Chapter 687: Seeking to Capture the Second County

Zhuge Liang's words made Wang Xu listen to it, but didn't understand it!

He is not a person who hides and pinchs, and immediately carries forward the excellent character of not being ashamed to ask, and opens his mouth and says: "Kong Ming, what do you mean by what you said?" ”

"Do you remember the burning of Alin?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"Remember!" Wang Xu nodded.

"At that time, the defeated army fled four times, and two or three thousand of them fled to the east, to Cangwu and the South China Sea, but a small number of them fled south!"

"You mean, the little group of defeated soldiers who opened the gates? You recruited them? Wang Xu's face was full of incredulity.

"Then how is it possible, if the troops return, how can they still obey orders?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled all over his face. "The minister is just letting the soldiers pretend to be deserters! After Xue Zong was attached to him, most of his troops were his die-hard people, so the ministers consulted with him and selected three hundred people who were particularly clever, they were originally Jiaozhou soldiers, and there was no difference between them and pretending to be at all, so this 300-person sergeant pretended to be the defeated soldiers of the Battle of Alin, mixed with the real defeated soldiers, and soon entered Jiaozhi. ”

"Then how did you ensure that this soldier obeyed orders absolutely? Aren't you afraid that one of them will leak her secrets, or regret it? Even if those people are loyal to Xue Zong, with the prestige of the Shi family in Jiaozhou, and the methods of Shi Diao and Shi Yi, no one can guarantee that no one will be influenced at all! Wang Xuqi said.

"It's easy!" Zhuge Liang smiled and explained: "First, these three hundred soldiers are extremely loyal to Xue Zong, and Xue Zong made a lot of advice before leaving. ”

"Second, they are promised great profits, whether they live or die. will give them wealth and honor that they will not be able to get in their lifetime. This further constrains them. ”

"Third. Show their authority, if they betray, then their families in Yulin County will be implicated and wipe out the three clans! ”

"Fourth, the people selected are all confirmed by Xue Zong, and they have close relatives in Yulin!"

"Fifth. If any one of them leaks, then the six members of his entire squad will also be wiped out by the three tribes, which can make them further bound and supervise each other. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's tone paused slightly, and he smiled: "That's it." They speak of loyalty, righteousness, affection, and profit, wherever they are. are all shackled, all the qiē that life desires in the world are all controlled in the hands of the ministers, even if the scholars and scholars only have the ability to reach the heavens, no matter how they are influenced, they will never be able to shake them, let alone take the initiative to confess! ”

"Amazing, amazing, Kong Ming really has nothing to miss!" Wang Xu was amazed on the spot.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "In fact, what is really difficult is how these three hundred sergeants can gain the trust of the two soldiers, use them for them, and even guard the city gate!" ”

Wang Xu exclaimed: "Because the soldiers and the people love the soldiers and the people, and are deeply supported and loved by the soldiers and the people, they are weak in their defense of their subordinates!" ”

"That's exactly the case, so the advantages of the ministers can often be used, but it just depends on what angle to start!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the advantage of the two of them that the most difficult level, so they passed, they accepted the defeated army, and gently appeased, when the three hundred soldiers expressed that they would swear to fight for it, they would naturally lose their defense!" ”

"And how do you guarantee that they will have a chance to guard the gates?" Wang Xu asked again.

"What's so difficult about this, just need the minister to explain a few words to the captain in the lead, and let him follow the minister's words to admonish him, show his superior ability to defend the city, and even reveal that he is quite proficient in the method of guarding the city gate, and the scholars and scholars will naturally use them." Zhuge Liang was calm.

"Good precise layout, Kong Ming, this is a countermeasure you thought of long before you set out to conquer Jiaozhou?" Wang Xu was incredulous.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "The minister personally inquired about all the information in Jiaozhou, and after analyzing it, he prepared three strategies. One of them is like this now, in which forcing Xue Taishou to surrender is the key, since this plan is successful, it will naturally be implemented so far, and there are two strategies, and there is no need to implement them now, don't talk about it! ”

"Hahaha...... I have Kong Ming, why worry about the uncertain world! Wang Xu laughed loudly.

But before the laughter fell, the east gate of the dragon weaving was already wide open, and the defeated soldiers fled scattered from inside.

His eyes froze, and then he raised the fire dragon spear high: "Eight hundred people in the front will follow me to encircle and suppress the defeated army in Jiaozhou, and two hundred people in the rear will protect the safety of the army general!" Kill! ”

After not going into battle in person for a long time, Wang Xu's fighting spirit today is particularly high, and the fire dragon spear is like lightning and thunder.

In the whirring scream, only a fiery red lightning bolt could be seen!

Some soldiers have never seen him shoot, but when they see him at this time, they are all stunned, that kind of power is comparable to Dian Wei, rampage, no one can stop him!

The most important thing is that compared with Dian Wei's ghostly appearance, Wang Xu's posture is more elegant, and between one move, there is a rain of blood, but there is a kind of desolate beauty!

Whether it is a colonel or a small soldier, no one can stand in his way.

This battle was not like a battle, but more like a massacre, and no one in the Jiaozhou army could resist the impact of the iron cavalry, like wheat, which was harvested in patches.

The two brothers, Shixiao and Shiyi, wanted to break through, but were stopped by Xu Sheng in Xicheng.

The two were so beloved by the soldiers that no one surrendered throughout the battle.

But the battlefield is ruthless, and if you don't surrender, you can only kill!

Wang Xu lost the desire to fight after killing, he is not a person who is easy to kill, and he is really not very good at this kind of one-sided battle.

When the sergeant and the sergeant saw that the soldiers under their command were in a desperate situation, they would rather die than surrender, and burst into tears.

In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to shout surrender, kneeling on the ground and begging not to continue the slaughter.

At this point, the battle finally ended in the bitter weeping and roaring of the two brothers, and the defenders of Longbian City suffered countless casualties, and only more than 2,000 people were left standing, and in the roar of the soldiers and scholars, they threw away their weapons in grief and surrendered on their knees.

After Wang Xu ordered them all to be imprisoned, he was about to look for Kong Ming, but his people came in a hurry. He said urgently: "My lord." Find the general's order. Find the general! ”

"What will order?" Wang Xu didn't react for a while.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "The token that Jiaozhou Assassin Shixie gave to his son, so that he has full authority over the token in the rear of the town!" ”

"Oh!" Wang Xu then remembered what he had just found from Shi Diao's body, and then took it out. "You mean that? What did you do with what you found on the Shidian? ”

"Lord, Hepu County, Cangwu County!" Zhuge Liang only lightly said two place names.

In an instant, Wang Xu's face changed sharply: "I actually forgot such a great opportunity, let's go, go to find that group of Jiaozhou sergeants." Let them send a few people over to bring out the opposing team's troops! Are you sure that Shixiao is authorized to unify the hinterland of Jiaozhou? ”

"Sure!" Zhuge Liang said anxiously.

The two did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly went to find Xue Zong's Jiaozhou sergeant.

After opening the city gate and letting the iron horse enter the city, this army withdrew outside the city as soon as possible to avoid casualties, because in the next battle, they no longer need to fight desperately.

Wang Xu found them and quickly ordered the leading captain.

"With this general order, you will quickly run to the Hepu County Mansion, saying that the Chu State Iron Horse is not suitable for water and soil. The soldiers fell ill and lost the siege. Defeated and returned to Yulin, Zhuge Liang was also sick and couldn't speak! Shi Diao and Shi Yi led the army to pursue, but the troops were insufficient, and it was difficult to attack the iron cavalry of the Chu State, so that the thousands of defenders of the Hepu County Mansion were all sent to intercept them, and took advantage of this great victory to recapture Yulin together. ”

"After the Hepu soldiers and horses are deployed, you will continue to go north to Cangwu, order the defenders of Cangwu County to attack Yulin, advance steadily, and tell them to be sure to contain the soldiers and horses of Yulin County, so that they cannot go south to rescue the iron cavalry of Chu State, and wait for the opportunity to recapture Yulin together after the defeat of Chu State's iron cavalry."

The lieutenant was quite shrewd and understood, and soon left with dozens of brothers.

Since then, the whole plan has been under control, and Wang Xu then sent soldiers to rush to Yulin, so that Yang Huai, Liu Yun, He Yi and other generals will lead the troops to attack, and be sure to drag the soldiers and horses of Cangwu County.

As for him, he left Xu Sheng to lead 2,000 sharpshooters and 3,000 guards and iron cavalry to stay in the Jiaozhi County Mansion to guard the prisoners.

The rest of the soldiers and horses, all of whom went north the next day, prepared to fight against the soldiers and horses who were about to come to Hepu to "intercept".

At noon the next day, Wang Xu led the army to set off and rushed to Hepu.

Jiaozhi County Government Longbian then fell into full control, but it did not prevent the people from moving around the city, nor did it prohibit daily work and rest, but the eyes of those people who looked at the soldiers of the Chu State were extremely unkind, obviously with inexplicable hostility.

Not long after the army left, on the west street in the dragon weaving city, there was an elegant scribe, followed by two or three domestic servants.

He has a thick mustache and a long beard on his chin, which he gently combs from time to time while walking.

"Won Yulin and Jiaozhi unexpectedly so quickly, then Zhuge Kongming is very powerful! It's Wang Zuo's talent! ”

With his whisper, one of the servants behind him quickened his pace slightly, approached him and said, "What should we do now, if Wang Xu quickly occupies the hinterland of Jiaozhou, then Jiangdong will not wave a large army again!" ”

"yes!" The scribe sighed lightly: "No one can predict that Zhuge Kongming will be so powerful, at the moment, only by trying to help Jiangdong and let them carve up the meat of Jiaozhou, only if he eats it, he will be reluctant to spit it out again, and it will definitely set off a bigger war!" ”

"Is there any other way now?" The servant asked, puzzled.

"Yes! Wang Xu led his troops to leave so quickly, and he didn't even rest for a day, I'm afraid it was profitable, and the current situation made it impossible for him to plot only the two counties of Hepu and Cangwu, but it was difficult to attack, and he must have something else to rely on. ”

As he spoke, the scribe pondered for a while before he continued: "As far as I know, after Shixie sent out his troops, he handed over the power of the rear town to his son, and granted the general order, and now that the dragon city is broken, the general order will inevitably fall into the hands of Wang Xu, but the two armies of Hepu and Cangwu must not know, if as expected, they must have sent someone to hold the general's order, falsely report the military situation, and intend to defraud Hepu and Cangwu two counties." ”

"Then we have to try to inform the Second County Guard?" The servant asked.

"Hepu is too late, the messenger must have set off last night, the fast horse is galloping, we can't catch up, we can only rush to Cangwu directly, and grab ahead of them to keep Cangwu County from losing! Prepare the horses, we must rush to Cangwu as fast as possible! The scribe's eyes twinkled, and he said with great certainty.

"No!" The servant went as commanded.

The scribe quickly regained his composure, and if anyone who knew him was here, he would be shocked, because he was Cao Cao's important minister, Liu Ye! (To be continued......)
