Chapter 140: Yanmen County (II)
The next day, the three of Zilong, who had been decided, made an important decision, Wei Ke was alone, led 50,000 troops, waved his army north, and when he set off, he looked at Zilong's smile and did not speak.
Zilong pulled Wei Kegu's hand over, and advised: "He Bayun and Yuwen Qiu are sitting in Wuchuan, these two are well-known heroes in the north, you must not underestimate the enemy, if Li Chong returns to the army to rescue, you may have to fall into a dilemma, you must not fall in love, you can only lead Li Chong to retreat slightly, when the time comes, Du Luo Zhou can have a chance to breathe, Li Chong and other Wei Tingying dogs, there is no time to point the spearhead at my Dingzhou, take care!" ”
Wei Kegu nodded and asked, "Are you really sure that there will be changes in Huanzhou and Shuozhou in the near future?" ”
Zilong smiled and said: "What's more, if my expectations are good, according to the news brought by Ge Shuai's herald, Zhongshan, Zuorencheng and other places will soon undergo great changes, as long as you preserve your strength in the north, you will definitely have a place to use in the future, rest assured!" ”
Wei Kegu does trust Zilong very much, but Zilong said such an illusory inference, which really made him feel a little apprehensive in his heart, if Zilong's inference was wrong, then he would be equivalent to bringing 50,000 people into Wei Ting's encirclement, and he would die for a lifetime!
Seeing that Wei Kegu was still worried, Zilong smiled and said: "I have something here, if you are really in danger, you can hand it over to He Bayun, and then first respond to the story and pretend to take refuge, he will definitely believe you!" ”
As he spoke, he untied a gold bead from his neck and stuffed it into Wei Kegu's hand, Wei Kegu looked at it for a long time, except for the exquisite carving and the word Zilong on it, there was nothing special about it, but it was also cherished and put away.
"In this case, then Wei Kegu will take the first step, Ao Cao Zilong, you two should also be more careful!"
As he spoke, he took an army of 50,000 and marched north.
After all the way to the battle, although the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, the prisoners received along the way and the admiration from all over the country also allowed the Northern Expeditionary Army to barely maintain the scale of 100,000 people.
Now the troops are divided into two routes, and the remaining 50,000 people, led by Gao Aocao himself, after Zilong's order, waved the army south, and went straight to Yanmen County!
In the camp covering an area of 1,000 acres, there has been no one since then, except for a few traces of burying pots and cooking, setting up camp tents, and reorganizing the army's drills, as if nothing had happened.
The marching route set by Zilong was not to go straight to Yanmen County, but to choose a node slightly closer to Yanmen County from between Yanmen County and He Batsheng, so as to be able to intercept halfway.
This arrangement is not that Zilong wants to annihilate He Batsheng in one fell swoop, but just to be able to meet with the sworn brothers of the day and talk about their respective experiences since separation.
Poor Gao Aocao led an army of 50,000 people, and he was willing to seek near and far for Zilong's own selfishness, if they found out, they didn't know what everyone should think of Zilong.
I could expect such a scene, but Zilong didn't care.
The road to Yanmen County is long, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is mostly infantry, because although Zilong urged again and again, the speed of the march is still unsatisfactory.
Finally, on the seventh day, the march reached ten miles outside Yanmen County.
Yanmen County is located in the Taihang Mountains, surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Along the way, he didn't meet Hebatsheng, Zilong was a little disappointed, and secondly, he was a little lucky.
However, when he came to Yanmen County and saw the Heba battle flag hanging high at the city gate, Zilong realized that he was still one step slower, although in terms of distance, Zilong had an advantage, but he forgot an important information.
This information was deduced by himself.
It is very likely that He Batsheng and Er Zhurong have reached some kind of tacit understanding, so with the help of Er Zhurong, it is very simple for He Batsheng to equip his team with war horses.
However, Zilong couldn't figure it out again, according to his estimate, He Batsheng came to Yanmen County this time to cooperate with Er Zhurong's actions.
If Er Zhurong and He Basheng are the same cavalry, how can they form a cooperation between different arms?
It's a pity that he doesn't have the heart to delve into these anymore, Yanmen County is between Liangshan Mountain, steady and horizontal, except for this road, it seems that he can only take a detour.
But this circumambulation, I'm afraid it will take more than a month in vain, Zilong has no time to go around, grain and grass is a big problem, and whose hands does Yanzhou fall into, is an imminent problem.
How to profit from it is what Zilong wants to know most, and how to pass through Yanmen County without losing the main force is what Zilong is most eager to know.
That night, ten miles outside Yanmen County, Zilong came to Gao Aocao's camp tent and discussed the matter with Gao Aocao, but unfortunately Gao Aocao's stunned mind only put forward one opinion from beginning to end.
"Let's buckle the challenge, rush up, attack the city, it won't take two days, just with the thousands of defenders in this pass, it will be difficult to resist at all."
Zilong laughed, such a direct and violent idea is really a good match for Gao Aocao!
"Every brother's life is born to his parents and raised by his parents, if he can not sacrifice, he will not sacrifice, we should cherish them as if we cherish ourselves, right?"
These words, in fact, are in the heart of Gao Ao Cao, he used to be regarded as the one who sacrificed at will, so he was quite sensitive to this, and now he is more and more in a high position, and he has somewhat forgotten it.
However, when I heard Zilong say this, the taste of being regarded as an ant in the past came to my heart again, and of course I didn't hesitate to think that what Zilong said was correct.
"Yes, Zilong, what you said is so right, who is not raised by his parents? Why should people be regarded as ants? Just do as you say, uh, what do you say? ”
Zilong's face was in a cold sweat, this brother was too casual, just now he looked like he had no hesitation, and he looked like he was going to succeed and his bones withered, but now he has become a person who cherishes every innocent life, so that Zilong didn't react.
"Well, I haven't thought of it yet, but I must not look at my brothers, even enemies, and lose their lives so easily."
As he spoke, he stood up and wandered for a while, but he didn't have a clue, that is, he could control the casualties with the least amount and capture Yanmen County, which was definitely a difficult question to answer.
However, Zilong's bullish temper made him unable to ignore the lives of many people, and he pondered for a long time, and a day passed by suddenly, but Zilong still didn't think of a way.
Gao Aocao saw that it was dark, and ordered to bury the pot to make rice, it was the night when the north wind suddenly rose, and the camp tent was blowing, Zilong sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Gao Aocao raised a glass and drank sadly, many thoughts in his heart were all approved by Gao Aocao, but he was overturned by himself.
Gao Aocao felt sad when he saw it, patted Zilong on the shoulder, and said in a daze: "Zilong, since you can't think of a way, you don't need to worry too much, the brothers all know your thoughts, so naturally there will be no complaints."
We will forcibly attack the city, and we will not waste many troops, people, you have to accept your fate, you are not a bird, can you still fly over? ”
Gao Aocao is sincere enlightenment, but unfortunately Zilong doesn't need enlightenment now, but when he finished speaking, Zilong's already confused eyes suddenly flashed.
"What do you say? Say it again! ”
Gao Aocao was stunned for a moment and muttered: "People, you have to accept your fate!" ”
Zilong hurriedly said: "No, it's not this sentence!" ”
"Can you still fly over?"
When Zilong heard this, he laughed wildly, so frightened that Gao Aocao thought that Zilong had lost his mind and went crazy, and he was at a loss! (To be continued.) )
