Liu Zhang's troops came to the gate of Brazil City and set up camp at Wuli Pass. They planted flags everywhere. Fazheng looked at the walls of Brazil City from a distance and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, the city of Brazil is thick, and Pang Xi has many soldiers but does not dare to fight. Are we self-defeating?"
?”
The plan discussed by Liu Zhang and Fazheng was to exaggerate the total number of troops and increase the number of flags, but the shortcomings were so that Brazilian army spies could see their true strength. Pang Xi would definitely think that he was trying to cover up the truth about his weak strength, and waited.
Chengdu's army will be reinforced, so that the Brazilian army will be eager to go to war.
Now, for Liu Zhang, time was too tight. No one knew whether Wei Yan could capture Jiameng Pass or how long it could hold out under the attack of tens of thousands of troops. Liu Zhang was eager to fight a decisive battle with the Brazilian army, even if it was ten thousand against tens of thousands.
No matter what.
Unfortunately, he failed to lure the enemy. Instead, he asked Pang Xi to hang a no-war sign on the gate of Brazil. The walls of Brazil were high and thick, and there were no siege equipment. The march was too fast and they didn't even bring a carpenter with them. No matter how powerful the Dongzhou soldiers were, they could only look at the city and sigh.
.
"Did the Brazilian army not see clearly the reality of our army? They were afraid of the lord's reputation and did not dare to fight?" Zhang Ren guessed.
Liu Zhang shook his head slowly, and Fazheng pondered: "This is unlikely. The Brazilian Army has been fighting with the Hanzhong Army all year round, and it still has this ability. According to my analysis, Pang Xi is waiting for Zhang Lu. Pang Xi is cautious by nature and has never been
You have to wait until you are absolutely sure before you give it your all.
Back then, the former lord and Ma Teng jointly attacked Chang'an. If successful, they could support the emperor in Xijing. However, Pang Xi believed that the two thieves Li Guo were powerful and the plan was not guaranteed to succeed, so he stayed out of the matter.
Later, when he saw that the late lord was becoming more and more powerful in Shu, he spent money to redeem several young masters from entering Shu and became powerful. The reason why Pang Xi did not dare to act when Zhao Wei rebelled last time was because he could not take full measures. This time Pang Xi joined forces with Zhang
Lu, who thought he must take Xichuan, finally rebelled. Looking at his life, he was speculative, more cautious than courageous."
Liu Zhang sighed and said: "If I were Pang Xi, after getting Zhang Lu's reply, I would lead the army out of Brazil to attack Chengdu. Pang Xi's caution bought us time, but unfortunately now we have also tasted the pain of his caution.
Now, let’s think about it when we go back and see if there is any way to lure the Brazilian army out.”
In the evening, Liu Zhang sat in front of the commander's case, stroking his forehead and thinking deeply. He thought about all the tactics of luring the enemy through the ages, but he did not expect a strategy that could effectively lure out the Brazilian army. At this time, Fazheng walked in.
"Lord, I have thought of a strategy that may work."
"Speak quickly." Liu Zhang raised his head.
Fa Zhengdao: "General Wei's attack on Jiameng was a secret march. Brazil probably didn't know about it yet. We could march to Jiameng at night, but let the Brazilian detectives find out that Jiameng is the place where the Hanzhong army must pass when entering Xichuan. Pang Xi
When you get the news, you will definitely be moved."
Liu Zhang thought for a while, slowly shook his head and said: "Jiameng Pass is a key point for the Brazilian army. I have also thought about attacking from the east to the west, but you also know that Pang Xi is more than cautious. If we attack Brazil, he will probably confirm that we have reached Jiameng Pass.
, only then sent troops to intercept our retreat. No matter whether we capture Jiameng Pass or not, we will be flanked by the Brazilian Army and the Hanzhong Army. This is much safer than directly attacking our camp."
Fa Zhengdao: "What the lord said is indeed reasonable. Pang Xi is likely to act like this, but my strategy does not stop there. We can increase the bait to lure the enemy. What I mean is that the lord stays in the camp and does not attack.
The commander-in-chief of the lord showed up to inspect the barracks and was exposed to the Brazilian army sentries. With so few major generals in our camp and the lord among them, Pang Xi most likely couldn't bear it."
"Use me as bait?" Liu Zhang said in a serious voice.
Fazheng bowed hurriedly: "Please forgive me, my lord."
Liu Zhang waved his hand: "I think this strategy is very feasible. You can lead your army to hide yourself eleven miles away and leave me a thousand elite soldiers."
"Eleven miles?" Fazheng was stunned.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "We Chinese like round numbers. I estimate that Pang Xi's sentinels are only ten miles away. If you hide yourself eleven miles away, you are fifteen miles beyond the city of Brazil. Pang Xi must not be able to detect it."
"Is it too far? I think six miles is appropriate. Otherwise, if the Brazilian army attacks, the sentinels come back and forth, and they march, I'm afraid they won't be able to reinforce the camp for an hour." Fa Zheng was a little worried.
Liu Zhang stood up from the handsome case and sighed softly: "Now we in Xichuan are suffering from internal and external troubles and are struggling to survive. We are in the most difficult moment. How can there be so many times of safety? Every policy and every strategy is
It is executed on the tip of a knife, and being the lord is not exempt from it.
Do you want me to be like Pang Xi, who is very sure of everything before taking action? Then there is no need to attack Hanzhong. I can just wait for the princes to enter Xichuan and surrender directly... Okay, needless to say, go down and select troops.
"
After Fazheng left, Liu Zhang felt bored in the tent. He walked to the door of the tent and sighed. If this plan failed, the army would still be unable to do anything. If it succeeded, it would be extremely dangerous. One thousand versus tens of thousands. If the Brazilian cavalry charged out,
Maybe I can't even run away.
Life and death hung on a thread. Watching the soldiers coming and going outside, Liu Zhang suddenly felt deserted and wanted to find someone to talk to.
"Good general, this battle is dangerous. Are you willing to stay with me?" Liu Zhang asked the powerful man next to him. At this time, only this silly bald man could speak.
So awesome, he snorted: "You look down on people too much." So awesome, he still wasn't used to being called Lord Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I knew you would say that. When this war is over, I will let you return home in glorious clothes, and I will ensure that the troops will escort you back to the cave, and marry your sweetheart back in glory. How about that?"
"Really." Haojiao chuckled, but shook his head and said: "There is no need for guards. Our people don't like strangers. If the troops enter, they will be given poison, smoke and water. You just need to put those
Just give me the majestic token. By the way, if you can, you can ask Xiao Furong to follow me, I am short of a partner."
"A man's wife? A man's wife?"
"You Han people seem to call him the best man."
"But Xiao Furong is a woman?" Liu Zhang asked in surprise.
He touched his bald head with his big palm and said, "Oh, he is a woman." There seemed to be a puzzled expression on his face.
Liu Zhang sweated, thinking of Xiao Furong, and then he found the reason why he felt deserted. Although that woman was always causing trouble, always getting into trouble, her head was missing, and her mouth and hands could not stop.
As soon as I saw her, I wanted to hide away, but I was really not used to it when she was suddenly absent.
"Forget it, why are you thinking about this? Maybe you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Liu Zhang shook his head and was about to enter the camp. Suddenly Leng Bao came with a soldier. The soldier was wearing a Brazilian army uniform. Leng Bao bowed his head and said: "Lord, we found this guy in the mountains and forests. He is sneaky. Maybe he is."
A spy from the Brazilian Army."
"Kill him directly." Liu Zhang didn't care about the spies at this time.
After hearing Liu Zhang's words, the spy immediately said anxiously: "Excuse me, my lord, I am not a spy. I am delivering a message to Master Zhou Mu on behalf of others. Because the messenger specifically told me to deliver it to Master Zhou Mu personally, I did not dare to expose myself before."
identity."
"Yeah, this guy keeps saying he has a secret." Leng Bao interjected.
Liu Zhang took the letter, opened it and only glanced at it, then his eyes widened. It was a handwritten letter from Huang Yue. Huang Yue was actually in Brazil.;
