"It seems that there has been a war here?" When Wei Yan arrived at Chengfu, he came all the way from Qiao County. Chengfu City had already been taken over by the Wei army. Looking at the vigilant appearance of the Wei army in the direction of the city wall, Wei Yan frowned.

"General, according to the latest news from the Right Prime Minister, Chengfu should be the place where the Wei army stationed grain. Could it be that General Liu has seen through and attacked?" asked the accompanying general.

"Send people to investigate around you, where is the main force of the Wei army?" Wei Yan did not make a judgment immediately. Although he had this idea, he believed that what he saw was that just a city that had just passed the war not long ago could not explain any problem, and it was also necessary for the Wei army to be fooled.

"Here!" A soldier immediately went to inquire, and Wei Yan sent a large number of scouts to explore the horse.

The terrain of this area is flat and is generally difficult to encounter ambush, but it cannot be taken lightly. The yellow terrain is not complicated. Wasn't it almost wiped out by Sima Yi's flood?

Although the water nets in this area are not deep, they are in line with the old saying: Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. After seeing the nearby terrain, the first thing Wei Yan did was to send scouts upstream along the rivers to see if there were any traces of ambush or manual excavation.

As for the defenders in the city, as long as they did not come out to provoke him, Wei Yan was not prepared to attack the city immediately. Instead, after initially determining the safety, he ordered the camp to be established.

"General~" It was almost evening when several provocates and scouts returned and reported to Wei Yan.

"How?" Wei Yan asked quickly.

"It has been found out clearly. A few days ago, a Han army attacked Chengfu. If it weren't for a heavy snow, Chengfu would have been burned out at this moment. The Wei army general Xiahou Xuan trapped him and died of Chengfu. The fire burned for a long time. After that, the Wei army came here and pulled away a large amount of food and grass." The scout team responsible for integrating information bowed to Wei Yan.

"Where is the main force of the Wei army now?" Wei Yan asked hurriedly.

It seems that it has been successful, and Chengfu has no food now and has no value to capture.

"It has not been discovered. It is said that the army was heading west a few days ago. When Beizheng led people to investigate, he saw wolf smoke in the southwest. It should be the wolf smoke in our army." The team leader bowed and said.

"This is going to the southwest..." Wei Yan took out the map and followed the map to see: "Song County, Xinyang and... Qiutou?"

Qiutou is where Liu Cheng is stationed, which means that the wolf smoke is probably released by Liu Cheng, but Qiutou is more than a hundred miles away. How can it be seen from the distance between you?

"Carefully investigate, where is the wolf smoke released? If it is the soldiers in our army, bring it!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

"Here!" The team leader agreed and immediately arranged another siege to look for it in the direction of the wolf smoke.

"General, it's dark in the night, let's go and rest." Seeing that the sky was dark, the deputy general came to Wei Yan and bowed.

"Cao Shuang's army must have been attacking Zixin, and sent our military orders to set off overnight, heading towards Qiutou!" Wei Yan shook his head. Regardless of whether the wolf smoke was released by Liu Cheng, it was possible to guess that Cao Shuang's army would attack Liu Cheng. Even Wei Yan could understand why Cao Shuang did this. The food and grass were burned. At this time, he was betting on it, obviously trying to open a gap. This gap did not refer to the encirclement of troops. In fact, there were basically no dangerous barriers to defend in the Central Plains. Although Liu Cheng, Pang Tong and Wei Yan surrounded each other in three directions, if Cao Shuang wanted to leave, he could not stop him. Unless the two sides gathered troops and horses to fight, it can be seen from the fact that Liu Cheng and Pang Tong established the camp and were fifty or sixty miles away from Cao Shuang's camp, Liu Cheng and Pang Tong had no intention of killing Cao Shuang at all, but forced Cao Shuang to retreat by themselves.

Cao Shuang obviously understood this truth, so he chose to break the road first after the food and grass was burned and he could not continue to fight, so he chose to break the road first to reduce the pressure of the next battle, and would not have the reputation of a defeated general. Even if he was defeated, he could quickly recruit troops in this Central Plains. But if he ran away in shame, it would be difficult to recruit troops quickly with the current situation of both sides.

When he was in a different place, Wei Yan thought that if he had changed himself, he would have made the same choice. He would defeat Liu Cheng at any cost, and he would not even need to defeat him, he just needed to repel him.

Since it was nearby, how could Wei Yan make Cao Shuang come true? The only uncertainty now is how the war on the front line was fought.

At about the time of the day, the explorer sent back with several Han soldiers.

"You are..." Wei Yan looked at these people and asked calmly.

"General, I am the general under General Liu, and I am ordered to be responsible for the communication here!" The general bowed and showed his token.

"Oh?" Wei Yan took the token, but did not relax completely. He just frowned and said, "How to communicate?"

"On that day, General Liu calculated that the bandits would attack with all his might, so he led his men to the east of the city and hide every twenty miles. If General Liu emitted wolf smoke and beacon fire, he would immediately respond with beacon fire and wolf smoke to guide reinforcements from all sides!" The general of the tun said in a deep voice.

Wei Yan nodded. He did not doubt that Liu Cheng could accurately understand Cao Shuang's plan. After all, Liu Yi's son was a bit evil in his wisdom.

"How is the battle now?" After asking a few more questions, Wei Yan put down his suspicion and looked at the general and said.

"The Wei army has 200,000 troops besieged Qiutou. The outer city set up by the general has been broken. Now they are fighting desperately with the enemy in the inner city. In terms of the situation, the scouts under the last general dare not approach the battlefield. Those Cao troops are crazy and killing their own people is more fierce than killing the enemy!" The general said in a deep voice. In addition to contacting all parties to help the soldiers, they have another task to investigate the enemy situation and tell the enemy's intelligence to the rescue troops. As for how to fight, it depends on how the aid generals arranged it.

"Kill yourself?" Wei Yan frowned when he heard this, and then realized that Cao Shuang was trying to defeat Liu Cheng in the shortest time at all costs.

However, after three days of killing such an army, my morale is probably on the verge of collapse, right?

Wei Yan sat on the horse's back and looked at the deputy general beside him and said, "How far is it from the head of the hill now?"

"The general should be about a hundred miles away!" The deputy general bowed and said.

"Let's go fifty miles and then set up a camp to rest. Keep rushing tomorrow night. The next day, we will arrive at Qiutou before dawn and immediately enter the battlefield!" Wei Yan said with a cold expression.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Cao Shuang can suppress the morale of the army, this Wei army may have reached the verge of collapse. If he suddenly attacks, he may immediately defeat the Wei army!

If so, whether the Central Plains can attack as soon as possible depends on this battle!

After figuring out this joint, Wei Yan's eyes shone brightly and immediately ordered the three armies to marches intensified their marches. When the next morning was at noon, Wei Yan ordered the soldiers of the three armies to find a place to rest until they marched again at night.

...

"Brother An Guo!" Qiu Tou, Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Wei army who was still fighting one after another.

Guan Xing looked at Liu Cheng and said in a muffled voice: "The last one is here!"

He was forced to faint by Liu Cheng yesterday and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until this afternoon. This made Guan Xing feel embarrassed. This little brat grew up by himself. Now he treats him like this and does not feel nostalgic about his old love. This makes him want to beat Liu Cheng up.

However, this awakening also restored Guan Xing's mental state very well. After calming down, he also understood that Liu Cheng's actions were right, but this method was unacceptable.

"The Wei army is about to collapse!" Liu Cheng looked at the Wei army like a tide under the city, and the most important thing was the supervisory team in the rear.

The supervising team is also a human being. They are constantly killing their own robes. There may be many of them who are familiar with and even relatives and friends. Even if the danger is small, they are suffering psychologically. Cao Shuang has some ability to keep suppressing and not burst out. However, no matter how powerful he is, he has almost exhausted it. Today's Wei army's formation is particularly chaotic. This kind of thing can't deceive Liu Cheng. It can be sure that the Wei army has really reached its limit. Now, as long as there is a slight external force, it can detonate this Wei army, which has been filled with negative emotions. The bombing camp is just the best result and may be even worse.

"Oh?" Guan Xing didn't care about complaining to Liu Cheng in his heart. He was shocked when he heard this. Since he started fighting on the battlefield, this battle was definitely his most afflicting battle. Now it seems that he is finally going to take the initiative to attack? He looked at Liu Cheng and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Order five thousand elite soldiers, eat and drink, have a good sleep. When the morning comes tomorrow, open the city to counterattack, remember..." Liu Cheng pointed to the direction of the supervisor team: "The front-line combatants can ignore it for the time being, and gather troops to attack the supervisor team first."

"Here!" Guan Xing's face did not hide his excitement when he heard this, and agreed, turned around and left.

"I have to work hard to stay at the city tonight!" Liu Cheng looked at everyone again and intervened and said.

"Don't worry, General!" Liao Hua, Zhang Yi smiled loudly when he heard this, "It's only one night, we can hold on, so the general will go and rest."

"No!" Liu Cheng silently straightened his helmet and said, "This victory has come out. I will stay here and spend tonight with all the generals!"

The Wei army's attack slowed down significantly at night, and Liu Cheng was not in a hurry and waited until Chen Shi.

Before dawn, the consensus of the Wei army was once again caused by the Han army. Just as the Wei army soldiers were mechanically preparing for the next attack, the city gate that had been closed suddenly opened and the thick suspension bridge fell. Guan Xing led 5,000 cavalry to run out. Many people didn't even react and were torn a huge crack by the Han army rushing toward him. Guan Xing did not fight with these people, and led the troops to directly kill the Wei army and headed straight to the supervisory team in the rear.
