Chapter five hundred and twenty first lead the snake out of the hole
Liu Pi made two moves, turned his horse around and ran towards the rear. When he passed by Mi Fang, he didn't even look at him and just flew by.
Mi Fang was also stunned. He had some confidence in Liu Pi just now, but now his confidence was shattered by Liu Pi's performance.
Everyone fled backward one after another.
Chang Hongfang was about to command his troops to pursue, but he heard a group of soldiers rushing out from the city gate behind him. The general at the head was none other than Gao Gan Chenliu.
"Fu Jun..." When Chang Hong saw Gao Gan come out in person, his ferocious aura immediately weakened by half.
The senior official glared at him fiercely, his usual scholarly elegance gone.
He hummed heavily and said, "Go back with me!"
When he was young, he entered the city, and Gao Gan immediately ordered a group of guards to capture the captain Chang Hong.
"Chang Hong! How dare you disobey my military order? If I don't kill you today, how can I convince the crowd? Push him left and right and behead him in public!"
Chang Hong was held down by the guards. Although his face was pale and embarrassed, there was no hint of mercy in his voice.
"The general has given this life to the great general and Mr. Gaofu a long time ago! Mr. Gaofu can take it away whenever he wants. The general will never be greedy for life, it's just a life! And the general has no regrets about today's incident!"
The senior officer heard this and said angrily: "Are you still reasonable? There are only a few people on the other side who dare to rush over and call for battle. Can't you see that they are trying to lure the enemy? Where did you hear the words I usually warn you?
!”
Chang Hong said loudly: "How can anyone in the world lure the enemy by sending more than a thousand soldiers to lure tens of thousands? Just like the enemy's soldiers, the general only needs to send five thousand to annihilate them! Moreover, Zhao Yun is indeed not worthy of his name.
It’s a sign of fraud and defeat! If the prince says this, the general will not accept it!”
At this time, he saw Liu Zhi, the general of the army, stepping out of the squad and saying, "Master Fu, what happened today is really weird. The general who faced off against Chang Duwei claimed to be Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun killed two of our soldiers last time."
When I was a prince, I had never seen him before, and he was definitely not the person he is today... Sending a general with little ability to pretend to be the general of another army would not ruin the general's reputation? There must be something else going on."
Gao Gan was stunned when he heard this and said: "What's the inside story?"
Liu Zhi cupped his hands and said: "No matter what the inside story is, when the pottery merchant left Kaiyang City of Langya Kingdom, the governor was too cautious and missed those great opportunities. Why is he still here to watch on the sidelines now? Could it be that we really have to wait until
After Tao Shang has wiped out all our friendly forces, will the Lord be willing to send troops?"
When he finished speaking, all the generals in Bingzhou stood up one after another and shouted: "Please send troops, please send troops! Please send troops, please send troops!"
"Master Fu, we can't delay it any longer!"
"Everyone else is making great achievements, but we are just wasting our time here!"
"If you don't send troops, the general will be willing to die with Captain Chang."
Gao Gan's face turned pale with anger.
Under Gao Gan, apart from the brave and capable generals of the Bingzhou Army, there were two masterminds. One was his younger brother Gao Rou, who was currently ordered to go to Hebei to urge for supplies.
The other name is Zhong Changtong, a contemporary celebrity who is well-read and good at policy rhetoric.
Logically speaking, Zhong Changtong was not part of the senior cadre's staff, but he had a close personal relationship with this young member of the noble family. Therefore, at the request of the senior cadre, he could only reluctantly accompany the army this time.
As a guest, Zhong Changtong stood up and tried to persuade me: "Please spare General Changhong's life, Mr. Gaofu, for your sake. I have some private things to say and want to talk to Mr. Fu alone."
Seeing that Zhong Changtong had spoken, the senior officials were too embarrassed to refute him directly, so they immediately punished Zhong Changtong by beating him with fifty military sticks, and then reprimanded the generals to retreat.
Only Gao Gan and Zhong Changtong were left in the hall.
"I wonder if you, sir, have anything to say to me alone?" the senior official asked.
Zhong Changtong said to Gao Gan: "Although I don't understand the military, I also know the direction of the current situation. Although the prince is the commander-in-chief of an army, he still needs to combine complexity, simplicity, broadness and fierceness in his work. The master of virtue, punishment and assistant are the masters. Captain Chang today today
Although the action of sending troops was inappropriate, it was also reasonable, and the general’s actions in the past were indeed a delay in fighting opportunities."
The senior officer sighed and said: "I also know that my action will delay important events, but in my opinion, the general is going south with overwhelming momentum and the army is overwhelming. I would rather have no success, but I cannot make any mistakes."
Zhong Changtong said: "The time is right and the situation is strong. If the general's advance goes smoothly, then the ruler's move is not inappropriate. But now that the east line of the Yellow River is not smooth, if the ruler insists on holding on, I'm afraid he will be cold."
The hearts of the three armies are like this, sincerity is not advisable."
After hearing this, Gao Gan was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "What you said makes sense, I will remember it."
Zhong Changtong continued: "I just heard what General Liu said. It seems that someone in the other army is pretending to be General Zhao Yun. Although I don't understand military skills, I also know the word bluff. The other army came to invite a battle with a small number of troops.
He also pretended to be a general. On the surface, he wanted to lure the princes into action, but in reality...could it be that he was just pretending to cover up the emptiness behind him?"
In one sentence, it reminded senior officials.
That's right... Just as we discussed with the generals just now, isn't it a bit ridiculous for the other party to use one thousand or two thousand soldiers to lure tens of thousands of them?
On the surface, he came to ask for a fight, but maybe deep down, the other party didn't want to fight at all.
Gao Gan closed his eyes, patted his forehead gently, and said, "If it weren't for sir, I would have almost missed something important."
…
Mi Fang and Liu Bi rushed back to Kaiyang City in panic.
This time, they did not dare to hide anything, so they could only tell the pottery everything exactly.
After hearing this, the pottery merchant did not answer, but looked at his two lucky generals with a smile.
The potter's fiery eyes made Mi Fang feel cold all over.
"Taifu, you won't kill us two, will you?" Mi Fang asked tremblingly.
The potter shook his head and said: "You have tried your best and you have done a good job. I am very happy. You two have worked hard. You have the right to go down and rest first. Let me think about the follow-up matters."
Mi Fang and Liu Pi finally put their hearts in their stomachs and left.
The pottery merchant immediately called Guo Jia over and told Guo Jia what had happened.
Hearing this, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Why did you send the two of them there? In fact, it was just a real defeat to cover up your true intention of luring the enemy. This is also a clever move. The more fake it is, the more likely it is.
The more you can attract high-ranking officials to come out."
Tao Shang sighed and said: "The man named Gao is just a turtle. If he is still unwilling to send troops after I have done this, then I really have no choice."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry, although the senior officials are careful in doing things, they are the commanders of the army after all. You have brought things to this point. If he doesn't go to war, let alone him, it will be him."
The generals of the Bingzhou Army under his command will also raise objections, so he will be tempted to send troops under pressure. However, the method of killing turtles since ancient times is to lure them with meat and then quickly behead them! If the senior officials really send troops,
We must hit him with one blow, otherwise, it will be even more difficult to get him out again."
The pottery merchant nodded in agreement: "I am confident that I will hit the target with one strike, but I really don't have the guts to lure him out."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "As Guo expected, after the battle between Mi Fang and Liu Pi, the senior officials will have some thoughts on sending troops, but they are not thorough yet... But he will definitely send troops out to investigate. I will teach you a way.
