Chapter 118: The Wolf Burial Post Waiting for Lu Bu
"General, I don't understand, why did we come here to save Xuzhou this time, and we can take Pengcheng again, why don't we want it?" Wang Yong was puzzled and asked.
Zhao Xu's eyes opened slightly, looking at Wang Yong, Zhao Yun said: "Big brother didn't use the 'encirclement of Wei to save Zhao' strategy this time. ”
Zhao Xu laughed, "Zilong, what you said is good, but there is still a little less, not just to save Zhao with Wei Wei." ”
Zhao Xu was strategic, and he spoke eloquently, "Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou this time, with Yuan Shu behind his back, he was fierce, and he thought he was worry-free behind, but in fact, Yuan Shu was such a stupid person, compared to Yuan Shao, it was far inferior, Lu Bu was backed by Yuan Shu, and he was really stupid." ”
Zhao Xu has always been steady, although he is full of confidence when facing the enemy, but Zhao Yun has never seen Zhao Xu so indifferent to the enemy, I am afraid that Zhao Xu is arrogant because of his merits, and said: "Big brother, forgive Zilong for saying a lot, then Yuan Shu is also a prince all the way, big brother should not be underestimated!" ”
Zhao Xu guessed what Zhao Yun was thinking, and said with a smile: "Haha! Zilong, you think too much, Xuzhou was quickly captured by Lu Bu, the reason was that he was not prepared and caught off guard, so that he was defeated by Lu Bu with one blow; However, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian is a loyal minister of the Han family, although he has lost dozens of battles in a row, he still does not give up, and he is admirable and admirable. Relying on Tao Qian to defend Xuzhou City alone, although Lu Bu is a hungry wolf, it is difficult to chew this hard bone; The reason why I let my uncle go to Xuzhou City to rescue first was to solve Xuzhou's urgency, and second, to make Lu Bu dare not act rashly; Moreover, I asked Han Sheng to attack the county town of Donghai, which confused the public, and made Lu Bujun's heart panic and difficult to care about. ”
"Oh!" Hearing Zhao Xu say this, Zhao Yun suddenly realized and said: "I know, the eldest brother only besieged and killed the soldiers defending the city of Pengcheng before and did not attack, and came directly to Xiapi, which was to attack the east and the west, so that Chen Gong thought that our purpose was to go down to Pi, and Xiapi was a heavy land, Lu Bu must return to the army to rescue, we attacked Xiapi is just a void, and it is true to ambush Lu Bu to rescue the soldiers; Also, on the one hand, he asked General Huang Lao to attack the county town of Donghai, so that Lu Bu could not take care of each other, so that his army was confused, and then it could be broken in one fell swoop. ”
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhao Xu was also taken aback, and said: "Well, Zilong has made progress, and that's pretty much it." ”
Zhao Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, "Where, it's all the credit of the eldest brother, Zilong is like this." ”
On weekdays, Zhao Xu discusses the art of war with Zhao Yun, one is that Zhao Yun is now his younger brother after all, and he should hope that his son will become a dragon. By the way, the two also made Zhao Yun grow into a fierce general who stood alone, and it was a big help to promote the unification of the world.
"Okay, it's almost here, and it's still more than thirty miles away from Xiapi City." Zhao Xu looked around, looked around, the road ahead is a few zhang high, undulating slopes like waves, a rugged and winding, through the mountains and valleys, the trees on both sides are towering, thorns, quite dangerous, it is a good place for ambush.
Zhao Xu asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”
Zhao Yun called the guide, asked, and said to Zhao Xu: "Big brother, this place is changed to a wolf burial post." ”
"Burial wolf gang, good! It is the benefit of burying the wolf. Zhao Xu smiled.
"Big brother has to ambush here, this place is dangerous, I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be fooled?"
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that he will be fooled, Lu Bu is rushing to death with tens of thousands of pigs!" Monk! Monk! ”
"Wang Yong is here, what does the general command?"
Zhao Xu shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to my military orders, monk, you lead three thousand soldiers......" Zhao Xu repeated the plan three times, and Wang Yong remembered it clearly.
"Okay, monk, you listen well, if the plan fails, come and see you." Zhao Xu shouted.
"No!" Wang Yong shouted. Anyway, Zhao Xu wouldn't really want Wang Yong's life, and Wang Yong wasn't very afraid; On the contrary, he felt happy, this is Wang Yong's first time leading troops, in fact, this kind of strategy is very simple, you can change someone casually, but Zhao Xu still let himself go, this is trust! Wang Yong was moved and secretly swore that he must not disappoint General Zhao Xu.
However, one day, Wang Yong and 3,000 soldiers had already built a large camp outside Xiapi City, although it was relatively hasty, but it was no problem to confuse the soldiers defending the city in Xiapi City.
The soldiers guarding the city saw a large camp built on the opposite hill, and the banner clearly read: "Hussar General Zhao Xu", the soldiers defending the city were shocked, and there was a sudden commotion on the city, Qin Yilu, the general of the city guard, was patrolling everywhere, listening to the news, he was surprised, and saw the opposite hill, looking from afar, several miles from afar, densely packed, all of them were Qingzhou soldiers and camps, Qin Yilu slightly counted the number of flags, I am afraid that there were no more than 10,000.
Qin Yilu didn't dare to be slack, and waited for it. The palms of his hands were sweating nervously, and his head was full of sweat, Zhao Xu defeated Yuan Shao and defeated Lu Bu, Qin Yilu, as Lu Bu's subordinate, was very aware of Zhao Xu's ability, and couldn't help but tremble.
However, Qin Yilu didn't see Zhao Xu attacking the city, but he saw that there were Zhao Xu's army banners all around Xiapi, and he was also afraid, so he just waited for the battle and held the city.
Wang Yong, in accordance with Zhao Xu's order, unhurriedly set up grass camps in various places on the outskirts of Xiapi City, and surrounded the frame of Xiapi City. During the day, cavalry was dispatched to gallop back and forth in the forests outside the city, or galloped back and forth along the mountain road, and the war horses galloped, raising billowing smoke and dust. No one can tell how many people there are. At night, Wang Yong changed a group of riders outside the city and kept disturbing in all directions. The sound of horses' hooves can be heard everywhere in Xiapi City, and everyone in Xiapi City is in danger, for fear of attacking the city. In the second half of the night, the sergeants were all tired. Wang Yong saw it outside the city, and the drums and horns rang in unison. The guards in Xiapi City were panicked and thought they were coming to attack the city. Qin Yilu hurriedly raised his gun to the head of the city, but he didn't see half a person outside the city. I was secretly relieved. Qin Yilu had just returned to the camp to prepare to rest, when the war drums and killing shouts outside started again, and the shouts shook the ground, and even the surrounding valleys listened to the sound. The soldiers in the city were frightened and stayed awake all night, just hoping that Lu Bu's army would come to the rescue.
Soldiers are fast. Lu Bu was worried about the safety of Xiapi, so he rushed from Xuzhou overnight, more than 300 miles, and rushed to more than 100 miles outside Xiapi City in only one day and one night.
At that time, Lu Bu's soldiers were poor, and Lu Bu was also worried that Zhao Xu would use a plan, although he was eager, he still didn't dare to act rashly, so he sent 3,000 cavalry to explore the road first. Lu Bu's 3,000-strong vanguard had only traveled more than 20 miles, and was crashing into the encirclement of Zhou Cang, when it was attacked by a large number of archers who had already prepared in the forest. Lu Bu's army rushed to the battle, coupled with the fact that he walked too quickly, everyone was sleepy, and he was so frightened that he was sweating, and Zhou Cang's army was strong with crossbows, not to mention shooting at close range, and more than half of the three thousand cavalry fell to the ground in an instant.
The rest of the cavalry was terrified, resisting and retreating. Zhou Cang called the school swordsmen to hurry up and chase them, and after a fierce battle, Lu Bu's army was killed and wounded more than half, but Zhou Cang did not chase and let go of the remaining cavalry and let them go back to report the news.
Lu Bu was resting, and suddenly saw more than 100 cavalrymen in front of him, all covered in blood, and when he saw that it was his own person, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation, but Zhao Xu is here?" ”
One of the soldiers shouted, "My lord, we were on the march when we were suddenly attacked by the enemy, and most of the brothers were shot with bows and crossbows. ”
Lu Bu was furious, seeing that there were only about 100 people left in the 3,000 iron cavalry sent out, Lu Bu was shocked, but also full of anger. Immediately, he shouted angrily: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
Lu Bu's army surged, and he immediately killed Xia Pi. Lu Bu got up and went straight to the burial wolf hill, and looked up to see that the two mountains were narrow and the trees were overgrown; It was late summer and early autumn, and the foliage was luxuriant. Lu Bu felt uneasy in his heart and didn't dare to take the plunge. Only watched from the entrance in front of the wolf gang, Lu Bushun looked at it, and only saw a main flag fluttering on the top of the low mountain from a distance, with a big "Zhao" character written on it.
Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp. Lu Bu was secretly glad in his heart, thinking that Chen Gong had guessed that it was indeed right, and Zhao Xu led the main force to attack Xiapi. Sure enough, it was a plan to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", but fortunately he learned a lesson and did not dare to underestimate the enemy, otherwise, it would have been more than just 3,000 cavalry who were ambushed just now, and it was even possible that the whole army would be annihilated. Lu Bu couldn't help but scold himself secretly, this road to bury the wolf gang is the closest to Xiapi, but the terrain is dangerous, Lu Bu feels that Zhao Xu is scheming, never plays cards according to the routine, and is afraid that Zhao Xu will ambush on other roads, so he led the main army to go this way, but he didn't expect it...... If the three armies had sent a few more horses to explore the horses before they were dispatched, most of the three thousand cavalry had been killed and wounded just now, and most of the three thousand cavalry were brought by Lu Bu from Bingzhou all the way to Bingzhou, and Lu Bu was also distressed by such a big loss. Lu Bu looked around, saw that the situation here was narrow, the trees on both sides were towering, thorny, quite dangerous, he couldn't help but be frightened, he didn't dare to enter the army, and urgently ordered to retreat, and set up a position in the open area half a mile away from the burial wolf gang, and deployed defense.
"Zhou Cang, has Lu Bu's army arrived?" At this time, Zhao Xu was in the military camp, Zhao Xu was looking at the self-made sand table and asked.
"Lu Bu's army has arrived outside the wolf burial post, but he doesn't seem to dare to come in, he only watches from outside the post!" Zhou Cang responded
"Good!" Zhao Xu spoke, turned to the imperial history in front of the army, and ordered: "Prepare for the war book!" Let's just say that the three family slaves, I don't know what to do, dare to oppose the Han, harass Xuzhou, is unkind and unjust, and everyone will be punished; Also, about him to fight a decisive battle at the Burial Wolf Gang tomorrow, the general will personally meet the battle, if he surrenders now, the general will read that he knows the current affairs, and on the day of capture, he can be changed to a car split. Ha - the Great Han Hussar General Zhao Xu! ”
"Yes!" The imperial history in front of the army responded, and it seemed that he had been prepared, and he prepared the battle book in a moment and presented it to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
"This-" Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, did you write it backwards, this car crack seems to be more cruel than hanging!" ”
Zhao Xu smiled: "I didn't write it back, just write it as I said, and don't miss that long laugh!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Zhao Xu walked to the sand table, picked up a wooden stick and pointed to different places in the sand table, and said loudly: "Everyone, please see, from here to here, it is where Lu Bu's army is located; So far, a certain plan has been successful, although Lu Bu's army does not dare to enter the valley now, but the day of entering the valley to die is not far away. Lu Bu's 50,000 stupid pigs have jumped on the board exactly according to our wishes, waiting for the generals to slaughter them. However, although the stupid pig jumped on the board, he would not sit still. How you enjoy it depends on the skills of the generals! ”
The generals shouted in unison: "How to do it, but please give the general an order!" ”
"Okay, the generals obey the order!"
Including Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang, all the generals stood still, staring at Zhao Xu with a pair of eyes.
Zhao Xu said loudly: "In the middle of this valley, Zilong, you lead the troops to set up a long snake formation, and when Lu Bu's stupid pig arrives, he will be bound immediately." At that time, it will be up to you to besiege this hungry wolf! ”
"No!"
