Chapter 47: Deception
Li Gang didn't understand until he died why the people around Yang Fu would shoot him, and what was going on with the horn sound that didn't sound very far around, and what the lieutenant general's sentence meant. All of these don't need Li Gang to go to his heart, because at this time, Li Gang was still trembling with an arrow feather on the door, and the iron arrow was straight to the flesh and bones, only the arrow shaft made of birch and the ringing feather of the arrow tail told people that Li Gang was dead.
At this time, there was no ambush plan, no one thought that this was an ambush by Tianshui soldiers and horses on Ji County, as long as they had a little intelligence, they all knew the sound of the horns around and the sound of killing that was getting closer and closer, and Yang Fu did not hesitate to shoot Li Gang, what all this meant. Seeing Li Gang falling, Adjutant General Li Gang was full of heart and gall, and shouted: "Withdraw the troops." He ordered several soldiers to lift Li Gang's body and want to escape. However, is it too late, the horn has sounded, the war horses have begun to gallop, it is easy for more than 3,000 days when the sailors and horses come, and if you want to go, it is not so simple.
Looking at Yang Fu, who was getting closer and closer, his face was full of sneers, the deputy general knew that he had been tricked, Li Gang had been deceived, and the three thousand people in Tianshui would definitely be more auspicious today. When Li Gang was ambushing here, he listened to Yang Fu's suggestion, saying that it was to reduce the possibility of the enemy army finding themselves ambushing the army, and suggested that Li Gang should not send scouts out. Only then did the deputy general know why, it was to facilitate the soldiers and horses of Jixian County to surround him secretly, but the poor three thousand soldiers and horses were still waiting for the ambush of others in a daze.
As soon as Li Gang died, the dragons were leaderless, and no one could command anyone, and the three thousand heavenly sailors and horses were suddenly in chaos, only the commanders of the small schools and regiments were desperately restraining their own men and horses, and three or two hundred gathered together, but they did not form a military formation. At this time, there was no need for any words, and there was not a single one of the three thousand people who did not think so. Where to flee, to Tianshui, everyone thinks so. Chen Lin can't think of it, Fa Zheng can't think of it? Three thousand wolf riders dealt with the five hundred left in Ji County, what about the others? Half an hour later, the person who was lucky enough to run out of the dense forest and was about to flee to Tianshui knew the answer.
Yang Fu saw Li Gang fall from an arrow not far away, and looked back in surprise at this guard commander named Huang Yan dressed as an ordinary soldier, this was an arrow shot in a fast run. Yang Fu turned to great joy and shouted: "Li Gang is dead, the enemy army is surrounded, kill." At the same time, Huang Yan behind him also glanced at the young general in front of him, and he didn't expect this person Wen Taowei to be such a proud and resolute person. Huang Yan couldn't help but think of a few days ago, when Jiang Xu surrendered to worship the Lord, and when he talked about plotting against the Tianshui garrison, Jiang Xu recommended two people to Chen Lin, one of whom was this Yang Fu.
Yang Fu was just a small master of Ji County, after seeing Chen Lin, he had a conversation, but Fa Zheng and others were surprised, and Chen Lin directly handed over such an important matter to Yang Fu to do, which shows trust and liking. It wasn't until Huang Yan shot Li Gang, the Tianshui leader identified by Yang Fu, that Huang Yan knew that this seemingly ridiculous plan had succeeded.
After shooting Li Gang, Huang Yan's character was to protect Yang Fu, and Chen Lin repeatedly ordered not to let Yang Fu have an accident, Yang Fu was a scribe. But Yang Fu, who rushed forward violently with his sword in front of him, made Huang Yan not believe it, and with infinite admiration in his heart, he hurriedly threw the big bow on his back, drew out the big sword and roared angrily, and rushed forward, protecting Yang Fu's left and right.
It's chaotic, the three thousand days of sailors and horses are like headless flies, walking around, shouting that there are enemy troops here, they go that way, there is a shout there, and they immediately turn around and run this way. There are 7,000 troops, and Chen Lin will put them in the encirclement together with Zhang Wei's army who has just caught up, 7,000 people, not counting wolves, cruising outside the dense forest. Seven thousand men killed three thousand soldiers and horses who had lost their generals in a panic, and there was almost no suspense. The sound of killing spread all over the four fields, and more people screamed for help. The severed limbs, the blood from the wounds seeping into the dirt, the disgusting liquid with the smell of rust became the most wonderful nourishment of the woods. The seriously wounded fell to the ground, leaning against the trunk of a tree, wailing for mercy, wailing for help me. Surrounded by swords and swords, he didn't have any thoughts, only kept waving the things in his hands, knocking down everything that could still move in front of him, so that he could live. The sword broke, the knife broke, and with a roar he opened his arms and rushed over, slamming into each other fiercely, holding the other's head and opening his mouth to bite his neck. hissed, tore up a piece of flesh, and suddenly blood spurted out, he won, because he was fast, so he lived, and the other party died, not died immediately, the blood gushing out of his neck would drain the last drop of blood on his body, and then he died, only around him covered his neck and screamed heartbreakingly, but who heard it, or rather, who would pay attention to him.
Chen Lin appeared in the southeast of Ji County, which was also the southeast of Li Gang's ambush site, looking at his own army advancing in the distance, Chen Lin knew that this battle was over, as long as he succeeded in deceiving Li Gang out of Tianshui City, Li Gang would already take the initiative to die. At this time, Chen Lin said: "Xiaozhi, how is Yishan?" ”
Fa Zheng smiled: "Does the lord want to reuse this person?" Chen Lin nodded and said: "This expedition to Longxi went smoothly and unexpectedly, and the attitude of the people in Longxi counties towards our army in the past few days has made a lot of thoughts. The people of Xiliang, they have been suffering for too long, and they have reached a time when they urgently need a stable situation, whether it is Boya, Yishan, or everyone else, why do these people serve our army so quickly and make many military exploits? Xiliang needs to be settled. ”
Fa Zheng was taken aback: "Does the lord want to fight a decisive battle with Li Zhiran, and decide Xiliang in a battle?" Fa Zheng couldn't help but hear the plan in Chen Lin's tone.
Chen Lin: "I know what Xiaozhi is worried about, yes, Chang'an is strong, our army is small, and it is the best policy to deal with Chang'an for a long time." But as I said just now, the people of Xiliang can't afford to wait, besides, the longer it drags on, the more it hurts, it's all my Han's shin, decades ago, the countries in the Western Regions still respected my Han, and now? Filial piety, my Han can't afford to hurt ah, a certain must quickly pacify Xiliang, but also rebuild the Western Regions Mansion, anyone who dares to provoke, must see my Han heroic, Li Zhiran and other scum, can not stay. ”
Fa Zheng didn't have the words to refute, it wasn't that he was short of words, but that Fa Zheng's heart had been stirred up at this time, and he couldn't wait to realize what Chen Lin said immediately.
An hour passed, two hours passed, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, and Zhang Wei came over to report one after another, and Yang Fu also came out with Huang Yan and went straight to Chen Lin. Of the 3,000 enemy troops, less than 1,000 were able to escape, either surrendering or being killed, and those who escaped temporarily now were afraid that they would have to face the pursuit of 2,000 wolf riders. Yang Fu hurriedly rushed over, seeing that young people were always so easily excited, Yang Fu shouted loudly: "Lord, win." "Even if he was the one who deceived Li Gang, he couldn't help but be frivolous.
Chen Lin laughed, at this time, Yang Fu was shocked when he saw the eyes of the people waiting for him, and retracted his expression shyly, realizing that he had gone too far, which made Chen Lin and the others laugh even more. Yang Fu blushed, and after a while, Chen Lin said: "Yishan, this battle depends on your merits, good, good." ”
Yang Fu: "Don't dare, my lord, this battle is all thanks to the hard work of the generals, especially Commander Huang, who shot Li Gang with one arrow, and the enemy army has no leader, plus the generals bravely killed the enemy, so there is this great victory." ”
Chen Lin was very satisfied with Yang Fu's performance, and he was not arrogant, okay, at this time Yang Fu said again: "Lord, Fu thought that he should take the opportunity to take Tianshui at this time." ”
Chen Lin sighed: "Take Tianshui?" Tianshui is not as good as Ji County, in the future, to defend Li Zhiran's counterattack, Ji County is much better than Tianshui, why attack Tianshui? ”
When Yang Fu heard this, he said: "Lord, you don't have to stick to Tianshui if you take Tianshui, there are most of Li Gang's army in Tianshui City, if our army takes Tianshui, and then move thousands of people in Tianshui to Longxi, when Li Zhiran's army arrives, it is not a lot of material grain and grass, and at the same time, there are no people, and the enemy army has to transport grain and grass from Chencang, which is not an effective means to weaken the enemy army." ”
When Chen Lin heard this, he laughed with Fa Zheng, this Yang Fu, thinking the same as Fa Zheng and others, Chen Lin solemnly ordered: "Order the wolf rider to continue to kill the deserters, prevent them from escaping back to Tianshui to report the news, and order Zhang Wei's department to garrison Ji County, there must be no mistake, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, and Jiang Xu immediately sent Tianshui, and Tianshui must be taken before dark tomorrow." ”
Yang Fu looked at it and said hurriedly: "Lord, Tianshui should still let Fu deceive and open the city gate, presumably Li Qi is not suspicious now, wouldn't this be twice the result with half the effort." ”
Chen Lin laughed: "If Li Qizai is deceived by you, then the Li family's father and son will all be planted in your hands." Then Yang Fu couldn't help but laugh along.
Immediately, Chen Lin ordered Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to select local troops, synthesize about 400 people, as the vanguard of the attack on Tianshui, and go straight to Tianshui, thousands of troops behind him followed, and three thousand wolf riders were like flies on carrion, running back and forth around this distance, but there were outcropping enemy troops, and they were immediately killed. Two days after Li Gang's death, Tianshui City did not receive any news.
On this day, Li Qi got up early and shouted together: "Is there any information coming back from Ji County?" "Resolute Ji County is already the appearance of a self-army thing. Answering no, Li Qi couldn't help but be surprised, the four or five waves of scouts sent out didn't come back, and his father didn't send anyone back, which was strange.
At this moment, the scout rushed to report: "General, Yang Zhubo is back, and he is outside the city, saying that the old general sent him back to escort grain and grass to Ji County." ”
Li Qi was taken aback: "Master Yang is thin? Which Yang is thin? Oh, Yang Yishan, but, transporting grain and grass? Ji County knocked down? Then Li Qi jumped up happily and ran out.
"Lord Yang is thin, but Ji County has beaten down?" According to the order, the city gate was not allowed to be opened without Li Qi's order, and Yang Fu was still outside the city at this time. Yang Fu stood under the city and shouted: "Exactly, General Li didn't let someone into the city, but what did he mean?" ”
Li Qi slapped his head, without the slightest suspicion, and immediately yelled: "Open the door and let Master Yang come in." ”
Outside the city, Yang Fu grinned, Tianshui, I'm back.
