- Chapter 425: Wen He¡¯s clever plan can bring peace to the world
Jiyin City was just conquered by Zhen Yao, and now Liu Ye's troops are stationed there. Liu Ye came here just to find some supplies. After emptying all the small granaries in the city that had not been touched, he immediately buried pots to make rice. He and his soldiers had been hungry for three or four meals.
A small granary could store only a few hundred stones of grain, and nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses would have nothing left after just one meal. This is why Zhen Yao looked down upon the granary in the city and did not completely empty it.
After having a full meal, Liu Ye also began to think about how to continue heading west. Jiyin is not far away from Changyi, but it may not be that simple to return to the city smoothly. It is necessary to ensure that most of the soldiers under his command return to the city so that they can help the lord, otherwise chaos will inevitably occur.
After thinking about it, Liu Ye also made a plan. If he wants to enter the city, he must first lure away the besieging soldiers and horses. Then he can take the opportunity to get in touch with the city and let the soldiers and horses in the city come out of the city to support them. When the two soldiers and horses meet, they can win first. field, and then return to the city calmly.
In this way, not only can the goal be achieved, but also the morale of the soldiers can be improved a little. During this period of time, the soldiers are tired, losing more and winning less, and they are already a little restless. If they don't improve, some soldiers will soon flee the camp.
Liu Ye thought like this, and did not give the order to move forward until noon on the second day. The soldiers had a full meal last night, so they would not be too hungry for the time being, and they could march quickly. Twenty thousand soldiers dragged their feet out of the city and continued westward.
Liu Ye didn¡¯t know that when he entered Jiyin City, his every move would be under the eyes of Jia Xu, the mastermind of the Zhen family. While listening to the report from the scout, Old Man Jia carefully groped the map in front of him. It wasn't until he heard that Liu Ye had arrived at the boundary of Changyi that he showed a sly smile. Everything was still under his control.
As soon as Liu Ye arrived in Changyi, he made a move. After a while, his sentry came to the military tent, clasped his fists and said: "Military advisor, just now the soldiers and horses from Jiyin attacked the southern formation outflanking Changyi. Yan Rou General, please give me permission to send troops?"
Jia Xu¡¯s expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, ¡°Tell General Jianzheng that if you are confident, you can attack from the rear.¡±
"Promise!" The ordering soldier clasped his fists again and quickly left the tent. When the war is going on, the soldiers who are small soldiers are naturally the most pitiful. They are rushing to various battlefields, and it is difficult to even take a break.
"Liu Ziyang? What will you do next!" Jia Xu silently looked at the military map of Changyi in front of him. The soldiers, horses, and defenses everywhere were clearly displayed, and there were many soldiers and horses waiting for the edict. These are Jia Xu was prepared by Liu Ye.
"My lord, why are there killing cries outside the city? Could it be that Zhen Yao wants to trick me into waiting to leave the city?" The siege of the city continued, and there seemed to be waves of killing around the enemy formations outside the south of the city. Xia Houyuan couldn't help but ask attentively.
Cao Cao's face was calm, and he couldn't help but think in his heart. Because they were too far apart, he would definitely not be able to see it with his eyes. He could only start from the current battle situation to analyze whether there were reinforcements or a trap set by Zhen Yao.
Before Cao Cao could think it through, the messenger came first, and what he said was not good news: "My Lord, General Lu from the North Gate has come to report that the enemy's offensive has increased again. Please call for reinforcements in the city."
"Is the North Gate offensive intensified?" Cao Cao's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and then he widened his eyes: "Miaocai, go and pass on my military order to deploy two thousand soldiers to the North Gate, and add one thousand more guards to each of the other east and west gates."
There are not many soldiers and horses available in the city. At least with Cao Cao's deployment of thousands, there can still be some left in the barracks. Xia Houyuan nodded and ordered to leave, and soon issued the transfer order to the camp.
After a while, reports came one after another from the east and west that the enemy's offensive was intensifying. Cao Cao was not surprised but overjoyed. He laughed and said: "Heaven will not destroy me. Yuan Rang and Zhong Kang, you two lead five thousand elite soldiers. Go out of the south gate and help the reinforcements defeat the enemy!"
"Reinforcements?" Looking outside the south gate, although the enemy's offensive has weakened a lot, there is no sign of reinforcements. The two looked at each other, but Xu Chu was braver and asked: "Lord, where are the reinforcements?"
"You just go out of the south gate and attack the formation of the Zhen family's troops. You will definitely meet the reinforcements then." Cao Cao touched his chin, pondered and said with a smile: "If Cao Cao expected it to be true, it should be Zixiao who sent troops to help. Got it!"
Because the city has been besieged, Cao Cao has no way of knowing what is going on in Chen State's war. Judging from the current war situation, reinforcements should be coming from outside the south gate. The pressure on the remaining three city gates increased in order to trap Cao Cao in the city and prevent Changyi soldiers from meeting reinforcements.
Thinking this way, there is no longer any doubt. Cao Cao has already thought that when reinforcements arrive this time, he can start to counterattack.
"Promise." The lord had his orders. Xu and Chu didn't hesitate anymore. They immediately turned back and walked down the city, rushing to the barracks to order all the soldiers.
Not long after Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun left, a messenger reported the news to Jia Xu: "Military advisor, the Cao family's troops have left the south gate, broke through the military formation outside the city, and are pursuing General Yan Rou."??
Jia Xu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Yan Rou and let him resist for a while and then retreat to the designated place."
"Nuo." At this time, the reaction of the pawns on both sides will be tested. If you can deliver battlefield news faster, you will be able to seize the initiative well. Obviously, Mr. Jia still has the upper hand in this regard for the time being.
"Why did my lord's soldiers and horses come out?" Liu Ye was commanding a small group of soldiers and horses to attract Yan Rou and his Wuji soldiers to leave the battlefield at the city gate. Originally everything was going smoothly, but now it was disturbed by the sudden appearance of soldiers and horses from the direction of the city in front.
Liu Ye found it unbelievable. After all, he had not sent troops to ask for help from the city. Even if the city knew that there had been changes in the south gate, given the character of his lord, he would not send troops out of the city at will.
Naturally, he didn¡¯t know that what really made Cao Cao order the troops was Jia Xu¡¯s order to the other three city gates. It can also be said that the strengthening of the offensive at the three city gates was entirely a military order issued by Jia Xu in order to get Cao Cao to send troops out of the city and cooperate with Liu Ye's actions.
There were changes in the battlefield, and Yan Rou, who was originally at an advantage, instantly turned into a disadvantage. Under attack from both sides, even if there were many soldiers and horses, they were still shackles and unable to move.
"If so, call in the soldiers and horses!" Looking back at the slope where his army was ambushed, it was only half a mile away. Liu Ye immediately decided to change his plan and whispered a few words to the messenger, who quickly flew back. Run.
"Coming to reinforce the army, are you Zixiao?" Because there were thousands of Wuji's men led by Yan Rou in the middle, Xu Chu signaled that although he saw Liu Ye, he couldn't see who it was, so he had to shout and ask.
"Exactly, General Zhongkang, first defeat the enemy soldiers before talking about anything else!" Liu Ye's voice was not loud enough, so naturally these words were not spoken by him, but by the soldiers beside him. The shouting spanned a full mile, which showed how loud the voice was.
"Fortunately, the military advisor gave me some advice, otherwise we would have suffered a disastrous defeat today." When nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Ye's command poured out from behind, Yan Rou's complexion also changed instantly. Recalling Jia Xu's instructions to him when he sent out troops, he couldn't help but feel glad that he had not forgotten them.
The soldiers and horses were not too scattered. It was easy to shrink if they wanted to. Yan Rou carefully followed Jia Xu's instructions. After resisting the attack of the soldiers and horses from both sides for a stick of incense, she quickly led the troops to retreat, but The speed is not too fast.
"Catch up and kill!" After many days of siege, they were finally able to win a battle. How could Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun let Yan Rou escape so easily? They shouted loudly and followed Wuji's soldiers straight away, as if they didn't want to kill Yan. Rou, the attitude of not returning to the city.
Things have developed like this, which is different from what Liu Ye thought the night before, but now our side has the upper hand and can win a big victory when entering the city, which can also explain to the master the current situation of the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong.
"Hmph, let's catch up. I'll let you wait for a while first!" Yan Rou didn't escape quickly. She looked back from time to time and saw Xu Chu and Liu Ye's soldiers and horses had gathered together and were chasing after her. She couldn't help but A sneer.
The battlefield Jia Xu chose for his troops was an area similar to a valley. The mountains on both sides had a steep slope, and the mountain road in the middle was wide. It seemed that there was no possibility of an ambush, but if you look closely, it looked more like a large circular sheet. The net covers a large area of ??mountainous land.
"Roar~~" When most of the Cao family's soldiers and horses had fallen into it, several tongues of fire suddenly spewed out from the steep slope at the back end of the mountain road. The flames spurted downwards, and only a burst of panicked shouts from the soldiers were heard. Afterwards, the mountain road into the valley was covered by the fire. Countless rolling logs were pushed down from both sides of the mountain, and there were also many flying arrows and thunder stones.
"How could this be?" Liu Ye felt cold in his heart. Only now did he realize that he had been deceived. It was obvious that this was an ambush for the enemy.
"Don't panic, follow a certain family!" The back road was blocked, and there was only one way out in front of Yan Rou. Xu Chu threw away his breastplate, turned over and dismounted, holding a machete in his hand and roared: "Those who don't want to die, follow let me try!"
"Kill!" Xiahou Dun also wisely chose to dismount. At this time, he was still sitting on the horse. He was obviously a living target for the opponent. He was fighting with Xu Chu with a long knife. The Cao family soldiers used the two as sharp knives and quickly approached. Yan Rou has turned around.
"This road is blocked. Put up your shield and raise your gun!" Yan Rou stopped. Naturally, he had his reasons. Attracting the Cao family soldiers to this place was only his first step. What was more important was to guard the mountain pass here. The soldiers and horses cannot escape from him.
There is no trick to "bang". At present, the Cao family soldiers under Xu Chu's command have no choice but to fight with their lives if they want to escape and ascend to heaven. They hit the shields of Wuji soldiers head-on. Many soldiers were killed by spears that suddenly penetrated between the shields before they could even raise their swords, leaving only a scarlet patch on the ground.
As the fire spread, the living space of the Cao family soldiers and horses in the valley became even narrower. The smoke billowed, making it difficult to breathe. Many soldiers with poor physical constitution, one by one?Shock coma.
The soldiers who entered the fire scene also fled to the hillsides on both sides, but soon they all despaired, because on the mountain, there were not only Wuji archers holding crossbows, but also many Wuji guards who were good at climbing, running and jumping, and their scimitars were swinging. If it passes, the blade will be stained with an extra layer of blood.
The Cao family soldiers in the valley had nowhere to escape, and outside the valley, there were also nearly 3,000 soldiers. They were all helpless at the moment. I don't know whether to risk jumping into the fire to save our own soldiers, or to simply retreat and return to the city to report to the lord.
They were accustomed to obeying orders from their lords and generals and could not make a choice immediately, but soon someone forced them to make a choice. Zhou Cang and Guan Hai were coming to attack from the mountain roads on the left and right, and they were not allowed to stop outside the valley without moving.
"Run, run quickly~~" There was a panic, and there was no command at all outside the valley. When all Cao soldiers saw the two groups of soldiers and horses coming to kill them, they all ran away with their heads in their hands.
Those who rush directly into the fire scene without choosing a path are basically saying goodbye to this great world. Some of them were clever and quickly evacuated from the way they came and retreated towards the south gate of Changyi.
Of course, there were those who escaped, and naturally there were more people who, seeing no hope of escape, chose to abandon their weapons and surrender. After all, they are just small soldiers and can be surrendered at any time and become part of another army. As long as the new lord can feed them, it's enough. In contrast, the officers and soldiers of the Zhen family were still paid, and they were the only princes in the late Han Dynasty.
"General, general." Among the generals who were besieged in the valley, Liu Ye was the first to be attacked. A missile flew by. He did not dodge it at all. It was pierced in the back of the heart and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Compared with Liu Ye, although Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun were not injured, they were not much better. Their faces were blackened and they were attacked by the fire. The Wuji soldiers in front of them were clinging to the exit, making all their efforts in vain.
An hour later, the first batch of reinforcements arrived, led by Zhao Yun. He glanced at Yan Rou and immediately commanded the soldiers to fill the vacancies under Yan Rou's soldiers, and slowly transferred the soldiers.
"Has a certain family been late?" After a while, Guan Yu also arrived. His men were led by the Wuji Iron Cavalry, and they were all together, so the infantry made way for them, because the cavalry was here to launch the final blow.
"Kill!" Led by the three generals Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Yan Rou, although there are only three thousand cavalry behind them, these three thousand cavalry can burst out with power that cannot be achieved by thirty thousand or even more soldiers and horses.
Before Xia Houchun could fight back, he was slashed to the ground by Guan Yu. In Zhen Yao's tent, everyone who is familiar with Guan Yu knows that the first strike of this man is the most difficult to defend against. It is fast and heavy. There are few generals in the world who can fight hard.
Xu Chu, on the other hand, was surrounded by Zhao Yun and Yan Rou at the same time. They were armed with two long spears, both of which were fast spears. Often, as soon as he blocked a move, the other man's spear would arrive in front of him. I was able to dodge in the first few rounds, but after five or six people met, I was hit in the chest and left waist. I was knocked off my horse by two spears and flew backwards to the right.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" The cavalry charged back and forth in the valley, and Yan Rou reined in his horse and shouted.
"Surrender, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill~~" Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison. When the general is captured, what can a few small soldiers do? Since you can save your life, then surrender.
"Pa bang bang" there was a sound of weapons falling to the ground. Zhao Yun waved his right hand lightly, and the Wuji soldiers stepped forward and began to rectify the surrender.
"Wenhe's clever plan can bring peace to the world." When General Zhao Yun returned to camp with the prisoners, news came out in Changyi City that the escaped soldiers had entered the city, causing panic. Zhen Yao praised him with a smile in front of all the civil and military officials.
What Jia Xu was least afraid of was his lord's punishment, but what he hated the most was such high praise. He immediately walked out of the desk and bowed and said: "This is the lord's order. All the soldiers have sacrificed their lives. Xu is just talking about it. No." Dare to claim this praise.¡±
Zhen Yao waved his hand, knowing Jia Xu's character, so he didn't say anything more on this matter. He motioned Jia Xu to return to the desk, and then continued: "Now, Changyi has become an isolated city, and the soldiers in the city are panicking. Are you there?" A good strategy is to capture the city as soon as possible?"
As soon as the question spread, Yan Rou couldn't wait to jump out: "My lord, if the general doesn't lead his troops to make a sneak attack at the end of the night, with the current Changyi city defense, we will surely capture it in one fell swoop!"
Although he defeated the troops of Liu Ye and Xia Hou, he achieved great success. But this kind of fighting style is not his Yan Rou's character, and he can't enjoy it at all. What he wants is a hearty and hearty fight, and it's best to fight hard all day and all night.
"Yao is very relieved that Jianzheng has such confidence." Zhen Yao first praised, and then said: "But a sneak attack tonight is not a good strategy. Who is Cao Mengde? Everything you can think of, he has already thought of it."
"My lord, how about surrounding three buildings?" During these days, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were in the limelight one after another. As the earliest and most senior schemer who followed Zhen Yao, Xu You was also under great pressure.?The situation is clear now. If he doesn't get some soup, his status among the conspirators will become lower and lower in the future.
"Zi Yuan, can you elaborate?" Zhen Yao raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Xu You stood up, first looked at the people around him, and then bowed and said: "My lord, although there is money and food in Changyi City now, it will eventually be used up. Cao Mengde cannot remain trapped in the city without any action."
"It would be better if we leave a southern gate open for Cao Cao, so as to give him some hope. And my lord can order the two generals Wenyuan and Yide to lead the troops to Changyi. They do not need to come to the camp to meet up, but hide outside the south gate." Just bide your time.¡±
Zhen Yao looked around at his subordinates Wen Wu and asked, "What do you think of this plan?"
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and asked: "My lord, the Cao family's soldiers have been defeated outside the south gate. If the south gate is left open, how can Cao Cao escape from this gate? There are still over ten thousand soldiers in Changyi City. Maybe Cao Cao will choose to escape from other places." Several breakthroughs are still unknown.¡±
"Zhao Yun's question seems to be on point. Why would he obediently leave from the south gate when he sees Cao Cao?" Instead of raiding from several other city gates? In this way, everyone looked at Xu You with questioning eyes.
"Cao Mengde is suspicious by nature. If ordinary people have suffered losses somewhere, they will definitely feel scared, but Cao Mengde is not like that." Xu You raised the corners of his mouth. He likes to be the center of attention, so that he can show off his high IQ: "He will definitely I have doubts about this, thinking that we are just raising suspicions to force him to choose another direction."
"The strategy used by Wen He today also took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious temper. Otherwise, how could Cao Mengde send troops?"
Xu You talked eloquently, as if he was saying that he was not old yet, and he was still the Xu Ziyuan who could offer advice to his lord and compete for the world. Zhen Yao also gave him a satisfied smile: "Yes, the strategy of attacking the heart is the best. This time, Ziyuan will be responsible for arranging troops and horses. As long as a certain family sees something, they can capture Changyi!"
"Promise!" Xu You bowed and accepted the order, with a rather proud look on his brows.
¡°Zhen Yao¡¯s several masterminds are all people with different personalities. Guo Jia is dissolute, Jia Xu hides himself, Fa Zheng is stingy, and Xu You is aloof.
But it is undeniable that these characters with distinctive personalities are an important condition for Zhen Yao to take the lead in every battle and ensure victory. Without them, Zhen Yao might still be living a small life in Wuji.
