Chapter 411: Trick into opening the city gate
At dawn, Zhang Xi, the guard of Xiao County, stretched his limbs comfortably, and slept very peacefully last night, and even dreamed that he was holding a fine-skinned and tender flesh of the twenty-eight petite baby, and was venting the lust that had been accumulated for many days, but unfortunately, the good thing had just begun, and he woke up excitedly.
"Alas, when I add a little woman to my tent, the days will be fulfilled. Hehe, in fact, think about it, this is also a lack of people's hearts and swallow elephants, like the soldiers in other places are fighting bloodily, living a life of licking blood on the tip of the knife all year round, and although Xiao County where I am stationed is the border, it has been peaceful for several years, and it is even more comfortable than the mainland, because if it is the mainland, how can I have so much military pay here? ”
Zhang Xi lay on the couch and did not get up, with a pair of eyes closed, infinite reverie and sighing.
At this moment, Zhang Xi suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves outside, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then said to himself: "I've been a little weak in the past few years, and I actually have auditory hallucinations!" Alas, at this time, again in the direction behind our army, how can there be the sound of horses' hooves? Even if there is really going to be a war, then there must be a text from the court, since I have not received the text, it proves that there will be no war here, since there will be no war, naturally there will be no sound of horses' hooves, because at this time, the soldiers under my command will not get up for morning exercises, alas, these rabbit cubs are also damaged by me, if war really breaks out, with their usual lack of training, how can they fight on the battlefield? ”
But then he heard footsteps outside the tent, and immediately shouted in displeasure: "Who's outside?" Don't you know the rules of Ben General? ”
It turns out that Zhang Xi's biggest hobby in the army is sleeping, and he almost sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, and no one will ever disturb him, so he has formed an unwritten rule in the army, that is. Unless it's a big deal, you must not disturb him sleeping. But with the unique geographical location of his garrison, how could something big happen?
Although he has woken up now, he is reminiscing about the dream he just had, and he is suddenly disturbed by others, and he is naturally unhappy.
But he didn't expect the people outside to suddenly lose their voices and say, "General." The big thing is not good, a military horse appeared in the rear of our camp, all cavalry, their army has already rushed into the stockade, if the general does not dodge again, I am afraid that this time is really over. ”
Zhang Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded: "Useless things, why don't you go and see, which general led the army over?" You don't arrange for people to deal with peak inspections. Arrange food and drink, what are you howling at me? However, this time it is also strange, the inspection of military affairs at the peak is usually at noon, and it is really unusual to come early in the morning like this. ”
Until now, Zhang Xi still thought that it was his own army that came, so although there was a trace of panic in his heart, he was not too worried, because similar spot checks on the peak were not once or twice. In order to fool the peak inspection, he specially sorted out a set of perfect procedures for coping with the inspection. Including the military formation for performance training, the shining blades wrapped in silver foil, and the wine banquet for the broadband peak, the "Xie Yi" for rewarding the peak, and so on, he used this set to make Cao Zhen, the highest military commander in the entire county, smile in a daze, so as soon as he heard that someone broke into the camp, he immediately thought of this set of countermeasures. On the one hand, he hurriedly got up to end the armor, and on the other hand, he complained one after another about breaking into his handsome and life-threatening personal soldier captain Zhang Wu.
saw Zhang Wu said with a bitter face: "General, it's not what you imagined, it seems that the enemy army is coming, because they broke into the barracks after checking it." They began to massacre our soldiers, and the cavalry of all colors knocked and trampled our soldiers, and the brothers suffered heavy injuries and blood flowed like rivers......."
"Huh? What the? How is this possible? How could the enemy have attacked from behind? Could it be that our army has even lost the county? You idiots, why did you let them in like this? What about the guards who guard the village? What are you eating? Zhang Xi was taken aback and hurriedly shouted.
But I heard Zhang Wu say with a wry smile: "General, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the walled gate, you deliberately set up an open and spacious place between the walled gate and the Chinese military tent, even the cavalry can ride dozens of horses side by side, and the enemy's cavalry naturally came in, as for the soldiers guarding the village, the general only arranged the guards facing the Chu army at the back door, and there were no ......guards at the main gate at all."
Zhang Xi couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and then he remembered that Zhang Wu was telling the truth, but he still shouted stubbornly: "Then quickly arrange for the sergeant to resist, if you lose the village, you and I will be responsible." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu grinned and said: "The enemy army is too fierce, we can't resist it at all, there are already two or three thousand soldiers scattered in the future, it is estimated that there are more now, general, if you lose the stockade, you will be demoted at most, and you will not be able to die, but if you don't leave, it is estimated that you will even have to give an account for your life." ”
At this time, the shouting and killing was close to the Chinese military tent, Zhang Xi was so shocked that he almost didn't fall on the couch again, hurriedly cleaned up, and led his own soldiers to escape from the south gate, although this time, he may be demoted, and even a stroke to the end is not impossible, as for the days when he lived leisurely and received high treatment like the original, he didn't have to think about it anymore. But after all, it is already good to be able to save a life.
Zhang Xi's subjective guess that the county has been lost, frightened had to lead the remnants of the defeated general to flee to Shouchun, to Huainan only a county of Yangzhou assassin Zhang Liao, this way lost the army, more than 10,000 soldiers to Shouchun after only eight hundred, the result angered Zhang Liao, a knife to chop off his fat head, since then ended his life from great joy to great sorrow......
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Zhang Xi, who was quite famous in the Huaiyang area at the beginning, would be so defeated today, but when he saw the foolish things and the vulnerable soldiers in Zhang Xi's army, he finally understood that the sage's statement of "born in sorrow and died in peace" is indeed an indestructible truth.
At the same time, he thought that he had enjoyed peace in Pengcheng in the past few years, and the sergeants under his command had not fought a few big battles and dangerous battles, even if it was himself, when Xun Yu saw himself sending troops yesterday, he was worried in his heart, although he agreed that this was his own prudent consideration, but think about it, why is there no factor in this that is unwilling to take risks? If this goes on for a long time, will this Zhang Xi's ending today be on his own?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his heart was so dangerous, he was so disappointed that Xun Gongda woke himself up with a word and gave himself a chance to send troops, otherwise, he would really be able to continue to be decadent.
"The lord entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, granted me a high position, and asked me to guard Pengcheng, but I am willing to be ordinary and passive defense, which is really a betrayal of the lord's trust."
Zhao Yun was ashamed in his heart, and glanced at the messy Zhang Xi Daying, he wanted to engrave this scene deeply in his heart and never let this scene repeat.
Although he didn't know that Zhang Xi's head would be cut off, Zhao Yun also knew that this person would never dare to lead the army back to fight against him, so Zhao Yun was not worried, and ordered someone to inform Deng Zhi and let him take over Xiao County, and he led the army directly to Qian County.
When the army was thirsty and hungry, they drank some water and ate some dry food on the horseback, and when they were sleepy, they went in groups of two, one lay down on the saddle to rest, and the other was responsible for taking care of it, and then took turns to rest.
Although this time the whole army is extremely hard, but no one complained, because in their hearts, there is also a very strong desire to make meritorious contributions, as a soldier, the last thing they want is to sit and enjoy peace, if they really want to live a peaceful life, why should they join the army? It's better to disarm and return to the field directly.
The army trekked all the way, and after only one day and night, it came to a place more than ten miles outside the city of Qiaoxian, and such an astonishing marching speed was really an unprecedented feat.
Because they took the lead in breaking Zhang Xi's army, Zhao Yun's army got a lot of Cao Jun's equipment, so before leaving, Zhao Yun had already ordered people to change into Cao Jun's equipment, so when the army came to the city of Qiaoxian County, they were all Cao Jun's banners, and most of the clothes they wore were Cao Jun's armor.
When the army arrived at the city of Qiaoxian, it was already the second watch, and it was just right to attack the city at night, so Zhao Yun did not order the army to rest, but encouraged everyone to take the county first and then go to rest, because he knew deeply that if he rested before taking the city, everyone's spirit would be reduced a lot, and the situation was changing and complicated, unpredictable, and maybe reinforcements would arrive at the next moment.
After thinking silently for a moment, Zhao Yun said to his subordinate general Xiahou Lan: "General Xiahou, you go and call the city gate." ”
When Xiahou Lan heard this, he immediately came to the city gate and said loudly: "Which general is in the city?" We are the subordinates of General Zhang Xi of Xiao County, and we were ordered to send reinforcements to Qian County, hoping that the general would open the city gate and let our army enter the city. ”
I saw a person shouting at the head of the city: "We haven't received a military order from someone to transfer troops to Qian County, not to mention that the night is deeper and quieter, and it is not easy to open the city, so let's wait until the day dawn verifies the identity." ”
Hearing this, Xiahou Lan immediately said: "We are under the military order of the King of Wei, directly transferred us here, since the army received the order, immediately rushed non-stop, ran more than 300 miles in three days, the army is exhausted, even the food has been cut off, General Qi is pitiful, let me wait into the city, my general and the whole army will never dare to forget the benefits of the general." ”
I saw that the general at the head of the city pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, in this case, you can enter the city first, and then submit the order of King Wei after entering the city, but because it is late, the army and the people have rested, so as not to disturb the people, you can only suffer some grievances and rest at the root of the city wall." ”
Xiahou Lan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "As long as we are given a bite to eat and a place to rest, we will already be grateful to Dade, and we will never dare to be picky." ”
"In that case, wait a minute."
After the general finished speaking, he ordered the drawbridge to be lowered, the city gate opened, and Zhao Yun's army entered. (To be continued......)
