Chapter 168: Descending Zhang Baiqi
Hao Zhao showed his magical powers, like Wang Ba shrunken his shell, he guarded Anyi City to the death, and was stunned to block Hou Xuan, Li Kan, and Duan Xuan out of the city, and let them use a thousand tactics, but it was difficult for Hao Zhao, so he had to look at the city and sigh, hating why his father and mother didn't give them a few pairs of wings.
The princes of the three roads had no choice but to stop the banner, temporarily stop the army, set up camp and rest in the village, and then sent a messenger to the rear to tell Zhong Xuan to be in a hurry, asking the rear army to quickly send troops to support the siege.
Hao Zhao saw that the princes of the three roads had collected their troops and did not move, and after a little thought, he also guessed the idea of waiting for reinforcements in their hearts, and he was not ambiguous, and he also sent a messenger to the senior cadres with letters, explaining the situation between the lines, and asking the senior cadres to determine the after-effect of the matter.
Coincidentally, Hao Zhao's envoy and Yuan Shang's side arrived in Jinyang City almost at the same time.
Knowing that Guo Yuan was injured, Hao Zhao turned the tide and defended Hedong County, Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but feel comforted, it seems that the evaluation of Hao Zhao by later generations is not completely, this is known as the first general to defend the city in the late Three Kingdoms, it is indeed deserved, and he really has some ability.
For Hao Zhao's real strength, Gao Gan has always been suspicious, but because he was recommended by Yuan Shang, he had to include him under his command, and he used it for the time being, but he didn't want to make a big deal this time, which not only gave Yuan Shang face, but also made his direct boss Gao Gan have a bright face.
Bei'er's fucking face! Gao Gan now has a dark feeling.
Inside the main hall of Jinyang City. After narrating the battle in Hedong to Yuan Shang, Gao Gan praised Hao Zhao to Yuan Shang proudly. I only said that this kid should only be in heaven, and how many times can I smell it in the world.
Of course. After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but praise Yuan Shang by the way.
"The lord is really a wise lord, the right to know people, the strength of the virtuous, there is really no one in the world, I want Hao Zhao to be a young man. has no military exploits, and he is an unknown person, who is willing to look at him more if he is replaced by others. It's the Lord Gonghui who sees through the mortal dust, and is stunned to promote him and the ranks! If you get a talent out of thin air, over time, it will inevitably make the world famous, which is really admirable, admirable! ”
Yuan Shang waved his hand modestly and said with a smile: "Cousin has praised this statement, it's just that he happened to catch up with it, how can it be so evil as you say?" The urgency of the delay is that Hao Zhao can repel the vanguard army of the princes of the three roads this time. But it may not be able to defeat most of the princes' coalition led by Zhong Xuan, you and I have to plan early and go to support as soon as possible. ”
Gao Gan nodded when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Zhong Xuan, this person is scheming, and he is well versed in the cunning ways of people, and he is really a strong enemy of us. Candidate for the three generals, but the one who makes a plan must be Zhong Xuan! This person is cunning and cunning, and he is really a fierce opponent in this battle, and you and I need to deal with it carefully. ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said with emotion: "He has his Zhang Liang plan, we have our wall, although Zhong Xuan is resourceful, but after all, he has little battle, if he really fights, he may not be the opponent of you and my army, don't pee him too much!" It's just that there is another person in the Guanzhong army who came to attack the state this time, not only brave, but also the soldiers under his command are good at fighting. ”
Gao Gan was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "There are still such characters in the Guanzhong Coalition Army, which is even more difficult to deal with than Zhong Xuan?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Exactly, this person is Ma Chao, the son of the Marquis of Huaili, although he is not very old, he has extraordinary skills, and he has the name of General Shenweitian!" If we meet the clouds, we need to be more careful. ”…,
"Ma Chao?"
Gao Gan lowered his head, muttered silently for a while, and wondered: "It's really so powerful, but I haven't heard of this person's name?" ”
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that you don't have the ability, just like that Hao Zhao, wasn't he also unknown before? Ma Chao is not a small person, if it is about charging into battle and overcoming the enemy, I am afraid that you and I are not this person's opponent. ”
Gao Gan already affirmed Yuan Shang's ability to recognize people, and this time seeing Yuan Shang so solemn, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said: "If Ma Chao is really so difficult according to what the lord said, how should you and I deal with it?" ”
Yuan Shang pondered for a moment and said: "Before I came, I had already thought of a series of plans, maybe I could disintegrate the Guanzhong coalition army from the inside, but whether it works or not, it is still between the two theories, and I can only try." ”
Gao Gan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What's the plan? ”
Yuan Shang smiled and squeezed his eyes at Gao Gan, but did not say directly.
Then, I saw him clapping his hands and saying to the entourage standing on the side: "Go, find Zhang Yan, I have something to say to him!" ”
When the entourage heard this, he immediately received the order and left, and led Zhang Yan into the hall when he was young.
Although Zhang Yan joined the official army at this time, his usual behavior was still as tight as that day when he commanded the Montenegrin army.
Seeing Yuan Shang and Gao Gan, Zhang Yan gave a hasty salute, and then squatted cross-legged on the kneeling seat on the side, hehe, he opened his mouth and went straight to the topic: "Lord, do you have something to order?" ”
Yuan Shang and Zhang Yan are friends of life and death, and they are also very speculative in their words and actions, so they didn't care about it when they saw this, and said with a smile: "Old thief, let me ask you, before you established yourself in Montenegro, when you followed Zhang Jiao to rebel, what was your relationship with Zhang Baiqi of Hongnong?" ”
Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect Yuan Shang to ask this directly, and thought for a while and said: "The relationship is not too good, and it can even be said that it is not good!" Zhang Baiqi has always been arrogant, rude, not polite, full of swearing, not even listening, Lao Tzu is not used to seeing him on weekdays, so he is too lazy to pay attention to him! ”
Yuan Shang was immediately embarrassed when he heard this.
As for Zhang Yan's unclean mouth, she is embarrassed to say that people are full of swear words and don't know how to be polite? How to think about it.
"Old Yan thief, that's the case, before I came to Bingzhou, I asked Chang Feng to contact Liu Xiongming, a thief of Wuguan Dao who was in Guanzhong, Liu Xiongming had an old relationship with Chang Xuan, and now he has agreed to return to our army, I want him to lead his troops to start an incident in Guanzhong, and stab the Guanzhong coalition army in the back. Although he has some soldiers and horses, it is a little difficult to shake the rear of the Guanzhong army. That's why I thought of the Zhang Bai cavalry army that is now active in the Hongnong area, if Zhang Bai is willing to raise troops and join forces with Liu Xiongming. The first step in my strategy to sabotage the Guanzhong Army Alliance will succeed! That's why I'm bringing you here. ”
Zhang Yan frowned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Do you want Lao Tzu to say that Zhang Baiqi is down?" ”
"Exactly, how, do you have faith?"
Zhang Yan sighed when she heard this, shook her head and said, "Lord, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this, right?" ”
"How?"
Zhang Yan's eyebrows were almost twisted together. Said worriedly: "Lord, it's not Lao Tzu's hypocrisy, if you let Lao Tzu charge into battle and go into battle to kill the enemy." Lao Tzu is one top eight envoys! But now you let me do that girl's work as a lobbyist, and Lao Tzu will use half of it at most! ”
Yuan Shang knocked on the table dissatisfied, and said: "Let you be a lobbyist, and not let you pick up customers, why do you have to work?" ”
Zhang Yan hesitated when he heard this: "The main thing is that Zhang Baiqi's temper is sour, like his mother's sauerkraut, I don't deal with him!" How did he answer my call? When he was also a subordinate of Zhang Jiao, he had a big fight in three days and a big fight in five days, and you asked me to talk about him. Isn't Lao Tzu cheap? ”…,
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Zhang Baiqi doesn't deal with you, there is always something to deal with him!" People have seven emotions and six desires, Zhang Baiqi doesn't like you, but he may like to eat and drink women or something, let's just prescribe the right medicine! ”
Zhang Yan sighed when she heard this, shook her head and said: "Zhang Bai is very temperamental, he doesn't like anything, he likes money, and he is a weirdo." ”
Yuan Shang was curious when he heard this: "Those who like money are weirdos." What kind of logic do you have? I also like money, do you think I'm weird? ”
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes and deeply resisted the urge to punch him in the face.
You're not to blame, you're all to blame for the smoke and it's a monster!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan finally softened his breath and said, "Is that so?" You prepare 5,000 gold for me, Lao Tzu may be able to try to persuade Zhang Baiqi, if not, Lao Tzu has no tricks at all! Who you like, who you like! ”
Yuan Shang slapped his chest: "No problem, I'll give you 10,000 gold, you can set off to Guanzhong to do business now, don't delay the hour." ”
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, looked at Yuan Shang in disbelief, and muttered, "Ten thousand gold, when did you become so generous?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled proudly, and said quite smugly: "I have always been righteous and squandering money, treating money as dung, but I have always behaved more subtlely, don't talk nonsense, you set off immediately, take a detour to the Wuguan crossing in Guanzhong, first talk to Liu Xiongming, and then go to say that Zhang Baiqi will descend, and then wait for my next instructions." ”
Zhang Yan got up when she heard this, and said heroically and heartily: "No! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan glanced at Yuan Shang cautiously again, and asked inquiringly: "That lord, where is the money?" ”
Yuan Shang was full of doubts, looked at Zhang Yan in confusion, and said curiously: "What money?" ”
Zhang Yan's face was a little gloomy for a moment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "10,000 gold said to reduce the money!" Just said it and forgot about it! Aren't you a righteous squanderer? ”
Yuan Shang shook his head suddenly, and said disdainfully: "I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring the money!" Can't give it! ”
Zhang Yan stumbled when she heard this, and almost fell to the ground, and said angrily: "If you don't give money, how can you let me say that he will be surrendered?" 10,000 gold! Are you going to let me pay for it myself? ”
Yuan Shang sighed helplessly, beckoned to Zhang Yan, called him to him, and persuaded him with hatred that iron is not steel.
"Stupid, you were still a thief in vain, why are you not skilled in business at all! In this world, there is a thing called Baitiao, haven't you fought before? ”
The corners of Zhang Yan's mouth twitched, and she said affirmatively: "I haven't heard of it!" ”
"You haven't beaten the white stripes, your life is really broken, don't tell outsiders in the future that you have been a thief, shame comes and comes, I will make up for you today."
ZHANG Yan...... With the task of going to Zhang Baiqi to make a white strip, Zhang Yan left with a stomach full of sorrow and resentment, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan did not delay, and immediately led most of the soldiers and horses towards Anyi City, Dongjun.
At this time, most of the soldiers and horses led by Zhong Xuan were also on the border of Dongjun, and the two armies arrived almost at the same time, without two words, one south and one north, directly relying on the border of Anyi City in Dongjun and camping, the two sides were separated by thirty miles, far away, and the sky of the entire Dongjun accumulated a strong sense of gunpowder, and the war was about to break out.
After Zhong Xuan arrived, the candidates, Li Kan, and Duan Xuan, the three generals, immediately came to ask for guilt, although the three defeated Guo Yuan according to Zhong Xuan's strategy, but unfortunately they suffered a setback in Anyi City.
As the vanguard of the front, the three of them went to seize the city with a victorious army, which was originally a matter of nine out of ten, but they were defeated under the hands of a little-known Hao Zhao. …,
Not to mention losing the opportunity, but also losing the face...... In the tent of the joint army commander of Guanzhong.
Looking at the three people worshipping under the tent, Zhong Xuan's heart couldn't help but feel angry, and he designed to help them clean up Guo Yuan, but in the end, he couldn't even pack up a little Hao Zhao, not to mention the morale, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses!
What a real one is three pure bale waste! If it weren't for the fact that they were guest generals, Zhong Xuan would have taken them down the road a long time ago, and they would still be able to get caught here!?
can be despised and despised, but after all, it is a coalition army, and Zhong Miao still needs to do enough in terms of face.
personally helped the three of them up, and comforted them with kind words, Zhong Xuan summoned all the princes to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now most of the soldiers and horses of the senior cadres have arrived at the border of Anyi City, and the defenders of Hao Zhao in the city are each other's horns, and the east and west are facing each other, if we attack the city, then the senior cadres will lead the state army to respond, if we are attacking the high cadres, then after Hao Zhao in the city leads the troops to attack our army, it is quite difficult, all the princes are capable people who have been in battle for a long time, like this, how to deal with it?"
After listening to Zhong Xuan's words, everyone bowed their heads and hesitated, only Ma Chao sneered, got up and arched his hand: "The vanguard of our army in front of Anyi City failed, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city in the city was booming at this time. Restore morale and go to the siege again, you have a chance of winning! ”
Because Yuan Shang came here in secret, and left his own handsome banner in Liyang to appease the army and deter Cao Cao, at this time, the Guanzhong coalition army only knew that the senior cadres led the troops, and did not know that Yuan Shang was here.
Zhong Xuan listened to Ma Chao's words, and couldn't help nodding secretly, although Ma Teng's son was proud, he was proud of his capital, just looking at the ability to analyze the battle situation at this time, it was a little higher than everyone present.
"General Ma Shao's words are reasonable, it is better to send a few princes to feint attack Anyi City tomorrow and block his idea of sending troops to respond, I will do our best to fight Gaogan, what do you think?"
Ma Chao got up heartily and said with a smile: "Zhong Servant shoots this method very well, Ma Chao is not talented, and he is willing to be the pioneer of the front!" Go to fight high-ranking cadres, if you can't make meritorious service, dare to be dealt with by military law! ”
After that, he didn't forget to look at the candidates provocatively, Li Kan, Duan Xuan and other princes of the three roads, their eyes were full of provocative looks, and they only smoked the brains of the three people!
The three of them were still at a loss, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so they had to look at Ma Chao with a dry eye.
Behind Ma Chao, Pang De couldn't help but sigh and shook his head secretly.
The eldest prince has such an arrogant and domineering temperament, but how can he fix it!? If this goes on for a long time, it will suffer in the future! (To be continued) RQ
