Chapter 350: The candidate for fraudulent surrender
After Zhu Yuanzhang observed the enemy's situation, he immediately returned to the Chinese army's tent. He did not call more people, but asked Zhang Ximeng, Xu Da, and Zou Pusheng to come forward. Facing the map, the four of them sat around to discuss the military situation.
Xu Dajing first said: "The upper position, the iron rope and the boat, was originally a trick of the Yuan army, and Chen Youliang attacked it. At that time, the Chaohu navy broke into the Yangtze River and attacked with fire boats. This method was not too clever... I was just afraid that
Chen Jun will not kill anyone at the slightest sign of his neck."
As a warrior, Xu Da didn't need to give face to Zou Pusheng. What's more, what he told was the truth. Water battles and arson were common. Don't think that you, old Zou Tou, have made much contribution.
But Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "Xuda, the situation was different at that time. The Yuan army blocked the narrow Ruxukou with large ships. We only had to go down the river and set fire to the ships. Now Chen Youliang is at Hukou
Chen Bing, the river is wide, the building and the ship are in the middle, and there are continuous ships guarding outside, and they have many soldiers and horses, and have rich experience in water battles. The other fire ships cannot get close to Chen Jun. Moreover, if we can set fire, Chen Youliang will also use the wind to set fire.
, who can seize the opportunity and win the battle cannot be judged hastily, but must be carefully planned."
After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he turned to Zou Pusheng and said: "Old seniors, they are also setting fires, and there are differences between high and low. If you want to defeat Chen Youliang and achieve a complete victory this time, I'm afraid you have to blame the old seniors."
These few words made Zou Pusheng ponder slightly, and he also understood. It turned out that the idea of arson had been known for a long time, and it was an old wisdom that Zhang Ximeng had used. It was rare for someone to be so humble, and Zou Pusheng felt a little comforted.
The old man thought about it again and again, and then said: "As Prime Minister Zhang said, it is not easy to set off a big fire with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. The fire must rely on the wind to sweep across the river, and get twice the result with half the effort. It happened that I was observing the astronomical phenomena, and in
Within ten days, there will be a north wind. When the wind blows and the fire is set, we will surely win a great victory!"
North wind!
Isn't it the east wind?
Did you steal Prime Minister Cao's script?
I hope the ending will not be the same as that of Prime Minister Cao!
Zhang Ximeng's mind flashed. Although the Battle of Chibi in history is very famous, the details are not so rich. When Lao Luo wrote the Three Kingdoms, he borrowed a lot from the Battle of Poyang Lake, integrated it, and wrote a wonderful decisive battle.
Diverse, ups and downs.
In other words, the Battle of Chibi adapted the process of the Battle of Poyang Lake. Now that the Battle of Poyang Lake is about to be fought, can it be arranged according to the Battle of Red Cliff?
You use our tactics, and we borrow your novels... who is copying who?
Zhang Ximeng couldn't figure it out for a moment. Anyway, he wanted to bring Lao Luo up in front of him, squeeze this guy, let him use his brain more, and write the battle more beautifully.
In particular, we must pay close attention to coding, not be lazy, and be as diligent and reliable as a certain gray...
"Senior, even if you use the wind to break through Chen Jun's guard, I'm afraid it won't be that easy?"
Zou Pusheng nodded, "That's right... So we have to relax Chen Youliang's guard. Do you think we can send someone to pretend to surrender?"
Fake surrender!
Is there going to be a yellow cover card?
It really follows Lao Luo’s Red Cliff!
"Senior, Chen Youliang is suspicious, cunning and cunning by nature. I'm afraid he won't be fooled?"
Zou Pusheng nodded slightly, "Zhang Xiang is right, but I also have something to say...Chen Youliang is narrow-minded and will retaliate. Ding Pulang and Fu Youde surrendered, which made him resentful. Now, now that I have come here, I will be more understanding.
Make him furious. If someone is willing to take refuge at this time, Chen Youliang must be willing to believe it from the bottom of his heart, and it seems that it will be easy to succeed."
Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. Old Zhu also had a solemn look on his face. This was just to give him what he wanted and to prescribe the right medicine.
With Chen Youliang's temperament, he was absolutely unwilling to believe that Zhu Jiajun was monolithic. If that was the case, he would come up with a trick to fake surrender. Anyway, there was already a suitable candidate here, and he had even written a secret letter to Chen Jun, so it couldn't be more suitable.
Beifeng, fake surrender, two clever tricks in a row.
There is one most important thing left, which can even be said to be the key to the ultimate success or failure of arson.
"Lord, we still need to figure out the combat power of Chen Jun, find out the situation of their buildings and ships, how they will deal with an attack, how they will rescue a ship when it catches fire... what is the morale of the military, and whether the soldiers will
We will risk our lives to put out fires... Also, it is best to capture a few buildings and ships to see how fireproof they are. Knowing ourselves and our enemies, and knowing these things, we can design a way to set fires, whether to use gunpowder, kerosene, or firewood, and what is needed
How many ships should be prepared and how many waves of attacks should be carried out..."
Zhang Ximeng asked a dozen questions in a row, and Zou Pusheng on the side was slightly surprised. Even an old fox like him did not think about the matter so carefully.
When Xu Da heard this, he suddenly understood why Zhang Ximeng did not seem to be proficient in military affairs, but any famous general might not get an advantage when meeting him. This is the secret.
Zhang Ximeng has an almost pathological obsession with some things... For example, the size and weight of the shovel used to dig trenches, how much soil to dig each time, and how long to rest continuously. Zhang Ximeng will study this kind of thing repeatedly and finally formulate standards.
This was also Zhang Ximeng's daily life in the army before and after crossing the river. He personally formulated many details of regulations and laid a solid foundation for the Zhu Jiajun.
Like Xu Da, although he is a naturally handsome man, he cannot achieve the level of Zhang Ximeng and can only learn from it.
It was the grasp of details that allowed Zhang Ximeng to remain invincible. No matter how strong the general was, he could only do nothing when faced with an impeccable opponent.
Xu Da asked himself, he was afraid that he could not defeat Zhang Ximeng. Fortunately, Prime Minister Zhang was on his side, otherwise he would really not know who in the world belonged to him?
After some brainstorming discussions, Zou Pusheng went to rest, and the remaining specific issues were discussed by Zhu Jiajun himself.
"Tomorrow the fleet will be divided into twenty squads, led by generals respectively, carrying water warfare equipment, testing Chen Jun's details, and taking the opportunity to capture the building ship."
Xu Da stated his plan, and both Lao Zhu and Zhang Ximeng agreed.
"I'll leave it to you how to fight. Pick up this burden for us." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and patted Xu Da's shoulder hard.
Xu Da nodded vigorously and went down.
Now only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng are left. Lao Zhu suddenly laughed and said: "Sir, who do you think should be allowed to fake a surrender?"
Just as Zhang Ximeng was about to speak, Lao Zhu said: "It's better to stop talking. Let's write it on the palm of our hand and see if we are thinking of the same person."
Zhang Ximeng was startled. Do you want to go to this point?
He could only pick up the pen and write a word in the palm of his hand. When he compared it with Lao Zhu, as expected, it was the word "well"!
…
"I have seen the King of Han, and I am guilty."
Zhang Bixian bowed and saluted, his face full of annoyance. He didn't catch Zou Pusheng and let the old guy run away. Damn it!
Chen Youliang didn't blame him much. In fact, outsiders often said that Chen Youliang was mean, ungrateful, cruel and cunning, but he was still very kind and tolerant to a few of his close friends.
Zhang Dingbian quarreled with him, but Chen Youliang didn't blame him. Zhang Bixian did something wrong, and Chen Youliang wouldn't pursue it too much... After all, as the leader of a party, he still understands this. If even Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian were both If you can't tolerate it, wouldn't you really become a loner?
"The old man is so cunning that it is reasonable for you not to be able to catch him. But don't worry, he won't be able to escape this time. I will definitely let him die in the river with Zhu Yuanzhang!"
Zhang Bixian was shocked and said angrily: "The old man has taken refuge with the young monk?"
Chen Youliang chuckled, "Yes, he didn't find a hole to hide, but he dared to jump out and bring it to my mouth. He is really looking for death! No one else can blame him."
Zhang Bixian rolled his eyes and said: "The old man should have died a long time ago, but how did the King of Han know?"
Chen Youliang pondered for a moment, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Bixian.
"Look at it!"
Zhang Bixian opened it, and it was Kang Maocai who wrote the letter.
He told Chen Youliang everything about the situation in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, including Zou Pusheng's surrender.
After Zhang Bixian saw it, he was also overjoyed, "King of Han, so the king of Han knows every move of that little monk Zhu Chongba?"
"Well, I know everything including his arrangements this time, how many soldiers and horses, how much food and grass he has. Tell me, if you know yourself and the enemy, can we still lose?"
Zhang Bixian spoke for a long time and was elated, but soon Zhang Bixian hesitated again, "King Han, this Kang Maocai, will he deceive us? Can the news sent here be true?"
Chen Youliang smiled slightly, "Zhu Yuanzhang is very mean to his subordinates. As far as I know, Kang Maocai served as the envoy of the camp, which is equivalent to the commander. This time he was the quartermaster responsible for transporting grain and grass. His annual salary was only a mere two hundred shi. Food!"
Zhang Bi first heard this and couldn't help but shake his head, so little?
Even if you raise an eagle or a dog, you can't do that, right?
Chen Youliang ascended the throne of Han Dynasty, but he was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and three thousand bolts of silk and satin. What does it mean to be generous! Why is Lao Zhang willing to sacrifice his life for him? Isn't it just that he has been given enough!
Zhu Yuanzhang is so stingy, how can he get the loyalty of his subordinates?
"King Han, I think this little monk is from a humble background and is used to begging for food. He is really stingy. He can't achieve anything big!" Zhang Bixian curled his lips and said disdainfully. Of course he didn't know that a wealthy family raising a dog might eat The poor are ten thousand times better off than the poor. But dogs are dogs after all. Some are pampered, while others cannot afford to eat.
But here at Zhu Jiajun, we just strive to let every ordinary person live a good life without having to be slaves of cattle and horses, or livestock of hawks and dogs, that's all.
Chen Youliang smiled slightly and didn't say much. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not that simple, but Zhang Bixian thought so and there was no need to explain it clearly to him.
"There is another thing about Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates. The people he employs are all old people from Huaixi. Kang Maocai has a different background from those people. He is considered a fellow villager with us and has had contacts with us... He has been frustrated with Zhu Yuanzhang for such a long time. You are just a field envoy, so it is reasonable to want to find a good position."
Chen Youliang gritted his teeth again and said: "Ding Pulang and Fu Youde, these two things are nothing. Zhu Yuanzhang dares to fight with me if these two beasts surrender. He is asking for death! Kang Maocai is now in charge of food, wages and supplies. If he is willing to surrender, he will
Send these crucial things along the way. When the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang's army will be in a state of chaos, and we can decide the outcome in one battle!"
"No matter how much advantage Zhu Yuanzhang took in the past, as long as we win, he will be finished! Then we will capture Fu Youde, Ding Pulang, and Zou Pusheng, cut them into pieces, and throw them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish!"
Chen Youliang slapped the table hard, and anger came to his face. Although Chen Youliang said he didn't care, he was already furious in his heart. Whoever dares to betray him will not end well!
At this time, Kang Maocai was being escorted by several soldiers and pushed to the camp gate. The military judge sternly reprimanded, "Kang Maocai, the envoy of the camp, was unfavorable in transporting grain and grass, causing 800 shi of grain to become moldy. According to military law, the cane punishment is twenty, and it will be executed immediately."
!”
The soldiers raised the water and fire staff made of hardwood, tore Kang Maocai's clothes, pressed him on the bench, raised him high, and dropped him heavily!
Kang Maocai felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.
This board... plays really well!
The fame in this life depends on this one time, hit me, hit me hard! I can hold on!
