After learning that most of Yuan's troops defending the front line had withdrawn, Tao Shang immediately summoned the generals to discuss the next step of action.
The deadlock has already begun. First, the pottery merchants' strategy of attacking the county across the sea, and then Guo Jia and others, after capturing Linzi City, came up with an extension plan. They also spread the news that Linzi City could be lost, and cooperated with
With "Lu Xiang's" order to mobilize troops, he deceived all the soldiers of Yuan's army back.
Tao Shang and Guo Jia have been partners for many years and have a great understanding of each other.
After thinking carefully, he understood Guo Jia's meaning.
He used a strategy to lure Yuan's army on the front line to attack Linzi City and clear the way for the pottery merchants, but at the same time he also put himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
Once those Yuan troops capture Linzi City, what awaits Guo Jia and Tai Shi Ci is disaster.
Guessing Guo Jia's intention, the pottery merchant couldn't help but smile and sigh.
They have all become guards, but they are still so unpromising in their work, and they play with fire if they are not careful.
Now that we can roughly guess Guo Jia's routine, the next step is to see how our own side cooperates with him.
After listening to the pottery merchant's brief explanation, all the generals present unanimously agreed to send out troops immediately. Following Yuan Jun, he and Guo Jia of Linzi City attacked from inside and outside to eliminate Yuan Jun's effective forces, completely control Beihai and Donglai, and cut off the land.
Take half of Qingzhou and use it to establish a foothold in Hebei.
Everyone's idea was similar to that of the pottery merchant, but one person raised an objection.
This person is Zhuge Liang.
"Teacher, my student has a method that may defeat Yuan's army faster and stabilize the two counties."
The potter knew his student very well. Zhuge Liang was usually silent, but when he spoke he was the essence. His suggestions were always very pertinent.
"Kong Ming, tell me what you think."
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said: "Yuan Jun is anxious to return to Linzi City. His intention is very urgent, and his offensive must be extremely strong. With Guo Gong's ability, if he dares to take this strategy, he must be confident and have a way to deal with it..."
The pottery merchant couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
This is really not certain.
You, Zhuge Liang, seek stability when doing things, but Guo is not that kind of person.
That guy is a pure gambler.
Zhuge Liang continued: "Even if we return to the army now, we may not be able to quickly defeat the Yuan army who is so angry. If we are not good, we may suffer heavy losses. We will not be able to solve the crisis of Guo Gong, but we will also have to bear unnecessary losses."
.”
The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Go on."
"As the saying goes, if you want to capture the thief first, capture the king. If you want to defeat these angry Yuan troops, there is no faster way than taking the head of their general..."
The potter nodded with satisfaction.
Zhuge Liang is indeed Zhuge Liang, and he hit the nail on the head.
The current leader of Yuan's army in Qingzhou is Er Lu. If he wants to dampen their fighting spirit and anger and completely defeat them with minimal losses, Er Lu's head is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
"Guo Gong amplified the news of the fall of Linzi City in order to lure the Yuan Army soldiers on the front line to retreat. But at the same time, he would definitely lure Er Lu, who was deceived by the Prime Minister to go to the north to intercept the Huns. Er Lu was unable to intercept the Huns, and he heard that
The fall of Linzi City, such a big event, they will definitely be in chaos. At that time, they will retreat without thinking carefully. And now the Yuan army that blocked our army's advance has returned to Linzi City. At that time, we only need to..."
Tao Shang said with a smile: "We only need to arrange our troops and horses on the way Er Lu returns to the army, intercept and kill them, and then take their heads to Linzi City to relieve the siege, and everything will be settled naturally."
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "Teacher is wise, that's exactly what happened."
The potter temporarily looked at Zhuge Liang swinging his feather fan, and he couldn't help but admire him greatly.
Zhuge Liang is really becoming more and more mature!
Not only is he the most intelligent and handsome man in the world, but he also has a delicate and elegant aura of Shi Shiran that is really refreshing and refined, especially when he is swinging his feather fan!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is peerless.
Moreover, in this refined and celestial spirit, there is also a hint of meanness that I learned from the pottery merchant.
Looking at all kinds of heroes throughout history, the only one who can compare with Zhuge Liang's temperament is Dongfang Bubai.
…
Just as Zhuge Liang expected, Erlu went to the north to kidnap the Xiongnu, hoping to make a great contribution, but nothing happened. He squatted in the north like a mallet for a long time, and finally returned helplessly.
Along the way, Lu Kuang gnashed his teeth angrily and swore to heaven that when he returned to Beihai County, he would cut Yu Fulo's body into thousands of pieces, cut him into pieces with a simple knife, and eat them with salt.
On the way back to Beihai, some scouts reported that the territory east of Linzi City, including Donglai County, was attacked by Jinling soldiers who appeared from nowhere. All of them were lost. Qiu Yu, the commander in charge of guarding Linzi City, was
Tai Shici, the general of the Jinling Army, was killed, and a large area of Qingzhou's land was lost, and Linzi City was in danger.
As soon as he heard the news, Er Lu's head was dizzy and he almost vomited blood and died!
What's going on?
Donglai County fell?
How did those Jinling soldiers get there?
Er Lu did not dare to delay any longer, and they had no time to deal with Yu Fuluo. The two of them hurriedly changed their itinerary and rushed to Linzi City like crazy.
All day and night, Er Lu kept urging the soldiers and horses to march, never stopping for a moment.
As a result, the marching speed was indeed accelerated, but Erlu and the soldiers under his command were very tired. They did not close their eyes all day and night. One can imagine the degree of fatigue.
Just as they were about to arrive at Linzi City, about a hundred miles away from Linzi City, Erlu finally ran into the encirclement of the pottery merchants.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
The area surrounded was the junction of a dense forest and a valley. Bursts of intensive drumming sounded from the dense forest, waking up the tired and sleepy Yuan Jun. Everyone hurriedly alerted and looked around in horror.
Countless Jinling soldiers rushed out from all directions, with Xu Huang, Qu Yi, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, Li Tong and others as pioneers, dividing Er Lu's troops into several sections.
Er Lu's soldiers and horses were exhausted, and now they were suddenly ambushed and had almost no power to fight back. Faced with the enemy's premeditated division, Yuan Jun could not come up with an effective way to hinder the Jinling army.
The Jinling Army was strong, and within a short period of time, they used square formations one after another as the center of the circle to attack the enemy with all their strength. In a short time, they killed Yuan's army in pieces.
The leaders, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, were running around in panic. The two of them were in a panic, but they still tried to find a chance of survival in the chaos and escape to heaven.
It's a pity that someone has already targeted the two of them.
Huang Zhong, who was holding a golden-backed sword, met the two of them head-on from a diagonal stab.
Huang Zhong still had a kind face and said with a smile: "Two generals Lu, I, Nanyang Huang Zhong, recently joined the Prime Minister as a general. He has received great favors but has never made any meritorious deeds. Today I would like to lend you something from the two generals and hand it over to you."
In front of the Prime Minister, I consider you to be close to me, so I ask you two to fulfill your promise."
Lu Xiang was a little frightened at this moment. Hearing this, he hurriedly said to Lu Kuang: "Brother, this old man asked us to borrow something. Do we want to borrow it?"
"Borrow me! You're stupid! What he wants is our brother's head!"
Huang Zhong laughed, raised his knife horizontally, and praised: "Smart!"
