"Report to Your Highness! The rebel Bo Cai led the main force of the Baibo army to defend Suiding. Our army's advance was blocked. Qu Commander Han Zhong asked for help!"

"Report to Your Highness! Coach Qu Huang Shao urgently asked for help. Xincheng was occupied by Peng Tuo, deputy commander of Bai Bo's army, and our army could not capture it for a long time!"

"Report to Your Highness! Chenggu urgently! A fire broke out in Chenggu City. The rebel general Du Yuan led his army to take advantage of the chaos to break in. The commander of Qu Zhang Niujiao struggled to break through, and the Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses!"

In less than three hours, battle reports came one after another. The enemy's main force appeared, Xincheng was lost, and Chenggu was defeated! Before Bian Xi left, everyone was shocked in the golden tent. Everything that happened was exactly the same as what Guo Jia had expected just now!

The Hanzhong army began to counterattack, and they withdrew all the people from Shangyong to Hanzhong City. They made a big detour and followed the frozen Han River to the rear of Qinyang. They handed over Qinyang a large barren land. In this cold winter, only cold and hunger were left to Qinyang and his nearly 300,000 troops!

This is a big layout, and this layouter calculates every step of Qin Yang very accurately. The solid walls and clearing the field were just a cover at the beginning, but now it has become the killer weapon against Qin Yang and his army. While Qin Yang was still seeking a decisive battle with the main force of the rebels, a huge net had already opened. The cold became the sharpest weapon, and soon Qin Yang's army would lose all its combat power in front of it. Hanzhong is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the rebels firmly guard several important levels, a huge pocket will be formed, and Qin Yang will not fly!

"Who planned this game?! Vicious and sharp!" Guo Jia's face was a little pale. Although he was a natural military genius, his experience was still a bit lacking. Although he finally saw through the other party's intentions, it was too late.

"How is that possible! There is absolutely no such talent in Hanzhong!" Ma Yuanyi looked at the military map and couldn't believe it. In his impression, the Baibo Army military advisor Guo Baitai and the Black Mountain military advisor Yang Feng, their abilities are still insufficient compared to Ma Yuanyi. How could the calculation be so accurate?!

"It's no point in pursuing who is the plan now. What should we do next?" Qin Yang said. He is not a strategist, nor does he feel like a strategist. He just wants to know how to deal with it now.

Qin Yang's words awakened Guo Jia. He recovered from the initial shock, pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Ning from Hanzhong, Du Yuan from Chenggu, Bo Cai from Suiding, Peng Tuo from Xincheng..., the number is wrong! They lack an army!"

"You mean Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army?" Qin Yang said.

"Not bad! The Black Mountain Army is mainly cavalry and its field strength is above the Baibo Army, but they did not appear in any important place... If I guess it is good, they have no purpose for not appearing!"

"Two?" Qin Yang asked with a flash of eyes when he saw Guo Jia recovering from calmness.

"Yes! Now we have only two roads to go in Hanzhong. First, we will attack Xincheng, Suiding and Chenggu, either to break through the siege or to turn the tide. Among these three places, Peng Tuo, the commander of the Baibo army in Xincheng, was based on the return analysis. The soldiers under us were the elite of the Baibo army's Shenji Camp, with strong bows and crossbows, and there were also death-dead men who were determined to guard it, with a military strength of about 30,000. If you stick to it, no accidents can be made, seven to ten days can ensure that the new city will not be lost."

"Seven days...our food and grass are enough to support!" Qin Yang thought.

"Yes, but Your Highness, don't forget that the Han River after the Xincheng, even if the Xincheng is taken down, our army will only have a temporary rest. As the princes are watching our army's movements, our army will lose troops and lose generals even if we take down the Xincheng, and I'm afraid our strength is less than half as strong as before. I wonder what Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu from Wancheng and Yuan Shu from Runan would make plans? After all, your highness's seal and enthronement have not yet arrived..."

"If our army was defeated and withdrawn from Hanzhong..." Qin Yang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Although Qin Yang had reached an agreement with the empire in Xiangcheng before, since the Hanzhong mutiny, there has been no news about the title of title and the seal of the Hanzhong prefect. During this period, Qin Yang also urged him. After all, if the seal arrives, Qin Yang will be the real prince of the Han Empire, and then the princes from all directions will become their nominal allies.

But at this time, the empire was obviously intending to delay and wait for the outcome of the Battle of Hanzhong. In the eyes of any prince, Qin Yang and his nearly 300,000 troops under his command were a huge piece of fat. If Qin Yang's strength was not damaged, everyone would naturally respect him, but if it was really defeated, it would be no surprise that someone would take advantage of the situation to rob him. The back of the entire army in Xincheng would be completely exposed to their fangs. If someone really took advantage of the situation to rob him under the banner of rescue... it would be better not to move this move.

Guo Jia continued: "Hanzhong City and Chenggu are mutually supportive. There are 30,000 escort troops loyal to the saints in Hanzhong, and 20,000 Xuchang Yellow Turban Army under Du Yuan's command. If we attack the city, both sides will echo each other. Hanzhong and Chenggu are both strong cities, and it is extremely difficult to capture them in a hurry. On the other hand, Bo Cai personally took charge, and there should be about 40,000 troops in the city. If we want to quickly capture our army, we must do our best."

"It's a little difficult, but at least there is hope of conquering it, and there will be no future troubles like the new city." Qin Yang thought to himself.

"Your Highness's clarification, this is exactly what I want to say. Xincheng is just a bait. The rebels hope that we will attack Xincheng to break through. But this is just an open bait. In fact, the 10,000 black cavalry and 40,000 spear infantry under Zhang Yan's command are the real killer moves of the enemy!"

"What does military advisor Guo mean?"

"The Black Mountain Army, which has disappeared out of thin air, will appear when we attack any place and the battle is the most intense. We will break into our backbone and disrupt our army's camp! Then we will cooperate with the army in the city and defeat our army. They are a sharp sword hidden somewhere in Hanzhong!"

Guo Jia's words made the entire camp extremely quiet. Everyone listened to Guo Jia's analysis quietly, and didn't dare to say anything. A total of 50,000 elite soldiers were staring at them in the dark, and everyone felt like they were thorns on their backs.

"What should we do?"

"Find out the Black Mountain Army! Destroy them! Once the Black Mountain Army is destroyed, their big net is only an empty shell!" Guo Jia said firmly.

"Find out the Black Mountain Army?" All generals, including Qin Yang, looked at Guo Jia in disbelief. You know, it is easy to hide an army of 50,000 people in this huge encirclement. How to find it? When the scouts find the place where the Black Mountain Army is, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will starve to death! This is also the case where the scouts are killed directly without being discovered by the enemy.

A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. He was not as worried as Qin Yang and others. He even had a hint of excitement in his heart. After recovering from the initial panic, Guo Jia's feeling of meeting opponents began to make his whole nerves excited. Although the competition between the strategists was not like the face-to-face life and death battles between the generals, they were facing each other in the face of changes in the times and the strange schemes came out one after another, and the game thousands of miles away determined the life and death of millions of people.

"I just said that the Black Mountain Army has two purposes. The first is a erratic sword. Then the second is to prevent our army from withdrawing from another road!"

"Other road? Where else besides the new city?!"

"Of course it is where Peng Tuo's army detours, that is, the Han River! Such a large net, if it is rising in summer, it will be tight and there will be no flaws. But now that the Han River is frozen, they can use the Han River to surround our army, and then our army can cross the Han River and withdraw from Hanzhong or use the frozen Han River as our army's supply line to hold on. In this way, although our army's losses will be heavy, they will never be defeated. Take steady steps, defend Shangyong with sufficient food and supplies, and besiege the new city. Compared with the 30,000 elite soldiers in their new city, our losses can also be obtained!"

"The Han River is frozen and is a double-edged sword. We can think of it, and the rebels will naturally take this into consideration. So I said that the other purpose of the Black Mountain Army is to prevent us from crossing the Han River!"

"Then how can we find the Montenegro?"

"It is not difficult to find the Montenegro Army. Since their purpose is clear, they must also choose a place that is very convenient for whatever they do. I think the place where the Montenegro Army is stationed now is here!"

Everyone's eyes fell heavily with the wooden stick in Guo Jia's hand to an extremely inconspicuous place on the map.

"They actually appeared here?!" Qin Yang's eyes flashed and surprised.

"Not bad! Who would have thought that after leaving Shangyong, the Black Mountain Army did not return to Hanzhong City but ran outside Hanzhong?"
