Huangfu Yunzhao looked around, then leaned forward and whispered: "Zhanghe County, northeast of Shunjincheng, has surrendered to Long Rui's army. There are three hundred guards in the city. Does Tu Sima know?"
"I know." Tu Sima nodded and said, "Why did Brother Huangfu mention Zhanghe County?"
Huangfu Yunzhao said: "Let me ask you, if the general sends a troop of troops to attack Zhanghe County, what will be the result?"
Tu Sima said: "If the general really wants to capture Zhanghe County and mobilizes heavy troops for a surprise attack, he should be able to defeat it soon."
"No, no, no, Tu Sima didn't understand what I meant." Huangfu Yunzhao said with a smile: "What I mean is that once Zhanghe County is attacked, should I send people to rescue?"
After all, Tu Sima was a marching Sima. He understood at this time and said: "Brother Huangfu means that Liaodong will send a troop of troops to attack Zhanghe County, and then you will dispatch the two thousand Long Rui troops to rescue?"
Huangfu Yunzhao nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. The number of troops attacking Zhanghe County cannot be too large, and there is no need to actually attack the county. You just need to bluff and let Shunjin get the news. As long as someone from Zhanghe County comes.
If you ask for help, I can dispatch Chen Zhitai to lead troops to rescue." He picked up the two teacups on the table and put them on the table, saying: "This is Shunjincheng, this???????????????
This is the seat of Zhanghe County, and the distance between the two cities is only over a hundred miles." He drew a circle on the table with his hand and said, "I remember that there is a dense forest here, and one must pass through this place when traveling from Shunjin to Zhanghe County.
"
Tu Sima's eyes lit up and he said: "If there is an ambush of a troop of soldiers and horses in this forest, and Chen Zhitai leads the troops past, they will be within the ambush range."
"That's right." Huangfu Yunzhao sneered: "Chen Zhitai is brave but has no plans. He is eager to do his best and rushes to save Zhanghe City. When he passes here, an ambush breaks out...!"
Tu Sima stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is indeed a generous gift. The general must be very happy to receive this generous gift."
"But if all these two thousand men and horses are transferred, no matter how stupid Chen Zhitai is, he will realize that something is wrong." Huangfu Yunzhao thought thoughtfully, and then said after a moment of thought: "We need to leave a part of Long Rui's army in the city."
Of course Tu Sima knew that if this plan succeeded, he would certainly have made a contribution as a liaison. He made a suggestion and said: "Brother Huangfu, what do you think of this? Of the two thousand Long Rui troops, you leave 500 people in the city and only let
Chen Zhitai led 1,500 people out of the city, and then sent a trusted general to lead 1,000 people to mix with Chen Zhitai's team. When they arrived at the ambush, the ambush troops and the 1,000 people joined forces inside and outside, and launched an attack on Chen Zhitai at the same time.
We will definitely kill Chen Zhitai and his soldiers."
"Snapped!"
Huangfu Yunzhao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a wonderful plan. Qin Xiaoshang has not provided me with military uniforms. The uniforms of Long Rui's army are different from those of my soldiers. Song Shixin is my trusted general and sent him to lead a thousand people to fight with Chen Zhitai.
, when the time came, he deliberately fell behind Chen Zhitai. When they arrived at the ambush, the ambush troops rushed out. Song Shixin led the troops to attack from behind and succeeded in one fell swoop." He clenched his fist and said: "There are five hundred soldiers and horses in the city, I can kill them overnight.
Almost exhausted."
Tu Sima smiled and said: "After the ambush and annihilation of Chen Zhitai's troops, we can directly follow General Song Lang to Shunjincheng and enter the city to strengthen the defense."
Huangfu Yunzhao said: "Tu Sima, this plan should be foolproof, but...!" At this point, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm just worried that the plan will not be realized."
"Why is this?"
"I'm just afraid that the general won't send troops."
"How can the general refuse such a generous gift?" Tu Sima smiled and said: "Brother Huangfu, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that someone in Liaodong will doubt your loyalty to the general and prevent the general from sending troops.
?" Huangfu Yunzhao sighed: "Whether it is a false surrender or not, in the eyes of many people, I am a surrender to the enemy, so naturally they cannot believe it." He shook his head and said helplessly: "In fact, how can Qin Xiao really trust me? He knows
I am from the Liaodong Army. To deal with the general, I am the sharpest knife. So handing Shunjincheng to me is nothing more than trying to win my heart as Sima said. He can really use it now.
Of course, I'm just a superficial person, but when I defeat the general one day, I'll be the cunning rabbit and the lackey. I'm a general, not his direct descendant, and he will never really trust me.
.”
"That's true." Tu Sima said seriously: "In the final analysis, Brother Huangfu's foundation is still in the Liaodong Army."
"Three generations of my Huangfu family have served the Liaodong Army. Do you mean to cut them off?" Huangfu Yunzhao said solemnly: "I just want to use this generous gift to make the general accept me again, but if I really want to do it, it is not
So easy." He stared at Tu Sima and said with emotion: "Sima and I have a personal relationship, and the general sent you here with good intentions. Regardless of whether you can return to the Liaodong Army or not, I am happy to see Sima again this time.
.”
Tu Sima pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The Tu family and the Huangfu family are family friends, so leave this matter to me. No matter what, I will convince the general to accept this generous gift. Brother Huangfu, I will do it tomorrow
Set off early in the morning and rush back to Liaodong day and night."
??????????????? Huangfu Yunzhao stood up, bowed and saluted: "If I can atone for my sins with my merits, Sima's kindness will be unforgettable in my life!"
In fact, the garrison strength of Shunjincheng cannot be said to be very weak.
When Gu Baiyi's troops approached the city, Huangfu Yunzhao had 4,000 Liaodong soldiers under his command, plus the 2,000 Shunjincheng garrison, the total number was 6,000.
Long Rui's army broke through the city, but there was no fierce fighting. The casualties on both sides were very small.
On the contrary, the two thousand elite cavalry under Dou Xiong's command were more than half lost after the bloody battle at Longba, but there were still more than a thousand wounded soldiers. These cavalry were also stationed in Shunjincheng and obeyed Huangfu Yunzhao's dispatch.
The two thousand Long Rui army led by Chen Zhitai also obeyed Qin Xiao's military orders and took orders from Huangfu Yunzhao.
Therefore, there are still nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the city.
Chen Zhitai's two thousand soldiers and horses were in the city as a reserve team. They were not deployed at the city gate, but were stationed at a camp in the east of the city.
For the second-in-command Chen Zhitai, he never thought that one day he would be able to become a general commanding two thousand troops.
When he was a bandit in the mountains, although he was the second in command, he could only really control a few dozen people. The real power in the mountains was not in his hands.
Although he has dreamed of becoming a general commanding thousands of armies countless times, he also knows that it is just a daydream.
But after following Qin Xiao out of seclusion, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to his dream.
Knowing that Qin Xiao had left two thousand soldiers and horses for him to command this time, the second master finally felt that his ancestral grave was filled with smoke.
Based on his own memory, he drew portraits of his parents who had passed away long ago, placed them in his house, and prayed twice a day to thank his ancestors for blessing him with a bright future.
He knew Qin Xiao's temper. If he did well, Qin Xiao would not treat him badly. But if he was incompetent, the general could make him start from scratch with just one word.
Therefore, during the days he was stationed in the city, he worked diligently and urged his subordinates to train hard every day. He himself was not idle, practicing his archery skills.
Since he wants to be a commander-in-chief, he must be better than others in riding, shooting, archery and killing people. Otherwise, if people's hearts are not convinced, his job as a commander-in-chief will be very difficult.
"Your Excellency, General Huangfu has convened a military meeting and told you to go to the governor's house immediately." A horse galloped up, conveyed the order to Chen Zhitai, and then left quickly. Chen Zhitai suddenly puffed up his chest.
For Chen Xiaowei, only lieutenant generals were eligible to participate in military meetings. Now when Huangfu Yunzhao convened a military meeting, he would send someone to invite him to attend, which made Chen Zhitai feel very honored.
When he arrived at the governor's mansion, most of the generals had already arrived, including Dou Xiong and Song Shixin.
Although Chen Zhitai felt honored to participate in the meeting, almost all of the generals present were from the Liaodong Army, and Chen Zhitai seemed like an outsider.
But he didn't take it seriously.
The master of the Long Rui Army is Qin Xiao, and he considers himself to be Qin Xiao's direct descendant. Therefore, although all the people in the room were once members of the Liaodong Army, Chen Zhitai did not feel embarrassed. Dashi sat down, and the generals did because
He was a direct descendant of Qin Xiao, and he was very polite to him, taking the initiative to salute him.
"Everyone is here." Huangfu Yunzhao glanced at everyone and said: "I just got the news that a Liaodong Army suddenly appeared in Zhanghe County and came to Zhanghe City. The Zhanghe County Magistrate sent someone to report the news
, requesting the dispatch of reinforcements.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall.
"They are definitely going to take advantage of the situation." Song Shixin clenched his fist and said, "General, how many troops did they send?"
"About seven or eight hundred people." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "Rescuing troops is like putting out a fire. Calling everyone here is to discuss sending troops." He swept through the crowd and deliberately ignored Chen Zhitai, saying: "Everyone, let's talk about it, what should we do?
What to do?”
Song Shixin stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, give the last general a thousand soldiers and horses, and the last general will definitely annihilate all the enemy troops."
"This is a great achievement." Huangfu Yunzhao glanced at Song Shixin with a vague look and said with a smile: "General Song Lang, if you can succeed in this battle and make great achievements, when the general knows about it, he will definitely reward you heavily.
.Since you took the initiative to ask for help, then...!" After a pause, he looked at Chen Zhitai and said, "Colonel Chen, what do you have in mind?"
Chen Zhitai heard that the enemy's army was less than a thousand men. This was a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He was already eager to try it. When Huangfu Yunzhao asked, he stood up and said, "General, you have been working very hard these days. General Song Lang also has many things to do.
If you don't let me lead people to kill them, I will definitely kill all those dogs."
He has been in the military for a long time, and he knows very well that if a soldier wants to be promoted, the only way is to achieve military exploits, otherwise it will be difficult to advance.
It's rare to find a soft persimmon who can make meritorious deeds, and he really doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
"Colonel Chen is willing to go?"
"I'll go." Chen Zhitai nodded and said, "But I only bring a thousand men and horses. Isn't that a little too little?"
Huangfu Yunzhao smiled and said: "In that case, how about Chen Xiaowei and Song Lang going to the rescue together? You will mobilize 1,500 people, and Song Lang will bring another 1,000 people, which is enough to kill those hundreds of people.
Not a scrap of armor is left.”
"Do I listen to him, or does he listen to me?" Chen Zhitai asked.
Song Shixin was a good general and his status was naturally higher than that of a school captain. However, Chen Zhitai claimed to be a direct descendant of Qin Xiao and did not think that Song Shixin had a higher status than himself.
Huangfu Yunzhao glanced at Song Shixin and said: "Colonel Chen is so brave that you will be the vanguard, and General Song Lang will be at the rear, at your disposal."
Song Shixin had no objection, he cupped his hands and said: "I will obey your orders!"
Chen Zhitai was happy in his heart. Since he was the commander-in-chief, after the victory, he would of course be the first to attack. He repeatedly said: "That's great, thank you, general." He said to Song Shixin: "General Song Lang, our brothers will go over and kill them.
