When the tiger is doing something wrong, you need to tell the tiger that you can't do it; When a pig is doing something wrong, you'd better slaughter the pig first. Instead of following a pig around and putting his life in the hands of the pig, it is better to slaughter the pig and support a leader who is not a pig.

When Tian Liang was summoned by Jia Xu, he couldn't stand still, he was beaten down three times on the city wall last night, and he was slightly injured, and he was sleepy. After Jia Xu summoned Tian Liang, he asked him to sit down quickly, poured a bowl of medicinal wine for Tian Liang, and let Tian Liang drink it. After Tian Liang drank the medicinal wine, he felt a fever in his stomach, and after a while, the tiredness of his body was dispelled some.

"Master, this medicinal wine is a good thing! How can I use something so good? ”

Tian Liang said this flatteredly, and he didn't dare to look at Jia Xu when he spoke.

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "No matter how good things are, isn't it a waste to put them away?" Tian Liang, I want you to help me do something. ”

Tian Liang immediately said, "Master, please command." ”

Jia Xu said: "Kill Zhang Ji." ”

Tian Liang's whole body tensed, and then said, "Yes." ”

Tian Liang's life was Jia Xu's, when he was twelve years old, he was almost dying of hunger, and it was Jia Xu who picked him up, gave him food, and clothed him. Without Jia Xu, there would be no Tian Liang today, so no matter what Jia Xu asks him to do, he will do it, and now Tian Liang is the deputy captain of Zhang Ji's guards, and it is not difficult to kill Zhang Ji.

Jia Xu nodded, looked at Tian Liang with satisfaction, and then said: "After noon, Zhang Ji will inevitably order to storm the city again. This time, they will concentrate their forces to attack only one gate, and the defenders of the city have already been prepared, and Zhang Ji will not be able to capture the city in a short time. In order to boost morale, Zhang Ji will definitely go to the city to personally command the soldiers to attack the city, and when he is within the range of the Jingzhou archers, you will find a good time to shoot him. At that time, Zhang Ji's death can be blamed on the Jingzhou army, and it will be said that he died of a heavy arrow, do you understand? ”

Tian Liang knelt on the ground and saluted Jia Xu: "Don't worry, Tian Liang will not disappoint the master." ”

Downstairs in the city, Ma Hong and Pang Tong walked side by side, Ma Hong looked at Pang Tong's energetic appearance, and rubbed his slightly aching eyes and said: "It was so noisy last night, you can still sleep so full, what a pig!" ”

Pang Tong smiled: "What are you worried about, because I know that this city will not be breached." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly, no longer said anything, but took the lead in climbing the city wall, and the city wall was half leaning against the wall, looking thoughtful. He saw Ma Hong and Pang Tong ascending the tower, so he beckoned them over.

After Ma Hong and Pang Tong walked to Kuai Yue's side and saluted him, Ma Hong said: "Sir, last night Zhang Jijun first attacked the south gate, then attacked the east and west gates at the same time, and finally attacked the north gate, so he must have put all his troops into it!" ”

Kuai Yue looked at Ma Hong with some surprise and said, "Didn't you stay in the mansion last night to rest?" How do you know the state of the battle? ”

Ma Hong said with a smile: "I didn't fall asleep last night, but I saw the soldiers running back and forth on the street, first running to the south gate, and finally running to the north gate, and there were shouts of killing at the east and west gates, so I guessed it." ”

Kuai Yue said: "The Xiliang army can't capture the city this time, is there any intention to retreat, I guess they will attack again, they won't wait too long." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Then since Mr. knows what Xiliang Army will do next, why don't you strike first?" ”

Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Are you saying that now you want to lead an army to harass the Xiliang army and disrupt their deployment?" ”

Ma Hong said: "I think that I only need to send a team of cavalry to rush out of the city gate, make a big noise, and make the Xiliang army think that we are going to attack again, so that they have no time to correct, and then they can disrupt their deployment." ”

Kuai Yue nodded and said, "The strategy is a good strategy, but there is no way to implement it?" ”

Ma Hong asked puzzledly, "Why is that?" ”

Kuai Yue pointed to a group of soldiers who were resting on the city wall and said: "These soldiers have been tired all night, and they don't have much combat power anymore, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that now I can't find a brave general to lead the cavalry and rush out, General Liu Pan is too tired to stand up, and Liu Hu is too young, I don't worry." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "What Mr. said is very true. ”

If Ma Hong was a military advisor, he would not let Liu Hu lead his troops out, because Ma Hong and Liu Hu had a deep relationship, knowing that Liu Hu had a few catties and a few taels, Liu Hu had a short temper and a short circuit in his brain, and it was easy to do things out of the ordinary, and now it seems that Liu Hu has no cohesion in this army, and it is indeed difficult to complete this task.

Pang Tong said at this time: "It seems that Mr. now wants to fight the Xiliang army immediately. ”

Kuai Yue said: "Although our army is tired, it is easier to defend the city than to attack it. ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "Then let's talk about a plan next, and Mr. will see if it is feasible." ”

Kuai Yue nodded. Pang Tong said: "Instead of forcing the Xiliang army to fight, it is better to seduce them to fight, we just need to do what they like, isn't the current Xiliang army in need of grain and grass the most?" Then our army took out some grain and grass and put it under the city, and declared that our army was afraid of the Xiliang army and was willing to hand over the grain and grass to make peace with it. At this time, the Xiliang army will definitely rush up and come up to grab grain and grass, and at that time, our army will suddenly attack, even if Zhang Ji doesn't want to fight, he will have to fight. ”

After hearing this, Kuai Yue was overjoyed, and he clapped his hands and said, "Pang Tong, this is really a good plan. ”

Ma Hong pondered for a moment and said secretly: This is indeed a good strategy, this strategy may not work for a high-quality army, but it should be effective for the Xiliang army that burns and loots. Pang Tong's brain is really turning fast, is it possible that I am a human being in two lives, and I have knowledge that I don't have in this era, can't I compare to Pang Tong? ”

Kuai Yue had already found a team of soldiers to let him go to the granary to transport grain out, at this time Ma Hong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked to Kuai Yue's side and said, "Sir, listen to me first." ”

Kuai Yue said: "You say. ”

Ma Hong said: "It's not enough to have food, we have to get some live animals, take some chickens, horses, cattle and sheep and other domestic animals, drive them out of the city, and let the Xiliang army rob them, these living animals will attract them to grab food." ”

Kuai Yue laughed and patted Ma Hong's shoulder and said, "Good boy, good, good." ”

An hour later, Zhang Xiu, who was resting in the camp tent, suddenly heard the noise outside the camp tent, picked up the steel gun at the bedside and jumped up, ran out of the camp tent, and said loudly: "What's the matter?" Is the enemy coming? ”

The guard smiled: "General, it's a good thing! The Jingzhou army was frightened and was about to surrender, so they transported grain out of the city to us? ”

Zhang Xiu looked stunned, turned on his horse, and ran out of the camp tent to see what was going on. When Zhang Xiu came to the outside of the camp, he saw a large number of cattle and sheep running outside the city, and many Xiliang soldiers had already run out to snatch the cattle and sheep without obeying the military order. Zhang Xiu also saw that there was grain and grass piled up under the tower of the city, and some soldiers had already run to the city to carry the grain and grass, but the Jingzhou army did not make any movement to it, and let the Xiliang soldiers grab the grain and grass. When the starving Xiliang soldiers saw that the Jingzhou army did not attack, they really thought that the Jingzhou army was about to surrender to the general, so they all rushed up to the city tower to grab grain and grass.

Zhang Xiu's palms holding the gun were sweating, and he secretly said something bad in his heart. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly ran out of the camp and shouted: "General Zhang ordered, the whole army is on standby, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

Zhang Xiu reacted instantly, Le Ma blocked the gate of the camp, pierced the soldier who was about to rush out with a shot in his right hand, picked up the soldier with his right hand, and shouted: "Whoever dares to take a step forward will be killed!" ”

Zhang Xiu was known for his prestige in the army, and his loud shout actually made the soldiers who were about to rush out of the camp stop. But more than 2,000 soldiers had already rushed to the foot of the city and began to grab food, and those soldiers had already thrown away their weapons in order to grab more food, and now they were defenseless.

Although Liu Pan was very tired, he was overjoyed when he saw this scene, and ordered to open the city gate and personally lead the army to rush out of the city gate, and began to massacre the Xiliang soldiers who robbed the grain.

Zhang Xiu waved his gun and was about to pull the soldiers forward to rescue, but was stopped by Jia Xu. At this time, Zhang Ji, who was woken up by the noise outside, ran out of the camp, and after watching the scene below the city for a long time, he shouted loudly: "The soldiers who violated the military order were going to die, and there was no need for General Ben to save them." Listen to you, whoever dares to violate the military order next will be killed! ”

The soldiers said in unison: "Yes! Be! Be! ”

Zhang Ji said: "The whole army listens to the order, reorganizes the formation, and after half an hour, the whole army will attack!" ”
