Chapter 1374: Sima Yi's Awakening
Lu Xun was overjoyed, and promised the generals that when the chaos was calmed down, they would definitely report everyone's achievements one by one in the future, so that everyone would be rewarded one by one. All the generals rejoiced. After a while, the seats dispersed, and the generals came out one after another. Soon, only Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were left in the tent. Lu Xun's face tightened, and he said to Zhuge Liang.
"According to Mr. Zhi, what should our army do at the moment?"
Zhuge Liang's face was calm, he shook the feather fan lightly in his hand, and said slowly to Lu Xun.
"Thinking that at this time, General Zhu and other elite soldiers have rushed to the vicinity of Wu County. In the past few days, watching Wei Kou's movements, he was extremely cautious. If it weren't for Zhang Junyi and a group of Wei generals, they would never rush into battle with contempt, and they would have a strong heart to defend it. From this point of view, if Liang's prediction is correct, the old thief must have taught Zhang Junyi to resist our army here, but the other side has already gone out from Ping'a to Wangwu County to kill. ”
When Lu Xun heard this, his face changed greatly, his heart jumped, and he said to Zhuge Liang anxiously.
"If this is the case, Wu County is in danger. I'm afraid that with Zhu Yifeng's 3,000 elites, it will be difficult to reverse the situation!! ”
Zhuge Liang listened, but he smiled indifferently, not in a hurry, and said calmly.
"General Right, don't be impatient. The old thief thought that we were all blocked from Dongfu and did not pay attention to the rear. General Zhu is a vigilant person, but when he sees the opportunity, he will definitely make a grand move, but Liang thinks that 3,000 soldiers are enough to turn the tide, so that the old thief is caught off guard and messes up. And Wu Wang is eloquent, and there are more resourceful people such as Lu Zijing and Gu Yuanxian in Wu County, but seeing the chaos of the old thief army, he will inevitably take advantage of the chaos to go out of the army, so that the old thief army is scattered, although the soldiers and horses are numerous, it is more difficult to organize the army, once the situation is chaotic, it will be out of control!! ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining, and the light was shining brightly, Lu Xun listened, his heart trembled again and again, he sighed, and bowed with great admiration.
"Mr. is strategizing, and it is wonderful to dispatch troops, but it is not as good as inferior!! If the crisis of Eastern Wu is solved this time, Xun will report truthfully to King Wu to repay Mr. Kindness. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said lightly.
"Dongwu and Shu Han have already formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and it is a matter of course to support each other. Liang didn't dare to take credit, but hoped that when the time came, King Wu would be able to give him a place to live, regroup with the people of Shu Han and other people, and wait for him to make a comeback and regain the lost land!! ”
When Lu Xun heard this, he was particularly impressed by Zhuge Liang's loyalty, but secretly felt a lot of regret. The two discussed for a while, and Zhuge Liang taught Lu Xun to continue to attack eagerly, so that Zhang Junyi and others were relaxed and used as cover for Zhu Ran's elite troops. Lu Xun listened to reason, that is, he obeyed.
In the following days, Lu Xun sent troops to attack for several days, and Zhang Jaw led the army to guard the city gate. Although the two armies were strong, there were very few head-to-head confrontations, and there were few casualties. Zhang Jaw thought that Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang had no way to break the city, and his heart was relaxed. One day, Wu Bing withdrew again. Sima Yi saw it, but he was not happy, but his face was different and confused. When he saw it, his heart tightened, so he asked Sima Yi.
"Master Sima is thin, but he has doubts!?"
Sima Yi listened to Zhang Jaw's question, bowed his head heavily, held his beard, and said in a condensed voice.
"I saw that for many days, the Wu thieves had no momentum, but they repeatedly clashed with our army under the city for a while, so they immediately withdrew. The thief army is so treacherous, it's really abnormal. ”
Chen Tai heard it on the side, his expression sank, and he suddenly said.
"According to the last general's opinion, this thief army has no magic method to break the city, but it is afraid that it will be attacked and taken hard, and it will be greatly broken, so it is so."
Sima Yi listened, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he shook his head.
"If there is only one thief in the army, Lu Boyan is alone, and it is very likely that Uncle Xuan said this. But Uncle Xuan, don't forget, the thief army still has Zhuge Kongming in charge. Zhuge Kongming's intelligence is high, and I can't expect it!! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jaw frowned, and said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that Zhuge Kongming is secretly clumsy, but he has other plans?"
"Far from it. According to the current situation, Zhuge Kongming and other remnants of Shu are in the same boat with Dongwu, and their lips are cold. And Shu Han and my Great Wei have always had a deep enmity like the sea. If Dongwu is swallowed by my Great Wei. Zhuge Kongming can only vote for my Great Wei in order to ensure that his lord Liu Chan is safe. But Zhuge Kongming has taken the restoration of the Han dynasty as his mission all his life, and he would rather die than vote for my Great Wei! ”
Sima Yi had bright eyes and spoke matter-of-factly, and seemed to know Zhuge Liang very well. When he heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd for a while. Chen Tai looked shocked and opened his mouth to say.
"The two Ming Princes don't have to worry too much. At present, we only need to ensure that the East Blessing is not lost, and we can fulfill His Majesty's decree. If the thieves are there, why bother!? ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he frowned and shook his head slightly, this Chen Tai is still not deep in the WTO, and he doesn't know the tricks of the art of war. At this time, Zhang Jaw's face sank, and his eyes were sharp and Chen Tai said.
"Uncle Xuan's words are wrong. When the two armies face each other, you need to know their strategy in order to defeat the enemy!! Zhuge Kongming is a talent of a hundred miles, and he is a hundred talents. The so-called abnormal things must be deceitful. The thief army has been bluffing for many days, and there must be a strategy in secret. Although His Majesty's order only teaches us to guard Dongfu, the intention is to let us resist Lu Boyan's army, so that Your Majesty has no worries and can attack Wu County with all his strength and quell the battle of Wu in one fell swoop!! Xuanbo is so lax, it is bound to make a big mistake!! ”
When Chen Tai heard this, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and he knew the stakes, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand to confess. Zhang Jaw waved his hand, and then looked at Sima Yi. Sima Yi's eyes narrowed, and the two looked at each other, as if they both had the same worries. Sima Yi looked at each other and asked.
"Does the general suspect that the thief army has secretly transferred troops and horses to Wu County to rescue?"
As soon as Sima Yi's words came out, it confirmed the worries in Zhang Jaw's heart. opened his jaw and bowed his head heavily, and said to Sima Yi.
"What Master Sima Bo said is exactly what I want."
Before Zhang Jaw could speak, Chen Tai on the side said hurriedly.
"However, if the thief army takes a shortcut to Wu County, it must first pass through Ping'a, so that Dongfu is the place where it must pass. How can a thief leap with his wings?! ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he smiled coldly and said to Chen Tai.
"There is no such thing as a necessity. The thief army is well familiar with the topography of Wu County, or there are secret passages and shortcuts, so as to enter it, do not take it lightly!! And as far as I can see, the thieves have been bluffing for days, and the intention is to attract the attention of our army. So if I'm right, seven or eight times out of ten it should be. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jaw's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked Sima Yi with a little impatience.
"Then according to the opinion of Lord Sima, what should I do!?"
Sima Yi shook his spirits, his brain was spinning, and he said sharply.
"Our army is not familiar with the terrain, and if we want to search rashly, it will definitely take many more days. In my opinion, the general sent people day and night to inform His Majesty and teach His Majesty to make preparations as soon as possible. Most of Lu Boyan's men and horses are here, and there will not be many soldiers and horses who will be transferred. As long as Your Majesty can anticipate this matter early and be prepared, Zhuge Kongming's plan will fall short!! At the same time, our army will be calculated, entangled with Lu Boyan's army here, and relax its heart!! ”
Hearing this, his jaw shot in his eyes
G light, the head of the jaw answers.
"What Master Sima Bo said is extremely true!! I'm going to transfer it right away!! ”
After opening his jaw, Chen Tai looked shocked and took the initiative to ask. When he saw it, he thought that although Chen Tai had little experience in war, he was quick-witted, able to adapt to changes, and more impatient, so he taught Chen Tai to pack up immediately and set off immediately at the beginning of the night. At this time, Sima Yi's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly called out to Chen Tai, who was about to leave.
"Uncle Xuan, slow down!! Zhuge Kongming has always been like a god, and he will definitely be on guard. If you want to go, you can divide into two troops and horses, teach one to go first, and watch its movements. If you fall into an ambush by the thieves, you can take advantage of the chaos!! ”
Chen Tai stopped suddenly, and he heard Sima Yi shouting behind him. Chen Tai couldn't help but look suspicious, and secretly said that Sima Yi was too worried and worried.
However, Zhang Jaw's face tightened, and he commanded Chen Tai with his chin in a serious manner.
"If it weren't for Master Sima's timely reminder, I would have almost missed a major incident. Uncle Xuan, you will act according to the words of Sima Lord Bo, this is a matter of great importance, if it succeeds, you can protect the lives of 20,000 soldiers in the city without worry, if there is a mistake, our lives are worried!! Don't make a mistake!! I give the tiger talisman to you, you can transfer the elite of the army at will, be sure to tell Your Majesty about this matter as soon as possible, don't make a mistake!! ”
Chen Tai listened to Zhang Jaw's cautious instructions, his face changed continuously, and he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, so he promised and left quickly. At dusk, Chen Tai's transfer had been decided, and a thousand elites were recruited, most of whom were generals with more than 100 generals. Gradually, when night fell, Chen Tai quickly ordered, and then a lieutenant named Gao Ping led hundreds of elites out of the city first, and Wangping A quickly advanced. Chen Tai led the rest of the soldiers and horses, and slowly followed him, hiding in a reed bush to watch the movement.
But it was said that Gao Ping led hundreds of light horsemen, and went straight on a path, and just turned to an intersection, suddenly there was a burst of bows and crossbows. Gao Ping was shocked, and looked anxiously, only to see that on the hillside in front of him, a wave of arrows fell on his head. Gao Ping hurriedly danced the big knife in his hand and dialed it, shouting loudly, there was an ambush. The soldiers under Gao Ping's command reacted one after another, and each raised their weapons to resist. Many people sat down and were shot on their horses, and they immediately fell off their horses, and there were bursts of miserable screams. Suddenly, on the hillside, a Wu general with a big knife in his hand was killed. Gao Ping's eyes were sick, and he quickly recognized that the general was Quan Cong, and he was immediately frightened, and he fled.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang had taught Lu Xun to be outside Dongfu City for seven or eight miles many days ago, and he was stationed at a secret outpost, but when he saw any movement in Dongfu City, he immediately reported to Quan Cong and Li Fu, who had been secretly stationed in two places under the mountain. And not long ago, the scout found that Gao Ping's troops and horses were heading in the direction of Ping'a, and hurriedly reported back to Quan Cong. When Quan Cong heard this, he immediately led troops to ambush and intercept him, and according to Lu Xun's earlier instructions, he sent someone to inform Li Fu in another place and teach him to prepare early.
But it is said that at this time, the whole horse clashed down from the hillside, as if the sky was falling apart. Gao Ping saw that Quan Cong was like riding a tiger, so he was so frightened that he fled from his horse. Quan Cong galloped and rushed over, his hand raised and fell, and the back of Gao Ping's head was cut. In a flash of cold light, a head flew into the sky, and Gao Ping didn't even have time to scream, and was hacked to death by Ben Quancong. The head fell to the ground, the blood burst out, and the surrounding Wei soldiers saw it, and all of them did not change color, and they rushed away one after another. Quan Cong's face was hideous, and he made a move with a knife, and then led the soldiers and horses to cover up the killing.
And in a reed bush not far to the east, Chen Tai heard a burst of fierce shouts and killings, mixed with countless terrible screams, and suddenly his face changed, only to know that he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and he was extremely impressed with Sima Yi, and secretly glad that if it wasn't for Sima Yi's prediction, he must have been ambushed now. Chen Tai is not afraid of falling into danger, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to complete the mission, and he will be pointed out by Wanfu and prolong the three clans!! Chen Tai's spirit was shocked, his eyes shone, and he immediately led his troops to take advantage of the chaos to detour. On the other side, Quan Cong only cared about chasing and killing Gao Ping's subordinates, but he didn't know that there was a soldier and horse in the dark who was taking advantage of the chaos to look at Ping'a.
Chen Tai was cautious all the way, but he didn't dare to slack off, his heart was frightened, and his nerves were tense. Let's say that another Wu soldier stationed nearby, its commander Li Fu, was born as a bandit, quite a martial arts, and occupied the mountain as the king on the Huiji Snake Mountain, and was later recruited by Sun Quan. Li Fu knew that he was not an opponent of the Eastern Wu Army, so he led the crowd to surrender, and served as the general of the Yamen under Lu Xun.
