The Three Kingdoms

"How is the front line at Pujin Pass?"

"Your Excellency, the majesty of the King and the Great General has severely defeated the main force of the Liang Kingdom!" an official reported enthusiastically.

"It's true that we won for a while. It's not enough to severely defeat the main force of the Liang army!"

Although Cheng Gongying was not on the front line, his prediction on the front line was very accurate.

"Prime Minister, there is news from Xia Yang that it is suspected that Liang's army has already crossed the river, and will approach Anyi City within three days!"

At this moment.A soldier walked into the prime minister's mansion in a busy manner, and bowed to report.

"Continue to investigate, we must find out how many soldiers and horses there are?" Cheng Gongying's expression turned cold when he heard this, looked at the soldiers, and said coldly.

"promise!"

The soldier nodded, and quickly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Prime Minister, General Xu Meng is clearly guarding Liyi City. Why are there still soldiers and horses crossing from Xiayang to the east?"

Everyone was puzzled, and an official from the Prime Minister's Mansion asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that General Xu Meng..."

"Xu Meng is loyal. Since Liyi was destroyed, he must have been shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield. Alas, what was supposed to come, finally came!"

In fact, Cheng Gongying was not surprised by this result, he just had a gloomy and uncertain face.After pondering for a while, he asked a young man in military uniform standing beside him like a pole, "Jiang Shi, how many soldiers and horses are there in Anyi now?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, there are less than five thousand soldiers and horses defending the city!"

Jiang Shi was one of Han Sui's favorite generals.He is also the general staying behind in Anyi City today, and he said in a low voice: "Master Prime Minister, the elite of the Jin Kingdom are all at Pujin Pass. Once the Liang army approaches Anyi, it may be difficult to resist. Besides, we don't know who is leading the army. Where is the general?"

The main force is on the front line, and Anyi's soldiers and horses are all gathered together. Although it looks like five or six thousand, the elite is only three thousand.

Once the opponent has more than ten thousand soldiers, Anyi will be hard to resist.

"The one who came from Xia Yang on the west side must be Pang De, the hero of the Liang Kingdom!"

Cheng Gongying narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed, and said with some helplessness: "This is a general from the Liang Kingdom. If you are no match for him, Anyi is in danger!"

"My lord, should I inform the king to return the main force?" Several terrified officials of the Kingdom of Jin asked quickly.

"It is indeed time to inform the king!"

Cheng Gongying heard the words, pondered for a while, and there was a trace of complicated expression in his expression, a little helpless and a little frustrated.

This is no longer a return aid, but an escape.

This battle has been defeated. When Pang De's army entered Hedong, he was powerless to recover. It is impossible for King Han Sui to turn defeat into victory. If there is only one way to survive, it is to fight back to Xiliang.

Xiliang is the old nest where Ma Teng and Han Sui started their family. Even the army of the Liang Kingdom can't deal with Han Sui, a local snake.

After all, Han Sui had a good relationship with the Qiang people, and he was able to borrow troops from the Qiang people to stabilize the situation in Jincheng.

But in the current situation, the east is Hanoi, which is not feasible, the south is the main force of Liang, and it cannot go down. There is a Ma Chao in the north, and the horse is brave. The west is guarded by Pang De, making it difficult to go west.

It is difficult to escape from Hedong.

Cheng Gongying paced back and forth in the lobby. After thinking for a long time, he pushed back the crowd and left the general Jiang Shi alone: ​​"Zi Zhang, the prime minister wants to give you a task!"

"Please make it clear, Prime Minister!" Jiang Shi, Zi Zhang, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and his expression became a little serious.

"I'm afraid that Anyi can't be kept. If Anyi is not secured, then Pujin Pass will be attacked from front to back. Jin Kingdom's defeat has been decided. We need to leave a way for the king to return to Xiliang. Now it is surrounded by three sides. Hanoi has the elite of Wei State, it is not feasible, this has already blocked all the ways for us to break through Hedong, if we want to return to Liangzhou, we can only kill a bloody road!"

Cheng Gongying spread out a new army map, pointed to a place, and said: "I ordered you to lead three thousand troops, and you must take this place, and then stick to it for more than a month!"

"Big Flag Mountain!"

Jiang Shi looked at the place Cheng Gongying was pointing at, his eyes lit up, and then he said in a puzzled way: "The prime minister wants to let the king return by way of Bingzhou, but there is Zhang Heng nearby, and most of his troops are cavalry. Then we can rush to Daqishan!"

"Your task is to find a way to block Zhang Hengbu and keep this road unimpeded!"

Cheng Gongying patted him on the shoulder.Said: "Whether the king has a way to survive depends on whether you can hold on until the main force passes through the Daqi Mountain. Behind the Daqi Mountain is the southwest corner of Bingzhou. This is where Ma Chao's defense is weakest. After that, Liangzhou, back to Liangzhou State. Our sky is high and the sea is wide!"

"Prime Minister, please rest assured that the mission will be completed in the end, and I will not retreat for a month!" Jiang Shi bowed down and said resolutely.

"it is good!"

Cheng Gongying showed a forced smile, and then handed him a letter, saying: "There is one more thing, this letter. Let the most powerful soldiers of your scout battalion send it to Pujin Pass overnight, and hand it over to the king personally." !"

"promise!"

Jiang Shi nodded. Just as he was about to step away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, something suddenly sounded and he asked, "Prime Minister, if someone leads his troops to leave Anyi, wouldn't Anyi..."

"It's not reported for a long time. Why should I keep it!" Cheng Gongying smiled confidently, and said: "Since Pang De wants Anyi, I will give him an Anyi, I hope he can accept it !"

"Since the prime minister has made arrangements, the general can rest assured. Please rest assured, prime minister. Jiang Shi promises to complete the task!"

Jiang Shi left the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry, and dispatched troops to the north.

After Jiang Shi left the prime minister's mansion.Cheng Gongying was alone, with his hands behind his back, standing on the promenade of the courtyard, his eyes seemed to be looking at the sky, but he was a little confused.

"The water in Guanzhong is too muddy. Who is the winner in this battle? Ma Teng? Not necessarily, why does someone always have a feeling that we are all just pawns!"

A hundred miles to the east of Anyi City, there is a small city called Dongheng City. This is a city at the junction of Hanoi and Hedong. The population of the city is less than [-] households.

Although this city is not big, its geographical location is a bit special. There are mountains in front and behind, and the terrain is dangerous and remote. It is relatively easy to hide. Moreover, it is adjacent to Bingzhou in the north, and Hanoi and Hedong are involved in the left and right. It belongs to the intersection of the three parties.

This is where the three parties meet, and it is also an area where the three do not care. After all, this place is barren, the population is wrong, and the terrain is rugged, so there is no news of Jin Guo or Wei Guo settling here.

However, when no one found out, there was no sound left and right in this small town, and without knowing it, [-] elite Wei troops stationed at once.

The leader of the [-] elite Wei army was Xu Huang, the general of the Wei State, and the main messenger was Guo Jia, who was known as a ghost.

In the evening, when the sunset covered the sky, wisps of breeze blew slowly, which relieved the hot atmosphere of the day. In a mansion in Dongheng City, Guo Jia wore a long robe in Tsing Yi, wore a scarf on his head, and held a book in his hand. And look.

"Military division, Pang De has passed Xiayang Ferry now, and he will attack Anyi in less than three days at most!" General Xu Huang was not in Guo Jia's mood, obviously a little impatient: "Should we send troops? ?”

"Gongming, are you in a hurry?"

Guo Jia raised his head slightly when he heard this, and looked away from the book, looking at this Wei Guohu general, and smiled faintly.

"Military division, here is a bit far from Anyi. Even cavalry will take two days to arrive!"

Xu Huang said in a low voice: "Once Pang De's troops come to Anyi, Jin Kingdom's defeat will be decided. I'm afraid that at that time, Han Sui will surrender to Liang Kingdom in order to save his life. If the two of them join forces, we won't be in trouble at that time." , so before this, should we stop them? Let Pang De not have this easy to get Anyi, at least support Han Sui and Ma Teng in Pujin Pass!"

"Not urgent!"

Guo Jia shook his head, squinted his eyes, and raised a leisurely smile on the corner of his mouth: "Han Sui is such a hero, he is definitely not a person who can be captured without a fight, and his subordinate Cheng Gongying is a scheming person, so he will definitely not let Anyi give in. If our Wei army intervenes too early, it will have a counterproductive effect!"

He didn't believe that Han Suiming knew it was a losing battle and was not prepared at all.
