82 Scheduled Fire Attack
Li Zhen was particularly interested in Sun Jian, the well-known Jiangdong Tiger. Sun Jian is rumored to be a descendant of the soldier saint Sun Wu, brave and resourceful, fierce in battle, alone in the side, but the war was ruthless, and finally died on the battlefield. Later generations commented that there were six tigers in the Three Kingdoms, five tigers belonged to Liu Bei, and one tiger was in Jiangdong, and this tiger was Sun Jian.
At this time, Sun Jian's reputation was not obvious, and when he saw Li Zhen coming, Sun Jian was looking at him with a smile on his head at this time, Li Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "The general's prestige, it is better to hear than to see in person, and it is an honor to see it today." ”
Sun Jian had an open-minded personality, and seeing that Li Zhen was not much older than his eldest son, but he was already famous, he took the initiative to step forward to show goodwill, and said with a wry smile: "General Li is modest, I have already heard of your heroic deeds." You're a young grade, but you're a great performer. I think I almost died a few days ago. ”
Although Sun Jian fought fiercely, the army he led only had 1,000 elite soldiers recruited by himself in the Huaishui and Surabaya areas, and more than ten days ago, he took advantage of the victory to chase the enemy, went deep with a single gun, accidentally injured and fell off his horse, and lay in the grass. At that time, the sergeants were scattered, and they didn't know where he was, so they ran back to the camp on the war horse he was riding, and roared and neighed with their hooves. Sun Jian returned to the camp to recuperate for more than ten days, and now his injuries have improved, otherwise how could Sun Jian's fiery temper be endured in the city during the siege of these days.
Zhu Jun and everyone were puzzled, why did Li Zhen have such a good impression of Sun Jian? Li Zhen couldn't help but be excited when he saw that it was Sun Jian himself, and when he saw that everyone was puzzled, he didn't bother to explain, but invited Sun Jian to have time to drink in his tent together.
The generals discussed the military situation, but there was no good way to break the enemy, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were also at a loss, so they could only order each to return to the camp and stand by on the spot.
········
In the next few days, Li Zhen stayed in the training camp every day, watching the soldiers train, occasionally asking Sun Jian to come to his camp to drink and chat, waiting for the visitor to notify him to go to the middle camp for a meeting. Li Zhen knew in his heart how Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turban Army in the end, and what he had to do now was to wait for the opportunity.
On this day, as usual, when he returned to the camp, it was not early, and when Li Zhen was about to rest, he heard a strong wind blowing outside, and suddenly he jumped up happily and shouted: "The time has come for meritorious service." Then he called Zhang Fei and Dian Wei to come to Zhongying again.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had already rested with their clothes together, and when they heard someone from outside report that Li Zhen was asking to see them, they wondered in their hearts, didn't they just discuss the military situation just now? Why did he come again at this time, could it be that he came up with a good countermeasure, so he quickly got up and came to the camp tent, and Huangfu Song shouted excitedly: "It's so late, is it possible for General Li to have good news?" ”
Li Zhen stood up and saluted: "General, I just returned to the camp and suddenly thought about it, maybe I can break the enemy." ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun showed a happy look on their faces, and Zhu Jun shouted, "Hurry up." "Don't worry, let's discuss it together when everyone arrives." Huangfu Song sent guards to inform the generals of each battalion to come to the middle camp quickly.
The generals came to the middle camp again, all of them were drowsy, and they were woken up by someone as soon as they fell asleep, and they couldn't help but look unhappy, but they also had a lot of doubts in their hearts. He whispered, what's wrong? He said: "General Li has any clever plan, now I only come by channel, and I will remember your first credit when the time comes." When he heard this, he suddenly woke up, and he was completely sleepy, and his energy was a hundred times greater, as if there was light in front of him immediately.
"Don't dare." Li Zhen humbly replied.
"Brother, just say what you have to say, we will all listen to you." Sun Jian laughed and said, these days he drinks and chats with Li Zhen, and both of them admire each other, so they are called brothers.
Despite this, there were still some soldiers with disdain on their faces, thinking that in such a short period of time, everyone had no good plan to retreat from the enemy, and after a while, he Li Zhen could come up with a good way.
Li Zhen didn't care about other people's looks, and said in a speech: "A few days ago, I found a thing when I was fighting with the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. ”
Li Zhen said this, and everyone instantly understood. "This kid is insidious!" There is such a thought in everyone's hearts, if there is such a good plan not to say it earlier, we will be scared these days, and now we can finally live without cowering.
Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other and smiled, Huang Fu Song stood up and said: "This general now has a strategy to break the enemy, the weather has been dry recently, the most prone to fire, tonight the wind has risen, now is the time for you to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and wait for the speed to prepare, bring fire items, and prepare to break the Yellow Turban Army." ”
"No."
After everyone left, only Li Zhen, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun were left, and Huang Fu Song smiled and said: "This time, General Li is witty, and the old man admires it!" ”
"Your Excellency has won the prize. It is a humble duty to be able to help adults, and it is up to the brothers whether or not they can succeed tonight. Everyone has gone to prepare, and I will prepare for it too. Li Zhen said. Saluted to the lord, the emperor returned the salute, and then politely turned back to the camp
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at Li Zhen's back, and Zhu Jun said: "This kid really has a set." ”
After Li Zhen returned to the camp, he made arrangements for Zhang Fei and others, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei led all the cavalry in the team, while he, Zhang Jaw and Zhou Cang brought the infantry, this time the main task was to create momentum and capture prisoners, and the rest of the things were done by others.
After the people were organized, Li Zhen came to Zhongying and joined Huang Fu Song, Zhu Jun and others, Huang Fu Song said loudly: "Now is the time for you to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, I hope you will fight bravely, break through the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop, and win the victory." ”
At this time, the Yellow Turban camp was silent, and only a few bonfires lit up the camp.
The moonlight was shining on the earth, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were alternately on duty, and the soldiers were shouting at the city gate during the day, and they had been shouting for a day, and now they were all so tired that they were in the big camp, and they slept in the camp tent one by one.
In addition to the soldiers patrolling the battalion, the rest of the battalion were still snoring regularly, the wind was blowing, everyone slept like pigs, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a good time to kill people and set fires, but they were completely unaware of the coming of the crisis!
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and the earth shook, "Oh no, it's an enemy attack." One of the Yellow Turbans on guard shouted.
