After the two parties agreed, they each returned to the camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Shu was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't think of why, so he had to order: "Light more open flames at night, patrol day and night, and beware of Zhang thief's sneak attack!" ”
"The last general will understand!" A group of people also held their breath, full of hope to do a big job after two days of rest.
Not to mention that Yuan Jun was on guard day and night, Zhang Min summoned Xu Huang as soon as he turned around, "Gongming, I have something to do for you." ”
"Please command, my lord!" Xu Huang was overjoyed, this was the first time he had been summoned alone.
"I'm going to set off with the army tonight, leaving only five hundred people and horses for you, you have to hold the camp, make a big noise, so that Yuan Shu on the opposite side has always thought that our army is here, and the decisive battle will be fought in three days, you will leave early in the morning, and the horse will come to Shouchun, and the matter will be successfully completed." Zhang Min smiled, "How about Gongming, can you handle it?" ”
"The last will understand! Mission completion guaranteed! Xu Huang didn't say a word, and answered.
"Okay, you go down and pick up five hundred elite soldiers, and take most of the military horses away, and once the matter is done, hurry up and get on the horse and run." Zhang Min sighed secretly: It's better to be a general like Xu Huang, what he says, never discounted.
As soon as it was dark, Zhang Min took the lead and set off quietly with the army.
"Say it's going to be a duel in three days! Now where is this going? Lu Lingqi covered her little head with her hands full of puzzlement, sat on the horse, and muttered to herself intermittently: "As soon as I turned around and set up camp, I got it done, but I set off secretly, is it planning to take advantage of the night to sneak attack Yuan Jun again?" No wonder he is always called a thief, this behavior is not a hero. ”
The little girl peeked at the man in front of her, and her tangled left hand pulled her right hand.
The army walked quietly in the middle of the night, and Lu Lingqi suddenly realized that something was wrong, it was said that she should have arrived at the Yuan army camp a long time ago! Looking back by the moonlight, I saw a bright light far behind me from a distance, and it looked like it was Yuan Ying, who had walked by! General Lu kicked the horse's belly and hurried forward in two steps, "Idiot, we ran over, Yuan Jun is behind!" ”
Zhang Min also looked back at it from a distance, but he was relieved, "It's okay to pass!" ”
"Didn't you tell Yuan Highway that the decisive battle would be fought in three days! Where is this going? Lu Lingqi looked back and forth, and couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, "Even if you want to take advantage of the darkness to give Yuan Jun a moment, it's too late for us to turn around and rush back!" ”
"Let's go directly to Shouchun, ignore Yuan Shu, and let him wait on the highway!" Zhang Min smiled proudly, "Three more days, Shouchun City is already in my bag, hehe, let's go!" ”
"Liar!" The little girl glared back hatefully.
It was indeed a liar, deceived Yuan Shu and others on the road, and asked Xu Huang to guard the empty camp with three or five hundred people, pretending that the army was still here, and the others bypassed the Yuan army camp together and went to Shouchun at full speed.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and when it was the decisive moment as agreed, Yuan Shu exhausted his army and came to the center of the camp, waiting for Zhang Min to fight, and he didn't see any movement on the other side for a while, and couldn't help but send people to find out the news.
"I think that thief must be afraid of the lord's prestige, and ran away early in the morning!" A general couldn't help but guess, but no one was echoed by others, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, and the other side was too quiet.
The spy ran back from afar, "Lord, the thief's camp is empty, and the thief doesn't know where to go!" ”
Yuan Shu suddenly felt that his whole heart was empty, and after a while, he suddenly became angry, pulled the spy in front of him off his horse with a whip, and shouted: "Who of you knows, where did he go to the thief?" Where did the tens of thousands of troops in Xuzhou go? ”
Everyone was silent, before today, the Xuzhou military camp was still beating drums, who knew that this kind of thing would happen.
Another spy returned, rolled into the saddle and dismounted, and clasped his hands into fists: "Lord, I found a new horseshoe print, which was left not long ago, and the direction is to Xuzhou, and it is very likely that Zhang Thief and his men will withdraw at night." ”…,
Everyone was overjoyed, and their mouths congratulated again and again, "The lord's prestige is prosperous, and the thief is invincible!" ”
Yuan Shu was stunned, and then he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but be a little proud, and speculated: "The total number of soldiers in Xuzhou is only 100,000, and the total number of Zhang thieves in the direction of Xiapi is no less than 80,000, presumably there are not many people in Pengcheng and Guangling, and Ji Ling and Chen Ji should also take both places!" This thief must have gotten the news and hurried back to rescue, everyone, catch up with me, I want to kill all the way back to Xiapi, take Xuzhou, and rescue the Son of Heaven! ”
"The lord is wise!" When everyone thought about it, they couldn't help but boost their morale. Urging the soldiers and horses to chase along the horseshoe prints, they chased until it was dark, but they were dumbfounded, and the horseshoe prints on the ground made a bend and began to turn back!
What is the situation, Yuan Shu and his generals were dumbfounded, they couldn't say why, they had no choice but to camp on the spot, and they could only wait until dawn to make plans.
Yuan Shu was just about to rest, and a general broke into the tent, "Lord, General Ji's paperwork!" ”
"Read!" Yuan Shu was bumpy on the horse for a day, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
"The Lord atons for his sins! The last general led 50,000 troops and horses to attack Pengcheng, only because the Runan Yellow Turban threw himself to Xuzhou first, and when the last general arrived, the defenders of Pengcheng were no less than 30,000, and they were eager to retreat to Yuzhou. ”
"Rubbish!" Yuan Shu was completely sleepy, got up and walked back and forth, "Is there any movement over there in Guangling?" ”
"There's no news yet."
"Get down!" Yuan Shu drove people away, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
But it was said that Xu Huang took five hundred men and horses, slowed down all the way and deliberately hung Yuan Jun, feeling that it was almost over, and was ready to bypass Yuan Jun and fly to Shouchun, seeing that it was getting late, he planned to rest in the forest for half a night before leaving.
"General, Yuan Jun is camped not far away!" A spy crept back.
"I'll take a look." Xu Huang was a little worried, afraid that he would be detected if he was too close, "You guys take a step back." ”
Xu Huang took three or two people to touch back, quietly observed, saw that Yuan Jun camped on the spot, there was no intention of chasing, couldn't help but put his mind at ease, was about to return, but his heart was shocked, Yuan Jun actually camped at the edge of the forest, most of the feet are dry grass, now the autumn is getting stronger, the weather is dry, it is a good season to set fire!
Xu Huang was a little stunned, and made a choice in his heart, Yuan Jun on the other side also had 40,000 people, and they only had 500 on their side, the safest thing to do was not to think so much, and hurry up and run in the direction of Shouchun. But is such a good opportunity just now? Xu Huang touched the big axe on his back, squeezed his fist, and it!
"Let's go, go back first!" Several people secretly retreated again.
Xu Huang gathered everyone together, suppressed his voice, and said sonorously: "Brothers, do you want to live forever!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and replied: "Yes!" ”
"There's a chance now!" Xu Huang's eyes are like a leopard waiting for its prey, breathtaking, "The Yuan army behind us is camped at the edge of the forest, with hay on all sides, and a fire will burn it, ensuring that they will be in a mess, we will take the opportunity to cover up the past, we will definitely be able to win a big victory, dare not go with me!" ”
"Dare!" The crowd whispered.
"Okay, rest in place and do it in the middle of the night!"
Yuan Junkong waited for three days, and chased after him for another day, he couldn't help but be physically and mentally exhausted, and everyone slept deeply, and stayed until the middle of the night, and even the people guarding the camp couldn't open their eyes, leaning on the side and falling asleep.
A ghostly fire-like light lit up not far away, and only a soft shout was heard: "Do it!" Suddenly, the sky was full of whistling rockets, falling in Yuan's camp, and in the blink of an eye, the fire was filled.
Yuan Jun, who woke up from a dream, actually bombed the camp directly! Running around without saying, without waiting for someone to kill, these sergeants who were still in a dream began to kill each other, no wonder, three times in a row, the enemy who was killed last time was still wearing the same armor, this time it was even more difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, as a last resort, the panicked soldiers in order to survive, they cut people when they saw someone. …,
"Kill!" Seeing that it was an opportunity, Xu Huang roared, rushed out with five hundred cavalry, and clashed back and forth in the camp of the Yuan army.
After a while, Xu Huang didn't dare to chase after him, and restrained everyone from leaving.
At this time, in Shouchun City, Mi Zhu was calling Mi Fang to him, "Zifang, go and gather the servants, take the guys, and go to the West City Gate!" ”
The Mi family was copied is fake, and the more than 100 servants brought by Mi Zhu who fled are also fake, these domestic servants are all dressed as elite soldiers in the Xuzhou army, and these people are summoned to go to the city gate together, doesn't that mean that the Xuzhou army is coming over and wants to steal the city gate! Mi Fang thought she had misheard, "Big brother, do you say it again?" ”
"I said, the hussar general, the champion Hou and the Xuzhou Assassin Shi have killed together, and they are ambushed outside the city, and we will steal the city gate and let him in while the sky is still dark!" Mi Zhu couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and finally laughed heartily for a few days, "Go quickly, I'm afraid it's too late for our brother-in-law to wait!" ”
"Let's go!" Mi Fang was also overjoyed, her heart was full of questions, and she didn't have time to ask, so she ran out.
After a while, everyone gathered together, Mi Zhu personally took the lead, and the group avoided patrolling the night, and sneaked to the city gate not far away, as on weekdays, only thirty or fifty at night on the city gate, and at dawn it was full of sleepiness, and they were all listless and leaning against the corner of the wall half asleep.
"Zifang, up!" Mi Zhu gave an order, and Mi Fang stepped forward with people.
"Who, what?" A city gate captain half-squinted his eyes and asked defenselessly, the news of the defeat in front had already reached Shouchun, but I don't know the specifics, and no one cares about it, thirty or fifty thousand people with the banner of 'Zhang' are on the way over, it should be the general Zhang Xun's subordinates who were ordered to return to Shouchun. And the Xuzhou army doesn't know where to mess around, maybe they will accept it when they see it, and they have already returned to Xuzhou.
"Die!" Mi Fang was too lazy to speak, and stabbed people directly with a short knife from behind, and then went straight to the city gate, Mi Zhu followed closely behind and lit a torch, ran up to the city tower, and shook it three times outside the city, and saw a black crowd of people, suddenly emerging from afar, flying towards this side.
It was Zhang Min and his Xuzhou soldiers!
