Chapter 117: All Together
Liu Bang learned that Zhang Liang had a countermeasure, and hurriedly said: "Since you have a good plan for the ovary, please tell me quickly." ”
Zhang Liang didn't rush to tell his strategy, but replied with a smile: "Pei Gong, have you forgotten? As I said, we need to survey the terrain carefully before we can formulate a strategy. I have an idea, but I still need to look at the terrain before I make a decision. ”
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang hurriedly instructed Fan Hao to select the escort sergeant, and then accompanied Zhang Liang to survey the terrain near Yongqiu. After they finished watching and returned to the camp, Zhang Liang decided to start talking about his plan.
"Pei Gong, if you are Li You, when will you take the initiative to attack?" Zhang Liang first asked a hypothetical question.
Liu Bang thought for a long time before replying: "Naturally, Zhang Han's reinforcements arrived before they went out of the city to attack." Only in this way will you be sure to win! ”
"That's right! We just want to take advantage of his psychology to lure him out of the city. ”
Zhang Liang saw that everyone was puzzled, so he continued: "There are two valleys on the left and right sides of Yongqiu, and the right side leads to the direction of Puyang, which is the only way for Zhang Han's reinforcements to arrive. On the left is the direction in which Li You's 30,000 follow-up soldiers and horses came. We first attacked the city with a small number of troops, so that he thought that we would take the city before his 30,000 men and horses arrived. After that, the sergeant was used to pretend to be Zhang Han to reinforce the army, and he killed from the valley on the right. At that time, we will pretend to be attacked and break through, and Li You will definitely go out of the city to cooperate. As soon as he left the city, we rushed over together, and we didn't believe we could solve him. ”
"But Zhang Han's reinforcements are not a few people who can pretend to be, if the number is too small, I'm afraid that Li You won't be fooled." Xiao He is a visionary after all, and he first saw the problem.
Zhang Liang nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Xiao He's idea. "What Brother Xiao said is extremely true, but I estimate that Zhang Han will not be able to send a large number of reinforcements at all, and Li You also understands this. Now General Xiang Liang's army is approaching Dingtao. Zhang Han has no time to clone, but he knows the importance of Li You, so he will definitely send a small number of sergeants to echo the situation. So we only need 10,000 horses to pretend. And the most important point of this plan is that Li You doesn't know that we will guess that he will ask for reinforcements and use it. So as soon as reinforcements appear. He was easily convinced. The remaining strength of our army is used as a response to deal with emergencies. For example, 30,000 horses and Zhang Han's reinforcements really came, and so on. ”
After hearing this, Cao Shen immediately rushed to say: "The 30,000 follow-up men and horses have intelligence, and it will take at least five days to arrive." If Zhang Han's reinforcements are not large in number, as Zhang Situ said, there is nothing to fear. As long as we move fast enough, maybe we can really cut through the chaos and break through Yongqiu City with one blow. But the premise is that Li You will really ask for help. ”
"Then how about we take a gamble that he will ask for reinforcements?" Zhang Liang smiled confidently.
Liu Bang listened to all the plans and felt that it was feasible. said to Zhang Liang: "Ofan, I will gamble with you, brother-in-law believes you!" I'll go and report this plan to Fan Zeng and let him make his own decision. ”
Zhang Liang didn't respond, just thinking about what loopholes there were in his plan, and since he finished speaking, there was always an inexplicable uneasiness.
Liu Bang told Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng about the overall plan. Fan Zeng fell into deep thought, and after a long time. He looked at Liu Bang and said, "The general's plan is very good, I don't know who came up with it?" ”
"It's Xiao He." Liu Bang hurriedly lied and deceived Fan Zeng. for fear that mentioning Zhang Liang would affect the other party.
Fan Zeng smiled lightly and expressed his approval, and then continued: "Since the general has come up with this plan, I hope that the general will not be afraid of difficulties and make this great contribution for my army, I hope that you will lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the city, and I will arrange 10,000 horses and horses to pretend to be Zhang Han reinforcements." Assist you, and after Li You is deceived, we will work together to kill him! ”
When Liu Bang heard that he let his people attack the city, he wanted to refuse, but after all, he was the leader of the rebel army. This time it was led by Xiang Yu again. If you violate the military order, I am afraid that your head will fall to the ground immediately. In the end, he chose to accept.
Xiang Yu suddenly spoke after Liu Bang left, and said, "Strategist, have you decided?" ”
Fan Zeng replied with a gloomy face: "Sure, Zhang Liangding is in his camp!" I can see through the other party's invitation to Zhang Han, and I can expect that Zhang Han does not have many reinforcements, and in the end he also cleverly uses the people, except for Zhang Liang, I can't think of a second person. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to leave them alone!" Fan Zeng replied firmly.
After Liu Bang returned to the camp to announce the news of the siege, Zhang Liang was also reluctant, but the idea was made by himself, and the wood was already in the boat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
The time of action was finally finalized on the second day, and all the plans Liu Bang, Fan Zeng and others went through it more than a hundred times, for fear of missing something. And afterwards, Liu Bang also got an exciting news that General Xiang Liang secretly sent 50,000 elite soldiers to help, and this moment has arrived.
Early the next morning, Liu Bang led the sergeants of his headquarters to attack Yongqiu City. Looking at Liu Bang's army that was gradually moving away, Fan Zeng's face was filled with the joy of victory.
By noon, Liu Bang's army had already arrived in the city. Under the leadership of Liu Bang, the army soon began to siege the city. The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the defenders of Yongqiu were unusually brave and good at fighting.
Gradually, Liu Bang's army began to become more and more difficult, but the planned pretended reinforcements did not appear for a long time. Zhang Liang had a bad premonition at this time.
"Could it be that Fan Zeng doesn't plan to act according to the plan at all?" Fan asked suspiciously.
This question made the hearts of all those who knew tremble, if this was the case, wouldn't everyone become a victim of Fan Zeng?!
Just when everyone was suspicious, there was a shout of killing behind them. If it were a normal day, I am afraid that it would be a little shocking, but at this time, everyone seems to be very calm.
But when everyone followed the prestige, they found that the military horses behind them had been killed from the valley on the left.
When everyone was puzzled, Zhang Liang shouted: "Not good! This is Li You's 30,000 follow-up soldiers and horses! ”
Liu Bang and others were shocked when they heard this. Cao Shen said in disbelief: "How is it possible, they won't come until four days later!?" ”
Zhang Liang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Cao Shen: "Brother Cao, you said yesterday that the other party would arrive in five days, where did this information come from?" ”
Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "It was the sentinel of Xiang Yu's army who informed him that it was the military information shared by the coalition forces." ”
After listening to Cao Shen's words, Zhang Liang shouted: "It's over! Thousands of calculations, I didn't count Fan Zeng, an old horseman, who borrowed a knife to kill people!! ”
"Ovary. What the hell is going on? Liu Bang was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time.
Zhang Liang sighed and hurriedly replied: "Pei Gong, now it seems that Fan Zeng asked you to think about attacking the city, but he just wanted to find out if I was in your camp, after learning the result. He will plan and send us to be the cannon fodder at the forefront. Judging from Cao Shen's words, he Fan Zeng had already thought of the method we said, and now he used it in turn to get rid of us by the enemy, I didn't expect that he would not hesitate to bury so many rebels in order to kill me! I'm the one who has caused you trouble, I'm sorry for you......"
"Ovary, you don't have to apologize. How can it be so easy for him Fan Zeng to put us to death! Fan Hao hurriedly enlightened Zhang Liang.
"Yes, ovary, don't be discouraged! I believe that there is no end to the heavens. We will block the enemy army, you quickly figure out how to get out of the current predicament, even if we die, we will die together. Liu Bang was so proud at this time, after speaking, he drew his sword and personally led people to rush to the enemy army in the rear.
Looking at the soldiers who are constantly fighting bloodily. Looking at Liu Bang and the others who rushed into the enemy camp, Zhang Liang suddenly sat on the ground. Ignore the flints and arrows around you. He took a quick look at the situation in front of him and watched the movement around him. In the end, his eyes stayed on the valley not far away, because there was a person there who was also looking at him, he was Fan Zeng! He carried countless sergeants behind him, as if telling Zhang Liang that only I can control your life and death.
Zhang Liang was no longer angry at this time. There is no unwillingness. Some are just a remorse, hating that they can't see through Fan Zeng's tricks, hating that they can't get rid of the other party and save these 8,000 lives.
At this time, Fan Xu also saw Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu in the valley in the distance, and then pointed at each other with a sword and scolded: "Xiang Yu." You call yourself a hero, and you have 70,000 soldiers and horses to do this indiscriminately! I can't look down on a bear like you! Hahahahaha"
With Fan Xu's laughter, the gate of Yongqiu City opened, and Li You was already planning to annihilate Liu Bang and the others, because he saw that the valley on the right had also killed all the way to the army, and Zhang Han's reinforcements had arrived......
Looking at the Qin army coming out of the valley on the left and right, Fan Zeng looked up to the sky and sighed: "God really helps me, I never thought that Zhang Han's reinforcements would also arrive, today Zhang Liang is difficult to fly, and he can also eradicate Liu Bang in one fell swoop." God bless Major General! ”
Xiang Yu was unwilling at the moment, he didn't want to end his competition with Zhang Liang, it would only make him feel like a coward. But he chose to accept Fan Zeng's plan, but his heart was also dripping blood.
When Liu Bang and the others saw the soldiers and horses slaughtered in the valley on the right, they immediately knew that it was definitely not Fan Zeng's reinforcements, and they already knew what they would face. But there was no fear or uneasiness on their faces. They intend to fight to the end. Die! Be like a man, too!
When everyone began to fight hard for their beliefs and ideals, Zhang Liang stood up! With all his strength, he shouted at his sergeant, "Everyone assemble to break through!!" When he broke through, he shouted loudly: General Xiang Liang secretly sent 50,000 elite soldiers to help Xiang Yu break the city!! ”
Liu Bang and his sergeants were stunned by Zhang Liang's words, they didn't know why he let themselves say this, but they chose to believe and believe Zhang Liang's choice!
I saw that Liu Bang's remaining soldiers gathered one after another, and they fought hard, intending to break out of the other party's encirclement, and at the same time kept shouting: "General Xiang Liang secretly sent 50,000 elite soldiers to help Xiang Yu break the city!! “
Qin Jun was shocked by the opponent's desperate fight, and was even more overwhelmed by their words. But there was one person who fell to the ground after hearing these words, and he was Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng had just sat down, and Xiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help. I saw that he closed his eyes tightly, as if he was in great pain. Then he hurriedly said to Xiang Yu: "Young General, hurry!" Kill it with all the sergeants!! We must kill all the Qin troops, and after occupying Yongqiu, quickly reinforce General Xiang!! ”
Xiang Yu didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly asked, "Strategist, what's wrong?" Didn't the reinforced sergeant just inform his uncle that he had won Zhang Han again? Why did you rescue your uncle? “
Fan Zeng was already beating his chest anxiously at this time, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "General Xiang is only a small victory, the strength of Zhang Han's army still exists, and it is reported that Hu Hai has requisitioned the troops that can be used in the whole country and handed them over to Zhang Han's command!" Zhang Liang's words shouted were to let the Qin army reach Zhang Han's ears, once Zhang Han learned that General Xiang Liang's troops were insufficient, he would definitely counterattack, and the general would be in danger at that time! If the general has a bad pool, who will restrain the righteous emperor. If Emperor Yi gains real power, it will be difficult for my Xiang family to fight for the world again!! And once Zhang Han succeeds, we won't be able to attack Yongqiu City for a long time, and we will end up with the enemy on our backs! He, Zhang Liang, is fighting to the death, and he will drag the Xiang family to the end!! (To be continued.) )
