Chapter 322: The Indifferent Man
Deputy Marshal Ji said that he hoped that the army would rest, and Zhang Zifang led the troops out late at night!
Prince Qin and Li Wen both looked at Zhang Liang in surprise. The early arrival of Chu Jun www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" Pavilion made both of them a little worried, but Zhang Liang said that the other party was here to send him to death. They were afraid that Zhang Liang would underestimate the enemy, so they were all ready to persuade them.
"Brother Zifang, don't take the enemy lightly! Although the number of Chu troops is small. But after all, they are all elite! Moreover, our border army is now hungry and its combat strength is limited. I'm afraid it's hard to fight the other side! ”
After Prince Qin finished speaking, Li Wen also casually clasped his fists and said to Zhang Liang urgently: "Yes, king." What King Qin said is extremely true, it can be said that there is no danger to defend within this pass. If we fight against the Chu army, I am afraid that we will be defeated in less than a day. ”
Hear the two tell themselves about the comparison of the two armies, as well as the analysis of combat power. Zhang Liang just smiled slightly, and then replied in a low voice: "Do you two think I am two hundred and five?!" I didn't say I had to fight hard. Since we have no danger to defend, we simply do not defend. I'm going to sing an empty city plan to Chu Jun! As long as they can be shaken for a day, Bai Yuan's new army will arrive at that time. At that time, I can only dig more pits for the Chu army. ”
Hearing what Zhang Liang was going to sing, King Qin and Li Wen were confused. And Zhang Liang didn't talk to them in detail at this time, but just found a few sergeants and civilians on his own, and then whispered with them. When he finished speaking, he could only see the sergeant and the people nodding incessantly, and they seemed extremely excited.
King Qin was always unclear about Zhang Liang's actions. I wanted to wait for him to come back and ask him in detail, but as soon as the other party returned to his side, he said urgently: "Brother Ziying, I bother you to take the sergeant to your barracks now." The people let them go back to their homes first. Rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning you just need to get the whole army up early and pretend that nothing happened! Also, you must pretend that you have enough food, but if you can't do it, you can find a few sergeants to practice martial arts in the camp, and then let others watch. In this way, it will give people the appearance that they are full of food and have nothing to do. ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's arrangement, King Qin only felt even more confused. But before he could ask, Zhang Liang continued: "Oh, that's right. You don't have to worry about the sergeants and civilians I talked to just now, I have a task for them. Then please give me 2,000 men and horses, and go with me and Tianyu tomorrow morning to meet the Chu army. ”
The assignment of sergeants and civilians was understandable to everyone. Knowing that Zhang Liang was going to use 2,000 men to meet the Chu army, King Qin and Li Wen both found it unbelievable. They even think Zhang Liang is crazy! But if Zhang Liang is not crazy, this move is completely no different from suicide.
Seeing that the two of them were very surprised by their arrangement, Zhang Liang immediately took out the tiger talisman given to him by Fang Cai Ziying. Then he said with a smile: "Brother Ziying, you said that this battle was commanded by me, since this is the case, please believe me!" ”
Ziying wanted to raise an objection to Zhang Liang's arrangement, but when she saw that the other party took out the tiger talisman, she couldn't hold back anymore. Since he chose Zhang Liang, he can only trust Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang saw that Ziying had no opinion on his own arrangements, so he turned to Li Wen and ordered: "Li Wen, you will focus on the people tomorrow, try to make them endure for a day, and I will give you special instructions later!" ”
After Li Wen heard Zhang Liang's order, he hurriedly surrendered his promise and signaled that he was willing to obey the command of King Han.
After Zhang Liang had made proper arrangements for everything, he took Tianyu and began to check the way for the Chu army to come here.
---------
The army of the Chu army was approaching the border pass at full speed. At this time, the 50,000 sergeants were all a little tired.
After seeing that the men and horses were a little tired, Ji Bu hurriedly said to the dragon: "Boss, I think let the army rest for a while." With such a rapid march, even when you reach the border pass, you are sleepy and tired. So how to fight? ”
Hearing Ji Bu's opinion, Long He casually glanced at the sergeant behind him who kept moving forward. After seeing that they were all tired, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Brother Ji, I can do it too." The military advisor gave an order, let us take the border as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. If we can reach the border city tomorrow morning, it won't take a day to take it, and then the gateway to the Central Plains will be under our control. ”
Hearing Long and Fan Zeng's order, Ji Bu casually continued: "Commander, I'm afraid that we are so tired of marching, and when we arrive, the soldiers are already tired and weak, how can we fight with the Qin army at that time." ”
Regarding Ji Bu's worries, Long Ji seemed very disdainful. "Qin Jun? Hmph, according to the intelligence of the military advisor, they have long been hungry. Before we set off, there were already signs of food shortages at the border gates. It is estimated that there has been no food for many days now. Do you think our Chu army elite will be afraid that they will not succeed?! ”
Ji Bu also knew everything that Long Ji said, and when he heard the other party's analysis, he immediately echoed: "What the boss said is extremely true, in this case, what is the difference between us arriving a day early and arriving a day late?!" I am a soldier who feels sorry for our Jiangdong! ”
"Brother Ji, how can I not feel sorry for our soldiers?! I'm not afraid of the Qin army, but I'm afraid that the Huns will take the opportunity to rush through the pass! If they had known about the food cut-off at the border gates, I am afraid they would have raised a large army to attack it. What is the use of letting them take the city first, when we go? ”
Knowing that the dragon was worried about the Huns, Ji Bu suddenly lost his words. He also knew the great danger of the Xiongnu, so he had to endure it.
Long Ji sighed helplessly after seeing the other party's unwilling look. Then he glanced at the panting sergeant beside him, and then shook his head and said to Ji Bu: "Brother Ji, forget it, you go and give orders!" Let's take a break. But you must get to the border city by noon tomorrow! ”
Hearing that the coach was relieved, Jibu hurriedly agreed. Then he ordered the whole army to stop and recuperate.
----------
At nightfall, the scout once again passed the information back. After learning that the Chu army had begun to recuperate, Zhang Liang immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I thought Long Ji and Ji Bu really didn't want to die?!" If I had followed the rhythm of their original march, I would have been half exhausted. Now that they know how to rest, it shows that the two of them are not stupid. ”
Ziying heard Zhang Liang's praise for the two, and then continued: "Brother Zifang, the two of them are the generals under Xiang Yu. After a long time on the battlefield, it is impossible not to understand this truth. ”
After Zhang Liang heard Ziying's words, he replied in a deep voice: "Of course they understand, but they are worried that the Xiongnu will attack in advance, so they want to take the border pass first. It is precisely because of this that they forcibly marched at any cost. ”
Hearing that the Chu army forcibly marched because he was worried about the Xiongnu, Ziying also nodded and agreed. "As you said, the Chu army should be worried that the Xiongnu will capture our pass one step ahead of them. But now that they have begun to rest, it seems that they will arrive at noon tomorrow. ”
Zhang Liang did not agree with Ziying's speculation. After seeing him shake his head slightly, he immediately replied to Ziying: "You are wrong, Brother Ziying." Just now the intelligence said that the Chu army began to rest, but it did not say that they set up camp. In my opinion, they only had a short break, and I guess they have already begun to force their march again. Therefore, the arrival time is still early tomorrow morning. ”
Knowing that the Chu army would still arrive in the morning, Ziying was extremely puzzled by this. "Is Chu Jun crazy? The difference between tomorrow morning and noon is only one or two hours, and they are so desperate for these two hours. ”
Faced with Ziying's question, Zhang Liang casually explained to him: "Brother Ziying, don't underestimate these two hours. Do you know that when you wake up in the morning, although you are much better after a night's rest, you will feel even more hungry because you have no food at the border? Therefore, the best time to attack, of course, is in the morning. The dragon is not a fool, and his battle was not in vain. “
After understanding the reason, Ziying had to shake her head helplessly and sigh. Seeing that the other party was worried, Zhang Liang hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry, I have a way to deal with him." Are you ready for the two thousand sergeants? “
Hearing that Zhang Liang asked the sergeant, Ziying hurriedly replied: "It's been selected, all of them are good shooters." However, they are all physically exhausted, and I am afraid it will be difficult to fight! “
Zhang Liang learned that the sergeant was ready, and hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, I don't need them to fight, just stand behind me and scare the Chu army." “
Ziying was always suspicious of Zhang Liang's plan. But he has been holding back and never asked. Now when he heard that the other party only needed 2,000 people to pretend, he couldn't help it at all.
"Brother Zifang, what the hell are you going to do?! But don't mess around! If you and these two thousand soldiers have three longs and two shorts, my army will be completely finished. “
Zhang Liang understood the meaning of Ziying's words very well. Once the commander and the vanguard fail or die, it will undoubtedly greatly weaken the morale of the whole army! And the only thing left of the current Qin army is morale, if even it is gone, then it can really only be slaughtered by others.
Looking at the sad child, Zhang Liang just replied lightly: "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough." There are so many beautiful daughters-in-law waiting for me at home, how can I be willing to die?! ”
Ziying saw that Zhang Liang was already able to talk and laugh at this time, and felt very helpless. But he also regained some confidence because of this, because Zhang Liang was telling the truth. He was indeed reluctant to die.
Just when Zhang Liang and Ziying were calculating Bai Yuan's marching route and time together, Yang Tianyu suddenly entered the tent. As soon as the other party saw Zhang Liang, he hurriedly bowed down and reported: "King, King Qin, the last general is ready." When do we depart? ”
Seeing that Tianyu was fully armed, and that he was about to leave, Ziying suddenly asked suspiciously: "It's almost midnight." Where are you going? ”
Without waiting for Tianyu to answer King Qin's question, Zhang Liang took the lead and said, "Brother Ziying, I will take Tianyu and the two thousand soldiers out to play first. Spend the night out tonight! Do what you have said. Also, don't go to disaster relief tomorrow, but I guess you won't have anything to eat! The most important thing is, no matter what you see the people becoming, don't go out, I want you to be an indifferent man! (To be continued.) )
