Chapter 32: The Confusion of the Cloth

When night fell, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a night.

The Zhao army's camp was very cleverly set up in a col in Fulong Mountain, although according to the art of war, such a place was somewhat dangerous, because if the enemy had the heart, he could attack from the top of the mountain.

However, Pang Cong was not afraid that the other party would do this, first, the altitude of this place was too high, even if he dropped a torch from the cliff, it would not have a big effect. Second, he is cautious by nature, and he will naturally be fully prepared for this kind of thing, such as any inspection, he will do it one by one.

Pang Cong was strict in governing the army and was well-known in the Zhao State. In the entire Zhao army, there are three people who have very high requirements for the army, one is Zhao Xi, one is Lian Wu, and the other is Pang Cong. Zhao Xi is a veteran of the battlefield, and he firmly believes that strict generals and strict soldiers can only win all battles if they lead their troops harshly. Lian Wu is a general, for the way of governing the army, it is said that in order to strictly enforce military discipline, he even did not let go of himself, and led by example. He was stationed in Fangcheng for three years, and he never returned to Handan without permission, and only went home to see it when he went back to Handan on business.

Pang Cong's strict management of the army is reflected in the stereotype. He was the first general to set up a military justice office in the Zhao army, and all the previous military justice offices were at the local level, that is, like Dai County, there was only one military law office. However, the General Law Department was first set up at the army level. At first, it caused a lot of criticism, but soon, Pang Cong used a new look of rigorous military appearance and tenacious fighting, and everyone was beaten with old faces.

Therefore, the spies of Zhongshan Kingdom lurking in the grass found that even though the Zhao ** people were drinking and having fun in the army in order to hunt so many prey today, there were still sober soldiers patrolling and standing guard, and they all remained in awe.

"Shall we go?" A slightly fatter Zhongshan soldier stabbed the thinner soldier next to him who was about to fall asleep and said.

The thin soldier quickly woke up, glanced at the Zhao army camp, and muttered, "Go back at this time, aren't you looking for death?" Is that one waiting for us to report back? ”

"It's so fucking unlucky, it's so late, we're hungry, and we have to stare at this place, we can stare at a fart. The people of Zhao are not iron-clad, can they still go up the mountain in the middle of the night to encircle and suppress us? ”

"Well, it's better to believe it than to believe it." The thin soldier was obviously not very happy to do this, and there was some resentment gathering in his heart.

"I said, let's just find a place to rest and rest, and come back tomorrow to keep an eye on. Staring here, I'm still worried about being discovered by Zhao Jun when I fall asleep! "The fat soldier obviously couldn't help it.

The thin soldier looked at him, and then at the quiet Zhao Jun camp, thinking that at this time, it was almost three watches, and Zhao Jun would not have any surprises, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded fiercely and said, "Go!" ”

Just as the brothers were about to leave, they saw that Zhao Jun's camp suddenly lit some torches, and the dotted tents were also full of people, and they cast their figures on the tents. Just when the two of them didn't know what was going on, a neat queue appeared on the empty playground, everyone was already dressed in armor, armed with weapons, and stood there with serious expressions.

The doubts of the two deepened? What does Zhao Jun want to do?

Without giving the two of them much time to think, Zhao Jun told the two spies the answer. I saw that from the big tent in the middle of the barracks, Pang Cong was already wearing a brand-new leather armor and Hu clothes, with a bronze knife hanging from his waist, and walked out wearing Hu boots. He stood still in front of everyone, inspecting the columns of soldiers standing in front of him, all full of energy and solemn expressions. He nodded with satisfaction, glanced up at the moonlight in the sky, and said softly but forcefully, "Let's go." ”

As he gave the order, the well-arranged ranks changed, and the soldiers behind quickly left the ranks and ran towards the stables of Zhao Jun. To the surprise of the two spies, for some reason, there was no sound in such a large-scale horse operation. Just when the two of them were puzzled, Pang Cong waved his hand, and the cavalry mounted their horses one after another and walked out of the camp gate in a neat queue. The two spies tried their best to lower their bodies, lest they be discovered. But fortunately, out of the need for night action, Zhao Jun did not blatantly shoot out the torches, and even the torches just now were extinguished.

The two spies followed the moonlight, and finally knew why the cavalry of the Zhao army had no sound, but what were they doing at such a late hour?

Fulong Mountain, Black Dragon Cave.

"You mean that the elite of the Zhao army left the camp overnight and went to the direction of the Great Wall?" The lieutenant stood in front of a few cases, contemplating the information sent by the spies, obviously, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Pang Onion.

"Yes, the two of us saw that there was a change in the camp of the Zhao army, so we hurriedly followed them, and found that Pang Cong had led the Zhao army through the pass and headed for the Great Wall. Although I don't know if the destination is there, there is no doubt that there must be no coach in the Zhao army camp. The two swore solemnly.

"Where's the grain and grass? What has changed in grain and grass? The lieutenant asked suddenly.

"It was so dark that they turned out the lights and could not see at all, but it was certain that there were wagons of grain coming out of the camp. Because we heard the sound of the wheels, but judging from the outside, it seemed that there was not much food and grass. ”

The lieutenant's fingers tapped on a few cases, but his mind kept analyzing the information of the two. Judging from the news sent by the two, Pang Cong played a ** note, pretending to drink and have fun during the day, numbing his attention, and then leaving the camp quietly by night. But except for the patrol soldiers who are still as usual outside, in fact, the Zhao army camp is already strong and strong, and there is nothing left. The purpose of this is probably to deter yourself from attacking the camp.

Is it really that simple?

"Captain, looking at it this way, Zhao Jun seems to have slipped away under our noses. They're not ready to settle us? ”

"It's not impossible." The lieutenant thought for a while and said, "Most of the Zhao army left, definitely hoping to make a show here, so that we could mistakenly think that they were still here, and the main force sneaked to the Great Wall to take it by surprise." And here, there is still a part of the grain and grass left behind, so that we can mistakenly think that this is his base camp and continue to attract our attention. ”

While analyzing, the lieutenant felt that the possibility was extremely high, "And doing so is the most time-saving for Pang Cong." Anyway, their purpose is to break through the defense line of the Great Wall, even if Fenglong Mountain can cut off its own retreat, it doesn't matter, after all, it is a lonely mountain, and it doesn't matter if it can't be attacked. ”

"Uh, is that so?"

"Absolutely!" The lieutenant clenched his fists sharply, both excited and nervous. Excitedly, he seemed to have guessed the mind of the other party's main general, and what was nervous was that if Pang Cong really did this, then the Great Wall would be dangerous, after all, no one knew the news that the main force of the Zhao army had advanced north. If Pang Cong uses tactics to trick open the city gate again, the gain outweighs the loss.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"They want to hide from the world, but don't blame me for taking advantage of the fire." The captain smiled coldly and said, "I'll borrow one of the grains from Zhao Jun first." Of course, I will thank them as well. I'll send the news out of their overnight trip north. When the time comes, I will let him walk around without eating! ”

On the second day, the lieutenant strengthened the manpower of the spies, on the one hand, to find out the reality of the Zhao camp, so as not to fall for Pang Cong's scheme, and on the other hand, to arrange manpower on the way north of the Zhao army, to make sure that the Zhao army had gone to the vicinity of the Great Wall, not to kill the carbines.

Finally, all the news pointed to the judgment of the captain, because the horse exploration who went to the Great Wall to deliver the letter reported that the main force of the Zhao army near the Great Wall, although the smoke and dust were full of smoke and dust, and the people and horses could not be seen clearly, but from the unfurled banner, it should be the main force of the Zhao army. Since Tanma got such news, he hurriedly arrived at the Great Wall Pass first, and rushed back immediately after the news was delivered, so that he could send this important information before midnight.

"Great, since that's the case, then at midnight today, this batch of Zhao Jun's grain, I will have to decide." The lieutenant said, a smile on his face.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

The camp of the Zhao army was as quiet as ever. For these two days, all the soldiers went out hunting in the morning and came back in the evening to drink and have fun, according to Pang Cong's instructions, and looked unscrupulous. But everyone knows that in fact, there are only two or three thousand people in the entire military camp, and they also have to guard all the grain, grass and equipment in the entire Zhao army camp.

Although the soldiers constantly warned themselves that this was acting, no one could help the wine, and sometimes they drank two more sips. However, they all know Pang Cong's methods, but all the soldiers who patrol and stand guard must not drink alcohol. What's more, before Pang Cong left, these people all made a military order, and they must ensure that the grain and grass are not robbed.

In this way, Zhao Jun, who is divided into two parts, the actor group and the working group, is so conscientious in carrying out his tasks. Of course, they don't want to be any actors, but they also know that as long as the other party knows the truth about their side, they will soon attack the camp. That's when you test yourself the most.

As soon as the third watch passed, Zhao Jun felt that the atmosphere around him was a little weird, especially the insects that were still not chirping just now, they all seemed to have carefully hidden their whereabouts, or disappeared in an instant. The wind, which seemed to be a little cold, was much colder than usual. The campfires erected in the camp did not seem to illuminate the surroundings, not even the dirt slopes not far away.

Just when everyone felt that something was wrong, suddenly a spark was ignited from the dirt slope, and the soldiers' hearts immediately rose to their throats, and some of the recruits and rookies were still holding weapons, wanting to see what it was, but they saw the flames coming from the sky, with whistling screams and igniting flames, like a rain of fire, falling from the sky!
