Chapter 74: A Big Game of Chess (Below) (Ask for a Few Recommendation Votes)
ps: I've been squeezed off the recommendation list, I'm more depressed, ask everyone for a few recommendation votes, and everyone will go back to the home page! At the northern foot of Mount Tai, five thousand Chu troops are resting in a dense forest in a deep valley.
Although this valley is remote, it is only less than 100 miles away from Linzi City.
Although it was broad daylight now, after ten consecutive days of high-intensity night marching, most of the officers and men of the Chu army were exhausted, and they had all fallen asleep.
Xiang Zhuang, Wei Yu, and Wu Shi were completely sleepy, and the three of them were getting together to discuss the plan of a surprise attack on Linzi.
After more than 500 years of operation, the scale of the city of Linzi has been extremely large, and the city fortifications are also extremely strong, coupled with the large population of Qi and the abundance of strong men, although Han Xin took away more than 300,000 troops, the troops who stayed in Linzi must not be less.
Wei Yu once went to Linzi when he was young, and this will explain to Xiang Zhuang and Wu She: "General, Linzi is divided into large and small cities, the circumference of the big city is more than 30 miles, the circumference of the small city is more than 20 miles, the wall is five zhang high, and there is water and water flowing from the east and west sides, and the north and south sides are digging ditches to think that the moat, and the strong attack is afraid that there is no chance of victory!" ”
Wu Shi thought for a while, and suddenly proposed: "Can you send a few hundred sharp soldiers to quietly enter the city from the drainage channel, and then open the city gate at night to receive the army into the city?" ”
Xiang Zhuang's expression was lifted when he heard this, but where Xiongcheng Dayi, there must be hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, so many residents' water and drainage is a big deal, so there are basically huge water supply and drainage projects, so that this water supply and drainage system has become a secret passage connecting the city inside and outside the city.
"No, no." Wei Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The old man once carefully surveyed the drainage channel mouth of Linzi, its east and west are about twenty zhang long, the north and south are about four zhang wide, and the depth is about two zhang, all of which are made of boulders, the water mouth is divided into three layers, each layer has five square water holes, the stones in the hole are staggered, and the water comes out of it and people are not allowed to pass, it is not possible at all!" ”
Xiang Zhuang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Linzi's drainage system is so tightly repaired?!" ”
Wei Yu sighed and said helplessly: "The general doesn't know that the water supply and drainage system in Linzi was specially conceived by the famous skilled craftsman Gongcheng Ban three hundred years ago. "Xiang Zhuang was awe-inspiring when he heard this, isn't the public loss class the craftsman master Lu Ban? It seems that it is really impossible to enter Linzi City through the sewers.
Wu Shi said again: "Then you can only send Rui Shiqiao to make up woodcutters and hunters to sneak into the city." ”
"That's not right." Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Linzi is not like Aocang, there are a large number of hungry people outside Aocang City, and it happens that Chen Feng likes to raise soldiers, so it is easy for fifty dead soldiers to enter the camp first, but there are no tens of thousands of hungry people outside Linzi City to cover, and there are hundreds of strong men who want to enter the city, can it not arouse the suspicion of the defenders?" ”
"Then go to the city in phases and batches." Wu Shi said again, "Then assemble and seize the city gate at night!" ”
"Entering the city in phases and batches is more likely to cause accidents!" Xiang Zhuang shook his head again and again when he heard this, it is true that the Chu army is unstoppable, and it is true that he is not afraid of death, but the military discipline is also extremely bad, if these big-headed soldiers enter Linzi City and no one restrains them, it will be strange if they don't make trouble, but once there is chaos, then everything will be played!
"Then it can't be helped." Wu Shi spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Is there any other way?" ”
When the three of them were at a loss, Gongsun suddenly strode over and made a report: "General, the scout reciprocates, there is a group of Hu people from outside the mountain pass in front, there are more than 500 good horses but only about 50 people, our army is just short of horses, did you send troops to kill this group of Hu people, and then take away this batch of good horses?" ”
"And this?" Xiang Zhuang Huo Ran got up and said in a deep voice, "Let Jing Qian, Gao Chu take five hundred people and take the horse away!" ”
"No!" Gongsun suddenly agreed and took the order, but Wei Yu's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly said, "General, the old man has a plan to enter the city!" ”
When Xiang Zhuang plotted to attack Linzi, Liu Bang's army had already advanced along the chasm to Daliang.
Accompanied by Liu Bang's army, there were also the armies of Han Xin, Yingbu, Zhang Er, Wu Rui and other princes, all the princes were actually unwilling to come, but there was no way, Liu Bang had already received Han Xin's support, if anyone jumped out to oppose it at this time, then Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Peng Yue, the three strongest princes, would be offended, this is not a joke.
At this time, Daliang City has been completely destroyed in the war, the buildings in the city have been burned, the original residents were either killed or took refuge and fled, Liu Kou's three thousand tiger and wolf soldiers are definitely real beasts, they don't care that Daliang was the capital of Wei State, and now it is Peng Yue's territory.
Liu Bang climbed the head of the city under the swarm of Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiahou Ying and more than 100 personal soldiers, stood on the head of the city and looked into the city, only to see that there were broken walls all around, Liu Kou's army had crossed the border for two days, and many houses were still smoking from the outside, and the whole city had changed beyond recognition.
"This Liu Kou!" Xiahou Ying was angry from the heart, and said hatefully, "It's too unusual!" ”
Liu Bang's face also showed a deep sorrow, and he said in a low voice: "The Liang army should rectify and rectify military discipline." ”
Behind Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the reason why Peng Yue's army was corrupted, and the reason why Liu Kou's three thousand tiger and wolf soldiers became so ferocious and murderous, Liu Bang can be said to be the initiator, if Liu Bang hadn't instigated Peng Yue to divide his troops to attack Chu, and Qiao Jiao's Chu army went to Chu to burn and kill, and plunder, there would not be today's murderous Liang army!
"King, it's not time to rectify military discipline." Zhang Liang sighed lightly and persuaded Liu Bangdao, "In order to pacify Liang Di as soon as possible and destroy the remnants of the Chu army, the king and the king of Liang still need to borrow this tiger and wolf army!" ”
"Yes, my lord, the rectification of the army is small, and the pacification of Liangdi is big." Chen Ping also said.
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping both said very tactfully, but Liu Bang's enlightenment of the scoundrel in the market is indeed very high, and he immediately heard the meaning of the two of them, the current Liang army is still Peng Yue's army, how can you Liu Bang rectify military discipline for him? If you really want to rectify the military discipline of the Liang army, you have to wait until after the Chu army is destroyed!
"Well, don't be in a hurry to rectify military discipline first." Liu Bang is as good as a stream, even if he changed his words.
After that, Liu Bang said to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping again: "Ofan, Chen Ping, are you strange, this way to the north, they have already reached Daliang, Liu Kou's three thousand tiger and wolf soldiers have already arrived in Xingyang City, but they still don't see the main force of the Chu army, are they all hiding in Aocang City?" Or, ran away? ”
Chen Ping nodded, and also said, "The minister is also deeply sleepy. ”
Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "The king, the minister has a very bad premonition. ”
"Oh, bad premonition?" Liu Bang frowned and said, "Then you are"
Zhang Liang nodded and said leisurely: "Just now, Chen suddenly remembered the scene of playing against Fan Zeng back then. ”
Liu Bang, Chen Ping and Xiahou Ying listened attentively, Zhang Liang was also completely immersed in the memory of the past, and then said: "Back then, Chen and Fan Zeng stayed awake for three days and three nights, playing five games in a row, and the minister lost four games in a row, only taking the fifth game, and five days later, the minister played the sixth game with Fan Zeng, which was really a rare big chess, and the minister still remembers it vividly!" ”
Chen Ping couldn't help but be fascinated, and he could imagine that in that game of chess, there must have been a thrilling battle between Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng, but unfortunately, he never watched the battle from the list.
Zhang Liang continued: "In this sixth game, Fan Zeng's fall is like flying, and the position is also extremely simple, but after falling on the chessboard, it immediately formed a suffocating thick momentum, just playing more than ten hands, the minister seems to feel that there is an invisible mountain is crushing over, the minister tried his best to build momentum, but he still couldn't parry, and finally lost in the one hundred and seven hands!" ”
Chen Pingden exclaimed in surprise and said in disbelief: "Only one hundred and seven hands, Brother Zifang will lose in the middle of the game?!" ”
"This Fan Zeng is very good at using soldiers, and he is so powerful if he doesn't want to play chess." Liu Bang took a breath and said with palpitations, "But fortunately, he is dead." ”
After saying this, Liu Bang's face suddenly changed again: "Ofan, you mean that the game of Liangdi is also a big game of chess?!" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Liang nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Just now, the minister suddenly had the feeling of playing against Fan Zeng, as if an invisible mountain was crushing towards the minister, the minister clearly knew Fan Zeng's chess move, but he just couldn't think of a way to crack it, that kind of powerlessness, that kind of panic, the minister is still unforgettable!"
Liu Bang gasped and shouted, "Could it be that Fan Zeng's old man is really not dead?!" ”
Zhang Liang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "King, Fan Zeng must be dead, what I'm worried about is Wei Yi." ”
"Lieutenant?!" Chen Ping lost his voice and said, "Brother Zifang, this seems unlikely, right?" Didn't you say that Wei Yu had already defected to Xiang Zhuang? Xiang Zhuang is now trapped in Dabie Mountain, how could Wei Yi come to Liangdi? ”
"yes, ovary." Liu Bang also said, "How could Wei Yi come to Liangdi?" ”
Zhang Liang nodded, and said abruptly: "This is also the place where the minister is puzzled, most of the Wei Yi is trapped in the Dabie Mountain, how can it appear in Liangdi?" After saying this, Zhang Liang said, "Take a step back, even if Wei Yu came to Liangdi alone, he doesn't have an army in his hands, how can he make such a big noise?" ”
Liu Bang and Chen Ping looked at each other, there is really a mystery in this world that Zhang Liang can't see? !
