Chapter Ninety-One: Stratagem

Yan Guo, Wu Yang.

Wuyang City is named because it is located in the south of the Wu River, it is an important town of Yan country, and the Yan people call it "Xiadu", and "Shangdu" is Jicheng.

Its city is 20 miles long from east to west, 15 miles wide from north to south, west by Taihang Mountain, east of Hebei Plain. The terrain is very steep, condescending to control Qi and Zhao, which is an important barrier in Yannan.

In the original plan of the Three Jin Dynasty, it was to take Zhongren City as the base of advance, first break Yang City, then go down to Fenmen and Sanqiu, cross Yishui and Bathing Water, and arrive at Jicheng, where they will fight a decisive battle with the Yan army.

But in the Korean army, a lieutenant named Li Mu made a more constructive suggestion. That is to set up banners all over the Zhongren City, send an army into the city during the day, and quietly leave the city at night. This repetition creates the illusion that the army has not yet been assembled, and directs all the attention of the Yan army to Zhongren City. The army secretly went north to Daijun, marched east along Yishui, first conquered Wuyang, and then went directly north to Jicheng.

Lian Po, Jin Contempt, and Violent Kite agreed after hearing this. If this strategy is adopted, the obstacle to the Sanjin coalition will be relatively small, but the premise is that the Yan army will really be fooled. For the sake of insurance, Li Mu voluntarily led his army to stay in Zhongren City and lure the enemy. Therefore, don't look at the Zhongren City now with many banners, in fact, there are only 3,000 feather forest troops.

The coalition's strategy took effect, and so far, Yan has stationed its large army in the south, preparing to block the coalition army from moving north. The main force of the Three Jin Coalition took advantage of this to sneak all the way, and now it is only ten miles away from Wuyang.

"General Tyrant, General Jin, I heard that there is a golden platform set up by King Yan Zhao in the city. I don't know if the two of you are interested in watching with me? Lian Po's whip pointed directly at Wuyang City, and said with a hearty smile.

"I am willing to obey your will." Jin said disdainfully.

"Dare to disobey!" The storm kite is also a way back.

At the beginning, King Yan Zhao was thirsty for talent, and his daughter bought horse bones, set up a golden platform, and Su Qin, Le Yi and others came to vote like a carp crossing the river, how spectacular. However, it was only prosperous for one lifetime, and as soon as King Hui succeeded to the throne, Yan Guo even made a faint move, and decades of hard work were ruined.

Lian Po raised his hand, the army resumed, and tens of thousands of horsemen went straight to Wuyang.

The defenders of Wuyang were defenseless, and no one expected that the Sanjin coalition army, which was still in Zhongren City a few days ago, would kill Wuyang at once. But after all, Wuyang is the "lower capital" of Yan State, and the garrisons are all Yan State Xiaorui, so after losing thousands of men and horses in the initial panic, they began to methodically start to close the four gates of defense.

Wuyang has 40,000 defenders, so Wuyang is too disciplined and thinks that if he defends the city, it should be no big problem. The envoy sent to Jicheng for help set out at the first time, but was also hunted and killed by the scouts of Zhao State at the first time. Yes, hunt and kill. The scouts of Zhao State took the head of the Wuyang envoy and rode around the city to show off. Zhao Jun's behavior made Yan Jun both frightened and angry, but Ji Heng forcefully suppressed the request of his lieutenant to ask for battle.

Outside, there were 100,000 Zhao iron cavalry, as well as 80,000 chariots, infantry, and crossbowmen from Han and Wei. Ji Heng would not be fooled so lightly, Zhao Jun just wanted to provoke himself and lure him out of the city to fight with him. I won't let the coalition get my way!

Lian Po looked at the tall Wuyang City, a little at a loss. I have long heard that Wuyang is a strong city, and I thought it was just a vain name, but when I really arrived at the foot of Wuyang City, I would find that this was a strong city that was not inferior to Handan.

If casualties are not counted, a storming is the easiest; If time is not taken into account, a long siege is optimal. But now Sanjin must be in a hurry and take Wuyang in order to concentrate on attacking Jicheng. Once the time drags on for a long time, Yan Guo will be on guard. Moreover, no one knows how fiercely the Qin State reacted to the Three Jin Dynasty and the Yan Society. Therefore, the sooner you defeat the Yan Kingdom, the better!

"Two, Wuyang is too guarded to refuse to come out, what can you do?" Lian Po asked with a frown.

Jin Contempt also had a headache, and said: "Why don't we divide our troops into two ways, I will stay with General Tyrant, how about General Lian lead the army north?" ”

Jin contempt said a way that is not a way, at present, the three Jin have an army of nearly 180,000, and it is feasible to divide the troops. But the Zhao army is a cavalry, and Jicheng must also be heavily guarded. When the sneak attack fails, it will be necessary to attack, and the strong attack will have to count on the infantry of the Han and Wei armies. Especially South Korea's siege crossbows and ramming vehicles, which are a big killer.

Storm Kite shook his head, whether it was Han and Wei besieging Wuyang, Zhao attacking Jicheng, or the three armies being mixed, or dividing troops to attack Wuyang and Jicheng, there were some taboos in the division of troops. You must know that Yan Guo can also gather its 300,000 mobile troops. The Yan Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, and the Yan army can inadvertently complete the encirclement of one of them.

"Anyway, Wuyang is only 40,000 soldiers and horses, so it's better for us to let Wuyang go directly and go straight to Jicheng." Jin Contempt put forward a new view.

At this time, Chang Lianpo shook his head, if Wuyang is spared, Wuyang can send envoys to the south to gather soldiers and horses from Dingdui, Fenmen, Sanqiu, Gecheng and other places, and there will be as many as seventy or eighty thousand in total, which is enough to outflank the back of the coalition army.

"Generals, can you allow the last general to say a few words?" A young general spoke.

The storm kite looked at the person who spoke, and said with a smile: "This is my army general. Meng Fu, haven't seen two generals yet? ”

Before setting out for the expedition, the prince asked Meng Fu to be the deputy general of the violent kite, and at the same time stuffed the Yulin army in, saying that it was for them to see blood and exercise.

The names of these two people have been heard by Prince Ran many times, and Prince Ran praised them as twin stars among the young generals of the Korean army, and if they are cultivated a little, they will be famous all over the world. The violent kite has already seen Li Mu's talent, but I don't know if this time Meng Fu will bring him a surprise!

"Meng Fu has seen Xin Pingjun and General Jin." Meng Fu said hello without humility or arrogance.

Lian Po nodded and smiled, which was a return gift. Jin Contempt was a lot more polite, and said, "Listening to the tone of what you just said, it seems that there is a good plan?" ”

Jin is about thirty years old, and it is the time to be full of pride. Just now, I was vetoed for two consecutive mentions, and I was a little annoyed. Meng Fu jumped out at the right time, wanting to "express himself". It's strange that Jin can have a good face.

Meng Fu didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say the good strategy, the last general just said his thoughts, and he should throw bricks and lead the way." The Yan army did not dare to fight, it was just because they were afraid that we would be outnumbered. Our army was reluctant to attack Wuyang, only because it was worried about heavy casualties. In the end, the general thinks that it is better to go and come back. If the main force of our army leaves, only a few troops remain to encircle Wuyang, and the Yan army will inevitably go out of the city to attack. When its main force leaves the city, our army will cover up and kill, and it will be a great victory. ”

"This plan is not easy to say, the Yan army must ensure that the main force of our army retreats before going out of the city to attack. There are two problems, one is how to hide the traces of the army, and the other is the problem of the troops left behind, the number is too small, and too much. I think it can't exceed 20,000 at most, otherwise according to the caution of the Yan army, most of them will not leave the city. If these 20,000 troops want to hold down 30,000 or even 40,000 troops, what are the chances of winning?! Jin disdainfully analyzed.

Storm Kite and Lian Po also nodded yes, the plan is a good plan, but it is too difficult to implement.

"That's where you need to be counting. The last general thought that it was better to do this, and set up camp on the bank of Yishui, and set up a banner in the camp to strengthen its momentum. Secretly, let the 160,000-strong army pass through Yishui and quietly go north, and then detour to the south of Wuyang City. The south of Wuyang City should be the blind spot of the Yan army, after all, ordinary people would not have thought that a large army would emerge in the large security area behind them. ”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, and that's a viable option. But how to let the Yan army know that the army is going north? Lian Po asked.

"The last general heard that Sun Bin had used the method of reducing the stove to confuse Pang Juan, and we can also learn and use it now. Our army is not out of the camp, and the Yan army must be surprised. The general must know that the smoke emitted from the cooking of 20,000 people is much less than that of 180,000 people, and the careful people in the Yan army will definitely find this phenomenon. When they found out the truth, they must think that our army left 20,000 soldiers and horses to mislead them, and the actual main force has already gone north to Jicheng. Annoyed and angry, do you think they will attack us? As long as we hold the fortress and the general leads the army to take the back road, this battle will be successful. Meng Fu said confidently.

"What a plan!" Lian Po, Jin Contempt, and Violent Kite sighed in unison.

Meng Fu takes the changes in people's hearts into account to the extreme, and if he is himself, he will be tricked if he is a little careless. Wuyang City doesn't have any famous generals, and the probability of success of this plan is quite high.

"In that case, let's discuss who will stay in the camp!" Lian Po said.

Meng Fu and Storm Kite glanced at each other, and Storm Kite continued: "Then it's up to us in South Korea!" We are good at defense, and we will definitely give Yan Jun a good 'hospitality'. ”
