Chapter 244: Disguise

"Zhuojun?" The general showed a strange look on his face, Zhuo County is just a county town, how can the state capital be important in Zhao Yi's eyes. Now is another good time to destroy the Qiang Canal, will Zhao Yi miss this opportunity for the sake of this small Zhuo County? "Young leader, according to the last general, let's attack the state capital."

Xu Bu did not waver in his opinion: "The general must not underestimate Zhuo County, this Zhuo County is not a simple county town. Zhuo County is the only one in the county town under the jurisdiction of Youzhou that does not border with the outside Yi tribe, and it is the granary silver warehouse of Youzhou. "Now that time is pressing, they only have one chance to attack, and if they choose the wrong target, not only will the situation in Quang Ninh County be in crisis, but even the 5,000 cavalry led by Su Bu will be dealt a devastating blow.

The place of attack was insignificant to Zhao Yi, even Zhao Yi, who received the news, would choose to ignore it and annihilate the Qiangqu Department in Guangning County first. At that time, even if Subu attacked the state capital, it would be useless. It will definitely be snatched back by Zhao Yi, and the five thousand soldiers in Xu Bu's hands can be compared with Zhao Yi's tens of thousands of troops.

So if you don't attack, you will hit Zhao Yi's sore spot as soon as you make a move, so Zhao Yi has to send troops to rescue. According to the current situation, Zhuojun is indeed a good place for them to attack.

First, ninety percent of the Zhuo County army was outside the county seat of Guangning, and the defensive strength was weak. Second, Zhuo County is very important to Youzhou, especially Fanyang County, and the pure dew business is the guarantee of Youzhou's taxes.

After listening to Su Bu's words, the general nodded: "It's still the young leader who is thoughtful. ”

Formulated a battle plan, Xu Bu did not hesitate, immediately pulled out the camp and ran to Zhuo County with the soldiers, Zhuo County is three hundred miles away from the border of Youzhou, even if the Xiongnu war horses are persistent, it will take a day to reach Zhuo County, and the soldiers of Zhuo County will go to Guangning County to report the change, at least one and a half days.

What will happen in these two days or so Xu Bu does not dare to guarantee, perhaps within these two days, Zhao Yi raised troops to capture the county seat of Guangning.

Therefore, in order to delay time, Xu Bu did not hide his whereabouts, and 5,000 soldiers and horses galloped across the land of Youzhou in broad daylight.

Zhao Yisa, who was on the periphery to probe the movements of the Subu Division, soon discovered the traces of Subu and reported the news to Zhao Yi as soon as possible.

Zhao Yi, who has always been concerned about the movement of the cavalry, finally received the news today, but this news shocked Zhao Yi, what happened to this cavalry entering Youzhou?

Zhao Yi unfolded the map of Youzhou and carefully probed, and finally set his sights on Zhuo County, and the target of Xu Bu must be Zhuo County. "This mustache is a good black hand, taking advantage of the fact that our army can't withdraw to attack Zhuojun." Zhao Yi praised it, this Xu Bu did have some resourcefulness, and he actually thought of a plan to save Zhao from encircling Wei.

Zhao Yi, who learned the news, did not panic as he imagined, Qin Chong, the county guard of Zhuo County, was a smart person, and there were 2,000 defenders in Zhuo County, even if Xu Bu attacked Zhuo County, with these 2,000 soldiers and horses and strong city wall fortifications, it would not be a problem to support it for more than ten days.

This time was enough for Zhao Yi to annihilate the Hun soldiers in Guangning County, and he was not worried about Zhao Yi of Zhuo County, what he was worried about was that Xu Bu bypassed Zhuo County and attacked Fanyang County.

The 5,000 elite soldiers who stayed in Fanyang County were brought by Gao Shun to ninety percent, and the county commander Li Si was far less calm and solid than Cheng Yin.

For Zhao Yi, Fanyang County is his foundation, not to mention the pure dew business that is making money every day, just talking about the corn that has a far-reaching impact Zhao Yi is not nervous.

Zhao Yi set his eyes on Batu, but he was not polite to Batu, and said directly: "It seems that this matter will bother the third brother to lead his troops to go." ”

Batu has long wanted to fight Subu, last time it was Subu who ran fast, this time Batu wants to see how Subu escapes.

Batu responded in a hurry, took away 15,000 cavalry to aid Zhuojun, and saw that he led 15,000 soldiers to leave, Zhao Yicai was slightly relieved.

However, Zhao Yi did not relax the surrounding exploration, the Tanma continued to move around the perimeter, and Lou Man led the remaining 5,000 cavalry to wander around the official army camp.

Now Zhao Yi is in the light, and Xu Bu is in the dark, as the so-called light and dark are not easy to fight. In case Xu Bu, who was halfway through the party, suddenly turned around and returned to attack the county seat of Guangning, how should Zhao Yi respond?

The Hun soldiers in the city did not make a fuss when they saw the cavalry leaving, because the Qiangqu Department now suffered heavy casualties, and the war horses no longer had the strength to carry people, and tens of thousands of war horses were now lazily lying on the ground.

Even if all the Wuhuan cavalry withdrew, with their current strength, they would not be able to break through the defenses of the officers and soldiers, especially Qiangqu, who was scared by Zhao Yi, saw the withdrawal of the officers and troops, and did not dare to move with them, he was afraid that this was a trap set by Zhao Yi, and if he had action, the soldiers of his department would suffer heavy losses.

Zhao Yi stared at the listless Hun soldiers in Guangning County, with a smile on his face: "Now even if our army opens the encirclement and lets them out, Qiangqu may not have the courage to walk out of the city gate." ”

Liu Bei nodded approvingly: "Now Qiangqu is like a frightened bird, which has been defeated by Bolai one after another, and he doesn't dare to take any more risks." Liu Bei secretly said that Zhao Yi's move was very clever, and the Qiangqu in the city did not know the internal information of the official army, so he would not dare to take the risk.

Liu Bei knew that the Qiangqu tribe had collapsed, and the Hun soldiers, who were still strong and unrivaled a few days ago, had been mentally defeated by Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi is now waiting for an opportunity, if the opportunity comes, Zhao Yi will immediately give the order to attack the city.

At this time, Xu Bu, who was galloping towards Zhuo County, had already traveled half the distance with the speed of his war horse, staring at the boundless hundred miles of fertile land in Dai County, and secretly said in his heart that the Central Plains is really rich in land, and if our tribe can get half of the land in Youzhou, it will be enough to make the tribe prosperous.

No wonder the Yi people want to invade the Han Dynasty, compared with the land of the Han Dynasty, their tribe is indeed a lot poorer, and their daily life can only rely on hunting, and they don't go out to hunt for a day, food and clothing are the problem.

Su Bu had already made up his mind in his heart that if the Xiongnu tribe could escape this catastrophe, when they were strong, they would definitely invade the inland again.

On the way, the war horse exploring the road ahead came to report: "Young leader, we have found a few officers and soldiers ten miles away, and they are now resting in the village. ”

"How many officers and soldiers?" Su Bu's eyes rolled, and there were very few people in the official army to move, so Su Bu waved his hand to stop the large group of men and horses, and he personally led a hundred elite horsemen to go there.

Compared with the ordinary people in ordinary clothes, the clothes on the officers and soldiers were very conspicuous, and Su Bu carefully touched them, carefully looked at the soldiers in front of him, and stared at the bamboo tube wrapped in red silk on the back of a soldier.

This is a confidential letter to the state government, which is not to be disseminated by those who know it, and not to be questioned by those who do not know.

If Su Bu lived in the Han Dynasty for a period of time, it can be seen that this soldier is not a herald soldier of the state government, but a herald of the imperial court.

"These are a few heralds, and ordinary messengers only need one person to go, but now there are five people escorting them, so it can be seen that the information in the bamboo tube must be extraordinary." Su Bu's eyes flashed as he stared at these soldiers, and in this direction, these soldiers were going to Quang Ninh County.

A message to Zhao Yi? What could it be? Su Bu was very curious in his heart, and whispered to the soldiers around him: "When these officers and soldiers move, kill these people." ”

As soon as Su Bu's words fell, the officers and soldiers packed their bags and turned over their horses and continued to walk, running out for less than three miles.

Seeing this, several officers and soldiers showed panicked expressions on their faces, turned their horses' heads and ran back. But how could the horses of the court be the opponents of the Hun soldiers, only one of them, and those officers and soldiers were stabbed several times and fell under the sabers of Xu Bu.

Su Bu wiped the blood from his blade on the corpse, turned the blade and broke the red silk, opened the wax-sealed bamboo tube, and looked at the letter.

After looking at it, his face changed dramatically, and he closed the letter: "Alas, we are in trouble!" ”

The soldiers around him didn't understand very much, didn't they just kill a few officers and soldiers, what kind of trouble did they cause? Could it be that there are high-ranking officials and nobles in disguise among these officers and soldiers? Killing those so-called dignitaries is not a bad thing for the Xiongnu tribe.

When the general and his soldiers arrived, he saw Subu standing in the middle of the field with a look of remorse, and he stepped forward to ask what had happened.

Su Bu explained: "These soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, but court heralds. The news they delivered was of great benefit to our Xiongnu tribe. ”

These people were the heralds sent by the imperial court, and the bamboo tube contained a letter written by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to Zhao Yi, so that Zhao Yi immediately gave up attacking the county seat of Guangning and negotiated peace with the Qiangqu department.

This news is too important for the Qiangqu tribe, and Xu Bu shot these herald soldiers, which is equivalent to cutting off his own future.

Su Bu thought it was the news that reinforcements from the state capital were coming, so he chose to shoot the herald so that he could know the next move of the official army, and if he knew that these soldiers were passing on this news, Su Bu would even escort these soldiers to Quang Ninh County.

The letters in the hands of these people are too important to the Qiangqu tribe. Emperor Han Ling's few words were more effective than his own battlefield rush.

"What should I do if things get to where they are?" Su Bu looked at the officers and soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and the soldiers were covered with scar marks. And when he got off the horse just now, Xu Bu made up for the necks of these officers and soldiers, and now this officer and soldier are dead and can't die anymore.

"Young leader, why don't we send a few soldiers to pretend to be officers and enter the county seat of Guangning?" The subordinates will come up with an idea.

"My soldiers are pretending to be officers?" Xu Bu fumbled with the stubble, and was a little worried in his heart: "Can our soldiers hide from Zhao Yi's eyes?" "Zhao Yi is a difficult person to deal with, and Xu Bu is a little uncertain in his heart.

Unlike Subu's cautiousness, the general was confident: "Don't be alarmed, young chief, although our people are fake, the letters are true." Zhao Yi cares about the letters, and he doesn't pay attention to the authenticity of the soldiers. ”

Seeing that what the general said made some sense, Su Bu looked at him: "Okay, just act according to the general's plan!" ”
