Chapter 19: The Battle of Xingyang!
The so-called good strategy is to deceive the enemy. also achieve their own goals, just like Zhang Baiqi and Jiang Zhe,
In the early morning of July 3 in the third year of Jian'an, compared to Zhang Baiqi, who was traveling day and night, was rushing to Haoyang; There are two lines of soldiers and horses slowly coming out of Jishui Pass
All the way, with Guan Yu as the main general and Chen Gang as the deputy general, with 3,000 soldiers under Liu Bei, he hurried to Luoyang, and after breaking Zhang Bai's horse, he lured the Luoyang Yellow Turban; On the other hand, Liu Bei was the main general, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were the main generals, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were assisted by two thousand elite Cao troops, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban in the Luoyang region being dragged by the army under Guan Yu, day and night. Straight to the Yellow Turban Tun grain land, Michi!
This trip can be described as dangerous and abnormal, and the yellow scarves in Luoyang are no less than 350,000!
Again. Now in the Bishui Pass, it can really be said that the garrison is empty, not to mention that there is no general guarding the pass, and there is only a few 3,000 Cao troops guarding the pass, if the Yellow Turban knows the rumors, I am afraid that it will not be far away, of course, for fraud, Sima Yi is obviously more complacent.
Passwords, changing guards, scolding, and having fun. Not to mention the straw man set up in the shadows, he actually used the three thousand Cao troops in the inner part of the Bishui Pass to deceive Liu Shi and Li Damu, the Yellow Turban generals outside the pass, and they were convinced that the Bishui Pass was heavily guarded. Where do you know if it's just on the surface?
I have to say that Liu Shi and Li Dari are too far away from Sima Yi, and it can be said that they were played by the latter in applause.
On July 4 of the third year of Jian'an, the first white horse of the Yellow Turban Kou arrived in Rongyang, and hid thirty miles southwest of Haoyang.
However, in one hour, the Yellow Turban General Wang Dang also arrived with 10,000 Yellow Turbans, and another hour, Sun Qing, Zhao Hong, Xiaoji, and all led the army to arrive. Only the lack of Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De's 8,000 people.
Ordering to rest on the spot, Zhang Baiqi called the generals and asked, "You are waiting on the road, have you encountered obstacles?"
"No!" The generals shook their heads.
As he was talking, Ma Chao and the other three led the army, and Zhang Bai rode over the three of them and asked, "Meng Qi, are you waiting on the road, have you ever encountered obstacles?" β
"This," Ma Chao frowned. hesitated for a moment, then hugged his fists and explained, "It's just that the road is too tortuous, and the trail is hidden along the way, so it is late, I hope the commander will forgive his sins."
"I don't want to accuse you of waiting," Zhang Baiqi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I waited until Bishui Guanji, and now that it has been a day, I am afraid that Jiang Zhe will solve it, so I will ask!" β
"Oh," Ma Chao shook his head and said. "Marshal Qiqi, we are late because of the long and tortuous road, not because of Cao Jun,"
"Who am I waiting for who didn't come through the trail, but you alone?" The yellow turban general Sun Qing sneered when he heard Ma Chao's words.
"Sun Qing!" Zhang Baiqi just glared at Sun and shut up lightly, then looked at the 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command here, walked a few steps, lowered his head and frowned, and muttered in confusion, "Could it be that God helped me, Jiang Zhe didn't find out?" No, don't be lucky against this person, I take "Dunjia." Although the magic method can deceive Jiang Zhe for a while. But in the end, he saw through it, well, he should take Haoyang as soon as possible, otherwise "Jiang Zhe is a person who does not act according to common sense, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not lead the official Du Cao army to reinforce Haoyang"
After thinking about it, he turned to the yellow turban generals and said. "Wait for you to retreat and rest, and after half an hour, you will definitely take Rongyang with me!"
"The last general obeys!" The generals responded with their fists clenched.
"Brother" walked beside Ma Chao, Ma Dai glanced at the rest of the generals, frowned and whispered, "I have suffered from that Sun Qing's anger in vain, if my brother does not order to rest there, I will wait for this road of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that I will be the first to arrive here."
"Even if it's the earliest, so what?" After finding a place, Ma Chao sat on the ground, wiped his spear with a cloth, and wiped it, and a tall, laughing figure couldn't help but appear in front of him
That reckless man! Ma Chao gritted his teeth.
"What about the earliest?!" Ma Dai's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice, "Then I can make fun of Sun Qing's family, I heard that he can't wait much faster than me."
"You've been with me all along, where did you learn about this?" Put down the spear. Ma Chao looked at his younger brother and asked lightly.
"Huh? Uh," Ma Dai was stunned and said, "This"
"Haha!" Pound laughed. patted Ma Dai's head, hugged him and whispered, "Don't underestimate Sun Qing too much, although this person is not as good as me in martial arts, but he is extremely effective in governing the army and training soldiers, and he is deeply trusted by Zhang Baiqi, and he will definitely not be the last to arrive here, according to what I see, except for Zhang Baiqi and Wang Dang, this person is this,"
"Huh?" Ma Dai was a little dumbfounded, and then said in annoyance, "So what, I'll wait a full hour early."
"Whisper!" Pang De hugged Ma Dai and said in a low voice, "I am now under the fence, it is really out of helplessness, it is better to be looked down upon by others, than to be on guard all the time, right?" β
"Brother Lingming, you mean," Ma Dai suddenly woke up.
"Huh!" Pound smiled and patted Ma Dai's head.
Why didn't Fei say it earlier" glanced at the brother who was wiping the spear and was wiping the scrape, Ma Dai sneered, "Didn't my brother tell me about this, otherwise"
"Otherwise?" Ma Chao glanced at his younger brother, shook his head, turned to Pang De and said, "Ling Ming, how are your injuries?" β
"It's out of the way!" Pang De patted his chest, and then sighed slightly and said, "Xiliang, it's still too small, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide." It's like two giant mountains, so overwhelming that I can't breathe! Being toyed with by Guan Yu on the applause is really a humiliation in his life! β
"It's good to keep your life alive" Ma Chao smiled slightly, raised his sword and shone it into the sun, put it into the scabbard with satisfaction, and said in a condensed voice, "One day, we can defeat these two."
"Yes!" Pound nodded.
"Brother" Ma Dai got up and sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother, you are okay now."
"How?" Ma Chaohu asked with a suspicious frown.
"Look," Ma Dai pointed to Pound. pointed at Ma Chao again, and said dissatisfiedly, "You and Brother Ling Ming, both have table words, but I have never had one, since my brother is fine now, it is better to help my younger brother think about deleting it."
Ma Chao opened his mouth, looked at his younger brother Yan and sighed secretly, patted Ma Dai on the shoulder and said, "Sincerely, how's it going?" β
"Boyuki?" Ma Dai frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this.
Be cautious and cautious, alas!
Pang De glanced at Ma Chao and said to Ma Dai with a smile, "This table is excellent!" β
"Really?" Ma Dai looked at Pound with some suspicion.
"Hey, I lied to you?"
"Is this never, cautiously, cautiously" Ma Dai muttered to himself.
Second brother, there is only one relative left for you as a brother, if even you are too, alas! A man is born in the world, and he should strive to gain fame and glory, but for the sake of his brother, you should be cautious, and do not be like my father or your uncle.
"How?" A slight smile appeared on his face. Ma Chao looked at his brother deeply. Once upon a time, the little guy who followed him and was bound to be a self-righteous general in the future has now gradually grown up... Oneβ»
Seeing the smile on Ma Chao's face, Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, since his uncle was unfortunately killed, he had never seen his brother smile like this.
"What do you think!" Frowning, Ma Chao used the scabbard to bring Ma Dai back to his senses.
Set,,The little brother is thinking about the words that my brother and I took the table,",Very good! β
"Humph!" Ma Chao said with a smile. "That's good!"
On the other side, Pound looked at this scene with a smile, recalling his own life experience. The heart is gloomy.
Idle! "The sound of the scabbard striking on a man's head is like a square.
Stunned, he raised his head. Pound looked at Ma Chao inexplicably.
I saw Ma Chao smile faintly, holding the scabbard and saying, "It seems that between you and me, there has been no competition for a long time, take this opportunity to go!" β
Hey! Pound's heart was gloomy and disappeared in an instant, and he lifted the tiger-headed war knife next to him and said with a smile, "It seems that I competed last year, and I was inferior to you by half a move, but now, hehe!" β
I'm not alone," looking at the beggar Chao walking in front of him, Pound's dark face showed a slight knowing smile.
"Wait for me!" Ma Dai hurriedly got up and chased after him, attracting the attention of the yellow scarves nearby.
Half an hour. fleeting, it is obvious that Ma Chao and Pang De, who had no intention of fighting, let alone what they were winning or losing, still had the strength to win most of them. was summoned by Zhang Baiqi.
Immediately, Zhang Baiqi ordered to march to Rongyang, and the 50,000 troops marched separately, slowly looking at Rongyang, only to see the mountains and fields all over the country, all of them were people with yellow scarves on their heads, which was really spectacular!
What Zhang Baiqi didn't calculate was that at the same time, on the wall of Haoyang, there were two members of Yue, Cao Jiang, who were looking into the distance and laughing and talking.
One of them doesn't need to say much, it is Yingchuan Taishou Li Tong and Li Wenda, so what about the other one?
Northland Spear King. Wancheng Zhang embroidery!
Ziwancheng was defeated. Zhang Xiu was captured by Jiang Zhe and bowed down to Cao, although the rights of the past are no longer there, but Zhang Xiu has a taste in Chongzhou.
Originally, Zhang Xiu didn't like to be in charge of too many things, that would make him waste martial arts, compared to power, Zhang Xiu preferred to study martial arts, but unfortunately he turned to practice guns halfway, and he was older, in terms of marksmanship, it is obvious that he has not reached the same height as Zhao Yun, but even so, Zhang Xiu's love for marksmanship has not changed.
Wake up early every day. Practicing martial arts, and then go to see the sage books, rest for a while, and then review martial arts, anyway, he is now a marquis, and the reward given by Cao Cao, as well as the annual salary, is enough for Zhang Xiu's whole family to live, anyway, Zhang Xiu himself, has no great ambitions,,
But the only thing that is called Zhang Xiu is a pity, is that Wancheng has now fallen into Liu Biao's pocket, which is the trust of his uncle before his death."
Fortunately, however. The people of Wancheng were relocated to Xiangcheng and Lushan early, which finally made Zhang Xiu a little less worried.
Zhang Xiu is convinced. Wancheng will one day be recaptured by Cao Cao, and then he will be the real Marquis of Wancheng. When I met my uncle after death, I naturally wouldn't be too ashamed.
That's it. Zhang Xiu lived a rich man's life in Chongzhou, and the days were conspicuous and very comfortable, but more than ten days ago, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Baibo Yellow Turban attacked Bishui Pass, which made him a little worried......
Zhang Xiu is now also a general under Cao Cao, and some small things can still be understood, such as who the general of the water guard is, the geometry of soldiers and horses, and so on.
remembered that Zhang Xiu wanted to help him at the beginning, and he also understood that once Bishui Pass was trapped, the whole territory of Chongzhou would be lost, what a big deal it was?
But before he could go, he suddenly got a piece of news that Situ Jiangzhe rushed from Xudu to Bishui Pass within two days, breaking the white wave and yellow scarf.
Seeing this person go in person, Zhang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, convinced that with this person, although there were 100,000 people in the yellow scarves, it would be difficult to overcome the Bishui Pass, but just yesterday, he received a letter, signed by Yingchuan Taishou Li Wenguo,"
"Brother Zhang" stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest, and Li Tong said with a sneer. "This white horse, I'm afraid it's still full of calculations, and I want to conquer Tiaoyang!"
"Huh. What Wenda said was extremely "Leaning on the city wall, Zhang Xiu shook his head and smiled, "This person is blocked in the hands of Situ." That's why I want to turn around and attack this city, haha, I didn't expect Situ to calculate it early"
"Brother Lao Zhang worked day and night, single-handedly to recruit people, Li Tong felt ashamed!" Hugging his fists, facing Zhang Xiu, who had not been friends for a long time, Li Tong said apologetically.
"What did Wenda say" Zhang Xiu smiled, leaned over and glanced at the garrison under the city, and said happily, "Situ has a life, how dare the last general disobey, besides, now that I and my family also live in Chongzhou, this alone can't make that white horse step into Chongzhou, let alone the people of Chongzhou?" β
"What Brother Zhang said is very good!" Li Tong smiled, and suddenly remembered something. opened his mouth and said, "I brought 18,000 soldiers with me on this trip, and 10,000 are out of Ziying" The remaining 8,000 are General Xiahou of Yecheng who heard about this. Reinforcements sent. At the same time, Rongyang already has 6,000 soldiers and horses, and now we are under the command of 24,000 soldiers and horses, Li is divided into half with Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang is in charge of the west and south gates, and Li guards the east and south gates, how about it? β
"Good!" Zhang Xiu responded, then frowned and said, "Among the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, what is the bow and crossbow?" β
"Brother Zhang, don't worry!" Li Tong smiled and said, "Li Mou has prepared for this matter since he got Situ's letter, I brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were crossbowmen, and among the 8,000 soldiers and horses sent by General Xiahou, there were 5,000 swords, shields, and spearmen. Two thousand bows and crossbows, and the remaining one thousand", hehe! β
"Could it be cavalry?" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up.
"Exactly!" Li Tong clasped his fists together and said in a condensed voice, "General Xiahou sent all the cavalry under his command here. We have a great responsibility! β
"Hehe" Zhang Xiu smiled, stroked the wall and smiled bitterly, "As long as I don't make enemies with Situ and other strategists, I, Zhang Xiu, am not afraid of others!" β
"Haha!" Li Tong laughed when he heard this.
"General Lee. General Lee! Suddenly there was a shout from the city.
Li Tong and Zhang Xiu turned around when they heard this, and just saw a slightly bloated literati running from side to side. Li Tong whispered to Zhang Xiu, "This is Rongyang Taishou." Chen Ji, Chen Youzhi! β
"Oh!" Zhang Xiu suddenly hugged his fist at the visitor, "Zhang Xiu has seen Chen Taishou!" β
"Zhang Xiu" Chen Ji was stunned, his face was a little confused, and then he suddenly said, "But General Zhang Xiuji, Marquis of Wancheng?" β
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhang Xiu bowed humbly.
"Look up for a long time!" Chen Yu bowed down and gave a big salute, but his body was too bloated and a little nondescript.
Do you know what Chen Taishou is calling the last general? Li Tong asked suspiciously.
"How dare you." Chen Ji owed a debt and said respectfully, "I got the general's order yesterday to send the soldiers in the city to monitor the nearby area, and only then did I get a report, twenty miles away, a large number of soldiers and horses were found, and Zhang Tianxia was lucky." Waiting for the flag, presumably Zhang Bai has arrived on this thief! β
Glancing at Zhang Xiu, Li Tong said with a smile, "Ding'er is worried about picking up the wind with Brother Zhang, I don't want this white horse to give face now,"
"Venda said yes!" Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, with a little light in his eyes, and said loudly, "Tell me to kill the enemy on an empty stomach, this matter should be rewarded."
"Haha!"
"It's better for the two generals to be cautious," Chen Ji, who was slightly afraid, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his equally bloated hand, and said in a sneer.
Compared with Li Tong and Zhang Xiu, who laughed repeatedly, and Zhang Baiqi under Rongyang City, he couldn't laugh at all.
Who said that Rongyang's garrison was weak?
Could it be that the dense Cao army in the city is all decorations?
Grit your teeth. Zhang Baiqi frowned deeply.
"How is it possible" beside Zhang Baiqi, the Yellow Turban General Wang Dang was stunned, looked at the Cao army on the city wall in disbelief, and said distractedly, "The Cao army of Chongzhou has all been transferred to the Yellow River, this Mengyang is so possible,"
"Zhang Bai rides!" Suddenly, a loud laugh came from Rongyang City, "Coveting my ruling land in Yaozhou, it will cause a military disaster." Life is miserable, how can you be embarrassed by your white riding! β
Zhang Baiqi glanced up at the city, and Sun Qing, the general of the Yellow Turban, had already taken a few steps forward and shouted loudly. "Who are you, report your name?"
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Yingchuan is too shou Li Tong and Li Wenda!" Shut it down, and Cao Jiang laughed. Moan, shout. "But then Jiang Zhe told you to come here?"
"Tide!" Li Tong in the city shouted loudly and said sharply, "Hmph! Situ knows your ambition to ride a wolf in white. The heart of Swallowing Chongzhou will definitely not die, so before Situ went to Bishui Pass, he asked me to lead the army here. In order to prevent you from turning around and attacking here, hum! Sure enough, he didn't go out of Situ
Jiang Zhe called this person to come to Rongyang before he sent his troops? That's okay, "If Jiang Zhe arrives at Jishui Pass and then asks this person to come to Rongyang, then it will be elusive."
It is also "Wang Dang wants to get this plan, as deep as Jiang Zhe, it is absolutely impossible to think of it, but even so, Zhang Baiqi is still faintly uneasy in his heart.
Hey! It's really nonsense, obviously he only led the army to this place yesterday" Chen Ji behind Li Tong shook his head secretly and smiled bitterly.
Who said that martial artists are unscrupulous and do not deceive others?
"Li Wenda!" Zhang Baiqi frowned and shouted, "Are you deliberately trying to stop me from being here?" Don't wait until after the city is broken, it's better to regret it! β
Startled! Li Tong propped up his strength with one hand, and shouted angrily, "The thief is disrespectful, I, Li Tong, have come hundreds of miles to stop you here, how are you going?" β
"Good! Very good! Zhang Baiqi's face turned cold, and three words came out of his mouth.
"How!" Li Tong raised his eyebrows and said defiantly, "Zhang Baiqi, don't you want to seize this city?" Standing under the city, do you still wait for me to die of old age? β
"Interesting" Zhang Baiqi glanced deeply at Li Tong in the city, and commanded in a low voice, "Wang Dang, Sun Qing, lead the brothers, pay attention to our left and right sides!" β
"Yes!" Wang Dang and Sun Qing glanced at each other, retreated quietly, and secretly dispatched their soldiers and horses.
"Ma Chao!" Zhang Baiqi pointed to Rongyang City and shouted in a low voice, "Go, lead your brothers, and be cautious that Cao Jun will kill from the city gate!" β
Only "Yes! Ma Chao responded with his fists clenched, greeted Pang De and Ma Dai, and led his eight thousand yellow turbans to prepare to attack the city.
"Humph!" Sneered and glanced at Guancheng, Zhang Bai waved his horseman, and suddenly the 50,000 army slowly pressed the realm, and the huge momentum made the Cao army in the city a little breathless.
Zhang Bai rides you, and I plan it! Li Tong laughed secretly, turned around and glanced at Chen Ji behind him. He took a step back and shouted. "All the troops are on alert. Get ready to meet the enemy! However, after shouting. He quietly let a guard of his size give orders on his behalf, but he slipped away quietly
"Drink!" Cao Jun cheered and strengthened his courage, and his morale finally recovered.
"Crossbowmen ready!" Ma Chao closed it with one finger and shouted, "Release the arrow!" β
Does Zhang Baiqi want to use this method to capture the strong Haoyang with the city wall? Chen Ji was confused, and shouted with all his might, "Shoot arrows!" β
Looking coldly at the city and the city shooting with a bow and crossbow, Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice, "Peng Tuo, prepare."
Only," Zhang Bai rode behind the generals and looked at each other.
"Peng" was a little angry, Zhang Baiqi frowned and glanced back, but he only saw the uneasy eyes of the generals. I suddenly remembered in my heart that the fierce general Zhangtuo had succumbed to Jiang Zhe's "Eight Gate Yan Escape Formation, in the middle ......
Just a little self" Zhang Baiqi sighed secretly and said in a tight voice, "If the Cao army is in chaos later, you will lead the cavalry to follow me to cover up and kill and take the city gate!" β
"Yes!" The Yellow Turban General Bu Ji responded with his fists clenched.
"Kill!" With a loud shout, the gate of Mengyang West City slowly opened, and the soldiers and horses suddenly came out all the way. went straight to Ma Chao and other eight thousand yellow scarves, and the first general was Li Tong!
At the same time, there was also a loud shout from the south, Zhang Baiqi turned his head to look, as he expected, there was a Cao army hiding in the south, and at this time, he was in trouble!
Little self! Zhang Baiqi shouted.
"Yes! Xiao Ji clenched his fists and saluted, and then his face changed, and he pointed to the West City Gate and shouted, "Brothers. Kill the past. Take the gates! β
"Drink!" After the Chinese army, the Yellow Turban cavalry shouted loudly, bypassed Zhang Bai and rode the Chinese army in two groups, and went straight to the gate of Rongyang City.
"Not good!" On the wall of Rongyang, Chen Ji saw Zhang Bai's cavalry and horse dispatch, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he lost his mind and shouted, "General Li is against Zhang Bai's cavalry plan!" How is it good? How is it good? β
Looking at the bloated body turning back and forth on the city wall, the guards beside him hurriedly shouted, "Taishou, General Li went out of the city to kill the enemy, you are the top pillar of the city!" β
"I'm the top beam? Am I a top beam? I saw Chen Ji's face pale. Looking left and right in a little panic, seeing that Cao Bing around him was looking at him, he stroked his chest and took a few deep breaths, and said in a panic, "Quick, fast." Ming Jin Ming Jin, call General Li back, don't Ming Jin, if it's Ming Jin. Our army is in chaos! β
Only," the guard looked stunned, looking at Chen Ji and muttering to himself.
I saw Chen Ji's face flushed, he gritted his teeth fiercely, waved his sleeves, and shouted, "Close the ship." I'll give it to you, archery, archery, and don't teach the thief to get a step closer to the gates! β
"What about the adults?" A nearby Cao general received the order and asked suspiciously.
I, Chen Qi's eyes were flustered, he snatched the long sword from the hand of the soldier next to him, and said sharply, "I'll guard the city gate!" β
Adults guarding the city gates? Guan Gang was stunned, and then he was stunned to see Chen Ji hurriedly walking to the steps, and he didn't pay attention, but rolled down.
"Your Excellency!"
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way", I saw Chen Ji in the city covered with blood. After shouting two words, he ran towards the city gate.
In addition to being able to make money, this guy has some guts."
Guan Hang and the nearby Cao Jiang glanced at each other. wW
