Chapter 826: Raiding and Merging States (2)
"Well, please General."
Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and ordered all battalions in the city to prepare for evacuation.
Chen Zhi went to cook a cup of tea and brought it into Liu Bei's bedroom.
Liu Bei didn't suspect it at all, and drank the tea down. Then he felt the world spinning, struggled to walk, and collapsed in the bedroom. Chen Zhi ran out of the house according to Zhuge Liang's instructions and shouted: "The lord fainted, the lord fainted..." ”
Zhuge Liang symbolically found Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat Liu Bei.
Claims of fainting due to excessive fatigue.
In this case, the power in the army naturally fell into the hands of Zhuge Liang.
He convened the civil and military personnel to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, it was decided to abandon the annexation of the state and retreat to Taihang Mountain for temporary refuge.
Night.
Zhuge Liang sent people to survey the terrain and determined that there was no enemy within a radius of fifty miles. He led the army to Gucheng. To the south of Gucheng, there is a road into Taihang Mountain.
It's rugged and undetectable.
If you can lead the army in, you can disappear in Taiyuan without realizing it. But Zhuge Liang was also a little worried. He knew that Xu Ding wanted to completely eliminate Liu Bei, and he would definitely send people to occupy all the main roads into the mountain. I don't know if there are ambushes in the mountain pass south of Gu City.
In such a dangerous place, once an ambush is encountered, tens of thousands of troops will die without a place to be buried.
In order to escape from the encirclement.
He decided to give it a try!
Two watches.
The whole army arrived at the mountain pass.
Zhuge Liang sent people up to investigate, but there was no trace of the enemy army.
The weeds on the road are also neat, and they don't look like they've been stepped on.
"Sir, according to the careful investigation we have planted in the shadows, there is no trace of the enemy army within a radius of fifty miles, and there is certainly no trace here. Let's hurry into the mountain, and when the enemy pursues us, it will be too late. Chen Zhi said.
"Well, the herald goes into the mountains."
Zhuge Liang asked Chen to take the lead, open the road in the mountains, and build bridges in the water. He followed behind and led the army into Taihang Mountain slowly.
It is also Zhuge Liang's luck.
Xu Ding blocked all the mountain passes, except for this one.
Because Gucheng was too close to Jinyang, Xu Ding was afraid of startling the snakes, so he wanted to send people to block the mountain pass when besieging Jinyang. Unexpectedly, before his army reached Jinyang, Zhuge Liang led his army to withdraw.
A few days later.
The army of Xu Ding arrived.
Only then did he find that Jinyang was already an empty city, and the mountain pass south of Gucheng had been trampled into a avenue.
Obviously, Zhuge Liang had already led his army into Taihang Mountain.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Bonghyo is here." Dian Wei reported outside the house.
"Let him in."
Guo Jia walked into the room.
Xu Ding said anxiously: "Feng Xiao can know that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have withdrawn two days ago. They have entered the Taihang Mountain. ”
"The minister already knows." Guo Jia was also full of sadness, pointed to the map and said: "Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to block this mountain pass, now they enter Taihang Mountain, and it will be more difficult for us to get rid of it." ”
"I'm afraid of startling the snake. But who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would be so cunning. ”
"Ugh...."
Guo Jia said: "It's troublesome." Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered the mountains with tens of thousands of troops, and he could easily attack Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou. Even Hanoi County was in his range of attack. No matter how many troops we defend, we can't hold it. It is also very difficult to destroy him. ”
"Is it just for him to get away with it, there is no way?"
"This..." Guo Jia said: "We can only think in the long run. ”
.........
The escape of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang was a huge trouble, but at the same time, it also made Bingzhou empty, and Xu Ding could easily occupy the entire territory of Bingzhou.
In order to be able to carry out encirclement and suppression in the future, it is necessary to make adequate preparations.
this day.
Xu Ding convened a meeting.
The people who came to the parliament were all high-ranking generals in the army.
"It would have been a matter of joy that the annex was recovered by us. But I can't be happy, I believe everyone knows that Liu Bei has escaped, and it has taken 40,000 elites with it, and it may attack us at any time. Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou are all within his range of attack. ”
Xu Ding sat down slowly, took a deep breath and said, "The Central Plains has not yet been pacified, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian are still our great enemies. Therefore, our army cannot be here all the time. Need to go back to the Central Plains to help in the war. So... Who wants to stay and join the state? ”
"This..."
None of the generals dared to take over.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can fight habitually, and they have 40,000 elites in hand, once they go out of the mountain, even if they have 100,000 troops, they may not be able to stop them. And going into the mountains to encircle and suppress is even more looking for death.
"Why, don't you want to stay and merge with the state?" Xu Ding frowned.
At this time, Guan Yu came out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to stay." ”
"Your Hebei Field Army is not large in number, and it is barely possible to hold Jizhou. How can we keep the state again? Xu Ding did not agree: "You still go to Ye County and guard Jizhou." ”
"Yes."
Guan Yu stepped aside.
Xu Ding got up and said: "Since you are unwilling to take over, then I will name whoever you want." ”
"Huang Zhong."
"The end will be."
Xu Dingdao: "You will lead the Central Plains Field Army and temporarily garrison and annex the state." ”
Huang Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the last general is very willing to stay and annex the state. It's just that... What about the Central Plains? Cao Cao and Sun Jian have not yet been exterminated. Your Majesty has no available soldiers.... ”
"You don't have to worry about that."
Xu Dingdao: "Guarding Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou is the most important thing at present. You are guarding and annexing the state, Guan Yu is guarding Jizhou, and Cheng Yu and Lu Bu are guarding Youzhou. We will send orders to all counties to recruit troops, all of whom are under your control. The exact amount is determined by the population and food and grass of each state. It shall be reported to Xu County for approval and shall be implemented. ”
"I have no other requirements for you, only one point, hold the states and counties, and don't let Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rob the grain!"
"No..."
The congregation will answer.
Guo Jia was also worried: "General Hansheng is right. The Central Plains has not been pacified, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are still resisting, and there are various princes who are wavering. If His Majesty leaves the Central Plains Field Army in the state, will it affect the overall situation? ”
Xu Dingdao: "Then what do you say to do?" ”
"The minister did think of an idea, but I am afraid that His Majesty will not do it." Guo Jia hesitated.
"Say it."
"Yes."
Guo Jia said: "If you want to kill Liu Bei, you have to lead the snake out of the hole." We transferred all the troops in Jizhou and went to Bingzhou to feign encirclement and suppress Liu Bei. There are hundreds of thousands of stone grains in Jizhou, and it is impossible for Liu Bei not to be moved. When he leads the army to Yecheng, we will mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress. Jizhou is different from Bingzhou, it is far away from Taihang Mountain, we only need 20,000 cavalry, we can seal the exit, he will definitely die. ”
"You mean... Give Jizhou to Liu Bei? ”
"Yes. Yecheng, to be exact... ”
Guo Jia's suggestion made Xu Ding's eyes light up, and said: "If I leave 10,000 elites in Yecheng and hold it for a few days, it shouldn't be a problem, and within these days, our cavalry will definitely be able to arrive." In this way, Liu Bei will not be able to get Jizhou, and he will be surrounded by us. ”
Guo Jia said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yecheng can't keep soldiers." In particular, you can't leave the elite, otherwise Liu Bei won't be fooled. Don't forget, Zhuge Liang is his military advisor, how can he not see the mystery in this? ”
"Only when Jizhou is really empty, and he is short of food, can it be possible to lure him out."
Huang Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what Feng Xiao said is reasonable, you might as well give it a try." If Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can be eliminated in one fell swoop, there will be no need to transfer heavy troops to defend Hebei in the future. ”
"Okay."
Xu Dingdao: "According to the plan of filial piety, give him a snake to get out of the hole!" ”
.........
In the next few days, Xu Ding sent a large number of troops to block the road at the Taiyuan border, and sent troops symbolically into the mountains to explore. At the same time, he ordered all the troops in Jizhou, including some important towns, to abandon their garrisons and go to Bingzhou to listen to orders.
In this way, Jizhou's troops were empty.
The army made a feint search in Bingzhou and prepared to enter the Taihang Mountain.
"Your Majesty, after Jizhou is empty, it can be regarded as throwing out the bait, but to encircle and suppress Liu Bei, you still need to send troops to lurk in Jizhou. The minister suggested that General Gan Ning should come back, and his naval army would be fast, and he could reach Pingyuan County in two days. Landing from the plains, you can go straight to the flank of Wei County. Let the 30,000 infantry troops sent by Cheng Yu be stationed in Zhongshan Kingdom, and don't make any moves for the time being.... ”
Guo Jia pointed to the map and said: "And we, on the other hand, built several large camps in Bingzhou, ostensibly to prepare for the attack on the mountain, but actually secretly transferred the elite to Jizhou. After Liu Bei appeared, he quickly blocked the exit of Taihang Mountain. ”
"Okay, everything will be as you say." Xu Ding immediately agreed.
At this time.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already entered the mountain.
The 40,000-strong army was struggling to survive in the lush mountains and forests.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was prescient and brought grain and grass for a few months, so he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.
At the junction of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou, they chose a flat terrain as their base camp. Under the command of Zhuge Liang, more than a dozen camps were built.
Distribute your forces within a radius of 100 miles.
It's also helpless to do so.
There are too many armies to be hoarded in one place, they can only be scattered.
Fortunately, the troops who entered the mountain were all Liu Bei's descendants, and they were absolutely loyal to Liu Bei. Even if they spread out to garrison, they would obey Liu Bei's military orders.
"Kong Ming, you still chose to go into the mountain..." After Liu Bei woke up, he was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang doing this.
"Please, the Lord." Zhuge Liang bowed to the ground and said.
"Forget it..." Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "We have already entered the mountain, and it is useless to regret it." It's even more useless to blame you. Let's think about what to do in the future. I'll say it in front, and I must capture it, and I hope that Mr. will help! ”
Zhuge Liang got up and said: "Please rest assured, the minister will let the lord get his wish." When the army of Xu Ding is withdrawn and annexed to the state, we will kill it back, and Jinyang is still the lord's. ”
"Hmm."
For several days, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were building camps and controlling a radius of 100 miles. Build some roads where you can march in preparation for his sunrise mountain raids.
"Sir, I just received news that Xu Ding has transferred all the troops from Jizhou to Merge the state, and Youzhou has also been transferred to 30,000 troops. The canton is blocking the roads and looking for us. It is estimated that he wants to gather troops and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress. I suddenly have an idea for you to consider for me. Liu Bei found Zhuge Liang.
"What does the lord mean?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Liu Bei said in a surprising voice: "I want to capture Jizhou!" Jizhou is the belly of Hebei, the land is vast and the grain is abundant, and there are millions of people, if I can occupy it, I will have a basis to compete with Xu Ding. ”
"Never..."
Zhuge Liang stopped: "Although Jizhou is good, it is not something that the lord can occupy. The lord thinks about it, Jizhou and the Central Plains are only separated by a Yellow River, and the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains can be called at any time. Cheng Yu in Youzhou, as well as Xu Ding, who gathered troops in Bingzhou, will also chase and kill. The lord occupies Jizhou, and within two months, he will be besieged. ”
"For today's plan, it is better to guard Taihang Mountain first, and wait for changes."
"I don't expect that Xu Ding will stay in Bingzhou for too long, and once he withdraws and Bingzhou is empty, the lord can return to Taiyuan. Compared with Jizhou, although Bingzhou is barren, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only by occupying it can it last long. ”
Liu Bei put his hands behind his back, thought about it, and said, "We don't have much food, and we can't support it for long." If Xu Ding does not withdraw for several months, will he have to starve to death in Taihang Mountain? Now that Jizhou is empty, it is an excellent opportunity. Even if we don't occupy it, we should go and plunder and get the food and grass we need... ”
Liu Bei insisted on going to Jizhou.
Zhuge Liang couldn't stop it.
In the end, he said: "Since the lord is determined to go to Jizhou, the minister is willing to follow." ”
Liu Bei said: "Mr. doesn't have to go. I am on this trip to plunder, and I will return in three or five days. Sir stayed in the mountains, built a camp, drew a map, and many other things needed him. ”
"But..."
Zhuge Liang was very worried.
He could feel that Liu Bei was tempted by Jizhou.
Once you occupy Yecheng, you will definitely not let go.
And this will definitely attract Xu Ding's army, once the Taihang Mountain is sealed, Liu Bei will not be able to escape if he wants to.
In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Zhuge Liang went to Chen Dao again.
"What!" Zhuge Liang gave Chen Zhi an idea, and Chen Zhi took a few steps back: "Sir, you still let the last general poison the lord?" The last time I have already done it once, the lord is lenient, I don't care, if I poison it again, the end will... ”
Zhuge Liang said righteously: "General Chen Zhi, do you know how dangerous the lord is this time? Once you can't retreat and are surrounded by enemy troops, no matter how good you are, you won't be able to protect your lord. I just asked you to put some drugs in the lord's meal, and it won't hurt his body, and when he returns to Taihang Mountain, he will naturally be sober. ”
"Since it's dangerous to go to Jizhou, why does the lord still want to go?"
"Ugh...."
Zhuge Liang sighed: "I have persuaded the lord, but the lord is bent on going his own way..." ”
"General Chen Zhi, this matter is very important, you must follow what I said, and bring the lord back safely. I will personally lead 5,000 people to fortify and respond at the Jizhou border. ”
"Yes!"
Chen Zhi replied solemnly.
Jizhou is already empty, with less than 10,000 remaining troops, distributed in various counties, and it is difficult to concentrate.
Yecheng, as the seat of Jizhou, is only 5,000 old and weak.
Liu Bei led 30,000 elites from Taihang Mountain, entered Zhongshan Kingdom, and then passed through Julu County and detoured to Yecheng of Wei County.
"Kill..." Liu Bei gave an order.
An army of 30,000 rushed straight to Yecheng.
With little effort, Yecheng was conquered.
Liu Bei was ecstatic and entered the city with a large army.
This is the first time he has occupied such a large city, and it is also the capital of Jizhou. When Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he built a mansion, intending to build Jizhou into a big city like Luoyang.
I didn't expect it to fall into his hands so easily now, it's almost the same as picking it up.
After entering the city.
Liu Bei sent people to search around.
