Chapter 219: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake?
In the blink of an eye, the time had already arrived in the early morning of the third day of the Wei army's siege of Zhengcheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the sky was just getting light.
But in a forest not far from the Qin army, Wu Ming was quietly sneaking with tens of thousands of Wei troops.
In the sky, a white dove flew in and landed on Wu Ming's shoulder accurately. This white dove was specially taken out by Liu Yun to contact the military intelligence, how could Wu Ming not recognize it.
Reaching out and removing a piece of cloth from the white pigeon's leg, there were only four simple words on it: "Han Xiang died".
This is the condition that Wu Ming and Shen Buxi agreed to at the beginning. In addition to grain, grass and gold, the most important thing is to let Shen not die! And he must die, only when he dies can Wu Ming be relieved to deal with the Qin army.
After all, the Legalists were the masters who later achieved the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Without their change of law and strength, the Qin State is estimated to still be a barbaric capital in the west.
Moreover, coupled with a good play performed by Shang Ying now, Wu Ming has paid attention to today's big figures, especially those from the Legalists.
This Shen is not harmful, it will be a trouble in South Korea sooner or later, and it must be executed, otherwise if this thing is stabbed in the back, I am afraid that this time I will be over.
Now that it was confirmed that Shen Buxian was dead, Wu Ming, who was hiding under a pile of wild jujube trees, showed a chuckle.
It was also at this time that Wu Ming stretched out his hand to summon the generals beside him, and commanded softly: "Order, the army is sneaking along the mountain road to the south, and no one is allowed to make a big move, from the mountain path, around the back of the Qin army, to prevent the Qin army from retreating-"
"No—"
After understanding Wu Ming's meaning, the general cautiously tossed around the front and rear of the army, passing the military order to set off.
The terrain here is complicated, and there has never been much marching in Korea. Wu Ming still caught the nearby people who went up to the mountains to hunt, and only after asking did he learn about such a road.
The mountain trail is hidden, and of course, the original distance will be doubled from here. But it's worth it.
If you don't want to find a way to hold back the Qin army, I'm afraid that before Han Wei's army approaches the Qin army, the Qin army has already left.
The mountain trails, some of which are treacherous, are only allowed to be passed by one person at a time, which also greatly increases the time of the march.
But fortunately, before sunset, Wu Ming led an army of 10,000 to successfully detour to the rear of the Qin army by virtue of his discernment of the direction.
The carrier pigeon was released by Wu Ming when he was halfway through, so as to ventilate Liu Yun and Zhang Meng, who rushed back with Shen Bu's head.
Remind them that they can march according to their plan.
It's nighttime. Xincheng of South Korea ordered Zhang Fu to go to the Qin army's military camp as an envoy.
At this time, the Qin army camp was well defended and brightly lit. Shang Ying is entertaining Zhang in the main account.
"Xincheng Ling is willing to come to our army in his busy schedule, what a rare guest-" Sitting in front of the middle of the case, Shang Ying raised his wine pout in one hand and smiled kindly: "Xincheng Order, please-"
"Daliang makes an invitation-" Zhang maid also raised the wine pout at this moment, and the two of them each smiled, and their words and deeds were all revealing courtesy.
After a pout, Shang Ying grabbed the chicken placed on the table in front of him and ate it in a big gulp.
For the arrival of Maid Zhang, how could Shang Ying, an old and cunning figure, not know what it meant? So at this time, I don't want to deal with Zhang Maid, and I don't take Zhang Maid in my eyes.
In this regard, Zhang Maid didn't care. South Korea has natural disasters and little food, although the credit for this belly of Xincheng is his Zhang Maid, but King Han has nothing to reward the army, so he just sealed him Zhang Maid a Xincheng order.
It's been a long time since I was in the army to eat meat, and right now in the Qin army, chicken, duck, and fish are all good barbecue! This is to stabilize Shang Yang first, and it is not in the way to talk while eating.
So Maid Zhang was not in a hurry.
also ate like Shang Ying, but in the end, he was a guest, and he still paid attention to his image.
It wasn't until a moment later that Zhang Maid wiped his mouth and said loudly: "Daliangzao entered my South Korea this time, called borrowing the road, my king heard that Daliangzao garrisoned my Korean border, neither entered, nor retreated, and now the agreed period of Daliangzao has arrived." Dare to ask Da Liangzao, when will the Qin army withdraw from my territory in South Korea? ”
"The time is near?" At this moment, Shang Ying showed a puzzled face, and the smile on his face just now disappeared in an instant! This face changed really quickly, "The five-day period, and now it's only been four days, isn't Xincheng Ling Mo a bad memory?" ”
Not only did he change his face quickly, but now he also played a scoundrel. This scene fell in the eyes of Zhang Maid, which really made Zhang Maid feel funny.
It's funny from the heart. The standing wood at the south gate of Shang Yang has become a good story, and the kingdom of heaven knows it. Zhang Maid has always thought that this Shang Ying is a trustworthy person. I don't want to talk about panic, but I don't blush at all, and my heart doesn't beat. Flowing clouds and water-
It's just that Shang Ying doesn't know. At this time, in addition to the 10,000 Wei troops led by Wu Ming, who had penetrated behind the Qin army, the Wei and Han coalition forces commanded by Liu Yun and Zhang Meng, a total of 50,000 troops, had begun to move closer to this side with the Han army playing the vanguard. At this time, it was less than ten miles away from the Qin army's camp.
Within a radius of ten miles, there are already scouts of the Qin army under normal circumstances. In order to be able to let Zhang Maid come out safely. The Han and Wei coalition forces advanced according to time.
Today's timing is exactly the same as the stipulated time. Therefore, when they arrived at this place ten miles away, the coalition army did not stop at all, but accelerated the speed of their advance, striving to advance another five miles before the Qin scouts transmitted the news back to Shang Ying.
……
"The dignified Qin State is a good man, don't you want to play the play of a yellow mouth? Today's five-day period has arrived, my king has a special order to come down to negotiate with Da Liang Zao, if Da Liang Zao refuses to leave, I Korea, can only make a decision, and Qin State to use swords. If so, Daliang should be clear about the power of each! In the main tent of the Qin army, Zhang Maid was still smiling and talking to Shang Ying.
"Why should Xincheng be angry, Qin Han has no grievances today, martingale is here to excuse the way, why do you need to see each other with swords. Now that the five-day period has arrived, I wonder if King Han can grace it for a few days? ”
With a smile, Shang Ying's old face was not unusual at all, isn't this tantamount to admitting in disguise that it was he who was lying to himself, saying that the date had not arrived?
But the current Shang Ying, where is a little ashamed, but the corners of his mouth are joking: "Martingale heard that Wei sent troops to attack Han, and King Han should consider how to deal with Wei at this time." Martingale borrowed this time also to fight for the tyrannical Wei, if Xincheng ordered the return to the king of Han, martingale was willing to persuade the king of Qin to form an alliance with Han to jointly resist Wei. What does Xin Chengling think? ”
Hearing Shang Ying's words, Zhang Jian didn't rush to answer, but he didn't show an angry face either. It's just that the originally calm face has become a little worried. It's about the time now.
The main purpose of his visit was to give Shang Ying a hint of hallucination, that is, the Han and Wei coalition forces this time were the Han army to drive him out of Korea, and not really want to start a war with the Qin State.
But if he misses the time, or Shang Ying can see through all this, then he will be the first to die!
The alliance between the two countries has 50,000 troops, and once the news is returned, the possibility of Shang Ying's suspicion will definitely be very high. And Zhang Maid doesn't want to die yet, so the place where he should play still has to act-
Sure enough, at this time, Shang Ying stared at Zhang Fu again, and asked again, "I don't know what Xin Chengling thinks?" Today, the State of Chu calls for the invasion of Qi, and without the help of the State of Qi, the State of Wei has nothing to worry about-"
Saying this, the thinking on Zhang Maid's face suddenly became even stronger. But it's just because of the calculation of time, and I feel a little uneasy.
At this moment, listen to Shang Ying's words. After taking a deep breath to suppress the strangeness in his heart, Zhang Maid turned to show a flat expression and said: "Da Liang is worthy of the name of the world, Zhang Maid admires, but this matter must be agreed by my king!" Da Liang made good intentions, Zhang Maid can convey it on his behalf, however, what Zhang Maid said, Da Liang should also consider it, and my king ordered to increase troops to defend Luocheng! This meaning, with the talent of Daliang, there is no need for Zhang Maid to say more-"
At this point, Zhang Maid can be regarded as making his words clear. Wu Ming arranged for him to come, and the point was to say that King Han wanted to increase his troops to Luocheng and beware of your Qin army.
In this way, even if a Qin army scout came to report, perhaps Shang Ying would feel paralyzed, thinking that the Han and Wei coalition forces were nothing more than the garrison of Luocheng sent by the Han king.
The 20,000 Qin troops who followed Shang Ying were also elite, and judging from the current situation in South Korea, Shang Ying should not leave directly because King Han increased his troops to garrison Luocheng!
Just after Zhang's words fell, Shang Ying was not a little unusual, it seemed that he didn't put Han Jun in his eyes, in short, he didn't have any worries at all: "What the Xincheng Order said, the Martingale also remembered, and should consider it, but what the Martingale said was a great opportunity for Qin and Han, and there was a Lao Xincheng Order to pass on the words of the Martingale to the King of Han, if the King of Han did not allow it, the next time the Xincheng Order came, the Martingale will lead the army back to Qin." ”
At this point, Zhang Maid also felt that the time was almost up, so he got up directly and gave his hand, and responded loudly: "Daliangzao's words Zhang Maid will convey it, it is late at night, Zhang Maid will return to Xincheng, and tomorrow I will return to Zhengcheng to convey the good intentions of Daliang-"
Not long after, Zhang Maid got into the carriage under the escort of Shang Ying, and fled as if fleeing from the Qin military camp.
The merchant didn't do anything, and returned to his tent like a nobody, and continued to climb over the art of war.
But not long after Zhang Fu left, a Qin army scout rode quickly. After getting off the horse, he went straight to the main tent where Shang Ying was.
"Qi Daliangzao, five miles to the east, found traces of the Korean army, roughly estimated to be less than 40,000 men—" As soon as the scout entered, he bowed his hand and reported aloud.
Because it's night. The Han and Wei coalition forces did not light many torches, and in this case, it was normal for the Qin army scouts to make mistakes in their judgment. After all, you can't get too close, no.
"Coming so soon?" At this moment, Shang Ying's hand that was climbing over the bamboo slip suddenly stopped! The pair of eyes stared at the bamboo slip in his hand.
What this maid said is really not needed! Less than half an hour after he finished speaking, Han Jun really came. Now that I think about it, I just had Zhang Maid's actions and nervous face.
I didn't even get angry if I didn't leave. It is estimated that this thing that drove him away fell on his head.
The Qin army has 20,000 elites, and he is really not afraid of his 40,000 Korean troops.
Come to think of it, this maid knows that he is invincible. I want to make a noise first, and I will startle the snake, so that I can know the difficulties and retreat.
Thinking of this, Shang Ying's heart showed a smile again.
But he's been playing yin for many years! I'm still a little worried.
I saw him put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at the scout soldier and asked, "Is there any new news from Zhengcheng?" ”
"Back to Daliangzao, the Wei State still only defends and does not attack, attacking at night, during the day, the Wei army does not go out of the camp, and the four gates of Zhengcheng are closed day and night——"
"Where did the Han army that returned from Xincheng go?"
"The Han army did not prepare grain and grass, and left the city after preparing grain and grass in Yiyang early this morning, and is still on the way to Zhengcheng."
There's nothing wrong with the data from all walks of life!
At this moment, Shang Ying was completely calmed down, and ordered: "You go down and pay close attention to the movements of the 40,000 Korean troops-"
"No—"
……
With Shang Ying's carelessness. Originally, five miles away, the Han and Wei coalition forces that were speeding up were less than three miles away from them.
With just a few more moments of effort, the combined forces of the two countries can bite the Qin army in one fell swoop.
Of course, these circumstances naturally could not be concealed from the Qin army scouts.
"Qi Yu Daliangzao, the Korean army has reached within three miles of my camp—"
With the news coming, Shang Ying suddenly occupied his seat, and the bamboo slips in his hand were unnaturally placed on several cases.
It was only at this time that Shang Ying felt that the situation was wrong, and everything was not what he thought. If they go to Luocheng for defense, these Korean troops should be far away from themselves in the northwest direction!
At this moment, Shang Ying realized that things were not so simple, and his face also showed an ugly look of worry-
Fortunately, it's not too late to withdraw the troops, and if they don't fight together completely, it's still too late, right?
It's just that he doesn't know, why would King Han insist on doing this? Didn't he let King Han know about sending his head to Wei?
Although Shen knew that Shang Ying had taken Tan Xing away, he didn't know what Shang Ying was going to do at the beginning. If the matter has reached the ears of King Han, then it will be normal for South Korea to send troops.
In short, he is about to withdraw his troops. What if you know what's going on behind the scenes? Do you still have the ability to go to the Qin State to arrest me? The nations are a sentence in the open and a sentence in the dark, and he is a master of doing a line.
Looking at the faintly rising yellow dust in the eastern sky, the corners of Shang Ying's mouth had a hook smile, "It's a pity, Marting, how about this chasing King Han's wish?" ”
After some self-amusing ridicule, Shang Ying turned around and walked into the carriage, and said to the general riding beside him through the window: "Order the whole army, travel seventy miles, and return to Qin-" After the words fell, Shang Ying went back calmly and did not say a word again.
"No—"
With a few words from the generals outside, the army began to set off from slow to fast to west.
In the carriage, Shang Ying's face was still smiling.
