Chapter 214 Mistakes on Mistakes
Lu Weihuang walked forward with dozens of personal soldiers, intending to ask what the other party meant. But when the distance between the two sides was getting closer, I saw that Lu Weihuang suddenly shouted and fled, then turned around and rushed to his own camp.
Lu Weihuang was running, and shouted loudly, "Quick, fast, it's not the state army, it's the Yellow Turban thief!" ”
It turned out that when Lu Weihuang stepped forward, he recognized Pei Yuanshao, the leader of the Yellow Turban thieves who had robbed him of his grain and grass, so he reacted and rushed back.
Lu Weihuang fled, Pei Yuanshao behind him led his troops to chase after him, and the two of them ran into the front army of Yan Liangjun between chasing and escaping, and then they saw that the people wearing the uniforms of the Bingzhou army were killed fiercely, and they immediately killed more than 300 people.
Then, without waiting for Yan Liang's army to arrive, these people fled again after a whistle.
Yan Liang and Gao Ran, who were in the middle of the army, led the army to come, and when they saw that the sergeants under their command were fighting with the Bingzhou army, they were all inexplicable, and they came to ask about the situation.
As soon as he saw Yan Liang and Gao Ran coming, Lu Weihuang made it clear what he saw. "Two generals, I dare to protect them with their heads, those people are definitely not the state army, but the Yellow Turban Army pretending to be them."
Listening to Lu Weihuang's narration, Yan Liang sighed: "I didn't expect that there were still some capable people among the Yellow Turban thieves who actually thought of using such a method to sneak attack us. Fortunately, General Lu saw through it early, otherwise, I don't know what the consequences will be. ”
"Yes. These yellow turban thieves are indeed very cunning, and it seems that they need to be extremely careful when dealing with them in the future. Gao Ran also nodded incessantly, and at the same time there was a cold sweat in his heart. I was thinking, if it wasn't Lu Weihuang who stepped forward just now, but himself, then who knows if his life can be saved without preparation?
After passing what happened just now, Yan Liang and the others had a higher opinion of the Yellow Turban Thief in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also more determined to leave here. In the face of such a strong Yellow Turban remnant, they already felt that they had more than enough strength to do so.
After the toss of what happened just now, Yan Liang decided not to take the army to approach Yinguan City. Set up camp nearby, wait for the next morning, and try to cross the city in one day, and leave this dangerous place.
That night, Gao Ran was on duty at night, and he took a group of about 3,000 men and horses to be responsible for the defense of the night.
After the day's events, Gao Ran immediately ordered to go down, that is, no one can be trusted, and anyone who wants to get close to the camp needs to be notified in advance.
That is, not long after dark, Yan Liang and the others had not yet fallen asleep, so a scout scout came to report, saying that they saw a group of people approaching here from a distance, because it was dark and it was impossible to see how many people there were, but looking at what they were wearing, it seemed that they were still men and horses from the state army.
As soon as the news reached Gao Ran, he went to Yan Liang's camp to discuss countermeasures. As soon as he said the news, General Lu Weihuang in the big tent raised his eyebrows and said: "I think it must still be a trick of the Yellow Turban thieves, and after they played this game during the day and I recognized it, they changed it to night." ”
"Not bad." Yan Liang also nodded and said, "What General Lu said is extremely true. I've been thinking about it for so long, and the state army hasn't dealt with us much, so why did it appear at night? There must be something strange about this. ”
The two generals both thought so, and Gao Ran nodded and said, "If that's the case, how can we do it and destroy each other?" ”
"Of course, but it's better to wait until the other party gets closer, so that they think that we are attacking before their identities are revealed, so that they can win at the least cost, so that they will not dare to come and steal the camp in the future." Yan Liang expressed his opinion as the main general, and at the same time, he also gave an order.
After Gao Ran received Yan Liang's order, he went to arrange it. Considering that the number of opponents was unknown, this time he prepared two thousand archers to ambush in the dark, and then he led a thousand men to stand outside the camp in a very welcoming posture.
Under the darkness, the dark shadow is getting closer and closer. When they could see each other clearly with the naked eye, they saw a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the state army.
"Sure enough, it's still those people." After Gao Ran saw the state army, he was still the same people who were still in the daytime in the future, and immediately prepared to release arrows in secret.
The soldiers of the Bingzhou Army on the opposite side were not at all defenseless, and they still strode forward, and when the distance between the two sides was less than 100 steps, Gao Ran immediately shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" ”
At the command of the order, many archers rushed out from both sides of the camp, and they shot arrows that had long been full. Sharp arrows pierced the air and passed straight through the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army.
A burst of arrows rained down, and the state soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and no one had been seen pulling out their arrows to resist until they died.
After the rain of arrows, Gao Ran rushed up with a thousand soldiers, and when he saw from a distance that none of the enemy were alive, he also laughed wildly.
It didn't take long for the statistics of the battle report to be made, and a total of 100 people were killed in this battle, including thousands of stones of grain and thousands of heroes drunk.
"Wait, why are there so many people, and what are they doing with food and spirits?" The more Gao Ran listened to the report, the more he didn't understand.
While Gao Ran was still stunned, another soldier handed over the letterhead found from the corpse, "General, this is from the other party's commander, it is a letter to General Yan." ”
When I heard that there were still letters, Gao Ran had a premonition that something was wrong. Hurriedly took the letter, and after reading it roughly, he immediately patted the helmet with his right hand and said, "How is this good!" ”
It turned out that this was a letter written by Jia Xu to General Yan Liang. The general idea is to thank them for suppressing bandits in the mountains, but because of official business, it is not good to leave the city without authorization, so a hundred soldiers are sent to bring some food, grass and liquor to express their condolences.
"It's really a soldier of the state army." Looking at the hundred soldiers who had been shot into hedgehogs, Gao Ran didn't know what to do this time.
Soon after, he returned to Yan Liang's big tent with the letter. As soon as he entered the account, Lu Weihuang immediately walked over and said, "General Gao, can you destroy the enemy?" ”
"Destroyed, but not the enemy." After Gao Ran finished these words weakly, he handed the letter over.
Yan Liang took the letter with a suspicious look, and after reading it, he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that it is the labor soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who came?" ”
"Yes, they also brought grain and grass and heroes drunk." Gao Ran replied with a bitter face.
"Then you... And you killed them all? Yan Liang also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and asked out loud.
"Yes, they were all killed, and none of them survived in a hundred."
Gao Ran's answer made Yan Liang a little angry, "Then why don't you see clearly that you are killing?" ”
"How can you see clearly, the night is so dark. If it's an enemy, wouldn't it be possible to put it in front of you? Gao Ran heard that Yan Liang was guilty, and immediately refuted loudly. In short, he would not bear the charge of killing friendly soldiers alone, this was Yan Liang's order.
"But it's only a hundred, so what if they really come to the front?" Yan Liang really didn't mean to let go. He knew very well that someone had to be responsible for this matter, and Gao Yan was the best scapegoat.
Seeing that Yan Liang was still unyielding, Gao Ran immediately replied: "Didn't I say it? It's dark and I can't see exactly how many enemies there are, how can I possibly know that it's a hundred? ”
The two generals were arguing, and Lu Weihuang on the side saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Two generals, don't be arguing, I think it's better to think about what to do next, right?" If the Bingzhou army knew that we had killed their people, I am afraid that they would definitely find us desperately, and in this case, we would have a problem if we wanted to leave Yanmen safely. ”
Lu Weihuang's shout made Yan Liang and Gao Ran stop fighting, and then after the two glanced at each other, they both snorted coldly.
Although the two looked at each other unpleasantly, they did understand that how to leave safely was the most important thing at this time. Under Lu Weihuang's peace, the three of them still reached an agreement, that is, they left here overnight while the matter was not known to the state army. As long as you leave Yanmen and return to Youzhou, there is no one to do to yourself.
With a decision, the army did not rest, but rose up overnight, and before the day was full, the army left here and headed towards the Yin Pavilion City in front.
By the time more than 30,000 troops arrived at the city of Yinguan, it was already morning. After the young general defending the city saw Yuan Shao's army from afar, he did not stop it, but let them walk under the city smoothly.
After passing through Yinguan City like this, seeing that he was far away from the city, Yan Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Once he had made it, he had become less afraid. What I was worried about before was that the Bingzhou army would not let them cross the city, so it was likely that they would fall into the two-sided attack between the Bingzhou army and the Yellow Turban thieves, and now that they came out, there should be no one to help them.
Yan Liang just breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Weihuang rode a horse behind him and said, "General Yan, is there someone from the state army?" ”
"How many people came?" As soon as he heard that the Bingzhou army had sent someone, Yan Liang was shocked and asked, this is still the territory of Yanmen County after all, and his army is on the march, and yesterday was another night without sleep, and it was the time when he was tired and had no defense.
"It's just that three horses came, and it looks like it should be a scout fast horse." Lu Weihuang clenched his fists and said.
"There are only three riders. Well, looking at it like that, it should have been sent by Jia Xu to ask about things, how is this good, how to answer. Yan Liang was a little sad to himself.
If it is said that fighting on the battlefield, Yan Liang is not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to using his brains, especially the courage to speak with others, he is indeed far from it.
