After Fazheng learned the whole story from Zhao Yun, he decided not to divide the army into two groups. Instead, the light cavalry and 60,000 elites rushed together towards Jinyang.
After nine days of rapid march, the army arrived at Taiyuan County and entered Jinyang City.
In another half day, we can reach the foot of Jinyang City.
After nightfall, the army set up camp in the wild.
Fazheng and Zhao Yun were discussing matters in the camp when Huang Zhong and Chen Dao hurried in.
Fazheng looked up and saw that Huang Zhong and Chen Dao had different expressions. Knowing that they had something to do, he waved his hands and said, "Two generals, please sit down. You are here late at night. What's the matter?"
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted Fazheng, then lifted up their robes and sat down.
Huang Zhong took the lead and said: "Military advisor, during this march, the general felt something was wrong. Since the army entered Bingzhou, the general felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at it. Especially when entering Taiyuan County and close to Jinyang County, such
The feeling is particularly strong, as if our army is being monitored all the time."
Chen Dao continued: "The general sent out several waves of sentinels to investigate the news, and found that some people were following the army at a distance. These people must be sentinels, specifically to inquire about news about our army. Logically speaking, we are here to rescue Jinyang, even if
There were spies sent by Xiahou Dun, but they couldn't have encountered them since they entered Bingzhou. Things are very strange."
Fazheng and Zhao Yun did not speak, and Huang Zhong crackled again: "There is a wave of spies following us. This soldier is not the most important thing. The general felt that after entering Jinyang, he seemed to have entered an encirclement. Xiahou Dun's army was motionless.
, this is even more suspicious, and there may be a conspiracy."
"Hahaha……"
Fazheng laughed loudly, with joy in his eyes.
Huang Zhong asked in confusion: "Military advisor, why are you laughing?"
Chen Dao was also confused and couldn't figure out what Fazheng was doing.
After laughing, Fazheng put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Two generals, you are very smart, and you have noticed the trick. I tell you the truth, before the army entered Bingzhou, Bingzhou had already fallen. Among them,
The high official was killed, and the judge surrendered to Cao Cao. What's even more terrifying is that Sima Yi and Ma Chao deployed a large army in the city, waiting for us to enter the city."
When the trial match was mentioned, Fazheng gritted his teeth with hatred.
When the senior cadres surrendered, Fa Zheng did not take back his power in order to win over Shen Pei and the senior cadres. However, Fa Zheng did not expect that Sima Yi colluded with the Wei family, assassinated the senior cadres, and quietly captured Bingzhou. This was simply Fa Zheng's fault.
Shame. If Shi'a's people were not spread all over the world, including people in Jizhou and Bingzhou, there would still be no news of the fall of Bingzhou.
Once the army enters the city, they will definitely die without a burial place.
The loss of Bingzhou was Fa Zheng's responsibility, so Fa Zheng held his breath.
When Huang Zhong and Chen Dao heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.
The two looked at each other, their eyes wide open, and they were speechless.
After a while, Huang Zhong came to his senses and said with a horrified look: "Military advisor, according to you, our army is already surrounded by enemies on all sides, surrounded by Cao's army, and may face violent attacks at any time?"
Fazheng smiled and nodded slightly.
Chen Dao said: "Military advisor, you are so excited, yet you can still laugh."
Zhao Yun said calmly: "Right now, we know ourselves and the enemy, and know all the situations. Sima Yi and Xiahou Dun are still in the dark, and they don't know that we have insight into their conspiracy. This is our opportunity."
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Zilong, it's so hard for you to hide this from me!"
Zhao Yun asked: "Why, the old general is afraid?"
Huang Zhong snorted, stretched out his hand to stroke the gray beard under his chin, and said in a deep voice: "The fame is obtained on the horse. Although there is danger this time, it is not impossible to unseat Xiahou Dun's grandson. I lived for more than fifty years.
When my son grows up, apart from not being able to become a general and a marquis, what else can I miss? This battle is when I, old Huang Zhong, gain fame and glory, so I’m so scared!”
Huang Zhong adjusted his mentality and prepared for a big battle.
Chen Dao asked: "Military advisor, what are your plans?"
Fazheng glanced at Huang Zhong, then looked at Chen Dao, and said with a smile: "Both Xiahou Dun and Sima Yi thought that we were unaware and wanted to trick us into the city, so as to catch turtles in the jar and destroy our army. For this reason, Cao Jun will not
Send troops, we will be safe for the time being and will not be attacked by Cao's army."
At this point, Fazheng stopped and pondered for a while before continuing: "Sima Yi and Xiahou Dun wanted us to enter the city obediently, but we refused to cooperate. We will arrive at Jinyang City tomorrow. The army will be stationed outside the city and will not enter the city for the time being. By that time
, I will have a good fight with Sima Yi again. This thief secretly captured Bingzhou. He is very cunning and must be dealt with carefully. This time, not only will Sima Yi be forced to spit out Bingzhou, but Cao Cao will also be forced to lose his troops, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the feeling in his heart.
"
As the saying goes, there is no first in Taoism and no second in martial arts.
Sima Yi quietly captured Bingzhou, which greatly touched Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng has been going smoothly in these years and has not encountered any difficulties. Bingzhou was suddenly captured by Sima Yi, who smashed Fa Zheng's foot, making Fa Zheng embarrassed in front of Wang Can. Fa Zheng held his breath, worked hard, and thought
Revenge was taken. He looked at a few people and said: "The news of the loss of Bingzhou must not be leaked. You must stay calm and not let the military's morale be unstable."
Huang Zhong said: "Don't worry, military advisor, I can hold it steady."
Chen Dao also patted his chest and made a promise, cheering up.
Several people discussed how to deal with it tomorrow before returning to their respective camps to rest.
Early the next morning, the army continued on its way to Jinyang City.
Marching all the way, they arrived outside Jinyang City in half a day and gradually approached Jinyang. At this time, the gate of Jinyang was closed tightly and did not open, showing a vigilant look, as if they were afraid of Cao Jun's attack. When reviewing the match, Sima Yi and Ma Chao were standing
On the city tower, but Sima Yi and Ma Chao were on the inside of the city tower and could not be seen by people below the city.
Shen Pei looked at the Shu army that was gradually approaching, with joy on his face.
This time, there won't be any problems.
Just when Shen Pei was feeling happy, the Shu army stopped fifty feet outside the city without taking a step forward.
Shen Pei's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He turned back to look at Sima Yi and asked: "Commander, Zhao Yun asked the Shu army to stop advancing. It seems that he does not intend to enter the city. What should I do?"
Sima Yi said calmly: "If Zhao Yun enters the city carelessly, then Zhao Yun is a fool. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are veteran generals on the battlefield and have rich experience. It is impossible for them to enter the city directly without investigating. Don't you understand such a simple truth?
?You are Yuan Shao’s former confidant and have outstanding strategies. Don’t be distracted by fear or anxiety in your heart, and deal with it calmly. Do you understand?”
Listening to Sima Yi's words of instruction, Shen Pei smiled bitterly in his heart.
Can you remain calm in the face of this ruthless young man in front of you? Shen Pei hesitated in his heart and said obediently: "I understand, I will go out of the city to meet Zhao Yun, dispel Zhao Yun's concerns, and introduce them into the city."
Sima Yi nodded and asked Shen Pei to go down to greet him.
"Open the city gate!"
An order was passed and the door creaked open.
Shen Pei led all the officials in the city and quickly rushed out of the city on horseback towards Zhao Yun's army. Shen Pei was riding on the horse, calm on the surface, but uneasy in his heart. He and Gao Gan had all submitted to the Shu Kingdom, and now
But he used the name of a Shu official to deceive Zhao Yun. Once discovered by Zhao Yun, the consequences will be self-evident.
No flaws should be exposed, no mistakes should be made!
Shen Pei kept admonishing himself and encouraging himself.
But no matter how much encouragement the judge gave, there was always a little bit of uneasiness, which was a sign of guilty conscience. The war horses galloped, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the more than 60,000 Shu troops and arrived in front of the army formation.
Shen Pei turned over and dismounted, glanced in front of the military formation, bowed and asked, "May I ask, who is General Zhao Yun?"
"That's me!"
Zhao Yun rode the white dragon horse two steps forward and looked at the judge condescendingly. At this moment, Zhao Yun did not have the slightest gentle temperament. Instead, he was like a big gun, sharp and aggressive, which even made the judge feel fearful.
This feeling is the aura that Zhao Yun developed while fighting on the battlefield and holding a high position.
"Are you a matchmaker?"
Just when Shen Pei was feeling uncomfortable, he heard a faint voice again.
When the judge heard the news, he saw a young man wearing armor and a black robe coming out on horseback. This man was none other than Fazheng. When Fazheng came out, Noriman was holding two handles.
The iron sledgehammer came out and stood beside Fazheng on horseback, his eyes wide open and he was on alert to protect Fazheng's safety.
Shen Pei knew about Fa Zheng, but had never seen Fa Zheng, so he asked, "May I ask who your lord is?"
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, I am Fa Zheng."
When the judge heard this, his mind went blank for a moment and he stared blankly at the young man in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the young man in his early twenties in front of him turned out to be Fazheng who was stationed in Luoyang. At this time, Shen Pei's heart suddenly thought that he was getting old. Think about it, Sima Yi in the city was also in his early twenties, and Fazheng in front of him was also in his early twenties.
In their early teens, it is terrifying that these people are so young yet so evil.
Shen Pei's mood fluctuated greatly, but he quickly recovered and bowed and said: "I am a low-ranking officer, Shen Pei. I have met your Excellency."
Fazheng hummed and nodded slightly.
Shen Pei turned slightly sideways, waved his hand and said: "Master Fa and General Zhao have come a long way with their army. They are exhausted and exhausted. I have prepared a reception banquet in the city and arranged a place for the army to rest. Please invite Master Fa and Zhao
The general leads the army into the city." After saying these words, Shen Pei's heart started beating even more.
Promise! Promise quickly!
Shen Pei kept thinking in his mind, hoping that Fa Zheng would agree.
Fazheng looked at Shen Pei quietly and said nothing.
As a result, Shen Pei felt even more pressure, as if his plan had been seen through by Fazheng.
Fazheng shook the reins of his horse and rode two more steps forward. Looking at Shen Pei who was bowing, Fazheng raised a smile on his lips and asked strangely: "Mr. Shen, I remember that the governor of Bingzhou is a high-ranking cadre. Why?"
Didn’t you see anyone?”
The judge was already worried, and when he heard Fa Zheng's question, he felt even more uneasy.
Fortunately, the judge has also seen big events, and he said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Reporting to your lord, the governor is seriously ill and has been bedridden for several days. I am bold and brought all the officials from Bingzhou to greet you."
"oh!!"
Fa Zhengchang said it and did not continue to ask questions.
Seeing that Fazheng did not ask, Shen Pei felt relieved again. At this moment, Fazheng said again: "Mr. Shen, the 60,000 troops I brought will not enter the city and will camp outside the city."
Upon hearing this, Shen Pei's heart immediately lifted after he had just let go.
At this moment, Shen Pei even had the urge to scold her.
If Fazheng's army did not enter the city and the city's arrangements were in vain, could Sima Yi spare him? Thinking of Sima Yi's cold smile, Shen Pei panicked in his heart.
