Chapter 59: Seeing through Zhang Liang's plan

The adjutant general noticed that Li Zhao was too cautious and disdained to say.

But the meaning of the words can be heard by anyone, that is, they should go straight to the Yellow Dragon, not be suspicious here.

"Shaonei, I also think there is nothing to watch out for, I heard about General Meng's battle, they just killed the cottage directly, and scared the bandits to flee in all directions, that is to say, the bandits are a rabble, and the reason why General Meng failed miserably is the banquet."

The guard chimed in.

"That's right, Shaonei, we should kill them directly, as long as we are careful of their banquet." A dozen or so other city defenders said.

Li Zhaozhi wants to scold people, a group of elm heads, just beware of the banquet? Will people use it once and use it a second time? Zhang Liangzhi's strategy, how can they know?

But I still couldn't help but scold.

After a moment of contemplation, he ordered, "Adjutant General, take some people around to see if there are any other ways up the mountain?" ”

The deputy general was not happy in his heart, and secretly said that Li Zhao was too fussful, but he still left.

After a while, he came back to report: "Li Shaonei, there is nothing abnormal around, the mountains and forests are dense, and the thorns are everywhere, and it is impossible to go up the mountain." ”

Well! Li Zhao nodded and asked, "Is there anything special?" ”

The adjutant general snorted and said indifferently: "Yes, there is, but it's not anything special, it's just that there are some tables scattered around, presumably the people who attacked General Meng don't want it, and throw it away at will!" ”

"Table? What is the architecture? ”

The deputy general was a little disdainful, what kind of structure can the table be, each family has its own way, but how it changes is just like that, there is no need to react so much.

sighed for a while: I'm still a chick! I really don't know why His Majesty asked him to suppress the bandits.

"Made of wood, foldable and retractable, there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary."

Made of wooden frames?

"How many bandits?"

"About eight hundred." This is what he heard from Meng Yi's remnants.

Li Zhao frowned, and suddenly, a haze passed between his eyebrows, and he hurriedly ordered, "You step on the passage again, and look at the flat place a few steps." ”

The guard impatiently obeyed the order, and came back to say that it was five hundred steps.

"Five hundred steps? Five hundred troops? Enough to accommodate. ”

Li Zhao muttered to himself, and the next moment, his face changed, and his heart jumped suddenly.

Thankfully! Fortunately, in his previous life, he had studied Zhang Liang.

"This is a cage of life, don't break in, collect troops today, and kill them tomorrow."

Li Zhao loudly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

He still remembers that he had read some wild history in his previous life, that is, about Zhang Liang, who said that Zhang Liang met an old man wearing a coarse cloth short robe at the head of the Yishui Bridge, and later the old man gave him a book, called "Taigong Art of War", he relied on this art of war to help Liu Bang establish the Western Han Dynasty and become the founder of the country, and the old man is the legendary Gaoshi Huangshi Gong who is hidden in the cave, also known as the "old man on the wall".

And in the art of war, there is a combat method recorded - the life cage.

The one who lives the cage makes my soldiers marching horses and thistles terrestris; After digging turns, the width is five feet deep.

This account is so similar to what we see at this moment.

Moreover, as far as he knows, Zhang Liang is very principled in the use of troops, does not advocate fighting with force, and mostly wins by strategy, and the use of troops lies more in "one", and "one" people must concentrate their forces and unify their actions.

If he really uses the life cage, this time the 500 army will attack the cottage, it will definitely be a dead end.

"Collect troops?" The sergeants looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help but show a hint of disbelief.

You must know that when the army goes out from Xianyang to here, you have to march for most of the day, and the speed is relatively fast, and when it is a hot day at the moment, fatigue is inevitable.

It's not easy to get here, but they want to withdraw their troops, isn't this a trick on them?

"Li Shaonei, why do you want to collect troops? Let's take down the bandits in less than half a day, and you let us collect the troops, isn't this a frustration of everyone's spirit? The adjutant general refuted Li Zhao for the first time.

Although the other sergeants did not speak, it was clear from their expressions that they agreed with the adjutant general's opinion.

Li Zhao's face turned cold, and he stared at the deputy general, "Are you disobeying orders?" ”

"Don't dare!" The lieutenant bowed his head, but everyone could see his dissatisfaction.

"Since you heard it, withdraw immediately."

Li Zhao's undoubted tone made everyone obedient, no, this is a military order, but the resentment in his stomach arises spontaneously.

After evacuating the Sagayama, Li Zhao was not idle, he asked the deputy general to get some chariots, and the carts were loaded with stones, the deputy general was very puzzled, Li Zhao did not give him a chance to refute, and led a hundred people away, no one knew what he was going to do.

"Adjutant General, what is Li Shaonei going to do? Be all abroad. ”

"You see, it's just a bandit, what kind of chariot do you want, and it's not a march to fight, so why bother so much."

"What's even more outrageous is that you have to move so many stones, isn't that an increase in burden?"

After Li Zhao left, everyone complained.

"Hey! It's still a chick! I don't know how to pretend to understand, and I arrange it randomly, it's crazy. The lieutenant also agreed with everyone and sighed disdainfully.

"Then what should we do, we won't go crazy with him!" Some soldiers were very dissatisfied.

"What else can I do, Your Majesty asked us to listen to him, we can only listen to orders." Another soldier said.

"Have you ever seen a bandit move stones? Moreover, the battle should be resolved quickly, and we have wasted today's great opportunity, and we cannot waste it again. ”

"Yes, the soldiers are fast, we should seize the opportunity to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, as for Li Shaonei's military order, you can cut it first and then play it."

"Li Shaonei decided like this, obviously because he didn't want us to win military merit, adjutant general, did you say?"

The adjutant general's eyes blinked, and his resentment was even stronger, and he suddenly punched the big tree, and said indignantly, "Yes, he just wants to deprive us of our military merits, brothers, what are we joining the army for, aren't we just for military merits?" ”

"I've decided, let's set off early tomorrow morning, and if we are caught off guard by the bandits, our military exploits will be proper."

The adjutant will finally make a decision.

"But ......" some soldiers showed concern, "If Li Shaonei knows about this matter, wouldn't it be like resisting the order?" ”

"Humph! What are you afraid of, as the so-called generals are outside, the military order is not subject to it, and I will bear it with all my might, so it will be decided. ”

Many people echoed this, and soon, the adjutant general organized a small number of people to prepare for a surprise attack early tomorrow morning.

Li Zhao didn't know what was happening here, but he was heard by a dark shadow in a hidden place, and when everyone camped and rested, the black shadow disappeared, and soon found Tie Ying to report the incident here.

"Head, are we going to stop them?" The dark shadow asked.

Tie Ying waved his hand and said, "No need, our task is to protect Li Shaonei, and we must not expose it unless it is absolutely necessary, but this matter must be reported to the emperor." ”

"Ride the fastest horse at once, and give it to Your Majesty."

"No!"

The black shadow left, Tie Ying was expressionless, and said to himself: "Boy, I really don't know what ability you have to be so valued by His Majesty, now it's up to you how to deal with it?" When he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared.
