Chapter 44: Outside, the king's order is not subject to it

To the east of Chengdu, six miles on the east bank of the Tuojiang River, a low-lying place, shrubs and weeds, at this time it is spring, when all things wake up, but here is a sense of killing. A large army of 4,000 men and horses was crouching silently. I only heard a voice: "General Cai, the time agreed by the Lord is today, there are still two hours before noon, you can take a rest, ouch I'm tired to death, I rushed dozens of miles in the dark last night, fortunately I wasn't late, I'm tired to death." This voice is none other than Yang Huai's Deyang guard Yang Ren Yang Jiwei, who Yang Huai decided not to appear here, and the general Cai that Yang Ren said is naturally Cai Yang. I didn't expect the lord to be in Shu, if I hadn't received a secret letter from the lord a few days ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't know it, but looking at General Cai's reaction at the time, it seems that General Cai didn't know that the lord had entered Shu, haha, the lord acted so secretly, and secretly ordered the two of them to lead his troops to Chengdu, I'm afraid it would be a big war, and the credit for unifying Shuzhong is essential, hahaha.

Cai Yang glanced at Yang Ren, Yang Ren was slightly arrogant and a little arrogant, and he rarely looked down on others, especially those from humble backgrounds, but Cai Yang's knife skills won Yang Ren's respect. Cai Yang Zhengse said: "General Yang is the chief general under the command of the lord, how can it be so, the general is the soul of the three armies, if General Yang is still like this, imagine how the soldiers under him complain, what morale does such a soldier have, so it is not to live up to the trust of the lord." Cai Yang said so loudly and righteously, Yang Ren couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly straightened his waist and nodded to Cai Yang. Yang Ren was very helpless about Cai Yang, an old man who loved fame and wanted to surpass Huang Zhong, but what Cai Yang said always made Yang Ren have to obey.

Cai Yang looked up at the sky, estimated it, and said: "General Yang, although the main agreement is to attack at noon, our army might as well secretly move the army to the banks of the Tuojiang River in advance, and it would be better to personally observe the terrain." The two conspired again, and immediately ordered the army to get up and advance, and many soldiers were woken up in their dreams, after all, they were on the road at night last night, and many of them had only slept for about an hour this morning. In a moment, the light army set out on the road again, but this time it was no longer a night road, and there was no need to sneak around, but the scouts ran more frequently.

After a while, they saw a fast horse flying over, Cai Yang and Yang were surprised, there must be some surprise. I saw Kuaima Fei come down and kneel down on one knee: "General Cai, General Yang, four miles upstream, General Gao Shun has begun to attack, and has already attacked to the other side of the Tuojiang River." Cai Yang and the two were shocked, what, didn't they say that Xiang Wu began to attack at the same time. Cai Yang and Yang Ren couldn't help but glance at each other, and hurriedly ordered to speed up the march no matter what was hidden. At this time, there was a fast horse coming back from the front, but it was a scout who went to Tuojiang to spy on the river: "Two generals, the enemy soldiers on the west bank of the Tuojiang River are boiling, and the war horses are neighing, and it seems that the army is being reorganized." Yang Ren was startled and exclaimed: "General Cai, it must be the enemy who knows that our army has arrived." ”

Cai Yang glanced at the horse without purpose, and said: "Impossible, impossible, our army has just left, and even the scouts of our army are estimated to have not yet reached the Tuojiang River, which was also sent out this morning." Cai Yang pointed to the scout who returned and said to Yang Ren. Yang Ren must have said: "That's not why the camp is boiling because we found our enemy army, General Gao has already begun to attack and attacked the other bank, could it be." Yang Ren was overjoyed with Cai Yang, and Cai Yang was also happy: "Yes, it must be, General Gao is very anxious to attack the enemy, and the upstream defenders are coming for help, so the soldiers and horses here will leave the camp as a whole, not for the two of us, but for the upstream." ”

Yang Ren was recognized and affirmed by Cai Yang, and he was even more happy, and said: "General Cai, if I wait for the enemy army to leave the camp and cross the river again, wouldn't I be able to cross the river without a single soldier, and then suddenly kill upstream, and attack General Gao back and forth, the enemy army will be defeated." "Yang Ren's plan is really sound and absolutely feasible. Yang Ren was overjoyed when he said it, but he saw Cai Yang looking down at the corners of his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and the corners of his mouth began to have a crazy taste. I saw Cai Yang clenching his fists and smiling wildly at Yang Ren, but he didn't make a sound, and said softly: "Yes, let him go, let him go upstream, and I'll go to Chengdu twice." When Yang Ren heard Cai Yang say to let him go, he first understood, and he wanted to turn around and ask the army to slow down the speed of the march, so as not to be discovered by the enemy on the other side. Unexpectedly, when he heard the back, he almost fell off the horse and exclaimed: "What, go to Chengdu?" Suddenly he felt that his voice was too loud, which made the soldiers around him look over, Yang Ren couldn't help but nervously lowered his voice and grabbed Cai Yang's reins and shouted, "Crazy? The lord is upstream, the enemy army must have six or seven thousand, and General Gao only has three thousand soldiers to fight. Yang Ren thought to himself, waiting for the enemy army on the river bank to go upstream, and then crossing the river with Cai Yang to sneak attack, this is a sure battle. Cai Yang said that he was going to Chengdu, this, this, if Gao Shun couldn't stand it and Chen Lin had an accident, then Cai Yang and Yang Ren would not be able to cut off a hundred heads.

Cai Yang shook his hand and said firmly: "Impossible, General Yang, imagine that Tuojiang is now fighting fiercely, Chengdu must be defenseless at this time, the defenders of Chengdu must still think that our army is still in a stalemate with the defenders upstream, and must not think that our army will come from Deyang, as long as my 4,000 army suddenly kills under the city of Chengdu, I will be able to fight down, Chengdu, that is Chengdu, the world will remember you and me because of this war, General Yang." ”

How could Yang Ren not know how much credit Chengdu had, but this Cai Yang was too bold, not to mention that Chen Lin's order was to let the army cross the river first, and now Gao Shun was still fighting fiercely upstream, Cai Yang wanted to stay away from here and attack Chengdu dozens of miles away. Besides, if Chen Lin was killed by the enemy in Gao Shun's army, then everything in Hanzhong would be over, and the young master would still be so young, so it would be strange if the second general and the third general did not skin the two. So Yang Ren still insisted: "General Cai, I also know the merits of Chengdu, if our army has this attack, it happens to be able to attack at night tonight, and it will definitely be able to defeat Chengdu, but if it is true, General Gao is not defeated by the enemy, after all, General Gao only has 3,000 men and horses, and the enemy army is several times that of me, if it is the lord." Yang Ren didn't say the back, but the meaning was obvious.

Cai Yang shook his head again and again: "It's even more impossible, how strong the camp is, General Yang is not unaware, and if there is danger, it is still okay for the lord to protect himself, General Yang has not seen the lord's martial arts, it is because the lord has not needed to use force in recent years, but if it is in this Shu, there are few people who can keep the lord, and there are still two commanders, the lord must be fine." The fighter plane was fleeting, the enemy was paralyzed, and I could not imagine that our army would come at night, and this was a great opportunity to capture Chengdu, and there would never be another one in the future. General Yang thinks that even if our army is connected to General Gao now, even if it successfully crosses the river, it is only 7,000 men and horses, not counting the casualties of this battle, how can 7,000 men and horses attack the defended Chengdu City, it is difficult, and it will take several months to stalemate with Chengdu in the future, if it is better to fight on this, a battle can be determined, please General Yang to help a certain person, the credit is shared equally between you and me, if there is an accident, it will be borne by someone. ”

"What kind of person is General Cai, how can Yang Jiwei be that kind of person, just go, and he will be famous for thousands of things." Yang Ren was furious, Cai Yang said this, it made it clear that Yang Ren was a person who only recognized merit and had no guts, how could Yang Ren not be angry. Cai Yang slapped Yang Ren's arm vigorously, and the defenseless Yang Ren almost fell off the horse again, Cai Yang laughed, his heart was as crazy as his face, Chengdu, someone is coming, Cai Yang shouted in his heart.

On the other side of the Tuojiang River, the guard general Sima was ready to lead his troops to rescue Yang Huai at this time, and at this time his subordinates said: "My lord, do you want to leave five hundred people here, after all, ......" Sima waved his hand, he originally intended to do so, and now he heard his subordinates also suggest, so Sima ordered: "Needless to say, leave five hundred here." Then he led 1,500 men and horses to rush upstream.

Yang Ren and Cai Yang, "General, it's not good, the enemy troops on the other side have not all withdrawn, and there are still five hundred left." The scout's return surprised Yang Ren and Cai Yang, but after thinking about it, only five hundred, Cai Yang: "How many cavalry are fast horses among the five hundred?" Scout: "General, there are nearly ten fast horses in the enemy army for the purpose of transmitting messages. I saw Cai Yang fold his horsewhip and said to Yang Ren: "General Yang don't worry, five hundred people can cross the river unscathed even if our 4,000 troops rush hard, but those ten fast horses are troublesome, if they go back to Chengdu, I am afraid that our plan to attack Chengdu will be invalid." ”

Yang Ren has already said that he is conspiring with Cai Yang in Chengdu, and at this time he also offered a plan and said: "General Cai is okay, if all the fast horses in you and my generals are concentrated, there are also forty or fifty cavalry, this cavalry is responsible for these ten fast horses, as long as one is not missed, even if the remaining enemy foot soldiers flee some, our army follows, and orders the cavalry to chase and kill along the road, Chengdu still will not get the news too early, and even one of them will not escape from Chengdu." ”

As soon as Cai Yang beat his hands, Mingwu laughed, and the two immediately ordered all the horses to be gathered, even the scouts were used together, and there was no need to spy on anything, now only speed is the truth. Cai Yang saw that the cavalry had been assembled, and said loudly: "Come out and ride, go to the upstream of the lord, explain the intention of our army, and attack Chengdu secretly." At this time, the army knew the purpose, everyone was in a lot of commotion, more excited, Chengdu was basically Liu Yan's heart, who didn't know the importance of it.

A fast horse galloped away, and the rest heard Cai Yang then shouting: "The purpose of your cavalry team is one, the scout fast horses of the enemy army on the other side of the river, none of them can let them run back to Chengdu, otherwise everything will come to naught." Cai Yang then turned his head and shouted to the other subordinates: "Attack Chengdu, Ben will accept Ruo, and reward ten taels of gold." ”

Wow, there was an instant sensation, ten taels of gold is a number that ordinary families can't imagine. Over there, Yang Ren heard Cai Yang's Chengruo, his face turned blue, ten taels, four thousand people is forty thousand taels, my mother, but when I think of Chengdu, Yang Ren is balanced.

"The army strikes and crushes the enemy on the opposite side." With a bang, as if coming out of the ground, an army of 4,000 suddenly rushed out on the edge of the Tuojiang River, eight times the number of defenders, and the unsuspecting defenders.
