In the big tent, Zhang Yun unfolded a map of Xiangzhou, Li Wenliang pointed to Linzhang County and said: "Three days ago, a mountain bandit of more than 1,000 people attacked Linzhang County, and more than half of the 500 garrisons in the county were killed and wounded. ”

Zhang Yun nodded, "It may be Li Bao, who escaped from Weizhou." ”

Zhou Fei said: "General, Li Bao only has two or three hundred people under Chiyan Village, but there are thousands of people here, I am afraid most of them are Zhu Zhu's army. ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Yun asked.

Zhou Fei said slowly: "General, Tian Yue died in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, now it is the tenth day of the first month, it is impossible to spend eleven days coming from Weizhou, the lowly post suspects that Li Bao has not gone down the mountain at all, the lowly post has dealt with Li Bao, he is a rough goods, the cottage is poor, most of his subordinates are wearing shabby cloth clothes, and they have never been supported by Zhu Zhu. ”

"You mean, someone is pretending to be Li Bao?"

Zhou Fei nodded, "There are actually two Li Bao, one is a real Li Bao, who fell into the grass near Fukou and made a living by looting, and there is a fake Li Bao who is actually Zhu Zhu's subordinate general, installed in Xiangzhou, under the name of Li Bao, there are thousands of people in the cottage, all of them are Zhu Zhu's army, and the purpose of this army should be the same as ours, it is also to seize Xiangzhou." ”

Zhang Yun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "You have a point, but we don't care about the real or false Li Bao, our person to be eliminated is this fake Li Bao, they looted Linzhang County is probably to divert the tiger from the mountain, and Anyang County is their target." ”

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Fei, this is a tacit understanding unique to scouts, and there is no need to point it out, Zhou Fei nodded and said, "I will lead fifty brothers to sneak into Anyang County first. ”

Zhang Yun said happily: "The cranes and mussels are fighting, the fishermen are profitable, I will take the lead, and when the army arrives in Anyang County, we will contact with gunpowder arrows!" ”

Zhou Fei led fifty-five scout cavalry to set off first, and they directly crossed the frozen Fuyang River and rushed south of Xiangzhou.

Zhou Fei had been ordered to exterminate Li Bao, he did a lot of investigation for this, he judged that Chiyan Village is located in the north of Xiangzhou, not far from Fukou Mountain, so he and Zhang Lei will encounter Li Bao in Fukou Mountain, indicating that his judgment is correct, and Chiyan Village will not be more than fifty miles away from Fukou Mountain.

But it was that encounter that Zhou Fei suddenly realized that they had always made a mistake, the real mountain bandit Li Bao, Zhu Zhu was not to look down on, he must have pretended to be Li Bao's name, and hid an army in Xiangzhou many years ago.

From the analysis of common sense, after this army took the blame for Tian Xu in Yuancheng, Weizhou, it should have fled back to the lair silently, at most a few days, but they were very ostentatious, looting everywhere in Xiangzhou, and even attacked Linzhang County, which was obviously to attract the Xiangzhou garrison to encircle and suppress, and it was obvious that the tiger was moving away from the mountain, and their real target should be Anyang County, the capital of Xiangzhou.

The three families competed for Anyang County, and the Jin army had to play the role of a fisherman, but they had to drive into the wedge in advance, which was Zhou Fei's task.

When it was almost dark, Zhou Fei took the last few of his men into Anyang County, a total of fifty-six people, five of whom stayed outside the city, took care of the war horses, and received the army, and Zhou Fei divided the remaining fifty soldiers into more than a dozen batches into the city, Anyang County's inventory is not strict, it can be said that basically does not care, let the people go in and out, and even at noon meal, there are no soldiers at the city gate.

This made Zhou Fei very surprised, in his memory, Anyang County was very strict, and everyone who entered the city had to be searched, what was going on today, he couldn't see the soldiers guarding the city.

Zhou Fei couldn't think of the reason, but he regretted it a little, he could have brought the war horse into the city together, but the war horse was dozens of miles away, and it was too late to carry it, but they also hid the war knife and bow and crossbow in an ox cart and brought them into the city.

Anyang County is the capital of Xiangzhou, is a large county, with a population of more than 100,000 and a circumference of more than 30 miles.

On the night when Zhou Fei and his men entered Anyang County, at about three watches, an army quietly came to Anyang County, this army was the Zhu Zhu army hiding in Taihang Mountain, that is, the fake Li Bao, their nest was not near Fukou, but in the depths of Taihang Mountain in the south of Xiangzhou.

The number of this army is sometimes too large and sometimes small, the minimum is only three or four hundred, the most time is the latest, the strength of the army reached five thousand, the main general is called Li Yinlong, is the general of the Huaixi army, very cunning and suspicious, Zhu Jun specially let him be responsible for the capture of Xiangzhou.

Li Yinlong used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and successfully transferred the Xiangzhou soldiers and horses Li Wanchun away from Anyang County, and he immediately led 4,000 troops to come at night.

Li Yinlong already knew very well about the defense of Anyang County, and only the north gate of the two city gates of Anyang had soldiers on duty at night to prevent emergencies at night, while the south gate was not open at night and was not guarded by soldiers.

He led 4,000 men to the south gate, and the soldiers set up planks to cross the moat, and the city was dark, and there were no soldiers patrolling, and the soldiers built two siege ladders, one after the other, and quickly climbed the city.

Li Yinlong stared intently at the head of the city, and one of his generals said in a low voice: "I wonder how many enemy troops there will be in the city?" ”

"Don't worry! There are a total of 3,000 defenders, Li Wanchun took 2,000 people, and now there are only 1,000 people defending the city, and the morale is low, so we can capture it. ”

Several generals next to him were puzzled and asked, "Why is the morale of the defending army low?" ”

Li Yinlong sneered and said: "Li Wanchun is Tian Yue's henchman, Tian Xu began to clean up the generals in the army, and it will be his turn next, he has no heart to lead the troops at all, how can his morale not be low?" ”

"Will he surrender to us, then?"

"Not necessarily, the Son of Heaven recruited him before, but he refused, it is said that he has a good relationship with Li Na, I don't know if he wants to surrender Li Na."

At this time, torches were waved on the head of the city, and then the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was opened.

Li Yinlong was overjoyed and shouted: "Kill into the city!" ”

In the dark, four thousand soldiers sped up and rushed towards the city, but to Li Yinlong's surprise, there were no soldiers in the military camp in Anyang County, and he asked the county order to learn that Li Wanchun had taken all the three thousand defenders away, and Anyang County turned out to be an empty city.

Li Yinlong suddenly felt that something was not right.......

Li Wanchun is about forty years old, of medium stature, and not good-looking, the reason why he became Tian Yue's confidant and the most important Xiangzhou soldier and horse envoy is that he can be independent, he is clear-headed, has a strong command ability, and is deeply trusted by Tian Yue.

Li Wanchun has already received the news that Xing Diancao, the general of the Left Army, and Man Shouyi, the general of the Later Army, were both killed by Tian Xu, and Zhao Lun, the chief general of Huaizhou, was dismissed.

Sima Li has surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and now Tian Xu's butcher's knife has not been put down, so the next target must be himself.

Li Wanchun has been trying his best to get out of the crisis these days, Li Wanchun wants to go to the king of Qi Li Na, Li Wanchun is also a Goguryeo, his father Li Jian was Li Zheng's general, Li Wanchun grew up with Li Na, he was later appreciated by Tian Chenghei and accepted as a general, and has been loyal to Wei for more than 20 years, but now, he has to consider his own retreat.

Of course, Li Wanchun decided to surrender to Li Na, but he needed some capital, if he ran to Li Na alone, I am afraid that he would not be reused, but if he pulled an army over, he would have his own capital.

Li Wanchun was thinking about what excuse to gather the army, and it happened that there was a mountain bandit robbery incident in Linzhang County, and he immediately found an excuse to quickly gather 6,000 troops under the pretext of suppressing the bandits, but he led the 6,000 troops to the southeast.

Li Wanchun led 6,000 troops with seven days' dry rations, all the way to the southeast, into the south of Weizhou, they marched along the north bank of the Yellow River, their goal was to go to Dizhou, Li Wanchun would surrender the 6,000 army along with Dizhou to Li Na, this is his capital.

The development of things really surprised everyone, Li Wanchun actually gave up Xiangzhou at a critical moment, led the Wei army of Xiangzhou to evacuate, so that Zhu Zhu's army occupied Anyang County without blood.

Although there is no situation in which Zhang Yunhe and clams compete with each other and the fishermen benefit, it is still unknown who will have the last laugh in this battle for Xiangzhou.
