Chapter 1088: Zhu Ran's plan will be calculated
Let's say that Zhu Yi and Zhu Ji, after repelling the soldiers and horses of the two generals of the Lu brothers of the Zhao army, began to lead the army back. Later, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and killed as many as 600 enemy troops when they pursued the enemy army, while Army B only injured dozens of people and wounded more than a dozen people during the pursuit, which can be described as a good record.
As soon as the two returned to the city, they were immediately greeted by Zhu Zhi, and in the face of Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yi immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt down and said: "The sin general Zhu Yi dared to go out of the city to kill the enemy this time, ignoring the general's military orders, and hoping that the general will punish him." ”
After hearing Zhu Yi's words, Zhu Zhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, if General Zhu Huan is a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be satisfied if he can see your feat today." This time, I will recite the merits of your efforts to kill the enemy, and offset them together, and get up. ”
Zhu Zhi's words obviously made Zhu Yi happy, and he hurriedly bowed his hand again: "Zhu Yi, thank you general." With that, he got up and led his horse into the city. And Zhu Zhi asked again at this moment: "This time, the Metropolitan Governor has led the army and is ready to fight with the Zhao army, this is a time of crisis, and we must not be careless." If the Zhao army attacks again in the future, you must be careful, you must know that the Zhao army is known for its cunning, and we must not fall for their tricks. ”
In the face of Zhu Zhi's persuasion, Zhu Yi, who had just won the battle, would not care, and immediately said: "General Huiyu, I think these Zhao troops just want to take advantage of the time when the metropolitan governor sent troops, so they secretly came to plunder the war achievements. It's just that the Zhao Jun who came this time was a little too lame, and Zhu Yi alone made him have no power to fight back. If they hadn't run fast, I'm afraid that in this battle, Zhu Yi would definitely shoot those two guys in one fell swoop and take down their army. ”
Listening to Zhu Yi's confident words, Zhu Zhi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Zhao Jun is scheming, I am afraid that this time I am deceiving your vigilance, so you must be careful." Don't fall for their tricks next time, you won't regret it by then, it's too late. ”
And Zhu Ji on the side hurriedly said: "General, just now Zhu Ji went out of the city to assist General Zhu Yi in the battle with the enemy generals, and found that the martial arts of those two generals of the Zhao army were indeed mediocre. There were a few times when Zhu Ji almost knocked them off the horse, but he didn't expect them to flee suddenly, otherwise the two of us would definitely be able to capture them in one fell swoop this time. If those two were pretending, they shouldn't have fled so quickly, and as soon as they fled, they sacrificed the lives of hundreds of soldiers in vain. ”
This time, Zhu Ji's words undoubtedly reminded Zhu Zhi, as he said. If it was the trick of the Zhao army this time, then the Zhao army would have no reason to make such a sacrifice, could it be that the nearby Zhao army couldn't bear it, and quietly led the soldiers and horses to attack, but encountered a strong counterattack from the B army, and fled in the wilderness?
Just when Zhu Zhi was puzzled, he saw a general next to him stand up and remind: "General, if we are worried that this is a trick of the Zhao army, then we can completely plan and take this opportunity to capture this army in one fell swoop." Seeing that the number of troops just now is as high as 5,000, if it can be won in one fell swoop, it will be considered a great feat, and it will definitely be a big blow to the Zhao army. ”
The person who spoke this time was Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran, who was not only brave, but also strategic, so his military achievements were extraordinary. Deeply appreciated by Sun Quan before, and also received the strong recommendation of Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, this time the eight people came to guard Nanyang County, Zhu Ran in addition to being a general, but also served as a military advisor.
After listening to Zhu Ran's words, everyone around was surprised, only to hear Zhu Zhi couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what kind of strategy Ran'er can take down this enemy army?" If I can take down this enemy army of 5,000 men, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty in the future. ”
Zhu Zhi's words were obviously a great encouragement to Zhu Ran, but Zhu Ran's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "According to Zhu Ran, if this enemy army has a conspiracy this time, then its purpose must be to lure our army out of the city to fight." Then, when it retreated, it was pursued, and when the time came, there were ambushes on the way, and in one fell swoop, it broke the pursuers of our army. ”
"If that's the case, then why don't we just plan and set up an ambush outside the city the next time the enemy arrives. Then he pretended to go out of the city to engage him, defeated him once again and fled, and immediately pursued him. And the ambushes of our army also took the opportunity to march quietly, as long as the pursuers of our army jumped into the trap of the enemy. When the ambush soldiers of the enemy army were successfully lured in, the ambush soldiers of our army also took the opportunity to sneak attack them, and took down the enemy's army and its ambush soldiers in one fell swoop. ”
As soon as Zhu Ran's plan came out, everyone immediately nodded and praised, but Zhu Ran couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment and said: "It's just that this strategy is a little dangerous, I don't know if the general is willing?" ”
Zhu Zhi listened to Zhengxing, and when he heard Zhu Ran's embarrassment, he hurriedly couldn't help but ask, "Oh? If there are any difficulties, you might as well say it bluntly, and we can solve it together. ”
I saw Zhu Ran pause and said: "Judging from the soldiers and horses that the enemy came this time, there are about 5,000 people, if there are really ambush soldiers, the number of ambush soldiers will definitely not be less than 3,000 soldiers and horses." If we want to completely annihilate the enemy's army, we must use twice as many troops to destroy all the enemy's troops in one battle. Our army has only 30,000 soldiers and horses this time, and if we send too many soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the strength of the city's defenses will drop a lot, and if there is any danger at that time, it will not be good. ”
As soon as Zhu Ran's voice fell, his brother, Zhu Zhi's son Zhu Cai, spoke: "As long as we can take down this enemy army of 10,000 people in one fell swoop, the enemy army will definitely be defeated, and we will be afraid of the strength of our army, so we will not dare to attack again." If we abandon it, I am afraid that those Zhao troops will be like a group of rats, harassing our army every day, and they will not retreat when the time comes. Anyway, we are idle here, so it is better to take this opportunity to take down this enemy army in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a great battle for our army. And it can also weaken the enemy's troops, so why not, everyone says yes. ”
Zhu Cai was originally Zhu Zhi's eldest son, but because Zhu Zhi adopted Zhu Ran as his eldest son, Zhu Cai was regarded as the second son. He is good at martial arts, shrewd, and good at riding and shooting, but because he does not have too many merits, his official position is a general. This time, when he learned that Zhao Yu led a large army to attack Jingzhou from Yizhou Ba County, Zhu Cai originally wanted to follow the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu to fight against the Zhao army and win some merits.
But I didn't expect that the Metropolitan Governor would let himself follow his father and others to Nanyang County to guard together. In this way, the opportunity to establish meritorious service was lost, and Zhu Cai has always been sullen about it. This time, seeing such a good opportunity for meritorious service, I asked Zhu Cai why he missed it. After all, in his own Zhu family, the official positions of his eldest brother Zhu Ran, as well as Zhu Ji and Zhu Yi, have surpassed him, and if this continues, I am afraid that he will never be able to become a general who can really lead the army.
In the face of Zhu Cai's persuasion, Zhu Zhi was obviously a little moved, knowing that he was concerned with these young generals of the Zhu family around him. Zhu Zhi is the most clear, it can be said that everyone has good skills, but it is not that he lacks an opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.
In addition, this enemy attack is really weird. If these enemy soldiers just ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and came to death without any ability, then Zhu Zhi would rather send troops to send these guys on the road. If, as Zhu Ran said, these enemy soldiers have evil intentions and want to set up ambushes to kill themselves. Then you can completely plan and take down all these enemy troops in one fell swoop and deal a blow to the enemy army. By the way, with the help of this battle, the prestige and morale of the Wu army will be raised in one fell swoop, and it will be a great achievement to report to His Majesty when the time comes.
At that moment, I saw Zhu Zhi speak: "Just act according to Zhu Ran's strategy, after tomorrow, Zhu Yi and Zhu Ji will still defend the city, lure the enemy army to come, and when the time comes, you will go out of the city to fight with it, and you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses." And Zhu Ran and Zhu Cai, Zhu Ji and I each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush on the way, as soon as the enemy's ambush appeared, we would attack left and right, and take this enemy army together. As for Zhu Wei and Zhu Wan, they are responsible for leading the remaining soldiers and horses to defend the city, as long as we do not come back, we are not allowed to open the city gate if we approach. ”
After Zhu Zhi's deployment, everyone's fighting spirit was high, and they wanted to take down the Zhao army that came to attack in one fell swoop. After waiting for a day, everyone did not see the Zhao army's men coming, and after hesitating, everyone thought that those Zhao troops were only coming occasionally, and there was no conspiracy. It wasn't until the second day later that the Zhao army that came to attack appeared again, and after observation, it was the pair of twin enemy generals who came to attack before.
Seeing that the incident was going according to Zhu Ran's plan, Wu Jun couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in their hearts, if they could really win this Zhao army this time, it would definitely be a great achievement.
Just as Wu Jun thought, it was still Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang who came to march this time, and the two of them led the soldiers and horses to the city gate with murderous spirit along the way, and they had the urge to be ashamed. And Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Zhu Cai and Zhu Ji each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and ambushed them on the left and right sides of the way.
Just when the two armies of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang passed by the Wu army in ambush on both sides, this Zhu Zhi and the others could hardly resist the urge to rush forward. However, considering that everyone had discussed before to lure Zhao Jun's ambush soldiers to show up, everyone had to endure that impulsive move. Hide this impulse in his heart, intending to explode to these Zhao troops in one fell swoop when the time comes, so that this army of Zhao Jun can have a good taste of everyone's anger.
The poor two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, still don't know that they and others are being targeted by the hidden Wu army.
