Eight hundred and forty-eighth chapter Xiaoyi interests
At night, when the dark clouds closed and the stars and moon dimmed, a cavalry force of 5,000 people appeared quietly in the northeast corner of Zhao Jun's camp. The dark cavalry group looked like a pack of wolves about to prey. At the front of the team, Tian Yue was wearing a heavy coat.
A, holding a seventy-pound green dragon halberd in his hand, looked coldly at the camp three miles away in the distance.
Tian Yue knew very well that unless the opponent had an ambush, most of his sneak attack tonight had been successful. At a distance of three miles, it only took the cavalry to reach the camp for a cup of tea. In such a short period of time, the opponent had no time at all.
make any reaction.
Tian Yue accepted the strategy of military adviser Wang You. In order to confuse the other party, he recruited 30,000 civilians to disguise themselves as Wei troops, and set up camp on the other side of the Yongji Canal. He also found a soldier who looked exactly like himself and pretended to be himself on the other side of the river.
He pointed and pointed, causing the other side to mistakenly think that the two armies were in a confrontation.
However, he personally led 30,000 troops across the Yongji Canal from the north, and ordered 25,000 troops to ambush in the north to cut off the enemy's retreat. He himself led 5,000 cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night.
Wang You did not let him take the risk himself, but Tian Yue refused to listen to the persuasion. He relied on his bravery and always liked to fight in person to boost morale.
The opponent's camp was still dark and there was no movement at all.
Tian Yue shouted loudly: "The battle is successful, attack!"
‘Woo——’
A low horn sounded, and five thousand cavalry suddenly launched into action. Horse hooves struck the ground, yellow dust rolled, the earth trembled, and muffled thunder resounded throughout the wilderness.
The 30,000 Zhao soldiers who were sleeping soundly woke up from their sleep. Many of them did not wake up and stood up in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, 'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!' The piercing alarm bells suddenly sounded, echoing over the camp. There were soldiers outside shouting in hysterical fear: "The enemy has stolen the camp! The enemy has stolen the camp!"
"
There was a sudden chaos in Li Wujun's camp. At this time, five thousand cavalry rushed into the camp from three directions like a flood. They killed everyone they met. For a while, heads rolled down and limbs flew everywhere, frightening Zhao Jun.
The soldiers turned around and ran for their lives.
Li Wujun was escorted out of the tent by dozens of soldiers. He saw fire in the distance, crying and running soldiers everywhere. He was shocked. How could this be possible? He deployed five troops on the west bank of Yongji Canal.
Thousands of soldiers are monitoring the enemy camp. Where do the enemy troops come from?
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly! It's too late." A general rushed over and shouted.
When Li Wujun saw that all the soldiers were running away in fear, he knew that the morale of the army was broken and it was impossible to organize resistance. He had to sigh and said, "Pass my order and the entire army withdraws to Jizhou!"
Without his military advisor Luo Sinan, Li Wujun was passive at every step. He did not expect that the enemy's main force was fake, nor did he expect that the enemy's main force was just cavalry, and that the enemy's main force was waiting for him in the north!
More than 20,000 soldiers discarded their helmets and armor and fled northward in the wilderness. When daybreak, several black lines appeared in the north. The main force of 25,000 Wei troops came out. They formed a cloth bag from three directions and surrounded
After catching the fleeing Zhao soldiers, Li Wujun's army had no choice but to surrender.
The Battle of Wei and Zhao took place in the spring of the second year of Yongzhen. After ten days of confrontation, Tian Yue led his army to successfully attack Li Wujun's camp. Li Wujun's army was completely defeated. Countless people were killed and surrendered. Thirty thousand troops went south.
, in the end, less than 5,000 people fled back to Jizhou under the leadership of Li Wujun.
At this time, Li Wujun's troops in Xindu were less than 15,000, and he had to defend Xindu. There was Tian Yue's army in Chenjing to the south and the Jin army to the west. Li Wujun had to send people to Youzhou to ask Zhu Tao for help.
.
Tian Yue led an army of 40,000 to Zaoqiang County in Jizhou. At this time, an envoy from Mingzhou came from outside the camp. It was Liu Qiang, the governor of Mingzhou. He was originally a marching Sima of the Jin army. After capturing Mingzhou
, he concurrently serves as the governor of Mingzhou and is fully responsible for the transportation of war preparation materials in Mingzhou.
Of course Tian Yue knew who Liu Qiang was, and he suddenly became suspicious. At this critical moment, what was Liu Qiang doing here?
Tian Yue thought for a moment and then ordered military advisor Wang You to meet Liu Qiang.
In the guest tent, Wang You politely asked Liu Qiang to sit down and asked the soldiers to serve tea.
"I wonder why Liu Changshi came here?" Wang You asked with a smile.
Liu Qiang took out a letter and handed it to Wang You and said with a smile: "I am a soft-spoken person. I don't think the King of Wei will take anything I say to heart. This is a letter written by my lord to the King of Wei. Sir, please forward it to His Highness the King of Wei!"
Wang You took the letter and said with a smile: "In that case, it has nothing to do with the two of us?"
"That's not the case. I just received information that Li Wujun has asked Zhu Tao and Li Na for help. Zhu Tao's 30,000 troops entered Raoyang, Shenzhou three days ago, and Li Na's 20,000 troops also entered Bohai County, Dizhou.
, Zhu Si stationed 80,000 troops in Baima, and transferred hundreds of large ships from the Huaihe River. This is no longer a matter for the Zhao and Wei families. I hope that Military Advisor Wang and His Highness the King of Wei will try to be cautious when making decisions."
Wang You was taken aback and asked anxiously: "When did Li Na's army enter Dizhou?"
Dizhou is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, the easternmost part of Hebei. It is Li Na's only territory on the north bank of the Yellow River. There has always been a tacit understanding between Tian Yue and Li Na on this matter. Tian Yue tacitly allowed Li Na to own a piece of land in Hebei, but the condition was that,
Li Na could not garrison troops in Dizhou.
That's why Wang You was so surprised when he learned that Li Na's 20,000 troops had entered Dizhou.
Liu Qiang said calmly: "The news about what happened two days ago is reliable."
Wang You thought for a moment and said, "What does Liu Changshi mean by this?"
Liu Qiang smiled slightly and said: "I just came to explain the current situation clearly. The decision has nothing to do with me. I wrote it clearly in my Lord's letter."
Wang You nodded, "Then please sit down for a moment, Liu Changshi, and I will report to King Wei."
Wang You quickly came to Tian Yue's tent. Tian Yue was waiting for him. When he saw him coming in, he quickly asked: "Why is he here?"
"In fact, my lord should be able to guess it."
Wang You handed Guo Song's letter to Tian Yue, "This is a personal letter from the King of Jin to the prince."
Tian Yue quickly took the letter and opened it. Guo Song's tone in the letter was very polite. First of all, he thanked him for his trust and withdrew his troops from Xiangzhou. Secondly, he hoped that the two companies could strengthen trade exchanges.
But in the second half of the letter, Guo Song entered the subject and told Tian Yue frankly that his real danger now was the Zhu brothers' attack from the north and the south. This was the purpose of Zhu Si's capture of Huaizhou, although now he can no longer do so.
Huaizhou went north, but he could still cross the Yellow River and go north at any time.
Once Li Wujun loses, Zhu Tao will definitely go south to capture Shenzhou and Jizhou. The Wei army will fight Zhu Tao in Jizhou. Zhu Si will definitely attack Weizhou from the south. The two Zhu Taos will attack from the north and the south. What is the chance of the Wei army's victory?
Tian Yue was covered in cold sweat. He handed the letter to Wang You, "Commander, please take a look!"
Wang You read the letter carefully and nodded, "Guo Song saw it very clearly. Combining the two Zhus into one and unifying the world has always been their highest strategy. Zhu Si's prince is Zhu Tao's son. How could Zhu Tao not
Conquering the world for his son? Now Guo and Song are focusing their energy on Hanzhong and seem to have no time to look eastward. The battle between Zhao and Wei gave the two Zhu an opportunity to unify Hebei."
"Are they making any movement now?"
"Yes! Just now Liu Qiang told me that Zhu Tao's 30,000 troops have occupied Raoyang, Shenzhou. Now Li Wujun has asked him for help, giving him an excuse to send troops. Zhu Si has already stationed 80,000 troops in Baima and transferred hundreds of large ships from the Huaihe River.
Once we have a fierce battle with Zhu Tao in Jizhou, Zhu Si will definitely go north to raid our base, and Li Na..."
"Li Na?"
Tian Yue was startled, "Li Na also came to join in the fun?"
Wang You nodded, "Liu Qiang said that Li Na's 20,000 troops have entered Dizhou."
Tian Yue sighed and said: "Military advisor, our intelligence is still too weak. Guo Song actually needs to tell us this important information?"
Wang You's old face heated up and he said with shame: "I will definitely strengthen my intelligence in my humble position so that this kind of thing will never happen again."
Tian Yue waved his hand, "We'll talk about this later. What does the military advisor think of Guo Song's intentions?"
"Actually, Guo Song's intention is very clear, that is, let us withdraw from Jizhou, not get involved in Li Wujun's territory, and concentrate on dealing with Li Na and Zhu Si. He will take over Li Wujun's territory, and he will deal with Zhu Tao.
"
Tian Yue sneered and said: "Guo Song thinks well, isn't he afraid that I will stab him from behind?"
"Your Majesty, he took Huaizhou last year just to prevent us from attacking from behind."
Tian Yue was speechless for a long time. He paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his hands. He stopped and looked at the tent roof and sighed: "I am unwilling to hand over the victory to Guo Song before my eyes!"
Wang You was very calm, and he said slowly: "Whether our troops withdraw from Jizhou depends on whether the prince believes that the two Zhu will attack us from the north and the south. If the prince does not believe it, then we continue to go north to attack Xindu, and we are likely to encounter Zhu.
Tao's army, on the contrary, if the prince believes it, he should immediately withdraw his troops, strengthen the defenses along the Yellow River, and at the same time urge Li Na to retreat."
"Does the military advisor believe it?" Tian Yue asked.
Wang You nodded, "I believe it!"
Tian Yue obeyed Wang Youyan. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to say to Wang You, "Sir, please tell Liu Qiang that I will withdraw my troops immediately!"
