Luo Zhenyu saluted and continued: "Although Sun Xuanya's army is twice as powerful as Wang Bo, its equipment is poor, with only 10,000 people equipped with Sui army. Therefore, the key to the two of them being able to live in peace is that Wang Bo's army is strong. ~,"

In fact, Pei Renji knew all of this information. He just didn't believe Zhang Xuan very much. He wanted to confirm it from Luo Zhenyu that what Luo Zhenyu said was exactly the same as Zhang Xuan's information. He nodded, "Since Wang Bo has strong military strength, he must act cautiously. Under my order, the army will rest for three days!"

Pei In-ki needs Zhang Xuan’s cooperation before he can officially go south to attack Wang Bojun.

After Zhang Xuan's army captured Dong'an County and Yishui County, the bandits guarding Ju County immediately evacuated, allowing Zhang Xuan's troops to occupy Ju County without bloodshed. He immediately ordered Yuchi Gong to rectify the surrendered soldiers in Dong'an County and train them into useful troops.

Zhang Xuan did not stay too much, and he immediately led 5,000 troops to carry the baggage south, targeting Fei County, an important town in Langya County.

Fei County is located in the central and southern part of Langya County, only 60 miles away from Linyi County. It is known as the northern gate of Linyi County. It has a very important strategic position. Moreover, Fei County is surrounded by plains, with many rivers and sufficient water sources. It is also an important grain production area in Langya County.

According to the tactics discussed by Zhang Xuan with Pei Renji in advance, Zhang Xuan was responsible for seizing Fei County, and the army suppressed Sun Xuanya from Linyi County, making Sun Xuanya unable to rescue Wang Bo's army. Pei Renji led the main Feiying Army and Wang Bo's army to fight to the decisive battle.

As long as Pei Renji defeated Wang Bo's army, he would continue to go south to join Zhang Xuan, and both sides attacked Linyi from left to right, defeating Sun Xuanya's army in one fell swoop.

This is a very beautiful tactic, which requires tacit cooperation between the two armies. Now that the first step of the two armies has been achieved, we must start the second step. Pei Renji has stopped moving and waited for Zhang Xuan to conquer Fei County.

Fei County is also a large county. The population of the county is more than 6,000 households and 30,000 people. The city is about twenty miles in circumference. The city walls are tall and strong. Due to the rich area and large population, and its strategic position is important, Sun Xuanya also attaches great importance to Fei County's defense. He ordered his confidant general Chen Haishi to lead 10,000 elite troops to station in the city.

At this time, Sun Xuanya had already received the news that the Sui army sent troops to Langya County. He was very nervous and ordered Chen Haishi to stay in Fei County and not allow him to fight to face the enemy. "Even if there are only one hundred soldiers on the other side, he is not allowed to fight!" Sun Xuanya issued a death order.

Chen Haishi also fully implemented the lord's order, closing the city gates and not allowing anyone to enter and exit.

That morning, Zhang Xuan led a 5,000 army to Fei County and slowly stopped three miles away from Fei County. Zhang Xuan immediately ordered camping on the spot.

The soldiers began to build large tents busy. Instead of carrying the camp, they set up spear formations around the camp with 200,000 spears. Spears were inserted diagonally outwards in the soil, and the sharp hair tips formed a large spear forest, making it difficult for the enemy to attack.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan sent more than a hundred cavalry scouts on the periphery to monitor the enemy's every move.

In a forest of about an area of ​​trees not far from the camp, Zhang Xuan and his generals looked at the strong city from afar. The Langya King flag was dancing in the wind on the top of the city. Guards could be seen at every battlement. They held bows and arrows in their hands and were ready to defend without any loopholes.

"General, if the enemy cannot fight to the death, this city will be difficult to capture!"

Yuchi Gong was a little worried that they only carried twenty siege ladders. How could they attack the heavily defended cities? But if they fought a long-term siege battle, they would lose the meaning of attacking Fei County.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Respect and virtue, the way to be a general lies in courage, and the way to be a general lies in planning. Military strategy is clouded, and planning is determined before moving. This is like playing chess. If I don't make arrangements in advance, how dare I move rashly."

Everyone understood what Zhang Xuan meant and said excitedly: "It turns out that the general has been arranged!"

"Otherwise, how dare I agree to Pei Shuai's request and take Fei County first?" Zhang Xuan smiled and said to everyone.

At the intersection of the central crossing of Fei County, there are more than 20 families in the alley, and the innermost is a small house covering an area of ​​about three acres. The owner's surname is Jiang, and he is a businessman who has been traveling around all year round. He entrusted the house to rent out for his brothers and collect some rent.

During this period, other residents in the alley found that a businessman was living in the small house. He took goods to the North Gate area every day and had to come back at night. In addition, there seemed to be no other guests staying in the house.

This businessman was naturally ordered to lurk in Langya County. After leaving Linyi County, he did not return to Beihai County, but hid in Fei County. Because when he entered Langya County, the war had not yet broken out, Fei County's management was very relaxed, so his subordinates used various identities to enter the county town.

During the day, Chen Guang went to the Beimen area to sell silk, which was actually observing the defense deployment of the thief army. At night, he came back to draw pictures. After five or six days of continuous observation, he had already figured out the defense deployment of the Beicheng area.

That morning, the atmosphere in Fei County became obviously tense. All the shops were closed and every household was not allowed to go out. Teams of soldiers rushed around the city to find suspicious people.

In fact, a few days ago, after the news that the Sui army captured Yishui County and Dong'an County came, Fei County closed the city gates and did not allow anyone to enter and exit, and the atmosphere became a little nervous.

Chen Guang no longer set up stalls to sell goods, but patiently waited for the arrival of the main force of the Sui army.

As night fell quietly, Chen Guang walked into the inner hall of the backyard. More than fifty Shen Guang's subordinates were sitting in the inner hall, having supper silently. When they saw the leader coming in, everyone stood up one after another.

Chen Guang smiled at everyone and said, "The atmosphere outside is already very tense. The general has set up a camp outside the North City. The action is tonight. Everyone should try to eat as much as possible. There will be a bloody battle tonight."

Within about 300 steps to the east of the northern city wall of Fei County, a lieutenant led 500 soldiers to defend. They were divided into five teams, each team was responsible for on duty for more than two hours, monitoring outside the city day and night. They did not need a patrol team, each person was responsible for three steps away, observing every move of the Sui army camp outside the city.

As night fell, another team of hundreds of soldiers came to the city to take over the shift. They each entered their posts and stood guard with spears in their hands. After about an hour, their spirits had faded when they first took over the post. The soldiers began to be listless and yawned desperately.

The night was dark and there was no sign of people just a few steps away. At this time, the five soldiers guarding the east wall gave each other a wink. They were naturally Shen Guang's subordinates, and they were also locals in Fei County. They applied to join the army together and were compiled together after spending a little money.

Their mission was to deliver letters and contact the Sui army. At this time, they saw that the time had come, took out a roll of rope that they had prepared, tied one end to the battlement, and threw it down on the other end. One of the soldiers jumped gently on the battlement, climbed the rope like a monkey and sank quickly, sneaked into the moat silently, swam across the wide moat, and soon disappeared into the night.

At this time, it was just at 9 o'clock in the evening, and the Sui army camp was pitch black, and the soldiers all went to bed early, and only a thousand soldiers responsible for defense patrolled the camp.

The light inside the central army tent was still on, and Zhang Xuan stood in front of the map and was discussing the next plan with Fang Xuanling. For Zhang Xuan, it was no longer a big problem to seize Fei County, but he was a little worried about Pei In-ki.

"Are the general worried that Shuai Pei would underestimate the enemy?"

Fang Xuanling could understand Zhang Xuan's worries very well. Although she had not worked with Zhang Xuan for a long time, Fang Xuanling had gradually understood this young lord.

Although he is young, he has a kind of sophistication and maturity that is inconsistent with his age. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has great strategy and far-reaching eyes. He is a talented and stubborn figure. It’s a pity that he is a little different from his background, otherwise his appeal would be extraordinary.

Zhang Hyun sighed, "Because this battle is very important to Bae In-ki, I am worried that he is eager to take credit, but haste will not achieve it."

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said, "Pei Shuai is a very cautious person. Although he is a little stubborn, he will not be in a hurry to seek credit. In fact, what his subordinates are worried about is that he will despise the general."

"Shad despise me?" Zhang Xuan was a little puzzled, "How do you say this?"

"As people get older, they are prone to commit common problems among the elderly, that is, they are despised by the younger generation and young people. Especially when the general has not been in the army for a long time, how could Pei Shuai be convinced by the general? He cooperated with the general because he needed the general's army's assistance, but in fact, he despised the general very much in his bones."

Zhang Xuan asked silently: "What will happen if he despises me?"

"He will not obey the general's advice, nor will he adopt the general's advice. He will only fight according to his own plan. The general advises him to be careful of Wang Bo. Will he really take it seriously?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that I need to write a letter to Qin Qiong. He may not believe me, but he should believe Qin Qiong."

"This is a solution!"

As the two were talking, a soldier reported in the big tent: "Report to General, General Shen sent his troops to contact him."

Zhang Xuan was excited and quickly ordered: "Take him in!"

After a moment, the soldiers brought in a young soldier in a thief uniform.
Chapter completed!
