Chapter 16 Zhuge Liang's Zhang Liang
Originally, I just wanted to take Gangneung and hit you hard. I didn't expect you to divide the troops, if 60,000 soldiers and horses advance and retreat together, I still have some scruples, at the moment you only lead more than 10,000 people, most of them are foot soldiers, and we are all light...
So far, nothing will be said to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Zhuge Liang, this time you are smart but you are mistaken by being smart!
Thinking about this, Jiang Zhe took a slight breath. Raised his hand and shouted, "Hurry up, Wenyuan." Haven't you found Liu Beijun's whereabouts? ”
"Qiqi Situ" Zhang Liao, who was not far in front, reined in his horse's head, slowed down and paralleled Jiang Zhe and the others, hugged his fists and said, "No one has come to return to life, obviously Liu Beijun's whereabouts have not been discovered!" After that, he looked at the surrounding situation in the fog with some embarrassment, and asked hesitantly, "Situ, did Liu Bei really flee in this direction?" ”
"There can be no mistake!" Jiang Zhe's categorical words made Zhang Liao's face stunned, and Zhao Yun beside Jiang Zhe saw this situation and said in a low voice, "Situ is the enemy." There is no mistake in the categorical way, it seems that the only way to call the tiger and leopard riders to pay attention to it is "But this fog is really troublesome!" ”
"It's sorcery, isn't it? As soon as our army went to Jingzhou. The time is always beneficial to Liu Beijun" Xu Huang, who was not far behind Jiang Zhe, whispered to Cao Hong, Cao Hong smiled and shrugged: Who knows!
"Stomp, stomp!" With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, 10,000 Cao army light horses roared through the fog.
Originally, it was taboo for soldiers to march in a hurry in the fog, but in order to punish Liu Bei, Jiang Zhe couldn't take care of it so much, but it was okay. Jiang Zhe sent tiger and leopard horsemen to act as scouts and scouts.
With the strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry, acting as a pathfinder scout is obviously a bit condescending, but well, in this situation where both the enemy and the enemy are in the dark, only the tiger and leopard cavalry with strong individual combat ability can take on this important task, after all, if it is not good. If the enemy plots against it, I am afraid that most of the 13,000 light cavalry will be lost, which Jiang Zhe does not want to see.
"The tiger and leopard ride to come back to life!" Hustle, at this time. With a soft drink, he rode faintly from a distance.
"Slow down, stop!" Zhao Yun raised his hand and exhaled. After a few breaths, the 10,000 horsemen slowly slowed down their march, and then stopped in the middle of the road, each on guard.
In the timid eyes of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals. That ride approached quietly, yes, the whole body was black, it was indeed a tiger and leopard...
"The tiger and leopard ride under the command of Meng Bochang, and Chen Yang is here to restore his life!" The rider reined in his horse when he approached Jiang Zhe's cavalry army, and clenched his fists with both hands.
"Hmm!" As Jiang Zhe nodded, the tiger and leopard rode forward, turned over and dismounted in front of Jiang Zhe, "Qi Qi Situ, traces of soldiers and horses were found six or seven miles ahead, Meng Bo said, I'm afraid there are as many as one or two thousand!" ”
"Well done, explore again!"
"No!" The tiger and leopard rode Chen Yang sonorously to the order. Got on his horse and galloped away.
Getou looked at the starry sky, Jiang Zhe muttered a word, suddenly his face turned straight, his horse whip was raised, and he shouted in a deep voice, "All the soldiers listen to the order, six or seven miles ahead!" "Drink!" The generals of the Cao army should shout. Jiang Zhe, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were in front, Xu Huang, Cao Hong, Zhang Jaw and others were behind, and 10,000 light horsemen set off again.
For the cavalry, six or seven miles is just a blink of an eye, just a cup of tea, Jiang Zhe and the others have already walked to the place where the tiger and leopard rider Chen Yang said, and the dozens of tiger and leopard riders who stayed here to meet Jiang Zhe saw that Jiang Zhe had arrived, and immediately got on their horses and moved forward again.
"Is this the place?" Jiang Zhe frowned and looked around, raised his hand and ordered, "The whole army listens to the order." Rest on the spot for a while, and then catch up! ”
"No!"
"The fog is still so thick" Several Cao army generals, Cao Hong took off the helmet on his head, stretched out his hand and wiped the water, the fog melted and the dew stuck to his eyebrows and beard, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Yes," he said, taking out the water bladder from the skin on the side of the horse, unscrewing the stopper and taking a sip. Looking left and right, he frowned and said, "It's not so easy to find Liu Bei's whereabouts in such a fog" How could Situ order to rest in this place, in the fog, I don't know the enemy and me, and I don't know the enemy and me, resting here is not in line with the art of war! ”
"You kid!" It seems to be familiar with open jaws. Cao Hong scolded with a smile and said, "What you think in your heart." How could Situ not know? In terms of the way of using soldiers, how can you compare to Situ? ”
"That's that!" Zhang Jaw smiled ashamedly, and suddenly heard Xu Huang beside him whisper, "Maybe Situ saw that our army was approaching Liu Bei." That's why he ordered to rest, lest the soldiers be overwhelmed in battle! ”
"What General Xu said is extremely true!" Jaw Chang nodded. Glancing at Jiang Zhe, who was looking up at the sky not far away, he echoed in a low voice, "Perhaps, Situ understands that if he walks through here, after approaching Liu Beijun, he will not be able to make the soldiers rest again,"
"In a word!" Zhang Liao chuckled, subconsciously glanced at the ground, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he squatted down and touched the ground.
"This is" seemed to notice Zhang Liao's movements, and Xu Huang also lowered his body, from something white.
"Dough crumbs?" The generals glanced at each other, and for some reason, Cao Hong frowned and took a few steps around. Looking at the ground nearby, he could still find a lot, and said mockingly, "Liu Beijun is so interested that he dares to rest here!" ”
Looking at the little crumbs, Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Most of the soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command are foot soldiers, so naturally they are not as good as us, and they rest on the spot due to fatigue with the help of horsepower, and they are also cleaning up." However, "Didn't Liu Bei find out that our army was pursuing?" ”
"Come to think of it, he must have thought that he had escaped the pursuit of our army, otherwise, he would not dare to be so lax!" Clapping his hands, Xu Huang got up. Looking around left and right, he said, "Then, let's tell Situ about this first..."
"No, I know about it!" With a faint smile, Jiang Zhe and Zhao Yun slowly
come
"Situ knows about this?" The generals looked at each other, but saw Jiang Zhe nodding and said in a deep voice, "It's not that there is this thing left in the place where you are standing, I just noticed it, and besides, don't you think the fog has dispersed a little?" ”
"Huh?" Listening to Jiang Zhe's suggestive voice. The generals looked around, and sure enough, they saw that the fog had dispersed a little, and they could obviously see farther than they could see five or six feet now.
"Is there a connection between the two?" The jaw opened and felt inexplicable.
Secretly glancing at Jiang Zhe's expression, Xu Huang frowned and thought deeply, "It stands to reason that Liu Bei is defeated and escaped; I will not leave the light cavalry after the break, in order to find out whether our army is pursuing, our army is in a hurry all the way, and the sound of horses' hooves can be heard everywhere on the road.
"Gongming is too worried" Cao Hong stroked his hair and said casually, "It's the southeast wind blowing tonight, Liu Bei and others are in the upper wind, and I am waiting in the downwind, if it wasn't very close, how could Liu Bei hear the sound of horses' hooves when our army was marching?" ”
"That's a great word! I can't think of it" Zhang Jaw stroked his palm and praised, and looked at Cao Hong with some unknowingness, thinking in his heart, Cao Hong seemed to be more brave and less resourceful than his brother Cao Renlai, for example, his brother Cao Chun, I didn't expect to have such knowledge.
"You guy!" Cao Hong glared at his jaw viciously, causing everyone around him to laugh. Fold has a point," Jiang Zhe also nodded approvingly, and then said, "I still dare to conclude, Liu Bei, no, it is Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming, who must have discovered that our army is pursuing!" ”
"What?"
"This" generals looked at each other, all puzzled.
"Situ's Zhuge Kongming" glanced at Jiang Zhe, and Zhao Yun hesitated and said, "Could it be that Liu Bei's military advisor?" Situ had been to Longzhong when he was in Jingzhou earlier, was this person? ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe nodded, put his hands behind his back, frowned and sighed, "This person has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and he must not be underestimated. It's this man's masterpiece! ”
"What?"
"Is that so?" The generals were shocked. His face was moved, Cao Hong frowned and whispered, "Sure enough, it's witchcraft!" The clan brother said earlier. Under Liu Bei's account, there may be people who are proficient in witchcraft. I don't want to take it seriously,"
Zhang Jaw was secretly surprised in his heart, and said in surprise, "How did Situ know about this?" ”
"Heh" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, and said lightly, "This person is in charge." I can count something that ordinary people can't count."
"No wonder Situ Fang said that Liu Beijun must be coming here," Zhang Liao was moved.
"Of course, not everything can be calculated," Jiang Zhe shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "I only learned that Liu Bei would go in this direction." It is impossible to calculate how many hours have been and how far we have traveled
"Oh!" The generals suddenly realized. Only Zhao Yun sighed secretly.
That's it, Situ, the rest. Leave it to us, don't be in "Alas!
"Situ" hesitated, Xu Huang clenched his fists and said, "There will be something unknown in the end"
"Say!"
"Since Liu Bei's military division Zhuge Liang knew that our army was chasing him, why did he order a rest here? It stands to reason that we should hurry up, right? ”
"Makes sense!" Zhang Jaw heard what Xu Huang said. echoed and said, "Situ, if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and the last general is afraid that there will be deception!" ”
"Fraud?" Jiang Zhe muttered, in fact, he didn't know anything about this matter in his heart. "Could it be this man's ploy to lure the enemy?" Zhang Liao hesitated and said.
"Lure the enemy?" Jiang Zhe frowned, before he could speak. Cao Hong, who was beside him, said, "Wen Yuan is saying that Zhuge Liang deliberately laid an illusion. It made us think that Liu Beijun was close at hand, so we hurried. Is he in ambush on the way? ”
Cao Hong's words made the hearts of the generals feel cold. Xu Huang thought about it, clasped his fists and said, "Situ, if this is the case, we have to guard against it, Liu Bei has one or twenty thousand soldiers accompanying him, and he does not have the strength to fight, and if it is an ambush, even if I am a light horse, I am afraid that I will not be able to retreat with my whole body!" ”
"Ambush?" Jiang Zhe pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Where am I now?" ”
The generals were stunned when they heard this, and their faces were a little embarrassed.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jiang Zhe turned around and glanced at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun understood, and took the map of the army from the side of the war horse, which was the map of Jingzhou that Fang Liang and Jia Yue had given to Jiang Zhe earlier, but it was not very detailed, only a few key places were marked.
Obviously, you can take advantage of the moonlight to get away. But now to look at the map, the moonlight is not so convenient, just listen to the "snort", Xu Huang lit the tongue of fire, lit a bunch of torches, Jiang Zhe spread the map evenly, and the generals gathered in a circle.
Looking at the generals beside him, Jiang Zhe pointed to the map and said, "Here." It's Gangneung," and then we waited all the way to the southeast to catch up. Calculate the distance, it's almost here. In my opinion, Liu Beijun is going here, hmm? ”
"Huarong Dao?" Jaw opened and muttered to himself. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Zhe's solemn face, a little unclear.
Huarong Dao, this is Cao Cao's defeat route in history, if Zhuge Liang takes advantage of the terrain and sets up an ambush here, I have 13,000 light horses, I'm afraid,,
So, the illusion here was deliberately left by Zhuge Liang? It stands to reason that Zhuge Liang will not be so superficial in his calculations,
Or did Zhuge Liang deliberately create the illusion of an ambush to slow down our army, so that he could take the opportunity to escape?
Tsk, I don't understand it!
But how to say, since you have chased this place, wouldn't it be ridiculous if you were frightened by him?
After thinking about it, Jiang Zhe looked at the Cao generals around him. said in a low voice, "The generals will listen to the order, be on guard at all times, and slowly enter Huarong Dao!" ”
"The last general obeys!" The generals clenched their fists. Immediately clenched his fists and responded.
So, 10,000 light horsemen immediately set off. Unhurriedly rushed to Huarong Road, but when everyone arrived at the Huarong Road crossing, they saw that Cao Chun and three thousand tigers and leopards had assembled here.
"Zihe, have you ever met Liu Beijun ambushing soldiers?" Ordering the whole army to stop, Jiang Zhe frowned and asked Cao Chundao.
"No!" Cao Chun shook his head, then glanced at the direction of Huarong Dao, and said hesitantly, "Liu Beijun seems to have gone here, and the last general has just entered to investigate, and he saw that the road crossing is narrow and foggy, so the enemy army will set up an ambush here, so he withdrew to the road crossing and waited for Situ."
"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe nodded, ordered the whole army to stand by, and led the generals into Huarong Road to look.
I saw that in the fog, the cliffs on both sides of Huarong Road were steep, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, which was obviously an extremely dangerous place, and it was not good. I'm afraid that Jiang's wife will follow in the footsteps of Ma Teng.
"Tsk!" Raising his eyes and looking at both sides, Jiang Zhe frowned and said to the generals beside him, "Do you think there will be an ambush on this road?" ”
When the generals were thinking, Xu Huang hugged his fists and persuaded. "Situ, the last general thinks that if Zhuge Liang has been counted as the pursuit of our army. Even if it's a little bit of intelligence. I will not leave ambush here,"
"What do you mean. Shall I quit the army? Jiang Zhe glanced at Xu Huang inexplicably, and Xu Huang hurriedly explained, "That's not what the last general meant, I'll wait all the way, if I retreat here." Isn't it in vain, the last general means that if Situ and the last general have a soldier and horse, the last general will go in to explore the road first, if there is no Liu Beijun ambush, the last general will turn around and tell Situ; If there is a burial
,
"Hugh is going to say," before Xu Huang could finish speaking. Jiang Zhe waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, "I am equal to advancing and retreating!" ”
I saw Xu Huang glancing at Jiang Zhe's eyes. I was really a little moved in my heart, and I hugged my fists and said ashamedly, "The last general is too talkative!" ”
"Heh" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, then took a deep look at the distant scene of Huarong Dao, raised his hand and shouted, "All the soldiers listen to the order, people hold blades, and horses move slowly." Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw in the front, Cao Hong in the middle, Xu Huang in the back, Zhao Yun and Cao Chun are in charge of the two wings of guard, and the rest of the people, each performing their duties, set off! ”
"No!" The generals clasped their fists and saluted.
But "slow" seems too slow, right?
Watching Cao Jun's action, although it is a light horse, the current foot distance is not even comparable to that of a foot soldier, I have to say. For the name Huarong Dao, Jiang Zhe has a deep fear.
After walking for more than half an hour, seeing that the road was getting narrower and narrower, Jiang Zhe's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, for fear that Liu Beijun would come out of nowhere.
Obviously, his consideration is superfluous, not to mention that he has not yet felt any warning, and the situation in Huarong Dao is still the same as the "introduction." What sounded around was the slightly messy hooves of Cao Jun's light horse, which seemed to shout "Lie, only them,,
Finally arrived at the narrowest part of Huarong Road......
"All grass stops!"
Don't get me wrong, this is not Jiang Zhe's order. Instead, Zhang Liao, who was at the front of the team, beside Jiang Zhe!
"Wenyuan?" Jiang Zhe looked at Zhang Liao in surprise, but saw Zhang Liao clenching his fists and said, "Situ, the last general looks at the front, it is very precipitous, it is better to be cautious,"
His voice fell, and he chuckled not far away. He took the spear and said, "What General Zhang said is very true, it is inevitable that he will be ambushed, and it is better for the last general to go and investigate. Didn't Situ call the last general to go? ”
What's more, it's just exploring the way, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, and at the same time admired the courage of the open jaw, and said with his hand. "In this way, there is General Lao!"
"How dare you" opened his jaw and humbly replied. Then his face straightened, and he raised his hand and shouted, "Can anyone go with me?" ”
Hundreds of people came out in response to the second voice of the voice. I have to say that Cao Jun may be the most daring and warlike in the world, of course, the "Cao Jun" here. Excluding the Jingxiang Army,
In the end, Zhang Jaw just brought a few dozen people to go, after all, it was just to explore the way, there were stones to ask for directions in ancient times, and now Zhang Jaw is acting as the stone that asks for directions, and Zhang Jaw is worthy of being the general of the Cao Army who Zhuge Liang is also deeply afraid of.
Since Zhang Jaw went to explore the way, Jiang Zhe and the others naturally did not dare to act rashly before they knew the specifics, so they ordered to rest in place.
Liu Bei was close at hand, but he had to be on standby here, and I have to say that Jiang Zhe was even more in his heart
boat
Half an hour later, Zhang Jaw still didn't come back, which made Jiang Zhe feel a little uneasy, but strangely, he didn't hear any screams and fights, "Huh? Zhang Liao, who was beside him, looked left and right in surprise. Muttered, "The fog has dispersed? ”
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the fog around him was gradually dispersing, and the fog at the moment, even if it was called a mist, it could be regarded as lifting.
And as soon as the fog dispersed, the steep mountain walls on both sides made Jiang Zhe even more afraid, and he was secretly glad that Zhuge Liang had never set up a knowledge here...
However, Jiang Zhe also had doubts about this, why did Zhuge Liang not set up an ambush here?
Could it be that the desire to retreat east is urgent, and there is no intention to set up an ambush?
Isn't he afraid that our army will catch up? You must know that Liu Beijun is mostly a foot soldier and can't go far. And our army is all light cavalry, even if it is delayed here for a long time, it can still catch up with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses......
Can't figure it out...
"Situ!" With a call, Zhang Jaw came back, and there were many Sergeant Cao beside him.
"Qi Qi Situ, within two or three miles ahead, there is no ambush of Liu Beijun!"
"Good!" Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Jiang Zhe raised his whip and shouted, "The army is set off, chase!" ”
"Drink!"
After the narrowest place, the subsequent road seemed to be a little clearer, at least compared to the previous means, it was much better, at least Jiang Zhe and the others were a little relieved.
But what is not lacking is that as the journey progresses. The road under his feet seemed to be getting more and more muddy, and the fog around him began to gradually thicken" This made Jiang Zhe a little puzzled.
After estimating that after more than half an hour, the road became more and more bumpy, and the marching speed of 13,000 light horsemen was deeply affected.
Jiang Zhe came to his senses at this time, and now that he is in the world, I am afraid that Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to cut "reeds and tall grass to fill the road" in history. location.
Other words
Looking at the thick fog that rose again around him, Jiang Zhe felt faintly uneasy in his heart, which became heavier and heavier.
Yes! In the Cao army's array, there was a sudden exclamation.
"What's going on?" Jiang Zhe turned around. Shouted.
Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao beside him also changed their complexions, and shouted heavily, "The whole army stops, stand by in place!" ”
The shouts of "Ahhh
Jiang Zhe looked in the direction of the Chinese army in astonishment and shouted loudly, "Cao Hong, what happened?" Come! ”
"This," Hearing Jiang Zhe's shout in front of him, Cao Hong was very embarrassed on his face, because due to the influence of the fog, he still couldn't figure out what was going on, and how to answer?
"Tsk!" Jiang Zhe frowned, looked back at Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw beside him and said, "Zhang Liao is on guard here. Open your jaw, come with me! After that, Jiang Zhe asked the Chinese army to leave.
"No!" Zhang Jaw clenched his fists in response, leading dozens of light horsemen to act as Jiang Zhe's guards, and looked behind him
Go.
Frowning at the disturbing mist, Jiang Zhe felt a burst of doubt in his heart.
Could it be Liu Beijun's ambush?
It shouldn't be" Otherwise, the shouts of killing would have already sounded, how could it be like now, with only the cries for help of the soldiers under his command?
"Ahh Suddenly, Jiang Zhe only heard an exclamation behind him, and when he looked back, he suddenly understood everything.
I saw that only two feet beside him, a light rider who came with him, as if drowning, churned with his hands in the fog, and shouted for help.
Swamp and...
"What's going on?" Zhang Jaw frowned. rode over, but suddenly heard Jiang Zhe shouting.
"Even-righteousness. Stop! No one is allowed to go there! ”
"How" how? Zhang Jaw turned his head with a shocked expression, and Cao Bing, who wanted to go to the rescue nearby, was also stunned.
"Quickly give the order to the whole army, and all the soldiers dismount. Stand by in place, don't move a step, rescue Tongze with the spear in your hand, even Yi, stretch out your spear! ”
"Yes!" As if I understood something. He turned over and dismounted and walked a few steps carefully, holding the head of the gun, poking the tail of the gun over, and shouting, "Grab the handle of the gun!" ”
"Catch, catch, catch!" Not far away, the panicked shout of the Cao soldier was heard.
"Whew"! With a loud sound. Zhang Jaw forced the Cao soldier to pull up from the swamp, but unfortunately his ** mount had already been accompanied by a burst of sad hissing and gradually sank.
With Jiang Zhe's general order, the 13,000 Cao army light cavalry gradually understood the reason, and the riot stopped. They used spears, horse whips, etc. Rescue Tong Ze who accidentally fell into the swamp.
However, even so, the 13,000 light cavalry of the Cao army also lost 5 or 600 horses, and 3 or 400 Cao soldiers were the first to fall into the swamp.
Frowning and looking around, looking at the swampy area hidden in the fog, Jiang Zhe muttered. "Zhuge Liang, it seems that this is your killing move"
All the things ahead, whether it is the crumb or the lack of ambushes in the narrow places, it is just to lead our army deep into the hinterland of Huarong Dao" Also, with this fog, you don't have to send ambushes at all...
Looks like you're trying to kill us all!
It's a big problem now",
Looking at the fog around him, Jiang Zhe, who had already ordered the whole army to dismount and stand by, fell into deep thought.
Fan: Last night my family came to my relatives for dinner."
Make up for it this week, there will be one day when it will be 12,000)
