Chapter 64: Zhao Xin Dians the Soldiers

At night, in the Western Army camp, all the generals surrounded the map. Zhao Xin held a small stick in his hand and pointed at the map.

"Report to the marshal, there are some changes in the enemy camp." At this time, a scout broke in and said.

"Say, what are the abnormal movements?" Zhao Xin didn't raise his head, but just said coldly.

"Half an hour ago, an enemy army left the camp and headed west. Because the night was too dark, it was impossible to clearly identify how many people were, but the enemy was very active, with an estimated tens of thousands of people." The scout said.

"General Zhao, the enemy wants to divide the troops. If the last general is not wrong, Han Qing must be worried that our army will send troops to cut off its retreat and send troops to protect his defense." Zhou Shen, as the deputy commander of the Western Army, frowned.

After hearing this, Zhao Xin turned around the map a few times, then pointed at the small stick in his hand and said, "If I guessed it right, this enemy army should have gone here."

"Fengxian?" Everyone followed the point Zhao Xin pointed to and found that the words Fengxian were written on it.

"That's right, it's Fengxian." Zhao Xin affirmed: "In the north of Peixian, only Fengxian and Peixian can be considered strong, and the two cities, one east and one west, form a corner to protect the entire Peixian. Now the enemy's base camp is in Peixian. In order to protect Peixian, he must set up heavy troops in Fengxian, otherwise once our army divided its troops to raid Fengxian, Peixian would be in danger."

"Then Marshal, what should we do?" asked another deputy general, Pang Kuo.

Zhao Xin said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to Fengxian to investigate. I will know how many people there are in this enemy army and who is the chief general."

"Here!"

Early the next morning, in the Western Army camp, countless scouts went to Fengxian with horses.

Two days later, the scout came back to inquire about the situation in Fengxian County.

"Marshal, we followed the footprints left by the enemy and finally caught up with the enemy's large army. This enemy army had about 100,000, all wearing Deng's uniforms. The head general's surname was Yue. We followed us all the way until he entered Fengxian and returned." The scout said.

"It's really Fengxian!" Everyone thought to themselves.

"Secret of Yue? Could it be him?" Zhou Shen frowned, thinking.

"General Zhou knows this person?" Everyone asked when they saw that Zhou Shen seemed to guess who it was.

Zhou Shen took a deep breath and said, "If I guess correctly, Yue Fei, a famous general of Deng Kingdom."

"Yue Fei?" Zhao Xin whispered this name, suddenly thought of something, and said, "General Zhou, are you saying this person Yue Fei who defeated General Fan Yi eight years ago?" Zhao Xin didn't know much about Yue Fei, but he had heard of it, but Zhao Xin didn't care. Since Yue Fei debuted, he has fought too few big battles. In the battle with Fan Yi, there are many tricks, and it is impossible to see Yue Fei's strength at all. As for destroying Jing, it would be even simpler. If Yue Fei had only such strength, Zhao Xin would not be worried at all.

Zhou Shen nodded and said, "That's right, it should be him. It's really a narrow road. Eight years ago, I thought I'd met him for a while. I didn't expect that this time I finally had a chance. Marshal, the last general, asked to lead his troops to attack Fengxian." Eight years ago, Fan Yi was defeated by Yue Fei at the city of Wuguan and was forced to commit suicide to his country. Zhou Shen asked the King of Han to lead his troops to attack Deng and avenge Fan Yi and all the soldiers who died in Han army. However, the Han State had just suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy losses. It was really not suitable to fight again, so he gave up.

Although Zhou Shen had no chance to avenge Fan Yi at that time, this incident had been under Zhou Shen's heart. He and Fan Yi were called the three generals of the Han Dynasty and had always had a good relationship. Moreover, Fan Yi was older than Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen always regarded Fan Yi as his elder brother and respected him very much. Now he finally had the chance to avenge Fan Yi. Zhou Shen asked Zhao Xin for his order to attack Fengxian without thinking.

Zhao Xin frowned, thought for a long time, and then said, "Since that's the case, then General Zhou will lead his troops to transfer the Song army to General Zhou, with General Zhou as the main general, and General Li Jiqian as the deputy general, and went to attack Fengxian. Remember, there is no need to attack forcefully. Fengxian is just one of the goals of our army, not the only one, and there is no need to spend too much energy in Fengxian."

"Here!" Zhou Shen and Li Jiqian responded.

After Zhou Shen and Li Jiqian left, Zhao Xin looked at the map and said, "Han Qing divided the troops in Fengxian because he was afraid that our army would cut off its retreat. However, I heard that the Deng army was also good at cutting off the enemy's food route and retreat. When he fought with the Han State, it was because the Deng army raided Wuguan that the entire Han army was wiped out. I had to guard against it. The general planned to divide a group of troops, without more than 50,000 people, and went to the east city to prevent the enemy from raiding the east, and drove straight into the rear of our army. General Pang, you will send people to garrison here." The east is the territory of the Wei State, and Zhao Xin planned to hand it over to the Wei army to defend.

"Yes, Sima Song, Chen Feng obeyed the order." Pang Kuo ordered immediately.

"The last one is here!" Sima Song and Chen Feng responded.

"I ordered you and the other two to lead 50,000 troops to guard the east and guard the enemy, and there must be no mistakes!" Pang Kuo said.

"Here!"

After Sima Song and Chen Feng left, Zhao Xin said to everyone: "Now it depends on whether General Zhou Shen can defeat Yue Fei and capture Feng County. Once General Zhou Shen defeats Yue Fei, our army will bypass the enemy's camp and attack Peicheng. If General Zhou Shen cannot defeat Yue Fei, then we can only spread the front line. At that time, the battlefield will no longer be limited to Pei County. I am afraid it will involve the entire Central Plains. I hope you and I will work together for the final victory."

"Our army will win!" said everyone.

At the head of Fengxian County, Yue Fei and his generals were strengthening the city defense.

"General Yue, why are you so sure that the enemy will definitely come to attack Fengxian? You must know that the news that our 100,000 troops are stationed in Fengxian cannot be hidden at all. How could the enemy come to take risks?" Xue Rengui, who was following Yue Fei, was puzzled. Why is Yue Fei so sure that the Western Army will come back to attack Fengxian? You must know that if the 100,000 troops stationed in Fengxian, how many troops would the Western Army have to send.

Yue Fei smiled and said, "Rengui, under normal circumstances, no one would have captured Fengxian, which was guarded by a hundred thousand troops in this situation. But don't forget that the enemy army has troops from the Han Dynasty, and the main general is Zhou Shen, the leader of the three generals of the Han Dynasty. Eight years ago, I led my troops to defeat Fan Yi and wiped out 200,000 Han troops. The Han army hated me to the core. Now I am in Fengxian, why would Zhou Shen not come? Besides, he came to Fengxian just to explore the reality of our army and would not really attack. We must strengthen the city defense to show him and tell him that it is not that simple to take Fengxian."

Xue Rengui is also a smart person. After Yue Fei explained this, he realized it completely and smiled and said, "The general is wise, but he is not as good as the general."
