The manager smiled slightly, but did not speak. Shi Guangyuan admired Wang Baoyu's move very much, the emperors like to make themselves mysterious, as if they are omnipotent characters, Wang Baoyu is so modest and low-key, and it is very rare to raise his subordinates.

"The subordinates were inconsiderate and failed to detect Sima Yi's arrival in time, so they should be punished." Shi Guangyuan arched his hand.

"Taishou doesn't have to blame himself, Sima Yi's style of doing things has always been like this, and now he finds out that it's too late." Wang Baoyu waved his hand.

"Fancheng only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that it will not be able to resist 100,000 enemy troops." Shi Guangyuan raised a practical question.

Wang Baoyu immediately sent an order, and the field general who transferred Xiangyang led 40,000 troops to rush to support, and instructed Shi Guangyuan to lead officials to the city to calm the people.

"Baoyu, it will take some time for the Xiangyang army to arrive, and it will take Sima Yi to delay." Shi Guangyuan reminded.

Yes, Wang Baoyu nodded, Shi Guangyuan was right, when the field led the army to arrive, the fastest speed would take about two days, if Sima Yi arrived first, it would not have any effect.

At present, there is no force to intercept Sima Yi, so Wang Baoyu ordered a team of men and horses to cross the water on the west side of Fancheng, and set up a sign on the side of the road to the west for hundreds of miles, which reads: King Gonghou Sima Dudu of Hanxing came to Fancheng!

Shi Guangyuan was deeply disturbed by this, it was originally a delay, and setting up this sign would not anger Sima Yi and cause him to speed up? But seeing Wang Baoyu's confident look, he didn't ask any more.

After settling down this qiē, Wang Baoyu stayed in the Fancheng Mansion and quietly waited for Sima Yi's arrival.

Wang Baoyu's prediction was good, Sima Yi liked to march in a hurry when fighting, and his purpose was to attack the enemy unprepared. After coming to Zaoyang, Sima Yi's army did not stop, the main force advanced steadily, and at the same time sent an elite cavalry of 5,000 people, under the leadership of Cao Hong, to Fancheng without stopping.

It only took more than a day for Cao Hong's cavalry to come to a hundred miles away from Fancheng non-stop, and the front team came to report and saw the sign set up by Wang Baoyu on the side of the road.

Cao Hong was shocked, and hurriedly stopped the team, stepped forward to check, only to see that the ink on it had not dried, obviously not long ago.

Wang Baoyu's ability Cao Hong is clear, judging from this brand, it is obvious that Wang Baoyu has expected this big battle and arrived in Fancheng first.

Cao Hong was afraid of deception, so he did not dare to act rashly, stopped the army, and quickly sent someone to report the situation to Sima Yi in the rear. Sima Yi's march was not slow, and the two sides walked in the opposite direction, and it only took half a day for the messenger to deliver the letter to him.

"Wang Baoyu has arrived in Fancheng, alas, why is it counted every time." Sima Yi first shook his head and sighed, and then asked, "Has General Cao Hong crossed the water at this moment?" ”

The messenger replied that General Cao Hong was stationed in place and was awaiting orders from Sima Dudu. Sima Yideng was annoyed and said, "How can General Cao Hong be frightened by a wooden card, where is the general's demeanor?" Immediately march quickly and cross the water, without delay! ”

The messenger hurriedly returned, back and forth, delaying the day. Cao Hong immediately led the cavalry across the water, and at this time the 40,000 troops in the Xiangyang field had already arrived in Fancheng.

With the arrival of the army, Shi Guangyuan's worried heart temporarily relaxed, and secretly sighed that Wang Baoyu was resourceful. However, Sima Yi's total strength is 100,000, and the total number of troops here is only 50,000, and Fancheng will face a harsh war.

Wang Baoyu already had a plan in his heart, the current task is not to defeat Sima Yi, but to delay as much as possible, if he really can't hold Fancheng, then immediately return to Xiangyang, anyway, Xiangyang is a place that Sima Yi will be difficult to break in a short time.

Cao Hong came to a place ten miles away from Fancheng and set up a camp, lest the soldiers and horses of Fancheng come to sneak attack, Cao Hong personally patrolled at night, and finally spent the night peacefully.

Early the next morning, Cao Hong drove the army to the west gate of Fancheng, Wang Baoyu sat on the city tower, ordered the city gate to be opened, and Tian Ye led an army of 10,000 and rushed out.

The two armies quickly lined up in formation, and as soon as Cao Hong saw the field, his bloodshot eyes became even redder because he hadn't slept well, but he remembered the hatred of the shot in the field.

"Field!" Cao Hong shouted and reprimanded angrily: "I was attacked by you the day before yesterday, and today I will take revenge for that arrow!" ”

"Cao Hong, the plan of the surprise attack was already expected by the King of Hanxing, if you retreat at this moment, you can still save your life." The field slanted the silver spear and shouted majestically.

"Hmph, don't be ashamed!" Cao Hong snorted coldly, and was about to rush out of the formation with his knife.

"The general is slow, and the last general will go to fight this man." An adjutant general rode out and took the initiative to ask for his life.

This person is Zhang Da, who once served under Zhang Fei's account, since he and Fan Jiang defected to Sima Yi, the cunning Sima Yi was worried that there was fraud in it, so he did not immediately activate the two. After the probationary period, they felt that the two were no different, so they served Cao Hong's account.

Similarly, Cao Hong was not particularly enthusiastic about the two, and Zhang Da was afraid that there would be a longer assessment period, so he was eager to make meritorious service and took the initiative to ask for battle. Cao Hong was tired because he had been marching for days and had not slept well last night, so he nodded and said, "This person is strong in martial arts, General Zhang must be careful." ”

Zhang Da rode out of his horse and rushed forward with a big knife, and Tian Ye shouted and asked: "Who is coming, report the name, there is no nameless ghost under the gun of this general." ”

"I'm Zhang Daye!"

Tian Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, and raised three fingers with disdain and mocked: "Haha! Those who harm the Lord and seek glory also have the face to live in the world, and your face is three points thicker than the walls of Fancheng. ”

Zhang Da was suddenly said to be red-faced, and hurriedly argued: "Zhang Yide is vicious, whipping the two of us, and has no benevolence at all!" ”

"What a bold man, General Yide is brave and loyal, how can you be insulted?" Tian Ye rebuked angrily.

"Hmph, it's nothing more than a human-faced beast heart, otherwise how could it be taken away by God!" Zhang Da had the courage to reply, but he actually expressed his determination to Cao Hong.

Wang Baoyu was originally sitting upright on the city tower, and he didn't feel much, but when he heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and ordered: "Beat the drum, you must kill this person today!" ”

The dense drum beat immediately sounded, and as soon as Tian Ye heard this drum beat, he understood Wang Baoyu's intentions, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Da rushed to the front, picked up the big knife, and swept straight to the waist of the field, but there was also a bit of momentum, the field did not wave the gun to block, jumped up from the horse, and let the big knife whizz under him.

Tian Ye shook the silver spear, as fast as lightning, and stabbed straight to Zhang Da's chest, General Zhang Da hurriedly turned the big knife in his hand into an arc and came back to block it.
