Chapter 211: Surprisingly Winning
It turned out that Han Cong was sent by Liu Yong.
The real Han was captured by Dong Qi at the beginning of the war, and Liu Yong immediately thought of this method after learning that this person was the son of Han Sui, the former Marquis of Xiliang, and had such a relationship with Jiang Chongda.
Han Liang, who entered Cao Wei's camp, was a personal guard by Liu Yong's side, not to mention his bravery, and this person was quite scheming, and he was the best candidate.
Fortunately, the real Han Cong did not recognize Jiang Chongda, which allowed him to deceive him very easily.
In this battle, Cao Wei's soldiers lost more than 10,000 people.
The two sides repaired their own trims, and there was no longer the arrogance of the first battle.
After one month:
Sima Yan's letters to Jiang Chongda and Hao Yi were sent to Cao Wei's camp, which stemmed from the news that Hao Yi reported to Sima Yan after the last defeat.
In the letter, Sima Yan did not blame the two for their ineffective fighting, but praised Jiang Chongda for being able to have such courage in leading the troops for the first time.
At the end of the letter, he told Jiang Chongda: If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will defend, as long as you can drag the queen of Shu Han here, wait for yourself to gather troops and horses out of Chencang. In the letter, he also asked Hao Yi to return to Beijing in the near future to help him deal with the major affairs in the capital.
It seems to be an understatement letter, but Hao Yi smelled an unusual smell.
He felt that something big must have happened in the capital.
Unfortunately, the sender didn't know about it.
Jiang Chongda's big tent:
"Is my brother still haunting his last defeat?" Han Wei sat at the bottom of the steps and asked.
In the entire big tent, there are only three seats, Jiang Chongda and Hao Yi are set up on the top of the steps, and only Han Yi can sit down below.
At this time, there were only two people in the big tent, Jiang Chongda and Han Cong.
"King Chitose of Jin wants Lord Hao Yi to return to Beijing, and General Ben is afraid that he will be alone and will have high hopes for Chitose." Jiang Chongda said.
Han Wei thought for a moment.
Although the king asked Lord Hao Yi to go back, he did not specify the date, which shows that this matter is not in a hurry. We can take advantage of Lord Hao Yi's departure to fight with Liu Yongna again, and if we can get lucky enough to capture Shangyong City, we can also ask Lord Hao Yi to return to Beijing to be more beautiful. ”
"Isn't there a good plan for the virtuous brother?" Jiang Chongda perked up and asked.
Han Yan stood up and walked to the steps.
"The younger brother got a report yesterday that the Shu army is transporting a large amount of grain from Hanzhong, and it is now halfway there. It can be seen that there is no food in Shangyong City and Wujun City, if the elder brother can send a force to cut off his grain transportation channel, so that the enemy's grain cannot be transported here, a few days later, there is no food in the city, and the enemy army will naturally collapse. ”
Jiang Chongda was overjoyed.
"Virtuous brother's clever plan." After a little thought, "It's just that I'm afraid it will take a long time, and it will be difficult to take down the upper class before Lord Hao Yi leaves." ”
"It's not hard." Han Yan said almost without thinking, "Brother can send a team to intercept his grain carriers, and after killing his soldiers, make people pretend to be his grain carriers, and trick them into opening the city gate. ”
Jiang Chongda stood up excitedly.
"The strategy of the virtuous brother is not under Lord Hao Yi, the foolish brother has you by his side, why be afraid of the Shu army. It's just that this matter still needs to be discussed with Lord Hao Yi. ”
Han Yan shook his head
"Lord Hao Yi is too cautious, I'm afraid he may not agree to this plan."
After Han Cong said this, Jiang Chongda also felt that Hao Yi was really a little cautious, so he thought about it and said, "It's okay, Brother Fool will send you to rob the grain, and after you lead the troops away, Brother Fool will find Lord Hao Yi to inform him about this." ”
Han gave a thumbs up.
"The elder brother is very pleased with this decision, and the younger brother is very pleased, and it is also said that Lord Hao Yi and King Chitose of Jin know that you and my brother are not idle people. It's just that I still need my brother to allocate more people to me, so that no one in the Shu army can escape, so as not to reveal the news and be wary of it in the city. ”
"Brother Xian, don't worry, Brother Yu will give you 20,000 horses, and after intercepting the grain and grass of the Shu army, it will not be too late to divide the troops and come back." Jiang Chongda said.
"Thank you, brother, the younger brother will go back to prepare, tonight the third watch secretly ordered troops, and my brother is only in the camp to wait for me to get good news." Han Yan said happily.
At night, Han Yan really secretly brought out 20,000 elite soldiers with Jiang Chongda's secret help.
It is said that the transfer of 20,000 horses from the camp will be very large, not to mention Hao Yi, even ordinary soldiers will be aware of it, however, in order not to let Hao Yi know, Jiang Chongda asked the warriors who led the troops to take the men and horses out in advance, and each of them looked for a place to hide, and they could not meet in one place until midnight.
Not long after Han Liang brought Cao Wei's men and horses out, a large number of Shu soldiers also poured out of Shangyong City.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Liu Yong transferred almost all the horses in the city.
Such a bold action even Dong Qi and Ma Chun felt that it was too risky, if the Wei army suddenly attacked, wouldn't Shangyong City be handed over?
Liu Yong firmly believes that this will be done.
"The enemy's strength is large, and if we can't get into danger, if we continue to wear down like this, our army will be defeated, and this is the only way to do it. The two generals should not be worried. Liu Yong comforted Dong Qi and Ma Chundao.
After three days of marching, Han Wei received a report that he was less than 100 miles away from the people and horses of the Shu army escorting grain and grass.
"Well, give the order to go down and camp in the col ahead, and no one is allowed to go out of the valley without an order, and if anyone disobeys, he will be beheaded immediately." Han said in a word.
The soldiers poured into the col.
The mountain was so large that there was only one road in the col, and the stone walls on both sides were like knives and axes, and the trees were so dense that 20,000 horses entered it and quickly disappeared.
Such a treacherous terrain aroused the alarm of several samurai.
"General Ben has been observing this place for a long time, and this is the only place where I can settle my men and horses without being discovered by the enemy. We will only wait for the enemy army to attack when it is coming, and cut off the grain and grass in one fell swoop, and we must not be suspicious. Han Yan pressed his sword and reprimanded loudly, "Since General Jiang Chongda trusts him, he will be properly settled, if you have any doubts, you will go to General Jiang to complain after you go back, at this time, you only need to listen to my orders, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" ”
Several samurai looked at each other, not daring to say anything more.
Another night came, and Liu Yong personally led all the soldiers of the Shu army to surround the valley from all sides.
As the first feather arrow fell, for a while, crossbow arrows, boulders, and rolling logs fell into the valley like huge raindrops falling from the sky, with a loud sound that destroyed the world.
Ma Chun personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to block the exit of the mountain pass, and according to Liu Yong's words: "Even if you get rid of a Wei army, General Ma Chun must come to see you." ”
The 20,000 Wei troops were besieged in the valley, like fish caught in a net, and there was no possibility of escape.
Until the last Wei soldier fell in a pool of blood, the sky was already dawning.
Liu Yong led the people into the valley, and after roughly counting the number of people, Liu Yong looked back at Han Yan, who had escaped long before the Shu army launched an attack.
General Han could not delay, and immediately sent someone to inform Jiang Chongda, saying that he had successfully intercepted the grain and grass of our army, and that he would reach Shangyong City in three days, and asked him to prepare. The general can accompany me to escort the grain and grass men and horses, and at that time, Jiang Chongda and others will be tricked into my city. There is no room for negligence in this matter. ”
"Your Majesty rest assured." Han Li replied confidently.
