Chapter Twenty-Six: Plotting to Capture Xiahou Yuan (2)
"I don't dare to have a clever plan, but I have seen Xiahou Yuan's fiery temper, and I think they have also received the news that Cao Yuan's reinforcements have arrived in three days, so that with Xiahou Yuan's surname, our army will fight again this time, and I am afraid that it will open the city to fight." Pang Tong said.
Zhou Yuruo pondered and said, "Mr. means to take Xiahou Yuan first?" ”
"Yes, the most important thing in a troop is the soul, that is, morale, if there is no morale, there is no hope of defeating the opponent." Pang Tong smiled.
"Take Xiahou Yuan first to strike a blow to the morale of Cao's army, and then capture Luoyang?" Zhou Yu asked to himself.
After hearing this, Pang Tong replied: "Exactly! As long as Xiahou Yuan is taken, Luoyang will already be in the bag! ”
"Haha...... I'm worried that I can't do it, but God helps me! Zhou Yu laughed.
Tai Shici took the lead, clasped his fists in front of the generals and said to Zhou Yu: "The last general is willing to lead the army to take Xiahou Yuan." Please ask the governor to promise the last general to fight. ”
Zhou Yu nodded, looked at Pang Tong on the side, and after Pang Tong also nodded, Zhou Yu helped up Tai Shi Ci: "I believe that General Tai Shi will definitely be able to take Xiahou Yuan." It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. General, don't worry! "Yes, among the troops led by Zhou Yu, I am afraid that the only one who can confront Xiahou Yuan is Tai Shi Ci.
The generals retired or, Zhou Yucai and Pang Tong had a question on the details of the evening, and Pang Tong opened his mouth first: "How does the governor plan to lead out Xiahou Yuan?" ”
Zhou Yu thought for a moment before saying: "It is rumored that Xiahou Yuan is reckless, but in my opinion, this person is reckless, and he will not be so brainless, right?" Therefore, I want General Tai Shici to lead 40,000 troops to call the battle, lure out Xiahou Yuan and then take it. ”
Pang Tong smiled: "Haha...... The governor is really powerful, and it coincides with the idea of unification! ”
Zhou Yu would never doubt Pang Tong's ability, although he had never seen this person, but the military advisor that Zhang Lang arranged for himself was definitely not a simple character. Moreover, in a short period of time, he entered the group of senior staff of Zhang Lang's group army, and this matter was by no means something that ordinary people could do.
"Haha...... Mr. has won the prize. The troops we usually send out are all newly recruited conscripts from the lord, and this time with Xiahou Yuan's regular army as a town, of course, we can't use conscripts, and if Xiahou Yuan sees that the troops are regular troops, I'm afraid they won't dare to go out of the city to fight, so I want to form two forces of 40,000 horses, 20,000 conscripts and 20,000 regular troops, and use the conscripts to lure Xiahou Yuan out of the city first, and then let Tai Shici lead the army to take it down. Zhou Yu continued.
"Yes, although Xiahou Yuan is reckless, he is definitely not stupid. To be on the safe side, you should do it! Pang Tong pondered: "However, I think it is ......."
"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"That's right, in the past two days, we have sent 10,000 to 20,000 horses, if there are suddenly so many more people and horses, I estimate that Xiahou Yuan may not leave the city. It's better to ......," said Pang Tong, who already had a smile on his face.
At this time, dusk has quietly fallen. However, Pang Tong in Zhou Yu's tent was planning how to draw out Xiahou Yuan, and it was about to be the time for the next attack. If the time is missed, I am afraid that it will arouse Xiahou Yuan's suspicions, Tai Shici is anxious to turn around outside the tent, but he only hears laughter with various meanings coming from Zhou Yu's tent from time to time.
"There are still two quarters of an hour left, why haven't the military advisors and the governor given orders?" Tai Shi Ci said to himself outside the tent.
Pang Tong walked out of the tent and was about to invite Tai Shi Ci, but he bumped into him who was walking back and forth outside the tent, Tai Shi Ci was a person who practiced martial arts, but there was nothing to do, one did not pay attention to knock Pang Tong and one stood unsteadily and sat on the ground.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Tai Shici hurriedly stepped forward to help Pang Tong up, but heard Pang Tong laugh and scolded: "Haha...... General Taishi, you're too anxious, aren't you? Look at you knocking me out! ”
Pang Tong walked into Zhou Yu's tent again with the support of Tai Shici, and when Zhou Yu saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help: "What's the matter?" Someone attacked the camp? ”
Although they knew that Zhou Yu was joking, Tai Shici and Pang Tong still looked at each other and laughed.
After talking and laughing, Zhou Yu brought the topic to the topic: "General Taishi, I have discussed with the military advisor, and we have decided that you will lead the ............troops."
After hearing this, Tai Shici smiled and said, "Hehe...... The last general understands that he will not disappoint the high expectations of the governor and the military advisor. ”
"Time is pressing, so you can go!" Zhou Yu waved his hand.
Tai Shi Ci led an army of 20,000 to sneak around Luoyang City, Pang Tong expected that Xiahou Yuan would not be stupid enough to pursue how far away, so he ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the army to ambush outside Luoyang City, not too far, as long as it could avoid the range of bows and arrows on the city tower. If it is too far, it is estimated that Xiahou Yuan will not pursue.
After Tai Shici led the troops to leave first, Zhou Yucai summoned Jiangdong's new general-Lu Xun!
The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, he is dressed in cyan armor, and his figure is relatively weak, which is the taste of Jiangnan scholars at first glance. was selected by Zhou Yu to be the leader of the compulsory soldiers in Luoyang this time.
"Bo Yan, after discussing with the military advisor, I think you are the most suitable for this mission!" Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.
"What is the task of the Governor?"
"Huh...... In fact, what you have to do is very simple, after luring Xiahou Yuan out of the city, you can find a way to lead him to the place where General Tai Shici is ambushed. ”
"The last general commands!" Although Lu Xun is young, he has no idea of being young and frivolous. will not be discouraged by the simplicity of the task, but think that drawing out Xiahou Yuan is the key to this battle. The Governor trusts himself so much and gives him such a heavy responsibility. Lu Xun was very excited in his heart.
After receiving the order, Lu Xun led the compulsory army of 20,000 horses to Luoyang City to call for battle, at first Xiahou Yuan still did not go to war for insurance, however, Lu Xun is worthy of being a literati, and scolding people is a corner, but unfortunately Xiahou Yuan's reckless man did not understand, but wasted a lot of Lu Xun's saliva.
Lu Xun changed his normal state, he didn't look like a scholar at all, but like a hooligan, scolding his mother and scolding Xiahou Yuan, how could Xiahou Yuan be Lu Xun's opponent.
Anyway, they were all ready, and Xiahou Yuan repeatedly confirmed that the troops were indeed newcomers, so he led the troops that had been waiting for a long time to fight out of the city.
Although Xiahou Yuan was reckless, he was not stupid, he rode his horse out of the city, and pointed the spearhead at Lu Xun, seeing Xiahou Yuan rushing forward, Lu Xun also stepped forward, and fought with him for dozens of rounds, and gradually felt difficult, so he retreated, turned around and fled backwards.
Seeing Lu Xun fleeing, Xiahou Yuan ordered a retreat to Luoyang. did not pursue Lu Xun who was fleeing not far away, judging from Lu Xun's martial arts and the battle between the two armies just now, Xiahou Yuan had been fighting for many years after all, although he had not guessed it, he also felt that there were some clues.
