194 Soldiers' taboos
Gongsun continued to ask, "My lord, how do you say this?" ”
Cao Zhang said: "Since he Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu can send fast cavalry to copy my grain road, then I can naturally copy his grain road, he thought that I would attack the city with all my might, so I just divided my troops to copy his grain road, and I will inevitably suffer losses if I am not prepared!" ”
Gongsun continued: "Your Excellency is clever, but how do we know the route of the Southern Xiongnu? ”
Cao Zhang said: "We also have to ask the tomb keepers to help in this matter, they are familiar with the terrain and naturally know how to investigate!" Now they should still be resting in the barracks twenty miles away from where we have been stationed, and we have no choice but to trouble them! ”
Gongsun continued: "Then I will send someone to inform them immediately!" ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "No need, let's go back with the soldiers!" After speaking, he glanced at Linfen County, which was attacked very urgently, although the vanguard army still did not hit, but now there is no wood and stone falling on the Linfen city wall, obviously exhausted, Cao Zhang sighed and said: "This Linfen will inevitably be broken, but if the Li family defends the city with all their strength and fights in the streets, it will be difficult for our army to control this county without a day or two!" As I expected, the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and Qiang Hu tribes and Tuoba Xianbei have already used the Li family as bait, waiting for our big fish to bite the hook, and then lay a net in Linfen.

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "This matter is very likely, but as long as we intercept the grain route of the Southern Xiongnu army, their encirclement will also be self-defeating!" ”
Cao Zhang said: "That's exactly, but I don't plan to let them go back so easily!" Let's go! After saying that, Le Ma left, and Gongsun Xu immediately took the Hu cavalry camp to follow Cao Zhang to yesterday's camp.
Cao Zhang galloped all the way, and immediately called out Wei Zhen, who was resting, after returning to the camp, and said that the Hu people might use the Li family and Linfen as bait, Wei Zhen changed color after hearing this: "This matter is very likely, otherwise the Li family will inevitably abandon the city and leave when they see such a large army, why make a stubborn posture?" This is the negligence of Naizhen, and he didn't even think of this! ”
Cao Zhang said: "It's not negligence now, at most it's a strategy to lure the enemy, Gongzhen your tomb keepers are familiar with the terrain of Pingyang, please immediately send scouts to find out the movements of the roads leading to Linfen, if there is a change in the enemy, report them one by one, this task requires dead soldiers, if you are caught, you will cut yourself, and you must not leak the mission!" ”
Wei Zhen nodded and said, "Zhen will do it immediately!" After saying that, he hurried away.
Cao Zhang then said to Gongsun Xu: "Bo Kang, Bo Ning will enter the city at least one day later, that is to say, if the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu wants to intercept our army's grain and grass, it will be within one day, so our actions must be one day faster than him, otherwise the Hun light cavalry that returned with a feather will return to the Southern Xiongnu army, they know that the plan is exposed, and they will inevitably withdraw the army, and our strategy of intercepting the grain road will not work!" ”
Gongsun continued: "The grave keepers are riding good horses, and the investigation mission must have a response within three days, and the enemy needs to find the location of the Hun army after returning from light horses, and secondly, it cannot be crossed from the pontoon bridge built by our army, which takes much more time than us, and it should not be a problem for us to hurry up for a day."
Cao Zhang nodded and said: "Bo Kang is reasonable, but there must be things that cause fire such as anointing oil and fire sickles to intercept the grain road, and Bo Kang can send someone to send a letter to Jiangyi, so that they can send someone to deliver it within three days." “
Gongsun replied: "The last general is ordered! "After saying that, immediately call someone to do it.
Cao Zhang ordered the 2,000 Hu cavalry battalion sergeants to rest in place and wait for the reply of the tomb guard.
Two days later, Jiangyi let three hundred knights send the anointing oil and sickle, Cao Zhang praised their efficiency, and on the evening of the same day, the twenty horsemen sent back the two horsemen, they together probed two enemy troops, one is the army of the Southern Huns, about 6,000 cavalry, one is the army of the Chen family supported by Huangzhongyi Conghu, there are 4,000 cavalry, of which the army of the Southern Xiongnu is still 200 miles away from Linfen, and Huang Zhongyi from the army of Hu Chenjia is from the east of Fenshui, nearly 300 miles away from Linfen.
The speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry marching at full speed is 300 miles a day, and the tomb keepers come and go and add investigation, 300 miles only takes two days, although it is a single horse action, but its speed is also amazingly fast, no wonder the Hu people have not taken Xiangling, because their cavalry has no advantage over the tomb keepers.
After learning of the actions of these people, Cao Zhang called Wei Zhen and Gongsun Xu and said: "Although there are only two armies now, I think there will inevitably be armies to kill Linfen one after another, so Gongzhen must stay here, wait for all your twenty horsemen to return to the camp to report the movements of the enemy troops from all walks of life before acting, as for the scouts who have detected the Southern Xiongnu army, hand them over to me, and help me intercept their grain and grass." ”
Wei Zhen replied: "No! ”
Cao Zhang immediately said to Gongsun Xu: "Bokang, bring the things that ignite the fire, we will leave immediately, cross the west of Fenshui from the Fenshui pontoon bridge, intercept the Xiongnu grain road, and take a look at the battle situation in Linfen by the way." ”
Gongsun agreed: "No! ”
Then Cao Zhang left the camp with the cavalry, and the tomb keeper who detected the Southern Xiongnu army also followed the team, and during the march they passed by the place where the people were camped and saw the corpses of people and horses all over the ground, all Hu people wearing nomadic clothes, Cao Zhang smiled and said: "It seems that Boning and Zilong have won a big victory!" ”
Gongsun continued: "Now presumably Linfen has been captured. ”
Cao Zhang said: "Yes, but nearly 100,000 people plus baggage, to cross the small pontoon bridge, not three days, our army will inevitably have people stranded in the east of Fenshui." ”
After a while, he saw the blazing fire on the bank of Fenshui, and the vigilant scout saw Cao Zhang's banner and immediately came out to salute, Cao Zhang asked the scout, "Whose army is ahead?" ”
The scout replied, "Lord Hui, yes, the army of the Mantaishou!" ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Go and tell the Manchu Taishou, we have to cross the pontoon bridge first, and let him postpone crossing the river!" ”
The scout replied, "No! ”
Cao Chang knew that it would take a lot of time to get the baggage and tens of thousands of people to make a way, so he simply ordered the sergeant to rest in place, and after half an hour, Man Chong came to Cao Zhang with his personal guards and said: "My lord, the pontoon bridge has been vacated, and you can cross the river at any time!" ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Wonderful! With that, let the sergeant move on.
Full pet walked aside and said: "My lord is really expecting the enemy to be like a god, Captain Zhao came to inform the last general that there will be an enemy attack, let the last general immediately build the deer will be suspicious, until the night there is still no enemy attack, at that time has captured Linfen, the last general is about to withdraw the deer to cross the river when Zhao Xiaowei said, 'Crossing the river late at night, I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it!' "Let the last general cross the river again the next morning. Although the last general disagreed, General Zhao came with the order of the general, so he did so, so he ordered the sergeant to rest in place, and General Zhao hid the army in the dense forest, and in the middle of the night, there were about 2,000 Hu cavalry to raid our army, but there was a deer block, unable to attack the camp, and then General Zhao sent troops to ambush, Hu cavalry suffered heavy losses, and was chased and killed by General Zhao all the way. “
Cao Zhang asked, "Where is General Zhao now?" ”
Man Zhong replied: "It's in Linfen City!" ”
Cao Zhang immediately said to Gongsun Xu: "Bo Kang, immediately send someone to the city to call General Zhao, and we will go together to copy the Southern Hun cavalry!" They have committed a great taboo in the army, but there are large armies but they do not behave in the same way, six thousand here, four thousand there, so that even if there are millions of male soldiers combined, they will be broken one by one! ”
Gongsun agreed: "No! Then immediately send troops to give the order. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
