Chapter 323: Fraudulent Surrender
"Report ——!! there is a general of the country outside for a week, with a few cronies, saying that he has come to take refuge!"
"Oh?" Ning Ze smiled when he heard this, "Bring it in!"
A short time later, his men entered the tent with a wounded general.
The general's face was covered with whip marks, and he looked particularly miserable, and it was difficult to walk, so he could only rely on the support of his cronies.
The group was very embarrassed, as if they had tried their best to escape.
Coming to Ning Ze, the general knelt down with the support of his cronies, bowed his head and said, "Foreign Minister Zhou Ya, meet King Danyang!"
【Military General】Zhou Ya, male, 42 years old
【Affiliation】Zhou State【Loyalty】97【Official Position】General Jianwei
[Stamina] 26 (90) [Brawn] 83
[Intelligence] 77 [Politics] 70
[Command] 72 [Rende] 69
Class: Spearman A, Infantry A, Cavalry B
[Stunt] Virtue Lv4, Mighty Lv2, Weapon Lv3, God Speed Lv5, Battle Lv6
This person's attributes are okay, force, intelligence, politics, and command are all around seventy or eighty, and his loyalty is 97 points, which shows that he is absolutely loyal to Tang Niu.
Ning Ze squinted his eyes and looked at a few cronies around him, who were also loyal to Tang Niu.
Seeing Zhou Ya's miserable appearance, he asked: "What is the matter when the general comes to Gu's side? Could it be that he was ordered by the puppet emperor Tang Niu to pass a message to Gu as an envoy?"
Zhou Ya buckled his head and replied: "Lord Wang, the foreign minister asks himself to be loyal to Tang Niu. Tang Niu's house was defeated repeatedly in the hands of the prince, and he was so angry that he returned to the camp and whipped his subordinates. The foreign minister couldn't look past it and admonished him face to face. Unexpectedly, the guy didn't listen, but whipped the minister. If it weren't for the great fate of the foreign minister, I am afraid that he would have died in Huangquan now! How could such a mediocre lord be able to support him? The foreign minister expected that Tang Niu's family was not the opponent of the prince, so he came to take refuge and begged the prince to take refuge! The foreign minister is willing to die for the prince, and only asks him to defeat Tang Niu one day and hand this person over to the foreign minister to deal with in person, so as to avenge today's revenge!"
"Why do you believe you?" asked Ning Ze.
"Lord Wang, please look!" Zhou Ya asked his cronies to untie their clothes, revealing shocking whip marks all over their bodies.
Apparently he had just been severely whipped, and he was beaten to death, and he could barely see the intact skin on his body, which was very miserable.
When a large number of Ning Ze's generals saw this scene, they all showed shocked and sympathetic expressions.
"Lord, the foreign minister asked himself and did his best to serve Tang Niu, and he never complained. Who knew that he didn't appreciate it, and regarded the ministers as pigs and dogs, beating and scolding at will. How can a foreign minister accept such humiliation? The foreign minister hates Tang Niu very much and sincerely surrenders to him. The prince doesn't believe it, and the minister is willing to tell Tang Niu's military situation completely!"
"Then you write it down!" Ning Ze waved his hand and asked his subordinates to send pen and paper.
Zhou Ya, supported by his cronies, trembled and described the layout of Tang Niu's military camp and the detailed military situation.
What he writes is half-truthful and deceptive, and others will believe it.
But Ning Ze has a system, and he is not so easy to deceive. The layout of Tang Niu's army can be seen clearly through the virtual map, and there are problems in several important locations depicted by Zhou Ya, and he is clear about it.
As for Tang Niu's military situation, it was also mixed with truth and falsehood, and after taking a look, Ning Ze had no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that it would be better to expose Zhou Ya in person, behead him and deter Tang Niu, or leave him behind?
The other party's methods were too trivial in his opinion, but they just let Zhou Ya pretend to surrender and blend in with his own army as an internal response.
After Zhou Ya handed over the half-truths and half-truths of the military information, he looked at Ning Ze with apprehension.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Ze nodded: "General Zhou is full of sincerity, and it is extremely wise to be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! With the help of the general, it is easier to defeat Tang Niu! ”
"Wow!" his subordinates immediately came over and took Zhou Ya for treatment.
After careful diagnosis and treatment by military doctors, Zhou Ya's condition was much better.
Ning Ze summoned his subordinates to formulate a strategy, and specially asked someone to push Zhou Ya over in a wheelchair.
After Zhou Ya came over, he was grateful: "The prince treated the injuries of the foreign ministers, and ordered the foreign ministers to participate in the military and political affairs, so trusting, the foreign ministers are grateful, and they will go all out and do their best to give advice to the prince!"
"Wrong!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Since General Zhou has surrendered to Gu, he will be my Dahua official in the future." That is, a Dahua official, he should call himself a subordinate official rather than a foreign minister. Secondly, you are serving the Empress Dahua, not Lonely!"
"The prince taught, and the lower officials remembered it!" Zhou Ya hurriedly changed his words.
"That's right!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "General Zhou is very familiar with the enemy army, and it will be more beneficial to have you join in this strategy." ”
"Xia Guan must have no reservations!" Zhou Ya hurriedly replied.
Casual conversation and quick to get to the point.
Ning Ze said to the generals: "Although our army has won many victories, it is still quite risky to enter the territory of Chizhou at this moment. The Tang Niu army occupies a favorable geographical position, and as long as it fights steadily, it will be difficult for our army to gain an advantage. What's more, at this moment, the armies of Lu Cheng and Ma Jian are attacking the central and southern directions of our country respectively, and the situation is critical. There is no room for negligence at this moment, and there can be no mistakes. Now that he has the advantage, Tang Niu must have thought that our army would take advantage of the victory to attack and continue to chase after him. However, in a lonely opinion, our army made a strong offensive on the surface, and first frightened Tang Niu so that he did not dare to move. Then slowly retreat to the pass, mainly guarding! During this period, it must not be seen through by Tang Niu's army, so as to avoid the onslaught of the opponent's army. In short, before the enemy army reacts, quickly retreat to the pass to avoid accidents!"
"The prince is reasonable!" Liang Teng said, "Our army is too far out of the customs, and the backup is insufficient. The previous few times were raids, winning more with less, so that Tang Niujun couldn't figure out the situation. If Tang Niu learns that our army is small, it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by a large army, which is extremely bad!"
"That's exactly the reason!" Ning Ze nodded, "Therefore, before the enemy finds out the strength of our army, pretend to attack to deceive the other party, and quickly withdraw to the pass to avoid extraneous branches!"
"Lord Wang, the last general is willing to lead the troops to break the ......"
Zhou Ya listened to Ning Ze discussing with the soldiers, and was quite surprised in his heart.
It turned out that the opponent had very few troops out of the customs, and the first few times they were all designed to raid, which caused their own side to fall into chaos, so they naturally had no time to take care of too much. If you knew in advance that Ning Ze had few soldiers, you could completely stabilize the soldiers and horses, and in turn encircle and suppress the other party!
At present, the other party is worried about being recognized, and is ready to make an offensive posture and take the opportunity to evacuate. How can you let go of such a good opportunity?
As long as His Majesty leads a large army to attack him, it is very likely to surround Ning Ze and wipe out his main force!
Huaguo is dominated by Ning Ze, if he is taken down, this force will basically come to an end!
That's a great achievement!
Zhou Ya felt that he had gained the trust of the enemy with bitter tricks and true and false intelligence, and that he had found out such an important military situation, and he must inform His Majesty as soon as possible.
However, he still played the role of the meeting with all his heart, and consciously did not show his legs.
When it was time to rest, he hurriedly called a close confidant and handed over the secret letter that he had secretly written: "Listen, don't be discovered!
"Whoa!" the cronies hid the letters, left the tent and carefully avoided the patrols, went to a remote corner to take out the carrier pigeons, tied the letters to their feet, and threw them out.
The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew away, leaving the Ningze military camp and flying in the direction of Wuquan Peak.
Wuquan Peak Tang Niu Camp.
"Report ——!!" The messenger hurriedly entered the camp tent and handed the letter to Tang Niu, "General Zhou's secret letter!"
Tang Niu took the secret letter and told him to step down.
Mei Xu hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty, what is written in the letter?"
"Prime Minister read it to me!" Tang Niu handed the secret letter to Mei Xu.
Mei Xu opened the secret letter and looked at it first, and then read: "Your Majesty personally enlightened, the minister has gained Ning Ze's trust and blended into the enemy camp. Ning Ze saw that his ministers were wounded, and he had real and false military information, and he treated his ministers very well. Today's military discussion actually allowed the ministers to participate in it. The minister learned that Ning Ze had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass, and he relied on surprise attacks before, which made our army chaotic and difficult to distinguish the strength. Now he was worried that His Majesty would lead troops to surround him, and he was afraid that the situation in the central and southern directions would be critical, so he decided to withdraw to the Guannai. Ning Ze wanted to order the whole army to fake an offensive, so that His Majesty did not dare to march, and then slowly retreated. Such a good opportunity must not be missed, Your Majesty should prepare as soon as possible, lead the army to surround it, or capture Ning Ze!"
Hearing this, Tang Niu was overjoyed: "I see! Ning Ze is really cunning, if it weren't for General Zhou's adventure to sneak in, I would be tricked by him again! Prime Minister, immediately gather troops and horses to make full preparations, pursue Ning Ze tomorrow, and let him come and go!"
"Wow!" Mei Xu didn't doubt it, because he knew Zhou Ya's loyalty very well, and it was impossible for him to rebel. Since he played the news, the note is very sure!
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Niu's soldiers and horses were reorganized, and the whole army immediately set out and marched in the direction of the Ningze military camp.
Ning Zejun really went on the offensive.
It's just that when Tang Niu's soldiers and horses arrived, they found that the other party was crushed with one blow, and they had no combat power at all.
This confirmed that Zhou Ya's intelligence was true, and Ning Ze's main force had begun to retreat, and it must be stopped before he fled back to the pass.
So he ordered the army to pursue.
chased all the way to Anzhong Fort, and sure enough, the front saw Ning Ze's army slowly retreating.
Tang Niu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is marching quickly, don't let Ning Ze escape!"
The army gave chase, and soon caught up.
Ning Ze turned around and set up a formation and confronted Tang Niujun.
Tang Niu stepped forward and said loudly, "Ning Ze, where are you going?"
Ning Ze laughed and drove forward: "Tang Niu, you have been tricked!"
"Scheme?" Tang Niu sneered when he heard this, "Don't lie and deceive me, with your little strength, you will die here today!
Ning Ze smiled, raised his hand and ordered: "Signal!"
Two fireworks were released in the "Xiu ——!!" army, which resounded in the sky.
Flags appeared all over the mountains around the "Killing ——!!", and the unknown number of Ning Ze's soldiers and horses were slaughtered in a mighty manner, forming an encirclement with Ning Ze's main force, and slowly gathering.
"W-Why is this?" Tang Niu was shocked.
"Your Majesty, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses around!" Mei Xu's face changed drastically, "The situation is not good!"
"Impossible! impossible!" Tang Niu shouted in a panic, "How is this possible?"
"What, surprised?" Ning Ze squinted and smiled, "This is thanks to General Zhou Ya, he has defected to Dahua and set up this situation for Lonely, and he wants to exchange his head for battle merits!" Tang Niu, see where you are fleeing!"
