0386: Li Meng of the Mengjiang Line defected
Li Dian and Dong Xi were suddenly overjoyed when they saw Zhang Fei, and hurriedly asked, "Overseer, what did Inspector Huang say?" ”
Zhang Fei laughed and handed the battle watch to the two of them, "Look at it yourself, hahahaha." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Li Dian and Dong Xi finished reading the battle table, they couldn't help laughing, and said in unison: "This time Xiahoudun can't do anything!" ”
It turned out that Huang Gai crossed the river on the order of General Zhang Fei, and it was indeed a plan to lure the enemy. In fact, Zhang Fei didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were in Zou County, so he didn't have the idea of letting Huang Gai attack Zou County at all, but just asked him to lead the troops to smuggle across the Mengjiang River, and to create a false momentum when he chose the future or when he was Shen, alarming Xiahoudun and luring Xiahoudun to save Zou County overnight, so as to defeat the enemy with the power of the Huwei Army's night battle.
But Zhang Fei didn't expect that Xiahou had been a general for many years, discerning the military situation, and saw through Zhang Fei's plan halfway, so instead of going to save Zou County overnight, he planned to plan and divide the army to kill Huang Gai's army.
But what Xiahoudun didn't expect was that the few words he reprimanded Li Meng in Zou County laid a great curse for him. Although Li Meng's martial arts are mediocre and his talents are average, he thinks very highly of himself and is narrow-minded. After being reprimanded by Xiahoudun in public, he was angry in his heart, thinking that Xiahoudun did not understand military strategy and would be defeated.
After hearing that the Huwei army had crossed the Mengjiang River, Li Meng thought that the war was really expected by him. First, because he hated Xiahoudun in his heart, and secondly, he was afraid that the Huwei Army would break Zou County and endanger himself. actually took the initiative to send someone to find Huang Gai, and surrendered with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
This huge windfall made Huang Gai a little confused, after all, Zou County is still the hinterland of the enemy's army, and his own division is only 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if Li Meng's 3,000 troops are added, it is only 13,000 people. It is still very difficult to hold on to Zou County. So he didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he urgently wrote a battle table and asked the fast horse to send it back to Changxi, and asked Zhang Fei to decide.
Although Zhang Fei has not read much, he has been following Gao Yun for more than ten years, and he has also learned a lot of tactics in the art of war. What's more, Gao Yun deliberately taught him that after more than ten years, Zhang Fei was already familiar with marching and fighting. With the Yellow Cover Battle Watch, Zhang Fei felt that this was a crucial fighter. Cao Cao's main force of soldiers and horses only has two routes, in addition to the 200,000 troops led by Cao Cao himself, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Xiahoudun. If this fighter can be used to defeat Xiahoudun's army, then the four-way army line on the periphery of the Huwei army can quickly move closer to the middle and form an encirclement of Cao's army.
But this is just an intuition, what to do, Zhang Fei still has no idea in his heart. So he immediately wrote a battle report, and sent a fast horse overnight to ask his eldest brother Gao Yun for instructions.
What kind of person is Gao Yun, he was very excited when he saw the battle table, and immediately issued an order, and ordered the rear army to lead 30,000 elite cavalry, and quickly increased the number of Zhang Fei. Then he wrote a reply and told Zhang Fei that a large army had been sent to reinforce the middle road, so that Zhang Fei did not have to worry about it, and attacked with all his might, and he must defeat Xiahou Xuan's army.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he got the reply, and immediately gathered the whole army and arranged for the soldiers and horses to attack. In addition, three scouts were sent to the south road to meet reinforcements and explain the deployment of the battle situation.
Because Li Meng surrendered on his own initiative with the whole army, the news blockade was extremely tight, and Xiahoudun did not know it, and still arranged the battle according to the original plan. On the second day, Cao Ren led 30,000 soldiers and horses, crossed the Mengjiang River, and marched to Zou County. Running all the way for dozens of miles, but not a single soldier was seen, Cao Ren was suspicious in his heart, restrained the whole army to hurry, and rushed to the city of Zou County around noon.
Cao Ren covered his forehead with his hands and looked up at the city. saw that the head of Zou County was quiet, and there was not even a single figure. Cao Ren's heart became more and more uneasy, slapped his horse forward, and shouted to the city tower: "Li Meng'an is here!?" Open the gates of the city quickly! ”
The city was still quiet, and there was no reaction at all, as if this was an empty city. Cao Ren chuckled in his heart, and then shouted, "Li Meng! Open the gates of the city quickly! ”
Before the second voice fell, three gongs suddenly sounded on the city tower, and in an instant, countless flags were erected around the city head, and soldiers and generals were all over the city wall, each wearing armor and holding blades, and glaring angrily. A member of the enemy building in the middle of the strong general, holding an eight-petal lotus purple gold hammer, standing proudly, behind a word flag to the wind, on the book seven big characters, said: "Huwei Army Inspector Huang Gai".
All this happened so suddenly, Cao Ren was at a loss for a while, and pointed up at the city wall, but couldn't say a word. At this moment, a person flashed out behind Huang Gai, it was Li Meng, the guard general of Zou County, pointing at Cao Ren, and shouting: "General Zixiao!" Xiahoudun didn't know the art of war, and he was persuaded by my kind words, but he regarded a certain as a mustard. Such a general will be broken by the Huwei army sooner or later. Why don't you surrender early, so as not to suffer from slaughter!? ”
Cao Ren understood at this time, and scolded angrily, "Li Mengpifu!" A thief who sells for glory! I will tear your body to pieces! ”
Huang Gai laughed, "Cao Ren, don't take advantage of your tongue, now that General Li Meng has dedicated Zou County to General Huwei, you have lost all the food and grass, how can you fight again!?" It is better to listen to General Li Meng's advice and surrender early, General Huwei is the master of the world, and he will be able to reuse his feet."
poured Cao Renqi's blood into the pupils, and smoked the seven orifices, but there was nothing he could do. He brought his troops back this time, originally to reinforce Li Meng and fight Huang Gai in the field. The army didn't have any siege equipment, not to mention that there were 10,000 tiger troops in Zou County, it was an empty city, and Cao Ren couldn't climb it. In desperation, Cao Ren had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops and horses, and sent a fast horse to the camp on the south bank of the Mengjiang River to ask Xiahoudun for help.
Xiahoudun originally thought that Zou County would never be lost overnight, and Cao Ren would lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce him, and he would definitely be able to defeat Huang Gai's army. And Huang Gai is the general of the Huwei Army, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Fei not to go to the rescue. In order to prevent Zhang Fei from leading his troops to suddenly rush to the village, Xiahoudun deployed his troops and horses early and prepared to intercept Zhang Fei.
From the time of the hour to the future, Xiahoudun did not see a shadow of the Huwei army, and he was wondering in his heart, but he suddenly received Cao Ren's battle report, and he was full of anger at a glance, and he wanted to eat Li Mengsheng alive at that time.
When Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Wushuang, Cao Hong, Le Jin and other generals heard the news, they were also shocked and angry one by one, and scolded Li Meng for betraying the army and misleading the army. But it was useless to be angry, and Xiahoudun tried to stabilize his mind and hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures.
Le Jin persuaded Xiahoudun and said: "General, our army's grain, grass and baggage are all in Zou County, if it is lost, the army's heart will definitely be shaken." Besides, Zou County is the gateway to Yanzhou, an important place for military aircraft, and it must not be lost. Fortunately, Huang Gai's troops did not have many troops and horses, and if they were surrounded and attacked, it would not be difficult to recapture Zou County. It's just..., we must prevent Zhang Fei from taking the opportunity to cross the Mengjiang River north and attack me."
Xiahoudun nodded, "What Wen Qian said is very true, I don't know who I use, and even this disaster."
