In five days, Zhang Liao led 60,000 Shu troops to fight back to Nanyang County at an extremely fast speed. However, after the army entered Biyang County, their speed made a 180-degree turn and plummeted, becoming like a turtle crawling.
In one day, we can't cover thirty miles.
Gao Lan couldn't praise this kind of speed. He was waiting for Zhang Liao to lead his army in Biyang County, but Zhang Liao led the Shu army on the way slowly, which made Gao Lan itchy with hatred, and Gao Lan soon wore off Gao Lan.
The patience to read.
In desperation, Gao Lan summoned his generals.
He sat upright at the top of the hall, with Gao Peng, Zhu Fu, and Li Quan standing below. Gao Lan said straight to the point: "You all know about the Shu army. Can you tell us your opinions?"
Gao Peng clasped his fists and said: "General, in my opinion, there are two reasons why Zhang Liao slowed down the Shu army. First, the Shu army retreated from Runan County to Nanyang County. They were traveling too fast and the soldiers were tired, so Zhang Liao
Hurry slowly and take the opportunity to rest and recuperate to restore the strength of the army; secondly, Zhang Liao is inquiring about our army and formulating countermeasures."
Zhu Fu nodded and said: "General, what Lao Gao said makes sense. It is better to send troops sooner rather than later. If you are late, things will change."
Li Quan said: "General, I would like to be the vanguard."
Gao Lan looked at the three generals asking for battle, frowned slightly, and murmured: "However, I feel that Zhang Liao seemed to be slowing down on purpose. There may be something wrong."
Gao Peng rolled his eyes and said loudly: "General, I have made it clear just now. Zhang Liao has two reasons to slow down his speed, that's why he is so slow. Now that he is about to fight Zhang Liao, he should take advantage of Zhang Liao's lack of understanding.
The situation is such that we will fight against Zhang Liao. If the general uses the prepared strategy and defeats Zhang Liao, he will become famous all over the world."
Speaking of becoming famous all over the world, Gao Lan's eyes suddenly lit up.
The serious cheek also showed a smile.
Gao Lan stood up in confusion and gave the order: "Gao Peng, Zhu Fu, and Li Quan obey the order and order you three to immediately gather an army and set off to approach the Shu army to fight Zhang Liao."
"promise!!"
The three of them apologized and left the hall happily.
If I had known this, I should have advised Gao Lan earlier, and maybe they would have captured Zhang Liao. The three of them left the county government, rode horses and rushed towards the military camp where the army was stationed, and summoned the soldiers to assemble. An hour later
, 80,000 Wei soldiers left Biyang County and headed towards Zhang Liao, who was located in the east of Biyang County.
…
One hundred and twenty miles away from the county seat of Biyang County, 60,000 Shu troops were stationed.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, a map of Biyang County hangs.
Next to the map, stood Zhang Liao and Pang Tong, and beyond that were Huang Xu, Yan Yan and Wenpin.
Zhang Liao led the army to approach Yangzhou, with the purpose of luring the snake out of its hole and leading the Wei army soldiers out of Ancheng. Gao Lan sent out troops, Zhang Liao led his army back to Nanyang County, and Pang Tong led the remaining soldiers to join Zhang Liao.
Pang Tong stared at the map, his eyes falling on Bishui.
Bi Shui is a river that runs through Biyang County and is the largest water source in the territory.
Pang Tong stretched out his hand and made a few gestures at the area where Bishui flowed, and said: "The 80,000 elite soldiers who captured Gao Lan this time depended on the Bishui river. It is summer now, and the river is swollen. A flood is enough to destroy
Lose 80,000 Wei troops."
Huang Xu said: "Military advisor, we want to attack with water, but it will be difficult to attack Gao Lan without passing through the water."
Pang Tong smiled and said confidently and calmly: "Everything depends on human effort. If you don't do it or plan, how do you know it won't work? Gao Lan came with 80,000 elites and was eager to fight. This is a good thing. This
In a battle, the initiative must be controlled in our hands, and we must lead Gao Lan to a predetermined position step by step, then strike hard and destroy him in one fell swoop."
Yan Yan clasped his fists and said: "Commander, please give the order. The last general is willing to be the vanguard."
Seeing that Pang Tong was confident, Yan Yan simply asked for a fight without asking about the specific arrangements.
Wenpin also said: "Military advisor, the last general is also invited to be the vanguard."
Huang Xu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You two, the military advisor hasn't said how to set a trap yet, so you two are rushing to be the vanguard. It's too hasty."
That tone seems to say I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?
"I am willing to listen to the military advisor's orders."
Yan Yan and Wenpin said at the same time. The old man and the young man looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Huang Xu had no choice but to clasp his fists and said: "Commander, please make arrangements directly. The general is willing to obey orders."
With a faint smile on his thin face, Pang Tong shouted in a deep voice: "Yan Yan, Huang Xu, Wenpin, please follow your orders!"
"The end is here!"
The three people straightened their chests, clasped their fists and shouted excitedly.
Pang Tong marked the position on the map a few times and said: "This is my plan for this battle... You must remember your respective positions clearly and not make mistakes. Huang Xu's task is the lightest, and he only needs to release the flood water.
Just take a boat to pursue them. Yan Yan and Wenpin's task is very heavy and difficult. There can be no mistakes. They must intercept the defeated soldiers led by Gao Lan and drive Gao Lan to the place where the water flows. Understand
?"
"The general will obey your orders!"
After receiving the order, the three of them turned and left.
Zhang Liao looked at Pang Tong and asked, "Military advisors Wen Pin and Yan Yan don't have many troops. Can they do it?"
Pang Tong said with a smile: "It depends on the general. This battle with Gao Lan must frighten the Wei army. The general leads the army to pursue, and the other two groups should be worry-free."
After Zhang Liao heard this, he said: "Okay, let's go up and prepare to attack the Wei army."
At that moment, Zhang Liao led the army and continued on their way.
…
One day later, the two armies met at the position planned by Pang Tong. Gao Lan stood in front of the military formation on horseback, and behind him stood three generals, Gao Peng, Zhu Fu and Li Quan, and 80,000 elite troops.
He looked at Zhang Liao opposite, laughed and said: "Zhang Liao, you led the army to attack Yangzhou, and you wanted me to lead the army to rescue, so you ambush halfway, but you didn't expect that I would surround Wei and rescue Zhao, which defeated your plan. Hey, you
For the safety of Nanyang, I have to come back. Your plan has been discovered by me, and the army will be defeated. Surrender immediately, and I will protect you and make you a marquis."
These words were spoken extremely freely, as if Gao Lan already had victory within his grasp.
Zhang Liao stared at Gao Lan and secretly cursed Gao Lan as a fool.
The military advisor's intention was to lure the snake out of the hole, just to lure the Wei army out, but it didn't necessarily have to be done on the way to Yangzhou. Especially now that the chess pieces had been laid out, Gao Lan was still complacent, which made people laugh.
Zhang Liao took a deep breath and yelled: "Gao Lan, Nanyang County is a place controlled by this general. If you lead your army deep into the area alone, you have committed a military taboo. Even if you see through the plot, so what? I will kill you like a chicken."
Butcher Dog, as for the 80,000 Wei troops behind you, in my eyes, they are just a bunch of broken bricks that will break into pieces at a touch. It will be easy to defeat you."
After Gao Lan heard this, his face immediately darkened.
Immediately, the expression on his face turned cloudy again.
Gao Lan's purpose was to fake defeat and ambush Zhang Liao. Now that Zhang Liao was so cooperative, Gao Lan was playing into Gao Lan's hands. He looked at the three generals behind him and asked: "Whoever challenges Zhang Liao will only be allowed to lose, not win."
Gao Peng, Zhu Fu and Li Quan looked at each other and were unwilling to come forward.
Gao Lan's face darkened and he shouted: "Aren't you even willing? Humph, Li Quan, I think you can do it, so go ahead."
Li Quan was the strongest of the three, tall and thick, fierce and brave, and was Gao Lan's general. After receiving Gao Lan's order, he secretly complained in his heart, but did not dare to refute. In desperation, Li Quan held up his sword.
He rushed out. As the horse galloped, Li Quan pointed his sword at Zhang Liao and shouted: "Zhang Liao, General Li Quan is here, do you dare to fight?"
Pang Tong stood next to Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "General, the opportunity has come. Kill Li Quan to scare the Wei army."
Zhang Liao nodded slightly and went out with a nine-foot-long sword.
"Da da!!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, clear and exciting. As Zhang Liao accelerated his horse, the speed of the horse became faster and faster, and the frequency of the sound of horse hoofbeats became more and more urgent. When he was running at his fastest, he saw a figure passing by in the air. Li
Everyone saw Zhang Liao's figure and looked solemn, knowing that Zhang Liao would not be easy to deal with.
"kill!"
Li Quan gave a fierce shout, raised his sword and faced him.
Zhang Liao snorted and struck down with his sword.
The two long knives collided together, making a loud clang sound.
Li Quan sat on the horse, his hands trembling, and a look of horror in his eyes. Even though Li Quan was taller and thicker, his body was stronger than Zhang Liao, but compared to each other, Zhang Liao's strength was much stronger than Li Quan. In Li Quan's heart
He slandered Gao Lan and secretly scolded Gao Lan for his nonsense. He was no match for Zhang Liao, so he had to fake defeat. Wasn't this courting death?
Li Quan's arms were numb and his face was bitter, but Zhang Liao was in high spirits.
"Buzz!!"
He raised the long knife, rotated it in the air, pointed the blade at Li Quan, and struck down again.
Li Quan knew he was outmatched, so he stopped fighting Zhang Liao and hurriedly rode back. His martial arts were not on the same level as Zhang Liao's, and they were even in the same heaven and on the same earth as Zhang Liao.
Li Quan even thought in his heart that this was considered a fraud, but he was really running away.
The sword flashed and the blade struck the armor on Li Quan's right shoulder.
After all, Li Quan was still a step too slow.
The blade broke through the armor on Li Quan's right shoulder, quickly split the bones, cut directly under Li Quan's right shoulder, and finally came out from the ribs on the left side. This knife split Li Quan into two halves, two parts of his body.
They fell off the horse one after another, and their red internal organs were sprinkled with blood on the ground, quickly forming a pool of blood.
Wei Jun suddenly became silent.
Gao Lan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so powerful.
All the Wei soldiers were shocked by Zhang Liao's bloody and domineering sword, and remained silent for a long time.
Especially the two generals Zhu Fu and Gao Peng kept reaching out to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads. Their backs were already soaked, and they felt cold in their hearts. If it were them who were fighting in battle, the bodies fell on the ground.
It was their bodies. Thinking about being split into two pieces by Zhang Liao, the two of them felt frightened.
