Chapter 16: Meeting Wuliao Mountain (2)
"Dong Xi, you immediately bring some people to observe and inquire, and see where the grain of the Shanyue tribe is mainly produced." Zhang Lang turned his head to Dong Xi and ordered in a deep voice.
Dong Xi happily received the order, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Zhang Lang pointed to the mountains and rivers with great ambition, and said with a smile: "As soon as Jin Qi goes, Mao Gan is difficult to support alone, and the pacifying mountains and more are already in place, and when the time comes, he can point directly to the Central Plains and win the world." ”
Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Xu Huang's eyes flashed with excitement, and they had a strong desire and impulse, and they all said respectfully: "My subordinates are willing to follow the lord to life and death, and become an immortal hegemon." ”
"Hahaha." Zhang Lang couldn't stop laughing, and there was an irresistible domineering spirit in his voice, which made people succumb.
After returning to the village, Zhang Lang inspected the preparedness of the camp and asked some questions from time to time.
Xu Huang answered one by one on the side, and after getting the answer, Zhang Lang returned satisfied.
At this time, Yang Rong and Zhao Yu were chatting in the tent. Seeing Zhang Lang coming back, Yang Rong took the lead in greeting her, and said coquettishly: "Husband, you came at the right time, Xiaoyu and I are discussing a problem." As he spoke, he wrapped his slender hand around Zhang Langhu's arm tightly, and his plump chest was naturally clinging to his strong arm.
Zhang Lang knew that he couldn't escape, but when he thought of the issue that their women were going to discuss, he couldn't help but feel big, but he still forced out a smile and said, "What kind of question, it must be very interesting, you guys come and hear it?" ”
Yang Rong looked at Zhang Lang's bitter gourd face, and couldn't help but laugh out with a coquettish smile, the whole person was as delicate as a hundred flowers blooming, and said with a smile: "Husband, I didn't take you to the execution ground, why do you keep your face tight and smile." After speaking, he shook Zhang Lang's head with his bare hands.
Zhang Lang grabbed Yang Rong's little hand and said viciously: "Okay, you dare to tease me, don't you believe that I beat your ass?" ”
Yang Rong made a frightened look, and said in a loud voice: "My husband spares his life." ”
Zhang Lang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes narrowed at Yang Rong and said, "It's okay to spare your life, but well, hehe......"
Although Zhang Lang didn't say it explicitly, Yang Rong didn't understand his flowery intestines, so she obediently raised her toes and kissed Zhang Lang lightly on the face, like a dragonfly dotting water.
Where can Zhang Lang have fun, he just wanted to make a large piece of meat, but he saw Yang Rong dodge away lightly, and pretended to be pitiful: "Husband, you haven't listened to our topic yet." ”
Zhang Lang saw that the rabbit was flying, so he sat on the chair next to him angrily, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Say it quickly, I'm listening, see what long story you can say." ”
Yang Rong glanced at Zhang Lang, came to Zhao Yu's side, took her little hand, and then said loudly: "Macho guy, you don't look down on people, Xiaoyu asked me just now, every barbarian soldier of the Shanyue clan is very brave, why doesn't my husband subdue them instead of killing them?" ”
Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect Zhao Yu to ask such a question, looking at their expectant eyes, he couldn't help but put away his slow heart just now, and replied after serious thinking: "Shanyue is stubborn and uncivilized, and his surname is cruel, although I have the heart to accept it, but it is too difficult, and it makes people headache to think about it." ”
Zhao Yu and Yang Rong glanced at each other, and Zhao Yu was very puzzled: "Brother Lang, weren't you very experienced in the past, whoever you want to surrender will surrender, how can you do it now?" ”
Zhang Lang was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, he could only stare at Zhao Yu with strange eyes.
Zhao Yu was smart, couldn't help hiding behind Yang Rong, grabbed her slender hand tightly, and then poked out his cute little head, while sticking out his tongue, he smiled and said: "Brother Lang, you won't be angry, it's really a little belly." ”
Zhang Lang only rolled his eyes angrily, eager to rush up and catch her and "beat" her fiercely.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Lang's appearance, and he didn't know that there was an evil thought in his heart, so he still giggled and said: "Brother Lang, you say, is there any good way, it won't really be no way, right?" ”
Zhang Lang didn't want to weaken his prestige in front of a woman, searched his bones and scraped his intestines, and tried his best to subdue all the foreign battles at home and abroad, the most tempting of which was Zhuge Liang's plan to capture and capture Meng, but he soon denied it, people were fighting at that time, the generals gathered, and Zhuge Liang was full of scheming, although he thought that Guo Jia was not as bad as him, but the former was young and old, and the latter was born with the surname Feiyang and was easy to take risks, and there were some differences in the surname. So what's the best way to do it?
Zhang Lang buried his head in thought, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering an incident during the Three Kingdoms period. It was in the third year of Jiahe in Eastern Wu, and Wu General Zhuge Ke invited himself to Danyang to subdue Shanyue in order to expand the source of troops. Zhuge Ke adopted the policy of using both siege and entrapment by force. send people to guard the valley mouth of the dangerous place, build siege fortifications, and do not fight with Shanyue; He also ordered the soldiers to harvest the ripe rice in the fields. There was no harvest in the new valley of Shanyue, and the old grain was exhausted, and finally it fell due to hunger. Zhuge Ke ordered that the people of Guishun Mountain should not be arrested at will. During the three to six years of Jiahe, it successively subdued as many as 100,000 Shanyue people, and became a direct political control of the people.
The situation of this plan is very similar to the current situation, but the only problem is that Zhuge Ke has shared three years before and after, and can he have so much time?
Seeing Zhang Lang enter deep thought, Zhao Yu didn't dare to disturb, so he could only look at Yang Rong boredly and stuck out his tongue.
"That's right." Zhang Lang, who was in deep thought, suddenly screamed, jumped up from the chair, and shouted with an extremely excited expression.
Yang Rong was also quite happy and said, "What did my husband think of?" ”
Zhang Lang laughed twice, took Yang Rong's hand and said happily: "Zhuge Ke's method of encircling Danyang Mountain back then couldn't be learned and used, but there is also a lot to learn from. ”
Yang Rong was puzzled: "Husband, you also know that I don't know much......"
Zhang Lang patted his forehead, and then said with a smile: "Zhuge Ke used three years to encircle Danyang Shanyue, before he collected 100,000 and formed an army of 40,000. ”
Zhao Yu listened with a look of disbelief, he was frowning just now, he has a way now, this is too godly.
Zhang Lang saw Zhao Yu's face full of suspicion, and his big eyes stared at him, and he couldn't help laughing: "This matter is simple, wait for me to tell you." Our army has begun to block the passages on all sides of Wuliao Mountain, and has begun to send people to harvest the new valley, and is also preparing to spread rumors that your second brother Zhao Yun has broken the enemy army in Linli Mountain in Yixian County, and has come to support it, and has carried enough materials to prepare for a long-term siege of the city. In the meantime, he sent messengers to recruit peace, which was good to shake the enemy's heart. At that time, I don't believe that Shanyue will not give us a scare position. ”
Zhao Yu was amazed when he heard this: "Brother Lang, can this work?" ”
Zhang Lang said confidently: "It will definitely be possible, Zhuge Liang will capture seven times and win seven longitudinal Meng, and convince people with virtue; Zhuge Ke surrounded the mountains and descended to defeat people with strength. Now I, Zhang Lang, have another move, and use both grace and power to win people. ”
Yang Rong was very interested and said, "Husband, explain it." ”
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Wife, this matter is going to talk about psychology." The Shanyue people are brave and aggressive in their own force, and they are swarming when they enter, and they are tidal when they retreat. Now the proud capital, under the suppression of our army, has been defeated again and again, which is an immeasurable blow to them, especially after An Qinshan was broken. In addition, Mao Jie, the number one warrior in the clan, was defeated by Mao Ying, who was only stronger than him but not weaker, which greatly damaged the confidence of the Shanyue tribe and caused a big gap in psychology. Now that their food is cut off again, as long as they are surrounded by force, and induced by grace, the Shanyue tribe will collapse completely, and surrender will become a fact. ”
Yang Rong smiled like a flower and said: "What my husband said is very reasonable." ”
Zhang Lang said: "Of course, don't look at who your husband is." ”
At this time, a guard came to report: "Report to the lord, good news has come from Yixian, General Zhao Yun has won successive battles, and has besieged the main force of the Shanyue Army in Linli Mountain, and is in full swing at this time, preparing for a battle. ”
Zhang Lang's spirits were greatly lifted, his eyes were scorching, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, Zhao Yun really lives up to my expectations." The more peaceful Danyang Mountain is, the more the period can be counted. As long as Jiangnan rests and adjusts for a while, he can step into the Central Plains and show his hegemony. ”
Yang Rong also happily stroked Zhang Langjiao and smiled: "Congratulations to my husband." ”
Zhang Lang patted Yang Rong's tender white face, with an indescribable smug look on his face.
And Zhao Yu also shined, smiling. His brother's victory was as happy as she had won.
Zhao Yu called the person who returned the letter and asked him to explain the whole story in detail.
The messenger didn't dare to slack off, 1510 said it clearly, and Zhao Yu listened to it well, and quickly put Yang Rong and Zhang Lang aside.
Zhang Lang also smiled and listened carefully to the messenger's detailed description of Zhao Yun's actions. I won't list them all here.
Five days later, Dong came back and listened to the news.
Zhang Lang immediately sent Zhu Huan and Dong Xi to lead 3,000 troops each to attack, rushing in front of the enemy army and waiting for the harvest of grain and grass.
When the enemy received the news, they immediately sent troops to support them.
Zhu Huan and Dong Xi did not attack forcibly, but the distribution was quite clear, one was to attack the reinforcements, and the other was to destroy.
Zhu Huan led 3,000 troops to the front, and set up a burial block in the area of Bai Fubo, the road that the Shanyue army must pass, and strive to drag the enemy as much as possible, prevent the Shanyue soldiers from coming up, and give more time for Dong to attack behind.
It was already noon, and Shanyue dispatched nearly 10,000 soldiers to finally march over as expected.
There was a long dragon in front of him, although the sword was sharp in the sun's rays, and it was murderous. However, the army was disorganized, the flags were unknown, and the morale was not high at a glance.
Although Zhu Huan's troops were insufficient, he was not afraid at all, and when they passed through a jungle path, an order was given, and the pikemen stabbed out from all sides. Then Zhu Huan didn't give them a chance to come back to their senses, and took the lead in rushing out, struggling to intercept the enemy fighting, and the Shanyue army soon fell.
On the side of the Jiangdong Army, the murderous spirit is high, and everyone strives to take the lead.
On the other hand, the Shanyue army, without the brave performance at the beginning, all shrunk and did not dare to fight, if it were not for the leader of the army to personally put on the battle, Shanyue would have been defeated and retreated.
After a day and a night of bloody fighting, although the Jiangdong Army fought bravely, it was finally outnumbered and then defeated and retreated. Although Zhu Huan was defeated, he achieved his goal, and while organizing people to constantly harass with his wings, he slowly retreated to the main village.
And Dong Xian had already driven the local Shanyue farmers and a small number of troops in Walo and Qunshu towns when Zhu Huan stepped forward to kill the enemy, and harvested the rice fields if they could, and destroyed the fields if they couldn't, so that the Shanyue kueh grains would be difficult to harvest.
On the third day, when the Shanyue army got rid of Zhu Huan's entanglement and came to support again, the fields were almost destroyed.
This incident greatly touched the Shanyue tribe, and after the successive defeats, the morale of the Shanyue army was low to the bottom, and the morale of the army began to waver. No one had the heart to fight anymore, and the Shanyue army could not keep out, but sent people out from time to time to collect grain and grass and hunt for hunting.
However, the matter was not over yet, and then Zhang Lang spent about a month to roughly complete the strategic deployment of the siege of the mountain. Not only did they set up troops to guard various important passages, build walls and fences, and cut off the external connection of Wuliao Mountain and Shecheng, but also built guard towers, towers, and beacon towers on the top of the outer mountains to closely observe the enemy's every move. Make a frame that intends to enclose the mountain for a long time.
So far, the Shanyue Army's operations have been completely controlled in the area of Wuliao Mountain.
Zhang Lang's move really greatly shook the senior leaders of Shanyue, and there was no longer the courage of the beginning, and the defeat began to breed for a long time, and everyone began to think about the question of survival. Although the Maogan army also organized several counterattacks, every time the Shanyue army and horses moved, they were discovered by the sentinels equipped with telescopes, and they promptly signaled the fireworks to contact each stronghold, closed their strongholds, and resolutely did not fight again. The Shanyue army forcibly attacked several times, and if they were not shot back by random arrows, they would not have been hit by rolling stones and wooden fences.
Mao Gan completely lost his temper, and his face was sad and depressed.
Some of the generals under his command began to be excited, and the morale of the soldiers was even more sluggish.
At this moment, news came from Zhao Yun's side that although the enemy army was trapped in Linli Mountain, the supplies and grain were well prepared, and they took advantage of the terrain to defend the important road without fighting. Cheng Yu organized people to detour from both sides several times, but they were discovered in advance and returned in vain. The Shanyue army only defended and did not fight, and the two of them couldn't do anything for a while, so they had to report to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang thought about it again and again, and felt that Wuliao Mountain Maogan was trapped, and it was a matter of time before he surrendered. It's better to free up manpower to support Zhao Yun. This matter was agreed by Guo Jia and Tian Feng, and then Xu Huang and Dong attacked the two generals, Tian Feng complemented each other, and continued to surround Wuliao Mountain, only defending without fighting. He picked out 3,000 elite soldiers and drove to Qianxian overnight to support Zhao Yun.
