Surprise

Just a few days before the war on the Rim Horse Heights became white-hot, an army of 8,000 men secretly crossed the Weishui, this army was light, not heavily armoured, but with excellent swords and extremely swift movements! The number of troops is less than 10,000, and almost no one knows that they have crossed the river and sneaked for dozens of miles, and what is even more amazing is that their boss turned out to be Liu Zhiyuan!

Their operation was top secret, and Liu Zhiyuan did not tell anyone about it in advance, even the deputy general Wang Jun of this operation did not know, but only selected elite troops to operate according to Liu Zhiyuan's orders, and did not know that this operation was not trivial until he crossed the river. All the generals thought: "It seems that Liu Shuai is going to sneak attack Guo Weizhi's back." ”

When Wang Jun crossed the river, he secretly persuaded Liu Zhiyuan: "Liu Shuai, you are responsible for the westward expedition, and you should be in the center of the army. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "You don't understand! You can't do that! ”

Wang Jun knew that behind Guo Wei's car formation was Fengxiang Mansion, and there were sentry posts on the north bank of Weishui on the boundary of Fengxiang Mansion - he had also prepared for the Shu army and the Jin army to bypass the southern sneak attack, so Wang Jun thought that it was not a good strategy to cross the river and sneak attack.

However, Liu Zhiyuan did not cross the river in the south of Fengxiang Mansion to sneak attack, but continued to travel at night, after crossing the Weishui, he crossed the valley, and returned to the place where the Shu army was deployed in two nights and one day, and then informed the Shu army.

Meng Chang was taken aback when he heard the news, shocked and suspicious, and asked Wang Hui: "Liu Zhiyuan is Shi Jingjiao's right-hand man, he should be holding Guo Wei on the north bank of Weishui right now, why did he suddenly appear here silently?" What does that mean? He...... It's not going to attack me, is it? ”

Wang Chu sighed slightly, and said, "According to the situation, it won't be!" Shi Jingjiao's biggest enemy now is Zhang Mai, not us. ”

Meng Chang said: "That's true, but now that the Khitan has gained the upper hand, if they are already sure of defeating the enemy, but Shi Jingjiao has made Jiān plot and take advantage of the chaos to hold me hostage, then he can come to Bian Zhuang to stab the tiger and get rid of Zhang Mai and I in one fell swoop!" ”

Wang Chuhui is a civil servant, familiar with history books, and also knows that there are many similar tricks in history, and said: "Your Majesty should have this worry, in short, we should be cautious." This is where my army is gathered, and as long as we deal with it carefully, it is expected that nothing will go wrong. The person who came is a guest, and they are allies with each other, Liu Zhiyuan is an unusual general in the Shi Jin army, we should still see him. ”

Meng Chang is the emperor who grew up in the palace greenhouse, although he has also practiced martial arts and read military books, but when it comes to the battle, he always can't help but have stage fright. ”

The king replied: "He is an important minister, and he should not be taken lightly, and he will be greeted by the minister himself." ”

Meng Chang said: "Okay, you can go." ”

Liu Zhiyuan's army was ten miles outside the camp of the Mengshu army, and he led a hundred guards to knock on the camp, although there were only 100 people, there were thousands of people! The Shu army was originally weaker than the Jin army, and Wang Chuhui was a little frightened when he saw it outside the gate, and personally welcomed him into the camp.

Liu Zhiyuan entered with armor and walked all the way, but saw that the main tent of the Shu army was made of yak skin, and the outside was covered with silk, so that he was noble and brilliant. The four corners of the main tent protrude out of four small tents, these four small tents are very small, no more than five feet high, no more than four feet in diameter, if people enter, stand up to the top of the tent, lie down and can't stretch out their hands and feet, inevitably a little strange, thinking that the Shu people since Zhuge Liang, invented the wooden ox and horse crossbow, ingenuity is better than other places, this is only afraid of a new military invention, so he asked the king to reply: "In the north of the country, the military system is more known, but this main tent layout does not know what the reason, what is the use?" ”

Wang Chuhui didn't answer, but a eunuch who was waiting at the door of the tent smiled, and between the corners of his eyebrows, Liu Zhiyuan was a hillbilly who had never seen the world, and said with a smile: "That's a warm tent." He walked over and lifted a corner of the small tent, and there were indeed eight charcoal stoves inside.

Liu Zhiyuan said casually: "Isn't it enough to put the stove in the tent?" Why bother with these four little tents? ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "The stove is placed in the tent, and the smell is not good, and these four attached small tents are set up, and the heating can be borrowed into the big tent, but the smell will not go in, isn't it the best of both worlds?" Such a subtle setting, if it weren't for my lord's genius, others would not have thought of it. ”

When Liu Zhiyuan heard that these settings turned out to be Meng Chang's invention, his brows couldn't help frowning, and Wang Chu hurriedly said: "My lord has been waiting for a long time, General Liu, please come in." ”

The main tent is so big, it is like a palace that can be moved, and the ground is made of high-quality Byzantine carpet - this carpet can cover the entire floor of the main tent, and it can be seen that as for the fine selection of materials and the ingenuity of weaving, it is needless to say, that is, it is placed in Byzantium and is the world's first-class luxury, which has been transported all the way to the Central Plains, and the price has risen tenfold. In addition to the carpet, the rest of the main tent is also very exquisite, the lamp must be glass, the pillar is made of pear wood, and the ornament is also more gold and jade, at this time the army is on an expedition outside, and in the north wind howling, and a huge main tent is still kept spotless, it is expected to cost a lot of manpower for this.

There was also a hallway in the doorway, in which four palace maids and four eunuchs served, and the king had already taken off his boots and replaced them with a pair of soft and clean cotton loafers.

Those palace maids and eunuchs saw that Liu Zhiyuan's pair of cowhide boots were all sludge, so they wanted to take off his shoes and change shoes for him, Liu Zhiyuan's eyebrows wrinkled again, and he was not angry and arrogant, and the palace maids and eunuchs were frightened and took two steps back. Liu Zhiyuan stepped on it in these boots full of mud, and stepped on the priceless and spotless Byzantine carpet transported from Taixi, step by step, and those palace maids and eunuchs covered their mouths and squinted when they saw it.

Liu Zhiyuan walked into the tent, this big tent is divided into two parts, the front is the hall, which is the place where Meng Chang meets the civil and military, and the back is the room, which is the place where Meng Chang rests. But seeing that the civil and military forces on both sides had already prepared wine and food, Liu Zhiyuan raised his eyes and looked, but saw that there was still a bead curtain between the main seat and the outside, and there were faint people sitting inside.

Wang Chu stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, General Liu Zhiyuan of the Great Jin Dynasty asks to see you." ”

There are only two palace maids holding jade forks to open the bead curtain, a carved few sons in the bead curtain, a sandalwood hu chuáng, and a young king sitting on it, wearing a spacious dragon robe, with a gentle and elegant appearance, elegant and graceful gestures, such a rich and gentle atmosphere, the two generals who accompanied Liu Zhiyuan into the house were dumbfounded.

Liu Zhiyuan said in his heart: "Is he here to lead troops to fight, or is he here to hunt and travel?" But he couldn't say it directly, he just bowed. The founding of Meng Shu came from Meng Zhixiang, Meng Zhixiang was originally just a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, and his status was similar to today's Liu Zhiyuan, and later he seized Bashu and established himself as the emperor.

Meng Chang saw Liu Zhiyuan enter with his armor and press the sword, and secretly couldn't help but be a little frightened, seeing that he didn't change his shoes, and trampled on his proud carpet to filth, he was frightened and a little disgusted, and saw that he didn't kneel down, but only performed the courtesy of the guest and host, and his heart was even more dissatisfied.

After the two sides sat down, Meng Chang asked Liu Zhiyuan about his intentions, and Liu Zhiyuan said: "The last general came this time to ask His Majesty to send elite soldiers, and the last general to force Weishui and attack Qinzhou together!" Capture Zhang Mai together! ”

When these few words came out, not only Meng Chang was startled, Wang was dumbfounded, and even the two generals brought by Liu Zhiyuan were secretly shocked.

After a while, Meng Chang reacted and said, "What did General Liu say?" Forcibly crossing the Weishui? Attacking Qinzhou together? ”

"Yes!"

Meng Chang said: "General Liu, do you know how many soldiers and horses Zhang Mai has in Qinzhou?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "According to the report of the spies, in addition to the Modao Battle Axe Formation arranged in the north, the unknown whereabouts of the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment, and the Guo Wei troops who are holding our army in Fengxiang Mansion, Zhang Mai's other men and horses, including the left and right Longxiang Iron Armored Army, are all waiting in Qinzhou, and even Murong Chunhua's Eagle Yang Army may also be near Qinzhou. ”

Meng Chang said: "It turns out that this intelligence general knows." In this way, Zhang Mai's army near Qinzhou did not have 100,000, but 80,000. This is not counting the surrendered armies of the states of western Qin. If even the armies of the states of western Qin are counted, I am afraid that there will be no 200,000 troops near Qinzhou. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "It is impossible to have an army of 200,000!" ”

Meng Chang said: "Even if there are no 200,000, there will always be hundreds of thousands." General Liu is going to attack Qinzhou, but he doesn't know how many men and horses he brought this time? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Eight thousand." ”

Meng Chang couldn't help but laugh, the palace maid and eunuch next to him saw it, and they all covered their mouths to laugh, Meng Chang smiled: "Use 8,000 people to sneak attack an army of more than 100,000, General Liu, aren't you doing this a moth to a fire?" ”

Wang Chuhui also shook his head and said: "General Liu is a famous general in the north and is well-known, but this time, he ...... It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! ”

"Not ridiculous!" Liu Zhiyuan said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Mai's action this time looks vigorous on the outside, but there is something unnatural about it!" I expect that the layout of Qinxi will inevitably be deceitful! ”

Wang Chu replied, "What is the deception?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Zhang Mai resisted the Khitan with a Modao battle axe formation, which was already shaky, and Guo Wei's chariot formation resisted our army, and he was defeated and retreated. And these two troops should not be abandoned lightly by Zhang Mai, as for Liangzhou being attacked and Lanzhou being attacked, that is where Zhang Mai is fundamental, but Zhang Mai has not sent strong reinforcements, but only to a strong wall. And as His Majesty said, if Zhang Mai really has a strong army in Qinzhou, Lianglan Xi Guo shouldn't be so struggling everywhere! Zhang Mai's layout, no matter how you look at it, looks like stalling for time. ”

Wang Chu replied, "What is he delaying for now? ”

"I don't know." Liu Zhiyuan said: "It is possible that Zhang Mai wants to drag one of the parties tired, and then wait for work, defeat one of them, and break them all." But there may be other tricks. But all in all, I thought there was a fifty percent chance that Qinzhou was empty! If we can break through with elite troops, we only need 30,000 or 40,000 horses to cross the water, and we may be able to succeed in a battle! ”

Wang Chu was slightly moved, but Meng Chang shook his head and said: "Although I have never fought a war, I have also read the art of war, and I know that the attacking side must use more troops than the defending side to succeed. Zhang Mai has Weishui to defend and Qinzhou city to defend, even if he is really empty, the army that surrendered in western Qin has 10,000 troops. No matter how empty Zhang Mai is, there are always 10,000 or 20,000 people under him. That adds up to at least 100,000 troops. We use an army of 30,000 or 40,000 to attack an army of 100,000, how can we have a chance of winning! ”

"Qinxi army, don't say 10,000, even if it's 100,000, it's not to be afraid!" Liu Zhiyuan said: "These are all troops with grass on the wall, they can only be used as decorations, and when there is a wind and grass, they will collapse when they touch it!" The one who can really fight is Zhang Mai with those personal soldiers around him. If our army suddenly comes to the city, he will panic, and the troops of western Qin will inevitably look forward to the wind and fall, at that time, Guo Wei's car formation and Xi Shengmo's knife will also be terrified, the Khitan will be pressed down from the north, and my Great Jin Heavenly Division will come from the east, and the Tiance army will collapse on the whole line! This is a once-in-a-lifetime miracle, under the first war, the northwest will be peaceful! Please also make a decision immediately! ”

When Meng Chang heard this, he just shook his head, and Wang Chu replied: "General Liu, although there is some truth in what you said, there is no evidence. According to the spies' report, the states of western Qinxi have Tiance military horses patrolling back and forth to restrain the surrendered military horses of western Qin, if Zhang Mai's men are only a small number of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to suppress the states of western Qin. Whether the military horses of the Tiance army from Lianglan to Qinxi were 100,000 or 50,000, it is difficult for us to know exactly, but in short, there were more than 10,000 or 20,000. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Although Zhang Mai brought a lot of people from Lianglan, it may just be a militia pretending to be elite soldiers, what Longxiang Army, what Eagle Yang Army, it may just be a militia camp, planting a banner and pretending to be a hypocrisy." There must not be many real elites! ”

Wang Chu replied: "Is there evidence for General Liu to say this, or is it just speculation? ”

"This ......" Liu Zhiyuan said: "Although there is no full evidence, it is reasonable to infer that it must be so!" ”

Wang Chu replied: "If the facts are true as the general's inference, it is indeed possible for our army to succeed in the battle of crossing the water, but what if the general's guess is wrong? Wouldn't that trap my Bashu disciples in the fire pit? ”

Liu Zhiyuan sent troops this time, but he asked for secrecy and speed, not only to hide the enemy, but even his own people to hide, he is a brave general in the north, so when the inspiration burst out to capture the opportunity to win, he dared to take risks, you want to say how much he is sure, how much accurate evidence, in fact, no, on the contrary, this decision actually has many hidden worries, many troubles, but that lightning light in the brain, suddenly there is a decision!

Although Liu Zhi is far from knowing that he has crossed Wei in such a short period of time, he is bound to leave many flaws, but deep down he has a judgment that is not entirely reasonable: as long as Zhang Mai is killed, the victory will be decided!

In this judgment, Zhang Mai's life and death are the key, and everything else is branches and leaves. Even if you lose a local battlefield, even if you lose 100,000 generals, even if the rear is temporarily in chaos, you can't change the victory!

Liu Zhiyuan wants to gamble on this key! He thinks that it is definitely worth betting on the possible victory of the key with the possibility of defeat, but King Meng Chang doesn't think so, and the two of them talk about it, and they are all entangled in the "branches" that Liu Zhiyuan thinks, which makes Liu Zhiyuan a little angry.

He suppressed the fire and said: "In this battle of crossing Wei, the forward will be the last general, and the Shu army only needs to be used as a backup." If there is danger, our army deserves it, and if I have great benefits, His Majesty will collect it. ”

You must know that the number of Shi Jin's army is also very large, but it is not difficult to divide 350,000 people to the original by Guo Wei, but the key to this battle is the words "speed" and "hidden", and it is difficult for an ordinary army of 350,000 to travel 100 miles on the Weinan Plain and cross the river twice without being detected, and once it is detected by Guo Wei, the other party will naturally have a way to deal with it, so Liu Zhiyuan needs the support of the Shu army, which is limited by military geography.

But Wang Chu listened to Liu Zhiyuan's words and thought: "You do difficult things, and we will take the benefits?" Is there such a cheap thing in the world? "The depth of the gap between Jin and Shu was originally above Tang and Shu, and the reason why Meng Chang joined forces with Jin to attack Tang this time was completely led by Zhang Mai Feng Taisheng, as for Jin and Shu, there is actually not much trust between Jin and Shu, on the contrary, there is a consensus among the Shu elite: whether it is Tiance Tang Army or Shi Jin, whoever destroys the other party will definitely annex Shu next!

Therefore, for Shu, the best policy is, of course, Tiance and Shi Jin both lose, and the Shu army takes the opportunity to collect Guanzhong and clamp Longyou, which is also Meng Chang's idea, of course, to do this, it may not be big, and the second best thing is to pursue Tiance and Shi Jin to maintain a balance. As for the Tang, Jin, and Khitan all victories, they are all unwilling to see by the Shu people.

At this time, no matter what Liu Zhiyuan said, Wang Chuhui just shook his head, Liu Zhiyuan was annoyed, and said in his heart: "This matter originally didn't require me to be so dangerous, attacking Tiance on the southern front was what your Shu army should do, if you can send fifty or sixty thousand horses to attack Weihe and tǐng into Qinzhou with all your might, Zhang Mai's reality will be tried out at once, so why should we speculate here?" Now that I am bringing troops here, I am here to do what you should do, who knows that it is still so pushing, I knew that this is the case, it is better not to ask you for help, but there is a lot less restraint! ”

Thinking of the annoyance, he slammed the table and said hatefully: "My lord made a mistake and made an alliance with his son!" ”

Meng Chang's face changed greatly: "Liu ...... What did you say! ”

Liu Zhiyuan realized that he couldn't turn his face with Meng Chang at this time, and he knew that he was speechless, so he saluted and said: "The last general Beidespise Wufu, and he is talking nonsense for a while, please forgive your majesty." ”

Meng Chang snorted, and Wang Chuhui didn't want to turn his face with Shi Jin because of this, so he made a peace and said: "All in all, now is not a good opportunity to send troops, but if General Liu really plans to attack Qinzhou by surprise, our army can also take advantage of it and cheer for the general in Weinan." But I have to say that I know with General Liu: the Tang army is on the north bank with five steps and one post at ten steps, and it is unlikely that they want to attack Qinzhou. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "If this is the case, then I will go to explore first, but if Qinzhou is empty, I will raise a fire on the north bank, and at that time, I will ask His Majesty to raise troops to respond!" In addition, it is necessary to ask your army for a number of ships. ”

Wang Chu replied: "The ship is good to say, if Qinzhou really has an opportunity, our army will naturally not let it go." ”

The two sides broke up unhappily, Meng Chang was angry, pointed to the direction where Liu Zhi was far away, and said: "This puppet also looks down on me like Zhang Mai!" Wang Taifu, if you hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to cut off his head and send it back to Shi Jingjiao! ”

Wang Chu replied: "Your Majesty is angry, Liu Zhiyuan is certainly a capital crime, but the two countries are allies, and they must not kill their allies and generals." ”

Meng Chang snorted, and after a while, his anger calmed down a little, and then he said again: "Liu Pifu said that Qinzhou is empty, and Zhang Mai's subordinates are actually short of troops, what do you think?" ”

Wang Chu replied: "Listening to Liu Zhiyuan's analysis, there is actually some truth, but the art of war is cloudy: the real is virtual, and the virtual is real." Zhang Mai is the best at playing tricks with fiction and reality, maybe he is deliberately showing weakness like this, and it is unknown if we want to jump into his trap. ”

At this time, it is extremely important for the commander to judge the intelligence, and sometimes the same kind of intelligence can also make two completely different countermeasures.

Meng Chang also felt that Liu Zhiyuan's plan was too risky, and said, "Since he said that Qinzhou is empty, let him try it first." We have arranged the army behind, if Liu Zhiyuan wins, we will cross the river with drums, if Liu Zhiyuan loses, then 8,000 Shi Jingjiao will be killed, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation of the war. ”

Wang replied: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

――――――――――――

Liu Zhiyuan returned to the garrison, and then summoned the generals to explain his true intentions, Wang Jun said: "Directly attack Zhang Mai, this matter is too dangerous!" Besides, we only have 8,000 people, although we are elite, after all, there are too few, and we have no equipment to attack the city, so it is better to know Your Majesty first, and ask for reinforcements before coming. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "The opportunity to win is fleeting, I didn't ask for my life, just for the word speed!" Not to mention the transfer of troops from Chang'an, even if it is directly ordered from my command, if there are many people, Guo Wei will be aware of it, and once the opportunity is defeated, the other party will have a countermeasure! Eight thousand people attacking the city is too little, but as long as Zhang Mai's bluff is broken, the strategy of the north, east and south will be adjusted at that time, and this battle is imperative! Once I have crossed the Wei, there is no reason to retreat! Why, you are not even afraid of the heart of the Khitan in the north of Jin, but are you afraid of Zhang Mai at this time? ”

The generals were Liu Zhiyuan, and they all said in unison: "The big husband is on the battlefield, how can he be afraid!" But listen to Liu Shuai! ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay!" This time, we don't seek a complete victory, or even a full body retreat, we only need a victory, so that the Shu people know that Qinzhou is empty, and Meng Chang will definitely come to pick it up when he sees that there is a bargain, and then our goal will be achieved! ”

――――――――――

In the northeast of Fengxiang Mansion, a cavalry also took advantage of the twilight to pass through. This army only has 5,000 people, all of them are light cavalry, but it is one of the most elite cavalry units of the Tiance Tang Army! The leader is Yang Xin, the king of guns!

This cavalry was one of the important bargaining chips that Guo Wei relied on to fight against Liu Zhiyuan, but at this time, he stopped and made a detour from the north, and the deputy general Tian Han caught up and said: "General, Liu Zhiyuan has a tight layout, even after nightfall, we are afraid that we will not be able to approach his main camp silently." ”

"Then prepare to burn all the way through after nightfall!" Yang Xin said: "We have been on the defensive for too long, and this night attack is to catch them off guard and make a counterattack!" Our army is coming and going, as long as we retreat before Liu Zhiyuan's army is combined! But if the enemy has a chance, then we will step on it all the way! ”

Tian Han said: "Actually, it won't be too risky to do this." ”

Yang Xin said: "Governor Guo was under Liu Zhiyuan, and his judgment of Liu Zhiyuan should be correct. He thinks that Liu Zhiyuan must have other plans in the past two days, but he can't figure out what he wants to do for a while, our battle is to disrupt the chess game, even if Liu Zhiyuan can't be caught, at least we have to disrupt his position and try out his true intentions! ”
