Chapter 31: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
Early in the morning, Guo Tu hurriedly walked into Yuan Tan's big tent.
"My lord, Cao Junjun sent a letter. Let the lord personally go to the plain city to receive the edict of the Son of Heaven!! ”
Yuan Tan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
"Why, do you want to do something to me? I don't want to change to a better strategy!! ”
"This... It seems that it is obviously not good for the lord. But if you think about it, this kind of strategy can be seen through at a glance. They won't use it, and they agreed that we would bring the army into the city. I'm afraid it's Yuan Shang's troops that force them to cooperate with us! ”
Guo Tu said with a smile, and Yuan Tan turned around violently.
"What?! They allowed me to bring troops into the city?! ”
Yuan Tan walked back and forth slowly, his brows furrowed. Muttered:
"Aren't they afraid that we will be bad for them?! Is it a sign of sincerity to me, or is there some other conspiracy..."
Guo Tu stepped forward and followed Yuan Tan's footsteps.
"My lord, please think about it, now that Yuan Shang personally led the army to attack behind them, at this moment, what they are most afraid of is that we and Yuan Shang will attack on both sides. So they must be courting us, and this is also our chance, and the lord can take the opportunity to carve up Jizhou with them. At such times, whatever we ask, they will agree. Think twice!! ”
Yuan Tan's footsteps paused, and his frowning brows relaxed. Nodding.
"What Mr. said makes sense, let's do it, let's lead 20,000 elite soldiers into the city, and the rest of the army will advance ten miles, so that our trip will be foolproof!!"
"The Lord is wise..."
Late at night, a ride sneaked out of the Plains City. Go straight to the direction of Jizhou...
After a few days of marching, Yuan Shang led the army less than a hundred miles away from Pingyuan County...
Han Shizhong sat in the big tent with his brows furrowed, what he was thinking about was not how to seize Pingyuan County. What he cares about is the military power in his hands, and he knows that Yuan Shang is uneasy and kind to bring him out this time!!
At that moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent. Han Li walked in with an excited face.
"Father, the inner line in Plains City is here to report. Yuan Tan wanted to enter the city in person to accept the edict of the Son of Heaven. This shows that they have long been secretly colluding to annihilate us in one fell swoop, and more importantly. Yuan Tan left the barracks, if we bypassed Plains City. If you attack his barracks..."
Han Shizhong immediately understood what Han Li meant, laughed, and looked at his son.
"Good!! I didn't get discouraged because I failed. Worthy of my son. Let's go, go to see the lord!! ”
In the military, if you want to stabilize your power, you must rely on prestige, and if you want prestige, you must have military exploits. If Yuan Tan's camp can be broken this time, Han Shizhong will no longer have to worry about his status in the army...
When he came to Yuan Shang's big tent, Han Shizhong bowed his hand.
"Virtuous nephew, according to the insider's report. Tomorrow, Yuan Tan will enter the plain city to receive the edict of the Son of Heaven, once the edict is announced to the world, everything that belongs to the virtuous nephew will be owned by others!! ”
Han Shizhong did not ask to fight as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew Yuan Shang too well, and the contradictions between their brothers had surpassed all things, and sure enough, after listening to Han Shizhong. Yuan Shang immediately took the case.
"Humph!! Trying to take away my stuff. Don't!! ”
Seeing this, Han Shizhong immediately said:
"Virtuous nephew, now that Yuan Tan enters the Plains City, then his camp will be leaderless. If we go around Plains City. Surprise attack on his base camp. Big things can be done!! ”
"No!! Not only that, but another 50,000 troops will be transferred to Jizhou. The plains were walled up. As long as you can hold them back, you can annihilate his army!! ”
A cold light flashed in Yuan Shang's eyes...
In the city of Jizhou, Song Zhong led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to support Yuan Shang. At this moment, Xu Huang's army was less than two hundred miles away from Jizhou. Li Ming broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't even know that Song Zhong was still leading 50,000 elite soldiers in Jizhou City. If Cao Jun arrives at this time. He didn't dare to imagine, but fortunately now that he was transferred away by Yuan Shang, Jizhou was even more empty...
Early in the morning, in the lobby of the General's Mansion in Plains City. Xu Chu held a banquet to entertain Yuan Tan who came. After thirty years of drinking, Xu Tian on the side picked up the wine bottle and said to Yuan Tan:
"General Yuan is really a handsome man in the world, and he did not take advantage of the danger of others, and only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses into the city. This courage. Admire under it. To General Yuan!! ”
Yuan Shang laughed, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
"You are so sincere, you don't dare to get an inch. General Xu, now you can hand over the edict of the Son of Heaven to your subordinates!! ”
"That's nature!!"
Xu Chu waved his hand. The guards on the side handed over the edict of the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shang opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled.
"Now we should congratulate General Yuan on getting back what belongs to him. Come, let's all pay tribute to General Yuan!! ”
Guo Tu's brows gradually furrowed, he always felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't say it, everything went too smoothly as he expected. But at this time, he couldn't say anything. You can only drink with a smile.
An hour later, the two sergeants helped Yuan Tan, who was already unsteady, to the pre-arranged room. Guo Tu followed him worriedly and came to the room. After retreating left and right, Guo Tu said to Yuan Tan, who was already asleep:
"My lord, you can't stay here for long. I always feel like something is going to happen, so let's hurry back to the barracks!! ”
And at this moment, Yuan Tan couldn't understand Guo Tu's words at all. From time to time, he burst out laughing and muttered:
"Mine, it's all mine, no one can take it away... Haha, my..."
Guo Tu was helpless and walked out of the room. He was going back to his room. Brush this matter back and forth to see what's wrong. At this moment, a guard walked towards Guo Tu at great speed.
"Lord Guo, there is a sergeant in the camp who wants to see him, and it is at the south gate!!"
Guo Tu's heart jumped.
"Lead the way!!
At the south gate, a bloodstained sergeant immediately knelt on the ground when he saw Guo Tu.
"My lord, my lord!! Our base camp is gone. Yuan Shang attacked the camp and we were caught off guard. The brethren were scattered!! ”
Guo Tu closed his eyes, he knew, knew what was wrong. Thousands of calculations. I didn't count that Yuan Shang would raid the camp...
In the general's mansion, Xu Tian and the three sat opposite each other. Zhang He spoke first
"Sir's trick is really amazing, deliberately leaking information to Yuan Shang and asking him to sneak attack Yuan Tan. Now, their brother is going to die for you!! ”
In this way, Yuan Tan will definitely transfer troops to Qingzhou. The more we mess up here, the better the chances of the prime minister......"
Xu Tian said with a smile. He looked at the night sky outside the house, and the most critical moment was coming...
