Chapter 1067: Feint
Qian Hongben was in the head, so Liu Jing came to such a sentence, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Brother Wen Gong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Jing smiled, handed the letter back to him, and said, "You will read it later." ”
Xian Hong picked up half of the letter and read it carefully, and then he understood what Liu Jing's high heart meant because he was too early, and he dared to love Cao Liang to let them attack Jingcheng Pass, not really to attack Jizhou, but to attack the east and west, and cooperate with the main force in Guangchang's action, that is, let them launch a feint attack at Jingcheng Pass, so as to attract the attention of the Jizhou army.
Zhan Hong's expression suddenly withered, if it was really a feint, it would be too far from what Zhan Hong wanted to see the result, he and Lu Zhao had fought for a few years in the reed pass, and the two sides had a lot of grievances, and Zhan Hong originally wanted to take advantage of the general trend to send troops to Jingcheng Pass and teach Lu Zhao a hard lesson, in order to avenge the blood feud over the years.
However, Cao Liang's order accurately required them to blwart and launch a feint attack on Jingcheng Pass, which was essentially different from the actual attack.
Xianhong was a little frustrated, he was indeed too early, he only read the first half of the letter, and he couldn't suppress his excitement, but he didn't expect Cao Liang to make other arrangements later, which disappointed Lianhong's expectations.
But Lian Hong was relieved again in a blink of an eye, what's wrong with the feint, the feint also needs to be attacked, even if it's a real drama or a fake one, it has to be done realistically, it's better than nesting in Weize Pass, watching the opponent on the opposite side can't move strong, it's always like this, can't take revenge and blood hatred, it's too embarrassing, since Cao Liang ordered them to attack Jingcheng Pass, regardless of whether it's a real fight or a feint, it has to be a real fight with a real knife or a real gun, at least let Lu Zhaoxin think it's true.
Thinking about having the opportunity to fight with Lu Zhao again, Zhan Hong is blood is boiling, no matter if this is an opportunity, at least he has to teach him a good lesson, feng shui takes turns, and the master is going to take revenge this time!
Cao Liang asked them to march immediately in the letter without delay, and this sentence was simply superfluous to lead to Honglai, and he even hated it so much that he sent troops overnight and killed Jingcheng Pass in one go. Liu Jing was calmer, persuaded Xianhong not to be anxious, and let Xianhong fully prepare for the expedition, and he immediately set off to return to Leping, gathered troops and horses, and agreed to meet the two armies on the fifth watch tomorrow, and then march to Jingcheng Pass.
In addition to letting them feint to attack Jingcheng Pass, Cao Liang also asked them to bluff, erect more flags and camp tents, disguise themselves as the main force of the Bingzhou army, and pick up Cao Liang's handsome banner, so that Lu Zhaoxin thought that Cao Liang had come to Jingcheng Pass in person, so as to achieve the maximum effect of the feint.
In fact, the distance between Weize Pass and Jingcheng Pass is not too far, which is equal to one at the east end of the Kongdao and one at the west end of the Kongdao, only a few dozen miles away, separated by several mountains, looking at each other from afar.
Jing Cheng is the famous Taihang Eight Cheng of the fifth, but also Jinyang East to Jizhou nearest road, so the importance of Jing Cheng is self-evident, as the throat between Jin and Hebei, Jing Cheng's gain and loss relationship is extremely important, Lu Zhao attacked and merged with the state several times, and hit the Wei Ze Pass, when retreating, do not forget to stick to the Jing Cheng Pass.
Compared with the Weize Pass, although the terrain of the Jingcheng Pass in the east is also extremely dangerous, but in terms of steepness, it is much inferior, but as the gateway to protect Jizhou, the Jingcheng Pass cannot be lost, so after Lu Zhao retreated to Jizhou, he has been arranging soldiers and horses in the Jingcheng Pass, strictly guarding against it, that is, lest the state army will launch a surprise attack on the Jingcheng Pass.
If he really let Zhan Hong attack Jingcheng Pass, then he would definitely use the means of sneak attack, surprise and attack him, even if he can't take Jingcheng Pass in one fell swoop, he will be caught off guard.
But now, Cao Liang asked Lian Hong and Liu Jing to launch a feint attack, and they had to disguise themselves as the main force, so the sneak attack would definitely not succeed.
In the early morning of the next day, after the two armies of Liu Jing and Lianhong met, in addition to staying behind a part of the army, most of the men and horses of the left guard battalion and the right guard battalion poured out, and rushed to the Jingcheng Pass in a mighty way.
The guards of Jingcheng Pass got the news, climbed the tower to see, and suddenly there was a feeling of being scared to talk about pee, and led the troops to the city to challenge, the guards of the Sima army were already frightened, and they had the courage to fight, and ordered the defenders to close the city, and all the troops boarded the city to strictly defend it. At the same time, a fast horse was dispatched to immediately report the situation to Lu Zhao in Jizhou.
In order to increase his fear, he also sent catapults and crossbow carts to bombard Jingcheng Pass, a round of stone rain and arrow rain, so that the defenders were embarrassed and embarrassed.
The guard suddenly panicked, looking at the posture of the Bingzhou army, it was clear that he was going to launch a comprehensive attack on Jingcheng Pass, and he was in the camp of the Bingzhou army, and he saw Cao Liang's handsome banner, and he dared to be the lord of Bingzhou to come to Jingcheng in person, is this still necessary?
So the guard general sent three urgent documents to Lu Zhao one day, and his panic was overflowing.
After Lu Zhao received the report, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, after Sima Yi's army was defeated and merged with the state, Lu Zhao quickly withdrew the army, the reason why he withdrew the army so quickly was that he was worried about being retaliated by the counterattack of the state army, and even Sima Yi could not defeat the state army, Lu Zhao didn't think he had any capital to compete with others.
Previously, Lu Zhao was ordered to attack Bingzhou and attack Weize Pass, completely from the flank to contain Cao Liang, if he was allowed to fight head-on with the main force of the Bingzhou army, he really didn't have the guts.
Even after the withdrawal of the army, Lu Zhao was also nervous, for fear that the Bingzhou army would send troops to attack Jizhou, so as soon as the army withdrew, he sent heavy troops to garrison Jingcheng Pass, and waited for it, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
At this moment, as soon as he received the urgent documents from Jing Cheng, Lu Zhao was already sweating like pulp, you must know that this is a big winter, and he actually sweated so much, it can be seen that Lu Zhao is nervous, plus the urgent documents one after another, seeing that the situation in Jing Cheng has taken a sharp turn for the worse, plus hearing the news that Cao Liang has appeared in Jing Cheng Pass, Lu Zhao really panicked, hurriedly mobilized the main force of Jizhou, assembled overnight, and rushed to Jing Cheng Pass, saving soldiers like fighting fire, he really couldn't afford to delay.
