Chapter Eighty-Six: Sima Yi's Clever Tricks
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, the two of them knew each other when they were young, and their relationship was irreversible, and they were like brothers. Zhang Liao vomited blood and fainted www.biquge.info Gao Shun was angry and took the initiative to ask for help, but to his surprise, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang shook their heads in unison and rejected his proposal.
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead my troops into battle to attack the city, I want to see what kind of tricks and tricks those local chickens and dogs in Jinyang City have in addition to some unpopular conspiracies!" ”
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "Feng Xian, I didn't agree to the Northern Expedition and annexed the state that day, if it weren't for your repeated insistence, we wouldn't have fallen into the situation of riding a tiger today." Yesterday, I watched from afar, and the guards of Jinyang City commanded well, dispatched well, not in a hurry, and very calm. Don't you see that? We were not welcomed by the people of the state. Although our army has not committed any crimes against the people along the way, no local force has responded to our army until now. Therefore, either under Han Junjiwei, no one dares to come forward. Either it is caused by Han Jun's kindness, and the people's hearts are attached, and the people are united. If the former is fine, if the latter is the latter, not only will it be impossible for our army to break the city in a short time, but there will even be a danger of annihilation! ”
Lu Bu glared and said: "Uncle Xiu wants to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige." Forgive him Han Jun is just a yellow-mouthed child, he is lucky enough to win a few battles, how can he be convinced and respected by the whole state? You and I are all natives of Bingzhou, born and raised here, how can they not compare to that foreign Huangkou child? ”
Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Having said that, today's annexation is no longer the annexation of the past, the bitter cold in the past and now prosperous, although it may not all be Han Jun's work, but ordinary people will inevitably be grateful to Han Jun." In contrast, we are more like outsiders. Feng Xian, can you see what I mean? ”
Lu Bu snorted and said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, Uncle Zhi, don't forget, we are begging for thieves, we are justifiable, and we have righteousness in hand, how can we give up halfway?" If that's the case, it will only make the world laugh at us as gutless rats. I, Lu Bu, will only move forward bravely, and will never cowardly take half a step back! What's more, Wen Yuan's life and death are unpredictable now, if I don't avenge him, what kind of face will I, Lu Bu, have to meet my sons and daughters in the future? ”
Zhang Yang sighed weakly, and could only wave his hand helplessly: "That's it, that's it, who let you save my life, and it's because of my recommendation that I have my current official position." Since you resolutely refuse to agree to withdraw from the army, then I can only risk this life to gamble with you! ”
Lu Bu smiled confidently, "We, we will never lose!" ”
"Report! Report to the general, thousands of black shadows have appeared on Jinyang City! ”
The panicked voice of the sentinel outside the tent made Lu Bu suddenly even more angry, and he clenched Fang Tian's halberd and gritted his teeth and said, "This group of rats who can't see the light, take me to meet them in person!" ”
"Bong first!"
Zhang Yang hurriedly stopped, "I can't see anything in the dark night, so I dare to attack for fear of being ambushed." It's just a repetition of the old tricks, just ignore it, wait until the dawn, and then settle accounts with them! ”
Lu Bu hesitated, although his anger was unquenchable, he still gritted his teeth and nodded.
On Jinyang City, Guo Huai stared at the Hanoi military camp tent in the distance with a nervous face, took a deep breath and asked Sima Yi, who looked indifferent, "Zhongda, how sure are you?" ”
Sima Yiyun smiled lightly and replied, "Less than fifty percent." ”
Guo Huai gritted his teeth and said: "There are not enough soldiers and horses to defend the city, if this plan fails, the pressure will inevitably increase when defending the city tomorrow." To be on the safe side, why don't you withdraw them? ”
Sima Yi shook his head and said firmly: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, and the enemy is outnumbered. If you hesitate to look ahead and hesitate, you will only miss the opportunity. Eight hundred traps in the camp are not terrible, after all, they are all mortal bodies, and the sword will hurt if they are added, and they will die if they bleed too much. However, those ladder shaft railings crash with a giant hammer are not afraid of slashing with an axe. If this plan is successful, Jinyang City will be as stable as Mount Tai. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit, Boji can rest assured, in my inference, Lu Bu Pifu Zhang Yangyong will definitely not prevent it! ”
More than 1,000 Jinyang death squads dressed in black, carrying things that ignited fire, approached the Hanoi army's camp lightly.
The scene just now made the Hanoi military camp jump for a long time, and it was easy to return to calm, and most of the people dozed off and fell asleep again by relying on their weapons. The patrol soldiers of the patrol camp were also at their most sleepy at this time, although they were still walking, but they obviously had lost their previous spirit, and they were weak, and many of them were walking forward mechanically with their eyes closed, and they never thought that the secluded army that only dared to stay in the city and play with moths would dare to come to their camp to die.
Tossed for most of the night, even if Lu Bu was beaten with iron, he was inevitably a little sleepy at this time, but the sudden shouting from outside the tent made him jump up, and his eyes burst into flames, grabbed Fang Tian's painting halberd and strode out.
"Let's go to the water! Come and put out the fire! ”
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Lu Bu looked at the sky-high fire in the direction of the baggage camp, his eyes were dark and he almost fainted, his eyes were about to burst into a roar, and he ran in the direction of the fire.
However, it was too late, the tongue of fire that rushed to the sky, **** the dark night sky, made Lu Bu's face darker than the night.
"Guts and rats, despicable villains, dare to fight me head-on!"
Lu Bu ran aimlessly, but he couldn't see the shadow of an enemy, so he could only roar in vain to vent his inner anger.
The goal of the death squad was very clear, and after completing the task, they immediately turned around and left, without any love, and by the time the Hanoi army reacted, they had already swaggered into Jinyang City.
The night wind is not strong, but the fire is extremely fierce, and that is because every arson of the Youhe army carries a large amount of fierce fire oil, which can not be extinguished by a few basins of water at all.
Finally, when the day came, the fire finally became much smaller thanks to the efforts of all the Hanoi troops. But in the midst of the devastation, all the siege equipment was reduced to a pile of ashes. And for the besieging side, it is almost a declaration of siege failure.
Lu Bu looked at the direction of Jinyang City in a daze, his eyes were as wooden as he had never been, his hands were bloody, and his face was even more pale.
Zhang Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he had some regrets, but he was even more fortunate that Lu Bu should not insist on attacking the city anymore.
Sending troops to Bingzhou was not Zhang Yang's idea in the first place. If it weren't for Lu Bu's insistence, he would never have been able to be an enemy of Han Jun. On the one hand, it was because Han Jun's undefeated war history made him afraid, and on the other hand, it was because he didn't want to let the villagers of Bingzhou return to the years of hunger and cold.
"I don't believe it, I'm not reconciled!"
Lu Bu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, his voice revealing infinite tragedy. Although everyone in the world says that "Lu Bu is among the people, and the red rabbit is among the horses", in fact, Lu Bu's military talent is actually very limited, and he himself is unwilling to admit it. This also led to Lu Bu, who thinks highly of himself, and is arrogant in terms of inferiority.
Zhang Yang sighed and muttered: "Fengxian, now that the siege equipment has been lost, it is impossible for our army to capture Jinyang within three days. Therefore, it is imperative that we seize the time to withdraw and annex the state, and we must not hesitate, otherwise once the reinforcements arrive, it will be impossible for us to retreat with all our bodies! ”
"Retreat? Where to retreat? Where can you retreat? Do you think that if we withdraw from the state, we will be able to easily let us go when Han Jun recovers? Attacking Hanoi from the annexation of the state, condescending and dominating, how can we defend it? ”
Lu Bu shook his head blankly, gritted his teeth and said, "If the resistance is combined, the mourner wins!" Although Jinyang City is high, it will definitely not be able to stop the angry flames of the children! In my opinion, when you build a siege ladder on the spot, do your best, and fight to the death, you may not be able to capture Jinyang City! ”
Zhang Yang helplessly glanced at Lu Bu, who still refused to give up his illusions, and rubbed his head with a headache and said: "Jinyang City is five feet high, how can the cloud ladder built in a hurry be of great use?" Moreover, now that the morale of our army is low, where can we fight to the death? Peping, don't be like a stuffy gourd and don't speak, you tell the truth, is it still possible to capture Jinyang City now? ”
Gao Shun said bluntly: "Impossible! ”
Lu Bu glared at Gao Shun in annoyance and scolded, "Coward! ”
Gao Shun, who was scolded, did not change his face at all, and said in a deep voice: "There are great talents in Jinyang City, full of clever strategies, and good offensive and defensive methods, it is definitely not easy to match!" If the siege equipment was available, it might be possible to give it a try, but now it is impossible! ”
Lu Bu wanted to get angry, but he still held back, and asked with a muffled snort: "Then what do you say?" ”
Gao Shun replied: "Go to Huguan!" ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, but then it dimmed again, shook his head and said: "Huguan is a hundred miles away from Jinyang. Most of our troops are foot soldiers, and the marching speed is slow, but I am afraid that before we reach Huguan, we will be caught up by Han Jun Xiaoer's cavalry. ”
Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to lead the camp to break off the army!" Kill until the last soldier is killed, and never let the enemy ride over! ”
Lu Bu couldn't bear to say: "Blocking the cavalry with foot soldiers is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car and bringing about your own destruction......"
Gao Shun said categorically: "Hundreds of my people in exchange for the peace of the army, Shun, it's an honor!" ”
Lu Bu hesitated and paced back and forth for two steps, and finally slapped Gao Shun on the shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: "Peping, if you can't do anything, you must not force it, everything is about your life!" After Yuan Shao and I attack back and forth, and break through the Huguan, I will personally lead the army to meet you! ”
