Chapter 535: Ambush
It just so happened that Zhu Zhanji and the others were stopping to rest for a while.
And the soldiers hid themselves in the grass behind them and listened to them.
There were two soldiers near the grass, sitting here chatting.
"You say, how long will it take for us to arrive in Xuzhou after traveling overnight?"
"I don't know, we won't be able to come back for a month this time."
And the spy who was hiding behind them took all the words they chatted about, and this spy was not stupid, and he caught the accurate information in a few words: grain transportation.
The soldiers who inquired about the news did not dare to act rashly, but waited for a while until they had all rested and left.
The soldier stood in place and said to himself: "It turned out that I wanted to rush to Xuzhou to transport grain, so I had to go back and tell King Han quickly." ”
The soldiers trotted all the way to the place where they had just been tied to the horse, and hurried back to the Yanzhou military camp on horseback.
At this time, in the room of King Han, the Han lord of Dengzhou Mansion and Ping Nan also discussed the battle situation with King Han in the room.
King Han said: "Someone came back today to report that Zhu Zhanji brought five hundred soldiers and didn't know where to go." ”
Ping Nan said: "It's not going to be another sneak attack, right?" ”
Han Zheng bowed his head and said that he also thought it might mean this.
Han Zheng said angrily: "This dog emperor, is it possible that he can only make small moves!" ”
King Han waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I have already sent heavy troops to guard various places, and I have sent people to investigate, and the news should arrive soon." ”
Soon a general came to the camp panting, and when the king of Han saw that the person who inquired about the news had returned, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you back?" Did you find any news? ”
At this time, in the room, King Han, Han Zheng and Ping Nan all looked at him, waiting for his news.
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Report to King Han, I heard that the grandson took people to Xuzhou to transport grain." ”
Everyone was stunned, went to Xuzhou to transport grain? Could it be that there is not enough food and grass in the emperor's military camp?
Ping Nan smiled: "Isn't there enough food and grass in the emperor's camp?" Isn't this a great opportunity to repel them? King Han, then what are we waiting for, attack early tomorrow morning! ”
Han Zheng did not agree with Pingnan's proposal.
Han Zheng retorted: "What if it's just a cover to deceive us? Isn't this sending everyone to death? I propose that we now send troops to ambush Zhu Zhanji, he only brought 500 men, and he will definitely not be able to resist, and when the time comes, we will kill him directly on the road, and we can still get a batch of grain and grass. ”
And the king of Han didn't believe that Zhu Zhanji only brought 500 people to transport grain and grass, and he felt that there would definitely be Zhu Di's army ambushed in the grass on the road, waiting for them to take the bait.
How could such an important matter as transporting grain and grass be escorted by only 500 people? Zhu Di is really not afraid that Zhu Zhanji will be robbed halfway? King Han and Pingnan even read that there was something strange about this matter.
And Han Zheng has a hideous face, he has a favorite concubine, because of a little thing, he was killed on the spot by Yu Xuekui, Yu Xuekui is a member of Zhu Zhanji's camp, so he took this revenge on Zhu Zhanji.
He couldn't wait to cut Zhu Zhanji with a thousand knives.
This is obviously a great opportunity to kill Zhu Zhanji, but the King of Han does not attack Zhu Zhanji and wants to attack Zhu Di.
King Han thought about it in his heart, and finally decided to take advantage of the dark night to kill Zhu Di directly.
King Han said loudly: "Don't argue, I decided to take advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and we will directly lead troops to attack Zhu Di's camp." ”
Ping Nan responded: "Yes, King Han." ”
Han Zheng also responded perfunctorily, but he didn't want to obey in his heart.
As a chief general, he also has a lot of soldiers under his command, since the king of Han does not send troops to ambush and encircle Zhu Zhanji, then he will send troops himself.
Zhu Zhanji will not be able to return to Yanzhou for a while and a half, and he still has time to prepare, and when Zhu Zhanji returns to Yanzhou, he will be able to launch an attack.
Han Zheng left the barracks and came to his house.
He summoned all the soldiers under his command and ordered: "Zhu Zhanji is now on his way to Xuzhou, let's go to the grass in the suburbs first, and when we see Zhu Zhanji coming back, we will wait for the opportunity to move." Did you hear it all? ”
The soldiers below him shouted, "Hear me clearly! ”
After that, Han Zheng took a group of people and walked on foot.
On the way back to Yanzhou, Han Zheng's soldiers were laying traps, in order to catch Zhu Zhanji this time.
And Zhu Zhanji didn't know anything, they had just arrived in Xuzhou at this time.
In the Xuzhou military camp, Xie Jin saw Zhu Zhanji coming, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Royal Highness, why are you here?" ”
Xie Jin's eyes suddenly saw Zhu Zhanji's injured shoulder, and asked in surprise and concern: "Your Royal Highness, you are injured!" ”
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Xie Jin heard Zhu Zhanji say that it was okay, and his nervous heart was also relaxed.
Xie Jin asked again: "You join forces with the emperor, how can anyone hurt you?" ”
Zhu Zhanji gave Xie Jin a rough idea of what happened on the battlefield, and also explained the purpose of returning to Xuzhou this time.
Xie Jin heard that the father-son friendship between Zhu Di and King Han had broken down, and expressed his joy that Zhu Di would finally no longer have any burden when he attacked Yanzhou.
I also hope that Zhu Di can arrest the King of Han as soon as possible, so that the people will suffer less.
Xie Jin didn't delay Zhu Zhanji's time anymore and helped Zhu Zhanji move grain and grass to the carriage together.
After the grain and grass were moved, everyone was panting and tired and collapsed directly on the ground, and the grain and grass of the 200,000 army was a big project.
A group of people rushed overnight, and just moved so much grain and grass, this subordinate really didn't have much energy.
Zhu Zhanji didn't want the soldiers to be so tired, so he planned to rest in the Xuzhou military camp and wait until dawn before returning.
Zhu Zhanji instructed: "All the soldiers have worked hard, they have traveled so much overnight, we will set off back to Yanzhou at dawn tomorrow, and now you all go back to the camp to rest." ”
There was no voice of complaint, and the soldiers were grateful to Zhu Zhanji for showing compassion to them.
Xie Jin said to Zhu Zhanji with concern: "Your Royal Highness, you should rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Zhu Zhanji replied: "Thank you for your concern, then I'll go and rest first." ”
At this time, outside Yanzhou City, a beacon fire broke out.
Zhu Di didn't expect that the King of Han would attack the military camp at night.
When the sentry army heard the movement outside the barracks, he looked over and saw that the king of Han was leading his troops to kill, and he hurriedly sounded the trumpet to warn the sleeping soldiers.
The soldiers on the battlefield would not sleep very well, for fear that the enemy would attack at night, as soon as they heard the sound of the trumpet, they quickly got up and put on their armor and urgently assembled.
Zhu Di stood at the front, looking at the King of Han who was killed in front of him, his eyes were glazed.
He shouted at King Han, "How many lives do you have to dare to attack me. ”
Zhu Zhanji only took five hundred people, and the number of soldiers was not affected at all, King Han was afraid that he was drunk in a bar, so bold?
