Chapter 30: The best of both worlds
Bing Chuhuan Fu and Di Shiqi as expected, Wei Bao and Xiang Tuo were suspicious when they saw the plan of Qi Wei. Gongwei said that the city of Daliang was strong and if they attacked strongly, the loss would definitely not be worse than taking advantage of Yang Xiong's opportunity to help and lure the Daliang defenders out of the city. The specific method was to let the Wei army pretend to be afraid of being attacked by inside and outside, withdraw the troops from Daliang to fight Yang Xiong, and then create a stalemate of war, luring the defenders in the city out of the city to attack the Wei army, and then the Gongwei who was ambushing outside the city would attack him head-on. After defeating these defenders, Daliang City was naturally at your fingertips.
The plan is a good plan, but Wei Bao was afraid that Gongwei was playing with him again, so he asked him to fight hard with Yang Xiong, and then he would get the advantage, so he looked at Xiang Ru without saying it, hoping that he could make an idea. Xiang Yi was better at using troops than Wei Bao, and he saw more things than Wei Bao. If he did not consider the differences between the two sides, Gongwei's idea was indeed the best strategy. The Wei army was clear, and the defenders would be relieved only when they saw them retreat with their own eyes, while Gongwei was secret, and the defenders in Daliang City would not guard against it. Only when they were ambushed outside the city could they be sure to hit it.
In addition, in terms of the distance between the two sides, the Wei army went to fight Yang Xiong and the Gongwei rushed from Chenliu to Daliang. The journey was similar, which ensured that both sides had enough physical strength to invest in the battle. Xiang Yi thought that if he changed his position as Gongwei, the solution he came up with would not be better than this.
The question is, is Gongwei trustworthy? Out of the subtle mentality of not believing that Gongwei can come up with such a good plan in a moment, Xiang Lun, like Wei Bao, believed that Gongwei was trying to get a bargain, rather than really wanting to take the lead.
Paizhi, Huang Xin, Wu Man and Uncle Zhou were surprised to see that they looked at each other and did not speak. Uncle Zhou took the hand and stared at the bamboo slips, and he also understood the thoughts of Wei Bao and Xiang Ji.
"Everyone, what do you think?" Wei Baofei glanced at Uncle Zhou and said with a dry throat.
"I think it seems to be something" is inappropriate." He patted his lips and licked his lips and said tentatively.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Ji asked in response.
"Our army has been sieging the city for several months, and its morale has been depressed. It's time to rush to fight Yang Xiong's army again. I'm afraid." Paizhi said hesitantly for a long time. Although his words were vague, it showed that Xiang Ru and Wei Bao wanted to say but were hard to say: they were afraid that they would be fooled by Gongwei. His words even worsened the worries of Wei Bao and Xiang Ru. The two nodded repeatedly. Huang Xin and Wu Man met, and they also agreed. A few people said, "One of this, I immediately said that Gongwei's trick to defeat the enemy was a conspiracy to get advantage of the Wei army. Paizhi finally suggested: "How about this, please go to fight Yang Xiong, and our army ambush the Daliang defenders?"
Uncle Zhou could no longer hold it back, and stood up and pointed at Paozhi and said angrily: "General Pao. Our army is tired. Is Yang Xiong's army not tired after coming from afar? Let Gong Junhou come over from Chenliu and fight Yang Xiong again. Wouldn't he be tired? If Junhou is defeated, why should the defenders in the city go out of the city? When Yang Xiong arrives at the city, we are attacked from both sides, so how can we capture Daliang?"
He certainly understood this principle. He just followed Wei Bao and Xiang Ru's meaning, but he didn't expect Uncle Zhou to be so direct and could not get out of the stage. Wei Bao snorted unhappy and shouted to Uncle Zhou angrily: "General Zhou, discussing military affairs, everyone has expressed their opinions, why should we be so excited? Not to mention that General Pei is right, even if he has something wrong, he is your Shangguan, you can't be so rude. Have you been with the soldiers for a long time and have forgotten all the etiquette?"
Uncle Zhou was angry. He turned around and looked at Wei Bao, pressed his anger and bowed, saying, "Master, I am not a ruthless person."
"Forget it." Wei Bao waved his hand, not willing to say anything to him anymore. As soon as he saw him, he remembered the hateful Gongwei's smile and the greed hidden in the car's face, which made the evil fire in his heart go out.
Uncle Zhou did not return the table, but bowed to Wei Bao again and said earnestly: "King, Yang Xiong's army will soon be able to reach the city. Junhou's plan is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. If we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult for us to take down Daliang again." Seeing Wei Bao's ignorance, he had to turn to Xiang Zheng again: "Chengxiang, if Junhou goes to block Yang Xiong's army, his figure will be exposed, and Daliang's defenders will not leave the city. How can our army ambush them?"
Xiang Ru also thought of this problem. He rubbed his hands for a long time without saying anything. If the Gongwei was asked to fight Yang Xiong, not to mention whether he was willing or not, even if he was willing, when he was against Yang Xiong, the defenders of Daliang would definitely be wary of the Wei army ambushing beside him and would not leave the city at all. The most critical trick in this strategy would lose its effect. Even if Yang Xiong could be repelled, Daliang would still not be able to take it down and he would still have to attack.
He blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, looked at Wei Bao who was angry, and then looked at Uncle Zhou who was anxious. He suddenly had an idea and laughed: "You have it. King, generals, I have thought of a good idea."
"Please talk to you," everyone turned their eyes to Xiang Ru. Xiang Yi pursed his lips proudly, paused for a moment before saying, "I am worried that Guo Daliang defenders would not leave the city if they were not crying out for the grief of Erxiong. And the long-distance attack of Gongjunhou will also affect their combat power, and I am afraid that they may not be Yang Xiong's opponent. I think this is the case. General Zhou led a part of our troops as the main force of our army to assist Gongjunhou in fighting with Yang Xiong, and attract the attention of the defenders in the city. Wouldn't this be a two-way match?"
When everyone heard this, they realized that even Uncle Zhou could not say that this idea was bad. Wei Bao was happy and patted Xiang Ji's shoulder and laughed: "Chengxiang is worthy of being a young hero Wu Xinjun valued. This is a good plan, this plan is good."
"King, are you willing to be the Lord of the Communist Party?" Paizhi said with some concern while being happy.
Wei Bao was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiang Ji. Xiang Tuo said with confidence: "Don't worry, I'll go to compile a book. As long as he sees him, he will definitely go to fight Yang Xiong quickly." He said to Wei Bao again: "King, please allocate the flags of 30,000 people to General Zhou, so that he can fight Yang Xiong with the Gongjunhou."
Wei Bao nodded repeatedly and arranged immediately.
When Gongwei was less than a hundred miles away from Daliang, he saw Uncle Zhou and the 5,000 troops he brought, and a large number of Wei army flags. Looking at Uncle Zhou who was a little ashamed, Gongwei smiled cheerfully: "The King of Wei is so polite, why do you need 5,000 troops? As long as Uncle Zhou arrives here, I will be satisfied."
Uncle Zhou was very grateful. Only when he was by the side of Gongwei, he could feel this appreciation. He glanced at Xiang Ji's letter in Gongwei's hand and said with some concern: "June, don't you look at Xiang Chengxiang's letter?"
"What's the good thing?" Gongwei took apart and glanced at him, and handed him to him and put him away: "It's true, it's dizzy."
Thinking of Xiang Tuo's sensuality, he always had three-point reserved words. Although Uncle Zhou didn't see the content, he could probably think of what he would write, and he couldn't help but smile.
Gongwei immediately led his army to avoid Daliang City, cross the gulf, and speeded westward. Thirty miles west of Daliang, after receiving the news that Xiang Ji said that the Wei army had left Daliang City, he slowed down, pretended to be the main force of more than 20,000 Wei army, and walked westward. He met Yang Xiong's army in Bolangsha, west of Quyu County, and the two armies confronted each other.
Bolangsha is a narrow long sand area between Honggou and Putianze. Honggou and Putianze were originally connected together, but later the water level became shallower and the middle area was exposed, which was called Bolangsha. Qin Shihuang unified the world and built a road here. He passed by here when he traveled east. Zhang Liang and Wang Xiang failed to ambush Qin Shihuang, but this place was in this place. Although Gutianze shrinks every year, the water surface is still wide. At first glance, the water waves are vast, and there are lush reeds growing on the shore made of yellow sand. It is just early winter, and the reeds are yellow, just used as firewood.
Gongwei set up camp on the north bank of Putianze, and he had veterans in the army like Zhou Shu and Huan Xie. Zhou Ben, Ban Xuan and others cooperated, and he didn't have to worry about the miscellaneous tasks at all. After dinner, Gongwei, Huan Fu, Zhou Shu and others went out of the camp and caught fish beside Putianze. Tian Jinjiang and Yu Qi took people to watch the surroundings.
Huanfu held the fishing rod, but his heart was not on fishing. He felt that the Qing lord around him was very mysterious. You say he was a famous general, but he did not share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers like those famous generals in history. Whether it was Bai Qi or Wang Jian, they all ate and lived with the soldiers when they led their troops, and never made special contributions. But the Gongwei was not like that. Although he was very kind to the soldiers, he kept a distance. He even brought his wife and girls by his side, and had a special female guard to serve him. You say he was greedy for enjoyment. He was not stingy. He did not leave any of the money he received from the King of Han, and gave all of them to the soldiers. He never saved a fifth sister's money every month, and he did not allow his soldiers to deduct a single money from the soldiers. Once he found out, he would not forgive him.
What made Huan Fu even more incredible was that Yang Xiong brought 10,000 Qin troops and was twenty miles away, and he actually had the leisure to go out to fish. Huan Fu didn't know if he was confident or careless.
"Elder General" Gong Wei hugged his hands, looked at Yu Fu, who was still moving on the water with bright eyes, and suddenly said, "What do you think Yang Xiong is thinking now?"
Huan Fu was in a daze, but he didn't react for a moment, and looked at Gongwei with some embarrassment. Gongwei asked again. Huan Yan thought for a while and smiled: "I think he should be considering how to test Junhou's strength tomorrow, and then send a scout to Daliang City to inquire about the situation."
"This person is very cautious." Gongwei sighed softly. He was silent for a while, and then said with some concern: "I have a camp of more than 20,000 people here. Will he not dare to come and go back directly?"
