Chapter 1035: What's the Situation
The crowd marched while thinking of a way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoJust when there was no solution, a small city suddenly appeared in front of me.
Li Yi hurriedly asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”
Xu Shu, as the Sima of the General's Mansion, played the role of an intelligence analyst to a certain extent, plus he had traveled to Jingxiang in his early years, and he knew everything well, so he immediately said: "Lord, this is Danyang Ju, you can go over and settle down and rest a little." ”
The so-called gathering, according to the explanation in "Shuowen Jiezi", is the meaning of Yiluo, which is similar to the current town. If you look at a map of the Han Dynasty, you will find that there are many such places, especially in the north. Many of these agglomerations are just places where residents are concentrated, and they do not form cities at all. For example, the Danyang Ju that Li Yi sees now is relatively well developed, after all, the city wall has been built, although the city wall is very short and simple.
Li Yi led the soldiers to Danyang to gather, and saw that after the city gate was opened, a group of soldiers and horses came out. It turned out to be a 500-strong Northern Xinjiang Army, guarding this small city.
Li Yi saw that this small city in Danyang only had low walls, and it was only four or five people high, so he really couldn't resist Liu Bei's army. But immediately he saw a few shivering people at the city gate, pushing wagons and carrying hoes, and did not dare to enter or leave the city gate. This suddenly made Li Yi have an idea, and he hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhi, Wen He, so and so and so, this prince gathers in Danyang to resist Liu Bei, and you quickly order scattered soldiers everywhere to gather." ”
When Jia Xu and Xu Shu heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they shouted: "Lord, although this plan is mysterious, it is too dangerous. It's better to attract Liu Bei by Xu (Shu) here, and the lord should go quickly. ”
Li Yi shook his head and said: "If you use this plan, Liu Bei and Na Pang will definitely not be fooled, and they need to come in person." In addition, it is estimated that there are still 150,000 people in our army, how can we watch these soldiers being chased and killed by Liu Bei. I have made up my mind, and needless to say, you will go and gather up the troops everywhere at once. ”
Jia Xu and Xu Shu didn't agree, they just didn't leave.
After a while, four generals, including Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and Xue Rengui, each led a different number of sergeants here. And around it, the Yizhou army also appeared and was driven away by the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
An enemy probe horse appeared, and Liu Bei was close to the left. Li Yi absolutely couldn't sit and watch 150,000 soldiers being slaughtered by the Yizhou army, he said again: "With the protection of Xue Rengui, Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and others, this duke will not be in danger, Wenhe and Yuanzhi don't waste any more time, go and gather soldiers and horses." ”
Jia Xu and Xu Shu saw that Li Yi had indeed made up his mind, and said goodbye: "Xu (Shu) on behalf of the 150,000 soldiers of our army, thank the lord for his kindness." ”
Only then did the soldiers know that Li Yi wanted to put himself in danger and delay Liu Bei's army, so that he and others could get out safely. Since ancient times, there has never been such a generous lord who loves soldiers like a son, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is grateful and falls to the ground. They were all indignant, unwilling to go, and wanted to accompany Li Yi in life and death.
Li Yi was furious and had to give the order to die.
Jia Xu is the best at self-protection, and has always pursued prudence in doing things, and then said: "The lord can leave these soldiers and ambush them outside the north gate, if Liu Bei is not successful, it is good to answer the lord." ”
Li Yi is actually only fifty percent sure, which has an extra insurance, and the life coefficient has been greatly improved, so he agreed.
The military order was like a mountain, and hundreds of northern Xinjiang troops said goodbye with tears and went to ambush on the other side.
………………
On the Jianghan Plain north of Nanzhangshui, Liu Bei led 150,000 Yizhou troops to rush murderously.
At this time, a horse came to the dust, rolled the saddle and got off the horse and bowed: "Lord, I found a small city in front, and my subordinates saw it, and saw Li Yi and the team appear there." ”
"This must be a small town in Danyang." As a native of Jingzhou, Pang Tong knew the terrain well, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Have you seen how many people and horses?" ”
Tanma replied embarrassedly: "There are too many enemy scouts, and I don't have time to take a closer look, but looking at the flag, there is no doubt that it must be Li Yi." ”
Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong suspiciously.
Pang Tong stroked his long beard lightly and said firmly: "This must be Li Yi, if you want to use Danyang to gather a small city to resist the pursuit of our army, the lord can whip his horse quickly, maybe Li Yi is still in the city." ”
Liu Bei heard that he could catch Li Yi, so under his order, the Yizhou army began to advance at full speed.
………………
Danyang gathers small cities.
Li Yi only had 500 soldiers around him, and he ordered this and this and this, and ordered Li Cunxiao and Gao Zhong to take 300 soldiers to collect the banner at the head of the city, and then hide it, and when necessary, wave the flag and shout, thinking that it was a suspicious tactic. Only left his own Li Zishuai flag.
Then he ordered the remaining 200 soldiers to hide in the hills or woods outside the city with their banners, and when they heard the sound of drums, they also waved their flags and shouted to strengthen the tactics of the suspicious soldiers.
After arranging everything, he climbed to the south head of Danyang Ju Town.
The generals also heard all kinds of unbelievable orders from the lord, and they were all a little stunned, and said in their hearts that the lord's strange tactics can really retreat Liu Bei's army of more than 100,000?
Less than a quarter later, the dust outside the south gate was furious, and more than 100,000 Yizhou troops came to cover up the sky.
Liu Bei led Pang Tong, Li Yan, Zhou Cang, Sha Moke, Liu Bi and others, as well as more than 100,000 people from Yizhou to the front of Danyang Juxiaocheng.
"Stop!" Liu Bei raised his hand arrogantly, and as the shouts behind him came and went, more than 100,000 Yizhou troops stopped. In the array, the flags are displayed, the swords and guns are like forests, the soldiers are like rainbows, and the formation is majestic and majestic.
Liu Bei saw the strength of his army, coupled with the fact that he had just defeated Li Yi, the invincible Han god of war in the world for 20 years, especially now that he had the opportunity to capture Li Yi alive, Liu Bei was in a very good mood, and he looked at Danyang Ju Town with great ambition.
The generals guarded Liu Bei, lined up behind him, and they also built pergolas to look at the small city from afar. I saw that the city gate was closed, and there was nothing at the head of the city except for a big flag with a character of Li fluttering alone, not even a small flag, which was really strange.
Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked to the left, and the generals also looked to the left, there was the direction of Jingshan Mountain, and the hills were undulating, but everyone found nothing except a piece of greenery.
Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked to the right again, and the generals also turned their heads from the left and looked to the right. On the right is the flat Jianghan Plain, as far as the eye can see, and there is nothing gray.
Pang Tong said suspiciously: "Isn't Li Yi gathering troops here?" Why is there no one? ”
Liu Bei looked at the city from afar, and there was nothing quietly, and suddenly exclaimed: "Qin Li Yiguan will steal and play tricks, there is no one in the right way, there is a moth, a knife in the back is clear, the crooked door is a bad stomach, beware of fraud......"
The generals were shocked when they heard this, and the quiet situation around them looked more and more like a prelude to deception.
At this time, Zhou Cang pointed to the head of the city and said loudly: "Lord, look, Li Yi ......"
Liu Bei and everyone hurriedly looked, and sure enough, they saw a person appear on the top of the city, although the water vapor on the land of Jianghan after the rain was steaming, resulting in some blurred realization, but that person in red robe and black armor was undoubtedly Li Yi.
Liu Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly looked left and right again.
The crowd followed suit, expecting to find something, but there was no movement.
This is simply incredible, just because Li Yi is the first prince of the Han Dynasty who commands the land of ten states and has a population of tens of millions, will there be no soldiers and horses in the city where he appears?
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other, and even Pang Tong, who was full of wisdom, frowned.
Suddenly, a "squeak" sound sounded in the direction of the city gate, and Liu Bei and the others trembled in their hearts when they heard the sound, and hurriedly looked at the city gate. I saw the city gate of Danyang Ju City slowly open.
Liu Bei was not lightly frightened, he hurriedly pulled out his double-strand sword with a "cangchang" sound, and vigilantly stared at the opening of the city gate, like a deer that had discovered danger.
"The ...... of the Lot"
"The ...... of the Lot"
"The ...... of the Lot"
……
The sound of the weapon unsheathed kept sounding, but the soldiers of the Yizhou army were also frightened, and they were on guard, and even Pang Tong drew his sword.
More than 100,000 people in the Yizhou army were a little nervous waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Northern Frontier Army to be killed in the city gate. They held their breath, brisked their spirits, and prepared for a big battle.
No way, this is already north of Nanzhangshui, not too far from Xiangyang. If there is an elite of the Northern Frontier Army stationed here, then the strength of the Northern Frontier Army will be a huge threat to the Yizhou Army.
Previously, the Yizhou Army launched a surprise attack because of the unsuitability of the Northern Xinjiang Army, but despite this, the Yizhou Army only won a miserable victory in this battle, destroying about 50,000 enemies, but its own side also lost more than 30,000, which is really unimaginable.
Therefore, although the Yizhou army had just defeated the Northern Xinjiang Army, in the hearts of these Yizhou soldiers, they were a little afraid of the Northern Xinjiang Army. After all, they defeated a Northern Frontier Army that had lost most of its combat effectiveness, not a Northern Frontier Army in its heyday.
Now that they may be facing a northern Xinjiang army with complete combat effectiveness, the Yizhou army is naturally very nervous in their hearts. Therefore, one by one, the weapons were unsheathed and ready to prevent the Northern Xinjiang Army from charging into battle.
However, what happened next made the Yizhou soldiers dumbfounded.
"Baa, baa......" First, the people drove out a flock of sheep.
"Moo moo moo ......" followed the people who drove the cattle down to the field.
"Gollum ......" Afterwards, someone pushed a cart and carried the goods out of the city.
Liu Bei was dumbfounded, Li Yan, Zhou Cang, Wu Yi and others were dumbfounded, and Pang Tong was also a little dumbfounded. They originally thought that it should be the Northern Xinjiang Army going out of the city to meet the battle, but they never expected that it was a group of ordinary people driving cattle and sheep out of the city.
"This ...... This...... This ......" Liu Bei held the double-strand sword in both hands, pointing at the cattle and sheep for a long time, and then he spoke up and exclaimed, "Military advisor, what is the situation?" What's going on? ”
