The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181 The situation is critical

Chapter 181 The situation is critical

Wei Tao casually handed Xin Ping over to Dian Wei who was the fastest in the charge, and then turned his horse's head happily, and then shouted loudly at many Jizhou Black Mountain soldiers.

"Xin Ping has already been captured by me. Even if Yuan Jun comes, he can't be my opponent. If you don't surrender, how long will it be!"

At this time, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even those personal guards have no fighting spirit.

The general is the courage of the soldiers. Facing a brave and invincible general like Wei Tao, these ordinary soldiers did not dare to fight at all and surrendered one after another.

It's a pity that even Li Le's confidant generals obviously don't know what Li Le's plan is, they just know that Li Le has ordered that once he gives the order, he and Xin Ping will be escorted away and spared crossing the river. Jiancheng went to Yuan Jun's camp.

"Sure enough, there is a trap."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and now it is clear what is wrong with the city in Hejian.

In fact, this is nothing, as long as someone is sent into the city to investigate, even if there are any traps, it will be known.

But Wei Tao did not give such an order at this time, but frowned slightly. To be honest, Wei Tao always felt that something was wrong.

This trap may be vicious, but it is easy to see through. Even if Yuan Jun is unmanned, Wei Tao will not believe it so easily.

Could it be that this is just a tactic in the hope that he can fall into the trap, but in fact there are other real killer moves?
After a little thought, Wei Tao immediately realized something was wrong. Although it wasn't long, Wei Tao hadn't seen Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun return until now, so he immediately asked left and right.

"Wenyuan and Zilong are both cautious people, why is there still no information sent back?"

Although I don't know what the layout is in the city, but just think about it, if there is an army ambushing in the city, he should rush out when he sees Li Le's failure, but if it is not for the army ambushing, Wei Tao just doesn't enter the city for a while In the middle, you can ignore it. On the contrary, Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao who were sent did not return, which made Wei Tao feel anxious.

"My lord, something is wrong. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have made a move, and they are leading the army!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu was standing next to Wei Tao, and said with a slight frown.

"I'm afraid that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang really set up a scheme like fire in the city. Now that Li Le was defeated and killed, they made some moves to attack our army."

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang actually moved so fast?
Wei Tao thought for a while before asking Zhou Yu again.

"What about Wen Yuan and Zilong? How are they doing now? But they were blocked by Yuan Jun?"

"My lord, Yuan Tan got behind our army for some reason. He probably wanted to launch a surprise attack on our army. In order to slow down Yuan Jun's attack, the two generals Wen Yuan and Zilong resolutely confronted Yuan Jun, and now they are holding back." Yuan Tan followed Yuan Tan's pace, but Yuan Tan's army strength is more than ten times that of the two of them. If it weren't for his lack of determination to fight quickly, it may not be certain that Wen Yuan and Zilong would have been trapped to death. But now they are also It's hard to get away, if you want to keep the two of them safe, you need urgent help from the Lord's army."

Xun You also came up to speak at this time.

"Then Yuan Tan is different from Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. He has followed Yuan Shao for a long time. Although his talent is not top-notch, it is impossible for Zilong and Zilong to delay the battle. I am afraid that he wants the lord to fight with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang first. Fighting, and then he is on the field. Now the lord should make a quick decision. Our army is only strong enough to attack one side. However, no matter when our army wins or loses, the other army will rush in immediately. Unless you lead people away immediately, you will inevitably be attacked from both sides."

"Is the situation so bad?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, he never thought that the situation would come to this point all of a sudden.

"My lord, this is our mistake. According to our estimates, even if Yuan Tan's soldiers arrive here, it is impossible to go into battle immediately. However, even though Yuan Tan's ability is not very good, he would have one He was so ruthless that he even ordered two or three people to go on the back of one horse, so although the march was extremely fast, almost all the horses were exhausted, and the cost was immeasurable."

Zhuge Jin sighed slightly. This was a possibility that the three of them had just speculated on. Combined with the fact that Yuan Tan's army is full of infantry, the actual situation should be similar.

Wei Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, although he was a little surprised at Yuan Tan's ability, but that's all. Yuan Tan is indeed powerful, but is he weak?

"How many people are here in Yuan Tan now?"

"About [-], this should be the limit. If there is more, unless Yuan Shao gives up all the horses of the cavalry in his army. If so, the importance attached to the Lord is very high. If he attaches so much importance, he will return in person. It is impossible for Yuan Tan to come alone."

At this time, it is naturally impossible to send someone to find out detailed information, but Zhou Yu and the three are worthy of being top counselors. After a lot of thinking, they have already speculated a lot about Yuan Tanjun's information.

"My lord is going to meet Yuan Tan?"

Although they didn't say it clearly, Zhou Yu and the three of them already had an answer based on Wei Tao's repeated inquiries.

"That's right. I heard that Hebei Admiral Yan Liang is also here, and this time it happens to be a try."

Although the situation is critical, Wei Tao is not a fledgling now. After going through many battles, he can talk and laugh freely even at this time.

"Besides, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have already been defeated by me twice. Even if they don't know the battle formation, they must be extremely cautious when marching. If there is a battle, I am afraid that there will be a stalemate for a while. On the contrary, Yuan Tan, although It seems that he is experienced in marching and has ingenious plans, but judging from how he dared to sit on the top of the battle line and watch our army and Yuan Shang succeed or fail, it is clear that he has a reputation."

"My lord's words are very true, but this is also a common problem of the Yuan family. Fighting among peers is much more important than dealing with outsiders."

Zhou Yu also smiled, but after the smile, he spoke seriously.

"However, my lord, you should know that the soldiers of our army must be exhausted after a series of battles. If there is no trick, they will be in vain!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly. In order to send troops to stay in Changshan and Zhongshan counties, Wei Tao has already separated nearly half of his troops, and now he has only more than 1 people following him, and he has to deal with several times the number of enemy troops. easy thing.

As for the Jizhou Heishan soldiers who had just surrendered, as soon as Wei Tao was defeated, they would probably disperse immediately. Even if there were tens of thousands of people, they would be useless.

"What is Gongjin planning now?"

Wei Tao knew that Zhou Yu must have his own life in mind at this time, so he said such a word, and immediately asked.

"My lord, the only plan for now is to abandon the Heishan Army and Hejian County, immediately lead the army to rescue Wen Yuan and Zilong, and then retreat. The way to defeat Yuan Army now lies with Na Xin Ping."

Knowing the urgency of the situation and the possibility of a complete defeat every minute of the night, Zhou Yu didn't mean to be tricky at all, so he said it right away.

"Oh?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, relying on Xin Ping?
"Gongjin, you also know that Xin Ping is loyal to Yuan Shao. It is not a matter of a few words to persuade him to surrender, let alone it is too late at this time. If you have any plan, just say it."

"Yes, my lord. I mean let Xin Ping go."

"Release Xin Ping?"

Wei Tao was even more puzzled. It was okay to let Xin Ping go. Maybe Xin Ping was also talented.

But with the current situation, even if it is enough time for Xin Ping to rush back to Yuan Jun, even if he wants to make any plans on Xin Ping, it will not be enough, right?
"My lord, as far as I know, Xin Ping has always supported Yuan Tan, and he is at odds with Yuan Shang's advisers. What happened in the city is determined to be Yuan Tan's work..."

"Okay, time is running out. This time I won't listen to your explanation, Gongjin. I believe in Gongjin."

This time Wei Tao didn't give Zhou Yu any more time to explain, but just waved his hand and said.

"Since Gong Jin thinks he can let it go, let him go. Someone, bring Xin Ping here."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

As Xin Ping was brought up, Zhou Yu was also quite moved.

"Xin Ping, I didn't expect that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were quite courageous enough to dare to fight me, but do you think such a mere trick can defeat our army? How long can a mere Li Le delay? Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang It's only halfway through the journey, and you want to surprise our army, it's ridiculous!"

Although Wei Tao didn't know Zhou Yu's schemes, he could vaguely guess something. When he saw Xin Ping being escorted, he just smiled coldly.

"Hmph! Kill as you want, cut as you want, I, Xin Ping, will never frown."

Xin Ping's heart often moved, but he didn't say anything, but said very hard.

"That's not necessarily the case. I pity that you, Xin Ping, are also a talent. I also know that you think that Yuan Jun is so powerful that I am invincible. How about a bet with you? This time I will let you go back and let you see how I am." Defeat Yuan Jun."

Naturally, it is impossible for Wei Tao to let Xin Ping leave without opening his mouth. If so, everyone will be suspicious.

"If I win, how about Xin Zhongzhi relying on me? Come, untie Zhongzhi, bring another horse, let him go to join Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and let him take a good look at it. Now Hejian County It is already in my hands, let's see how they can take it away!"

"Okay! I'll see with my own eyes!"

Xin Ping already had a plan in mind, so he agreed on the surface.

When Xin Ping urged the horse to leave, Wei Tao smiled immediately.

"Gongjin, is he ordering someone to occupy this city right now? This matter is still done by those soldiers from Montenegro, but who is leading the army?"

"Xu Gongming is a great talent, and he is quite good at defending the city. Only when he is there can we rest assured. There is no one who is as careful and cautious as Gongming, and he just does this plan!"

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu said immediately.

"Okay, let Gongjin and Gongming deal with this matter, and try not to let Yuan Jun attack me. Other generals, follow me to meet Yuan Tan and see what the eldest son Yuan Benchu ​​is capable of!"

"promise!"

Hearing what Wei Tao said, all the generals agreed!
