Chapter Forty-Six: Chen Gong Returns, Gao Shun Enters the Mountain
Yang Feng and Han Xian also sent troops south after discussing with Tian Jing that day, but in Xincai, they encountered the enemy general Qiao Rui and attacked the city for a long time, and they lost their sharpness for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When they heard that Tian Jing had even gone down to several counties, and now he had attacked the edge of the Huai River, the two of them had no taste in their hearts. If there is no comparison with others, why is he so unbearable compared to Tian Jingyi's soldiers and horses under his command?
These two people have a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Runan, except for Yang Feng's remnants of Xiliang, which is Han Xianam's old Hedong Baibo Division, most of the rest of the people were recruited after arriving in Runan, and to be honest, the combat effectiveness is really not very good. In addition, their soldiers were not trained in peacetime, and their command was ineffective on the battlefield, so it was difficult to win this siege battle. You must know that the final strength on the battlefield is still strength, so it is not too much to fight for a long time in Xincai City.
On this day, in the siege camp of Yang Feng and Han Xianam, a sergeant suddenly came to report that a man had asked to see the two generals.
Yang Feng's attack has been unfavorable in the past few days, and he is angry, so he scolded, "What are you doing to eat, is it that ordinary people can see this when he is busy with official business?" I've sent me a big deal, and I have to ask about this kind of trivial matter. ”
The soldier hurriedly said, "Originally, the little one was going to drive him away, but he said that he had a way to capture Xincai, and the general would definitely see him." ”
Yang Feng was surprised when he heard this, "There is such a thing?" Hurry up and ask this person to come in. ”
After a while, a man dressed as a blue-robed scribe walked into Yang Feng's hall. Yang Feng looked this person up and down for a long time, but he didn't know this person.
The man clenched his fists and said straight to the point, "In Xia Chen Palace." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Feng and Han Xian asked at the same time: "Are you Chen Gong, the strategist of Xuzhou Lu Bu?" ”
Chen Gong affirmed, "Yes, it's down." ”
Han Xian asked, "Cao Cao's 50,000 army broke through Xiapi, and Mr. is nowhere to be found, I didn't expect to see Mr. here today, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Chen Gong is also not polite, "Chen left Xiapi and wandered around. Today, I am really interested in assisting the two generals to achieve great things. Cao Cao hated Chen to the bone, and if the two generals were afraid of being involved, they drove Chen out of the camp. If you want to curry favor with Cao Cao and receive a reward, please tie Chen into Xu Capital. If the general wants to divide one side and achieve some feats, then Chen will plan one or two for the two generals. ”
Yang Feng smiled when he heard this, "Mr. Chen Gong is from afar, and I am very honored to be able to value me as a martial artist." ”
Chen Gong said with a smile, "I, Chen Gong, serve the general, all because I look at the heroes of the world, and none of them are just ears." The only general who can compete with Cao Cao is the only one. ”
Although Yang Feng also knew that Chen Gong had the intention of serving himself, so he would inevitably flatter, but he was still very comfortable listening to this in his heart. Yang Fengdao, "In the past, Mr. Lu Bude was able to sit in Xuzhou from no fixed residence, and today Mr. Lu has a good plan to teach me." ”
Chen Gongyan said, "The general is now in Runan, but he lives in the center of the north and south, although he is in the land of the four wars, he also has many opportunities. If you are crusading against Yuan Shu today, this is the general's chance. The general should first take all of Runan, and then wait for the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu's Shouchun, and take the opportunity to cross the Huai River south and enter the Lujiang River. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight sooner or later, and Sun Ce has no heroes in the world, and it is inevitable that he will go north to Guangling, and then seize Xuzhou. In this way, the whole south is the general's world, and when the time comes, the general can take Yuzhang to the south and attack Jiangxia to the west. then plot against Jingzhou and recruit heroes from all over the world, so that you can stand on your own feet according to half of the country; You can also wait and see the current situation, if the battle of Cao Yuan in the Central Plains is defeated, the general may not be able to send troops to Wancheng, enter Luoyang, and become the lord of the world at that time. I wonder what the general thinks? ”
Yang Feng was overjoyed after hearing this, and listened to Chen Gong's meaning, at worst, he could cut off the wealthy Jingzhou and stand on his own, and maybe he would have a chance to dominate the world and Dingding Central Plains. This was something he couldn't even think of. Now when he heard Chen Gong say this, his mind was alive. After that, Chen Gong was invited to take a seat, arranged good wine and food, and the three of them ate and chatted.
When Chen Gong revealed his plan and plan, plus many specific strategies and plans, the two of them were very happy. Although Yang Feng is not easy to say, there is still a question that is not unhappy, that is, whether this Chen Gong is a master who only knows how to talk on paper, or whether he really has the real ability to assist his advisers. Then he said, "After listening to Mr.'s strategy, I feel that it is really like an initiation, and I can see the sun through the clouds." But what Mr. said is a long-term strategy, now that we are trapped under this Xincai City, the most difficult thing is how to capture this city. I don't know if this gentleman has a good plan. ”
Chen Gong said, "Since I am here, I have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." The general couldn't attack it for a long time, and the bridge was naturally sluggish. At this time, if the general divides his troops to attack Xinxi and draws half of the soldiers and horses outside Xincai City, then from Qiao Rui's point of view, there will be a chance to counterattack. But our soldiers and horses did not really pay the information, and only laid ambushes along the way. If he rushes to the aid of the information after defeating the besieging soldiers and horses under the city, then it will be our chance. We can take advantage of this to ambush Qiao Rui, if he is defeated to Xinxi, we will combine to attack Xincai, if he is defeated back to Xincai, we will attack and eat his soldiers and horses on both sides, and then take Xincai. ”
Yang Fenghan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he believed in Chen Gong even more. He appointed Chen Gong as a military advisor, and the transfer of soldiers and horses was arranged by Chen Gong.
used Chen Gong's plan, Qiao Rui really hit the plan, he only had 10,000 defenders in Xincai, and after Yang Feng sent Han Xian to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses. Qiao Rui led the army to attack Yang Feng's camp at night, and Yang Feng's army was defeated and retreated to Pingyu. Qiao Rui left 5,000 people to collect Xincai, and brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to help Xinxi, but he was ambushed by Han Xian and fled to Xinxi with 2,000 remnants.
Yang Fenghan joined forces and attacked Xincai again, and the defenders of Xincai knew that Qiaorui had been defeated and led the people to surrender. In this battle, not only did he win Xincai, but he also won more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. Yang Feng Daxi naturally reused Chen Gong more. Chen Gong personally led the troops to capture Ruyin, and now only one soldier and horse in the entire Runan is still holding on to Xinxi, and the remaining counties are either returned to Tian Jing or Yang Feng.
**********************************************************************
When Shi Da returned to Lanling with Tian Jing's secret letter, Yuan Tan and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were fighting under Lanling City. As Tian Jing said, Yuan Tan was a straw bag, and when he saw that Gao Shun occupied Lanling and cut off his main way back to Qingzhou, he left Tancheng, which he had just obtained, and went north to attack Lanling.
This made Cao Hong, who cleaned up the mess in Xuzhou, take a big advantage, basically without blood, occupied Tancheng, and recovered Donghai County.
Yuan Tan led two 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Lanling, which was guarded by 6,000 people in Gaoshun, but he couldn't attack it for a long time. Yuan Shao knew that his son was trapped in Xuzhou, and ordered Zhang He to lead 10,000 cavalry south to support. Zhang Liao was ordered to go north to attack Nancheng, but before he could reach Nancheng, he encountered Zhang He's reinforcements.
Zhang Liao and Zhang He, two famous generals, launched a frontal cavalry confrontation on the battlefield of the Shandong Plain. But after all, Zhang He led 10,000 troops, Zhang Liao only had more than 3,000 cavalry, and the disparity between the enemy and our forces was huge, Zhang Liao held out for more than half an hour, killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, and his own losses were more than 1,500 cavalry.
Fortunately, Lu Bu, who pretended to be Xiaoliu, had more than 100 reserve white horse Yicong and female soldiers under Lu Wen's command rushed to the rescue, and Pei Yuanshao's soldiers and horses thought they were suspicious soldiers in the mountains and forests, which made Zhang He, who had always been cautious, lead the troops out of the battlefield.
Now Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to go north again, so he had to go south and return to Lanling, occupy the city next to Lanling, and continue to fight with Yuan Tan.
At this time, Shi Da saw Lu Wen with the letter, and Lu Wen realized that their plan was indeed immature. It's just that now that the fight has been fought, the losses on both sides are very serious, and the soldiers on both sides are on the same footing, and now it seems impossible to take refuge in Yuan Shao. So where is the way out for this group of their people?
Just when Lu Wen was worried about this, worse news came, Yuan Tan south of Lanling continued to attack the city every day, and 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang He north of Lanling had arrived, plus the reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao in the future. Under the current circumstances, even if Gao Shun and Zhang Liao can fight again, they will not be able to resist the enemy army.
Lu Wen convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Pei Yuanshao, and Lu Qilin were all present. They deliberated all night to no avail. In the end, Lu Wen decided to go to Langya Zang Ba, because Tian Jing said before that Zang Ba was his uncle and would definitely help.
But the others disagreed, because Zang Ba had already surrendered to Cao Cao and was holding his son hostage, so how could he trust him anymore. Pei Yuanshao suggested abandoning the county seat of the prefecture, withdrawing people from the mountains, and hiding for the time being to recuperate. But when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao started a big battle, they found an opportunity to go out of the mountain to erect Lu Bu's banner and recruit troops.
Because there was no other way, this policy, which was the most difficult to accept from Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, was unanimously approved. Lu Wen still decided to go to see Zang Ba once, although there was no need for a large team of people to take refuge, but so many people had entered the mountains, so where did the food and grass come from. Isn't it possible that the CD is looting everywhere?
Everyone thought about it, if Lu Wen went by herself, there was no need to worry about Zang Ba being unfavorable to him. After all, Lu Wen is the wife of Tian Jing, the general of the expedition to the north, and Zang Ba will not do much good to betray Lu Wen, and it will also make the world despised. Therefore, everyone has decided on the discussion, and the arrangement will be made immediately.
At night, Gao Shun led his troops into Zhangcheng, and Lanling became an empty city. Then the people moved from the city to the mountains. In order to prevent Yuan Tan or Zhang He's soldiers and horses from pursuing, the army slowly retreated, leaving Zhang Liao's cavalry to break off, and set up ambushes every few dozen miles.
However, in fact, Yuan Tan and Zhang He did not pursue. Yuan Tan occupied Lanling, and he didn't believe it at first, but then he was overjoyed. After joining Zhang He's soldiers and horses, Yuan Tan left a guard to guard Lanling, and then led the troops back to Qingzhou in a hurry. Zhang He originally accepted the task of receiving Yuan Tan, but since Yuan Tan was unharmed, he did not want to have another incident. As for where Gao Shun and Zhang Liao withdrew their troops, they didn't care about it.
