Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1396 King vs. King Six

"My lord, it is a very risky strategic adjustment for us to attack the Ming country without going to Hebei. Now that we have taken a risk in strategy, we must be careful in tactics, and we can't make any mistakes!"

Guo Jia didn't know that Cao Cao wanted to rush to the city, and even many generals of the Wei army had such thoughts, but at this time, the Wei army really couldn't be impatient.

He persuaded earnestly: "Although the first army of the Ming army was defeated by Lu Bu, the main force is still there. They are retreating to Xi'e. When we have a strong force, we can ignore them, but once the situation on the battlefield is tense, they will appear abruptly." It's too big a threat to us!"

"What you said is true!"

Cao Cao calmed down and had to agree with Guo Jia's statement. He is also a general who has fought countless times on the battlefield. At this time, leaving a trouble in his stomach and back will be fatal at any time.

This is too risky.

"Then attack Xi'e first. After Xi'e is eaten, all threats will be wiped out, and then we will send troops south to compete with Mu Jing!" Cao Cao thought for a while and said coldly.

"Yes!"

The generals are below, bow their heads and lead orders.

Within three hours of Cao Cao's order, the main force of the Wei army began to pull out the camp. In less than a day, the fierce main force of the Wei army had surrounded Xi'an from the north and east.

……

On the city wall of Xi'e, Zhou Cang held the binoculars in his hand, his eyes swept across the front, and then continued to scan north. The faintly visible formation made him feel more stressed.

"Really surrounded?"

Zhou Cang put down the telescope in his hand.

"General Zhonglang, do you want help?" one of the generals asked in a low voice.

"unnecessary!"

Zhou Cang shook his head.

The result of asking for help and not asking for help is the same. Wei Jun worked hard to mobilize the crowd, and Jing Wusi's ability to see the needles has already sent the news back to Wancheng.

If Wancheng can be saved, it will naturally send troops desperately. If Wancheng cannot save itself, there is no way to send troops to rescue, and the result will be the same.

Today, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.

He still has the main force under his command.

It's just that he was considering whether to abandon Xi'e to break through or stick to Xi'e. Xi'e is not a casual place, and it is very important here.

The place where the Mu clan is located is equivalent to the place where the ancestors of the Mu clan rest in peace for generations. If there is a bit of superstition, it is the place where the Mu clan's ancestors bless, overflow with dragon energy, and be sheltered by Fengshui.

If you give up Xi'e, you will give up the ancestral land of Mujing.

The result was even worse, Mr. Mu's grave was dug up, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the crime. Even if he escaped, it would be very difficult for him to pass the test.

It would be better to fight to the death here.

But there is not much hope for a deadly battle. The Wei army outside the city is too strong. He really doesn't know how long he can hold it. If he can't hold it for three to five days, he might as well break out.

"Pass down the order, the north and south city gates can't be defended, let the Xi'e county magistrate recruit everyone in the city, and transport the siege equipment to the city. This battle is a hard one!"

After a while, Zhou Cang gave the order calmly.

He still decided to fight.

Even if he loses, he still has to fight, otherwise, if he withdraws like this, he will really have no face to see Mujing.

"promise!"

The Ming army's military orders had a strong influence. When the military orders were issued, the captains of the various ministries moved quickly, and the city was immediately heavily guarded.

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

The news that the Wei army was going to attack Xi'e could not be hidden for long. Before the Wei army besieged Shang Xi'e County, Wancheng had already got the news.

"Cao Mengde wants to fight Xi'e?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised.

"My lord, at present, the main force of the Wei army has enough troops to go south to fight us. At this moment, I think they have two intentions to fight Xi'e!"

Xi Zhicai went to the Guanzhong battlefield, and Chen Gong was Mu Jing's number one military adviser on the battlefield. As the head of the staff department under the Privy Council, it was his duty to plan military affairs.

This time, Chen Gong summoned many military divisions and established the staff office of the frontline headquarters.

Before the soldiers and horses were trapped in Shangyong, the troops were divided later. After the division, Mu Jing and the Divine Guard Army walked alone, and these military divisions and staff were scattered among the various ministries and marched. After all, it is difficult for any army to take such a More staff officers and officials marched once.

Chen Gong only arrived in Wancheng yesterday.

Arriving in Wancheng with him, it was still the Jingping Fourth Army, the former Dongzhou Army, which was later reorganized into the Jingping Fourth Army, with a strength of [-] soldiers, and the leader was Meng Huo.

In addition to the first army stationed in Wuguan, Jingping's main force also has the second army, the third army, and the fourth army. Now that the fourth army has arrived in Wancheng first, it can be regarded as peace of mind for Mujing.

Otherwise, if the main force of the Wei army came suddenly, it would be hard for him to resist.

There are the main force of the Fourth Army, plus the Divine Guard Army, as well as the elite remnants of Zhang Ren's Second Army. In addition, an elite battalion of the Storm Bear Second Army is stationed outside the city.

In terms of military strength, it is enough to deal with Wancheng's defense.

"Let's hear it!" Mu Jing trusted Chen Gong a lot, not only for his loyalty, but also for his ability. In terms of loyalty, when he was in Luoyang, he endured so many hardships and did not submit to the Mu family. Instead, he was let go by the Mu family. After that, he went south with the Mu family and surrendered to the Mu family. This was not coercion, but more of his approval of Mu Jing.

As for ability, Chen Gong is not good at responding on the battlefield, he is a bit slow, but he is good at layout, this person has extraordinary talent in overall layout, even Xi Zhicai is not as good as him in this aspect.

"First, the king of Wei was worried that he would not be able to attack with all his strength because there were still enemy troops lingering on his back during the decisive battle. This was a worry for him, so he had to clear all dangers before he could go all out. Fight us in Wancheng!"

"That makes sense!" Mu Mu nodded.

"Second!" Chen Gong continued: "Xi'e is not an ordinary place, it is the hometown of the king, and now the king is conquered by the princes of the world, and he is named as the Han Dynasty, which is the opposite of the court we are already standing in. The Ming Kingdom no longer belongs to the Han Dynasty. Although the king is the king of the princes, he is not deterred by the emperor. In fact, he is already an emperor. The hometown of the king gave birth to the king, so he must have the spirit of a dragon. If anyone believes it, he will destroy the Mu family. Feng Shui, breaking the dragon veins of the Ming Kingdom, wouldn't it be the best blow to the Ming Kingdom!"

"Really!"

Mu Jing smiled.

He can't laugh at the ignorance of people in this era. What kind of dragon spirit and dragon veins may be talked about in the future, but here, it is a fact.

What everyone believes is the truth.

The Mu clan was a poor peasant in the past, but later entered the Taiping Road, became a Yellow Turban bandit, and rose as a thief.

This has to make people think of luck.

Prosperous luck, why did it come.

It is nothing more than the blessing of the ancestors.

Mu Jing believes that there are countless legends lingering on him now, such as when he was born when he was a child, the purple energy came from the east, and those members of the Mu clan would definitely put gold on his face, It's not illegal to brag anyway.

This will not only improve Mu Jing's background, but also raise Mu's family. Why not do it? As for believing it or not, once you say no one believes it, there will be three times. Over time, three people will become tigers, and those who believe will naturally There will be more and more.

"But even if Cao Cao eats Xi'e County, would he take such a big risk to exterminate the Mu clan and dig up the lonely ancestral grave?" Mu Jing asked after pondering for a while.

He is still a little worried. Mushan's tomb is not in Xi'e. When his tomb was in Luoyang, Mujing arranged for a secret burial with Queen Mother He, and many fake tombs were created. Can't find it at all.

But Mu Shan's spiritual seat is in the newly built ancestral hall of the Mu family.

As a son of man, if he can't even protect his father's spiritual seat, he really has failed.

"Cao Mengde is a real villain with talent and a city mansion. He is not like Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. He is more concerned about face than profit. He cares more about profit. As long as he is against himself, it doesn't matter if he loses face or his conscience is condemned. , we must do whatever it takes to kill them all!" Chen Gong was with Cao Cao at the beginning, but they parted ways halfway, and he still has a little understanding of Cao Cao: "In the past when he killed Lu Boshe's family, he didn't regret it, but even if he was wrong Now, he still goes back to do it, this is Cao Cao, he has done the work of digging people's ancestral graves, and this is definitely not the first time!"

Chen Gong said in a cold voice.

He is in charge of the Staff Department, and Yu Jingwu Division can be regarded as having exchanges. He wants to know a lot of news, so he can naturally know it.

"You're talking about General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin under his command?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

Cao Mengde is really an expert at digging graves. When he had financial problems, he never thought of suppressing them from the people, but more from the dead.

In this era, nobles and celebrities, emperors and powerful families all pay attention to grand burials when they die, and there are many things buried with them. The wealth underground is sometimes better than that on the ground.

Cao Cao secretly set up two soldiers and horses, one was General Faqiu Zhonglang, and the other was Colonel Mojin, who specialized in stealing money from the tombs and supplying them as military supplies.

This matter is very secretive. People in the world don't know much about it. Even Jing Wusi spent a lot of energy to find out some clues, but he couldn't find the context, and couldn't find anything to prove that Cao Cao instructed his subordinates Naturally, the evidence from the grave excavation cannot attack Cao Cao in this regard.

Otherwise, Mujing would have made the world boil long ago.

"There is no trace of Lieutenant Mojin, but General Faqiu Zhonglang, Jing Wusi seems to have found out the existence of this army, and seems to have stolen a lot of Han royal tombs in Guanzhong!"

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, we can't place our hopes on Cao Mengde's kindness. If he insists on destroying Xi'e and digging up the Mu family's ancestral grave, it will have too much impact on our Ming Dynasty!"

"But now, it may not be so easy to stop him!"

Mujing stood up and paced back and forth.

He also didn't want Cao Cao to take down Xi'e. Although he didn't believe in luck, dragon energy, or dragon veins at all, he would be somewhat upset if his ancestral grave was dug as a descendant of the Mu family in this life.

"It's not difficult!"

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said.

"The public platform has a good strategy, let's talk about it!" Mu Jing's eyes lit up, without Xi Zhicai by his side, he always felt that something was missing, not that Chen Gong was inferior to Xi Zhicai, but just his relationship with Xi Zhicai The tacit understanding is better, but now Chen Gong seems to be able to keep up with his own rhythm. He can often think about what he thinks, make suggestions, and solve problems for himself. It is much more comfortable to have such a person by his side.

"attack!"

Chen Gong simply spit out two words.

"Attack?" Mu Jing's heart moved. He was not a fool, and his reaction was very sharp. He had already started to react since Chen Gong uttered these two words.

"The public platform said that we took the initiative to attack the Wei army outside the city and force their main force to go south?" Mu Jing looked at Chen Gong and asked tentatively.

"Ok!"

Chen Gong nodded, responding to Mu Jing's thoughts, and said: "Attacking its vital points will definitely affect its deployment. Although the Wei army outside the city still has combat power, its morale is low, and there are many wounded soldiers, making it difficult to move. Even if there is no city defense, relying on a stronghold, the defense is not strong. Once we gather the main force to attack, even if there is no way to defeat them, it will be easy to suppress them and force them to ask for help. I don't believe that Cao Mengde will take Xi'e and Tens of thousands of soldiers under him came to gamble!"

"It makes sense!"

Mu Jing's eyes suddenly brightened.

The soldiers and horses of the Wei army outside the city failed to attack Wancheng, and their morale had already been knocked down. The lower the morale, the less effective the fighting force was.

If the main force attacks, it is possible to defeat them smoothly, and even if they cannot be defeated, they can be suppressed, forcing them to ask Cao Cao for help.

"Then it's decided!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath: "Come here, send the order of the lonely army, and order Ma Chao and Meng Huo to come to the headquarters to participate in the tactical meeting within an hour!"

………………

Outside the city, a few days have passed, and the Wei army has recovered some morale, but there are too many wounded soldiers and too many battle losses, and it is not so easy to restore combat effectiveness.

Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Le Jin all seemed rather depressed, but Lu Bu, although he hadn't spoken much, remained calm and calm, which boosted a lot of morale.

"Attacking Wancheng in this battle, we have failed the king's high expectations!"

Cao Ren said with a sigh.

"I am the one who lost this battle. I should personally ask the king to apologize!" Le Jin's face turned red. When he was escorted back, he was almost broken on the battlefield. This was a rare shame and humiliation for him to fight in the battlefield for many years.

"If you want to apologize, we should all apologize, but now, this matter is not the main thing, we still need to restore our combat effectiveness first!" Yu Jin rubbed his temples: "These days, some people are always a little restless Emotions, our current situation, where we are, the soldiers and horses that the Ming army has begun to reinforce one after another, and the king's main force suddenly marching towards Xi'e, all make me feel uneasy!"

"General Yu Jin is suspicious. Is the Ming army going to take the initiative to attack?"

In fact, Lu Bu had never underestimated the generals of the Wei army. Among the Wei army, there were many generals in the army.
