Chapter 162: Fiction is Reality
Autumn water arrives, Baichuan irrigates the river, now it is the end of August, although the water is only a tributary of the easy water, but the water rises, there are more than ten zhang wide, the water flow is turbulent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it is not winter now, the wind and water are cold in the middle of the night, and when Zhao Kuo stretched his hand into the water to test it, the bone-chilling cold still made him shiver......
"It's cold!"
In this case, it is more difficult to let the soldiers smuggle in the river that can reach the waist of the people, if the Yan army on the other bank is prepared, come and attack with a half, they will be finished.
And even if you want to smuggle in, you shouldn't light torches, people's titles, horses' bells, and act in the dark, right? But it was better for the lieutenant to let the soldiers come to the river with open fire and make a posture of crossing the river with great fanfare, but after coming to the water's edge, they did not act.
The Yan army on the opposite side is not blind, not to mention that there must be their spies in the Zhao Junjun City on the south bank, and Zhao Jun's actions in the middle of the night must have reached their ears. In a short time, hundreds of torches appeared on the other side of the river, and there were thousands of people behind the torches, all holding weapons, shouting and scolding in the Yan dialect, and some even shot arrows at this side with bows and crossbows, threatening the Zhao army who was about to move back.
In addition, there were also several fire dragons in the Zhongren City ten miles away on the opposite bank, galloping towards the river, and I am afraid that there were thousands of people.
Now the Zhao army has no way to cross the river, the Yan people on both sides of the Zhao people are staring at each other on both sides of the river, the Zhao army only waved the flag and shouted, the Yan army was also afraid that this was Zhao Jun's plan, and did not dare to come, so he could only test the other party with a bow and crossbow, because it was far away, and it was night, and most of those arrows were lost.
Zhao Kuo was a little depressed, and after an arrow flew against his horse, he took a step back, strictly ordered his subordinates to be careful of the arrows, and turned to the back to find the commander Xian Yu in the center, this captain was not at all annoyed by the failure to cross the river, but was more relaxed than before.
"Captain, could it be that there are additional instructions in the general's order?"
This farce is so obvious that Zhao Kuoruo can't see it anymore, and he is also called the son of Ma Fujun in vain, under his questioning, Xian Yuxuan also thought that he was not an outsider, so he quietly informed Zhao Kuo of this secret order that only he knew......
"The general originally ordered me to set up more camps, build more pine torches, bluff on this bank, make a gesture of crossing the river, and lead the Yan army to take precautions, this matter is confidential, so no one else can know about it."
Indeed, Captain Xian Yu ordered the Zhao army to carry a torch, and deliberately lengthened the marching procession, in the eyes of the Yan army on the other side, it seemed that there were only two or three thousand people, and there were tens of thousands of people, no wonder they were so nervous......
"Could it be that my father wants to emulate the Battle of Kasazawa?" After Zhao Kuo knew the truth, the secret path was indeed as he expected, but it also made him happy when he heard about the battle time and space before, and at the same time remembered a classic battle example when Wu Yue was fighting for hegemony two hundred years ago.
He remembered that this was still known when he was learning the fragment of "Fan Li's Art of War", when Gou Jian gathered ten years of lessons to make Yue strong again, began to counterattack Wu State, invaded Wu Realm, Wu Wangfu got the news, and also led troops to meet the attack, and the two sides were deployed on both sides of the Kaze River.
At that time, Gou Jian divided the army into three armies, left, center, and right, and let the left and right armies reach the south bank of the Kazawa River, and then ordered the drum to cross the river and enter the small state of the river to wait for orders. Wu Wangfu heard the sound of drums from the upper and lower reaches, and mistakenly thought that the Vietnamese army was crossing the river at night, and came by two routes, galloping to block the attack. When Goujian, the king of Yue, saw that the Wu army was in the middle of the plan, he secretly ordered the 6,000 gentlemen of the Chinese army not to sound drums, not to light fires, to cross the river, secretly approached the Wu army's camp in Jiangbei, and suddenly launched an attack, and the Wu army rushed to respond to the battle and was defeated. The two armies of King Wu who divided his troops to meet the Yue heard that the base camp was attacked and returned to the army to rescue, but at this time, the left and right armies of the Yue army crossed the river again and pursued and broke it......
The battle of Kaze ended with a great victory for the Yue army and a defeat for the Wu army, and also laid the end of the death of Yue Xing and Wu.
In his opinion, his father probably wanted to emulate that battle this time, let them make a forced crossing on the side of Gu County, attract the attention of the Yan army, and send a large army to quietly cross the river in Zuoren, Kucheng and other places to raid the rear of the Yan army?
"The way of war, the way of treachery, the false is real, the real is virtual, this is indeed the method of war that my father loves to use. This was the case in the last battle of Yanhe, first deliberately making the army pause as a cowardice, so that the enemy army relaxed its vigilance, and then set up suspicious troops, so that the enemy general made a mistake in judgment, and finally ended the battle with a large army to attack its vital points. ā
Zhao Kuo has played the art of war with his father hundreds of times since he was a child, and he has long memorized his father's routines.
However, this tactic seems to be highly feasible, but Zhao Kuo is still worried.
"My father once told me that Yan Jiang Rong is not a mediocre person, can such an obvious strategy fool him?"
Rong Yan is a native of Pengcheng in the Song Kingdom, older than his father, and he became famous ten years earlier than his father.
At that time, the Song Kingdom was still there, and it was under the rule of the Song Wangyan, who was said to have "a divine light on his face, and his strength could bend and stretch the iron hook", and he was extremely arrogant, set himself up as the king, and attacked the neighboring countries wantonly. Defeated Chu in the south, expanded the land for more than 300 miles, defeated the Wei army in the west, took two cities, destroyed the Teng country, and had its land. At that time, the Song Kingdom was known as the "Five Thousand Times Power Song", which was indispensable, as if it was going to become the eighth heroic country in the world.
The reason why the Song State won many battles in foreign wars was due to the contribution of Rong Yan, who was the first fierce general under the Song Dynasty.
However, the prosperity of the Song Kingdom did not last long, because the Song Dynasty ruled tyrannically internally, and had enemies with all the princes externally, and was called "Ji Song" by the princes, so he was attacked and destroyed by the King of Qi Min. After the fall of the Song State, the Song generals scattered in exile, this Rong Worm fled north to the Yan State, and took refuge in the King of Yan Zhao, he was with Qin Kai, as well as from the Zhao State in the past Le Yi, Zhao Hao, and Ju Xin were ministers in the same hall, and they made meritorious contributions in the five kingdoms and the previous battles of opening up Liaodong.
Now that Qin Kai is dead, the drama Xin is old, Le Yi was expelled to death in Zhao State, Le Yi's son Le Jian is young, this Rong Yi as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, as if he has become the premier commander of Yan State, so he was entrusted with an important task by King Yan, named him Gaoyang Jun, so that he could cut down Zhao, and in a short period of time, he even pulled out the three cities north of the river, which shows that the courage of this general is not less than that year.
What's more, Zhao Kuo knew that when his father was a general in Yan Kingdom, he also had some friendship with Rong Worm, and the two knew each other, and now this pair of old friends are facing each other, Zhao Kuo can see his father's tactics, can't Rong Cockroach see it?
Worry is worry, but now Zhao Kuo only knows that his side is acting as a suspicious soldier, but he doesn't know where his father's killing move is, and he doesn't even know if his father's army is still in Kucheng, so he can only be anxious.
In desperation, Zhao Kuo could only be on the edge of the water, working harder to let the soldiers wave their flags and shout, and made several times to cross the water, making this scene more realistic.
The sky is getting brighter, and after dawn, Zhao Jun's virtual and real will be exposed to the sun, and the play will not be able to continue.
Zhao Kuo looked at Dongfang, who was exposed to the white of the fish's belly, wiped the cold droplets on his face, and thought: "I just hope that the old knife of Rong Worm is dull, and I just hope that he can't guess where his father's real main attack is......"
It wasn't until three days later that he heard the news that Zhao Hao had attacked Gaoyangyi, the fiefdom of Rongyi in the northeast, with a large army, but was defeated......
