Chapter 32 Embarrassed to set up an ambush
The news of Shi Pei's defeat in Anyang came out, and Dingyang County was facing another reshuffle.
In the past two days, Hua Quan has been in a very bad mood, and he has been besieging Dingyang for a while, no matter how he scolds, the Dingyang Righteous Army just doesn't fight, just waits for rescue, and waits for the Anyang Righteous Army to come in a few days, then he should be surrounded by himself.
Hua Quan overturned the table several times for this, and his anger was overflowing, and he angrily scolded the lieutenant next to him, "Bastard, it's been a few days, why can't you force the Dingyang Righteous Army." ”
The lieutenant was also helpless, in the face of Hua Quan's anger, he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, the official was crushed to death, who let someone else be a general, but he was a lieutenant. I saw the lieutenant say, "General, we tried our best, the Dingyang Righteous Army is inexhaustible, we scolded and scolded, beat and beaten, and even his water source was cut off, but they just didn't go out of the city to fight." ”
Hua Quan naturally knows that this matter is not to blame these captains, the rebels are not afraid of your scolding, if you want to scold, just scold, he will wait for reinforcements with peace of mind, what can you do. It's just that he needs to vent, he wants to make meritorious service so much, he doesn't give up and says, "Waste, it's all waste, I just received a tip-off that Shi Pei was defeated in Anyang, and even he himself was captured alive." Now the Anyang Rebels are coming to the rescue, I will give you a one-day deadline, if you can't force the Dingyang Rebels, you will give me a head to see"
This unlucky lieutenant had to agree hesitantly, "This, this, yes, general, I will lead the troops to call for battle." ”
The unlucky lieutenant left, Hua Quan's mood was not good, and he complained and said to Liu Da, "It's all your bad idea, if we only surround and don't fight, it's not more comfortable, and now we call the battle repeatedly, then the Dingyang army just can't hold out, and now the army is pointing fingers, saying that I have done useless work, and I have lost my face, how should this be good" Hua Quan sighed and sat on the chair, and kicked out the scattered things in front of him.
Liu Da can't help it at the moment, the rebels just can't hold out, and he can't help it, sitting in the corner thinking about what to do. Suddenly, he had an idea and said to Hua Quan, "Brother Hua, there is, I have a way"
Hua Quan heard Liu Da say that there was a way, so he hurriedly looked at Liu Da and said, "Brother Liu, what clever plan have you come up with?" ”
Liu Da looked at Hua Quan's anxious appearance, which was quite funny, but he showed a bad smile to himself, and said, "Brother Hua, let's withdraw!" ”
Hua Quan heard Liu Da say withdraw, and his face darkened again, "This is your method?" General Chu Dingde ordered me to hold off the Dingyang Army, and you told me to withdraw? ”
Liu Da looked at Hua Quan's black face, but said with a smile, "We are retreating on the surface, and behind our backs, we ambush Anyang and Dingyang Righteous Army"
Hua Quan's eyes lit up, "Ambush? How to ambush, you come quickly"
Liu Da is eyes shone with essence, and said to Hua Quan, "You see that the Anyang army defeated Shi Pei, and it must be on the way to Dingyang County at this moment." The purpose of his coming to Dingyang County was to relieve the siege of Dingyang. Think about it after rescuing the siege of Dingyang. It must be to relieve the siege of Xuecheng, as long as Xuecheng is not broken for a day, then Anyang and Dingyang will not stop rescuing. ”
Hua Quan listened to Liu Da say this, nodded incessantly, but said, "I know what you said, but what does this have to do with our retreat and ambush, is it that we are ambushed not far from Dingyang City, and it has to be exposed to the vision of the coalition forces." After speaking, Hua Quan shook his hand and disagreed.
I saw a fierce light flashing in the corner of Liu Da's eyes, and said in a sinister manner, "We can ambush them on the road between Dingyang and Xuecheng, and when they fall into an ambush, we can wipe them out."
Hua Quan became interested, "Then where are we ambushing?" ”
Liu Da said proudly, "Since I was ambushed by the Anyang army last time, I bought off the enemy generals and saved my life." I originally planned to go back to General Chu Dingde, but I knew that General Chu Dingde could not spare me, so I wandered from side to side, and there was a small road on the way to Xuecheng, where there were mountains on both sides and the road was narrow. We can lay an ambush on that hill, and we will definitely take the coalition forces in one fell swoop."
Hua Quan heard that there was such a good place to ambush, and he clapped his hands happily, but he didn't be happy for long, so he became worried." So what if they don't take any path?"
Liu Daha laughed, "If they want to solve Xuecheng, they must take a detour, so the marching distance will be shortened, if they take the big road, then Xuecheng will be defeated and the city will be broken."
Hua Quan put his mind at ease, and simply said, "According to your words, we will withdraw our troops immediately!" Hahaha, they never dreamed that we would ambush them on the road to Xue Cheng."
The plan was decided, and Hua Quan ordered his subordinates to withdraw their troops and ambush them on the way to Xuecheng.
In the county guard mansion of Dingyang County, a spy was reporting to the three adults, "Three adults, Hua Quan has withdrawn his troops."
Anyang got out of trouble, and Huaquan's withdrawal of troops was something that could have been foreseen for a long time, but he didn't expect to withdraw his troops so soon, and he just got the news that he withdrew his troops. Liu Bowen asked the spy, "In which direction did you see him retreating?" ”
The spy replied, "Lord Hui, the spies I sent followed all the way and found that Hua Quan's soldiers and horses were rushing to Xuecheng. ”
Liu Bowen waved his hand, "Okay, you go down"
Now that Anyang and Dingyang have solved the crisis, everyone is not happy, and the safety of Xue Cheng is very important, so they have to be worried.
Liu Bowen sighed and said, "I don't know if Xue Cheng can survive this crisis, we have been surrounded for so long and delayed a lot of time, and I don't know if Lu Dao can come to the rescue."
Everyone listened to Liu Bowen say this, how could they not feel uncomfortable, if Xue Cheng was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable, even if Xue Cheng was really lost, it would be nothing, I was afraid that Xue Cheng's soldiers would be annihilated. In that case, the strength of their rebel army will really be reduced a lot.
Liu Bowen has no choice, and now he can only obey the fate of heaven. saw Zhuge Liang pointing on the map, so he asked, "Zhuge Liang, what are you looking at?" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't speak, he was still watching, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was shouted three times by Liu Bowen. Then he called everyone closer, pointed to the map, and said, "Look here, there is a small road here, if my army shuttles through this path, the time to reach Xue City can be reduced by at least three days."
Everyone is overjoyed, and what they are most afraid of now is that it will be too late. Liu Bowen looked at it and immediately made up his mind to take this path. However, he frowned again, "The spies have reported that the Anyang Rebels are already on their way to our Dingyang at the moment, so can we wait for the Anyang Rebels?"
This problem is also of concern to everyone, if you wait for the Anyang Righteous Army, it will naturally delay time, if you don't wait for the Anyang Righteous Army, then they Dingyang Righteous Army is insufficient, and when the time comes, Chu Dingde will turn his horse's head and face the attack, so what's the good.
In the end, everyone still finalized, waited while walking, and tried to meet the two armies before reaching Xuecheng.
