Chapter 705: Two-pronged approach

Tian Guofeng slapped the edge of the sand table vigorously and said excitedly: "I will be the vanguard of this battle. Thousands of cavalry rushed, and the opponent collapsed. Then the army launched, and the overall situation was determined by a battle."

Cao Bin held the shaking sand table and said angrily: "Tian Guofeng, don't beat my sand table down, I have put a lot of effort into it."

Tian Guofeng stopped awkwardly.

"Guofeng is very willing to fight." Zhu Youzhen said: "What does General Cao think?"

Cao Bin stood up straight and looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Third Prince, you are a long-time general. Of course, you have to fight this battle, but you are absolutely careless. The Wuning Army will never be as cowardly as we imagined."

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a while and nodded.

Tian Guofeng was about to speak, and Cao Bin glared at him and said, "General Tian, ​​I am forgiving me, so far, you have not fought a serious battle with the regular army. In the past, in Tai'an, you basically fought local soldiers, and this was still quite different from the real elite. In Guide, even if you have great military achievements, you can tell yourself that this battle is difficult? The other party is unprepared. This time it is different. This time, you are setting up a battle and holding it with a clear sword and a sharp gun. There is no point in taking a trick."

"What do you think so much, just chop it up." Tian Guofeng said carelessly.

"Kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself?" Cao Bin shook his head and said, "What does this kind of war mean to us? If the war is won, what are we left? Your Highness, what you need to consider is not just Wuning!"

Zhu Youzhen knew what Cao Bin was saying.

"There is news from Shi Hong that the army mobilization of Gunhai and Wuning borders is abnormal, and what this means is self-evident!" Cao Bin said: "If we advance rashly and fight Pang Xun at the city of Xuzhou, the enemies of Dahuang Mountain and Kui Mountain will inevitably pose a huge threat to us. Once we cannot defeat our opponents as quickly as possible, we may fall into difficulties." Cao Bin said.

This is in a dilemma. Zhu Youzhen must defeat his opponent as soon as possible, otherwise there may be other changes and a disruptor will appear on the battlefield of Wuning. However, it is a huge risky act to defeat his opponent as soon as possible.

Zhu Youzhen was extremely annoyed for a moment. He finally realized the difficulties caused by insufficient troops. If he had enough troops that he could absolutely trust, then this time, he could push over, divide his troops to defend and block, and focus on one attack, so as to defeat each one.

But now, he only used more than 7,000 troops and horses, and it is impossible for all of these more than 7,000 people to be sent to the battlefield. In short, it would be great if he could use five thousand people on the front line.

"Then how about attacking these two wings first?" Tian Guofeng suggested.

"Whether it is Dahuang Mountain or Kui Mountain, there are complete fortresses, which exist as the guardian of Xuzhou City. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Pang Xun is probably hoping that we will do this!" Cao Bin shook his head.

"This is not possible, nothing can be done!" Tian Guofeng said angrily: "Then why are we still staying here? It is also a knife to stretch our heads, and it is also a knife to shrink our heads. How can we know if it is okay if it is not fought?"

"General Tian, ​​war is not a joke!" Cao Bin said.

"I know. But now you have no choice?" Tian Guofeng turned his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, I will take people there, and I don't need other people. I only take my headquarters. We used to live in Mount Tai. Can these two broken mountains be more dangerous than Mount Tai?"

Zhu Youzhen was moved by it.

As long as one of the horns on both sides is broken, the stable triangular defense will be broken.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression, Tian Guofeng continued: "I brought people up the mountain to cause chaos. Most of His Highness's troops pretend to move in this direction. In this way, Pang Xun in Xuzhou might not be able to sit still and lead his troops out of the city to rescue him. If His Highness can attack halfway, wouldn't it be equivalent to luring them out of the decisive battle?"

"Are you sure?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Your Highness, you want me to guarantee you that I dare not give it, but I promise to do my best." Tian Guofeng said.

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "There is no way to go. It's better than ours now. General Cao, what do you think?"

Cao Bin pondered for a moment: "I can only try this way."

"Okay, since everyone has agreed to their opinions, let's discuss the details." Zhu Youzhen said excitedly.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a guard walked in and bowed and said, "Your Highness, Zhou Qun is asking for a meeting."

"What are he doing?" Zhu Youzhen frowned. After Zhou Qun surrendered, Cao Bin brought him by his side, and used him to stabilize the soldiers and generals who were recruited in Guide. "Let him come in and speak!"

Zhou Qun walked into the tent with a hunchback, first gave a big gift to Zhu Youzhen, then turned around and bowed to Cao Bin and Tian Guofeng.

"Zhou Fujun, is there anything wrong?" Zhu Youzhen, who was disgusted before, now had a smile on his face: "Is there something wrong with Guide soldiers?"

"No, no!" Zhou Qun said: "It was just now that I and Jiang Qi were discussing this war. Your Highness, you know I don't understand military affairs, but Jiang Qi led the army to fight."

Jiang Qi was the Wuning Army general who surrendered after being intimidated by Chen Fu in the Sugezhuang military camp.

Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly: "What do you say about Jiang Qi?"

"Jiang Qi said this battle is difficult to fight." Zhou Qun said: "When you enter Xuzhou, you will be affected by the two wings and attack the two wings first, but because the terrain of the two wings is dangerous, it is difficult to succeed. The Third Your Highness will definitely not trust them, such as the surrendered soldiers and generals, and it is even more impossible to let them control the enemy on both wings. Otherwise, if they turn against the water, it will be a disaster for the Third Your Highness."

Zhu Youzhen laughed: "This Jiang Qi has a good attitude. She still has some skills. Zhou Qun, are you here to tell me a secret?"

"No, no!" Zhou Qun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I am here to share the worries of the Third Prince."

"What worries can you share for me?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Zhou Qun took a step forward, approached Zhu Youzhen, and whispered: "Your Highness, Liu Xuan, the Wuning Guardian on Kuishan, is aware of the lower officials. The lower officials are willing to go to Kuishan to surrender to the third high official."

All three people in the tent were surprised, and they were beyond expectations.

"Do you know this person? How sure?" Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and asked with a strong suppression.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression change in an instant, Zhou Qun knew that he took the initiative to invite Ying, but he was afraid that he had really touched the weakness of His Highness the Third Highness, and he was secretly happy.

He is very sad now, and he can't help thinking about the future. Now he has no choice. Not only him, but the entire Zhou family has fallen into the hands of the Third Prince. It's a very simple truth. If the Third Prince fails, his fate will definitely not be much better. Even if the Third Prince doesn't deal with him mercilessly, will Pang Xun and Pang Jieshuai who have recovered from it let him go?

Of course not.

Now he can only walk one way to the dark.

"Liu Xuanwen and I still have some friendship, and I know very well that this person is not satisfied with Pang Xun." Zhou Qun said: "I dare not say that I am absolutely sure, but there are always 50% or 60% of them, but I don't know what treatment your highness can give him?"

"What was this Liu Xuanwen's title before?"

"He was not proud before, he was just a general under the fifth grade of Huaihua Lang."

"Tell him that as long as he surrenders to me, he will be the General of the Central Army of Guide. I promise that he can control one side in the future and unify the army alone." Zhu Youzhen said.

This is the fourth level of upgrade.

Zhou Qun was overjoyed and bowed, "Third Prince, I will set off for Kuishan."

"If this matter is done, I will not treat you badly." Looking at Zhou Qun's back, Zhu Youzhen smiled.

Zhou Qun turned around, bowed deeply to the ground, and then strode out of the tent.

"Then, do I still need to go and fight?" Tian Guofeng touched her head and asked at Zhu Youzhen.

"Fight!" Zhu Youzhen waved his fist: "We cannot completely pin our hopes on Zhou Qun. Whether this person can succeed is another statement. If it succeeds, it will add a lot of bargaining chips to our victory in this battle. If he fails to persuade us to surrender, as long as we succeed, it will be fine for the overall situation."

"That's to fight Dahuang Mountain." Tian Guofeng nodded and said, "Your Highness, I need a rough topographic map of Dahuang Mountain."

"Shi Hong is collecting things in this regard." Zhu Youzhen said: "You should get what you want soon, General Cao, then tell me what you think."

Cao Bin nodded and said, "General Tian went up the mountain to attack. The main force on our side did not move, but we could send surrendered soldiers led by Jiang Qi to approach Dahuang Mountain. On the way, you can make more tricks to confuse the enemy, so that Pang Xun mistakenly thought that we would attack Dahuang Mountain with all our might. In this way, if something happened to Dahuang Mountain, Pang Xun would definitely go out of the city to rescue him."

"I acted with Jiang Qi. On the one hand, it was to supervise the war, and on the other hand, it was to convince Pang Xun." Zhu Youzhen said.

Cao Bin nodded: "The Third Highness goes to Jiangqi's camp and you must control this person."

"Of course." Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "General Cao led his main force to ambush Pang Xun halfway. In fact, as long as he leaves the city, it will be enough. The total 6,000 Xuanwu Army is enough to defeat the opponent."

One day later, a thousand elite troops led by Tian Guofeng appeared under Dahuang Mountain. The soldiers threw away all their long weapons and even their armored stomachs. They only brought horizontal swords and crossbow machines with them. Everyone carried a lot of crossbow arrows. All the soldiers were making final preparations. For them, such a mountain was nothing.

Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu tied hemp ropes to their boots, while saying to Chen Fu in confusion: "Why do we have to fight so hard? Do you know that if we fight such a war, many people will die."
