444 Wolong ascends to heaven
Continued to have conflicts with three heavyweights in the army, which made Chang Yuchun very angry, as a dignified general of Pingdong and the chief general of the three armies, is no one on his side?
"What is Kong Ming's clever plan, it's okay to say it directly?"
Chang Yuchun obviously felt isolated, so his attitude towards Zhuge Liang was much kinder, and he changed his previous arrogance and no one in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang smiled, hugged the feather fan and arched his hand: "I don't dare to be a clever plan, but there is a sentence that Liang has to say, please forgive the general!" Liang Shicai immediately observed the celestial phenomena and speculated that there would be heavy fog on both sides of the Yangtze River within three days. Lu Jie transported grain from Jingnan and did not take strict precautions, but let our army scouts spy so clearly, it was clear that he was using grain as bait to deliberately lure our army into an ambush. Therefore, Liang thought that it was absolutely impossible to rob grain! ”
I originally wanted to win over Zhuge Liang, but I didn't expect this young man to sing the opposite tune with himself, which made Chang Yuchun burst like thunder, and the pleasant face just now suddenly judged the two of them: "The red sun is scorching, the sky is clear, how can this fog start?" This general went south to the north, Kerunan, pulled out Shouchun, captured Ji Ling, broke the yellow scarf, defeated Wenpin, went through dozens of battles, large and small, and there were thousands of souls who died under my knife, do you still need you, a yellow-mouthed child, to point fingers at the side? ”
Chang Yuchun became more and more angry the more he spoke, and shouted left and right: "Come on, drive this milky yellow-mouthed child out of the handsome tent for me, if it weren't for the face of the respected teacher Wang Jingluo, today's twenty military sticks must be indispensable!" ”
Zhuge Liang, who retired at the age of fourteen, often met Xu Rong in the spring; "Ben will order you to lead 10,000 horses to hurry day and night, and you must take Lu Jie by surprise before he transports the grain into Jiangxia, and strive to burn or take the grain. General Xu is a battle-hardened general. If it was really foggy, Chang believed that General Xu would definitely make the right choice. After all, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent, and I believe that this question should not be difficult for General Xu. ”
Stealing food is one of the most common tactics used by soldiers. It is also the most effective move, so the famous generals of all dynasties are never tired of using it. Even if you know that the other party may set up an ambush, you have to try your best to burn the other party's grain and grass, and you can trick each other into calculating, who can laugh to the end with superior skills, who is the real soldier like a god!
In Xu Rong's heart, he actually supports the robbery of grain, the scouts have already spied on accurate information, and the amount is still very huge, how can he give up robbing the grain because the enemy may set up an ambush? Able to find a way to extract teeth. is the true character of the general. What's more, Chang Yuchun named himself to rob the grain, and Xu Rong had no choice.
"General Chang, please rest assured, the heavy responsibility of robbing grain falls on Xu Rong, even if there is an ambush, what is there to fear? Everyone, just wait for the good news! ”
Xu Rong took over the transfer of troops, said goodbye to Chang Yuchun, Xu Shu, Cheng Yanjin and others, and led the 10,000 horses of the headquarters to go straight to the direction of Jingshan County. Chang Yuchun continued to lead 60,000 horses to march towards Jiangxia.
After parting ways with the main army, the road was much smoother and wider, and the red sun was scorching. The sun is shining. Xu Rong did not take Zhuge Liang's prediction of the fog in three days to heart, and sent scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Lu Jiejun's army, while urging the troops to advance. Under Xu Rong's supervision, this group marched at a speed of 100 miles a day.
The evening of the second day. Scouts come to report; "General Qiyu, our army is still fifty or sixty miles away from Lu Jie's escort of the grain team, please make a decision."
Xu Rong frowned and thought: "If Liu Biaojun uses grain as bait to lure our army into an ambush. There will certainly be a heavy ambush at night. But I did the opposite, and did not rob food at night. Wait until tomorrow after dawn to kill him by surprise! ”
"The messenger will order, set up camp on the spot. Haosheng rested all night, marched at full speed at dawn, and had a head-to-hand fight with Lu Jiejun, taking all of Liu Biao's grain carts or burning them. After making up his mind, Xu Rong ordered loudly.
In the middle of the night, fog suddenly fell from the sky, and the mountains and forests were white.
Xu Rong was rewarded in his deep sleep, hurriedly got up, and strode out of the handsome tent. Raising his eyes to look at the sky, I saw that the white mist was filled, like a cloud steaming and a fairyland, it was really a fog!
"Tsk...... It seems that this Kong Ming does have some ability, such a fog is rare to see in ten years! Xu Rong stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, admiring Zhuge Liang's ability to observe celestial phenomena.
"However, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, how can I be stumped by such a question in my twenty years of Xu Rongrong's horse career? It's a big deal that this grain won't be robbed, but I, Xu Rong, will never be ambushed lightly! ”
Xu Rong decided to respond to all changes with the same thing, if the fog did not disperse, he would not move, and at the same time send scouts and patrols to closely monitor the surrounding post roads, but whenever there was any trouble, he would blow the horn to warn.
The fog was thick and the visibility was only a few feet or so.
At dawn, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led more than 10,000 elite soldiers, under the leadership of the local natives, along the mountain trail, stumbling all the way to Xu Rong's camp. Under the cover of the fog, the antlers were removed, and they slashed and slashed with lightning speed.
The Han army has been running for days, and it has long been physically and mentally exhausted, and dawn is the most sleepy time for human beings, until Liu Biaojun entered the camp, and the sleeping Han army woke up from the dream. One by one, they rushed to the battle, but due to the hot weather, many soldiers took off their armor, and even faced Liu Biaojun's swords and guns with flesh and blood, and for a time the flesh and blood flew sideways, and countless casualties were inflicted.
Xu Rong woke up from his sleep, hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and fought to the death under the escort of his own soldiers. However, due to the surprise attack, the army's heart was already panicked, and I don't know how many men and horses the other party came, no matter how hard Xu Rong tried his best, it would be difficult to recover the defeat.
Under the leadership of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Liu Biaojun wantonly slashed and killed, and the Han army lost nearly half, and the corpses were piled up in the walled fence, and the blood flowed like a river.
Liu Biaojun, whose morale was high, formed a coalition under the leadership of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and shouted in unison: "Capture Xu Rong alive, and those who get the first rank will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and they will be promoted to general!" ”
In the midst of the chaos, someone found Xu Rong's traces, and suddenly surrounded him like a tide, swords and guns were raised, bows and arrows were thunderous, and the Han army that was killed retreated step by step, "Hugh is going to leave Xu Rong, everyone will grab people's heads together!" ”
Xu Rong wielded a spear and struggled to overturn more than a dozen soldiers, but in the face of the swarming enemy army, he knew that the general trend was gone, so he drew his sword in his hand and decided to be loyal to the country.
At the last moment, Liu Biaojun suddenly screamed behind him, and he was agitated.
In the midst of the chaos, the crisp wind chimes fluttered in the thick fog, and Liu Biaojun, who was a general with a horse and a halberd, was in chaos, and he was invincible everywhere he went, and he opened a bloody road and went straight to where Xu Rong was.
"General Xu panicked, Gan Ning was ordered to come to help!"
Xu Rong was overjoyed when he was desperate, so he gathered the remnants and Gan Ning to attack inside and outside, and after a while, he turned defeat into victory, and the Liu Biaojun who killed couldn't resist and retreated.
The fog is thick, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
The two sides fought a scuffle, and each of them withdrew their troops.
After the war, Xu Rong's 10,000 people lost nearly 6,000, which can be described as a heavy loss. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun won first and then lost, under the internal and external attacks of Gan Ning and Xu Rong, they also lost five or six thousand people, and they were able to withdraw from the battlefield by covering their whereabouts through the fog, otherwise the whole army would be annihilated.
After collecting the troops, Xu Ronglai thanked Gan Ning: "Thank you General Xingba for the rescue, if you hadn't suddenly led the troops to appear, Xu Rong was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out today." My life is not a pity, but it has harmed the lives of the soldiers of the three armies in vain, and the great kindness of Brother Xingba, Xu Rongding should repay him! ”
Gan Ning laughed and returned the salute: "General Xu wants to thank Zhuge Kongming, the night before yesterday, Kong Ming rode alone to the Yangtze River to ask to see Han Dudu." Ask Han Liangchen to divide his troops to land, one to rescue you, and the other to attack Lu Jie's team to escort food. I think the people led by Zhu Huan have already started at this moment, right? I'm going to help! ”
"I, Xu Rongrong, have been riding horses for many years, and I am ashamed that I am not as good as a teenager!"
Xu Rong shook his head again and again, extremely ashamed, and led the remnants of his headquarters to join forces with Gan Ning, and marched fifty miles to the southeast. went to cooperate with Zhu Huan to burn the grain and grass escorted by Lu Jie.
At noon, the fog cleared. To the southeast, the flames were blazing and smoke was billowing out.
Scout Pegasus reported: "General Qi Xingba, General Zhu Huan succeeded in a sneak attack, beheaded Lu Jie, and a fire has been set to burn the grain purchased by Liu Biaojun from Jingnan!" ”
Just when Han Shizhong used Zhuge Liang's plan to burn Liu Biao's grain, Yue Fei, who had received three letters of impeachment to Chang Yuchun in a row, could no longer sit still. After weighing it, he issued an order, ordering Chang Yuchun to resign from his position as the chief general and go to Wuguan to replace Tai Shi Ci as the chief general, and ordered Tai Shi Ci to hurry to Jiangxia to sit in the town and command the campaign against Jiangxia.
