Chapter 32: Wang Ping's camp attacked Weicheng, and Guo Huai hid four benefits in his chest

Wei Yuan returned to the tent to prepare for a while, and informed Niu Mang of the need to send a letter for thousands of miles, Niu Mang was overjoyed when he heard it, and said: "If I don't kill Wei Dog for a long time, I have already been itchy and unbearable." ”

Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "This time to send the letter, I am afraid that the virtuous brother will not be able to go with his brother." ”

As soon as the words fell, Niu Mang suddenly said angrily: "Why is this? ”

Wei Yuan smiled: "Brother Fool has arranged a new errand for you. After that, he grabbed Niu Mang and whispered, only to hear Niu Mang's eyes glow.

After Wei Yuan finished speaking, he instructed: "Brother fool will protect you in front of the general, and this time my brother will definitely kill the general." ”

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely twist that guy's head off for my brother to see." Niu Mang smiled heartily.

"Quietly! This matter must not be told to outsiders now. Wei Yuan commanded.

Niu Mang suddenly closed his voice, and at this moment, the tent curtain was together, and a person walked straight into the tent, and the person who came was An Han Hou Wang Ping, who was the general of the post. "The last general has seen the general."

Wei Yuan and the two of them clasped their fists and saluted at the same time. Wang Ping glanced at Niu Mang a few times and asked, "You are Niu Mang Niu Jinshang?" ”

Niu Mang nodded and said, "I will be Wuyang Niu Mangye." ”

"Brother you say that you have the courage of ten thousand people, and guarantee that you will succeed with a military order in front of me, can you be sure?"

Niu Mang said proudly: "How can the local chicken tile dog be an axe? ”

"If it is done, I will not be stingy with the reward." After Wang Ping finished speaking, without waiting for Niu Mang's answer, he turned his head to Wei Yuan and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "It's all ready." ”

"Okay," Wang Ping said, "and come with me." After speaking, he raised his legs and walked out of the tent.

Wei Yuan walked out of the tent with Wang Ping, only to see a soldier leading two horses standing outside the tent, and the bows and arrows, water bladders, and grain and grass on the saddle were all ready.

Wei Yuan stepped forward and pressed the horse's back with his hand, but the horse did not move at all. Wei Yuan exclaimed: "I don't want to have such a good horse in the army!" ”

Wang Ping said: "This is a certain mount, a good horse in the Western Regions, I bought two horses with a lot of money a year ago, all here." ”

"General, this is absolutely unacceptable." Wei Yuan waved his hand hurriedly.

"The lives of 20,000 soldiers, now I am in your hands, how can I not give up a few livestock?" Wang Ping stretched out his hand, took out a good secret box from his arms and said: "This is a token, the general will know it as soon as he sees it." Then he handed the secret box to Wei Yuan's hand and said, "Please leave everything to Ziliang." ”

"The general is at ease, and he will live up to the military order." Wei Yuan said that, turned over his horse, and said to Niu Mang: "When I am not there, you need to be patient, and you must not argue with others at will. ”

"Brother, don't worry, there is already a war, and I don't bother to find a bunch of scumbags." Niu Mang smiled.

"Good! In this case, the elder brother waited for the news that the virtuous brother had killed the thief general. After finishing speaking, his legs were clamped, and the BMW under his crotch immediately shot out, one person and two horses, and he had left the gate in an instant.

After Wang Ping saw Wei Yuan leaving, he said to the generals behind him: "Since Liao Yuan and his party, it is time for us to leave." ”

"Hu Ling!"

"The last general!"

"How much grain and grass do you have in the army?"

"General, there are 650,000 stones of grain and 4,100 stacks of forage. There were 103,000 arrows, 4,000 bows, 5,600 spears, and the rest were a few siege equipment. ”

"Feng Ai!" Wang Ping said by name.

"The last general!"

"Is the ship ready?"

"General, there are twenty-two ships and one hundred and fifty civilian ships, and they can reach the riverside at noon."

"It's too slow, give the order, and in an hour I will see the ship by the river."

"Whoa!"

"Wei Ran, Wu Fei, Zhang Jie, Zhao Ting!"

"The last general!" The four generals bowed together.

"Recruit a lot of people, and all the grain and grass materials will be loaded into the ship before the dark."

"General, there are a lot of supplies, it will be difficult to complete the loading before dark, I don't know if the general can ......"

"Hugh has to say more, if it is not finished before dark, you will come and see you later!"

"Whoa!"

…………

With Wang Ping's orders one by one, the entire rear army was mobilized. Wei Ran and a few people even forcibly recruited fifty percent of all the people to transport materials together, and those who could use ox carts and donkeys and camels directly used camels, and in the end, they completely relied on people to carry them on their shoulders. Even so, it was only at night that they were all loaded onto the ship.

After the troops were assembled, Wang Ping boarded the bow of the ship and directly ordered the ship to sail.

Hu Ling was shocked and asked, "We haven't arranged for the people who transported grain to get on the ship, ...... on this way?"

Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "That's it, we need to act quickly on this trip, and we can't carry people to transport grain." Then he said, "We are here to save the Qiang people, and there must be some manpower among the Qiang people who can be driven, right?" Don't worry. ”

At this time, Feng Ai stepped forward and asked, "General, I don't know what the purpose of my trip is?" The last general should also make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"Just give the order to drive the boat north with all your might, and you will know it then."

At this time, on the fork in the official road more than 400 miles away from the five cities, more than 100 Wei troops had already set up checkpoints here and set up a strong battle to resist the land (Note 2). His uncle was speaking in a high-spirited manner

"The general has an order, within ten days, no one can be let go of this place, therefore, everyone must cheer up, if anyone does not pay attention to let people go, a certain grandson and two dogs said to do it, you must have your head." Sun Ergou slipped back and forth a few steps, and said: "All the people should open their eyes for me to take a closer look, don't let me catch you lazy, otherwise I will make Ru Wu's knife cut your head without ambiguity!" ”

At this moment, Sun Ergou suddenly noticed that a soldier had his eyes wide open, staring straight at him, or had something to say, so he asked, "Do you have any objections to what I said?" ”

"Dubo, there's two horses ahead." The soldier pointed to the official road.

Sun Ergou turned around and saw two horses in the distance, one after the other, trotting straight towards the sentry post, but there was no one on the horseback.

Sun Ergou was overjoyed and said: "I don't want to have such a harvest today, so I will catch the horses as soon as possible, and everyone will be rewarded." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they smiled happily, and they all turned over the rejection and hurried up one by one.

As the two horses approached, a soldier suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something under the horse's belly, so he fixed his eyes and couldn't help but shout: "There is someone on the horse!" ”

The Wei army was shocked, and before they could react, they saw a person in the rear who turned over under the belly of the horse, and was already riding on the horse, and then rushed straight up with people and horses. Before the Wei army could react, he had already opened the bow left and right with the blade in his hand and killed several people in a row, and then directly rushed to the rejection of the land, only to see that this person was getting closer and closer to the rejection, but he did not react at all. Just when the Wei army was overjoyed and thought that it was about to collide head-on with the rejection of the land, it burst into a loud shout, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand was directly stretched out, directly piercing the rejection, and then violently picked up the rejection and threw it directly aside, and then the two horses rushed straight into the sentry post.

"Stop, someone is ordered to keep this, and no one can pass from here!" Sun Ergou shouted and rushed forward with a spear in hand.

The man laughed, the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand slammed out, and the spear in Sun Ergou's hand was suddenly shocked and flew away, before Sun Ergou could react, the three-pointed two-edged knife had already rushed straight to him, and a good head suddenly rose in the air, and red blood spurted straight out of his neck, and then his body swayed and fell under the horse. But the man couldn't see it, after the man turned Sun Ergou into a dead dog with a knife, he drove his horse straight forward, and in a blink of an eye, he had already rushed out of the checkpoint and disappeared on the official road.

"Shall I chase or not?" Yi Shi asked in a trembling voice.

"Are you joking? I'm going to chase this person, am I going to die? The other chief replied.

"Dubo is dead, how can I wait? But do you want to light a beacon fire? "Another long way.

"Du Bo once said that the general's military order, if the Shu army comes with a large army, we need to light the beacon fire immediately, but at this time, only one person's ear has passed, and we will light the beacon fire, is it not disobeying the military order?" Originally, the first Shi Changdao.

The chiefs deliberated for a long time, and first elected one person to be the leader temporarily, and then the temporary leader sent one person to the camp to report without mentioning it.

Wei Yuan went straight out of the sentry post, and then still drove the empty horse in front, and he rode his horse to chase after him. This was a common way to guard against the Wei army laying traps and tripping ropes on the road, that is, to keep the livestock in front of the road. When Dong Zhuo fought the tiger prison and Cao Cao fought Xuzhou, he even drove the people to open the way in front, one can eliminate the opponent's traps, and the other can consume the opponent's arrows, this method is simple, but very effective.

Wei Yuan rushed out for more than thirty miles in one breath, then stopped the horses, first took out the water bladder and drank a few sips of water, and fed the horses some forage. After resting for a while, Wei Yuan took out the map again to confirm the direction of travel, then turned over and continued to walk along the official road.

After a short time, Wei Yuan rushed to a sentry post, Wei Yuan repeated his old tricks, and went straight out of the sentry post, and then rode away from the dust. However, this time, Wei Yuan did not cut the defenders of the Wei army under his horse. After all, for Wei Yuan, hurrying is the first thing.

After Guo Huai burned the grain ship of the Shu army, he arranged the tent in Hongnong, where the distance was about 500 miles, and Guo Huai was giving various instructions in an orderly manner in the tent at this time

"Order Guo Yi, continue to play my banner, and don't let the Shu army know that I have left the moth within three days."

"Whoa!"

"Ordered Shen Guang and Yu Jing to lead 2,000 troops to Lao Yaling within two days, and set up camp on the ridge, if the Shu army comes, be sure not to let it pass."

"Whoa!"

"Ordered Liu Yu to lead a thousand troops, arrive at Aozi Mountain within two days, if the Shu army comes, you can let it go, and after seeing the beacon fire, you will immediately pursue the Shu army."

"Whoa!"

"Chu Xiang, you and I together, with a large army of 15,000, three days later need to be ambushed in the Qianniu Ridge beyond the wings, if the Shu army breaks through the interception of the general Zhengxi, it will pass through this place, and we should do our best to intercept it."

"Whoa! General, there is something unclear about the last general, please explain. ”

"Tell me!"

"Why don't we join forces with General Xiahou and fight with the Shu army?"

"We have cut off the food route of the Shu army, although there has been no news leaked out, but I expect that Jiang Wei'er will find something wrong, I expect that Jiang Wei will already send people to investigate along the way, and delay it for three days at the latest, and the Shu army will get the news. The Shu army has no food, and the army is bound to panic, so we will garrison Qianniuling, and one will hold the throat of the Shu army's return, so that the Shu army cannot return. Second, it can delay time and exhaust the remaining food of the Shu army. The third is to wait for work at ease and get full merit. With these three items, can I Guo Huai'an do it? Don't ask, just prepare. ”

"Whoa!" The generals in the tent bowed their hands and then came out in unison.

After the generals left the tent, the corners of Guo Huai's mouth suddenly showed a sneer, and he muttered to himself: "The four are to reduce the elite troops of Xiahou's uncle and nephew to ensure that the lord will succeed in the future." ”

Note 1: Tripping horses and trapping horse pits are very familiar to future generations, in fact, in the Three Kingdoms era infantry to deal with cavalry There are many methods, the most common is the open fence, moat, city wall and other defensive facilities, but there are many in the dark, the lock neck rope is one of them, that is, the two ends of the rope are fixed at the height, and people can walk through it from below, and the cavalry is not clear at first due to the sight, and when they see it, they will be directly tied to the neck position by the rope, and those who are unlucky will even be cut directly.
