Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Meng Crisis
Liu Yuan's shoulder was patted painfully, and he thought: Your vulture bone is really big! How dare you pat your boss on the shoulder! Liu Yuan was a little speechless, but he didn't take it to heart, it was very easy to intersect with such a straight man.
Having subdued the vultures, the group moved on. Liu Yuan, who was going to go directly to Qu'a County to meet Qin Liangyu, suddenly had a plan, and then changed his mind.
Two days later, Liu Yuan and his entourage arrived in Jurong County, northeast of Danyang County, which was only sixty or seventy miles away from Qu'a County, Wu County.
Liu Yuan stationed the army and sent people to Qu'a County to inquire about the situation. When he learned that Qin Liangyu had surrounded Qu'a County on three sides, leaving only a city gate in the direction of Jurong, Liu Yuan was secretly happy in his heart. His plan can be implemented.
In fact, Chen Gong left a city gate for Jiang Wei to escape. With the strength of Qin Liangyu's troops, there was no way to trap Jiang Wei to death in Qu'a City.
Leave a way out, Jiang Wei can't stand it anymore, so he will naturally leave. After all, he couldn't fight a war of attrition with Liu Yuan with the power of a county.
But at this time, Liu Yuan felt that he could use Jiang Wei's only "retreat" to make a fuss. I'm really getting better at fighting, and second-level strategists are really different! Liu Yuan began to narcissism again.
A few days later, in the camp outside Qu'a City, Qin Liangyu, Chen Gong, Yang Huiyu, and Wang Jun were discussing combat strategies. The spies came to report that there was an abnormality in Qu Acheng.
Several people ended the conversation and came to the outside of Qu'a County in person.
After observing for a while, Chen Gong said: "I don't really see it, but there is indeed something wrong on the city tower, and I should be preparing for evacuation." ”
"What does the advisor think we should do?" Qin Liangyu asked.
"If we don't find out, that's it, and since we do, we still have to give them a good taste. Let others see the military strength of our Wu County and know the consequences of the rebellion. In this way, let's go back and prepare now, send a few people to watch here, and once they really want to evacuate, report back immediately, and we will immediately chase and kill. I don't want to keep Jiang Wei, but I also want him to lose his troops and generals. Chen Gong said.
"Okay, according to Mr.'s wishes." Qin Liangyu directly clapped the board.
After that, several people returned to the camp.
It is the time when people are most sleepy. In the city of Qu'a, a team of soldiers and horses left the city. Not long after, all the people of the Han army pulled out the village and marched towards Qu'a County at full speed.
"Gongtai, can we enter the city now?" Qin Liangyu asked.
"The general will send someone to see the movement first." Chen Gong was cautious.
Qin Liangyu agreed and sent a few people into the city to check.
Several people quickly replied that the county seat of Qu'a was already an empty city.
Qin Liangyu no longer hesitated and ordered the whole army to enter the city.
The corpse of Qu'a County Commander was hung on the city tower, and in addition, there was no abnormality in the city, and everyone didn't expect that Qu'a City would get it so easily.
"Gongtai, they just walked a short distance, and if they catch up now, there is still a chance. And a few days ago, the lord had already informed us that if we won, he would intercept Jiang Wei in the middle. Even if we can't catch up for a while, we can wait for Jiang Wei to be delayed, and form a front and back attack with the lord. Qin Liangyu said.
"What Liangyu said is reasonable, I suggest leaving half of the people to guard the city to prevent Jiang Wei from going and returning. The rest of the men went in pursuit. Chen Gong said.
"That's it. Shizhi has high command, good martial arts, and is calm enough. Let you take five thousand soldiers to defend the city. The rest of the generals and all the spearmen will follow me in pursuit. Qin Liangyu made a decision.
After that, Qin Liangyu led the army to leave, and Wang Jun took over the defense of Qu'a County.
I don't know why, Jiang Weijun didn't seem to be walking fast, and half an hour later, Meng Shu, who was in front of Qin Liangyu's army, had already seen their backs.
Caught up so quickly, the opportunity for meritorious service has come again! Meng gained the spirit and quickened the speed of the march.
What's the matter, go so fast? The rear army is already struggling to follow, and it has to accelerate? Qin Liangyu was puzzled.
At this moment, a soldier stepped forward and said, "The traces of Jiang Wei's troops have been discovered, and General Meng Shu sent me to inform the general that he knows." ”
When problems are discovered, report them in time, this is the most basic rule in the army, and Meng Shu has long been familiar with it.
Hearing this, Qin Liangyu nodded, and was about to order the whole army to pursue at full speed. Chen Gong's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped it.
"General, quickly order to stop advancing, there may be an ambush ahead!" Chen Gong said eagerly.
It was too abnormal for Jiang Wei to be caught up so quickly, which did not match the ability that Jiang Wei had shown before. Lure the enemy! Definitely! It must be stopped quickly, or it will be too late!
There is an ambush? Although Qin Liangyu was puzzled, he still gave an order out of trust in Chen Gong.
However, the ranks are long, and it takes time from the time the order is given to the acceptance and implementation by all the troops.
At this time, Meng Shu had already entered a dangerous road with the troops in the front.
On the hillside next to the dangerous road, Jiang Wei saw that the middle and rear troops of the Han army had stopped, and sighed secretly. The Han army was very vigilant, and this time it was only able to win a small victory, and it could not inflict heavy damage on the Han army.
Chen Gong wants to teach Jiang Wei a lesson, why shouldn't Jiang Wei? This time he fought with the Han army, with one win and one loss, but he lost Qu'a County, and in general he still lost. That's it, the coming day is long, and there will be a chance to compete again in the future.
In fact, Jiang Wei was facing a combination of Qin Liangyu and Chen Gong, and his strength was only half of the opponent's, and it was already remarkable to get this result. Moreover, in this battle of wits with Chen Gong, he can be said to have won a small victory.
Jiang Wei no longer hesitated and ordered the arrow to be released.
Meng Huo, who was anxious to make meritorious contributions, suddenly found that the target he wanted to chase was missing, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a rain of arrows in the sky. He hurriedly swung his sword to block. The soldiers beside him fell one by one.
"Hurry back!" Meng Shu gritted his teeth and ordered.
Hearing the order, the soldiers hurriedly escorted Meng Shu to retreat, barely maintaining the formation. Rao is white-pole soldiers are well-trained, and there is still a stampede in some places. The threat to life cannot be taken lightly.
"The general who rode the black horse should be Meng Shu, concentrate on attacking him." Jiang Wei saw Meng Shu. After giving the order, he also stretched out his bow and aimed at him.
Meng Shu was Liu Yuan's number one general before, and if he could be shot to death, he would be able to break Liu Yuan's arm. How could such an opportunity be missed.
For a time, not only Jiang Wei, but also Xiahouba, E Huan, Wang Ping, and Zhang Wei all aimed at Meng Shu.
Unaware of such a dangerous situation, Meng Shu retreated while blocking the arrows of the other soldiers. In the general's mound, Meng Huo had no shelf, and drank with the soldiers all day long, and he drank his feelings. Watching his friends fall one after another, how could he remain indifferent?
Count the arrows! Shooting at Meng Huo from different directions, completely sealing off all his possible evasion routes. Since they were shot almost simultaneously, it was impossible to block them all.
