Chapter 6: Soldiers Do Not Tire of Deception (II)
Xun You spent nine years and two tigers to finally leave Pang Tong behind.
Before it was over, Xia Houyuan watched Pang Tong go away proudly, and couldn't help but doubt for a while: "Lord Xun, do you believe in this Pang Tong so much?" Will it be a fraud? ”
Xun You had completely calmed down, his brain began to run rapidly, and he said with a calm face: "Whether there is fraud or not, we can't guess for a while, but send a spy to investigate, and the matter will soon come to light." ”
Xiahou Yuan remembered Pang Tong's sharp words, with a disdainful expression, he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "This person is very rude. ”
Xun You smiled slightly and said: "It is precisely because of his unreasonableness that I began to believe that Pang Tong really came to join us." From ancient times to the present, where have the people who have come to deceive and surrender are so high-flying and domineering, and they cannot live forever? If it is not the surname of heaven, it is arrogant. ”
Xiahou Yuan sneered and said, "If I find that this Pang Tong is a little different, I will be the first to cut off his head." ”
Xun You smiled indifferently and began to discuss with Xiahou Yuan what Pang Tong said.
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the appointment between Pang Tong and Cheng Yu was less than ten days left.
Occasionally, Xun You would come to see Pang Tong, and then leave in a hurry. Who can't talk about being left out in the cold, and it's also a matter of not being reused. And Pang Tong doesn't seem to care at all, he is still chic and free, every time he talks about beautiful women and delicacies, he can't think about it, as if the sky has nothing to do with him.
This day, Pang Tong indulged in wine and fell asleep drunk. In the Lixia City Mansion, Xiahou Yuan and Xun You's faces were very ugly.
Xun You's expression was very solemn and said: "The spies have confirmed that the Jiangdong Army now has an army of about 3,000 men and horses, escorting a batch of supplies to Tai'an. According to the observation of the spies, this is not grain and grass, but a very strange bow cart, the cart is like a huge bed, like a bow full of arcs, and it is personally escorted by the general Ding Feng, which shows that this batch of materials is not trivial. If you are not mistaken, it should be the strong ballista that Pang Tong said. If Gao Shun is allowed to get the support of this batch of ballistas, I am afraid that it will greatly increase the difficulty of our army. ”
Xiahou Yuan said with doubts on his face: "Even if it is really a strong crossbow car, whether the power is as Pang Tong said, it is also worth discussing." ”
Xun You said seriously: "When it comes to this, it is better to believe it than to believe that it is not." Be prepared, and things won't go wrong. If it is really as Pang Tong said, then isn't our army completely disrupted? ”
Xiahou Yuan was a little arrogant and said: "Lord Cao has already gone to Jibei, and the vanguard Zhang He has also led his troops across the water, and he can join our army in less than two days, which was originally a good time to start the attack, but now that Pang Tong said this, I can't try the depth of the strong ballista, how dare I attack rashly?" ”
Xun You pondered: "Why don't you invite Pang Tong to come and see what countermeasures he has?" ”
Xiahou Yuan replied and said categorically: "There is no need to do this. ”
Xun You smiled and said: "The general doesn't have to be like this, it's just a reference, why take it so seriously." ”
Only then did Xiahou Yuan agree.
When he was young, the guards entered the city with the confused Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's hair is messy, his eyes are red, he smells of alcohol, and his image is sloppy.
Xiahou Yuanjian's brows furrowed, and his face was unhappy, but he held back his anger and looked at Pang Tong coldly.
Xun You saw that he was unkempt, and he also shook his head secretly, Pang Tong is talented, but he is too self-conscious. Xun You pretended to smile and said, "Is Mr. Pang satisfied?" ”
Pang Tong's eyes were cloudy, and he said with a blank expression: "So free, of course I am satisfied." ”
Xun You didn't want to say anything more, so he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Pang, do you remember the strong ballista you said last time?" ”
Pang Tong was puzzled and said: "What kind of strong ballista, did I say it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and after looking at each other, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "It's the strong ballista that the Jiangdong Army has studied." ”
Pang Tong continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Yes, why don't I know?" ”
Xun You is considered a person with a strong surname, but Xiahou Yuan was angry and said like thunder: "What a Pang Tong villager, don't you know what to do, believe it or not, I cut you." ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he suddenly straightened his waist, his expression was like a different person, where was there a dizzy look, and his eyes sparkled: "What's the joy of a husband?" Why be afraid of death? It's only been half a decade since I came here, and every time I have nothing to do, I can only borrow wine to kill my sorrows, and I can't be comfortable with my ambitions, so if I go on like this, I will end up depressed sooner or later, and it is not as refreshing as Xiahou Yuan's knife. ”
Xun You only then understood the origin of Pang Tong's popularity, it turned out that it was to blame Xiahou Yuan for neglecting and not reusing him, the stone in his heart couldn't help falling, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang don't be angry, I invite you to come this time, I just want to discuss big things with you." ”
Pang Tong sneered and said, "Is it the kind that runs out and kicks away with another leg?" ”
Xiao is Xun Yu is scheming, and when he heard the words, he also said with a displeased face: "What did Mr. Pang say?" ”
Pang Tong shook his head and said indifferently: "I knew that I would still go to Zhang Lang, and I would like to be a local parent official." ”
Xun You was speechless, but a trace of murderous intent flashed in Xiahou Yuan's eyes.
Pang Tong suddenly raised his head and said proudly: "You called me this time, you should want to know the way to crack the strong ballista." ”
Seeing that he was also interested, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but snort coldly, and his face softened a little.
Pang Tong still sneered: "Actually, it's simple, the only weakness of this kind of fire nitrate is sticky water, if it is rainy, the power of fire nitrate will be greatly reduced, and there is a dumb fire." But even so, you can't do anything, I don't think it will rain every day, or they will stupidly take a few buckets and say that they will wet them all. ”
Xun Yu fell together, happy that he knew the weakness of the fire, and even if he knew this weakness, he was worried that there was nothing to do for a while.
Pang Tong continued: "To be honest, I can't do anything about this thing. You can do it yourself. After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
Xun You chased and said, "Where is Mr. Pang going?" ”
Pang Tongtou didn't reply: "I drank too much wine today, my head is a little dizzy, and I am ready to go back to rest." ”
Watching Pang Tong leave, Xun Yu smiled bitterly, while Xiahou Yuan was furious in his heart.
Seeing this, Xun You comforted: "General, you don't have to be angry, this person is not nothing, at least not to let us know the weakness of the strong ballista?" ”
Xiahou Yuan was still angry: "It's not the same as not saying it." What kind of system does this Pang Tong become, if I can destroy Gao Shun, the first person I want to kill is him. ”
Xun You didn't want to fight with Xiahou Yuan, and pondered: "General, let's get down to business first, since the only weakness of this strong ballista can't be controlled by us, then the plan for now is to intercept it halfway while they haven't yet transported it into Tai'an City, and detain the strong ballista as already there." ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest: "Yes, this idea is good." ”
"But it's not easy to do it at all. This material is so respected, Gao Shun will inevitably send heavy troops to meet it, and it is not easy to get it. Xun You said worriedly.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan's ability as a general began to show, and he said confidently: "We only need to choose an entry point, survey the terrain and environment, and then send a man to ambush in advance, as soon as Ding Feng's escort team appears, we will immediately ambush it." In order to prevent Gao Shun from getting reinforcements, on the one hand, I will send a large army to attack Tai'an, in order to lead Gao Shun's main force, and then send a general to lead the troops to cut off the reinforcement route, so that Ding Feng will fall into a lonely combat situation. ”
Xun You reminded: "Don't forget the 10,000 troops of Tai Shici in Juping County. ”
Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "Lord Xun is in charge of himself, rest assured, I have already made up my mind that I can let Zhang He lead 10,000 horses and invade Juping. ”
Xun You smiled slightly and sighed: "If ten years ago, the general would not have been so courageous. ”
Xiahou Yuan smiled happily: "Indeed, Master Cao's soldiers are in Jibei, and Zhang He's 20,000 vanguard troops have entered the tun calendar, which gives me greater capital and confidence." Now is finally the time for our army to begin a counterattack. NND's, I've been really depressed lately. In the end, Xia Hou, who was a general, couldn't help but burst out to show his dissatisfaction.
Xun Yu smiled slightly, he had never worried about Xiahou Yuan's talent in this regard.
Three days later, Xiahou Yuan began to secretly transfer troops and send generals, the pioneer Zhang He knew that Tai Shici, the general of Juping, was a famous general in Jiangzhong, and he was very excited after receiving the order, and he couldn't wait to lead 10,000 horses to Juping, preparing to fight Tai Shici; And Xiahou Yuan personally led 20,000 horses, pressed into Tai'an, and fought to the death with Gao Shun's main force; At the same time, he also ordered the young general Le Lin to lead 10,000 troops, ready to go, ready to ambush to help; In the end, he sent his henchman Xiahou Shang to lead another 10,000 horses to sneak in secretly and ambush Ding Feng's troops. Only Xun You and 10,000 horses were left to defend the city. After everything was prepared, except for Xiahou Yuan's troops, the other roads began to set off secretly.
Pang Tong lowered the curtains, Xiahou Yuan's army disappeared into his eyes, a sneer appeared on his unfathomable face, and he said to himself: "Finally can't help but do it?" "Since Pang Tong arrived in Xiahou Yuan's camp, he has indulged in lust and wine every time, and spent all his time drinking, of course, this is just for Xiahou Yuan to see, to make them think that they are just ambitious and talented, drunk, and indifferent to the military, which invisibly reduces Xiahou Yuan's suspicion, which makes his plan a great benefit.
Pang Tong's eyes involuntarily glanced towards the door, and four extremely fat men were standing there looking at them meticulously.
A disdainful expression flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and he thought secretly: Isn't it time to stop me now, just because you guys still want to stop me? Pang Tong thought about it, took out a birdcage from the back room, and took out a carrier pigeon and released it in the sky while they were not paying attention to the outside.
After the pigeon is free, it spreads its wings and flies high, which is the direction of Tai'an.
Pang Tong looked at the pigeons that took off, and his mouth once again showed a smug look. There is actually nothing on the pigeon, but it is written as a "three", which means to implement the third set of plans.
Pang Tong is not a god, but there are also places where he is elusive, Xiahou Yuan's military aircraft secretary is impossible for him to know, but he is still clear about the transfer of several troops, for him, the transfer of Xiahou Yuan's troops is a big step towards victory, especially when Cao Bin's troops are still in Jibei. Although Xiahou Yuan's troops were secretly operating, he had a very good idea of what they were doing, but the so-called third set of plans was just a hypothetical idea in advance, and this kind of ability to plan the overall situation and know it well did have skills that others could not grasp.
Taean City.
In the city hall, the generals lined up in two rows in good spirits.
The prelude to the big war, the silence was abnormal, and every soldier felt that the mountain wind was coming, and quietly waited for Gao Shun to give orders.
After Gao Shun glanced at it, he said in a deep voice: "The spies have already arrived, and the Cao army has begun to dispatch in batches, and the target is the materials that Ding Feng has suppressed. This batch of materials is very important, it is a new type of weapon recently developed by the lord, Xiahou Yuan is determined to win this time, can you prepare for a fierce battle? ”
"It's done." All the soldiers echoed loudly, and the momentum was magnificent.
Gao Shun said with satisfaction: "Xiahou Yuan's army has already left for Tai'an, only fifty miles away from the city, and the vanguard Xiahou Wei has led five thousand men and horses to kill. Xiahou Wei is the son of Xiahou Yuan, this person is eight feet tall, his arm strength is outstanding, and his martial arts are extraordinary. ”
"The last will go." As soon as Gao Shun's voice fell, a tiger general took a step forward and shouted loudly.
Gao Shun looked at him urgently, it was Zhang Hu, and he said with a relieved expression: "Okay, you immediately order 3,000 men and horses to go to battle, if the first battle weakens the prestige of our army, I only ask you." Speaking of the back, Gao Shun said sternly.
Zhang Hu took the order flag and shouted with bare muscles: "The last general will not disgrace the general's mission." After saying that, he strode out to order troops.
Gao Shun shouted: "Ding Feng's escort of ordnance cannot be lost, who is willing to go to meet it?" ”
"My subordinates are willing to go." Tai Shi Xiang saw Zhang Hu take the lead, and hurriedly grabbed the voice.
Gao Shun took a deep look at Tai Shixiang, and said indifferently: "You lead 3,000 men and horses to go, if you are trapped by Cao Bing, you must not panic, and you must not fall in love with the war, you can only run in the direction of Mount Tai, I have my own clever plan to help you." ”
Tai Shiheng said calmly: "The general is confident, and his subordinates should fight with all their might." ”
Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you go, but you should be careful." ”
Tai Shi Heng strutted with his head held high, without a trace of fear on his face.
After Tai Shiheng left, Gao Shun quickly retracted his gaze and said loudly: "Tan Xiong." ”
"The end will be." With a drink, a slender but energetic lieutenant stepped out.
Gao Shun said coldly: "You can lead 3,000 men and horses to lie between Mount Tai, if you find that there is a defeated army of Taishi Heng going in your direction, you can only do this...... Such and such. ”
Tan Xiong responded excitedly and turned to leave.
Later, Gao Shun ordered Yanping, Zhang Jin and other generals to order actions one by one.
