Lu Xun secretly left Jiangzhou, and according to his plan with Gao Shun, he wanted to get behind Zhuge Liang. The land of Shu is mountainous, and as long as one of the mountain passes is controlled, it is possible to cut off Zhuge Liang's retreat. The map carefully viewed by Gao Shun and Lu Xun
They chose Yaozigou. This place is backed by mountains on one side and faces the river on the other. The terrain is very good. The path runs along the river. If a camp is set up along the road, even an army of 100,000, not to mention 40,000 troops, may not be able to get through.
This Yaozi Valley has another advantage. It is shaped like a kite. There is a gentle slope here. Although the slope is not steep, it is very long. It is extremely difficult to walk up. After Lu Xun saw it, he immediately ordered to occupy the top of the slope. Zhuge Liang also had troops here.
There were only a few horses stationed there. He also felt that this place was too dangerous, and his retreat would be cut off if someone occupied it. Zhuge Liang was a cautious man, so he also left some troops and horses here.
Lying down in the grass halfway up the mountain, Lu Xun looked down: "There are not many people. We have people ambush at the entrance of the valley. We can't let anyone escape!"
Bursts of shouts of killing suddenly came from the middle of the mountain. Liu Beijun, who was resting, was startled. He hurriedly looked up and saw densely packed black-armored soldiers and horses on the middle of the mountain rushing towards his camp like a flood. The general who stayed behind
It was a captain. Seeing this posture, he grabbed the soldier beside him and said, "Quick! Send someone to notify the military advisor immediately, and tell the dragon army to sneak attack on our retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly pierced his chest. His whole body was shocked, and he grabbed the soldier's hand tighter: "Quick! Go quickly!"
Lu Xun led five thousand soldiers and horses, while Liu Bei's army who stayed behind could only reach four to five hundred. With such a huge disparity, Liu Bei's army surrendered without much fighting. When he entered Liu Bei's camp, Lu Xun did not rest, and sent people
Strengthen the camp while having people deal with the prisoners. The prisoners are divided into three groups, those who are willing to surrender are placed in one group, the old, weak, sick and disabled are placed in one group, and those who are die-hard and loyal to Liu Bei are placed in one group. Three groups of people
The handling methods were also different. Those who surrendered were naturally returned to their own troops, the old and the weak were released on the spot, and they were killed stubbornly. The captain Liu Beijun sent out to report the news before his death was also caught, and Lu Xun didn't even look at it.
He was ordered to kill with one knife.
Lu Xun also had his own ideas for the renovation of the camp. Although Liu Beijun's camp was also in control, there was no warning on the east mountain. Lu Xun took advantage of this loophole and swarmed down from the east mountain. Lu Xun sent his troops
The horses were divided into two groups, one camped on the main road and the other camped on the top of the mountain. The road was dug and the river was diverted around the front of the village, completely cutting off the road.
Lu Xun stepped up the construction offensive behind Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was not idle either. He sent people to dig tunnels. The results were pretty good. Jiangzhou is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, and the soil is relatively soft. As long as reinforcement measures are taken, the tunneling speed will be very fast.
.There was no movement in Jiangzhou. No scouts or spies were sent out. I just don’t know if anyone has heard about their movements.
Ten days later, the person responsible for digging the tunnel came back and reported that the tunnel had been dug. This made Zhuge Liang and others overjoyed. Mi Zhu quickly asked: "Has Gao Shun discovered it?"
The captain shook his head: "No, the exit is very hidden. I sent people up to check, but there was no movement!"
Ma Liang chuckled: "That's great. As long as we enter the city and cooperate inside and outside, Jiangzhou will definitely win! At that time, look at how long Fei is compared to me!"
"Don't be careless!" Zhuge Liang said: "Tomorrow you can send a small team of soldiers and horses to sneak into Jiangzhou to test it out. If something unexpected happens, find another way!"
The next day, Zhuge Liang sent out a team of more than a dozen people. The group sneaked into Jiangzhou from the tunnel and walked around Jiangzhou City. From the outside, Jiangzhou looked particularly quiet, but in fact it was very lively inside.
People were coming and going on the streets, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people helping out, they were all busy coming and going. They were all busy working for the survival of Jiangzhou. At this time, you can see what it means to be a person who wins the hearts of the people.
These dozen people did not dare to make any move. After checking, they came back from the tunnel and told everything they saw in Jiangzhou City. Ma Liang was not concerned about that. He heard that Gao Shun had not discovered the tunnel.
Ma Liang immediately laughed and said, "Commander, we will win this battle!"
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Our army has been stationed in Jiangzhou for half a year, and the people have not been so active. And Long Fei has only been here for two months, and it is already clear who will win and who will lose!"
"The military advisor is ridiculous!" Ma Liang immediately responded: "Long Fei is just good at winning people's hearts. The people of Jiangzhou have been deceived by Long Fei. If Long Fei really complies with the people's wishes, why do all the big families in Jiangzhou move? This world is full of big families.
This is the most unwise thing about Long Fei in the world! When we occupy Jiangzhou and move those aristocratic families back, Jiangzhou will still be our Jiangzhou!"
As Wei Yan was the vanguard, the job of drilling into the tunnel was naturally his. According to Wei Yan, this was a dog hole. How could a man drill into a dog hole? But Zhuge Liang had given the order and he had to listen. He raised his head and glanced at the darkness.
Wei Yan gritted his teeth, bent down and climbed in. In order to prevent Gao Shun from discovering the tunnel, the entrance to the tunnel was chosen behind a mountain ridge.
The tunnel is quite spacious, and it is just right for two people to bend down and walk in it side by side. For safety reasons, vertical trees are used to hold up the wooden boards above the head, but occasionally some clods of soil will fall. Wei Yan
Someone accidentally stepped into the water. Because this place is very close to the Yangtze River, the underground water is relatively shallow. The river water in the tunnels pours backwards. Over time, a lot of river water will accumulate. It is dark, humid, and turbid, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable vocabulary is reflected brilliantly here.
The tunnel was very long, and Wei Yan's back felt a little sore, so the guide said: "General, the exit is just ahead, would you like to send someone up to check it out?"
"Okay! Go quickly! I don't want to stay here for even a quarter of an hour!" Wei Yan was hunched over uncomfortably, eager to get out immediately.
Soon there was movement among the people going up. Wei Yan looked up and saw a soldier lying at the entrance of the tunnel, waving upwards. Wei Yan stretched out his body and climbed up on the repaired steps. His head was still in the pit, so he stretched out his hand.
He stretched out his arm and said angrily: "Damn, give me a lift!"
Someone grabbed Wei Yan's wrist and lifted it up hard. He felt a sudden lightness under his feet, and his whole body floated out of the tunnel. The dazzling sunlight made his eyes hurt. Just as he was about to reach out to rub his eyes, he felt his eyes tremble.
One arm was actually carried behind his back. Something as thick as a hemp rope was swimming between his arms. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a large ball of rags was immediately stuffed into his mouth.
When Wei Yan's eyes adapted to the light outside, he suddenly felt depressed. Just outside the tunnel exit, a large group of dragon troops stood neatly outside. They were in groups of two, each holding a rope in their hands. Started.
All the soldiers who came up were tied up, and only one of his own soldiers was still waving down at the entrance of the tunnel.
Wei Yan snorted twice, and Gao Shun on the side hurriedly made a silence gesture with a faint smile on his face. Wei Yan had no choice but to speak out but announced it, and could only watch the soldiers being killed by Gao Shun one by one.
They were taken down and taken away one by one. Finally, a clever guy stretched his head up. Seeing this, he hurriedly fell down. The dragon army on the side did not catch him, and he jumped into the tunnel.
inside.
"Send signal!" There was only a sound of an arrow rising into the sky. Suddenly there was a loud noise and he felt a wave under his feet. Wei Yan opened his eyes wide. Although he didn't know what happened, his intuition made him feel that it must not be a good thing. Sure enough, time
It wasn't big, but there was a faint smoke coming from the entrance of the tunnel, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Soon there was a violent coughing sound coming from the tunnel, and a soldier came out of the tunnel with runny nose and tears.
At this point, you don't even care about what's outside. If you don't go out, you might be suffocated to death inside. Even if there's a guillotine outside, you can at least survive for a while. Just like before, soldiers came over to kill those crawling people.
Liu Beijun captured those who came out one after another and kept them down one by one. At this time, Wei Yan did not say anything. He knew that they had been prepared for it. Even if he didn't come up just now, he would definitely climb out now.
As Wei Yan expected, from the first day Gao Shun was stationed in Jiangzhou, he discovered that the soil in Jiangzhou was soft and very suitable for digging tunnels. When Zhuge Liang's army arrived, he took special precautions. Sure enough, three days ago,
Gao Shunli continued to use Long Fei to detect the tunnel and successfully found the location of Zhuge Liang's tunnel. Yesterday, Zhuge Liang sent troops to test, and Gao Shunli also knew about it, but he did not alert the snake.
Today, the person responsible for listening to the sound of the tunnel heard a noisy sound in the tunnel. Gao Shun immediately realized that someone was coming, and immediately summoned soldiers and horses to wait at the entrance of the cave. Since you came quietly, I will also catch Wei Yan quietly.
The people sent to see the situation were arrested, and then they were lured up one by one. If that didn't work, there was another trick. Gao Shun had people dig out the tunnel overnight near the city wall. As long as the people inside wanted to escape, they would immediately dig it out.
Collapse it, then set fire inside to prevent smoke, so that no one Liu Beijun who comes in can escape.
After waiting for a full noon, there was no movement in Jiangzhou City. Ma Liang looked around anxiously: "What's going on? What is this Wei Yan doing?"
Mi Zhu shook his head: "From this point of view, it seems that there is more danger than danger! Military advisor, why don't we withdraw our troops temporarily and make good plans again!"
"No! We have been waiting for so long. If we retreat now and there are changes in the city, won't we miss the opportunity?" Ma Liang still has a glimmer of hope. According to his estimation, the matter is very likely to work out, but he can't understand why.
There has been no movement yet? Suddenly he remembered something: "Military advisor, has Wei Yan gone to Long Fei's side?"
