Chapter 24 Bright vegetables and dark meat cover people's eyes
The war is like this, since Li An has already set the strategy of dividing the troops, then the time is rushed, and the three-way army is going on at the same time, rushing to the front line as quickly as possible.
General Shi Pei has been in the army for many years, and it is natural for him to command 10,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, he had rushed to the fifty miles outside the city of Anyang County, which was a natural forest, about a hundred miles in radius. The army is hidden here, and it must be difficult for the enemy to find out, so it is convenient to set up camp here. General Shi Pei was not as anxious for quick success as Liu Da, he clearly knew his mission, that is, to drag the Anyang Righteous Army so that it could not be rescued. Naturally, he needed to plan well.
In the barracks, Shi Pei was having a meeting with his subordinates, and he saw Shi Pei commanding calmly: "Jiang Hong, you can lead your troops and horses to camp as much as you can, and you must give the enemy the illusion that we are numerous." ”
"Back to General Shipei, the military funds we carry are only enough to build 2,000 tents." Jiang Hong said.
Shi Pei couldn't help frowning when he heard Jiang Hong say that there were only enough tents for 2,000 tents, and then said, "When you set up camp, you can be loose on the inside and compact on the outside, so that there are 5,000 tents from the outside."
"Yes, I'll do it," Jiang Hong retreated.
After Jiang Hong left, Shi Pei ordered again, "Zhao Li, you quickly pick five hundred soldiers, and tomorrow when our army goes to attack the city, you order these five hundred soldiers to beat drums and cheer behind our army." ”
"Command!" Zhao Li immediately went to make arrangements.
Shi Pei then instructed, "Wu Kun, you also choose five hundred soldiers for me, in fact, three hundred should be the strongest, so that they will drink happily tonight, and everyone must drink guilty." The other 200 soldiers will each ride their horses tomorrow and run about in the woods, and the tails of their horses must be tied with straw ropes. ”
"General, here, we are already less than fifty miles away from Anyang County, how can we still let the soldiers drink." Wu Kun really didn't understand, they were already outside Anyang City, and the two sides would start a war at any time, how could they still let them drink, wouldn't it be a mistake.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll let you go, you can go, the rest of the people wait, give me a good rest. Tomorrow I will go with me, and I will be informed that if an enemy spy comes tonight, pretend not to see it.
"Yes!" "Yes!"
It was already late at night, and the spies of Anyang County had already returned to the city and reported to Liu Bangyu, "** My lord, the enemy army is now camped in the woods fifty miles outside the city. ”
Liu Bang hurriedly asked, "How many people came?" ”
The spy replied, "My lord, the night is too dark, and I can't see it too clearly, but there are at least more than 5,000 tents, and I faintly hear people singing."
"More than 5,000 hiss," Liu Bang almost didn't stand firm after hearing this. "You go down first, change people and continue to star, and report as soon as there is a situation"
As soon as the spy went down, Liu Bang sat on the chair, "Guo Jia, this Chu Dingde actually led the whole army to attack my Anyang, this horseman, he wants to fight with me."
Guo Jia didn't expect that Chu Dingde could press Anyang County with the whole army, "**Don't worry, my Anyang County has thick walls and strong morale, it's no problem to hold this Anyang County, as long as you wait until Xue Cheng and Dingyang come to the rescue, you can fight with my tripartite team, we have Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, Dian Ran's generation, Wen Youzhuge, Huang Xiu, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen and others, I'm afraid that he won't succeed, if Wudingcheng leads the troops to come, then he Chu Dingde will definitely be defeated"
When Liu Bang heard Guo Jia say this, he didn't have to worry about it, "Since this Chu Dingde is looking for death, then we will fulfill him, I will immediately repair a few letters, and order Dingyang and Xue Cheng to come to the rescue." ”
Guo Jia was also a little puzzled, "Our Dingyang victory, at this moment, the soldiers are full of food, he Chu Dingde is leading the army to attack at this time, it is inevitable that if I feel a little strange."
"Strange? How so? Liu Bang asked.
"Don't you think Chu Dingde is too rash to attack our Anyang County? We now have more than 10,000 horses in Anyang County, and we are invincible in frontal combat, but we can still defend this Anyang County for three or five months, so when we stay in Dingyang, Xue Cheng comes to the rescue, aren't they without any advantage" Guo Jia analyzed.
Liu Bang thought for a while, "Yes, Chu Dingde is so brainless, so Li An won't be so brainless, what's the problem?" Liu Bang paced back and forth and thought, suddenly raised his head to look at Guo Jia, and said, "Do you think they will also have reinforcements." Waiting to catch us all? ”
Guo Jia also thought repeatedly, "It's possible, it's impossible, if there are really reinforcements, why don't you wait for the reinforcements to come and attack the city together, and the imperial court has sent 100,000 troops, the consumption is huge, his treasury is empty, can he supply reinforcements so quickly?" But if this is not the case, how can it be explained? ”
Liu Bang spread his hands: "Don't think about it for the time being, hurry up and go to sleep, Huang Xiu and they have already fallen asleep, and we will see what is going on tomorrow." ”
The next day, Liu Bang woke up in his sleep, and the soldiers guarding the gate came to report that Chu Dingde's army was about to come to the city, Liu Bang got up quickly, and after dressing, Guo Jia, Huang Xiu and others had already gotten up and were waiting for him, Liu Bang said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look together"
As soon as Liu Bang and the others stepped on the city wall, they saw that there was a black pressure under the city wall, and it was full of enemy soldiers. I saw that the city had a wave of one hand, and it was quiet in an instant, but the man said: "Is Liu Bang above the city tower?" ”
Liu Bang saw that he was quite imposing, and after asking himself, he naturally needed to answer, "I am Liu Bang, who are you?" ”
The people under the city, Ben Ha Ha Da laughed, "It turns out that you are Liu Bang, I thought that the gods were so heroic, it turned out to be just a scoundrel" After speaking, the soldiers behind him laughed.
"Liu Bang Xiao'er, I am Chu Dingde, the general of the Shen Dynasty, you thief calls himself a god, and he is a god, and now I am ordered by the court to come to get you, I advise you to take a stubborn resistance, and disregard the lives of others" After Shi Pei finished speaking, he made the people behind him shout, beating drums and cheering, and the momentum shook the sky!
Liu Bang didn't laugh angrily, "Who am I, it turned out to be just a court eagle dog, and now I am standing on top of this city tower, and I can see you playing tricks, like a mad dog barking." I will stand on top of the Chang'an City Tower on the other day, and I will see if you can still laugh. ”
Shi Pei is also quite a city person, so he said, "Liu Bang, don't you really want to be the enemy of the world?" ”
Liu Bang was full of disdain, "I, the world, in vain, the Son of Heaven has no way, I advise you to recognize the status quo as soon as possible, so as not to increase your sins." ”
Shi Pei said again: "Liu Bang Xiao'er, I don't have a tongue with you, you look at the 100,000 army behind me, you Anyang County, I regard it as grass mustard, and the person who breaks the city with my army is the time when you Liu Bang dies!" ”
Liu Bang looked up, the horses under the city were neat, the soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner, and he faintly saw the figures in the woods in the distance flipping and beating drums. It's just that he didn't lose his momentum because of this, but said, "I think you, the soldier of the court, are also doing the most difficult struggle, and you will one day be wiped out by my righteous army." Today, you surround me Anyang, how do you expect that my Anyang City is high and thick, and what can you do to me. You are only 100,000 troops, ha, now there are only 90,000 left, how can you break through the wall of my people. Although the imperial city is strong, the people's hearts can be broken"
Liu Bang's words attracted bursts of applause, and I saw three or two soldiers under the city fall to the ground one after another!
Feng Jin hurriedly asked, "Then, what's wrong with those soldiers?"
Everyone looked at it, and Huang Xiu said: "Drunk"
Feng Jin was furious, "** My lord, Chu Dingde treats me like nothing like nothing, please give me a team of soldiers and horses, I swear to behead this dog!" ”
Huang Xiu hurriedly stopped: "No, he ordered the soldiers to drink, first, he wanted to humiliate us, and secondly, to lead us out of the city, not to fall into his trap, he dared to make the soldiers hungover, he must have no fear." ”
Seeing this, Liu Bang had to hold his stomach, he was so relaxed, he drank and had a hangover before the battle, but he couldn't rush out of the battle, so he forced a smile on his face, "Chu Dingde, you are like this to lead the troops, hahaha, you are drunk and become a plague chicken"
Shi Pei had already predicted that Liu Bang would say this, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "Liu Bang, I will give you three days, if you don't surrender within three days, I will attack the city" and said, "Someone will pull these people down for me and cut them down, withdraw!" ”
Shi Pei withdrew his troops and smiled contentedly.
