Chapter 652: The Battle of Chaohu Lake (1)

Seeing Sun Jian in the inner hall, Liu Qi immediately told Sun Jian about the situation analyzed by Zhuge Liang before, Sun Jian frowned and said, "Is this possible?" ”

Sun Jian looked at Pang Tong on the side with a puzzled look, Pang Tong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Very likely!" ”

Sun Jian frowned and said: "Now that the armies of all departments have been arranged, if the temporary adjustment is made, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary chaos!" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "It's better to order General Huo's headquarters to be stationed close to the river, and at the same time order General Huang to continue to advance towards Chaohu with great fanfare, and the main force is close to General Huo!" ”。

Pang Tongden understood Zhuge Liang's plan, and his eyes lit up, "Kong Ming is planning to use General Xiahou as a bait to attract the Wei army to attack, and then General Huang Lao will launch a surprise attack at the right time!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

Liu Qi and Sun Jian glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of excitement flashing in each other's eyes.

Sun Jian clapped his hands violently and said loudly: "Okay! That's it! Come! ”

Immediately, Sun Jian issued a series of orders according to Zhuge Liang's strategy, and at the same time, Liu Qi also gave Huo Jun an order to change his actions.

However, before nightfall that day, the bad news came from Jiaozhou, Sun Jian's army was defeated twice in a row, losing 50,000 people, and now Sun Ce is leading 60,000 troops to stay in Jiaozhou City.

Taken aback, Sun Jian hurriedly reconvened the generals and sent someone to invite Zhuge Liang.

"General, the ministries are already in place!" A herald rushed to Zhang Liao to report.

At this moment, Zhang He is on a hill, looking northwest to see the Chaohu Lake with blue waves on the horizon, and the southeast is hilly and undulating, dotted with clumps of woods. There is also a huge green dragon that has been formed in a row.

There were more than a dozen people standing beside Zhang He, one of whom was the right king of the Huns. However, at this time, he had already been called the actual commander of the Xianbei Legion, and the other person was Xu Shu.

Zhang He asked, "Where is the enemy army now?" ”

"It's only more than ten miles away from the ambush site!" The herald replied.

"The heralds ordered all the ministries not to act rashly. Listen to the order! Violators will be punished according to military law! Zhang He ordered with a serious face.

The herald answered and immediately went down.

Zhang He turned his head to the Right Virtuous King beside him and said, "Right Virtuous King, whether this battle can completely annihilate the enemy army depends on whether your Xianbei Legion completely destroys the enemy's front according to the plan!" ”

King Youxian confidently clenched his fists and said, "General, don't worry!" ”

Zhang He nodded, his eyes fixed on the southeast.

The three generals Huo Jun, Fei Guan, and Wu Lan led an army of 20,000 all the way to Chaohu, and their morale was very high, but the faces of Huo Jun and the other three generals looked a little dignified.

"General, I think this march is really a bit reckless!" Wu Lan frowned slightly.

Huo Jun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk such nonsense!" Since Your Majesty and the Prime Minister ordered us to march towards Chaohu. We can't afford to hesitate! ”

"The Chaohu Wei army camp has the Fourth Army Corps, one of the main forces of the Wei Army, and the Xianbei Army, with a total strength of 100,000, as well as tens of thousands of water divisions, and more than 100,000 local troops are also rushing to the direction of Chaohu! How many chances does our army have? Fei Guan said worriedly.

Wu Lan nodded thoughtfully, hugged his fist at Huo Jun and said, "General, why don't you propose to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to withdraw from the army?" ”

Huo Jun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Isn't the wisdom of Your Majesty and the Prime Minister inferior to you and me?" Since Your Majesty has decided so, you must have considered all the issues! We must not be half-hearted! ”

"But," Fei Guan wanted to say more.

Huo Jun impatiently interrupted Fei Guan's words: "Okay! Don't say any more! ”

Seeing Huo Jun like this, Fei Guan and Wu Lan had to close their mouths depressedly.

A moment later. The herald hurriedly came to Huo Jun and reported: "General, Your Majesty's urgent flying pigeon biography!" ”

As he spoke, the herald presented a short note in both hands.

Huo Jun hurriedly took the short note and read it carefully. But his face was puzzled.

"General, what did Your Majesty say?" Fei Guan asked impatiently.

Huo Jun said: "Your Majesty ordered us to stop advancing and turn to the west. Close to Chaohu Xiazhai! ”

Fei Guan and Wu Lan glanced at each other, Wu Lan clenched his fists and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty explain?" ”

Huo Jun shook his head. Glancing at the short note in his hand again, he said with some confusion: "Your Majesty seems to be in a hurry!" ”

Then he ordered: "Order the army to stop advancing." Turn west! ”

"No!" Fei Guan and Wu Lan hugged their fists and immediately retreated.

Immediately, Liu Qi's army of 20,000 stopped advancing and turned westward.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Liao learned of the situation.

"Strategist, did the enemy discover our plan?" Zhang He frowned and asked.

Xu Shu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't be sure for the time being!" ”

"Strategist, do you think the plan should be canceled?" Zhang He asked with some hesitation.

"No, the Fourth Legion and the various units of the local army will not move for the time being, and the Xianbei Legion will appropriately go forward to deal with the unexpected situation, send scouts to monitor the movements of the enemy army, and at the same time report the situation here to Your Majesty!"

Zhang He thought for a moment and nodded.

Soon after, the scouts brought the exact movements of Liu's army, and Liu's army was heading west, while other scouts came to report that there was no trace of any enemy troops around Liu's army.

Xu Shu judged that this action of Liu Jun was very likely to cooperate with the Wu army marching from the water, so he suggested that Zhang He change his original plan and use the main force of the Fourth Army to bypass Cao's army and attack Qu Ah directly, while the local army and Xianbei army immediately attacked Liu's army.

Zhang He immediately agreed to this plan, and then nearly 300,000 Wei troops began to move, and the 100,000 local troops temporarily requisitioned had actually arrived at Chaohu a day ago, but at this moment, a local army of about 10,000 people was coming towards Chaohu with great fanfare to confuse the enemy.

At this time, Liu Jun was still marching, about an hour later, Liu Jun arrived at the shore of Chaohu Lake, and then began to camp, at this time, Huo Jun received a flying pigeon from Liu Qi, which wrote a detailed battle plan.

After reading it, Huo Jun couldn't help but show a look of extreme admiration, Huo Jun immediately ordered all his subordinates to speed up the camp, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Wei army.

Soon after, Huang Gai reported that his main force had been ambushed into the reeds less than ten miles away from Huo Jun, and that the coalition forces were ready.

In the evening of the same day, Huo Jun suddenly received an urgent report from the scouts that a large army of the Wei army was marching in the direction of Qu'a! Huo Jun was shocked.

Huo Jun hurriedly passed the situation out through the flying pigeon, and at this moment, another scout came to inspect and report: "General, the main force of the Wei army has appeared!" ”

Huo Jun suddenly got up and asked urgently, "Where is it?" How many people are there? ”

"To the north of our barracks, less than ten miles! About 200,000 people! There is also a part of it that is cavalry! ”

"Two hundred thousand? What happened to the big army that said that it was going to Qu before? Huo Jun couldn't help frowning.

Wu Lan asked the scout, "Those cavalry should be the Xianbei Legion, right?"

"Exactly!"

"What part of the other more than 100,000 infantry troops are there?" Wu Lan frowned and asked.

The scout replied without even thinking about it, "It's the Fourth Legion of the Wei Army!" ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"Their banner is the Fourth Legion."

Wu Lan frowned, clasped her fists at Huo Jun and said, "General, you must call the scout from before over and ask again!" ”

Huo Jun nodded, and immediately ordered someone to call the scout over. (To be continued.) )
