In the weather of May, at noon, there was a round of fireballs hanging in the sky, the sun's rays were a little violent, and there was no wind, it was very sultry, and Zhongmu Mountain, which gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides, was even worse, like a big oven.

"Kill!"

"Rushed, the king has an order, the first person to go up the mountain will be the first merit in this battle!"

"Sons, rush forward at any cost!"

“……”

At this moment, the Jin army marched south from Guandu, and the Wei State was defeated and retreated, and its morale was high, and it launched a fierce and incomparably strong attack on the Wei army camp in Zhongmu Mountain.

"I have to say, this Wu Kingdom has really developed a lot of craftsmanship for the Mo family!"

On the hillside, under a banner of the King of Wei, Cao Cao stood on top of a boulder with a military uniform, observed the battlefield under the mountain with a telescope in his hand, and said with some sighs: "This clairvoyant is a subtle defender, and it can see the scene miles away, which is amazing!" ”

The process of the telescope is not complicated, and since the use of the Wu Navy, it has gradually appeared in the armies of the major princes.

"Wu Guo is indeed doing better than us in this regard!" Xi Zhicai stood behind Cao Cao, listening to the sound of drums, and he was also using a telescope to watch the Jin soldiers who were going down the mountain to attack the defense line of Wei.

After taking a closer look at the situation on the battlefield, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "King, Yuan Shao has a lot of appetite, he wants to eat us in one bite!" ”

"Wen Yuan is on the front line of Guandu, he showed weakness twice before, gathered his troops, and hid the real main force, which naturally greatly boosted Yuan Shao's confidence in defeating Gu, he thought that our troops were insufficient, so it was not surprising that he wanted to swallow us in one go!"

Cao Cao put down the binoculars. Squinting slightly, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, and said, "However, I'm afraid that his teeth will be broken!" ”

It's not that Wei doesn't have the ability to fight back, it's just that the time has not yet come.

Only by waiting for the results of the black nest to come is the key to this battle in one fell swoop. It is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but it is a little difficult to break the backbone of the Jin Kingdom with one blow.

"King!"

At this time, Zhang Liao, who was wearing a mighty battle armor, appeared behind the two, and he bowed with Cao Cao's back.

"Wenyuan, you're here!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked back, and hurriedly beckoned and pulled him by the shoulder. Then he looked at the battle situation under the mountain and said, "Now that Yuan Shao's attack under the mountain is very fierce, can you have the confidence to repel them?" ”

"Don't worry, the king has already arranged three lines of defense around Zhongmu Mountain, counting our hidden troops, there are at least 100,000, and the last general will definitely not let them take a step forward!" Zhang Liao said firmly.

"Good!" Cao Cao heard this. Nodding in satisfaction.

"King!" Zhang Liao thought about it and looked at Cao Cao. continued to arch his hand, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "The hidden soldiers are used to fight back, if there is no news from the black nest, I'm afraid we have to attack in advance, otherwise." The king will be dangerous! ”

"What's the danger of being alone?" Cao Cao frowned.

"This is where the king's camp is located, at least 200,000 heavy soldiers under the mountain, we are on top of Zhongmu Mountain, if we don't count the hidden troops, in fact, there are only 50,000 soldiers who can be used!"

Zhang Liao analyzed softly: "This may remain an undefeated camp." But there is no way to guarantee the safety of the king, so the last general implores that in a day at most, if there is no news from the black nest, we must attack! ”

He has been defending before, not only to maintain the camp, but also to hide the troops, it is already a racking of brains, if it goes on like this, over time, it will inevitably be found by the other party and break through Zhongmu Mountain.

"Hearing this, if it's time to attack, you can be confident that you will defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao heard Zhang Liao's words, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The result of Lone Yao is not to defeat him, but to cripple him!" ”

"I'm not sure about the general, but you can give it a try!"

Zhang Liao's expression was calm, he didn't say anything to death, and said: "Although I have laid a big net for the Jin army to haunt the entire Guandu, but the battlefield is unpredictable, among the Jin army, although Yan Liangwen and Chou are powerful, but a certain family is most worried about Ju Yi, if Ju Yi breaks through our formation and sends troops to respond, we will fall short!" ”

"Hasn't Ju Yi been pressed by Yuan Shao to Yanjin on the other side of the Yellow River?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

"Yuan Shao's fear of Ju Yi, the general of the Jin Kingdom, is not a secret thing now!"

Xi Zhicai added an explanation, saying: "From the beginning of the war to the present, he has been following the momentum of Ju Yi and letting Yan Liangwen Chou be the main speaker, but he put Ju Yi in the rear, thinking that he had a halberd warrior, so he gave up the best ability to fight the first camp, which is a bit stupid!" ”

"This is the reason why we have always been able to lay out Shun lì, if Ju Yi is here, we are afraid that it will be more troublesome!" Zhang Liao smiled and said: "But with Ju Yi's sensitivity to the battlefield, once his layout is discovered, he can also cross the river and meet Yuan Shao, when the time comes, it will be a little difficult for us to take down these hundreds of thousands of troops!" ”

Strategists can calculate their minds and calculate the enemy's movements, but the battlefield is unpredictable, the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, the battlefield within a radius of hundreds of miles, the battle of military formations, and the layout are interlocking.

Therefore, on the battlefield, a strategist can only become a lieutenant general, not a chief general.

There is only one Tian Feng around Yuan Shao who is considered a military strategic talent, and the others are generals, not handsome, although Tian Feng is smart and familiar with military affairs, but he is just a strategist, so he finally fell into his layout.

In fact, since Yuan Shao led the army of the Jin State to kill the Guandu Fortress, in fact, they have already entered the game, and the battle line is so long, once the black nest is burned, they will break directly.

"So, we still have to wait until the results of the black nest come out before we can attack?" When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed.

"It was better to do so!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Otherwise, even if we attack now, we can only defeat them at most, and in the end, they will escape from our encirclement, and they may not be able to hit them hard!" ”

"Then wait!" Cao Cao said decisively.

"The king, the last general disagrees, this is tantamount to risking your life!" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth. Hurriedly said: "Whether Zhongmu Mountain can hold on now, it's not good to say at all, Yuan Shao has concentrated the most powerful Yan Liang and Wen Chou troops under his command, if our left and right wings never send troops, it is a sure thing for them to break through Zhongmu Mountain!" ”

"Lonely for decades, just dangerous. What to fear! ”

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, looked at the tragic battlefield under the hillside coldly, and said proudly: "This matter is decided, Lone will solve the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop this time, hmph, there are tens of thousands of troops in Zhongmu Mountain, as far as he Yuan Benchu wants Lone's life, he is delusional!" ”

"Think twice!" Xi Zhicai frowned slightly and said, "If not." The king quietly left Zhongmu Mountain first and retreated to Zhongmu City! ”

"It doesn't have to be that way!"

Cao Cao said lightly: "If Lone is gone, Yuan Benchu will be suspicious, without Lone as a bait, how can he Yuan Benchu take the bait, Wen Yuan!" ”

"In!"

"How should this battle be fought, and how should it be fought!" Cao Cao said lightly: "Lone believes in his own soldiers, and he also believes in the sons of Wei. Don't dare to say anything else, Zhongmu Mountain is here. Lone can support at least two days, even if Lone is a risk, he must use this battle to solve Yuan Shao! ”

"Since the king has this ambition, how can the last general be cowardly, and at the end of this battle, he will die to win the victory of the official crossing for the king, and not break the official crossing. I don't pay it back! ”

Zhang Liao was wearing a battle armor, still kneeling on one knee, and his voice was full of determination.

"Wenyuan, this is for you!"

Cao Cao suddenly took out a jade pendant from his waist. Crystal clear, it is carved with the word 'Mengde': "You are still underqualified in the Wei army, and at a critical time, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family will disobey you because of the safety of Lone, this jade represents Lonely, if there is a disobedience, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

He handed over the final battle situation to Zhang Liao to command, but Zhang Liaojin was a general, and now he went to danger in person, using him as a bait, which would inevitably cause some generals of the Wei army to disobey the order and lead troops to support Zhongmu Mountain.

"The last general will live up to the king's trust!"

Zhang Liao was moved in his heart, Cao Cao put his safety in his own hands, this was a great trust in him, and the soldier died for his confidant: "In this battle, if Zhang Liao is not victorious, he will definitely come to see him!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the foot of Zhongmu Mountain.

In an open hilly area, the battle flags of Wei and Jin were staggered and chaotic, the two armies were in a fierce confrontation, spears, spears, shields, helmets, scattered on the ground, corpses with broken arms, blood-stained battle flags, drumming waves, shouting and shouting, filling every corner of the ten miles.

"Yuan Hao!"

In the middle of the Jin army, Yuan Shao stood majestically on the chariot, looking down at the entire battlefield, and said coldly: "Pass the order, let Wen Chou attack from the right flank immediately, and be sure to break through the Wei army under the mountain before dark!" ”

"King, Weichen feels that something is wrong, shall we take it easy?"

Tian Feng never saw the Wei army reinforcing Zhongmu Mountain, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, and when he heard Yuan Shao's words, he whispered.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Shao is now confident and awe-inspiring, his eyes are full of unbeatable light, and he said coldly: "Cao Cao has now been forced into a desperate situation by Lonely, as long as he breaks Zhongmu Mountain, Lone can capture him with his own hands!" ”

"King, their strength is wrong!" Tian Feng frowned, and said: "From Guandu to Zhongmu Mountain, the Wei army has a maximum of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but before the war, we calculated that their strength was at least about 300,000, where did the rest of the troops go?" ”

This battle was fought too smoothly, so Tian Feng had a trace of doubt, when he had this doubt, he would let go, the Wei army was constantly retreating, not quite like a defeat, a little want to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Hmph, it was just their trickery before, the Wei State has been fighting for years, where are the 300,000 troops!"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said lightly: "In the previous battles, from Baima to Yanjin, to Guandu, and finally even Jiming Mountain was broken by Yan Liang, I was thinking that there should be a lot of casualties in the Wei army, and it is estimated that their forces have been pressed against Zhongmu Mountain!" ”

"Besides, now that Zhongmu Mountain is being attacked by us like this, if Cao Cao still has troops, he should have been reinforced a long time ago!" Yuan Shao added: "I believe that no one in the Wei Kingdom should dare to take the safety of their king as a child's play!" ”

"That's a good thing to say, but ......"

This is also something that Tian Feng can't figure out, will a person like Cao Cao still put himself in danger?

The son of a daughter can't sit down.

When you reach a certain status, you won't take such a big risk.

"Okay, Yuan Hao, don't be suspicious!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Immediately let Wen Chou join the battle, and before sunset today, I must kill on the top of the mountain, capture Cao Cao, and win in one fell swoop!" (To be continued......)
