Wang Xu was very happy, and did not hide his appreciation and affection, looked at Kong Ming and said: "It seems that you and Pang Shiyuan's southern expedition this time is really the right use, the main force of Jiaozhou to participate in the war has a total of 110,000 people, and almost even the old book has been taken out, but it is a pity that you burned him 30,000 first, and Pang Tong broke his two camps in a row, if there is no Jiangdong, presumably the Jiaozhou army has been completely defeated at this moment!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said calmly about Pang Tong: "My lord, if there is no Jiangdong, when the two armies confronted each other, Pang Shiyuan's plan of outflanking and attacking the east in a roundabout way was enough to completely defeat the main force of Jiaozhou. ”

"General Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci fought fiercely for dozens of times, regardless of victory or defeat, Huang Xu led his troops to fight Zhou Yu and Ling Cao, Wang Xiong led his troops to capture Lu Su, Pang Shiyuan commanded the army to attack Shixie, and fought fiercely for several hours, and it was difficult for each to have results, so they retreated! It's a pity that both sides are well-groomed and orderly in advance and retreat, so the battle did not cause too many casualties to the other side. ”

"I understand!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded: "If the plan is discovered, it will be difficult to cause casualties if they are in close battle with each other." So how did Pang Shiyuan do it? ”

Zhuge Liang explained: "After the battle of Alin, two or three thousand defeated soldiers fled back to the camp in the South China Sea, and his subordinates ordered people to quickly report to the main army. ”

"Could it be that he pretended to be a defeated soldier in Jiaozhou? How is that possible? Although Jiaozhou also speaks Chinese, the accent is very different, how can it not be discovered? Wang Xu was quite puzzled.

"Definitely!" Zhuge Liang's smile was very gentle, with an indescribable elegant charm, and he shook the feather fan lightly and said, "Pang Shiyuan's plan." The subordinates also admired it. He did not pretend to be defeated in Jiaozhou. Instead, he divided his troops and set up an ambush, so that the partial general Yang Huai led 5,000 troops to lurk in the wilderness in the early morning of that day, making a gesture of attacking and killing the defeated army, but in fact, the main force of Jiaozhou knew the ambush location. ”

Wang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought: "The defeat of two or three thousand people is a big force, and it is impossible for Jiaozhou to give up." And already know the location of the ambush, he is bound to send troops to fight back, did Pang Shiyuan set up a bureau to defeat this support army? ”

"Lord, Jiaozhou has been calculated, and at this moment, he sent troops to fight back, how can he not be careful?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "It's unlikely that this support army will succeed!" At that time, among the three major battalions in Jiaozhou, the commander of the Xida Battalion, which was the closest to him, immediately secretly sent 10,000 troops, intending to fight back. Only 10,000 men remained in the camp. ”

That is to say, Pang Tong lured out the enemy's soldiers and horses. Instead, they attacked the camp directly? Wang Xu asked excitedly.

"That's roughly the case, but there is a small plan here, if you attack the camp directly, the enemy army will definitely be heavily guarded, even if there are 10,000 people, it will be difficult to overcome!" Zhuge Liang said, his face full of praise for Pang Tong's friend: "Shi Yuan has already made an order to let the army led by Yang Huai be defeated, and when the Jiaozhou army thought that it was unaware of the ghosts, and let the 10,000 people kill Yang Huai, Yang Huai pretended to be in the middle of the plan, and the confrontation was only a quarter of an hour before retreating in panic and fleeing farther to the west." ”

At this time, the Jiaozhou army thought it was a success, and the army's morale was greatly boosted, chasing Yang Huai's army, and at the same time, it quickly sent people back to Xidaying to report the victory, and boosted the morale of the Jiaozhou army due to successive defeats. The commander of the Jiaozhou West Battalion also thought that the overall situation had been decided, and not only relaxed, but also reported the good news to the Shixie of the Zhongda Battalion. ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu laughed when he heard it. What a Pang Tong, this method of paralyzing the enemy army with the failure of an ambush is really unheard of, and the Jiaozhou West Battalion thinks that it will be a success in this battle, and it will inevitably be relaxed, and Pang Tong will wave his army to attack the camp. ”

"Not yet, here's where the best plan comes in." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"And a plan?" Wang Xu was surprised.

"If it weren't for the strategy, Pang Shiyuanyan would be able to break through two camps in a row?" Zhuge Liang smiled, and then said: "Around the afternoon, Pang Tong ordered Liu Yun and He Yi of our western battalion to lead 3,000 soldiers out, and pretended to be 10,000 people to go west, and made a gesture to rescue Yang Huai, which also let the Jiaozhou army know. ”

"This made the Jiaozhou army even more happy, thinking that our western battalion had been completely empty, and the main general of the Jiaozhou western battalion personally led 8,000 troops to attack, intending to attack and kill Liu Yun's reinforcements, and at the same time, the Shixie of the Jiaozhou Zhongda battalion sent 20,000 troops and hurriedly set off, wanting to take the opportunity to attack our western battalion."

"Huh" Wang Xu listened to Zhuge Liang's words, held his breath, and only then did he breathe a sigh ......of relief: "If this is the case, Pang Tong must have a real ambush, and it is time to attack the camp!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhuge Liang's voice raised slightly, and obviously his feelings were also a little fluctuating: "Actually, Pang Shiyuan had ordered five thousand foot soldiers to travel lightly the night before, and they waited for a long time from the mountain road to the rear of the western camp in Jiaozhou. ”

"At this time, there were only 2,000 people left in the Jiaozhou West Battalion, and the hour was just after night, Pang Shiyuan and Wang Xiong led the troops to suddenly kill from the mountain road, the momentum was like a bamboo, the enemy camp was in the slack after the big victory, defenseless, and only two thousand old and weak, the Jiaozhou West Camp was broken, Wang Xiong and Pang Tong quickly burned it."

At the same time, Zhao Yun, the main battalion of our Chinese army, also waved his army directly to attack Shixie's Zhongda battalion, Shixie had already transferred 20,000 sergeants in the afternoon, and there were only 10,000 people left in the battalion, and in the face of General Zhao Yun's fierce offensive, it was precarious. Jiaozhou Dongda Battalion, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses connected to the East Camp heard the news, and hurriedly sent troops to rescue, our East Battalion Huang Xu was already prepared, leading 10,000 people to block on the road, although the enemy, but to block it to the death, he got the order to resist for an hour, which is not difficult. ”

"At the same time, after Wang Xiong and Pang Tong quickly burned down the West Camp, they immediately rushed to the Jiaozhou Camp, ten miles away, only half an hour to arrive, shouting that the Jiaozhou West Camp has been broken, and the enemy camp was killed from the west, and the skyrocketing fire in the west was extremely conspicuous in the night, the Jiaozhou army was in a panic, and Zhao Yun, who was attacking head-on, led two thousand Yanyun iron cavalry, such as a dragon in the sea, no one could stop it, and the fierce battle lasted for half an hour, the Jiaozhou Camp was completely defeated in the two-sided attack and panic, and Shi Xie led the troops to flee to the east."

When Wang Xu heard this, he was already full of praise: "A good and precise plan, interlocking, outflanking, luring the enemy to set up an ambush, striking east and west, between virtual and real, everything is used, amazing, amazing!" Pang Shiyuan is good at attacking. It's tactics everyone! And what about then? Shixie had 20,000 men attacking our western camp. How is it disposed of? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan. He smiled and said: "My lord can remember that Yang Huai only took 5,000 people, Liu Yun and He Yi only pretended to be 10,000 people with 3,000 people, Wang Xiong set up 5,000 soldiers and horses in ambush, and there are still 10,000 people in our western camp. ”

"Hahaha...... The West Camp is in ambush? Wang Xu burst out laughing.

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "Pang Shiyuan had long expected this, so there were only two thousand crossbowmen stationed in the western camp, and there were eight thousand people ambushed outside the camp. When the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou were fierce and rushed into the camp. 10,000 people fought from three directions, 10,000 arrows were fired at once, and they were defeated in less than half an hour, which was earlier than the rout of the large battalion in Jiaozhou. ”

At this point, the two large battalions in Jiaozhou were defeated, with countless casualties, Huang Xu resisted for more than an hour, heard that the middle camp in Jiaozhou had been broken, and quickly led the troops to retreat, Zhao Yun and Wang Xiong burned the middle camp in Jiaozhou. rushed to rescue Huang Xu, and the three soldiers and horses quickly retreated. ”

Wang Xu frowned: "What about Yang Huai's five thousand people?" There are also 3,000 people from Liu Yun and He Yi. Aren't they dangerous? Jiaozhou is over there, but there are 18,000 people chasing and killing. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "They didn't lose anything at first, but they suffered some losses when they just fought, and then the task is to run, compete with the Jiaozhou army, and run all the way west along the main road!" This is Pang Shiyuan has long planned, the Jiaozhou army has almost no cavalry, chasing the enemy is the most inconvenient, this is the place that can be used, the martial arts are upright and violent, knowing that after the Jiaozhou fiasco, he is holding back a resentment in his heart, and he will definitely chase desperately, and Jiaozhou is also afraid that after this army runs to Yulin County, his rear will be completely lost. ”

As he spoke, the expression on Zhuge Liang's face was a little gloomy, and his voice was also low, and he sighed: "It's a pity that when Yang Huai and others retreated to Cangwu, they were blocked by the defenders of Cangwu County. ”

"Alas!" Wang Xu sighed and was silent, today's battlefield is not as good as in the early days, the scale is too huge, even if you win the battle, you will inevitably kill and wound the generals, this is something that no one can predict and cannot control, bad luck, anything will happen.

After all, fighting a war will kill people!

After a long time, Wang Xu said leisurely: "Kong Ming, draft a document for me and send it back to Xiangyang, Han Xi and Deng Fang, in the early years, followed Liu Biao to lead the people to attach, and then from Wuwei General Zhao Yun, conquered Yizhou, pacified Nanzhong, and fell in the battle of Jiaozhou in the south, read his tired combat exploits, posthumously awarded Han Xi as General Lizhong, Deng Fang as General Renzhong, entered the history of the biography, and compensated his family according to the standard of the general, and gave two families 100 catties of gold each, 10 acres of fertile land, allowed to be rented to others for farming, and gave two bronze plaques, after writing the heroes, and counted Han Xi, The merits of the two Deng Fang. ”

"No!" Zhuge Liang silently obeyed.

Wang Xu also saw too much about life and death, and after calming down, he asked again: "Kong Ming, these 8,000 people fled from the South China Sea, even if they take the official road, no matter how fast it is, it will take ten days, what will they eat?" How did you get here? ”

"Because they had been prepared for a long time and knew that this trip was difficult, they all carried thirty thick meat foam biscuits on their backs, wrapped in cloth and tied on their backs, barely able to support them for five days, and furthermore, Pang Tong also allowed them to rob the township twice along the way, but they were not allowed to kill people, so they were barely able to support, but all the horses of the general school were killed and eaten." Zhuge Liang said.

Wang Xu didn't mean to blame, he is not a pedantic person, sometimes robbing this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't hurt people's lives too much, just turn a blind eye and pass it, otherwise it will be impossible for the bloody soldiers to starve to death? In many cases, the decision has to be made based on the specific situation, and as for those people, it is enough to double the compensation after the war.

"What about the army? The 18,000-strong army in Jiaozhou? ”

This time Zhuge Liang was slightly shy, and said in a low voice: "Pang Tong sent his henchmen to quietly send the news before the implementation of this plan, so that the minister could take over a group of men, I am afraid that there will be a large number of chasing soldiers, after the minister inquired about the situation, he made preparations early, and set up a gossip fire array on the Yuquan slope on the south bank of Yushui, and less than two hours after Yang Huai and Liu Yun passed through Guò, the Jiaozhou soldiers chased after them and ignited them with rockets, so the 18,000 people were burned!" ”

"You're burning again!" Wang Xu grew his mouth slightly. (To be continued......)
