Chapter 41: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity
In the dark, inside the city wall of Yewang County, the patrols were fully equipped and could go up to the city wall at any time. And the dragon and tiger are even more armored, leading the war horse and waiting in the city wall, guarding the city wall to fight hand-to-hand combat, attacking and rushing out of the city gate.
Standing at the head of the ruined city of Yewang County shrouded in darkness, Lu Chen looked at the lights of the camp outside the city, and his heart was full of excitement.
At this moment, he seemed to have found the golden finger that dominated the party in this troubled world. It's not the evil old man who hides in the ring and peeps at the protagonist and the heroine, nor is it the inheritance of the virgin grandmaster's 10,000-year-old child's skill, and it's not a win-win-lose system that is awesome and shining. It's a very small thing - discreet! Be cautious!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a great era when demons were rampant and the stars were shining, and any proud and arrogant people were stupid and would die without a place to be buried, such as the Yuan brothers, Dong Zhuo, and even Lu Bu.
Lu Chen was very lucky, since he came to the Three Kingdoms, he has always had a humble heart, and he never dared to underestimate the heroes of the world, so he struggled to survive. Never despise the opponent, never let down the vigilance, never let yourself be passive, cautious, and well-prepared, this is Lu Chen's trump card.
Lu Chen knew that his martial arts were not as good as his father Lu Bu, and his wisdom was not as good as the ghost Guo Jia, however, Lu Bu was captured by Cao Cao, and Guo Jia also became Lu Chen's prisoner, why? It stands to reason that neither Lu Bu in Baimenlou nor Guo Jia outside the city of Xiapi Wang will necessarily be captured, only because they were careless at the time! Lu Chen remembered Zhuge Liang. Kong Ming is not as wise as the romance says, and Zhuge is only cautious in his life! Therefore, Zhuge Wuhou came out of Qishan seven times, but he never had a big defeat.
Sun Tzu once said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, isn't this a kind of extreme prudence?
It was precisely because of caution that Lu Chen was afraid that Zhang Yang's generals would find out that Zhang Yang was no longer in the camp, or that something would happen, so he would let Zhang Gu go out of the city to the camp to cover up, knowing that Zhang Gu was not smart enough, so he sent his attendant Lu Zhan to follow.
Seeing Zhang Gu and Lu Zhan riding out of the city, Zhang Yang was on top of the city tower, standing next to Lu Chen and rubbing his hands, a little anxious.
On the other side of Lu Chen was Chen Gong, who smiled and said to Zhang Yang: "Da Sima is relieved, there is no danger in Zhong Wang's going." Bo Dynasty is strategic, I can't do it, since Bo Chao made Zhong Wang go to the camp, naturally there is a perfect strategy. ”
After saving the emperor and returning to the east, Zhang Yang was named the general of Anguo, Jin Yanghou, and the great Sima, which is logically above Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Mr. Gongtai's words are wrong, Yang Fei is concerned about the safety of the dog, but he is really worried about the changes in the army." The officers and soldiers in the army have followed me Zhang Yang for a long time, Yang is incompetent, but he can't bear to destroy their lives! ”
Chen Gong solemnly sighed: "Da Sima is really benevolent, and the palace is ashamed of himself as good as ......"
Then, these two guys began to sigh for a long time, from the lives of the soldiers in Zhang Yang's camp to the people in dire straits, it was quite speculative. With the defection of Yang Chougu and other generals, Zhang Yang's control over his subordinates has almost completely lost, and he can only regain control of the army unless these powerful figures die.
Half an hour ago, Chen Gong, with the help of the inside line of the bribe, successfully overturned Changshi Xue Hong. Then, Zhang Yang suddenly killed, took over the power of ordnance and grain control from Xue Hong's subordinates, and with the help of Long Xiang, purged Xue Hong's diehards. Then, the city gate was closed, and the city gates and city walls on all sides were guarded by soldiers and horses, and the city was under control.
Since then, Zhang Yangcai and Chen Gong came to the city tower together, found Lu Chen, and was about to ask about a detailed plan, but seeing Lu Chen biting his nails, his face was ugly and thinking, and he was silent for a long time, so they were embarrassed to ask. After all, one is the boss of Hanoi, and the other is a strategist and military advisor, such a big crisis, the two of them didn't notice it in advance, it was already embarrassing enough, and now, the change is about to happen, they are not very thorough, and they are indeed a little unable to erase the old face.
Lu Chen quietly retreated, letting the two of them continue to brag nonsense, leaning against the women's wall and thinking about it wrapped in a cloak, he always felt that his arrangement seemed to be a little insufficient. Only Lu Chen himself knows that he has no perfect strategy, and no one's strategy can be foolproof, so Lu Chen arranged a lot of back-up hands and took all the situations he could think of into account.
It's just that what are the shortcomings, but it's not something that Lu Chen can think of when he thinks about it, he just has some hair in his heart and is very unstable.
After a long time, Lu Chen still couldn't figure it out, but he thought of a support soldier, no matter what loopholes his own arrangements had, as long as his own strength was stronger, he would always be more sure. Therefore, he called Zhang Yang over and said, "Uncle, write to King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu immediately, asking him to send cavalry to help Hanoi, hurry!" ”
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided into two branches, the north and the south, and the northern Xiongnu were defeated by the Han and the Southern Xiongnu, and most of them fled to the Western Regions. After the Southern Xiongnu were annexed, they have been living in the south of the Hetao, that is, Xiheshang County and other places, and they are bordering Hanoi.
With the relationship between Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, but now that Yu Fuluo is dead, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and he did not bird Zhang Yang at all. Fortunately, Liu Bao, the son of Fu Luo, has a good relationship with Zhang Yang, and Liu Bao is in Xihe County with the Tuge Department, so it is not difficult to ask for reinforcements at all, but the difficulty is speed, which is to blame Lu Chen for remembering too late.
However, if there were no loopholes in Lu Chen's arrangement, the Hun cavalry would not be needed.
Zhang Liao walked up to the city tower, hugged his fists and said to Lu Chen: "Yu Xiaojun, the dragon and tiger array are complete, and you can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time." The quality of the patrol is too weak, and the number is small, but it is still somewhat helpful to defend the city. When will they go up to the city to garrison? ”
Lu Chen said: "Don't rush up, so as not to be noticed by people outside the city." Make rice, add more meat, let the dragon and tiger eat and drink enough to recuperate, and feed the horses with concentrate, to ensure that at least one person and two war horses are equipped. The patrolmen can't eat, so let them demolish the nearest house first, prepare thunder stones and rolling wood, carry arrows, find firewood, build a stove to boil water, and give them food before going to the city at midnight! ”
Zhang Liao promised to step back.
Outside the city.
Zhang Yangjun's camp, Zhang Gu rode a horse and took Lu Zhan into the camp, went straight to Zhang Yang's tent, and scolded along the way, saying that Lu Chen was arrogant and injured his nose. Lu Zhan rode a thin horse and followed behind, shouting while confessing.
Half of the military camp knew that Zhang Gu went into the city to protect Lu Chen, but Lu Chen smashed the bridge of his nose and came back to find Zhang Yang crying nose.
When he came to Zhang Yang's big tent, Zhang Gu found that several of the pro-soldiers guarding outside the tent were still his father's pro-soldiers. Only in this way can he not reveal flaws, Zhang Gu had to smile bitterly and praise in his heart: Bo Chao is a good means.
When the two pro-soldiers saw Zhang Gu, they turned their heads away unnaturally.
These people are no longer Zhang Gu's father's personal soldiers, but Lu Chen's bait. Zhang Gu knew that it was the two-pronged effect of the gold and knives of the Bo Dynasty, thinking about this, Zhang Gu was inexplicably a little unhappy, why were these people not loyal at all? The really loyal has already been secretly killed by Yang Chou's people, didn't he hear that a relative soldier died of illness a few days ago? And not moved by the threat of gold and knives, and obsessively biased towards Yang Chou and others, they were probably solved by Lu Chen's people, leaving only these soft eggs.
Opening the big tent, Zhang Gu saw Gao Shun and several other fallen soldiers digging pits next to Zhang Yang's couch and burying some jars containing gray-black powder. In addition, there were five of Zhang Yang's own soldiers, who dug pits in the tent to bury the four personal soldiers who were killed, and Zhang Zhai was among the four corpses.
Zhang Gu had probably heard of this thing called gunpowder and knew that its power was amazing, so he was stunned for a moment of curiosity.
Lu Zhan reminded: "Childe, call! Shout! ”
Zhang Gu was taken aback, and said with a bitter face: "I've been calling all the way, my voice is hoarse, and I'm still calling after I enter the account?" ”
Lu Zhan said: "Xiao Junhou said, when you enter the big tent, you have to scream even more violently, like a mourner, you have to be unrestrained!" Be coquettish! I want Yami Butterfly! ”
As he spoke, Lu Zhan suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked it on the bridge of Zhang Gu's injured nose, Zhang Gu screamed miserably: "Wow...... Yikes! Yikes! Daddy! Lu Chen's child deceived people too much...... Who made my dad drunk? Wake up my father! I was beaten by Lu Chen, and I want to lead troops into the city to take revenge! ”
Gao Shun and the others turned their heads in horror, glanced at Zhang Gu, turned around and continued to bury gunpowder carefully.
Far outside the tent, in the shadows.
One person instructed his subordinates: "Go back and report to the general, Zhang Yang was indeed drunk by Zhang Liao in the afternoon, our person is Zhang Yang's close minister, and he must have been dragged by Zhang Yang and couldn't get out." Let the general prepare the manpower quickly, Zhang Yang is drunk and unconscious, it is a godsend! ”
