Chapter 420: Zhuge retreats from a strong enemy with a strategy
readx;
Zhuge Liang took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated Zang Ba's army. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info captured Zang Ba's guide Hanzhong and the general Min Jaw.
Although Zhuge Liang won a small victory this time, the Xichuan soldiers were greatly encouraged, and their fighting spirit was high, and they began to be full of confidence in marching to the west to join the Meng Won Army.
After chasing thirty miles, the Xichuan overseer Lei Tong shined, beheaded seventy or eighty enemies along the way, became famous in a battle, and the news was transmitted back to Xichuan, which became a household name. Zhuge Liang collected troops and set up camp and launched the Min jaw.
"To descend or not to descend?"
Zhuge Liang's loud voice shook the big tent and asked very dryly. Under the backdrop of the knife and axe hands on both sides, it adds a bit of murderous atmosphere.
Inside the tent, it was so quiet that only the crackling sound remained, and the scene was cold. The five flowers tied the ground Min jaw in cold sweat, stretched out his neck and said stiffly: "There are only generals who died in battle, and there are no generals who surrendered!" β
Is Min Jaw a person with integrity? Zhuge Liang believed this when used on Lu Bu's other generals, but Min Jaw, who led the way and the party, was not convincing at all.
"General Min is a person who knows the times, and Ming people don't say secret words. What you are worried about is the name of the butcher of Lu Bu, and if you surrender, your family will be harmed? β
Min Jaw was seen through his mind and was silent.
Zhuge Liang said in an orderly manner: "Before our army set off, I have sent someone to send a letter to Fangling Taishou, more than a month has passed, and I want to come to Fangling Taishou's army is about to arrive in Hanzhong to assist our army in attacking Hanzhong." As long as Hanzhong is broken, won't your family be liberated? β
Min Jaw finally moved: "My family is about to be sent to Chang'an to settle down...... As a hostage, why should I believe your nonsense, Fang Ling will use soldiers in Hanzhong? β
"Fang Ling Taishou is my uncle!" A servant beside Zhuge Liang shouted disdainfully.
Min Jaw thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "But far water can't quench your thirst." Fangling arrived at Hanzhong Mountain, the road is vast, surrounded by mountains, how can the army reach in time. If you want to kill, you will kill, and Hugh will say more. β
Zhuge Liang has made up his mind, it doesn't matter what he is going to meet with Nanban Meng at the moment, the important thing is to force Lu Bu's army back as soon as possible, if Min Jaw leads the way to defraud the rear checkpoint of Lu Bu's army and cut off Lu Bu's grain and grass route, then the key is to cooperate with Min Jaw in order to implement the plan.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, if our army goes straight to Yangping Pass, can we rescue your family?" β
"Hahaha...... What are you kidding, the yellow-mouthed child is really whimsical. Yangping Heavy Pass is an important checkpoint for the general's southern expeditionary army, and it is arranged like an iron bucket. You actually want to attack Yangping Pass? Min Jaw laughed so hard that tears flowed from her eyes.
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "The general has the posture of a general, and Lu Bu can't use it for cronyism, but if you rescue the general's family, you can get the general's service, and I will go to it." β
Min Jaw's laughter stopped abruptly, the soldier died for his confidant, Zhuge Liang was deeply moved by such love: "Even if the general mobilizes all the troops to the front line, Hanzhong is empty, and the general will attack Yangping Pass, and the general will definitely return to the army to attack fiercely, and then the general will be alone in the depths, not only can not save my family but also take the general's life." β
No one has ever called Zhuge Liang a general, and Zhuge Liang was a little uncomfortable with this title of general. Zhuge Liang didn't know what talent Min Jaw had, he just needed him to cooperate with the deception to open Yangping Pass, under Zhuge Liang's witty praise, Min Jaw couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and he didn't know when to untie the rope, and the two drank together.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhuge Liang, in order to dispel Min Jaw's doubts, did not avoid him in the formation of troops, and said frankly: "Zang Ba has been defeated, and Lu Bu will not need to get the news in one day." When going to Yangping Pass, we must act in secret, and we must not alarm Lu Bujun to send people back to defend it. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer LΓΌ Bu's army to another place, and the military order I received is to go to Xichong to join Meng Huo, then lead LΓΌ Bu's army south to Xichong to fight with the southern barbarian army, and we will take the opportunity to go north. β
"This ...... The military order received by the gentleman is to go south to the west, and to go north rashly is not to disobey the military order? Lei Tong reminded.
"Outside the general, the military order is not subject to it." Zhuge Liang is not rigid in form, isn't the purpose of the war to win? Zhuge Liang continued to instruct: "Immediately gather the soldiers, go to the shore of the inland water overnight to cut wood, and float the wood down the river." β
Lei Tong was puzzled and asked, "Sir, why is this?" β
Zhuge Liang fanned the brazier and smiled without saying a word.
Zang Ba's defeated army rushed back and informed Lu Bu of the whole process in detail.
"Zhuge Liang?" Lu Bu was ecstatic. In the past few years, he has been trying to find a way to conquer Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang only brought a few people, didn't he send it to the door himself?
"Spread scouts, explore Zhuge Liang's marching route, and capture Zhuge Liang alive!"
Fu Zhi carefully stared at the rough sand table in Lu Bu's big tent, there were only more famous mountains and rivers in the sand table, but there was no specific terrain along the way. Fu Zhu said: "I heard that Meng Shu led the barbarian soldiers up the river from Ba County, could Zhuge Liang be entrusted by Liu Bei to contact?" β
"It is very possible that Zhuge Liang only has one or two thousand men and horses, and he cannot cause substantial damage to our army, so it is not unreasonable to go to contact Meng Shu and pull Meng Shu from Liu Zhang's camp to Liu Bei's camp, and prepare for the rebellion against Liu Zhang in the future." Xu Shu agreed.
"So where will Zhuge Liang choose to round Meng Huo's army?" Lu Bu asked.
"It should be here." Xu Shu pointed to the sand table and pointed to the west: "This place is the pass of the mountains in the north, and then the hills and hills are further south." β
"Okay, then divide the soldiers into two ways. I personally went to Xichong. Since the sword pass can't be rushed down, then hold on to it, and can't lose it so that Liu Beijun will cut off my return route to the south and Xichong First Army. Lu Bu thought for a while and said. Zhang Fei was seriously injured and could not go into battle in a short period of time, and the only generals Liu Bei could use were Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi who threatened the generals of Lu Bujun.
Lu Bu left Gao Shun as the main general, Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu as deputy generals to guard outside the sword pass, and he led several generals of Zang Bawang Shuanglu Lingqi to go south to Xichong to pursue Zhuge Liang.
The next day at noon.
"Report."
"Say."
"The internal water is full of driftwood, and the enemy has not yet been found."
"Revisit."
What does Zhuge Liang want to do? Lu Bu hesitated, recalling that in the strategy used by Zhuge Liang in history, there seemed to be such a place, which benefited the river driftwood to build a pontoon bridge, but unfortunately it was discovered by Sima Yi. Don't think about it, Zhuge Liang must have thought that Lu Bu's new land Bachuan was empty, and wanted to use these driftwood to build a wooden bridge to cross the river and attack Bachuan? Lu Bu didn't need to think deeply to know what Zhuge Liang wanted to do, and he had already been told in historical records. Isn't he going to Xichong? However, Bachuan and Xichong face each other across the river, and the road is not far, maybe Zhuge Liang did it easily?
"The whole family is moving faster. Xuangao led the army to march with the two mountains, and it was necessary to rule out the potential ambush of the two mountains along the way. β
In the face of absolute strength, Lu Bu believed that Ren Zhuge Liang was full of scheming. Rustle-
Dense footsteps sounded in the snow. The Xichuan soldiers lying under the snow table were in their throats, and several of the Chang'an Army scouts were not far away.
"Silence." Zhuge Liang lowered his voice to warn the fearful Xichuan soldiers.
Whewββ
As the footsteps passed, the snow tumbled, hundreds of heads broke through the snow, and the soldiers let out a long exhale, moving their frozen limbs. Zhuge Liang ascended to a high ground, and in the distance below the mountain, a column of Chang'an troops passed under their noses.
"Sir, Lu Bujun didn't find out the whereabouts of our army." Lei Tong was ecstatic and licked his cracked lips: "Do you want to fight?" β
"Lu Bu's army can be said to have been ambushed, and our army can launch a surprise attack, but the number of soldiers in this army is far superior to our army, and Lu Bu personally leads the troops, and our army is undoubtedly attacking and harassing, and Lu Bu's army can react in time and counterattack our army. Now the fight is worth the loss. Zhuge Liang didn't want to refuse directly, and decided to lead Lu Bu's army to Xichong and Nanban according to the original plan, so that he could sneak attack Yangping Pass.
Zhuge Liang also wanted to wipe out Lu Bu's army, and it was best to kill Lu Bu at the foot of the mountain together, but the reality didn't give him any chance. The mountains are covered with snow, Zhuge Liang can't ignite the ice and snow, and the fire attack is useless. In addition to the fire attack, only the water attack, even the water drunk here is frozen, where is the flooding?
Seeing the last column of Lu Bu's army disappear at the foot of the mountain, Zhuge Liang encouraged: "There should be no Lu Bu's army scouts in the north now, step up the march, and be sure to arrive at Yangping Pass within four days." β
Zhuge Liang led his troops not to take the avenue, but specially picked the mountain trail to go north along the inland water.
"Sir." Min Jaw came to Zhuge Liang's side and whispered: "I found Lu Bu's army transporting grain in front of me, is it robbed or not?" β
"Don't rob. Keep marching without delay! Zhuge Liang said unceremoniously.
After a short time, there was a long queue of grain transport teams on the official road, escorting a long line of carriages, which were more than ten miles long from end to end. Zhuge Liang was very tempted to see it, as long as Lu Bu's supply was destroyed, it would deal a major blow to the morale of Lu Bu's army. Compared with the capture of Xiayangping Pass, robbing grain and grass is too petty, and it will also startle snakes, Zhuge Liang finally suppressed the urgency in his heart and let this grain team pass by.
For the next two days, there was no danger along the way. The defenders of Lu Bu's various checkpoints did not expect the enemy to come deep into the rear, and under the control of the Min Jaw password, the road was unimpeded and had already completed the general distance. Zhuge Liang believes that the next journey will be easier. He couldn't wait to meet Huang Yueying. He did so many things completely to recapture Huang Yueying from Lu Bu, otherwise, with his cautious and subtle character, how could he risk going deep behind enemy lines, as long as he was a little comfortable, not only could he not hurt the enemy, but he would also become a lone army that lost supplies and support, and the danger was unimaginable.
When Lu Bu led the army to chase to Brazil, he suddenly found that he had lost Zhuge Liang's whereabouts, Lu Bu suddenly felt that he was a little taken for granted, he didn't think deeply about Zhuge Liang in the face of Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was known for his caution, Lu Bu just wanted to break his head and didn't know where Zhuge Liang ran to. When Lu Bu wanted to turn around and return to Jianguan, the scout came to report that the barbarian king Meng Shu was attacking with a whole army thirty miles away.
