Chapter 0812: Guo Jia's Scheme
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is very well guarded, as long as our reinforcements arrive at Pingyang Pavilion, the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely be able to know. Deng Sheng looked at the Northern Frontier Army that was gradually disappearing between the sky, and said suspiciously, "Could it be that the Northern Frontier Army intends to use this method to lure us out of the city?"www.biquge.info Isn't it stupid? ”
"Is Zhang Fei so stupid?" Gao Gan squinted his eyes, looked at the sun that was gradually slanting westward, and shook his head again and again, "Zhang Fei is too smart. He wants to eat our reinforcements and swallow us in one bite. Well, I granted his wish and let him eat until he could eat enough. Hurriedly sent scouts, followed behind the Northern Xinjiang Army, and carefully investigated. ”
"Gather 10,000 troops and prepare to follow me out of the city to kill Pingyang Pavilion." Gao Gan raised his hands and yelled, "I'm going to kill Zhang Fei......"
………………
Zhang Fei looked at the city in the distance from time to time, and then looked at Guo Jia in front of him, with a questioning expression.
"Hurry up." Guo Jia turned around abruptly and said loudly to Zhang Fei, "We have to rush to Pingyang Pavilion before dusk to surround the rebels." Hurry up......"
"Mr. Fengxiao......" Zhang Fei whipped down, the war horse neighed in pain, jumped up, and quickly caught up with Guo Jia, "Mr. Fengxiao, why don't you leave an army to surround White Horse City?" The high-ranking cadres will follow us and kill them. ”
"Does he dare to go out of town?" Guo Jia sneered, "I did this to lure him out of the city." He is not an idiot, can't he see it, and dare to go out of the city to die? ”
"Mr. Bonghyo, you've gone too far." Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "You left a few thousand men and horses to besiege the city, and the rest of the army retreated in turn, Gao Gan must suspect that you were lying to him, but he didn't dare to break through." What you're doing now looks fake, and the senior cadres know that their reinforcements are coming, and they are bound to take the risk of breaking through. Even if you might ambush him halfway, he'll have to fight to the death. We were attacked in front and behind the Pingyang Pavilion, and we couldn't encircle Yan Liang, and let Gao Gan run away, and we would get nothing. ”
Guo Jia looked at him, suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, Yide, I can show you." However, there is one thing you didn't expect, if Gao Gan wanted to break through now, he would not have held on to Baima before, and he could have withdrawn to Pingyang or simply to Yancheng before we surrounded Baima. ”
"Will the senior cadres definitely defend the white horse?" Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "Can he hold it?" Sooner or later, he will die on the white horse. No one wants to kill himself, and he will definitely run away. ”
"White horses are very important to the rebels. Gao Gan is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he will never leave the white horse and run away. Guo Jia looked at Zhang Fei, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said, "Don't despise your opponent, never, otherwise you will die a miserable death." ”
Zhang Fei asked puzzledly: "In that case, why does Mr. Fengxiao still do this?" ”
"Because I'm going to tell Gao Gan that his reinforcements have indeed arrived, and that he has a chance to defeat us with his reinforcements." Guo Jia showed a strange smile on his face, and continued to say to Zhang Fei, "Yide, the lord once told me that only by respecting your opponent can you defeat your opponent. ”
Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out, but he admired his eldest brother Li Yi very much, since the eldest brother told Mr. Fengxiao, it would definitely not be wrong.
………………
Yan Liang was furious, and his heart was extremely desperate. He was close to Liu Shaoqi, and let Zhang Fei, the tiger, bite it. Now the army is trapped in Pingyang, and it can't go away, and it can't be beaten and can't be beaten, and it's a dilemma.
"Zishan, let's ask Yuancai for help, let Yuancai break through overnight and attack Zhang Fei's back." Liu Shao was helpless, and persuaded in a low voice, "The army is trapped in Pingyang, and under the long battle, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, not only can it not support Baima, but even Yancheng and Fengqiu can't hold it." ”
Yan Liang looked at the sky-high fire in the distance, listening to the earth-shattering sound of fighting, and couldn't cry or laugh. I came to rescue Gao Gan, but now I am rescuing Gao Gan. Jokes, jokes. This face is considered to be lost home.
Liu Shao was speechless when he saw Yan Liang in pain, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, he proposed the strategy for this operation.
However, at this moment, the army is in danger, and it is not the time to cover up his mistakes, so he hurriedly persuaded again: "Zishan, is it still possible for us to hit the white horse?" Take advantage of the fierce battle with the Northern Frontier Army now, let Yuan Cai break through immediately. If this opportunity is missed, Yuan Cai and his army will die on the white horse. ”
"Okay." Although Yan Liang was also a little dissatisfied with Liu Shao's mistake, he made the final decision, Liu Shao just made a suggestion, and this matter could not be blamed entirely on him, so he waved his hand weakly and ordered the herald behind him: "Send someone to White Horse City quickly, and try every means to send a message to General Gao Gan, asking him to break through and join me immediately." ”
………………
In the early morning, Gao Gan received Yan Liang's letter, took all the nearly 20,000 troops out of the city quickly, and took advantage of the night to rush to Pingyang Pavilion, sixty miles away.
Zhang Fei immediately received the news, and then issued two orders in a row.
"Order Tai Shici to remove the siege and let Yan Liang get out."
"Order Liyi, Yu Ban, Yu Yao and others to withdraw from the battlefield, reorganize the army, prepare to encircle Gao Gan, and completely annihilate the rebels."
………………
The rebels were fighting to the death, and suddenly saw that the encirclement of the Northern Frontier Army had been torn apart, and suddenly thundered with joy and roared out.
Liu Shao, Yan Liang and others wanted to command the army to hold on until the arrival of Gao Gan, and then attack inside and outside, kill and retreat the Northern Xinjiang Army, and retreat together, but it backfired, and the soldiers who saw the hope of escape did not listen to the command at all, and ran away without their lives.
On the eve of dawn, tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army set out on the battlefield, like a giant waving his fists and smashing into the enemy.
Gao Gan and his more than 15,000 horses were immediately swallowed up by the earth-shattering waves set off by the Northern Frontier Army.
………………
Shanyang County, Yanzhou, Fangdongcheng.
Cao Chun and Xu Chu led 5,000 cavalry to Fangdong City, and Zhou Cang, Jian Yong and Yang Ping went out of the city to meet them.
Cao Chun was about thirty years old, not tall, fair-skinned, and looked polite, without the bravery and heroism of a general.
Cao Chun is Cao Ren's younger brother, he has been very smart since he was a child, he was filial piety at the age of fourteen, and he was a waiter at the Yellow Gate at the age of seventeen. Although his young Dezhi is directly related to the sponsorship of the former Taiwei Cao Song, it is not difficult to see Cao Chun's outstanding talent among the children of the Cao family.
In order to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield in Yanzhou, Cao Cao not only handed over all the 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to Cao Chun, but also gathered the personal guard cavalry of many generals in the army, including his own personal guard cavalry, and gathered 2,000 cavalry for him, hoping that he could capture Changyi and turn the tide.
At this moment, Cao Chun was very surprised to see Yang Ping, and asked, "Why is Yang Envoy Jun here?" Ren Cheng lost? ”
Yang Ping was ashamed, lowered his head and said: "There are many rebels in Northern Xinjiang, and it is difficult for me to resist, so I have to ......."
"Have no choice but to abandon the city and flee?" Cao Chun's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "You lost Rencheng, what can I do to contain the strength of the Northern Frontier Army?" The Northern Xinjiang Army is guarding around Changyi, how can I sneak attack? ”
"General, don't be in a hurry." Jian Yong hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, "The Northern Frontier Army that conquered Rencheng is still in Rencheng and is not stationed in Changyi, so we still have a chance to sneak attack." ”
"What's going on?" When Cao Chun heard this, he was surprised and delighted, "Do we really still have a chance?" ”
"Of course." Zhou Cang looked at Cao Chun, and let out a cold snort in his nose, obviously very dissatisfied with Cao Chun's behavior just now. Cao Chun is just Cao Cao's cousin, and his official position is smaller than that of Yang Ping, the minister of the city and the state, what qualifications does he have to reprimand Yang Ping in front of everyone?
Zhou Cang's dissatisfaction was on his face. Cao Chun turned a blind eye and looked arrogant, and the commander of the battle did not put on any gesture of respect and humility.
"The two of you are in the city, let's talk as we go." Jian Yong was worried that Zhou Cang would say something ugly, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask.
………………
Liu Bei had great confidence in his attack strategy, but after the Northern Xinjiang Army attacked Langya and Guan Zhuling was defeated and retreated to the East China Sea, it was very likely that the armies of Gao Shun and Zang Ba would move north into Yanzhou and appear in the area of Changyi City to open up a flank battlefield to cover their main army's attack on Chenliu.
At this time, if you want to successfully take Changyi, you must drag Gao Shun's army on the front line of Lu State and Ren Chengguo to buy time for your attacking army.
But if you want to hold off Gao Shun's army, you need more troops, but Xuzhou has no more troops. In the Battle of Jucheng, Zhu Ling lost more than half of his life in Jucheng, and there were less than 20,000 horses left. After Zhou Cang and Jian Yong's army left Xuzhou and went north to attack Changyi, Zhu Ling was able to block the Northern Xinjiang Army in the area of Tancheng in the East China Sea without backup, and it was already very good to stabilize the current front, but there was no hope for the counteroffensive to recapture Langya State, let alone rely on his strength to drag the Northern Xinjiang Army.
After careful consideration, Liu Bei wrote to Guangling Chen Deng, asking him to lead his army north to help Zhu Ling, so that he could reinforce the Central Plains battlefield at the right time.
Liu Bei said in the letter: "If the Central Plains is lost, Xuzhou will not be guaranteed, what is the point of me leaving many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou?" Relying on the strength of tens of thousands of troops in one state, relying on our own strength, if we want to defeat Li Yi in Hebei, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, so now we must unite and work together. I have formed an alliance with Jiangdong Sun Ce, and at this critical juncture, if he not only disobeys the imperial court's holy decree and refuses to go north to attack Hebei and rebel, but also takes the opportunity to betray the alliance and attack Xuzhou, then let him go. Such a person who has neither loyalty nor faith will be tolerated by the world in the future, and will certainly not die a good death. ”
Liu Bei also wrote a letter to Ji Ling, with sincere words, asking him to obey the imperial court's holy decree and quickly go north to rescue and save Sheji from danger.
After Chen Deng received Liu Bei's letter, he immediately went north.
Ji Ling had already received the holy decree and reward given to him by Xuchang before this, but because Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not move, and Yuan Shu, who was seriously ill, did not say anything, he was hesitant and did not know how to choose. Liu Bei's letter reminded him in time. Ji Ling immediately wrote to Shouchun, stating his determination to protect Sheji, and then led the army to the north day and night.
When the two rushed to Pengcheng one after another, they happened to receive a request for help from Yang Ping, the minister of Rencheng. (To be continued.) )
