Chapter 79: The old general offers a surprise attack on Gumo City to defeat the coalition forces
"The sin will detain Qin Liang to see the protector of the Western Regions, but I ask the protector of the Western Regions to pardon my royal family!"
At this time, the monarch of Qiuzi on the wall of Yancheng was extremely nervous, and even did a good job, once Liu Bei did not agree, he closed the city gate and swore to live and die with Yancheng!
However, Liu Bei's words were like a bright light in the fog, instantly giving him infinite hope!
"You can consider letting the monarch of Qiuzi lead his ministers out of the city to meet my Han army!" Liu Bei did not consider whether to pardon the matter of the Qiuzi royal family.
For Liu Bei, the existence of the royal family does not have much impact on him, and in the Western Regions, he is destined not to let the people of the Western Regions lead the army, so he is not afraid of any rebellion! What's more, Liu Bei has this self-confidence, since he can pacify the Western Regions once, he can pacify it a second time!
And if you don't agree to this old general, maybe there will be a battle under Yancheng, and with this old general in charge, this battle may not be easy to fight!
Listening, Liu Bei's words, Qin Liang was overjoyed, at least the words he promised to the king two days ago were fulfilled! He wanted to open his mouth and shout to the city.
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "The old general can notify him of his return trip by himself, don't worry!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Liang's evaluation of Liu Bei was even higher, with such a mind, he should be a hero! At this time, Qin Liang was over sixty years old, and today's two battles gave him the idea of charging into battle, but Liu Bei's words made this idea even stronger, maybe following Liu Bei can make him famous all over the world!
Without hesitation, Qin Liang rode directly into the city! Because of this competition, plus Qin Liang's half-day rest, it was already twilight at this time.
Half an hour after entering the city, Qin Liang's cronies told Liu Bei that the whole city would fall when he was ready in an hour.
In this regard, Liu Bei said: "It's late today, tomorrow morning, I will be surrendered to the city again!" ”
But Liu Bei was worried that it was getting late, and the Qiuzi army would ambush him in the city and catch him off guard!
Several generals who followed Liu Bei were all human spirits, and Liu Bei understood the key as soon as he said it, so he didn't keep silent, and each led the army to set up camp.
And the envoy who went out of the city informed Qin Liang at this time, Qin Liang understood the problem with a little bit, and then communicated with the monarch of Qiuzi State like the palace, and rode out of the city to Liu Bei's camp again!
Liu Bei was also very strange about Qin Liang's arrival, but he didn't show it either.
"Old general, since you have already agreed to surrender tomorrow, why do you need to go out of the city again today, you should rest in the mansion!"
"Liu Duhu, the old man has been trying to protect a glass of wine recently!" Qin Liang didn't find fault either, but he also found a good excuse!
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll break the vows today and drink with you!" Liu Beijun is forbidden to drink, no matter when and where, it is forbidden to drink in the barracks, but today Liu Bei is ready to break this ring and set a table in the barracks!
"Come on, go to General Lu's army, call General Lu, and say I'll invite him to drink! By the way, prepare a table of food and drinks for me! "When Liu Bei sent away the guards around him!
At this time, there were only Liu Bei and Qin Liang in the entire camp! Of course, this is deliberately done by Liu Bei. Compared with force, Liu Bei is not afraid of Qin Liang. And there are pro-soldiers outside the camp tent. But Qin Liang didn't know Liu Bei's martial arts, if he was half-hearted, he should try it!
Later, the soldiers led Lu Bu to Liu Bei's camp, and a table of wine and food that was considered in the past was also moved to the camp!
"Come on, old General Qin, take a seat quickly, this is the number one general I accepted, Lu Bulu Fengxian, let Fengxian accompany you today!" Liu Bei smiled with satisfaction!
And Lu Bu understood as soon as he saw Qin Liang, it turned out that Liu Bei asked him to accompany the wine!
The three of them sat down, but they didn't have a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, and they all tasted it.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Liang arched his hand and said to Liu Bei: "Dadu Protector, there is one more thing to come over this time." Tomorrow, my Guizi Kingdom will be surrendered to Dadu Hu, and the old man wants to know, what will Dadu Hu do after that? ”
"I don't know what General Qin means by what he said? How was the country of Qiuzi arranged, or how was this war planned? Liu Bei asked rhetorically!
"But I want to know how Daduhu is going to win this war?" Qin Liang asked!
"There is no war in the world that must be won, only one step at a time!" Liu Bei didn't say his plan, not that Liu Bei didn't want to say it, but that he thought of discussing it after Gu Moguo and Jia Xu and Tian Feng converged!
"Dadu Hu, the old man has a plan, maybe he can help Dadu Hu end the war as soon as possible!"
"Oh, so, and tell me quickly!" Liu Bei is interested!
"Dadu Hu, this time Dadu Hu led the army from Yanqi to Qiuzi, presumably to find that all the cities between Yanqi and Qiuci were not fortified! But most of the protectors don't know, between the country of Qiuci and the country of Gumo, I have sent troops to guard all the cities of my country, and I can't put anyone into Gumo. Qin Liang said slowly.
"Oh, that's it!" Liu Bei was surprised, and gradually understood what Qin Liang meant in his mind!
"Therefore, the old man's plan is to block the news of the battle between the Guizi Kingdom and the capital, and then the old man will lead the army to attack the Wusun camp in the south city, and the old man is absolute, at least seventy percent sure of winning the battle, and then the Gumo Kingdom may only have one way to surrender!"
"This plan is very good, I can also sneak scouts to inform the military advisor Jia Xu and Tian Feng, and cooperate with you at that time!" But it was Liu Bei who added a double insurance on the basis of this strategy, which greatly increased the winning rate!
"It's just that we need to think of another complete excuse to make it work!" Liu Bei added here!
After that, the three chatted until late at night, and Liu Bei did not mention to recruit Qin Liang, and Qin Liang did not propose to recognize Liu Bei! Liu Bei didn't stay overnight with Qin Liang that night, and late at night, Qin Liangyou rode back to Yancheng here alone!
Early the next morning, as agreed, the entire Qiuzi country surrendered to Liu Bei, and then everything became simple, Liu Bei led the army into the city, and Bai Li, the monarch of the Qiuci country, had sorted out the palace and prepared for Liu Bei to move in, but out of courtesy, Liu Bei did not move in, but directly moved into the Yancheng camp with the whole army!
After that, Bubang Anmin, released Qingzhuang, and handed over the remaining less than 10,000 elites of the Qiuzi Kingdom to Qin Liang for the time being.
All government affairs in the country of Qiuzi will remain the status quo for the time being, and the officials will be redetermined when the battle of the Western Regions is over!
In fact, the night before, Liu Bei carefully thought about the feasibility of Qin Liang's strategy, and found that there was a lot to be done, and the only difficulty was to find a better excuse, and if there was a better excuse, this plan would be feasible. And after thinking about it, he only found two excuses, one is to pretend to be a rout, deceive the trust and re-enter the camp, but it is quite difficult, Chi Xingmi is not easy to match, and the number of rout troops cannot be too large; The second is that Qin Liang led the army, falsely claiming that Liu Bei had entered Wusun again, but the risk was not small, not to mention whether Chi Xingmi would send someone to Wusun to confirm, even this excuse was quite unconvincing.
In the end, after thinking about it again, Liu Bei still decided to attack the camp with a rout, and it was best to attack the camp when Chi Xingmi was not in the camp. It really can't be done, so you can only fight hard.
After all the matters of the Qiuci Kingdom were properly handled, Liu Bei ordered Zheng Xu and Qin Ming to stay in the Qiuci Kingdom, and then Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Qin Liang and Huang Zhong led an army of 20,000 to change into the clothes of the coalition army, and carried Bai Li, the monarch of the Qiuci Kingdom, all the way to the Gumo Kingdom and dispersed. And Liu Bei himself led a thousand Liu Bei tigers and leopards to ride, and set off later.
Before sending troops, Liu Bei had already sent scouts all the way to Runan City to get in touch with Jia Xu, asking Jia Xu to keep an eye on the situation of Chi Xingmi's camp, and inform Jia Xu of this plan, asking Jia Xu to cooperate.
The 20,000 soldiers had no horses to ride all the way, and they had already entered the territory of Gumo after two days of rapid marching, and all the soldiers were mentally exhausted. And on this day, Jia Xu's scouts also came to Liu Beijun's tent to tell what had happened during this time.
Since the departure of the army that rushed to the aid of the Qiuzi Kingdom, Chi Xingmi's Xiangjia Xu camp launched four or five attacks, but all of them failed to make a contribution due to Jia Xu's very strict defense.
Moreover, Chi Xingmi never left the country's own military camp, so Liu Bei extinguished the idea of waiting for Chi Xingmi to leave the barracks, and ordered Huang Zhong and others to set off directly and act on camera.
The 20,000 defeated soldiers who had rested for a day ran all the way to the camp of Xiangchi Xingmi Wusun Kingdom again after nightfall, while Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were wearing ordinary armor and hiding behind Qin Liang to protect Bai Li.
After only half a night, the four of them led the rout army to within two hundred zhang of Chi Xingmi's camp. But at the same time, it was discovered by the patrol of the Chi Xingmi battalion.
"Who's coming?"
"Hurry up and report to the general, just say that the Qiuci country has been defeated, I will wait all the way to here, I hope the general will take me in, I am Qin Liang, the general of the Qiuci country." Qin Liang opened his mouth and said.
The patrol did not dare to slack off, and quickly entered the camp to report to Chi Xingmi, and after a while, Chi Xingmi came to the door of the camp. At this time, there were still routs approaching the camp one after another, shouting as they walked, Liu Bei's army chased after them.
