Chapter 12 of the middle volume is picking melons at your fingertips

Chen Song didn't expect that the famous Wuguan would fall into the hands of the Jin army in such an almost child's play.

After the real division, Chen Song found that the army led by Shen Tianzi and Fu Hongzhi, counting the horsemen and fireheads, had barely 5,000 people, and it was a partial division of the first brigade.

It is impossible for any army in the world to be strong and strong in any direction, and it must be both virtual and real, yin and yang, strange and positive, and master and secondary. The so-called successful operation is to hit the eggs with stones in the place where the army is extravagant, and in the place where the ink should be cherished, I want to tie a straw man to be a general.

Liu Yu's original intention was to concentrate the strongest forces on the line from Tongguan to Chang'an, and open a passage to take the capital of Yao and Qin directly with the momentum of breaking bamboo. The thousands of people sent to the front line of Wuguan were just to create enough momentum that the defenders in that direction would not dare to draw troops to reinforce Guanzhong. If Shen and Fu Er have the ability to make the fake come true, really win the Wuguan, and kick the middle and back of the pass from the rear, it will of course be a great surprise; However, no experienced commander would take it lightly, believing that 5,000 people could take Wuguan Tianwei lightly. In fact, as long as Shen Fu can make the defenders of Wuguan feel like a great enemy, and dare not reduce the strength of the defending city in the slightest, it will already be a great support for the Jin army on the front line of Tongguan.

Wuguan has been the southern gate of Guanzhong since ancient times. The reason why Guanzhong is called Guanzhong is because there is Hangu Pass in the east, Dasan Pass in the west, Xiao Pass in the north, and Wuguan Pass in the south. Wuguan territory boundary Qin head and Chu tail, if the defenders of Guanzhong go straight to Guiyang from here, then the east will be shaken; On the contrary, if the foreign enemy enters Lantian from here, then the Guanzhong area will inevitably be in chaos.

Wuguan is bordered by cliffs in the north, surrounded by rivers in the east, west and south. There are four ridges in the east of the city, the most sinister of them is the suspension bridge ridge, there is only one path on the ridge, one side is a steep cliff, one side is a deep stream, can only accommodate a ride through guò, let you have thousands of troops and horses, to here, can only be a word long snake, meandering and wriggling.

Not to mention that there are only 5,000 people, even if there are 50,000 500,000 people, it is difficult to make a difference when encountering a defender who is determined to fight to the death.

But Shen Tianzi was not depressed.

He believes that although the military pass is dangerous, the military spirit is not solid.

Pointing to Luoyang and Tongguan on the map, he said that these two places were lost, and the defenders of Wuguan were most afraid not of someone coming to attack them in the front, but that the pass was not protected, and the backyard caught fire and was attacked from both sides. What's more, since Yao Qin ascended the throne, there have been frequent mutinies. The center was to hold the generals hostage, and they all moved their families to Chang'an. The generals of Wuguan are worried about their parents, wives and children, and their eyes are all fixed on the direction of Guanzhong, and they will not die here with Wuguan at all. On the contrary, our army is partial to the division and the first brigade, hanging alone in the enemy's territory, and everyone knows that if we do not fight to the death, we can only become a lonely ghost with a home and no return. The morale of the soldiers on both sides is like this, and there is no reason for Wuguan to be inferior.

It sounds like this.

But 5,000 people are covered in iron, how many nails can they punch, and how many eyes can they prick out of Wuguan?

Not to mention that there is not enough space for siege on all sides of Wuguan, even if there is, 5,000 people climb the four city walls, and the attack power is thin, and it will not take a morning, and most of the soldiers will be lost. When the hole cards are seen through and the enemy pours out, that is, when the army is lost and the whole army is destroyed.

A master of the army told Chen Song that after the army set off, the lieutenant sent someone to send a letter to Shen Tianzi, and after opening it, there were only four words: bluff.

Chen Song felt that this was like Liu Yu's style, and it was more like the product of speculation in the army. One is that Liu Yu commands the battle, never engages in this kind of chatter, he is used to making his intentions clear before the war, and then you can fight whatever you like, never remotely control or intervene. Second, he doesn't like to communicate with papers, and if he can speak clearly, he will never write.

But Shen Tianzi's bluff was indeed very prosperous.

Along the way, the village and town markets issued announcements, saying that they would bring 100,000 yuan of armor, and sign the names of 5 military masters in one go;

Sending troops to the village to collect grain, the amount of money is very large: 10 men in the prime of life eat, the consumption is amazing, everyone must give full support, and wait for the victory to double the repayment;

When camping, he desperately set up more tents, dug more earthen stoves, and deliberately extended the meal time;

The pit should also be dug up;

When entering the large market town, the striker walks out of sight and goes around to the rear team to re-enter;

When marching, the horse's tail is tied to the branches, which makes the dust more arrogant;

found a few veterans with local accents from the army, and asked them to pretend to be fugitive civilians, and infiltrated Wuguan early, spreading how the Jin army was menacing with many soldiers;

Constantly released rumors, saying that Chang'an was besieged, and the fate was on the horizon, and the main force of the Jin army was about to go south to take Wuguan to the side.

In short, I tried my best to scatter beans into soldiers.

Finally, 200 miles away from Wuguan, one morning, the herald came to report that an envoy had been sent from the direction of Wuguan to meet with the general of the Jin army.

Obviously, the Wuguan side has received so much true and false news, and it can no longer hold its breath, and it is going to go to the vicinity to investigate under the banner of making a mission.

Where have they been?

It is 10 miles from the camp gate.

Who saw them first?

Scout Ranger. They felt that the messenger should not be allowed to come, so they deliberately detained him and hurried over to report it.

Shen Tianzi heard that the scout had stopped the envoy 10 miles away, and he was very satisfied with the aura that Chen Song gave to the flying cavalry. The envoy sent by the Qin army should be a battle-hardened general, and the connoisseur knows that the water is deep and shallow at a glance, and if the parents drive them to the camp gate before being stopped, it can only prove that the Jin army is too small, and the guard post does not have to be so far.

These 10 miles of land are too precious.

Immediately called Chen Song and asked him to send a capable lord to bring some people to interrogate the envoy first, deliberately delaying the time, and then slowly coming back, so that there would be time in the camp to appear on the stage.

The owner of the building sent to greet the envoy of the Qin State was Mung Dou. He selected 100 tall knights, with helmets and helmets, each holding a flag. The messenger was surrounded by this cloud of banners and men and horses, and the leading knight deliberately held down his horse's steps, and advanced slowly like a snail. In the middle, the mung bean also stopped twice, saying that he had eaten a bad stomach at the banquet of the three armies last night, and he wanted to find a place to relieve himself, so he asked the envoy Haihan.

As soon as the envoy entered the camp gate, a Jin soldier came and said that he must dismount to enter the camp. When he dismounted, he found himself had to pass through a path of soldiers and flags, all of whom were tall and large, with shields in one hand and flags in the other, like a wall of men, blocking the scenery on both sides.

Entering the main general's tent, he met Shen Tianzi, who introduced him to the five military masters present. Of course, he didn't know that except for Shen himself and Fu Hong, the other three were all team leaders. The messenger secretly thought: There are 5 military masters, and the total strength should not exceed 60,000, and the so-called 100,000 should be an imaginary number. But 60,000 is not a small number.

After sitting down, the envoy said that the Qin and Jin countries had no enmity, and I don't know why your army was hanging thousands of miles and killing itself, and wanted to be our enemy?

Shen Tianzi said that you are entrenched in our former capital Chang'an, how dare you say that you have no enmity with us?

Our ancestor inherited Chang'an from Fu Jian, and it had been a long time since you gave up Chang'an.

Fu Jian stole Chang'an, offended the will of heaven, and finally defeated in the water, you fish in troubled waters, rats steal dogs and steal, do not know your will, do not want to naturalize the Great Jin, but pretend to be the emperor, continue to trample on Guanzhong, now the Beifu soldiers are on the Northern Expedition, you are about to lose the country, and you are also to blame.

I am afraid that it is too early to say that the country will die.

On Chang'an Road, there is no strong city; Raise your eyes to the government and the opposition, good generals are rare, isn't this the eve of the death of the country?

Although your army won Tongguan, it stopped moving, and the soldiers were tired and lacked food. The general himself can't pass the martial arts pass. Your army seems to be thriving, but in fact it is full of dangers, rather than wasting the lives of soldiers, it is better to know how to retire.

When Shen Tianzi heard this, he no longer sat upright, but leaned back, his hands behind his back, and one foot on the desk:

This is not bothering Mr. Lao! To tell you the truth, I don't need to waste my soldiers' lives at all. I just need to bring the army under the Wuguan Pass and block your way to the south. The army of Taiwei has trapped Chang'an, and the capital of your country will not last for a few days. When my army turns around and will attack the Wuguan, what I have to do is to tighten the mesh and catch the prisoners. At that time, I will still have a great contribution to cut off the enemy's retreat.

The "military masters" in the tent burst out laughing.

The messenger's face turned pale. After thinking about it, I went straight to the point:

"Although I don't dare to call myself a good general, I also know a little about military aircraft. Your army is advancing north this time, and the whole army is only about 100,000 people, and you want to concentrate the main force to capture Chang'an, how can there be 100,000 people led by the general? I'm afraid it's a bluff! ”

Shen Tianzi's face once again showed that cynical ** smile:

"If I sue you, I only have 5,000 people, do you believe me?"

The messenger said in his heart that you are too insulting to my experience, and only 5,000 people dare to attack far away, unless you are leading all divine soldiers.

Shen Tianzi sat up straight and stared at the envoy:

"You go back and tell the boss of your family, if there is a kind, come out and fight with me, and decide the victory or defeat in a dignified manner; If you are frightened, you will honestly go deep and high, waiting for me to attack the city, and you will not be like a thief who climbs the wall and drills holes, and goes to someone's house first. How many people do I have, I don't have a reason to tell you, you just need to remember one sentence: I am a soldier in the northern Jin Dynasty, and I am like a needle, piercing my throat; Many are like axes, breaking your back. After all, you are a dead end! ”

These words, like a military formation, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the messenger.

Shen Tianzi glanced around the tent and said that we still have important matters to discuss, and it is inconvenient to accompany us, so please ask the envoy to go back after eating by himself.

Several soldiers led the messenger and walked a long way to a tent to eat. On the way, he saw several phalanxes in drills, some practicing the opening of crossbows, and some forming long lance arrays, and the envoy noticed that the colors of the uniforms of these phalanxes were different. On the way, the cavalry passed through, and the messenger stood on the side of the road and waited for a long time, and after a rough calculation, the cavalry was no less than 3,000 people. The envoy made a secret calculation according to the military strength system of the Southern Dynasties, and felt that the infantry would not be less than 50,000 in any case.

He absentmindedly entered the tent and found that the food and wine had been arranged, so he ate alone, but served eight hot and cold dishes. I couldn't help but ask the soldiers, how can they be so extravagant when they are marching in the wilderness. The soldier said that it was already saved. Our 5 military masters are difficult to serve, and they have different tastes. To save them a few hundred dishes, we prepare dozens of dishes for each meal. Today, Mr. eats alone, and there is only so much, please Mr. will be settled.

When the messenger had finished eating, he lied that he wanted to be relieved. The soldiers took him there, just past the barracks of the Firehead Army along the way. The messenger found that the ground was full of pits, and he could not count them. In a row of more than 30 large tents, the screams of chopping vegetables and killing pigs were deafening.

When I arrived at the thatched pit, I found that the thatched pit was also like the stars in the sky, innumerable; The stench is thick and hard to resist.

He took his leave with a heavy heart, and as he walked past the tent, he found no less than 100 men tied up and kneeling on the ground, all with their heads bowed, and at the back stood a column of soldiers armed with large axes. I couldn't help it, but I still asked the soldiers around me and said what happened to these people. The soldier hesitated for a moment, saying that these were the people of the two scout teams, and they should have found Mr. 50 and 30 miles away, but one of them was drinking in another camp, and the other team was camping in two ravines to sleep, and they did not go out to patrol at all, but Mr. was stopped when he walked 10 miles away from the camp, and General Shen was furious and decided to behead them all.

The messenger shuddered.

The size of the scout's activity radius is a good indication of the number of troops. There are scouts 50 miles away, and this is by no means an arrangement of 10,000 or 20,000 people. "Another camp" should not be a lie. Moreover, hundreds of people were killed at the first move, which also shows that there is no shortage of troops at hand.

A hundred steps out of the camp gate, he heard the sound of a trumpet, a faint click, and then a cry and a pleading.

Get one’s dander up.

In the early morning two days later, when Chen Song and the flying cavalry came to Wuguan City, there was no movement on the city wall.

The gates of the city were also open.

He did not dare to act rashly, and after lingering outside the door for an hour, he chose a small group of cavalry to rush into the door. He had made up his mind that if he could test the reality of the enemy, it would be worth it for these brothers to die.

He waited for the gates to close suddenly, for the shouts of killing.

None of these.

After a while, all the brothers came back.

There was not a single shadow of a Qin soldier in the city.

When Chen Song led the flying cavalry through the market, the common people gradually gathered on the side of the road, at first they just watched quietly, then whispered, and then laughed loudly, and when the flying cavalry reached the center of the city, there were already local elders with people holding wine plates, and the car pulled pigs and sheep tied with four hooves to greet them.

Soon, when the cavalry could no longer walk, they surrounded them, hung red silk around their necks, stuffed eggs and dates in their hands, and persuaded the soldiers to take a sip with wine bowls.

Someone started beating gongs and drums.

The sound of firecrackers rang out.

When Shen Tianzi led the rest of the more than 3,000 people into the customs, all he heard was:

Long live the Great Jin Dynasty!

Long live the Emperor!

Enter Chang'an and capture Yao Hong alive!

Kill all the Qiang dogs and recover China!

The iron-beaten Wuguan was ripe like this, and smashed on the head of the expeditionary division, making them fall into a blissful dizziness. And what rimulated this iron lump into a melon was not a bloody battle, but a trick.

Everyone was smiling!

Everyone is celebrating!

Everyone is joking with the envoys of the Qin State!

This brother should be rewarded heavily!

As soon as the Wuguan was opened, all that remained was to go all the way to Tongguan and join the main force of the Taiwei.

At least at this moment when everyone is eating pot pulp, no one would think:

They kicked the door open, but the house didn't collapse.

They are ushering in a huge pocket.
