Chapter 101: Bing Yuan's Offer
It is said that Cen Bi suggested from Wang Xuan that he stick to the camp and not come out.
Every time Zhao Chen led his troops to the front of the city, Cen Bi ordered people to shoot arrows to repel them, and never left the city.
For three days in a row, Zhao Chen made no progress at all, and he didn't even see Cen Bi and Wang Yu face to face.
This made everyone in Zhao Chen's camp very difficult.
Zhao Chen frowned tightly, estimating that in another ten days, Yuan Shao's army would arrive in the territory of Qi State.
If he can't take the camp mausoleum, Yuan Shao's army will besiege the city at that time, and Xu Sheng will have no way to retreat.
But now, the guards of the camp refused to fight, no matter how they mocked or did not show up, Zhao Chen had no choice.
I thought that I would use the strategy of attacking Huaiyin to let 3,000 soldiers write a letter to the city to see if it could shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city.
It's a pity that the people in the city didn't pay attention to it at all, and the letters sank like stones into the sea, without a trace of waves.
Seeing that time passed day by day, Zhao Chen stared at Yutu and was worried.
I'm afraid of this kind of stunned green, no matter what the door is closed, I don't care about it, I don't go out of the city.
Although Liu Xuande only has these soldiers and horses in his hands, Zhao Chen can't be at will.
But the overall situation is important, if the defenders of Yingling City still can't hold out in a few days, Zhao Chen can only order a strong attack.
On this day, Cheng Yu came to find Zhao Chen.
"Military division, it's not a way to go on like this, the camp and the mausoleum guard will not go out of the city, our army has been shouting in front of the city, which will hurt the momentum of the army, not to mention that there is not much military food left, continue to transfer it from Anqiu, otherwise the army is prone to chaos."
Zhao Chen nodded: "Let Chen Dao go to transport grain and grass and return to the camp as soon as possible." As for the destruction of the city......"
"Yu is here because of this."
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, but still informed Zhao Chen of his thoughts.
In any case, it is also a way to break the city, which is better than such a confrontation.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Zhongde, please speak." ”
Cheng Yu said: "Military division, the cost of the city attack and defense battle is the soldiers on both sides, especially the siegers, the soldiers who charged before need to stare at the ten thousand arrows, climb the city wall, and take the stronghold on the city, so that they can win the city battle." ”
Zhao Chen nodded: "It's because of this that the soldiers are too injured that I am reluctant to attack." ”
Cheng Yu suddenly said: "If I have a way to make the soldiers in the city dare not release arrows, what do the military advisors think?" ”
Zhao Chen was suddenly a little excited, if there was such a method, not only could he take Yingling City, but he could also greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, which was the best way!
He hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”
"Drive 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, most of the soldiers in the city are relatives, friends, and fellow villagers of the soldiers, if 3,000 soldiers are the vanguard, the soldiers in the city will not dare to release arrows rashly, and our army can take this opportunity to climb the city wall and kill into the city."
When Zhao Chen heard this, he rolled his eyes, isn't this the method that the old thief likes to use?
He hurriedly shook his head: "Although Zhongde's law may take Yingling City with the help of the hesitation of the soldiers in the city, it is unlikely. ”
Cheng Yu was very puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
Zhao Chen explained: "Zhongde's method is based on the 3,000 soldiers who are the beloved relatives and friends of the soldiers in the city, but judging from the letters sent in recent days, the soldiers in the city may not have much to do with the 3,000 soldiers. ”
After listening to this, Cheng Yu suddenly understood what Zhao Chen meant.
"So the military advisor speculates that even if 3,000 troops are driven as the vanguard, the soldiers in the city will release arrows mercilessly?"
Zhao Chen responded: "Yes." At that time, our army will not be able to attack the city, and it will ruin the image in the hearts of the 3,000 surrendered soldiers, which is not conducive to the integration of our army, and if it leads to a mutiny in the army, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome. ”
At this point, Cheng Yu understood everything.
I have to say that Zhao Chen's foresight is not as good as Cheng Yu.
Helplessly, another day passed.
Chen Zhi came back from Anqiu with military rations and brought another person.
Zhao Chen didn't know him.
Chen Zhi explained: "Military Division, this person was met in Anqiu City, and he claimed to have a way to help the military division take Yingling City. ”
When Zhao Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, and his vision fell on the thin man behind Chen Zhi.
"I don't know the name of Mr.?"
The man replied respectfully: "Hui Junshi, Caomin Bingyuan, the root of the word, Beihai Zhuxu people." Yesterday, I was studying with Mr. Sun Song in Anqiu, and I heard that the military advisor was worried about taking the camp mausoleum, and Gu Telai offered advice. ”
Bingyuan?
Isn't that Bing Yuan, who is as famous as Guan Ning, who cut off the seat and cut off righteousness, and is known as one of the "Three Heroes of Liaodong"?
This man had a poor family, his father died when he was eleven years old, and he became an orphan at an early age.
But this person was studious at a young age, and he was a famous bachelor and minister in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this person would be willing to come and help him break the city.
Zhao Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Bing Yuan to sit down and treat him politely.
Bing Yuan said with a smile: "The military division doesn't have to be like this, it turns out that here, I just want to help the military division." ”
Zhao Chen replied: "I don't know that Mr. Genju is in Anqiu, otherwise he will definitely come to visit, which is really disrespectful." ”
Bing Yuan was secretly surprised in his heart, Zhao Chen, a high-ranking and powerful person, did not see the aura of a powerful person in him at all, but was very friendly and cordial, more like an ordinary person, and etiquette was revealed everywhere in his words and actions.
If there is no one around you on the street in the city, it is estimated that no one will know that this person is Zhao Chenye, the famous Liu Beijun teacher today.
Bing Yuan faced Zhao Chen's politeness, and hugged his fists in return: "Strategist, Yuan came to offer advice today, and asked the strategist to analyze." ”
"Mr. Genju, please speak, and listen to you."
Bing Yuan got up and paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "The current guard in Yingling City, Nai Cen Biye, and a Yuan Tan strategist, surnamed Wang Mingxiu, the word Shuzhi. I was friends with this person, and I was willing to go to Yingling City to persuade this person to surrender, so that the military advisor could take Yingling City without spending a single soldier, how about it? ”
Zhao Chen was overjoyed and replied: "So very good, Chen is worried about not knowing how to break the city, Mr. is like a long drought and a rain, it is really the savior of the army, and please Mr. Work hard, go to the camp as soon as possible, and persuade Wang Yu to surrender." If this matter is successful, Mr. should be the first merit, and the dust must be reported to my lord Liu Xuande and give Mr. Xie. ”
"The military advisor doesn't have to be like this, and he didn't come here for thanks."
Bing Yuan didn't hesitate, immediately got up to say goodbye to Zhao Chen, and went to the camp tomb after leaving the camp tent.
Chen Zhi on the side saw Bing Yuan leaving, leaned over and asked Zhao Chen in a low voice: "Why does the military advisor trust this person?" Aren't you afraid that this person will reveal the secrets of our army? ”
Zhao Chen thought in his heart, Bing Yuan definitely wouldn't.
Bing Yuan is a person who values love and righteousness.
At the beginning, Sun Du, the Taishou Gonggong of Liaodong County, was afraid and disgusted with Liu Zheng and wanted to kill him, so his entire family was arrested, and Liu Zheng was able to escape. Gongsun Du informed the counties: "Those who dare to harbor Liu Zheng are guilty of the same crime as Liu Zheng." ”
Liu Zheng had nowhere to go, so he took refuge in Bingyuan.
Bing Yuan didn't say a word, and risked his life to take in Liu Zheng for a month.
Do you think this person can be trusted?
Zhao Chen confidently replied: "Mr. Genju is the most trustworthy and does what he says. ”
Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Chen's face full of confidence, and although he had doubts in his heart, he no longer spoke.
After all, he brought people in, and if something goes wrong, he is also responsible.
Now that the grain and grass have arrived, even if Bing Yuan fails to convince Wang Xuan, or secretly reveals the army, it may be better to lead Wang Xuan to dispatch, which is better than the current stalemate.
As long as the ice is broken, anything is possible.
