"Brother Ba, do you know where the enemy troops are retreating from?" Xiahou Shang handed the map to Xiahou Ba. "Brother Shang, whose enemy do you think this army will be?" "It must be the enemy from the north, either Liu Bei's people or Yuan Xi's people." Xiahou Shang pointed to Pingyuan and Yecheng. "Yes, Brother Shang! It must be the army of these two people, but our army's Qingzhou defense line and Guandu Hanoi defense line don't have any strange information. Why do you think this army appears here?" Xiahouba smiled slightly, he had already I thought of this army's retreat. "Brother, you mean Rui Ge's Fan County area?" "Yes, Rui Ge Fan County is between Qingzhou and Guandu. The high city and deep pool are the front line of our army to resist Yuan Xi. Because of this, Yuan Xi Liu Beicai and Liu Beicai sent troops from Qingzhou and Hanoi on both sides of Fan County. Although Fan County is under the control of our army, Shangdi should not forget that Fan County is vast and cannot be passed by large armies, but small-scale raiders can bypass it. Passing through Fan County." Xiahou Ba pointed to a small mountain on the map: Tianji Ridge! "Little brother understands. What brother means is that this army may come out from here and bypass the defenses on the left and right sides of our army. Now our cavalry can surround them." "That's right, Brother Shang, our cavalry will take an hour. We can get here. We have three days of dry food. As long as this army does not show up within three days, we will return to Xudu." Xiahou Ba glanced at Xiahou Shang and showed a proud smile. "Just follow my brother's words!" "Okay, let's go!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang led five thousand cavalry straight to Tianji Ridge. Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang relied on the speed of cavalry. Within an hour, we arrived near Tianji Ridge. Xiahou Ba stationed his army on the spot and sent soldiers pretending to be farmers to gather information. Soon the spies came back to report. There is a group of hundreds of soldiers in front of Cao Jun from Fan County. It is said that they are a patrol team from Fan County. "This is the patrol. This must be the enemy's army behind them. Brother Shang, let's go up to them and kill them all. Then we will continue to ambush here, and then we will spread out spies to catch the enemy." Xiahou Ba's right hand He clenched his fist and punched the palm of his left hand. Very excited, finally found it. "No! Brother." Xiahouba and Xiahoushang led the army and quickly killed Pang Tong's soldiers left in Tianjiling. Then they sent a deputy general and five hundred sergeants to place all the horses at a building a hundred miles away. In the small county town, the other soldiers followed the two men to ambush in Tianji Ridge. Pang Tong escaped the first pursuit of the Xiahou brothers and did not return directly to Tianji Ridge. Instead, he rested for a day in a mountain forest north of the Taimiao Temple and gathered some scattered soldiers before returning to Tianji Ridge. "Military advisor, you are a master of calculation. As long as we cross the small mountain ridge in front of us, we will reach the territory of Fan County. Then we can return to Hebei as long as we meet up with the lord. Cao Jun will definitely be unable to make the Northern Expedition if we do this. "The soldiers followed Pang Tong and excitedly told Pang Tong's plan to kill two birds with one stone. According to the information that this personal guard inquired about, Cao Jun's granary lost hundreds of thousands of stones of food, grass and baggage. This was the food and grass that supported an army of more than 200,000 people for four to five years. After this battle, Cao's army was definitely short of food and grass. Even transporting food from various places would take time. The crisis in Hebei was over. "Humph, you are the only one who can speak. My military advisor's planning depends on wisdom and luck. My military advisor has always been lucky." Pang Tong was riding on his horse. I am in a happy mood. I have finally made a great contribution this time. With this contribution, I can truly be on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang in Liu Beijun. "The military advisor is wise, and all Cao's army's plans are under the applause of the military advisor." The soldiers complimented Pang Tong with a smile, and soon the two of them arrived at Tianji Ridge. "Wait, why are there no sergeants here?" Pang Tong came to the foot of Tianji Ridge and looked around. It was surprisingly quiet. Why didn't he see anyone among the hundreds of people he had arranged to stay here? "Military advisor, you may have encountered Cao Jun's patrol. They have all entered the mountains?" The soldiers looked around and didn't feel anything was wrong. They were all deep in the enemy's hinterland. They must keep a low profile. It wouldn't be wrong if they didn't arrange people here. What a big deal. "Don't worry, military advisor, if an enemy discovers our people, someone will definitely be able to escape and report." "What is the name of this place?" Pang Tong squinted his eyes, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart. "This place is called Tianji Ridge!" "Tianji Ridge? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Pang Tong suddenly yelled. "This?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, wondering why Pang Tong was so eclipsed. "Tianji Ridge? Tianji? How can a mortal understand the secrets of heaven? Defeat, lose, my life will be lost today!" Pang Tong suddenly laughed wildly, and he finally knew why he had that premonition. Sometimes people??The hunch was very accurate, it was over, I really died young. With a whoosh, a cold arrow flew out and penetrated directly into Pang Tong's heart. "Kill, leave no one behind!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang rushed out with the ambush sergeants. Pang Tong immediately smiled, it was finally over, he was finally dead, his death was so worthless! Pang Tong's sergeants could not stop Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang's elite troops, and soon the two men killed all Pang Tong's troops. "Brother Ba, is this the enemy's general? Is he a scholar?" Xiahou Ba glanced at Pang Tongyi. This seemed to be the leader of the defeated army who had spoken to him a few days ago. "Forget it, no matter who he is, take him back to Xudu and find out his identity!" Xiahou Ba kicked Pang Tong, and then ordered people to clear the battlefield. Three days later, Lu Rui received the battle report from Xiahou Ba and Cao Chong on the Qingzhou front line. Looking at the battle report, Lu Rui was worried. Xu Du¡¯s stock was actually destroyed by Pang Tong and his army, and Liu Xie was still in danger of being poisoned. Lu Rui will not care about Liu Xie's life and death, but military rations are needed by the three armies. Xu Du's rations have been destroyed, so the Northern Expedition must retreat, because now Cao's army is fighting on two fronts. In addition to Hebei's army, Cao Cao also went to Xiliang army. Now the military rations under Cao Jun's rule may only be enough for the entire army to continue fighting. "Bufan, it seems we are about to retreat. How can we advance if we have no more food and grass?" Xiahou Dun threw away the information. It seems that not only Cao Chong and Cao Ren are retreating. His 50,000-strong army is about to retreat, otherwise no food and grass will arrive from the rear, and the soldiers will still be hungry. The only way now is to move the army to a place where food can be obtained. "Uncle, what Rui is worried about is not retreat but Cang Shu's battle report!" Cao Chong's battle report was what worried Lu Rui the most. Cao Chong's battle report showed that Cao Chong and Zhuge Liang were confronting each other at the gate of Pingyuan City. Zhuge Liang had deployed many strange formations, but Cao Chong was able to crack them one by one, and Cao Chong became more and more energetic in cracking them. He and Zhuge Liang were victorious and defeated at Pingyuan City, and they had a great time fighting each other. "Bufan, Cangshu did not suffer a loss under Pingyuan City. He even fought with Zhuge Liang using formations. Cangshu did not suffer a loss. Pingyuan City is already in Cangshu's pocket." Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Chong's battle list, and there was no I think something is wrong. "Although there are only more than ten thousand defenders in the plain, these are Liu Bei's elite troops. Moreover, Zhuge Liang sticks to the plain and has nowhere to defend, but he has deployed countless formations to contain Cang Shu, but he did not expect that Cang Shu would fall into this trap. The plan! "If Lu Rui meets Cao Chong, he will definitely slap Cao Chong's ass. Cao Chong's greed has already arisen, if he doesn't see through this. I'm afraid I might fall into Zhuge Liang's plan. "Fell into a trap? Bufan, why didn't I see that Cang Shu fell into a trap? If this continues, I don't believe how long Zhuge Liang's Pingyuan City can last." Xiahou Dun touched his head, and he really didn't see any trap. signs. "Greed, Cang Shu is guilty of greed. A general is most taboo with an impure heart and distracting thoughts. How can he lead the army well?" Lu Rui shook his head. It seems that he is going to the plains. He should remind Cao Chong, otherwise it may be too late. Something big will happen. Zhuge Liang is best at the Qimen Dunjia technique. Cao Chong must have never seen Zhuge Liang's Dunjia technique before he became curious, and wanted to crack Zhuge Liang's formation. However, Cao Chong had unknowingly entered Zhuge Liang's deployment. Cao Chong only had 30,000 cavalry in formation under Pingyuan City. This is not what Lu Rui is most worried about. Lu Rui believes that Cao Chong will not lose if it is just a fight. But if Zhuge Liang does something evil, Lu Rui will not dare to guarantee it. Which battle in Bowangpo will let Lu Rui Rui Xin has lingering fears. Zhuge Liang will use ancient biochemical warfare, and Zhou Yu will use metals with low ignition points. He doesn't know what amazing things will appear in the plains. "Greedy? Although my uncle doesn't know what Bu Fan said, he feels that Cang Shu broke the formation without attacking the city, which is a general taboo. Bu Fan wants to go to the front line to see?" Xiahou Dun has also led troops for many years. From a reckless man He grew up to be a brave and strategic general. According to Xiahou Dun's opinion, if he had the advantage of troops, why not attack the city directly and go through such trouble to break the formation? "What my uncle said is true. Rui decided to lead three thousand cavalry across the Yellow River and headed for the plains. There is no need to worry about Liu Bei here. Liu Bei can't break through our defenses anyway. My uncle is better prepared to support Cang Shu." Lu Rui saw that Cao Chong was worried. Because of the danger, he immediately decided to abandon Liu Bei and rush to the plains to support Cao Chong. "Okay, don't worry, Bufan, I'll leave this place to my uncle." In Pingyuan City, Zhuge Liang looked at the map with worry on his face. Half of Liu Bei's army in Fan County had crossed the Yellow River, but I don't know where Cao Chong got the news. He actually sent cavalry to defeat Liu Bei's army. The defeated troops retreated to the plains, which surprised Zhuge Liang. Cao Chong was really a difficult person. The Lord of Tangle. ?Cao Chong's cavalry drove Liu Bei's defeated troops back to Pingyuan City, and Cao Chong continued to fight Zhuge Liang. "Husband, it's late at night and you're still not resting?" Huang came to Zhuge Liang with tea. "Madam? My husband is studying a new formation. If Cao Chong loses interest in the formation, Pingyuan City will be in danger." Zhuge Liang pinched his forehead. Cao Chong is such a monster. He has worked hard on the formation for many years. Cao Chong breaks through one every day, and now he has little inventory in his formation. If Cao Chong loses interest, he will definitely attack Pingyuan City in a large scale. Cao Chong must not be allowed to attack the city before the time comes. "Husband, you are so tired that you actually forgot that Cao Chong has fallen into the formation. It is difficult for people to get out of curiosity." Huang Yueying smiled slightly and patted Zhuge Liang. "What do you mean, madam?" "Husband, Cao Chong is a very smart person. The time it takes for your formation to be broken is getting shorter and shorter. Why do you think of new formations? I heard that your husband has already calculated that it will be the best in half a month. Now is the time, why don't you lie to Cao Chong and say that he has a large array and needs to arrange it for half a month? " "Hahahaha, madam is really smart. If you are a man, you will be ashamed of yourself. Madam, this plan is very clever. Liang already has it. Countermeasures." Zhuge Liang held Huang Yueying in his arms, looked at the formation on the table, and smiled. PS: Thank you for your great support! ! !
