Chapter 168: Meng Zhong and Lian Po (6) [Supplement 2/4]

Just when Meng Zhong led more than a thousand rebels to launch several waves of fire arrows towards Fengyang Jun Li Dui's military camp as harassment, in Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's military camp, Zhao Ben and Lian Po were still waiting for Meng Zhong's army to attack at night.

However, just like yesterday's situation, after the rebels launched a harassment at the second quarter of the hour, there has been no follow-up action so far, so that Zhao Ben is very suspicious, wondering if Meng Zhong has led the army to evacuate early like last night, and deliberately made them wait stupidly for a night.

However, Lian Po had a different opinion, believing that Meng Zhong would definitely attack tonight, and although the rebels had not followed up so far, it was just an attempt by Meng Zhong to make them let their guard down.

"Our army is tired today, then Meng Zhong will definitely not let go of this opportunity......"

Although Lian Po was swearing by what he said, in his heart, to be honest, he didn't have a bottom either, because he really couldn't figure out what Meng Zhong thought.

Just like yesterday, that Meng Zhong decisively led the army to evacuate after a harassment, who would have thought of such a thing?

Just when Zhao Ben and Lian Po were talking about this matter in a low voice, a soldier shouted outside the tent: "Urgent report! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ben and Lian Po glanced at each other, immediately cheered up, and called the soldier into the tent.

"But the rebels attacked the camp?"

Zhao Ben asked eagerly.

Hearing this, the soldier was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, Zuo Sima, it's Fengyangjun's military camp......

"Fengyang-kun's military camp?" Zhao Ben frowned and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong over there?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, there is a fire coming from Fengyangjun's military camp, and it is suspected that rebels are using fire arrows to attack the battalion."

"What?" Zhao Ben was taken aback when he heard this, and his face showed a little strange look.

The rebels who attacked at night, you don't have to guess to know that they are the rebels under the command of Meng Zhong, the question is how did that Meng Zhong run to attack Fengyang Jun's military camp?

That's weird, right?

In the military camp where he and Lian Po were stationed, they deliberately put on an unguarded appearance to lure Na Meng Zhong to come to attack at night, but Na Meng Zhong turned a blind eye to this and went to attack the military camp of Fengyang Jun Li Dui.

"I see, you can step back first."

Nodding, Zhao Ben dismissed the soldier, then turned his head to look at Lian Po, and asked, "Lian Sima, what do you think of this matter?" ”

I saw that Lian Po was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that Meng Zhong really saw through your and my strategy, and it was because he attacked Fengyang Jun's military camp...... This son's scheming is deeper than I predicted. ”

"I don't understand." Zhao Ben's face was puzzled.

Seeing this, Lian Po explained: "He concluded that you and I had set up an ambush in the camp, and guessed that in order to ensure that you and I were tempted to attack this military camp, we deliberately let Fengyangjun's battalion generals cooperate with you and me, putting on a precautionary posture, so he concluded that Fengyangjun's defense was just false, and it was because he abandoned you and me to attack Fengyangjun......" Speaking of this, he took a long breath, shook his head and praised: "This son's strategy and scheming are really beyond ordinary people......"

Zhao Ben nodded with relief, and then said, "Since that Meng Zhong is attacking Fengyang Jun's military camp at the moment, why don't you and I lead the army to cut off his way back?" ”

Hearing this, Lian Po shook his head and said, "No! If you and I lead our army out of the camp, we will surely be ambushed by Nameng Zhong. ”

Zhao Ben was stunned when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "What does Lian Sima mean is that Meng Zhong is attacking the east and west, and it seems to be attacking Fengyang Jun, but in fact, it is to induce you and me to lead the army out of the camp?" ”

"It's just my guess." Lian Po Zhengse said: "Zuo Sima, you think, that Meng Zhong abandoned you and me and attacked Fengyangjun, which means that he has concluded that you and I will reserve soldiers in the camp and set up an ambush, and when he guessed that you and I have assembled the army in advance, he still attacked Fengyangjun's military camp, as if he was not worried at all about you and me leading the army to cut off his retreat, what does this mean?" ”

"It means it's a trick to lure the enemy!"

Zhao Ben narrowed his eyes, nodded and said with relief: "He deliberately lured our army to lead the army out of the camp in order to ambush you and me halfway." ”

"That's probably what it means." Lian Po frowned and thought.

"That'...... So what should you and I do? Zhao Ben asked, "Why don't you wait and see what happens?" ”

“……”

Lian Po pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid...... If you and I don't move, I'm afraid that Meng Zhong will endlessly harass Fengyangjun's side tonight......" After that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Ben, and said: "Around two o'clock, when the rebels harassed outside the camp for the first time today, Zuo Sima Ke noticed that there were war drums in it again? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ben was stunned, and nodded suspiciously: "I did hear it, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

I saw Lian Po let out a sigh and said in a deep voice: "I still remember that when Meng Zhong led the army to harass last night, the sound of harassment was only the shouts of soldiers and the sound of weapons hitting, but there were no war drums, because the war drums in his army were all destroyed in the forest fire that night...... However, today, when his soldiers were harassing, there was another sound of military drums, which means that he should have asked Gongzizhang for a batch of military supplies, including fire arrows...... The night before, when Meng Zhong set a trap to ambush Lian, he had consumed a lot of fire arrows, but he still had the strength to harass Fengyang Jun's military camp with fire arrows today, which shows that he had asked Gongzi Zhang for military ...... in advance."

Zhao Ben was confused when he heard it: "How can we prove that Meng Zhong took the initiative to ask Gongzizhang for it, not Gongzizhang who took the initiative to deliver a batch of military supplies?" ”

"It's simple, drums of war!" Lian Po Zhengse said: "If Gongzizhang took the initiative to send someone to transport a batch of military supplies, could Gongzizhang still have expected in advance that the war drums in Mengzhong's army had been destroyed in the night attack?" ”

"I see." Zhao Ben nodded with relief, secretly admiring Lian Po's thoughtfulness.

Immediately, he asked puzzledly, "But this ...... Does that make sense? ”

I saw Lian Po snort lightly and said in a low voice: "Of course there is!" This means that after last night, that is, today's daylight, that Meng Zhong sent someone to ask Gongzi Zhang for the batch of military supplies, in other words, most of his actions tonight were thought of last night...... After realizing that you and I had the intention to trap him. ”

Zhao Ben opened his mouth, and immediately showed a little surprise on his face: "You mean, what he is targeting tonight is actually you and me......"

He finally understood what Lian Po wanted to express: since tonight's action was a deliberate act of Meng Zhong, then, if he could not achieve his goal, then Meng Zhong would definitely completely harass Fengyang Jun's military camp.

As for what Meng Zhong's purpose is, Lian Po has already made it very clear, that is, to ambush them - if he Zhao Ben and Lian Po do not move, then Meng Zhong will harass the Fengyang army and completely set fire to Fengyang Jun's military camp with countless fire arrows, anyway, after a fierce battle with Gongzizhang in the daytime today, Li Duijun's soldiers have no energy to completely guard against the Meng Zhong army, and there is almost no threat to the Meng Zhong army; And if he Zhao Ben and Lian Po led an army to help, then Meng Zhong would ambush their army halfway.

It can be said that no matter what Zhao Ben and Lian Po react to, then Meng Zhong will be able to gain a lot tonight.

"This cunning boy!"

After figuring out this layer, Zhao Ben gritted his teeth hatefully.

Immediately, he asked Lian Po: "Lian Sima, how should you and I deal with it?" ”

Lian Po shook his head slightly and said, "That Meng Zhong's follow-up moves, Lian can't be determined yet...... In addition to ambushing our troops in the middle of the way, I also suspect that he was actually deliberately trying to divert you and me so that we could take advantage of the opportunity to attack the barracks. [PS: Alas, many words can't be used, it's really inconvenient, otherwise at this time, just say "the plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain". 】

"That ......"

"I can only take one step at a time." As he spoke, Lian Po turned his head to look at Zhao Ben, and said: "Zuo Sima, please allow Lian to lead 5,000 soldiers to support Fengyang Jun's military camp, no matter what Meng Zhong's intentions are, as long as Lian shows up, it will naturally gradually be exposed, and when the time comes, I will send someone to inform Zuo Sima." ”

"Good!"

After some deliberation, Lian Po immediately took 5,000 soldiers to support Fengyangjun's military camp.

At this time, the Meng Zhongjun's harassment of Li Duijun's camp had stopped, and it was not known whether the rebels took the initiative to stop or whether Li Duijun sent troops out of the camp to expel the rebels.

Seeing this, Lian Po, who was on the march, immediately reined in the reins of his horse and stared intently at the pitch-black wilderness in the distance.

He summoned his subordinate Sima Hanzheng and instructed: "The rebels may ambush our army halfway, so ask the soldiers to be careful." ”

"Obey!" The general Han Zheng clenched his fists and took the order.

However, it was a little unexpected for Lian Po until he arrived at Fengyangjun's military camp with 5,000 soldiers, and there was no ambush from the rebels along the way.

At this time, it was suddenly clear in Lian Po's heart: Meng Zhong's intention was not to ambush him, but to attack the camp of Zhao Baojun's army at night!

So, he immediately summoned Han Zheng, a general, and instructed: "Han Zheng, you immediately ride back to Zhao Benzuo Sima and tell him that the rebels pretend to harass Fengyang Jun's camp, but in fact they want to attack his camp!" …… Hurry up! ”

"Whoa!"

Han Zheng didn't say a word, and left with two guards.

After that, Lian Po didn't bother to enter the camp to explain the situation to Li Dui, Li Ji and his son, and at this moment he led 5,000 soldiers to return the same way.

In his opinion, if he expected it was true, at this moment Meng Zhong was leading his army to attack the camp of Zhao Baojun's army.

Sure enough, on the way back with 5,000 soldiers led by Lian Po, he vaguely heard a shouting and killing sound coming from the direction of Zhao Baojun's barracks, and when he looked up carefully, he vaguely saw Zhao Baojun's barracks, as if there was some fire.

"Didn't Han Zheng catch up?"

Lian Po subconsciously clenched the reins, and his heart became more and more anxious.

At this moment, he could only hope for Zhao Ben, after all, before leading the army to leave, he had predicted to Zhao Ben that the Meng Zhong army might make several actions, including attacking the military camp of Zhao Baojun, if Zhao Ben was not stupid, after Lian Po led the army to leave, he had to at least gather one or two thousand soldiers to strengthen the defense against the camp and prevent it from being attacked by the rebels.

And with Lian Po's understanding of Zhao Ben, the latter is also a talented general, and it is not so unbearable.

Thinking of this, Lian Po relaxed a little, and urged his corporal to hurry up.

It is estimated that after another half an hour or so, Lian Po finally led the army to arrive at the barracks of Zhao Baojun.

At this time, he could finally see clearly that the rebels were attacking Zhao Baojun's military camp in front of him, and judging by the situation, Zhao Ben also made some precautions in advance, so that the rebels were still gathered inside and outside the Dongying area, and had not yet penetrated into the depths of the camp.

Seeing this, Lian Po was overjoyed.

He knew that this was because the rebels did not expect him to leave Fengyangjun's military camp so quickly, which gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Immediately, he drew the sword at his waist with a bang, pointed ahead and shouted, "Kill!" Flank the rebels! ”

"Oh——!"

After giving the order, Lian Po even drove his war horse and took the lead in killing the rebels in front.

Kill the rebel Meng Zhong, just tonight!
