Chapter 53: Infighting
Chen Zhi led a large army to cruise outside, looking for fighters. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi defended very tightly and didn't give him any chance at all. On this morning, Chen Zhi suddenly received a report from the scouts that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's army had moved and was heading for Jiameng Pass. Chen was overjoyed and asked, "How is the situation in Hanzhong and Yangpingguan?" ”
The scout said: "Yangping Pass is defended by 30,000 troops, and it is guarded by the general Cao Xiu, and Hanzhong seems to be empty!" ”
"Probe!" Chen Zhi sent the scouts and hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss.
Chen Zhi put forward a bold idea, he wanted to attack Hanzhong. Everyone was shocked, they only had 10,000 horses in their hands, and they were basically cavalry, so it was not easy to sneak attack Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang is a military master, he must be prepared for a sneak attack, there must be a large army left in Hanzhong City, if the sneak attack fails, Zhuge Liang's military situation will deteriorate infinitely.
Chen Zhi smiled: "Knowing that you can't do it is the highest state of being a general." Zhuge Liang's army went to fight with the lord, and he would definitely not be able to come back for a while, if he could take Hanzhong within three hours, he would naturally get reinforcements from the lord, and Hanzhong would be broken! ”
A staff general said: "General, do we inform the lord first, lest the lord do not come when the lord does not come, and we are surrounded by a large army, these ten thousand brothers can be ......."
"The lord will definitely come!" Chen Zhi is extremely confident.
Since it was agreed, Chen Zhi acted immediately. First, the scouts were sent into two groups, one to investigate the situation of Zhuge Liang's army, and the other to 'mix' into Hanzhong to check the facts. This time, Zhuge Liang is indeed a little supportive. He thought that Li Hui had few troops, and the whole army must be at Jiameng Pass, guarding against him and Sima Yi's 200,000 allied troops, but he didn't expect Li Hui to send Chen to cruise outside. Therefore, only 30,000 soldiers were left in Hanzhong, and there were no decent generals.
Chen Zhi led a battalion of 10,000 flying tigers to the city of Hanzhong. They were all dressed in Shu army clothes, and when they arrived at the city, Chen Zhi shouted loudly and asked the soldiers in the city to open the 'door'. The Shu army defending the city did not ask the reason, and even opened the city 'gate'. Chen Zhi took the lead. By the time the defenders reacted, the 10,000 Flying Tiger Battalion had already entered the city.
What kind of combat power is the Flying Tiger Battalion, there is no mercy in the face of the 30,000 Shu army, killing people when they see them, and cutting them when they meet people. Soon occupied the city 'gate', Chen Zhi stayed behind to defend the city 'gate', and continued to rush inside. The people of Hanzhong have avoided and dare not 'show' their heads. The Shu army is even more hugging his head and scurrying. An hour later, most of the city had been occupied, and the remaining defenders cowered into a desperate resistance.
"Set fire! Set! Quick! Chen gave an order. Smoke billowed and the fire rose to the sky, and the defenders who were cowering in the yamen were burned alive in the yamen. Hanzhong City was inexplicably captured.
Unable to rest, Chen Zhi sent someone to inform Li Hui while summoning all the generals to go to the city to defend, using the defensive artifacts left by the Shu army, he wanted to use 10,000 people to block Zhuge Liang's army. Time is very precious to Chen Zhi, and there is no room for delay. As long as Hanzhong can be held before Li Hui dares to come, Hanzhong will be pacified!
Zhuge Liang received the report and was full of regret. I never thought that Li Hui would send someone to attack Hanzhong and be so easily handed. The heart is anxious, and the surface must not be 'exposed'. lest Li Hui see that he would be killed in Hanzhong after him, then Hanzhong would never be able to be recaptured.
Yan's father and son were defeated, Zhuge Liang was defeated three times in a row, and five generals were lost. He said to Li Hui: "General Li, I will see this for today's fighting generals!" If you come, you will definitely come to visit! ”
Li Hui smiled: "Kong Ming laughs, please please, but sir, remember, I am bound to win this Hanzhong!" ”
Zhuge Liang retreated, methodically, and did not 'show' the slightest panic. Sima Yi and Chen Qun both felt strange. It's still early, although the fighting general loses, you can still attack Jiameng Pass again, why do you retreat from the army. It seems that Zhuge Liang is really cunning and cunning, and he is unwilling to lose every soldier of his own soldiers.
Now that the Shu army has withdrawn, the Cao army has also withdrawn. Halfway through, he learned that Hanzhong was successfully attacked by someone, Zhuge Liang was attacking the city, and he wanted to recapture Hanzhong before Li Hui.
Chen Qun sighed: "Grand Governor! Things are complicated, Hanzhong was attacked by Li Hui and succeeded, Zhuge Liang may not be able to take it back, as soon as Ruyi came to Hanzhong was completely occupied by Li Hui, our army was very dangerous in staying in Hanzhong, it is better to ......"
Sima Yi waved his hand and smiled slightly: "Mr. is too worried, Li Hui and Zhuge Liang are fighting for Hanzhong, it is a good time for us, when they fight and lose both, we will take the opportunity to send troops, and we will definitely be able to take Hanzhong!" ”
Chen Qun wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back. The army entered Yangping Pass, and Cao Xiu was greeted by the pass, very polite and low-key. Sima Yi was quite strange. The group entered the Shuai Hall, and Sima Yi sat in the first place. Cao Xiu and Chen Qun exchanged a look.
Cao Xiu said: "Governor, I heard that His Majesty has issued an order for me to wait for the withdrawal of troops, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Huh?" Sima Yi was taken aback, and then looked around him and it was still not the same group of soldiers as before, all of them were unfamiliar faces. He smiled and said, "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that I will disobey His Majesty's decree? ”
"Hehehe......" Cao Xiu smiled: "I didn't mean that, but I want the Metropolitan Governor to see someone!" Bring it in! ”
Several soldiers walked in carrying the dying Sima Fu. Sima Fu was still in good spirits half an hour ago, but now he was full of scars, and there was not a single intact piece of skin on his body. I couldn't stand up at all, I almost crawled on the ground. Cao Xiu turned around and took a stack of bright yellow 'colored' silk silk from behind him. The clear five-clawed golden dragon pattern on the roller is particularly conspicuous: "Dadu Governor, these are all found from Sima Fu's sleeping tent, this person 'privately' hides His Majesty's holy decree, please Dadu Governor to check clearly!" ”
"I did it, and it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Governor!" Sima Fu struggled to sit on the ground and shouted loudly.
"The Grand Duke! What do you think should be done with this person? Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, and his generals all looked at Sima Yi. Sima Yi said lightly: "The 'private' holy decree should be Ling Chi!" Can ......"
"Someone! On the orders of the Metropolitan Governor, this thief was dragged down and executed! Without waiting for Sima Yi to finish speaking, Cao Xiu shouted outward. Several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists immediately came in, picked up Sima Fu and walked out.
Sima Yi wanted to stop it, but he couldn't find a suitable reason. If these decrees are false, then the sin of forging them is even greater, and it will destroy the people. Cao Xiu still did not give up: "Governor Dadu, according to the holy decree, Li Hui has already pressed the troops of my Great Wei State, Your Majesty asked me to return to the army immediately, and the Governor of Dadu quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops!" ”
"No!" Sima Yi immediately shouted: "Seeing that Hanzhong is about to arrive, if the troops are withdrawn at this time, Hanzhong will inevitably fall into the hands of Li Hui, and the order of the foreign monarch will not be affected!" I'm the Grand Duke, and I'm in charge here! ”
Cao Xiu laughed: "Could it be that the governor of the capital wants to resist the decree?" Someone, take this thief down for me! ”
"You dare?" Sima Yi's eyes widened and he glared at Cao Xiu angrily.
Chen Qun hurriedly said: "The two of you are the ministers of the humerus of my Great Wei Kingdom, why bother hurting the harmony for this matter, since Your Majesty's holy decree is still clearly written to let me wait for the withdrawal of the army, it must be Your Majesty's other plans, we should obey Your Majesty's orders!" "There was silence in the big tent, and the eyes of Sima Yi and Cao Xiu were facing each other, and there was a lot of fire.
