Chapter 189: Each has its own tricks
Gao Yi led the army to rush all the way to kill, along the way Liu Biao arranged the defense in advance is not vulnerable at all, but also because the main force has gone to attack the city, Gao Yi captured the soldiers and interrogated carefully, and gradually learned that Liu Biao's base camp is located, but after leading the troops over, he was a little disappointed to find that Liu Biao had already dug a canal connecting Wancheng and the high mountains in the east of the city, the canal was about five or six zhang wide, about three or four zhang deep, and now the flood is raging, Liu Biao sent an army to station a thousand people on the opposite bank to defend it, not to mention that Gao Yi can't find a boat to cross the river now, even if they find it, they are afraid that the enemy on the opposite side will shoot indiscriminately, and it is estimated that less than half of their own people can go ashore.
"Lord Qi, our people have searched the vicinity, and only this one path leads to Liu Biao's camp!" Explore the Malay newspaper.
Gao Yi couldn't think of any good way for a while, and said with annoyance: "Hmph, since Liu Biao doesn't want me to go over, then don't think about coming over, pass the order, camp on the spot, and confront Liu Biao's people across the river to see who can consume whom!" ”
The camp was set up, Gao Yi led people to inspect the camps, before he knew nothing about camping, thanks to the guidance of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he mastered some doorways, but in the eyes of insiders, it is still full of flaws, typical is that the thatched toilet of the barracks is standing in the upwind direction, and the stove room is only separated from the thatched toilet, and there are countless others, even the soldiers are a little slandered.
"What do you mean, lord, eating here and listening to the sound of pooping over there, can you still eat this meal?"
"That's right, I heard that the lord doesn't know the way to camp at all, and he didn't believe it before, but now he really believes it!"
"Alas, the lord always does these strange things, which makes people so incomprehensible!"
Gao Yi naturally heard these gossips, not only did he not get angry, but nodded with satisfaction: "Remember the names of these people!" ”
The adjutant general thought that Gao Yi was going to punish these gossiping soldiers after the war, so he immediately responded and was about to go out happily, but Gao Yi added a sentence: "I mean, these soldiers' opinions are very correct, and I want to reward them!" ”
"Huh?" The deputy general stood at the door of the big tent in surprise, at a loss, there is such a good thing in these years, and he will be rewarded for saying bad things about the lord, what an abnormality!
"Don't go yet! Also, let the enemy know about it! Gao Yi reprimanded, and then instructed.
"Whoa!"
"What? Gao Yi actually arranged the camp like this? It's really funny, Gongda, come and see, there is no more stupid way to camp in the world! ”
In Liu Biao's camp, Gao Yi's camp layout was lurking on the opposite side of the fine painting and sent to Liu Biao's hands, he pointed to a few mistakes above to Xun You to see: "Gao Yi camped in this place The terrain is soft and soft, and it can't withstand the impact at all, and the position of the camp gate is not conducive to attack and arm, and this point is also extremely deadly, the armory and grain and grass are set up in front, but the soldiers' camp tents are piled up in the back, which is really ridiculous!" ”
Liu Biao said that Xun You saw these mistakes, but he didn't laugh, on the contrary, he was unusually calm: "Brother Jingsheng, don't be too optimistic, these mistakes are common sense, Gao Yi commanded tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible not to know such a truth, is it possible that Gao Yi deliberately went the opposite way and could not attack him, so he created a false image to lure our army?" In my opinion, tonight's surprise attack should be canceled, lest you fall for this Gao Yi's plan! ”
Liu Biao shook his head disappreciatively: "It's not that I, Liu Jingsheng, look down on this Gao Mingyang, but a yellow-mouthed son who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how big a wave can he toss?" If it was Ling Shu Xun Wenruo, I would still be a little cautious, now, there is no need to worry about it at all, Gao Yi's number of men and horses is not inferior to ours, and it has just arrived, and the people and horses are tired, if we don't take advantage of this time to launch a surprise attack to frustrate his spirit, wouldn't we really have to leave in disgrace. A few days ago, we only cared about concentrating our troops to carry out a water attack, and neglected to guard against our granaries and ships, and were destroyed by Zhang Jaw and leading the troops. ”
Xun You knew that Liu Biao was a little underestimated by the enemy, but at this time, anyone who was called could underestimate the enemy, Xun You knew that he couldn't be as hot as Liu Biao, and he persuaded Liu Biao very rationally: "Age doesn't mean anything, when Sun Jian was seventeen years old, he had already repelled the pirates with his wit, you must know that Gao Yi's current strength is almost the same as ours, and he can use the people in the same city to deal with each other as horns, if he also has the same idea as Brother Jingsheng in his arms, what if he wants to see through the surprise attack to weaken our strength?" ”
Hearing Sun Jian, Liu Biao laughed even more: "Sun Wentai, is it? I thought he would have some means, but unexpectedly, he was not vulnerable at all, and now he is trapped on the riverbank by our men and horses, and it is a matter of time before he is captured! ”
Between the words, Liu Biao was already dressed up and ready to fight, Xun You still wanted to stop it, but Liu Biao said: "This surprise attack, the significance is not trivial, when the general summoned me, I already understood that only one of the two people in Jingzhou and Gao Yi can win, Gongda's worry for me I can understand, but everything is risky, but the greater the risk, the greater the reward, after today, there may not be such a good opportunity!" ”
"Okay, I wish Brother Jingsheng a triumphant return, I will set up a banquet for Brother Jingsheng in the camp first!" Seeing Liu Biao so persistent, Xun You knew that if he said more, he would be suspected of disturbing the morale of the army, so he had to clench his fists and bow deeply to Liu Biao on the horse.
"Drink!" Liu Biao rode the horse and whipped up, he looked heroic, forty years old is the last age in his life that can still exude brilliance, Liu Biao doesn't want to live so mediocre, he wants to do an earth-shattering big thing, draw a brilliant stroke for his life!
Xun You watched Liu Biao go away, he knew that although Liu Biao didn't say anything, but this plan to sneak attack Wancheng had failed, and the money and food of the people and horses were lost, and the results of the battle were indeed only a handful, 50,000 people attacked Wancheng with only 4,000 people stationed on all sides, which lasted for a month, not only did not take it, but delayed the other party to send the people out safely, and delayed until the arrival of Gao Yi's brigade......
If it is delayed until the arrival of a holy decree from the Son of Heaven, the consequences are really unimaginable.
"It's just to eradicate the Ten Permanent Attendants, is it necessary to go to such great lengths?" Xun Yu laughed at himself helplessly.
This is a member of the Tanma hurriedly entered the barracks, saw Xun Yu Bao and said: "Xun joined the army and got two news, one is that Lord Ling Shu Xun Yu arrived in Nanyang, and at this moment he is in the Gao Yi army, and the other is that the general was attacked by Pei Yuanshao again and again, and the situation is dangerous!" ”
Xun You was shocked, he didn't care about He Jin's life and death, what he cared about was how his uncle Xun Yu ended up in Gao Yi's army, did his uncle plan to join Gao Yi?
Gao Yi didn't plan to be idle, taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were camping, he took his own soldiers out of the camp, detoured to the mountain, and arrived at the cliff in a short time, and found that this was really a good place, the camp layout of Liu Biao's camp was in full view, and not far from the northeast of Liu Biao's camp, a group of men and horses under the banner of Sun Zi were fighting with several of Liu Biao's men and horses, but it seemed that they had been fighting for a long time, and their spirit was exhausted. And the number of people is not as large as Liu Biao's, there is no way out before and after, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before it is destroyed.
"From here to Liu Biaoyingpan and Sun Jian's people, see how far it is?" Gao Yi asked the guide officer.
"Back to the lord, go to Liu Biaoyingpan closer, but five or six miles, but the cliff is steep and difficult to walk, to General Sun Jian's about ten miles, there is a small road feasible, but the cliff on the edge of the path is bottomless, and it may take four or five hours to pass through!"
"Hmm!" Gao Yi nodded, touched his chin and tried to look below the cliff, only to see the clouds and mist below, only to hear the sound of splashing water, suddenly a little dizzy, and immediately withdrew his body.
"Damn, I forgot that I still have a fear of heights!" Gao Yi said self-deprecatingly, seeing that the soldiers around him looked uncertain, he smiled, and the soldiers laughed too.
However, Gao Yi laughed halfway, suddenly turned pale, and said seriously: "Now there is still a period of time until dark, you immediately divide the men and horses into two teams, one will ambush the men and horses outside the camp, keep the camp brightly lit, in case the enemy attack, one group of men and horses discard all the baggage, pass through the path that the guide said, merge with General Sun Jian's men and horses, and deal a hard blow to Liu Biaojun." In the end, remove the hundred guards stationed at the canal, let them carry a few cowhide drums here, once they heard the sound of fighting, whether it was the camp or Sun Jian, they immediately kept beating the drums, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Everyone responded together, they knew that tonight, there was a good show to watch.
At night, the stars are dim, the moon is dark, Sun Jian led the men and horses to fight for a day, but he still failed to break out of the encirclement, his men and horses were two thousand when they came, and now there are only less than one thousand left, Sun Jian feels that Wancheng and his eight-character offenders are in general, every time they come, something must happen!
The most important thing is that Sun Jian doesn't know anything about the current situation in Wancheng, but he just heard the sound of shouting and killing, which made Sun Jian's heart overflow with infinite self-blame, but he will not sink, he has turned this self-blame into the motivation to kill the enemy again and again, and he can't kill all the enemy soldiers to atone for himself, Sun Jian really wants to die here, but his anger exceeds reason, and his ancient ingot knife has drunk the blood of I don't know how many people.
"Kill!" Suddenly, a shout of killing came clearly through the mountain pass, and Sun Jian got up and was startled: "This is the voice of Liu Biao's army, listen to the direction of the voice, could it be that reinforcements have arrived in Wancheng?" ”
Sun Jian naturally didn't know that Wancheng did have reinforcements, but this reinforcement was none other than Gao Yi's Gao Jiajun!
