Thanks to the book friend [Capricorn Water Bottle] for his reward and support. I'm sorry, there is no automatic update for the settings, and I'm not back until now if I have something to do.

...

Zhao Fei pondered all the details, but there was no mistake in his mind. He decided in his heart.

"Okay, it's okay for General Yi not to surrender. Beg for it and have a good meal and drink. When I repel Bian Zhang's army this time, I will let General Yi go back."

Zhao Fei's words not only surprised Zhang Liao and Chen, but even Yi Feng looked at him in surprise.

"Although the position is different, I admire the loyal and upright person like General Yi Feng the most. If General Zhang wants to surrender to the court in the future, General Yi can come at any time. My door is always open for General Yi, so let's take it down," Zhao Fei said with an explanation as he looked at everyone's surprised gaze.

"Your Majesty Yi Feng thanks you for your attention," this is the first sentence Yi Feng said after coming in.

After Yi Feng was pulled down by the soldiers, Zhang Liao and Chen were all looking at Zhao Fei in confusion.

"Sir, Yi Feng is also a capable person. If he is put back, it will increase the power of the rebels," Zhang Liao stepped forward and said.

"Haha, when Bian Zhang's army is repelled this time, the court will definitely send people to quell the rebellion next year. The rebels will definitely be defeated. Zhang and Han Sui are Han people after all. After the failure, there will definitely be a conflict between them and Beigong Boyu. Maybe Zhang will have the intention of surrendering to the court. The fruits planted today will bloom at that time," Zhao Fei explained to everyone.

"But this is too risky. This is a matter for the future. Who knows how it will develop in the future? Although Yi Feng is a talented person, he is not unparalleled in the national ranks. It is not worthy of his own sake," Chen Da stepped forward and persuaded Zhao Fei.

Indeed, if Zhao Fei was not familiar with the subsequent events and Han Sui's nature, he would not have made such a decision for Yi Feng.

Zhao Fei knew that in history, the court would send Huangfu Song to come at the beginning of next spring, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui and others would suffer a defeat. Later, the court would send Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian to come, and the rebels would suffer a defeat one after another.

Han Sui is an absolutely powerful and ambitious person. Even though things will develop in different directions because of Zhao Fei later, Zhao Fei believes that Han Sui's ambition will not change, and he will definitely kill Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, hold the power of the Qiang and Hu coalition alone, and then negotiate conditions with the court to become his King of Xiliang.

Although Yi Feng is not the talent that Zhao Fei is extremely eager for, this investment will be rewarded in one year. Bian Zhang must have some confidants in the army. If Yi Feng escapes and seeks to join him, the elite soldiers who are loyal to Bian Zhang who want to avenge him will definitely follow Yi Feng to defect to Zhao Fei.

Then Zhao Fei made a big profit. After all, now that Yi Feng is released, when the imperial army arrives next year, the Qiang and Hu coalition forces will not have the energy to attack him again.

"Haha, I have decided. Even if Yi Feng doesn't surrender in the future, it's okay. Next year, the court will attack and pacify the rebels in the east. The rebels have no energy to attack us again. Let's go down and rest. By the way, send more scouts to investigate Zhang Daying here. Zhang here comes, and he will not attack the city or retreat. He must have had some plans. Check it out."

Zhao Fei was a little confused about Bian Zhang's actions, but the river in the south was too little. Bian Zhang just wanted to cross the river and never thought about using the river to attack, so Zhao Fei did not guess Bian Zhang's idea.

In the next two days, Bian Zhang's actions made Zhao Fei feel more suspicious. Bian Zhang asked his army to gather outside the east gate of Guanwu County every day, and did not attack the city or take generals in front of the formation. He just beat the drum like this, as if waiting for Zhao Fei to attack.

The scouts sent by Zhao Fei have been fighting with the scouts sent by Bian Zhang. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties. Zhao Fei has not gained any advantage and has never contacted Bian Zhang's camp.

After all, Bian Zhang has broken through so many counties and his weapons are no worse than Zhao Fei. Both sides are soldiers of the Qiang and Hu tribes, and they are almost the same in all aspects.

Zhao Fei also discussed with Zhang Liao and Chen whether to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight Bian Zhang.

During the fight in the past two days, both scouts suffered thousands of injuries. At present, Zhao Fei still has 6,000 soldiers. What’s more important is that there are not many arrow feathers in the court.

There are still 12,000 people on the side of the border, twice as many as Zhao Fei. Although Zhao Fei has powerful generals like Zhang Liao and Chen Dao, the chance of victory on the side of the border is still higher.

At present, the city guarding will definitely not be defeated. Zhao Fei does not want to be greedy for merit, nor does he want to take the army that he finally won over and fight with Bian Zhang.

Therefore, Zhao Fei just sent more scouts, and it is necessary to check clearly what Bian Zhang is doing, and the remaining large troops are still in Guanwu County.

This is exactly what Bian Zhang wants. In the past two days, the dam has been easily built due to the shallow water. The riverbed downstream of the dam has been exposed and there is no river water.

Bian Zhang began to give up and prepare to withdraw his troops, and actually began to let his soldiers cross the river.

Bian Zhang is worthy of being the same as Han Sui. He is familiar with the military and shows signs of withdrawal in disguise. Zhao Fei, Zhang, Liao and Chen are still young men of fifteen or sixteen years old. They have never been to the battlefield several times, so how can we tell that this is pretending.

Bian Zhang left hundreds of people in the camp to make a fool of themselves. After the army crossed the river, he retreated the dam and used the sound of drums and horse hooves to cover up the sound of the river rushing down.

Zhao Fei just wanted to let Bian Zhang retreat. When the situation in the court is good next year, he will take the opportunity to make some military achievements.

Now that he has received news, Bian Zhang is going to withdraw his troops, he doesn't want to take risks, and is worried that Bian Zhang will set up a trap and wait for ambush him, and dare not pursue him.

Zhao Fei thought Bian Zhang deliberately withdrew his troops and lured him out of the city to fight, so he stopped moving, but sent more scouts to investigate Bian Zhang's news.

Of course, the Guangguang Scout couldn't find out anything. Zhao Fei breathed a sigh of relief in Guanwu County, preparing to go through this chaotic world for the first Spring Festival.

Zhao Fei did not expect that on the other side of the river south, Bian Zhang's army had already quietly crossed Guanwu County in the dark and rushed towards Zhaowu County.

In the lobby of Guanwu County Government Office, Zhao Fei sat in the main seat and his personal soldiers came in to report, "Sir, Lord Shangguan asked for a visit."

Shangguan Yunche, Zhao Fei was handling military affairs at this time. He was treated with wounded soldiers these days, rewarded merits and punished soldiers who violated military discipline. These things were handled by Zhao Fei and he was very busy.

Of course, these things can be left to Zhang Liao and Chen Dao, but Zhao Fei just wanted to train himself. After all, Zhang Liao's loyalty is also full, which is absolutely trustworthy. But there will be no such many peerless treasures like sweat-blooded BMWs in the future, and it is impossible for every subordinate to be 100% loyal.

"Please come in quickly," Zhao Fei said without raising his head, busy with the affairs in his hands, and lowered his head and said.

Shangguan Yunche came in in panic, which surprised Zhao Fei. He stopped the matter and looked up at Shangguan Yunche.

"Sir, the big thing is wrong. I'm afraid the rebels have rushed towards Zhaowu County."

Shangguan Yunche said anxiously that there were many wounded soldiers in the army, and he came to transport medicinal materials and doctors.

"Yun Che is talking about Bian Zhang's army? Is this true?" Zhao Fei also changed his face after hearing Shangguan Yunche's words.

"I came into the city from the west gate and found that the frozen ice layer on the river surface was loose. I felt very strange. I sent someone to the south gate to take a look and found that there were many cracks in the ice layer there. If I was not mistaken, I am afraid that Zhang blocked the river downstream and walked across the river directly from the dry riverbed, and headed towards Zhaowu County."

This Guanwu County was built on the riverside, and the moat outside the city was brought to the nearby river.

If Zhao Fei was really as follows what Shangguan Yunche said, he was not a stupid person. When Zhaowu County changed hands and all the families of the soldiers in the army fell into Bian Zhang's hands, there would be no need to fight this battle.

"Brother Bao, you send someone to ask Long Xing to lead 500 people, follow the river and check all the way down. If you find that the ice on the river is gone, come back and tell me immediately," Zhao Fei said to Bao Yan next to him.

"Yun Che, how many troops are there in Zhaowu County?" Zhao Fei continued to ask Shangguan Yunche.

"At present, General Zigo is guarding the city there, with 500 people under his command, and the number is too small. Moreover, he does not know that Bian Zhang's army may attack Zhaowu County, so he must not be more prepared," Shangguan Yunche said anxiously.

"I can't wait for Long Xing to reply to the news. Let all the generals come here immediately. The situation is urgent, let them come immediately," Zhao Fei said to the personal soldiers outside the door.

Zhang Liao and Chen Dao were all training soldiers and rectifying the army. Zhao Fei sent people to call them, and they arrived soon.

Listening to Shangguan Yunche's guess, everyone became anxious, which was indeed very likely.

"It's best that's not the case. Before waiting for news from Long Xing, Wenyuan, you and Shuzhi ordered three thousand troops to Zhaowu County together, and sent a few smart men, one man and three horses to Zhaowu County without resting overnight. Be sure to convey the news and let Qi Ge be careful. Bian Zhang withdraw his troops only one day. If they really go to Zhaowu County, it should be too late. If Bian Zhang did not go and he did withdraw his troops, then just treat this as an emergency marching training," Zhao Fei stopped listening to his subordinates one by one at this critical moment, and immediately ordered decisively.

"Yes, my subordinates will receive the order," Zhang Liao and Chen Dao stood up together, took Zhao Fei's tiger talisman, and after greeting Zhao Fei, they left the government office together, preparing to order troops out of the city.

This talisman of the army has only recently started to be used. Zhao Fei wanted to determine all the military rules and regulations, and slowly form his subordinates into a real army.

"Yun Che, if Bian Zhangzhen crosses the river this time and goes to Zhaowu County, then Yun Che is the first achievement. Yun Che will not go back. Stay with me in the future and help me plan something." Zhao Fei arranged all the strategies he should deal with. Now he can only listen to his subordinates' reports. After calculating, he felt relieved when Shanghai had time and smiled at Shangguan Yunche.

"Sir, you are so polite. This is what my subordinates should do," Shangguan Yunche was very excited. He proved his ability this time and obviously felt that Zhao Fei valued him more.

Zhao Fei stared at Shangguan Yunche's attributes, the second level of ghost strategy. As soon as he came to Guanwu County, he discovered something wrong. The small matter of the crack of the ice layer on the river surface could infer that the enemy might have planned. This ghost strategy is really so powerful?
