On July 13, the third year of Datong of the Han Dynasty, the Han army marched for four days from Huazhou and arrived at Feilongpo, seventy miles southwest of Weizhou. Feilongpo was only a few hundred meters away from the Fuyuan Canal.
It was stuck in the bifurcated section of the official road from Weizhou to Weizhou and Huazhou. The Han army occupied this place and suddenly blocked the official road from Zhou army to Weizhou and Huazhou.
Forty thousand Han troops set up camp at Feilongpo, pretending to be fighting a protracted war. They seemed to be in no hurry to attack the Zhou army heading south. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that the Zhou army could not defend Feilongpo.
It's like returning south. Although there is only one flat official road from Weizhou to Huazhou, it is not necessary to take this road. Besides, Feilongpo is called slope, which is actually just a place name. The terrain here is gentle.
At a glance, there are plains for hundreds of miles, and there is no danger to defend at all. I don't know what the Han army's leading generals, Hua Ling and Yang Ye, planned.
In this open area, even if they form a stronghold and set up camp, they cannot stop the Zhou army group from charging. Especially, this time the Zhou army went south and almost all the cavalry of the Ding'an army were mobilized. There were only five of the 150,000 troops.
Wan were all cavalry. Not to mention dispatching the whole army, even if 50,000 cavalry attacked the Han army's 40,000 horses, it would still be a victory. The Han army camped in such an open area, and there was a canal on one side. It can be said that it
He placed himself on a dead end, just waiting for Zhou Jun to rush over and kill him.
Sixty miles south of Weizhou, the Zhou army and the Han army camped ten miles apart.
Qu Sheng hurried into Pei Zhan's Chinese army tent and described the situation of the Han army to Pei Zhan in detail. Like him, Pei Zhan was also a little confused after learning about the abnormal behavior of the Han army. He signaled.
Qu Sheng didn't say anything, and Pei Zhan leaned back in the large chair with his eyes closed and meditated. His big mastiff named Ten Thousand Enemies was lying at his feet, panting with its tongue out because of the hot weather.
I don't know how long it took, but Pei Zhan opened his eyes and said: "Send a few more teams of scouts out, behind us, and on the right wing to increase the search area."
Qu Sheng responded, he knew what Pei Zhan was worried about, and this was exactly what he was worried about. The 40,000 Han army camped at Feilongpo, just to stop the army from returning south. And according to the scouts' observations,
The barracks and horses of the Han army's camp were very solidly built, and it did not look like they were trying to confuse themselves. Various signs indicate that the Han army in Feilongpo had the intention of sticking to this place. According to Qu Sheng's analysis, this was done
The only purpose was to deceive others. What did they want to cover up? Apart from sending the army around to his right wing or behind to launch a surprise attack, he really couldn't think of any other plan for the Han army.
"in addition……"
Pei Zhan gently stroked the smooth fur of the big mastiff and said: "Send people to Huazhou to find out the strength of the Han army. The Han army is not in a hurry to fight, and we are not in a hurry. This place is only sixty miles away from Weizhou.
, Even if the Han army wants to attack Gu Wang’s army from the rear, can it still withstand the two-sided attack from Gu Wang’s army and Weizhou’s defenders?”
Qu Sheng said: "According to the news from the spies, Liu Ling is still in the Chunfeng Lake Palace in Huazhou. If His Highness's prediction is good, I'm afraid Liu Ling wants to cover up others' eyes. When the army and the Han army fight at Feilongpo,
He personally led his troops around to make a surprise attack behind the army. What Liu Ling is best at is commanding cavalry in battle, and the Han army's cavalry is indeed very sharp."
Pei Zhan smiled and waved his hand and said: "No, since Gu Neng came back quietly from Jizhou, couldn't Liu Ling hide among the 40,000 Han army? It is true that he is good at commanding cavalry, but the Han army's cavalry
The troops are limited, but Gu has 50,000 cavalry. Even if the Han cavalry attacks from the right wing or the rear, will the king's cavalry be vegetarian?"
He said: "Go and order the army to set up camp. Since the Han army is not going to move, we will not move either. I want to see what Liu Ling will do if he can't find a chance!"
Qu Sheng bowed in response, then raised his head and said: "Your Highness has a body of thousands of gold, and you must not let anything slip by. Please don't go out lightly. I'll leave the front matter to the humble post. There are only 40,000 Han troops.
No matter what, you can't stop the prince's 150,000 lions."
Pei Zhan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you worried about the safety of the lonely king, or do you want to have a head-on confrontation with Liu Ling?"
Qu Sheng's eyes were flustered for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"Ji Zhi, I do have this idea."
Pei Zhan laughed and said: "Okay, King Gu will order you to command the battle of Feilongpo. In any case, defeating Liu Ling, the king of Han, who is said to be invincible in a hundred battles, is a good thing that will leave a name in history. Since you have this ambition in your heart
, then the lonely king will help you. However, over at Feilongpo, the lonely king will give you at most five thousand cavalry."
Qu Sheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your support. Your Highness, please rest assured. Five thousand cavalry are enough to level Feilong Slope."
Pei Yan stretched out his fingers and raised them one by one, and said: "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, and do not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. These principles have been told to you countless times. If you want to defeat Liu Ling, put all the proud excitement in your heart
Let’s calm down for a while. The saying that a sad soldier must win is very reasonable. Similarly, a proud soldier must be defeated. The truth of this sentence is deeper and more true than that a sad soldier must win.”
Qu Sheng said: "I understand the humble position."
Pei Zhan nodded and said: "Send someone to Kaifeng and order Ye Wuji to temporarily take over the post of General of Kaifeng and let Li Tianfang come to see Gu!"
Qu Sheng was startled, and the first thing that came to his mind was, is His Highness going to attack Li Tianfang? However, Ye Wuji is also Li Tianfang's son. Although he is not Li Tianfang's direct descendant, the two people have always had a good relationship. If the prince wants to take down
Li Tianfang, why did he let Ye Wuji take over Kaifeng City Defense?
"Your Highness...Ye Wuji is appointed as the general who defends the city. It seems..."
Pei Zhan guessed what Qu Sheng was thinking from his confused eyes, and said with a smile: "Isn't it right?"
Qu Sheng thought for a while and said directly: "Li Tianfang's betrayal has been exposed. Keeping him will sooner or later become a disaster. But Your Highness, if Li Tianfang receives your order, I am afraid that he will not come and will not dare to come. Even if he comes,
Yes, Ye Wuji is also one of Li Tianfang’s men, so it’s not appropriate for him to be the general who defends the city.”
Pei Zhan laughed and said: "Qu Sheng, when the two armies are fighting, you are brave enough to kill rare opponents. But you are still not good at this trick. Li Tianfang will never come here to see the lonely king.
, I am afraid that Li Tianfang will immediately raise a rebel flag as soon as King Gu's order reaches Kaifeng. It was a helpless move to leave this person to defend the city in Kaifeng at the beginning. This person is not aggressive enough but he is more than successful in defense. He is not good at attacking cities and territories, but he can defend Kaifeng without any problems.
But there is no problem.”
"Since His Highness knew that Li Tianfang was going to rebel, why did he still issue this order?"
"Li Tianfang is suspicious by nature. Although Ye Wuji is his confidant, if the lonely king orders Ye Wuji to replace Li Tianfang as the general of Kaifeng city guard, guess what Li Tianfang will think?"
Qu Sheng thought about it carefully and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
His Highness King Zhou’s plan to alienate people is so cruel!
Pei Zhan said with a smile: "Ye Wuji is not a fool, and Li Tianfang is even less of a fool. It would be strange if the two of them could not see through such an obvious provocation by Gu Wang. The key is, even if the two of them see through, can they?
Can you have no grudges? The human heart is a very strange thing. Once an idea sprouts in a person's heart, it will soon grow into a towering tree. When the branches and leaves are lush enough to block the sunshine in the person's heart, in the dark
, is there anything else that can’t be done?”
Pei Zhan waved his hand and said: "You go down first. I will leave the defense of the camp to you. Although I know that the Han army will never take the initiative to attack now, it is inevitable that they will do some disgusting things. The two armies
We are only ten miles apart, but if you come and yell, you will not be able to sleep well. The generals under Liu Ling have learned this kind of thing thoroughly from Liu Ling, and they have used it shamelessly."
Qu Sheng responded and said: "As a humble servant, let the archers set up defenses and shoot back random arrows whenever someone comes."
Pei Zhan sighed in disappointment and said, "You don't understand what I mean."
He said faintly: "Although Liu Ling's little tricks on the battlefield are shameless, the effect is surprisingly good. You are reminding you to be careful because the lonely king, which shows that you are still not enterprising enough. Such small tricks, you are on guard against
Can you survive? Why...you only think about defense?"
Qu Sheng was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized: "I understand, I will arrange the cavalry in a moment, and I will harass the Han army camp tonight!"
Pei Zhan waved his hand, and Qu Sheng bowed and exited the tent. After Qu Sheng left, Pei Zhan, who had a confident smile before, gradually turned gloomy. He gently stroked the mastiff's hair, his eyes getting darker and darker.
It was getting colder and colder. In fact, he was not as relaxed as he showed in front of Qu Sheng. This time he went south and returned with an army of 150,000. Forty thousand Han troops were blocked at Feilongpo, and so was Li Tianfang in Kaifeng.
They are ready to make a move. Not more than a hundred miles east of Kaifeng, the men and horses leading the army guard on the left and right are watching eagerly. If anything goes wrong with the Ding'an army returning south, Yue Le and Mi Huang will pounce on them like hungry wolves and bite them.
Fan.
He acted so confident and relaxed before, just like using Qu Sheng to express a meaning to his generals. The situation was completely under his control, Pei Zhan. But, is this really the case?
Pei Zhan picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, but his mouth was filled with bitterness.
He sighed and murmured: "It's just a small way to stir up dissension, and there is no other way."
The sky has darkened, but the cicadas on the branches in the distance are still chirping impatiently. The clouds have blocked the moon, and it looks even darker under the shade of the trees. The invisible sky is so deep that it seems like it can drown people.
The sea cannot lift a single wave. In fact, in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the red sun and the bright moon have long ceased to shine in people's hearts. No matter day or night, the human heart is black. (To be continued)
