Chapter 515: Attacking Wuchang Mansion
Two days after Shi Lang led his army to continue to advance westward, Fang Yuan led his army to garrison Wuchang Port, neither attacking Wuchang City, but only building fortifications.
The red lady who stayed in the barracks saw that Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to attack, and noticed that the Xuanjia Army's sailors were missing, so she hurriedly found Fang Yuan and asked, "Fang Yuan, the Xuanjia Army's sailors didn't stay in Wuchang to support the land battle, where did they go?!" When are we going to attack the breaking army of Wuchang City?! ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you immediately go to Li Gongzi's military camp and order them to rebel and attack Wuchang City with our army!" ”
Seeing Fang Yuan, the red lady suddenly changed her battle plan, and what had been agreed before was that the Xuanjia army would attack Wuchang City, while her own soldiers would attack the barracks of the intruding army outside the city.
Li Zicheng and Li Yan had already set up an ambush in the city, and once Fang Yuan attacked Wuchang City, he would be ambushed. Li Yan's 30,000 personal soldiers recaptured Wuchang Port, cut off Fang Yuan's way back, and completely annihilated the invading Xuanjia army. If it is possible, it will hit the Xuanjia Army Naval Division that stopped at Wuchang Port.
Her face suddenly changed drastically, "Fang Yuan, you, you?!" ”
When Fang Yuan saw that she didn't want to send troops to attack Wuchang City, but waited for him to move first, he was already sure in his heart that there must be a conspiracy in it.
Fang Yuan didn't want to continue acting with her, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, your and Li Gongzi's plan is nothing more than to lure me to Wuchang Mansion and invite you into the urn!" ”
The red lady's face has changed greatly, she is from a reckless background and is not good at fraud. Now that Fang Yuan had broken the conspiracy on the spot, she was caught off guard, and she didn't know how to deal with it, and said hesitantly, "Fang Yuan, you have already seen through it?!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I have been crawling from the bottom to today, what treacherous person has never seen it?" What tricks haven't you encountered? Li Gongzi's childish plan to hide from my eyes, isn't it whimsical?! ”
The red lady said in a lost voice, "Then, why do you still want to lead the army to Wuchang?!" ”
Fang Yuan stared at the red lady and said word by word, "Tiger wolf, how can you be afraid of the ambush of the sheep?" Big joke! ”
"Shi Lang's sailor has gone to attack the Chuang army sailor in Hanyang Harbor; There is also even bigger news to tell my sister-in-law, Zhang Ying has led 10,000 special combat troops to land from Ezhou Port and go to attack Jiangxia City, where the army is hoarding grain and grass! ”
Seeing that Fang Yuan saw the treacherous plan this time, the red lady was humiliating herself, and she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, staring at Fang Yuan and saying, "You are the real traitor, you only know how to play conspiracy!" ”
Fang Yuan laughed and said, "It's King Chuang, Li Gongzi is playing conspiracy first!" Now that we have come to Wuchang, if King Chuang and Li Gongzi are the ones who lead the handle, they will come out to fight openly! ”
The red lady almost wanted to use her hands to arrest Fang Yuan, but the Jinyi guard had already taken precautions, and more than ten guns were aimed at her, as long as there was a slight movement, she would immediately be beaten into a hornet's nest.
She shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Fang Yuan, are you going to take me hostage?!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "No, no, I'll let my sister-in-law go back to Li Gongzi's barracks." ”
The red lady looked at him incredulously, almost unable to believe her ears, and asked rhetorically, "Fang Yuan, did you really let me go?!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law can leave at any time." ”
The red lady was still suspicious, thinking that Fang Yuan was playing some trick, until she left the barracks and left Wuchang Port, and she didn't see Fang Yuan's chasing soldiers coming, so she believed that Fang Yuan really let people go, and hurriedly rushed to Li Yan's military camp in the east of Wuchang City.
After the Red Lady left, Hu Qi saw that Fang Yuan easily let go of such an important hostage, and couldn't help asking, "Regent, the Red Lady is the commander of the 30,000 personal soldiers, why do you want to let her go?!" ”
Fang Yuan, who was looking at the topographic map of Wuchang Mansion and the city defense map, looked up at him, and his eyes fell on the map again, "Commander Hu, if you are Li Zicheng, what will you think when you see that we suddenly saw through the treacherous plan and sent troops to destroy the sailors of Hanyang Port and burn the military rations of Jiangxia?!" ”
Hu Qi said hesitantly, "I will wonder why the regent has seen through this scheme, whether there is a traitor." ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "If you learn that such an important hostage, the Red Lady, has returned to Li Yan's military camp, then who do you think this traitor is?!" ”
Hu Qi suddenly said, "That must be Li Yan!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled faintly and said slowly, "That's right!" This is the essence of this discord meter. People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and they go to Li Zicheng and Li Yan for no reason, Li Zicheng is a hero in the world, and he has not suffered any losses, how can he be easily fooled and cut off his arm? Before Li Yan caused substantial damage to the intruding army, Li Zicheng would only estranged himself from Li Yan and would not severely punish Li Yan. ”
And now, as long as Li Zicheng is beaten, not only losing the water division, but also losing the military rations, Li Zicheng will be annoyed and angry, and he will lose his mind. In a state of rage, all kinds of suspicions and estrangements between people and Li Yan before will be infinitely magnified. Coupled with the strong troops of our army, the red lady who should have been imprisoned suddenly returned to the barracks, at this critical juncture, Li Zicheng made a wrong choice in a hurry, understand? ! ”
"In other words, this is forcing Li Zicheng to play fast chess with us, as long as it is fast enough and hasty enough, Li Zicheng will make a mistake and lose the whole game."
Hu Qi asked, "Regent, what if Li Zicheng doesn't take the bait?!" ”
Fang Yuan said lightly, "Li Zicheng won't take the bait, and when Shi Lang destroys Li Zicheng's sailors and Zhang Ying burns the military rations, we will return along the same road." ”
Fang Yuan's words have already pondered human nature thoroughly, and the strategy formulated is more than advanced.
With a small broad, the big deal is that if you lose, you will be tired of traveling, and you will return again, and you will lose nothing. If it wins, then it is a high probability event that Wuchang Mansion falls into the hands of the Xuanjia Army.
This kind of gambling will be a fool's gamble!
After a night of rapid travel, the red lady finally returned to Li Yan's military camp.
Li Yan was studying the terrain in the barracks, as well as the military report from the front, when he suddenly saw the red lady returning, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Lady, you, are you back?!" ”
The red lady sat on the chair, after a night of running, she was already tired, and drank two large bowls of water before she spoke, "Yes, I was really tired from rushing back to the barracks from Wuchang Port overnight!" ”
Li Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "The lady came back from Wuchang Port?" Did you sneak back on your own, or did Fang Yuan let you come back? ”
The red lady took a few breaths, and then said in amazement, "It's also weird, obviously we calculated Fang Yuan first, he saw through our tricks, not only did not detain me, but also let me go back to the barracks, what kind of medicine did he sell in his gourd?!" ”
Li Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and almost sat down on the chair. Since Fang Yuan saw through the trick, he still led the army to Wuchang Mansion, and suddenly put back the red lady, which shows that there must be a plan.
After a little thought, Li Yan saw through Fang Yuan's plot and shouted, "Everything is over!" Where is Fang Yuan coming back from Fang Niangzi, it is clearly dividing the relationship between me and King Chuang, this trick is simply very vicious! ”
The red lady thought that Fang Yuan was going to kill her before, or at least detain her, but Fang Yuan let her go happily, she was grateful this night.
The red lady was born in a reckless manner, and she was a smug woman, and said unhappily, "Husband, this is wrong with you!" No matter what, Fang Yuan also let me go and returned safely, how could I be ruthless?! If you let me go, I will release hatred, and you will detain me, and even cut off my sacrificial flag, is it a good person with a good heart?! ”
Seeing that she didn't know why, Li Yan sighed and said, "Lady, you are really a woman's opinion this time." If your return to the barracks is known to King Chuang and Niu Venus, it will be over! ”
The red lady glared at him fiercely and said, "Yes, I am a woman's opinion, and you are a hero's opinion." But I also know that Fang Yuan not only repeatedly solicited us, gave us big gifts, and promised us high-ranking officials, but also sincerely wanted to recruit her husband. Even after we calculated him, we were willing to let me go back to the barracks safely. I am a woman's opinion, but I also know who is good and who is evil, and I seek advantage and avoid harm! ”
She glared at Li Yan and said, "And you, but you think that Fang Yuan, who has always treated us politely, is a great traitor, and the king of the embankment and suspicion of us is the master." doesn't even distinguish between basic right and wrong, good and evil, what kind of hero's opinion is it?! I think it's bullshit! ”
Li Yan was scolded by her, but he was speechless. A three-year-old child, women know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but he is a calculating and kind Fang Yuan, and he sticks to the cold ass of King Chuang, isn't it even as good as a woman and a three-year-old child?!
Li Yan was silent for a while, since the red lady had already returned, he couldn't send her back to Fang Yuan! You can't tie her up to show loyalty to King Chuang! You can only take one step at a time.
Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Lady, you're tired too, go back and rest!" ”
