Chapter 241: Winning a Thousand Miles Away

It turned out that in Fang Shao's secret letter to Sun Quan, Fang Shao euphemistically reminded Sun Quan that with Cao Ying's ability to use people, it must make sense to keep Zhang Liao as the main general to guard Hefei, Zhang Liao is known for his cavalry, and his style is very brave, and it is very likely that when Sun Quan's former army has just arrived and the village is not stable, he will launch a surprise attack with cavalry to hit the morale of the Wu army, so Fang Shao advised Sun Quan not to take it lightly.

One hundred thousand against seven thousand, Sun Quan's confidence is justified enough, if it was before, Sun Quan would definitely laugh at such a letter of advice, but now, he has to pay attention to it.

Because, the person who wrote this letter to him was extraordinary, it was this person who made his attempt to seize Jingzhou go to waste, and it was this person, as Lu Su said, who hid behind Liu Bei like a shadow, and repeatedly swayed the situation.

It can be said that the current Sun Quan is deeply jealous of his sister-in-law, so the letter written to him by Fang Shao immediately aroused his high vigilance.

"Go, go and invite General Lu Ziming quickly."

Sun Quan thought of LΓΌ Meng, although he vetoed LΓΌ Meng's proposal to attack Jingzhou, but now LΓΌ Meng is still his most important general of wisdom and bravery, and Sun Quan discussed with him more about the use of troops.

After a short time, LΓΌ Meng arrived, and asked Sun Quan what his instructions were, and Sun Quan did not show Fang Shao's letter first, but asked: "Ziming, Zhang Liao, I don't know how much you know?" ”

Zhang Liao this person, known for his bravery, when he followed Xiahou Yuan to surround the East China Sea, Zhang Liao only felt that Chang Feng had the intention of surrendering, so he went up the mountain alone to surrender, and afterwards Cao Ying also reprimanded Zhang Liao for this. After that, Cao Ying's expedition to Wuhuan, the two armies suddenly met on the edge of the desert, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to take the lead, and personally beheaded the single in front of the horse. Some of his subsequent exploits are mostly related to his brave wind, and Meng actually thinks that Cao Ying's famous generals, this Liao can be the leader. ”

Lu Meng's words made Sun Quan have a clear understanding of Zhang Liao, and he couldn't help but secretly blame himself in his heart: "The Art of War Yun knows that the other side is invincible, and now if it weren't for Fang Zhongzheng's reminder, I don't know much about that Zhang Liao, wouldn't it be a taboo to come so lightly to the enemy, ashamed, really ashamed......"

Seeing that Sun Quan's face seemed to be frightened, Lu Meng asked, "Lord, why did you suddenly remember to ask me about Zhang Liao?" ”

"Let's take a look at this letter first." Only then did Sun Quan hand Fang Shao's letter to Lu Meng.

When Lu Meng saw it, his expression also changed, and he said in surprise: "This sister-in-law of the lord is really an unusual thing, he is still fighting hotly, but he can still think about us thousands of miles away." Well, in Meng's opinion, his reminder is very reasonable, lord, we must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, and we must not guard against this Zhang Liao. ”

Sun Quan put down the letter and looked at Lu Meng with a solemn expression, "Then according to Ziming's opinion, is that Zhang Liao really as Zhongzheng speculated, and will launch a surprise attack when our front army has just arrived and has not yet gained a firm foothold?" ”

Lu Meng stood up, paced back and forth in the tent for a while, and suddenly sneered, "Lord, since this is the case, then why don't we plan it......"

…… In the city of Hefei, the three generals were looking down at the Wu people's camp in Xiaoyaojin opposite, and after a while, Zhang Liaoyao pointed to the enemy camp and said coldly: "Did the two see it, the Wu people relied on the strength of the people, even the trenches had to be dug, and the antlers were not placed, and the camp had not yet been established to eat and sleep, which was simply a demonstration of our ** naked." ”

Li Dian on the left sighed: "The Wu people came with 100,000 people, and we only had 7,000 people. ”

Na Lejin shook his head and said: "I heard that Duke Wei and Liu Bei were in a stalemate in Hanzhong, and now that Xiangyang has been broken, Guan Yu is huge, and General Zixiao's son is not having a good time, even if Duke Wei returns from Guanlongdong, I am afraid that he will not be able to care about us for a while." ”

Li Dian looked calm, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Hefei City is stronger than Xiangyang, the Wu people are very incompetent in foot combat, and there is water and food in the city, so it shouldn't be a problem if you stick to it." ”

Le Jin looked depressed, gritted his teeth and said: "That is, there are only a few soldiers, if you add another 20,000 people to me, I will definitely want Sun Quan to come and go." ”

Li Dian patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Wen Qian, don't think so much about uselessness, let's guard our city well." ”

At this time, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "No, we can't sit still like this, now the situation in Hanzhong is not in my favor, and Xiangfan is also in defeat, it can be said that the whole country, from east to south, is demoralized and people's hearts are fluctuating." If we wait for the Wu people's 100,000 troops to gather and besiege Hefei, the entire country's defense line will fall into an unfavorable situation everywhere. ”

The two of them moved slightly, and Le Jin said: "In Wenyuan's opinion, what else can we do besides holding on to the city." ”

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, "I look at the Wu army outside the city, at most there are only 20,000 people, it is the vanguard army, and its camp is quite rough, most likely that Sun Quan came with a heart of contempt for us. If we take advantage of the fact that his camp is not stable, use cavalry to surprise him, and kill him by surprise, one can destroy the arrogance of the Wu people, and the other can also boost our morale. Only in this way can we reverse the unfavorable situation of being passively beaten. I think the secret plan that Duke Wei left us before he left before he left also has this intention. ”

Although Zhang Liao's strategy seems to be very reasonable, the risks taken are extremely great.

Le Jin then said: "Wen Yuan, I also understand your thoughts, but after all, the enemy is overwhelming, if we do our best to make a surprise attack, in case there is a mistake, there will be no soldiers to defend Hefei, if there are too few soldiers and horses, even if the surprise attack is afraid, it will not play a role." ”

Li Dian also said: "Wen Qian's words are reasonable, Wen Yuan, it's better to be safe." ”

At this time, Zhang Liao said proudly: "If the two of you don't have the courage to defend the city, then I Zhang Liao will lead 800 elite cavalry under my command to raid, whether it is life or death, it will be borne by me Zhang Liao alone." ”

Zhang Liao's bravery is known to both of them, and the truth of Zhang Liao's analysis, with the talent of the two of them, is not unclear, and now, seeing Zhang Liao so persistent, the two of them have no way to refuse.

So, that night, Zhang Liao personally ordered 800 elites, gave them good wine and meat, and announced to them the battle order to raid the Wu camp.

These 800 people know that they have now become a death squad, and with 800 people to attack the Wu camp of tens of thousands of people, the probability of not coming back is very high, but none of these 800 people are afraid.

Eight hundred cavalry, that is since the time of Lu Bu has followed Zhang Liao, for many years, across the north and south, invincible, 800 people and Zhang Liao are one heart, life and death, advance and retreat together.

Therefore, when Zhang Liao announced the order in a flat tone, everyone had no objections, and after eating the wine and meat cleanly, they fell asleep.

Before dawn, Zhang Liao woke up his death squad, and after a full meal, 800 people were titled, horses were wrapped in hooves, and under the leadership of Zhang Liao, they quietly looked at the Wu camp and left.

is only a few miles away, but Zhang Liao seems to have walked through thousands of mountains and rivers.

He didn't have to fight this risky battle, but he still chose to risk his life in exchange for this great glory.

800 battles and 100,000 battles, if this battle is successful, I, Zhang Wenyuan, will be a generation of famous generals who will go down in history. From now on, my position under the command of the Duke of Wei will be unshakable, and my children and grandchildren will also enjoy glory and wealth forever because of the danger of my life and death today, and they will be proud of their father for generations.

I am not a Cao clan, I am not a strong party, I am just an ordinary soldier, I rely on my own hands, my own bravery, step by step from the lowest level to the current position.

My talent is no worse than Cao Ren or Xiahou Yuan, but with their glorious surnames, they can defend one side, while I, who have made countless meritorious contributions, can still only share power with Na Li and Le and guard this corner of the city.

I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling. Today, I will use the victory of this battle as the green cloud that I fly, and from tomorrow, Zhang Liao's name will be the world's greatest!

In the midst of the surging heart, Wu Ying was close at hand.

There were no antlers, no trenches, and only a handful of panicked Wu foot soldiers blocked the eight hundred iron horsemen.

Zhang Liao let out a low roar, rode his horse first, rode over, and easily overturned the Wu soldiers guarding the door, and the eight hundred cavalry were like a whirlwind, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, without alarming most of the Wu troops, and easily rushed into Wu Zhai.

At this moment, most of the Wu army was still asleep, and when the sound of warning woke them up, Zhang Liao's 800 iron cavalry had already rushed through the outlying camp and went straight to Sun Quan's big tent on the earthen bag.

The Wu army, who woke up, had not yet had time to put on his armor, and under the dual effects of embarrassment and fear, he did not dare to block the powerful impact of the cavalry. Eight hundred elite horsemen, all the way to the ground, easily cut down a few Wu troops who were not afraid of death, and screamed in a loud voice, killing the dirt bag.

Although at this time, Sun Quan's personal soldiers who heard the news rushed to protect the Chinese army, but it was too late, not as good as the infantry in the array, not at all the cavalry opponent with momentum, after paying the sacrifice of dozens of horses, Zhang Liao easily broke through the encirclement of more than 100 halberd soldiers, rushed up the mountain bag first, and cut the horse straight into Sun Quan's account.

The relaxation of the Wu people's garrison was beyond Zhang Liao's prediction, he didn't expect that he could enter Sun Quan's account so easily, at this moment, what he thought in his heart was far more than just a victory in a battle, but to capture and kill Sun Quan, the king of Jiangdong, in this way, Jiangdong will not fight and make its own decision, Zhang Liao's great name will therefore stand side by side with Bai Qi, Wei Qing and other famous generals through the ages.

However, the tent was empty.

Zhang Liao thought that Sun Quan might have taken advantage of the chaos to escape, which made him a little disappointed, and he glanced over, only to find that the beds were neatly folded, as if no one had slept at all.

A hint of uneasiness flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes.

So, he hurriedly drove his horse out of the tent, raised his eyes to look under the dirt bag, and could not help but gasp.
