Chapter 435: Trick Zhuge Liang into a plan
"Oh..."
Mu Guiying nodded.
She had to admit that Fan Lihua thought about things much more than her.
Although she is also known as a battle-hardened general, she is only fighting the enemy before the war and charging into battle. And Fan Lihua is a handsome talent who wins thousands of miles. They tend to see things that others can't.
Mu Guiying thought to herself: "Maybe it's because Fan Lihua has been ruling Xuzhou for a long time." When my husband returns to Shouchun, I will also be a metropolitan governor. β
After Gan Ning received the order, he returned to Qi with Zhang Liao and Wei Yan.
Prepare to gather heavy troops and conquer Dongpingling.
Mu Guiying stayed at the Chongshan camp.
Fan Lihua's Xuzhou army and Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's Yangzhou army, after resting for two days, returned to Xiapi City in Xuzhou. When he passed through Linlang Bamboo Mountain, he took away the 10,000 elites and all the artillery pieces that Bai Qi had left there.
At the beginning of winter.
The Battle of Yizhou opened a new chapter.
LΓΌ Bu's new army arrived at Jiameng Pass and confronted Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang transferred heavy troops from Chengdu, about 300,000. On the two official roads in front of Jiameng Pass, a camp was built. Attempted to block the pace of Lu Bu's advance.
After Lu Bu arrived at Jiameng Pass, he also stayed in the village to observe the situation.
For the clever Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu was in awe and awe. Every step he takes, he is cautious, for fear of falling into Zhuge Liang's tricks. In fact, along the way, it seems that nothing strange has happened.
There was no ambush.
Night.
Xu Shu came to Lu Bu's camp and said, "My lord, the minister has a plan to weaken the military strength of Jia Mengguan." β
"What's the plan?"
Lu Bu sat up from the couch and put on a thick cotton coat.
Soldiers brought in the stove.
Lu Bu signaled: "You can come and sit too, it's too cold." β
"Thank you, Lord."
Xu Shu sat down and said, "The minister has observed Zhuge Liang's array. At first, I wondered why he had built the camp at the entrance of the official road, instead of on the sloping hill on the side of the official road. It is necessary to know that the oblique mountain is dangerous, stretching for hundreds of miles, and it can be attacked and defended. Zhuge Liang is accustomed to using soldiers, why would he give up this great geographical advantage? β
"Well, that's what I'm puzzled about. Tell me, why is he camping at Guandaokou? β
Xu Shu chuckled and said, "My lord, the truth is actually very simple..." β
The soldier fetches the map.
Xu Shu pointed to the map and said, "My lord, please see, this official road in the west leads to Jiameng Pass." Zhuge Liang camped here because he wanted to form horns with Jia Mengguan and help each other. This is also Zhuge Liang's usual method, which is not surprising. β
"And this official road to the south. He led to Qianwei, the great county of Shuzhong. The terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to our cavalry to plunder. Zhuge Liang has always believed that there is not much food in our army, which cannot support a long-term battle. He camped here to prevent our army from plundering Qianwei County. If we can hold out for a month, our follow-up food and grass will not be able to keep up, and we will have to withdraw our troops. β
Lu Bu took the map, looked at it, and said: "Such a simple truth, I have been thinking about it for many days, but I didn't realize it, it's really stupid." β
"The lord has big things in his heart, how can he think of everything."
"I'm glad to have you."
Lu Bu returned the map to Xu Shu and asked, "You just said that there is a way to weaken the military strength of Jia Mengguan?" What's the plan? β
Xu Shu said: "The lord and the minister's strategy is... Will be counted. Isn't Zhuge Liang afraid that we will go to Qianwei County, so we will mobilize heavy troops and storm the camp in the south. The more we fought, the more he felt that our army was running out of food. In this way, Zhuge Liang is bound to do his best to defend this official road. With the combat effectiveness of our army, no matter how much he comes out, he must be eliminated. When Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, the vitality of the one we had killed was greatly damaged. When the time comes, you can counterattack Jiameng Pass, and you will be able to do it without much effort. β
Xu Shu's strategy made Lu Bu very happy.
Lu Bu personally poured two bottles of wine, handed one to Xu Shu, and said, "Mr.'s strategy is a hundred times better than Zhuge Liang's. With the assistance of Mr., why am I afraid of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong? Why worry about the great cause? β
"The lord has a good reputation..."
The monarch drank it all.
Xu Shu's strategy was adopted by Lu Bu.
The next day.
Han Xin's 1st Division, Li Jing's 2nd Division, and Yang Lin's 5th Division were all assembled in the camp to the south. Unleash the fiercest charge on the enemy. Lu Bu also came to the front of the battle and urged the soldiers to fight.
LΓΌ Bu's new army (before arriving at Jiameng Pass) had only six divisions in total. Just to attack the camp in the south, three divisions were dispatched, and they were the main division. It can be seen that the determination to break the village and the urgency of the urgent need to replenish the food shortage.
Zhuge Liang is known for his ingenuity.
But he still didn't guard against Xu Shu's plan. Unconsciously, plunged into this war.
In front of the wall.
Rounds of grenade projectiles blew up large sections of the wall.
Dense as a spider's web, the bullets of the assault rifle loom over the battlefield. The powerful firepower network makes it impossible for the enemy in the wall to raise his head.
It's only half an hour.
The camp under Zhuge Liang is about to be breached.
Lu Bu hurriedly called Han Xin and Li Jing and said, "Don't rush into the village. It is necessary to besiege but not attack, and not to attack. Lure the garrison of Jiameng Pass to come to help. From now on, the battalions are no longer allowed to use grenades. β
"No..."
Li Jing said suspiciously: "We are the main force of the new army, and it stands to reason that there are a large number of grenades, because this thing is easy to carry." If we don't use grenades, won't Zhuge Liang see through it? β
"That's what General Lee said."
Han Shin agreed.
Xu Shu said: "We have been in Sichuan for several months, and we have not been replenished. It's no wonder that there are no grenades now. Zhuge Liang will not come to help because of this. Do what your lord says, and you will be able to lure the enemy. β
Han Xin and Li Jing both looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Budao: "What Yuan Zhi said is what I said. Hurry up and execute it. β
"No."
Seeing that the enemy's camp was about to be conquered. The battalions, however, put away their grenades, took refuge in the trenches, and suppressed the fire in the forts with assault rifles. Kill those who dare to show their heads.
At first glance, it looks like a fierce battle.
In fact, if the enemy did not show his head, there would be no casualties at all.
After a fierce battle for half a day...
The news was transmitted back to Jia Mengguan.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly dispatched troops: "The enemy is eager to capture my Nanzhai because he wants to go to Qianwei County to plunder grain and maintain the use of the army. We must not allow Lu Bu to succeed. β
"General Guan, General Zhang."
"Yes."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were out of the ranks.
Zhuge Liang said: "The two of you led 50,000 troops to help Nanzhai. I will let General Pang De, with 10,000 iron cavalry, attack the rear of Lu Bu. Leave him in a hurry, and you take advantage of the situation to crush the enemy who is besieging the fortress. β
"No."
"General Zhang Ren." Zhuge Liang looked at one of the generals on the left again.
"Yes."
Zhuge Liang pointed to the map behind him and said, "On the official road leading to Lu Bu's camp, there is an extremely dangerous terrain called Hulu Mountain. He is like a gourd without a bottom. The enemy's reinforcements had to pass through there before they could rush to the aid of Nanzhai. They will enter unknowingly, but if they want to get out, they have to go through the gourd. I will also give you 50,000 troops, and you will lie on both sides of the official road. Whether the enemy wanted to return to the camp or rush to the aid of Nanzhai, they were all ambushed. β
"Yes."
Arrange it.
The entire 110,000 Shu troops left Jiameng Pass.
Among them, 50,000 rushed to Nanzhai.
50,000 were stationed at Hulukou.
10,000 surprise attacks on Lu Bu's rear army, instigating Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
I have to say that Zhuge Liang arranged it extremely carefully. There were both reinforcements and galloping reinforcements, and they also divided Lu Bu's six divisions with Hulukou as the boundary. It's seamless.
If the opponent is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being wiped out.
It's a pity that Lu Bu is not Cao Cao, let alone Yuan Shao. The 100,000 new troops who entered Shu were all warriors who had been selected and experienced in a hundred battles. The weapon in his hand is even more powerful than he imagined.
