Chapter 407: Feint

After the meeting, Meng Zhong returned to his camp, gathered his generals, and told his generals about the strategy formulated by the coalition meeting.

In view of the fact that the strategy of 'feintting to attack Yin Jin and actually take Zheng County' was formulated by Meng Zhong, it seems that Wei generals such as Dou Xing, Wei Qing, and Jin Cong naturally did not have any suspicions, at most they were suspicious of the Qi and Yan armies.

No, when Meng Zhong arranged their respective tasks, Dou Xing couldn't help but speak: "Yun Chengjun's plan is really clever, and I admire it, but ...... Feint with the two armies of Qi and Yan to attack Yin Jin, are they really credible? I mean, in case the message 'leaks'......"

Of course, Meng Zhong understood what Dou Xing meant, shook his head and said in relief: "No." ”

It is true that it is very difficult to get the forces of the five countries to completely unite together, after all, the interests of each other are fundamentally different.

However, under the threat of Qin trying to take advantage of the lack of food for the coalition army to annihilate in one fell swoop, the coalition army will inevitably unite.

This unity may be short-lived, and may only continue until the coalition forces capture Yin Jin and relieve the coalition forces of the current hidden danger of food shortage, but at least at this moment, the attitude of Li Dui, Storm Kite, Meng Zhong, Tian Touch, and Le Yi is the same, that is, try to capture Yin Jin first, and then think about what follows.

As for the two armies of Qi and Yan - in fact, it is mainly Tian Touch's attitude.

It is undeniable that Tian Touch is the biggest hidden danger in the coalition army, and even he once secretly communicated with the Qin army, so when Dou Xing raised some disturbing questions, Meng Zhong also carefully considered the possibility of Tian Touch's betrayal of the coalition army.

But after much consideration, Meng Zhong did not think that Tian Touch would do that.

The reason is very simple, because the coalition army is short of food, which means that the Qi and Yan armies are also short of food, and even, in view of Li Dui's more or less bias towards the Sanjin coalition army, once the coalition army is completely in the embarrassment of lack of food, the problem of the Qi and Yan armies will be even greater.

In order to remove this hidden danger, it is necessary to capture Yin Jin and give the coalition forces the opportunity to obtain food and grass supplies from the waterway.

This also has a personal interest in the Qi and Yan armies on Tian Touch's side.

Indeed, it is indeed possible for Tian Touch to do the opposite, betraying the coalition forces in this attack on the Qin army, thus inflicting a devastating blow on the Three Jin coalition forces, but what is the result of doing so? The result is that he will inevitably be stuck in the neck of the Qin army - to put it bluntly, whether he and the two armies of Qi and Yan can retreat after betraying the Three Jin Dynasty depends on whether the Qin army is willing to let go of the two armies of Qi and Yan, and whether the Qin army will clean up the two armies of Qi and Yan together.

Based on this, Meng Zhong did not think that Tian Touch would do such a thing that harmed others and himself.

Therefore, even if Tian Touch has his own purpose, he must help the Three Jin Coalition Army to defeat the Yin Jin Dynasty in order to solve his own hidden danger of food shortage.

However, at that time, the coalition army captured the Yin and Jin Dynasty, and the army of Gongsun Zhishuai in the east of the river crossed the river, and his Wei and Han armies would undoubtedly have a greater right to speak, and he would not be afraid of Tian Touch's other ideas at that time.

In the same way, there is also Li Dui, the Fengyang Jun of Zhao State, Meng Zhong has no doubt that Li Dui actually has plans to negotiate peace with Qin State in his heart, but it doesn't matter, as long as he wins Yin Jin, Meng Zhong doesn't mind slowly consuming it with Qin - anyway, he never thought of completely destroying Qin State through a battle.

After receiving Meng Zhong's reply, Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Jin Contempt and others all nodded convincingly.

The rest, like Meng Hu, Hua Hu, and Le Jin, will not question Meng Zhong's judgment.

At this time, a soldier announced outside the tent: "Yunchengjun, Zhao Jianglian is quite eager to see." ”

"Invite him in."

In Jin Cong's somewhat unhappy gaze, Meng Zhong said with a smile.

After a while, Lian Po strode into the tent, smiling and saluting Meng Zhong and the generals present.

It turned out that since Meng Zhong and Li Dui and Storm Kite converged in Taolin a month ago, Lian Po and Han Zu, the two generals who had been temporarily under Meng Zhong's account, returned to their respective armies, until today, in view of the fact that Lian Po needs to go to Zheng County with Meng Hu, Hua Hu, and Jin Con, so Lian Po is temporarily under the command of Meng Zhong.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but Lian Sima has seen a lot of outsiders." Meng Zhong laughed and teased Lian Po, and immediately pretended to look at the generals in the tent a few times, and deliberately underestimated in a voice that everyone could hear: "Where is Lian Sima sitting?" Or, just sit on Jin Contempt's side, right? What does Lian Sima think? ”

Hearing this, the generals in the tent immediately laughed, who in the audience didn't know that Lian Po and Jin Contempt were 'not dealing with'?

"There is no objection to this."

Lian Po deliberately kept a straight face, glanced at Jin Contempt with disgusted eyes, and was so angry that Jin Contempt gritted his teeth.

After Lian Po sat down, Jin Wei glanced at Lian Po and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to, just say it...... Lao Tzu is still reluctant! What are you going to do? ”

"To make sure you can successfully defeat Zheng County?" Lian Po quarreled with Jin with great interest.

Not to mention, since returning to his army a month ago, Lian Po has rarely encountered Jin Contempt on weekdays.

How to say it, I miss it.

Whether it is the atmosphere on Wei Jun's side, or the fun of fighting with Jin.

Meng Zhong, who was sitting on the main seat, deliberately waited for a moment, laughing at Lian Po to integrate into them again in the way of bickering with Jin Contempt, until he found that Lian Po and Jin Contempt's bickering had a faint tendency to escalate into mutual cynicism, and he didn't stop itβ€”too much.

He asked Lian Po: "Lian Po, when you came this time, did Fengyang Jun explain to you in advance?" ”

Seeing Meng Zhong's question, Lian Po stopped arguing with Jin Contempt, and replied with his fists clenched: "Yes, Fengyangjun has already said something specific to Zaixia. ”

"Okay."

Meng Zhong nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at Hua Hu's side, and said to Lian Po: "I have handed over the matter of taking Zheng County to Hua Hu, and he has full command, do you have any objections?" ”

Lian Po glanced at Hua Hu, shook his head and said, "There is no objection to it." ”

For Hua Hu, Lian Po still feels very good, in his opinion, in addition to Meng Zhong on Wei Jun's side, Hua Hu may have the most overall view.

For example, when the night attack on the Shui Qin camp at the gate, Lian Po cooperated with Huahu very well.

Hearing Lian Po's answer, Hua Hu also showed a few smiles on his face, and when he was about to say a few words, he heard someone in the tent say timidly: "I have an objection......

Everyone was amazed in their hearts, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw that it was Meng Zhong who spoke.

Immediately, Hua Hu's face sank, and he scolded: "You have a fart objection!" ”

"What? Don't let people mention it yet? Meng Hu's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, pointed at Hua Hu and turned his head to Meng Zhong and said, "Ah Zhong, this kid can't be relied on......"

"Shut up, you're reliable?!" Hua Hu scolded back with a sneer.

Meng Zhong had a headache, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, Menghu, Huahu, Lian Po, Jin Contempt, the four of you can go down and prepare." ”

In the laughter of the rest of the generals, Meng Zhong sent Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Lian Po, and Jin Contempt away, leaving only Dou Xing, Wei Qing, and Le Jin, and then discussed the specific task assignment of 'feint attack on Yin Jin'.

Of course, although it is said to be a 'feint attack on Yin Jin', but this is based on the fact that the Qin army is on guard, if the Qin army on the opposite side is not prepared, then the coalition side does not mind taking the Yin Jin in one fell swoop, after all, directly attacking the Yin Jin, compared to getting the Yin Jin through a roundabout strategy, can solve the current problem of the coalition army's current lack of food faster.

In other words, tonight's coalition army's 'feint' on Yin Jin is actually not much different from a strong attack.

It's just that Meng Zhong personally thinks that the Qin army of Yin Jin should strengthen the garrison and not be easily succeeded by them, so he doesn't have much hope of directly capturing Yin Jin.

As it turned out, Meng Zhong's judgment was accurate.

The Qin envoy Gan Zhao and his entourage were all detained and strictly guarded by Li Dui, the king of Fengyang, so it was inevitable that the Qin army would have a misunderstanding, mistakenly believing that Gan Zhao was trying his best to persuade Li Dui and others, and mistakenly thought that their plan to delay the army had been somewhat effective.

But even so, neither Huayang Jun Qirong, who was stationed in Yin Jin, nor Bai Qi, who was stationed in the Qin camp outside the Yin Jin City, was negligent because of this.

Especially Bai Qi, he is still haunted by the negligence of the Menshui Qin Camp that time.

Although it was actually the negligence of the Qin generals to defend the aid that time, Bai Qi thought that it was his responsibility, because at that time, even he did not expect that Meng Zhong would actually launch a sneak attack on the Menshui Qin camp dozens of miles away.

Based on this, when Marquis Wei Ran convened a military meeting, Bai Qi once pointed out: "Doctor Gan Zhao has not yet returned, and may be negotiating with Li Dui to deceive Li Dui and the trust of the allied generals, but I think that even so, we should not take it lightly." …… Li Dui is a native of Zhao, and Zhao has not yet had a direct conflict of interest with my Great Qin, so Li Dui is inclined to negotiate peace with my Great Qin, but Meng Zhong and Storm Kite are different, the two Wei and Han represented by these two people have an ineradicable conflict with our Great Qin, and they will never give up any opportunity to weaken our Great Qin. …… Especially Meng Zhong, don't look at this person most of the time to use troops in the right way, but what this guy is best at is actually surprise attacks, such as attacking the Menshui military camp at night, and feigning Dumenshui actually secretly ordered the cavalry of Fangcheng to sneak into the land of Huakun...... At present, the coalition army is in the dilemma of lack of food because of the advance of the front for more than 200 miles in one go, and the only way to solve its food shortage problem is to capture the Yin and Jin Dynasty, and after the capture of the Yin and Jin Dynasty, the coalition army can borrow grain from Hedong County of Wei on the other side of the river, and can also obtain grain and grass through water transportation...... According to my understanding of Meng Zhong, he will take Yin Jin, and we have to guard against this. ”

Hearing this inference, Wei Ran and Sima Cuo both nodded secretly.

"Does Elder Sima have anything to add?" Wei Ran turned his head and asked Sima Wrong.

I saw Sima Cuo glance at Bai Qi with a slightly complicated expression, then shook his head and said, "The national lieutenant has already said it perfectly, and there is nothing to add. ”

The reason why he was in a complicated mood was not because he still had any opinions about Bai Qi, but he regretted that generals like Bai Qi were not 'Wang Chen', but people from the Empress Dowager Xuan and Marquis Wei Ran.

And what made Sima Cuo even more regrettable was that among the courtiers in the country who were truly loyal to him as the monarch of the Qin State, there was no general who could be compared with Bai Qi for the time being.

The military power fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Marquis Wei Ran, and Sima Cuo was somewhat uneasy in his heart.

And here, Wei Ran didn't think about it so much, he heard Sima Cuo's reply, and he was even more satisfied with Bai Qi in his heart.

The changes in the past few years, Wei Ran has seen it in his eyes.

He still remembers that a few years ago, when he recommended Bai Qi, this kid could still be frizzy, and he didn't take the world's famous generals in his eyes at all, like Gongsun Xi of Wei and Tyranny Kite of South Korea, in the eyes of this kid, he seemed to have become a mediocre general who would only follow Kuang Zhang to pick up cheap.

But after a few years, this young man has become more and more stable, and his consideration has become more and more thorough, and Wei Ran personally believes that today's Bai Qi has enough ability to replace Sima Cuo.

For example, this time, Bai Qi accurately grasped the key to the coalition army, and concluded that the coalition army was very likely to attack Yin Jin, and his reaction was faster than everyone present.

I have to say that Bai Qi has been honed a lot over the years.

And Meng Zhong is the whetstone that rises whitely.

It's just that this whetstone is inevitably too tough......

I have to say that Meng Zhong's performance in this battle greatly exceeded Wei Ran's expectations, from Hangu Pass to Menshui, and then to Qiangdu Menshui, it is not so much that his Qin army was defeated by the Five Nations Alliance, but that he was defeated by Meng Zhong - that Song man simply suppressed his Qin army from beginning to end, leading his Qin army by the nose.

Wei Ran once disagreed with that Meng Zhong, but gradually, even he seemed to be affected by Bai Qi, and couldn't help but have a little reverie: If that Meng Zhong was willing to defect to his Great Qin, who else in the Central Plains could stop him from entering the Central Plains eastward?

But unfortunately, looking at the attention that Meng Zhong has received in the Wei State now, it is almost impossible for this person to defect to the Qin State, and Wei Ran can only hope for Bai Qi, hoping that Bai Qi can defeat Meng Zhong.

"Fight well, after defeating the coalition army and defeating Na Mengzhong this time, I will recommend you in front of the king and grant you the title of Yijun."

After the meeting, Wei Ran left Bai Qi alone and encouraged the latter.

Bai Qi received Wei Ran's encouragement, and his heart was surging.

Around midnight that night, the coalition camp was silent.

During this period, the cavalry of Yiqu passed by, peeking at the movements of the coalition joint camp from a distance, but did not find anything abnormal.

However, in the camp of the coalition army, in the camp of the Zhao army, Zhao Xi, the general of Zhao, stood on the sentry tower, staring intently at the night outside the camp.

He knew that at this moment, under the night outside the camp, there were countless Yiqu cavalry wandering, and at the moment when the Fangcheng cavalry was ordered to sneak attack Zheng County, it was necessary for him Zhao State cavalry to lure away those Yiqu cavalry.

"Sima, Zhang Ji, they're here."

Suddenly, a guard said to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi turned his head to look at the bottom of the sentry tower, and saw that Zhang Ji and other horsemen were indeed waiting under the sentry tower, so he got off the sentry tower and came to Zhang Ji and the others.

"Do you know what you do?" Zhao Xi asked Zhang Ji and the others in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ji and other horsemen hugged their fists and received their orders.

Seeing this, Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction, and immediately lowered his voice and ordered: "Take a team of two hundred people, go out of the camp every other moment, try not to make those Yiqu cavalry suspicious, pretend to monitor the movements of the Qin army, and find a way to lure those Yiqu cavalry away." ”

"No!"

"Let's go!"

With Zhao Xi's order, the cavalry of Zhao State began to move.

They were in a group of 200 men, and every moment they quietly left the camp through several of the coalition camp gates, and went straight to the night outside the camp.

During this period, Zhao Xi listened to the movements outside the camp with a solemn expression.

He faintly heard the staccato sound of invectives and horses' hooves in the distance outside the camp, and sometimes the sound of soldiers and horses' hooves.

"I hope everything goes well......

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xi turned to the guards and said, "Inform the Wei army that it is time to act, and the cavalry of our army will be responsible for covering them." ”

"No!" The guards clenched their fists and left.

A moment later, Meng Zhong received a message from Zhao Xi, and he immediately summoned Dou Xing and Wei Qing, two generals, and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Dou Xing and Wei Qing nodded and said, "You can leave at any time." ”

Meng Zhong nodded and ordered: "At the right moment, the two of you will take the lead and attack Baiqi's camp first. …… It doesn't matter whether or not they can capture their camps, they try to burn their camps as much as possible, and they can grab the grain and grass in their army, and burn them if they can't. The problem of food shortage in the Qin army is not optimistic, if you can give them a little pressure, give them a little pressure! After the two of you engage with Bai Qijun, I will launch a fierce attack with Li Dui, Storm Kite, Tian Touch, and others. ”

"No!"

Dou Xing and Wei Qing hugged their fists to lead their lives.

After bidding farewell to Meng Zhong, Dou Xing and Wei Qing returned to the camp.

At this time, the camp of the Wei army seemed to be silent, as if tens of thousands of Wei troops had already fallen asleep, but in fact, every Wei soldier was waiting in the tent with a weapon in his hand, waiting for the order to attack that might appear at any time.

Finally, when the time came, Dou Xing and Wei Qing decisively led the army out of the camp, leading a team like a long snake and going straight to the Qin army camp in the distance.

On the way, some Wei pawns heard the movement of the horses' hooves, but the black lights were blind, and they didn't know whether it was the Zhao cavalry or the Yiqu cavalry.

But Dou Xing and Wei Qing's orders were very simple: ignore the cavalry and kill directly to the Qin camp!

Yes, sending the cavalry of Zhao State to lead away the Yiqu cavalry is just to reduce the exposure of their own actions as much as possible, but it doesn't matter if they can't prevent the exposure of their whereabouts, after all, tonight, in addition to Menghu, Huahu, Lian Po, and Jin Contempt, who are responsible for the night attack on Zheng County, the rest of the nearly 200,000 coalition troops will launch a surprise attack on the Qin army and Yiqu cavalry outside Yinjin City and Yin Jin City.

It is best to be able to take advantage of the situation to defeat Yin Jin, but if you can't beat it, then use these 200,000 people to cover the strange soldiers who attacked Zheng County at night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Sure enough, the Qin camp outside the Yin Jin City was very well guarded, and before the Wei army led by Dou Xing and Wei Qing arrived, the camp sensed that something was wrong.

Immediately, the early warning sound of "bell bell bell" resounded throughout the Qin camp, alarming Bai Qi, who was reading books with lights in the tent in the camp.

I saw that Bai Qi immediately threw down the books in his hand, put on his coat and ran out of the tent, and asked with a serious expression: "Why is there an early warning in the camp?" ”

The Qin pawn who was guarding outside the tent shook his head and said that he didn't know.

Bai Qi frowned, and out of caution, he immediately ordered to wake up the rest soldiers in the camp, and ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the order from his side was issued, a soldier hurriedly rushed to him and knocked on the ground and said, "Captain, there are enemy troops attacking our battalion, and the defenders of the eastern camp are fighting with them!" ”

"Sure enough, ......"

Bai Qi sneered, he had already guessed that Meng Zhong would not be so peaceful.

No, then Meng Zhong really did it.

"Humph! Attacking my camp, in fact, you want to take the Yin Jin, right? Dream!'

With a sneer, Bai Qi immediately ordered the guards on the left and right: "Immediately send someone to Yin Jin to remind Huayang Jun, so that he doesn't have to support my battalion, just hold Yin Jin." …… Yin Jin, must not fall into the hands of the coalition forces, otherwise the big thing will be over! ”

"No!" Left and right as ordered.

Looking at the backs of those people leaving, Bai Qi secretly sneered.

Suddenly, there was a slight confusion on his face.

"Wait...... Meng Zhong's intention is probably to feint against our battalion to actually win Yin Jin, but it stands to reason that there are only two armies of Wei and Han to support him, is his strength enough?"

Thinking of this, Bai Qi's expression was uncertain.

He knew Meng Zhong very well, if he only had the support of the Wei and Han armies, he knew that Meng Zhong would never dare to make such a big move.

"Is it ......?"

Squinting his eyes, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
