Chapter 013 Ma Teng offered a plan to save Cao Zhang
Looking at the eagerness of the four generals, Liu Cong commanded again: "At that time, the four gates of Yecheng will all be opened, and you will lead the troops into the city respectively, and after dawn, you must finish clearing the Cao soldiers in the city and occupy the yamen." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Well, remember, you don't have to chase down the Cao soldiers who escaped Cheng, let them come and go freely. The four generals listened and rushed to lead the troops.
(Besides, after Ma Teng returned to the yamen with his troops, he saw Cao Zhang sitting in the yamen with a sad face and not speaking, and Cao Ren was also sitting on the side, looking out of the window with his eyes blank, Ma Teng stepped forward and said, "What is the little general thinking?") β
Cao Zhang turned his face to look at him and said: "It's almost a day today, it is estimated that Liu Cong will attack the city when he comes to the outside of the city, who knows what attention he plays, after coming to the outside of the city, he will garrison the soldiers and horses, and then parade around Yecheng."
Well, this is news that I have never seen before - the two armies are fighting, and they don't even hurry up to fight, but it is a military parade to show strength or have other intentions, which is really incomprehensible. β
Cao Ren followed up, and he said: "The purpose of Liu Cong's troops coming here is to capture Yecheng. Everyone understands this, but what is incomprehensible is Liu Cong's actions.
General Ma, do you estimate, how do you think Liu Cong will act? β
As soon as Ma Teng saw that the time had come, he spoke, and he said, "Little general, don't you remember what it says in the book of soldiers?" Proud soldiers are defeated, right? β
Cao Zhang and Cao Ren listened, and they couldn't understand Ma Teng's intentions for a while, so they stared at Ma Teng with wide eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Ma Teng continued: "Little general, let's be honest. Our defeat in this battle is enough to illustrate the truth that 'proud soldiers will be defeated.'"
You think, our hundreds of thousands of troops all the way to cover and kill, fight fiercely and chase fiercely, continuous combat is like the off-string arrow, just out of the bow time, enough to have ten strength, as the flight distance is getting farther and farther, the strength of the arrow is gradually consumed, and when it reaches the bank of the Yellow River, the strength of our army has been exhausted.
At this time, Liu Cong's men and horses had been recuperating for a long time, and their morale was flourishing, and they were counterattacking head-on, and our army had no power to resist.
So he was easily defeated by Liu Cong."
When Ma Teng said this, Cao Ren couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted him and said: "Everyone understands this, if General Ma has any lofty opinions, please come out directly." Things have come to this point, we can't care about the outside world, let's talk about it. β
When Ma Teng heard this, he smiled gently, and then said: "The last general is here to offer advice to the little general, please listen carefully." β
Military advisor Cheng Yu seemed to feel that Ma Teng had something important to report, so he interjected: "We don't have to bother, please General Ma continue." β
Ma Teng said, "In fact, this defeat can't be blamed entirely on the little general himself, we are all responsible - since we all know that 'at the end of the strong crossbow, its momentum cannot wear Lu Min', why don't you stop as soon as possible to rest and replenish your strength?" Kindness? β
When Ma Teng said this, he looked at everyone, and then said: "When the last general said such a thing, he did not complain and accuse everyone, and the last general was unwilling to do this, and he had no right to do so.
The last general means that all of us at that time committed the taboo of being arrogant and defeated! Underestimated the enemy.
Well, at that time, the little general led more than 100,000 horses and soldiers to attack the two cities of Dongjun and Yanzhou in two ways, thinking of conquering these two cities in one fell swoop, and then garrisoning them to form a horn in these two places, preparing to compete with Liu Cong in the Central Plains.
However, these two cities have not yet been conquered, and Liu Cong led his troops to kill them. At that time, we all underestimated the enemy, underestimated the enemy.
At that time, if we had stopped, set up camp and fought with Liu Cong, our army would still have an absolute advantage.
However, we mistakenly thought that Liu Cong had come from afar, and his troops were exhausted and vulnerable, so in the case of Liu Cong's defeat, we fell into his trick of luring the troops, and chased and fought all the way, and we were defeated later. To sum it up, we are too proud and underestimate the enemy. β
Ma Teng said this, looked at Cheng Yu, only to see Cheng Yu frowning, looking down and thinking, full of remorse, Ma Teng continued: "The last general led the troops to patrol the sentry today, but he found an interesting phenomenon - Liu Cong is also making the mistake of underestimating the enemy at this time!" β
As soon as Ma Teng said this, Cao Zhang, Cao Ren and Cheng Yu looked at Ma Teng with wide eyes.
Cao Ren was quick to speak, and when he opened his mouth, he asked, "How can General Ma talk like this?" Where did you see it, where did you see that Liu Cong was making the mistake of underestimating the enemy? β
Ma Teng smiled and said, "Didn't the little general and you see it?" Didn't you see Liu Cong's performance after he brought the troops over?
Hehe, Liu Cong stationed his soldiers and horses at a high place outside the city, not in a hurry to attack the city, but led the troops to besiege the city and parade to show his strength, delusionally trying to show his strength to deter our army and force our army to surrender.
Hehehehe, Liu Cong's performance is to despise the strength of our army from the heart! β
When Cao Ren heard this, he said in frustration: "We have all experienced this. However, Liu Cong's underestimation of the enemy made sense - 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged a lonely city, and there were only less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the lonely city, and there was no rescue outside and no food and grass inside. Why did Liu Cong spend his troops to attack the city? After a few months of siege, we're all dried up! He justifies his underestimation of the enemy! β
Ma Teng listened, and did not reply, but whispered to Cao Zhang: "Little general, the last general has a plan, which can break Liu Cong's 100,000 elite soldiers." Thinking about dedicating it to the little general, I don't know whether to say it or not? β
When Cao Zhang heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ma Teng for a while before asking, "What is the plan?" As long as you can defeat the enemy, just say it, what should you not do? β
"The last general felt that Liu Cong was very light on the enemy at this time, because he underestimated the enemy, he must be negligent in defense. Therefore, the last general wanted to take the opportunity, well, tonight, while the Jingzhou soldiers had not yet launched an attack on the city, he captured Liu Cong in one fell swoop.
In this way, 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers should be defeated without a fight, the siege of Yecheng was easily solved, and Hebei was owned by the prime minister.
Little general, do you think this plan is feasible? β
Cao Zhang listened, looked at Ma Teng stupidly for a while, and asked, "What plan?" You didn't say it. You name it, if you can achieve such a goal, then of course it is good, and you can't ask for it. β
Ma Teng said, he said: "Little general, after the last general comes to Yecheng, it is estimated that sooner or later there will be a battle here."
In order to prevent accidents, he ordered people to dig tunnels in his yard, preparing to lead his family to escape from the city in case he was forced to be in a hurry.
Today, the time has come. Seeing that Liu Cong led 100,000 elite soldiers to besiege Yecheng like an iron bucket, and our army had no way out, I planned to lead the troops to sneak out of the city from my tunnel, disguise myself as Jingzhou soldiers, infiltrate the Jingzhou barracks, and capture Liu Cong!
As long as Liu Cong was captured alive, the entire battle situation would change immediately. Look, little general, is this strategy usable? β
Cao Zhang hadn't answered yet, but Cao Ren spoke, and he said, "If it can really succeed, then of course it's good." I can't ask for it. However, it won't be that simple. Although Liu Cong was very light on the enemy at this time, it was not easy to infiltrate his Chinese army's big tent, and I am afraid it would be difficult to make the trip at this time. β
When Ma Teng heard this, he argued: "General Cao doesn't know, I haven't finished talking yet." Today, when I led my troops to patrol the city wall, I saw that Liu Cong's Chinese army tent outside the city was built right in front of the exit of my tunnel.
Tonight, I led fifty elite soldiers, dressed up as Jingzhou soldiers, after eating and drinking enough, each brought a sharp weapon, hid on his body, and went down from this tunnel mouth in less than half an hour, enough to reach the tunnel exit behind Liu Cong's Chinese army's big tent.
After arriving there, he quietly pushed open the tunnel entrance, and took advantage of the night to touch Liu Cong's big tent, and fifty elite soldiers swarmed up, which was enough to capture Liu Cong.
Then take this Liu Cong into the tunnel, even if there are Jingzhou soldiers chasing after us, it will not affect our major events, and the tunnel entrance will be blocked, which is really a husband and a wife.
Even if the Jingzhou soldiers entered the tunnel, they couldn't catch up with us. Little general, what do you think? β
Cao Zhangyi heard the confidence, stood up straight and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said happily: "Really? There are only things in the world that cannot be imagined, and there is nothing that cannot be done. Ahh β
When Cao Zhang said this, he bowed his head and asked Ma Teng: "General Ma went out this time and successfully fought a battle, so he will leave his name in history." Hehe, that's good. I ask you, how many men do you need to lead to achieve this great achievement? β
Ma Teng blinked his eyes and said, "Since ancient times, there have been sneak attacks with troops, and no large troops have been used. If a large number of men and horses are used, then there is no need for a sneak attack. The characteristic of the sneak attack is in this stealing word, since it is going to be secretly attacked, it must be quietly not noticed.
So, this time I only need to bring fifty elite soldiers. If there are too many people, it will be messy and easy to make mistakes. β
Cao Zhang, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ren listened to what Ma Teng said, and unanimously agreed to his plan of action.
Cao Zhang waited anxiously for the dark with great interest, so that Ma Teng could use the plan.
Cao Ren and Cheng Yu were suspicious and confused, and they didn't believe that Ma Teng's plan could succeed, "However, the situation is already like this, and there is no other strategy available without this strategy." If you succeed, let's look forward to it. β
Cheng Yu thought of this, looked at Cao Ren, and saw Cao Ren nodding at him and smiling bitterly, Cheng Yu understood Cao Ren's intentions, and he also helplessly supported the use of this strategy - there is a strategy available, it is better than sitting here and waiting for death!
Besides, if this strategy fails, there is not much to loseβall the soldiers who joined the battle are killed, and there are only fifty of them.
Since you have a good plan, you must implement it carefully, Cao Zhang said, he said: "General Ma, since you have an arranged tunnel at home, let's start preparing for action." What do you think? Let's go to your house and see how the tunnels are. β013
