Chapter 412 How to write dead words
Up on the wall of the East Gate Cang in Luokou Cang, he looked down from a high point to the other side of the Shizi River. In the drizzle, there was a Wagang Army walking along the official road, with a number of about 3,000. When he looked at the nearby Wudi Army Camp, Chen Sangliang's nose was almost ruthless. At the moment of the enemy, the enemy was less than five miles away from the camp. The Wudi Army Camp was still in a mess. A large number of soldiers were clustered together and there was not knowing what it was. There were not many soldiers guarding the fence, and the defense of the camp was close to being lost. In a rage, Chen Sangliang rarely got angry at Liu Changgong and shouted: "What is Liu Changgong? Do you don't want a head?"
Chen Sangliang was furious on the west bank of the Shizi River, but Liu Changgong was in a state of turmoil on the east bank of the Shizi River. The reason was that he ordered to take over the camp in accordance with Chen Sangliang's request. The second-generation rich second-generation generals under his command not only refused to accept the order, but also asked Liu Changgong why he did not let them go out to meet the enemy and kill the enemy to make meritorious service? Liu Changgong explained that this was Chen Sangliang's request. These second-generation rich second-generation officials not only disobeyed, but actually surrounded Liu Changgong and forced Liu Changgong to ask Chen Sangliang for orders to fight. Many second-generation officials even encouraged Liu Changgong to fight against the orders and took them to fight with the Wagang thieves.
Finally, I saw Liu Changgong pulling out the knife in anger, shouting and threatening to be executed immediately if he didn't accept the order. This group of second-generation rich second-generation officials who were killed by the Wagang Army in history barely obeyed and took their servants and servants to guard the fortifications in the camp, but they still complained and complained. They were all extremely dissatisfied with Chen Sangliang and Liu Changgong's refusal to give them the chance to make achievements. (This army really existed in history, and the battle was over.)
By the way, let’s take a look at the situation on the Wagang Army. As Yuan Tiangang analyzed, the Wagang Army, which had all the robbery and supplies, did not have much food. He also heard that Li Mi had already taken over Li Yang Cang and the news was greatly boosted. Zhai Rang and the leaders of Wagang were naturally a little impatient. They imagined that they would lure Chen Sangliang to attack the city before, and rely on the natural danger of Hulaoguan to first consume part of Chen Sangliang's strength before defending and counterattacking. However, Chen Sangliang was not deceived at all. He stationed troops in Luokou Cang just to remain patient with the Wagang Army. He was not only patient with Chen Sangliang, who had the largest granary in the world. The Wagang Army was forced to change his strategy and take the initiative to go out of seclusion to launch an attack, looking for an opportunity to defeat Chen Sangliang.
The first attack was Shan Xiongxin, a general of Wagang. After arriving near the Sui army, he saw that the Sui army did not go out to fight, and Shan Xiongxin did not rush to order an attack. He just seized the time to observe the situation of the Sui army and found that the Sui army was divided into three branches, one stationed in Luokou Cang, the other established a camp south of Luokou Cang, and the third branch was the Sui army camp in front of him, which was only about five miles away, and it was a horn of each other, making it very convenient to rescue each other. In addition to the original two stone bridges, there were also ten new sturdy floating bridges, each bridge had a large number of soldiers guarding it, which was very easy to attack or retreat.
Seeing such an enemy situation, Shan Xiongxin frowned a little, knowing that if the Sui army refused to go out to fight, he would be hard to get the chance of fighting a battle today - because no matter which Sui army camp was attacked, Shan Xiongxin would be attacked by the Sui army in other camps, and would be in a dilemma of being attacked by the Sui army from both sides. In desperation, Shan Xiongxin had to order the troops outside the main gate of the Invincible Army camp, ride a horse and hold a spear, and personally go out to fight outside the Invincible Army camp, lure this invincible elite army that the Wagang army could not understand to fight. The Wagang army was indeed invincible to understand the Invincible Army camp, and its equipment was so good that it was jealous, but its military discipline and appearance were outrageous.
"Liu Changgong, if you have the courage to come out and fight me to the death, hide in the camp and be a turtle bastard. What kind of heroes are you? If you come out and fight me to the death, Liu Changgong, if you have the courage, come out and send me Shan Xiong's letter."
Hearing Shan Xiongxin's yelling and scolding, the second-generation generals under Liu Changgong were all furious and rushed to encourage Liu Changgong to fight. Unfortunately, the biggest advantage of our General Liu is that he is a little self-aware and knows that his army is unreliable, and he is determined to refuse to fight. Just to calm the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, Liu Changgong had to order the army to scold in the camp, asking Shan Xiongxin to attack the camp by himself if he had the courage. This would be very dangerous. Although the Invincible Army had a strong camp to defend, if Shan Xiongxin was scolded and launched an attack on the camp, our General Liu was not sure to defend the camp.
Fortunately, Shan Xiongxin is a rational and calm person. Without knowing the situation of the enemy, he was not angry with the scolding of the second-generation army and launched a rash attack. He also took the initiative to retreat to the queue amid the scolding and ridicule of the second-generation army and asked the left and right generals: "What should we do if the official army refuses to leave the camp?"
"Brother Shan, why don't we try to attack?" A general in Wagang suggested, but unfortunately this was flatly rejected by Shan Xiongxin. Other generals in Wagang also felt that this move was too risky and no one agreed.
"Brother, why don't you ask to see Chen Yingliang directly?" Brother-in-law Mulan suggested: "Chen Yingliang has always liked to show up in public. If you ask to see him, you might succeed. Then you will be angry with him with words and you can lure him into a fight."
After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin thought it was good, so he immediately sent a soldier to rush the white flag and shouted next to the bridge near Luokou Cang City, asking Chen Sangliang to come out and answer. Mulan, who had been in the process of returning to Wagang for half a year, couldn't help but be beating faster. She kept hoping that Chen Sangliang would agree and meet Shan Xiongxin on the other side of the Shizi River. At the same time, she also hoped that she could meet Chen Sangliang alone and say a few words alone, questioning in person why Chen Sangliang used her banner to deceive the innocent girl?
Mulan's expectations were finally vain. After the negotiator conveyed the request, the Sui army soldiers on the other side of the Shizi River quickly gave a reply, conveying Chen Sangliang's words: "What is your Shan Xiongxin? You are worthy of meeting my Dongdu left behind. If you want to answer, you call Zhai Rang. If you don't have time to pay attention to you today, you will attack our camp if you have the courage, and if you don't have the courage, you will get out of here."
Mulan was disappointed and was despised. Shan Xiongxin was also a little angry. He quickly assigned two hundred elite troops and sent them to attack a Shizihe floating bridge, trying to take down a bridge to lure the Sui army to fight. The rain and weather were not very effective. The soldiers of the Sui army could only defend the bridge and launched close combat with the Wagang army soldiers on the floating bridge. The battle was also very fierce. However, the Sui army camp still did not move, and let the Wagang army attack for a strong attack, but did not fight back, and just insisted on it.
Seeing this scene, Shan Xiongxin was of course extremely depressed. He knew it would be difficult to explain to Zhai Rang when he went back, but Chen Sangliang smiled on Luokoucang City and said, "The thief of Wagang is anxious. He wants to lead me to change the current confrontation situation, adjust the tactics to reveal flaws, and then take the opportunity to break me. Haha, I think so beautifully."
"Chen Liushou, you might as well take advantage of the situation." Wei Zheng next to him suggested: "Design a trap to lure the Wagang thieves out of seclusion to fight, fight a victory to boost morale, and reduce our future pressure to siege."
Chen Sangliang pinched his smooth chin without saying a word. Yuan Tiangang saw Chen Sangliang's thoughts and came to Chen Sangliang's ear and whispered: "Chen Liushou, show the enemy that he is weak and does not allow Zhai Rang to ask for help from Li Mi. This is of course important, but when it is time to be tough, we should be tougher and let Zhai Rang know that we are not easy to mess with. Don't forget that your father-in-law is a master who likes to take advantage of his own strength. With his temper, even if he arrives at the battlefield of Hulao Pass, he will definitely try every means to let us bear the main pressure. He hides behind him to take advantage of the advantage."
Yuan Tiangang's words reminded Chen Sangliang. Thinking of the intrigue between him and Wang Shichong during the Huai River fight against Du Fuwei, and the best temper he was trying to take advantage of, Chen Sangliang nodded and said, "It makes sense, but there is no need to worry. The thief of Wagang can no longer hold back. There will definitely be actions in the future. It will not be too late for me to take action if the opportunity appears."
Shan Xiongxin, who desperately lured Chen Sangliang to take action, failed in the end. Two hundred elite soldiers attacked a floating bridge. Although they once had the upper hand with their individual combat power and forced the Sui army to send a school group to reinforce the floating bridge, they were unable to take down the floating bridge in the end. At the same time, with the invincible army watching Dandan on the flank, Shan Xiongxin did not dare to put a large amount of troops into the floating bridge battle. After the attacking soldiers were killed by Sui reinforcements back to the east coast, Shan Xiongxin could only order the troops to withdraw, loudly mocking Chen Sangliang as timid as a mouse, and leading the army away in disappointment.
Now it was the second generation of the Invincible Army's turn to shout. Seeing the Wagang Army retreat, the generals of all sizes of Invincible Army rushed to Liu Changgong again and asked Liu Changgong to send troops to pursue him immediately. One of the Invincible Army generals who were close to Emperor Yang of Sui also opened the camp gate without authorization and called on the army to go out to pursue him. Liu Changgong was so scared that he kicked him over to the ground, closed the camp gate with his own hands, and then ordered the relative of Emperor Yang of Sui to drag down and beat the forty-six military sticks. Then, it was natural that Liu Changgong ran to Chen Sangliang to cry and wipe his tears, begging Chen Sangliang to change to another person to command the second generation of the second generation. Unfortunately, the one with the strongest family under Chen Sangliang was Liu Changgong. Chen Sangliang naturally rejected Liu Changgong's request again - if someone else was to betray these second generations of the second generation.
The Wagang Army was really anxious. After Shan Xiongxin returned to the pass, he reported to Zhai Rang about his battle. Zhai Rang cursed Chen Sangliang for being timid and afraid of the war. He was so worried that he criticized his beard. He slapped the table and said, "Chen Gouguan will not move his troops, and he will not retreat to Dongdu. He lives in Luokoucang and refuses to leave. If he continues to be in such a stalemate, how can we take Luokoucang? If we can't take Luokoucang, we will have enough food. Even if we keep controlling Hulao Pass, we will sooner or later lack food."
"Uncle, bypass Luokoucang and sneak attack Shangluocang." Zhai Mohou suggested: "Chen Yingliang's dog officer stationed in Luokoucang to compete with us head-on. The guards on Shangluocang must be loose. Just like the last time we sneak attacked Luokoucang, we will split an elite soldier and take a detour to sneak attack Shangluocang. We will definitely get..."
"Fart" Zhai Rang rudely interrupted his nephew's words and said angrily: "You think Chen Gouguan is Pei Renji? You are divided into troops and attacking by surprise under his nose. Are you tired of living? Are you looking for death?"
Zhai Mohou shut up obediently. Pei Renji, who happened to be at the scene, looked extremely embarrassed. Bing Yuanzhen quickly coughed a few times, reminded Zhai Rang to Shenyan, and then quickly squeezed out some smiles and said to Pei Renji: "Five kings, you are Chen Yingliang's relatives. You have just come from the government army and know the most about the situation of the government army. In your opinion, what should we do if we want to take down Luokou Cang?"
There is no way out. Although he is dissatisfied with Zhai Rang's contempt for him in his words, Pei Renji still tried his best to offer advice: "King Zhai, Military Advisor Bing, Chen Yingliang is indeed scheming and good at winning surprises, but his army has a fatal problem, which is that there are too many new recruits and too few elites, and the overall combat effectiveness is not as good as our Wangang Army in Wagang. If such an army is used to guard the city camp, it can compete with our Wagang elite. On the field battlefield, our Wagang Yishi Division will be much more sure of defeating them. So I think it is best to find a way to lure Chen Yingliang out of the protection of the camp Cangcheng, and fight us in the wild. Then we have hope of defeating Chen Yingliang and then seizing Luokou Cang."
After hearing Pei Renji's words, Bing Yuanzhen, Xu Shiyi and others nodded repeatedly, feeling that Pei Renji's words hit the nail on the head and pointed the direction for the self-army. Zhai Rang's fool's brother Zhai Hong said angrily: "It's useless to say that there is a way to lead Chen Gouguan out to fight the final battle. What are we asking you?"
Pei Renji's face was embarrassed again. Pei Xingyan's forehead was also bulging with blue veins behind him. Fortunately, there were still many rational people in the Wagang army. Deputy Military Advisor Jia Xiong immediately said: "Brother Zhai Hong, General Pei's words are right. We wanted to lead Chen Gouguan to attack the city before. Chen Gouguan was not deceived. It is also good to take the second best to lead Chen Gouguan out to fight the final battle. As for how to lead Chen Gouguan out to fight the final battle, I have an idea. I wonder if you have heard of Du Fuwei leading Chen Leng's decisive battle.
Most of the generals of the Wagang Army, who were local buns, looked at each other in a glance, but there were also knowledgeable ones. Pei Renji immediately introduced to everyone the story of Du Fuwei insulting Chen Ling with women's clothes on the Huainan battlefield and successfully seducing Chen Ling to the decisive battle. When Zhai Rang heard this, he immediately patted his thigh and said, "Good idea, just do it this way. Arrange someone to issue a letter of war to Chen Gouguan, and give him a set of nanny clothes to him, and inspire him to come out for a decisive battle."
"Yes, just like Du Fuwei, I will give Chen Gouguan a nickname." Zhai Hong also echoed excitedly: "Du Fuwei is called Chen Ling and Grandma Chen. I heard that Chen Yingliang Gouguan looks like a beautiful little girl. How about us Yu Qian call him Chen Yatou?"
Zhai Rang, Zhai Mohou, Wang Ruxin and others shouted loudly, all of whom felt that this plan was wonderful, but Pei Renji quickly shook his head and said, "King Zhai, doing this may be effective for Chen Ling, but it is definitely useless for Chen Yingliang. That kid is too cunning and has thicker skin than the city wall. He sends him women's clothes, and maybe he can put it on the spot for us to see. And doing this will make the kid understand immediately that we are in a hurry to fight him, and he will definitely refuse to fight."
Xu Shiyi and Bing Yuanzhen agreed with Pei Renji's opinion and said, "Brother Zhai, don't waste your energy. Doing this is useful for those brave and unscrupulous men. It is definitely not possible to deal with Chen Yingliang's dog official."
"It's okay to try it. Wouldn't it be fine if it's done?" Zhai Rang waved his hand and shouted, "That's it, Brother Bing, you write a letter of war for Chen Yingliang's dog official and ask him to fight to the decisive battle. Mohou, go prepare a set of beautiful women's clothes and send someone to Chen Gouguan."
Zhai Rang had a firm attitude, and Bing Yuanzhen had no choice but to let him do anything, and honestly picked up his pen and wrote a letter. Zhai Mohou also happily ran to prepare women's clothes, and even stripped off his concubine a set of clothes he had worn as a gift to Chen Sangliang. After everything was ready, Zhai Rang sent an envoy out of the city the next morning, and took the white flag to the basement of the Sui Army camp to write a letter to the battle.
When the news of the envoy of the Wagang Army issued a letter to the battle was conveyed to Chen Sangliang through personal soldiers, Chen Sangliang was reviewing the official documents of the Dongdu in Luokoucang City. When he heard that the envoy of the Wagang Army was coming, he heard that the envoy of the Wagang Army was coming to the letter to the battle, Chen Sangliang immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "There are really ghosts who are not afraid of death. You dare to send someone to contact me for a fight. Zhai Rang must not know how to write the word "death".
"Leave it behind, it's time to teach Zhai Rang how to write the word "death". Yuan Tiangang suggested: "Please use the trick, fight a victory first, boost our morale, and let Zhai Rang know your power. When Wang Shichong comes, Zhai Rang will only go to find trouble for Wang Shichong and dare not fight us again."
"Yes, let's win a small battle first. As long as Zhai Rang is not forced too hard, he will not go to Li Mi immediately." Chen Sangliang nodded, then made a quick calculation, and soon turned to Sangouzi, the captain next to him, and ordered: "Sangouzi, put on my armor, go to the tent to meet the thief envoy of Wagang, accept his letters, and then send him out. Oh, by the way, the thief in Wagang may play some tricks and lure me out of the camp to fight. You can accept all the tricks and report them to me when you come back.
"Let's stay, what do you mean? Why do you want Sangouzi to pretend to be your messenger of Wagang?" Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang asked in confusion. Sangouzi himself was also confused and did not understand why Chen Sangliang wanted to pretend to be him.
"Of course, it was to lead the Wagang thieves to sneak attack us." Chen Sangliang said with a smile: "My appearance is seen by many people on the Wagang thief. The envoys sent by the Wagang thief might have seen me. Even if I haven't seen them, I will immediately understand that I am fake when I go back to describe my appearance. In addition, I refused to meet with Shan Xiongxin yesterday and answered. The Wagang thief must think that I, the Dongdu, have quietly returned to Dongdu. Then, as long as the Wagang thief is a little normal, it will be time to sneak attack the camp tonight."
