Chapter 153: Fraudulent Death
"How?" In the Taishou Mansion, Han Xuan urgently looked at the generals who went to inquire about the news, the eight hundred soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, in addition to him and Huang Zhong, there were only a few dozen soldiers who fled back, and now Han Xuan could only hope that Huang Zhong's arrow would successfully shoot Liu Yi, otherwise this battle would be a big loss.
"Fu Jun, the camp of the thief army is heavily guarded, and our army sentry can't get close." The military general glanced at Huang Zhong, who had a white cloth wrapped around his arm, and sighed.
"Don't worry, my arrow will definitely hit the commander of the thief army, even if you don't die, I'm afraid I will be seriously injured!" Huang Zhong was sure that he had enough confidence in his archery skills.
"If you shoot, why isn't the camp chaotic!?" Han Xuan glared at Huang Zhong with some resentment: "Waste! ”
He had a reason to be resentful, if it weren't for Huang Zhong coming up with such an unreliable plan, how could he be in danger? How could those 800 soldiers be wiped out? You must know that although Linxiang is a county governor, the defenders are only two thousand, Huang Zhong tossed like this, and before the battle was officially opened, nearly half of the men and horses were broken, which made Han Xuan hate Huang Zhong in his heart.
Huang Zhong wanted to speak, but when he heard this, his face turned red, his old face was dry, and in the eyes of the generals, he saluted Han Xuan, turned around and left the hall.
"Fujun, General Huang is also eager to break the enemy's heart, and he is not harmless." Seeing that Han Xuan's anger had not subsided, a general bowed down and said, "Now that the great enemy is now, it is the time when General Huang needs to be brave. ”
"If it weren't for that, how could he be alive!?" Han Xuan said angrily.
When the generals heard this, they didn't dare to say anything more, Han Xuan paced back and forth, and then looked at the generals and said: "Yiyang and Xiangnan are no longer defendable, but the three cities of Rongling, Chaling, and Youxian are still there, immediately send someone to notify the guards of the three cities, transfer all the soldiers, grain and grass in the city, and send people to Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling counties to ask for help. ”
Anyway, most of those people surrendered, so it was better to gather their troops and horses in one place and wait for help.
"The prince can't!" A general was shocked when he heard this: "If this is the case, the thief army only needs to intercept half a way, and they can intercept all the grain, grass, soldiers and horses in the three cities!" Not only could it not help, but it gave the enemy a chance! ”
Han Xuan was even more irritable when he heard this: "Then what do you say?" ”
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and one of them thought for a while and said: "It is feasible to send people to the three counties for help, but from the point of view of the last general, you can ask Wuling Taishou to send troops to cut off the back road of the thief army, and the soldiers of Guiyang and Lingling two counties will join forces to attack, and then we will wait for the two sides to attack, then Liu Beijun is brave, and it is difficult to escape defeat!" Until then, we only need to strengthen the city walls, and we will not be able to defend them. ”
Han Xuan thought about it, and he could only do so, while sending people to notify the three counties to send troops to rescue, and on the other hand, he continued to send sentinels to investigate the movements of Liu Yi's camp.
……
"In this way, now there are still more than a thousand soldiers and horses under Han Xuan?" In Liu Yi's camp, looking at the majesty of the torture of the enemy general's statement, Liu Yi frowned and stood with his hands in his hands.
"Yes, in Linxiang City, there were already 2,000 soldiers, and now they have 800, and there should be more than 1,200 people." Wei Yan nodded in response.
"1,200 people, if you defend the city, it is still more than enough." Liu Yi nodded and thought about it: "I have to think of a trick to let that Han Xuan send troops again." ”
Wei Yan smiled and said: "Sir, he folded his eight hundred soldiers for nothing, so how can Han Xuan have the courage to come out again now?" ”
"Didn't you notice?" Liu Yi turned his head to look at Wei Yandao.
"What?" Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.
"That Han Xuan has no plan, no courage, and no opinion." Liu Yi sneered: "Eight hundred people came today, I'm afraid that there are archers in Han Xuan's army, thinking that they can kill me, let Han Xuan come and shout, in fact, if I really show up, I will not die, but I will also be seriously injured!" ”
Thinking about the death of the soldier, Liu Yi shuddered a little, and swore that he would definitely be more careful in the future, it was best not to participate in the war anymore, and concentrate on his own research, this battlefield was too dangerous, if he hadn't kept an extra eye, he might not know what the situation would have happened now.
"Uh......" Wei Yan didn't understand what Liu Yi meant: "Sir, are you saying that the other party's sharpshooter is quite good?" ”
"It's really good, but it also shows Han Xuan's unscrupulousness, he is also the commander of the First Army, how could he listen to the generals so easily and put himself in danger, I haven't seen him, wouldn't it be better to send a stand-in to do it?" Liu Yi didn't know what Han Xuan thought when he decided to come out, his distance was really out of reach for many soldiers, but he didn't want to think that he only had 800 soldiers, if he didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and directly sent troops out, the 800 soldiers would also have to lose most of them.
Wei Yan suddenly realized: "So what does Mr. mean by that?" ”
Liu Yi didn't want to speak anymore, so he glanced at Wei Yan helplessly and said, "I just said that he is very easy to deceive!" ”
Wei Yan: "......"
Can the way of speaking be simpler? Is it interesting that a one-sentence thing has come full circle?
"Does that gentleman have a clever plan?" Wei Yanka paused for a moment before looking at Liu Yi and asked.
"Not yet." Liu Yi shook his head, and after carefully recalling today's battle, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Wei Yan and said, "You say, if I am really shot to death today, will Han Xuan send troops?" ”
Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi in amazement, then reacted, nodded silently and said, "If it is the last general, he will definitely take advantage of the chaos to send troops." ”
"Okay, then when I am shot dead, you find some people to cry, and at the same time order the soldiers to hang white silk in the camp and prepare to withdraw the army." Liu Yi nodded with a smile.
"Sir, that's not lucky, is it?" Liu Sandao on the side looked at Liu Yi with some concern: "I heard that this kind of thing is easy to provoke ghosts, and many people are really dead not long after pretending to be dead!" ”
Liu Yi looked at Liu Sandao with a smile and spit out one word: "Get out!" ”
"Whoa!" Liu Sandao had a bitter face, he was obviously kind, and after bowing, he withdrew from the handsome tent.
"I'm going to do it!" Wei Yan saw Liu Yi's gaze sweeping, and he hurriedly bowed, turned around and left, for fear that Liu Yi would be angry with him.
"Where is Wen Chang going?" As soon as Wei Yan came out, he bumped into Guan Ping who came over, and Guan Ping greeted him.
"The gentleman has given an order, and the general will carry it out!" Wei Yan hugged Guan Ping and left.
Guan Ping didn't ask much, turned around and entered the tent, and saluted Liu Yi: "Sir, the sentinel sent by the last general intercepted a messenger sent by Han Xuan outside the city and intercepted a letter. ”
Liu Yi stretched out his hand to take it, directly dismantled the fire paint, opened the bamboo slip, his eyes swept over the bamboo slip, his brows furrowed slightly, this is a letter of help sent by Han Xuan to Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, please Zhao Fan and Lingling Taishou join forces together, come to destroy the enemy, I think there should be a letter for Liu Du for help.
Liu Yi handed the letterhead to Guan Ping and said: "Someone repaints the fire, in addition, you go and hand over to Wei Yan, you are responsible for the affairs in the camp, let him come to see me!" ”
When Guan Ping heard this, he didn't ask much, took the fire paint, and after saluting Liu Yi, he turned around and left.
Because Liu Yi's strategy had to be explained in detail, when Wei Yan returned to the tent again, it was already a quarter of an hour later, and he saluted Liu Yi and said, "Sir, are you looking for me?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Yi thought for a while and said: "You immediately order a school of soldiers and horses to go to the Rongling area, you don't have to worry about Liu Feng's affairs, just send a sentry to Guiyang to investigate, if Zhao Fan mobilizes troops and horses to help, find a place to set up an ambush, and ambush Zhao Fan." ”
At the end, Liu Yi did not forget to instruct: "Remember, act at the opportunity, don't be reckless, I am not familiar with the terrain in the Guiyang area, so I won't give you a random strategy, you are fully responsible for this battle, you can't call Zhao Fan's reinforcements over!" ”
"Whoa!" When Wei Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, if the ambush is successful, why not take advantage of the situation to take Guiyang?" ”
"Don't ask me!" Liu Yi glanced at Wei Yan and said, if it were himself, he would only take it step by step, because he would not fight, his steps were too big, and he was easy to mess up, which was the biggest drawback of a novice commander, but Wei Yan was an expert, since he handed over the matter to him, Liu Yi would not ask more, eight hundred soldiers, if he could really take Guiyang, it would be earned, and he could not take it, for Liu Yi, the loss was not big, after all, in the army now, it is basically recruited by Changsha to surrender the army.
"Whoa!" Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Liu Yi: "Sir, let's wait for the good news at the end." ”
"Don't be careless!" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan, who was inexplicably excited, and said with some amusement.
After sending Wei Yan away, Liu Yi began to arrange the camp, and at the same time, the external vigilance was also relaxed a lot, so that the enemy sentry could get close to observe, and at the same time found some people with loud voices to cry collectively, anyway, it was to make the camp mourn.
This news naturally quickly spread to Linxiang City.
"Are you sure?" Han Xuan frowned and looked at the sentinel who came back to report.
"It's true!" The sentry patted his chest and said: "The last general saw with his own eyes that when the time of the unitary time arrived, there was a mourning in the big camp, and some people began to hang white silk in the camp, and the outposts on the periphery also withdrew one after another, it seems that they are preparing to pull out the camp and start the village." ”
General Han Xuan was suspicious, but one of the generals on the side was overjoyed and said: "Fujun, this is a good opportunity to break the enemy, it must be General Han Sheng's arrow that hit the commander of the thief army, but he has not been shot, and now he is dying, this is the time when the thief army is in turmoil, it is better for me to send troops tonight, and break the thief in a battle, not only can solve my trouble in Changsha, but also can show merit to the prime minister." ”
"This ......" Han Xuan hesitated a little and wanted to ask Huang Zhong, but found that Huang Zhong was not there.
It's not difficult to understand when you think about it, Huang Zhong has a fiery temper, and he was humiliated by him in public today, how can he have the face to come again?
The generals also persuaded one after another, but one of the generals frowned and said: "Fujun, it is better to invite General Hansheng to come out to discuss, it is easier to break the enemy with Taiwan." ”
"Humph!" When Han Xuan heard this, he was unhappy in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Isn't it that I can't break the enemy without him?" Pass on my military orders and assemble ...... Six hundred elites, tonight, go to attack the camp! ”
