Chapter 169: Take the initiative to withdraw the troops
When Han Cheng finished speaking softly to Zhang Quan with a harmless appearance.
He immediately turned his head and instructed Pan Feng, who was leading the army: "Let Tanma Duoduo investigate the situation around him, and then let the soldiers rest for half an hour." ”
Han Cheng thought that in half an hour, Zhang Quan would finish the matter.
Unexpectedly, Han Cheng overestimated Zhang Quan's courage, and the knife was a little ruthless.
When Zhang Quan told Han Cheng the ins and outs of the matter, a full hour passed.
Of course, in this hour, in addition to saying some major things, Zhang Quan also said some miscellaneous trivial things.
Han didn't want to listen to it, but he could only listen to it patiently.
Because Han Cheng felt that he suddenly became stern, and let Zhang Quan say the key point, it was likely to scare Zhang Quan into saying something, and it would be worth the loss.
After Zhang Quan finished speaking, Han Cheng rubbed his ears and said to the soldier who had just drawn his knife: "Just pull half of it next time, it's too scared, my ears are too offended." ”
At this time, Fu Zhu said to Han Cheng: "Lord, what happened has been clear, it must be Yang Feng and others who are obstructing us and want to harm us by the hands of the Xiliang Army."
However, this matter involves His Majesty the Emperor, and it is more tricky.
If we obey the order, we will inevitably tear apart the Xiliang army again; If we don't obey orders, Yang Feng and others will inevitably label us a 'great disrespect'.
We can't listen, we can't listen. ”
Since Han Cheng became the pastor of the state, his vision has become much sharper.
Through Zhang Quan's narration, Han Cheng felt that among them, not only Yang Feng and others were the only ones who made a stumbling block, but also Emperor Han Xian's own meaning.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to send a chief eunuch?
Han Cheng thought about it for a while, and the reason came out: Emperor Han Xian didn't believe in his own desire to save the driver, after all, Han Cheng's merger with the state was what Li Dao meant, and Emperor Han Xian just had to do it.
Thinking of this, Han Cheng smiled silently in his heart: "It seems that Emperor Han Xian left Chang'an, and he exposed his true nature, and he is not a 'peaceful' lord." It's just that I underestimate Han Cheng too much, I will definitely make him suffer a little, otherwise, Emperor Han Xian still doesn't believe in himself. ”
Han Cheng frowned, thought about it, and ordered: "Pan Feng, you lead the five hundred Heavenly Dragon Guards, hurry to the crossing of the Yellow River in the north, and destroy all the ships there." If anyone stands in the way, he will not be spared. ”
Then, as if he had been wronged, he said to Frustration: "Changshi, since Your Majesty won't let us go to Shaanxi County to see the driver, how about we go home?" ”
After Han Cheng finished speaking, in a few breaths, Fu Zhu understood what Han Cheng meant.
Since it is not okay to listen to orders, it is not okay not to obey orders, so it is better to simply leave.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no ships, so he could not cross the Yellow River, and when Li Dao and others led the Xiliang army arrived, how could Yang Feng and others resist?
When the time comes, I won't know Han Cheng's heart to save the driver.
Sometimes, people, like this, come all the way to help you, and it feels as if they want to rob you of your credit; When you understand that people really want to help you, it's late, and the daylilies are cold.
He gave Han Cheng a thumbs up and said in admiration, "It's still the lord." ”
As a result, the army of the Fenwu Army, under the special arrangement of Frustration, left in the direction of Bingzhou with great fanfare.
Before leaving, Han Cheng put Zhang Quan back and asked Zhang Quan to bring a sentence to Yang Feng and the others - "The cost of my Fenwu Army's troops is terrible, and if you can't afford it, don't try it." ”
After Zhang Quan returned to Shaanxi County, he told Yang Feng and others the whereabouts of the Fenwu Army and Han Cheng's words, and after the five of them listened, Yang Feng slapped the table and said angrily: "Hmph, he Han Cheng really thinks that he is an invincible general." We still have 20,000 troops in our hands, so why should he Han Cheng worry about it? Even if I die on the battlefield, I won't beg him. ”
The other four just listened quietly and didn't say a word.
......
In the barracks of the Xiliang Army, Li Dao has a big tent.
A scout came to report: "Early this morning, the army of the Fenwu Army marched rapidly in the direction of Shaanxi County for an hour.
When he was about to arrive in Shaanxi County, he met three envoys sent by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
After the three of them said a few words in front of the army, Han Cheng rushed from the Chinese army and directly killed one person.
After that, the whole army of Fenwu rested, and the envoy sent by Emperor Han Xian chatted with Han Cheng in the carriage for half an hour.
After Han Cheng came out, the Fenwu army divided into two routes, with more than 500 people all the way, and headed towards the direction of the Yellow River crossing in the north; Most of the remaining soldiers left in the direction of the annexed state. ”
After listening to Tanma's report, Li Wei said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go and investigate again, and come back as soon as I have any information." ”
But in his heart, he said happily: "God really helps me." ”
said to the soldiers outside the big tent: "You quickly go and tell Guo Yan, the two generals of Zhang Ji, that the Fenwu army has retreated north, and it is time for our Xiliang army to attack." ”
Then he said to the herald: "Let the army assemble, and after half an hour, the whole army will attack and point directly at Shaanxi County." ”
When Li Ji's Tanma told Li Ji the news of the Fenwu Army's withdrawal, Zhang Ji's Tanma also told Zhang Ji the same news.
After Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu listened, he said to Zhang Ji: "Uncle, I think the withdrawal of the Fenwu Army is too sudden, and there must be a plan."
I guess that after a while, Li Dao will unite with his uncle and Guo Yan and lead the army to attack.
The little nephew has a plan here, which can break through the gate of Shaanxi County in half a day. ”
Zhang Ji said to Zhang Xiu: "I also think that the withdrawal of the Fenwu Army is not so simple, can you first tell me how to break through the gate of Shaanxi County in half a day?" This one is more anxious. ”
Zhang Xiu replied: "This is simple, after we lead the army to Shaanxi County, we will first put on the appearance of attacking the city.
Then let General Li Wei go out and severely suppress the imperial army in Shaanxi County in terms of morale.
Then the soldiers were divided into three roads, respectively surrounding the west gate, north gate and south gate of Shaanxi County, leaving only one east gate to Yang Feng and others in the city.
Seeing that there was no enemy outside the east gate, Yang Feng and the others would definitely lead the army out of the east gate.
As long as the three generals of Uncle and Li Dao and Guo Yan arranged their men and horses outside the east gate early, they would definitely be able to annihilate the team of Yang Feng and others in one fell swoop. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Ji smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good boy, good strategy." The three of us will look into it in a moment. ”
At this moment, Li Dao's personal soldiers asked to see him outside the tent.
Zhang Ji said, "Let him come in." ”
When Li Ji's personal soldiers and Zhang Ji finished conveying Li Dao's words, Zhang Ji immediately gave an order: "The army is assembled." ”
Half an hour later, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others stood on the platform, and Li Dao shouted to the soldiers below: "Brothers, Emperor Xian is in Shaanxi County."
Take out your courage and break through Shaanxi County in one fell swoop, and after returning to Chang'an, we can continue to enjoy our lives, but now, attack! ”
The Xiliang army marched towards Shaanxi County.
In Shaanxi County, when the Xiliang army was assembled, Yang Feng and others' tanma hurried back to Shaanxi County to report.
After Yang Feng and others heard the report, they actively prepared for the war.
When the Xiliang army was still ten miles away from Shaanxi County, Dong Cheng, who was in charge of managing the grain and grass, said to the other four people: "Our grain and grass can last for three days at most." ”
Yang Feng was shocked and said, "What's the matter?" What about our grain and grass? I remember when I came out of Chang'an, I brought a lot of grain and grass. ”
Dong Cheng replied: "On the way from Caoyang County to Shaanxi County, a lot of our baggage has been discarded because of the pursuit of Li Dao and others. ”
This can be regarded as an answer to Yang Feng's question.
Then he said: "The daily consumption of 20,000 troops is a huge amount, and there is not much food in Shaanxi County, and I can only make the army last for three days after careful calculation." In fact, according to the current food in the city, it is only two and a half days' food at most. ”
Yang Feng and the others were panicked, what should they do if they have no food and grass?
What these five people didn't know was that Han Cheng and Fu Zhi saw this and decisively chose to withdraw their troops.
After Li Dao and others led the Xiliang army to the city of Shaanxi, they did not immediately attack Shaanxian County, but according to Zhang Xiu's plan, they put on the appearance of attacking the city under the city, and let Yang Feng and others come out to talk.
Yang Feng and the others didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Dao's gourd, so they didn't dare to go out of the city gate to talk, so they could only talk to Li Dao at the head of the city.
I only heard Li Dao shouting loudly: "Yang Feng, you were originally the commander of the Yellow Turban and White Bo Army.
I saw that you were honest, so I took you under my command.
Unexpectedly, you actually rebelled against me and set up your own door.
I, Li Dao, are here today to say that I will not leave any prisoners in this battle. Those who follow Yang Feng will definitely be killed. ”
Yang Feng thought that this was what Li Dao wanted to use the strength of the Xiliang Army to give himself a look.
At this time, you must regain face in your momentum, otherwise the two sides will fight, and the impact on the morale of your soldiers will be very serious.
Yang Feng thought about it, and then counterattacked Li Dao's words from a general point of view, only to hear Yang Feng say: "As a courtier, I only know that I am loyal to Your Majesty and take Your Majesty's safety as my own responsibility.
You are a rebel and thief who wants to threaten Your Majesty for personal gain, how can I let you get your wish? I'm going to stop you. ”
Li Wei smiled calmly and said, "Hmph, I'm a rebel and a thief? You let Your Majesty come out and let him tell him, who is the rebel and thief? ”
Of course, Yang Feng didn't dare to let Emperor Han Xian come out to talk to Li Dao.
One is worried that there are too many hidden arrows under the city, and they can't defend themselves, if Emperor Han Xian doesn't have it, there will be no hole cards in his hand.
The second is that Yang Feng couldn't guess what Emperor Shouxian would say when he came out.
Li Dao waited under the city for a while, and saw that Yang Feng and the others didn't say a word.
returned to the army, and said to Guo Yan and Zhang Ji: "Brothers, Yang Feng and the others have been almost scared by me, let's act according to the plan, right?" ”
"Good!" After the two of them replied with a 'good' word, they headed in the direction of their own army.
