".........Annihilated 40,000 enemies and captured 30,000. Some riots are now scattered on Lianyun Island and are being cleared!" Guo Jia put down the information in his hand and curled his lips, "No one will attack Lianyun Island again now, right?"

"Haha, let Gao Shun raid the Qu County town once, those strange people are probably gathering there now!"

"Well? Do you want to create an isolation belt?"

"Yes, at least within half a day's distance of my cavalry, it must be a buffer zone, so that the aliens in the Yellow Turban camp cannot be too much."

"I understand, I will order it now!"

"Where is Hansheng's position?"

"Now it is about a hundred miles east of Xia Xiang, but the terrain here is not very good, and there are not many places where such a large army can be hidden. The subordinates thought that they would simply stop hiding and asked Han Sheng to attack Houqiu north. In this way, they could completely relieve Cao Cao's concerns."

"Well, Yue Xi is in Yancheng, Han is ascended to Houqiu, Gaoshun is in Qu County, and we are in Ling County, and it is Cao Cao's opportunity to disperse and isolate him! But if Cao Cao sends troops from Tong County or Xiaxiang to support him, or sends troops from both places to respond to Chen Deng at the same time, how can you eat one of them?"

"It's simple. We entangled the reinforcement soldiers who set out from Xia Xiang, and our subordinates estimated that this was exactly what Cao Cao expected. In this way, another reinforcement soldiers could reach Lingxian smoothly. Then we used this force to attract and entangle our army, and used the plan to entangle them and then ordered Han Sheng to go south, either take down the prime minister, or besiege the reinforcements from Xia Xiang with our army."

"The thick hill is nearly four hundred miles from the lower court, and this distance is more troublesome!"

"Haha. Han Sheng doesn't have to really attack Houqiu. It's completely possible for Li to depart Tao Zombie! Isn't this the original intention of the lord to create an isolation belt?"

"Hehe. I've been seen through!" Fang Zhiwen grinned. Yes, the purpose of creating an isolation belt is to make the opponent unable to figure out what you are doing, and Gao Shun's troops can mysteriously disappear and appear in another place, such as attacking Houqiu instead of Huang Zhong!

....................................................................................................

Xia Pi and Peng Guo’s easy success made Cao Cao very happy. However, the crisis in Ling County made Cao Cao very confused. In theory, the people, army, and people in Ling County were not actually what Cao Cao valued. At least, they should be easily given up. But the problem is that Chen Deng is a benchmark!

Chen Deng's change of flags represents the first county that changed flags as a whole. If the final result of Guangling County was being washed away by Fang Zhiwen, it only means that Cao's army is not enough to compete with Fang Zhiwen in a comprehensive manner, or at least not enough to open up three battlefields at the same time, but this is just a matter of ability.

If Cao Cao refused to save him when Lingxian was in a critical moment, then this was not a matter of ability. It was an attitude. If Cao Cao's attitude of destroying bridges across the river was known to the world, then the reputation of Cao Cao would be really unclearable. Chen Deng, the benchmark, was first revenged fiercely, and then abandoned by his newly surrendered master. Who else dares to surrender to Cao Cao in the future?

Therefore, even though he knew that Fang Zhiwen had set up a trap in Ling County and wanted to lure him to send troops to rescue Chen Deng, Cao Cao had to save Chen Deng. If Fang Zhiwen had made plans toward a situation from the beginning, this Fang Zhiwen would be really terrible.

"Zhicai, this matter is not easy to deal with!"

Xi Zhicai frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to deal with. Chen Deng has to save him, but he can't go to save him. Otherwise, he will definitely fall into a trap. Although Huang Zhong's troops appeared in Xiaqiu today and were far away from the surrounding areas of Lingxian County, his subordinates still believe that Lingxian is a trap set by Fang Zhiwen."

Cao Cao sighed: "Yes, today's Chen Deng battle report said that Fang Zhiwen's offensive had slowed down. In theory, when he was in a big victory the day before yesterday, Fang Zhiwen had the opportunity to break the city in one fell swoop, and his purpose of deliberately keeping Ling County was to attract our army to rescue."

"What if we use the mission situation to attract the Yiren troops to rescue? Or we can learn the local chronicles and break up the people and the troops, and send them away in batches in Yiren's troops!"

"It's not appropriate. Fang Zhiwen often does this, so how could he not beware of this trick? Besides, this method can only be done when the logistics is smooth... Wait, Zhicai, what you mean is... Use strange people to cover up people's eyes and ears, and then my army takes advantage of the chaos to resolve the siege of Ling County? No, as long as Chen Yuanlong can be rescued!"

Xi Zhicai's idea was unfolding and he said with a little excitement: "Not only, Huang Zhong is in Xiaqiu now. No matter what, it will take as long as one day and night to get from Xiaqiu to Lingxian. This is still the fastest and basically cannot be realized. Our army can take this opportunity to mobilize Yiren to harass the surrounding areas of Lingxian. Then our army will send two troops from Xiaxiang and Duanxian. No matter which one Fang Zhiwen targets, the other will have the opportunity to open up the passage. Then the troops that contacted Fang Zhiwen tried every means to delay Fang Zhiwen. We took the initiative to burn Lingxian and drive the people out..."

"It's a situation of robbing sheep. Fang Zhiwen wants benefits and has to come back to grab the sheep. The alien troops we sent in advance can play a role. On the other hand, Chen Yuanlong can be taken out safely. The only troublesome thing is whether Chen Yuanlong is willing to set fire to the city!"

"Haha, he knows it, he has no choice now." Xi Zhicai said with a sneer.

...................................................................................

According to Cao Cao's letter, Xiahou Yuan, who set out at night, knew that the Yiren troops had begun fighting around Lingxian County. Moreover, according to the latest battle report, many Yiren troops were hit hard by Fang Zhiwen's troops and suffered heavy losses. However, from this point, it can be seen that Fang Zhiwen's troops were still near Lingxian County.

However, Xiahou Yuan's troops were at the position between Xiaxiang and Lingxian. If they were rushing all the way, they would probably reach Lingxian at noon tomorrow. However, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to rush to the road, but instead sent the scout for fifty miles and carefully maintained this slightly slow speed.

Xiahou Yuan’s mission is to attract the enemy. It is not really going to rescue, and even if it is rescue, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to let the horse go straight to Ling County because his opponent was too strong, so strong that Xiahou Yuan would always wake up his spirit without slacking off at all.

"General, the enemy troops were found on the southwest side, with an ominous number, about forty miles away!"

"Where is the scout?"

"All destroyed!"

"Immediately ask the scouts moving around to ask about the situation!"

"promise!"

Xiahou Yuan was a little nervous. It was rare for him to destroy the scouts, which showed that his opponent was very strong. He was so strong that the scouts could not send back more information. In the southwest of this area, the closest to him was Fang Zhiwen's troops.

After a while, the deputy general reported again: "The number of enemy troops is estimated to be more than two thousand, and they are moving towards the north!"

"North? Want to encircle? What about other directions?"

"temporary......"

"Urgent report! Our army found a brigade of cavalry in the northeast direction of our army, twenty miles away!"

"Twenty miles!? Bastard, why didn't you find out early!"

"General. It may be that the enemy used the terrain or skills! General..."

Xiahou Yuan seemed not to hear the explanation from the deputy general, but frowned and pondered deeply. The enemy appeared from two directions. Needless to say, the enemy on the northeast is definitely moving towards the southwest, so that he can block his retreat, and the southwest is blocking his road to the west. Force himself to move east or southeast.

The southeast direction is Ling County. If Xiahou Yuan moves to the southeast, then Fang Zhiwen and the sudden emergence of troops will definitely gather in Ling County. Not to mention whether they can escape the trap of being attacked. The consequences of this may make Fang Zhiwen discover that the lord's idea of ​​Cao Hong's troops, who were secretly set out from Duan County, would be bankrupt.

Xiahou Yuan quickly measured it. Going west to north will speed up contact with the enemy, and going east will delay contact time. Not to mention whether you can escape, even if you want to buy more time for Cao Hong, going east will be the best choice.

"Accelerate and leave eastward!"

....................................................................

The night without stars was very dark. A small team of scouts drove their horses to pass by the hills. Although it was dark around, they could see clearly nothing in this empty depression. Soon they rode their horses and continued to move towards the east.

Fang Zhiwen smiled and turned his head to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao's ambushing skills are so powerful, you can't even see it so close?"

"Lord, it's night now. The soldiers are all pretending to be fishing nets, and the skill effect is normal!"

"Haha, there is no need to be modest. Fengxiao should remember a merit. Moreover, Fengxiao's attack on the snake seemed to have worked. Two groups of scouts have passed, indicating that the large army is coming in this direction."

"It's good to come, it won't be a waste of time for us to freeze here for the middle of the night!"

"Han Sheng, let's see who will kill Xiahou Yuan first!"

"Don't worry, lord, I will use a bow and arrow! I won't let lord take away the credit! Here comes!"

Huang Zhong's ears were very good. Sure enough, everyone who held their breath could faintly hear the muffled thunder coming from the distance.

"There will be a group of scouts, please pay attention!"

The more Xiahou Yuan ran, the more uneasy he felt. What made Xiahou Yuan uneasy, but he couldn't confirm it. Perhaps it was because of the fear in his heart! After all, Xiahou Yuan had been dead twice in Fang Zhiwen. There was a price to die. How could the indigenous people have no price? Xiahou Yuan's price was that some skills have not yet recovered to the best level.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Perhaps it was this fearful heart that made Xiahou Yuan always feel uneasy when he met Fang Zhiwen, and this uneasiness had even begun to affect his judgment.

"Have the scout discovered it?"

"No, all the normal enemy troops in the northwest are following us, and no one in the south is found yet!"

"Where is ahead?"

"without......."

"The enemy is hiding, kill me!"

"Boom..."

Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly. There was no need to answer now. Xiahou Yuan, who was proficient in cavalry combat, heard a lot from the sound of horse hooves. He knew that the number of enemy troops exceeded 20,000, and they were divided into two directions to assault, less than a thousand steps behind his side. At such a close distance, he did not find an ambush.

"Accelerate, accelerate, move forward at full speed!"

Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, it was too late to say anything now, and now we must avoid the first round of enemy attacks before we have the chance to talk about other things!
Chapter completed!
