Chapter 276: Persuade Wang Chang to surrender
When the encirclement and suppression of the Qiang led by Wang Chang came to an end, he suddenly heard that Guo Yan's soldiers and horses had rushed into the camp. He was deeply afraid that Li Dao would be in danger, so he left a military marquis and continued to clear the remaining Qiang people with 500 men and horses, while he himself rushed over with thousands of soldiers and horses.
When he was about to arrive at the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Chang suddenly saw Li Dao riding a horse galloping towards him. When he got closer, he found that Li Dao's left face was covered with blood, and he couldn't help but ask in horror: "Da Sima, are you injured?" ”
"Hit a cold arrow." Li Dao said coldly at Wang Chang: "You quickly block Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, and I will go and gather the men and horses of the rear camp to counterattack." ”
Wang Chang left a team of cavalry to protect Li Dao, and he took the rest of his soldiers and horses to meet Guo Yan's army who rushed into the camp, and the two sides started a melee in the camp.
It was none other than Guo Yan who shot Li Wei. He thought that after Li Dao was hit by an arrow, Li Dao's army would immediately collapse, but who knew that a detachment of men and horses suddenly appeared and blocked his army alive. Don't look at the large number of Guo Yan's troops, but the men and horses led by Wang Chang are desperate, so that they can no longer continue to advance.
Wang Chang, who blocked Guo Yan, bought time for Li Dao to mobilize troops and horses. However, with a stick of incense, the assembled Li Daojun rushed towards Guo Yan's army from all directions. Seeing the arrival of the main force of Li Weijun's army, Guo Yan knew that he had missed the opportunity, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart, and then ordered the army to retreat.
However, Wang Chang's performance made Guo Yan's eyes shine. He knew that after a series of battles, there were fewer and fewer military generals available to Li Dao's subordinates, and Wang Chang was the best of the remaining military generals, if he could persuade him to submit to himself, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of Li Dao's arms.
After Guo Yan returned to his camp, he immediately summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter, and said to them: "If Wang Chang hadn't suddenly led his troops to kill today, it is estimated that Li Wei's life would have been lost. Is there any way you can persuade Wang Chang to return to General Shunben? ”
After everyone was silent for a long time, a military commander asked, "General, my subordinates want to ask, if you want to recruit Wang Chang, what official position do you plan to give him?" ”
"He is now a cavalry lieutenant under Li Dao." Regarding the question of the military commander, Guo Yan thought for a while and replied: "If Wang Chang is willing to submit to the general, he can be given the position of captain." ”
"As a school captain, maybe Wang Chang will not be satisfied." Jun Sima said with some hesitation: "From the perspective of his subordinates, let him be a general, maybe it will make him tempted." ”
"It's up to you to make him a general." In order to win over Wang Chang, Guo Yan said decisively: "I don't know who is willing to take the risk of sneaking into Li Wei's camp and persuading Wang Chang to surrender?" ”
When Jun Sima heard Guo Yan say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, my subordinates are willing to take on this important responsibility." ”
When Guo Yan heard that Jun Sima was willing to persuade Wang Chang to return to Shun, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I don't know when Jun Sima plans to go to Li Wei's camp and persuade Wang Chang to return to this general?" ”
"General, please don't be impatient." For Guo Yan, who was a little impatient, Jun Sima said: "There is some strange infighting in Li Dao's military camp today, and we must first find out what happened. ”
"Reasonable, reasonable." Regarding this statement of the military Sima, Guo Yan immediately expressed his agreement: "The inexplicable infighting in Li Dao's military camp today must have a reason, and we must find out." You immediately send someone to infiltrate Li Dao's army to find out what happened. ”
Like Guo Yanjun, Li sent people to the nearby woods every day to cut wood. The spies sent by Jun Sima mixed in with these soldiers who were chopping wood and infiltrated Li Dao's military camp.
Because Li Dao and the two had a deep friendship before, the personal relationship between the officers and men of the two armies was also good. After the spies infiltrated the camp, they immediately went to the gang's house to find out what was going on.
The spy was lucky, his fellow villagers were cooking on a fire outside the house at the moment, and when they saw his appearance, they couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then pointed at him and said, "Aren't you in Da Sima's army?" ”
"Silence!" The spy hurriedly stepped forward to cover his fellow countryman's mouth and whispered, "If someone else hears it, the little brother's life will be difficult to protect." ”
When the man heard this, he nodded and asked, "What are you doing in our camp?" ”
The spies looked left and right, and when they saw that there was no one nearby, they lowered their voices and said, "Before our army attacked the village, we heard shouts of killing in the village, but I don't know what happened?" ”
"It is said that the Qiang people are going to rebel." The man leaned close to the spies' ears and whispered, "Therefore, Da Sima ordered Wang Chang, the commander of the cavalry, to lead thousands of men and horses to clear them out ......"
Hearing that it was the Qiang people who were encircling and suppressing the Qiang people who were trying to rebel, the spy asked puzzledly: "Since the Qiang people are going to rebel, then the matter must be extremely secretive, how can the Great Sima know about it and send someone to clear it in advance?" ”
"You don't know," the man said in a bit of a panic: "A few days ago, Da Sima sent his younger brother Li Ying to Hangu Pass to take over the defense, but who knew that he was killed. ”
"Ah, someone killed Da Sima's younger brother?" The news surprised the spy, and he asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”
"Who else can it be, it's the soldiers and horses of Jizhou." The man said with some disdain: "After they killed Da Sima's younger brother, they also released all the captured Qiang people back, and let them spread rumors in the camp, saying that Da Sima was a rebellion, and if they continued to follow Da Sima, sooner or later their families would be affected." After those Qiang people heard the rumors, they wanted to leave the camp and return to Xiliang, how could Da Sima let them leave at such a time, so he ordered Wang Qidu Lieutenant to clear them......"
After figuring out what was going on, the spies took advantage of the night to sneak out of the camp through the crack in the fence and ran towards Guo Yan's camp with their legs drawn.
When Guo Yan heard that the spies had returned, he immediately summoned him to the tent and couldn't wait to ask, "Can you find out what happened in Li Daojun's camp and why there was internal strife?" ”
"General Qiqi, the little one has already inquired about the matter clearly." When the spy heard Guo Yan's inquiry, he told him what he knew.
After listening to the spies' report, the generals in the tent finally understood what was going on. It was no wonder that his soldiers and horses rushed into Li Dao's camp so easily, it turned out that they were in the midst of internal strife at that time, so that the defense of individual parts of the camp was weak, so that they could succeed so easily.
Although Guo Yan is a little worse in terms of strategy, he is also an old and cunning guy, and he heard that Li Weijun's morale was shaken because of rumors, and he couldn't help but arouse vigilance. He hurriedly called a cavalry lieutenant and instructed him: "Send men to strengthen the patrol in the camp at once, and if anyone spreads rumors without permission, they will be immediately killed." ”
The cavalry lieutenant agreed, turned and left the tent, and went outside to form a new patrol with men, and tried to eliminate the rumors that were unfavorable to the army.
After the cavalry lieutenant left, Guo Yan looked at his subordinates again and asked, "Which of you is willing to go to Li Wei's army and persuade Wang Chang to surrender?" ”
Hearing Guo Yan's question, the tent suddenly became quiet. Since listening to the report of the spies, everyone suddenly realized that going to Li Wei's camp to persuade Wang Chang to surrender was a matter of losing their heads, so they all remained silent, and no one was willing to express their position easily.
Seeing that his subordinates didn't speak, Guo Yan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he slapped the table in front of him hard.
When the encirclement and suppression of the Qiang led by Wang Chang came to an end, he suddenly heard that Guo Yan's soldiers and horses had rushed into the camp. He was deeply afraid that Li Dao would be in danger, so he left a military marquis and continued to clear the remaining Qiang people with 500 men and horses, while he himself rushed over with thousands of soldiers and horses.
