Seven hundred and ninety-eight It's time to close the net
The winter in Jiaozhou is short-lived, and the spring rain begins after the ice and snow melt.
Liu Wei took Sun Bin, Yuwen Chengdu, Wen Yang, Shang Shifu, Ma Zhong and others to leave Cangwu with 30,000 troops, ran east to Duanxi County, and then went south "secretly" along the trail at the foot of Yunkai Mountain, and "prepared" to go around to the back of Huai'an Mengtian's army and attack Wu Qi and Zhuge Liang back and forth.
The spring rain that had just stopped for a while began to fall again, and it was dark an hour earlier than usual, Liu Wei, who was dressed in armor, looked up at the sky, and shouted: "The whole army will set up camp and march again tomorrow!" ”
The team found an open area, set up tents, fenced the fence, and settled down. The cooks bury the pot to cook, and the soldiers return to their accounts to rest after they have eaten and drunk enough, and the night patrol is in charge of the master and apprentice.
After dinner, Liu Wei looked at the map with Sun Bin and Wen Yang in the tent and discussed the next battle plan.
"We have already crossed Duanxi for sixty miles, but this Yunkai Mountain stretches for one hundred and fifty miles from north to south, and we need to march for another day and a half to completely get out of Yunkai Mountain. It is 400 miles away from Huai'an Mengtian's camp, and it is estimated that when you reach Rongxian and Yulin, you will encounter Zhou Yu's ambush. Liu Wei pointed to the map and analyzed it to Sun Bin and Wen Yang.
As Liu Bian's secret plan planned for many years, no more than six people knew the whole thing, Sun Bin and Sun Wu's two staff officers were the first to help Liu Bian analyze the feasibility of this plan, and the two brothers, Wen Yang and Yuwen Chengdu, as the chief of the guard beside Liu Bian, needed to pass the news back and forth, so they also knew the ins and outs of the whole plan.
In the end, after Sun Bin and Sun Wu, the two think tanks, agreed to Liu Bian's plan, Liu Bian wrote a secret letter himself. Inform Wu Qi and Zhuge Liang of the whole plan and let them get ready. cooperated with the implementation of his own plan and lured Meng Tian and Zhou Yu to go deeper. Strive to wipe out the Kushan Army.
In addition to these six people, the main generals of the other legions, including Huo Quzhi, Xu Huang, Mu Guiying, Su Lie and others, were all kept in the dark. There is only one reason, Liu Wei wants to make this scene realistic enough to deceive Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Zhou Yu and other bulls.
Wen Yang clasped his arms to his chest, and after listening to Liu Wei's analysis, he said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for daring to ask, are you so sure that Zhou Yu will definitely believe Xiao Qiao's letter?" ”
"Definitely!"
Liu Wei put down the map. He took a sip of the tea bowl and said with great ambition.
Just a few days ago, after Chen Rong sent Xiao Qiao's letter away, Liu Wei knew that it was time to fill in the hole he had dug for many years, and it was time to close the net with this plan that had been planned for many years.
In the middle of the month, Zhou Yu burned the granary of Mengling and burned 100,000 stone of grain for the Han army, which was the first sweet jujube that Liu Wei gave Zhou Yu to eat. Of course, half of this is true. Half of the sand was put into sacks and stuffed into granaries to fill the number to deceive and encourage the Kushan army.
The reason why Liu Wei did this was for two purposes. First, it made Zhou Yu even more convinced that Xiao Qiao was desperate to help him, of course, Xiao Qiao had indeed become a demon for love, and gave up for Zhou Yu. It's just being kept in the dark.
As for the second purpose, it is much simpler. Let Zhou Yu successfully burn the granary of Mengling, and inject a shot of strength into the Meng Tian and Guishan army who were mired in the quagmire of war. And enhance Zhou Yu's status and prestige, so that in the future, it will be better for Zhou Yu to jump into the pit he dug with the Guishan Army.
Sun Bin picked up the teapot and filled it for Liu Wei, and said with a smile: "This Zhou Yu is also an outstanding handsome talent, why do you attach so much importance to the relationship between men and women?" ”
Liu Wei felt that this question was not easy to answer, and it could not be said that because in normal history, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were a pair of lovers who loved each other, so after meeting again, they became inseparable. Eight or nine-year-old Xiao Qiao saw the personable Mei Zhou Lang, and fell in love at first sight, even though he hadn't seen him for five or six years, he was unswerving, so Zhou Yu would trust Xiao Qiao 100%.
But Liu Wei believes that some things are destined to be unchangeable, and some people will spark as long as they meet. Just like Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, just like Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, just like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, even if they can't follow the historical trajectory, as long as they meet one day, they will definitely become friends and lovers of life and death.
Of course, under Liu Wei's planning, there has been a dislike between Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, which is another matter, it is an external force that destroys their brotherhood.
"Huh...... This is a plan I have been planning for five or six years! ”
Liu Wei took a sip of the teacup and said leisurely: "Since five or six years ago, after hearing that Xiao Qiao had been secretly communicating with Zhou Yu, I sent Chen Rong to pretend to be a business traveler and build a bridge between Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu. The correspondence between the two is not overnight, but perennial, and it comes from Xiao Qiao's fist heart, his daughter is infatuated, ordinary people can't fake it, and Zhou Yu has used Xiao Qiao to obtain a lot of valuable information over the years, so Zhou Yu will be convinced! ”
"Your Majesty is really far-sighted, Sun Bin admires it!"
A person began to implement a secret plan five or six years ago, casting a long line to catch big fish, not to mention whether it can succeed, just this patience and foresight is enough to make people admire, so after listening to Liu Bi's plan, Sun Bin did not hesitate to approve of it, thinking that this plan is feasible.
Sun Bin didn't know how much Zhou Yu trusted Xiao Qiao, but since what the Son of Heaven said was so categorical, Sun Bin thought that he could give it a try. And even if Zhou Yu didn't have a plan, it was a good plan to sneak attack Meng Tian's rear by a detour, and attack Wu Qi and Zhuge Liang back and forth.
If it really succeeds, it will be a plan that can shine in history, which is enough to be recorded in textbooks, and it is not much better than the battle in which Bai Qi completely annihilated the 400,000 Zhao army. After all, Meng Tian and Wang Ben are both famous generals in Guishuang, and Zhou Yu is also battle-hardened, so it is many times more difficult to let them fall into the scheme than to defeat Zhao Kuo, who is talking on paper.
Thinking of this, Sun Bin couldn't help but sneak a glance at Liu Wei.
I saw that this son of heaven, who was over 20 years old, had a thicker and thicker beard, the imperial spirit on his face was getting stronger and stronger, he was domineering in his gestures, decisive in his words and deeds, both rigid and soft, governing the country with benevolence and righteousness towards the people, and having a tough attitude towards the outside world, fighting for every inch of land.
"Your Majesty rose in troubled times at the juncture of life and death, revitalized the dynasty, resisted foreign races outside, and leveled the princes inside. Opening the imperial examination, revitalizing agriculture, unifying coins, building Chi Dao, raising population, popularizing culture, advocating medicine, inventing widely, improving people's livelihood, and expanding territory, such performance has surpassed the vast majority of emperors! Even the two emperors of Gaozu, Han Wu and Wenjing are not as good, as long as Your Majesty reunifies the country and destroys the other princes, you can surpass Emperor Qin and Guangwu and become the first emperor of the ages! ”
Looking at the heroic and ambitious emperor, Sun Bin couldn't help but feel awe, and felt a burst of emotion and admiration in his heart. What makes Sun Bin even more admirable is that this emperor not only has a good way of internal affairs, but also can personally make suggestions, can also go into battle to kill the enemy, can also write poems, and is proficient in all aspects of cultural governance and martial arts.
"You can cross the horse and write poems. Lifting the pen can govern the country, and swinging it can be Anbang! Sun Bin couldn't help but exclaim, "The Han Dynasty has a holy monarch like Your Majesty, which is really a blessing for all the people!" ”
Liu Wei was groaning, and after listening to Sun Bin's words, he laughed dumbly: "Why did Sun Qing say this? I'm afraid I'm going to kill me! ”
Sun Bin smiled and poured a full bowl of tea for the Son of Heaven again: "Weichen has been following His Majesty for more than two years, and seeing that His Majesty is becoming more and more stable and majestic, he feels a feeling in his heart. ”
"It's not early, Sun Qing and Jianye will go back to their accounts and rest!" Liu Wei had a hint of apology in his tone, "It's getting closer and closer to the Guishan Army, tomorrow it's time for Lu Ke to put on a dragon robe and pretend to be me, and after you leave later, I will invite him to talk!" ”
Liu Wei's tone changed, and he sighed: "For the peace of the world, in order to expel the barbarians as soon as possible, I can only let Lu Ke die for me!" But I will never let him die in vain, as long as the Han does not die for a day, I will let his children and grandchildren enjoy glory for generations to come. ”
"Lu Ke is indeed born nine points similar to His Majesty, and he can't recognize it at all if he doesn't look carefully, let alone see Zhou Yu's ambush soldiers from a distance. But let Lu Ke pretend to be His Majesty, where will Your Majesty go? The soldiers will definitely be able to recognize you when they see you, after all, Your Majesty's domineering can't be hidden, Lu Ke is just similar to Your Majesty's appearance, but in terms of temperament, it is inferior to Your Majesty! Wen Yang raised his concerns before retiring.
Liu Wei had already prepared, took out a disguised mask of Guo Jing from his sleeve, put it on his face quickly, and said to Sun Bin and Wen Yang: "This is a mask carefully made for me by a disguise master, can you still recognize me now?" ”
Sun Bin and Wen Yang were taken aback: "Ahhh......h Is there such a miracle mask in the world? I can't believe my eyes. ”
"Uh-huh...... It's unbelievable, Your Majesty wears this mask, even if you stand in front of Lu Ke, no one will be able to recognize Your Majesty! Wen Yang sighed.
Sun Bin warned: "If Zhou Yu believes in Xiao Qiao's letter, he may fire arrows from both sides of the road at any time, and the target will definitely be aimed at the emperor wearing a dragon robe. ”
Liu Wei bowed his head and said: "This I have my own sense of proportion, from tomorrow, Sun Qing and Jianye will also disguise themselves as soldiers, and only let some ordinary soldiers accompany Lu Ke in case of accidents!" ”
Wen Yang patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the arrows rain down, the minister will be unscathed." With me by the side of Lu Ke, who pretended to be His Majesty, I can play this scene more realistically, and I can confuse Meng Tian and Zhou Yu even more! ”
Liu Wei thought for a while, and finally agreed to Wen Yang's request: "It's naturally easier to deceive Zhou Yu, but Jianye, you must be careful and vigilant along the way, don't be careless." After a long journey, you two go down and rest, and I will send someone to summon Lu Ke over and have a chat with him!" ”
"Wait for the resignation!" Sun Bin and Wen Yang bowed together, withdrew from the tent, and went back to the tent to rest. (To be continued.) )
