Chapter 149 How to Resist the Enemy with Seven Thousand Tactics to Surrender to the Zhou Court
Cheng Yuan sat back after hearing this, he waved his hand to let the spies retreat, and said stupidly: "Seven thousand against thirty thousand, how can you win?"
There was silence in the tent for a while, and Zhao Fan stepped forward and said: "It's better to go to the lord of the book and ask the three soldiers to fight together." ”
Cheng Yuan didn't say anything about this, he looked at Chu Yang after a short trance, wanting to see what he had to say.
Because Chu Yang's repeated speculations have not been fulfilled, Cheng Yuan's opinion of Chu Yang has improved a lot, and he feels that he has a very unique vision, and he can see what people don't see and what people don't see.
Zhao Fan saw that Cheng Yuan was noncommittal about his method, so he looked at it curiously, only to see Cheng Yuan looking at Chu Yang in contemplation, at this time he also reflected Chu Yang's superiority, and he also looked at Chu Yang with Cheng Yuan, and both of them wanted to get a better way from Chu Yang's mouth.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at themselves, Chu Yang also understood what they meant, and immediately said his thoughts without being ambiguous: "The general was entrusted by the lord to recapture Lang Yuan, and since he was in the village here, he should take advantage of the situation to fight." ”
"Seven thousand against thirty thousand, how can you fight?" Zhao Fan never expected Chu Yang to say so simply, how to get less to more in your mouth is like eating.
"Throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which less wins more. Chu Yang said.
"Our army lost the first battle, the army has no fighting spirit, and the enemy army has a new victory, and the arrogance is high, if our army fights, it is better to hit the stone with an egg?" Zhao Fan continued to retort.
Zhao Fan's words can't be said to be cowardly, only that he is more thoughtful.
"Yes, our army is defeated today, it will definitely be able to raise the arrogance of the enemy, and our army can also use this as a guide to oppose the enemy army, and Bing Shuyun 'arrogant soldiers will be defeated', and they should take advantage of their arrogance to send troops to attack!" Chu Yang said and turned around and hugged his fists and rushed to Cheng Yuan.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yuan nodded, and Chu Yang said again: "This wonderful time, the general must not delay." ”
"Although the idea is good, what can be done if the enemy army does not fight?" Cheng Yuan sat on the horse and stroked his beard, still a little hesitant.
I am marching here to attack, and he is defending the city, as long as he is ready to wait for the victory and hold out, what should I do?
"You can send a shrewd general into the city, pretend to surrender to the enemy to get rich, and lie that our soldiers and horses are all old and weak, so that you will be able to earn Zhou Ting out of the city. Chu Yang said with a smile.
Cheng Yuan nodded after hearing this, and thought about it, he had few soldiers, and he had to pick one more to go to the enemy camp to fake a surrender, and finally take 7,000 lives against 70,000, and he would be overturned at every turn!
He stood up from behind the Dragon and Tiger case and walked to Chu Yang, holding Chu Yang's hand, and said with emotion: "Chu Yang, you have to know that this is a plan to put him to death and live later, but it can't be played!"
After hearing this, Chu Yang fell to his knees with a puff, clenched his fists and said: "I have received the grace of the lord's knowledge, even if I can't repay it, how dare I be careless! If this plan fails, I am willing to be dealt with by military law!"
"You know that there is no joke in the army. Cheng Yuan asked.
"I would like to make a military order!" Chu Yang said impassionedly, standing up.
After saying a sentence, the attendant came in to study ink and prepare paper and pen, Chu Yang stepped forward to take a pen and paper to write down the military order, Cheng Yuan took it and looked at it and said: "Okay!
Let Chuyang establish a military writ is not to say that Cheng Yuan does not trust Chuyang, the war is imminent, there is really no room for a difference, Qiaozhou's total strength is only 50,000, and now 10,000 people are one-fifth of the total, and it has been folded 3,000, if these 7,000 people have any further losses, it is to send Qiaozhou to Ma Zhong step by step.
Cheng Yuan sat back down, thought about who to choose for a while, and shouted to the outside: "Captain of the infantry, Zhou Bei is in the account." ”
After a while, Zhou Bei walked in and asked Cheng Yuan, "General." ”
Cheng Yuan went to the tent to rebuke the guards on both sides, and after entering the tent, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked Chu Yang to tell him, Chu Yang nodded and said: "Please General Zhou tonight, ride a fast horse to steal out of the camp, go to Ma Zhong, after seeing Zhou Ting, he only said that the soldiers and horses in our army are old and weak, so they ran all night to survive, and they must be convinced that our army is hitting a stone with an egg in this battle." ”
"Understood!" is worthy of being a shrewd general, without Chu Yang elaborating on his intentions, Zhou Bei immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes lit up when he agreed, as if he had seen Zhou Ting's fate.
"Go get ready. Cheng Yuan saw that Chu Yang had finished speaking, so he asked Zhou Bei to retreat.
After Zhou Bei went out, Cheng Yuan had to ask Chu Yang about the detailed process steps, and said, "What should I do when Zhou Ting is introduced to the battle?"
At this time, Chu Yang laughed out loud and said: "Just kill Zhou Ting! There are no generals in the 30,000 army, it's not that the poisonous snake has been beheaded, only the body is meandering?"
Cheng Yuan also laughed when he heard this, he couldn't control himself and stood up from the horse again, strode to Chu Yang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If this plan is successful, Chu Yang should be the first to remember!"
"Even if Zhou Ting is beheaded, but there are still soldiers and horses in the city, they will definitely no longer fight, our army is marching so far, the food and grass are not enough to do a protracted war, and the enemy army will wait for work again, what should be done at that time?" At this time, Zhao Fan suddenly poured a basin of cold water when the two were happy.
Chu Yang didn't speak after hearing this, the corners of Cheng Yuan's mouth twitched and looked at Zhao Fan like an idiot, and said with some hatred that iron is not steel: "Zhou Bei entered the city and pretended to surrender, and when our army was killed under the city, then the city gate should be opened and my army entered the city, and he was worried that he would never go to war?"
Zhao Fan thought about it after hearing this, and said to himself: "It seems to be like this." After saying that, he laughed too.
When everyone was resting late at night, Zhou Bei began to pretend to escape, he hid all the way to the horse shed by the sentry patrol, led the horse and quietly arrived in front of the camp gate, the soldiers on the sentry tower saw Zhou Bei, and instinctively asked: "Where is General Zhou going?"
In order to pretend to be more like an escape, Zhou Bei stepped on the horse's back without speaking, jumped over the horse barrier with his legs between the horse's belly, and hurriedly threw the whip in his hand and rushed west in the direction of Lang Yuan.
The sentry guard immediately reacted that Zhou Bei had fled in violation of the order, and immediately grabbed the gong under his feet and struck it, and shouted: "Zhou Bei has fled!
After the shout of the sentry, the originally quiet barracks suddenly became agitated, and Cheng Yuan also seemed to wake up in a panic, ran out of the handsome camp barefoot, grabbed a soldier who was running by, and asked, "What's the panic?"
"Zhou Bei has defected to the enemy!" the soldier said in a panic.
Zhao Fan, who had been prepared for a long time, was wearing a suit of armor at this time, carrying a wind mouth knife to Cheng Yuan's approach, and stepped forward to hold his fists and ask for his life: "Wait for me to catch up and kill this traitor!"
In order to hide from the enemy, he must first hide his own people's strategy, Cheng Yuan pretended to be extremely angry and roared: "You lead ten horsemen to bring him back, and I will divide his five horses!"
"Yes!" Zhao Fan shouted, hurriedly led the horse, and led ten halberd-wielding light cavalry to chase out.
After delaying this effort, Zhou Bei had already run out for two or three miles, Zhao Fan and his party could only watch his back and chase after him, until they reached thirty zhang away from Lang Yuan City, Zhou Bei shouted to the fire on the city tower from afar: "I pre-surrender to General Zhou! There are chasing soldiers behind, open the city gate quickly!"
The captain who guarded the gate upstairs was not a fool, and he didn't immediately open the city gate to let Zhou Bei enter the city, what if this was a full set? Open the city gate to let you in, and then follow the army to attack, and then it will be too late to pass the gate at that time.
Zhou Bei looked at the city gate that was close in front of him but did not open, and pretended to be flustered to look behind the pursuers, pretending to be short and anxiously shouted to the city tower: "There are chasing soldiers to chase me!
Zhao Fan, who was getting closer and closer behind him, saw that the city gate was not open, and immediately understood that this was not believing Zhou Bei's meaning, he hurriedly added a fire to it, and shouted with a knife: "Chase quickly! Don't let this traitor enter the city!"
Captain Chenglou heard Zhao Fan's shout and the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, hurriedly put up a pergola and looked behind Zhou Bei, and sure enough, he saw that there were chasing soldiers, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and waited for a while, and finally when Zhao Fan was only ten zhang away from Zhou Bei, he was sure that there was no army behind.
The lieutenant hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and Zhou Bei entered the city, and at the same time ordered the crossbowmen upstairs to release arrows to resist the enemy.
