Chapter 716 Huainan Generals
Zhao Yun can be said to respect Zhuge Liang like a god, and he is naturally 100% convinced of his strategy to stay. Zhao Yun firmly believed that Wang Ling would be coaxed by the false and real plan, and did not dare to send troops to attack.
In fact, Zhuge Liang's strategy left behind was also prepared with two hands.
The plan of the virtual and the real is the theory that the camp is hidden in the tent, which is to scare Wang Ling, and the real one is the defense of the camp, which is really effective and is used to prevent the attack of the Wei army.
If Wang Ling was frightened and didn't dare to come over, then everyone would naturally be happy. But if Wang Ling comes to attack, the Han army does not have to be afraid, because the camp has made a defense, and the front has been delayed for two days, even if Wang Ling leads the whole army to attack, Zhao Yun can hold on until Zhuge Liang returns.
However, Zhao Yun's worries were obviously superfluous, Wang Ling had already decided that this was Zhuge Liang's plan to lure the enemy, and he had no intention of going out of the city to attack at all.
On the other side, Zhuge Liang led 30,000 soldiers and horses to ambush all the way day and night, covering people's eyes and ears, and it took two days to arrive at the ambush site.
Except for Zhao Yun and Huo Jun's father and son, the rest of the generals all went out with them.
Near dawn, Zhuge Liang led his troops to the ambush site, gathered the generals, and said to the generals: "According to the distance, it will take five or six days for the Wei army reinforcements to arrive. Generals can lead their troops to hide in the mountains and forests, and send scouts to pretend to be Orions to find out the news. ”
"No!" The generals will take the command.
Chen Zhi was a little worried, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Da Sima, we brought 30,000 soldiers and horses out, and there are only 10,000 people in the camp, what if Wang Ling takes advantage of the weakness to attack?" ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, Ben Jiang has already left a strategy, as long as Zilong follows the plan, the camp will not be in danger." ”
"That's good!" Chen Zhi nodded and commanded the soldiers and horses to hide.
Time came five days later.
At the junction of the Huai River and Huangshui, there is a troop of soldiers and horses marching at this moment.
The number of soldiers and horses is about 30,000, the soldiers are shiny with swords and guns, and their clothes and armor are distinct, which is the elite Huainan soldiers and horses of the Wei State.
In the center of the procession, the two men rode side by side.
The one on the left, about forty-five or sixteen years old, is slender and thin.
The person on the right, about thirty-four or five years old, looks like a tiger with a bear's waist, and looks quite brave.
While the soldiers and horses were marching, a scout Pegasus came to report: "Qi Qi two generals, not far ahead is the confluence of the Huang River and the Huai River." The roads are steep, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. ”
Hearing this, the person on the left nodded and said, "Got it, the herald ordered the soldiers and horses to march along the Huang River." The mountains and forests ahead are good to explore, and the front army is careful not to be ambushed. ”
"No!"
When the scout heard this, he hurriedly went to the front to report the news.
A person on the right said to the man on the left: "Brother Gongxiu, the turn ahead is the Huang River, and you can reach Xiyang after a day of rapid marching along the Huang River, how about it?" How do you feel when you see each other? ”
Public holiday is the word of Zhuge Day.
The man in his forties on the left is Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Dan is Zhuge Liang's brother, and later generations often say that the Zhuge family is a family, making investments, three brothers, Wei Shu and Wu each went to one.
In fact, this is not called investment, as the saying goes, the three Zhuge brothers are all talented people, but they choose the lord in their minds as ministers.
However, Zhuge Dan is not Zhuge Liang's brother, but a cousin, and Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge in history is Shishu Han.
Zhuge Jinshi Dongwu, Zhuge Liangshi Shu Han, Zhuge Danshi Cao Wei, the three are also known as dragons, tigers, and dogs.
Zhuge Liang is a dragon, an official in Shu Han to the prime minister, Zhuge Jin is a tiger, an official general in Jiangdong, and a Taifu. Zhuge is a dog, from Cao Wei to the general of Zhengdong, he supervised the Huainan military.
However, Zhuge Dan's dog is not a scolding meaning, nor is it a derogatory term, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks, which means that people will kill heroes and generals after success. The dog here refers to the meritorious general, which is a compliment.
Zhuge Dan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Zhuge Liang and I are brothers, but we haven't seen each other for decades, and I don't remember what he looks like." How can I feel now that I am each my lord with him, and that I am an enemy? ”
The mighty man on the right smiled and said, "If this is the case, it would be the best, although you are the main general, but I am appointed to supervise the army, if I find out that you have two hearts, hum ......"
Zhuge Dan said coldly: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint General Wen, I am loyal to Great Wei!" ”
"Humph!" Wen Qin turned his head away and was silent.
Zhuge Dan and Wen Qin are both generals in the Huainan Army, Wen Qin is good at making war exploits and trying to falsely report the results of the war, while Zhuge Dan is an upright person, so the two have conflicts for a long time, and they are not harmonious in private.
Zhao Yan had the intention to send Zhuge Dan to lead the army to rescue Jiangxia, but considering his relationship with Zhuge Liang, he was a little relieved. Send Wenqin out alone, Wen Qin's ability is a little weak, in desperation, Zhao Yan had no choice but to send both of them out, let Zhuge Liang serve as the main general, Wen Qin as the supervisor, and told Wen Qin not to target Zhuge Dan, the two should get along well.
However, Wen Qin had a grudge against Zhuge Dan, and he didn't give Zhuge Dan face along the way, and often sneered.
Zhuge Dan is indeed loyal to the Wei State, and he is also very upright, and he has been holding back in consideration of the overall situation.
Yangzhou Huainan Army, the first generation of the governor Zhang Liao, followed by Cao Xiu, now Zhang Liao has already died of illness, Cao Xiu was defeated because of the Shiting War, and now it is Zhao Yan who serves as the assassin of Yangzhou, in charge of the military and politics of the Eastern Front.
Under Zhao Yan, there are generals such as Wang Ling, Zhuge Dan, and Wen Qin.
In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, there were continuous wars in the Huainan region, known as the Huainan Three Rebellions, which were caused by the seizure of power by the Sima family. The first rebellion was initiated by Wang Ling, the second by Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin, and the third by Zhuge Dan.
Now Biqiu Jian is a general in Youzhou in the north, and in this Jiangxia battle, three of the four protagonists of the three rebellions in Huainan appeared.
The two continued to lead their troops forward, and soon came to a precipitous place where the two rivers converged.
Looking at the mountains and forests and the winding road ahead, Zhuge Dan waved his hand to summon the scout and asked, "What is the situation ahead?" Can someone be sent to search in the forest? ”
The scout replied, "The road ahead is steep, with a cliff next to the Huang River on the left, and a cluster of mountains on the right. ”
Zhuge Dan asked, "How many steps into the mountain?" ”
"Dozens of steps!" The scout replied.
Zhuge Dan shook his head and said: "The Huaishui River is hilly along the way, and the bend of the river is the most precipitous, Zhuge Liang is not an easy person, it is very likely to send troops out to ambush our army, this is the best place to ambush, you must be good to investigate, how can you do it in dozens of steps?" Give me more men to search the mountains and make sure that there are no reinforcements to march before it is too late. ”
