Chapter 165: Please enter the urn

Giving advice to Meng Tian was a civil official named Yang Duanhe, who was a Qin native who later joined the Qin army and made some military achievements. Because he was injured because he blocked an arrow for Wang Jian on the battlefield, Wang Jian felt his favor and allowed him to leave the army, and used his connections to make a suzerain-official for him above the court, usually in charge of the affairs of the Qin royal family.

Later, Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuzhi led their troops to the final treason, and Wang Qian's army went to conquer the battle, and now it is difficult to complete the battle. After Yang Duanhe learned about this, he went to Meng's Mansion and told Meng Tian that he might be able to persuade Chang'anjun to change his mind. Meng Tian listened carefully to Yang Duanhe's opinion and felt that this plan was feasible, so he said that he had listened to it with King Yingzheng of Qin.

Ying Zheng is quite sure of this strategy, although he is not very familiar with his own brother, but if you want to say that he dares to lead troops out of the Qin State, it is giving him a few courages, and he will not dare.

Yang Duanhe went to Shangdang to persuade Cheng Cheng to settle in this way, and Meng Tian recommended himself that he could personally lead someone to escort Yang Duanhe to Shangdang, and at the same time, after this matter was done, he could also take Han Fei's handwritten letter to South Korea to find Zheng Guo, and bring Zheng Guo to Qin State to change the status quo of the land in the northwest of Jingshui. Ying Zheng didn't have much trust in the other generals in the Qin court, so he had to hand over the matter to Meng Tian, and at the same time strictly ordered him not to stay in the land of Shangdang, once Yang Duanhe was sent to Shangdang City, he would hurry to South Korea.

Meng Tian saw that Ying Zheng knew what he thought, smiled at Ying Zheng, patted his chest and promised that he would definitely bring Zheng Guo back to Xianyang in the shortest possible time.

Leaving the palace, Meng Tian returned home and immediately wrote a letter to the subordinates of the family, asking him to ride a fast horse to the Mengjia army camp, and asked Meng Li to bring a team of elite soldiers of the Mengjia army to meet him, and then go to Korea together.

After asking his subordinates to go to Meng Li with their letters, Meng Tian left home and went to Yang Duanhe's house, and told him that Yingzheng agreed to his plan, asked him to pack his bags, and they set off for Shangdang County early tomorrow morning.

Before dawn on the second day, Meng Tian and Yang Duan and the two of them rode horses outside the Xianyang City Gate to meet Meng Li who was waiting here and the accompanying Mengjia soldiers, and the group rode fast horses towards Shangdang.

Three days later, Meng Tian and the others arrived at the barracks of Wang Qian's army outside Shangdang County. Wang Jian and many of his generals were discussing how to attack the Shangdang county town, and when they heard that Meng Tian had arrived with an envoy from the King of Qin, they hurriedly asked people to bring him in.

"Meng Tian meets the Generalissimo. After Meng Tian entered the tent, he bowed his head.

Wang Jian stepped forward to help Meng Tian up, and said with a smile: "Tian'er, why did you come here? Aren't you supposed to protect the king in Xianyang City?"

Meng Tian turned sideways, showed Yang Duanhe behind him, and said to Wang Qian: "Marshal, who do you think I brought you over?"

Yang Duanhe was also very happy to see Wang Qian, and hugged his fists and saluted: "Old General Wang, don't come to harm." ”

Wang Jian naturally won't forget this benefactor who once blocked an arrow for himself on the battlefield, "Duanhe, why are you here too?"

Meng Tian took out the letter written by King Yingzheng of Qin to Wang Jian from his body and handed it to Wang Qian, Wang Jian frowned after reading it, he looked at Meng Yang and said, "I understand what the king meant, but this matter is not very easy to handle at present." ”

Yang Duanhe opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask the marshal, what is the difficulty?"

Wang Jian pondered for a moment, and then continued to the two: "According to Ben Shuai's opinion, this strategy is extremely feasible, Chang'an Jun is a person who has no opinions, if he can be persuaded to turn back, the military morale of Shangdang County will naturally be chaotic, only with Li Mu's prestige, it is okay only in the Zhao army, but according to my observation these days, the Qin soldiers in the six cities do not have the slightest good impression of this Li Mu. ”

Meng Tian felt a little strange, "Then why did the big marshal say this?"

Isn't that easy?"

"Because the enemy army does not fight us out of the city at all these days, and is in a stalemate with us. Meng Wu walked into the tent, and just now he was in the rear army to sort out the armament, and when he heard his son coming, he rushed over after he was done.

Meng Tian got up and bowed to his father, Meng Wu helped him up, and then the father and son sat down. Meng Wu continued: "The enemy army refused to go out of the city to fight, and Shangdang County could not hold out, Li Mu's old man was very proficient, trying to drag down our army with this. ”

Wang Jian nodded, and he said to Meng Tian and Yang Duanhe: "Tian'er, what your father said is exactly what I want to say, and our biggest problem now is how to send Lord Yang into the city." ”

It turns out that this is the case, and this is indeed a big problem in front of everyone. If the Shangdang county town does not come out to meet the battle and does not let people in, then how can people be put in to carry out this divisive plan?

"If we show weakness to the enemy, causing our army's food and grass to be unsustainable, and the officers and men in the army are resentful, leading the enemy out of the city to fight our army, what does the marshal think?" was silent in the tent for a long time, and Yang Duanhe said suddenly.

Wang Jian looked at Yang Duanhe, thought about the idea he said, and asked Mengwu Mengtian father and son, "What do you think of this method?"

Meng Wu thought this was a good idea, and he agreed. Meng Tian also nodded, and he said: "This method is really good, let them think that our army has no fighting spirit, and the combat power will naturally be gone, but I am worried that we will not be able to deceive Li Mu, since this person can be named with the marshal, I think he must have something special." The real commander in Shangdang County is Li Mu now, if he is not allowed to send troops, then we still have no chance at all. ”

Yang Duanhe hurriedly said: "Shangdang County City can't be attacked, and the other party is unwilling to go out of the city to fight our army, so if you want to blend into the city, won't there be no way at all?"

Wang Jian slapped the table, then stood up and said, "There is no other better way to stalemate with them now, so it's better to use this method first." If the other party comes out of the city to attack us, it will naturally be a good thing, if not, then we will think of other ways. What do you think?"

Seeing that no one in the tent objected, Wang Jian ordered: "Okay, the generals obey the order, from now on no one is allowed to go out in the barracks, and everyone must be strictly guarded against their soldiers after they go back." This battle is related to whether our army can win the six cities of Shangdang in one battle, and the commander does not want to make a mistake. After you return to your respective barracks, you must make it clear to your soldiers that you must do a real job, and if you let Ben Shuai find out who dares to stumble on me, Ben Shuai will not spare him. ”

After dismissing many of the generals in the tent, Meng Tian followed his father Meng Wu back and began to prepare. This time, Yang Duanhe was sent to Shangdang County, and the fewer people the better, so Yang Duanhe meant that he only needed to send himself in, which also reassured Chang'an Juncheng. Wang Jian prepared a military uniform of the Zhao army for Yang Duanhe to wear, and let him blend in when Li Mu sent the army out of the city.

For the next few days, the Qin army did not send anyone to call for battle, which made Zhao Jun, who was guarding the city on the gate of Shangdang County, feel very strange, and looked at the Qin army camp from a distance, only to see a few neighing of horses in the distance, but there was no particularly big movement. The soldiers of the Zhao army who were guarding the city felt a little strange, so they reported the matter to Li Mu.

After listening to the report of the soldiers guarding the city, Li Mu also had some doubts in his heart, nearly half of the time passed, that Wang Jian sent people to scold at the gate of the city every day, and he just wanted to prepare for archery and the other party slipped away, but he still couldn't go back in the city, and the more than ten days made Li Mu worry about a few gray hairs on his head.

Jun Cheng and Fan Yuzhi heard the news at the gate of the city, and they also came to the hall of the county guard's mansion. After Fan Yuqi came in, he asked Li Mu: "The last general heard that there is news at the gate of the city, is it that the Qin army has withdrawn?"

Mu looked at the simple map on the table, and then said without looking up:

"It would be nice if this was the case, just now there was news from the door that the Qin army would no longer send people to scold in the past few days, and the soldiers felt strange so they came to report to me. ”

Fan Yuqi said: "Isn't it that the Qin army is in a hurry with food and grass, and the Qin army is already so hungry that he can't scold?"

Li Mu raised his head and looked at Cheng and Fan Yuqi, "It's not impossible, now that the Qin army is here, the grain and grass consumed every day is not a decimal, but we don't know their grain and grass transportation routes, otherwise send someone to attack, then Wang Jian has no grain and grass, and he will definitely withdraw his army." ”

Cheng said: "Since we don't know, then why don't we send people out of the city to investigate? If we blindly follow what General Li said, according to the city, we don't know anything about the outside news, then how can we win against Wang Qian?"

"Chang'anjun, don't be impatient, isn't this general studying the terrain near the Qin army's camp. As Chang Anjun said, he sent people out of the city to inquire about the news, and the general had already arranged it, so he would go tonight. Li Mu said.

At night, the west gate of Shangdang County quietly opened, and several horses rode out of the city, and there was no fire to illuminate, and then they disappeared into the vast night.

In the camp of the Qin army, the tent of the commander located in the center of the army was brightly lit, and Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Zhang Tang, Li Xin and Yang Duanhe gathered in the tent. Just after the hour, Meng Li broke into the tent, knelt on the ground and said, "Marshal Qiqi, general, the spies sent by Shangdang City have returned, and the last general followed them and watched them return to the city. ”

"Okay!" Wang Jian clapped his hands and shouted, "I ordered to go down, and the drama will be done for the next few days, but at night, the soldiers must not leave their swords in their hands, and their armor will not leave their bodies, and even if they sleep, they must keep one eye open for me." In addition, scouts must be arranged at the four gates of Shangdang County, and as soon as the enemy army is disturbed, they will immediately come back to report the news. ”

"Yes. ”

"General Qiyu, the villain went to the Qin army camp to investigate, and the grain and grass in the Qin army camp have been exhausted, and there are still some horse furs and bones around the camp, which should be caused by the Qin army slaughtering horses to satisfy hunger. There is also the instability of the people in the Qin military camp, many Qin soldiers are scolding, it seems that there is no military salary, coupled with the shortage of food and grass, many people have the idea of going home. The soldiers of the Zhao army, who went to the camp of the Qin army to inquire about the news, came back and said to Li Mu and Fan Yuqi.

Li Mu looked at the soldiers sent to inquire and asked, "Are you serious?"

The soldier knelt on the ground, "This is the villain who grabbed a Qin army who got up at night and forced him to ask, after asking, the villain killed him, and the villain came back after disposing of the corpse." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you did a good job, go down and get the reward." ”

When the soldier left, Li Mu said to Fan Yuqi: "It seems that the shortage of grain and grass in the Qin army is real, so it is really a godsend." General Fan, I will allocate 10,000 horses to you, will you dare to go to the Qin army camp tomorrow night to rob the camp?"

Fan Yuqi didn't expect that Li Mu would send himself and rob Wang Qian's camp. "Well, isn't 10,000 horses a little less, General Li?"

Li Mu smiled, and he said to Fan Yuzhi: "General rest assured, Ben will bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet you on the periphery, if the Qin army cheats, you will set fire to the Qin army, and Ben will immediately rush in with men and horses to save you." What do you think?"

"In that case, Ben will be relieved. Although Fan Yuzhi didn't want to go, he had to agree to Li Mu's dispatch due to Li Mu's coercion.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Okay, if the general can defeat the Qin army, the general will personally write to General Fan to ask for credit." At that time, the general will have the merit of shooting and killing Meng Fu, plus the success of the camp robbery tomorrow, and the two merits will be rewarded, and it is not an exaggeration for the general to be my Zhao Guowu Anjun. ”
