Chapter 148: Infiltrating the Investigation

Quan Changyi was killed in battle, and the 5,000 elite cavalry only fled back more than 1,200 people, which can be described as a fiasco!

Fortunately, this is under Xu You's command, the military law is not so strict, the rights and responsibilities are clear, and everyone only needs to pay the price for their actions. If in the past, when he was in Xiliang, the lord would be killed in battle, and all the tribes who fled back would have to be buried together, and the consequence would be that the tribes would either fight to the death or surrender on the spot.

But for Xu You and Chu Guo, every veteran who has seen blood is precious, and the generals are incompetent, and they should not be held responsible, so even if they are defeated, there are only a very small number of soldiers who flee and surrender, and the few can be ignored.

Ming Jing learned of the battle situation, quickly moved forward, gathered the defeated troops, and set up a position, with strict military discipline and a posture of both offense and defense, forced back Wei Chixin and Li Chong, who tried to take advantage of the chaos to expand the results of the battle, and then stationed on the spot next to Yanming Lake, twenty miles away from Luzhuang, while scattering the scouts in groups, while waiting for the main force to arrive at the rendezvous.

At the end of the time, the flag in the distance covered the sun, the dust was flying, people were like insects and ants, meandering, the main force of the Chu army finally arrived at Yanming Lake, Xu You moved the Zhongjun Festival Hall to the front army tent of Mingjing, and then held an emergency military meeting.

Because the scouts of the Wei army had the absolute upper hand in the field, the scouts sent out by Ming Jing were unable to control the battlefield situation after hedging and losing in the middle of the night.

"Wei Chixin, a cavalry general from the third grade, is a famous family, a humble and noble relative, cold and arrogant to the top, irritable to the bottom, and loves to whip the soldiers. However, many years ago, King Yuanxing of Gaoyang rebelled in Bingzhou, and he only brought 500 cavalry to defeat Yuanxing's 60,000 army, and beheaded Yuanxing, which became famous all over the world. In this battle, he rushed left and right, and was shot dead by a total of five horses, so he is also known as the five horse generals! ”

Dong Zhi said to the famous generals under Yuan Mulan, "Wei Chixin is brave, but he is very cautious in using soldiers, not as reckless as Dugu Ping, and it is difficult to deal with." ”

Xu You leaned on the white tiger chair, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the side of his leg meaninglessly, and said, "What about Li Chong?" ”

"Li Chong, from the three products of Longwei Zhonglang General, was born in the Guanlong family, grew up in Pingcheng with his father since childhood, sensitive and intelligent, both civil and military. Later, he was recruited by Yuanguang as the main book of the shogunate, and went out to conquer the border towns. Its people are humble, know how to advance and retreat, in the six towns, every time they meet the generals, they all avoid the left side of the road, wait for the other party's carriage and horses to pass before they are willing to continue on the road, dare to take on heavy responsibilities to overcome difficulties in wartime, after the war, but hide aside, can not find it, the people of the Northern Dynasty play for the wood chicken Zhonglang"

Wooden chicken, like a wooden chicken, this is to ridicule Li Chong for only knowing how to work hard, not knowing how to fight, and being stupid like a wooden chicken.

Dong Zhi emphasized: "Don't be deceived by this title, Li Chong is not stupid, but he is very much loved by the middle and lower ranks of the Wei army, and it is more difficult to deal with than Wei Chixin." ”

After listening to the introduction of the winter solstice, everyone in the tent was silent, and everyone knew in their hearts that they had encountered a strong opponent this time, and Quan Changyi was also a famous general in Xiliang, and as a result, he died in this battle, which shows how powerful the opponent is.

However, this is not unexpected, the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been proven countless times for more than 100 years, and it is truly a famous general like rain, strong soldiers and strong horses, and it is a fierce tiger in the north.

Even if this is the weakest time for the tiger, when it shows its fangs and claws, whoever it is will still have to pay the price of blood.

"Let's discuss it!" Xu You's face was as pale as water, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

He Wei said: "The military division thinks that it should not take too long in Luzhuang, and it should be launched immediately, and then bury the pot to make rice after Luzhuang is laid." The total strength of Wei Chixin and Li Chong will not exceed 10,000, although looking at their banners and regulations, it may be as many as tens of thousands, but I expect him to be bluffing, so he is just a suspicious soldier, otherwise he would not have let go of more than 1,200 people in the advantageous battle situation of taking advantage of the favorable time, place and people. With our troops, we can crush the enemy, defeat or gather most of it, occupy Luzhuang, and then find out the enemy's situation and decide whether to attack Zhongmu. ”

Xu You nodded, looked at Tan Zhuo, and said, "What did Sima Mansion say?" ”

Tan Zhuo said: "I agree with the opinion of sacrificial wine!" The 100,000-strong army is here, if it confronts the enemy, it is not an overnight achievement, it is in vain, it is better to press it head-on, and with our troops, it is a sure victory. ”

Sima and the sacrificial wine had the same opinion, which almost meant that the battle plan was confirmed, Xu You pondered for a moment, and then asked Tan Xiaozu, "What do you see?" ”

Tan Xiaozu said: "Our army has an absolute advantage in troops, but there is one point, the terrain of Zhongmu must not be worried......"

Zhongmu has been alluvial by the Yellow River and the chasm water for many years, the territory of the hills, depressions are alternate, the landform is changeable, the overall overlook, the west is high and the east is low, the north and south are high and the middle is low, like an inclined cattle trough, forming a fan-shaped huge tear zone. And Luzhuang is at the intersection of this fan-shaped tear zone, breaking through Luzhuang, in front of which is the alluvial plain of a horse and a flat river, which is convenient for the large corps of the Chu army to deploy, of course, it is also convenient for the cavalry of the Wei army to cross and horizontally, and the advantages of the two sides cancel each other. But if it is blocked in Luzhuang, it is like adding fuel to the tactics, and the number of troops that can be used on the front line will be limited to a certain extent each time, and it is necessary to guard against the flank raid of the Wei cavalry at any time, which will be greatly disadvantageous to the Chu army.

Tan Xiaozu's meaning, in fact, is the same as Tan Zhuo and He Wei, it is also to defeat the enemy of Luzhuang as soon as possible, but because the terrain of Luzhuang is too important, Yuan Mulan will not give up easily, and he must be mentally prepared to attack the fortifications, and he can't feel that the superior forces will win - the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the death of Quan Changyi is a bloody lesson from the past.

"Okay, everyone agrees that we need to fight quickly, but as General Tan said, a quick battle may not be able to be resolved quickly!" Xu You's eyes were calm, and even if he was sitting, his slender figure seemed to be as majestic as a mountain, and said: "Yuan Mulan is a person who knows the soldiers, and since he has occupied such an important place as Luzhuang, he will not let go and spit it out." And in addition to knowing the two numbers of the other side, the troops, military branches, battalion defense and other arrangements are all obscure, knowing ourselves and the enemy, and we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but we don't know the enemy, how can we break the enemy? ”

Yuan Mulan deceived the eyes and ears of Chu State with a powerful reward for the whole city, thus covering up the actions of Wei Chixin and Li Chong, and perfectly completing the tactical intent.

This is the victory of the enemy's intelligence work, and now, the secret government needs to make a corresponding answer, and the winter solstice is quite stressed, but he still said without hesitation: "Give me an hour!" ”

Xu You believed that the winter solstice could complete the task, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "We suffered a big loss before, and the whole general was martyred, which reminds me and you: at any time, don't despise anyone on the battlefield!" ”

All the generals claimed that they were, and they were all solemn. Since the Western Expedition, the successive victories have indeed carried away their minds a little, especially this decisive battle with the Wei army, 150,000 against 50,000, three times the strength of the army, the ordnance and armor are abundant, the time and place are favorable by water and land, even if the most cautious people are, they will inevitably begin to be proud.

Quan Changyi's death was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's faces and hearts, extinguishing the pride and complacency that had just risen in an almost cruel way, and re-examining himself calmly.

"Send the order: the whole army rests in place, can disarm, prepare lunch, and have enough stomach to kill the enemy." After an hour, wait for the secret palace to get the information, and then come to discuss! ”

Of course, the disarming of the whole army is a trap that is not big or small, Xu You wants to try to see if he can lead Lieutenant Chi Xin or Li Chong to fight, so the outside is loose and the inside is tight, it seems that a large number of troops have dismantled their armor, sat on the ground, and waited for the meal in a mess, but in some places that are not easy to be seen by scouts, there are 20,000 elite soldiers who are ready to attack, baring their teeth and preparing to devour the enemy who dares to attack.

From the point of view of the art of war, this is actually the most favorable time for the cavalry to attack, there is no armor, there is no array, the infantry holding rice bowls instead of swords and guns is simply a flatbread smeared with meat sauce, how to look at how tender and delicious, but the cautious Wei Chixin and the steady Li Chong were not fooled, and there was no movement in the direction of the Wei army.

Fierce and suspicious, brave but not rushing,

It's very famous!

"Again, what's your name?"

Inside the tent, Dong Solstice looked at the majestic man in front of him, showing a rather satisfied look - it had nothing to do with the eyes of men and women, it was purely the feeling of being close to picking livestock in the cattle and horse market.

"Xi Ju, now the general of the Seventh Grade, accompanied by the general of Huwei Zhonglang to feast on Lishi, was ordered to inspect the camp."

This person's real name is Chengluhui, Xiliang Nationality, originally belonged to the Butterfly Division, six products of cultivation, good at concealment, spying, understand the languages of seven different ethnic groups, and the accent is pure, the appearance does not need to be mentioned, typical Hu style, sharp edges and corners, big eyes and high nose, rare is temperament, the Northern Wei Dynasty Dangnan's military uniform is covered on the body, the hand is pressed on the hilt, the eyes are resolute, it is really more like the Wei people than the Wei people.

"Does the general have a warrant?"

"What the fuck are you to ask for a warrant? Well? Do you know how to write the word yes, don't you want to live? ”

Chenglu's eyes are like cowbells, and the spitting stars represent respect and recognition of acting skills.

Dong Solstice couldn't help but applaud and said, "Good! ”

The next thing is the delicacy of the details, arranging the identity background of this character, which may not really be useful, just in case, if you encounter that unsightly question, you can delay it for the time being, and then find an opportunity to get out.

After tossing for another quarter of an hour, Chenglu would ride out of the camp, bypass the high hills, depressions and dense forests beside it, and then spent most of the hour approaching the right rear of the Wei army's garrison, and saw from a distance that dozens of servants were drawing water from wooden barrels next to the Cai River, and they were still playing with each other. ”

The head of the army didn't know whether he recognized the general's uniform, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and replied: "The villain is from the camp of the general Xiaocai, and I am ordered by the head to wait for me to come to the river to get water and prepare to make a fire to rebel, not a joke!" ”

Cheng Luhui whipped the whip in his hand and scolded: "I can still fake it when I see it with my own eyes? Say, today's password! ”

The head of the servant did not dare to dodge, and was whipped on the shoulder, his painful face was distorted, and said, "White Dragon! ”

"It's really the ...... in Brother Wei Chi's camp" Chenglu snorted coldly: "For my brother's sake, let you go, hurry up and get water back to the camp, don't play around here!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The servants didn't dare to say more, buried their heads in fetching water, Chenglu would clamp the horse's belly, leave the river, first abandon the horse on the spot, let it go to graze by itself, quietly from an inconspicuous place through the fence into the Wei army camp, coughed twice, turned out from behind the tent, just came over a team of patrolmen, he preemptively, said: "White Dragon!" ”

Standing at the head of the line, Wu Chang replied: "Get out of the water!" ”

Cheng Luhui nodded and walked away, and he swaggered around the Wei army's camp in this way, not even letting go of the dead corners of the toilets, and during this time, he also whipped five or six lashes each of the two soldiers who had a dispute over food. When the military situation was clear, I happened to hear that Wei Chixin was invited to a meeting by Li Chong, and he hadn't come back until now, so he suddenly had some special thoughts:

He had already seen Wei Chixin's big tent, because it was time to eat, there were only two soldiers standing guard at the door, one of them was clamping his legs, obviously he couldn't wait for the shift to come and peed his pants, and the other was drowsy with a spear in the warm autumn sun.

Perhaps, there is a real chance......

The adult deer will slowly approach, and his eyes will light up slightly.

Opportunity always favors those who are restless!

The soldier couldn't stand it anymore, and ran to the toilet to solve it, and the other finally closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a gust of wind, he opened it again, looked at both sides, and found nothing abnormal, his mouth muttered two words, and his eyelids began to fight slowly again.

The wind rose again, and the soldier opened his eyes again vigilantly, only to see the majestic back of the general who seemed to be from the Xi family!

(In the battle of Shayuan in the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, Da Xiwu of the Western Wei Dynasty mixed into the camp of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in this way, and left unharmed in a circle...... )
