Chapter 46: Intrigue and Intrigues
Zhao Yun ordered the army to be stationed outside Linjing County, but he and Guo Jia led a group of soldiers to quietly approach the county rule. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Before approaching, Zhao Yun sniffed with the tip of his nose and frowned: "What a heavy smell of blood." ā
Guo Jia also noticed the abnormality, stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt under his feet, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that there was a big battle here not long ago. ā
"Where is Ma Dai?"
At this time, Ma Dai also went out with the army because he knew the way, and when he heard Guo Jia's summons, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Guo Jia asked: "The Xiliang army is fighting in Gaoping County, has there been any fighting in other places?" ā
Ma Dai shook his head without thinking and said: "No, when Gaoping was approaching, our army withdrew from the vanguard army of the eldest brother, combined the troops in one place, and did not fight in other places. ā
Guo Jia nodded slightly when he heard this, and muttered, "This is strange, Silu's soldiers and horses will not come over so soon, who is it", suddenly, Guo Jia had a flash of inspiration, and asked softly: "After the reinforcements led by Wu Xi burned Han Sui's department before, there are traces." ā
Although Ma Dai didn't know Guo Jia's intentions, he now asked for help, and replied truthfully: "After Han Sui fell into a plan and was burned to death, he heard rumors in the army that he had offered a plan to Li Dao, so that he cut off the food route of our army and formed an encirclement, but Li Dao did not join forces with Wu Xi's army, as if the world had evaporated, and he lost his trace. ā
When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and said firmly: "A good trick to secretly control Chen Cang's plan is simply a good thing to kill three birds with one stone." ā
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?" ā
"Wu Xijun has been calculating from the beginning, first brutally burned and killed more than 30,000 people in Han Sui's department, relying on the name of the vote, and then using this to make a statement to Li Dao, designing to transfer the army out of Linjing County, let Ma Teng and Li Dao fight, the two tigers will fight and one will be injured, no matter which side loses, as long as Wu Xijun successfully wins Linjing County, they are the biggest winners."
Zhao Yun is also a wise general, there was once Zhou Yu's layout, and now there is Guo Jia's advice, I feel that my brain is not enough, but now after waking up, I can be regarded as understanding, Wu Xijun does this, Ma Tengjun and Li Weijun will inevitably lose their strength, this is one gain, and then Linjing County will be secretly in the bag, this is the second gain, Guo Yan sits in Chang'an, although it belongs to the Yongzhou region, but it is close to Liangzhou, and borders Tianshui County, Anding County, even if Cao Cao's coalition forces defeat Guo Yan, you can also retreat to Anding, stabilize Liangzhou, this is three gains.
Zhao Yun remembered Guo Jia's plan before, and couldn't help frowning: "We are here to rescue the assassin of Liangzhou, so if it wasn't the previous plan, it can't be used?" ā
Guo Jia's emaciated body stood straight, and he laughed and said: "No, the original plan remains the same, this Linjing County will be besieged, and the Liangzhou Thorn History will also be saved." ā
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved, in the words of later generations, it is his relatives who stole your real estate certificate and took it for a mortgage, and it is strange that he can let you know, this is the truth, Wu Xi will definitely not tell Li Dao that Linjing County has changed hands, so the plan to save Zhao from Wei is still feasible, and there may be unexpected surprises.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to swing out and surrounded Linjing County, but he did not attack from a long distance.
As the commander of the Xiliang cavalry, Ma Dai naturally had a lot of experience in marching and fighting, so Zhao Yun sent 5,000 light cavalry to be led by him.
"Feng Xiao, what kind of expression do you say Wu Xi is at the moment." Zhao Yun couldn't help but be happy, if he had just taken down Anding Junzhi, he would be surrounded by other forces the next day, and he would be angry to think about it.
As Zhao Yun said, at this moment, Jia Xu was standing at the head of the city with a gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Wenhe, they have been around for a long time, and there is no follow-up, how is this good." Wu Xi was in a hurry, he wanted to go out of the city to fight, but was stopped by Jia Xu.
"The enemy army did not raise the flag, but at this time, the only one who could send such an elite cavalry was King Mu Li of Bingzhou." Jia Xu's face was cloudy, he had already guessed the cause and effect, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental, so that everything he did paved the way would be equivalent to cheapening King Li.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun set in the western mountains, and Zhao Yun sent scouts to scatter all over the place to prevent Wu Xijun from sending people to spread the message and disrupt the plan.
As early as the morning, Guo Jia had already sent a clever soldier, pretending to be a deserter, to Linjing County to deliver a message to inform Li Daojun that Linjing County was surrounded.
This is also Guo Jia's consideration of rashly spreading the news of Wu Xi's occupation of Linjing County, which will cause a backlash, so he retreated to the next best thing and exposed himself to the sun.
Early the next morning, Li Dao received the news from Linjing County, and he was furious and hurriedly convened his subordinates to discuss.
"General Che Cai, I thought we had to go back to defense, otherwise Linjing County would change hands, and our food and grass supplies would be cut off, although the world was big, we would have nowhere to stay." This is Yang Feng, a general under Li Dao.
Xu Rong stood up: "General Che Cai, I don't think I can go back to defense, Ma Teng is entrenched in Liangzhou, it is a big trouble for us, as long as we hold on for a few more days, we will definitely be able to attack Gaoping, disintegrate Ma Teng's department, and capture all of them. ā
Yang Feng sneered, he had already been at odds with Xu Rong, if it weren't for his outstanding martial arts and deep trust from Li Wei, he would have designed to kill him a long time ago.
"Xu Wenliang's words are wrong, under Ma Teng's command, but a group of ants under the tree, even if he pours the strength of a state to fight, it is just a mayfly shaking the tree, not to mention that the wife and children of the general are all in Linjing County, do you want to put the general of the car and the horse to the point of unfilial piety?"
"You?!" Xu Rong was furious, and was about to refute but felt a softness in his waist, knowing that it was Xu Huang who pulled him down.
"General Che Cai, if we withdraw our troops rashly, will Ma Teng's army take the opportunity to cover up and kill this, we don't know anything about the situation in Linjing County at the moment, if we fall into the enemy's conspiracy and tricks, wouldn't it increase casualties and chill the morale of the army." Xu Huang bowed his hand to speak, but Li Wei nodded.
Yang Ding bowed his waist and said: "Otherwise, our army will be divided into two roads, continue to trap Gaoping County all the way, catch turtles in the urn, and gallop all the way to Linjing County to open the gap." ā
"What General Yang Ding said is reasonable, but rashly dividing the troops is a taboo for soldiers, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out at both ends, and this plan will not be used." Xu Rong shook his head again, although what he said was reasonable, but it also caused Yang Feng and Yang Ding's dissatisfaction.
Yang Feng immediately opened his mouth to scold, but was interrupted by Li Dao waving his hand: "What is the noisy and shouting, Li Li, you can talk about it." ā
Li Li stepped forward: "General Che Cai, I secretly thought that several generals were reasonable, but this plot was scored first, and this priority had to be seen to see which one would obtain greater benefits, so that a judgment could be made." ā
said it was equivalent to not saying it, but Yang Feng seized the loophole in his words: "General Che Cai, what Li Li said makes sense, Linjing County is the foundation of the general, and all the relatives and family members are in it, and if they are lost, they cannot be recovered, but Ma Tengjun's breath is still alive and has already injured his muscles and bones, and after this battle, he will be afraid of the tail, and our army will be able to take it again when he recuperates in the coming year." ā
Xu Rong clenched his fists and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xu Huang, but he didn't make trouble on the spot.
Li Wei glanced at Xu Rong and saw that he lowered his head and didn't know what to think, so he said: "Since you have no other opinions, then we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to Linjing County, but..."
"The general of the chariot cavalry is worried that Ma Teng will kill the horse gun and catch us off guard?" Yang Feng bowed his waist flatteringly.
"Exactly."
"I heard that General Yang Ding captured Ma Teng's second son, Ma Tie, a few days ago, and now he is seriously injured and is dying, we can use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for Ma Teng's withdrawal."
"Ma Teng has been in battle to kill the enemy for 20 years, how can a son be impressed?"
Yang Feng said with a smile: "This Ma Teng lost his wife in his early years, and he loves his sons the most, although he is stern, he actually loves him everywhere, as long as the general of the Che Cavalry sends a soldier who can speak well to explain the power, Ma Teng will definitely have a choice." ā
"So it will be as you say."
At noon, the soldiers sent by Li Dao entered Gaoping County and came to Ma Teng.
"Lord Assassin Shi, your second son Ma Tie was captured the day before yesterday, intending to commit suicide, we tried our best to rescue, and we are still dying at the moment, just when an urgent report came from Tongguan, General Li Dao intends to make peace with the adults and send troops to reinforce Chang'an, as long as the adults lead the troops back two hundred miles, we will definitely return Ma Tie at that time, I don't know what the adults want."
