In the gate, Zhang Zai and the others had already been awakened by the shouting of killing, and hurriedly put on their clothes and armor and hurried to the gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What's going on?"
Looking at the soldiers who were tidying up the battlefield, Zhang Zai asked with a gloomy face.
"The King." Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "It was the Jin army who wanted to steal the city, and the last general was careless for a while, and they almost succeeded, and asked the king to surrender." ”
After saying that, Zhao Yun knelt directly on the ground, looking ashamed.
"The king, it was a momentary negligence in his humble duties, and General Zhao cannot be blamed for this matter."
The lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the city gate saw that Zhao Yun took all the responsibility on him, and he quickly stood up and pleaded guilty.
"Zhao Yun, as a guard, you neglected your duties, causing the gate to be almost broken, and the blame is hard to escape, but you have military merits, the official is demoted by one level, the cane is thirty, and the guilty meritorious service is made."
Zhang Zai looked at Zhao Yun, although he also understood that it was not Zhao Yun's fault alone, but the punishment that should be there must be there, otherwise what is the use of military regulations.
"My lord, now that we are employing people, can we write down this cane punishment first, and then punish it after the war is over?"
Xue Rengui on the side interceded for Zhao Yun, although he and Zhao Yun did not have much friendship, but now they are at war with the Jin army, there must be a general to command, although now they are still enough, but once Yuan Shao is repulsed, if you want to occupy the entire territory of Youzhou, you must have the assistance of several generals, and he intends to let Zhao Yun stay as his deputy general, it is better to sell personal favors.
Zhang Zai thought for a moment and said, "Since Xue Qing intercedes for you, the cane responsibility will be liquidated after the war is over." ”
"King Xie." Zhao Yun thanked him.
After rearranging the defense, Zhang Zai and the others returned to Guannai.
After this incident, Zhang Zai also had some reflections, Xue Rengui had mentioned it at the beginning, this matter had to be discussed with them, it may have been smooth sailing, he seemed to have some problems with his mentality, he underestimated Tian Feng and others, and did not take Xue Rengui's words to heart, resulting in Tian Feng almost being succeeded by Tian Feng today.
Zhang Zai secretly warned himself that he could no longer be so proud in the future, not to take the ancients in his eyes, and simply make amends, it was not too late, and now he has not caused a catastrophe, so he will wake up in time.
"Sir, Fengxiao, do you have a plan to crack the Jin army's stealing of the city?"
After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with countless strategies, and then vetoed them, and in the end, Zhang Zai had no feasible way but to ask the two of them for advice.
Guo Jia and the others thought for a while, they didn't have any good plans for a while, and finally, Guo Jia said: "King, the minister has a way. ”
"What's the solution?" Zhang Zai's eyes lit up and asked.
"Paint the tiger with the cat."
Zhang Zai's eyes froze slightly, and he asked, "Feng Xiao is saying that we are also going to harass the Jin army?" ”
Guo Jia nodded, this was the best way he could think of, the two sides fought for endurance. Although Yuan Shao had an army of 200,000, the front army was only tens of thousands, which was enough to make them lose their combat power in a few days.
Zhang Zai kept thinking about the possibility of Guo Jiahua, he had the advantage of a general, and he had a great advantage over Yuan Shao by charging into battle or camp, even if he encountered a field battle with a small force, he was not worthy of Yuan Shao.
Wang Meng, who was on the side, saw that Zhang Zai didn't say anything, and also said: "If the king wants to hold on, the minister also has an idea." ”
"What is your plan, sir?" Zhang Zai looked at Wang Meng in surprise, Guo Jia's countermeasures were already a good strategy, but he didn't expect that Wang Meng would have a clever plan.
"If the king wants to hold on, he only needs to hollow out the open space in front of the gate and bury some sharp stakes in it."
Zhang Zai's eyes lit up after hearing this, although Wang Meng's strategy was a little troublesome, it still had a great effect on preventing the Jin army from sneaking through.
Moreover, there is no conflict between the two of them, they can be used together, and Zhang Zai made a decision in his heart in an instant, he wanted Yuan Shao to also taste the taste of being harassed by the channel.
At this time, in the territory of Zhuo County, Youzhou.
A cavalry of about 5,000 people suddenly appeared in the wilderness, it was Luo Cheng, who had disappeared for a day, they went from Bauhinia Pass, all the way to the east, day and night, avoiding the big city, and finally arrived in Zhuo County.
Luo Cheng grew up in Youzhou since he was a child, and he is very familiar with Youzhou, where he is rich and where he can rest, he has a general plan of action in his heart.
After starting from Zijing Pass, Luo Cheng began to carefully study Yuan Shao's possible transportation route, in the entire Youzhou territory, the most likely place for Yuan Shao to hoard grain is really Zhuo County, or it is in Youbei Pingji County.
Luo Cheng is not in a hurry, anyway, the war between the two countries has just begun, he has time to explore the Jin army's grain storage, and he also has the assistance of bad people, yes, before leaving, Zhang Zai specially informed him of the contact information of bad people in Youzhou.
According to the contact information that Zhang Zai told him, Luo Cheng got in touch with the bad people in Youzhou, and in this operation, Luo Cheng has the right to order the bad people and let them find out the information he needs.
To Luo Cheng's surprise, the matter turned out to be unusually smooth, and the bad people came with the news half a day later, and the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army were hoarded in the granary in Zhuoxian County.
However, hearing is false, Luo Cheng always feels that the news is too smooth, in fact, even the bad people feel that something is wrong, and the accuracy of the news depends on them to verify it personally.
According to the information of the bad people, this afternoon, there will be a group of soldiers and horses escorting grain and grass from Zhuo County to Juyong Pass, and the general who escorts the grain and grass is just an unknown general.
Time passed, and soon it was time for the information to be provided, Luo Cheng had already ambushed them on the way they had to go, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate, once the Jin army transporting grain appeared, Luo Cheng would not hesitate to kill them, so that the grain and grass would be burned.
Not long after, the scouts sent by Luo Cheng came to report that there was a team of about 1,000 people, escorting a large amount of grain to the direction of Juyong Pass.
When Luo Cheng heard the news, he pointed a spear in his hand, and five thousand people rushed towards the south like ordinary hungry wolves, aiming directly at the Jin army's grain transportation team.
The standard configuration of the cavalry of the Tang State is one person and two horses, and each horse is equipped with a saddle and stirrups, so Luo Cheng and others do not care about horsepower, and start to gallop with all their strength directly after more than ten miles.
"Boom!"
Ten thousand war horses galloped at the same time, but it was a rare scene, the horse's hooves rolled up the boundless loess, covering the sky and the sun, the momentum was huge, it was simply shaking the mountains, thrilling, ten miles away, you could feel the shaking of the ground.
Luo Cheng and the others carried the billowing yellow smoke head-on, and the murderous aura around them was condensed, even if they were ten miles away, they could feel it, but the soldiers who escorted the food did not panic in the slightest, but seemed to be ready for battle, clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared in the direction of Luo Cheng and others in the north, and at the same time, arrows were sent into the sky.
