Chapter 212: A Plan to Cross the River
In the fifth year of the Great Cause, on January 7, Hedong Kingdom.
The bitter cold of autumn and winter has just dissipated, and there is still a chill in the air. The Yellow River is rolling southward. Zhang Shuang and Li Hui walked on the riverbank together.
"After another few months, the cavalry of the Lu Che cavalry has been trained, and the cavalry of the Huns has also become high-pitched. Not to mention the infantry army. It can be said that everything is ready, and only one plan is owed. Can the general think of a strategy for crossing the river? ”
Li Hui asked with a smile, as the years passed, Li Hui gradually became more stable, and the long beard on his chin gradually flowed.
Zhang Shuang once laughed at him, a man with a long beard.
"Isn't it your business as a strategist to think of a plan?" Zhang Shuang pursed his lips and said.
"I can't think of it, I can only pin my hope on the general when I look back." Li Hui didn't blush at all, and said with a smile.
"Wine bag rice bag." Zhang Shuang scolded with a smile.
"I admit it!" Li Hui shrugged his shoulders and simply admitted.
Zhang Shuang complained in his heart that he was undisciplined, but he turned his head to the west and looked at the beacon towers one after another on the opposite riverbank.
showed a little smile and said: "The setting of the beacon tower can be said to be decent, it plays the role of early warning, and with Dong Zhuo's cavalry, the defense is strong. But it's a pity that the people who set it up don't understand a truth, that is, there is only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”
"Seeing the stitches, the general sees its weakness?" Li Hui's eyes lit up.
"The weakness is obvious. It's just a tired tactic. Zhang Shuang smiled lightly and said.
"I see, I see." Li Hui's eyes narrowed. Suddenly revealed.
"Summons the generals."
Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"No." Li Hui promised to go down. Soon after, Zhang Shuang returned to the Chinese army's big tent. Inside the tent, Lu Bu. Dian Wei, Zhang Yan and other generals have already sat down.
"I've been waiting for months, and the generals have worked hard. From now on, we begin to deploy across the river. Zhang Shuang sat on the handsome seat, glanced at the generals, and said.
"Assault?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up and asked.
"This guy, after training the cavalry, has become more imposing." Zhang Shuang said secretly in his heart. Then he said with a smile: "It's not a strong attack, it's a tired strategy." ”
"What a tired plan?" The heat in Lu Bu's heart dissipated slightly, but he was also curious.
"Huh." Zhang Shuang smiled and asked people to find a map. In the map of Feng Yi County, Zhang Shuang found a county seat called Yecheng.
"Dong Zhuotun is stationed here, and his cavalry can be in a semicircle, radiating the entire Yellow River to prevent our army from crossing the river."
"He set up beacon towers along the entire Yellow River. The cavalry could arrive in half a day. No matter how we cross the river. It is impossible to send 100,000 troops and baggage over in half a day. Dong Zhuo relied on this. ”
Zhang Shuang said. After a pause, Zhang Shuang smiled again: "But if we cross the river once a day." Choosing this section of the river at once, and choosing that section of the river at once, are all feints. Dong Zhuo's cavalry could only run for their lives. In less than two months, he became a tired teacher. It was easy for us to cross the river, and his beacon was set up. It's tantamount to self-defeating. ”
"I see, listen to the general's analysis. It's a lot easier to cross the river. Lu Bu touched his chin, somewhat admiring in his heart.
"Generals obey orders!"
After Zhang Shuang explained, he looked serious and shouted.
The generals took a deep breath and waited for the order.
"You twelve generals, divided into four teams, attack once a day." Zhang Shuang ordered.
"No."
The generals agreed.
……………
The year of the Great Cause, January 8.
On the west bank of the Yellow River, in a beacon tower. Each beacon tower is like a small house, boxy, flat on top, with a female wall, like a miniature version of the city.
Each beacon tower is guarded by five soldiers, and usually the soldiers live in the beacon tower. When the sentry is stationed, they will climb the beacon tower and watch the situation on the other side.
On this day, Wu Chang Ding Qing and the soldier Cheng Guang were the first to sentry.
"It's been a few months, and Zhang Shuang hasn't attacked. This task is really hard and tiring, and there is no woman to put out the fire. The lord simply summoned us back. "Cheng Guang is in his twenties, his blood is strong, and he is a pillar of optimus every morning, and at this moment, he can't help but complain.
"You kid knows a fart, it's a good thing that you didn't attack. If it is an attack, then our gang of people guarding the beacon tower will bear the brunt. ”
Ding Qing scolded with a smile.
"Hmph, it's better to die than to have no woman." Cheng Guang snorted. Ding Qing shook his head. In the midst of laughter, the two sat down on the flat top, wrapped themselves in blankets, and looked at the other side from time to time.
From time to time, I drank wine to warm up my body, chatted, and time passed quickly.
"What's that?" Suddenly, Cheng Guang looked at the other side with wide eyes, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Ding Qing hurriedly looked up, only to see a big boat appearing on the riverbank, flying flags rampantly, as if thousands of troops and horses were crossing the river. Immediately there was a terrible scream. "Light the beacon, light the beacon."
The soldiers who were resting below immediately climbed up in a hurry, and the five of them hurriedly lit the beacon fire together. Then, immediately drove away.
This thing can't hold it at all, and if you run late, you'll definitely suffer.
"Whoa!"
The wolf smoke was lit from the Yellow River beacon tower in a very strict way, and it quickly went westward and arrived in the city.
……………
Industry City.
Because he was afraid that the people would get in the way, Dong Zhuo moved the people of the whole city to other cities. In this huge city, there were only Dong Zhuo's 100,000 infantry troops, and outside the city, Hua Xiong led 50,000 cavalry to camp.
Today, Dong Zhuo habitually slept lazily, rubbed his eyes, and got out of bed slowly. It wasn't until the maids came over and washed him that Dong Zhuo became a little more energetic.
"Now this energy is really declining. Sleeping three women in one night is already too high-end. Let's switch to two. Dong Zhuo touched his head, which was still a little drowsy, and said secretly in his heart.
"My lord, a beacon fire is burning in the east." Jia Xu hurriedly walked in.
"Ordered Huaxiong to fight, what are you going to report?" Dong Zhuo's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and his spirit became a hundred times greater.
"General Hua has been ordered to fight." Jia Xu said.
"Well, you're really fast." Dong Zhuo nodded happily, and then sat down again. "Since Hua Xiong has been sent over, then there is no problem. Zhang Shuang either retreated or crossed halfway, and was intercepted and killed by our General Huaxiong. ”
"However, we have to be on guard." Dong Zhuo touched his chin and ordered: "Order Zhang Ji to lead 30,000 infantry troops behind, slowly go east, and see if the situation is supporting." ”
"No."
Jia Xu promised and went down to give the order.
"Hmph, I'm a turtle-like defense. Zhang Shuang, what else can you do with me? Dong Zhuo snorted arrogantly, grabbed a plate of pastries on the table, put it in his mouth, and clicked and crunched.
………………
"The generals and soldiers are assembled outside the east gate of the city." In the city, Zhang Ji turned over his horse, held a spear, and shouted loudly.
"Uncle, maybe Zhang Shuang?" Zhang Xiu took the spear with great interest and came to ask Zhang Jidao.
"It's better not to fight." Zhang Ji glared at Zhang Xiudao.
"Uncle, you are really too conservative, only war can make achievements." Zhang Xiu pouted.
"It's better to go down and urge the generals to gather the army quickly." Zhang Ji scolded.
"No." Seeing that Zhang Jizhen was angry, Zhang Xiu promised and went down. Soon after, 30,000 infantry troops assembled in the east of the city, and under the leadership of Zhang Ji, they headed east.
At the same time, the 50,000 army led by Hua Xiong had already rushed out of a distance of about fifty miles. It is not far from the bank of the Yellow River.
"Zhang Shuang, a famous general in the world, is unparalleled brave. Will I have a chance to meet you this time? Hua Xiong held a big knife six long zhang, and there was a thrilling sense of meeting a famous general in his heart.
"Kill !!!!"
Huaxiong looked up to the sky and roared, and the sound shook the four fields.
"Kill!"
Fifty thousand Xiliang iron riders accompanied by the sound of rolling horses' hooves, shouting and responding, and the momentum was amazing. Soon after, Hua Xiong and others reached the bank of the Yellow River.
But no, no, no.
There is no sign of any large army crossing the river, and there is no Zhang Shuangbu army who has crossed the river preparing for defense. Only the roaring water of the Yellow River flows, and only the whining wind whistling.
"What's going on???" Hua Xiong asked loudly with green tendons on his forehead. Not long after, Ding Qing came to Hua Xiong's side conscientiously and reported: "General Hua, Zhang Shuang's army did cross the river, but after walking halfway, he suddenly turned the bow of the boat and went back. ”
"Shut up, there can't be such a thing." Hua Xiong shouted angrily, and said to the left and right: "Immediately kill all the five soldiers guarding the beacon tower." ”
"No." Left and right promised, no matter how Ding Qing explained and cried, he could not escape the fate of being killed.
"Damn, fake the news again. I'll kill your whole family. Hua Xiong yelled angrily, and then shouted: "Retreat! ”
"Da Da Da!" Fifty thousand Xiliang Iron rode under the leadership of Hua Xiong, turned the horse's head, and in the rolling dust, he went back as he came.
On the way, Hua Xiong met Zhang Ji's infantry army, and the two sides talked for a while and went back together. It didn't take long for Hua Xiong to return to the city.
"What's the situation??? How did you come back so soon. ”
Dong Zhuo summoned Hua Xiong in the hall of the mansion and said in surprise.
"Back to my lord, it was the people of the beacon tower who lied about the military situation." Hua Xiong snorted.
"Damn it." When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became angry and cursed.
"I've been killed by the last general." Huaxiong Road.
"Good kill." Dong Zhuo shouted. Then he took a few deep breaths and calmed down before he said to Hua Xiong: "General Hua has worked hard, go down and rest for the time being." ”
"No." Hua Xiong promised and went down.
"It turned out to be fake news, and it was really a false alarm." Dong Zhuo said to Jia Xu next to him.
"Hmm." Jia Xu snorted, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes. (To be continued......)
