The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Ziming shook his head speechlessly. It was Liu Bei's arrangement that he could bring Dian Wei here. Dian Wei had only one task, bringing five thousand guards to protect Chen Ziming's safety. The battle was left to other people.

Chen Ziming was also suffering. There were [-] strongest elites around him, but they could not be used casually. Unless he charged in person, these [-] elites would not have much use for them, which made Chen Ziming very depressed.

But let Chen Ziming charge, how is this possible, Chen Ziming is very life-saving, when Liu Bei asked Dianwei to lead people to protect Chen Ziming, Chen Ziming did not mean to refuse at all, with Dianwei and these elite protection, the chance of survival is much greater You must know that Dian Wei is the number one bodyguard of the Three Kingdoms.

"Cao Hong, you are as timid as a mouse..."

After listening to Zhang Fei yelling and cursing for a while, Chen Ziming returned to the camp bored. Only a fierce man like Zhang Fei could not hold back his anger when he yelled like this. It was almost impossible to scold Cao Hong, but Chen Ziming did not place any hope On Zhang Fei.

"Report!"

"General, after the enemy general Zhang Fei yelled and cursed outside the city for a while, he dismounted from his horse and slept on the grass outside the city..."

The captain who came to report was also speechless. Zhang Fei was too contemptuous of them. He brought a dozen or so people to fight without saying a word, and slept carelessly outside the city. As long as Cao Hong gave an order, he would take people out to get Next Zhang Fei.

"Humph!"

After Cao Hong heard this, his face was full of anger, but he calmed down quickly. After taking a deep breath, he ordered all the generals not to open the city gate privately, otherwise the military law will be followed.

Cao Hong had decided that Zhang Fei was trying to lure the enemy, otherwise he would never have done such absurd things. Even if Zhang Fei might do this, but there was Chen Ziming behind Zhang Fei.

After Chen Ziming heard that Zhang Fei was sleeping outside Shangdang City, he was also speechless for a while. He was also worried that something would happen to Zhang Fei, so he immediately sent people to ambush outside the city. Just saw some figures.

There is a piece of flat land outside Shangdang City. Standing on the top of the city tower, you can see everything in a glance, and there is no cover at all.So Chen Ziming ordered someone to call Zhang Fei back and sleep in the camp, so everyone can feel at ease.

On the second day, Chen Ziming took Dianwei to call the battle, and almost scolded Cao Hong. If Mao Jie hadn't tried his best to stop him, Cao Hong would have already fought, because Chen Ziming taught Dianwei some special words, which made Cao Hong unable to suppress the emotion in his heart. anger.

Not to mention Cao Hong who was scolded, even Dian Wei felt a little embarrassed, because those words were indeed a bit ahead of the times.

"Damn Chen Ziming, damn Dian Wei!!!"

The furious Cao Hong could only lose his temper on the city tower, but Mao Jie stopped him with death, and Cao Hong had no choice.

"General, Dian Wei should be a strong general, and now he is the commander of Liu Bei's personal guard. Back then, he could fight Lu Bu in a close battle..." Mao Jie tried hard to persuade him, fearing that Cao Hong would lead his troops out of the city, and Zhong Affected Chen Ziming's calculations.

In fact, Mao Jie's cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness. If Cao Hongzhen led troops out of the city, Chen Ziming could only turn around and run away, because he didn't arrange any ambush at all, and there was no good ambush outside the city of Shangdang.

Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry is still being repaired, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao's cavalry have long since left the camp, and are even far away from Shangdang now, and all he can use is Dian Wei's five thousand guard cavalry, and he only obeys Dian Wei's orders , did not leave Chen Ziming's side at all.

The reason why Chen Ziming took the risk to show his face was to show that he was still here, so that Cao Hong would not think about other things. Chen Ziming also wanted other generals to come to the battle, but now he can take the ones around him, and let Cao Hong take them seriously. Zhang Fei and Dian Wei, Zhang Fei came, Chen Ziming was really worried, and it was Zhang Fei who came to call for battle, which easily made Cao Hong and Mao Jie suspicious.

To find a way, Chen Ziming could only go into battle in person, anyway, with Dian Wei following him, and elite cavalry guards, the troops and horses in Shangdang City really couldn't keep Chen Ziming.

"wrong!"

Seeing Chen Ziming going away, Mao Jie suddenly felt uneasy, and immediately frowned and thought.

"Military division, what's wrong?"

Cao Hong hurriedly asked, he had been so angry these two days, but after all, he was a general in charge of the army, and he was still able to stabilize his emotions. Now he was really afraid that Chen Ziming would make trouble, and he had no choice. The pressure is not small.

"There is a flat river here, there is no cover, and it is not easy to ambush." ​​Mao Jie pointed to the terrain outside the city and said: "Although there are pennants flying in the distance, but watching quietly, there is no army in ambush, and Chen Ziming called the battle like this, we will fall into the trap later. , with Chen Ziming's talent, how could he do such a useless thing?"

From Mao Jie's point of view, Chen Ziming's current performance is too incompatible with his intelligence, unless Chen Ziming treats both him and Cao Hong as idiots, he will think that he can catch Cao Hong in a whimsical way.

"In that case, then Chen Ziming must have other plans..." Mao Jie frowned even deeper, and for some reason, his heart became more and more uneasy, and he had some bad guesses.

"Is there any reward for serving, and is there any change in the enemy's soldiers and horses?" Mao Jie hurriedly asked Cao Hong.

"The servants report that there are enemy cavalry outside the city. They can't get close to the enemy's camp, but from a distance, there is no mobilization of the army." Chen Ziming had already sent people to seal off the surrounding area of ​​Shangdang. How could Cao Hong's servants find out? The situation in the camp.

"If the enemy troops come out at night, can we find out?" Mao Jie immediately thought of a possibility and asked hurriedly.

"This..." Cao Hong said in a deep voice, "It's dark outside the city at night, there is no light, and it is difficult to monitor."

Chapter 435 The Conspiracy of Mao Jie

Cao Hong realized something and looked at Mao Jie suddenly.

"Jingyang is under siege, how can Chen Ziming feel at ease here to waste time with us, he must have a plan." Mao Jie said firmly: "From Shangdang, the only ones are Jingyang in the northwest and Hangu Pass in the southwest."

"If Chen Ziming sends troops to Jingyang, he should go with him. Otherwise, he will only go for more than [-] riders, and it will be difficult to change the situation of the battle. However, if Chen Ziming is here, if he sends troops to go, there is only Hangu Pass." Mao Jie analyzed with a frown.

You must know that besides Cao Cao's 20 army and Xianbei's [-] cavalry outside Jingyang City, this is not comparable to Cao Hong's troops, and Cao Cao has a lot of talents around him, and there are many fierce generals. Chen Ziming's troops are not enough for Cao Cao to dare to go. Gap between teeth.

"Hangu Pass used to have an army of [-], but now it has been split up, and there are still [-] soldiers. Hangu Pass is dangerous, and Chen Ziming only has [-] cavalry. There are still many cavalry in the camp outside the city. If you send troops to Hangu Pass, at most With more than [-] riders, how can we break through the pass?" Cao Hong understood what Mao Jie meant, but after careful calculation, Chen Ziming also had no ability to attack Hangu Pass.

How important Hangu Pass is to Cao Cao. Cao Hong knows that after Hangu Pass is Hongnong, and after Hongnong is Luoyang. If Hangu Pass is lost, Cao Cao's base camp will be completely exposed to Liu Bei's army.

Therefore, Hangu Pass has always been guarded by a large army. Even if the battle is difficult now, Cao Hong still has more than 2 people guarding Hangu Pass, and 2 people defend it. Unless Liu Bei sends [-] troops to attack Hangu Pass, it is impossible to win down.

Now don't say that Chen Ziming sent [-] cavalry to attack Hangu Pass, even if Chen Ziming took [-] cavalry to attack Hangu Pass, it would be impossible to capture such a powerful pass. Jingyang.

"If Chen Ziming sent someone to swindle open the gate of Hangu Pass and then attack it, can Hangu Pass be defended?" Mao Jie asked Cao Hong again, because smart people would come up with a good way to break through such a powerful pass as Hangu Pass , rather than a blind attack.

"Zhang Tai and Su Fei, the guards of Hangu Pass, are courageous and resourceful people. Knowing that the situation here is unfavorable, they will definitely guard Hangu Pass strictly and take precautions. They will never open and close the gate easily." Cao Hong said to the guards guarding Hangu Pass The general is still very confident, otherwise they would not be left to guard such an important pass.

"If so." Mao Jie looked at Cao Hong indifferently, and said coldly, "They didn't know that the general was defeated here..."

"I'm sure I'll be careless." Cao Hong shuddered. As the commander, he could of course imagine the situation he would face now. Liu Bei was besieged on all sides, and he couldn't send a large army to attack Hangu Pass, and Cao Hong led an army in front. The general guarding Guguan certainly did not expect that there would be an enemy army to attack.

If Chen Ziming sent rangers to block the road at Hangu Pass first, so that the battle situation here could not be transmitted to Hangu Pass, and then sent people to pretend to be Cao Jun, the chances of deceiving the city gates were very high.

"Gather the soldiers and horses quickly."

With a loud roar, Cao Hong wanted to lead his troops back to Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass must not be lost, otherwise the consequences would be too serious.

"No." Mao Jie called Cao Hong to stop, and continued: "This is all my guesswork. If Chen Ziming didn't send troops to attack Hangu Pass, but instead laid an ambush outside the city, the Shangdang would be in danger, and Chen Ziming's troops were all cavalry. If you send troops to Hangu Pass, you should get there. What good is it for the general to go at this time? If Chen Ziming sends troops to subdue him halfway, the general will be in danger."

"Then what should I do?" Cao Hong was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, so he pinned his hopes on Mao Jie.

As a counselor, Mao Jie did his part, and immediately said: "The guards of Hangu Pass, Zhang Tai and Su Fei, are not ordinary people, and they will not fall into the trap easily, and there are more than [-] people in the pass, so Chen Ziming's few troops should not be easily defeated. , immediately send people to investigate the movement of Hangu Pass."

"If there is nothing wrong with Hangu Pass, we can sit back and relax. We can make Zhang Tai and Su Fei take strict precautions, and send people to Luoyang and Hongnong to send troops to reinforce Hangu Pass, just in case." Mao Jie continued. Said: "If Hangu Pass is lost, Chen Ziming will definitely lead troops to Hangu Pass, and then attack Hongnong, surround Luoyang, use the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and force the prime minister to withdraw his troops to relieve the danger of Jingyang."

"And let Chen Ziming succeed, I will immediately lead troops to force Chen Ziming's camp, don't let him go to Hangu Pass." Cao Hong immediately thought of something, as long as he delays Chen Ziming, then Chen Ziming's strategy will not be of much use.

"No." Mao Jie stopped Cao Hong, and continued: "Chen Ziming may not be able to break through Hangu Pass, if it is a trick to lure the enemy and lure the general out of the city, the general can easily fall for it."

Mao Jie frowned and thought for a while, and said: "If Chen Ziming really breaks through Hangu Pass, the general should not be in a hurry. Behind Hangu Pass is Hongnong, who is guarded by the Prime Minister's soldiers and horses. When he learns that Hangu Pass is lost, he will definitely send people to various places to report. Take strict precautions against Chen Ziming's attack."

"Chen Ziming attacked Hangu Pass because he wanted to force Luoyang. At that time, the general can lead an army to attack Hangu Pass, and then mobilize troops from Hongnong, Luoyang and other places to trap Chen Ziming to death outside Luoyang City. At that time, you can Eliminate a big enemy for the prime minister, in this way, not only will the general have no faults, but he will have a great merit."

Mao Jie soon discovered Chen Ziming's weakness, that is, not enough troops, [-] cavalry, what's the use, they are not enough to deal with Cao Hong's men and horses, let alone attacking an important place like Luoyang.

If Chen Ziming had [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, after taking down Hangu Pass, he would leave tens of thousands of soldiers to defend Hangu Pass, and then lead the army all the way to Luoyang, then Cao Cao would have to withdraw his troops and come back to rescue Luoyang.

But now that Chen Ziming has such troops, it is an opportunity to encircle and wipe out Chen Ziming. As long as Chen Ziming really takes 2 people to Luoyang, then Mao Jie has eight levels of confidence to surround and kill Chen Ziming outside Luoyang.
