Chapter 52: Capture the Baqiu
After receiving the letter from the arrow, Pang Tong laughed and said, "I have made a plan!" ”
Huang Zhong and others also took the letter and read it. Huang Zhong said: "Military advisor, what does this mean? Are there any of our people in the city? ”
Pang Tong smiled: "No! ”
Huang Zhong was even more strange: "Then how to interpret this letter?" ”
Pang Tong said: "Xu Su and Chen Xuan, I selected the soldiers and horses stationed in Baqiu in Jiangling City, and then through talking to them, I found out that the two fled to Jiangdong when Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and Cao Cao started a war.
After that, he joined the army and sat down to the captain. When the lord occupied Xuzhou, he won the hearts of the people. And the Jiangdong Army, which accidentally broke through and attacked the sneak attack, must have been unexpected by Jiangdong.
The guard general Zhu Huan is a native of Wu County. I don't have a hometown relationship with the two, so I take advantage of this bit of rebellion. Sending Zhao Yong to deliver the letter was to use him to know nothing, and the more he didn't know, the more suspicious Zhu Huan became.
Now this letter is Zhu Huan testing whether Xu Su and Chen Xuan are traitors. If we don't send anyone, we will prove that they are not. The opposite is true. I expect an ambush at the south gate. ”
Huang Zhong said: "In this case, we might as well take advantage of Zhu Huan's concentration of forces to ambush us and attack the remaining three gates." ”
Pang Tong said: "Not bad. But the south gate is also going to go. Baqiu is strong, and we have to drag the soldiers and horses at the south gate to successfully break through the other three gates. Hansheng, you and the two generals split up to attack the remaining three. I led my troops and horses to press the formation at the south gate, saw the firelight, and attacked together. Huang Zhong took the order.
Cheng Ji stepped forward and said, "Strategist, what am I doing?" ”
Pang Tong stepped forward and said: "Ji Ran, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses, go up the waterway, set up more flags on the hills, set up camps, and bluff.
We have been here for nearly ten days, and Lu Meng is a famous Jiangdong general after all, although he is defeated, he is not confused. I'm afraid he'll come for reinforcements, you just have to hold them back. "Cheng Ji took the order.
Pang Tong instructed: "Remember, don't engage them head-on. Cheng Ji promised.
On the night of the appointment, Pang Tong drove a thousand Jiangdong troops to the south gate, and saw the torches on the city tower, which was the signal of the agreement.
Pang Tong pretended to say that everyone is from Jingzhou, don't kill each other in the future, and let you return to reunite with your family now. Jiangdong surrendered the troops with great joy, thanked them again and again, and went away happily.
When they reached the south gate, someone in the city asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
The soldiers replied: "We are all overseers of soldiers and horses, Pang Tong thought that everyone is from Jingzhou, let us come back." Brothers upstairs, open the door! ”
Chengshang said: "It's that simple? So why not let others go? ”
The soldiers said, "We don't know about this. ”
The people in the city looked at Zhu Huan, and Zhu Huan said, "These are not surrenders at all. Liu Bei took the surrender of the troops, and he didn't let go early, but he didn't let go late, but he released it now.
Besides, because he is from Jingzhou, it is pure nonsense. Do you think I, Zhu Huan, am a three-year-old child? Who can hide this rhetoric, let it in, and wipe it out! ”
His men agreed and opened the gates. The soldiers saw that the gates of the city were wide open and swarmed in. As a result, he fell into Zhu Huan's ambush.
The soldiers shouted loudly to identify themselves. Zhu Huan sneered: "The spies who were caught, Xu Su and Chen Xuan both said that they were wronged. It's good now, even these people who cheat the city feel wronged. Well, it's all hard-mouthed. Come, give me arrows. ”
Pity these thousand soldiers and horses, I thought that Pang Tong would let them go home as a way to live. But I didn't know that Huangquan Road was near. The arrows were dense all around, and except for dozens of people who escaped, the rest died.
Zhu Huan pointed at Xu Su and Chen Xuandao: "What else do you have to say now?" Come on, take them down, and behead them tomorrow at the head of the city, and show Pang Tong and them the fate of the traitors! The two cried out for mercy. Zhu Huan ignored it.
The soldiers escorted the two men. His sergeant hurriedly came to report: "General, the big thing is not good. Thieves appeared at the west gate, and they began to attack the city. ”
Zhu Huan was shocked, most of the soldiers and horses defending the city were concentrated here, although the other three gates were guarded, but there were less than a thousand people, and they were scattered.
Zhu Huan shouted: "Follow me!" ”
Huang Zhong led his troops to the north gate, and when he saw the fire of Zhu Huan at the south gate, he set up a ladder and quietly ascended the city.
When the guards heard the sound, they dropped their torches to check. When I saw the Han army climbing, I didn't have time to shout.
Dense arrows shrouded from under the city, and the unprepared Jiangdong army was shot down, and then the arrows continued, suppressing the Jiangdong army.
The Han army took advantage of the situation to climb the city, and the Jiangdong army was in close contact, as the gap opened, the Han army began to be in an advantage, and the Jiangdong defenders were not enough in number, and they were quickly killed and scattered.
The Han army opened the city gate and let Huang Zhong enter the city. The other two are similar, but in chronological order. Zhu Huan led his troops back to help, and first met with the Ximen Han army, Zhu Huan rose up and fought with the Han army.
The Han army was defeated by Zhu Huan and was defeated by Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan commanded the soldiers and horses to kill the Ximen Han army and retreated step by step.
After Huang Zhong and the soldiers and horses of Dongmen arrived, the situation changed. Although Zhu Huan is brave, he is not as good as Huang Zhong. There were not as many soldiers and horses as the Han army.
Zhu Huan had no choice but to break through. How could Huang Zhong let go of Zhu Huan, take the lead and entangle Zhu Huan. When they are exhausted, they are captured alive. Surrender the Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
After dawn, Pang Tong was in full control of Baqiu. Huang Zhong reported the situation in the city clearly.
Pang Tong said: "Han Sheng, there are still dozens of Jiangdong soldiers and horses who entered the city last night, let them go home, and at the same time tell the people of Baqiu City about the actions of the Jiangdong army last night."
sent people to spread the cruelty of the Jiangdong general Zhu Huan, in order to avoid wasting food on the returning troops, and fearing that they would pass on the benevolence of the lord to the people. They were brutally killed as thieves.
Our Han army took pity on the people, and the families of these killed soldiers and horses came to claim the bodies and gave these soldiers burial expenses and pensions. Huang Zhong promised.
Pang Tong saw that Huang Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, and said to the nearby soldiers and horses: "You all go and get busy!" I spoke to General Huang alone. The people withdrew.
Pang Tong looked into the distance and said, "Hansheng has something to say!" ”
Huang Zhong sighed: "Military advisor, I just want to ask, the thousand soldiers and horses ......." ”
Pang Tong said: "You are right, I did it on purpose." Everyone, Zhao Yong, Xu Su, Chen Xuan and those soldiers and horses. They don't know it. This is my counter-plan, after quickly taking down the city.
Xu Su and Chen Xuan were wronged, and I can quickly persuade them to surrender and assist in the next defense of the city. If a thousand soldiers are killed, the people of Baqiu City will quickly turn against us. Baqiu Jiangdong has been in business for 11 years. This method is used. There is no loss to us either. I know, it's poisonous. ”
Huang Zhong said: "Military advisor, I don't mean to blame you. Tell me this, and I'll call the shots. ”
Pang Tong wondered: "Is there a difference?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "Yes, military advisor, this plan hurts people. I, Huang Zhong, am my age, and I have no children. Don't care and don't be afraid! But military advisor, you are so young, and you have to assist the lord for a long time. It's up to someone like me to do this kind of thing! ”
Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "Hansheng, to be honest, I hesitate to use this strategy. But it was done anyway! Because Jiangdong played me, and more importantly, he played the lord.
And I, Pang Tong, am an accomplice. Ceded Xiakou, Changsha, and Guiyang in exchange for white clothes to cross the river. Almost, a little later, it's a different story.
The lord didn't blame me. Since I defected to my lord, my lord has obeyed me and trusted him as a confidant. I don't want to repay the Lord in this way. I hate Jiangdong and I want to chew him up.
If you hurt someone, you will hurt! It's a big deal, I don't care. I'm finally happy now. Hansheng, I Pang Tong has no intention of using others to bear it, this is my character! ”
Huang Zhong was silent for a moment and said: "Military advisor, since we march together and bear it together, no one will be afraid!" The soldier is treacherous, and he does everything. Together next time! ”
Pang Tong said: "Hansheng, just call me Shiyuan!" The military advisor sounds awkward! ”
Huang Zhong smiled: "Shiyuan." Pang Tong laughed loudly.
Then Huang Zhong said: "Shiyuan, the lord won't be happy to hear you do this!" ”
Pang Tong touched his head and said, "Eh, I also thought of it, I have to find a way to tell the lord." ”
The sergeant told Xu Su and Chen Xuan to invite them. Pang Tong went to meet him. Solicit two.
The two glanced at each other, and Xu Su arched his hand and said, "Mr. Pang, the villain asks, this is Mr.'s strategy." ”
Pang Tong said: "Yes, I found out that the conditions of the two of you are the most suitable by interrogating Baqiu's troops, so they are set as the target of the rebellion!" The two sides exchanged troops, and they had to be like this, forgive me! ”
The two sighed: "We don't want to blame Mr., we just want to ask to understand, we have been in the army for more than ten years, and we have accumulated military merits before we climbed to this position, but we didn't expect that we didn't even have a trace of trust!" ”
Pang Tong said: "It's easy to say. The two of you are outsiders, not local forces in Jiangdong. Zhu Huan is a native of Jiangdong. Secondly, my lord Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou, which is terrifying. Therefore, you two are under suspicion! ”
Xu Su said: "That's it! No one believes me when I go back now. It's just a small home! ”
Pang Tong said: "It's easy to do, where are they going to pick it up immediately!" Don't show up until you're done! "Thank you.
Pang Tong said: "Although it is inconvenient for the two of you to show up, Baqiu needs to bother to check and fill in the gaps to defend the two of you." ”
The two of them bowed and said, "I will do my best." Pang Tong was overjoyed and sent someone to take the two.
After the two left. The sergeant helped Zhao Yong over on the left and on the right. Poor Zhao Yong was beaten miserably. When he saw Pang Tong, he didn't dare to cry, for fear of pain.
Pang Tong said: "Zhao Yong, hard work! I'll give you two hundred gold. One hundred taels agreed before, one hundred taels will give you to recuperate. When the time comes, where you move, I'll give you a petty official to sit on. ”
Zhao Yong said: "This is different from what I said before, they asked me to recruit me." I don't know what to say. And they called me treacherous. Look beat me up. I've recruited everything I've done since I was a kid, and they've beaten harder. ”
Pang Tong smiled: "Okay, okay, you originally committed a capital crime, so wouldn't it be considered a death death?" Go and heal! ”
The sergeant was about to help him down, but Zhao Yong added: "That money, that money." ”
Pang Tong said: "Give it immediately, and it won't hurt if you spend this money with you to heal your injuries." Zhao Yong nodded, and the sergeant helped Zhao Yong to leave.
(The start of construction is imminent, there are many things, and there is only one more chapter today, forgive me.) )
