Chapter 342: The Suspicious Soldier
Wang Shao was inspired by Yang Guang's words, stared at Li Che with blazing eyes, and asked thoughtfully: "General Li, in the past, the ancients 'besieged Wei to save Zhao' in order to relieve the siege of Zhao, but now if I bluff and make a clear posture of going north to capture Wuyuan City, in fact, it is to achieve the purpose of bullying Luo Yu to abandon the city and retreat north as soon as possible, what should I do?" ”
Before Li Che could reply, Yang Guang had already excitedly rushed out and said: "Yes, the truth is false, the virtual is real, as long as the people in Baidaozhou City are eager, it is difficult to see through our hypocrisy, we will definitely abandon the city and retreat north, and take the initiative to give up Baidaozhou, in that case, won't we be done?" ”
"But, Lord Wang, the men and horses we brought are all infantry troops, not to mention, most of the sergeants are ordinary people who have just taken off their cloth clothes, and if they want to lead such an army to attack Wuyuan City for a long time, I am worried about ......" Because he has witnessed the overall combat strength of this army under his command in the past few days, Li Che reminded Yang Guangdao without worry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Duke Qi An, there is no need to send another team of men and horses to attack Wuyuan City, you just say, whether you are willing to obey the arrangement of this king." Yang Guang seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, winked at Li Che a little mischievously, and asked with a smile.
It is a matter of success or failure of the overall situation, how dare Li Che wait to ignore it, and let Yang Guang be a yellow-mouthed child willful, he exchanged glances with Wang Shao, and asked Yang Guang in a deep voice: "I don't know what arrangements the prince is going to make, can you tell it first?" ”
"First of all, please first remove the banner of the king's servant in the camp of the Chinese army and erect the banner of the king." Yang Guang stretched out a finger and said to Wang and Li.
"The prince showed his banner to shock the morale of the defenders in the city? This one is acceptable. Wang Shao nodded slightly and expressed his approval of what Yang Guang said.
"Secondly, the Duke of Qi An must immediately send an order to send heavy troops to surround the direction north of Baidaozhou. It must be remembered that the north is only besieged and not attacked, and at the same time, the east, west, and south sides must step up their offensive, creating the illusion that there is no way to retreat. Yang Guang raised a second finger.
"It's not hard to do. But how to convince Chu Luo that our army is going to launch a strong attack on Wuyuan City? Li Che listened to the two arrangements made by Yang Guang one after another, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Don't be in a hurry, after the encirclement of Baidao Prefecture is formed, there is no need to send soldiers and horses to travel long distances and storm Wuyuan City, you just need to send a team of men and horses to openly deliver military food to the military camp in the north of the city every day, so as to create the illusion that our army is focusing on the north of the city." Yang Guang smiled and stretched out a third finger.
"Just by sending military rations to the north of the city, can you induce Chu Luo Yu to believe that our army is going to storm Wuyuan City?" This time, even Wang Shao felt incredulous.
"Of course not." Yang Guang then added, "Please send people to make dozens of banners overnight, write the words of King Wei and all walks of life under the command of Uncle Wei, and order someone to light torches in the east of Baidaozhou City tomorrow evening, and raise these banners from afar, deliberately releasing false news that King Wei has led the army from Liaodong to reinforce our army, and confusing Luo Yu." With these few, most of the people in Luo Throat will not be able to stay in Baidaozhou City. ”
Suspicious tactics! Li Che listened intently to the various arrangements that Yang Guang said one after another, and these three words first flashed in his mind.
Although it is not difficult for a discerning person to see the loopholes in Yang Guang's various arrangements, for example, how Yang Shuang led an army of 100,000 troops thousands of miles away in Yingzhou, Liaodong, how could he rush to Baidaozhou to reinforce within three or five days, etc., but as long as the arrangements were properly arranged, Li Che had to admit that if Yang Guang's arrangements were applied at the same time, it would still cause a lot of pressure to the people trapped in the city.
"You might as well give it a try according to what the prince just said." Once Li Che understood the core strategy adopted by Yang Guang, he discussed with Wang Shao in an inquiring tone.
"If Chu Luo Yu really abandons the city and retreats north, Lord Wang, should we let him go?" Wang Shao pecked repeatedly, and vaguely guessed a little bit of Yang Guang's true intentions, and deliberately debuted to test him for the school examination.
"Once Chu Luo Yu mistakenly thinks that our army will go north in a big way and makes the decision to abandon the city and retreat north, most of them will try their best to burn the grain and grass I have gathered in the north of the city before breaking through, and then we only need to protect the grain and grass from being burned, whether we can capture him alive or not depends on Chu Luo Yu's life, is there any big problem?"
When Wang Shao heard Yang Guang's reply, he was stunned at first, and then let out a knowing smile.
However, things didn't go exactly the way Yang envisioned.
After being besieged in the city of Baidaozhou by Li Che for five days and five nights, Chu Luo Yu was shocked to hear the news that the Sui army reinforcements had arrived, and then received a report, and learned that it was Yang Guang himself who led the army to reinforce him, and the Sui army in the camp newly erected a red banner with the words "General Zuo Wuwei, Hebei Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling Yang", he couldn't help muttering in his heart: If the Sui army was just to retaliate for Yongyu Lu's night attack on Yanmen Pass, and came out of the pass to attack Baidaozhou, and a single general was in charge of the army, how could Yang Guang come to the former enemy in person? Could it be that the Sui army increased its troops outside Baidaozhou this time, did it have another plan?
After that, Chu Luo Yu learned that the Sui army mobilized heavy troops to set up a siege outside the north city, and blocked the north side that had been left only as their own retreat, and at the same time, the Sui army besieging the city on the east, west and south sides strengthened the offensive against Bai Daozhou, just when Luo Yu was puzzled about this, and then for three days, as long as Luo Yu climbed the city tower, he would see a large number of Sui soldiers carrying grain and grass to the north of the city.
When Li Che ordered the Sui army to besiege the city on three sides, east, west and south a few days ago, leaving only the north side without sending troops to set up a siege, Luo Yu, who was in the city, tacitly guessed Li Che's intention: to force himself to abandon the city and retreat north.
But now that Yang Guangqin led the reinforcements to arrive, he completely changed Li Che's original deployment, not only sent heavy troops to the north of the city to surround it, but also kept gathering a large amount of grain and grass in the direction of the north of the city.
The last arrangement made by Yang Guang: the appearance of men and horses under the banner of Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, in the east of Baidaozhou City was not enough to make Chu Luo Yu mistakenly think that Yang Shuang had led troops to reinforce and attack Baidaozhou. But it induced him into another layer of misunderstanding: the Sui army deliberately used the banner of Yang Shuang, and its real purpose was to stabilize the defenders in Baidaozhou City, avoid leading the army to break through the city, and gallop north to aid Wuyuan City.
Chu Luo Yu successively solicited the opinions of the generals under his command on the movements of the Sui army that had recently been discovered, and although the answers were different, one thing became clearer: Yang Guang personally went to the former enemy, and the person he was planning was definitely not a city in Baidaozhou.
Once this was determined, Chu Luoyu did not immediately issue an order to abandon the city and break through the siege and retreat north, but personally wrote a letter to Yang Guang to negotiate peace, and sent his confidant Suo Tu out of the city to the Sui army camp to ask Yang Guang to pass on the letter.
