Chapter 114: Zhang Wenyuan turned around and sniped Guan Yunchang outwitted Qu Yang
Guan Yu and Zhang Liao led an army of 20,000 people to march day and night, quietly approaching Xiaquyang, and Zhang Liao suggested to Guan Yu along the way.
"Brother Yun, the lord asked us to lead the troops to attack Zhang Bao, although it was not said, but if we suffered too many casualties, it would affect the lord's follow-up plan!"
"It's true, I'm also thinking about this matter, but there is no safe way, I originally thought of going down to Quyang City to make sure, but now Wen Yuan proposed at this time, isn't Wen Yuan a good suggestion?" When Guan Yu heard Zhang Liao's words, he raised his eyebrows, and then hurriedly asked!
"Brother Yun, this attack on Xia Quyang is mainly to lure Zhang Bao out of the city, if Zhang Bao sends too many troops, then even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. Therefore, Liao thought that he could lead a small group of elites to fight under the city of Xiaquyang. ”
"If Zhang Bao goes out of the city, you can surround Zhang Bao, and then surround the point to send reinforcements, and when the reinforcements from Quyang come out, then surround and kill the reinforcements with a large army, so that we may be able to protect our soldiers to the greatest extent! More likely to take down Quyang! Zhang Liao said his thoughts!
"Well, show the enemy weakness, encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Guan Yu smiled, and then continued.
"In this way, Wen Yuan, you will lead the people to fight with Xia Quyang, I lead the troops to ambush, I don't know what Wen Yuan thinks?"
"As it should be."
After that, Zhang Liao led 3,000 troops under the city of Quyang, and did not attack the city, but scolded directly outside the city, first began to scold Zhang Bao, and saw that there was no movement in the city of Quyang, and began to scold Zhang Jiao again.
In the city of Xiaquyang, Zhang Bao looked at the Han army team of only 3,000 people outside the city, and heard Zhang Liao leading people to scold himself and his brother, where could he still bear it, so he hurriedly ordered 10,000 troops and killed them outside the city!
Zhang Liao saw that the city gate was wide open, and he knew that there would be a large army out of the city, so he rectified the army, and at the same time, the rear team changed to the front team and retreated back unhurriedly, while retreating and scolding.
Zhang Bao was furious, and hurriedly urged the soldiers to go out of the city, and even the opportunity of the young general on the side could not listen to the advice, let alone wait for the whole army to go out of the city to set up a formation, so he directly led the army to pursue Zhang Liao, and then the army that went out of the city one after another, and the entire Zhang Bao's 10,000 army was sparse and stretched for two miles.
Zhang Liao fled forward for more than 20 miles, and then reined in his horse and turned back, at this time Zhang Bao's army had already entered Guan Yu's ambush circle!
When Zhang Bao saw Zhang Liao who stopped, he laughed, "Why don't you run away?" How dare you scold my local general Zhang Bao? also scolded the great sage and good teacher Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, I see that you don't know how to write dead words! ”
"Hmph, I think you don't know how to write dead characters, the Han Dynasty has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and you dare to make trouble. Now I will lead my army to destroy you and other traitors! ”
After saying that, Zhang Liao led the troops to attack like Zhang Bao, and at the same time, Guan Yu also sent troops from the slopes on both sides, and surrounded Zhang Bao's 10,000 army at once, due to the continuous pursuit of Zhang Liao, plus the Han army was twice as large as Zhang Bao's army, so in less than an hour, the Yellow Turban thieves surrendered on their knees in addition to the dead and wounded!
For this scene, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were dumbfounded, originally wanted to surround Zhang Bao and lure Zhang Jiao to send reinforcements, but now Zhang Bao is ready to be captured, what should I do?
In desperation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to discuss with Guan Yu, "Brother Yun, this time we are a big deal for the lord!" Now that Zhang Bao has been captured, what should we do? ”
At this time, Zhang Liao was still young, although he had a certain amount of courage and strategy, he was not as calm as in his previous life, so he immediately felt uneasy when he encountered this incident.
"Wen Yuan, don't panic, Zhang Baocheng's arrest has become a fact, and we will find a remedy from this time alone." After a pause, Guan Yuyou began to speak.
"Wen Yuan, can you pick out a part of the soldiers who are forced to be thieves from the surrendered thief army! Then two clever people were selected from the army and went to Zhang Jiao's camp together to talk about Zhang Bao's siege! Trick Zhang Jiao into sending troops to aid Zhang Bao! ”
"Eh, yes, Brother Yun, this plan is very good, we can also play the role of the Yellow Turban Pawn, earn the gate of Quyang, and then kill the evil leader and the Yellow Turban loyalist, so that Quyang can be under our control."
"Then select the strong to fill our army, and promise that those who survive after the war can be exempted from the death penalty, otherwise they will all be executed, Liao Sizhi will be able to get tens of thousands of strong, and then defeat the Zhang Jiao reinforcements in one fell swoop, and then they can compete with the Guangzong thief army!"
Zhang Liao listened to Guan Yu's words, and then after thinking about it, he opened his mouth to suggest!
After that, the two of them selected a colonel who had no choice but to be a thief in the army, and at the same time sent four elite clever soldiers to go to Zhang Jiao's army to ask for help with this colonel!
Then Guan Yu led an army of 15,000 to knock out Zhang Bao, and the soldiers were divided into three ways and rushed all the way down to Quyang at night, but they wanted to open the gate of Quyang.
However, Zhang Liao led about 4,000 soldiers and began to screen the surrender army, and all the people who were loyal to the Yellow Turban were executed, and the non-Yellow Turban loyalists were also filled into the Han army, with a total of 6,000 people, and the original 4,000 army, a total of 20,000 people, and then followed Guan Yu to Quyang!
Outside the city of Xiaquyang.
"Castle and people?" The guard on the wall asked!
"Open the city gate quickly, General Digong is now unconscious due to the middle arrow, and he urgently needs medical treatment!" Guan Yu ordered people to shout outside the city.
"What, General Digong is injured? I'm going to send someone down to check it out! The guard said hurriedly!
This guard is already careful, if he were an ordinary person, he would have opened the city gate to welcome Zhang Bao, and this general actually knew that he wanted to investigate, which is really good!
After a while, a person was lowered from the city wall, and then this person took a closer look and really found Zhang Bao lying on the stretcher with a pale face. Then he shouted in a panic to the city wall.
"General Luo, it is indeed the Digong General, open the city gate quickly, the Digong General is afraid that it will not work!"
Hearing this, the city gate slowly opened after a while, and Guan Yu led the army to rush in without saying a word, while the guards who had shouted before were waiting nervously at the gate opening.
As soon as Guan Yu saw this guard, he directly shot a knife to restrain this person, and then shouted:
"The army of the Han Dynasty has arrived, put down the weapons and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy will not be killed, in addition to slaughtering them, the thief general Digong General has been captured alive, and the great virtuous teacher and the Rengong general have also been killed."
The accompanying soldiers shouted while slaughtering the resistants, and at the same time the 10,000 troops who followed behind entered the city one after another, and an hour later, Zhang Liao led 10,000 soldiers into the city of Xiaquyang.
After a night of cleanup, all my Yellow Turban diehards in the entire Xiaquyang were executed, and the rest of the soldiers were selected by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to be 25,000 strong, and then filled into the army, and the rest of the surrendered Yellow Turbans were all taken into the original camp of the Yellow Turbans in the city and imprisoned.
Then the two led the army to rest for a night, and then Guan Yu led an army of 30,000 out of the city, and camped outside the city, besieging Quyang!
Two days later.
The five people selected by Zhang Liao arrived at Guangzong City, and when they saw Zhang Jiao, they all talked about Zhang Bao being besieged in Quyang. It's just that Zhang Liao didn't expect that this little colonel was still quite famous among the Yellow Turban thieves, and there were still people who knew him in Guangzong, so there was no problem in gaining Zhang Jiao's trust, and then he sent five people back to Xiaquyang, and said that reinforcements would come unexpectedly!
After the little colonel led the four people away, Zhang Jiao gathered to discuss.
"Great virtuous and good teacher, this time the general of Digong was besieged, but the Han army attacked Quyang without knowing where it was, could it be the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Bei on the other side?" The general asked.
"It shouldn't be, Liu Bei hasn't moved in the past few days, it shouldn't be, I think it should be during this time that the Han Dynasty court saw that Guangzong and Xia Quyang couldn't attack for a long time, and sent another army to attack Xia Quyang." Zhang Jiao opened his mouth to analyze.
"I don't think it should be, according to the messenger of General Digong, there are 50,000 troops besieging Quyang, and Liu Bei's military camp is only more than 60,000 troops, how dare you send 50,000 troops to besiege Quyang?" Zhang Liang said.
"Okay, let's not analyze, let's discuss how to rescue the Digong General!" Zhang Jiao ended everyone's speculation!
"Big brother, let me lead the army to Xia Quyang to rescue the second brother." Zhang Liang said.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiao began to command.
"In this way, third brother, I will let you lead 150,000 soldiers to Xiaquyang to rescue your second brother, but you must be very careful."
"Okay, I'll order troops to go with me to save the second brother!" Zhang Liang said excitedly.
"Okay, then you can bring another 30,000 yellow turban wrestlers to prevent accidents!"
Zhang Jiaoyou said uneasily.
