Chapter 603: Ambush the Jungle and cut off the way of life
"The sky in the middle of the gate is so blue!"
Guanzhong is really a place where people come and don't want to leave.
Zhou Tai, who was leading the 5,000 Han army and was accelerating towards Wugong County, couldn't help but let out this sigh on the horse.
At the beginning, after Mi Yang Fengzhao left from the Bao Slope Road, he let the calm Zhou Tai command the remaining 5,000 Han troops to continue to stay in the Bao Slope Road.
Zhou Tai has lived up to Mi Yang's trust.
For more than half a year, he took a good look at the 5,000 Han army.
It's just that Zhou Tai originally thought that Mi Yang handed over the 5,000 Han troops to him in order to defend the danger and prevent the Wei army from attacking Hanzhong from the Bao Slope Road.
But what Zhou Tai never expected was that just a few days ago, he suddenly received a secret letter from Mi Yang.
In the secret letter, Mi Yang asked Zhou Tai to immediately lead the army out of the Bao Chuan Road, and then marched all the way to Wugong County.
When he first got the secret letter, Zhou Tai was very shocked.
He thought he was about to be forgotten by Mi Yang.
didn't expect Mi Yang to suddenly assign him such an important task.
After the shock, what emerged in Zhou Tai's heart was anxiety.
On the one hand, he hurriedly ordered the 5,000 Han troops to pack up, and on the other hand, he sent messengers to Wugong County to contact the local family.
Why is the state so anxious?
It's not the heart of meritorious service in my heart that is at work.
Bao Chute Road and Guanzhong are close at hand, and Zhou Tai often sends spies into Guanzhong to inquire about the news, so the major events that have happened in Guanzhong recently, Zhou Tai is aware of it.
When he learned that Mi Yang had entered Guanzhong and done all the things that were refreshing, Zhou Tai was happy for Mi Yang on the one hand, and at the same time, he inevitably had melancholy in his heart.
All the Liangzhou comrades followed the Lord to gallop across the field and became famous.
But he could only stay honestly in the Bao Slope Road, in order to follow the unobtrusive order left by Mi Yang before, Zhou Tai didn't even dare to lead the army out of the mouth of the sloping valley to breathe in the sweet air of Guanzhong.
In contrast, how can you make Zhou Tai not feel melancholy?
The more melancholy he was in the past, the more anxious he was after Zhou Tai received Mi Yang's latest instructions.
The opportunity to make a name for himself is right in front of him, and he can't afford to lose it in vain!
After sighing about the sky in Guanzhong, Zhou Tai hurriedly summoned a secretary.
This Siwen official was one of the many spies sent by Mi Yang to the customs before, and he was now serving as a guide in the army of Zhou Tai.
Before and after the secretary came to Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai asked him anxiously:
"How long is our army still away from Wugong County?"
Hearing Zhou Tai's anxious tone, the secretary smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
Suppressing the smile in his heart, Si Wenwen replied to Zhou Taidao:
"It's less than thirty miles!"
Si Wen's answer made Zhou Tai overjoyed.
The distance of thirty miles is not short for the infantry army, but it is still early in the morning, if you continue to speed up the march, then before nightfall, it is possible for you to rush to the outside of Wugong County.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Tai hurriedly ordered and urged the Han army behind him to speed up the march.
After receiving the order from Zhou Tai, the 5,000 Han troops did not complain.
After all, the moment they entered Guanzhong, the hearts of every Han soldier were full of fighting spirit.
Reviving the Han dynasty and returning it to the old capital is not only the ideal of Liu Bei, Mi Yang and others, but also the long-cherished wish of every Han army.
With one heart and one mind, the march speed of the 5,000 Han army suddenly accelerated a few points.
Finally, in the evening, Zhou Tai led 5,000 Han troops to the outside of Wugong County.
And when Zhou Tai arrived, he found that outside Wugong County, there was a team waiting for his arrival.
As for why Zhou Tai felt that this team was here to wait for him and not to ambush him, it was because of the person standing at the front of the team - Meng Da.
Meng Da saw Zhou Tai's figure appear, a smile appeared on his face, and then he immediately rode towards Zhou Tai.
Soon after, Meng Da came to the state of Tai.
Meng Da first glanced at the five thousand elite soldiers behind Zhou Tai, and then said to Zhou Taiyan:
"Captain Yangyi, long time no see!"
After the Battle of Nanzheng, Zhou Tai was awarded the title of Captain of Yangyi by Mi Yang for Gong, and officially became a member of the "Five Righteous Captains" of Liangzhou.
In the face of Meng Da's active greetings, Zhou Tai did not dare to slack off, he dismounted and bowed to Meng Da and said:
"See General Zhendong."
In the past few days, Liu Bei's rewards for Meng Da, Su Ze and others have already spread throughout Guanzhong under the deliberate spread.
Hearing Zhou Tai mention his new official position, the smile on Meng Da's face became stronger.
Don't ask, to ask is to be satisfied.
However, being satisfied is satisfied, and Meng Da still hasn't forgotten his business.
After receiving a bow from Zhoutai, Meng Darang revealed his position to Su Ze, Yang Huan and others to introduce Zhoutai one by one.
It turned out that after learning of Mi Yang's back hand that day, under Mi Yang's order, Meng Da quickly left Xiwei that day.
When he returned to Huaili City, Meng Da not only brought Liu Bei's reward to every meritorious minister, but also told Su Ze and the others about the arrival of Zhou Tai's army in Wugong County.
After Su Ze and the others received the reward, the last bit of uneasiness in their hearts disappeared naturally.
The reason why Mi Yang asked Liu Bei for Su Ze and other family heads was to use his actions to tell the Kansai family that the promises he made would be fulfilled one by one.
The signal released by Mi Yang not only made the heads of the Kansai family led by Su Ze feel at ease, but also made their hearts burst out with a fighting spirit.
Human desires are hard to fill.
When you have the honor of the moment, you will naturally think about continuing to make meritorious contributions to gain more glory and wealth.
Therefore, after learning of Zhoutai's combat mission, Su Ze, several family heads with military merits, volunteered to come to Wugong County to cooperate with Zhoutai's combat operations.
And that's exactly what Mi Yang wants.
Liu Ye's analysis is correct.
There are too many Kansai families, unless Mi Yang personally goes to the rear, otherwise it is difficult for them to get a unified command.
Coupled with the family's deep-rooted idea of guarding the family, it is indeed impossible to organize an army of thousands of people to cut off the grain route of the Wei army by relying solely on their consciousness without the drive of external forces.
But Mi Yang has always been a warm-hearted person, and since the Kansai family lacks the stimulation of external forces, then he gives them this external force.
The 5,000 Han army led by Zhou Tai is this external force.
It is very difficult for the Kansai family, which is independent, to suddenly pull out an army with a strong centripetal force.
However, it is not difficult to take the 5,000 Han army as the main body, and then continue to absorb the soldiers of the Kansai family who are willing to continue to make meritorious contributions, so as to form a large army.
Just like the current martial arts outside the county.
Su Ze did not have arrogance towards Zhoutai, whose status was much lower than him, just because he became the general of the Han Dynasty.
On the contrary, Su Ze's face was very peaceful.
Although Su Ze has a straightforward personality, he can be in charge of a family, and his emotional intelligence is not low.
Mi Yang was able to hand over the important task of cutting off the Wei army's grain route to Zhou Tai, which shows that Zhou Tai was Mi Yang's henchman.
Extrapolating from common sense, it is likely that Zhou Tai will also become a minister of the shogunate of Miyang in the future, just like Mengda.
This speculation alone is enough for Su Ze to maintain full courtesy to Zhoutai.
After bowing to Zhou Tai, Su said to Zhou Tai:
"Many righteous soldiers were afraid of the counterattack of the thieves in various places, so they could not come to the aid of the captain in time.
However, under the call of Ze, there were still 3,000 righteous soldiers who came to Wugong County, thinking that they could contribute to the great cause of the general. ”
After saying this, Su Ze took out a road map of the Wei army's escort of grain and grass from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Tai.
If Su Ze's words are still within the acceptable range of Zhou Tai, Su Ze's actions will surprise Zhou Tai.
This is a relaxed move to take out the road map of the Wei army's escort of grain and grass as a cabbage, and who is not stunned when he sees it.
Speaking of the road map for escorting grain and grass, has it never been an important secret in the army?
Su Ze noticed Zhou Tai's shocked look.
He smiled and explained for Zhou Tai:
"We have lived in Guanzhong for generations, and we have some connections in Guanzhong.
Although after the previous uprising, the bandit army specially modified the route of escorting grain and grass.
But as long as their grain and grass escort has to pass through Guanzhong, it is not difficult for us to get their detailed grain transportation routes. ”
What Su Ze said was light and light, but his words only lifted the tip of the iceberg of the Kansai family's strong influence at the grassroots level in Guanzhong.
After listening to Su Ze's explanation, Zhou Tai temporarily put away the shocked look on his face.
It's just that an idea suddenly popped up in his heart: it seems that he is going to find an opportunity to play today's matter to the general.
Then Zhou Tai unfolded the road map of the Wei army escorting grain and grass in his hand, and after seeing the detailed marks on the various locations, Zhou Tai, who was quite familiar with military strategy, quickly focused his attention on one place on the map.
Meng Da and Su saw Zhou Tai look at that place, and after they glanced at each other, their eyes showed joy.
It seems that the state and they have thought of one thing!
At the beginning of September of the fifth year of Han Zhangwu, in the vast land of Guanzhong, there was a long line of grain transportation marching.
This grain transport team belonged to the Wei army, and the direction they traveled was Wuzhangyuan.
The leader of this team is Wang Shuang, a general under Cao Zhen.
Originally, as Cao Zhen's confidant, Wang Shuang would not have been reduced to the point of escorting grain and grass.
But the current battle situation is really not good for the Wei army.
In order to ensure the safety of the grain route, Cao Zhen had no choice but to send his henchmen.
Of course, another important reason why Wang Shuang was selected was that although Liu Ye was the head of the analysis in the account that day, in fact, many people still had some doubts in their hearts.
Liu Ye said that the Guanxi families in various places had no idea, and they did not have the strength to attack the grain route of the Wei army, but what if it happened?
You must know that the head of Cao Gon, the king of Fufeng, is still hanging on the head of Huaili City, and this bloody scene reflects the cruelty and madness of the Kansai family.
Who knows if the Kansai family will go crazy again.
The most important thing is that since the elite of the Wei army are all in Wuzhangyuan, Cao Zhen has no way to divide too many and too strong troops to escort grain and grass.
In this case, in the eyes of many Wei generals, it is very dangerous to escort grain and grass at the moment.
Many Wei generals' thoughts couldn't be hidden from Cao Zhen, and he also knew that if he forced Wei Jiang, who was unwilling in his heart, to escort the grain and grass, it might cause some unnecessary changes.
Therefore, after thinking about it in every way, he could only choose Wang Shuang, who was both brave and loyal, and upright in temperament.
Wang Shuang was very grateful to Cao Zhen for his trust, so Wang Shuang has always been very cautious along the way to escort grain and grass.
But along the way, Wang Shuang found that Liu Ye's analysis was right.
Although some families have attacked the grain convoy along the way, no large-scale attacks have occurred.
And small-scale attacks, with Wang Shuang's ability, it is not difficult to repel them.
So along the way, Wang Shuangshu was in danger.
This made Wang Shuang's heart feel relieved that Liu Ye admired the five bodies in his heart, and at the same time.
Seeing that the grain and grass he was escorting had already crossed Wugong County and was heading towards Wugong Water, Wang Shuang's mood became more and more relaxed.
As long as he can cross the martial arts water safely, then his task is completed!
As long as!
Just when Wang Shuangchang was thinking about getting Cao Zhen's praise, just as the Wei army's grain transportation team was crossing a dense forest, a drum suddenly sounded.
The sound of this drum almost didn't make Wang Shuang fall off the horse in fright.
But before Wang Shuang could react, after the rousing drum, thousands of arrows were instantly released from the surrounding dense forest and quickly attacked the Wei army.
As he got closer to the martial arts water, the lower the vigilance in Wang Shuang's heart became.
After all, it's not a big deal for such a long way, it's almost at the doorstep, what else can it do?
As the chief general, once Wang Shuang slacks, then his slackness will affect his soldiers.
Unguarded, many Wei troops were hit by a dense array of arrows fired from the surrounding dense forest, and one by one they let out a terrible howl and fell under the grain trucks.
It wasn't until many Wei troops were hit by arrows that the two kings consciously issued a poignant order:
"Enemy attack! Formation! ”
Wang Shuang's password is not high, but a round of unexpected arrow rain attacks has already completely disrupted the formation of the Wei army.
And just when many Wei soldiers were panicked and disorderly, under the guidance of bursts of high drums, groups of energetic Han troops rushed towards the scattered Wei troops from the surrounding dense forests.
Looking at the Han army that suddenly appeared from the dense forest, one after another as if it would not be broken, Wang Shuang's head was instantly in a state of downtime.
Wang Shuang fought many battles with the Han army, and he recognized at a glance the large number of soldiers who appeared at the moment, who were by no means the clan soldiers of the family, but the Han army with strong combat effectiveness.
But the question is:
Could it be that Wuzhang Yuan was broken through by Mi Yang?
Otherwise, where did these thousands of Han troops come from?
Can anyone tell me where these thousands of Han troops came from!
When Wang Shuang was in disbelief, Su Ze, who walked out of the dense forest, had excitement on his face.
Seeing the blood of the Wei army constantly spilling on the grain cart, and listening to the Wei army's continuous screams, Su Ze knew that the last way of life for tens of thousands of Wei troops was cut off!
Su Ze is also a person who knows the soldiers, but he asked himself If he hadn't known Mi Yang's plan in advance, he would never have imagined that Mi Yang would have laid out this secret move in advance.
After thinking of this, the excitement on Su Ze's face receded, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
The art of using soldiers, there is the wonder of Han Bai, and the world has not falsely praised Mi Yang.
This made Su Ze feel in awe of Mi Yang, and also made Su Ze unable to resist Mi Yang in his heart.
But at the same time, Su Ze thought again, with Mi Yang, who is strange to Han Bai, will he tolerate a disobedient family?
The wind in Guanzhong rises, maybe it will always be him who stands on the tide from beginning to end!
