Thank you for the monthly ticket cast by the Fool Love

Wei Zhen opened his mouth and said: "Please forgive Zhen, this will cause the imperial court to lose the hearts of the people in Pingyang County, and even if Pingyang is recovered, it will be inconvenient to push the administrative order." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cao Zhang nodded when he heard this: "It makes sense, even if we do this, we can't discredit the Son of Heaven under the banner of the master of the imperial court." ”

Wei Ting said: "Whether it is Qianghu, Southern Xiongnu or Tuoba Xianbei, although they support the local powerful forces in Pingyang, mining and animal husbandry, but they do not prohibit the tribal leaders under their command to loot, Hu Lu's rule under his command is loose, the tribes do not belong to each other, and even the same clan has a fight, and there are often two Hu Lu in Pingyang because of looting the same place and fight a big fight, adults can disguise their soldiers as Qiang Hu or Tuoba Xianbei Hulu, loot local strong men to force them to attack the city, Wait until Linfen's arrows are exhausted, and then use another army as the division of the imperial court, and then kill them, so that they will not lose the support of the people. ”

All the generals thought deeply when they heard this, and Cao Zhang also nodded in approval, this practice seemed to Cao Zhang, who came from two thousand years later, it was to take off his pants and fart and want to cover up Mizhang, and he couldn't deceive the people at all, but at the end of the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, this practice was very useful, because the people of this era couldn't go online, couldn't read books and newspapers, didn't know a few words, and a set of foreign clothes was enough to fool them, and Wei Ting's strategy was enough to show that he had a deep understanding of the local situation.

So Cao Zhang said: "The master of the Wei family has a very good plan, but this disguised as a foreign Hulu must have foreign clothes and weapons." ”

Wei Zhen arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, our tomb keepers and foreigners often fight, and we have also obtained a lot of their clothes, and there are also many foreign merchants in Pingyang County who do business, so there are not a few people under my command who can speak barbarians, and this disguise will definitely be completed by my tomb keepers." ”

Cao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "It would be great if Gongzhen could do this, I will leave this matter to you, and if you need to equip military rations, you can directly withdraw it with Berning." ”

Wei Zhen replied: "No! Zhen also needs to pass the book back to Xiangling, and someone will send Xian Lingqiang's clothes before he can act. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "In this case, let's reorganize the army for a few more days, Zilin, this vigilance will be handed over to your Yue cavalry battalion, don't let the enemy take advantage of it." “

Xiahou Nan replied: "No! ”

Cao Zhang then let the generals disperse and waited for Wei Zhen to exercise his strategy.

Ten days later, Xiangling sent 2,000 pieces of clothing of the first Lingqiang, the Qiang people are nomadic people, so their costumes are more concise than the robes of the Han Dynasty, sheepskin shoulders, sheepskin hanging shirts, linen leggings, all of which are for the effect of rain or shine when riding a horse on the wind-swept prairie.

Because their clothing is more comfortable than the black light armor of the tiger and leopard riding, and the two crotch armor of the three cavalry battalions under his command, like the black light armor of the tiger and leopard riding and the two crotch armor of the cavalry under his Cao Zhang, it is impossible to run long distances on the horse, because this kind of armor will have back sores, lice and other things after wearing it for a long time, but the hanging shirt and shoulder are relatively ventilated, and it is not easy to get these diseases, which is also an important reason why the Hu people can cross the grassland.

The Qiang costumes had arrived, and Wei Zhen immediately took the portable military rations and went to Linfen, exercising his strategy of disguising the foreigners to force the strong men to attack the city.

Before leaving, he said to Cao Zhang: "My lord, on the eve of the consumption of the Li family's arrow stone in Linfen, Zhen will send someone to send a letter to inform the lord, and then the lord can open it again, Linfen is only a hundred miles away from here, and the three-day march can be reached." ”

Cao Zhang promised Wei Zhen to leave, and after seeing Wei Zhen leave, Cao Zhang called Zhang Yan and said: "When the Linfen Li family arrow stone is exhausted, this siege task will be handed over to General Zhang, I don't know who is the general under General Zhang who can be the vanguard?" ”

Zhang Yan replied: "Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and my son Zhang Fang can all be pioneers!" ”

Sun Qing was the little marshal who represented Cao Zhang's envoy to Montenegro, Wang Dang was another handsome who greeted him when Cao Chang arrived at Montenegro, and Zhang Fang was Zhang Yan's only son, known as the master second only to Zhang Yan in the Montenegrin army.

These three people are Zhang Yan's closest subordinates, and the siege of the city is a very dangerous task, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by bows and arrows or wood and stones, but he still recommended the three of them, which shows that he really has no selfish intentions.

Using the method of asking candidates to observe the reactions of his subordinates to judge whether he is loyal or not, this trick was given to Cao Zhang by Cao Cao, and only Cao Cao, who has been in a high position for a long time and is cautious and suspicious, can come up with this method.

This is the way of the Emperor.

Cao Chang smiled when he heard Zhang Yan say this: "This matter should be decided by General Zhang himself, no matter who is the vanguard, just take Linfen!" ”

Zhang Yan replied: "No! ”

On the thirteenth day after Wei Zhen left, his message finally came, saying that he had recruited nearly 10,000 strong men, attacked the city day and night, and sent scattered cavalry to continue to force the expedition after camping, and now the defense of Linfen has been weak, it is a good time for the general attack, Cao Zhang received the letter and immediately ordered the army to go to Linfen.

After a day's march, the vanguard has arrived at a place twenty miles away from Linfen, Wei Zhen has already taken two thousand tomb guards to meet Cao Zhang, this group of tomb guards dressed in Xian Lingqiang clothes have tired faces, naturally because of the result of supervising the siege of the strong men day and night, Cao Zhang comforted Wei Zhen for a while and let his subordinates rest in the camp.

Then he sent an order to Zhang Yan, who led the infantry behind, and Manchu, who transported grain, and asked them to camp on the spot, and the people cut down wood to build siege ladders and pontoon bridges, so that they could immediately attack the city when they arrived in Fenshui, and they must not give the enemy a chance to breathe.

Zhang Yan and Man Chong immediately executed the order, Man Chong built ten pontoon bridges overnight, twenty flying ladders, and delivered them to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan immediately took 50,000 soldiers to Cao Zhang's cavalry and went to Linfen, twenty miles away.

Cao Zhang led the cavalry to follow him, although the cavalry could not be used to fight on the pontoon bridge, but it was more than enough to cross the Fen River, Cao Zhang ordered the cavalry to cross the river into Linfen and its street fighting immediately after the city wall was broken, and at the same time issued a strict order not to disturb the people, even if there were deserters entering the people's houses, they could not pursue, and then search and arrest after controlling Linfen.

At noon the next day, Cao Zhang led three battalions of cavalry after Zhang Yan's 5,000 siege vanguards, which were led by Zhang Fang and Sun Qing with 2,000 men each, and Wang Dang with 1,000 men.

After Cao Zhang's three battalions of cavalry was Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops, after the city was broken, Cao Zhang's three battalions of cavalry entered Linfen first, and then Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops launched a general attack, except for 10,000 people who stayed outside to surround Linfen's other city gates, the rest of the Montenegrin army will also enter the city to participate in street battles.

The sergeants on the Linfen city wall saw the dense army on the other side of the Fenshui River, and they were all ready to fight, but the density of the few archers and the soldiers at the head of the city had already exposed their weakness after defending the city for many days, and there were no high-strength weapons such as sasswood and rolling stones.

At this time, the drums sounded, and the siege pioneers under Zhang Yan shouted in unison, carrying pontoon bridges and flying ladders to prepare to cross the Fenshui to attack the city.

Cao Zhang stared at the defenders in the city and suddenly said, "Zilong! Later, your tun cavalry camp and Bokang's Hu cavalry camp don't participate in street fighting, stay put, Zilin's Yue cavalry camp can enter Linfen! ”

The three cavalry captains were all stunned, they never expected that Cao Zhang would make them change their behavior when all the plans were made.

However, when the order was issued, they naturally had to obey it, and only heard the three of them respond in unison: "No! ”

The siege vanguard army has built a pontoon bridge and is carrying a flying ladder to rush to Linfen, and the head of Linfen city has also shot arrows like a shower, the arrows are shot down from a high place, the momentum is even more amazing, each arrow has a sharp whistling sound, even if it is just gently brushed from the vanguard army, it will take away a large piece of flesh and blood.

The newly equipped armor could not protect against the fierce arrows, and the arrows would die.

But the vanguard also adopted an effective way of defense, they built pontoon bridges together, and when crossing the bridge, everyone clinged to each other, raised the halberd in their hands over three meters, and formed a forest of halberds on their heads, blocking most of the arrows, although occasionally people were shot, but the casualties were not very large.

Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Zhang Fang have all changed into Mingguang armor now, holding a square shield in one hand and a ring-headed sword in the other hand to walk in front of the vanguard, and the arrows have been inserted into the square shield in front of them, but their steps are still fast.

Cao Zhang said to Zhao Yun at this time: "Zilong, immediately take the Tun cavalry battalion back to the rear army, protect the grain transporters in Boning, and at the same time take out all the deer barricades carried by Boning and place them on the spot to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack!" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "No! After speaking, he took the Tun cavalry camp and went in reverse.

Cao Zhang still looked at the head of Linfen City and asked Gongsun Xu: "Bo Kang, if you are defending the city, and after being almost consumed by ordinary strong men in the siege materials, you encounter the enemy army attacking the city, what will you do?" ”

Gongsun continued: "Two paths, stick to asking for help, or abandon the city for a while." ”

Cao Zhang said: "Do you think the Li family seems to have chosen which path now?

Gongsun Xu raised his eyes and saw that at this time, the flying ladder had already been set up at the head of Linfen City, but a few of them were immediately pushed down by the defenders on the city wall, and then a round of wood and stone fell, smashing many vanguard troops, but the density of wood and stones that fell was not large, and it was obvious that they did not have much left.

Gongsun Xu suddenly realized: "They are holding on to the city, and they must still be asking for help!" ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, if I am the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and receive their request for help, I will inevitably send light cavalry to intercept the enemy's grain route while the enemy army is attacking the city, so I will send Zilong to guard, and at the same time inform Boning to take precautions." ”

Gongsun continued: "If they intercept the grain road, we can only attack the city with all our strength, and after entering the lonely city, the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu will inevitably send a large army to besiege the city again, and even besiege us together with Qianghu and Tuoba Xianbei, after all, we pretended to be Qianghu people to force Zhuangding to attack the city only to hide from the ordinary people, but not from this group of foreigners." ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "Not bad! Therefore, we will give back to others in their own way! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
