Chapter 89: The Truth Is True

More than a thousand Bashu men, led by Zhang Ren, kept approaching Zitong County.

This large-scale Bashu army naturally attracted the attention of the defenders of Zitong City, especially the chief general Zhao Wei. When Zhao Wei led this army with Zhang Ren, his heart trembled slightly.

After several confrontations, Zhao Wei certainly had a certain understanding of Zhang Ren's ability. Therefore, in the face of such a situation, he quickly concentrated the troops in his hands and prepared to deal with the provocations that Zhang Ren might issue next.

However, Zhang Ren did not attack Zitong as he expected. Instead, he walked around the west side of Zitong, came to the north of Zitong City, and set up a tent on the mountain road of Jiameng Pass.

Zhao Wei was also very serious about this matter. He did not expect that Zhang Ren would go directly to Zitong and station on the mountain road to Jiameng. On the one hand, this would cut off the connection between Zitong and Jiameng, and on the other hand, it would add pressure to Zitong's north.

Although what Zhao Wei and Li Fu discussed was to give up Jiameng, just when Jia Meng was isolated from Zi Tong, Zhao Wei realized that Jia Meng was actually quite important.

However, before Zhao Wei could make any response strategy to Zhang Ren's troops, Liu Fan's general Gan Ning led his soldiers to occupy the mountain road entrance from Zitong to Langzhong. This move directly attracted close attention in Zitong City.

Seeing Gan Ning shouting as people camped in the mountain road leading to Langzhong from Zitong, Li Fu's face turned pale. It took him a long time to communicate with Zhao Yu beside him.

"Liu Fan's generals, Zhang Ren and Gan Ning, are blocking the north and the east. Do you really want to trap us and die in Zitong?"

"From the news from Langzhong, Shen Mi's momentum in Bazhong is too huge. Liu Fan must be afraid that after we go to Bazhong, he will ruin his good things!"

After all, Zhao Wei was immersed in the affairs of prefectures and counties for many years and had a certain keen control over the current situation. Liu Fan was also the nominal heir of Yizhou, so his vision should never be ignored by Shen Mi. Therefore, Zhao Wei is basically sure that the problem lies with Shen Mi.

"In other words, Liu Fan is afraid that we will be unable to deal with Shen Mi after we go to Bazhong?"

Nodded, Zhao Wei firmly believed that, "It must be so. Liu Fan must have wanted to take this opportunity to take over Bazhong, but Bazhong has a lot of power. Now there are dozens of counties and towns that have been in charge. In this way, if we are like Bazhong and unite the power of the county, it will be extremely unfavorable for him. Therefore, he will definitely not let us escape from Zitong easily!"

After Zhao Wei's analysis, Li Fu also felt that it made sense. After all, he followed Liu Yan's old man. Zhao Wei still had some understanding of the methods of the Yizhou governor. If the tiger father had no dog son, it was not a day's words. Liu Fan had contacted him several times, and his scheming was not ordinary.

Therefore, Li Fu also believed in Zhao Wei's statement.

Since Liu Fan is not a simple person, he will never let Shen Mi be arrogant easily. Therefore, it is understandable to encircle them in Zitong.

"In this way, will our army next defeat Ganning's troops and march eastward into Langzhong?"

After meditating silently for a long time, Zhao Wei shook his head: "If our army goes east, we may really fall into the trap of the other party!"

His eyes changed quietly, and Li Fu was thinking, "What you mean is that the reason why Liu Fan arranged this way was actually to let our army attack Gan Ning in the east and then suffer heavy losses? But Gan Ning is clearly the strongest existence among his generals?"

"Since this is Liu Fan's cleverness, he deliberately sent Gan Ning to the east, just to make them think that the east is his main defense, and never made us worry that the road to Langzhong would be cut off, so he fought hard to attack the east. And he might have been ambushing many ambushing troops in the east of Zitong!"

"How is that possible? We have been supervising and have never found any traces of ambush outside the East City!"

"Did Sun De forget that the Ganning ambush that suddenly appeared in Fu County?"

His face became narrow and Li Fu looked embarrassed. When Ganning ambush suddenly appeared in Fu County, he was really shocked. He didn't expect when Liu Fanjun arranged an ambush.

"Then what you mean, what should I do?" Li Fu asked Zhao Wei.

"How to do it, I just make suggestions. When it comes to implementation, you need Sun De, your staff." Zhao Wei was a veteran and took the lead in putting aside the responsibility. "I analyzed so much, but in fact I was just considering whether Liu Fan pressed the center of the army to the east. If it was true, then our army could launch all its strength to attack the headquarters. As long as its headquarters was defeated, all plans would be vague."

He sneered, Zhao Wei seemed to understand the truth, "Actually, they didn't realize that the core of their ability to use their strategies and divide their troops to attack was Liu Fan. If Liu Fan was defeated by our army, no matter how many troops they had, they would have the only life to escape!"

His eyes lit up, and Li Fu stared at Zhao Wei with a burning look. At this moment, he also felt that Zhao Wei was the one who grasped the key to the problem.

"Then according to your opinion, our army will directly send troops to attack Liu Fan's unit regardless of the northeast sides?"

Nodded, Zhao Wei's eyes showed cleverness, "No, but we still have to test it before. We must take the next action through the reaction of Liu Fan's army and the reaction of Ganning's army when we observe Liu Fan's army."

His expression was stunned for a while, Li Fucai nodded thoughtfully. He was not stupid. Since Zhao Wei had already said so clearly, he naturally understood that if Liu Fan had the intention of misleading them to attack the Gan Ning tribe in front of him, then his tribe would not have left too many troops.

Then, when facing the sudden attack from the Zitong defenders, they would probably pretend to be calm and counterattack, and then quickly evacuate when they found that things were impossible. At that time, they would also face the defeat.

Therefore, as long as you attack Liu Fanjun, you can definitely determine the reality of the enemy. After understanding this, Li Fu was also confused, "In this way, is the general going to go out of the city to attack Liu Fanjun?"

His expression was slightly unnatural, and Zhao Wei also showed a little embarrassment, "Liu Fan is treacherous. In fact, the best way for our army is to defend and wait for attack!"

After being silent for a long time, Li Fu did not refute, "Then I will just wait here?"

Continuing to be embarrassed, Zhao Wei didn't know how to respond at this time. After hesitating for a long time, he was unsure, "Actually, we can send a soldier to try a raid!"

His eyes were slightly brighter, and Li Fu also felt that this strategy was a little more reliable. After thinking for a while, he also said, "The battle is still up to the general!"

Seeing that Li Fu did not stop him, Zhao Wei basically had a score in his mind at the moment.

Half an hour later, outside the west gate of Zitong City, a team of five hundred people slowly fell from the city wall and left the city. Since Zitong City was not far west, there was a barren mountain, and no one would care about the place where no one lived. So Liu Fan did not send troops to siege him.

On the one hand, Liu Fan himself also wanted to surround three ques and one. If Li Fu or Zhao Wei was scared and ran away by himself, it would reduce him a lot of trouble. However, Zhao Wei obviously would not give up easily without trying.

So, without Liu Fan and others knowing that, a vanguard army of 500 people in the army sneaked into Liu Fan's headquarters. At this moment, Liu Fan's army camp was unaware of it.

In Liu Fan's camp, he was discussing with Fa Zheng that Zi Tong might implement an attack strategy, and suddenly heard the shouts of killing in the northwest. He rushed out of the camp, and Liu Fan also found that Zi Tong's soldiers came to attack.

At this moment, Liu Fan roared hard and commanded the soldiers to fight back. However, the huge Liu Fan camp seemed to have not had enough soldiers. It took a long time to defeat the sneak attackers in Zitong City.

And all of this was naturally seen by Zhao Wei and Li Fu standing in the south city. After being silent for a long time, Zhao Wei hesitated, "It may be that he deliberately showed it to us!"

Li Fu stared at Liu Fanxingyuan who was gradually calming down his riot. After a long time, he said quietly: "What the general said is reasonable, but the general doesn't want to prove it. Is his speculation correct?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Zhao Wei's expression was extremely exciting. In fact, he had never recognized Liu Fan in his heart. He felt that he was not a wise and powerful monarch. Otherwise, his rebellion against Liu Fan would have become a huge joke.

So, when Li Fu said this, a string hidden in his heart was also plucked. After a long silence, Zhao Wei finally buzzed: "Our army can actually send another team of soldiers to attack. They would not have thought that our army would attack again."

"I'm just worried that if the general continues to not attack, but the other party figures out the intention of our army's temptation and retreats, our army will suffer a loss!" Li Fuyouyou said his thoughts.

After hearing what he said, Zhao Wei was still a little hesitant. Just when he was hesitating, the army Sima who had been sent by him to Beicheng and Dongcheng to test Zhang Ren and Ganning also sent someone back to report. Beicheng, Dongcheng's counterattack was very tough and instantly killed the sneak attack soldiers. If he hadn't escaped too quickly, he would have probably died there.

The arrival of this sentence really shocked Zhao Wei.
