Chapter Ninety-Eight: Taking Yangping Lightly (Seeking Collection)

Guo Jia said again: "I don't know what Yang Song's plan is?" ”

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Fengxiao, at this time, the Dingjun Mountain guard will be Yang Bai, who is Yang Song's mother and brother, you say, will he surrender to us......

Guo Jia said: "My lord, there are only 1,500 soldiers and horses in the Dingjun Mountain, and our army has more than 30,000 people, which is 20 times that of the enemy. Even if the mountain is dangerous and it is not easy to capture, as long as our regiment besieges and cuts off its food and water, its army will be chaotic in a few days, and if the Yang brothers have self-knowledge, they will gladly accept the kindness of our army! ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "I don't know what this Zhang Wei thinks, the troops are insufficient, and he has to divide the troops and put on such a horn posture, doesn't he know that there is a water gap between the two?" If our army attacks one of them, how can he save it? ”

"In my opinion, Yan Pu must have persuaded him, but with Zhang Weizhi's arbitrariness, I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to it, especially this kind of big thing, if the order changes overnight, doesn't it seem that he is mediocre?" Huang Zhongdao.

"Kill yourself!" Zhang Liao gave his opinion.

Liu Zhang thought about it, and felt that it was indeed as Zhang Liao said, although the water is not wide, it is also a big river, and the water flow is still quite rapid, if there is no boat, it is very difficult to easily wade through, so that the momentum of the enemy's horns in the two places cannot actually be formed, and it can be broken one by one.

"Wen Yuan, you take your troops to camp under the Dingjun Mountain, don't go to battle, you can monitor the enemy army, and then stop after Fengxiao's strategy has worked! If the enemy attacks, do not hesitate to annihilate it! ”

"The last general obeys!"

"It is necessary to strengthen the vigilance of water to prevent the enemy's tricks!"

"The last general understands!"

"Wenyuan is steady, I don't have to worry about doing things, let's go! Wen Ruo, you give Wen Yuan a batch of gold, silver and jewelry to buy the Yang brothers! ”

"Yes, my lord!" Xun Yu, the logistics director, responded.

"It's all gone, pay attention to strengthening vigilance!"

"Obey the order, and the last will retire!" The generals came out, and when they were young, Liu Zhang, Dian Wei and Xu Ding were left in the tent.

Xu Chu was sent to Qing Zhang Zhongjing, and the return date was still far away, and Xu Ding, who had already settled in Fu County, with the women and children of Shishoufeng and the villagers of Xujia Village, heard that Liu Zhang was going to expedition to Zhang Lu, so he came up and hoped to join the army. It happened that Liu Zhang left Zhou Cang and a thousand pro-army in Fuxian County, responsible for protecting the safety of his mother and three brothers, and only Dian Wei was available by his side, and the manpower was slightly insufficient, so Xu Ding also became a personal guard.

"Bo'an, are your sister-in-law and children okay?"

Xu Ding said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, all the clumsy Jing and the dog are safe!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "I didn't expect that when I first met Bo'an, it was your newlywed, goodbye, you are already a father, time flies so fast!" ”

Xu Dingdao: "If there is no lord to save him that day, I am afraid that our family, the whole village, will be harmed by traitors!" ”

"When the road is uneven, just draw a knife to help, by the way, what's the child's name? Zhong Kang, this guy left in a hurry this time, I'm afraid he hasn't seen his nephew yet, right? ”

"Because of the appearance of the lord that day, we must have escaped, so the subordinates discussed with the family and named the child Xu Zhong, the word Muen, so that he knew that he was bathed in the lord's grace, so that he could come into the world and be loyal to the lord forever when he grew up. Zhong Kang came and went, his subordinates didn't have time to meet him, he was afraid that he didn't know that he had become an uncle at this time! ”

"You must have suffered this time, when you defeat Zhang Lu, I will give you and Zhongkang a long vacation, and enjoy the joy of family!"

Xu Ding bowed: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Liu Zhang was stationed outside Yangping Pass for seven days, and the army had no intention of attacking, and practiced diligently every day. In order to strengthen the combat power of the 10,000 army under the initial command, Liu Zhang enriched Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Gao Shun, and Hua Xiong into it, and with these four people joining, Liu Zhang easily controlled this army of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Wei looked at the 30,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the "Second Ancestor" under the Guan, and did not dare to send troops to attack him, and was thinking about whether the other party had any tricks, so he heard that the Guan Shang frequently rumored that Yan Pu had the intention of rebellion, and had already met with Liu Zhang's envoy, and promised to take Zhang Wei at the right time and surrender to Cheng. Zhang Wei, who was thinking about what tricks the other party had, preconceived that Liu Zhang did not attack, but because he did not want to make a senseless sacrifice, so he conspired with Yan Pu to kill himself, so wouldn't he win without a fight? So he ignored Yan Pu's argument and sent him to prison (if it weren't for the intercession of the crowd for Yan Pu, according to his original intention, he would have hung his head and locked him up).

When Liu Zhang learned the news, he immediately summoned everyone to discuss. Almost at the same time, Zhang Liao at the foot of Dingjun Mountain also sent back good news, the Yang brothers, who had been cut off from the water supply, agreed to surrender under the coercion and temptation of being promised high-ranking officials, glory and wealth.

After a group of IQ-breaking strategists, it was decided to let the Yang brothers ask Zhang Wei for help, saying that the enemy had been besieging the mountain for a long time, and seeing that the defenders on the mountain had no intention of surrendering, they decided to transfer troops to cross the water, capture Dingjun Mountain, and break the horns. If Dingjun Mountain is captured, Yangping Pass is alone and defends itself, fearing that it is not the opponent of the enemy with superior forces, and hopes that Zhang Wei will take advantage of the enemy's crossing of the river to send troops to attack its rear road.

After Yan Pu was imprisoned, Yangping Pass was already Zhang Wei's Yiyantang, and after receiving Yang Bai's letter, he left the pass at night without consulting anyone, and ambushed beside the water, preparing to suddenly kill Liu Zhang's army when he crossed the river, and the enemy must have been caught off guard.

After the spies outside the gate found out that the defenders were 3,000 heading towards the water, they reported back to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang immediately instructed Zhang Liao, the command post and Yang Bai to deploy troops on the south bank of the river, and not to teach him to flee south. At the same time, he ordered Gao Shun and Zhang Fei to command more than 200 soldiers to disguise themselves as Zhang Wei's troops to defeat the troops, deceive Yangping Guancheng, and seize it. Xu Huang and Wei Yan took the opportunity to capture it.

The course of the battle, if the exercise is ordinary, is completely developed according to the script. When Gao Shun and Zhang Fei led more than 200 Yizhou troops who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor to Yangping Pass, Yan Zhang Wei was killed in ambush, and only they escaped from the encirclement. When the general heard of the defeat of the main general, he was so frightened that he completely forgot to verify the identity of the defeated army and ordered it to be released. As a result, the nightmare began at this time, the city gate had just opened, and this rout army suddenly turned into a tiger, and under the leadership of Gao Shun and Zhang Fei, two invincible fierce generals, they easily killed all the enemy troops at the city gate. Seeing this, the enemy general immediately sent an army to recapture the city gate, but at this time, the closed defenders were less than 1,000, even if they all arrived, the Yizhou army had Gao Shun and Zhang Fei two tiger generals sitting in the formation, and they didn't want to recapture the city gate in the short term.

As a result, when Xu Huang and Wei Yan led their troops to arrive, Gao Shun and Zhang Fei had already killed more than 300 enemy troops (the defenders were scattered very widely and could not arrive at the same time, which formed a refueling tactic, Gao Shun and Zhang Fei commanded calmly, eating a small bite by bite, and inadvertently, they actually solved a small half of the defenders, and their own side only suffered more than ten casualties.

When the enemy general saw the army entering the pass, he immediately stopped resisting, turned around and fled. I didn't want Huang Zhong to shoot a god, so he shot an arrow from a hundred zhang away, and it hit the vest. As soon as the enemy was about to die, the defenders no longer dared to hit the stone with an egg, and they surrendered on their knees.

After dawn, Liu Zhang passed through this Hanzhong barrier, and after condolences to the generals, he asked Yan Pu to be brought from prison.

Yan Pu already understood that Zhang Lu would be defeated after he was imprisoned, and he was innocently imprisoned for the Zhang brothers, which also made him disheartened with the Zhang brothers, so he made up his mind that once Liu Zhang conquered Yangping Pass, if he had his life, he would surrender. So, there was no need for Liu Zhang's persuasion to bow down as soon as they met.

Liu Zhang soothed a few words and asked, "How is Zhang Wei's movement now?" ”
