Chapter 393: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

As soon as these words came out, it was Sima Yi's turn to change color, and he hurriedly glanced at Yuan Shang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yuan Shang is embarrassed, if he agrees, Hanoi County is Sima Yi's hometown, and he is a little sorry for him, if he doesn't agree, he is afraid that Yu Fuluo will be dissatisfied.

Moreover, if he allowed the Hu people to loot his people and spread it, Yuan Shang was also afraid that his reputation would be damaged.

"Why, the Duke of Jin is willing to give us even the three counties, but he is reluctant to let us loot some property? Then where do my Hun soldiers have the motivation to work hard for the Duke of Jin. Ivro pursed his lips, dissatisfied.

At this time, Sima Yi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Duke Jin is generous, how can he not be reluctant, it's just that Hanoi County is not a rich place, how much property can Da Dan Yu grab, why don't you wait for Jin Duke to kill into Jizhou, Jin Gong will pick a rich county, let Da Dan Yu and the soldiers of the Great Huns grab enough." ”

Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly applauded Sima Yi's cleverness, so that he could not only avoid Hanoi County being robbed, but also continue to lure the Huns to kill him all the way back to Jizhou, lest they regret it after sacking Hanoi.

"Yes, that's what my father meant, I don't know what the big order wants." Yuan Shang hurriedly agreed.

Yuvro pondered for a moment, smiled with satisfaction, and raised his palm again.

Yuan Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately waved his hand, and the two sides high-fived as an oath.

Since the conditions were negotiated, Yu Fuluo happily took Yuan Shang as the leader of the alliance and ordered 50,000 iron horsemen under his command to be used by Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was naturally overjoyed, and he followed Yu Fuluo's brother for a long time before sending Yu Fuluo to the city.

As soon as the Xiongnu walked on the front foot, Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Duke of Jin, how can you be so confused, the Huns are tigers and wolves, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of effort, how many Han soldiers died, before the Huns were driven away and Shuofang Zhubian counties were established, how could the Duke of Jin easily give these counties to the Huns, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Yuan Shang was embarrassed for a moment and looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled faintly, and said disapprenously: "Mr. Yuan Hao is too worried, in fact, these three counties have been taken by the Huns, even if the Duke of Jin does not give them to Yu Fuluo, our Great Jin will not be able to recapture these three counties for a while, so why not be a favor, in exchange for the Huns to work for us." ”

"But ......"

"I know Mr. Tian is worried about the future." Sima Yi interrupted Tian Feng with a flick of his hand, and said with a confident smile: "As long as the Duke of Jin can recapture Jizhou, and in the future, he will sweep away the heroes and dominate the world, with the strength of my Great Jin, are you still afraid that the Huns will not obediently return the three counties and continue to be our eagle dog lackey?" ”

Tian Feng was speechless, speechless.

Even Tian Feng had nothing to say, and Yuan Shang had even more doubts, so he immediately said decisively: "You don't need to say more, the overall situation is important, this prince has decided to use Zhongda's plan to get through the difficulties in front of him first." ”

Tian Feng had no choice but to keep silent.

At the moment, above the Kei Pass, the Jin soldiers and the Xiongnu soldiers formed a union, and nearly 60,000 male soldiers guarded the city, which was a great prestige for a while.

Although Yuan Shang was helped by 50,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry, he was not carried away by the smugness, and did not dare to despise the pottery merchants, so under Sima Yi's advice, he insisted on the Kei Pass without fighting, and sent a large number of Xiongnu light cavalry to carry out attack and harass tactics on the Wei army's grain route.

Within half a month, Yuan Shang successively sent more than 20,000 cavalry to attack the flank of the Wei army, constantly destroying the Wei army's grain route.

From Yecheng to the front line of Keiguan, hundreds of miles of grain roads, for a time everywhere became the Huns attack and disturb points, less than half a month, the Wei army was burned grain and grass, actually reached 300,000 Hu.

Yuan Shang's intentions, how could the pottery merchant not know, he knew that if he wanted to protect the grain route, he had to send cavalry to restrain the Xiongnu cavalry.

It's just that the Wei army has no more than 10,000 cavalry, but the Huns have 50,000 iron cavalry, which is not enough to restrain the enemy cavalry, but it is possible to be annihilated by the Hun cavalry with superior numbers and combat effectiveness in the encounter.

On that day, the king of Wei Jun was accounted.

Another piece of information arrived, nearly 30,000 pieces of grain and grass were burned by the Huns near Wen County, and nearly 500 grain guards and more than 700 people were all killed by the Huns.

Hearing this unfavorable news, Fan Hao was the first to be annoyed, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Yuan Shang, this dog mongrel, can't beat us by himself, and he actually pulls the Hun Hu dog to deal with us, Lao Tzu really wants to strangle him." ”

Zhang Yi also arched his hand and said: "King Wei, according to our detailed secret report, Yuan Shang promised the Huns that after defeating us, he would give Shuofang and other three border counties to the Huns as their permanent territories, and it is precisely because of this that the Huns will work so hard." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar when the king's tent was neutral, and all the heroes were indignant and angry.

"Shuofang and other border counties, it is the land that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worked hard to sacrifice and recaptured from the Huns, how could Yuan Shang be so brazen and give it to the Huns so easily, this is really ......" Peng Yue, who had always been calm, couldn't help but say angrily at this time.

For a time, the generals in the tent were indignant, some scolded Yuan Shang for being shameless, and some scolded the Huns for being hateful.

"Don't hesitate to cut the land to the Hu people, but also go against me to the end, Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang, if I let me capture you alive, I will let you suffer a cruel punishment even worse than your father......" The potter's fists were secretly clenched, and the murderous anger in his eyebrows burned wildly.

Anger to anger, hatred to hate, but for a while I can't think of a countermeasure.

The potter knew very well that he could not scold the Huns with his mouth alone, and he must find a way to break the enemy as soon as possible to reverse the current passivity.

Because the fine work has sent back information, north to the Zhongshan River line, west to Hongnong Luoyang, south of Wancheng Shouchun line, the army of the four countries has approached, the battle on all fronts is about to break out, the pottery merchants must rush to the rest of the four sides can not resist, destroy Yuan Shang's Jin State, in order to draw troops back to help.

"If you want to destroy Yuan Shang, you must first destroy the 50,000 Hun iron cavalry in Fuluo, and if you want to destroy the Huns, it seems that the only way to do this is to lead them out of the Kei Pass and fight our Great Wei head-on." The potter, who suppressed his anger, said calmly.

In the king's tent, there was a sudden silence.

"At the beginning, Yuan Shang was killed by us, and now our army is forced to close the village, even if Yuan Shang has 50,000 Huns to help, he doesn't dare to come to fight, and if he wants to lure that dog mongrel to fight with us, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Fan Xu scratched his head and said.

The potter's expression moved, as if he thought of something, "Fan Dayu, you are right, our army is so aggressive to force the village, of course Yuan Shang does not dare to fight, only by retreating can the snake be lured out of the hole." ”

Retreat?

The generals look at me and I look at you, and they failed to understand the deep meaning of the potters for a while.

Zhang Liang was the first to come to his senses, nodded and said: "Our army can move troops east under the pretext of saving the northern front, but it can also lure Yuan Shang to fight." However, even if the enemy country is out of Keiguan, with the strength of the 50,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu, it is not easy to annihilate the enemy army head-on in a terrain like Hanoi. ”

Zhang Liang's worries were also right, although Hanoi County was not as flat as that place in Jizhou, the terrain was also relatively open, which was conducive to the cavalry to give full play to their mobile advantages.

The pottery merchant has broken the military camp in hand, and it is not a way to deal with the cavalry on the flat ground, but Yuan Shang must have learned a lesson, and he will definitely strengthen his vigilance, and it is not easy to break the Hun iron cavalry with crossbowmen.

"There must be a surprise strategy, and it is surprising to kill the Huns."

In the potter's mind, this idea immediately burst into his mind, his eyes looked at Zhang Liang, and said with a smile: "This plan to break the enemy, this king has already figured out the beginning, as for how to break the Hun iron horse, it depends on you." ”

Zhang Liang was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed.

"Yes, you head is so smart about the house, you don't come out with a bad idea." Fan Hao stretched out his big hand and pushed Zhang Liang, almost knocking him down.

"What is a bad idea, can you speak......" Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and glared at him

In the big tent, the tense and heavy atmosphere eased a lot for a while, and everyone laughed.

The potter smiled with his hand, "It's decided, Ofan, this king only gives you five days, you must come up with a clever plan to break the enemy, and kill Hu Gou by surprise." ”

Five days!

Zhang Liang's brows furrowed again, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, as if the five days were a little short for him.

That trace of embarrassment has passed in a blink of an eye, Zhang Liang smiled confidently, "King Wei, don't worry, Liang will come up with a foolproof plan within five days." ”

With Zhang Liang's words, the potter still had something to worry about, the plan had been decided, so he ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and begin to retreat to the east.

The next day, the 90,000-strong army pulled out of camp and retreated eastward in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the potter released another rumor, saying that Liu Bei's offensive in the north was very fierce, the situation was unfavorable, and Jiguan could not be attacked for a long time, so he planned to change his tactics and turn back to the north to solve the danger in the north.

In a few days, the pottery merchant led the army to retreat from Keiguan to Wen County, and from Wen County to Huaicheng, the seat of Hanoi.

Yuan Shang's appetite is not only to hold the one-third of an acre of land in Bingzhou, but to recapture Jizhou, if he wants to realize this grand plan, he can't just defend without attacking.

Sure enough, as soon as the pottery merchant withdrew his troops on the front foot, he led 60,000 Jin-Hungarian troops out of Jiguan on the back foot, followed the Wei army all the way, and followed to the east.

Yuan Shang learned the lessons of repeated defeats this time, and Sima Yi's conspiracy from the side, he did not dare to despise the pottery merchants, and did not immediately launch a large-scale pursuit, but only followed cautiously, and at the same time sent light cavalry to attack and harass the Wei army in different ways to probe.

The potters remained quiet and continued to implement the plan to lure the enemy, and after withdrawing all the people of Huaicheng, they led an army of 90,000 to retreat to the east of Xiuwu City.

As soon as the Wei army retreated on the front foot, the Jin-Hungarian coalition army entered and occupied Huaicheng on the back foot.

In order to prevent the people from being brutalized by the Huns, the potters have withdrawn the people along the way as much as possible, but due to the change of military situation, there is not enough time, and the people in the nearby countryside are also moved, so there are still many people, who have not been able to withdraw in time.

On the enemy's side, although Huvro ostensibly restrained his troops from sacking Hanoi County, these predatory Hun knights could not restrain their greed, and they still looted wantonly when they rode over.

The Huns entered Huaicheng, and when they saw that the city was empty, they went deep into the surrounding countryside in anger, and wantonly burned and looted, but all those who resisted were killed.

Regarding the brutality of the Huns, Yuan Shang, the nominal leader of the alliance, could only turn one eye open, close one eye, and pretend not to see it.

It was the day, west of the city.

On the avenue, the remnant sun sloped westward, Yuan Shang walked silently on the way to Huaicheng, and the countryside he passed along the way was all burned to ashes, corpses everywhere, and the crying of disheveled women everywhere.

The surviving people who knelt beside the road greeted Yuan Shang fearfully in their actions, but there was a faint hatred in their eyes.

It was Yuan Shang, the son of the Han family, who connived at the Hu people to wash their hometown with blood, but they could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"This Yu Fuluo, who clearly promised his father not to sack Hanoi, why didn't he care about his subordinates." Yuan Shang secretly gritted his teeth and complained in annoyance.

Tian Feng shook his head and sighed, and said silently: "The Huns are originally jackals and robbers, and it is their nature to burn, kill and loot. ”

Yuan Shang was silent.

"Sima Zhongda, it was you who offered this plan to the Duke of Jin and introduced the Huns to your hometown, and now I don't know how you feel when you see your hometown father and elder being harmed by the Huns." Tian Feng's gaze glanced at Sima Yi, and he did not hide the irony in his tone.
