Let's say that the Xuzhou soldiers and horses led by Lu Xun and Yan Liang in Taishan County were supported by 20,000 soldiers and horses from Ma Xiu and Ma Tie brothers, and set up several strange soldiers outside the city, killing the Lu Qian army and fleeing in embarrassment.Subsequently, Lu Xun held a banquet in the army to reward the soldiers of the three armies, so as to establish authority to the people in Taishan County and the prisoners of the Cao army who had been incorporated before, and the Zhao army was invincible.At the same time, when Chen Gong led the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses towards Taishan County, Chen Gong felt a lot of dullness in his heart along the way, looking at the mountains and forests on the left and right not far ahead, and the dullness in his heart was even thicker.The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Chen Gong couldn't help but stop the army, turned to the side and said: "Come on, why are there so many mountains near here, what kind of place is this" Zhang Xun, who had already made people survey the terrain, reported back to Chen Gong in time: "Returning to the military division, this is the only way to go to Taishan County, and it is also the fastest passage."
If you travel from other directions, I am afraid that it will take an extra day to reach Taishan County."
This is the main road that must be passed through in the past" Looking at the deep mountains and forests nearby, Chen Gong couldn't help frowning, and then ordered the army to stop, called Zhang Xun and Lei Bo to him and said: "I look at this section of the road, the mountains and forests are undulating, and the jungle is unfathomable.If there are enemy allies and comrades who lie in ambush again, I am afraid that our army will be destroyed.The two of you divided the troops, General Zhang Xun led 10,000 troops to follow me on this mountain and forest road, and led to it slowly, General Lei Bo led 20,000 troops to detour from other paths, and in front of our army round, if you hear any abnormal noise or do not find our army, you will directly return to the rescue. ”"What the military advisor means is that there may be enemy ambushes buried here," Zhang Xun couldn't help but wonder.Lei Bo also doubted in his heart: "Isn't the enemy army attacking Taishan County, and there is a stalemate with our army, how can it be possible to set up an ambush here" Chen Gong couldn't help but say again: "If it is Cao's army, of course it will not set up an ambush here, as you said, all the troops are attacking Taishan County right now."
What I'm worried about is those thieves in the mountains and forests, who made waves here back then, and the bandits who entrenched in this area are famous all over the world, and even Cao Cao can't help but tolerate them.In particular, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Feng are the most famous Taishan Sikou, and later these Taishan Sikou all surrendered to Cao Cao and moved to Xuzhou as officials.Xuzhou was simply captured by our main attack, and Changfeng, the head of the four Kou, was also killed, and Xuzhou was only calm. ”"The military advisor means that in addition to the four thieves of Mount Tai, there are other bandits entrenched here" Lei Bo said to me, looking at Chen Gong and nodding slightly, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, the military advisor is my army of 30,000 soldiers and horses again, even if those thieves have those thieves' hearts, they don't dare to sneak attack our army at will, even if they have this heart, then they have this strength." ”Lei Bo's voice lagged behind, Chen Gong couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Although the general said this, as far as Chen Gong knows, after the Mengying girl and the pottery merchant brothers in Xuzhou joined forces to kill Chang Xuan.The son of Changfeng fled when he heard the news, led a few cronies to escape from Xuzhou, and returned to the area of Taishan County to revive his father's bandits. ”Zhang Xun couldn't help but say: "Hmph, even so, a mere son can't compare to his father's ability, besides, three of the four Kou of Taishan back then were still officials in Xuzhou, only one of them was killed, and the four of them have long lost the gangsterism of the four Kou of Taishan, what can the son of Chang Feng do." ”Chen Gong immediately said: "If it is true as the two generals said, then it would be great, but everything is done with caution.Just in case, our army still divides up, even if the bandit doesn't dare to come out at any time.But now that our army and Cao Jun are in a critical period of integrity, we will never dare to be careless, and if these thieves stab our army in the back during the exchange of fire, it will not be good.Therefore, Chen Gong intends to take advantage of this occasion to uproot these hidden dangers of thieves" This time, after hearing Chen Gong's words, Zhang Xun couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Well, what the military advisor said is quite reasonable, when the army is fighting, what he is most afraid of is that there are other soldiers and horses secretly attacking.The two brothers of the former army Youma family led our strongest iron cavalry in Qingzhou to support, and there must be no other threat.We're here to wipe out those thieves and fight the front army. ”"Pass on my military orders, divide the troops and march, and march in and out."
With the sound of Chen Gong's order, Zhang Xun and Lei Bo led troops respectively, one route Zhang Xun led 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow Chen Gong, and the other route led Lei Bo to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to detour from other roads.For some reason, Chen Gong believed that there were enemy soldiers buried in this mountain forest this time, and Chen Gong acted differently from others, as long as there was a little risk, he was not willing to take risks.Maybe with the 30,000 soldiers and horses he led, he wouldn't be afraid of those thieves at all, but Chen Gong only led 10,000 soldiers and horses to march in order to divide the troops, just to let those bandits discover their weakness and deliberately lure them out, the purpose is to eliminate these guys.He wanted to clear all obstacles for the army behind him, or perhaps to pull out all worries in order to fight with Cao's army in the future.When Chen Gong and Zhang Xun led 10,000 horses and horses to march leisurely on this road, they suddenly encountered a living person in front of them carrying Lou Kuang on his back and walking towards this side with a hat, but judging from his dress, this person should be a common man who went up the mountain to chop wood.Seeing this, Chen Gong couldn't help but step forward and asked: "There are no village houses on the hill near here, why are you here" Facing Chen Gong's questioning, the man did not panic, but said calmly: "Oh, don't mention it, you don't know something."
Since King Zhao's soldiers and horses and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses fought, the little cowardice did not dare to live in the city for a long time, so he ran out, wanting to hide in the mountains, and did not return to the city until the war was over.No, after the rations of the past few days, I went down the mountain to pick some fruits, and folded some firewood to warm up at night. ”"Oh, I see, I have some rations here, and if you take them, you may be able to feed your hunger at night."
After Chen Gong finished speaking, he took off a small bag from the horse's back and handed it directly to the other party.Seeing this, the people chopping wood were slightly stunned at first, and then bowed their hands to Chen Gongyi and refused: "It seems that the military masters are going to march and fight, and the military rations are very important to you, how dare you accept the small ones, you must not." ”"Okay, since you don't want to take it, then I won't force it, I hope you will harvest a lot today."
That is, Chen Gong smiled at him."
Well, the little one won't disturb the march of the military masters.By the way, with all due respect, the battle in front of the soldiers and horses under the command of King Zhao has begun, why don't you speed up the march" Speaking of me, the man who chopped wood couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.Seeing him like this, Chen Gong stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "You guessed right, we are the soldiers and horses under the command of King Zhao today, and today my 10,000 troops have galloped all the way here, and I am so tired."
Therefore, the speed of the army was slower, in order to let the soldiers adjust their physical strength and hurry.Okay, fellow, let's leave it at that, and after our army enters the city to repel Cao's soldiers, you can return with confidence. ”When the woodcutter heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Well, thank you Jun Ye, I hope that the military master will be victorious." ”Immediately, the whole person left directly, Chen Gong and Zhang Xun didn't say a word when they saw this, and led the soldiers and horses to continue to move forward.Halfway through, Chen Gongcai couldn't help but ask Zhang Xun: "Does General Zhang Xun think this person is a little strange" Zhang Xun said without thinking at the moment: "Before, the city sentinel had already sent a letter saying that the city was resisting the attack of Cao Bing, and it stands to reason that the city should be safe, but this person ran to such a far place to chop wood, saying that it was to escape the war, it is too strange to say, and there must be fraud in it."
Moreover, a man who was afraid of war did not panic at the sight of our 10,000 troops, which is full of loopholes. ”"General Zhang's analysis is reasonable, these two points are indeed too suspicious, especially how dare a weak citizen ask us whose soldiers and horses we are, and question why we are moving so slowly."
Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking.Zhang Xun couldn't help but be curious and said: "So, the military advisor deliberately told him that our army was in a hurry, so the soldiers were tired, revealing our disadvantages, just to let them go back and report the news and lure the other party to take the bait" Chen Gong couldn't help but smile and said: "General Zhang really knows my heart, Chen Gong is the intention, but I don't know if this thief will notice this."
It would be foolish if he didn't even pay attention to that. ”Zhang Xun also immediately said: "If you bring the news back and successfully lead those thieves to attack, does it mean that they are too stupid." ”Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, it seems that we don't use any praise to describe them." ”Let's say that the person who chopped wood, after saying goodbye to the soldiers and horses of Chen Palace, flew into the deep mountain forest.As soon as he didn't enter the mountains and forests, he spread his feet and ran wildly, the running speed was somewhat staggering, and he didn't have the appearance of his limbs being inflexible before.I saw that after running all the way for several miles, there was an open space in front of him, and there were many people around, all of them were dressed as bandits, and the man stepped forward and arched his hand at one of the seemingly young young men: "The big boss, the small one has been found out just now, and the group of people who came this time is Zhao Yu's soldiers and horses, and the number is about thousands, nearly 10,000 people."
At this moment, because of the long distance and the galloping all the way, those Zhao troops all looked exhausted, and the marching speed was extremely slow. ”After hearing the man's words, the young thief, who was called the great master, grabbed him by the collar, stared at him with wide eyes, and said, "What you said is true":
