"Zhangzi, the Song army didn't come to attack last night, I don't know what arrangements we should make next?"

After the sky was bright, the Qi general Tian Touch was sure that the Song army would not attack again, so he led the army back to the garrison and asked Tian Zhang about the next arrangements.

At this time, Tian Zhang was also shocked by last night's calm, and he couldn't figure out why Dai Busheng, who had always been strong and easy to use, could hold back his recklessness this time.

After pondering for a while, Tian Zhang stroked his beard and muttered, "Since Song Jun didn't dare to act rashly last night, I'll wait...... Set up camp here, and then see how the sun reacts. ”

Obviously, he still did not want to give up the strategy of luring the enemy out of the city.

Tian touched his fist and received the order, and began to arrange for the soldiers to camp in the village.

Fortfortunately, less than two days after the prince Dai Wu retreated to Qiyang in a hurry, Tian Zhang led an army of 50,000 to arrive in Qiyang, which made the Song army not have enough time to implement the color of "Qingye", so there are still a lot of woods and timber in the mountains and forests nearby, which can be used by the Qi army to build a camp.

However, just when the Qi soldiers were cutting down trees to build a camp, Tian Touch suddenly got a report.

"Yu Sima, our sergeant was attacked by the Song army when he was cutting down trees!"

"What?"

After hearing the news, Tian Touch couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the bright sun in the sky.

Unlike Tian Zhang's interpretation of the results of last night's incident, Song Jun was indifferent last night, which seemed to Tian Zhang to be a dangerous message, because he suspected that someone had seen through his plan to lure the enemy, but Tian Touch had other ideas, he felt that Song Jun was frightened by the two defeats in Xueyi, so that even if they took the initiative to create an opportunity for Song Jun to attack at night, Song Jun did not dare to come to attack at night.

It was precisely because of this idea that Tian Touch was really stunned on the spot when he learned that the Song army had sent people to attack their soldiers who were cutting down trees: a group of cowards who had not dared to go out of the city to attack them last night when they had the opportunity to attack them, but they dared to lead the crowd to attack in the daytime?

Although he was skeptical about this, considering that the soldiers in front of him did not dare to lie about the military situation, Tian Yan finally immediately gathered his soldiers and went out of the garrison to the woods where the accident occurred.

However, when Tian Touch led thousands of soldiers to the woods on the southeast side of the garrison, he was shocked to find that there was indeed a banner Song army driving away the soldiers who were in charge of cutting down trees.

And looking at the banner, this Song army seems to be the army under Dai Busheng.

"What's the matter, this is too bad...... Looking at the measures he led his army to harass today, we know that he has the intention to prevent our army from setting up camp here. In that case, why didn't he come last night? Obviously, you can take advantage of the convenience of the night, but you have to lead the army to attack in the daytime, under the nose of our army...... Could it be that he saw through Zhangzi's plan to lure the enemy? Knowing that our army will definitely set up an ambush last night? Impossible!'

Tian Touch shook his head secretly, leaving the cranky thoughts in his heart behind, after all, according to his understanding of Dai Busheng, the Sima of the Song Army, he knew that Dai Busheng led the army bravely, but he was reckless, not to mention a general who expected the enemy first, how could he see through the strategy of his famous general Tian Zhang?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Tian Touch said secretly, and immediately ordered his army to meet the Song army in the distance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he led the army to resist, the Song army in the distance immediately turned around and withdrew.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng was really stunned for a moment, and then snorted contemptuously: "A cowardly person is a cowardly person!" ”

But since the Song army retreated decisively, Tian Touch didn't bother to catch up, after all, this place was too close to Qiyang City, and in such a short distance, he couldn't cut off Dai Busheng's retreat, and besides, compared to chasing Dai Busheng, it was more important to set up camp after all-if his Qi army was here, and successfully camped only ten miles away from Qiyang, this would definitely be a huge threat to Qiyang City.

However, what Tian Touch never expected was that he had just returned to the garrison with his army, but he immediately got the news: the Song general Dai Busheng had returned and led 3,000 soldiers to attack the soldiers who were cutting down trees.

"What?!"

Tian Touch's face was full of astonishment, and without saying a word, he led his army to attack again and went to stop the Song army under Dai Busheng's command.

However, the result was the same as the previous time, and when he led his army to the woods, the Song troops immediately turned and retreated, not confronting them at all.

Considering that Dai Busheng had gone and returned last time, Tian Tuo simply ordered his army to be stationed in the woods this time to prevent Dai Busheng from going and returning again.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, Dai Busheng returned again with the three thousand soldiers.

Seeing this, Tian Touch secretly sneered: I will lead the army to garrison here, and see what else you have to harass my sergeants!

He thought that this move would make Dai Busheng on the opposite side grit his teeth, but he didn't know that at this time, Dai Busheng in the distance was standing on the chariot and laughing.

I saw Dai Busheng say to the guards on the left and right: "Do you believe it, I can ask the Qi army on the opposite side to go west!" ”

In fact, the left and right guards had already learned some information from Dai Busheng's mouth before, but since their own army generals were interested in this, of course they expressed their disbelief with each other.

Therefore, Dai Busheng ordered his 3,000 troops to march westward, assuming a posture, as if to attack the soldiers in another wood.

Sure enough, seeing the Song army heading west, as if to attack the Qi army in the woods on the west side, Tian Touch immediately ordered his soldiers to move westward to maintain a confrontation with the Song army.

As a result, after arriving at the woods on the west side, Dai Busheng said to the nearby soldiers: "If you believe it or not, I can ask the Qi army on the opposite side to go east again." ”

The soldiers laughed, but they all expressed their disbelief.

So Dai Busheng immediately ordered his soldiers to go east again, returning to the woods on the east side where they were originally located, and Tian Touch immediately led the army back to the woods on the east side.

At first, Tian Touch thought that he had successfully prevented Dai Busheng from waiting for an opportunity to attack them, but after a few back and forth, he found that Dai Busheng on the other side was clearly playing tricks on him, deliberately forcing him to follow the actions of the Song army again and again.

Especially when every time they moved, there was a burst of laughter from the ranks of the Song army in the distance, and even a fool could see it after such a few times.

In a fit of rage, he immediately ordered his soldiers to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing this, Dai Busheng laughed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Ha, the Qi army on the other side is angry, I should retreat quickly." ”

He didn't confront Tian Touch's head-on at all, Tian Touch's army was 100 zhang forward, he retreated 100 zhang, but if Tian Touch's army retreated to 100 zhang, then he immediately advanced 100 zhang, no more, no less, still holding a certain distance from the Qi army, and what was even more odious was that Dai Busheng also ordered his soldiers to suddenly move forward from time to time, shooting arrows at the Qi soldiers who were cutting down trees, and when Tian Touch's army was about to counterattack with crossbow arrows, Song soldiers immediately retreated and retreated to their original positions.

Although there were actually very few Qi soldiers who died under the arrows, the obviously mocking laughter of the Song soldiers made the Qi soldiers who cut down trees, including the Qi soldiers under Tian Touch, grit their teeth with hatred.

"Invincible!"

Annoyed, Tian Touch rode a chariot to the front of the battle, and shouted to the Song army opposite: "If you have the guts, you will lead the crowd to attack, I Tian Touch will never take a step back, if you have no courage, I advise you to retreat to the sun as soon as possible, and wait for the day when the city will be broken and awarded!" ”

On weekdays, Dai Busheng was most annoyed when he heard this, but today he played the Qi army several times, and took advantage of this incident to rekindle the morale of the soldiers under his command, and he was in a good mood, so he also rode out of the chariot and smiled at Tian Touche on the opposite side: "The milky boy has not dried up, his tone is not small!" …… Do you think your tricks can fool us? Last night, I waited all night and blew a cold wind all night, this taste is not pleasant, right? Yes? Hahahaha-"

"Huh?"

Tian Touch was stunned when he heard this, looked at Dai Busheng's eyes in the distance and was shocked, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

"This is invincible, but he really expected our army to set up an ambush last night? How is this possible?!'

After thinking about it, he sneered: "What blew the cold wind all night? I don't know, I just know that I slept very well last night, after all, there are some cowards, they don't dare to go out of the city to attack......"

"Hahaha, my mouth is very hard." Dai Busheng laughed.

Don't look at Dai Busheng brave and resourceful, but he is also in his fifties, he has seen all kinds of people, and seeing that Tian Touche did not reply at the first time, he has already guessed that the Qi army did set up an ambush last night, and even one of them is to face this young boy's participation, and then hear Tian Touch's words that tried to provoke him again, Dai Busheng was even more convinced in his heart.

Some people may find it strange that Dai Busheng was not such a resourceful person, how did he suddenly become so powerful?

In fact, this matter is not complicated to explain: the reason why the Song army lost in Xueyi before was because the Qi army had a famous general Tian Zhang who could have excellent vision and could grasp the entire strategy, while the Song army lacked such a role, but now the arrival of Meng Zhong has made up for the shortcomings of the Song army in this regard, so that the Song army can also grasp the intentions of the Qi army in advance, as long as Meng Zhong's judgment is correct, and Dai Busheng also believes in Meng Zhong's judgment, the latter can naturally guess some of the Qi army's intentions.

To put it simply, this is just Dai Busheng's intention to "make up" the Qi army according to this line of thought under the condition of believing in Meng Zhong's strategic judgment, and the result is just guessing the intention of the Qi army.

To put it bluntly, that is, Meng Zhong gave Dai Busheng, Dai Yingzhi, and the crown prince Dai Wu a general direction, as long as they act in this general direction, they will naturally not give the Qi army a chance to take advantage of it.

"Hard-mouthed? I think you're hard-mouthed! ”

Tian Tuo, who was on the other side, sneered: "Obviously unwilling to allow our army to set up camp ten miles away from the city, but I didn't dare to go out of the city to repel our army, so I adopted this ridiculous trick of I advancing and you retreating." …… I hope you can use this trick to repel our army! ”

"Hahaha!" Dai Busheng laughed when he heard this, and laughed loudly: "Boy, it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, I led the army out of the city today, not to harass your army at all, but just to make fun of you." …… You go back and tell Tian Zhang, I wish he had set up camp in this place only ten miles away from the sun. I can swear to God here that you will never be able to hold this camp! …… Okay, Dai has done his best today, so he will lead the army to evacuate, you can set up camp here quietly, you don't have to play any tricks, make any tricks to lure the enemy, when it is time to attack, our army will attack. But remember, if you can't hold this camp, you won't be able to hold it! ”

After saying these words, Dai Busheng laughed and led his soldiers to leave.

“……”

Looking at the back of Dai Busheng and the others leaving, Tian Touch's face was uncertain.

Because he felt that Dai Busheng seemed to be full of confidence when he said that, and it really didn't seem like a bluff.

Thinking of this, he ordered his soldiers to remain in place, while he himself immediately returned to the garrison and went to the tent to meet the chief general Tian Zhang.

About a quarter or so later, Tian Touch came to the tent in the garrison, and told Tian Zhang everything about the attack led by Dai Busheng and what the latter said to him, and Tian Zhang frowned deeply when he heard it.

I saw that after Tian Zhang pondered for a while, he suddenly asked: "Then Dai Busheng said to you, you don't have to bother to play any tricks and tricks to lure the enemy?" ”

"Yes." Tian Touch nodded and said, "He said that when it is time to attack, he Song Jun will attack." ”

"......" Tian Zhang was silent for a moment, and then asked: "He also said to you, this camp will definitely not be held by our army?" ”

"Yes." Tian Touch nodded again and said, "I don't know where he got his confidence, but I feel that he is full of confidence when he says this, as if he is ......" He glanced at Tian Zhang, and then continued in a low voice: "It seems that he has already taken measures against this." ”

“……”

Tian Zhang glanced at Tian Touch, frowning and pacing back and forth in the tent.

To be honest, setting up camp only ten miles from the city can put pressure on the city, but it is also a certain danger to the besieging party.

Take the current situation as an example, the Qi army's garrison is only ten miles away from Qiyang City, and the Qi army can completely attack Qiyang at night, but does this have any effect? The city of Qiangyang is strong, how can it be conquered by a bunch of soldiers carrying long ladders alone? Unless the inside and the outside should be combined, even if the Qi army seizes the opportunity of the night attack, it can only retreat helplessly in front of this fortified city in the end.

Speaking of the Song army, since his Qi army can attack the Yang at night, the Song army in the Yang City can naturally attack them at night, and the difference is that they can't pose a real threat to the Yang Dynasty, but the Song army can really threaten them - after all, the camp built by his Qi army is far less solid than the city built with solid stones in the Yang City.

To summarize the above, setting up camp ten miles away from Qiangyang City is actually a thing that does more harm than good, not to mention the Song army in Qiangyang City for the time being, at least Tian Zhang has several countermeasures in his heart to deal with this situation.

But since it does more harm than good, why did Tian Zhang do it?

The reason is very simple, because he didn't think that the strategies of Dai Busheng, Dai Yingzhi and others could pose any threat to him.

In his Tian Zhang's original idea, as long as he successfully ambushed the Song army of Qiyang that attacked him at night last night, the Song army that had suffered defeat again would definitely have low morale and would no longer dare to attack easily, and at this time, his Qi army could use this camp to exert pressure on Qiyang City step by step, and after a period of time, the advantage accumulated by the Qi army would turn into a victory and take Qiyang in one fell swoop.

However, last night, Song Jun saw through his strategy, which made Tian Zhang hesitate a little, hesitating whether he should insist on setting up camp here, after all, setting up a camp at such a close distance, his Qi army had to be vigilant every night against all the wind and grass that forced the sun, as the saying goes, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves every day? - Don't be a thief before the time comes, but the master himself is made haggard.

After pondering for a full moment, Tian Zhang frowned and said to Tian Fu: "In order to prevent Dai Busheng from using deception to deceive our army to retreat on his own initiative, and then watch for two days, if the Song army still does not go out of the city to attack our army at night in these two days, then ...... He ordered the soldiers to build another camp twenty miles away from the city! ”

"Whoa!"

Tian touched his fist and took his life.

That night, the Song army still did not come to attack at night.

When it was daylight the next day, Dai Busheng once again led thousands of soldiers to harass the Qi soldiers and build a camp, but as he said, his purpose did not seem to be to prevent the Qi army from setting up camp, but to take the opportunity to play with them, as if the Song army was not afraid of the Qi army to set up camp here.

And that night, the Song army still did not come to attack at night.

On the third day, that is, on the morning of the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, when Tian Zhang learned that the Song army had not come to attack at night for three consecutive nights, he concluded that what Dai Busheng said was true, and decisively ordered his troops to build another camp about 20 miles away from Qiyang City to prepare for a rainy day - this camp is called the "Twenty Mile Camp".

As for the camp that is under construction here, let's call it the "Ten Mile Camp", Tian Zhang does not intend to give up easily.

He wanted to see if Dai Busheng was just bluffing, or if the Song army really had a clever strategy that forced him to retreat to the Twenty-Mile Camp.

After learning that the Qi army was preparing to build the "Twenty-Mile Battalion", he immediately returned to Qiyang and personally discussed the matter with the crown prince Dai Wu and Meng Zhong.

He smiled and said to Meng Zhong: "I, Guantian Zhang, am probably hesitating, but I am not willing to give up that camp, I don't know what strategy Brother Meng has to make him retreat?" ”

Meng Zhong did not disappoint Dai Wu and Dai Busheng, and said in front of him "the plan to exhaust the enemy", and Dai Busheng heard that after hearing it, he immediately left the city with Dai Yingzhi to discuss how to implement the plan of exhausting the enemy.

Also, the cleverness of the enemy's strategy, not to mention Dai Yingzhi, who has led the troops for many years, can see the power of it, and even the crown prince Dai Wu can see it.

Under the surprise, the crown prince Dai Wu said to Meng Zhong: "According to what Dai Wu has seen, it is enough for Qing Zhen to guard the yang, why bother Dai Wu?" I am willing to hand over my soldiers to Qing, and ask Qing to sit in charge of Yang on my behalf. ”

He didn't say this to evade responsibility, but because in the past two days, Meng Zhong told him about the importance of the people's will, and Meng Zhong emphasized that if he Song wants to start a ten-year, or even twenty-year war with Qi, then the people's will in the country is extremely critical, as long as the Song monarch, the ministers, and the people are united, just like the Teng State back then, then the Qi State cannot easily annex the Song State.

In this regard, the crown prince Dai Wu thought so.

After all, when Hui Ang and Xue Juzhou taught Dai Wu, these two Song ministers, who were inclined to the Confucian idea of "benevolent government", emphasized the importance of the people's will to Dai Wu more than once, and now, even Meng Zhong, whom he trusted more and more, also paid attention to the people's will, which made the prince Dai Wu believe in the "people's heart theory".

Therefore, the crown prince Dai Wu decided to take a guard to personally pacify the local people and inspire them to unite against the invasion of the Qi army.

As for forcing Yang, he planned to hand it over to Meng Zhong to guard, after all, as far as he could see, although Meng Zhong was young, he was more strategic than Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi, and he could naturally defend this city steadily.

But to his surprise, after hesitating for a moment, Meng Zhong politely refused the promotion of Prince Dai Wu.

"Why did Qing refuse?" Prince Dai Wu was a little confused.

After all, in his opinion, Meng Zhong is very keen to defend the country, and he is not like a person who is willing to only act as a staff member, so why is he unwilling to accept his promotion?

Seeing this, Meng Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "Prince, it's not that Meng Zhong is unwilling to serve the Song Kingdom...... To tell you the truth, Tian Zhang, the coach of the Qi army opposite, actually has some friendship with him. Because of the relationship between Meng Fuzi, Tian Zhang is commensurate with my great-brother, and he knows that I have a little involvement in the art of war, and if I come forward to guard the Yang Dynasty, he will definitely take precautions, so it will be even more difficult for me to repel the Qi army. It's better to keep the status quo for the time being, my righteous brother probably can't guess it, and he won't take precautions......"

When he said this, he secretly said to Tian Zhang in his heart that he couldn't help it, after all, Tian Zhang treated him quite well.

At this time, the crown prince Dai Wu was already stunned.

He never thought that the young man in front of him, whom he had been relying on more and more recently, was actually a young man who was qualified to talk to Tian Zhang.

Thinking that he had doubted Meng Zhong's talent before, Prince Dai Wu felt a little ashamed, and he said with emotion: "Qing is really ...... It's hidden. ”

"Let the prince see and laugh."

"Where. …… That's what Qing said. ”

That night, Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi teamed up to exert a tired plan against Tian Zhang's Shili Qi camp.

In fact, this night, Tian Zhang still guarded against the night attack of the Song army, and asked Tian Touch to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard all night, so when Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi showed the time of exhausting the enemy, Tian Touch immediately reacted and waited for the Song army to cut off its way back when it came to the night attack.

Unexpectedly, the Song army was just beating drums and shouting in the distance outside the camp, disturbing the rest of the soldiers who were resting in the Qi camp with these huge sounds, and there was no intention of directly attacking at all.

Even if Tian Touch took the initiative to attack several times, keeping in mind Meng Zhong's sentence of "avoiding the real and making up for nothing", Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi, who immediately led a small force under his command responsible for harassment, quickly shifted their positions, and did not contact Tian Touch's army at all, so that Tian Touch went back and forth that night to find the harassment team of Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi, but there was no gain, but the soldiers in his camp were alarmed again and again by the noise made by the Song army, and they couldn't sleep all night.

Even that night, even Tian Zhang didn't sleep well.

I have to say that Tian Zhang is worthy of being a famous general of Qi with rich experience in leading troops, and when the Song army harassed his camp for the second time, he had already guessed the intention of the Song army, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of a countermeasure in a short time.

Unlike Zhao General Zhao Ben and others, who suffered from the enemy's tactics at the beginning, Tian Zhang did not dare to underestimate the tricks of the Song army.

Don't look at the Song army at the moment is only harassing outside the camp, but Dai Busheng once said that "the Song army will attack when it is time to attack", this sentence makes it not difficult for Tian Zhang to guess the follow-up of this tired enemy's plan - that is, when the Qi army is harassed by this strategy to the point of emaciation, then the Song army will change its feint attack into a real attack.

And what's worse is that even if Tian Zhang can guess the Song army's intentions in advance, but when the time comes, the Qi army will be emaciated by the harassment of the Song army, where will the Qi army still have enough physical strength to guard against and counter the night attack of the Song army?

"Ten Mile Camp...... Sure enough, it's too close.'

Sighing, Tian Zhang weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to give up the ten-mile battalion, retreat to the twenty-mile battalion, and then think about the strategy of attacking the Yang.

In addition, he was also surprised by the person in the Song army on the other side who came up with this clever trick.

In his opinion, the person who can come up with this trick is by no means an ordinary person, but who will it be?

After thinking about it for several days, Tian Zhang didn't figure it out, and as for the fine work he sent, he didn't hear any news.

But Tian Zhang could faintly perceive that in the Song army opposite at this time, there was definitely a person who was well versed in the art of war and strategy.

“…… Who will it be? ”

During the construction of the Twenty-Mile Camp by the Qi Army, Tian Zhang handed over most of the affairs to Tian Touch and Tian Da, and he was thinking about this problem all day long, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out.
