Chapter 166: Zhao Yun's main formation

The strategist disagreed with the little marshal's suggestion, and said: "Although the Yuan clan is a big city, the former lieutenant Changshan has been defeated many times, until he was defeated and died, and the county soldiers either died or fled, and now there are not many troops left who are often defeated and embarrassed, so there is no need to worry, this Yuan clan has long been taken by my other Black Mountain department."

"General, just because the Yuan clan is a big city, there must be a lot of grain and goods stored in the county, so why not share it with the yellow-haired king? Although the siege was defeated, there are still 100,000 people scattered into the mountains, winter is coming, the mountains are cold, the departments lack food and clothing, if our department can attack the Yuan clan alone, break it, then the general has not only raised the prestige of love and righteousness, but also got grain, grain, weapons and goods, you can take the opportunity to recruit the ministries, even if the departments are not for the prestige of the general, only for food and clothing, they will also flock to it, get this 100,000 people, why worry about not becoming a big thing?

"If the general suspects that there are few soldiers, he can play more flags along the road, tie the horse's tail with branches when marching, and wait outside the county to raise dust on the horse, coerce the villagers, known as 10,000 people, hit the Xun thief to death, his department has no owner, the county is shocked, my army is here, the city is in turmoil, and it is easy to take"

Zuo Xu is from the words of this strategist, leading more than 3,000 people from the headquarters out of the mountain.

For Montenegro, recorded in ancient books, "(Shahe County, Xingzhou) Montenegro, forty miles west of the county" "(Qingshan County, Xingzhou) Montenegro, a green mountain, twenty miles west of the county, deep and dangerous, for the abyss of escape, to Zhou Taizu black, change Montenegro to Qingshan" "Mozi tastes the black mountain of Ji County", "the calf Ye people are in Montenegro, often a yellow calf comes to Yecheng to sell wine", "Qingshui out of the north of Xiuwu County, Hanoi" (Jun County Montenegro) northwest eighty miles, fifty miles in the week, several peaks are ringed, the shape is like a Zhanji, the stone is pale and black, the rock is steep, and the stream returns to the stream, At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan and others gathered here to plunder the counties and counties of Hebei ....... Or it is said that there is Chenjia Mountain in the west of Moshan, even south of it, the stone wall of Qishui stands under it, it is high 20 thousand and the deer intestine mountain, in the northwest of the county, and the black mountain is connected after the early peace of the Han Dynasty for four years. Yuan Shao led the troops into the Chaoge Lugut Mountain, and begged for poison and other thieves is also" (Weizhou Wei County) Montenegro, fifty-five miles north of the county, in the late Han Dynasty, Gu Bai Wai and other Montenegro, gathered more than 100,000 people, called the Black Mountain Thieves"

Yuanshi is in today's Hebei, Junxian Tangyin is in the north of today's Henan, these areas have Montenegro from this, and Montenegro is about the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. It winds southward from the southern part of Hebei Province and is located in the mountains of present-day northern Henan

That night, Zuo Su led his troops out of the valley.,

Two knights were ambushed in the distance outside the valley, and when they saw that they were taking advantage of the night to go out of the valley in the direction of the Yuan clan in the southeast, they immediately took a trail and galloped to the southeast.

The two knights took two horses, and the Marshall men did not stop, and after galloping for more than an hour, they crossed a river. Then we came to the bottom of a mountain. This mountain is called Purple Mountain, which is passed down from ancient times to legend. In the past, there was purple gas, and this mountain was connected, so it was named. Because there is a tomb of Zhao Shijun Zhao of the Warring States Period, it is also called Mafu Mountain.

This mountain is thirty miles northwest of Yuanshi County, covering a wide area, with a radius of forty or fifty miles. It is the closest mountain to Yuan's, its main peak is more than 100 zhang high, and it is also the highest mountain near Yuan's. Its mountains are also, the mountains are towering, and the foothills of the mountains are restored. Standing on the main peak, looking north and south. The north side is full of snails, and the hills in the south are undulating for dozens of miles. Four or five miles away from the north of the mountain, there is a river several zhang wide that flows through meanderingly.

It occupies the shape of the mountains and rivers, and the official road of the north and south comes out of the valley of the black mountain in the northwest, and there are many people and horses, so that it is convenient to march, you can not take the small road, you can only take the big road, if you want to go to the Yuanshi, you must pass through this mountain.

The two knights galloped to the bottom of the mountain, and instead of heading to the main peak, they went straight to the hilly area south of the main peak. Hills and hills, hills and hills. Compared with the mountains and peaks in the north, the terrain here is relatively gentle, and there are hills and hills to cover it, which is really a good place for Tibetan soldiers. The two knights rushed into the hills, walked not far, went around a hill several feet high, turned a corner, and suddenly opened up in front of them, a large sand and gravel clearing. In the night, more than 5,000 soldiers in armor, spears and swords sat in the open space.

From the ranks of the soldiers, seven or eight people came out. These seven or eight people were wearing heavy armor and red cloaks, and they were the first to be dressed in a black scarf, but it was Zhao Yun, behind him was a person dressed as a Confucian scholar, it was Xun Yu, and then Dian Wei, Liu Zhong, Li Dian, Li Xuan, Dong Zhi and others.

Zhao Yun, Xun Yu and others walked out of the soldiers and met the two knights. These two knights galloped for dozens of miles, and someone next to them handed water, but the two of them didn't answer, rushed to Yan Liang, and whispered: "Zuo Xu has led his troops out of the valley!" ”

"When did you come out of the valley?"

"Less than two hours ago."

"How many are there?"

"It's far away, I can't see clearly, but I see that the line seems to be quite long."

Zhao Yun is a person who doesn't talk much, and when he asks about the enemy situation in two sentences, he doesn't ask anymore, and orders left and right: "Take the map." ”

Liu Qing carried the map with him, took it out immediately, and spread it on the ground.

The moonlight tonight is good, the light is like water, sprinkled on the ground, Zhao Yun does not light the torch, first ask Xun Yu to squat, and then squat to the edge of the picture, just on the moonlight, take a closer look. Dong Zhi, Liu Zhong, Liu Qing, Li Dian, Li Xuan, and others also squatted down and formed a circle.

The map depicts the topography of the mountains and rivers of Tokoyama Province. Dong Zhi found Mafu Mountain, and then found the Black Mountain Valley where Zuo Su and others were hiding, rowed southeast along the valley, stopped at a position in the northwest between Mafu Mountain and the valley, and said: "This place is about sixty miles away from Zuo Su's hideout, and Zuo Su's troops are mainly foot soldiers, and they march slowly at night, and they have come here at most in less than two hours. ”

Xun Yu said: "When they come to the outside of Mafu Mountain, it will be noon tomorrow at the earliest." I'll have plenty of time to set up an ambush! ”

Liu Zhong's face was full of joy, and he said: "As Wenjun expected, this Zuo Xu really led his troops out of the valley!" ”

Liu Zhong said with a smile: "According to the scouts, there are less than 3,600 people in the left beard department, and our department is waiting for work, and it is an ambush and surprise attack, it is not difficult to destroy them!" ”

Zhao Yun stared at the map and did not speak. He had a black scarf over his face, and only a pair of eyes were visible, so others could not see his expression and did not know what he was thinking. Among the people present, Dong Zhi and Yan Liang's friendship was the most irreversible, and they were like brothers when they were really timed. Dong Zhi smiled and asked, "Zilong, what are you thinking?" Why don't you speak?

"I'm thinking about the Lord's explanation."

Wen Chou's exhortation came to Zhao Yun's mind, and he said to Xun Yu: "Xun Jun, the thief has come out of the valley, and my department has begun to set up an ambush." ”

Zhao Yun is an old friend of Wen Chou, Xun Yu knows him, knows his loyalty, filial piety and bravery, and respects him for three points. Since Wen Chou raised the army, Zhao Yun served as a minion, charged into battle, helped Wen Chou control the department, and his achievements were very high, Wen Chou regarded him as a confidant, and Xun Yu respected him even more. Hearing Zhao Yun's polite inquiry, he smiled and said, "The monarch is the main general, but Yu is just obedient." (To be continued.) )
