Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 941 Is it a teammate or an opponent

   What is the old saying?

   Not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs, of course, the monkey is an exception.

  The problem is that Fei Qian is not a monkey.

The **** opponent is actually easy to guess, because he always does the most correct thing, appears in the most critical position, strikes fiercely, and moves coquettishly, but most of the time, even if the opponent is very strong, as long as he is not too sloppy, in the end Sending people's heads won't be so straightforward...

   But pig teammates are different.

  The experience of playing games in later generations has told Fei Qian thousands of times that it is better to trust a pig than to trust a pig teammate, because at least the behavior of a pig is better guessed. When he hums, he is hungry, and when he is full, he goes to sleep by himself. It is straightforward and does not need to worry about it at all.

   Fei Qian gently tapped the table with his fingers. From this aspect, it is not difficult to guess Li Jue's final intention. Because it's very simple, no matter what Li Jue does, he will eventually eliminate Fei Qian as his opponent, so now whether he delivers the letter written by Fei Min or the emissary's vague attitude, it is actually to weaken, or even Preparations for the elimination of Fiqian.

   It's just that it's not clear what Li Jue will do in this process.

  Fei Qian turned his head and asked Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi, if you were naive, would you choose to deal with me first, or would you deal with General Huangfu?"

  Xu Shu thought for a while, and then said: "If I were Li Zhiran, I would choose the weaker road... that is, the side of General Huangfu. After defeating General Huangfu, I will fight against our road with Yuwei."

   Fei Qian nodded, but did not speak immediately.

This is definitely the most correct choice. It is better to break one finger than to hurt five fingers. It is naturally safer and faster to get rid of the threat along the way first. It is safer and faster to go to the weaker line first. It is basically the same choice for Feiqian himself. .

  If Feiqian's own Baishuigou, Li Jue's Xinfeng County, and Huangfusong's stationed Zheng County are connected on the map, it will probably be an irregular isosceles triangle. The Baishuigou on Feiqian's side is the apex that is relatively far away, while Li Jue and Huangfusong are the two bottom corners of this isosceles triangle. Of course, this relatively far distance means two or three more It's just an ordinary marching distance of about a day.

   But will Li Jue do the same?

  How many troops does Li Jue have now, and will he really have the capital to fight on two fronts?

   Now let’s imagine, if Li Jue really gathers an army, delays Feiqian, implements a strategy of delaying troops, and then attacks Huangfusong’s side, in this way...

  If I led the troops forward, wouldn't it be equivalent to side rescue or support for Huangfusong?

   While Fei Qian was thinking, a messenger came from outside suddenly. After meeting Fei Qian, he enshrined the letter brought from Sucheng behind.

   "So it is!" Fei Qian opened Xun Chen's letter and said suddenly.

Xun Chen mentioned that Jia Xu, who was originally detained in Sucheng, did not want to endure the heavy shackles and dirty cages, so he proposed to exchange some information for better treatment conditions. Xun Chen agreed, so this was born. letters. The letter solved what Fei Qian had been thinking about, which naturally made Fei Qian feel a lot easier.

  The information provided by Jia Xu is equivalent to uncovering a corner of the originally hazy battlefield, allowing Fei Qian to spy on some of the trends...

  **************

  In the east of Zheng County, Huangfusong's camps stretched along the terrain, stretching out several miles away, and the momentum was very large. After Huangfusong led the army to conquer Tongguan, Yang Biao basically gained the full support of the Hongnong gentry, including Yang himself. Now he is also under the constant urging of Yang Biao in the rear, and his huge century-old heritage has been evaporated for a while. , moved at an unprecedented speed.

Huangfusong set up camp in the outskirts of Zheng County for the advancing regiment, and Zhao Wen also led the follow-up soldiers and provisions to the Zheng County camp. There was a big battle.

Camping, the most taboo is to set up a deadly camp. As a general, not only must you know how to keep the camp well-organized, but you also need to know how to spread the scouts so that all the surrounding movements can be fed back, so that you will not be in danger. situation...

  Of course, the recent news is quite good. The remnants of the Xiliang Army in Zheng County seem to have completely lost their fighting spirit, and they dare not even leave the city at all. The trembling appearance in Zheng County City makes people laugh.

Under such circumstances, naturally, the morale of Huangfusong's army, which had just won the victory in Tongguan, was greatly boosted, and optimism and positive emotions filled the camp, accompanied by the influx of various materials like flowing water. , when Zhao Wen brought his troops together in one place, the morale reached its peak.

Huangfusong's large tent is naturally not comparable to ordinary tents. Although it was erected in a hurry this time, it is not vague. The finely crafted pine boards are nailed to the fir pillars to form a flat wooden floor. Then spread a layer of Gebu to absorb water and keep out moisture, and then spread a layer of blankets on top of it. As for the styles, Huangfusong is not a person who cares too much, so he just makes do with it.

  In the big tent, some silver charcoal is burned in a copper basin, which can not only dispel the cold, but also remove dampness. In addition, the ground is isolated, so when you step on it, you will not feel any cold discomfort at all.

  Huangfusong didn't have the intention to manage it carefully. Anyway, this is just a temporary camp. If everything goes well, he will be able to enter Chang'an in a short time. At that time, it is reasonable to find a good place to rest. There are more mansions in Chang'an City, and it is another great achievement. If the current conditions are poor, they will just make do with it!

  In the current camp, there are now soldiers and civilians, plus all kinds of food, grass and equipment, stuffed to the brim. It was precisely because of this that when Zhao Wen came, he saw that Huangfusong was not commanding the attack, so he inevitably felt a little unhappy...

   There are soldiers, food, and equipment, so why not attack?

Zhao Wen originally put all his wealth on Yang Biao, but now seeing that Yang Biao has finally made a new breakthrough along the way, and seeing Chang'an is just around the corner, he feels like fifteen or sixteen cats with their paws in his heart. Scratching like that, I can't wait to give birth to my wings and fly to Chang'an!

  But the more anxious Zhao Wen was, the more gentle the smile on Zhao Wen's face. In Huangfusong's big tent, he spoke softly, as if casually mentioning it, before throwing his own question to Huangfusong.

  No matter what position Zhao Wen had by Yang Biao's side, Huangfu Song didn't pay much attention to the former Jing Zhaoyin, let alone go out of his way to please him. Anyway, the great achievement in Tongguan now falls on his own head, and if Zhao Wen wants to pay attention to it, maybe his **** has not been wiped clean. When Zhao Wen raised some so-called small opinions, Huangfusong narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile on his face, and did not speak directly.

  When I first arrived, I came to the front of me and said, is this going to give me eye drops? Even if you want to attack, you must be under my command, not you to remind...

Although Yang Biao asked Zhao Wen to come here, it was somewhat of a urging and supervising army, but Huangfu Song couldn't change immediately because of a small Zhao Wen, so when Zhao Wen spoke in the name of Yang Biao again, Huangfusong smiled faintly, and said: "The battle in Chang'an, Yang Gong ordered someone to specialize himself. The subtleties of the current situation can be understood after going through the battle. If Zirou has any doubts, wait for someone to have time, and then go into details. Speaking of..."

  Zhao Wen is also speechless. After all, Huangfusong still needs to continue to lead the army to attack Chang'an, so he can't just tear up his face and say in front of Huangfusong, old man, I think you are delaying on purpose, right?

  So Zhao Wen could only acquiesce silently, so he laughed along with him, found an excuse and left. Huangfusong didn't hold back either, and still nodded with a half-smile...

   Such a result made Zhao Wen so angry that he went back to his tent sullenly.

  Huangfusong's attitude towards Zhao Wen naturally affected the people below, so Zhao Wen sat in the tent for a long time, and no one came to invite him when he found out that the banquet started.

Qiu Ba is like this sometimes, not to mention that these people under Huangfusong have no friendship with Zhao Wen at all, let alone need to curry favor with Zhao Wen, so Zhao Wen was hungry, and then brought his few A personal guard, looking for the smell of the food, groped by himself to find the dining shed in the back camp.

Zhao Wen's personal guards saw that the distribution of food had already begun in the rear camp dining shed, and it seemed that they had been distributed for a long time, but his group didn't even say hello, so they couldn't bear it anymore, so they stepped forward. He took a step, and was about to say something, but was pulled by Zhao Wen behind him...

  Zhao Wen smiled, and said to a person in front of him who seemed to be in charge of the dining shed: "A certain servant is Zhao Wen Zhao Zirou. I wonder if General Huangfu can arrange a certain meal?"

"Oh?" The little official in charge of the back shed hastily stepped forward, and fell to the ground with a long bow. The etiquette is beyond any thorns, "I have seen Zhao Shizhong! This... this, the general did not order... this, I will wait for you." I thought that Zhao Shizhong started a team on his own, so there is no... this... I hope Zhao Shizhong will forgive me!"

   Zhao Wen's personal guards were overwhelmed, and the urn replied: "There is no rice, no food, no firewood, no kettle in the tent, how can we start a business?"

"Oh!" The little official looked astonished, and cupped his hands again and again and said, "Yes, yes, I don't know, **** it... this... I don't know if Zhao Shizhong wants to send some food and other things to the tent, just ask General Huangfu to report That's it..."

  Zhao Wen turned around and slapped the guard who had spoken just now, and shouted: "The army has its own rules in the army. How is it proper to start a team in the tent? You fool, thanks to you for thinking it out!"

Without waiting for the small official in the back camp to react, Zhao Wen turned around again, and said with a smile: "General Huangfu is diligent and loyal, so how can you bother the general with such trivial matters? Yes, if there is anything wrong, I will go to find General Huangfu..."

   "Oh..." The little official waved his hands again and again and said, "Of course I can, of course I can...Come here, get some bowls and chopsticks for Zhao Shizhong...Zhao Shizhong, there are still a few tables here, if you don't think this place is simple..."

   "It's okay, it's great..." Zhao Wen smiled, and was about to sit down and start eating, when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums, shaking the bowls and chopsticks that had just been placed on the table.

Some military marquis Quzhang who were queuing up at the dining shed in the back camp heard the sound of the drum, and those who had not yet had their turn ran away, while those who had already received their meals stuffed as many bites of pancakes into their mouths as possible, and then While trotting, he raised his head and took a few sips of the hot soup. Seeing that it was too hot to drink for a while, he had no choice but to stuff it into the hands of the soldier beside him, and hurried to the front camp.

   Zhao Wen only realized now that this is Huangfusong beating drums to gather generals!

   Immediately, he didn't care about eating any more, so he stood up, lifted the hem of his robe, and followed the military lords to Huangfusong's big tent.

   At this time, people were standing inside and outside the big tent of Huangfu Songzhong Army. When Zhao Wen came, no one said that he was presenting to Zhao Wen. It was obvious that the entire army only recognized Huangfu and did not recognize others!

  Zhao Wen gritted his teeth in secret, trying to maintain his normal expression, even with a faint smile on his face all the time, so that Huangfu Song's personal guards outside the big tent had to report before entering the big tent.

  In the military tent, at some point, a huge wooden map has been hung. On the wooden map, various symbols have been densely drawn, and beside it, mountains, rivers, etc. are marked with small Han Li.

  Huangfusong was wearing a military uniform, a battle robe, and a vermilion cloak, looking majestic and majestic. He was facing the wooden figure, as if thinking deeply.

The remnants of Xiliang soldiers in Zheng County actually gave up their defense. Taking advantage of Zhao Wen's new arrival and the handover in Huangfusong's camp last night, there was some chance of noise and confusion, and they quietly retreated. The officials who stayed in Zheng County were He was **** in the government office, and no one found out until just now, so he immediately sent someone to Huangfusong camp to ask for surrender.

Huangfusong didn't discriminate against these officials in Zheng County. After sending a group of soldiers into Zheng County to take over the defense, he didn't mean to go directly to the city, but was still in the camp outside the city. …

  Because Huangfusong was a little confused.

   Could it be said that Li Jue's army is already so unbearable? Could it be that Xiliang thieves were overestimated?

After learning that the remnants of Xiliang soldiers in Zheng County had retreated, Huangfusong immediately sent a lot of scouts, crossed Zheng County far away, checked the traces, and found that these remnants of Xiliang soldiers were indeed heading west all the way, and even stopped Nothing at all, the banners and armor along the way were thrown everywhere.

  From Zheng County to the west, until Chang'an, there is a flat plain. At first, Li and Guo used such a flat terrain to hide from people's eyes, and quickly went straight from Tongguan Qingqi to Chang'an. Now, the situation seems to be completely reversed...

  Changan City is just ahead, where else can these Xiliang thieves retreat?

  Zheng County gave up. The way he fled all the way, he didn't look like a brave frontier soldier, but he was clearly just a defeated army who was scared out of his wits! How can such an army have the courage and morale to fight our army?

  Looking at the situation in front of them, it seems that the situation has changed a little rapidly. The Xiliang bandits immediately retreated in fear. They made it clear that they were fighting but did not dare to fight.

Now that the Xiliang soldiers here are so unbearable, it means that the morale and fighting spirit of the Xiliang soldiers facing Feiqian in the north are not much better. Wouldn't it be self-defeating for Qian to **** the first move?

   Chang'an, Chang'an!

  Now that Feiqian is occupying Sucheng in the north of the Weishui River, the next step must be to advance along the north bank of the Weishui River...

  Huangfusong's gaze traveled all the way on the wooden map, and then stopped at Xinfeng's position.

Xinfeng, on the south bank of the Weishui River, happens to be in the middle of Zhengxian County and Chang'an. From Xinfeng to Chang'an, it takes two or three days. Therefore, basically, as long as Xinfeng is won, Chang'an is tantamount to being touched. Fingertips, you can hold it in your hand at any time.

   And if he continues to be in Zheng County, the distance will inevitably be farther. If Fei Qian in the north moves a little faster, even if he knows the situation and wants to rush to Chang'an one step ahead, he may be a little slow.

  I wait here to reap the benefits, but if I wait too long and miss the opportunity, it is also an unforgivable mistake!

What's more, now that Zhao Wen has come to this point, the total number of people is more than 20,000. Although these include auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, there are also 5,000 regular soldiers who have been on the battlefield, plus nearly 2,000 Cavalry, no matter how you say it, it won't be any worse!

  Huangfusong hovered over the three places of Chang'an, Sucheng, and Zheng County for a long time, and finally decided to lead the army to go out. He immediately turned around, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "All generals obey orders!"

  Everyone in the big tent agreed loudly and listened to Huangfusong make assignments one by one.

   On the other hand, Zhao Wen, although he had a smile on his face, gradually lowered his head after listening to Huangfusong's arrangement, hiding his face in the shadows...
