Volume 2 Funeral Post Chapter 74 Soldiers Do Not Tire of Deceit
When the Zhao army entered the city, Lin Zhonghu immediately ordered a group of soldiers and horses to guard the four city gates, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and the rest of the army camped on the spot, wanting to trap Yanmen City for a long time.
When Shi Yun returned to the city, he ordered Zhang Jin'an to lead the crossbowmen to defend the city tightly, and ordered people to collect food from Hecheng for military rations. The assignment stopped, and immediately secretly summoned his henchmen to come, so that he left the city at night and rushed to Taiyuan to move troops.
Let's say that Zhao Dahai said goodbye to Lin Zhonghu, went all the way to the west, bypassed the clouds, and went south after the left side of the river, eager to find the news of the Chang'an army.
On this day, when he came to a ferry, Zhao Dahai looked around and saw that there was no one around, and the crossing bank was overgrown with wild grass, which was obviously deserted for a long time.
He was feeling depressed, and suddenly saw someone on the other side of the river going down to the river to fetch water, seemingly wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, and a few more than a dozen people came later, all dressed in the same costume, all carrying wooden buckets and only caring about fetching water. Zhao Dahai sneered and said: "The Zhao army is ready to abandon Taiyuan and retreat west to Hexi, which shows that its country will not be long in coming. After a while, his heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly said: "Isn't it the Chang'an Army?" At this time, I saw a group of people and horses on the other side, about 100 horses, coming to the river, dismounted and unsaddled, and sat on the ground, one of whom held high a vermilion flag. Zhao Dahai fixed his eyes on the distance, and vaguely saw the word "king" written on the flag, he was secretly surprised, and said, "If the Chang'an army is here." Our two families made an appointment to attack Zhao State together, and now our Yan army is fighting against Zhao State to the death, and the Chang'an army is shrinking to the west of the river and watching from the wall. Okay, you Wang Shanxin, I'll cross the river and question me face to face, see how you reply?" made up his mind, then found a sampan, jumped up, and rowed straight towards the west bank with his arms in his hand.
Half an hour later, Kankan was close to the shore, Zhao Dahai could see it clearly, it was indeed the Chang'an army that was encamped here, and thousands of people had gathered at this time. He struggled forward, rowed to the shore, abandoned the sampan, and hurried ashore, looking around to find Wang Shanxin to speak. When the sergeants saw that he was coming alone from the other side, and their faces were in a hurry, they all surrounded the generals and asked, "Wuna man, who are you and what are you doing here?" Zhao Dahai said proudly: "Please ask General Wang of your department to come out and answer." When the sergeants saw it, they said, "Some of them have already rushed to tell the news." After a while, I saw a group of generals Zuo Tuan embracing a white-robed general striding over, and when he saw Zhao Dahai, a general Zuo said: "Who is here? What are you doing in my Chang'an army camp?" Zhao Dahai said: "I am a partial general under the command of the prince of Yan Wang, surnamed Zhao, and named Dahai." I don't know where General Wang is?" the general said: "It turned out to be Yan Jun's robe, and I am fortunate to be lucky." What are you looking for General Wang?" Zhao Dahai said: "Your ministry and my lord have already reached an agreement to meet to attack Zhao State. Can this matter be counted?" the general said: "This is indeed the case, and our department will also abide by the agreement. Zhao Dahai said: "Since your ministry has kept its promise, it should go straight to Zhao Realm, why did you set up camp here?" At this time, the white-robed general stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Zhao should be anxious, please sit here." As he spoke, he took Zhao Dahai's arm and walked to a boulder, and the two sat down. The rest of the people sat around.
Zhao Dahai said: "Dare to ask the general's surname, what is his position?" Behind him, a general said: "This is the general of the imperial court and the king of Chang'an garrison. Zhao Dahai hurriedly greeted him in the army, and said: "My eyes are cloudy, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Wang Shanxin said with a smile: "You and I only talk about the love of the robe, there is no need for these vulgar courtesies, General Zhao, please take a seat." Saying that, he turned around and ordered someone to fetch good wine, and said: "I am fortunate to meet General Zhao today, and this glass of thin wine is superficial." Let's have a good time. The crowd cheered. Zhao Dahai had no choice but to take a drink and said, "General Wang is generous, and he understands it in his heart." If I don't want to see outside, because the matter is urgent, I have to take the liberty to ask: The general led a large army to garrison in the west of the river, and I don't know what is the best way to break the enemy?" Wang Shanxin said with a smile: "General Zhao doesn't know, our army is stationed on the west bank of the river, and the Zhao army in the east of the river is facing each other, and Shi Hu is in the deterrence of our army, so he must divide his troops to defend it, so he can't concentrate all his strength to fight your army." This is a constrainment plan. Zhao Dahai said: "Definitely." I have heard what people say: It is better to retreat and close the net than to raise the soup to stop boiling. You and I are tyrannical together, and the general wants to divide the land of Zhao, but he can't get it unless he goes to the army. At this moment, our Yan army is in the middle of the city in the clouds under the fierce battle is in full swing, the general should cross the Yellow River eastward, lead the army to take Taiyuan, Shi Hu must not be able to take into account the end of the end, after our Yan army conquers the clouds, and then meet with the general under the Taiyuan city, then Shi Hu will become a turtle in the urn. Wang Shanxin laughed when he heard this, and said: "General Zhao is arrogant, and he is a strong man." However, this march and battle are different from market brawls after all, the first of the troops is to make a momentum, and the second is to merge, so this is the way of the generals. If according to the general's words, our troops arrived at the city of Taiyuan, once they could not win quickly, they would inevitably be trapped here, and after a long time, Shi Yun would definitely divide his troops to return to Taiyuan, and at that time my Chang'an army would suffer from the enemy and would be destroyed. As the garrison of Chang'an, I must be responsible for the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, and I must not be cautious. Zhao Dahai frowned when he heard this, and said, "General Wang Hugh said so. At present, our troops are besieging Yunzhong and are unable to hold on to the Zhao army in the city. Wang Shanxin smiled faintly and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more." Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then said bluntly: "General don't want to lose faith in my lord?" Wang Shanxin was displeased and said: "General Zhao doesn't know anything. I have made it clear again and again that it is not that I will not cross the river, but because the situation is compelling, only by staying here can I remotely control Shihu. There is no need to mention the crossing of the river. Zhao Dahai knew that he had betrayed his promise and refused to cross the river to attack Zhao, so he was anxious, stood up, and said: "In the past, you and I were about brothers, and we discussed the matter of attacking Zhao. Why do you renounce the covenant and watch from the wall?" Wang Shanxin also got up and said, "When you say this, it is arbitrary. He turned away. Zhao Dahai was angry and sneered: "People have no faith, I don't know what to do." Generals should not cut off their own future. Seeing that the matter had come to this, he waved his hand and said, "The covenant I made with Murong Shizi is naturally counted. General, please come back. Zhao Dahai said: "Since you have made a number, please cross the river immediately to prove your heart." Wang Shanxin was furious and said, "How to march, this general has his own opinions. Forgive me for being a small general, and you dare to hold it up!" Seeing this, the generals behind him rushed to say: "You rammer, you don't know how to lift." Hurry up and go, so as not to beg for a beating!" Zhao Dahai angrily scolded everyone: "People have no faith, they only eat, and they are chickens and dogs." Wang Shanxin mistakenly thought that he was scolding himself, turned around, and shouted: "If you don't look at the face of the son of the world, you will feed the fish in the river! The generals were about to make a move, and Zhao Dahai said: "Stop! I have a word, and I will leave after speaking." If you lose your eyes, you will not be able to straighten your eyebrows, and if you lose your way, you will not be able to know and be confused. The general is good at himself. "I left without looking back.
