122 Major turnarounds

"Report to the ......, report to the general, General Lei Bobian asks to see you."

"Lei Bo? This person is a partial general under General Huang, and if he asks to see him at this time, there must be a major military situation. The strategists stopped arguing at the same time, and the scene finally fell silent. Damn, it seems that there are many strategists, and there are disagreements, and it is enough to fight for your own head as big as a cow. He Chen deeply experienced the annoyance of happiness.

Not long after, Lei Bo, who was dressed in armor, had a slender body, like a bamboo pole, and came in with a little excitement on his face.

To say that Lei Bo is a subordinate general under Yuan Shu, he is very valued because of his extraordinary force. After the mediocre and extravagant Yuan Shu became emperor, Lei Bo angrily and Chen Lan led the Qubu to leave, and then occupied Songshan and fell into the grass as a thief. This product is a bit of an appetite for He Chen, and he just likes to beat the water dog. After Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Ying, Lei Bo turned his face and did not recognize people, not only sent troops to attack, but also robbed a large amount of treasure. Later, Cao Ying's recruitment was ineffective several times, and he originally wanted to fight against the soldiers, just in time for the good time when the northern army went south to Huangliu, so he let these two people be at ease for two more years. It was only later that Cao Ying's troops were defeated and the state army was like a bamboo, and Lei Bo and Chen Lan finally surrendered.

"General Lei, look at your happy face, do you bring any good news?" He Chen asked out loud.

"General Hui, the former subordinates were ordered by General Huang to lead 5,000 troops with Huang Gongzi to the Po Po Rock Mountain Range to search, first found a small number of earthen stoves, and traces of people and horses around them; Then his subordinates led the soldiers to pursue it all the way south, about fifty miles away, and found another substation, and this time there were obvious signs of an increase in numbers. According to the normal camp arrangement, it is estimated that there are at least twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, and there may be more. By now, General Huang had formed an encirclement of Liu's army in the area of Qiyang Mountain. ”

"Qiyang ......," He Chen groaned.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia once again surrounded the map and carefully observed the terrain.

"Qiyang is named because it is located in the south of Qishan Mountain, and it is famous for having a muddy river. This place is located in the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River, and the location is extremely important. He Chen didn't look at the map at all, so he said aloud. In his previous life, he happened to go rafting in the Golden Cave, which is known as "Asia's No. 1 Drift", and that exciting experience left an unforgettable impression on him. The ex-girlfriend, the culprit who led him to Hanwei, met when he was rafting in the Golden Cave.

"General Lei, is this matter certain? Have you ever had a contact encounter? "It is estimated that with the lessons of the past, all the strategists are cautious. No one dared to open the sea mouth before the news was confirmed.

"The subordinates dare to guarantee with the head of the item, this thing is true. Moreover, more than ten scouts sent by Huang Gongzi have already fought fiercely with the other party, and more than ten elites have been killed on our side, and Liu Beijun has also dropped nearly twenty corpses. It's just a pity that I didn't catch it alive. In the end, Lei Bo sighed with some regret.

"Very good, General Lei, if you can catch Liu Bei and the others, you will be credited. You saddle your horse and work hard all the way, go down to rest first, and wait for General Ben to mobilize the three armies, and you will be on your side. ”

"No." Lei Bo retreated with a happy face.

Xun You looked away from the map, thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Jun walked Qiyang, first, to avoid the Guiyang blockade, and second, to go all the way down the Xiangjiang River, through Guilin, and directly to Cangwu. Of course, it is also possible to move west from Guilin and enter the Baban territory. Hey, this Zhuge Liang is really resourceful and cunning. If this person is not removed, it will inevitably be a big trouble. ”

"Lord, since the main force of the Liu army has been determined, is it ......" Tian Feng paused slightly and asked tentatively.

"Liu Bei's main force? Hmph...... "He Chen realized something, and said categorically: "No, this is very likely to be Zhuge Liang's suspicious plan to increase the number of soldiers and withdraw from the army." In fact, it is very likely that it is only a partial division, and its main purpose is to divert the attention of our army and attract the main force to pursue it closely. Create the most powerful conditions for them to break through the blockade of our army. How do you know that He Chen categorically denied it at this time. It caused a lot of surprise among the advisers. You must know that General He is never the one who comes up with ideas, but more from the strategists to offer strategies, and then make decisions.

The reason why He Chen had this idea was that when Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan to retreat, he flexibly used Sun Bin's method of retreating and reducing the stove, and did the opposite. This ploy impressed him too deeply.

"Why is the lord so sure?" Guo Jia thought about it for a while, it seems, it seems to be a little reasonable, and he couldn't help asking.

It turned out that such a dialogue scene was all asked by He Chen and Guo Jia replied, but this time it seemed to be reversed.

"Hmph, why are you so sure, it is based on General Ben's understanding of Zhuge Liang's surname, and his dialysis of the division of his form. Think about it, just now there was a person who sent false information, and now there is another person who reports military information. Although on the surface, it seems that they are not compatible, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that this happened too coincidentally. In the final analysis, the purpose of the two is to confuse the public and achieve the effect of confusing our army. Just think about our army chasing all the way down, Liu Beijun's whereabouts are covered up quite wonderfully, why did he show signs at this critical time? Isn't there a conspiracy in this? General Ben didn't believe it when he was killed. Therefore, it is concluded that all this is Zhuge Liang's trick, and its real purpose is to guide our army to deviate from the direction and finally achieve the desired effect. ”

"What does the lord mean?" Even Guo Jia felt a little creepy, and he had a new understanding of Zhuge Liang's methods.

Liu Bei tried his best to show his traces one after another, but in the eyes of General Ben, their purpose was already very clear, and it was Wuxi, Bafan, and Ninety-three Dian. Although this place is barbarian, it is precisely because of this that they have the possibility of gathering men and horses in a short time. Although the barbarians are fierce and aggressive, they live because of the tribe, ranging from dozens of small households to hundreds of households, which can be broken one by one and subdued one by one. Moreover, the southwest is mountainous, and as long as they jump into the dense forests and mountains, it is difficult to catch them. In addition, Zhuge Liang is good at internal affairs, Liu Bei is good at winning people's hearts, and it doesn't take a few years to pull up a new team of people and horses to threaten the safety of our army in the southeast of Jingzhou.

He Chen's words were reasonable and responsible, and the head was the way, and the strategists who said it couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Now that the goal has been determined, He Chen sank his face and said nothing, quickly walked to the handsome position, sat down, and then shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to my orders." ”

"No." The crowd roared.

He Chen's grim expression swept over the generals, and then fell on Ma Teng's face, his mouth opened, and he said slowly: "Shoucheng, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and quickly rush to join forces with Qi Yang and Huang Xu, and you will command the army; At the same time, let Lei Bo lead the way for you, and be sure to take down this partial master. ”

Ma Teng stepped out of the ranks, and said with some doubts on his face: "General, Lei Bo once said that the other party may have about 20,000 or 30,000 people......

He Chen sneered and said, "Twenty or thirty thousand? Two or three thousand is about the same, you don't need to care so much, just pick up 10,000 horses and chase after the starry night. If General Ben misjudges, even if the army is defeated afterwards, it will not be as guilty as you. ”

"No." Seeing that He Chen was full of confidence, Ma Teng also wanted to believe seven or eight points in his heart, and strode out with the token.

"Xun You, Tian Feng, Yu Ban, Han Meng."

"The subordinates are here." The four of them answered the line at the same time.

"The location of this place in Xiangdong is extremely important, Gongda, Yuan Hao, and the two of you will lead 100,000 horses to guard the east and west, and Yu Ban and Han Meng are the deputy generals. As long as we can get a firm foothold in this place, even if Liu Bei runs around in the southwest, our army can gather troops in a short period of time. At the same time, you also shoulder the important task, that is, to supply the military rations of various departments, because the four counties of Jingnan are of many different races, so you must be careful and vigilant when escorting, and you must not go out on any errands. ”

"No." The four of them responded respectfully.

He Chen barely paused, took out the third token, and shouted loudly: "Ma Chao, you lead 50,000 horses, each divided into ten parts, from Lingling to Guixiang, each of which must not be more than fifty miles apart, and form a net with Zhao Yunbu in Guiyang, and wipe out Liu Bei's southward division." ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Where is Xu Huang?"

"The subordinates are here." Xu Huang came out of the ranks steadily, and said energetically.

"Immediately point out the main force of the Chinese army into two routes, you and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun led the water army, down the Xiangshui River to Guilin, a large number of scouts on both sides of the river, if the general's guess is not wrong, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must still be active in this area."

"No." Xu Huang took the token and went out to prepare without saying a word.

"The rest of the morning tomorrow, with the general from the land first out of Xiangdong, down the Hunan water, and then to Fuyi, Duyang area. At the same time, he ordered Guiyang to be on the front line, so that Zhao Yun could cheer up his spirits in case Liu Bei's army jumped south in a hurry. The general expected that it would not be long before Liu's army would soon collapse because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the soldiers were far away from home, and there were no supplies. So no matter how difficult the situation is now, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. ”

"No."

With He Chen's military order issued, the Dazhai soldiers soon began to set up camp, and before the next day, the soldiers made food on the third watch and set off on the fourth watch. The troops stretched out in all directions like spider silk, among which He Chen led the Chinese army with 150,000 horses, along the Xiangjiang River, all over the mountains and fields, if it broke to a foreign race along the way, they did not move a bit, did not hurt a ear, so that the people of the Suo tribe were afraid of losing their courage for a few days, and praised it, and secretly wrote down this special unit in their hearts.

Soon, on the fifth day, good news began to come, Ma Teng and Huang Xu joined forces, lasted three days of chasing and fighting, and finally surrounded Liu Bei's partial army, as He Chen expected, it was the partial general Gou Zhang led less than 3,000 men and horses, and there were suspicious soldiers. Less than half an hour after the battle, Gou Zhang surrendered very happily.

And as time deepened, just when He Chen wondered if there was a problem with his own judgment, things took a major turn.
