Chapter 182: The soldiers are divided into two ways
It is natural to repay debts, who said that the one who owes debts must be the uncle?
Just like the current Yuan Shang, it stands to reason that he is now the lord of the two thieves Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming, according to human nature, it is not impossible to rely on these two white strips with his character, but he is about to reinforce Jizhou in two ways, and he needs to borrow the mountain soldiers under these two thieves as a surprise army to sneak attack, and pass through Taihang Mountain to carry out a surprise attack, so in terms of the current situation, Yuan Shang not only can't squint the money of the two, but also has to smile and beg these two masters with both hands.
If you want to use other people's soldiers, the first premise is to pay back!
So, among the four pairs of shining eyes of Liu Xiongming and Zhang Baiqi, two large carts and four boxes of gold silk were transported by Gao Gan from Jinyang, Bingzhou to the Shuai Tent, and Yuan Shang personally handed them over to the hands of the two robbers.
When those golden and busy golden silks were placed in front of Zhang and Liu, the two thieves almost did not hesitate, bowed deeply to Yuan Shang together, and said hoarsely: "Zhang Baiqi (Liu Xiongming), thank you for your kindness!" From today on, the brothers of Hongnong Black Mountain and Wuguan Road Crossing are willing to send to the Lord, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, never give up, and never betray the Lord? Hey? Lord, why are you crying? ”
Yuan Shang looked at the yellow golden silks with hazy eyes, and there was a deep reluctance and infatuation in his eyes.
He wiped his tears, sobbed and helped Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming up, and said, "The two generals don't need to be so polite, please Yuan quickly." It doesn't matter Yuan, it's just crying with joy, crying with joy."
Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming glanced at each other curiously, and secretly said that this Yuan Gongzi is really a strange person, the two of them have been coming from Guanzhong for several days, and this Yuan Gongzi has almost no reaction, but he cried with joy when he returned the white strip today?
Is he crying for us, or is he crying for money? It's too obvious, isn't it?
Next. Yuan's army was divided into two routes, one was led by Gao Gan, Zhao Yun and other generals. Take the Hanoi Road, go straight to Jizhou, and the other route is Yuan Shang. Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Xiongming and other four people led the mountain road, crossed the Taihang Mountain, and walked the trail.
The flowers bloom two and each show a branch, not to mention that the Yuan army has already taken action, just talking about the side of Cao Jun, Cao Cao has set up five villages in a few days and attacked Liyang. How could the Jizhou generals led by Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and others defend the city, and there are Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Sima Yi. Xun Chen and others made a plan, and deployed heavy troops in the counties around Liyang City, so although they were passive for a while, they were still not broken by Cao Cao.
Thirty miles south of Liyang, Cao Junshuai camped.
"What!" Inside the handsome tent, Cao Cao slammed the table. couldn't suppress the anger in his voice, and roared violently: "The Guanzhong coalition army was defeated by the Bingzhou army, and Zhong Xuan was captured alive?" How is it possible, how can Gao Gan have such great ability?! ”
Under the tent, an envoy sent by Cao Jun in Guanzhong knelt on the ground, drenched in cold sweat, as if he had been pointed, and his whole body was constantly shivering.
"Back to Cao Sikong's words, the villain's words are true, and there is no reason to deceive! The Yuan army resorted to a divisive strategy, broke the relationship between the princes and the Ma family, and made the two sides angry, and the princes of Guanzhong suffered heavy losses, and folded several princes, and there were even Jincheng Taishou Han Sui sent to support the receiving soldiers and horses, but they had not yet arrived in Hedong County, and saw that the coalition army was exhausted, so they immediately withdrew their troops, and they did not even come out."
"Humph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Han Sui, the old thief, is cunning and tight!" Who was the leader of the troops he sent? ”
"It's his son-in-law Yan Xingye."
"Han Sui, Yan Xing, Gu remembered this account for them, and Gu will settle it with them in the future." Cao Cao was sad and indignant at the moment because of the loss of Zhong Xuan, but even Han Sui and Yan Xing, who were watching the fire from the other side, were annoyed. …,
In Cao Jun's tent, there was an old fox Jia Xu touching the beard of his chin, brushing it one by one, and the frequency was very rhythmic.
"Duke Ming, the top priority is not to blame the princes of Guanzhong for their dereliction of duty, now that Zhong Xuan has been captured, the princes of Guanzhong have been defeated, the senior cadres and their soldiers and horses have no worries, but it is a matter of time before they come to reinforcements, and the Duke of Ming needs to prepare early."
Jia Xu's words fell, but he heard the messenger from Guanzhong quickly nod in response: "Exactly, exactly!" Before the villain came to report the news, he had heard that Gao Gan left Hao Zhao to hold on, and the three armies of the state were raised and merged, along the Hanoi Avenue, and went straight to the left flank of our army. ”
Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "It's okay! On the road of Hebei, the old man has arranged for Yu Ban, Lejin two strong troops, when the road to the village, tightly defended, if the senior cadres want to rush through the defense line, but it also has to take some twists and turns, then Lone has already broken through Liyang, captured Yuan Shang, he has more reinforcements of soldiers and horses, it is useless. ”
Yuan Shang's handsome banner was still in Liyang City, although he did not show up, but Cao Jun and others still thought that he was here.
Cao Cao's left kneeling collapsed, but Guo Jia smiled prodigally, slowly got up and arched his hand: "Although Ming Gong has already prepared, how can it be a foolproof strategy, and the state leads to the land of Liyang, although there is Hanoi official road as its main road, but there is still a way to Taihang Mountain, if you don't want to hold it, in case the enemy army divides its troops over the mountain, thinking that it is a surprise attack, and the front and rear attack are in the ban and Lejin, I am afraid that with the ability of the two generals, but it may not be able to protect it." ”
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he said strangely: "The land of Taihang, stretching for thousands of miles, the mountains are steep, and the trails are complicated, and you can't go unless you are accustomed to the mountain army, even if Yuan Jun has this idea, I'm afraid it may not be feasible, right?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, it is always good to be careful." ”
"Then according to the meaning of filial piety, who should be sent to guard the mountain pass?"
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Xu Chu, the commander of the Tiger Guard, was a man for a long time before joining the army, and he was used to walking in the mountains. ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, since this is the case, according to what Feng Xiao said, send Xu Chu and Zang Ba to guard the Taihang Pass!" In case Yuan Jun surprises the side road! ”
Taihang Mountain is undulating, the terrain is precipitous, but there is a clear and sweet trickle, meandering in the mountain, and then converge into a small river and a big river, running to the east, the strange rocks are rugged everywhere, the grass and trees are thick, the trail is difficult to find, and the road is quiet.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan herself has been in it for many years, knows the terrain well, and is accustomed to all roads, so she walks quite fast. But Rao is like this, and he almost didn't climb down this mountain risk.
Although Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming's soldiers and horses are good at walking mountain roads, the environment in them is too difficult, not only to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, but also to face many natural dangers in the mountains and forests.
"Ah~~~! Snake! Snake! Yuan Shang shouted and jumped up on the spot, there were many dangers in the mountains and forests, poisonous snakes and beasts were everywhere, and Yuan Shang could be frightened almost every day.
"Panic!" Zhang Yan glanced at Yuan Shang dissatisfiedly, lowered his voice and roared: "It's just a broken wooden fork, where did the snake come from?" Take a closer look! ”
Yuan Shang lowered his head and looked carefully, but saw that it was indeed a thick and long wooden fork, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang Yan dissatisfiedly: "There is no sun and moon in the mountains, I just pretend to be afraid, and find some fun for everyone." ”
Zhang Yan glanced at Yuan Shang dissatisfied, and said, "Pretend to be afraid? What are you pretending to be afraid of you jumping on me and holding Lao Tzu? It's not down yet, isn't it deliberately disgusting? ”…,
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and after a closer look, he really jumped on Zhang Yan, and was still holding his neck, and suddenly kicked his face, scratched his head and jumped down with a dry laugh.
Zhang Yan glanced at him dissatisfied, looked up at the mountain road, and nodded affirmatively while watching: "Insist on persevering, it won't be long before we can go out of the mountain, it's not far away!" ”
Yuan Shangchang sighed, shook his head and said: "Big brother, it's a good thing that you want to comfort us, but can you change the word, I have heard you say this sentence 'not far away' since the second day after entering the mountain, how many days have you been talking about it, you treat us all as idiots?" ”
Zhang Yan nodded affirmatively and said, "This time the designation is not far away, don't worry, I will never lie to you!" ”
"I believe you have a ghost," Yuan Shang muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Report ~~~!"
As he was talking, he saw Liu Xiongming, the big thief at the Wuguan crossing, whose feet were full of mud, limping towards Yuan Shang, and arching his hand at Yuan Shang, and said: "My lord, General Zhang Baicai's spies have already found a crossing out of the mountain when they go to Wuli, and it is connected to the road to Liyang in Jizhou!" It's just that next to the mountain pass, Cao Jun is already preparing for battle, choking his throat, dare to ask the lord how to act? ”
Yuan Shangchang sighed, and secretly said in his heart that while Cao Jun was tightly arranged, he also asked Liu Xiongming: "Who is the person guarding the pass, have you ever found out?" ”
Liu Xiongming nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "I have found it clear, one is Zang Ba, the general of Zhendong, and now he is the minister of Cao Junlang, and he is also on the side of Cao Cao's Beishan campaign this time." ”
"Zang Ba? Tarzan thief Well, is there anything else? ”
Liu Xiongming swallowed lightly and said: "There is another person, Xu Chu, the commander of the Cao Army Tiger Guard, who is known for his bravery among the generals of the Cao Army!" ”
"Xu Chu, hehe, old friend!"
Zhang Yan walked to Yuan Shang's side and said in a low voice: "Zang Ba and Xu Chu, I heard that these two people are from the thieves and Koutun people, and they are quite good at mountain warfare, so they are not easy to deal with!" We are waiting to cross the Taihang and take the path, the soldiers are already tired, if we clash with them head-on, I am afraid it is not a good strategy! ”
Yuan Shang nodded lightly and said, "I also know this, but it doesn't matter, I have a way!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
