Chapter 46: Thunder
Let's say that Zhang He was scolded by Li Xian with a smile before the last battle, and he was furious when he returned to the camp tent, and broke four or five cases one after another, if it wasn't for Le Lin's timely dissuasion, I was afraid that this Zhang He would smash the camp tent, and on the other hand, Li Xian, who laughed and scolded Zhang He, walked back to Chencang City from the front of the two armies calmly.
Inside Chencang City.
"Cao Rui has changed his coach." Li Xian gently dusted off the snow on the rattan armor and said to the generals in the city.
The generals looked at each other, Tian Dali couldn't bear it at first, and asked, "General, how can you see it?" ”
Li Xian shook his head and said, "Zhang He's guy won't use this method to talk, and now there are only two people who can drive Zhang He." ”
Tian Dali didn't understand it even more, so he asked, "General, who is that?" ”
"Sima Yi and Cao Rui." Li Xian said lightly, then turned his head to look at the generals and said, "I have already told him the news of General Zilong's death, and it is up to him whether he believes it or not." ”
For a while, the generals were in an uproar, and Liao Hua stepped forward and said: "General, will it be too much to inform the other party of the truth about our army like this?" ”
Li Xian just smiled and said: "General Liao's confusion should be one of the focuses of the generals, why did the general say this, in fact, the general just wanted to say so." ”
Everyone was still puzzled, and between doubts, Li Xian coughed lightly again, and said slowly: "No way, some people think they are smart, if you tell him it's true, he will think it's fake, and if you tell him it's fake, he will think it's true, so I can only say that." ”
However, Zhang Ning reacted first, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that the general deliberately told them the true news, and they will think about the fake aspect?" ”
Li Xian just smiled and said nothing, secretly saying in his heart that he was worthy of being the last leader of the Wudang Fei Army, it was probably good to be able to guess it, and continued to say to the generals in the hall in a blink of an eye, "Everyone, Sima Yi personally came to Dao Chencang City, since he is stationed here, I think the prime minister should not be far away, it is estimated that in about January, there will be a decisive battle on this Wuzhang Plain, when the generals are more patient, when the water of the Kaichun River thaws, our army will be able to fight the victory, let's go here today, or go back to the post and take turns." ”
All the soldiers arched their hands in unison and said, "Get the order." Then they all stepped back.
In the huge Taishou Mansion, only Li Xian was left alone in an instant, and he looked at the huge map hanging on the wall again, but this time his eyes suddenly wandered to an extremely hidden place, which was connected to this Wuzhang Plain, and on the huge Wei Plain, an extremely narrow valley mouth was highlighted in the south, and the shape was almost the same as that of a gourd.
Li Xian muttered to himself, "Could it be that this place is the upper valley?" ”
Suddenly, Li Xian seemed to think of something, and immediately shouted: "Prepare the horses left and right, follow me to the original to have a look!" ”
Immediately out of the camp gate, stepped on the flying rainbow horse, with a few relatives, then went to the original, along the original winding road, finally to the south, winter is all things killed, and this valley in the careful look, really like the gourd mouth in general, the valley naturally formed two circles of terrain, enclose it inside, the original to this is the narrowest place, only five zhang wide and named, not long in the snow, a few galloping deer out of the snow.
Li Xian suddenly closed his eyes, and began to simulate a series of pictures in his mind, such a hidden entrance to the valley road, no wonder even Sima Yi would fall for the trick, until half an hour, Li Xianfang opened his eyes, revealing an unprecedented fierce gaze, and then raised his horsewhip and said, "Go back to the city!" ”
No one knew what Li Xian was thinking, and even these relatives didn't know why Li Xian took a risk out of the city, and specially came to this small valley to take a look....
In the early spring, although the grass does not grow and the warbler flies, but it is indeed the time when the grass on the plain gradually emerges, the Wei River also begins to thaw gradually, Sima Yi ordered people to erect nine pontoon bridges on both sides of the Wei River to communicate the southern and northern plains, and Cao Rui, who has been in this place for more than a month, has also received a lot of Luoyang courtiers to request to return to Luan, but Cao Rui's determination does not seem to waver, he said that Long Xuan stayed in Chang'an, giving everyone a false impression that the Son of Heaven is still in Chang'an, and he secretly arrived at Cao Zhen's military array and seized Cao Zhen's military power. and drove him back to Chang'an.
"Hasn't the prime minister arrived yet?" Li Xian calculated the date, according to the development of this situation, it is possible that once the Wei River is completely thawed, Sima Yi will lead a large army to attack Chencang, and then it will be an absolute crushing force advantage, but I don't know why Zhuge Liang has not yet arrived.
Not long after, a burst of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, a huge spring thunder accompanied by a continuous spring rain, suddenly fell for a while, but the winter chill has not yet receded, this spring rain really makes the skin as cold as a knife.
Tian Dali and Xu Zhen entered the Taishou Mansion at this time, holding the wine jar in one hand and gnawing on the leg of mutton in the other, the two of them are the same, Tian Dali wiped the oil on his mouth first, and said: "General, when do we have to stalemate, when will the prime minister come, everyone has been holding back for more than a month, can't they go out of the city to kill the enemy?" ”
Looking at Xu Zhen in a blink of an eye, Xu Zhen also nodded: "It's just.. Woo, woo, I wanted to go out of the city for a while. ”
Li Xian looked at Xu Qian, who was chewing, and felt that these two people were a little cute, so he just said lightly: "It's okay, two, this rain is quite chaotic, maybe it's a delay on the road on a rainy day." ”
Tian Dali nodded and said: "What the general said is that the snow has not yet melted, and it is estimated that the road is relatively muddy, and it is normal for the prime minister to come slowly, but this rain is really uncomfortable, and I think that Sima Yi will not attack the city on a rainy day." ”
Li Xian nodded when he heard this, this rainy day is not only difficult to erect a ladder, but also extremely easy to get sick in the rain that has just entered spring, not to mention that it is a sergeant, and when the time comes, the cold will spread ten or ten hundreds, and it will be even more out of control, in fact, Li Xian hopes that this rain can stop as soon as possible than Sima Yi.
This spring rain fell for three days in a row, and the Wei River, which had already begun to thaw, also stopped the trend, until three days later, the sky suddenly cleared, which revealed the original appearance of the Wei River.
"Lelin obeys orders!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead the 10,000 infantry of the leading troops, set up ladders, rush the siege equipment, and storm the west gate of Chencang, remember to contain the troops in Chencang City!"
"Order!"
"Zhang Hu listens to orders!"
"The last general!"
"General Le Lin has involved the main force of Li Xian's troops at the west gate, you can use your troops and horses to make a feint at the north gate, and beat drums and shout outside the city gate."
"Order!"
"Deputy Governor Zhang He listens to the order!"
"The last general!"
"Now that Zhang Hu and Le Lin are already involved in Li Xian's department on both sides, the general can make a detour to the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains and take the southeast city wall, so that they can't take care of each other, and the governor of Bendu will personally supervise the army for you!"
"Order!"
After Sima Yi dispatched his troops, he immediately got up and said to Cao Rui: "Please also ask Your Majesty to sit firmly in the Chinese army and see how our army can break through this city!" ”
Cao Rui's face was like a flat lake, and he said: "Okay! Then I am waiting for you right here. ”
Chencang Chengtou.
"General! Oh no, then the Wei army began to attack the city! ”
Li Xian nodded, and looked at the north gate city wall in a blink of an eye, sure enough, it was a complete set of equipment, a rushing car, a ladder and other things, and then looked at the west city wall, Zhang Hu's troops were beating drums and shouting under the city, but they never attacked, but Le Lin's side had to be on guard.
Immediately ordered: "Gong Jie obeyed the order, and led the divine arm archers to block the enemy in the northern city, so that he could not approach." ”
Li Xian hesitated, Zhang He's department never appeared, logically speaking, this kind of offensive field, Zhang He's famous generals are the soul of the army, if there is a lack of this kind of general, the siege will inevitably reduce morale, so where will he appear, Li Xian has no time to think about these things at this time, so he arranged for Liaohua Zhang Ning two generals to guard the southeast city wall, in order to complete the defense.
Li Xian sighed in his heart, in the end, it was Sima Yi who used the troops, and now the most powerful enemy general has never appeared, once it appears, it is estimated that it will be in the weakest place of the city defense, and he can only order the four generals to guard each city, except for the western city wall of Tian Dali, who has no experience in defending the city, which is personally commanded by himself, and the rest are well arranged.
The northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Sima Yi climbed high and looked, but saw that the Le Lin Department was delayed by the feather arrows, and Zhang Hu's military formation has never moved, but it is the southern city wall that he thought he had succeeded, but there are many sergeants, and his heart is also admired, Zhang He was defeated at the hands of this person, he was really not wronged, but he didn't have time to think about it, and the fast horse came to Zhang He's army and ordered to turn back.
Zhang He arched his hand and said: "General, the order is changed, what does this mean?" ”
Sima Yi said unhappily: "General Zhang, for the general's impromptu adaptation, now the plan to attack the east and the west has not worked, why bother to go on, when the time comes." ”
Zhang He was helpless, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Obey." So he took his troops back to the camp.
Cao Rui saw the second general coming back in a gloomy manner, and he was also puzzled in his heart: "Why did Aiqing withdraw without handing over a single soldier?" ”
Zhang He didn't want to speak, just waited for Sima Yi to speak, Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister originally wanted to use the sound of the east to attack the west to shake this Li Xian, but this person is not fooled, if our army continues to go deep into the south, once the Liangzhou Zhuge Liang generals return to help, our army will have no way to retreat, so we have to turn back." ”
"What about General Zhang? What do you think? Cao Rui asked.
Zhang He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Sima Dudu... What is said is extremely, the minister... The minister thinks so, too. ”
Cao Rui nodded, and said with a smile: "It's rare for two people to have the same enemy, and I'm very relieved." ”
Zhang He glanced at Sima Yi again, but saw that this thing was in a cold sweat, but he didn't know what this Sima Yi was afraid of.
"The two governors, it's okay, this Chen Cangjian City is difficult to capture in a while and a half, why don't our army tempt them to fight a decisive battle on the Wei Plain, so that the might of our cavalry can be great?" Cao Rui asked.
Zhang He immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't want to fight with Li Xian on the plain, it's just that this person is really the world's first good general, and I was helpless in Longcheng that day. ”
Cao Rui frowned: "Sima Dudu, do you have a way?" ”
Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty does not need to worry, once the spring is warm, our army will be able to press on it, and there is no need to be afraid of this fortified city at all, even if this Chen Cang is strong, our army's strength is almost ten times that of Li Xian, so why be afraid?" ”
When Cao Rui heard this, he nodded and said, "Sima Dudu means that you can attack by force?" ”
Sima Yi arched his hand and said, "Exactly, Your Majesty." ”
"That's it, you people who have been leading troops all year round know more about this military, and I don't command you, you just need to regain the lost territory for me."
"The ministers must live up to Your Majesty's grace."
Chencang Chengtou.
"General, the prime minister has arrived, this is the vanguard, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, and the five thousand war horses promised the general have also arrived." .....
