"General Zhang, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and you can't hesitate for a moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice, "The sudden increase in the defensive strength of Chiping City is something we did not expect in advance, and we must change our attack strategy at this moment. General Zhang, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic. ”

Zhang Yan turned to look at the battlefield, the sound of war drums in the wind was extremely intense, and it was obvious that the army was attacking again. With each attack, the casualties of the Northern Frontier Army increased, but these casualties did nothing to change the tide of the battle.

"Order Ma Zhong to stop the attack." Zhang Yan's face showed resoluteness, he waved his hand resolutely, and instructed the herald behind him, "Tell Mu Shun that the strategy of attack has changed, and after crossing the river, lead the army to advance to Chiping City overnight." ”

"Tell Wei Yan not to rush across the Jishui River to the Jibei battlefield after crossing the river, but rush to Chiping City overnight to help us attack Chiping."

"Tell Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong and ask them to change the direction of their attacks. After crossing the river, Lu Wenlong was invited to gallop to Chiping and participate in the siege of the rebels. Please Yuwen Chengdu gallop to Linyi, gallop on horseback, and deter the rebels in the city. After the rebels in the direction of Chiping City fled, they immediately surrounded Linyi and forced the rebels to flee in the direction of the Jishui River. ”

"Report to the lord, give a detailed account of the battle situation in Chiping City, and explain the reasons why we temporarily revised the attack strategy. After asking him to cross the river, he did not rush to cross the Jishui River for the time being, but led the army to the front line of Qingting and Pingyin Pavilion, preparing to encircle and annihilate the rebels fleeing south. ”

Yanzhou East County, Cangting.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, two thousand soldiers successfully captured Cangting.

Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Li Zhong, Sun Guan, and Sima Yi arrived at the south bank by boat. The commander of the attack, the military commander and several soldiers, stepped forward to greet them.

Guan Yu looked up at the sky, pointed to the blood-colored sunset hanging in the western sky, and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to walk on the south bank in the afterglow of the sunset, but your attack speed was too fast, and it actually frustrated my wish. The sun hasn't set yet. ”

The generals standing around laughed.

"Zhongda, quickly bring General Yun Chang back to the north shore." Xu Huang said with a smile, "General Yun Chang has such a small wish, we must fulfill him." ”

Then he pulled Li Zhong and shouted to the generals: "Let's go, let's go to Dong'e overnight." If we want to keep Xiahou Yuan in Dong'e, we'd better be able to come to Dong'e City tomorrow morning. ”

"General Xu, I heard from a captive just now that Xiahou Yuan rushed to Cangting yesterday." Amidst the laughter of everyone, a soldier bowed down and said to Xu Huang, "Today, he and his son Xiahouba withdrew first with a large group of people. ”

Xu Huang and Guan Yu looked at each other.

"Xiahou Yuan has arrived at Cangting?" Guan Yu said in a low voice, "Since he took the initiative to evacuate Cangting, will he take the initiative to evacuate Dong'e?" ”

"This one could be big." Sima Yi, who was walking beside Guan Yu, said, "According to the number of bridges, the rebels can see at a glance the scale of our attack on the Central Plains. Xiahou Yuan's little bit of people is not enough for us to stuff our teeth. If it were me, I wouldn't even think about it, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction of Dingtao. No matter when, as long as the army is retained, there will be a chance to turn over, so Xiahou Yuan will definitely make the right choice. ”

"If he wants to escape, it depends on whether we are willing to let him go." Guan Yu sneered, "Order all the departments to advance towards Dong'a quickly." ”

Yanzhou East County, Lin Ting.

The sky gradually darkened, and darkness crept down on the earth.

A beam of flame rose into the air on the north bank of the Yellow River, tearing open the black curtain in an instant, emitting a brilliant glow.

Then more flames jumped in the darkness, burning in the darkness, and the fiery red glow became more and more intense, illuminating most of the night sky.

On the embankment, the figures of people swayed back and forth, and the noisy sound of people shouting and neighing disappeared with the wind up and down the dark river.

Suddenly, with the sound of a rapid drum, thousands of fiery red stars suddenly jumped out of the river, and these dazzling stars were like a string of beautiful and dazzling gems, shining on the black river. The stars in the wind and the stars in the river reflect each other and dance with each other, as if a pair of golden boys and girls are playing on the Milky Way, and their ten thousand customs make people intoxicated.

The bridge is as bright as day under the illumination of thousands of stars, and the body like a dragon sways leisurely with the waves.

The bonfires on the south bank were also lit, and piles of flames tumbled violently under the night wind, as if fire dragons were about to soar into the air.

The banks of the Yellow River, together with the wide river surface, were suddenly shrouded in a layer of fiery red mist, and there was a trace of elegant fairy spirit in the haze.

On the bridge of the boat, a group of iron knights led the war horses wearing blindfolds, and were quickly crossing the Yellow River.

Zhao Yun sat on a horse, surrounded by the guards, hidden in the darkness of the grove, silently looking at the beautiful night view of the Yellow River.

After a while, Zhao Yun turned his head and asked the guards beside him, "How many iron horsemen have not crossed the river?" ”

"The First and Second Armies have been assembled five miles away." The Guards Cavalry hurriedly replied, "There are still 2,000 men in the Third Army waiting to cross the river on the opposite bank. ”

Zhao Yunjian frowned slightly, gently waved the horsewhip in his hand, and ordered: "Order the first army and the second army to rest on the spot." In the early hours of the morning, we headed in the direction of Dong'a. ”

The leader gestured to the three heralds behind him. The three men bowed down and rode their horses out of the grove.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Yun ordered again: "Tell Zhao Zhao to let his troops speed up the crossing of the river." ”

………………

Yanzhou East County, Guzi River.

The Gouzi River was famous in the Han Dynasty. The Guzi River divides the water of the Yellow River from the direction of Puyang, first flows southeast to Juyeze, and then flows to the northwest to inject Jishui.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the embankment of the Yellow River in the direction of Puyang burst, the river broke the gourd, and a large number of floods poured into Juyeze through the Gouzi River, overflowed from Juyeze to the southeast, and flowed into the Yangtze River directly through the Huaisi area.

For various reasons, this breach was never blocked, causing many people in the Central Plains to suffer greatly in the following 23 years.

Twenty-three years later, with the personal intervention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the river disaster of the Guzi River was completely solved.

The troops led by Mu Shun of the Fifth Infantry Corps who crossed the river here this time.

Mu Shun led 8,000 men and horses from his headquarters to the bank of the Lizi River in the middle of the night, preparing to cross the river overnight and rush to Linyi City, which was fifteen miles away.

The fast horse came galloping.

Zhang Yan ordered urgently, and the army immediately turned around and besieged Chiping City.

After Mu Shun got this order, he was speechless for a long time, and he didn't give an order immediately.

The army on the left was personally commanded by the lord. Now that the Lord was crossing the river in the direction of Shi Oxford, he obviously did not know that Zhang Yan had modified the established attack plan without authorization.

Can this order be executed? Zhang Yan's order was directly related to the speed of the army's attack on the Central Plains, and once Zhang Yan's order was wrong, his own guilt would be greater.

"The lord should personally cross the river from the direction of Chiping in order to control the overall situation." The adjutant general complained, "This kind of thing happened just after crossing the Yellow River today, and when we attack the hinterland of the Central Plains in a few days, it will not be chaotic." Who the hell do we listen to? ”

"General Lu Zhangyan made it very clear in his order that the number of rebels in Chiping had suddenly increased, and his army was blocked on the Yellow River, and it was normal to rush to support him." Sima read Zhang Yan's orders several times, and said very cautiously, "No matter where the lord crosses the river, he controls the overall situation, and this has nothing to do with General Zhang Yan's orders. ”

"Besides......" He looked at Mu Shun, hesitated, and didn't continue.

Mu Shun is Mrs. Mu's cousin, since Mrs. Mu married the lord, Mu Shun has followed the lord to fight in the south and the north, and has made outstanding achievements. This man is old and steady, loyal, although he is related to the lord, but he is not arrogant because of this, but more cautious in his work.

Although Zhang Yan was the deputy commander of the corps, this time after General Chang Yuchun sat in the rear and coordinated the entire army in the center, he took the place of General Chang Yuchun to command the Fifth Infantry Corps. However, Zhang Yan's identity is a little embarrassing after all, he is a general of the Yellow Turban Army, and he did not join the Northern Xinjiang Army as early as Mu Shun, so his qualifications are not as old as Mu Shun.

In such a situation, Mu Shun listens to the lord and Chang Yuchun, but he may not listen to Zhang Yan. If he had no intention of following Zhang Yan's orders, as Mu Shun's Sima, his remarks were likely to cause him unexpected trouble.

"What do you want to say?" The adjutant patted Sima's shoulder and said with a big grin, "If you want to say it, be happy, what are you doing?" ”

Mu Shun looked at him and smiled gently: "What do you think?" ”

For his own Sima, Mu Shun still admires his knowledge.

Mu Shun knows his own situation, although he is the brother-in-law of the lord Li Yi, his ability is very average, and he is barely able to get by in terms of force, but when it comes to resourcefulness, it is really a little unsatisfactory.

Since Gui Ying married the lord, he has joined the Northern Xinjiang Army, followed the lord for more than ten years, and participated in the war I don't know how much, but his official position has risen very slowly, and now he is just a lieutenant general, this is because the lord looks at Gui Ying's face and takes care of himself.

And his own Sima, although his background is not high, but he is very strategic, Mu Shun felt that he was a talent, so he was promoted from an ordinary soldier and regarded it as his own humerus.

"I think that if Chiping can't be conquered for a long time, even if we take Linyi, it won't help the speed of the army's advance to the Central Plains." Sima said respectfully to Mu Shun, "In the current situation, taking Chiping and annihilating thousands of defenders is equivalent to clearing a great obstacle for the army to advance into the hinterland of the Central Plains. ”

Sima also knew that Mu Shun's ability was not very good, but Mu Shun was his own Bole, and he discovered himself in the army, so he had his own place to stand out, so he also respected Mu Shun very much.

Sima looked at Mu Shun solemnly, bowed down and said, "General, we should rush to the aid of Chiping, and we can't delay time." ”

Mu Shun thought about it for a long time, waved his hand and said categorically: "Pass the order, and the army will immediately kill Xiang Chiping." (To be continued.) )
