Everyone lowered their heads and thought, but the enemy took the lead and took advantage of the territory. It would be difficult for them to attack the river without the advantage of military strength. Everyone thought hard but still had nothing to gain, and for a moment, the tent was terrible.

After a while, Yan He coughed twice, glanced at everyone with disappointment and said, "Since you have no clever plans, let's listen to someone's ideas first. Schemes are not a good plan. Let's take a closer look. Please tell me if you have any suggestions."

Although Yan He said this very politely, everyone here knew that he was going to give a direct order. Ren Zhen was the first to hold his fist and said, "As a general, we should follow it."

Others also agreed and said that they all obeyed the orders. So Yan He cleared his throat, stood up and walked to the wooden frame map on the right, pointed to it, and said loudly: "You also know that the Taiping Ferry opposite our army is the most suitable place for crossing the river within a radius of dozens of miles. Therefore, the Shu army also stationed the main army here and built solid fortifications. Therefore, if our army attacked this ferry fortifications, it would be severely damaged.

Therefore, I intend to take advantage of the heavy fog before it has dissipated tomorrow morning to use a small number of troops as the main force to attack Taipingdu, while our main force quietly rushed to Wangjiadu downstream in the second half of the night tonight. Once the Shu army was attracted by the war on Taipingdu, our army took the opportunity to raid Wangjiadu.

According to the scouts, the Shu army had only hundreds of soldiers and seven or eight ships in Wangjiadu, so our army must have 600% certainty in breaking the ferry after a sudden attack. I wonder if you think this plan is feasible?"

"The general's plan is to attack the east and west. The Shu army concentrated its main forces in Taipingdu. Our army's strong attack on this ferry is indeed not very likely to win. Although Wang Jiadu's defense is quite strict, it has few troops, so it is indeed easier for our army to attack. Well, the general's plan is feasible, and the humble position agrees." Ren Zhen said.

He Quan, who was sitting at his lower head, responded: "It's just that the Shu army has a large number of whistle cavalry between these dozens of miles of river. Once we find that our army's main force is Wangjiadu, the Shu army at other ferries will come to reinforce quickly. If our army has not yet reached the south bank, we will definitely suffer a defeat."

"So the key to this plan is to have a big reputation in the east, and to have a fast attack in the west. As long as we can do these two points, this battle will be half successful. As for the remaining half, we can only bet on whether God will stand on our side." Yan He said.

Everyone also agreed with this. After all, they are also a person who has experienced a lot of battle formations. They understand that no matter how good the temple calculation is, there will always be some unexpected accidents in actual combat.

These accidents are sometimes the key to determining who wins and who loses a war. Which side can reasonably deal with which side will have a greater chance of winning. As for whether this kind of temporary response is useful, it often depends on luck.

Yan He continued to ask everyone: "Do you have any other ideas? If not, then we will follow this plan."

"General, just order it directly. We have to try it anyway."

"It is better to attack Wangjiadu for a strong attack than to attack Taipingdu for a strong attack. Everyone is fighting against the dog-good Shu thieves."

"General, please give me an order. Just fight against the Shu army according to this plan. Maybe our luck is with us."

......

Everyone had no other good plans and expressed their willingness to attack the river according to Yan He's plan to attack the east and west.

Seeing that the army was motivated, Yan He was also very encouraged, so he returned to the desk and shouted excitedly: "He Quan obeyed the order."

"I am in a humble position."

Yan He said: "I ordered Ru to lead a thousand troops from the headquarters to feint attack Taipingdu early tomorrow morning."

"Get orders."

Yan He reminded him again: "Remember to build more flags tomorrow, and keep the drums off. The bigger the momentum, the better. You must make the Shu army think that the main force of our army is attacking."

"Don't worry, General, I understand the humble position." He Quan held his fists and took the order.

Yan He nodded slightly, and then said to the others: "The rest of the ministry is ready in advance. Once the hour passes, we will immediately rush downstream."

"No." Everyone agreed in unison.

Yan He looked at Ren Zhen again and said, "Zi Fen, there is another thing you need to work hard for you."

"The general directly ordered the order, and the general should do his best. How dare you say what hard work?" Ren Zhen said.

Yan He said: "You immediately go and order five hundred soldiers to tie up the grass man. The more grass man, the better. Arrange them inside and outside the camp to confuse the Sichuan thieves."

"promise."

Ren Zhen held his fists and took the order without delaying it. He immediately went out to arrange the matter. Then, Yan He drove the scouts away from the Shu army to explore the horse and blocked the news. When the army left the camp, he gave a detailed advice to everyone, and waited for everything to be properly ordered, so that everyone would disperse and prepare.

It was soon the second half of the night when the moon was dark, and the stars were sparse and dark clouds were lingering. Four thousand Wei troops, led by Yan He, slowly went out from the back door of the camp, with people holding pieces and horses wrapped around their hooves. The Wei army was disciplined very strictly and almost silent when they left the camp. In addition, the Han army had already been driven away by the Wei army scouts, so Yan He and they left late at night and were not discovered by the Han army.

There were naturally a need for ships to cross the river. Except for the eight ships left by the Wei army for He Quan to bluff, the rest of the ships were taken by Ren Zhen into three groups along the river bank and rushed downstream. This way, the noise was not loud and the night was covered, so it avoided the patrolling Han warships.

After leaving the camp, Yan He first led the soldiers north for several miles. After taking a detour away from Taipingdu, he ordered the troops to spread their feet and speed up to rush downstream of the Wei River.

The downstream Wangjiadu is only more than ten miles away from Taipingdu. The Wei army has arrived before dawn. Yan He led the troops to a nearby woods to rest in a hidden place. He just waited for the war on Taipingdu to start, and would lead the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the opposite side.

The rivers are full of fog, and the Wei River is no exception. In the past few days, heavy fog will cover both sides of the Wei River every morning, until the sun rises high and then disappears.

Today, the heavy fog still arrived as promised. As soon as the sky was dawn, the fog spread out, and the figure was no longer visible. He Quan, who was staying in the camp, saw that the time was ripe, then ordered the drums of war.

"Dong, dun, dun..."

The intense drum sounds passed through the river and reached the Han army camp on the south bank. Qi Hu in the central army tent was still sleeping. He was awakened immediately when he heard the drum sounds urgently. He turned over and jumped up from the couch, pulled out the sword hanging beside him, and rushed outside the tent with barefoot clothes.

"Is it the Wei army who came here?"

He replied left and right: "When the general said, the Wei army beat the drums of attack, as if it was to come over."

"What's the situation right now?"

He said left and right: "It is difficult to see clearly under the fog. I don't know what the situation on the other side is yet to be. However, the officer Zhu, who was on duty, has ordered the troops not to move without any action, and sent warships to inquire. I believe that news will be sent back soon."

"Okay, come and report it immediately when there is any news. In addition, send someone to invite General Feng Chong over." Qi Hu was relieved when he saw Zhu Zhao's handling, and ordered him to the left and right.

The left and right agreed quickly: "No."

Qi Hu returned to the tent and put on his armor under the servitude of his personal guards. He just tied his belt and arrived.

"Brother Qi."

"Brother Feng."

After the two of them talked about their etiquette, they informed each other about their respective troops. They felt relieved when they saw that the two soldiers were not panicked due to the Wei army's surprise attack.

After talking in the tent for a while, Qi Hu and Feng Chong came to the shore to explore the situation. However, the fog was blocked by the obstruction of their vision, and everyone could only hear the sound of drums, but could not see the figure of the Wei army.

"It seems that I can only wait for the news from the sentry to detect them."

Qi Hu sighed and turned around and ordered Zhu Zhao: "Tell the crossbowmen to be on the battlefield, and shoot arrows as soon as they see the Wei army approaching. In addition, let the navy force set out on the river to arrange formations, and if they encounter enemy ships attack, they will immediately surround them."
