NO.295 Outside Chang'an City, Yuan Zhiding
Outside Chang'an City, the yellow sand is long, the beacon smoke is everywhere, Zhong Xuan squinted his eyes, and looked at the dense Xiliang military horses on all sides at the head of the city, and his heart was worried.
Since the previous dispatch to the rescue of Xudu, Zhong Xuan did not send messengers out of the city, wanting to rush out of a bloody road in the Xiliang rebellion, Zhong Xuan also knew that it was a little unrealistic, the Xiliang army had attacked the city several times, and the city gate was damaged.
The Xiliang army and horses attacked all the field battles, but in the face of the old capital of the Han Dynasty, there was still no good way, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei was brave, but there was no way to the strength of the city, and he had made the car rush to the city for many days, but Zhong Xuan had blocked the city gates on all sides, and the soldiers abandoned the horses to clear the obstacles in front of the city, but they were mostly shot back by the arrows at the head of the city.
In the camp outside the city, Ma Teng and Han Sui two, both have a melancholy face, Xiliang military horses face Chang'an, its advantages can not be played, but the Qiang people who gave up the horses, its combat power is even more than ordinary foot soldiers, Chang'an can not be attacked for a long time, but the army of food and straw consumption, but let the two of them quite frightened, Xiliang cavalry one person and one horse, the horse food consumption is innumerable, fortunately, it is the beginning of spring, Xiliang military horses can be replaced to go to the pastures around Chang'an, to solve some grain and grass consumption, but if it goes on for so long, I am afraid that Chang'an is not down, in the camp, there will be no food.
Now that some Qiang people have begun to kill horses and eat meat, if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has no horses, how can they talk about conquering the city, compared to Zhong Xuan in the city, Ma Teng Han Sui also felt that this battle was difficult.
A group of Xiliang generals were in the tent, all of them were indignant, the Qiang generals said that the Han people were despicable, and the Han generals in the camp also argued with the Qiang generals, noisy and shouting, and made a mess.
Ma Teng was upset, and after Zhang Fei and Ma Chao entered the account, he asked about the battle situation, Ma Chao's heart was on fire, and he couldn't help scolding: "This Zhong Xuan turned Chang'an into a turtle shell, and no one in his camp dared to go out of the city to fight, such a cowardly person disdains to fight with him." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "It's not disdainful, but can't ...... Compared with their bravery, the resourcefulness of such scribes is quite tricky, and I wonder if the two generals can make the horses of the city leave the city? ”
Ma Teng, Han Sui looked at each other, silent for a long time, when it comes to wisdom, Zhong Xuan is also a well-known person, the Xiliang army advocates bravery, and does not pay attention to scholars, so the army is mostly determined by Han Sui, and the generals of the various armies have no military divisions with the army to plan for them.
Han Sui frowned and pondered, and after a long time, he shook his head slightly, and said: "That Zhong Xuan has already seen through Han's long-term plan, before our army was about to fight, its city was already prepared, and now it can only wait for the food in the city to run out and surrender the city." ”
Han Sui said, the generals and soldiers in the army did not say anything, and the surrender of the city was in the ears of everyone, just a joke, Xiliang Iron Cavalry broke the world, when did he fight a war of attrition with others? And the cavalry consumes the best food in the world, if according to Han Sui's method, there is no need to wait for Zhong Xuan to open the city and surrender, in the Xiliang army, I am afraid that half of the soldiers will slaughter the horses and become an infantry army......
Seeing that Han Sui had nothing to do, Ma Chao arched his hand to Ma Teng and said, "Father, my son wants to lead another soldier to clear the obstacles at the city gate!" ”
Before Ma Teng could answer, Zhang Fei sneered and said to Ma Chao: "Even if Meng Qi goes, he will return in vain, and now that General Han has nothing to do, it is better to listen to my military advisor and what his plan is." ”
When Han Sui heard this, he nodded slightly, but Ma Teng said happily: "The Yuan Zhijun Division has a plan?" ”
"My military division has no last resort, and he once defeated Cao Ren with a small number of military horses in Runan, if the two generals have no choice, it is better to invite my military division to come and plan!"
Ma Teng was not angry because of Zhang Fei's rebellion, and hurriedly invited someone to lead Liu Bei, Xu Shu and the two of them entered the account, after Liu Bei entered the camp, he met with the generals, and the salute was very respectful, Xu Shu followed Liu Bei's side, and also greeted the people of Xiliang.
"Xuande is the emperor's uncle, Teng Ben didn't want to disturb Xuande's mind about Xiliang, but now Teng has nothing to do, please ask Xuande to help!" Ma Teng said, Liu Bei nodded with a pleasant face, with a smile on his face, and said to Ma Teng: "The affairs of the general's army, since the preparation and Yuan Zhi have been worried for several days, and now Yuan Zhi has been thinking about it for many days, and he should have a way to break the bell, which is all the way to break the general." ”
"Xuande has something to say!" When Ma Chao heard that he had a strategy to break the enemy, he was overjoyed and shouted to Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei was unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't put his beak with Ma Chao, Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu, nodded slightly, and saw Xu Shu slowly walking to the center of the camp, arching his hands on all sides, and said to Ma Teng: "According to Xu's view, Chang'an Jiancheng, blocking my Xiliang army, if you want to break it, it is not difficult, Shu has three strategies in his heart, please play the general, what plan the general wants to do, you can decide yourself." ”
When everyone in the tent heard this, they were all shocked, more than a dozen generals and colonels have been attacking the city for several days, and there is nothing to do, and this Xu Shu did not watch the siege tactics in front of the camp, and he has already made up his mind.
When Ma Chao heard this, he was slightly annoyed in his heart, thinking that Xu Shu was speaking wildly, mocking the people of Xiliang, and glared at Xu Shu angrily: "Yuan Zhi should know, there is no joke in the army!" ”
"How dare you play tricks on the generals?"
Xu Shu said, said with a smile: "The generals have been unable to attack for a long time in recent days, but the timing of your choice is wrong, all the generals are attacking the city during the day and resting at night, that Zhong Xuan has already seen through the work and rest of our army, if you go to clear the obstacles in front of the city at night, the battle damage will definitely be much less." ”
The generals suddenly realized, such a simple thing, for a few days so that the army and horses outside the city could not enter, Xu Shu said a word, everyone figured it out, Ma Teng was happy, and said to Xu Shu: "What Mr. said is extremely true!" ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "This is the next policy, Shu just said it, if you want to break Chang'an, our army will do this, and it will also cause great damage, and in the future, it will occupy Chang'an, and we must prevent the counterattack of the Cao army. ”
"Just a policy?" When Han Sui heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Xu Shu: "What else does Mr. have to do, if you break through Chang'an according to Mr.'s plan, the first merit of this battle will go to Mr.!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "The middle strategy is to act as usual, at night outside the city to order soldiers, dig more tunnels, and wait for all the soldiers to enter the city, set fire everywhere, mess with Zhong Xuan's mind, our army will take one door and seize it, as long as the city gate is occupied, the Xiliang army and horses can enter the city safely, and they can attack everything!" ”
Ma Teng, Han Sui heard this, and his eyes lit up, and Ma Teng was about to act according to the plan, but when he heard Han Sui, he coughed lightly and said, "Please tell me the best policy!" ”
"Make a brigade of soldiers, deceitful as Cao Jun's soldiers and horses, looking for someone who looks similar to that Cao Ren, makeup Cao Ren to bring reinforcements to save the siege of Chang'an, that Cao Ren Xu and the emperor's uncle have already seen, if you want to pretend, but it is not difficult, if there is blood on its face, it is difficult for Zhong Xuan to peep through, when the reinforcements come, I besiege the army and horses at the east gate of Chang'an to retreat, if this army and horses can enter the city, Chang'an can be obtained in an instant!"
