The march was too arduous to bring tables, chairs and other items.

Let's just make do with it.

"There are 5,000 households in Yan'anwei, guarding various places. Among them, there were two thousand soldiers in Yan'an City. ”

"Yan'an Wei commanded Xiao Yu. Yan'an Weijun was born in a family, and it was originally only a hundred households. He was promoted by Xiong Wuself and became a commander. ”

"Brave and good at fighting, shrewd and capable. It's definitely no fun to attack, you have to find a way to sneak attack. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen took out another map.

Topographic map of the surrounding area of Yan'an, as well as a map of Yan'an city defense.

"Anyway. I've got to take it. Zhang Zhen pulled out the steel knife on his waist, stuck it in the topographic map of Yan'an City, and said in a deep voice.
