Chapter 207: Sitting Idly by and Ignoring
The messenger who sent the letter saw that Zhou Fang's face was uncertain, and he didn't say anything, the three of them looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and asked: "General Zhou, you have already read the general's order, please immediately send an order to let the whole army go north for reinforcements!"
"Oh......" Zhou Fang groaned and said, "I know, you guys go down first!"
"General Zhou must give the order now that the whole army goes north, otherwise it will ......"
Zhou Fang raised an eyebrow and looked at the messenger.
The latter looked at Zhou Fang without fear and said: "The general has specially explained that if General Zhou still disobeys, I will notify all the generals in the army, capture General Zhou, and take over the military power!"
Zhou Fang's face changed drastically when he heard this, he didn't care about the military power in his hands, but he didn't want to see the soldiers of the Mu Kingdom go to death in vain.
He was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go and send the army north!" As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the table, as if he were about to go out of the tent, but as he passed by the three messengers, he suddenly drew his sword, aimed it at the chests of the three men, and stabbed them three times.
As the deputy commander of the first army, Zhou Fang's skills are not weak, although he is not a master of the underworld, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.
Where would the three messengers have thought that Zhou Fang could suddenly attack him, standing there, unresponsive, and by the time they realized that they were not haode, Zhou Fang's saber had already pierced the chest of the three people.
"Plop!"
The three of them widened their eyes and looked at Zhou Fang in disbelief, their bodies shook again and again, and finally fell to the ground and died.
After killing the three people, Zhou Fang put away Pelie and called the guards outside in. Let them carry the body out.
The guards were a little dumbfounded, not understanding how Zhou Fang killed the messenger sent by the general, Zhou Fang said nonsense, "These three people are spies of the Jin army, and they have now been executed by me." ”
The guards will be skeptical of his words. However, Zhou Fang was now the supreme commander in the camp, and people did not dare to disobey his orders, so they lifted the body and quickly exited the big tent.
Sima Changren's order was passed to Zhou Fang, but Zhou Fang still did not act according to the order, and killed the three messengers, so that the tens of thousands of wooden troops still stayed outside the city of Liaodong, and sat idly by and ignored the troubled Sima Changren.
Wait two days in a row. Still didn't see his own reinforcements coming, Sima Changren also understood, there was no need to inquire again, this time it must be Zhou Fang who disobeyed his orders, the roots of his teeth itched, but Zhou Fang was helpless.
Now, the question he faces is not whether he can kill Lin Haotian, but whether he can lead his soldiers to break out of the Jin army.
As for how you can get out of trouble. Sima Changren also worked hard.
Your cavalry can take a detour to avoid the Jin army to the south. But he can't, after all, the cavalry is fast, and even if the Jin army finds out, they can't catch up if they want to, but his subordinates are all infantry, and the armor is heavy. It was impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the Jin army.
If you want to break through, you have to rush hard, but if the Jin army stays in the camp, you can't rush out anyway, and you can only lure the enemy out of the camp. Only then did he have the opportunity to break out.
Sima Changren used his brains at this time, and his talent for strategy was also brought into full play.
In the morning of the same day, he began to make people start to make equipment for the breakthrough, and at the same time asked the soldiers below to unload all the grain, grass, and insertion weight from the wagon, throw it in the camp, empty all the wagons, and modify them, and in the evening, the eldest grandson Yuanhong raised the tent and gathered all the generals under his command.
Sima Changren was injured, and it was difficult to even sit up, so he could only lie on his side, but at this time, he was already wearing armor, with Pei Chuang, and put on his robe, as if he was going to go out to fight.
When the generals saw this, they were all shocked, the general was already so seriously injured, why did he still have to go on the expedition?
Seeing everyone's thoughts, Sima Changren sighed faintly and said: "Although our army is trapped by Lin Haotian now, the canyon is narrow, and our army can't attack it for a long time, and now it is trapped in the trap of the Jin army, and Zhou Fang has not come to the rescue for a long time, and if it is delayed, our whole army is in danger." ”
Hearing this, all the generals were anxious and angry, and shouted one after another: "General, wait for us to capture Lin Haotian, break out of the encirclement, and go back to settle accounts with the old thief of Zhou Fang!"
Sima Changren slowly waved his hand, smiled bitterly, and said: "We have missed the best opportunity to capture Lin Haotian, and it will be difficult to enter the canyon to attack again, but it will attract the full force of the Jin army." Now, our army can only break through to the outside, however, there are 70,000 people of the first army of the Jin country in the south, and our army wants to storm the Jin camp, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, only by luring the Jin army out of the camp, I can have the certainty of the success of the breakthrough, which requires someone to stay, feint the canyon, and lead the Jin army out of the camp, I don't know which general is willing to stay?"
As soon as they heard this, the generals looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Staying and feinting to attack the canyon and help the main force of your own army break through, but the main force runs away, what should you do? Staying is a dead article! No one is not afraid of death, and the wooden generals are of course no exception, and the people gasped and were silent.
The tent was instantly silent, and even if a needle fell to the ground, the sound could be heard.
Seeing that people didn't speak for a long time, at this time, one of the wooden generals stepped out and said to Sima Changren: "General, the last general is willing to stay!"
"Huh!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the wooden general who spoke, including Sima Changren.
Seeing this person clearly, Sima Changren's heart trembled, and the person who came out to ask for help was not someone else, but one of his most intimate subordinates, Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was one of the first generals to follow Sima Changren, and although his ability was mediocre, he was loyal and loyal to Sima Changren, and he had always been the most trusted person of the latter.
Seeing him come out now, Sima Changren's eyes suddenly became hot, he didn't want Zhang Chu to stay, but at this time, he took the initiative to ask for help, and it was really difficult for him to choose someone else.
Sima Changren said faintly: "Zhang Chu, do you know that if you stay here, you will fall into the siege of the Jin army, and you can't advance or retreat!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chu Zhengse said: "General, please rest assured, even if the last general is defeated, he will never be a prisoner of the gold thief and lose the face of my Mu Country and the general!"
Alas, Sima Changren sighed secretly, and after a long silence, he raised his head and said softly: "In the future, your father will be my father, and your son will be my son, and there is no need to worry about everything in the family!"
When Zhang Chu heard this, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said movingly: "The last general, General Xie, is gracious!"
Sima Changren handed over Zhang Chu's 5,000 elites as a death squad and let him stay in the camp to attack the canyon, while Sima Changren himself commanded the army and ambushed in the south gate of the wooden camp. (To be continued......)
