Episode 0159: Countermeasures in the city

In the city of Zhongmu, Sun Zhong is solid.

Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu are Zhang Jiao's two most trusted disciples, who have followed Zhang Jiao for many years and are loyal, so Zhang Jiao asked Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu to lead 15,000 troops each, a total of 30,000 soldiers, to guard Zhongmu.

After the Yellow Turban army counterattacked, Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu came to Zhongmu to guard on the orders of Zhang Jiao, and Chen Liu, Puyang, and Zhongmu continued to deliver grain trucks every day, day and night in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the size of the grain carts was average, the shape was similar, and others could not distinguish at all, only one place was robbed, and it would inevitably be known by the Yellow Turban army, and Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu also secretly admired Zhang Jiao's strategy.

Originally, Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu were also cautious people, but since they were ordered to transfer grain to Xuchang, their mentality relaxed.

You must know that Zhang Bao's department has taken Wuguan, Zhang Liang's department has taken the party, and Zhang Jiao's army is in the tiger prison, where is there still half of the Han army east of the tiger prison?

Therefore, Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu were also extremely relaxed, but due to the military order, the military rations were still delivered daily, rather than all at one time in the army.

Sun Zhong and Su Gu, as well as the leaders of Zhongmu, all watched in front of the marching map.

It has been more than 40 days since the great sage and good master besieged the Tiger Prison, and the loss of soldiers was no less than 100,000, so that Sun Zhong and Zhenggu, who were far away in Zhongmu, were also a little worried and worried.

Sun Zhongdao said, "Brother Zhengu, why do you say that this Tiger Prison Pass is so difficult to take, the Great Sage and Liangshi personally led the army, and it has not been down this pass for more than 40 days, and the losses are heavy, it really makes me unbelievable." ”

He said sharply, "The Tiger Prison guards don't know the number of days, and they dare to stop the army of the commander, this person will be punished by God, and the army will attack in the future, and all the soldiers in the Tiger Prison will be broken into pieces!" After speaking, he still couldn't understand his hatred, rubbed his hands, and scolded the tiger prison.

Sun Zhong smiled and said, "Why should Brother Gu be so angry, thinking that the Tiger Prison Pass is already the end of the strong crossbow, maybe in a few days, you can hear the battle report flying, the great sage and good master have taken the Tiger Prison Pass, and are leading the army to attack Luoyang." ”

Su Gu's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Brother Sun Zhong, once the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, and the commander attacks Luoyang, I will wait to lead the army, and you and me can't be missing to take Handu." ”

Sun Zhong's eyes also lit up, and just wanted to say something, he shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity, the marshal strictly ordered me to guard Zhongmu in the two towns, protect the soldiers and food in the city, and not go out of the city, so I had to ......."

"This is a mistake," Wei Gu interrupted Sun Zhong's words, "once the Yellow Turban army invades Luoyang, the military rations in Luoyang will be ten times and 100 times that of Zhongmu, where do you need some military rations in Zhongmu?" We should immediately lead the army to the north to make meritorious contributions and become the founding ministers of the country. ”

Sun Zhong thought about it carefully, this is the truth, Luoyang has been in the Han capital for hundreds of years, how can there be no soldier rations, nodded and smiled, "What Brother Wei Gu said is reasonable, once the marshal waves the army to Luoyang, we will immediately hand over the army to Zhang Bao, and then you and I can lead the army to the north and make great achievements together." ”

Su Gu smiled extremely brightly with a black face, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!" ”

Suddenly, the soldiers panicked and came to report, "Report, report, report the two commanders, the food and rations of the army that were transported to the commander today were all robbed, Leader Zhang was killed, and the other few soldiers returned in embarrassment......"

"What!" He yelled loudly, grabbed the soldier's neck, and shouted, "Say it again." ”

Xiao Bing's face was pale, his tongue stuck out from the elder, and he scolded secretly in his heart, you grabbed my neck, how can Lao Tzu say it again?

Sun Zhong immediately stretched out his hand, persuaded Zheng Gu to retreat, frowned and asked, "Who robbed me of my soldiers' rations?" Where are the grain carriers? ”

The little soldier touched his neck and said loudly, "Two commanders, today's trucks for transporting grain in China have been obtained by others, according to the soldiers who fled back, it was the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they not only robbed the soldiers who had been transported to the commander in the past two days, but also threatened to ......"

Su Gu shouted, "Great Han soldiers? How many soldiers? What to threaten? ”

The little soldier faintly trembled, "It is said that there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and they even threatened that the commander was defeated in the Tiger Prison Pass and was besieged in front ......of the pass, and the commander was in danger."

He laughed loudly, "Nonsense, this is the hinterland of the Yellow Turban, and the great sage and good teacher even led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the Tiger Prison, and with the help of God, how can more than 10,000 Han soldiers come to my Zhongmu?" How could the handsome be defeated by the Han army? ”

Sun Zhong's face was solemn, and he immediately asked, "Where is the person who fled back to carry the grain?" ”

The soldier said, "It's all in the city." ”

After Sun Zhong inquired one by one, his face was extremely grim and he returned to the account without saying a word.

Su Gu looked at Sun Zhong with a worried face, and he was a little flustered in his heart, and immediately said, "Brother Sun, do you think this is true?" Is the handsome really defeated in front of the Tiger Prison? ”

Sun Zhong sighed and said, "Dashuai, storming the Tiger Prison for more than 40 days, but the Yellow Turban army is no less than 100,000, and the Dashuai has been in poor health, and Zhongmu was my Yellow Turban hinterland before, how can more than 10,000 Han troops come here to rob grain, I'm afraid I'm only afraid of ......"

After hearing this, he was very anxious, "Then, then I will immediately set up an army to rescue the marshal, so good?" ”

Sun Zhong shook his head, sighed and said, "This is all rumors, our heavy responsibility is to guard Zhongmu, the marshal strictly ordered that we must not go out of the city for half a step, how can we lead the army out?" ”

Zheng Gu immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "Rumors, rumors, if this is the case, the handsome man is surrounded, how can we not save it?" ”

Sun Zhong sighed, "Brother Zhengu, don't worry, why don't I wait and send another army to investigate, what do you think?" ”

He nodded, "So good, very good, I don't know how many soldiers to send?" ”

Sun Zhongluo muttered, "If it is really a large army of the Han army, the two thousand soldiers will inevitably be broken by it, so that you can also be proud of the enemy's heart, at that time, we will lead the troops again, or it can be decided in a battle." ”

Zheng Gu nodded and said, "It's so good, it's up to Brother Sun!" ”

He was anxious to watch his henchman Wang Ban go out of Zhongmu with two thousand soldiers, and even severely reprimanded him and told him to be careful of ambush.

Guo Jia is worthy of being a resounding strategist in history for thousands of years, and the development of events turned out to be exactly the same as Guo Jia expected.

In front of the unparalleled fierce generals in the world, such as Lu Bu and Dian Wei, they fought more and fought less, and waited for work at ease, so they naturally killed the two thousand soldiers almost in an instant, and of course they also missed some soldiers, and let them go back to Zhongmu to report the news.

When Lu Bu was still about to chase and kill the soldiers who were scouting, Dian Wei shouted, "The general must not chase in a hurry, we must defend this place to prevent that horn from ......."

Zhongmu's door was still tightly closed, and Sun Zhong was also restless.

Half a day later, Wang Ban fled back to Zhongmu with more than 100 soldiers, Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu were shocked when they heard Wang Ban's announcement, it turned out that the news brought back by Wang Ban this time was even more shocking, and it turned out that the army on this road was the team that blocked the return of the Yellow Turban army.

According to Wang Ban, the mighty generals wanted to chase and kill Wang Ban, but the other general shouted, "The general must not chase after him, we must defend this place to prevent that horn ......."

Sun Zhong was stunned in his heart, and immediately asked, "How about preventing Dashuai?" ”

Wang Ban bowed his head and said, "I can't escape, I haven't heard the truth, please atone for your sins." ”

After Wang Ban left, Sun Zhong and Zheng Gu discussed, both of them were convinced that there were more than 10,000 Han troops in front of Zhongmu, and after the two analyzed what the general said, they concluded that I am afraid that the former commander of the Tiger Prison Pass was really defeated, and this army was the army that was killed from the Tiger Prison Pass, and stayed on this road to block the retreat of the Yellow Turban.

The more the two of them thought about it, the more reasonable they felt, otherwise there would be a Yellow Turban army all around, where would there be a Han army, and the ambush was thirty miles away from Zhongmu, which could be reached in a few hours, and there were still more than 10,000 soldiers left in Zhongmu City, and they were in the hinterland of the Yellow Turban, so they naturally had peace of mind.

The two of them did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to go to Peng Yu's place, wanting to raid Peng Yu's department to rescue the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao.
