Chapter 210: The Beginning of Success
"It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is only one trail that can be walked on Quezui Mountain, but if a horse strikes across the country, it must pass through this place! And what's even more rare is that you can also observe the actions of Zhang Liaojun's cottage there, but in case, you can also compete with most of my soldiers and horses and respond to each other! Fan Chou spoke sharply, but it turned out that he had already made a plan. When Huo Tai heard this, he was full of admiration, and he was busy receiving orders, so he and a few soldiers under his command withdrew from the tent and commanded the army.
On the other side, in the cottage, Zhang Liao was also discussing with the generals. I saw that the generals in the village had their own words, and most of them had anxiety and panic on their faces. As the head of the first army, Zhang Liao has been watching coldly and expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Gao Ran knew that if this continued, everyone thought that Zhang Liao was helpless, and the army's heart would definitely be even more chaotic, so he stood up and said, "General Zhang! Although the rumors spread by the Xiliang thieves must be exaggerated, they are not afraid of 10,000, but if the Xiliang army everywhere kills one after another, I am afraid that we will all be buried in this mountain! ”
Zhang Liao was obedient, and the expression on his face gradually changed, and his eyes shot out two fine lights, and shouted: "The eldest husband stands up to the sky, even if the knife is on his neck, he can't mess around, let alone lose his backbone!" The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if the 100,000 Xiliang army kills, I, Zhang Wenyuan, can kill them to the ground!! ”
Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and it was like exploding in people's hearts, everyone did not change color, if others dared to say such big words, everyone would definitely disdain them, and even insult them, but these words came out of Zhang Liao's mouth, and then looked at his brave and fearless attitude, although he felt unbelievable, but his eyes still rose with a scorching brilliance!
"Besides, why do you have to mess with yourself? For example, if the princes everywhere want to raise troops to fight against Dong Jackal, even if Dong Jackal Tiger has the heart to gather heavy troops to fight, I am afraid that he will be powerless! The enemy's little tricks of carving insects have made you so anxious, what kind of system! Zhang Liao's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone woke up after hearing it, and then couldn't help lowering their heads in shame and reflecting secretly.
"However, I waited for these generals to be reminded by the general, or they might be able to see the depths clearly. However, there are many new recruits in the army, but they are afraid that if they do not have this ability, if the army's heart is unstable, it will change sooner or later. After Gao Ran pondered for a while, he still opened his mouth and truthfully expressed the worries in his heart.
"Don't worry about it, Zhang has his own clever plan!" As soon as Zhang Liao's words came out, everyone couldn't help but change color, Gao Ran was happy at first, and then couldn't help frowning again, I really don't know what good strategies can be implemented according to the current situation.
At this time, suddenly a general from outside hurriedly came to report, saying that Huo Tai, the general of Fan Chou's army, had led an army to leave, and it seemed that he was going to camp in Naquezui Mountain, a few miles to the northeast.
As soon as Zhang Liao heard this, a pair of awe-inspiring lion eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and the momentum of his whole body changed suddenly, just like the fierce and compelling power of a peerless sword that came out of its sheath.
"Good! This Fan Chou is finally willing to act! When the generals listened, they all immediately went back to stabilize the morale of the army, and it won't take long for me to break it!! ”
Zhang Liao's eyes were impressive, and he could be described as shocked. When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other, and they all looked at each other, and they all had doubts.
That night, in the cottage, although the generals had already pacified their subordinates, it was still difficult to appease the hearts of the people. It is the original part of those Black Mountain thieves.
In a tent in the village, Liu Qiang and Zhang Wu, who were once the small leaders of the Black Mountain thieves, were secretly resentful because they could not be reused, and the two were discussing in the tent.
"That Zhang Wenyuan prides himself on being invincible, but he is a brave and resourceless horseman. I'm afraid that the Xiliang army will arrive soon, and my two brothers can't be reused here, or just take refuge in Fan Chou! A big man with a big scar on his head said. This person is Liu Qiang.
"Brother Liu is right! We don't work hard to live a better life! This Zhang Wenyuan is strict in governing the army and does not pay attention to human feelings, and many of the brothers under my command are resentful. Zhang Wenyuan killed Fan Chou's two generals before, if we help Fan Chou to take the cottage and defeat this Zhang Wenyuan, we will definitely be able to be greatly used, but this is the case, why bother to give this Zhang Wenyuan as a grandson in vain! But I saw a blind man who looked quite obscene, and after listening to Liu Qiang's words, he immediately showed a little joy, and hurriedly responded.
"Good! Tonight it was my team's turn to guard in the back mountain, and then I made an appointment with a few brothers and went to Fan Chou's place to take refuge! Liu Qiang's eyes lit up, so after discussing with Zhang Wu for a while, he made up his mind, and he was inevitably discovered, so he left.
At night, Fan Chou was thinking in the tent. Suddenly, someone came to report that he had caught a few small works, but the person in charge said that he had something important to do. When Fan Chou heard this, he suddenly showed a heroic smile on his face and said, "Hahaha~!! It seems that the day when Zhang Liao is defeated is just around the corner! Quick pass~! ”
When he was young, Liu Qiang and a few men were brought into the tent, and when they saw a powerful general waiting, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
"You are a dog under Zhang Liao, why did you come to my camp!?" As soon as Fan Chou saw Liu Qiang, he shouted coldly. When Liu Qiang heard this, he suddenly changed color, and he was busy kowtowing and bowing: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life~!" Zhang Liao is not benevolent, and he dislikes us as thieves and old troops, and often abuses them. ”
"Humph! There is a lot of nonsense, if you don't tell the truth, this general will not accompany you, and you will be dragged out and beheaded to show the public! Fan Chou's face was cold suddenly, and he shook his hand and shouted, the soldiers who escorted Liu Qiang and others over immediately responded with a loud voice, and they were about to drag Liu Qiang and others out. Liu Qiang and the others were all timid and afraid of death, so frightened that their faces changed greatly, they cried bitterly, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"General~~!! Wait~~!! Wait~~!! Liu Qiang thought that he was going to die, so he shouted as hard as he could, but he was so frightened that he was incontinent on the spot, and urine flowed out of his crotch.
"You shit! Dare to dirty General Fan's tent, damn it!! The soldier who dragged Liu Qiang was furious when he saw this, glared and scolded angrily, and suddenly pulled out a big knife, about to chop Liu Qiang to death on the spot.
"Wow! Uncle spare his life! Liu Qiang screamed, and before the knife was cut, he was so frightened that he fainted.
After a while, Liu Qiang, who was in a daze, was woken up by a poke of cold water, so cold that he screamed miserably, curled up, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Fan Chou, who was full of fierceness, and was busy kneeling and kowtowing: "Master, the little one is greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm afraid that the Xiliang army will be killed, and I think that Zhang Liao will not be reused on weekdays, so I want to take refuge in the general to gain fame and fortune!" The little one is a waste, and it's useless for the general to kill the villain! ”
Liu Qiang cried and kowtowed, or he was so scared that he couldn't even feel the pain, and his entire forehead was bleeding.
"Monk, what do you think?" Fan Chou looked at it and asked a man in a Chinese robe who was in his early thirties, wearing a Confucian robe, and looked a little thin.
This is called Meng Ke is from a family in the north of Xiliang, since he was a child, he has been wise, and when he grows up, he is a rich man, since Xu Jing's death, he has become the first strategist under Fan Chou's account.
"Look at this man's deeds, but it doesn't look like a deceit. The general should have heard what he could do to save his dog's life. Meng Ke looked at Liu Qiang's eyes, showing a little disdain, and then turned to Fan Houna, and the two looked at each other secretly. Fan Chou listened, his face turned pale, and he asked Liu Qiang: "You heard it, my military advisor is willing to believe you, and I will give you a chance to save your life!" ”
When Liu Qiang heard this, he was overjoyed, and after thanking Fan Chou and Meng Ke one after another, he hurriedly said: "Two adults, now that Zhang Wenyuan is trapped in this cottage, he is already a turtle in an urn, but he refuses to surrender, and wants to entangle with the general's Xiliang army to the end, but it is really a mantis arm blocking the car, putting our soldiers in the water and fire!" There are already many people in the army who are extremely dissatisfied with him and are interested in becoming a general. I came here at the risk of death this time, just to discuss with General Fan, you and I set a time, when I instigated in the army, and those brothers rebelled together, General Fan saw the movement and led the army to kill the cottage, the inside and the outside should be together, and the Zhang Wenyuan will be captured! ”
When Fan Chou heard this, his face sank at first, and his eyes were cast to Meng Ke on the side. Meng Ke narrowed his eyes and asked quickly: "If you want to rebel, how many people in the army will echo together?" ”
Liu Qiang was obedient, thought about it secretly, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to the adult, there are at least hundreds of people, but once you fall into chaos, most of the people in the village will not be able to react, as long as General Fan can quickly lead troops to kill, those who were hesitant before will definitely come to vote, the small ones think this is foolproof, I don't know what the adults think?" ”
"This man may seem to be as timid as a mouse, but he is also a little quick. And it doesn't look like he's cheating. Meng Ke's brain was spinning, and then he said: "Your plan is also exquisite, I have no objection!" ”
"Good! Then without further ado, I'll just give you one day to get back to the arrangement. If there is no movement before the third watch tonight, this matter will be over! Fan Chou was obedient, his eyes lit up instantly, and he made a choice quickly, he was sophisticated, and naturally he would not give Liu Qiang any chance to cheat, after all, he only had one day, and the time was in a hurry, even if he was really a spy sent by Zhang Liao to deceive him, it would be difficult to make arrangements in just one day! On the contrary, if Liu Qiang is not deceitful, according to his strategy, he can easily capture and kill Zhang Liao, the evil tiger!
Fan Chou said, and Meng Ke and Liu Qiang gave a few more words. Soon, Fan Chou gave Liu Qiang dozens of taels of gold as a reward, and put his subordinates back, and Liu Qiang sneaked back with people.
The next day, Zhang Liao issued a military order early in the morning, saying that a major war was imminent, and that all armies should rest and recuperate. When Liu Qiang heard the military order, he was shocked and panicked, and hurriedly discussed with Zhang Wu secretly. The two felt that Zhang Liao was likely to have found out, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
At noon, Zhang Liao suddenly issued another military order, saying that the reinforcements of the army could arrive tonight, so that the troops could be ready, eat before sunset, and when the night was dark, they would kill down the mountain, and attack Fan Chou's army under the mountain together with the reinforcements. As soon as this military order came out, the morale of the army was suddenly shaken, and those soldiers who had been holding back their evil anger for a long time, hearing that they finally had a chance to vent, they all geared up and waited for the night to fight. And those recruits who were frightened and panicked in their hearts also calmed down, thinking that a big victory was imminent, and finally they could breathe a sigh of relief after the battle tonight, and they all cheered up.
At this time, Liu Qiang and Zhang Wu were not happy, but regretful, hateful and anxious. And there are signs of restlessness under the command of both of them, and after they are busy with their own appeasement, the two are secretly discussing.
"This!! What a good thing that is!! Brother Liu, you have always been scheming, think of a way, otherwise once the people below expose you and me to take refuge in Fan Chou in order to save their lives, you and I will definitely die!! Zhang Wu said hurriedly, his heart had already lost his bearings.
"Don't be nervous first, I think this Zhang Wenyuan must be tricky, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Although Liu Qiang spoke like this, he frowned and walked back and forth, looking helpless.
"Hey! I heard this morning that Zhang Wenyuan was like a group of generals boasting about Haikou yesterday, saying that they would soon be able to defeat Fan Chou's army, but I'm afraid it's not fake! Otherwise, we will immediately take our brothers and flee down the mountain and take refuge in Fan Chou!" As soon as Zhang Wu's words fell, there was a sudden roar of angry scolding outside, and two soldiers hurried in, saying that Gao Ran was coming with a few generals and hundreds of soldiers.
When Liu Qiang and Zhang Wu heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly. Liu Qiang hurriedly said: "The incident in the east window, so far, there are only thirty-six plans to go as the upper plan, quickly inform the brothers below, those who don't want to die will look at the back mountain and flee!" ”
