In the camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the general Yuan Ying is looking at the topographic map at the moment, at present, the Northern Wei army is waving south, has won more than ten cities, large and small, and recently defeated Changyi in Liangcheng, although Yuan Ying led more than 700,000 troops, but the morale is high, no less than the other party's millions of people, thinking of this, he has more or less some pride in his heart. www.biquge.info Xing Luan insisted on bypassing Zhongli and avoiding the Huaishui natural danger was a powerful way to attack himself, for which he was quite disgusted, and now this situation, he attacked from the front, and the opponent had no power to fight back, so why did he have to detour to the enemy's rear? For this reason, although Xing Luan didn't say it, the two of them were quite competitive in their hearts, and the emperor relied on the two of them at the moment, plus Yang Dayan had always supported him clearly, so Xing Luan couldn't continue to express his thoughts.

Since Yuan Ying set out on the expedition, he rarely heard Xing Luan's comments on the war, thinking that Xing Luan finally recognized his own style of play, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more proud in his heart.

Yuan Ying moved the topographic map to Yang Dayan's face: "Brother Yang, you and I can order someone to build a pontoon bridge, you occupy the north bank to ensure the supply of the army, and I prepare to attack the city according to the south bank, what do you think?"

"The general's move is very good, if you rely on small boats to send supplies back and forth on the water, it is indeed inappropriate, and it takes too much time, if you want to build a pontoon bridge, it can greatly increase the speed of the siege. Yang nodded after seeing it, "It's just that at the west gate of Zhongli City, Xiao Baoyin still has to be sent to guard it, so that Zhongli City will become a dead city completely." ”

Yuan Ying nodded, although he agreed with Yang Dayan's statement, but to make Zhongli City really a dead city, but it is not so easy, Shaoyang City in the southeast corner of Zhongli City is Zhongli's most loyal logistics support, Changyi has guarded Zhongli for so long, and that Shaoyang City is inseparable. He had heard earlier that his own army had attacked Shaoyang City, but in the end he still returned with a feather, which showed that Shaoyang City was not vulnerable.

"General Yang, while you and I are attacking Zhongli, we still have to guard against the army that Nanliang has recently sent to Shaoyang. ”

"General Yuan can rest assured, for that Shaoyang City, General Xiao and I are also trying to find a way to take it day and night, and the general doesn't have to worry too much. What Yang Dayan said is indeed not bad, these days, he and Xiao Baoyin have been trying to find a way to take Shaoyang City over.

"It's so good that tomorrow we will start building a pontoon bridge and preparing for the siege. Yuan Ying confidently put down the topographic map in his hand.

Yang Dayan walked out of the big tent after receiving the order, and after he walked out, Yuan Ying stared at the topographic map and watched, the expression on his face became more and more solemn. That Wei Rui was staring at Shaoyang City tightly at this time, he must have been afraid that he would send troops to capture Shaoyang. This person himself is rarely against him, for himself, he is a legend, when Wei Rui was named the "God of War", he did not have the opportunity to fight against him, and now this war has forced Wei Rui step by step in front of him, if it was a few years ago, he would definitely be gearing up and saving up enough spirit to fight to the death with Wei Rui!

But every time he rode his horse to the bank of Huaishui, when Zhong left the city, for some reason there was a trace of timidity in his heart, and this timidity was becoming stronger and stronger at this time, which surfaced from the depths of his heart, making him feel a little confused about the prospect of the war, if Zhong Li City could not be taken down, what would the outcome of the war become? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the scene at that time was the last thing he wanted to see.

The sky has gradually brightened, Wei Rui is still not sleepy, he carefully asked Cao Fang, these months, how they have survived with difficulty, and every day to train soldiers, to maintain full combat effectiveness, in addition to surprise, he sighed a little, such a smart general, but in the army as a small officer of the grain, after listening to Cao Fang's statement, he decided to stay Cao Fang.

"General Cao. Wei Rui thought carefully before he spoke.

"General Wei, the last general. Cao Fang hurriedly agreed.

"How about you stay with me from this day forward?"

"Ah?!This ......" Cao Fang didn't expect Wei Rui to keep him, he was a little surprised, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If the general stays by my side, do you have any concerns?" Wei Rui frowned, a little puzzled.

"I'm just a rough man, what's the use of staying with the general?" Cao Fang smiled reluctantly.

"With the talent of a general, it is too condescending to be a grain officer, and with the current situation of my Liang, I need a talent like General Cao to do something. ”

"I don't know what the general arranged for the little one to do?"

"I want to set up a vanguard force, which is responsible for the collection of information about the enemy forces and my liaison with the headquarters of General Chang and Cao. Wei Rui said sincerely.

"Why me?" Cao was puzzled.

"Since it is a reconnaissance unit, it must go out day and night, sleep in the open air, kill the enemy when encountering the enemy, and retreat with the whole body, I think that only the troops led by General Cao can do this. Wei Rui's finger tapped on the marching map, the large and small cities lost by the Great Liang, what he wanted to do most at this time was to find out the situation in these places, and it was bound to take them back from the Northern Wei Dynasty one by one.

"This ......" Cao Fang grinned when he heard this, thinking to himself how I got involved in this, it would be very good to be a grain officer.

"General Cao has repeatedly refused, why is it?" Wei Rui was a little anxious, thinking to himself that this General Cao had a bold personality, how could he become so embarrassed when he encountered this matter, and he was not happy at all.

"The general came to me for an interview tonight for the sake of this vanguard force?"

"Is there anything else that can't be done?"

"General, there is something I have been hiding and not saying, and now I'm afraid I won't say it, just let me go out and call someone over, can you?"

"Why did General Cao say this?"

"As soon as this man arrived, the general knew why. Cao Fang turned around and withdrew, and after half a pillar of incense, he pulled a person into the big tent, and Wei Rui saw that it was the soldier with a beard on his face that he met in the cave.

Cao Fang pulled the soldier to kneel in front of Wei Rui, Wei Rui was taken aback, and hurriedly helped them up: "Two of you, please get up, if you have something to say, you will talk about it." ”

"The general promised to spare him so that we could get up and speak. ”

"Hey, who do you think of me Wei Rui as me, how can I kill people casually? Wei Rui hurriedly helped the two of them up.

"The last general has always wanted to find someone to talk to his heart, this time the prince sent me to the front line with food, there was no good idea, there were very few guards with the army, we encountered the enemy, and sent someone to the army where the prince was stationed, rushed to report the news, let the prince send troops to the rescue, but the prince did not save him, we arrived at Zhongli City, and there were chasing soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the six princes refused to open the city gate to let us enter Zhongli City in order to protect themselves, until we fell into the hands of the enemy, if it were not for him, I was afraid that we would all be dead. Cao Fang remembered that his grain team encountered Wei soldiers, and this hatred overflowed from his chest.

"Is there such a thing?" Wei Rui was shocked in his heart, even if this sixth prince Xiao Hong was narrow-minded, he couldn't do this kind of thing that harmed his own soldiers.
