Chapter 983 Winning Nanyang Six

Nanyang, Xinye.

After Xi Zhicai received the secret letter from Jiangzhou, many lingering dark clouds were cleared away, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, both sighing and relaxing: "My lord still understands better than I do, sometimes If you think too much, the more you think about it, the more troublesome you will be, and you will be trapped in a cocoon!"

He was thinking about Huangfusong's thoughts, but he got into a dead end.

At this time, no matter what Huangfusong wants to do, as long as the goal is not himself, then everything doesn't matter. Even if his goal is himself, the loss may not necessarily be his own.

At this time, I think too much, but delay the action.

"The order!"

"exist!"

"Order Zhang Liao's Zhou Cang Department to wait for the opportunity to attack Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, and assist us to fully capture Nanyang!" Xi Zhicai made a decisive decision, immediately abandoned the original strategic plan, and began to open his fangs.

"Yes!"

A messenger led the arrow and quickly sent the order.

"Where is Lei Bo?"

"Recently, there have been more attacks on the county seat. He is recruiting young and strong men in Xiangyang to increase manpower and manage the local young and strong!"

"The chief arrester of the six gates has already gone north!" Xi Zhicai said, "Fang Bai, you go there yourself, take my token, and tell Lei Bo that the Xiangyang battalion has begun to withdraw from various places, and the place will be handed over to the six gates." , I need the assistance of the Xiangyang Camp to take down Wancheng!"

When he was in the north, he had already discussed the issue of order with Mujing, but the local problems in Yizhou were still very serious, and he could not spare much strength, especially the battle with the salt merchants, which required the six-door team strength.

But now the Department of Salt Affairs has started to get on the right track, so it has liberated a lot of power from the Six Doors. Mujing has made the Head of the Six Doors arrest Zhang Huo, and led the elite from the Six Doors to enter Nanyang to rectify the problem of public security in Nanyang.

Originally, Xi Zhicai still had no intention of mobilizing the Xiangyang Camp.

But now Xi Zhicai wants to launch a blitzkrieg. At this time, neither the Black Armored Cavalry Battalion nor the Asuka Battalion can move north quickly.

Even if the Xiangyang Battalion does not really fight, it can display different strengths if it is put on the battlefield to put on a show.

"Yes!"

Participating general Fang Bai came from the staff of the army.

This time, Xi Zhicai went to the north, and based on the principle that one person counts the short and the other counts the long, he mobilized seven generals from the staff department to accompany him, and the generals from the staff department.

After two expansions, the staff division has now grown in size. The previous establishment was one chief, two staff members, and twelve generals, but now the staff division has a full 36 seats.

But this is also a position where there are too many monks and few porridge for the Yizhou area under the control of the Minghou Mansion. Some scholars who are inclined to martial arts can only become the generals of the staff department after passing five passes and beheading six generals.

Even the most basic ones are basically the ones who can recite a book of Wei Liaozi fluently. These generals may not be the kings of the battlefield, but in terms of military skills, they are definitely first-class.

Xi Zhicai looked at the sand table for a long, long time. He pondered for a long, long time. He still felt that the key to Nanyang's battle was still in Wancheng. He was hanging Wancheng, and it was still a little bit of force. At this time, he could not disperse his troops. .

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send someone to inform Lei Hu and Sha Moke, and order them to gather the main force on the left and right sides of Nanyang within five days, and aim at the northern suburbs, but they are not allowed to attack Wancheng. I will personally attack Wancheng!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"Yes!"

Two messengers came out from left and right, and two fast horses rushed towards Zhanhu Camp and Wuxi Camp.

"I really want to know if Lu Fengxian has the guts to fight me upright at this time!" Xi Zhicai said to himself with a cold gleam in his eyes.

Runan has his soldiers and horses. If Lu Bu just attacked the city in the north of Nanyang, it would not be a big problem. He can withdraw at any time, but once he enters the territory of Wancheng, he will go deep into Nanyang, hundreds of miles deep. Nan's shepherd army broke through his rear, and he was the one who was in danger.

Xi Zhicai believed that with Lu Bu's ability, he could see the danger.

I just don't know if he dares to come in.

Some people can't make wild guesses. If they guess wrong, they will have to pay a price, so they can only wait for him to make a decision, and then make the next step.

If Lu Bu dared not come in, that would be easy. He could only watch helplessly as he took down Wancheng. In this way, the situation in Nanyang was basically stabilized. Even if the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army still had their way from Wuguan Yuzhou came in and killed a river of blood in the northern border of Nanyang, and he was able to stabilize the situation in Nanyang.

But if he dares to come in, then this fight is destined to be a bloody battle.

Xi Zhicai never thought Lu Bu was easy to deal with. Maybe Lu Bu didn't have peerless ingenuity, nor did he have the talent to be a natural commander on the battlefield like Huang Fusong, but he had one advantage, fierceness.

In this era, wise generals may not be able to deal with fierce generals. Sometimes a fierce general's rampage can be reduced by ten times. Even if their calculations are more subtle, they may not be able to win Lu Bu. On the contrary, it is easier to give them a chance to kill them.

........................

Xi Zhicai's military order was soon passed to Zhang Liao's Zhou Cang.

Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang had made great efforts in the battle of Runan. If they hadn't assisted Huangfusong and suppressed the wings of the reinforcements on both sides, Huangfusong would not have taken Runan so easily.

At the same time, it was the strength of the Mu army that suppressed the front line, allowing Huangfusong to lead the Guanzhong army to attack Shouchun smoothly.

Naturally, they didn't work so hard to open the way to help Huangfusong.

It's just that in this battle, they are not as decisive as Huangfusong, and they are not as courageous as Huangfusong. Relatively speaking, Shouchun is not important to them, but Runan is more important.

Huangfusong broke into Shouchun, so the Mu army would formally compete with the Cao army for the territory of Runan.

Now the two sides are still restraining. After all, there is still Ji Ling, lingering on his last breath. Although there are not many soldiers, once he is given the opportunity to bite him hard, it will definitely cause casualties, and the worst possibility may even be lost. The battle for Runan.

Therefore, whether it is the Cao army or the Mu army, they are all suppressing their own forces in the territory of Runan, and their eyes are on the soldiers and horses led by Ji Ling, the remnants of the Yuan army in the northern border of Jiujiang.

When this army is wiped out, they may start the battle for Runan.

At this time, Xi Zhicai's sudden military order caught them both by surprise.

Zhou Cang was a little annoyed, and asked, "Wen Yuan, do you think this is the meaning of the play Sima, or the meaning of the lord?"

"Taking Nanyang must be the lord's intention. As for mobilizing us, it should be the strategic plan of Xi Sima. But there is one thing, the lord doesn't care too much about Runan. Perhaps in the lord's mind, it may not be a good time for Runan now. , There is not much advantage in winning it, but it will advance the friction with Cao Jun and add an enemy to the Minghou Mansion!"

The analysis of Zhang Liao's problem is very accurate: "So everything is based on winning Nanyang!"

"Then we have to give up the counties in Runan that we worked so hard to win?"

Zhou Cang was a little unwilling.

Huangfusong entered the territory of Jiujiang. In Runan, apart from the Cao army in the northwest, his own herding army is the only one. These days, they did not expand the results of the battle. They did not even enter Jiujiang for the purpose of consolidating the achievements in Runan. .

But now, she suddenly wanted to give up Runan, so she was naturally unwilling.

"Between trade-offs, one must be decisive!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and said to Zhou Cang, "Yuan Fu, we don't have time!"

"Then how to fight?" Zhou Cang thought for a while and asked Zhang Liao.

"You hit Yuzhou!"

After Zhang Liao gave up the burden of Runan, he quickly entered the state. His eyes scanned the marching maps in front of him, patrolling over and over again, and then said: "Only one battalion of troops can be used, and the size of the raindrops doesn't matter." , the thunder must be loud!"

"It's just ostentatious!"

Zhou Cang understood.

"That's right!"

Zhang Liao thought about it, but felt wrong again: "Why don't I go to fight Yuzhou, I only have one battalion of troops, and you should personally command the troops under your command!"

He is a Zhonglang general in Jingping's third army.

Zhou Cang is the general of the Violent Bear Army.

Now most of the main forces are the Violent Bear Army, and his Jingping Third Army has only one battalion here. It is a bit inappropriate for him to dispatch the Violent Bear Army. The rules and regulations of the Mujun Army are strict. It is not impossible to mobilize troops without authority, unless you get the tiger charm, or even let the chief general cooperate, this is possible.

If Zhou Cang objected, he would not be able to mobilize every soldier of the Violent Bear Army.

"One battalion is going to attack Yuzhou, what about the remaining troops?" Zhou Cang didn't answer Zhang Liao's question, but instead asked Zhang Liao's next deployment.

"Naturally go straight to the northern border of Nanyang!" Zhang Liao replied.

"Fight with Lu Bu?"

Zhou Cang narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I'm not afraid of Lu Fengxian, but I really can't deal with this person. In terms of resourcefulness and strength, he is far behind. I can't let the Violent Bear Army repeat the same mistakes!"

He knew very well why Mu Jing wanted to send Zhang Liao back from the west front when he sent troops to Runan. The martial arts he is most proud of is not as good as Zhang Liao.

Mu Jing transferred Zhang Liao here, although he didn't say clearly that he was not capable enough to handle one side of the battlefield, but it was obvious that he didn't think he could preside over one side of the battlefield.

Of course, he also has a certain amount of self-knowledge.

His own background is not very good, he learned the art of war late, the way of fighting is wild, and his command ability is not very good. It is purely because he took refuge in Mushan when he was in Nanyang, and now In Minghou's mansion, he is definitely at the senior level, but if he is not careful, he will be the emperor and a courtier, and Minghou Mujing is not the former master Mushan, so he may not be able to keep this position.

He took a deep breath and said: "It's still according to your plan. I will lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to attack Yuzhou in the north. In addition, I will give you the Tiger Talisman of the Violent Bear Army. You can mobilize the main force and enter the main battlefield!"

Zhou Cang is not cowardly, if he can, he would like to fight Xiliang in his dreams, fight to the death, blood will flow into rivers, and they will hate Xiliang in the encirclement and suppression campaign in Guanzhong. .

But it is related to the ownership of Nanyang, so he dare not show off.

This also has to say something about the ethos of the current political group in the Minghou Mansion, perhaps because of the style of the lord Mujing, or because of the institutional problems of the Minghou Mansion. At present, the atmosphere of fighting for power and profit under the Minghou Mansion is not very strong .

Under the situation of expansion, unanimously external, and even some people know how to be modest, rather than ignoring their own abilities in order to compete for merit.

"Well!"

Zhang Liao did not push back and forth hypocritically, the current situation does not allow him to be humble.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhou Cang, but that Zhou Cang and Lu Bu fought, he was really worried. Others didn't understand Lu Fengxian, but he did. It was because of the understanding that he felt a sense of fear.

Lu Bu, a person whose strength in martial arts is beyond comprehension.

This person seems to only know how to charge bravely on the battlefield, but that is not the case. After getting along for a long time, you will find that no matter what he does, he has a strategy, but his strategy is hidden under his bravery. If people don't notice it, it will be more dangerous.

The most important point is that Lu Bu has a very repetitive personality, so sometimes it is difficult to guess. You can't understand him with ordinary people's thinking, otherwise you will suffer.

..................................................................

Nanyang County, Zhixian County.

Tobu Pavilion.

This is a stone pavilion built on Dongwu Mountain. Standing here and watching the front, you will more or less have the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance.

Lu Bu stood tall and tall inside the pavilion, looking down to the south.

"Your Majesty, the scouts have just sent back news that the main forces on the left and right wings of the Mu Army are approaching Wancheng!"

Cao Xing came up, bowed his hands and saluted, and then reported.

"Why did they suddenly change their strategic deployment?" Lu Bu squinted, his eyes flickering.

Before this, the Mu army attacked the city from the left and right wings, but it was possible to avoid Wancheng, so he also took the city in the northern border of Nanyang with peace of mind.

But Mu Jun suddenly concentrated his main force and attacked Wancheng, which caught him by surprise.

"Where is Dongming now?" Lu Bu asked.

Dongming is Gao Shun, and Gao Dongming's subordinate camp is the two main forces of Bingzhou Flying Cavalry led by Lu Bu himself, collectively known as Lu Bu's two main forces, and they are the reliance for him to gain a foothold in the Xiliang formation.

"General Gao Shun has arrived in the outskirts of Bowang, and the gate of Bowang County has been consolidated. We are still considering the method of attack!"

"Order to let them bypass Bowang and go directly south. Within three days, they must reach the northern suburb of Wancheng!" Lu Bu said.

"Junhou, could this be a trap for the Mujun?"

Cao Xing said worriedly.

"unimportant!"

Lu Bu smiled lightly. He was most confident in himself, and he was also confident in the Bingzhou Army. He said calmly: "I am determined to win Nanyang. If they want to fight, they will fight. As for traps, at this point, there are no traps. In other words, the strength of both sides is here, even if we increase our troops, it will be too late!"

"Then the shepherds in Runan..."

"How could Zhang Wenyuan let go of such a great opportunity? He will definitely come!" Lu Bu sneered, "I'm waiting for him, but I want to see if Zhang Wenyuan has made any progress after all these years!"

"You send an order to Dongming and tell him to be careful of Dongyi, Zhang Wenyuan, who has always been cunning. If he can't find a breakthrough, he might go to deal with the trapped camp and cut off my forward wings!" Lu Bu thought for a while and said.

"promise!"

Cao Xing accepted the order with a nod, turned and left.
