Chapter 368: Yuan Shao, I'll play with you

A few days later, the Liang army camped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the excitement and excitement are circulating wildly, and the faces of every general are burning with an expression of victory in sight.

At the top of the place, the potter was holding Han Meng's secret letter, and his young face was also full of surprise.

This is a letter sent to him by Han Meng's henchmen who came out of the city late yesterday night.

Han Meng said in the letter that Yuan Shao was at the end of his rope, and he asked the good ministers to choose a tree to live on, and would open the west gate tomorrow to surrender and help the potters take Yecheng in one fell swoop.

Most of the elite generals under Yuan Shao's command have been defeated, and now the generals in Yecheng who can support the scene are nothing more than Wen Chou and Han Meng, it can be said that Han Meng is the second largest general after Wen Chou.

If this person surrenders, the city will be broken.

"Ofan, do you think this Han Meng is really descending or fake?" The potter was not as excited as the generals, and looked at Zhang Liang, who had been silent.

Zhang Liang groaned slightly, and said lightly: "Han Meng is Yuan Shao's general, Yuan Shao treats him well, and now the momentum of Yecheng is not yet at the last moment, he will come to surrender at this time, isn't it a little early." ”

Clearly, Zhang Liang's words show his skepticism.

"What do you think?" The potter nodded slightly, and looked at Zhang He again.

Zhang He pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Han Meng's strength is far inferior to Yan Liangwen's ugliness, but he followed Yuan Shao very early, and he is considered Yuan Shao's confidant, and it is not impossible to say that he will surrender, but as Mr. Zifang said, Ye Cheng has not yet reached the end of the mountain, saying that he will betray Yuan Shao at this time, I am skeptical." ”

Zhang He has worked with Han Meng for many years, and he naturally knows this person very well, and his suspicions are even more important than Zhang Liang's, which immediately calmed down the excitement of the generals a lot.

"If Han Meng, this bastard, is not sincere in surrendering, then there must be deception in this, what tricks does Yuan Laogou want to play?" Fan Xu scratched his head.

"If I guessed correctly, Han Meng's book must be Yuan Shao's plan to attack the west, I think the old thief can't keep it, and he wants to escape." The potter smiled coldly and threw the letter on the desk.

Yuan Shao wants to escape!

The generals were all shocked, looking at each other, puzzled for a while.

Zhang Liang's expression moved, but he had already realized it, and sneered: "What Liang Gong said is good, Yuan Shao's foreign aid is hopeless, and the internal people are in turmoil, he must be afraid of repeating the mistakes of Liyang and wants to let the city go." As for Han Meng's fraudulent surrender, most of them wanted to lure our army's heavy troops to the west gate, but the old thief took the opportunity to escape from the other gate. ”

Zhang Liang's words of the supreme wise man woke everyone up.

"Very good, Yuan Lao Thief wants to play, then I will play with him." The potter sneered, and said with a flick of his hand: "Reply to Han Meng, just say that my father promised his request to surrender, and tomorrow he will transfer heavy troops to the West Gate according to the agreement, and accept him to surrender." ”

The potter then ordered Zhang Liang to write a reply and asked Han Meng's henchmen to bring him back to Yecheng.

……

The next day, late at night.

Thousands of Liang troops, under the cover of night, quietly assembled in the direction of the north gate like an undercurrent, and lined up to wait.

The potter had already predicted that Han Meng was just Yuan Shao's bait, and the direction in which Yuan Shao really broke through must be one of the three gates in the north and southeast.

The south is already the territory of the potters, and Yuan Shao will not be stupid enough to break through from the south gate.

As for the direction of the East Gate, although you can flee to the direction of Nanpi to meet Yuan Xi, considering that Yuan Xi has fewer soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao will probably not choose this way.

Only in the north, Zhongshan and other counties still support Yuan Shao's rule, and there is backed by Youzhou, with the support of tens of thousands of high-ranking cadres, Yuan Shao is most likely to choose this way to break through.

The potter expected that Yuan Shao would break through from the north gate.

As a result, the pottery merchant secretly mobilized more than 30,000 elite infantry soldiers to block Yuan Shao's escape with absolute strength.

……

The night was deep, and I didn't realize that it was the second half of the night.

The time set by Han Meng to dedicate the door is getting closer and closer, and the blood of the 30,000 soldiers is boiling, and they are all ready to fight, ready to end this protracted war with a happy killing.

In front of the camp of the Liang army, the potter immediately crossed his sword, and his eagle eyes stared at the other side of the night, as if he could see through the void.

He seemed to be able to see the anxious faces in Yecheng.

The head of the North Gate.

Yuan Shao was also staring at the Liang army camp, silent for a long time, with a complicated look on his old face.

What you step on is Yecheng, but it is the core of the four states of Hebei.

Just over a year ago, he proudly announced the decision of the southern expedition here, led an army of 150,000 people, set off from this city, and went to the Central Plains, dreaming of dominating the world.

Who knows, today, more than a year later, he has not fallen to the point where he can't even hold this city.

"Heaven, what have I done wrong, is that humble thief destined to be my nemesis, I don't accept it, I don't accept it......"

Yuan Shao was looking up to ask the sky, but the soldiers on the left and right under his command were all excited, and they didn't look anxious.

The experience of Liyang City is too tragic, they are really afraid that Yecheng will become a hell on earth like Liyang, and Yuan Shao's decision to break through is equivalent to giving them hope to live.

But they know that tonight's breakthrough will be a bloody battle, and whether they can escape alive is still unknown.

"Lord, it's almost time, it's time to get out of the city, so as not to have many long nights and dreams, and be suspected by the pottery thief." Frustrated reminded.

Yuan Shao's mind retracted, he regained his composure, took a deep breath, and looked at Han Meng, "Zhong Yong, my Yuan family's qi number, it's up to you tonight." ”

Han Meng's blood immediately boiled, and he said angrily: "Don't worry, the lord will open the way ahead, and he will fight to the death to kill a bloody road for the lord, and the lord just needs to follow behind me." ”

"Well, go ahead." Yuan Shao patted Han Meng's shoulder, his eyes were full of trust, as if he had put his net worth and life in Han Meng's hands.

Han Meng didn't say anything more, strode down the city, turned on his horse, glanced at the excited soldiers, and shouted generously: "Soldiers, the time has come to repay the kindness of the lord, follow the general to go out of the city first, and kill a bloody road for the lord!" ”

More than 10,000 soldiers and soldiers of Yuan were excited, and under the urging of the will to survive, they all mustered up courage and shouted for a bloody battle.

The north gate slowly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Han Meng pulled his horse and knife to kill first.

Behind him, 10,000 soldiers and horses also followed.

At the head of the city, Yuan Shao looked down at the city, watched Han Meng go away, watched the 10,000 soldiers disappear into the night one by one, and sighed secretly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes that was not easy to detect.

Then, he glanced at Wen Chou, and Wen Chou retreated from the city in a low-key manner.

A quarter of an hour later, 10,000 soldiers and horses had all left the city, leaving only 5,000 Yuan Shao's personal troops.

According to the plan discussed in advance, General Han Meng led the front army to open the way, and Wen Chou led 5,000 personal soldiers to protect Yuan Shao and then follow up, and fought their way out of the siege together.

"Lord, General Han's soldiers and horses have left the city, we should also follow, we can't fall too far." Frustrated reminded again.

"It's time too, let's go, go to the east gate." Yuan Shao nodded, hurriedly went down the city, turned on his horse and went straight to the east gate.

East Gate?

Fu Zhu was confused on the spot, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers were also at a loss, and they were at a loss for a while.

The plan was obviously to break through from the north gate, and Han Meng's army had already left the city before opening the way, why did he suddenly change his plan and go to the east gate instead?

Is the lord crazy?

This thought flashed through everyone's minds, but they had to follow Yuan Shaowang to the east gate with uneasiness and doubts.

"Could it be ......" A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a chill immediately swept on his back, but he had to frown, and he reluctantly followed Yuan Shao towards the east gate.

……

Outside the north gate, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Like an iron tower, the potter stands in the dark, with an unangry and self-righteous momentum.

Seeing that the early morning had passed, the soldiers were messy in the night wind for several hours, but they did not see any movement in the direction of the north gate.

"Liang Gong, are you and Mr. House thinking too much, will it be that Han Meng's dog mongrel really wants to surrender, we misunderstood others." Fan muttered, already starting to waver a little.

The potter sneered and didn't bother him, and the eagle kept his eyes on the other side of the night.

Just when Fan Xu wanted to shout a few words, the potter raised his hand violently to stop him, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Fan Hao closed his mouth, pricked up his ears with the potter, listened carefully, listened and listened, and couldn't help grinning.

Listening carefully, in the direction of the south, there was a faint movement coming, getting bigger and bigger.

It's footsteps!

"Grandma's, Old Dog Yuan really wants to break through from the north gate." Fan Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted in surprise to the potter: "Liang Gong, you and that house are really like gods, as soon as Yuan Laogou kicks his ass, you know what kind of stinky fart he is going to have." ”

"Ahem, can you stop praising me like this, it's disgusting." The potter glared at him.

Fan was stunned, scratched the back of his head and laughed.

Not only Fan Xu, Xiang Yu and other generals, but also the officers and soldiers of the three armies who have been arrayed for a long time are all in high spirits, and their fighting spirit is wild, and they are like beasts in a cage, and they can't wait to get out of the cage and kill them.

The shaking of the ground began to intensify, and in the dim night, countless figures could be seen faintly coming.

"Duke Liang, more than 10,000 Yuan troops have crossed the trench and rushed towards the gap between our camps." A scout galloped in, shouting.

The information sent by the scouts reflected the judgment of the potters and Zhang Liang, and the last suspicious look on the faces of the soldiers was swept away, and the war spirit was like a volcano, ready to erupt.

He wanted to let all the Yuan troops cross the entrenchment and leave Yecheng far enough away to launch a siege, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, and frighten Yuan Shao back to Yecheng.

30,000 soldiers of the Liang Army, the arrow is already on the string, and it will be sent at any time.

More than 100 steps away, Han Meng was scolding the soldiers, throwing the soil bag he was carrying into the trench used by the Liang army to besiege the city, filling in the trench, and the whole army could cross the first line of defense of the Liang army.

Bags of earth and stones were thrown into the pit, and soon the ditch was filled, Han Meng rode his horse first, and tens of thousands of soldiers followed, hurriedly jumping over the ditch, interspersed with the gaps between several battalions of the Liang army.

There was still a calm ahead, and Liang Jun could not be seen.

Sergeant Yuan secretly rejoiced one by one, and ran wildly, thinking that he could break through smoothly.

"Mr. Fu's plan is really clever, the pottery thief must have been deceived by my fraudulent surrender book, and the main force was lured to the west gate, but I didn't know that we had fallen for our strategy of attacking the east and the west, hehe......"
