The camp of the Liang army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the big tent, the potter sat on the top, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Yi sat in front of the tent.

In front of the tent, the messenger who has returned from the dust is making a return to the potter.

The messenger was ordered by the potter to go to Ancheng with his handwritten letter and surrender to Zhang He.

"Very good, come on, reward." After listening to the report, the potter nodded with satisfaction.

The messenger bowed and retreated.

"Ovary, my father-in-law is so separated from Yuan Shang and Zhang He, what do you think?" The potter looked at Zhang Liang.

Yuan Shang's ability to command troops is far inferior to Zhang He, and if he wants to break through Ancheng, the key is how to deal with Zhang He.

If Yuan Shang and Zhang He's ministers worked together, with the solidity of Ancheng, the potters would not be able to break quickly, so he would use Zhang Liang's strategy to separate the two.

Zhang Liang expected Yuan Shang's character, like his father Yuan Shao, to be suspicious, which was the basis for the implementation of discord.

"Liang Gong can think of using the trick to surrender Zhang He, smearing his hands and feet in the letter, arousing Yuan Shang's suspicion, it is indeed a clever trick, with Yuan Shang's suspicious character, when he sees that letter, it is strange not to doubt it." Zhang Yi also said with a smile.

The plan of discord was proposed by Zhang Liang, but how to divide the law was thought of by the pottery merchant.

Hearing Zhang Yi's praise, the potter only smiled faintly.

"Liang Gong's trick is indeed clever, but this letter alone can only make Yuan Shang suspicious, and it has not yet achieved the effect of truly separating them, I think that we have to perform a few more good scenes."

"Go on." The potter's eyes lit up and urged.

Zhang Liang explained his plan unhurriedly.

The more the potter listened, the more excited he became, he nodded again and again, patted the case, and said happily: "Ziliang's plan is wonderful, so let's do it." ”

At that moment, the potter and Zhang Liang agreed on the details in detail, and prepared to act according to the plan.

At this time, a scout hurriedly entered and handed a silk book to Zhang Yi, who was in charge of intelligence work.

Zhang Yi glanced at it a few times, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed over the silk book, "Duke Liang, the urgent secret report just sent by Pingyuan County, I'm afraid our discordant action will have to be delayed a little." ”

The potter's expression moved, he glanced at Zhang Liang, took the silk book and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Yuan Xi, this kid, finally can't sit still." ”

The intelligence claimed that the second son of the Yuan family had led 15,000 Qingzhou soldiers out of the nest not long ago, marched west along the Yellow River, and rushed towards Liyang.

The potter showed the letter to Zhang Liang.

"It seems that Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Xi to retreat to Northern Qingzhou, the purpose is to take advantage of the fact that our army is gathering in Ancheng, let Yuan Xi attack my flank, threaten Liyang, and force us to retreat, this is probably Yuan Shao's strategy to retreat." Looking at the silk book, Zhang Liangdao broke the mystery.

Zhang Yi sneered: "Fortunately, Liang Gong has already taken precautions, and sent the general to lead 4,000 elite soldiers to guard Liyang, with Yuan Xi's ability, even if he can kill Liyang City, he can only look at the city and sigh, we don't care about him at all." ”

Zhang Yi meant that he turned a blind eye to Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, and the army continued to attack Ancheng.

The potter pondered for a moment, but shook his head, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, even if they can't attack Liyang, let him exist on our flank, it is always an unstable factor, he was entrenched in the plains before, I can't help him, and now he has an itchy butt and takes the initiative to get out of the nest, how can I let go of this great opportunity." ”

"What does Liang Gong mean is that he wants to take the opportunity to defeat Yuan Xi and solve the flank threat in one fell swoop?" Zhang Liang's eyes lit up.

The potter smiled and nodded.

"Liang Gong's idea is right." Zhang Yi nodded first, but then said: "It's just that if we divide our troops into Liyang and go to meet Yuan Tan, there are few soldiers and horses, not enough to break the enemy, and if there are many soldiers and horses, that kid is afraid, and retreats to the plain, and when our army retreats, he sends troops to attack and harass, so repeatedly to no avail, it seems that our army is a little passive." ”

"Who said I was going to fight Yuan Tan......" A mysterious sneer appeared on the young man's face.

……

Two days later,

When Yuan Xi led an army of 15,000 and marched towards Liyang, the potters and Xiang Yu led 6,000 light horsemen and were running wildly on the road northeast of Yecheng.

At noon, six thousand light horsemen came to a junction.

From there, continue to go south, cross the Qing River is the Pavilion Tao City, and the other road is to go north along the Qing River, pass through the Qing River Country, and go straight to the Bohai.

Yuan Xi's army marched west from the plains and attacked Liyang, and Guantao City was the place where it must pass, and according to the estimation of the footsteps, Yuan Xi was probably on his way to Guantao City.

In the name of blocking Yuan Xi, the pottery merchants divided their troops to attack, and these light cavalry soldiers thought that the purpose of their trip was to seize the Pavilion Tao City before the Yuan army, and give Yuan Xi a hard blow there.

They were mentally prepared to cross the Qing River and capture Guantao.

At this time, however, the potter ordered the whole army to halt its advance and rest on the spot.

The six thousand soldiers were finally able to take a breath, each dismounted to rest, and also gave his beloved war horse a breath and fed a few sips of water to drink.

"Where does the road to the north lead?" The potter took a sip of water and asked, pointing the way.

Xiang Yu glanced at it and said, "According to the map, if the road goes further north, it will be parallel to the Qing River, cross the Heqing Kingdom, wipe through the northern border of Pingyuan County, and enter the territory of Bohai County. ”

"From the border of Pingyuan County, it seems that this is the road......" The potter nodded slightly, and a slight sneer gradually appeared in his eyes.

After pouring the last sip of water, the potter turned over and got on his horse, pointed his sword to the north, and shouted: "When you have enough rest, you can get on the horse for Bengong, the whole army will be rerouted to the north, and go straight to the plain with Bengong, and copy Yuan Xi's nest." ”

Take the plains straight!

Hearing this order, Xiang Yu's expression moved, and he was in a trance for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Xiang Yu heard it right, the potter was going to attack the plain.

Pingyuan County, located in the easternmost part of Hebei, on the north bank of the Yellow River, belongs to Qingzhou, is a strategic county connecting Jizhou in the west and Qingzhou in the east.

Yuan Xi's base camp is in the county.

Considering Zhang Yi's concerns, the potter decided to personally lead 6,000 light horsemen, in the name of seizing the pavilion pottery and blocking Yuan Xi, but in fact, he wanted to run a long distance and directly copied Yuan Xi's lair.

Once the old nest was ended, Yuan Xi could not capture Liyang in front of him, and then he was homeless, and his army of 15,000 would inevitably be defeated without a fight, and the potters would remove the threat of the flanks without much effort.

In addition to the potter himself, only Zhang Liang and Zhang Yi, the two confidants and strategists, knew about this strategy, even if it was a top general like Xiang Yu, he didn't know it before he set out on the expedition, let alone an ordinary soldier.

The potter did this, naturally, to keep it secret and prevent Yuan Xi from getting the news in advance and returning to the plain in advance.

Now, Yuan Xi has been led out of the plain from afar, racing against time to seize the Pavilion Pottery City, even if he knows the true purpose of the potter at this time, he can't rush back to the plain with the potter's light horse, so naturally there is no need to hide it anymore.

"It turns out that this is Liang Gong's true intention, and it is really a move." Xiang Yu suddenly realized and looked at the potter in surprise.

The potter smiled, and urged the knights, who had also suddenly come to their senses, to get on their horses and set off again.

The potter knew very well that Yuan Xi was very careful about himself, and he would be densely packed with scouts on the way south of his army in advance, so as to reconnoiter the movements of his army at any time.

At this moment, as soon as he changes direction, perhaps the enemy army will immediately report his latest movements to Yuan Xi.

All the potter had to do was to immediately change his route, rush to Pingyuan County before Yuan Xi learned the real target of his trip, and take Pingyuan City, the seat of his governance, in one fell swoop.

The six thousand iron cavalry of the Liang Army did not hesitate at all, as iron-blooded soldiers, they did not need to use their brains, all they had to do was unconditional obedience.

The light cavalry traveled hundreds of miles in a day, and after three days, they reached the northern border of Pingyuan County.

The potter once again ordered a diversion to the south, all the way to the north gate of Plains City.

The potter knew that Yuan Xi was still in the plain city, and there was still a deputy general Jiao Touch, who led 3,000 soldiers and horses to stay behind, and was also guarding against the surprise attack of the Liang army.

It's just that even if Jiao Touch is on guard, he will only be prepared for the Liang army to attack from the west, and he would never have dreamed that the potter would go around in a big circle and suddenly kill from the north.

The potter was caught off guard by the fact that he was killed.

After crossing the Qing River and passing through several valleys, the terrain in front of them became flatter and flatter, and the speed of the cavalry was also increased.

When the sun was slanting to the west, the potter climbed over a small mound, and in front of him, a towering city finally came into his field of vision.

Plains City.

This plain county magistrate is quietly bathed in the sunshine of the west at the moment, and is about to throw itself into the arms of the night, but it doesn't know that a few miles away, a group of tigers and wolves have shown their hideous teeth to it.

"It's finally here......," the potter smiled, the killing intent of the hunt burning rapidly in his eyes.

The six thousand Liang Army knights behind him, although their faces were tired, they could not suppress the excitement and killing intent in their eyes.

The potter took a deep breath, pointed his sword forward, and roared: "My warriors of the iron cavalry, do you see, the plain city is in front of you, the enemy army is unprepared, go into the city with me, copy Yuan Xi's lair, the wine and meat in the treasury, let you eat enough." ”

After a long-distance run, the soldiers are tired, and at this time, the temptation of heavy rewards must be used to motivate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"Fight for Liang Gong and raze the enemy city with me!" Xiang Yu's overlord spear was longitudinal, like golden lightning, and the horse galloped out.

The iron cavalry soldiers who had been aroused their greed were swept away from exhaustion, and their blood boiled in an instant, like hungry beasts, burst out and rushed towards the plain city.

……

At the head of the plain city, the guard Jiao Touch was humming a little song, lazily walking on the wall of the north gate.

He was at the north gate, not because he was guarding the north gate, but just patrolling the city for a week as usual, in fact, more than half of the soldiers in the city were on the west gate.

In Jiao Touch's opinion, the plain far away from the main battlefield can sit back and relax, even if there is a threat, it may come from Ximen.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the sunset in the west, he sighed helplessly, and complained in his mouth: "If the second prince can capture Liyang, it will be equivalent to making immortal achievements, and the generals who go with him will inevitably be promoted one by one, but unfortunately I was left to defend the city, and I can't share some credit......"

Anxious and melancholy sighed, obviously not satisfied with defending the city, this "idleness" in his eyes.

The sun is about to sink in the west, and the city patrol is over, and Jiao Touch has been thinking about returning to the tent quickly, drinking a few glasses of wine, and finding a few Mei Ji to have fun and pass this boring time.

And just as he turned around and was about to go down to the city, suddenly his ears moved slightly, as if he heard something.

The general's instinct made him turn around and return to the battlements, listening with his ears pricked up, and looking to the north.

The voice came from the north.

Looking into the distance, at the end of the avenue, faintly, there was a wild dust, which was rolling towards the north gate.

Jiao Touch's body shook slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

As a military general, he could naturally see that that kind of dust and mist was not formed naturally, but could only be lifted by the galloping of soldiers and horses.

"The soldiers and horses of the second prince are all in the west, and which way will the soldiers and horses come to the plain in the north?"

When the fox was puzzled, the dust and fog got closer and closer, and the originally subtle sound evolved into a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking.

In the dust and mist, countless iron horses, ghost soldiers who killed from hell in the dark, gloomy and solemn, and on the dark banner that greeted the flying and proudly danced, there was a word "Liang" written on it.

"Yes...... Is it Liang Jun?! ”
