Chapter 384: The Great War of Yuan and Liu (14)
Cao Cao saw the enemy's marching route, and made a rough calculation in his heart, so he summoned the generals and said: "Since the enemy has taken the hill, I want to set up an ambush in front of the enemy." What do you think? ”
Cao Hong and a few others, who have always obeyed Cao Cao's orders, Dian Wei is still recuperating and has never accompanied the army, but he came in vain, he and Xu Yu are not strategic, but they are only responsible for the guards. Xiahou Yuan looked at the map and said: "Lord, if the enemy goes to the hill, he will pass through the pavilion pottery and shell hill, why not set up an ambush here to wait for the enemy army?" ”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and didn't make a sound, and Le Jin next to him said: "Lord, the last general thinks that it is better to send an envoy to summon the guard of the boundary bridge to attack the Qingzhou army in Ganling." After Ling County or Juan County, and then ambush the army to attack it, so that the enemy army can be broken. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said, "What Wen Qian said is exactly what I want. ”
If the enemy army wants to return to Qingzhou, Guantao, Qingyuan, and Ganling counties are all necessary routes. The last path into Qingzhou can be Ling County or Juan County. Guantao and Qingyuan two counties, because of the alluvium of the Yellow River, the terrain is flat, there is no danger to follow, it is not suitable to set up an ambush, it is not as good as Ganling.
Guantao and Qingyuan counties are both in Wei County, if they go out of Wei County to Qinghe Country, a few points closer to Qingzhou, and Zhang Fei and other generals will be a little lax. When the time comes, set up an ambush in Ganling and fight with it, and you will be able to catch the enemy by surprise. If you can take advantage of the chaos to capture the Son of Heaven Luan, then you will quickly return to Yanzhou. Anyway, Ganling is close to his hometown, and there is a small city shell mound in Ganling, which is built on a high hill, which is suitable for Tibetan soldiers. If you fail to compete, you will be defeated and retreat. At that time, in Ling County or Juan County, when Zhang Fei stepped out of Qingzhou with one foot, he would attack it with his troops.
Can Zhang Fei and the others think of ambushes all the way, and can they also think of a second ambush? Can you still think that you will set up an ambush in front of your home in Qingzhou?
Zhang Fei and the others marched all the way, but Jia Xu was invited on the way. Before he left from Qingzhou, Liu Bei had instructed him that if he had any problems on the road, he could ask Jia Xu for advice. Zhang Fei has also heard a lot about Jia Xu's reputation and deeds. In addition, he also likes to deal with scholars, so he is very respectful to Jia Xu. After Jia Xu rode up on horseback, Zhang Fei said: "Jia Gong, I have a matter of doubt, Jia Gong is a well-known wise man in the sea, and I ask Jia Gong to solve it for me." ”
Since Jia Xu met Zhang Fei, he saw that although he was majestic, he was quite good at talking, not like those vulgar martial artists in Liangzhou, and he was very courteous to himself, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, he had already heard the name of the generals in Qingzhou, and this time he saw Zhang Yide, and it was indeed worthy of his name, and the rest of the generals could be listed with him, and he must also be a hero in the world. I don't feel a little yearning for Qingzhou in my heart. Seeing Zhang Fei's question, he smiled and said: "The general has a good reputation, I don't know what the general wants to ask, I know everything, and I can't say anything." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he told Jia Xu in detail about the things that he had traveled all the way to Wei Junzhen but had been silent, and then said: "This matter is strange, and I am very uneasy in my heart. I don't know what Jia Gong can teach me? ”
Although Jia Xu didn't know the rights and wrongs of the grievances between Liyi and Yuan Shao, what kind of person was he, his mind turned a few times, and he guessed the matter seven or eight points, so he smiled and said: "The general is worried, I expect that Yuan Shao should go north, the troops in the state are insufficient, and Wei County stayed behind to see that the general is powerful, and I am afraid that Ye City will be lost, so I dare not come to provoke the general." ”
Zhang Fei thought about it and felt that if he was a defender of Yecheng, he would not dare to go out of the city to provoke such a huge army when the troops were insufficient. It's just that it's just a closed door, and I haven't even seen a scout, so it's too daring, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, a scout suddenly came to report: "General, there is an army in the rear army, which is twenty miles away, and its banner should be Jizhou soldiers." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he turned his horse's head and said to Jia Xu: "I want to go to Guanzhi, can Jia Xu be interested?" Jia Xu happily went along.
When they arrived at the rear army, Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan greeted them and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, the enemy army is the headquarters of Wei County, I led the troops to, and they retreated, and I returned to the camp, and they came again." Honest and hateful. ”
Zhang Fei was stunned, Lu Yi, isn't this the general of Jizhou, how can he stay in Wei County. So he said, "Wait for me." Then he led the army to Yingji Righteous Army.
Koji Yi is here to act, and he was thinking about whether to have a fake fight with the Qingzhou Army, but when he saw that there were too many people, he thought that he should stop fighting and send them out of the country with peace of mind. That's all he has, it's the foundation of his life in Jizhou, so don't waste it here. So as soon as Zhang Xiu came out, he stepped back, and as soon as Zhang Xiu went back, he moved forward a little more. Zhang Xiu was so angry that he was frightened. It was important to protect the Son of Heaven, and there was no order from Zhang Fei, so Zhang Xiu was not good at pursuing without authorization, so he had to send someone to report to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei came, led the troops to rush forward, and sure enough, he saw the enemy army with the koji banner scattering his legs and ran. Zhang Fei is also confused, the prestige of Kojiyi, Zhang Fei has heard of it in Qingzhou, this person is an old qualified general, although the personal force value is not very high, but he has been on the border for a long time, proficient in the art of battle formation, last time he led the first camp to break the horse, and broke the white horse of Gongsun Zhan. Such a master of using soldiers, but Yuan Shao left him in the rear when the war was in full swing?
It's just a matter of staying in the rear, how can you behave so timidly, is it a deception? Zhang Fei led the troops to rush forward again, and when he saw that Liyi was retreating again, he thought about it, so he wrote a letter and asked people to send it to the Liyi army.
Lu Yi took the letter, opened it and looked at it, Zhang Fei said in the letter: "I have heard the general's name for a long time, and now I have been ordered to pass through Wei County, and I have not visited the general, which is very rude." I don't know if the general came at the end of the rank, is he wanting to fight, wanting to be peaceful? ”
Koji Yi replied with a letter: "The soldiers are reluctant to fight. ”
Zhang Fei looked at a few big characters on the silver hook painted by Liyi, and smiled at Jia Xu: "Jia Gong, Liyi is really interesting, he doesn't say that he doesn't dare to fight, but he says he doesn't want to fight, and I don't know if he is arrogant, or is he good at making big words?" ”
Jia Xu read Liyi's letter, his heart moved, and he said to Zhang Fei: "General, you can reply to a letter, and ask Liyi to come out and see you." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he looked at Jia Xu suspiciously, Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said so. Zhang Fei listened, so he did as he said.
When Lu Yi saw Zhang Fei writing another letter, he couldn't help laughing, this Zhang Yide was addicted to writing letters. When he opened it, it was Zhang Fei who asked him to go out of the camp to meet, and Lu Yi was about to throw it aside and ignore it, but he thought again, I have been on the battlefield for nearly 20 years, and I am afraid that a junior will not succeed. Zhang Fei is the general of Qingzhou, and he will not do that dark thing in the future, in this case, what am I afraid of.
So Lu Yi took his pro-army and went straight to the place Zhang Fei said. When he arrived at the place, he saw that Zhang Fei was standing on a high hill with another person, so he ordered to wait here left and right, and he rode his horse and whipped to see Zhang Fei.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Ko Yi said, "General Zhang, why did you come here?" ”
Zhang Fei smiled when he heard this, and Jia Xu next to him said: "General Koji, my Qingzhou has always respected the prestige of generals. Now that the general is in a predicament, he has come to offer advice. ”
Lu Yi was shocked in his heart, and said: "Who are you, Hugh has to show off his tongue, I am the general of Jizhou, the lord is trustworthy, and the heart of a soldier is good, why is there any difficulty?" ”
Zhang Fei said: "This is Dr. Guanglu and Liangzhou Jia Gong in person. ”
Lu Yi remembered someone and exclaimed: "Jia Wenhe? ”
Jia Xu laughed and said, "No, it's exact." ”
Koji Yi's face was uncertain, and he suddenly said: "General Zhang, Doctor Jia, you and I have seen it, so you and the others will march quickly and withdraw from Wei County." ”
After saying that, he wanted to turn his horse away.
