Chapter 782: Cheng Gongying's Plan to Retire Zhang (I)

And now Zhang Guyi is assisted by the direct strategy of law and filial piety, and there are many other armies than our army, and it is difficult to defeat them.

According to what I can see, General Zhao should take advantage of the undecided hearts of the soldiers and horses in Xichuan, withdraw his troops as soon as possible tonight, rush back to Jinzhu, take precautions, and wait for the soldiers and horses of Yongzhou and Liang to rush to help before making a final conclusion. ”

"What the military advisor said is reasonable. It has been some time now, if nothing else, when our army returns to Jinzhu, reinforcements from Yongzhou and Liang may have arrived. ”

Zhao Yun listened to Cheng Gongying's advice, abandoned the camp that night, and withdrew to Jinzhu. The next day, Zhang Ren sent scouts to investigate, and learned that Zhao Yun had withdrawn his army, and immediately waved his army to Jinzhu City.

A few days later, Yan Yan and Fa Zheng led the front soldiers and horses to the bank of a long river, as long as they crossed the river and walked five miles away, it was Jinzhu City. Yan Yan ordered the front army to cross the water and line up. Fa Zheng frowned and said to Yan Yan.

"General Yan, if the army wants to cross the water, if the enemy army is attacking, it must retreat sharply, so what can I do?"

Yan Yan heard this and laughed.

"Dharma sacrificial wine, don't you hear that Han Xin was in the back of the water in the past, and the so-called death was born later! If the other army really rushed to attack, our soldiers worked together and fought desperately, how could it be invincible! ”

Fa Zheng's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly shook his head and admonished again.

"Not so! The former Han Xin expected that the Chu army had no plan and used this plan, and it worked wonders! Now in Jinzhu City, Zhao Yun and Cheng Gongying are all outstanding people in the world, can the general predict the meaning of Zhao Yun and Cheng Gongying? ”

Yan Yan's eyes as big as a bronze bell widened instantly, everyone in the world said how powerful the Northwest Army was, but Yan Yan didn't think so, he was blindly jealous, but he would only end up helpless. Yan Yan finished thinking about it and said in a condensed voice.

"There is no need to say much about the sacrificial wine, if the other army really attacks and kills, you can lead the infantry army to resist the enemy, and watch me lead the horse army to break it!"

Yan Yan's attention has been decided, and it is useless to persuade the law. Yan Yan then ordered the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, and then crossed the river to Jinzhu.

However, it was said that Yan Yan led the army to cross the Han River, but Fa Zheng did not listen to the bitter advice and crossed the Han River to camp. There have long been scouts of the civil army, and they have finished reporting Jinzhu. Zhao Yun listened to the report and quickly gathered the generals and strategists to discuss. Cheng Gongying heard the arrangement of Xichuan's soldiers and horses, smiled coldly, and offered Zhao Yun a plan like this.

Zhao Yun acted according to the plan, and led a soldier and horse with Pang De to meet Yan Yan's Xichuan soldiers and horses. On the same day, the soldiers and horses were gathered, and Zhao Yun and Pang De led the troops.

On the way, Zhao Yun and Pang De said.

"According to what the military advisor said, Yan Yan came bravely today, and he first stopped fighting the enemy. When the soldiers are tired at dusk, you and I can divide our troops into two ways to attack! ”

Pang Deran, each led an army to occupy the wall. Yan Yan led his troops to fight from Chenshi, and until Shenshi, the soldiers and horses in the northwest had not moved. Seeing this, Yan Yan noticed that the soldiers were a little tired, so he intended to withdraw to the village first, but he was afraid that the Northwest Army would take the opportunity to cover up the killing, so he taught the crossbowmen to move forward and shoot at the Wangwen military camp.

Zhao Yun looked at it outside the village and smiled at Pang De.

"Yan Yan ordered those who shoot crossbows and crossbows, and their army will definitely retreat! If you don't take advantage of the time to hit it, when will you wait?! ”

Before Zhao Yun could speak, he suddenly reported that the Xichuan rear team really retreated. So the drums of the Wen army camp shook loudly, Zhao Yun led the troops to kill quickly from the left side of the camp, and Pang De led the troops to rush out from the right side. The two armies attacked left and right, Zhao Yun and Pang De bore the brunt, the weapons in their hands danced impenetrable, and the offensive was extremely fierce, like a dragon and lion pounced on food, each killing a bloody road.

Yan Yan couldn't resist it, and fled in defeat, and his sergeants have been chased and killed by Zhao Yun and Pang De's deployment, forced into the Long River, and the soldiers and horses of Xichuan were killed without backhand, and they fell into the river and drowned the dead, countless people.

The two generals Zhao and Pang were blood-red, and when they saw that the defeat of the Xichuan soldiers and horses had been decided, they no longer entangled themselves and returned to the village. On the other side, Yan Yan fought to the death, returned to the camp and scolded Fa Zheng, and roared sharply.

"Fa Xiaozhi, you see that our army is in danger, why don't you save it?"

Fa Zheng's face sank, and he shouted in a condensed voice.

"If I come to the rescue, this village will not be protected. I told my husband to take a leave of absence, but he refused to listen, so he was defeated! Yan Yan was furious when he heard this, and was about to attack, when suddenly a soldier came to report, and sure enough, a scout not far from the camp found that a northwest army and horses were retreating. Only then did Yan Yan know that it was indeed as Fazheng expected. If the law is true to save it, the camp will be lost. Yan Yan then apologized to Fa Zheng for his crimes. Fa Zheng sighed and sighed, and did not pursue it anymore.

The next day, Zhang Ren led the army to arrive, and heard that Yan Yan was rash and rash, and folded nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses, plus Ma Chao's previous folds, nearly 10,000 troops were lost before and after. Zhang Ren was furious and scolded Yan Yan.

"You are a general in the army, and you are familiar with the art of war, don't you know that whenever there is a battle, you must leave a way to retreat, so as to prepare for the enemy's fierce attack and hard take! Fortunately, the Dharma sacrifice wine is cautious, otherwise even this camp will be taken by the other army! ”

Yan Yan knew that he was wrong and didn't dare to refute it. Seeing this, the generals came to persuade one after another. Zhang Ren calmed his anger a little, first remembered Yan Yan, and then Liu Zhang personally punished him after the battle was over.

Zhang Ren's army arrived, and Fa Zheng suggested that he take advantage of the weakness of his army and take advantage of the situation to seize the village. Zhang Ren acted according to the plan, and pro-unified the army to capture the Wen army Zhaizha. Zhao Yun was afraid that it would be difficult to stand alone, so he retreated to the west of the river. The two armies were separated by water.

Zhao Yun and Cheng Gongying came to observe the situation. Zhao Yun looked at the soldiers and horses in Xichuan, there were many people, there were many camps, his brows were furrowed, and he said to Cheng Gongying.

"It's a pity that the previous law and filial piety saw through the strategy, and did not capture the camp of the other army, and most of the men and horses in Xichuan rushed to arrive, and the Yong and Liang reinforcements have not been able to arrive at this time. Jinzhu is in danger, if Jinzhu is lost, our army will have no barrier in Dongchuan, Zhang Guyi can divide the army to attack, Dongchuan is in danger! ”

Zhao Yun has a lot of worries, although the self-army has taken the lead and has several small victories, but there are too many soldiers and horses in Xichuan, once the self-army makes some mistakes, it will be destroyed. At this time, Zhao Yun only felt like walking on thin ice, step by step!

Cheng Gongying was calm, he knew that as a strategist, he must not lose his sense of proportion. Cheng Gongying's eyes shimmered, looking at the terrain around,

Seeing the head of the river, there is a belt of dirt and mountains, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people. Suddenly, the corners of Cheng Gongying's mouth curled up slightly, and said to Zhao Yun beside him.

"General Zhao doesn't need to panic, I have a plan, maybe it will work wonders!"

"The military advisor has a plan, come quickly!"

When Zhao Yun heard this, his face immediately turned happy. Cheng Gongying smiled brightly.

"General Zhao can first send General Pang outside Jinzhu Mountain, bring more horses, and raise dust on the high mountain, and have deceived the other army into thinking that Yong and Liang reinforcements have arrived. At the same time, General Zhao could lead 500 people, all with drums and horns, to lie down under the dirt mountain, or in the middle of the night, or at dusk, only to listen to the cannon in our camp, the cannon sounded, and the drums were beaten. Just don't go to war.

Zhang Guyi saw the storm and dust, thinking that our army's reinforcements had arrived, and then listening to the sound of drums, he must have thought that our army was going to wave troops to attack, and he must have been afraid. And then like this, the other army can be broken in one drum! “

Zhao Yun listened to the plan, his eyes were full of surprise, and he laughed ecstatically.

"Hahaha! The military advisor has a wonderful plan, although Zhang Guyi and Fa Xiaozhi understand the art of war, they are inevitably confused by the plan! ”

Cheng Gongying made another trick, and Zhao Yun acted according to the plan and made arrangements. Cheng Gongying was secretly peeping on the high mountain. The next day, Zhang Ren waved his troops to fight in front of the Wen army camp, but no one in the camp came out, and no bows and crossbows were issued.

Zhang Ren was about to attack, and suddenly saw the dust in the distance, and the sound of countless horses' hooves whistled frequently, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses were coming. Zhang Ren was shocked, thinking that the Yong and Liang reinforcements were coming, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he ordered the armies to withdraw to the camp and move when he saw the situation.

Deeper that night, Cheng Gongying saw that the lights of the Xichuan camp were lit up, and the sergeant rested, so he released the cannon. Zhao Yun at the dirt mountain heard it, and the soldiers and soldiers sounded in unison. The sound of drums is very close to the Xichuan camp, and the whole Xichuan camp is shaken. The soldiers and horses of Xichuan panicked, only suspected of robbing the village, panicked, and rushed out of the camp one after another, but there was no army.

Zhang Ren was suspicious and asked the law. Fa Zheng thought for a while, and felt that this was most likely the other army's strategy to harass the enemy, and said to Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren also felt like this, so he ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to rest. I don't know how long it took, the trumpets sounded again, the drums and horns sounded again, the shouts shook the ground, and the valley echoed. Nishikawa soldiers and horses were restless all night. For three nights, so suspicious, Zhang Ren was timid, and for three days he saw the wind and dust in the distance, and the Yong and Liang reinforcements did not know how many. Zhang Ren retreated thirty miles from the village just in case, camped in an open place, and sent more scouts to investigate, find out the reality of his army, and then take action.

At the same time, just the day before yesterday, Tian Feng finally rushed to Jinzhu with Yong and Liang reinforcements, bringing more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Xu Rong, Liu Pi, Liang Xing and other generals. Zhao Yun was overjoyed and gathered in front of the tent to discuss.

Cheng Gongying attended the ceremony and said.

"Binhou reinforcements have arrived, and big things can be helped!"

At that time, Tian Feng made many meritorious achievements, and made great contributions to the state and Dongchuan, and Wen Han reported his merits to the imperial court and obtained the position of guest marquis for him. When Zhao Yun heard this, he also laughed. Cheng Gongying then invited Zhao Yun to cross the Han River in person and camp against the water.

"No! If our army camps on its back, if Xichuan overturns and attacks, our army will be in a catastrophe! ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he was immediately shocked, explained the stakes, and hurriedly blocked him. However, Zhao Yun smiled and said nothing, Tian Feng's face froze, he didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Cheng Gongying with doubts. Cheng Gongying said that this and so, and told him what to do. Tian Feng was overjoyed and laughed.

Tian Feng's reinforcements arrived, and Zhao Yun's troops rose to more than 37,000 people, and according to Cheng Gongying's previous strategy, each made arrangements.

However, it was said that Zhang Renwenzhi Zhao Yun had a back in the underwater village, and he had doubts in his heart, so he made people come to the war book. Cheng Gongying had already prepared for a decisive battle in Japan. The next day, the two armies will form a formation in the plain below the mountain.

Zhang Ren stood under the banner of the door, led the generals, two lines of Bule Xichuan flags, beat drums and three links, and called Zhao Yun to answer. Zhao Yun led Liu Pi and Liang Xing out.

When Zhang Ren saw Zhao Yun, he raised his whip and scolded.

"Zhao Zilong, you have been quite ambitious since you were a child, and you want to save the people and calm the chaos in the world. You once said to me that the eldest husband should learn from Wei Qing and Huo Quai, make meritorious contributions to the desert, drive hundreds of thousands of people, drive away foreign races, shock and rebel thieves, stabilize the society, and stabilize the country and the country! Now you are aiding evil and being a thief who rebels against the court!! Every time I think of your words in the past, I feel bitter and shameful!! ”

Zhao Yun listened to Zhang Ren's accusation, but he was not moved in the slightest, his eyes were Lingran, and he looked at Zhang Ren and said in a condensed voice.

"My lord is extraordinary, benevolent and righteous, and has all the people of the world in mind. In the land under their jurisdiction, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Where in the world are the people, why not hope to be ruled by my lord! Now the Han dynasty is in decline, the society is controlled by traitors, and the Son of Heaven is like a puppet in his hands. This is known to the whole world. Your lord Liu Jiyu is a member of the Han family, but he is willing to be a thief's minions. You Zhang Guyi, no distinction between black and white, do not know loyalty and treachery, you and other people in Xichuan are the thieves who help evil!! ”

Although Zhao Yun's voice was not loud, it made Zhang Ren's heart stir and anger surged. Zhang Ren shouted angrily, and immediately ordered Ma Chao to go beyond the horse to capture Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun drank sharply, and galloped to kill him. Zhang Ren also called Yan Yan and Li Yan to kill together and attack Zhao Yun. Seeing this, Liu Pi and Liang Xing immediately took up their weapons and killed them on horseback.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao fought, and Liu Pi and Liang Xing fought with Yan Yan and Li Yan respectively. There will be battles, each with its own battle situation. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are not comparable, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while. And Yan Yan and Li Yan's martial arts are stronger than Liu Pi and Liang Xing, and the two of them gradually can't resist. Seeing the situation, Zhang Ren slapped the horse and picked up a gun to kill Zhao Yun. Zhang Ren's horse was extremely fast, taking advantage of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's inseparability, a shot stabbed Zhao Yun in the throat, Zhao Yun quickly swung the gun to resist, Ma Chao shouted angrily and stabbed Zhao Yun in the door. Zhao Yun used a bullet to sweep away Ma Chao's gun and fight Zhang Ren and Ma Chao.

At this time, Liu Pi and Liang Xing couldn't stop Yan Yan and Li Yan's offensive, and turned their horses and retreated. Yan Yan and Li Yan abandoned the two, like two tigers and wolves, and also killed Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun saw that the situation was not good, so he fought hard, and retreated.

Zhang Ren hurriedly ordered the army to be killed. The Xichuan army shouted and killed in unison. The soldiers and horses in the northwest fled in a hurry and abandoned the camp; Horses and weapons were thrown all over the road. Xichuan soldiers and horses are all fighting for and picking up. Seeing the situation, Zhang Ren suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and at this time, Fa Zheng also rode his horse and admonished him.

"The Northwest Army has always been brave and fierce, and this time it fled without a fight, but I am afraid of fraud!"

Zhang Ren listened to what he said, and quickly called Jin to withdraw the army. Ma Chao, Yan Yan, and Li Yan were all angry, and they came to see Zhang Ren.

"A certain group is waiting to capture and kill the northwest soldiers and win a big victory, why did General Zhang withdraw his troops? Give up on this great opportunity!? ”

Zhang Ren frowned deeply, and said in a condensed voice.

"I saw that the soldiers and horses in the northwest were camped with water on their backs, and they were suspicious, so they abandoned their horses and weapons as bait to lure our army to pick them up, and they were suspicious. There are many doubts in this, and you must not be cautious, but you can quickly withdraw from the army and take your clothes! ”

After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he ordered to inform the army.
