Chapter 07: Throwing Yourself into the Net
Not only did the Chu army go north and participate in the Central Plains war, which made the anti-Qin forces even stronger, but even Hebei gradually became in flames, and the war was about to break out.
The self-reliance of Han Guang, the king of Yan, has seriously violated the bottom line of the military ministers, he will not allow the Yan country to stand on its own, nor will he allow the Yan land that he has worked so hard to recapture, but has become someone else's fief.
On the third day after Li Zuoche was ordered to send back to Han Guang's family, Wuchen couldn't wait for the end of the war in Changshan County, so he ordered Chen Yu to be the general and Zhang Er to be the strategist, and hurriedly led his troops north to the border of Yan and Zhao.
Just when Wuchen was about to arrive at the border of Yan and Zhao, Li Zuoche had set up camp on the south bank of the Daqing River and waited for the army, and the Yan army that rushed to hear the news also set up camp on the north bank of the Daqing River.
Every day there will be wars, big and small, but neither side has suffered serious losses, and they are not willing to give up.
At this time, in the camp of the Zhao army, the military ministers sat high and went up, and on the side, Zhang Er persuaded bitterly: "The king, it is an unwise choice to tear the skin with the Yan Kingdom at this time, if the king is willing to listen to me, I can ensure that the king can sweep the Yan land in less than three years, and he will be invincible." ”
Wu Chen has really been dissatisfied with Zhang Er these days, and his chattering and persuasion again and again made Wu Chen a little annoyed, but just now Zhang Er's sweep of Yan Di made Wu Chen interested, and he couldn't help laughing: "What is a good way?" Let's talk about it. ”
Zhang Er saw that Wuchen was willing to listen, he was happy in his heart, and replied: "King, it is very difficult to control Yan at the moment, and we are not absolutely sure to enter Yandi, if the king is willing to collect troops back to Handan, rectify the soldiers and horses, and march westward, within two years, the Qin State will be destroyed, if the Qin State is destroyed, the king can sweep Guanzhong, gain a firm foothold, and become the head of all countries, and then the king will return to the army to the north, why worry about Yan is uneven?" ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Er still persuaded himself to stop Valveyan, on this issue, Wuchen is very resolute, he must not allow Han Guang, who betrayed him, to get away with it, what swept Guanzhong, what dominates the world, there is no joy for him to beg for Han Guang and kill the traitor with his own hands.
At this time, the military minister waved his hand impatiently and reprimanded: "The big war is coming, if you are shaking the morale of the army, be careful that the widow will punish your three clans!" ”
Wu Chen's words were so decisive, Zhang Er knew that it was pointless to persuade again, so he had to sigh lightly and retreat.
Chen Yu saw from the side that Wuchen had already made a killing move, he hurriedly walked out, and arched his hand: "Since the king has decided to control Yan, I think that we can defend Dazhai at the moment, form a cornering trend, and then send more scouts to explore the Daqing River, find the weakness of the Yan army, and strive to defeat the main force of the Yan army in a battle, and the Yan land can be determined." ”
Chen Yu's suggestion, Wu Chen was very satisfied, at this time he nodded, and said with a smile: "That's it, Zhang Xiao follows this king in the middle of the army, you and Zhang Er, Li Zuoche each guard a village, if there is a situation, you can report it in time, retreat." ”
The attitude of the military ministers determined the fate of the Zhao army, but everyone knew that whoever persuaded him at this time would have to die, and if he did not die, he would be deposed by the military ministers.
。。。。。。
The stalemate between the two sides has passed for three days, and the military ministers will come to the forefront every day, and watch for a while on the watchtower, across the vast Daqing River, you can vaguely see the Dazhai and banners of the Yan army.
The stretching Dazhai can not be seen at a glance, the north wind blows, the banner of the Yan army is like the blue sky, echoing the Dazhai from afar, from this point of view, the soldiers and horses of the Yan army are no less than 100,000 people.
For the newly rising Yan State, they should not have so many soldiers and horses, Wuchen was suspicious, he couldn't believe that this was true, in Wuchen's heart, he always believed that the Yan army was a suspicious strategy, in fact, on the other side of the Daqing River, there was no main force of the Yan army at all.
Thinking like this, Wu Chen looked at Zhang Wei beside him and sneered: "Guess how many Yan troops are on the other side?" ”
"According to the scout's report, the number of Yan troops is no less than 100,000, and the king should not be underestimated." Zhang Wei replied, and it was indeed Wuchen who couldn't help but sneer: "100,000 people? The widow doesn't believe that Han Guang has so many soldiers and horses, how about you and I make a bet? ”
Wuchen was in high spirits, but Zhang Wei didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, he couldn't help but persuade: "King, it's safer for us to strictly guard Dazhai." ”
"Humph!" Wu Chen snorted coldly, he looked at Zhang Wei coldly, and said hatefully: "Since you want to strictly guard Dazhai, the widow will fulfill you." ”
As he spoke, Wu Chen's eyes looked coldly into the distance, on the other side of the river, the boundless Yan army camp, "You will sit in the camp for the widows, wait for the widows to cross the Daqing River, and find out, so that you know that the Yan army is not as strong as you think." ”
When Zhang Wei heard Wuchen say this, he trembled in fright, and hurriedly persuaded: "King, don't ......"
Before Zhang Wei finished speaking, Wu Chen had already snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards Shuai Yuan, looking at Wu Chen's stubborn figure, Zhang Wei knew that he could no longer say that Wu Chen, so he had to sigh anxiously, turned around and ordered: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to see Zhang Er!" ”
。。。。。。
The Yan army was beside the Daqing River and helped defend the 70,000 army, but in order to confuse the Zhao army, Han Guang ordered that the number of 130,000 troops had been set up and the number of troops patrolled the camp every day, and the number of torches had been used to mislead the Zhao army.
This is also Han Guang's clever move, in terms of the ethereal number of people, it can create a strong atmosphere, so that Zhao Jun feels that the Yan army is strong and inviolable, and will not easily cross the Daqing River and fight with the Yan army.
Moreover, Han Guang is not an unreasonable person, he doesn't want to fight this battle, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a fatal injury to the Qin State when it is still strong, and it will give the Qin army a chance to take the opportunity to intervene and raise troops to eliminate either side.
At this time, there will be displaced people every day next to the Daqing River, and the Yan army will also try its best to accept these refugees, send them to Zhuo County, and then transfer them to other counties and counties to enrich the population of Yan Land.
But today, a group of about 20 refugees came to the vicinity of the Yan army's station, they pretended to be down, and prepared to go to the camp that accepted the refugees, but they observed the Yan army camp intentionally or unintentionally, and even sometimes, they even stretched out their heads to look inside.
This move was discovered by the patrolling Yan army, and a team of about 100 people hurriedly surrounded the group in the center, and an officer rode out on horseback and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Seeing that the Yan army was surrounding, Wuchen was already frightened by the six gods, and a personal guard beside him stepped forward and said with a smile: "This military master, we are refugees who escaped from Zhao Di and want to move to Zhuo County, please do well and let us go." ”
"Refugees?" The officer couldn't help but snort coldly, from the temperament and clothing of these people, there was no trace of a refugee at all.
But he also looked at these people carefully, although there was no shadow of a refugee, but he couldn't find any flaws, so he had to ask again: "Where are you from Zhao State?" ”
"We are...... Fan Yang people. ”
The officer suddenly found that when this person answered, he hesitated slightly, obviously, he was thinking, which made him more sure that this group of people must not be ordinary refugees, it is possible, they are the Zhao army scouts who infiltrated Yandi, thinking of this, the officer looked at the more than 20 people in front of him vigilantly, and coldly ordered: "Come on, search and see, do they have any suspicious items!" ”
Seeing that he had been suspected, Wu Chen subconsciously hid behind a personal guard, and this small action was discovered by the Yan army officer, and he immediately ordered: "Search him first!" ”
Several Yan soldiers swarmed up, firmly caught the Wuchen, searched, and found a token in the Wuchen's underwear, on which was engraved a unicorn, and on the surface of the unicorn, there were two words engraved 'King Zhao'. ’
The officer couldn't help laughing, did he have shit luck? This person is actually King Zhao?
In addition to being happy, the officer waved his hand and ordered: "Arrest them all!" ”
Suddenly, several guards around Wuchen took out short blades from their arms and fought with the Yan army, they wanted to rescue Wuchen, but the Yan army was too numerous, they could not do anything, so they had to rush to the side of the Daqing River.
After a scuffle, many guards died here, but a few people escaped.
In the Yan army camp, Han Guang discussed with Zang Di, Zhou Tong and others about how to drive away the invading Zhao army, but at this time, an officer walked in and said, "King, we have captured King Zhao!" ”
Han Guang didn't react at first, but soon, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Who? ”
"King Zhao!"
This time, Han Guang finally understood, he couldn't believe it, his soldiers caught King Zhao, and with doubts, Han Guang ordered: "Bring it up!" ”
A few soldiers pushed the Wuchen up, Han Guang stepped forward, looked carefully, and couldn't help but rejoice: "King Zhao! Unexpectedly, we would meet here! ”
In Han Guang's words, there was more ridicule and ridicule, and Wu Chen sighed, lowered his head helplessly, and ignored Han Guang at all.
。。。。。。
Zhang Wei knew that it would be very dangerous for Wuchen to go to the north bank of the Daqing River alone, and once Wuchen was captured, the entire Zhao State would be paralyzed, and even in danger of losing the country.
But Zhang Wei couldn't persuade the military ministers, and the stubborn military ministers in order to prevent their own persuasion, he actually left himself in the Zhao camp and went to Yandi alone to explore the enemy camp.
At this time, Zhang Wei quickly whipped his horse and rushed to Zhang Er's camp, where 7,000 soldiers and horses were stationed, led by Zhang Er.
As soon as he walked into the big tent, Zhang Wei shouted impatiently: "Lord Zhang, something is wrong!" ”
Zhang Er was writing a report, and he wanted to use the situation of the report to persuade the military ministers to give up this war with Yan, but Zhang Wei's anxious shouts interrupted Zhang Er's train of thought, and he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "What can make General Zhang so anxious?" ”
"Big ...... The king crossed the river in disguise and went to investigate the enemy's situation! Zhang Wei said urgently.
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so Zhang Er couldn't help but fall into consternation, and after a while, Zhang Er didn't have time to inform Chen Yu and Li Zuoche, and immediately ordered: "Come, gather five hundred soldiers, all with horses, follow me to rescue the king!" ”
Half an hour later, Zhang Er and Zhang Wei came to the side of the Daqing River, several sergeants came over with a ragged and panicked person, and after seeing Zhang Er, the mood calmed down a little, and he arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, the king...... The king was captured by the Yan army! ”
