Three Kingdoms

In mid-to-late October, the temperature in the mountains has gradually dropped. With the mist blowing one after another, the slight winter chill seems to be gradually approaching, and the days are gradually shortening. Not only is it bright at night, but it is also dark. Get there early.

Wu Yi's soldiers stationed on the west bank of Fushui were woken up from their sleep by the military academy early. Taking advantage of the clear gray sky, they began a busy and chaotic day.

What exactly is war?

Some people say it's like a game of chess, some say it's a grab for territory, some say it's a fight for interests. Everyone may have a different view, but no matter which one, it's actually full of blood and darkness.

Wu Yi also woke up early. He had not slept well in the past two days and was extremely restless.

A confidant guard came to the tent with a basin of hot water, and another guard quickly stepped forward and opened the tent door. Suddenly, a cold wind rushed in, letting Wu Yi, who was only wearing a middle coat, I couldn't help but shiver.

"Damn it, why are you doing such a big thing! Didn't you see that the general just got up! General, it's windy today, be careful not to catch the cold..."

Wu Yi nodded, took the cloak and put it on first, then remained silent for a moment, and while taking the hot towel handed over by the guard, he said: "Is there any movement from Zhengxi people and horses?"

"Reporting to the general, it seems that we have temporarily set up camp at the mountain stronghold..."

Wu Yi covered his face with the hot towel in his hand, as if this way he could absorb the temperature in the hot towel and make his thinking more vivid.

After hearing that Wei Yan defeated three villages in one day, Wu Yi immediately became restless, and he didn't even sleep well last night.

In Wu Yi's view, Wei Yan ignored Zitong's Sichuan and Shu soldiers and directly attacked Fu County. This fact itself seemed very incredible. Normally, no one wants to expose their side to the enemy, but how could General Zhengxi not know such a simple truth?

So what was the reason that led Zhengxi to choose such an offensive line?

Wu Yi had no way of knowing.

"Come here! Cook early! After cooking the meat early, we can form an array on the side of Fushui!" Wu Yi ordered.

If Wei Yan really comes, he can at least get someone to wait for work!

This time Wu Yi led his troops and chose to attack Wei Yan here in Fushui. This was also a risky move, but Wu Yi had to come.

It is impossible for a person to live alone forever, but as long as he lives in a group, he will inevitably be affected by other people in the group. The fact that Wu Yi fought against Wei Yan in Guanghan was not a very glorious thing for Wu Yi, and it was naturally not a secret in Sichuan. Now Wu Yi and Liu Bei are cooperating and commanding a part of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers. There is so much meat anyway, so Wu Yi eats a few more bites. Naturally, others have not had meat for a long time, so they naturally have some opinions. This muttering voice It naturally reached Wu Yi's ears.

If he were to be a coward again, it would be safe to do so, but it would inevitably attract a lot of criticism. Therefore, Wu Yi had to use his record to prove that he had to get up where he fell. In order to convince the public, Defeating Wei Yan has become Wu Yi's best choice at the moment, bar none.

Therefore, Wu Yisi thought about it and decided to take the initiative the next day and formed a formation on the west bank of Fushui to resist the enemy. On the one hand, he said that he was not afraid of Wei Yan and dared to fight Wei Yan's army head-on. On the other hand, he also wanted to buy more time. Allow your own soldiers upstream to store water smoothly.

…………………………

Almost at the same time, when Wu Yi decided to form a formation in Fushui to intercept Wei Yan's advance, Wei Yan was also considering his next move.

Wei Yan was naturally adventurous, so when he heard that Fei Qian, the General of the Western Expedition, had arranged for him to be the most dangerous vanguard in a battle involving Arrancar, Wei Yan was not afraid at all, only excited.

As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.

The sky had just brightened, and Wei Yan had already put on his armor. He was standing under the commander's flag outside the Chinese army's tent. The soldiers coming and going could see him at a glance.

As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, you do not need to be busy all the time, but you need to let all your soldiers know where to find people when they encounter problems. With a backbone to support you, the morale of the army will naturally be stable.

However, Wei Yan was not as confident as he seemed on the surface.

"Fu County, Zitong, Guanghan..." Wei Yan muttered in a low voice, the three place names floating in the corner of his mouth.

Although when setting off, Xu Shu said that Wei Yan was mainly responsible for the forward movement, he also stated that if orders came from Huang Cheng who was following behind, Wei Yan must also obey Huang Cheng's arrangements.

Huang Cheng’s men...

Walking through the mountains and forests is like walking on flat ground, almost like a mountain monkey. However, it is obvious that it is not impossible for such a force to be used in a head-on battle, but it is too wasteful. If Wei Yan was the commander-in-chief, he would not easily let this group of "mountain monkeys" be wasted in a head-on duel.

Wei Yan is now a chess piece, which he doesn't dislike, but he also hopes to be able to break away from the identity of a chess piece and become a chess player soon, so he is required to be able to see the chess board clearly, understand his opponent, and know which move should be made How to go down, why to go down...

So, besides letting his own troops cover his tracks, does Huang Cheng have any other purpose behind following him?

If there is any goal, what is it?

That's right, Wei Yan is now trying to break away from his current identity as a chess piece, and is beginning to prepare to analyze from a higher level, to figure out why General Zhengxi and Xu Shu arranged this, trying to learn from such an arrangement so that he can Nutrients for growth.

Wei Yan thought about it, and then suddenly realized something. He stood up, walked around twice, then stopped again, turned his eyes, then couldn't help but spin around twice more, suddenly raised his head, laughed twice, and then The guards were called: "Give a message to General Huang behind you, saying that I will march ten miles today and go to the stronghold!"

"Ten miles?" The guard thought he heard wrongly.

Wei Yan chuckled and said, "That's right, Shili! Let's just say that if General Huang has any other instructions, you are just reporting to Yu, go ahead!"

…………………………

In a valley about ten miles behind Wei Yan, Huang Cheng quickly received the news sent by Wei Yan.

"Ten miles?" Huang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, just do as your general says..."

Yesterday, Huang Cheng heard that Wei Yan had conquered three strongholds in one day, and Huang Cheng was not happy but worried. Huang Cheng also didn't expect Wei Yan to be so sharp. Like a sharp steel knife, he rushed directly and broke through the outermost defense system of Fujian County in one fell swoop.

Fu County can be roughly divided into three defense circles. The outermost ones are the three cottage outposts that Wei Yan conquered, which are not too far apart. The purpose of these three copycats was to delay, and to warn others later, so it was only a matter of time before they were breached. However, the speed of Wei Yan's attack was really unexpected.

The second layer of defense in Fuling County is naturally the several ferries up and down the Fuling River, especially the ferry closest to Fuling. It is the focus of the second layer of defense, and Wu Yi is here.

The third layer is naturally the county wall defense system of Fujian itself.

These defense systems are normal. If we really want to attack Fujian, then we must sweep up the outer Sichuan and Shu armies and defeat them, and then we can peacefully carry out the siege.

But the problem is that Fei Qian and Xu Shu, the generals who conquered the west, did not want to engage in a costly siege from the beginning.

If Wei Yan only knew a small part of the overall battle plan for the expedition to the west, then Huang Cheng knew at least half of it.

In a game between two sides, the inferior chess player will only follow the opponent's steps, and the opponent's next move will be a move, just like in Go, where he clearly memorizes a large number of changes in formulas, and then moves exactly the same. After coming out, I finally found that all my responses were obviously the best, but I lost...

If we go to conquer Sichuan and Shu city by city, it will waste time and soldiers. All the generals who conquered the west adopted the strategy of attacking the heart before Fei Feiqian, so now that the troops are sent to Fu County, it will naturally still be a battle of heart. , just starting from another angle.

Huang Chengdu was originally going to send someone to contact Wei Yan, but Wei Yan took the lead and made it clear that he would only travel ten miles. Huang Cheng immediately knew that Wei Yan had also figured it out, and he couldn't help but think highly of Wei Yan. After all, there are many generals who know how to do what they are told, but not many who know not only what is happening but also why.

It seems that Wei Yan's potential is quite good...

…………………………

the next day.

Wu Yi looked up at the sky.

Although the autumn sun is not as hot as summer, it should not be underestimated. Especially in the past two days, the autumn air has been crisp and cloudless. It is indeed a good weather, but it also means that Wu Yi and others do not even have a cloud to cover them, so they can only dry in the sun...

Counting the time, it should be almost here!

Wu Yi was a little anxious.

The soldiers from Sichuan and Sichuan below had already started talking about it. Some middle-level generals and commanders gave orders at first, but then they shut up and allowed the soldiers to whisper to each other...

Who the hell has been standing in line for a long time without even seeing a ghost? How could he not have any complaints in his stomach?

Wu Yi looked up at the sky again.

The sun was shining brightly, and it seemed to be mocking him, spreading an unreserved smile down his face.

"Come here!" Wu Yi called the scouts, "Go and check to see where the Zhengxi troops are!"

…………………………

The fourth day.

In the first two days, Wu Yi was still a little happy.

It is better to go slowly, slower is better, it is best to wait until the intercepting dam is built...

But as time went by, Wu Yi's secret joy slowly turned into doubt.

What happened? I walked ten miles on the first day, ten miles on the second day, and stopped moving at all on the third day!

What kind of trick is this?

The interception dam in Fushui was completed in a hurry last night. After a night of water storage, Wu Yi could already see that the water level had dropped significantly. Now everything was ready, all it needed was for people to come.

But what about this person?

The distance of the last twenty miles made Wu Yi very embarrassed. The Zhengxi troops must have known that he was here, but they just didn't show up.

Could it be that the upstream business was discovered?

However, the scouts and warnings placed around did not return any news. In addition, water attack strategies are generally used in spring and summer. In autumn and winter, due to low water, it is not easy to use, so normally there will be no one. When you think of this, in this season, it is normal to defend against fire attacks.

In addition, the upper reaches of Fushui River are rugged, and normally no one would take a detour to check it out. Therefore, Wu Yi believed that his water attack strategy could be said to be original, and it must have exceeded Wei Yan's expectations, but now , Wu Yi himself couldn't help but muttered a little, and he was no longer so sure in his heart.

Amidst the anxiety, it was another day of perseverance, but on the fifth day, the situation suddenly changed.

Early in the morning, Wu Yi sent scouts across Fushui to investigate. At this moment, he really couldn't sit still. But the news reported by the scouts surprised Wu Yi. Wei Yan's men were missing! Judging from the traces, it seems that they were evacuated overnight last night!

Withdrawn?

Why?

So what do I do now?

Continue to wait here, should we withdraw our troops and return to Fu County, or...

…………………………

"General Huang, why did General Wei retreat?"

On the hillside, Jiao Zong looked at Wei Yan and his soldiers disappearing into the distance of the mountain road, and asked with some confusion.

Jiao Zong, whose courtesy name is Shouyi, is brave and good at riding and shooting. He heard that General Zhengxi fought in Bingbei and fought against Xianbei and Fuyin Mountain. He was fascinated by it, so he joined some good family members and came to join General Zhengxi. Now he is under Huang Cheng's command. , which is the length of a song for the time being.

Huang Cheng smiled naively, glanced at Jiao Zong, and said, "Haha, we don't really want to attack Fujian, why don't we retreat?"

In addition to being serious when issuing military orders, Huang Cheng smiled innocently most of the time, so he also had a kind of affinity. Therefore, several Qu Changjun Hou who followed him including Jiao Zong couldn't help but feel a little strange when they heard this. , if we didn’t hit Fujian, why did we come all the way?

"Have you ever caught fish?" Huang Cheng said with a smile, "To catch fish, you have to put some bait..."

Jiao Zong and others couldn't help but be stunned.

"Okay, let's go get to work," Huang Cheng waved his hand and said, "We'll just wait here. Go back and take a closer look to make sure you don't expose the secret... to see which fish took the bait..."

"General, don't worry!"

"My subordinate understands!"

A group of people responded one after another, then dispersed to make arrangements individually.

Huang Cheng stood on the hillside, paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at a guard beside him. The guard understood and retreated silently. When it comes to fishing, the rivers outside naturally need to be fished, and the ponds inside need to be looked at at least a few times to ensure that a certain fish is hooked, right?

Huang Cheng looks simple and honest on the outside, but in fact he is very delicate in his heart. His men are not only people from Xiliang and the north, but also some soldiers from Hanzhong, and even some from Jingxiang...

Just like Jiao Zong, didn't he also come from Jingxiang?

The mountains are floating freely, blowing the grass and trees in the mountains. The green mountains and green shades are extremely pure, reflecting the restlessness of the world.
