In the fifth year of Jian'an, on the second day of the fifth month, Baqiu County, Changsha County.

Five days earlier, Zhang Fei and Gan Ning had worked together to kill Xing Daorong in Xiaoling County, Wuling County, and then Liu Beijun spent another two or three days purging the remnants of the enemy, chasing down the rout, and restoring order.

After determining that the situation in the counties along the river in Wuling County was clear, Gan Ning also sent a fast boat down the river to report back to Baqiu at the mouth of Dongting Lake.

Early this morning, Zhao Yun, who was still besieging Baqiu County, received good news from friendly forces.

"What? Virtue is progressing so fast? In less than half a month, he took the counties of Zuotang, Xiaoling, and Yidao, and also annihilated the Xing Daorong Department sent by Zhang Xian to attack Nanjun? I have besieged Baqiu County for more than ten days, and I haven't breached a single city! ”

After Zhao Yun heard about it, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he rarely had a sense of crisis.

In the past three years, he has been making contributions faster than Zhang Fei under the command of the lord. Especially after becoming the brother-in-law/brother-in-law of the Zhuge family, the eldest brother-in-law and brother-in-law gave him a chance to give him a chance, which benefited him a lot, and he occasionally had a stroke of genius when using soldiers.

It's just that Zhang Fei's starting point is higher than him, and when he first came, his official position was far above him. So after three years of struggle, the official positions of the two are only equal-

Before the outbreak of the edict incident, Zhao Yun's final official position from the Xudu Imperial Court was a partial general, and Zhang Fei was a general, which happened to be at the same level.

But in this battle of Jingnan, Zhang Fei's achievements obviously surpassed himself.

Zhao Yun was very depressed, but after calming down and thinking about it, he felt that there was no way to do it.

As a diehard henchman of Cao Cao and the Sun family, Na Huanjie is very determined to follow Zhang Xian all the way to the black. And that Huan rank is also a little knowledgeable, more knowledgeable soldiers, and the basic skills are very solid.

When the other party was stubbornly defending the city, Zhao Yun was afraid of casualties, and wanted to ensure that Huanjie was killed in Baqiu, and did not want to let this thief continue to breed scourge, so he adopted the tactics of encircling on all sides.

As a result, the enemy soldiers fought to the death, and it was difficult to break through for a while.

The use of tactics to free up space in siege warfare is always less than that of field warfare and sports warfare, and it can only be a stubborn battle.

The past has passed, how to speed up the follow-up?

Zhao Yun threw the good news on his desk and couldn't help but fall into new contemplation.

And Zhao Yun's endless groaning also attracted the attention of Qujun Hou Wei Yan, who was responsible for helping Zhao Yun lead the way and spy on the outpost.

Wei Yan surrendered from Liu Biao's side, and he was more familiar with the local situation in Jingzhou. So this time, Zhuge Liang sent him to Zhao Yun, and he was specifically responsible for the work of the scout war.

The sentinel ship sent by Gan Ning this morning to deliver the good news was also intercepted by Wei Yan's scout team on the way, and after understanding the situation clearly, it was sent to Zhao Yun.

At this moment, seeing that the Lord was in difficulty, Wei Yan, who had been studying history books and studying ancient war history in Wuchang School Palace in recent months, couldn't help but have the heart to invite merit and seek progress, so he had the courage to offer advice:

"General, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not......"

Zhao Yun glanced at him, and was silent for a few seconds, but he could also guess the other party's mentality.

This young man is a person who is eager for quick success and profit, although this is not a bad thing, but I am afraid that he will be arrogant in the future.

However, the enthusiasm for advice could not be dampened, and Zhao Yun finally nodded and signaled to him but said that it was okay.

Wei Yan said cautiously: "My idea...... In fact, it's not very mature, it's me in the past few months, after observing the deeds of the two Zhuge Mansion monarchs to deceive the enemy, I imitated and figured it out, maybe I would draw tiger dogs, but I still want to dare to ask for advice. ”

(Note: "Painting Tiger Dogs" is in Ma Yuan's "Book of Commandments to Brother Yan Dun", and this idiom already existed in the late Han Dynasty.) ）

Zhao Yun saw that Wei Yan's wording was so careful, so he didn't hit him again, and only signaled with his eyes to continue.

Wei Yan pursed his lips and continued: "I heard that the princes deceived Sun Ce into fighting in Jiangdong, and the key is that 'obviously the army of the lord has not been able to kill the Jingnan rebels, and he can't be transferred to Jiangdong soon, but Mr. Ziyu deceived Sun Ce into thinking that the lord's army is about to go, and when the time comes, the two will have no chance to join forces with Sun Ce', so he forced Sun Ce to lose his breath and took the initiative to ask for a field battle.

And Zhuge Changshi was in Jiangxia, and the key was that 'obviously there was no danger in Jiangdong, and the lord did not transfer Jiangxia's garrison to reinforce the princes, but he deceived Zhang Xian into thinking that we had withdrawn it, so that Zhang Xian had the courage to fight'.

These two tricks, one is to show the enemy weakly so that he is about to become stronger, and the other is to show the enemy that he is about to become weaker, and in the end they both make the enemy unable to hold their breath, which is really similar.

If this trick is used in today's battle, General Zhang and General Gan have already broken the Changsha Lingling coalition army and killed Xing Daorong, but this news is not yet known to Huan Jie in Baqiu City.

General, you are tightly besieged, and it is easy to block this news for a few more days. In that case, why don't we try to deceive the Huan Steps, such as first withdrawing one or two or three of the four sides of the encirclement, leaving only the remaining sides to continue the assault.

Then pretended to use the withdrawn troops to return to the mouth of Dongting Lake to intercept Xing Daorong. If Huan Jiezhen was deceived and mistakenly thought that Xing Daorong had successfully broken through General Gan's blockade and successfully returned to the territory of Changsha County, then was it possible for him to get out of Baqiu City and join Xing Daorong in and out?

As long as Huan Jie dares to come out, it will inevitably be ambushed, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and it will be much easier to take Baqiu than to besiege and attack from all sides like now. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he finally interrupted: "Huan Jie is also knowledgeable, so he shouldn't be deceived so easily." However, your trick can be regarded as useless, and even if it doesn't work, there is nothing to lose, so it doesn't hurt to try. ”

When Wei Yan saw that the coach affirmed his point of view, he immediately became energetic and his confidence rose a lot.

This is the first time he has offered advice on a specific battle plan after he defected to Liu Bei, and it can be regarded as a harvest after studying hard in Wuchang School Palace for several months, and he wants to show it.

In the past few months, he has not only read the history of the war, but also often wrote down the places he didn't understand, combined with contemporary war examples, and asked Xu Shu or anyone else for advice and answers whenever he had the opportunity.

On the other side, Zhao Yun was a little complacent when he saw that Wei Yan's advice was adopted, and he also wanted to knock it a little, so he also followed Wei Yan's plan and pondered it, and soon found some trick applications.

Then Zhao Yun muttered to himself: "You want to imitate Ziyu and Kong Ming's weakness to lure the enemy, but you haven't imitated it enough. If you want me to say, this trick can continue to change down - when Xing Daorong is dead and Huan Jie has not yet known about his death, we can show weakness to lure the enemy.

If this step is ineffective, we will take the next step, and when Xing Daorong's death cannot be concealed, we will use intimidation to force the enemy to abandon the city. For example, we first pretended to withdraw from the siege on a few sides and used part of our forces to meet Xing Daorong.

If Huanjie did not go out of the city to answer or run, a few days later we would have made a big fanfare, saying that Xing Daorong had been killed by my own hands, and our army had wiped out 20,000 Xing Daorong with only a few thousand divisions. At that time, Xingba should be almost there, so we borrowed Xing Daorong's head and carried it with a gun to Baqiu City.

After the enemy confirmed Xing Daorong's head, the morale of the army was bound to be greatly defeated, and it was very likely that when our army was encircled again and had not yet closed the siege, he would quickly break through and escape, so that the city would be at his fingertips. ”

After listening to this, Wei Yan pondered carefully along this line of thought for a long time, and had to admit that Zhao Yun's change of trick was also very feasible, at least the degree of subtlety was not below him.

I only studied by myself in Wuchang School Palace for half a year, and asked Xu Shu for advice, but it was still not enough! A little bit of research on the experience of his own cattle people in the war is not as often as Zhao Yun who has the opportunity to directly consult with the Zhuge family.

It's still a loss in educational resources!

The two of them are equivalent to the little Taoist children on Wudang Mountain, following Zhuge Zhenren's observation and learning one and a half moves, a little bit of immortal energy, and going down the mountain to fight against mortals is already quite impressive.

……

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan ran into deception tactics, and did what they said in the next few days, and on the same day, Zhao Yun pretended to withdraw the siege on the southeast side of Baqiu City, and released rumors that he was going to meet Xing Daorong, who was returning to the army.

Even if Huan Jie, even if he saw Zhao Yun withdrawing, he didn't dare to send scouts too far away from the city, which could make a few days of information time difference.

In the past few days, Zhao Yun has not been idle, and he has also divided the cavalry to go south to Luo County, showing off his strength and deterrence in various ways.

His people in Luoxian made another statement, vigorously proclaiming that Xing Daorong was dead, Huanjie had been killed, and Baqiu had been attacked, in short, it was pure intimidation, trying to disturb the morale of the army.

In this way, after Baqiu is really uprooted, he can expand the results of the battle in one go, and let these panicked defenders surrender or run directly, Zhao Yun doesn't want to slowly fight the county towns of key hub nodes.

After three or four days of rumors, the defenders in Baqiu City were really shaken, and the voices of resisting the order of Huan Jie to defend were beginning to appear.

Huan Jie's desperate pressure, saying that Zhao Yun's withdrawal of troops must be deceitful, maybe he just wanted to seduce them out of the city. Relying on Huanjie's firmness and composure, he actually broke the first-stage deception strategy proposed by Wei Yan.

But as soon as the four days came, Zhao Yun assessed that the news of Xing Daorong's demise should be impossible to hide, so he advanced the second phase as planned.

On the morning of the seventh day of the fifth month, Zhao Yun returned to the west gate of Baqiu City with thousands of reinforcements with great fanfare, so that the defenders in the city could see with their own eyes that there were reinforcements coming from Liu Bei's side.

Then Zhao Yun asked people to carry Xing Daorong's head with a spear, and went directly to Baqiu City to show off his might, and told the defenders: When our army withdrew to meet the enemy a few days ago, Xing Daorong was killed and his army was completely destroyed.

Xing Daorong's head is recognized by many people in the Changsha army, and he can't fake it, not to mention that Zhao Yun's people also showed Xing Daorong's armor seal.

The other guards in Baqiu City were immediately angry, and pointed the finger at Huan Jie:

"Huan Langzhong! You said that Zhao Yun withdrew the siege and divided his troops to meet General Xing is a fraud, and he has to see death and not save him, and now Zhao Yun is taking advantage of the efforts of the past few days to defeat General Xing, why didn't we take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy's siege troops to go out of the city to counterattack General Xing! ”

When Huan Jie heard this criticism, he was also depressed and couldn't help sneering: Even if I opened the city gate and let the army out of the city at that time, would you waste dare to pick up Xing Daorong? I'm afraid I don't want to take the opportunity to break through and escape!

But there is no way to say this now, if you have to tear your face and say it, I am afraid that it will directly provoke the Changsha army to mutiny.

In the end, the troublesome generals were also exhausted, and said their alternative demands: since the big mistake has been made, and there is no time to respond to the rescue of General Xing, then it is not too late to make amends, and please Huan Langzhong take advantage of Zhao Yun's return and have not had time to re-encircle the other sides of Baqiu City, and quickly command the brothers to break through!

Zhao Yun came to attack again with the power of a great victory, and this time Baqiu City would definitely not be able to defend it! If you stay, you'll die!

Huan Jie, who could no longer control the boiling troops, was coerced to open the east gate and try to break through.

However, that night, he had just groped out of the east gate for more than 20 miles, and suddenly there was an ambush in the small forest next to the road, and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to kill and kill the Huan Ladder Department that broke through.

These troops were frightened birds fleeing for their lives, and when they saw this, they did not dare to resist at all, and directly knelt down and surrendered. Except for a small number of people who fled in the dark, the rest were annihilated.

After Zhao Yun destroyed the Baqiu defenders who were frightened to break through, he returned to attack Baqiu City and took the city almost bloodlessly.
