Chapter 514: A Strange Battle Situation
Hanzhong and Wuling were in a hurry one after another, Jingzhou soldiers were frequently dispatched, and even the people of Xiangyang had heard of it, but no one was worried, and everyone talked about it, all of them thought that the general's mansion would inevitably be able to defeat the enemy and quell the rebellion, and some people even said that this was to send war merits to the general's mansion.
It's a pity that they don't know that Wang Xu is already anxious at this moment!
Zhao Yunchi came to Hanzhong's aid, and he was not optimistic!
Originally, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and other Yizhou generals were not afraid. Zhao Yun led the Qinglong knights, and after converging with the 10,000 elite foot soldiers who stayed in the Hanzhong County Government, they sent troops to resist each other in the area of Dingjun Mountain, and won two battles in a row, and the Yizhou sergeants were afraid of Zhao Yun, and Wu Lan and Lei Tong were extremely jealous of him, so the situation was quickly charged.
But in just a few days, the shape shì was suddenly reversed, and the actions of the Yizhou sergeant became elusive, and they no longer fought head-to-head, forcing Zhao Yun, who did not have an advantage in troops, to be cautious.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun was vigilant at the time, and only brought a few elite fronts to pursue, and when he found that something was wrong, he decisively broke through bravely.
Zhou Zhi in the back also reacted quickly, and then led the department to respond, which saved a catastrophe.
The enemy's actions before and after were judged to be like two armies, Zhao Yun and the other generals were surprised, did not dare to act recklessly, and dealt with it carefully.
Subsequently, after many investigations, coupled with the help of the spy here, it took a lot of effort and sacrifice a lot of secret spies, only to learn by luck that it was not from the strategy of Wu Lan and Lei Tong, but from a small logistics officer accompanying him.
Earlier, this person took the initiative to admonish many times, but Lei Tong and Wu Lan did not accept it, and they lost two battles in a row.
Then the two of them suddenly realized. The outcome of the battle was all expected by the little official. That's why I humbly ask for advice. Thus turning the tide of the battle. Its magical reputation also quickly spread among the soldiers, allowing Jingzhou to find out.
When this person's name was reported to Xiangyang, Wang Xu's face was full of bitterness on the spot, and he was speechless for a long time.
The secret report was neatly written with the man's simple information: "Fa Zheng, self-filial piety, it is rumored that he is a native of Fufeng County, and because of the chaos of the division, he went south to Yizhou." Serving in Yizhou Assassin Shifu Bing Cao, as a small official, this time happened to be a logistics staff with the army, and the rest of the information has not yet been explored! ”
This Fa Zheng is not an ordinary person, outstanding talent, in history is the minister of Shu Han, good at scheming, able to govern the government, marching and fighting, and making suggestions are not ambiguous, and is regarded as Liu Bei's right-hand man, Zhuge Liang also appreciates and respects it very much. Whenever you encounter difficulties, you always consult them. Shi Zai is known as Liu Bei's mastermind.
It's a pity that this person died early, and in the second year of Liu Bei's reign as King of Hanzhong, he died of illness!
After his death, Liu Bei cried bitterly for a few days, although Liu Bei himself loved to cry, but he cried for several days, which shows that he was really sad, and then posthumously became the Wing Marquis, and he was also the only subordinate of Shu Han who had a nickname during Liu Bei's reign.
Later, Guan Yu died, Liu Bei raised troops to attack Wu for snow hatred, and even Zhuge Liang did not listen to his advice, and led Lu Xun to burn the company camp, and most of the main force of Shu Han was destroyed. At that time, Zhuge Liang sighed: If the law is filial piety, it can stop the lord from crusading eastward; Even if you go east, with filial piety on your side, you will not be in danger.
If the only drawback of the Fazheng is that there is revenge, there will be revenge, and the communiqué is not a problem for personal vendetta. But from another point of view, he is a man of temperament, revenge, revenge, and kindness! At least he can take into account the overall situation, grasp current affairs, have a good relationship with the ministers, and can also get along with people with different opinions, communicate and coordinate, and in general, he is a good minister.
Wang Xu naturally remembered such a person, and when he learned that the battle situation in Hanzhong was already holding a secret report in his hand, he chattered to himself with a wry smile: "Coincidentally, coincidentally, why did you happen to go out with the army?" ”
The accompanying Fu Zhu, Xu Shu, and Chen Deng didn't know why, and immediately looked at each other.
"Hey! There are too many heroes in the world, and it's not a good thing! Although it's just a small official, it also hurts my overall situation! Wang Xu sighed, and then handed the secret report to Fu Zhi and the others to check.
The three of them saw it, and they were also very surprised, and said worriedly: "Lord, it seems that this law is extraordinary, when there is a talent through heaven and earth, the battle situation in Hanzhong must not be optimistic, although Zhao and the two generals are good generals, but at present, they may not be able to win!" ”
Wang Xu's brows were furrowed, and he said: "I think so too, and I hope that the princes will think of a countermeasure to share my worries!" ”
At the moment when the two were talking, Xu Shu still took the secret report and looked at it carefully, and even suddenly said to himself: "No, no!" There must be a problem, there must be a problem, it's not quite reasonable! ”
"Huh?" Wang Xu, Fu Zhu and Chen Deng looked at each other suspiciously.
Wang Xu asked, "Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?" Do you suspect that the war report is fake? ”
"It's not!" Xu Shu raised his head.
"What's wrong with that?" Wang Xu was even more confused.
"It's the movement of the Yizhou Army!" Xu Shu affirmed the authenticity, and then spread out the secret report in front of everyone, and said: "My lord, let's think about the entire deployment of Yizhou again, please take a look at Fuzhizhong and Yuanlong!" ”
The three of them were suspicious and gathered again to take a closer look.
After a while, Wang Xu, Fu Zhu, and Chen Deng were all surprised, looking at each other, a little dazed.
Chen Deng was the first to export: "My lord, is this because of the change in the Yizhou Army?" Or is the Fa being confused for a while? How can you make a good series of plans, but you have to give up the most important link, and miss the opportunity to completely defeat our army? ”
"yes!" Frustration also followed. "It's a wonderful and weird plan."
"This Fa is bluffing first, making a small number of people go out frequently, pretending to be a large group of people, and making it appear that they want to climb the mountain road and surprise attack the location of our army's food and grass. Then he always let us notice it, and when General Zhao sent troops to intercept it, I found that there were not many people on the other side, and I fled when I saw our army from a distance. ”
"Zhao and the two generals then judged that it was a plan to exhaust the troops, or they tried to make something out of nothing, and secretly sent dozens of soldiers to disguise themselves as mountain people to monitor the mountain trails everywhere, and the army pretended to be indifferent, in this section, there is no problem with the layout of the two sides!"
"Hmmm! Not bad. The crowd nodded in agreement.
Fu Zhu continued: "Subsequently, Fa Zheng really resorted to a plan out of nothing, dispatching three thousand elite foot soldiers to raid the mountain road. Found by spies. General Zhao decisively led his troops to intercept. The enemy army was defeated. ”
"The key is in the back part, judging from the battle reports from here, Fa Zheng obviously expected that Zhao Yun would be able to see through this plan out of nothing, and all this plan was the prelude to his defeat."
When General Zhao mistakenly thought that he had seen through the enemy's plan and led his army to chase and kill, Fa Zheng sent 5,000 soldiers to rescue him, and was then defeated by General Zhao. Chase all the way. At this time, General Zhao thought that the time for a decisive battle had come, and sent someone to inform General Zhou Zhi, who had stayed in the camp, to send troops to attack the enemy camp first, while he continued to take advantage of the victory to chase the defeated soldiers, preparing to follow the defeated army and disrupt the enemy camp. ”
General Zhou Zhi attacked the enemy camp and found that there were only more than 3,000 soldiers in the enemy camp, and he attacked hard. Subsequently, Zhao Yun pursued the defeated army of Yizhou and rushed to it from another way. instantly caused the battalion to retreat, and the two joined forces. Continue the pursuit. ”
"When they were about to chase to the ambushed pass, Zhao and the two generals found that the number of enemy troops was too different, and nearly half of them did not know where to go, so for the sake of prudence, General Zhao Yun led the elite to chase in front, and Zhou Zhi led most of the troops to press the formation in the rear, and finally General Zhao was ambushed in front of the pass."
After that, the defeated soldiers of Yizhou counterattacked, which means that Fazheng's plan worked. Fortunately, General Zhou Zhi led the rear to attack and rescued the front of General Zhao, and the two armies followed the defeat and retreated to the camp. ”
Speaking of this in one breath, Frustration finally paused, his eyes full of disbelief. "But why, on the way back to the camp after our army's defeat, we encountered sniper fire from 10,000 people? How could 10,000 people be there? Is this absolutely unbelievable? ”
"yes!" Xu Shu sighed. "Looking at the layout of this Fazheng, one link after another, ruthless and ruthless, how could you make such a superficial mistake? Since these 10,000 sergeants were able to appear on the way back from the defeat of our army to the camp, it was obviously hidden a long time ago, why didn't they directly attack the rear camp of our army when our army chased to the pass and was ambushed for such a long time? ”
Chen Deng also followed the interface: "Yes! The battle report said that at that time, only Huo Du led 3,000 crossbowmen to guard the camp, and the strange horse infantry in Yizhou was 10,000. It is inevitable that the whole line will be defeated, and the consequences will be unpredictable, so why wait to stop our defeated army? Isn't this a sacrifice of the bear's paw to get white rice? ”
Hearing this, he also summed it up and said: "What Yuan Long said is very true, if it is Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others, I am afraid that it is possible to forget it in victory, but it is unimaginable that a person who lays out such a subtle plan does not pay attention to the points that can be fatal in his plan." No matter how you look at it, I feel that this is the law that is letting our army live! But why? What's in it for him to do that? ”
Everyone was silent, and they didn't know how to answer, and after a while, Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Could it be that although this Fazheng is talented, he is greedy for power and power, and he doesn't want the war to end quickly, but intends to make more military achievements here in order to gain high-ranking officials?" ”
"Possibly!" Fu Zhu and Chen Deng couldn't think of a reason, so they could only guess.
But Wang Xu was silent and shook his head secretly: No! Although Fa Zheng has a grudge, but history records the actions of his life, there has never been any point, reflecting this kind of behavior that delays the overall situation because of greed for power, even Zhuge Liang admires him for taking care of the overall situation, if he is greedy for power, for so many years, he has already been rectified by Zhuge Liang.
But this is not certain, who knows if the historical record is completely correct, and it may not necessarily reflect the private struggle, maybe his death was caused by Zhuge Liang, although this possibility is very small!
Wang Xu was really confused, and sighed leisurely after a long time: "Not necessarily, what if he is full of confidence and intends to cast a long line to catch a big fish?" Ladies and gentlemen, if Hanzhong is powerless to resist and is on the verge of collapse, then we will inevitably be reinforced, most likely ......"
"The lord is coming!" Xu Shu took over in an instant.
"Hmmm! It's possible. Chen Deng nodded, and then admonished: "Since this is the case, the lord can't personally recruit, no matter what his intentions are, this time it is too mysterious and unpredictable, if he really has such a plan, then there must be a very well-thought-out plan, and it cannot be calculated." ”
Wang Xu was about to speak, but Xu Shu was the first to speak: "Yuanlong is right, if the lord can trust his subordinates, it is better to let his subordinates go!" will assist the two generals Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi to break the enemy. Although the two generals are both civil and military, they ultimately need a strategist to help them analyze the form, and the way of thinking between the general and the strategist is slightly different, and they can complement each other. ”
"Yuan Zhi is good at planning, I think it is feasible!" Fu Zhu immediately spoke, these days he has been intersecting with Xu Shu and knows his talent well.
Chen Deng also nodded in agreement.
Wang Xu hesitated a little and hesitated for a long time before agreeing: "It's okay, now that the barbarians in the south are also rebelling, I need to sit in Jingzhou and stabilize all parties, then Yuan Zhi will lead five thousand soldiers to go quickly." ”
"Lord, there is no need for soldiers!" Xu Shu smiled and waved his hand, and said with a confident smile: "Although General Zhao was defeated for a while, because of the line of vitality left by the law, the two generals Zhao and Zhou dealt with it decently, and the troops on the battlefield were well organized, and they retreated back to the battalion along the way, and the casualties in several battles were not too big, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers, enough!" ”
"Besides, Sergeant Yizhou lost two battles in the early days, and although Fa Zheng's plan was good, it was also a strategy with great casualties, and he let go of the opportunity to win. In addition, the elite of our Jingzhou army, and the world's good generals such as Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi, and they also occupy a favorable location, which is enough! ”
In the end, Xu Shu smiled freely and said: "The lord is relieved, his subordinates only need two good horses and twenty entourage guards!" (To be continued......)
