Lin Ping said solemnly: "General, for the current plan, we can only ask for help. We ask your Majesty for help and ask your Majesty to send more elites to Guanghan County to completely wipe out Yingbu and those who are hiding. Now we are trapped in
Dilemma. If you want to break the situation, you must ask for reinforcements."
"No, never!"
Guanying answered directly.
There was determination and determination in his words. He was unwilling to ask for reinforcements.
Guan Ying was also a general under Liu Bang. Like the other generals, he also guarded his own side. In any case, he was unwilling to send people back to Chengdu to ask for help.
Lin Ping was quite helpless when he heard Guan Ying's words.
He suggested asking for help, but Guan Ying disagreed.
What does this make him do?
He is also very helpless!
After all, in the current situation, he didn't know what to do except ask for help.
Guan Ying said again: "Lin Ping, we must find a way to solve the current predicament. Otherwise, this battle will not need to be fought at all, and we will be completely defeated."
Lin Ping felt angry and unhappy.
Guan Ying wanted to save face, but asked him to think of a solution, but he couldn't think of a solution.
It was during the confrontation with Yingbu that Lin Ping felt that his brain was not used up enough, and he even had a few more gray hairs on his head.
Lin Ping took a deep breath and said: "General, I think that staying in Sanshui County when food is scarce in Sanshui County is the worst plan. In that case, let's go south. After all, we have many people.
Even if we encounter Yingbu who breaks out, we can still win. Now if we stay in Sanshui County, we will definitely not be able to do it."
"Going south?"
Guan Ying murmured, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
Suddenly, Guan Ying's plan came to his mind and he said: "Yes, let's lead the army south and use the plan to lure the snake out of the hole."
Lin Ping asked: "General, what does it mean to follow a plan? What does it mean to lure a snake out of its hole?"
Guan Ying smiled slightly and said: "The so-called taking advantage of the situation is that when the food was robbed by Yingbu's troops, we were short of food and had to go south, to Zitong County."
"The other party stole the food to force us to leave the county."
"The general knows very well that if we continue to stay in the county, Yingbu and the others will have no chance. They have robbed the food and spread the news wantonly to make us go south."
"So, we took advantage of the situation and headed south."
Guan Ying's eyes flashed as he continued: "As for luring the snake out of its hole, when we went south this time, we divided into two groups of soldiers. The first wave of soldiers was our large army. We used the large army to go ahead and attract Yingbo's army.
"
"As long as the Yingbo, Qiang and third-party forces take action, once they confront our front army, our second wave of absolute elites will immediately rush out, cut off the opponent's retreat, and the two armies will attack."
"In this case, the other side will definitely lose."
"Although judging from the current news, the opponent's cavalry is very elite and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. However, under the fierce attack of our army, they will definitely be defeated."
Guan Ying said: "Lin Ping, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Lin Ping said: "The general is wise!"
Guan Ying waved his hand and said, "Since you have no objection, then let's proceed according to this plan."
"Here!"
Lin Ping bowed his hands in agreement.
After the two decided on a plan, they began to prepare for action.
However, even if he were to set off to go south, it would not be something that could be completed immediately. Guan Ying's journey south would involve all aspects of matters, and he would also have to settle various matters in Sanshui County, which would take a while.
While Guan Ying was busy preparing to go south, Wang Can and his party quietly continued to go north.
Wang Can led his army northward and was cautious along the way.
He cannot reveal his whereabouts.
The team either traveled day and night, or took trails in the mountains, heading towards Sanshui County in the north.
"Report!"
When Wang Can led his army to the north, a sentry quickly ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, Guan Ying has sent out troops."
Wang Can asked: "What's going on?"
The sentinel reported carefully: "Our brothers have found out that Guan Ying has led all the troops and has left Sanshui County. However, Guan Ying's troops are divided into two groups this time."
"His first group of troops, the main infantry, numbered about six thousand, and had already left through the official route. The remaining two thousand soldiers were sent out after dark, and their whereabouts were quietly hidden.
"
"He intended to hide his whereabouts, but he didn't know that our people were keeping an eye on the area near Sanshui County for twelve hours, so they discovered Guan Ying's move to send out troops in two groups."
The scout asked: "Your Majesty, how should we respond?"
Wang Can narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and said with a smile: "So, the soldiers Guan Ying sent earlier were bait, deliberately attracting us to attack. Once these soldiers are attacked, they will definitely be attacked.
Then, Guanying's 2,000 soldiers may finally attack and cut off our retreat."
Han Xin said seriously: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Can said: "General Han, under the current circumstances, do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Han Xin smiled confidently and said: "Your Majesty, under the current circumstances, it is easy to deal with Guan Ying. As long as Guan Ying leaves Sanshui County, he has taken off his turtle shell and lost his greatest weapon."
"Your Majesty, I recommend attacking Sanshui County."
"With our military strength, there is no need to go head-to-head with Guan Ying's army. What we have to do is fight flexibly. We have fewer troops, and the more flexible we are in fighting, the more advantageous it will be."
Han Xin said: "So, we bypassed Guan Ying's army, pretended to be Guan Ying's troops, and quietly captured Sanshui County. Guan Ying's army divided into two groups and advanced, obviously waiting for us to rob and kill. But unfortunately
, we will not go and deliberately disrupt the rhythm. Only in this way can Guan Ying proceed according to our plan."
When Wang Can heard this, he also showed a smile on his face and said: "The one who knows me is Han Xin! I have thought about the current situation and feel that this is the best plan under the current circumstances."
Han Xin said: "Since your Majesty has no objection, I am ready to make arrangements."
Wang Can said: "Let's make arrangements."
"Here!"
Han Xin turned around and immediately gave the order.
The army under Wang Can took a detour and took the remaining paths to the north, and missed Guan Ying's army heading south. The result was that Guan Ying did not know Wang Can's movement and location, while Wang Can knew Guan Ying's.
The situation is well understood.
Guan Ying divided his army into two groups and rushed on the road.
He himself was in the first wave of troops.
The first wave of more than 6,000 troops was used to attract Wang Can and was used as bait. Even if it was a bait, there were still 6,000 troops. Furthermore, Guan Ying, as the general, must be there.
If Guan Ying is not here, then this army is fake.
Guan Ying led the soldiers south and walked for two days. By this time, his army was far away from Sanshui County and had reached the middle position between Sanshui County and Zitong County. The distance from Zitong County was the longest, which was only one day.
much time.
At noon, the army stopped to rest.
Guan Ying rested with his back against a big tree.
Beside him, Lin Ping and other generals were resting around him.
Guan Ying thought about it, but he felt that something was wrong. He thought that after walking most of the way, he still did not encounter Yingbo's army, and thought that the situation had changed.
Or maybe Yingbu didn't go according to his plan.
Guan Ying was thinking in his mind, looked at Lin Ping and said, "Lin Ping, we have traveled such a long way south, but we haven't fought with Ying Bu's army yet. Do you think he won't show up again?"
Lin Ping said: "General, under the current circumstances, I think this may be the case. Perhaps Yingbu has discovered our intention, so he has never come to rob us."
"Of course, it is also possible that Yingbu is standing still and is still lurking in secret."
"The further south you go, the lower your vigilance becomes."
"When we arrive near Zitong County, our alertness will be lowered, and Yingbu may suddenly attack. Just imagine, when we have relaxed our vigilance and are unprepared, we will be suddenly attacked and we will be in trouble immediately.
"
Lin Ping suggested: "General, I think that under the current circumstances, we have to continue going south. This is a strategy we have set and cannot be changed easily. Furthermore, even if Yingbu does not attack, we can still go to Zitong County for supplies.
"
"This is also true."
Guan Ying thought about it and realized that what Lin Ping said made sense.
Under the current situation, he had no solution but to grit his teeth and go south.
Guan Ying rolled his eyes and said coldly: "It's really difficult for us to fight Yingbu this time. He is so cunning and slippery, it's really troublesome. This time we took down Yingbu and the secret one."
With the power to take action, I want to see what kind of situation the other party is in that makes us so difficult."
Lin Ping said: "After Yingbu is captured, the general will slowly interrogate him."
The two discussed and decided on the next strategy.
When Guan Ying continued to move south, he did not expect that an army would suddenly appear in Sanshui County, which was less than ten miles away from the county seat of Sanshui County.
This army is surprisingly Wang Can and his party.
The army led by Wang Can wanted to falsely open the city gate. He led Luo Cheng and his party and quietly approached Sanshui County.
The ten-mile journey did not take long.
When Wang Can and his party arrived outside the city, all the Bai Ma Qiang team stayed behind, including Yingbu and Zhong Jin. Because of the special body shape of the Baima Qiang, there was a certain difference between them and the Han people. If they went to cheat,
The city gate is easy to be discovered. Yingbu and Zhongjin often fight with Guan Ying, and they are also worried about being discovered.
Therefore, the only people who followed Wang Can to Zhicheng were soldiers under Yingbu's command and soldiers trained by Han Xin himself.
There are about a thousand of these soldiers.
This team of nearly a thousand people arrived at the foot of the city tower in a short time. In today's Sanshui County, some soldiers were stationed after Guan Ying left, just to avoid being attacked.
When the soldiers stationed at the city gate saw someone coming to kill them, they quickly shouted: "Stop!" (To be continued)
