Chapter 224 Liu Fan's Fortress Was Surrounded

After much consideration, Geng Fu wrote a letter to Ren Fu overnight. The letter was nothing more than a re-prompt, asking Ren Fu to give up his plan to attack Tiandu Mountain, and lead the army to Zhenrong Army as soon as possible, and organize various fortresses to jointly block the Dangxiang army in Tiandu Mountain. This was the strategy set by Han Qi before departure, and it was also a re-emphasis by Xu Ping.

It was already midnight when the letter was delivered to Zhangjiabao. Ren Fu was wearing a armored man and was entertained in the official hall. Another inspector who came to send Xu Ping's military order, Xiang Jin, and Zhao Zheng, Ren Fu's son Ren Huailiang and Chang Ding, and Liu Su accompanied him. The soldiers who delivered the letter were taken into the official hall, sang their promises with their hands, and presented Geng Fu's letter.

Ren Fu opened the letter and read it, laughed and said, "Geng Senjun is really careful. He also sent me a book at this time. He repeatedly ordered not to violate the Jiedu of Xu Dupu, and lead troops to Zhenrong Army as soon as possible. He read more books, but he underestimated the Sa family too much! Who is Xu Dupu? In less than two years, he destroyed Yu Zanghuama in one battle, and defeated the Dangxiang army several times. Even the Hao thief could only escape! The people who fought on the battlefield were most respectful to such good men, and how could they be naughty at this time!"

He casually put Geng Fu's letter on the desk, and Ren Fu smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Zheng said: "Geng's army was asked by Han Zhao, so it is only natural to be careful. With Xu Dudu as the leader in this battle, all the generals will be able to wipe out the Hao thief in Tiandu Mountain!"

Ren Fulang said, "I'm right to bear this! With Xu Dupu presided over this time, the three armies will be able to defeat the Hao thieves in one battle!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all with everyone.

Ren Fu has been a commander of the whole journey for decades and is very familiar with military affairs. After reading Xu Ping's letter, he understood at least two points in his heart. First, Gao Daquan will win in attacking Tiandu Mountain. Even if Yuanhao's army does not leave Tiandu Mountain, it will not be able to stop Gao Daquan and Zhang Kang's attack. Another thing is that Yuanhao has basically no chance of going from Xiaoguan to Weizhou. His only way to live is to go east to Tianshengzhai area and follow the mountain road back to Weizhou. These two points are at the bottom.

It is impossible for Yuan Hao to go south to Watingchuan, otherwise he would fall into the trap. Ren Fu's journey to Desheng Village is meaningless. He just gathers troops and horses to support Tiansheng, Qianxing villages and Pengyang City, and blocks Yuan Hao's way eastward. Lu Yijian's handwritten not only gave Jingyuan Road, but also sent them to Huanqing Road, and asked them to send troops to support Tiandu Mountain immediately. Then the troops and horses from Huanqing Road just blocked Yuan Hao's way eastward.

Under this situation, even Liufan Fort, Yangmacheng and Dingchuan Village, which are north of the trenches, can give up and gather troops to attack from behind when the troops on Huanqing Road blocked Yuanhao's way. However, Ren Fu did not have this awareness yet, and he dared not do it for abandoning the city for no reason, nor did he think of it.

When the two armies fight decisively, the more power they have, the better. If they do not have a direct impact on the situation, they will give up if they can temporarily give up and concentrate their main force to fight against the enemy. This is what the Song army lacks. The front-line generals do not have this courage, and the system does not allow it. The front-line troops are too dispersed and are often defeated by the enemy by chance.

Whether war defends the ground or annihilates the enemy often makes the commanders at a loss. In terms of system, the Song army tends to protect the local area, and it is not enough to offset the crime of the loss of the city. This is a problem brought about by the system, and it is not easy to change in a short period of time. Xu Ping insists on separating the mobile corps from the local army, and the commanders no longer hold local positions. This is one of the reasons. Ren Fu cannot do this and cannot think of doing it.

The banquet did not end until dawn, and Ren Fu returned to the back yamen to rest. The battle situation was towards Minglang. Ren Fu was waiting for the sword and didn't even go to armor. He waited to gather the troops at Zhenrong Army, and waited for Yuanhao to fight after leaving Tiandu Mountain.

There was dawn in the east, and the sun had not yet risen, and the morning wind was cold and cold. There was a hustle and bustle around Zhangjia Fort, and the barracks inside and outside the fort were packed and prepared to go to Zhenrong Army.

At this moment, several fast horses faced the sun and rushed towards Zhangjia Fort like the wind. Seeing their Song Dynasty flag, the Song army outside the fort dared not intercept it, and let them go directly outside the fort gate.

Holding the horse's reins outside the village gate, a general whispered anxiously: "Sanchuan Village Supervisor Liu Jun, please see the deputy deployment!"

Zhangjiabao is not far from Sanchuan Village. The gate-guarding school had seen Liu Jun and did not dare to neglect it. He turned around and entered the fort and urgently reported to Ren Fu.

Ren Fu had already woken up and had just washed up. He took his bags and packed them up, preparing to go to the tent. He heard the school's urgent report, and frowned and said, "Xu Dugu Jun's order, our area's army is all coming to Zhenrong Army to meet. What are the custodians from Sanchuan Village doing at this time? No, is it that Hao's thief has come out of the mountain?"

Thinking of this festival, Ren Fu did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly ordered Liu Jun to come to see him. Liu Jun was wearing military uniform, but because he ran too fast on the road, his back was soaked with sweat, and he felt particularly uncomfortable in the cold wind in the morning. He followed Ren Fu's personal soldiers to the official hall and sang the promise with his hands.

Ren Fu looked at Liu Jun with his tiger eyes and asked in a deep voice: "You are coming urgently. Could it be that there is news about Hao Thief?"

Liu Jun crossed his hands: "The general said that he was the last one to come here, and he called the police! Yesterday, the thieves army left Tiandu Mountain and suddenly surrounded Liufan Fort. The king of the village received the news and ordered all the troops to rescue him. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by the thieves and died in a fierce battle. The thieves were in great power, and there were not many soldiers in Sanchuan Village. The general dared not take his own initiative. He came to see the general!"

Ren Fu's face suddenly became dark, and he was silent for a moment, which made Liu Jun feel nervous.

After a while, Ren Fu said decisively: "You go back to the village. If Liufan Fort sends people to let them abandon the fort and enter your village. I will order the Qi army here and go to Sanchuan Village! Your village is connected with Huaiyuan City and the Zhenrong Army to block the thieves' road to the south, and there is no mistake! The king's village has died. You are the master of the village, and you will organize people to prevent the thieves and do not make any mistakes!"

When he heard that Ren Fu was going to lead the army, Liu Jun's heart was overwhelmed and he hurriedly agreed. The Dangxiang army's ability to attack the city was not strong, and even if tens of thousands of troops were besieging a small village, it would not be able to be captured in a day or two. As long as Ren Fu led the army to Sanchuan Village, he could keep it there. As for Liu Fu Fort, because it was located outside the trenches and was inconvenient to rescue, he could only give up. Cao Wei's trenches were built on the Qin Great Wall, lying across the wide valley, with one city and one ditch, and isolating the coming and going.

After seeing Liu Jun away, Ren Fu called his son Ren Huailiang and said to him: "Just just now, Sanchuan Village came to report that the thieves had already left Tiandu Mountain and surrounded Liufan Fort. He went to rescue the king of the Sanchuan Village who had been rescued and sank to die. As I think, the thieves must have the intention to surround the place and set up an ambush and wait for reinforcements. If they send troops to aid, they will hit the thieves' thieves' trespass. Moreover, it is beyond the trenches, and our army is inconvenient to go there. I have decided to give up Liufan Fort and protect Sanchuan Village. I will order the surrounding troops and set off for Sanchuan Village in a while. This is a little different from Xu Dupu Sang. In order to avoid Geng's doubts about joining the army, you will go to Zhenrong Army and explain this matter to him personally. I will write a letter, and you will take it to the trip!"

Ren Huailiang agreed to the promise with his hands crossed his hands. In the army, his children do such things, and no confidants are as reliable as them. The main conflict between Ren Fu and Geng Fu is that they do not trust Han Qi and Xu Ping intervenes in command, so this does not exist.
