Chapter 230
(PS: Sure enough, there was still a power outage, but fortunately, the truck battery and power inverter prepared by Pure Wolf spared no expense. From now on, the word power failure will also disappear from Pure Wolf’s dictionary forever Already! Hahahahahaha...!)

The Xuanda army, which was aggressively chasing and killing the rebel army yesterday, suddenly retreated overnight. The leaders of the rebel army who had been forced by the Xuanda army to prepare to abandon Shenmu City couldn't help being surprised, and rushed to dispatch the most The elite and most shrewd scouts closely monitor and scout every move of Xuanda's army, and judge whether Xuanda's army is retreating for real or a fake retreat—no way, Master Zhang doesn't engage in conspiracies and tricks. It stinks, it's just stinks against the wind, so don't say that Master Zhang's old opponent, Fan Wencheng, doesn't believe that the Xuanda army will withdraw so quickly, and even none of the [-]-odd thieves, who are almost all illiterate, dare to take it lightly. Stepping into Young Master Zhang's trap that is hard to guard against, there is no way to turn over.

It seems that Fan Wencheng finally saw through the trap Young Master Zhang set up this time. When the Xuanda army withdrew north to the Fugu Yellow River to build a pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the Yellow River, the scouts sent by Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong all discovered by coincidence— — At the location of Shahe, west of the Fugu Great Wall, traces of an ambush by Xuanda's army were suddenly discovered!Hearing this news, the bandit army who had already left Shenmu to monitor Xuanda's army crossing the river did not dare to neglect, and immediately ran back to Shenmu City, continuing to assume the posture of being ready to flee south at any time.And the Xuanda army over there has already built a pontoon bridge to cross the river. After waiting patiently for two days, they found that the thieves were not fooled and pursued them. In Shaanxi, join forces with the main force and go south—it was only at this moment that the thieves of the 29th Route discovered with horror that the Xuanda army ambushing outside the Great Wall turned out to be the trump card army of the Ming Dynasty, the Slaughter Army!

"The vicious officer Zhang Gou actually ambushed the soldiers outside the Great Wall. If we are fooled, it will be a disaster." Wang Jiayin, who was burnt to ashes by the young master Zhang, scolded Wang Jiayin for trying to lure himself into the trap. Young Master Zhang expressed the strongest indignation and the most violent contempt.The other thieves over there also echoed, saying that to fight against a bad guy like Zhang Gouguan, you have to be [-]% energetic and [-]% careful-you have to sleep with one eye open!Luo Rucai, the most treacherous among the thieves, reminded: "Prince Shan, all princes, everyone, be careful. Officer Zhang Gou will go and come back this time, and we must prevent him from storming Shenmu City."

"Of course, as long as Zhang Gouguan's army dares to cross Yongxing Fort, we will withdraw immediately." Wang Jiayin nodded, expressing that he would not be fooled by Young Master Zhang.The terrain of Shenmu is high in the west and low in the east, and the hilly area in the west is densely forested and mountainous. It is a paradise for thieves and thieves to move around. The main force of the road rebellion is mainly concentrated in the west side of Shenmu, and Yongxing Fort is also the northernmost point directly controlled by the main force of the rebellion. Once this place is lost, the main force of the rebellion will only retreat to Yulin in the southwest.
"Report—!" Before Wang Jiayin could finish his sentence, the shout of a messenger had already sounded outside the door. A dusty messenger rushed into the hall and knelt down on one knee, panting heavily and clasped his fists and said, "Report Shan Wang, Zhang Gouguan's army has arrived at Yongxing Fort, and is preparing siege weapons such as ladders and platforms. General Wang Guozhong, who is guarding Yongxing Fort, asks for an order to give up Yongxing and retreat to Shenmu?"

"Officer Zhang Gou came so fast this time!" Wang Jiayin took a breath, and hurriedly ordered: "Tell Wang Guozhong to stand up for me, at least three days before he is allowed to withdraw, and then directly withdraw to Yulin! Everyone else, let me move Get up and retreat back to Yulin immediately!" The thieves agreed with a bang, and rushed back to organize their own team to go south—after dealing with Young Master Zhang for more than half a year, these thieves not only did not take the initiative to attack and confront Young Master Zhang head-on No more thoughts, even the interest in having a face-to-face meeting with Young Master Zhang is completely gone.

As Wang Jiayin's younger brother, although Wang Guozhong was very unwilling to take on the task of the queen, but after receiving Wang Jiayin's order to stick to it for at least three days, Wang Guozhong still resolutely led the army and the Xuanda army who attacked the fort to do it—forever Xingbao is one of the most important passes in Yansui Town of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. The terrain is steep and the castle is strong. Wang Guozhong paid for it to defend it for three days. There is still some hope.What Wang Guozhong didn't expect was that the Xuanda army commanded by Young Master Zhang would not attack like the Tatar cavalry in the past. Instead, they would build a wooden platform and deploy snipers. He walked forward with hundreds of bamboo poles with large oil-soaked cotton balls tied to the top, threw the blazing cotton balls into the fort, and sprayed kerosene with a water dragon to increase the fire. In just a moment, only [-] soldiers could be stationed. The inside of Yongxing Fort was already a sea of ​​flames, and the defenders were crying and howling, jumping up and down, before Young Master Zhang commanded the ladder team to attack the fort, Wang Guozhong, whose hair was on fire, had already opened the gate of the fort, and fled to the west side of the Great Wall with the remnants of the defeated soldiers up.Only three hours from the start to the end of the battle, Yongxing Fort fell into the hands of Xuanda's army.

After pulling out the nail of Yongxing Fort, Young Master Zhang didn't clean up the battlefield, and directly sent his troops south to fight the Shenmu.Wang Jiayin and other bandit leaders were shocked when they heard the news, and hurriedly threw down the old and weak women and children before they could take them away, and quickly left the battlefield through the deep mountains and old forests to the west of Shenmu. He and most of his family, women and children moved to Yulin and Jiazhou. The army stationed in Shenmu was the main force capable of fighting and running, so the retreat was extremely fast. As soon as the Xuanda army arrived at the city of Shenmu, the main force of the rebels had already entered Dabai Mountain.The main force of Xuanda's army composed of cavalry and chariot soldiers didn't want to cross mountains and mountains, let alone massacre the old and weak women and children abandoned by the rebels. They just captured Shenmu City and stationed in Shenmu City.

When they captured Yongxing Fort and Shenmu City, Xuanda's army captured about thirty or forty main soldiers of the rebels who had no time to escape. Young Master Zhang didn't execute them all as usual, nor did he expel them like the old, weak, women and children After the matter was settled, he stayed and took it to the army. It was not until the Xuanda army had completely settled down in Shenmu City that Young Master Zhang received these thirty or so hapless bastards in the lobby of Shenmu City's county government office, and let the soldiers Three days of dry food and travel expenses of one tael of silver were distributed to these thirty or so unlucky people.

"If you want to survive, you must read the words of this governor verbatim, and then bring them to your leaders." Young Master Zhang said coldly to the thirty or so captives: "Tell them, from today, the north of Shenmu The land in Shaanxi is taken over by the Xuanda army. If they are smart enough, they should not think about crossing this boundary line. Otherwise, one governor will kill one, and two governors will kill one pair! If they are smarter, You can take your hands down and surrender to the governor or the army of the governor, and the governor thinks that God has the virtue of good life, and he can spare their lives! — Do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly." Thirty or so unlucky guys answered unevenly and tremblingly.Young Master Zhang didn't talk too much, he just waved his hands and shouted: "Come here, drive these guys out of the Shenmu South Gate, if you dare to take a step back, you will be killed! Also, just pass on the order of the governor, and start today to fully repair the Shenmu." The city wall, from now on this place will be the bridgehead for our Xuanda army to prevent the thieves from advancing eastward!"

"Decree!" The bodyguard team headed by Zhang Shitou agreed, and Zhang Shitou personally led the team and escorted the thirty or so hapless people out of the Shenmu county government office.The new master Shi Kefa who was on the side was bewildered and baffled by what he heard. The thirty prisoners had just been taken away, and Shi Kefa couldn't wait to ask: "Zhang Xiantai, don't you plan to let Xuanda's army completely withdraw across the Yellow River? Are you going back to Xuanda? You also deliberately let us spread the news that the Tatar army is about to invade Xuanda. Why did you turn south when you reached the Yellow River and repair and strengthen the defense of Shenmu City, intending to build Shenmu as a bridgehead for our Xuanda army? ?”

"I can't help it, I'm tired of being famous. I did go too far in some things before." Young Master Zhang smiled wryly, and said with a bit of self-blame: "Everyone knows that I like to use soldiers to make surprises, even if it is the most Ordinary advances and retreats like to create a lot of illusions to cover up the real purpose, so if I withdraw the army straight away, the thieves in Shaanxi will definitely not believe that I am really withdrawing the army, or even that the Tatar army is really going to declare Great progress. Moreover, the captives captured by us in Hequ also confessed that a middle-aged literati who lost his left hand had a heated fight with Luo Rucai, the brain of the rebels. If I guessed correctly, that guy is probably me My old opponent, the big traitor Fan Wencheng, this traitor is very familiar with my combat characteristics and style of using troops, if I retreat directly, he will definitely not be fooled."

"So Zhang Xiantai, you did the opposite, using a fake attack to cover a fake retreat?" Shi Kefa, whose heart was as pure as the mineral water of Yuquan Mountain, stayed with Young Master Zhang for two months, and was finally led to a little by Young Master Zhang. , and began to learn to use the belly of a gentleman to save Master Zhang's villainous heart.Young Master Zhang nodded slowly, admitting his plan.Shi Kefa asked curiously again: "Zhang Xiantai, what should we do next? How can we convince the thieves that we are really retreating?"

"I'm not already doing it?" Young Master Zhang said with a smile: "As I said just now, no one would believe that I would easily reveal my true tactical intentions, so if I let the thieves take them back, Wang Jiayin's gang of thieves will They will definitely listen the other way, but they will not believe that I will really build a bridgehead in Shenmu. As long as they have doubts, we will have an opportunity." Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang added with a smile: "And I do this , it’s not just Wang Jiayin’s gang of thieves who intend to deceive, there are also two people who will definitely doubt our true intentions and react in our favor.”

"Who?" Shi Kefa asked curiously.Young Master Zhang pursed his lips and replied: "Sun Chengzong, Hong Chengchou."

………………

Young Master Zhang does not engage in conspiracies and tricks and is uncomfortable. Ski's reputation is indeed notorious, and he almost catches up with the old hooligan Wang Yangming who was also uncomfortable in front of the battle. Therefore, those prisoners released by Xuan Da's army brought the original words of Young Master Zhang to him. After Yulin, the first reaction of the thieves of Route 29 headed by Wang Jiayin and Master Zhang's old opponent Fan Wencheng was—absolutely don't believe it!The second reaction is - it is definitely Young Master Zhang who is plotting!Moreover, if the Xuanda army wants to build a bridgehead to prevent the thieves from advancing eastward, in addition to controlling Shenmu, they must also control at least two strategic hubs, Jiazhou and Xingxian, in order to hope to push the Xuanda army's Fenhe defense line to the Yellow River. Otherwise, it is definitely not enough to control a Shenmu!
"By the way, we heard such news in Officer Zhang Gou's army." A prisoner who was more loyal to Wang Jiayin reported: "There are rumors in Officer Zhang Gou's army that there is a Tatar army in the north. They are marching towards the Xuan Mansion, and the troops are very strong, and I don’t know if the army of Xuan Manor Zhang Gou alone can stop it.”

"Anti-scheming! It's definitely an anti-scheming!" Fan Wencheng sneered loudly, "I know Zhang Haogu's temper as a little mad dog. On the battlefield, he has never fought honestly and only likes to sneak around. Even if he is a soldier, he will come up with dozens of tricks to deceive people, and he will not feel comfortable unless he dazzles people. Moreover, he cannot believe a word he said on the battlefield. Listen, you have to listen the other way around! He is stationed in Shenmu, and he is spreading the news that the Tatars have invaded the Xuanfu in the army. He just wants to use these two contradictory pieces of information to confuse us and make us unclear. His true intentions!"

"It makes sense, our army can't beat Officer Zhang Gou's army head-on, so we must not take risks." Wang Jiayin nodded in agreement, "We can only respond to changes with the same, before confirming that Officer Zhang Gou's army really withdraws, Never take any chances."

"But what is the purpose of Officer Zhang Gou doing this?" Zhang Xianzhong, who is more military-minded, asked, "While spreading the news of the Tatar invasion, he is building walls in Shenmu and stationing troops. What is he trying to do?" Enter? Or do you want to retreat?"

"I can't know about this for the time being." Fan Wencheng pondered and said: "The only safe way now is to send more scouts to closely monitor every move of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog army, and make plans after confirming his real purpose .”

"Could it be that the Tatar army really came to attack the Xuanfu?" Luo Rucai asked a new question, "Mr. Fan, you also said that as long as we restrain Zhang Gouguan for a month or two, your Dajin's army and The Tatar army can seize the opportunity to attack the Xuanda Great Wall, and now we have held him for more than a month, so it should be time for the army to attack Zhang Gouguan from behind, right?"

Fan Wencheng didn't rush to answer, after thinking for a long time, Fan Wencheng still nodded, and said: "It is not ruled out, but don't worry, my lords, I have carefully arranged in Xuanfu and Datong, if Xuanda The Great Wall is really in an emergency, and they will definitely send the news as soon as possible. These people are all big gold players I brought from Liaodong, and the news is more reliable than anyone else. So now we can only respond to changes with the same, Let’s wait for my people to send the news.”

………………

Out of fear of Young Master Zhang's notoriety for cheating, the thieves of the 29th Route dare not take any risks. They just spread out their scouts every day and closely monitor every move of Young Master Zhang's army. Unfortunately, Young Master Zhang has long been prepared for this. Armed to the teeth, the Wolf Cavalry, Ji Cavalry, and Tiger Hunting Squads of the slave slaughter army took turns to attack, serving as scouts and launching anti-reconnaissance battles with the scouts of the rogues. ——The scouts of the slave army equipped with binoculars and rifled muskets and the scouts of the thieves who only rely on naked eyes to detect are not bullying what is it?As a result, not to mention the heavy casualties of the scouts of the rebels, the information that can be obtained is also pitiful. Only a few fish that slipped through the net approached Shenmu City in the dark, and more or less discovered something, that is, the Xuanda army A pontoon bridge was built on the Yellow River to the east of Shenmu. Every day, the Xuanda army's luggage team went back and forth between Shenmu and Kelanzhou to transport grain, grass and luggage.

I can't wait to find out that the real purpose of Xuanda's army is not just the 29th road thieves, the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu Sun Chengzong and the governor of Shaanxi Hong Chengchou who are heavily stationed in Yan'an Prefecture to prevent the thieves from going south are also among them-how they hope that the thieves will all abandon Shaanxi Go to Xuanda to cause disaster.Therefore, after receiving the two contradictory news that the Tatars invaded the Xuan Mansion and the Xuan Da army built a bridgehead in Shenmu, Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou also became suspicious. Xiliu's trick drove all the main forces of the rebels entrenched on the Shaanxi-Shanxi border to the hinterland of Shaanxi. Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou were the real worst offenders.

Worried, Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou also had to try to find out the real intention of Young Master Zhang, so that they could formulate a plan to divert the disaster.However, it is much more convenient for Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou to scout the movement of Xuanda's army. An excuse to send a letter can send scouts into the army of Young Master Zhang. In the military, Du Yingfang personally acted as a messenger. In the letter, she used the excuse of joining forces with the Xuanda army. Du Yingfang secretly visited the movement of the Xuanda army, and scouted the real intention of the Xuanda army both openly and secretly.

On June 23, Du Yingfang, who was protected by a team of elite cavalry, passed through the northern part of Yan'an Mansion, which was ravaged by thieves, and arrived in Shenmu territory with difficulty. After showing the token certificate to the patrolling Ming army, Du Yingfang was quickly led into the In Shenmu City, and was immediately personally received by Young Master Zhang.And Young Master Zhang and Du Yingfang had met once in Shanhaiguan last time, and this time they were old friends reunited. After exchanging hypocritical polite words to each other, Du Yingfang quickly presented Sun Chengzong's letter to Young Master Zhang, and said enthusiastically: "Zhang Xiantai, you sent troops to Shaanxi this time, crossed the border to suppress bandits, and saved the people of Shaanxi from fire and water. It can be said that you have helped the Shaanxi-Gansu army a lot. Mr. Sun Ge and Hong Futai are very grateful. Recently we heard that Zhang Xiantai plans to station you Sun Gelao and Hong Futai are even more grateful for preventing the thieves from fleeing and wreaking havoc. In order to express their gratitude, Sun Gelao specially sent Xiaosheng to thank you face to face on his behalf, and discussed the situation between the Shaanxi-Gansu Army and Xuanda. Regarding the joint military suppression of bandits, I also hope that Zhang Xiantai will work together with our Shaanxi-Gansu army to wipe out the bandits for the sake of his old friendship and his service to the imperial court."

"Mr. Du, please don't be polite, it's all for the imperial court, so you don't need to say thank you." Young Master Zhang looked at Sun Chengzong's letter and said hypocritically: "As for joining hands with the Shanxi-Gansu army to wipe out the rebels, Zhang Haogu couldn't wish more , as long as the strategy for dispatching troops is agreed upon, Zhang Haogu will definitely do his best to repay Sun Ge for his guidance."

The content of the letter written by Sun Chengzong is very simple, and it is full of evil intentions. Apart from a lot of gorgeous rhetoric, he poured the Shaanxi-Gansu soup on Young Master Zhang. Yulin, at the same time, the Shaanxi-Gansu army also went north to capture Suide, compressed the main force of the rebels to Mizhi and Jiazhou, and then worked together to wipe them out-of course, if Jiazhou is not close to the Yellow River, the other side of the Yellow River is not Master Zhang If you declare a large territory, then Young Master Zhang may have some interest in this proposal.

"Success, that's it!" Young Master Zhang probably didn't see the intentions of Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou, but he patted the table and agreed on the spot.As a result, Du Yingfang, who was also extremely jealous of Young Master Zhang's cunning, was a little stunned, and asked hesitantly, "Zhang Xiantai, did you just agree? No conditions?"

"It's also serving the court and benefiting the common people. What conditions does this Governor have?" Young Master Zhang's expression was more puzzled than Du Yingfang's, and he said with a smile: "Besides, Shaanxi and Gansu have been suffering from drought for years, and hungry people are everywhere. I can't be like others. In that case, ask Mr. Sun Ge for food, grass, and military pay? Please ask Mr. Du to play back to Sun Ge, and let him rest assured that this joint battle will cost all the Xuanda army, food, supplies, and soldiers who died in battle. The pensions are all in the responsibility of Xuanda himself, and there is no need to pay a tael of silver or a piece of grain from Shaanxi and Gansu!"

"When did Zhang Haogu become so generous?" Du Yingfang suspected that her ears had misheard—Du Yingfang clearly remembered that in the first half of this year, Sun Chengzong borrowed food and soldiers from Young Master Zhang twice, but Young Master Zhang was always worthless. what!At this time, Young Master Zhang suddenly said again: "By the way, if there is any condition, it is that the governor hopes that the Shaanxi-Gansu army can go north immediately and capture Suide first, and then I will send troops to attack Yulin-I am not If you want to preserve your strength, Mr. Du, you also know that I can reach Yulin in three days at most when I send troops from Shenmu, and it takes at least ten days for Mr. Sun Ge to reach Suide when I send troops from Yan'an. In this way, if I send troops early, The rebels went south and entered Suide first, and our Xuanda army and the Shaanxi-Gansu army's plan to encircle the rebels in Mizhi and Jiazhou has come to naught."

"Let me just say, this little slicker is not so generous." Du Yingfang snorted coldly in her heart, despising Young Master Zhang's sinister intentions - if the main force of the Shaanxi-Gansu army goes north from Yan'an to Suide, there will be loopholes in Anding and Baoan. Once the Xuanda army sent troops to seize Jiazhou again, the main force of the rebels would probably go south to the hinterland of Shaanxi via Anding and Baoan.But Du Yingfang never expected Young Master Zhang to be fooled by Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou, she just smiled and said: "What Zhang Xiantai said is very true, but it's just a big matter, the students have to report it to Elder Sun Ge, please decide it yourself."

"No problem, I'll edit a book myself, and ask Mr. Du to take it back and submit it to the old man." Young Master Zhang agreed again, and said again: "Come here, prepare a banquet, and clean up Mr. Du's dust."

After eating a meal in the Shenmu County Yamen, Du Yingfang was sent to the back hall by Young Master Zhang's personal soldiers to rest. However, Du Yingfang still shouldered the important responsibility of scouting the real situation of Xuanda's army. With the few entourages he brought from Yan'an, he left the county office and started touring the streets of Shenmu City.But before going far, Du Yingfang realized that something was wrong. Since the Xuanda army planned to build Shenmu as a bridgehead to prevent thieves from entering the east, there should be many garrisons and civilians in Shenmu City, but the streets in Shenmu City The residential area was pitch black, the houses were dilapidated and empty, and there was no sign of repairing the garrison.There are not many garrisons in some intact houses, and even if there are, there are mostly horses-there seems to be ready to stick to it for a long time, and it is almost ready to flee at any time!
"Strange? What the hell is Zhang Haogu planning to do?" While Du Yingfang was wondering, several Shaanxi-Gansu cavalrymen who came to protect him from Yan'an approached him, and one of the Shaanxi soldiers whispered in Du Yingfang's ear: "Mr. , The situation is not right. We just sneaked a look at the grain depot in Shenmu City, and found that the depot was empty, and there was not much grain at all. Also, our brothers who were in ambush in Shenmu earlier discovered that they came from Kelan Prefecture in the past few days The Xuanda transport team, when they came, the carts were full of stones, but when they went back, the carts were loaded with real grain and grass.”

"Are you sure?!" Du Yingfang asked nervously.The Shanxi cavalryman nodded and replied: "I'll see it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true."

"Understood." Du Yingfang suddenly realized, and said with a sinister smile: "Good Zhang Haogu, you played a beautiful game of reducing troops and adding stoves. Withdrew the army, withdrew the food, withdrew the main force to Xuanda, left a little Qingqi in front of Shenmu, and could run away at any time! He even wanted to trick our Shaanxi army to Suide, and let us attract the attention of the main force of the thieves for you. There are not many people who are as cunning as you are!" Du Yingfang hurriedly ordered: "Go back and take the ten pigeons we brought with you. Take it all out and send this news back to Yan'an."

"Use all ten carrier pigeons? What if the thieves find out and shoot one or two?" A entourage asked in surprise.Du Yingfang smiled, and replied: "If that's the case, maybe Mr. Sun Ge and Hong Futai will be happier secretly."

………………

Du Yingfang was not very lucky, all the ten pigeons he released flew back to Yan'an Mansion smoothly, but this was enough for the Shaanxi-Gansu Army.Knowing Young Master Zhang's intention to withdraw from the Shaanxi-Gansu quagmire, Sun Chengzong immediately stood up and shouted: "Yanyan (Hong Chengchou), you lead five thousand elite troops to attack Bailuo City by way of Anding, and I will lead the main force northward to Suide. Completely block the road for the main force of the rebels to go south to the hinterland of Shaanxi, and when Zhang Haogu's army is all withdrawn to Shanxi Town, the main force of the rebels will inevitably go east to Xuanda! ——Zhang Haogu, the little devil, the Ming army in the whole world is his army With enough food and salary, and wanting to sneak around and watch the fire from the other side, even if he doesn't want to do his best to suppress the bandits this time!"

The Shaanxi-Gansu army, which had been standing still for a long time in Yan'an Mansion, suddenly dispatched troops, and the troops were divided into two groups to capture Bailuo City and Suide, completely blocking the way for the main force of the rebels to go south.When the news first reached Yulin, the rebels on the 29th Route were really taken aback. They were afraid that the Shaanxi-Gansu Army and the Xuanda Army were preparing for a joint battle and spared no effort to block them in the Yulin area.Fortunately, at this time, Fan Wencheng finally received the urgent report he had arranged in Xuanfu - the army of Tatar Lindan had arrived in Ulan and Shuo, and was approaching Zhangjiakou!Fan Wencheng was overjoyed, he cheered the great Khan of Jiannu and the prosperity of the heavens, and hurriedly reported the good news to the thieves on the 29th Route, encouraging them to cross the Yellow River eastward and stab Young Master Zhang in the back!

"Impossible?" When the long-awaited good news came, Wang Jiayin couldn't believe his luck would be so good, and exclaimed in surprise: "Officer Zhang Gou has an official post station and a carrier pigeon to deliver the news, so he must have known about it a long time ago. Xuanda Great Wall is in an emergency, so why is his main force still motionless in Shenmu City?"

"Empty city plan! It's definitely an empty city plan!" Fan Wencheng yelled frantically, "That little mad dog Zhang Haogu has retreated first these days, and threatened to garrison Shenmu with heavy troops, and desperately robbed and killed your scouts who were investigating the situation of Shenmu. Let you know the real situation of Shenmu! The purpose is to scare you and force you to go south or west, so that he can get away and return to the northern battlefield!"

"Is it really an empty city plan? Could it be that Zhang Gouguan is playing tricks again?" Wang Jiayin was still a little hesitant.At this time, Zhang Xianzhong stood up and said loudly: "King of Shaanxi, there is no need to hesitate. Is Zhang Gouguan playing an empty city strategy? Our army only needs to go to Shenmu to understand. If it is really an empty city strategy, Zhang Gouguan's army will surely To withdraw across the Yellow River, if not, then we still have time to go south, otherwise, once the troops of Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou control Suide and Bailuo City, our army wants to go south from Yulin to Shaanxi, but there will be no way! "

"That's right, I have to gamble anyway!" Wang Jiayin slapped his thigh and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army will be dispatched, and the troops will be dispatched to Shenmu City!"
