Li Shiqi said seriously: "The battle report said that Zhou Bo is still dealing with the enemy in Shu County. There has been no progress and no major losses for the time being. On the contrary, the situation in Guanghan County where Your Majesty is located is not optimistic."
"What's wrong?"
Fan Kuai asked.
Li Shiqi replied: "In Luoxian County, where your Majesty is located, it is suspected that Han Xin and Peng Yue have surrendered to the Shu Kingdom and received weapons support from the Shu Kingdom. Therefore, under the current circumstances, your Majesty cannot conquer Luoxian County and is blocked in Luoxian County."
Move forward even a tiny bit."
"Asshole!"
Fan Kuai gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Han Xin, damn Peng Yue, your majesty's efforts have been wasted. They dare to betray the big man. It's really abominable."
Li Shiqi said: "Your Majesty has been unable to conquer Luoxian County for a long time, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Fan Kuai said: "Sir, if we wipe out Zangtu here earlier, we can rush to your Majesty's aid earlier. Now your Majesty, Han Xin and Peng Yue are in a stalemate in Luoxian County. Once we capture Zangtu, we can attack from behind Ba County.
Insert into the north of Guanghan County, from north to south, and attack the rear of Han Xin and Peng Yue. In this way, we can flank Han Xin, Peng Yue, what do you think?"
Li Shiqi said: "What the general said is true!"
Fan Kuai said: "But what we have to do now is to deal with Zang Tu. Sir, do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
After Li Shiqi thought about it for a while, he said seriously: "Before, we have been on the defensive and have never taken the initiative to attack. Under such circumstances, Zang Tu's army is likely to neglect its defense, giving us an opportunity to take advantage of."
"In fact, I had paid attention to Zang Tu's camp before. The layout of his military camp was very loose and not very rigorous. At first, I thought it was a trap, but during this time, I arranged for people to investigate, and it has always been
in this way."
"It can be seen that Zang Tu is a little careless."
"However, we have to investigate further."
"I suggest that we send sentries out of the city to once again investigate the situation in Zangtu's military camp. If Zangtu is really neglectful of defense, the general will send troops to attack at night, and a battle can be decided."
"According to the original plan, it would be more appropriate to wait until heavy snow falls or the temperature drops significantly before sending troops. But in the current situation, His Majesty is blocked, so we can only speed up and take the initiative."
Li Shiqi said: "But if Zangtu makes changes and the military camp is extremely tight, we will not be able to attack and can only adopt the original plan. It will not be too late to make a decision after we find out the information."
Fan Kuai said: "What you said makes sense, sir. Please make some arrangements. In the evening, we will send troops to investigate."
"Here!"
When Li eats, he responds.
…
Jiangzhou County, ten miles outside the city.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has open terrain, making it an excellent place to camp.
Zang Tu’s army was stationed here.
Chinese army tent.
Zang Tu is sitting on the throne, handling military affairs. He now has nearly 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, all of whom are Zang Tu's confidants. Zang Tu is in his early forties, but he is very young. At first glance, he seems to be only thirty
Early age.
This is because he has practiced martial arts all year round.
Nowadays, the world is undergoing great changes, and warriors have inner breath, which can prolong their lives.
Suddenly, the tent door curtain was lifted.
A middle-aged man with short stature, slightly dark cheeks, but bright eyes entered the camp.
This person is none other than Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is now in his fifties or sixties, but he also practices martial arts and takes medicine. His body has become stronger and his hair has returned to black, and he looks like he is only in his early forties.
In the past, after Cao Cao and Wang Can separated, he took Dian Wei into Bajun.
The two of them took a few people with them, and soon a group of people gathered.
However, it was difficult for Cao Cao's small number of troops to gather strength quickly. It happened that at that time, Cao Cao learned that Zang Tu was in Bajun, so he met Zang Tu in person and persuaded Zang Tu to surrender.
He surrendered to Shu.
Zang Tu now calls himself a general for the time being.
He has given up the title of King of Yan.
After all, he submitted to the Shu Kingdom, and there was no king with a different surname in the Shu Kingdom, so he could only do this. When Zang Tu was reborn, it was not that he did not want to dominate the world, but there were many princes in the world, Liu Bang was unreliable, and the other princes were too far away.
His own strength is also weak.
The best way is to choose one master and submit to him.
Therefore, Zangtu surrendered.
After Zang Tu surrendered at first, he was a little arrogant. After all, he was once the king of Yan. But as Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue and others surrendered one after another, all the pride in Zang Tu's heart was thrown away.
Zang Tu was the nominal commander, while Cao Cao was the secret controller, commanding battle after battle. At first, Zang Tu didn't think much of Cao Cao, but after seeing Cao Cao's ability, he was truly convinced.
Cao Cao.
Everything should be coordinated with Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao entered, with a faint smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to General Zang, congratulations to General Zang!"
Zang Tu put down the pen in his hand and said, "Brother Meng De, where does happiness come from?"
After Cao Cao lifted up his robe and sat down, he said: "General Zang will soon be able to see the Shu Kingdom unify the entire Yizhou. From your Majesty's side, there is a battle report saying that Liu Bang's counselor Chen Ping has surrendered to your Majesty, and that
Liu Bang's army is blocked outside Luoxian County and is now unable to advance or retreat."
"good!"
When Zang Tu heard this, he couldn't help but applaud.
A flash of light flashed across Zang Tu's eyes, and he said: "Brother Meng De, Your Majesty has already arrived in Luo County and has fought against Liu Bang. Not only that, he has also captured Chen Ping. But there has been no progress on our side.
If we don't go down to Jiangzhou County, we won't have captured the entire Ba County. We have to speed up."
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "It won't be too long before we take over Jiangzhou County."
Zang Tu asked: "Why?"
Cao Cao looked confident and said: "The truth is actually very simple. We have got the news, and Fan Kuai will also get the news from Guanghan County. Liu Bang has been unable to win, and Fan Kuai will also be worried for Liu Bang."
"As long as Fan Kuai wins, he can rush to Liu Bang's aid."
"Previously, Fan Kuai had always been defensive. If he wants to change his strategy, he must take the initiative."
"But during this period, I laid out a bait from the beginning, which was to make the camp's defense layout very simple, so that Fan Kuai's sentry would know that our camp layout was not well-defended."
"As long as Fan Kuai is eager for success, he must attack our camp."
Cao Cao looked confident and said: "Once Fan Kuai comes, we will make it impossible for him to come back. This is the bait I set out from the beginning."
Zang Tu smiled and said: "At the beginning, I didn't understand Brother Meng De's arrangement, but I didn't bring it up, but I wanted to watch the show. Now it seems that I am blind."
Cao Cao said: "General Zang is an honest gentleman!"
Zang Tu laughed and said boldly: "After waiting for such a long time, now it's time to relax and fight Fan Kuai."
Cao Cao said: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Fan Kuai to enter the urn." (To be continued)
