Chapter 258: A Suspicious Soldier's Plan

There are many evils in the army, and all the officers are recruited. When lying on the drum, the suspicious soldier unsaddled at the saddle. ---------Sui. Xue Daoheng's "Out of the Stopper. High Autumn White Dew Regiment》

It is said that Ma Teng, with his bravery, led the Xiliang soldiers of his headquarters out of the customs to fight, and defeated Yang Ren in one fell swoop, and he couldn't help but be complacent. It's a pity that there is no effective strategist around him, and he has the idea of underestimating the enemy, so he mistakenly fell into the tricks of the Han Chinese army and was dragged by Yang Ren's troops to the suburbs of Mianxian County, which is hundreds of miles away from Yangping Pass.

The army of Zhang Wei and Yang Ang landed behind Ma Teng's army, recovered Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, and set a death trap on Ma Teng's way back. Ma Teng rescued and cared about it, and was in the middle of Yang Ang's ambush, but was shot through his shoulder by a cold arrow, and fled to the shore of the Han River. The river is vast, and there is no life-saving boat, so Ma Teng and his few remaining subordinates were shot alive and made into hedgehogs. Ma Teng's body died without blinking his eyes, and he fell by the beautiful sand dunes by the Han River, and a generation of Xiliang overlords returned to the sky.

Yang Ang waved his knife to cut off Ma Teng's head, and ordered the class teacher to return. That night, horses and sheep were slaughtered in Yangping Pass, and the Hanzhong soldiers claimed to have annihilated the Ma Teng defenders, and their morale was unprecedentedly high. After Zhang Wei celebrated the victory, he ordered the army to rest for three days, and sent troops three days later to copy the back road of Chen Longnan's Zheng army.

Ma Teng had three sons and one daughter, and the three sons were all taken by Ma Teng this time, intending to increase their combat experience. Ma Tie followed Ma Chao as a pioneer in the front army, and his youngest son Ma Xiu was still young, and Ma Teng was always by his side. There is also the youngest daughter Ma Yunluo, who is fifteen years old, born with a flower and moon appearance, and the courage of ten thousand people, a silver spear makes a supernatural spirit, and the eldest brother Ma Chao is on par with Ma Teng, this time Ma Teng left with his mother in Chang'an and did not go on the expedition. When Ma Teng's army was scattered in ambush, Ma Xiu couldn't return to the pass, and he couldn't find his father, so he changed into a peasant attire, hurriedly escaped, asked for the road all the way, and hurriedly chased after Chen Long's army.

When Pang Dejun took advantage of the night to erect a pontoon bridge and secretly cross the river, it was the day of Ma Teng's death, and when Ma Chao and Pan Jun crossed the river, Pang Dejun had already had a contact battle with the Hanzhong army on the other side of the river, desperately defending the safety of the pontoon bridge. When Ma Xiu caught up with Chen Long's brigade, Chen Long's army had arrived at the outskirts of Nanzheng County, which was only 100 miles away from the Hanjiang River moat, and was shocked to hear that Yangping Pass had fallen, and Ma Teng's life and death were unknown.

Ma Xiu was only 17 years old, and at this moment, with tears in his eyes, he stood in Chen Long's military tent, begging Chen Long to send troops to save his father. Chen Long comforted him in every possible way, gave people a seat, and promised to find a way immediately, and Ma Xiu was at ease. Zhang He, Gao Shun, Xun You and others all hurried over, Lu Chang and Zhou Budo were by their side, and Chen Long asked Ma Xiu to tell the story of the fall of Yangping Pass.

The generals were shocked to hear the bad news, and they all gasped, and Zhou Budo said in surprise: "With such a plan, there must be capable people around Zhang Lu." It's all my fault for not being able to prepare in advance, and this is also the mistake of our military advisors. Chen Long waved his hand and said: "I don't blame the past today, just talk about how to break the game." Now there is a defense line on the Han River in front of the road, and the Yangpingguan passage is being attacked and taken behind, and the slightest hesitation will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy. What should we do for now?" Although the situation was critical, Long Chen's tone was still very calm.

The soldiers instigated one, and the generals instigated a nest, and the subordinates saw that Chen Long was calm and calm, and they all put down their hearts, and at the same time their minds became flexible. Gao Shun said first: "My lord, even if I am trapped in the camp and broken, if Zhang Wei's Hanzhong army dares to copy my back road from Yangping Pass, discipline him and have no return." Zhang He was silent, obviously preferring to fight forward rather than defending at the back.

Chen Long knew that Gao Shun and Zhang He were both famous generals with both wisdom and bravery, a few grades higher than Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and the like, so he nodded and said, "What did Gongda Military Master say?"

Xun You saw the lord's name, no longer hesitated, and replied: "General Gao's headquarters is trapped in the camp, and he has always been invincible. However, listening to what General Matthew said, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang's troops were quite numerous, and this was a situation in which the Hanzhong army wanted to attack from front to back, and it was necessary to guard against it. General Gao Shun has few soldiers, and if he fights head-on, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory. Now that it is expected that Zhang Weijun will come to chase after him, let's simply lay out a big pocket that can wipe out 20,000 people, otherwise wouldn't it be a disappointment for Zhang Wei to bring so many people to death? As for General Ma Teng's whereabouts, let's investigate while fighting. ”

Seeing that all the generals were digesting Xun You's words, Chen Long said: "What does Gongda mean is to completely annihilate the pursuing enemy, and the whole army will focus on the rear?"

Xun You nodded and said: "The enemy must think that when our army hears that Yangping Pass has fallen, it will definitely go all out to capture Hanzhong County in order to gain a foothold for the army." Once our army is unfavorable in attacking the city, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the rear will be flanked by Zhang Wei's army, and it will definitely not be able to take care of both the end and the end, if there is a problem with grain and grass, the whole army will be on the verge of collapse. Zhou Budo nodded and said, "This should be Zhang Lu's wishful thinking." ”

Xun You saw that everyone looked thoughtful, and continued: "Although their calculations are loud, they ignore that Zhang Lu does not have absolute attack ability in the front, one Ma Chao is enough to harass and resist at least a month, we can completely turn around and deal with Zhang Wei with all these 40,000 Blue Dragon Army, which will definitely make him suffer a big loss, and even annihilate the whole army." ”

Everyone listened suddenly, and Matthew asked, "Will Zhang Wei really raise soldiers to chase after him?" If he sticks to Yangping Pass and doesn't come out, our pocket array will not be a waste of energy, but will delay the time to move forward. ”

Gao Shun also said: "If Zhang Wei does not move, we are really in a dilemma." Moreover, Pang De's army has already crossed the river to fight, and Ma Chaojun and Pan Junjun are also about to cross the river, and the lone army is deep, if there is no follow-up army support, I am afraid that it will be limited to the hands of Zhang Lu's army on the other side of the river, and it will not last long. After that, he also looked at Long Chen.

Chen Long listened to the words of several people, and knew that this decision would affect the battle situation of the Hanzhong War. He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and looked at Zhou Budo and said, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"

Zhou Budo hurriedly said: "What Gongda and the generals said are reasonable. This balance between forward and backward seems to be the most difficult to master, but since Zhang Lu is in charge, it seems that we can use suspicious soldiers to confront each other, so that Zhang Lu does not dare to fight across the river, and that's it. In this way, we can deal with Zhang Wei in the rear with all our might, even if Zhang Wei does not move, we must find a way to fish him out and recapture Yangping Pass. ”

Chen Long nodded slightly, and he already had a certain number in his heart. Now that the battle is full, the total strength is not much different from Zhang Lu, and the elite is still excessive, but after all, they are the home field. After thinking about it, he finally spoke: "Although Zhang Wei attacked Yangping Pass and blocked the retreat of our army, if you think about it carefully, you are also suspected of dividing your troops. Now the main force of the Hanzhong army is divided into two parts, each part is half of the force, if it is not well coordinated before and after, it will bring various opportunities for our army to break through. The generals nodded their heads in agreement.

"Now, the former army Pound has crossed the river, so he can hold out for a few more days, pretend to be invincible, and retreat to the south bank to defend. Ma Chaojun should have responded on the spot and set up suspicious soldiers, so that Zhang Lu thought that our army was pressing the river, but his father was involved, so Pan Jun could lead the army to meet Pang De, and Zhang He led 5,000 troops to the Han River, and set up more flags, creating the illusion that our army had arrived on the south bank, so that Ma Chao could lead his army back and follow me to fight Zhang Wei to find his father's whereabouts. ”

"If we suspect the plan of the Hanzhong army, Zhang Wei knows that our army is attacking the Han River defense line, he will be ready to move, thinking that the main force of our army is pressing on the front line of the Han River, the rear defense must be empty, and he can take advantage of a lot of advantages, and he will come back with his troops. When the time comes, we will attack with heavy troops, defeat Zhang Wei in one fell swoop, recapture Yangping Pass, and eliminate at least half of the main force in Hanzhong. All the generals nodded yes.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Long ordered: "The generals will listen to the order!" A group of subordinates stood up and obeyed the order. Chen Long cleared his throat and continued: "Zhang He led the army of 5,000 troops, mostly with banners and straw men, horns and war drums, to find Pan Jun on the Han River, and set up suspicious soldiers along the coast together. Chang Ma Chao brought back 10,000 cavalry, and the rest was temporarily handed over to Ma Dai to command, and he took Pang De back to the south bank to help set up suspicious soldiers to create momentum. Zhang He got up and said, "Obey." ”

"Gao Shun led the headquarters to trap 5,000 people in the camp, Xun Yu was the military division, and immediately returned to Yangping Pass, if he encountered Zhang Wei's army, he would be defeated and abandon the grain and grass, so that Zhang Wei thought that my army was unprepared." Gao Shun and Xun You gave the order.

"After Ma Chao's cavalry came back, I brought my own army to ambush on the left flank, Ma Chao and Zhou Budo ambushed on the right flank, waiting for Zhang Wei to chase Gao Shun's army and enter the pocket of our army. Ma Xiu, when the time comes, you and your eldest brother Ma Chao, although they will lead the Xiliang soldiers to pursue and rush to Yangping Pass, looking for news of their father. If you can recapture Xiongguan, I will count your Ma family army as a great achievement! With the assistance of Zhou Junshi, Wang Ma Chao acted according to his strategy! ”

When Matthew heard this, he was grateful, and stood up and bowed to him. Chen Long commanded properly, and slapped a few cases violently: "No matter how cunning the prey is, it can't escape the trap of a good hunter." This time, we are going to capture Zhang Wei alive and force Zhang Lu to surrender! ”
