64. In addition to the three families in the interior, the suspicious soldier Fan Chou indulged in Han
"Why is the general so forgetful? Xu has already said in advance, grasp the spies inside, refuse to defend the city, Chang'an city wall is tall, the city defense is fully prepared, although the enemy army is fierce, but it is the lack of siege weapons, forgive him thousands of troops, it is difficult to damage Chang'an City! Jia Xu smiled slightly, looking at Li Dao very puzzled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Dao was even more incomprehensible, "That's it? Wen and Mo are playing tricks on me? If the enemy besieges us for months, will we not be at peace for months? Worried day and night, does Wenhe have a plan once and for all? ”
Jia Xu smiled again, "Don't joke about the general!" Although there are many soldiers in Xiliang, the grain and grass are indeed difficult to last. The previous time he used the strategy of slaughtering the war horse to lure Zhang Shimei to pursue, although it was a plan, it was also a helpless plan. In my opinion, in a few days, if the enemy army cannot break through the city, it will definitely retreat. Please wait a few more days, and you will see. If you want to do it once and for all, there is nothing you can do. ”
"That being the case, then believe in Wen He again. Li Bei, how did you check the affairs in the city? ”
Li Bei is Li Dao's nephew, and after listening to Jia Xu's words that day, Li Dao was worried that there were people in Chang'an City who were responding internally, so he sent Li Bei to visit day and night, which made the people in Chang'an City panic and have been unpeaceful. Until a few days ago, someone came out and advised the doctor to collude with Ma Teng, thinking that it should be an internal response. Li Bei led people to raid the Shao Mansion and interrogate the conspirators.
Li Bei went out of the class and said, "Back to the general's words, the last general is about to report: I just got the news and found a secret letter in the Shao Mansion, which mentioned the conspirators and the servant Ma Yu and the Zuo Zhonglang general Liu Fan. ”
"Good, well done! This group of rebels, Ru Su led the troops to capture Ma Yu and Liu Fan's family, and then together with the Shao family, they will all be killed in Chang'an City tomorrow, so that this person who is a rebel will see what the end of the rebellion is! I also want to let Xiliangjun know what their internal response is, haha! ”
"Yes!"
Li Dao's face finally turned clear, looked at Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, and said with a smile: "I have Wenhe, I can worry about it!" ”
When a scream came out of Chang'an City, someone had already reported it to Ma Teng. Ma Teng was frightened, and led the crowd out of the tent to watch, on the city wall, hundreds of people lined up, and behind each person stood an executioner, just waiting for orders.
Li Bei saw Ma Teng appear, and shouted loudly on the city wall: "Ma Teng is a traitor, you colluded with Chong Shao, Ma Yu and Liu Fan to try Chang'an, and now it has been recognized, and the three families of Stallion Liu (don't laugh at this) have all been captured, and they will be beheaded together this time, so that you and others will know what the end of the traitorous thief is!" Execute! ”
With Li Bei's order, hundreds of executioners stabbed together, and in an instant, hundreds of heads rolled down from the high city wall, like a rain of blood. This meeting made the people of Chang'an and the Xiliang army feel cold. When Ma Teng saw it, he shouted: "God won't help me!" It's just that I have taken pity on the three families, and my sin is also! Ma Teng was in a trance, and almost fell off the horse, Han Sui shook his head and sighed: "Shoucheng, don't be sad, this time I can't get it, I'm still thinking about how to withdraw to Xiliang." ”
Ma Teng waved his hand weakly, "I can only retreat!" ”
Han Sui said uneasily: "Shoucheng, our army is short of food, if we retreat directly, the enemy will chase after us." Is there a good way to keep the pursuers at bay? ”
"Wen Yue, don't panic, Yuan Zhi has a saying, if you attack Chang'an, go back quickly at night, in the camp tent, light more lights, stay bright all night, tie some straw paper horses, and confuse the enemy. The enemy army fell for the trick of luring the enemy before, and they will not dare to come out lightly at this moment. By the time the enemy discovers it, our army has retreated! ”
"Yuan Zhi is really good! We will act according to the plan, return to Xiliang quickly, and he will try to Chang'an again in the future! ”
It was day and night, Ma Teng led the army to retreat quietly, leaving many empty accounts, and the straw man paper horse reflected many shadows under the reflection of the lights. However, Ma Teng's army was so quiet that the soldiers defending the city of Chang'an were alert and reported to Li Dao. At this moment, the generals of the General's Mansion were still discussing the war, and when they heard this report, Fan Chou immediately asked for orders: "General, the enemy army will inevitably see that the situation is not good, and retreat at night, so the suspicious troops are deployed." I'm willing to lead my troops to capture them! ”
Li Dao laughed, "The previous time I lied that I had no food to retreat, defeated Zhang Yu, and caused me to lose a lot of people, and this time I did this trick, wouldn't General Fan want to follow Zhang Yu's example?" ”
Fan Chou was silent immediately, and he was quite dissatisfied with Li Wei's mean words in his heart.
Jia Xu leaned forward and arched his hand: "General, the enemy army deceived each other by retreating in the past, but this time it is true. If the army pursues, it will win. ”
"Wen He also thought he could pursue? Wouldn't Ma Teng make people break off? Li Wei looked at Jia Xu in disbelief.
"In the previous plan, everyone naturally competed for the first; This time, seeing that there is no hope of breaking through the city, and there is not much food for the soldiers, people will definitely want to return. Therefore, if there is such a suspicious plan, even if there are people who are cut off, they will have no heart to fight, so the battle will be won. ”
Li Wei thought for a while, "Since this is the case, then bother the two generals Zhang Fan to lead the troops to pursue, remember not to go too deep." ”
Zhang Jifan Chou immediately went out to answer the order, "The subordinates will receive the order, and they will definitely live up to the general's expectations!" ”
Han Sui Ma Teng led his troops back, and when he fought against Li Meng Wang Fang and Zhang Yu, many of the soldiers under Ma Teng were killed and wounded; Han Sui has selfish intentions, and many of his subordinates are safeguarded. Ma Teng had a lot of complaints in his heart, and when he retreated, Ma Teng said to Han Sui: "Wenyue, you still need to be cautious in this retreat. There are many dead and wounded among my soldiers, and many horses have been slaughtered, so I will retreat for the time being; Thou hast led your troops to be the queen of the Great Army, I don't know if it is possible? ”
Han Sui knew that he had not used any force in the previous battle, and he was also convinced of Yao Chong's plan, so he only hesitated a little and agreed. Han Sui led his troops to the rear, and was chasing after Fan Chou's army. Han Sui panicked in his heart, and scolded in his heart: "Could it be that Ma Teng Pifu even calculated me into it? It's not that Li Guo didn't dare to make people chase after him, why did there be so many enemy troops this time? ”
The Xiliang army was retreating at the moment, and when they heard the shouts of killing, they couldn't help but feel confused and fled separately. Han Sui couldn't restrain it, and couldn't help but sigh: My life is over! At this moment, Han Sui saw the enemy's main general rushing over, and after a closer look, it was Fan Chou. Han Sui was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Could it be Fan Gongchu who came?" ”
Fan Chou didn't expect that it was Han Sui who he met at this moment, it turned out that Fan Chou and Han Sui were originally fellow villagers and childhood friends, and when they met here, Fan Chou never thought about how to face it.
"Wen Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, I never thought that I would meet again like this today! You shouldn't have messed up with Ma Teng and ended up like this! Fan Chou said.
"Does the public have to behead and dedicate his head to Li Daohu? I am a fellow villager, why is we in a hurry! Han Sui begged bitterly.
Fan Chou said: "You know your fellow villagers, why did you raise an army to rebel and come to attack Chang'an?" Now I am getting rid of thieves for the country, and I dare not be selfish! ”
When Han Sui heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, "You are for the country, is it for your own selfishness?" Now that the Han family is in decline, Li Guo and the two thieves are bullying the king, don't the public know? General Fan is the general of the Han family, not the general of Li and Guo! Isn't it worthy of the public to obey the Han thief and attack the Han family loyalty? ”
After hearing this, Fan Chou was ashamed, sighed, and led the troops back. Han Sui was able to return to Xiliang, and after this escape, Han Sui secretly hated Ma Teng in his heart.
Li Wei has always been quite jealous of Fan Chou's prestige in the army, so he secretly installed his own cronies under Fan Chou. This time, Fan Chou let Han Sui leave, and when Li Wei heard it, he was furious, "Fan Chou'er, you dare to have a personal relationship with the enemy!" I will kill him to quench my hatred. ”
