After Lin Nan took the note, he hurriedly browsed it, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. When he turned his head, he said to the soldier who was delivering the letter: "They will go to the bank of Liuzi River to discuss matters."

After the words came, Lin Nan turned his horse's head, shouted loudly, and rode his horse towards the bank of Liuzi River.

Lin Nan arrived along the Liuzi River and looked at the clear water of the river. There were still swimming fish in the water. He sat by a rock and quietly waited for the arrival of the generals.

About a quarter of an hour later, all the generals of the Yan army arrived. Guo Jia stood beside Lin Nan. Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wei Yan, Pang De, Pin, Chu Yan, and Lu Heng were all surrounded by Lin Nan, but Zhao Yun was not seen.

"Where is Zilong?" Lin Nan looked around and found that Zhao Yun was not there, so he hurriedly asked.

After looking at each other, everyone looked confused.

Lin Nan saw Huang Zhong standing there calmly, without feeling a trace of curiosity, and asked, "Have General Huang ever seen where Zilong went?"

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, Zilong... Zilong is not in good health..."

"No, I saw General Zhao coming just now, and he was not wrong at all. Why did he feel uncomfortable after just a while..." Taishi Ci spoke out loudly. Halfway through speaking, he saw Huang Zhong glaring at him, as if he had made some serious mistakes, so he was stunned and asked, "General Huang, why are you glaring at me?"

"Cough cough cough..." Guo Jia coughed a few times on purpose, then put it in Lin Nan's ear and whispered.

After hearing this, Lin Nan had no expression on his face, but just waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. General Huang, just convey the content of the meeting to him later. Now, the military meeting will begin. First, you can circulate the flying pigeon's letter first."

As he said that, Lin Nan handed the Feige's letter to Guo Jia first. After Guo Jia took it, he immediately showed great joy on his face, and at the same time passed the note to Zhang Liao, who was closest to him.

After the circumcision of the generals, everyone was extremely happy and some were even more restless. Finally, everyone bowed and said, "Please give orders by your lord!"

Lin Nan glanced at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think our army should do now?"

Guo Jia held his chin and thought for a while. Then he said, "Lord, my subordinates think that soldiers are the most important gods. I will immediately fight with the chief military advisor. If the attack between the east and west, the Wei State will be destroyed!"

Lin Nan looked around at the generals present and asked, "What do you mean?"

"We will discuss it!" the generals replied in unison.

Lin Nan stood up from the rock, put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced on the spot. After thinking for a while, he asked: "The fierce battle last night, our army suffered more than 5,000 casualties. Currently, there are 20,000 cavalry near Yuanyong City. Although everyone rested for a night last night, no one got enough sleep. They were still trapped and exhausted... I sent the order and the army rested on site for a day. After Xun You brought reinforcements and food and supplies from Juan County, it would be no longer too late to fight!"

"Lord, we have been delayed for a day last night. Cao Cao must have returned to Niujiatun camp. Now that we have delayed for another day today, it will be difficult to capture Cao Cao again. The last general begs to ask my lord to give me two thousand cavalry. I will lead my army to attack Niujiatun camp. I will definitely capture Cao Cao and present it to my lord." Wei Yan was eager to make a contribution, so he took a step forward and clasped his fists.

"Young and energetic, can't you hold your temper so easily? Our army surrounded him in Yuanyong City on the eve. More than 25,000 people could not catch him. You only have two thousand people. Why should you catch him? Besides, there is a tiger fool around him. Can you beat the tiger fool?" Lin Nan's face darkened and he scolded in public.

Wei Yan hesitated and had no light on his face, not knowing what to say.

Lin Nan looked at Taishi Ci, Pin, Zhang He, Pang De, Chu Yan, Gan Ning, and others. Seeing that their faces were a little arrogant and impetuous, he said loudly: "There is nothing wrong with being competitive, but it depends on where it is used! Now that the war is imminent, it is no longer a matter of just catching Cao Cao. Now, what is placed in front of everyone is a battle to destroy the country. I think you should understand what I mean."

Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Zhang He, Pang De, Pin, Chu Yan, and Wei Yan all looked at each other. They heard it very clearly. This was Lin Nan giving them a vaccination and reminding them not to do anything self-destructive because of their greed for merit. For them, it was a wake-up call, and they immediately woke up several people who were preparing to make a fuss.

Among the few people, Taishici and Zhang He were old opponents, and the two men had been leading troops longer than the others, and had already reached the level of leading a powerful force to conquer cities and territory by themselves. In the Battle of Bingzhou where Lu Bu was eliminated, didn’t Taishici conquer Shangdang alone?

Gan Ning, Pang De and Chu Yan are more brave and less intelligent. Wei Yan and Pin are still too young, so they will inevitably have a competitive atmosphere and are not enough to take on major responsibilities for the time being. This time, Lin Nan is preparing to give them a chance to display their talents, so he said that in advance to appease their anxious hearts.

Due to his own age, Huang Zhong seemed much more steady in his work than others; Zhang Liao was not greedy for merit, was not aggressive, was low-key, talked little, and was highly valued by Lin Nan; Lu Heng was shrewd and followed Lin Nan for the longest time, and was somewhat similar to Lin Nan's behavior; therefore, Lin Nan was not worried about these three people. Of course, Zhao Yun and Lin Nan did not have to worry about them, both wise and brave, and they were brave.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Lord, it's time to have breakfast."

Lin Nan nodded and took Guo Jia away without looking back.

So the generals dispersed.

"Lord, the chief military advisor has taken Qingzhou, Zang Ba has captured Xuzhou, and Han Meng has also captured Changyi. Only Xu Huang has not heard from him yet. Should Fei Ge send a letter to ask?" Guo Jia followed Lin Nan, talking as he walked.

Lin Nandao: "No, I have no doubt about using people. Since I have handed over everything in the west to Xu Huang, I should fully believe him. It's a wonder that he can hide in the Mangshan Mountains for more than half a month in such a difficult environment. If he doesn't send news, it means that he hasn't started to take action yet. Is there any news coming from Bian Xi?"

Guo Jia said: "Not yet."

"Once Bian Xi sends news, come and report to me immediately. The horse retreats to Hulao Pass. If we don't retreat, we will have worries."

"I understand."

Lin Nandao: "Send an order to Xun Chen, ask him to escort the prisoners and retreat to Beixiang, and be responsible for food and grass matters with Chen Dao, and there will be no losses."

"promise!"

...

The Gushan Mountain is located on the north side of Luoyang and the south bank. It is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains and the branch of the Gushan Mountains.

Mangshan is a loess hilly land, a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang and a strategic military location. It stretches more than 300 miles east-west, and it is no problem for hiding 3,000 soldiers.

On Cuiyun Peak, Xu Huang stood at the highest point holding a telescope in his hand and looked around, but saw that there was nothing in the mountain road at the foot of Mangshan Mountain and even a beast could not be seen.

"General Xu...General Xu...General Xu..." Liao Hua ran up from below the hillside, and a great joy appeared on his face.

Xu Huang put down the telescope, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's the Qin army...the Qin army's grain transport team..."

"Oh, where?" Xu Huang raised the telescope again and searched the traces of Qin army from the telescope.

"General Xu, stop watching, I will not lie to you. Zhou Cang is still waiting there. You can bring people down quickly and let us rob this batch of food!" Liao Hua was really anxious. He pulled Xu Huang and ran down.

However, thinking about it, Xu Huang's team had been hiding in the mountains for twenty-three days. The food they brought had already eaten. Because they were afraid of being revealed by the enemy, they did not dare to show up openly across the Yellow River to escort the food and grass on the north bank. Instead, they relied on hunting, fishing, and eating wild fruits. It took them so long to survive. The conditions were so difficult.

Xu Huang was pulled down by Liao Hua, and he hurriedly said, "Yuan Jian, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, where is Wang Jun and Lin Yang?"

"I've been there for ambushing a long time ago, just waiting for the general to come."

As soon as Xu Huang entered Mangshan, he divided the three thousand people into five groups, which reduced his goal. Each of them led 600 soldiers and usually contacted them with carrier pigeons.

He raised his back and went down the hillside, and immediately came to a forest and shouted to the soldiers resting in the woods: "Brothers, we have been waiting for more than half a month. Now we can finally act. Take your weapons and armor, come with me, and fight out of the Mangshan!"

On the mountain road of Mangshan, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang and Wang Jun were ambushing on both sides of the road. In front of him were the rolling stones and wood that had been prepared. Each soldier quietly took out the crossbow and quietly waited for the arrival of the Qin army's grain transport team.

Xu Huang and Liao Hua and the last six hundred people ran over from the hillside on the other side, gathered with Zhou Cang, and saw Lin Yang from afar, Wang Jun was ambushed opposite.

"Is it the Qin army's grain transport team here?" Xu Huang asked hurriedly as soon as he walked to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang nodded and said, "General Xu, the one who came was indeed the Qin army's grain transport team. I saw it with my own eyes. They came from my territory. As soon as I saw them, I immediately informed Wang Jun. Wang Jun also passed by me, and there was no abnormality. After that, he said he wanted to rob the grain and chose to ambush here, and finally let Liao Hua inform you."

Xu Huang said "um" and said, "Since it's Wang Jun's idea, it's definitely not wrong. If it weren't for the fact that Ma Teng brought many people, it was not easy to attack, and he was afraid of alarming the snake, he would definitely not let them go. However, I can't figure out, since the horse has flew away and the horse has lost, why should we transport grain to Hulaoguan? Logically, the horse should have also been returned."

"I don't know, but this grain transport team is only a small group, which is probably a solution to the urgent need. If we rob the grain, the horse will lose food at Hulao Pass, and it will be difficult not to leave." Zhou Cang said.

"Well, this is true..." Xu Huang looked at the terrain here and found that it was a long and narrow area with high and low sides. Moreover, the vegetation on both sides is very dense, so it is not suitable for being discovered and is very suitable for ambushing.

He glanced at Wang Jun opposite him and saw that Wang Jun was making gestures for him. After reading it, he nodded to Wang Jun, with a smile on his face, and thought to himself: "This kid, I'm going with me."

"Zhou Cang. If you bring 600 people, you will be ambushed here. Cooperate with Lin Yang on the opposite side, cut off the enemy's way back and watch my signal action." Xu Huang turned his face and said to Zhou Cang.

"promise!"

"Liao Hua, you can take 600 people to the front, just one mile away from Zhoucang. You can also see my signal action." Xu Huang turned around and said to Liao Hua beside him.

Liao Hua said: "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Hua took 600 people to the front, and Wang Jun on the opposite side had already begun to move and ambushed at the designated location.

Xu Huang himself led 600 people to the front of Liao Hua and Wang Jun, and he stopped a mile away and ambushed in advance.

Soon, the Qin army's grain transport team drove slowly over. Because the road was narrow and only one grain transport truck could walk, the Qin army soldiers advanced forward. One thousand Qin cavalrymen were escorting five hundred trucks of grain and walking slowly on the mountain road.

Xu Huang was observing quietly. Seeing the Qin army's grain transport team approaching, he tightly held the knife in his hand, staring at them like a wolf.

The only one who carried the food and grass was the Sima of the Qin army. The Sima of the army was walking in the front, surrounded by several personal soldiers, complaining all the way, mostly because he didn't like this job and kept scolding his boss.

Suddenly, Xu Huangqing roared. He rushed down the hillside with fifty people, blocking the Qin army's grain transport team, and shouted loudly: "I planted this tree, and I will drive this road to death. If you want to fight this, leave it to buy wealth!"

Xu Huang and others were not wearing the Yan army uniforms. From the moment they entered Mangshan, they had been in this area in the form of bandits. The birthmark on his face made him look no different from the bandits. However, the most important thing was that Xu Huang did not want to reveal his identity. Using the name of bandits to rob is more natural than using the title of Yan army.

The leading Qin army Sima was stunned for a moment. When he saw that Xu Huang had only fifty people, he laughed and said sternly: "A bastard, just fifty people, I want to learn from bandits to rob? I think you don't want to survive, do you know whose food and grass is this? It's His Highness of the King of Qin. You know what you know. You should go away quickly. If you are really hungry, go to Hongnong to join the army. There is a place to recruit soldiers and warriors, and you will be able to have a full meal..."

When Xu Huang heard that Sima Luoli was talking, he couldn't bear to listen. He still stumbled against 1,000 people, and was ambushed. This was simply a chance of winning, and immediately blew the whistle again.

As soon as the whistle fell, Liao Hua and Wang Jun suddenly appeared from the Qin army's grain transport team. Zhou Cang and Lin Yang pushed the stones down to block the retreat. Xu Huang's subordinates also ran out, with a total of 3,000 people, blocking the Qin army's grain transport team of 1,000 people firmly inside.

When the army Sima saw this formation, he was immediately panicked and could not even control his dismount and almost fell off his horse. Not only him, but also the entire Qin army soldiers were frightened by this formation. They knew very well about this area. The entire capital has been desolate for several years. He had never heard of any bandits. He could not even see a figure in his figure. Today, so many people suddenly appeared, and they were all holding weapons. The weapons were even more sophisticated than they held. It would be strange if they were not panic.

"Put down your weapons! Surrender and don't kill!" Xu Huang appeared early in the morning. This Qin army was just a messy army. Seeing that everyone was so scared, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Put down your weapons, surrender and don't kill..." Then, all the soldiers of the Yan army shouted in unison, and the shouts rang throughout the valley, deafening.

This group of people joined the army for a meal, and had never fought a war. After hearing the shouts of the Yan army, many people took the initiative to put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Others were also driven, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and in just a moment, a thousand people fell to the ground.

The leading army Sima kept shouting, begging for mercy louder than anyone else. The arrogant and arrogant expression just now had long disappeared. As long as he could survive, it was more important than anything else.

Many Yan soldiers were discouraged when they saw this scene. They thought they could fight one day, but they didn't know that they would encounter this fool. After just a few screams, they immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.

Next, the Yan army easily took over the weapons, horses and the food and grass they carried, and transported them to Cuiyun Peak in Mangshan, and carried a thousand prisoners up the hillside.

At noon, the Yan soldiers who hadn't had a full meal for a long time had a full meal today, and the Qin army transported wine. Xu Huang asked everyone to drink it.

After drinking and eating, Xu Huang sat under a big tree, walked to the captured military Sima, and asked, "I ask you, where did you transport this batch of food and grass to death?"

The army Sima replied: "I was escorted to Hulao Pass, and His Highness the King of Qin is still there."

Xu Huang's eyes rolled. He laughed, patted the Jun Sima on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother, what did you do before?"

"General Qibing, I am a farmer."

"Oh, look at your riding horse, you're just learning how to ride a horse, right?"

"The general is so wise. I have just learned how to ride a horse for less than three days."

Xu Huang said: "Depending on your appearance, your skills should not be very good. But why did you become a military Sima?"

Seeing that Xu Huang was asking questions at this moment, his tone was very kind, not as fierce as before, and even gave him some wine, he was a little grateful, and replied, "To be honest, these people are from my hometown. There was a famine in the village, so I took them to join the army. So the captain asked me to be the army Sima and take care of them. In fact, we are also making a living, and we have never fought any wars, and even riding horses temporarily learned..."
To be continued...
