Chapter 291: The Gamble Revealed

Fang Yuan's military plan to attack Jinhua Mansion this time was indeed a two-way march.

All the way is the main force of Chigutai leading 20,000 Xuanjia troops from Hangzhou to the south; All the way, Fang Yuan led a combination of 2,000 veterans and 3,000 recruits, and went south from Shaoxing Mansion to make a feint.

When Chigutai led the army to the expedition, Fang Yuan also led the army to set off along the way, and when he arrived at Huiji Mountain in the south of Shaoxing Prefecture, he suddenly claimed that he had a cold wind and could not move forward, and 5,000 sergeants camped in Huiji Mountain to rest and camp in the mountain.

Huiji Mountain is the land of the princes of the Yu Alliance, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is also the location of the capital of the Yue Kingdom. The terrain of Huiji Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, because the Yue country once built its capital here, and the transportation in the mountain is even more convenient.

This Huiji Mountain is the battlefield where Fang Yuan predetermined the decisive battle with the Zheng army, and it is also the final place for the 40,000 Zheng troops who went north.

The military plan that Gan Hui transmitted to the Zheng family before was a smoke bomb, and Fang Yuan's real military plan was to use his lone army as a bait to lure the Zheng army out of the mountains and hills of Jinhua and Shaoxing. to the northern Zhejiang area, which is more conducive to the cavalry attack, and fight a decisive battle with Zheng Bing.

Chigutai did start from Hangzhou Mansion all the way, but the target was not Jinhua Mansion, but first southward and then eastward, after the Zheng army and Fang Yuan's lone army started a battle, they raided from behind the Zheng army, completely giving the Zheng army a break.

At the foot of Huiji Mountain, Fang Yuan divided the army of 5,000 people into two groups, and the recruits went up the mountain to build fortifications and undertook the task of building; The veterans camped at the foot of the mountain, which was the main force of the defensive battle.

Gan Hui saw that the Xuanjia army was camped at the foot of the mountain, and there were even teams of sergeants going to the mountains, he felt very abnormal, and his suspicions arose, could it be that Fang Yuan was pretending to be sick, not going to conquer Jinhua Mansion?

Gan Hui entered the Chinese military camp, saluted Fang Yuan respectfully, and looked up to observe Fang Yuan's face.

Fang Yuan wanted to make Gan Hui suspicious, and he was pretending to be sick on the bed, coughing constantly. I have to do a full set of plays, and my whole body is already tightly wrapped, and my face is red, and I know that it is hot air invading my body when I look at it. Of course, as soon as the summer heat subsided in autumn, he deliberately wrapped several layers of thick animal skins, and it was strange that he was sweating profusely without being hot.

Hu Qi arranged ten brocade guards, in the big camp, and fifty people, waiting outside the barracks, as long as Gan Hui made the slightest move, he would immediately come forward to get people.

Gan Hui looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything abnormal, and his suspicion disappeared slightly, "Governor Fang, how long are we going to camp in Huiji Mountain?" ”

Fang Yuan pretended to cough a few times, lowered his gaze and said, "I'll go out when my typhoid fever heals a little." ”

Gan Hui asked again, "Since you stopped for a while, why did a large number of sergeants go up the mountain?" ”

Fang Yuan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "There is a Fengzen platform of Dayu on the mountain, I am ready to go to the sacrifice when my illness recovers a little, may the heavens bless my Xuanjia Army to break the Zheng army, and those sergeants are going to prepare for the sacrifice ceremony." ”

Gan Hui listened to his suspicions and went to three points, Fang Yuan's explanation was reasonable, although he did not have all his suspicions, but at this moment, Zheng Jun should have already poured north, if there was no conclusive evidence to prove Fang Yuan's fraud, he could not change such a major military plan on the spot just by guessing.

Three days later, the Zheng army, which had gone north in a desperate gamble, finally arrived at Huiji Mountain, and the Xuanjia army had already been in full battle, arranging three fortifications at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside to resist the attack of the Zheng army.

As soon as Zheng Sen's army arrived, he saw that the Xuanjia army had already prepared, and even relied on the terrain advantage to camp and defend it, which was also beyond his expectations.

Zheng Sen first ordered the three armies to set up camp, he, Zhou Quanbin, and Feng Xin were divided into left, center, and right, and ordered the whole army to rest for a day and attack the Xuanjia Army with all their might.

Early the next morning, the first wave of the Zheng army's offensive finally began!

Fang Yuan, Hu Qi, and Gan Hui and his party are on the Fengzen platform on the mountainside, where you can have an unobstructed view of the battle situation under the mountain. There were also a hundred brocade guards on the left and right to guard Fang Yuan's safety.

Gan Hui and his relatives had already contacted each other privately, and once the Zheng army's offensive was launched, they secretly assembled and launched the beheading operation of the other party. There were only 100 Jinyi guards guarding Fang Yuan, and as long as they attacked suddenly, they were at least seventy percent sure that Fang Yuan would be killed and beheaded.

The Zheng army's battle lasted from early morning to noon on the second day, launching wave after wave of offensives, and only captured the Xuanjia army's barracks at the foot of the mountain. The lost Xuanjia army retreated to the second fortification on the mountainside.

In this day, Gan Hui wanted to make an impulsive move to the other party several times, but he couldn't find an opportunity, so he could only quietly wait for the best time.

At noon the next day, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the northwest direction, hanging the banner of the Xuanjia Army.

As soon as this powerful Xuanjia iron cavalry arrived on the battlefield, it immediately launched an assault on the Zheng army that was attacking the mountain.

Fang Yuan knew as soon as he saw that it was the main force of Chigutai who had arrived, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chigutai can arrive in time, the overall situation of the battle has been decided, and the Zheng army under the mountain is undoubtedly defeated, and the only thing Fang Yuan has to do is to clean up the eyeliner of this deceitful surrender around him-Gan Hui.

Gan Hui was stunned when he saw the divine soldiers of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry descending from the sky, the main force of the Xuanjia Army that was supposed to attack Jinhua Mansion actually appeared at the foot of Huiji Mountain, Gan Hui also knew that he had fallen for Fang Yuan's trick.

The battle situation changed abruptly, and his hand also held the hilt of the saber, and immediately ordered his henchmen to transmit a signal to the contact soldiers, and immediately rushed to Fengchantai to launch an offensive and attack Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't seem to be aware of Gan Hui's movements, his eyes were still staring at the battle situation under the mountain, applauding and cheering from time to time.

"The right battalion of the Zheng army has been breached, and that Feng Xin has the name of a tiger general, and he is not worthy of the name! Far worse than Liu Guoxuan. ”

"Zheng Jun's Chinese military camp has also been breached, and it is best if Chigutai can capture Zheng Sen alive."

Gan Hui listened to Fang Yuan's comments on the battle situation, and quietly waited for his soldiers to arrive, and immediately attacked. But he waited for nearly an hour, but none of his soldiers were seen, and even the cronies sent to deliver the message did not return.

Just as Gan Hui was hesitating whether to wait for those sergeants and take matters into his own hands, Fang Yuan suddenly turned around and smiled at him, "Commander Gan, come and talk to me." ”

Gan Hui pinched the hilt of the knife in his hand, hesitated and stepped forward to Fang Yuan's side, and asked, "Governor Fang, all this was arranged by you and set a trap for the Zheng family?" ”

Hu Qi, who was in charge of Fang Yuan's guards, and thirty brocade guards stared at Gan Hui's every move, and even behind the mountainside, there were fifty brocade guards in ambush, and at least twenty Xuanjia Divine Guns had been aimed at Gan Hui. If he dared to do so, he would shoot him immediately.

Fang Yuan glanced at his hand holding the hilt of the knife, and said with a smile, "This battle fully proves that Zheng Jun is a fight between sheep and tigers and wolves in front of my Xuanjia Army, and it is just looking for death." ”

Gan Hui almost wanted to draw his knife and cut it, but before his own soldiers arrived, he started fighting single-handedly, and the heroes couldn't stand the crowd, and the chance of success was almost zero.

Fang Yuan saw that Gan Hui was about to move, and he was still thinking about fighting for his life, and he was secretly praying in his heart, Gan Hui must not draw his knife, as long as the knife was out of the sheath, the ambushed Jinyi guard would fire a hundred guns and beat him into a hornet's nest.

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Commander Gan won't be waiting for your own soldiers!" Commander Nagan will really be disappointed, they have already been taken by me, and they will not be able to wait for another three days and three nights. ”

Gan Hui was shocked, and then he came to his senses, the so-called deception and beheading were a complete farce, and everything was already under Fang Yuan's control. He also used him to pass false information to the Zheng family, and introduced all the main forces of the Zheng family into the trap of Huiji Mountain.

He was angry and anxious, trembling all over, tens of thousands of Zheng Jun's lives were all lost in his hands, what kind of face did he have to go back to Fujian to see his hometown fathers?

Fang Yuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and continued to persuade, "It was not Commander Gan who killed tens of thousands of Zheng Jun's lives, but Zheng Sen!" Zheng Sen seems to be young and brave, and he is far from a famous general. If you win, you get carried away, and if you lose, you lose out of control, but you are just a gambler who loses red-eyed. Commander Gan, this gambler who used the lives of 40,000 soldiers as gambling chips, this commander who disregarded the life and death of his subordinates, is really worthy of your life's allegiance? ”

Gan Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head, this time he lost all the wits and courage with Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan reused him regardless of his previous suspicions, but he bit back, and now that he has seen through the treacherous scheme, what kind of face do he have to pull out a knife and cut people, and bring humiliation on himself!

He rushed forward violently, and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff from the Fengzen platform.

Hu Qi and the other Jinyi guards were already on guard, and immediately rushed up, pressed him under him, and escorted him to Fang Yuan again.

Fang Yuan ordered Jinyiwei to let go of him, sat side by side with him on the Fengzen platform, pointed to the Xuanjia army that was chasing the defeated army of the Zheng army at the foot of the mountain and said, "Commander Gan, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he should lead the most powerful army to conquer the world, so as to live up to what he has learned in his life." Crying and committing suicide at every turn, what is the difference between crying and making trouble and hanging yourself? ”

Gan Hui shook his head and said, "The general of the defeated army, it is a great luck not to die, and you are still talking about conquering the world?!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Commander Gan, Shi Lang, who is known as the Four Tiger Generals of the Zheng Family along with you, I have been promoted to the Commander of the Water Division. Now, the infantry battalion of the Xuanjia Army still lacks a commander who can fight well, if the commander is willing to surrender sincerely, you are the commander of the infantry battalion. ”

Gan Hui turned his head sideways, looked at Fang Yuan incredulously and said, "Governor Fang, the so-called once disloyal, a hundred times not to use, are you still willing to reuse me?" ”

"But you'd rather kill yourself than draw your sword!"

Fang Yuan took out the newly made infantry battalion commander token in his arms and handed it directly to Gan Hui's hands, "I've been ready for Gan Commander for a long time, don't be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, go on!" ”

Gan Hui was grateful for his magnanimity, took the token with trembling hands, and knelt deeply on the ground at him, "Governor Fang's kindness, the sin can only be repaid desperately." ”

Fang Yuan looked at Gan Hui's kneeling back and smiled slightly.

This time, Gan Hui really surrendered!
