    Chapter 165 "Wei Yan's Strategy"

    Wei Yan's heart tightened, and his eyes turned to stare at the approaching horse.

    Tan Ma quickly jumped off his horse, got down on one knee and loudly reported: Fifteen miles to the left of the team, traces of the team¡¯s passing were found.

    Wei Yan quickly asked a few questions and asked the guards around him to immediately recruit Ma Dai at the back of the team to discuss the military plan.

    Ma Dai rushed over in a hurry. After listening to Wei Yan's low and brief introduction, he became anxious and asked quickly: "Traces of the large army? Are they walking opposite us? This is impossible?"

    Wei Yan said: "This general doesn't believe it either, and has sent a large number of detective horses to search both sides. It is winter now, there is ice on the ground, and the traces left by the march of the large army should be obvious. Since the detective horses have discovered it, then this should be true.  What this general is worried about is whether there are Cao troops on the right. If so, we will"

    Ma Dai said: "They have such a big appetite? Where do their troops come from? King Shu's troops are not far from us. It is unlikely that they can cut off our retreat"

    The two generals were still discussing the next step when a messenger delivered a letter from Liu Jia, King of Shu.  Wei Yan glanced at the letter quickly, and then silently handed it to Ma Dai, who was anxious next to him.

    After Ma Dai finished reading the letter, his face was ashen. Although he did not speak, the look on his face and eyes clearly contained three words: What should I do?

    Wei Yandao: "General Ma's team in front was blocked by Cao's army, and the encirclement has not been completed. And we ourselves are about to be surrounded by others, and the encirclement has not been completed. According to the King of Shu, it is to break our encirclement. Leave General Ma's encirclement temporarily.  "

    Ma Dai worriedly said: "We still have the army of the King of Shu to support us, and the eldest brother and the others have nothing after being surrounded by Cao's army. Then they are really in danger." Of course, his intention is to continue to move forward and fight with Ma Chao  The troops stayed together and shared the joys and sorrows.

    Wei Yandao: "The situation is like this now. We don't say whether we can meet up with General Ma and the others if we continue moving forward. Even if we rush in, our 10,000 men and horses will not be able to help us when facing more than 300,000 Cao's troops."

    Ma Dai thought for a long time, and finally whispered: "Then we turn around and retreat now?"

    Wei Yan was also thinking when Ma Dai was meditating.  At this time he said: "This general wants us to be divided into two! One part continues to move forward, and the other part turns back. After returning, we will resolutely block Cao Jun. We will not let Cao Jun close the encirclement, guard this gap, and let the troops of King Shu quickly  If they come in, their encirclement will not be formed."

    Ma Dai opened his eyes wide and said: "We only have 10,000 troops in total. We are not strong in the first place, so why should we be separated? If we split into two, we will be eaten by them soon."

    Wei Yan smiled and said: "Haha, General Ma is afraid?"

    Ma Dai¡¯s eyes immediately opened wide.  He said loudly: "Afraid? Now we are just discussing the matter."

    Wei Yan said: "What we are fighting for now is the opportunity! As long as we are quick and get stuck at the junction of Cao's army before they can close up, so that they can't get together, we will not be in any danger, and we can advance, attack, retreat or defend."  "

    After a while, Ma Dai said: "Okay, just follow the general's wishes. Ma will lead the team and continue to move forward"

    The two discussed for a while, and then the team began to separate somewhere, but the number of more than 2,000 torches led by Ma Dai suddenly increased a lot.  However, the torches of the troops led by Wei Yan were sparse. From a distance, it seemed that the number of Ma Dai's troops was much larger than that of Wei Yan. Moreover, the torches in Ma Dai's troops moved with the troops, while the torches in Wei Yan's troops were all moving.  They are stationary. They are all inserted into the ground, one at a distance.  There are special people inserting and collecting.

    The next day, Ma Dai¡¯s team was still walking and stopping, and the cavalry in the team were also running back and forth in the team, but the actual distance traveled was not far.  However, Wei Yan's troops seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no trace of them.

    At this time, Wei Yan's men and horses were hiding in a mountain recess and sleeping. They marched quickly all night last night and hid at dawn. At the same time, scout horses and guard troops were sent out to capture or drive away Cao Jun's scout horses. Although these actions were also  Let those Cao Jun scouts bewildered.  But there is no way to know Wei Yan's true situation.

    In the evening, after the weather gets dark.  Wei Yan's team began to march quickly again, and Ma Dai's team also began to retreat secretly as planned.  Only an empty camp was left there.

    When it was almost dawn, Tan Ma Lai reported that Cao Jun was already gathering about seven or eight miles ahead. Cao Jun's leading troops were already stuck between Wei Yan's army and Liu Jia's army.  But now there are only more than 3,000 troops setting up camp.

    Wei Yan nodded happily, and then ordered the troops to lie down and sleep immediately.  At noon,The soldiers immediately buried pots to make rice, and within an hour, under the leadership of Wei Yan, they rushed towards Cao Jun with murderous intent.

    Standing in front of Wei Yan is Xia Houcun, the general under Wang Shuang, who is commanding his soldiers to set up camp to welcome the arrival of Cao Cao's army, including Wang Shuang. The tent has just been set up, the fence is only half completed, and the trench has just begun to break ground. The trap  , Antlers was not ready yet, but he did not expect Wei Yan to rush over at this time. Although Wei Yan's troops were spotted by his scouting horses more than six miles away from him, he was still anxious because his soldiers had only arrived.  More than five thousand, these five thousand soldiers are not elite troops fighting on the battlefield, and can only barely resist Wei Yan for a while.  The most terrible thing is that Liu Jia's troops are coming behind them. Even if his troops try their best to resist, as soon as Liu Jia's troops arrive, his five thousand men will not be enough to squeeze the opponent's teeth.

    "Didn't Tanma say that Wei Yan is still advancing towards Wei Mi City? Why did he get here so quickly?" Xia Houcun muttered in his heart. Just because Tanma said that Wei Yan had not retreated, Liu Jia's troops would not be able to get here until dusk, and  Cao Cao's army also arrived before dusk, so he set up camp in an orderly manner.  He always thought that it didn't matter whether Cao Cao's army arrived before Liu Jia's army, or even a little later. As long as he built the camp, he could use the camp to resist Liu Jia's vanguard for a while.

    Now that the situation has suddenly become so bad, all plans naturally have to be changed: Xia Houcun immediately ordered Tan Ma to report the situation here to Cao Cao and Wang Shuang and ask for help from them. At the same time, he summoned all the soldiers who were camping and set up their formations to wait for work.  When Wei Yan arrives, although Xia Houcun is not arrogant enough to fight Wei Yan alone, he should still be able to sustain it for a while by taking advantage of the close distance.

    Xia Houcun's troops had just arranged their formation when they saw dust rising all over the sky from the east, shouts could be heard from afar, and a bright red flag followed closely by a majestic general.  Although the distance was far, because it was afternoon, the winter sun shone on the general's face quite clearly. In fact, even if he couldn't be seen clearly, the word "Wei" on the flag behind him told this place extremely accurately.  Cao Jun, the visitor is Wei Yan, one of the five tiger generals under King Shu!

    Soon, Wei Yan slowly raised the sword, and the shouts hit everyone's eardrums: "You thief of Cao Jun, how dare you cut off this general's retreat, watch the sword!"
