Chapter 138: Kuai Yue's Scheme
Ten days ago, Kuai Yue secretly found Fan Yong and directly predicted that soon, Tai Shi Ci would come to rebel against Chen Heng, and Chen Heng would agree to surrender. and asked Fan Yong to find him when he arrived, not only to save his life, but also to give him a credit.
Fan Yong naturally didn't believe Kuai Yue's words, he had never been very interested in these self-righteous and chattering scribes, and now he came to talk to him about some prophecy, which made him even more sneering.
But within a few days, the things in Kuai Yue's prophecy happened in front of him one by one, which made him afraid of Kuai Yue's clever calculations.
Fan Yong felt that he was forced to the edge of the cliff, he had no way out, he could only choose to betray Chen Heng, because Chen Heng's heart to defect had been decided, if the Jingzhou army did not know, Fan Yong might dare to follow Chen Heng to fight together, but now people not only know, but also before this matter was scored, it was already expected to be clear, this is still a betrayal!
But Kuai Yue privately looked for him, and he didn't explain to Chen Heng in advance, and when the matter came to an end, he might persuade Chen Heng to change his mind to surrender, but Chen Heng would definitely not trust him anymore in the future, and the future of self-destruction was small, and being eliminated was the most terrifying!
So after hesitating again and again, Fan Yong still chose to secretly inform Kuai Yue and surrender to the cow man who he thought was like a god......
And this matter is relatively clear to Kuai Yue, not as amazing as Fan Yong looked-
The Jingzhou Navy was unfavorable, and more than 40 ships were burned by Yuan Yao's new warships and new tactics, which made Kuai Yue, who was a military advisor with the army, realize that he might not be able to defeat Yuan Yao's navy by relying on traditional water warfare thinking, so Kuai Yue thought of a plan.
Chen Heng is Liu Yao's old department, and Yuan Yao's current subordinates Tai Shici and Zhang Ying were once colleagues. When Cai Mao was defeated and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him, Kuai Yue thought of Chen Heng's use value, so he came forward to save him at that time, changed the beheading to a cane punishment, and used Chen Heng as a bait to catch the fish Tai Shici.
Of course, the final purpose is naturally to lure out Yuan Yao and his water army.
Therefore, Yuan Yao's hunch of the bitter meat plan is still very accurate, but the bitter meat trick performed by Kuai Yue is slightly different from that used by Zhou Yu and Huang Gai during the Battle of Chibi in history. One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, it is the active version of the bitter meat plan; And Chen Heng definitely doesn't have this awareness, so Kuai Yue can only use the passive version of the bitter meat trick, so without voluntary cooperation, it will be more troublesome to operate, so in addition to Chen Heng's bait, there is also a fishing line to prepare, so Kuai Yue set his sights on Chen Heng's Sima - Fan Yong.
Fan Yong originally served under his brother Fan Neng, but after Fan Neng was killed by Sun Ce, Fan Yong fled to Liu Yong's side unscathed, which made Kuai Yue have a preliminary prediction of his character. After some investigation, it was finally determined that this person could be used, so after a coaxing, he sat back and waited for the fish to take the bait.
The reason why the sport of fishing has endured for a long time is because fish bite bait is instinctive and uncontrollable, so Kuai Yue is very confident in his plan.
Yuzhang is dispensable for Jingzhou, but it is an indispensable piece of territory for the Eastern Army, so as long as the Eastern Army wants to win, it can't help but take the bait.
As expected, Tai Shici quickly took the bait, and now it was time to retract the rod, but now, the disobedient bait seemed to be a little in the way!
……
"Fan Sima doesn't have to be like this, in the future, everyone will be in the same hall, and there is no need to see each other like this." Kuai Yue stretched out his hand to help Fan Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a look of contempt on his face.
Fan Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that Kuai Yue's words were counting, and he was willing to take him in, but he still replied respectfully: "Thank you, Mr., in the future, there will be no ambiguity in the end!" ”
"Hehe, good! Now there is just one thing for you to do...... Kuai Yue was unceremonious, and was about to order Fan Yong to do something, only to see him turn around and point to the wooden barrels on the carriage behind him and said, "There are ten buckets of water here, you transport them back to the barracks, and use them when cooking for the soldiers at night, but you don't eat them, and the fine work sent by Tai Shi Ci is also left, I am still useful." ”
"It's a trivial matter to deliver water, why should Mr. ...... it himself" Halfway through his words, Fan Yong was suddenly stunned, and reacted to the meaning of Kuai Yue's words!
"Hiss???" A breath of cold air inhaled into his lungs, and Chen Heng suddenly felt that the cold hairs on his body stood on end, and cold sweat flowed......
There are tens of thousands of people in the military camp of Danyang soldiers!!
Kuai Yue looked at Fan Yong with slightly squinted eyes, although his expression was still so light and breezy, but Fan Yong felt that the face in front of him had the most terrifying expression he had ever seen in his life......
"First, first, first...... Grunt! Fan Yong's teeth trembled, unable to speak, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in a row to stabilize his mind, and then said timidly, "Why, why do you want to ...... Such? ”
Kuai Yue's brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was gloomy; Seeing this, Fan Yong's face turned pale in an instant! Kuai Yue stopped scaring him when he saw it, and explained: "Because it's in the way." ”
"??? get in the way" Kuai Yue's answer gave Fan Yong goosebumps again, and he regretted asking this question a little.
……
Yuan Yao once gave up an opportunity to attack Jiangdong because he couldn't bear to slaughter Jingzhou's troops, and others may not be the same as him, because benevolence is not a merit in the army.
In fact, Yuan Yao is still distressed by the surrenders he spared, because among these surrenders, except for some people who have nothing to worry about and can use with confidence, most of them are people who are in normal military service and have families and rooms in Jingzhou.
These people have no sense of belonging to the Eastern Army, they will flee when they seize the opportunity, and they can only be treated differently when they go to the battlefield, for example, in the naval army, they can only be allowed to paddle in the bilge, and try not to let them directly participate in the war, especially when facing the Jingzhou Army.
Therefore, Lu Su imposed the most stringent system on them, cutting them down a bunch if they violated military law, and kept them under high-pressure management, which reluctantly made them obedient, but they were still like a time bomb, and they had to be treated with caution at any time.
Now that Yuan Yao is at war with Jingzhou, if he releases these surrendered troops, he will be used by Jingzhou to fight him when he turns back, which is equivalent to being an enemy.
These people are all veterans who have experienced bloody battles and survived, and there are 20,000 of them, which makes Yuan Yao dare to let go.
If they are all retired to Tuntian, then even if they don't riot, they will definitely run, and they are still cautious in the army, not to mention putting them in the people, unless they are all shackled and used as slaves, but Yuan Yao is not very willing to do this kind of thing.
So in the face of Jingzhou's surrender, Yuan Yao had only three options left except to occupy the entire Jingzhou and turn the surrendered troops into local soldiers-
First, it is placed in the military for high-pressure management; the second is to be used as a slave; The third is massacre.
Chen Heng's 10,000 Danyang soldiers are the same for the Jingzhou army, and they still belong to the puppet Rong's soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to control if there are too many puppet forces, so it is even more important to solve it as soon as possible, and the solution chosen by Kuai Yue is the third type - massacre.
Before, Cai Mao wanted to take the opportunity to kill Chen Heng and solve the Danyang soldiers, but he was stopped by Kuai Yue, and now he is doing it again because his plan is about to go to the next step......
is the same as the Battle of Chibi, the bitter meat plan is followed by a deception plan, but Chen Heng really wants to surrender to Yuan Yao, so Kuai Yue has to be replaced, but killing Chen Heng can't hide the Danyang soldiers, whether they mutini or leak the news, Kuai Yue's plan will be in vain.
Therefore, this 10,000 Danyang soldiers are very in the way......
