Chapter 154: Dune Incident (2) [Two in One]
Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao guessed correctly, the army that appeared outside the military camp of his Handan army at this time was the Xinwei army led by Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others.
And the purpose of Meng Zhong and Le Yi was, as Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao guessed, to attack their Handan army camp.
The reason is very simple, because the military camp where Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is stationed is the only stronghold in the sand dunes area for Zhao Wang He to settle down, before Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and even Zhao General Zhao Xi, who is currently stationed in Pingyuanyi, led the army to support, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao can only defend this military camp, otherwise, whether it is him or Zhao Wang He, they will be swallowed up by the Daijun army under Gongzi Zhang - at this time, the Daijun army may have already been ambushed in the sand dune area, ready to encircle and annihilate the Xinjun faction.
In this case, if Meng Zhong and Le Yi can attack the camp of Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, so that the Xinjun faction and the party lose their stronghold and waiting for help, then in this civil strife, Gongzizhang will be able to take the lead.
And once Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao are defeated, so that Zhao Wang He falls into the hands of Gongzi Zhang, then, this civil strife can be said to be Gongzi Zhang, even if Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui and other "resistance forces" still have military power in their hands, it is difficult to make any more waves - as long as Zhao Wang He falls into the hands of Gongzi Zhang, the overall situation has been decided!
What was a little surprising was that when Meng Zhong and Le Yi led the Xinwei army to arrive at the barracks of the Handan army, they were quite surprised to find that the barracks of the Handan army had put on a solemn posture, and many Zhao soldiers of the Handan army had gathered on the inner wall of the camp, and the guard tower was also full of soldiers, as if they had prepared to defend the camp in advance.
"Huh?"
After watching Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's military camp from a distance for a while, Le Yi frowned and said to Meng Zhong who was standing on another chariot: "That Zhao Bao, it seems that he expected our army to attack his camp......
Previously, Meng Zhong and Le Yi both thought that Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao would devote all their soldiers to rescue Zhao Wanghe, so that the two of them could take advantage of the situation and destroy the camp of the Handan army first. In the case of losing the camp, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao could only flee in the direction of Handan with Zhao Wang He overnight, and at that time, the army on the side of Gongzi Zhang, such as the Daijun Army, the Tan Guard Army, the Xinwei Army, etc., chased and covered up along the way, and defeated the Handan Army at all.
But it turns out that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is worthy of being a veteran of Zhao State, even at the moment of crisis, his mind is still very fresh, and he knows what is most important to them at the moment - yes, delay time, delay until Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others lead to help, instead of escorting Zhao Wanghe to escape in a panic, so as to give Gongzizhang and his party a chance to break them.
"Hmm......"
After listening to Le Yi's words, Meng Zhong frowned and muttered for a moment, and then said, "Go and test and tempt." ”
Le Yi nodded.
So, Meng Zhong and Le Yi each rode in a chariot and slowly came to the military camp of the Handan army.
Seeing this scene from afar, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, who was standing on the sentry tower and watching the camp at this moment, knew in his heart: these two boys are guaranteed to come to test whether he Zhao Bao is in the camp.
Therefore, he didn't wait for Meng Zhong and Le Yi to take the lead in calling the battle, so he took the lead in shouting at them: "Meng Zhong and Le Yi, what do you want to lead the Xinwei army to invade the old man's camp?!" Do you two also want to help Gongzi Zhang raise troops to rebel? ”
"Really in the camp?"
Meng Zhong and Le Yi frowned in unison.
After thinking about it, Meng Zhong shouted loudly in the direction of the military camp: "Yang Wenjun, I got the order sent by Lord Zhao's father to send an order, and the herald said, Gong Bo Xin held Jun hostage during the period, with bad intentions, Lord Zhao's father ordered me to take over the Handan army and stabilize the situation, please Yang Wenjun quickly order the soldiers to remove their armor and open the camp." ”
Hearing this, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao laughed and said: "Meng Zhong boy, you were deceived by Gongzi Zhang's people, as far as the old man knows, it was Gongzi Zhang who sent someone to kidnap Zhao's master father, and used it as a threat to force Pang Xuan's Tan Wei Army to attack the monarch with Gongzi Zhang's men and horses, the real rebel is Gongzi Zhao Zhang!" …… The old man advises you to distinguish between right and wrong, and orders the soldiers to take off their armor and surrender to the old man, like this, the old man can also shelter you and wait for you, and plead for you in front of the king in the future, so that you will not be implicated by Gongzi Zhang. ”
I have to say that in fact, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao and Meng Zhong know the truth to each other, that is, the truth about "Gongzi Zhang's hijacking of Zhao's father", but no one dares to mention it.
Zhao Bao is concerned about the emotions and attitudes of his soldiers, after all, in this country, Zhao's father's prestige is still there, and soldiers loyal to Zhao's father's father also abound, in case he tells the truth, as a result, the Handan army under his command has defected, how should this be?
And Meng Zhong, considering the attitude of Master Zhao's father, how could this Zhao master father, who cherishes his reputation, be willing to bear the notoriety of "taking the position of the son"? - Otherwise, how could he deliberately ask Gongzizhang to come forward?
"Yang Wenjun? Do you want to disobey Lord Zhao's orders? Could it be that you are complicit in the letter period? ”
"Hahaha, boy Meng Zhong, Hugh is going to reverse black and white here! The old man knows very well what is going on, and he also knows your attitude...... Boy, you're a man of love and righteousness, but this time, you're on the wrong side, don't be stubborn! ”
"Yang Wenjun ......"
"Enough! That's the end of the gossip! If you are obsessed, even if you lead the army to attack, the old man wants to see how you can break through the old man's camp with hundreds of thousands of people! ”
“……”
Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, Meng Zhong decisively returned to the army with Le Yi.
At this time, Meng Sui greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhong, what should I do now?" Storming the camp? ”
“……”
Meng Zhong glanced back at the military camp of the Handan Army and shook his head slightly.
Although the Thaksin Guards had set a feat of attacking tens of thousands of Qi troops at night with 500 people, it was only because the Qi Army was defenseless at that time, and now, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao were obviously prepared in advance and waiting for them.
"If you can't attack, find another way to ......"
After glancing at the dim night, Meng Zhong turned his head to look in the direction of the west gate of the Dune Palace, and had an idea in his heart.
Since Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao can't come out of the camp, they simply attacked Zhao Wanghe and forced Yang Wenjun to lead the army to rescue.
But at the thought of attacking Zhao Wanghe, Meng Zhong inevitably hesitated a little in his heart.
"Meng Qing ......"
At this time, Zhao Wanghe's voice seemed to be faintly sounding in his ears.
"Ah Zhong?"
Seeing that Meng Zhong was silent, Le Yi reminded in a low voice.
Hearing Le Yi's voice, Meng Zhong shook his head suddenly, leaving all the cranky thoughts in his heart behind.
Although he and Zhao Wanghe have a lot of feelings, but this relationship is still ranked after Zhao's father, after all, it is indeed Zhao's father, and he promoted Meng Zhong and others, who had just arrived, to the guard, so that they had a foothold in Zhao - not Gongzizhang, not Zhao Wanghe, not Zhao Xiangfeiyi, just Zhao's father.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhong said to Le Yi and Meng Sui in a deep voice: "I believe that the army escorting Zhao Wanghe must be coming straight to this camp at this moment, we ambushed in the middle of the way, and forced Yang Wenjun to lead the army to rescue!" ”
As he spoke, he whispered a few words to Le Yi and Meng Sui, and the two of them nodded one after another.
After deciding on the strategy, Meng Zhong left two hundred old soldiers for Le Yi, and asked Hua Hu and Mu Wu to help Le Yi, while he himself, with the rest of the men, quietly evacuated, bypassed this military camp in a roundabout way, and went straight to the west gate of the Dune Palace.
At the same time, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao were still paying close attention to the Xinwei army in the distance outside the camp.
Because of the night, Zhao Bao couldn't really believe the actions of the guards, but he could still vaguely hear subtle movements in the distance, as if many soldiers were leaving.
"Hmm......
Tapping his finger on the railing of the watchtower, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao fell into deep thought.
Zhao Bao was very clear about the criticality of his military camp, and Zhao Bao believed that the kid Meng Zhong on the other side was also very clear, and Zhao Bao didn't believe that kid would give up so easily.
In this case, there are only two possibilities for the Xinwei army to temporarily retreat: first, the Xinwei army is ready to attack the army escorting Zhao Wanghe, intercept the soldiers and horses, and force the other party to give up fleeing to this military camp, so that the military camp of Zhao Bao will be useless; Second, the Xinwei army was just suspicious and deliberately put on a posture of preparing to attack Zhao Wanghe, the purpose of which was to force him to send reinforcements again, so as to take the opportunity to attack the camp and destroy the camp.
Zhao Bao thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't judge Meng Zhong's purpose.
A moment later, the scouts he sent out to inquire returned to the camp and reported to him: "Yang Wenjun, the Xinwei army has withdrawn, and I don't know where they have gone. ”
Hearing this, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao crossed his arms and stared at the dark place outside the camp.
He didn't doubt the veracity of the scout's words, but who could be sure that the Guards weren't just hiding out of sight?
"Zhao Wen and Zhao Ji each led two thousand people to protect the king, and these forces should be enough to escort the king here...... All I have to do is to defend this barracks, otherwise, it will be really difficult to resist the Daijun army under the command of Gongzi Zhang......
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao finally decided to stick to the camp.
At the same time, Meng Zhongzheng took Meng Sui, Meng Hu and others, led about 700 Xin Guards, and went straight to the west gate of the Dune Palace.
At this time, Gong Bo Xinzhi had already protected Zhao Wanghe, and with the assistance of Zhao Ping and Li Ji, he desperately fought out of the palace.
But the people on Gongzizhang's side reacted quickly, especially the Tan guards led by Pang Xuan and Ju Xin, after learning that Zhao Wanghe had escaped from the palace, Pang Xuan immediately ordered Sima Zhao Hao to lead a thousand Tan guards to detour from the south gate to the west city gate, cutting off the way of Zhao Wanghe and his party, forcing Xinqi, Zhao Ping, Li Ji and others to flee north only to protect Zhao Wanghe.
I have to say that at this time, Zhao Wanghe's situation is indeed extremely dangerous, after all, there are only 1,000 palace guards during the letter period, and Gongzi Zhang's side has dispatched hundreds of guards around him and Pang Xuan's 5,000 Tan guards, and the army of more than 5,000 people is going to encircle and besiege 1,000 people, and the letter period naturally can't resist it.
Fortunately, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's military camp is not far from the Dune Palace, only about ten miles away, so Zhao Bao's generals Zhao Wen and Zhao Ji were able to lead the army to support in time.
After receiving the support of Zhao Wen and Zhao Ji's two generals with 2,000 soldiers each, Xin Qi, Zhao Ping, and Li Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Wanghe also settled down a little in his heart.
At this time, he found out that Xinji, who was desperately protecting him along the way, was injured in many places and covered in blood.
When the wound was simply bandaged during the letter period, Zhao Wang He said with a low expression: "On that day, Yang Wenjun insisted on setting up camp ten miles away from the palace, and the widow still had some blame in his heart at that time, but he didn't expect ......."
Indeed, in fact, to the south of the Dune Palace, there were old camps left by the Zhao State army stationed before, and the camps where the Xinwei Army is now stationed are these old camps, which are very close to the Dune Palace, maybe only one or two miles away.
But a while ago, when everyone arrived at the Dune Palace, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao considered that this distance was likely to be attacked by Gongzizhang's army, so he deliberately camped on the west side of the Dune Palace, about ten miles away from the palace, and showed his distrust of Gongzizhang and even Zhao's father vividly.
At that time, Zhao Wanghe secretly blamed Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, Zhao Xiangfeiyi and others for being too wary of Zhao's father and Gongzi Zhang, lest this move cause the displeasure of his father and brother, but he never thought that Gongzi Zhang finally took a step of rebellion, and even Zhao Wanghe's most trusted old minister Feiyi died in the hands of Gongzi Zhang.
At this time, the letter period bandaged the wound with a cloth, and when he heard the words, he persuaded: "The gentleman is kind-hearted, how could you expect that Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu have ill intentions?" Even the ministers never thought that Gongzi Zhang would really dare to do such a thing as rebellion! ”
“……”
Hearing the names of Gongzizhang and Tian Buyu, Zhao Wanghe's eyes flashed a few different colors.
It was a complex look mixed with hatred and hope, and the hatred was naturally aimed at Gongzizhang, Tian Buyu and others, and the hope was aimed at Zhao Xiangfeiyi - at this time, he had not yet received the exact news of Feiyi's murder, and he still had expectations for it, such as Gongzizhang was just putting Feiyi under house arrest, so on the way to escape, he was still thinking about how to exchange Feiyi back.
While the two were chatting, Zhao Ping, the son of Zhao Cheng, Anpingjun, led Li Ji, the son of Li Dui, Fengyangjun, to come here and bowed to Zhao Wang He and Xinqi.
"How's it going?" Xin Qi asked eagerly.
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "I have just met Zhao Wen, he said that Ju Xin sent troops to block the road to Yang Wenjun's military camp, and he was ordering his troops to fight with Ju Xin's men and horses, but ......" He shook his head again and said in a low voice: "The Tan Guards are not a rabble, and it is difficult to deal with. ”
Hearing this, Xin Qi frowned and asked, "What about Zhao Ji?" Didn't you say that there were still 2,000 people under Zhao Ji's command? ”
Zhao Ping heard this and said: "I asked Zhao Wen, Zhao Ji's 2,000 people are to guard against Gongzizhang's Daijun army, and when necessary, he will desperately intercept Gongzizhang's army and help us escape." ”
Hearing this, even if Xinwei was anxious, he couldn't say anything more, after all, Zhao Ji was not cowardly, on the contrary, Zhao Ji's side was the most dangerous, once Gongzizhang's army entered this battlefield, Zhao Ji could only fight desperately to buy them time to escape.
After thinking about it carefully, Xin Qi said in a deep voice: "It's difficult to distinguish at night, even if the Daijun army under Gongzi Zhang's command is ambushed in this area, most of them won't act tonight, and they should wait until after dawn tomorrow, in other words, tonight we must escort Jun Shang to Yang Wenjun's military camp, otherwise, once Gongzi Zhang's army arrives tomorrow, we will definitely be surrounded by his large army, and there is only one way to die!" ”
Speaking of this, he raised his head and asked Zhao Pingdao: "Why did Yang Wenjun only send 4,000 people to help protect Junshang?" Didn't he have seven thousand soldiers under his command? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ping explained: "According to Zhao Wen, Yang Wenjun left 3,000 soldiers to guard the camp in order to guard against a sneak attack by the Xinwei army......
"The Guards?"
He Wenyan, the king of Zhao, who had not intervened from beginning to end, raised his head and asked in astonishment: "Meng Qing's letter guards?" How could he ......"
Zhao Ping and Li Ji glanced at each other and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, that Meng Zhong is the henchman of Master Zhao after all, and now that Gongzi Zhang has taken Master Zhao hostage, even Pang Xuan has to obey Gongzi Zhang, not to mention that Meng Zhong?" As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then added: "According to Yichen, maybe Lord Zhao's father ......."
"Zhao Ping!"
Li Ji interrupted Zhao Ping's words and shook his head slightly at him.
"The minister lost his words."
Zhao Ping immediately shut up.
Glancing at Zhao Ping, Zhao Wanghe lowered his head and held the ten fingers of his hands, silent.
He is not deaf, let alone a fool, on the way to escape, he also heard the letter and Zhao Ping and Li Ji talking privately, saying that it was not Gongzi Zhang who held Zhao hostage, but Zhao Zhu's father was deliberately held hostage by Gongzi Zhang, these words, Zhao Wang He actually heard in his ears, but he didn't want to believe it.
Tigers don't eat their children, let alone people?
"It's just the eldest brother...... Yes, it must just be the eldest brother......
With his hands and fingers crossed, Zhao Wanghe lowered his head and bit his lip lightly, thinking secretly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Bao's subordinate Zhao Wen personally came to Zhao Wanghe.
Seeing Zhao Wen, Xin Qi hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and asked eagerly, "Zhao Wen, how is the situation outside?" ”
"The soldiers led by Ju Xin have temporarily retreated."
After taking a few breaths, Zhao Wen scolded and said: "That drama Xin, I don't know where the little cub came out, I originally planned to find a way to kill this person, but I didn't expect this guy's martial arts to be quite good, but I was taken advantage of by that kid......"
When the letter heard this, he took a closer look, and only then did he find that Zhao Wen's shoulder was bandaged with a cloth, and the cloth was red.
"Let's not talk about that."
After saying a word to the letter, Zhao Wen walked in front of Zhao Wanghe, and after clasping his fists and saluting, Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Pang Xuan, Ju Xin, and Gongzi Zhang have surrounded our army, although they are currently besieging but not attacking, but the minister believes that they are just waiting for tomorrow's dawn." Therefore, the minister thinks that our army must break through tonight......"
"What's your plan?" Zhao Wanghe said softly.
I saw Zhao Wen lower his voice and said: "The minister has an idea, before and after the son, the minister led his corporal to break through in the direction of the military camp, pretending to escort the king to the military camp, and when the time came, Gongzi Zhang, Pang Xuan and others must be in a hurry to chase, and when the time comes, Gong Bo will protect the king to break through to the northwest and make a detour to the military camp......"
Before Zhao Wanghe could speak, Xin Zhi nodded and said: "This idea is good, it's just that there are thousands of palace guards under my command, and there are only more than 200 people left at the moment, and they are injured, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the king, in case ......."
As soon as Zhao Wen heard this, he knew that Xinqi was worried, and Zhengse said: "Has Gong Bo forgotten Zhao Ji's two thousand people?" Zhao Ji is currently in the northwest side of this place, as long as Gong Bo escapes to other places with the king, Zhao Ji will give help. Even if there are pursuers arriving at that time, Zhao Ji will lead the army to break off. ”
"That's very good." Xin Qi nodded, and immediately patted Zhao Wen's shoulder and said, "You and Zhao Ji are worthy of being Yang Wenjun's generals and loyal ministers of my Zhao State." ”
"Gong Bo's words are serious."
At the same time, Gongzizhang was also discussing countermeasures with Pang Xuan.
Today, it is the beginning of August, and the crescent moon in the night sky is not very bright, although it is not enough to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers, but even if the torch is held, there is only a few zhang of visibility, which is also the reason why Gongzizhang decided to besiege Zhao Wang He and others.
But even if he besieged but did not attack, Gongzizhang was also wary of Zhao Wang He and others leading the army to break through.
This is a view shared by Pang Xuan and him.
I have to say that Pang Xuan is familiar with the art of war, and Gongzi Zhang is almost fighting, how could they not count that King Zhao and others will find a way to break through tonight?
Even, Gongzizhang also specially said to Pang Xuan: "My army is stationed in this area, only a few dozen miles away from the Dune Palace, and I have sent someone to give an order around the evening, and the army will arrive here tomorrow morning." …… Believe in this matter, the people around Zhao He can more or less guess a few points, so they will definitely find a way to escape to Yang Wenjun's military camp today, you must intercept it. ”
"Whoa!" Pang Xuan clenched his fists and took his life.
Around midnight that night, Zhao Wen led nearly 2,000 soldiers and began to break through to Yang Wenjun's military camp.
Seeing this, Pang Xuan's Zuo Sima Juxin immediately led the army to intercept.
Even from a distance, Pang Xuan could hear Zhao Wen's soldiers shouting words such as "protect the king" and "escort the king".
To this, he smiled, with a little contempt in his smile.
"Then Zhao Wen, how much do you underestimate me Pang Xuan?"
Looking at the woods in the distance, the soldiers of the two sides were fighting with torches, Pang Xuan sneered and said to the soldiers beside him: "I bet that Zhao Junshang must not be in Zhao Wen's army!" ”
At this time, Zhao Hao was beside Pang Xuan, and when he heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Sima, you mean, that Zhao Wen is just suspicious?" ”
"How obvious."
Pang Xuan sneered and said: "If he really escorts Zhao Jun to Yang Wenjun's military camp, he must be silent, silent, and shouting like now, lest I don't know, it's obviously just to attract our attention." Zhao Hao, you lead a thousand soldiers and quietly go to the northwest side to ambush, if Zhao Jun and his party really try to escape from the northwest side, you will intercept them. ”
"Why did Sima conclude that it was the northwest side?" Zhao Hao asked puzzled.
Hearing this, Pang Xuan explained: "Zhao Wen will break through to the west, and I will definitely send troops to intercept it, so it is impossible for Zhao Junshang to break through from the west side; It is impossible in the east, north, and south directions, and it is only possible to go northwest, trying to bypass our army and quietly flee to Yang Wenjun's military camp. ”
"I see." Zhao Hao suddenly hugged his fists and left.
Glancing at the departing Zhao Hao, Pang Xuan asked left and right: "What about Meng Zhong's Xinwei Army?" Have you not joined us yet? ”
"Not yet." Left and right replied: "According to the non-commissioned officers who went to urge the Xinwei Army, the barracks where the Xinwei Army was stationed before are empty, but so far, the Xinwei Army has not delivered any news to us. ”
“……”
Hearing this, Pang Xuan frowned slightly.
He didn't doubt Meng Zhong's loyalty to Lord Zhao's father, he just wondered what the Xinwei Army was doing from evening to midnight.
"Yang Wenjun still has at least 3,000 troops in his hands who dare not move lightly, I believe it must be to prevent the Xinwei army from attacking the camp...... If Meng Zhong had the intention to attack Yang Wenjun's camp, I am afraid it would be difficult to succeed, if I were him......
After thinking about it carefully, the corners of Pang Xuan's mouth raised a little inexplicable smile.
"My Tan Guards are fighting to the death here, but you are smart, hiding in the shadows and waiting to pick up the bargain...... That's it, let me help you, and the camp that finally returns to Yang Wenjun is indeed necessary to be the first to destroy. ”
Looking at the light of the torches in the night in the distance, Pang Xuan slowly exhaled.
In his opinion, by this time tomorrow night, everything will be settled.
Of course, the premise is to successfully capture Zhao Wanghe, which is the key to this war.
