Chapter 560: Guanzhong Strategy (12)
Zhang Xiu was ordered by Liu Bei to travel day and night all the way, and after arriving at Qixu, he lurked. Before he went out to Wuguan with his uncle to Jingzhou, he had been moving on the cool ground. For the terrain and environment here, you can basically talk about it with your eyes closed. After arriving at Qixu, he sent out his sentry horse, controlled the people and officials along the way, and then quietly marched towards Huangbai City.
Huangbai City is the closest small city to Wuling Plain. Everyone's eyes were on Xinfeng, and no one would have thought that the enemy would come from the north, so the defenders of Huangbaicheng suddenly saw Zhang Xiujun, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and chose to surrender very wisely. Thanks to Zhang Xiu's former identity, Huang Baicheng's captain vomited everything he knew. Zhang Xiu is also from the Liangzhou Army, so in the eyes of Captain Huang Baicheng, he is still quite kind. If it is changed to other Qingzhou futures, I am afraid that there will be no such good things.
Grain and grass from Chiyang, a steady stream of transport, through Jingshui to Yangling, and then transition to Xinfeng. Now the general who protects the grain is the general Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu is also a general of Liangzhou, and Zhang Xiu is no stranger to him. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu decided to set up an ambush at the ferry first, and then wait for the opportunity to seize Yangling and block the grain road. As a result, Li Dao's army had no food to use, and he was afraid that it would collapse immediately.
Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing and others will attack Liu Bei with Li Dao, and Yang Qiu is left behind to guard the old nest and be responsible for escorting grain and grass. This was carefully considered by Li Wei. Because Cheng, Hou, and Li Sanjiang have always been close. And Zhang, Liang, Ma, and Cheng are each other's four generals. These two small gangs, which one stays in Chiyang Li Dao will not be at ease. Thinking about it, only the lone Yang Qiu deeply agrees with him. And Yang Qiu was also unanimously recognized by the rest of the generals.
Yang Qiu was even more happy. There is merit in supervising grain, and there is no need to go to the front line to work hard. It couldn't be better. So he gladly accepted the order. On this day, he escorted the grain and grass again and set off from Chiyang. Before he was solemnly instructed by Li Dao, he was very serious. As a result, after several trips, there is no risk at all. And he let himself go. Also, the distance is short, and all the roads are actually controlled by their own side. Most of the enemy forces could not enter, and it was useless to infiltrate small forces. In that case, what do you have to worry about? So Yang Qiu, who was still riding a horse and carrying a gun before, shouting in front and back, is now gone to his armor, stripped off only a thin shirt, and lazily lies on the grain cart and begins to enjoy happiness. You must know that the sun at this time is the most vicious, and if you wear armor, your whole body will only be roasted like fire, and it will be okay to really go into battle and fight. Sending grain and grass without risk, Yang Qiu really didn't want to suffer this hardship.
The journey went smoothly to the ferry. Yang Qiu immediately perked up and immediately ordered the grain team to stop moving forward and rest first. The grain guards who were languished by the sun suddenly came to their senses and commanded the people to start taking action. Yang Qiu didn't go to the department, and walked straight to the tea shop at the ferry, where there are more than a dozen hugging trees, the canopy is shady, the breeze is lightly rushing, and then drinking a bowl of herbal tea, the most is to cool off.
Yang Qiu found a good place to sit down, and then shouted, "Serve tea!" After a while, a guy ran over and added a bowl of tea to Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu raised the bowl and drank it clean in a few sips, screamed happily, and then ordered the guy to fill it up. After drinking another bowl, Yang Qiu was finally comfortable. Turning his gaze to the guy's face, he said, "I didn't see you last time." ”
That guy was the captain under Zhang Xiu's command. This tea shop was controlled by Zhang Xiu's troops early on. Now all the people around here are Han soldiers. After listening to Yang Qiu's words, the guy nodded his head, and his pure Guanzhong accent made Yang Qiu suspicious: "If the master's family has something, he will find me to replace him for the previous day." ”
Yang Qiu always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it. So I asked about a few nearby places and customs. This lieutenant was originally from the neighborhood, but how could he hide it. Seeing Yang Qiu asking, it was like a fluent answer.
When Yang Qiu heard this, he no longer had any doubts. I added another bowl of tea, drank it slowly, slapped the table, and said, "Check out!" ”
The guy walked over, and when Yang Qiu's hand touched his arms, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed straight at the guy. The guy was caught off guard and couldn't avoid it, but he was slashed in the shoulder by Yang Qiu's sword. Yang Qiu won his sword and shouted, "Enemy attack!" Formation! Yang Qiu finally reacted when he drank the last bowl of tea. In the past, when I passed here, the cicadas sang and chirped in the woods, which was so lively. Today, however, there is a cold silence in the woods, except for the cold wind. Plus the guy suddenly changed people again. Yang Qiu's heart trembled, and he immediately thought of a possibility. So he had a sudden attack, and he planned to strike first.
After succeeding, Yang Qiu did not advance but retreated. But he retreated in time in the direction of his own troops. At critical moments, it is safer to be with your own troops. Some of the sergeants were resting on the spot, some were drinking tea. Suddenly, when he heard that his general suddenly slashed the tea shop guy with his sword, and then shouted that the enemy was attacking, he couldn't help but be a little unable to react. Some people even squirted out the tea that they had in their mouths and didn't have time to swallow. However, after receiving the order, they overturned the tables and chairs one after another, and rushed out with their own generals.
Just as Yang Qiu rushed out of the tea shop, Zhang Xiumian in the woods sank like water, slapped the trunk fiercely, and said, "Action!" An arrow shot up into the sky, the drum sounded, and the Han troops around rushed out one after another, surrounding Yang Qiu's subordinates. Zhang Xiu originally wanted to catch Yang Qiu off guard when he was about to cross. Try to fight as quickly as possible before attacking Yangling. Who would have thought that all of a sudden, Yang Qiu would react. In this way, the sound of fighting here will inevitably be known to the Yangling defenders. When the time comes, if you want to take Yangling, you can only attack hard.
After surrounding Yang Qiu, Zhang Xiu walked out. Yang Qiu's eyes froze, and he said, "It turned out to be you?" "No wonder I was fooled, it turned out that Zhang Xiu was here.
Zhang Xiu said: "General Yang, it's been a long time. My army has arrived, and General Yang still hasn't surrendered? ”
Yang Qiu immediately thought clearly, Zhang Xiu, what was this for. Zhang Xiu came to attack the grain route of his army. Li Dao is fighting with Liu Bei, but Zhang Xiu is here, doesn't this mean that the number of Liu Bei on the frontal battlefield is very small. If you can hold Zhang Xiu back here, then wait for the Yangling defenders to come together with the senior cadres of Gaoling next to you. Hehe, Zhang Xiu is about to steal chickens and rice. And Liu Bei's troops, without Zhang Xiu, can withstand Li Zhiran's tens of thousands of troops?
After Yang Qiu figured it out, he was also single. So he pointed his sword at Zhang Xiu and scolded: "You are from Liangzhou, and now you are a thief in Liangzhou." I shall now take your head! ”
After finishing speaking, he ordered the generals to use the grain cart as a formation to resist Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu listened to Yang Qiu's words, he said: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, since General Yang is unwilling to be Junjie, I have no choice but to send General Yang to die." General Yang, offended! After speaking, Zhang Xiu waved his hand, and countless crossbowmen arrayed in front of him, and several drums sounded, and one arrow after another pierced the sky and pierced into the body of the sergeant under Yang Qiu's command.
Suddenly the screams rang out.
