It can be said that Xu Bufan and Guan Zhan had already thought of going together. They both planned to attack the rear of the United forces. However, they did not mean to join hands. On the contrary, they were still suspicious of each other.

Xu Bufan immediately realized that the fighters were coming. When the Allied forces attacked the capital, he had a good opportunity to cooperate with the garrison inside and outside the capital city. However, he still had a little worry, that is, the war of customs.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must be ahead of the war.

Xu Bufan planned to lead the Huaning garrison to fight with the United forces before the war. This was also the case in Tongcheng. He also wanted to defeat the enemy before Xu Bufan.

The two men have a good understanding of each other. If they can work together and fight in one place, the situation of the United Army is really very dangerous. But at this time, Kong Qing's strategy played a role, and the discord between Xu Bufan and the war of Guan also foreshadowed their tragic defeat.

After arriving in Xitang, the Allied forces bypassed Huaning and arrived in Xitang. They set up a decisive battle around the city and surrounded the huge city of Xitang.

However, the imperial court of the Zhen kingdom was not nervous about the sudden arrival of the United forces, but felt that it saw the hope of victory.

After all, Xitang is not an isolated city now. There are two strong reinforcements in the vicinity, namely, Huaning and Tongcheng. The United forces have set up villages around the city, dispersing millions of troops. Once the reinforcements from Huaning and Tongcheng are killed, they will cooperate with the garrison inside and outside the capital city, so we can not worry about the failure of the United forces.

Hua Ning side first learned that the United forces besieged Xitang news, Xu Bufan secretly said a God help me! He immediately decided to lead the army out of the city and attack the camp of the United forces.

Gao Gang, deputy general of the Hua Ning army, stopped him and advised him not to act rashly. It is not too late to make a decision after seeing the situation clearly.

Takaoka's view is right. Xitang is the capital of the state of Zhen. The city defense is far from comparable to other cities. It is not too strong to describe it as solid as gold. No matter how many coalition forces are, they can not defeat Xitang for a moment and a half.

However, they had to defend themselves against the encirclement of the United forces. With the help of the people in the city, the Huaning army can still withstand the attack of the United Army by relying on the city defense. However, when it is out of the city, without the help of the people, it will fight with the United Army in the plain, and the disadvantage of insufficient strength will be eliminated. So Takaoka means that when the coalition forces and the capital garrison are in a state of stalemate, if they send troops again, they will be able to fight the exhausted division in full swing and win easily.

Where can Xu Bufan listen to Gao Gang's persuasion? Now he is full of thoughts about how to win the war and defeat the United forces before the war. He can wait, but can he wait for the war in Tongcheng?

As for Gao Gang's persuasion, he sneered and said coldly: "in my general's eyes, the United Army is a group of rabble people, and we will not send troops until the United Army becomes a tired division. Isn't it laughable that people will laugh off their big teeth?"

Oh! Takaoka sighed secretly. Is face more important than the success or failure of a war? Is the life and death of more than 100000 officers and men no more than a face? However, he did not dare to question him face to face. After pondering for a long time, he advised: "the United forces are acting abnormally. In view of the situation of the coalition forces, there is no need to take any risks and rush forward directly to take the capital city. At the end of the day, he will worry that there will be fraud in it. If the general insists on sending troops, he should also prophesy that he will go through the city and join forces with the general to send troops."

The reason why Xu Bufan was so eager to send troops was that he wanted to catch up before the war. Now Gao Gang told him to inform Tongcheng and join forces to send troops. His nose was almost crooked. As the saying goes, with half a sentence, Xu Bufan angrily retreated Gao Gang and repeatedly waved: "go, go, go! If you are afraid to fight, you should stay in the city and guard your home. As for the words that prevent me from sending out troops, don't say any more, or you will not be blamed for disturbing the morale of the army! "

In a word, Gao Gang lost his words. The latter sighed in his heart, shook his head slightly, arched his hands and stepped back two steps, no longer persuading him. Now he can only pray in silence that the advance of the coalition forces is a mistake, not a plan.

Ignoring Gaogang's advice, Xu Bufan led the garrison soldiers, a total of 150000 people, to leave Huaning and head for Xitang.

His action is really faster than Tongcheng. First, he got the news first. Second, Huaning is closer to Xitang than Tongcheng.

Although the Allied forces went west to besiege Xitang, they left a large number of scouts here in Huaning. As soon as the garrison of Huaning came out of the city, they were discovered by the scouts and sent the news back to the Allied camp at the first time.

After receiving the information, Tang Yin couldn't help but look up and smile. Xu Bufan was indeed a brave and unscrupulous man. He did not join hands with Tongcheng, but rashly came here. If he could not annihilate it in one fell swoop, he would be very sorry for the good fighter in front of him.

He immediately summoned the generals to discuss military affairs. The generals of Feng, Yu, an, Huan and Zhen gathered together to fill the huge accounts of the Chinese army.

After all the generals arrived in Qi Dynasty, Tang Yin took the lead and said, "Xu Bufan, the general of Huaning, has already caught our army's plan. With the information just obtained, Xu Bufan personally leads the main force of Zhen army to attack our army's joint operation. Thanks to general Kong Qing's ingenious plan, he has successfully led the garrison of Huaning out."

Kong Qing said calmly, "the king flatters you."

There was no joy or pride on his face. After all, it was the Zhen army and his brothers in law who were caught in the scheme. He knew very well that in the next battle, the Zhen army would suffer heavy casualties, but in order to save the country, he had to sacrifice some people.Tang Yin took a deep look at him with bright eyes. He gave him a leisurely smile and stopped talking about it. Then he looked around the generals and asked, "which general is willing to meet the Zhen army?"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately went on: "what I want is not an ordinary small victory, but a complete victory. I want to wipe out the main force of the enemy army and come back to me with Xu Bufan's head!"

There were many generals eager to try, but after listening to his subsequent supplement, they immediately withdrew.

Even if the Zhen army's combat power is there, even if it is confronted head-on, and even if its own forces can be several times that of the enemy, it is not easy to annihilate the 100, 000 Zhen army.

There was silence in the Chinese army tent. Tang Yin looked around, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "why? Of the more than 100 generals of our army, no one dares to meet the Zhen army who has left the city? "

At this time, only listening to the sound of armor, Shangguan yuan stepped out of the line and came to the tent to salute him. He said in a loud voice: "king, the last general will lead his army to fight, not to behead Xu Bufan's neck, and not to return to the camp!"

Then, Xiao MuQing also came out and said, "king, the last general is willing to lead his troops to follow yuan and let the general go with him!"

At the critical moment, we have to rely on our own brothers! He nodded and said, "good! Mu Qing and Yuan rang, with MuQing as the main force and Yuan rang as the auxiliary force, led the headquarters of the plain army to meet the enemy. In addition, I transferred 200000 troops from the three armies of Yu, an and Huan, and handed them over to you for command. Three Wang brothers and sisters, do you have no objection? "

Finally, he asked about the three people around him: lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin. How can the three of them disagree? No one of his subordinates dare to come forward and take the initiative to ask for help. It is also a matter of course to obey the orders of the general.

They all shook their heads and said with a smile, "brother Wang is the master."

Tang Yin nodded and said, "since brother Wang and sister Wang are not against it, you two should go and order soldiers quickly! If you don't mention your own head first, then you can say it

"I will obey you." Xiao MuQing and Shangguan yuan let them step in and salute. Without a second word, they tossed the zhengpao and turned their heads and left.

Out of the account of the Chinese army, shangguanyuan made his face excited and eager to try.

Since the battle of entering Zhen, the United forces have not had a few frontal confrontations. All the way, they have been attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold. Now it is rare to have a direct confrontation with the enemy. Shangguan yuanrang also intends to show his skill.

He said to Xiao MuQing, "MuQing, you and I are going to order troops now. The whole army does not take any baggage, but only takes rations. If we march at full speed, it is estimated that we will meet the Zhen army tonight."

Xiao MuQing was happy and said, "Yuan rang is going to fight a narrow battle with Zhen army?"

"Of course Shangguan yuan rang listened to his strange question and asked, "don't you want to fight the enemy directly? Did you think of any more tricks? "

Shangguan yuanrang and Xiao MuQing did not cooperate with each other many times, but he also knew that his style was just one side of him. On the other hand, he was crafty and cunning, and he was good at using tricks.

Xiao MuQing said with a wry smile: "the king gave you an army of 300000 soldiers, but apart from the plain army, can yuan rang trust the other 200000 soldiers?"

Shangguan yuanrang sneered and said, "if the fighting power of those 200000 people can be equal to half of that of the plain army, I will be grateful."

Xiao MuQing nodded and said, "yes! So although we have 300000 troops in our hands, our combat effectiveness is not very strong. It is easy to defeat the Zhen army by confronting it head-on, but it is not easy to annihilate them all! "

Hearing this, Shangguan yuan rang also answered with understanding and thought for a while. He asked, "Mu Qing, do you have any good strategies?"

"Ambush on the way, encircle and annihilate it!" Xiao MuQing said with a smile.

"Ambush on the way?" Shangguan Yuan made Wen Yan a little silly. He thought about it and murmured: "if I remember correctly, the road from Huaning to Xitang is plain. There are no mountains, no valleys, no ditches, no grabs, even no woods. Where are we going to set up ambush?"

"Yes! There is no place for ambush between Huaning and Xitang. Therefore, we can only open our pockets a little larger than the Zhen army can detect. " Xiao MuQing confidently said: "of course, if you want to weave such a big pocket, you need help from me and you."

"Eye of heaven and earth net!"
