"General, please rise up. Thank you for your help this time. If the lord punishes you, all the responsibility will be borne by Xun. The general doesn't have to worry." Xun Wenruo stretched out his hand and said.
He did not have Cao Cao's appointment. It was also his own decision to attack Wancheng this time. In his opinion, if the news reached Xudu, it would take at least more than ten days to send soldiers and horses after consultation. At that time, Wancheng had also been made into a copper wall by Jingzhou, and it was impossible to attack it. Yes. Now that Jingzhou has just occupied Wancheng, people are disjoined. It is a good time to attack. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose a lot.
"The military division joked that he would not accept the fate of the foreign emperor. Now the situation in Wancheng is urgent, and it is reasonable for the military division to do so. Even if the master knows it, he won't blame the military division. Zang Ba arched his hand. He knew Xun Wenruo's position in Cao Cao's heart, otherwise he would not have listened to Xun Wenruo's dispatch of troops without a military order.
"Well, the general is deeply aware of his righteousness. If he captures the general of Wancheng this time, he should make his first contribution." Xun Wenruo said with a smile.
"The military division joked, but the last general did not dare to make contributions." Zang Ba bowed quickly.
"I don't know what the situation of Shangyong is now. How many soldiers and horses are there in Shangyong at present?" Xun Wenruo didn't care about Zang Ba's compliment and asked.
"The military division is reported that Shangyong originally had 10,000 troops. A few days ago, 3,000 soldiers and horses were transferred. Now Shangyong still has 7,000 soldiers and horses. This time, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses who followed the last general." Zang Ba said.
"Okay, it's enough for the general's 5,000 soldiers and horses and Fancheng's 3,000 soldiers and horses for a total of 8,000 soldiers and horses. The general will take a break and attack Thornyang and Nieyang tomorrow." Xun Wenruo ordered.
"No." Zang Ba took the order and left.
After Zang Ba left, Xun Wenruo looked at the map hanging on the wall again. Although Fancheng has 8,000 soldiers and horses, it is completely different from the 6,000 flying tiger army in Wancheng. It is definitely not an opponent, so it can only start from other aspects.
When he was in Xiangyang, Jia Xu once said that the main purpose of Jia Xu's trip to Xiangyang was grain and grass. Now, just two days after the wedding, it is impossible for Jingzhou to transport grain and grass to arrive so quickly, but Wancheng's strength is three times more than before. As long as he capture Thornyang and Nieyang, it is equivalent to cutting off the grain and grass in Wancheng. The soldiers and horses of Changwan City will naturally fall into chaos, and then it is time to attack Wancheng.
"I hope this Pang Tong is not as powerful as predicted." Xun Wenruo sighed. He was completely unfamiliar with Pang Tong. His strategy was not very secretive. People with a little vision could see it. At this time, he was only pinning on Pang Tong and not too prominent.
"Military division, don't let me directly lead the troops into Wancheng to get the dog heads of Pang Tong and Gan Ning." Xu Chu, who was beside him, said impatiently when he saw that Xun Wen was so cautious.
"The city of Wancheng is tall, and the lord has not been able to attack the army several times. In fact, we can capture thousands of soldiers and horses, not to mention the strength of the Flying Tiger Army. With our 8,000 soldiers, how can we be the opponent of the 6,000 Flying Tiger Army?" Xun Wenruo shook his head.
"That's true." Xu Chu's face was also a little gloomy. He has seen the strength of the Flying Tiger Army. If it is true that the soldiers and horses of Fancheng fight with the Flying Tiger Army, the Flying Tiger Army can easily disperse the 8,000 soldiers and horses of Fancheng.
"It's still a step late after all. If Jingzhou makes a move, why is it so passive to persuade Zhang Xiu?" Xun Wenruo shook his head and sighed.
"The military division is assured that when the soldiers and horses reinforced by the lord arrive, they will definitely be able to drive Na Ganning out of Wancheng." Xu Chu looked at Xun Wenruo's bitter face and said.
The next morning, the 8,000 soldiers in Fancheng, except for a thousand soldiers and horses left behind, the other 7,000 soldiers and horses followed Xun Wenruo to leave Fancheng. After Xun Wenruo led the soldiers and horses out of Fancheng, he bypassed Wancheng and rushed to Thornyang and Nieyang.
Just as soon as Xun Wen Ruo's soldiers and horses left Fancheng, some soldiers immediately went to Wancheng to report about Fancheng to Pang Tong. Pang Tong was not too surprised by Xun Wenruo's movements. He just ordered the scouts to pay close attention to the movement of Xun Wenruo's army.
However, on a mountain not far from Wancheng, Wu Xiong, with a thousand flying tigers, also received orders from Pang Tong and quietly left all the way.
Wei Yan, who guarded Thornyang, also received the news that Xun Wenruo's army was coming to invade. Wei Yan did not decide to defend this, but left Thornyang with 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet Xun Wenruo's army. At this time, Xun Wenruo, who rushed to Thornyang, also received a report from the scouts, and 3,000 soldiers and horses were blocked in front of him.
On an open space ten miles outside Thornyang City, Wei Yan waited with 3,000 soldiers and horses. Soon, Xun Wenruo came over with 8,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing the 3,000 soldiers and horses in front of him, Xun Wenruo did not hesitate to leave a thousand soldiers and horses to camp in place. He came up with the rest of the soldiers and horses, and the two armies looked at each other. All the banners are full of solemn wind and wind.
"Do you know who this person is?" Xun Wenruo turned his head and asked the people behind him.
"I don't know who this person is, but this person is definitely not Gan Ning. I think he is a young general in Jingzhou." A scout leader came forward.
"Oh, it's not Gan Ning. Pang Tong knew that he ordered his generals not to defend it, but he sent a nameless young general to guard the thorn Yang. Didn't he know that it would be counterproductive? Xun Wenruo said with a smile. Thornyang is just a small county. The city doesn't have to be tall. If the army is under pressure, it won't last long.
"I saw that Pang Tong was just a famous person. He took advantage of Zhang Xiu's careless intention to take Wancheng and picked up a bargain. Now the military division leads the army to this person to determine defeat." Zang Ba came forward.
"At this time, you can't make a judgment. General Zang Ba, if you are a general in the army, go forward to try this young general in Jingzhou. It would be better if you can kill nature." Xun Wenruo looked at Zang's hegemony.
According to the intelligence of the scouts, the 6,000 flying tiger army in Wancheng did not leave Wancheng, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses in front of them are all the soldiers and horses except the 6,000 flying tiger army. As long as these soldiers and horses are defeated, it is easy to take down the thorn Yang.
"No!"
"Drive!"
After receiving Xun Wenruo's order, Zang Ba rushed out of the army with a long knife behind his horse's back. It was also a great credit to be able to kill the person in front of him. The status of Wancheng is extremely important. Naturally, it is impossible for Zang Ba to miss this opportunity to make contributions. Therefore, he has decided to kill this person after receiving Xun Wenruo's order.
"Zang Ba is here, who dares to come out to fight." Zang Ba's long knife in his hand pointed to Wei Yan and shouted harshly, and the fierce spirit followed.
Seeing that Zang Ba was so fierce, all three thousand soldiers and horses were chilled. They all turned their heads and looked at Wei Yan. Wei Yan hummed and patted the horse on the back and came out of the army.
Who are you? Hurry up and get your name." Zang Ba saw that Wei Yan was so young and despised him. He thought that Wei Yan was young and angry, so he led the soldiers and horses to fight.
"Wei Yan. Who are you?" Wei Yan raised his hand slightly and pointed to Zang Domineering.
"Haha, it turned out to be an unknown pawn. It seems that Pang Tongtu has a false reputation and sent an unknown pawn to die." Zang Ba said that the long knife in his hand clenched and pointed to Wei Yan and shouted, "Your grandfather Zang Ba, come and die quickly."
While shouting, he patted the horse and rushed to Wei Yan. Wei Yan's cold eyes and pointed to Zang Ba in his hand. At the moment Zang Ba rushed in, he also patted the horse to greet him. Wei Yan has heard of Zang Ba. After all, when he comes to guard the two counties of Thornyang, he naturally knows the generals under Xun Wenruo's command. Now Xun Wenruo is outside, except for Xu Chu beside him, only Shangyong's general Zang Ba can be used.
Although Wei Yan never underestimated his opponent, he did not pay attention to Zang Ba, so he turned a blind eye to Zang Ba's provocation, but he made up his mind to kill Zang Ba here.
"Dang!" The two passed by mistake, and the sound of the collision of weapons in their hands was deaf and loud.
"The boy is good. He can catch me, but at this point, you can die." Zang Ba said that the movements in his hand did not slow down and turned the horse's head and rushed to Wei Yan again. In his eyes, Wei Yan was just an unknown young general. How could he stop his long knife?
"Humph!"
Wei Yan didn't talk nonsense with Zang Ba. He spit out a letter like a spirit snake in his hand, and suddenly stabbed in front of Zang Ba. Wei Yan's action was unexpected, but Zang Ba was shocked and sweated coldly. He quickly raised his knife to block Changqi. Then he was furious. He actually suffered a loss in the hands of an unknown young general, and he was still in front of thousands of troops. He was angry.
"Daw boy." Zang Ba held his head high and stabbed at Wei Yan. This time, Zang Ba was really angry. The strength in his hand was many times greater than just now, and he wanted to kill Wei Yan on the spot.
"Dang!" Looking at Zang Ba's movements, Wei Yan sneered and raised his hand to block Zang Ba's full strength.
"How is that possible?" Zang Ba felt the tremor on his arm and was extremely shocked. The strength of his knife, even those famous generals, could not resist it so easily. What ability did the young man in front of him have to block his knife?
At this time, the anger in Zang Ba's heart had disappeared, and his heart was full of doubts. When would such a powerful general come out of Jingzhou?
However, Wei Yan, who was opposite, didn't care about Zang Ba's surprise. Chang Yan blocked Zang Ba's knife, and his arm suddenly pushed out Zang Ba, who was still a little stunned. Chang Yan took the opportunity to take Zang Ba's heart straight.
At this time, Zang Ba had woken up and waved the long knife in his hand, trying to block the long knife in front of him, but it was still a little late after all.
"Dang!"
"Puff!"
With the sound of Changqi penetrating the armor, Wei Yan's hand directly penetrated the armor in Zang Ba's chest and pierced Zang Ba's heart.
"How is that possible?" Zang Ba looked at the long man who pierced his chest and looked in disbelief. He took a stare at Wei Yan unwillingly before he fell down. He didn't understand why the young man in front of him was so powerful until he died.
