Chapter 512: Bait
"However, the last general still feels it"
Before Wen Chou could say anything more, Yuan Shao was already displeased and glared at him, "If you really can't bear it, you can go and sacrifice instead of Han Meng." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Wen Chou's body was shocked, and he was completely silent, and he didn't say a word.
A few days later, the Zhou army camped.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the excitement and excitement are circulating wildly, and the faces of every general are burning with an expression of victory in sight.
At the top of the list, Zhang Yuan was holding Han Meng's secret letter in his hand, and his young face was also full of surprise.
This is a letter sent to him by Han Meng's henchmen Xingcheng late yesterday night.
Han Meng said in the letter that Yuan Shao was at the end of his rope, and he asked his good ministers to choose a tree to live on, and would open the west gate tomorrow to surrender and help Zhang Yuan take Yecheng in one fell swoop.
Most of the elite generals under Yuan Shao's command have been defeated, and now the generals in Yecheng who can support the scene are nothing more than Wen Chou and Han Meng, it can be said that Han Meng is the second largest general after Wen Chou.
If this person surrenders, the city will be broken.
"Li Si, do you think this Han Meng is a real or fake fall." Zhang Yuan was not as excited as the generals, and looked at Li Si, who had been silent.
Li Siwei groaned and said lightly: "Han Meng is Yuan Shao's general, Yuan Shao treats him well, now that the momentum of Yecheng has not yet reached the last moment, he will surrender at this time, is it a little early." ”
Apparently, Lees's words showed his skepticism.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and his eyes looked at Zhang He again.
Zhang He pondered Zhang Jiu, shook his head and said: "Although Han Meng's strength is far inferior to Yan Liangwen's ugliness, he followed Yuan Shao very early, and he is considered Yuan Shao's confidant general, and it is not impossible to say that he will surrender, but as Mr. Li Si said, Yecheng has not yet reached the end of the mountain, and I am skeptical that he will betray Yuan Shao at this time." ”
Zhang He has worked with Han Meng for many years, so he naturally knows this person very well, and his suspicions are even more important than Li Si, which immediately calmed down the excitement of the generals a lot.
"If Han Meng, the bastard, is not sincere in surrendering, then there must be deception in this, and what tricks does Yuan Laogou want to play." Li Dingguo scratched his head.
"If I guessed correctly, Han Meng's book must be Yuan Shao's plan to attack the west, I think the old thief can't keep it and wants to escape." Zhang Yuan smiled coldly and threw the letter on the desk.
Yuan Shao wanted to escape.
The generals were all shocked, looking at each other, puzzled for a while.
Li Si's expression moved, but he had already realized it, and sneered: "What Zhou Gong said is good, Yuan Shao's foreign aid is hopeless, and the internal people are in chaos, he must be afraid of repeating the mistakes of Liyang, and wants to let the city go." As for Han Meng's fraudulent surrender, most of them wanted to lure our army's heavy troops to the west gate, but the old thief took the opportunity to escape from the other gate. ”
Li Si's words of the supreme wise man woke everyone up.
"Very good, Yuan Lao Thief wants to play, then I will play with him." Zhang Yuan sneered, brushed his hand and said: "Reply to Han Meng, just say that my father promised his request to surrender, and tomorrow he will transfer heavy troops to Ximen according to the agreement, and accept him to surrender." ”
Zhang Yuan then ordered Li Si to write a reply and asked Han Meng's henchmen to bring him back to Yecheng.
……
The next day, late at night.
Tens of thousands of Zhou troops, under the cover of night, quietly assembled in the direction of the north gate like an undercurrent, and lined up to wait.
Zhang Yuan had already predicted that Han Meng was just Yuan Shao's bait, and the direction in which Yuan Shao really broke through must be one of the three gates in the north and southeast.
The south is already Zhang Yuan's territory, and Yuan Shao will not be stupid enough to break through from the south gate.
As for the direction of the East Gate, although you can flee to the direction of Nanpi to meet Yuan Xi, considering that Yuan Xi has fewer soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao will probably not choose this way.
Only in the north, Zhongshan and other counties still support Yuan Shao's rule, and there is a backing to Liangzhou, with the support of tens of thousands of troops, Yuan Shao is most likely to choose this way to break through.
Zhang Yuan expected that Yuan Shao would break through from the north gate.
As a result, Zhang Yuan secretly mobilized more than 30,000 elite infantry soldiers to block Yuan Shao's escape with absolute strength.
……
The night was deep, and I didn't realize that it was the second half of the night.
The time set by Han Meng to dedicate the door was approaching, and the blood of 30,000 soldiers was boiling, and they were all ready to fight, ready to end this protracted war with a happy killing.
In front of the Zhou army's camp, Zhang Yuan immediately crossed his sword, and his eagle eyes stared at the other side of the night, as if he could see through the void.
He seemed to be able to see the anxious faces in Yecheng.
The head of the North Gate.
Yuan Shao was also staring at the Zhou army camp, silent for a long time, with a complicated look on his determined face.
What you step on is Yecheng, but it is the core of the four states of Hebei.
Just over a year ago, he proudly announced the decision of the southern expedition here, led an army of 150,000 people, set off from this city, and went to the Central Plains, dreaming of dominating the world.
Who knows, today, more than a year later, he has not fallen to the point where he can't even hold this city.
"Heaven, what have I done wrong, is that humble thief destined to be my nemesis, I don't accept it, I don't accept it......"
Yuan Shao was looking up to ask the sky, but the soldiers on the left and right under his command were all excited, and they didn't look anxious.
The experience of Liyang City is too tragic, they are really afraid that Yecheng will become a hell on earth like Liyang, and Yuan Shao's decision to break through is equivalent to giving them hope to live.
But they know that tonight's breakthrough will be a bloody battle, and whether they can escape alive is still unknown.
"Lord, it's almost time, it's time to get out of the city, so as not to have a lot of long nights and dreams, and be suspected by Zhang Yuan." Frustrated reminded.
Yuan Shao's mind retracted, regained his composure, took a deep breath, and looked at Han Meng, "Zhong Yong, my Yuan family's qi number, it's up to you tonight." ”
Han Meng's blood immediately boiled, and he said angrily: "Don't worry, the lord will open the way ahead, and he will fight to the death to kill a bloody road for the lord, and the lord just needs to follow behind me." ”
"Well, go ahead." Yuan Shao patted Han Meng's shoulder, his eyes were full of trust, as if he had put his net worth and life in Han Meng's hands.
Han Meng then said no more, strode down the city, turned on his horse, glanced at the excited soldiers, and shouted generously: "Soldiers, the time has come to repay the kindness of the lord. ”
More than 10,000 soldiers and soldiers of Yuan were excited, and under the urging of the will to survive, they all mustered up courage and shouted for a bloody battle.
The north gate slowly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Han Meng pulled his horse and knife to kill first.
Behind him, 10,000 soldiers and horses also followed.
At the head of the city, Yuan Shao looked down at the city, watched Han Meng go away, watched the 10,000 soldiers disappear into the night one by one, and sighed secretly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
