Chen Xu had just finished his order, and suddenly heard a voice sound: "Lord, now Xiao Guan, the northwest gateway of Guanzhong, is being controlled by Ma Teng and Han Sui. ”

"In this way, if the two of them have bad intentions, they can send troops to take Chang'an directly, and the lord can't do it."

"For today's plan, a general should be sent to lead the troops to garrison Chencang; As for Xiao Guan, you can slowly plan it in the future. ”

Chen Xu looked at it and found that the person who spoke was Zhong Xuan, Wen Zhao slapped his forehead and hurriedly asked: "If it weren't for Yuan Chang's reminder, I might have missed a big deal!" ”

Chen Xu looked around at the generals, saw Zhang Yan, who had been silent, and suddenly said: "General Zhang Yan, Chen Cang is an important position, I don't know if you are willing to lead troops to guard here?" ”

Zhang Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Dare not obey your fate? ”

Chen Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Yu Poison and Wei Gu have been sent to assist Wen Yuan, then, I will send Liu Bi and Bai Rao as your deputy generals, are you willing?" ”

"But it's up to the lord to decide."

With a bright smile on his face, Wen Zhao said to Liu Pi and Bai Rao: "Two generals, are you willing to assist General Zhang in guarding Chen Cang?" ”

The two replied in unison: "The last will be wished!" ”

After assigning everything, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Chen Cang is such an important position, how can Chen Xu forget? The reason why he deliberately forgot it was to disrupt the various small groups in the army.

If Zhang Yan was allowed to guard Chen Cang from the beginning, then Yu Poison and Zhenggu, who had always been Zhang Yan's subordinates, would naturally go out with him.

If Chen Xu directly sent others as his lieutenants, then the intention of dividing Zhang Yan, Yu Poison, and Zheng Gu would be too obvious. In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Yan will not be cold.

Not only these three people, Liu Pi and Gong Du; Yang Feng, Bai Rao; Han Xian, Li Le; Tang Chen, Zhao Huang, the relationship between these people is also extraordinary.

This time, Chen Xu was even more oblivious and separated them.

Moreover, Jiang Wu was transferred, although it was to let him assist Zhang Xiu, but it was not because of Zhao Yun's power.

Even if he knew that his subordinates were loyal, Chen Xu, as a monarch, had to be prepared for danger in times of peace, divide the strength of his subordinates, and try not to let them form small groups.

After the deployment of troops was completed, the five generals each led their troops to rush towards their own goals.

Of the five places to go, only Wuguan in the south is the closest to Kasaka. However, it was said that Gao Shun led Gong Du and Yang Feng to lead 1,500 camps to Wuguan, and someone had already reported to Li Li, the guard of Wuguan.

Li Linai is the eldest son of Li Dao, and he is also an extraordinary warrior, he heard the report of the scout, and immediately summoned Li Xian to come to the discussion.

Li Xian is the second son of Li Li's elder brother, has read some poetry books, is Li Li's younger brother, he has some strategy, and his relationship with Li Li is very good.

Li Li prepared to say that Gao Shun led the troops to commit the crime, and Li Xian immediately said: "Wuguan is a rare danger in the world, which can block 100,000 elite soldiers. Now that there is enough food and grass in the city, as long as we defend the city, when the thief army runs out of food, it will naturally collapse without a fight. ”

"At that time, we will wave our troops again to cover up the killing, and we will definitely be able to win a big victory."

Li Li was displeased, gritted his teeth and said: "The thief killed my father, and this revenge is not shared." I was about to gather my troops and horses, enter Pusaka, take the head of Chen Xu's house, and use it to pay tribute to my father. ”

But he didn't want to, Chen Thief actually sent people to attack Wuguan. Just let me bring people, kill the offender, and recover a little interest first. ”

Li Xian hurriedly stopped: "Brother, don't! I have heard that the trapping camp is the most elite army under the command of Chen Thief, and under the fame, there is no vain, if you rush to battle, I am afraid of defeat! ”

Li Li sneered twice and said, "Now there are 20,000 soldiers and horses under a certain command, of which 5,000 Xiliang soldiers are even more elite. The thief army is only 1,500 people, even if it is elite, what is there to fear? ”

"What's more, although it is rumored to be in the camp, it is the most elite unit under the account of the thief. However, they have not experienced war, and no matter how well equipped they are, they are only in vain. ”

"Brother Siam, don't persuade me again, I will definitely raise the army and go to kill Gao Shun."

It turned out that after Li Li heard the news that Chen Xu raised troops to attack Wuguan, he forcibly recruited young men in the city to serve as soldiers. After a few days, plus the bandits and rogues he recruited with grain, plus the original 5,000 defenders, 20,000 horses were gathered.

It was precisely because of these 20,000 horses that Li Li's confidence swelled.

Li Xian saw that Li Li was bent on fighting, and he couldn't be dissuaded. In desperation, he had to say: "If my brother wants to fight, it doesn't matter." It's just that we need to make some preparations, and the soldiers will be divided into two ways. ”

"Brother can let those miscellaneous soldiers be the vanguard, consume the strength of the thief army, and lead the three thousand elite Xiliang army as the main force, and after the miscellaneous soldiers are defeated, then fight with the thief army."

"I myself will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to meet in the back. If my brother is defeated, I will lead my troops to kill again, okay? ”

Li Li secretly thought in his heart: "Although I am not afraid of the thief army, but Brother Siam's plan is a foolproof strategy, and it doesn't hurt to act like this." ”

Thinking of this, Li Li said: "Just according to what Brother Siam said!" ”

However, it was said that Gao Shun took Gong Du, Yang Feng, and 1,500 traps to the camp and went to Wuguan, and suddenly a scout came to report: "Li Li, the general of Wuguan, led an army of 10,000 people, and was twenty miles away from the city by the mountains and underwater villages, and Wuguan became a corner." ”

Gong Du exclaimed: "Isn't there only 5,000 men and horses in Wuguan, why did Li Li lead 10,000 troops out of the city and go down to the village?" Could it be a thief's bluff? ”

The scout said: "Some time ago, Li used grain to lure down a lot of bandits and robbers, and in the city to capture the people, within ten days, 20,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered. ”

Gong Du's face changed slightly, and he said to Gao Shun: "General, the thieves are strong, our army is only 1,500 people, if we force the battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to win." ”

With 1,500 men and 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it was a siege battle, in any case, there was no hope of victory.

Yang Feng also persuaded: "There are many thieves, why don't we set up camp first, and then ask the lord for help." When reinforcements arrive, it is not too late to attack Wuguan. ”

Gao Shun pondered for a long time, and then said with a smile: "If the thief army only has five thousand elite Xiliang troops, I am still afraid of him." Even if the military pass is obtained, the sons and daughters under his command will also suffer heavy casualties. ”

"Now the thief will recruit so many rabble, and this is the way to death. If you want to talk about anything else, disturb the hearts of our army, and I have my own strategy to break the enemy. ”

Gong Du and Yang Feng were both stunned, and secretly thought in their hearts: "General Gao was stupid?" Otherwise, why would you say such a foolish thing? ”

However, Gao Shun is the main general after all, and he is also Chen Xu's confidant, even though the two have doubts, they don't dare to say anything more.

The two of them did not talk like this, but they were not greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that in the face of a powerful enemy and the disparity in strength between the two sides, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Now that Gao Shun insists on fighting, the two have to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.

"The general wants to fight, and we naturally won't be greedy for life and afraid of death. However, when our army first arrived, it was a tired army. The last general thinks that it is better for us to set up camp first and let the soldiers rest and recuperate. ”

Gao Shunshen thought so, so he let the soldiers in the trapping camp set up camp thirty miles away from Wuguan and bury the pot to make rice.

In Li Li's tent, a scout came to report: "My lord, the enemy army has set up camp ten miles away from us. ”

When Li Li heard this, he was immediately furious: "The thief is simply too deceitful, and he dares to set up camp so close to me, isn't he afraid that I will lead my troops to sneak attack?" ”

So, Li Li summoned all the generals, ordered the soldiers and horses, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the camp was not established, and led the troops to rush and kill.

At that moment, one person said: "If the lord wants to fight, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”

Li Li looked at it and found that the person who spoke was a bandit leader. This man was quite brave, and he occupied a hill, gathered more than a thousand people, and plundered everywhere.

Some time ago, he couldn't resist the temptation of Li Li's favorable conditions, so he led his men and horses to come to Li Li.

When Li Li saw that the man asked for battle, he immediately readily agreed. The bandit leader took a thousand men and horses from his headquarters and slaughtered the camp trapped.

But said that Gao Shun went down to the village very close to Li Li's camp, and Gong Du hurriedly admonished: "The thief army camp is not far from here, if they take advantage of our army's position and come to attack the camp, what will happen?" ”

Gao Shun replied: "The thief army dares to come, and it will be self-defeating!" ”

Yang Feng also persuaded: "I am outnumbered by thieves, and besides, our army has to divide troops to establish a camp, if we fight with the thief army, the outcome is unpredictable." ”

Gao Shun saw that the two of them were desperately admonishing each other, so he explained: "If the thief army did not recruit a large number of bandits and rogues, and captured Ding Ding as a soldier, I would not dare to act like this." ”

"Now, although there are many thieves, most of them are rabble. The thief will not send his elite troops to fight us in the first place. If those rabble come, even if there are thousands of people, why should they be afraid? ”

"The two generals can rest assured that if the vanguard of the thief army is defeated, it will inevitably decline. At that time, we can wave our troops forward and capture the thieves in a battle. ”

Gao Shun is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the sinking camp under his command.

Mo said that these were just a rabble recruited by Li Li, even if five thousand elite Xiliang troops fought together, Gao Shun was confident that they would be wiped out in one battle.

It's just that in that case, even if the camp is very elite, it will inevitably not be damaged. Every soldier in battle is extremely precious, and if it is not a last resort, Gao Shun absolutely does not want to see someone die in battle.

Yang Feng and Gong Du didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, so they had doubts.

Seeing that Gao Shun insisted on his own opinion, they had no choice but to obey his orders. It's just that in the hearts of the two, there are some ups and downs.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of war drums came from far and near, and Gao Shun had already lined up with his subsidence camp.

The flag fluttered, and the bandit general, high-spirited, slapped his horse into front of the formation. The more than 1,000 horses behind him were dressed in a variety of clothes, and their equipment was extremely rudimentary.

The bandit general took a step forward, pointed the spear in his hand at Gao Shun, and scolded loudly: "Anti-country and traitor, dare to invade my city?" ”
