Chapter Ninety-Two: Poison Bait
At the north gate of Shouchang, about ten steps on one side of the gate city, there is a barrier wall piled up by bricks, tiles and wooden boards, Xu Shao, who is wearing armor, leans against the wall and gasps for breath, there are many corpses lying in front of the barrier wall, some are soldiers dressed and more are in civilian clothes, and the bloodstains in the door hole are also full of corpses.
The man in civilian clothes was a thief who attacked the city gate, and the guards were about to close the city gate when they were suddenly attacked by this group, and the scene was chaotic after the two sides started hand-to-hand combat, and a cavalry rushed outside the city to seize the door.
When the situation was urgent, Xu Shao, the son of Yuezhou's assassin history, led his men and horses to arrive, and he gave his pawns to the city gate to reinforce on the other, and on the other hand, he asked people to pile up obstacles ten steps away from the city gate to prevent the cavalry from rushing into the city.
"Lang Jun, that thief doesn't dare to enter the city." One of the generals looked outside the city gate and said, dozens of cavalry in the wilderness outside the city were turning around and leaving, just a dozen of them rushed through the city gate, but they were blocked in front of this temporary low wall, and they gave up entering the city when they saw that reinforcements had arrived.
Xu Shaofang took the lead in meeting and slashing a few thieves who tried to climb over the obstacles, and now he was a little out of strength, he signaled the generals to lead people to clean up the corpses at the door hole and then close the city gate, only when the city gate was latched can he really rest assured.
Hao Wubo stood aside with a bow and looked excitedly at the direction of the city gate, he led his own guards to follow Xu Shao all the way to rush just in time for the fierce battle, although he was not called an archer, but he also shot several people, especially just now rode a horse through the city gate and wanted to jump over the obstacle of a cavalry was seen by him, an arrow hit the horse's eye, and then the horse stumbled and threw down, and was finally hacked to death by a knife.
"Heizong, you're a good idea!" He looked at the improvised wall of barriers and praised the foul-hearted cavalry outside the gates when they failed to close.
Xu Shao smiled and didn't reply. Just now, he led the guards in the mansion with his father to kill the attacking thieves, and then rushed to the north gate with the assistance of Hao Wubo. After a series of fierce battles, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally excited mood also fell, and a sense of tiredness welled up in my heart.
The idea didn't come up with it on the spur of the moment, but someone came up early on. It was an idea that Yu Wenwen put forward at the "My Views on City Sneak Attack and Counter Sneak Attack" discussion when he was still in Gangneung, and this idea was a little ridiculous at the time, but now it has proved to be effective.
With the sound of creaking, the door slowly closed, and the corpse that had been blocking the ground had been dragged away, so there was nothing to hinder the door from closing, and the group of people breathed a sigh of relief when the door latch was placed.
Xu Shao led people to the head of the city, and when he raised his eyes, he saw dozens of cavalry galloping in the southwest direction in the distance, and there was a drum behind him, which was a signal that the city gates were closed, Xu Shao ordered people to beat the drums to let his father know that the north gate was closed.
"What are they going to do?" Hao Wubo watched the movement of these cavalry, and as soon as he finished speaking, he came back to his senses: the west is the direction to Anlu. It seems that the other party is going to intercept the people sent by the city to report the news.
Xu Shao looked at the direction of Anlu to the west and frowned, now Xiaochang City is safe, but what to do next, since Shoutian Kai of Pengyue County brought someone to assassinate his father, there is no doubt that Pengyue County has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so there is a doubt whether Baiyan Pass in the north of Pengyue County is still under the control of Anzhou.
The defense master of Baiyan Pass is the confidant of Yuezhou Assassin Shi, so it is unlikely that he himself will rebel, but this time the other party seems to have been planning for a long time, so it is unknown whether Baiyan Pass will be attacked or mutiny.
"If Baiyan Pass is lost, then Yuezhou will not be at peace," Xu Shao muttered as he looked outside the city......
Wuyang Pass, the soldiers of the brigade on the mountain road in front of the pass are advancing, Sima Wei Chishun, the governor of Anzhou, walked in the team thoughtfully, a few days ago he led the army to stay behind the palace until the people of Pingyang moved south into the mountain road before retreating, and it didn't take long for the cavalry of the Yuzhou army to rush to the city of Pingyang.
Pingyang City has been burned, leaving the Yuzhou army with nothing but ruins, from planning the attack on Pingyang to taking the city at night and moving the people, until now the whole army has safely withdrawn into the mountains, everything is so smooth. It went so smoothly that it was a little unsettling.
Looking back on the whole process, Wei Chishun seemed to have caught something and wanted to think about it but couldn't figure it out. All the problems that can be thought of when the troops are sent out to attack have been considered and analyzed, so there should be no hidden dangers.
"Sima, this battle is going well, but your brows are tight, but what doubts do you have?" A general asked, Wei Chishun thought about it and asked where the people of Pingyang who had moved south were now, and the other party said that they had arrived in Yingzhou safely after hearing the messenger's message.
Yingzhou Prefecture Yongyang City is the garrison of the Anzhou East Route Army, but also the assembly place of grain and grass transshipment, Wei Chishun attacked Pingyang this time, and the first place to settle the people south was Yongyang, in order to prevent him from Yongyang, he laid heavy troops in Yongyang, one to guard the people of Pingyang, and the other was to protect the grain and grass, tens of thousands of troops were scattered in Wuyang Pass, Pingjing Pass, and the daily consumption of grain and grass was very considerable, so Yongyang could not afford to lose.
"Yongyang Mountain Road People" Wei Chi Shun chattered, and suddenly he remembered an incident more than 20 years ago: that year, the Southern Dynasty Liang civil strife, Xiao Ji, who occupied Shu land, claimed the emperor in Yizhou, and then attacked Jiangling, the new capital of Liang State, along the river, and his father Wei Chi Hui was ordered to lead the troops from Guanzhong to attack Yizhou, and he also went with him.
Shu road difficult to travel army divided into a part of the old road of Pinglin unexpectedly bypassed the Liang army pass, at that time he remembered that his father ordered this elite soldiers to put on civilian clothes to go over the mountain, on the way to meet the mountain people did not think that this is the enemy army, to be safe to bypass the pass after this elite soldier directly attacked Tongzhou, at that time the guard of Tongzhou thought that it was the main force of the enemy army arrived frightened and surrendered directly without resistance.
'Impossible, there are many defenders of Yongyang, and it is impossible for the other party to do it. Wei Chishun thought of a possibility, but he still denied it, he couldn't make this kind of mistake, so even if someone mixed in with the people of Pingyang and came to Yongyang City, he couldn't make a big wave.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of another place: An Lu. Take Wuyangguan this way out of the mountain, if you go south through Yuezhou, and then go west to Anlu, the road is about 140 miles, if you go out of the mountain to the west to Yingzhou, and then turn south to Anlu, that is 120 miles.
It should be no problem for Anlu to have the chief steward Shi Zhenshou, and besides, didn't the suspicious son-in-law also lead the army back to Anlu, this kid made a good mansion heavily guarded before, like a thief, and he would also be concerned about the city defense.
Wei Chishun thought about it, but he didn't think of any problems, so he simply turned back to his senses. When he thinks of his son-in-law, he then thinks of his daughter. Count the days, the daughter should be born, and it is not whether it is a man or a woman. The son-in-law Xinna's concubine robbed Mr. of a son, which made the daughter anxious in the past few months.
Walk all the way and want to come to the Wuyang Pass not far away, there are soldiers in front of the pass on this mountain road are urging the young and strong to repair, here the east side of the mountain road is a steep wall and the west side is a steep slope, a few days of the brigade passing by, resulting in some collapse on the west side of the road, so in order to avoid further collapse, it needs to be repaired in time.
Because the people of Pingyang had passed through the pass before, the defenders requisitioned some young and strong men who had no problems with their families, and they would let them go south to reunite with their families after they had completed the road.
In order to prevent the horses from suddenly being frightened and falling down the slope on the mountain road, the generals did not ride horses but on foot, and when they passed the construction site, everyone leaned against the side of the steep wall. I'm going to find Sima to complain! ”
Seeing this, the soldiers who oversaw the work scolded when they had abused you, Wei Chishun frowned when he heard this, and stopped, he had repeatedly ordered that soldiers were not allowed to abuse the people and that the young man who was conscripted to serve in the army did not expect to encounter the 'evil deeds' on the spot, and the generals who followed behind him stepped forward to stop the conflict and turned to Wei Chishun's direction and said: "What is the trouble, Sima is here, you are bold, aren't you!" ”
His original intention was to let the soldiers know that the chief steward Sima was beside him, but as soon as the words fell, the few troublesome young men suddenly rushed towards Wei Chishun, and suddenly many people couldn't react, and the guards who followed Wei Chishun reacted quickly and blocked in front of them, and several young men jumped to the side of the steep slope regardless of the people who were in the way.
In an instant, the guards who protected Wei Chishun were cleared, and the remaining two young men pounced directly on him regardless of his knife and slashing, one of his head was cut in half, and the other person did not avoid the blade, hugged his waist, and then rolled towards the curb, everyone couldn't stop it, and watched Yu Chishun be held by that person and roll down the steep slope like this......
Binh Duong City. A piece of ruins and broken tiles, Sima Huangfuji, the governor of Yuzhou, was quite heartbroken in the face of the devastation. A general came to him and told him that ninety percent of the houses in the city had been destroyed and that all the gates had been burned down.
"The hands and feet of the Anzhou traitor are neat, not to mention that people are not even a cat left." The other general couldn't help but sneer.
"There are nearly 10,000 people in more than 2,000 households in Pingyang City, and the traitors are afraid that they will be happy at this time." After speaking, Huang Fuji looked back at the direction of Tongbai Mountain, and smiled slightly after a while: "As the so-called happiness gives birth to sorrow, I want to see how you regret it!" ”
Huang Fuji sent an envoy to An Lu in July last year to make peace with Yu Wenliang on behalf of the imperial court, and after the two sides shook hands, they bought precious months for the imperial court, and Huang Fuji was also promoted, because Wei Chi Yuan's pseudo-Zhou has been threatening the Bozhou Governor's Office, so he was later transferred to serve there by Prime Minister Yang Jian.
Unexpectedly, on the way to the post, the situation in the Bozhou Governor's Office deteriorated, and most of the prefectures and counties were lost, so his post was cancelled, and later transferred to the Yuzhou Governor's Sima, and the war rekindled in June this year, and Anzhou became a confidant of the Yuzhou Governor's Office.
Bozhou in the east of Yuzhou has fallen into the hands of the puppet Zhou, the army of Wei Chidun is entrenched in the north, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion in the west is swept by the Anzhou army, and the Anzhou army in the south is like a dagger against the belly of Yuzhou.
Yuzhou was attacked from all sides, with the east and south to defend, Luoyang in the north and Jingzhou in the west to support, because the partial division led by Wei Chishun was eyeing the south, so that Yuzhou's troop deployment was greatly restricted.
If you attack in the south, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the terrain of Yiyang Sanguan is dangerous, and it is difficult to capture in a hurry, and you can't attack and arrange troops to defend, so it takes more than a month, in order to solve this problem, Huang Fuji came up with a plan: to capture the old indulgence.
Use Pingyang as a bait for the other party to swallow, this is a poisonous bait, and the so-called poison is the soldiers mixed in the people, if the Anzhou army takes Pingyang City, it will definitely not be able to hold it, so it is almost inevitable to set fire to the city and coerce the people to move south, and those soldiers who are mixed in the people can take the opportunity to enter the territory of Anzhou.
Things went well, the selected soldiers blended in with the people in advance, and in the face of the flaws deliberately exposed by their own side, the Anzhou army couldn't hold back a bite and swallowed it.
"Since you have such a good appetite and swallow the poison bait, then wait for the intestines to rot with peace of mind!" (To be continued.) )
