Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 61
Sitting on the ground on the gentle hillside, Wang Ping asked the rebel Du Bo Shi Xin beside him, "Have the defeated troops from Yangjia County been released?"

"General, more than ten defeated soldiers have all been sent back to Huang Yuan's army." Shi Xin replied with cupped hands.

"Why did the general send more than ten defeated soldiers back to Huang Yuan's army?" Shi Xin asked with a puzzled face.

"It's just a scheming plan. Huang Yuan is the rebel army who must advance. Otherwise, we will be defeated under the siege of our army. This is the reason why Huang Yuan sent troops to Chengdu. In order to win quickly."

"So I ordered Zheng Chuo not to fight Huang Yuan, and Huang Yuan could not attack Linqiong for a long time. Under the attack of our Han army, Huang Yuan's army is short of soldiers and food at this time. If there is no progress for several days, the army's morale will definitely be shaken. If at this time When we put the defeated soldiers back into the camp, their morale will be in chaos, I think Huang Yuan is terrified at this moment, for fear that the soldiers in the camp will trade his head for wealth." Wang Ping explained, pulling his horsewhip
"Fortunately, I didn't fight stubbornly in Yangjia, but followed the general, but I felt that the general's battle was completely different from other generals. If I had 4 cavalry, I would be afraid of it. I just went out. The general's set is good. But it feels too troublesome, and I can't think of it myself. When Shi Xin heard this, he was immediately impressed and thought to himself.

Naturally, Wang Ping didn't know Shi Xin's thoughts. At this time, Wang Ping had a deeper understanding of Sun Tzu's art of war. At that time, he read that "a soldier who surrenders without fighting is a good man." 'Wang Ping felt that what Sun Tzu said was hard to come true, since there is no need to use swords when fighting.

But as he subdued Yang Jia and disturbed Huang Yuan's army, he slowly began to have a deeper understanding of what Sun Tzu said.

How to defeat others without fighting?
Heart attack too!
How to attack?

With our army's behavior, disturbing the enemy's army's morale, it's like being besieged on all sides!

Wang Ping stood up, pressed his sword and said boldly to Shi Xin: "The breaking of Huang Yuan is only a few days away. Wait for now, there is no rush!"
-
At noon, outside Linqiong city, the rebel army camp.

Although it was noon and the weather was a little hot, Huang Yuan was sweating profusely, stood up tremblingly and continued to ask: "Say it again later."

The rout soldiers didn't know the situation, thought it was Huang Yuan who didn't hear clearly and continued to repeat: "The Han army has captured Yang Jia."

Huang Yuan was so angry that he drew his sword and cut off the corner of the case, and said angrily: "Yangjia County has more than a thousand soldiers, why don't you send an order to report if you can't stand it?"

The defeated soldiers stammered: "The Han army is cunning. The head hung on the flag is the general's head, and there are too many cavalry outside the city to break through. General Huang planned to prepare a feast to surround and kill the Han generals, but because the other generals in the city surrendered to the Han generals, they were killed." Han will fight back."

Huang Yuan glared at the rout soldiers and said, "Then you wait, how did you escape? You must be a spy of the Han army. You must be pulled out and beheaded." The guards went up and dragged the rout soldiers down.

The broken soldiers offended somewhere and shouted: "Your Majesty, I was wronged, I am not a spy, I am loyal!"

Huang Yuan roared angrily: "Gag him up." Everyone in the tent was silent and dared not speak.

Huang Yuan looked at the generals in the tent and said with a sneer, "Do you want to learn from the rebel generals in Yangjia City to secretly inform the Han army and use my head in exchange for wealth?"

Everyone in the tent hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, saying that they didn't dare, Huang Yuan saw that everyone was respectful, sneered again and again, and waved his sleeves out.

Indeed, just as Huang Yuan thought, everyone was ready to find a way out. Yangjia County was lost and had already lost their way back. Before, they wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Chengdu to capture it, but now they still have such thoughts.

Huang Yuan originally planned to attack Linqiong with all his strength today, but when he woke up in the morning, he learned that his confidant Huang Xing died in the camp, and at noon he learned that Yangjia County was lost;

The confidant outside the tent came in crying, Huang Yuan didn't blame him and asked drunkenly, "Why are you crying?"

The confidant cried bitterly: "I am attending the general's funeral. I am afraid that if I don't cry now, after the general dies, I will not be able to cry for the general."

Huang Yuan heard the shock of going to the funeral, and he was sober and angry when he was drunk, he said: "I'm not dead yet, so I will cry for my funeral. You make it clear, or I will chop you up!"

The confidant said with red eyes: "Now Yangjia has fallen, but our army in Linqiong can't take it down, and the reinforcements of the Han army don't fight with us. This is obviously the enemy general who is going to trap our army to death; at present, our army's morale is in turmoil, but the general Sit back and watch, drink and have fun in the tent. Under domestic and foreign difficulties, isn’t the general waiting to die? I’m afraid I will die first, so I must cry for the general now.”

Huang Yuan burst into tears when he heard that, he threw the wine glass on the ground and said, "Sir, I was wrong. I don't know what advice you can give me."

Seeing Huang Yuan's repentance, his confidant said slowly: "I don't know what the general is asking for now?"

"Yuan only wants to survive now." Huang Yuan said seriously.

"General, do you think the morale of the army is useful?" Fu Xu asked his confidant after hearing about it.

"The army's morale is already in disarray, so it's not usable. Everyone in the army just wants to survive." Huang Yuan said with a frown.

"Wrong, although the army is not available, but the general's confidantes are available. The general is confidant to us. There is no shortage of wealth and beauties. How can we not serve the general?" the confidant continued.

"What do you mean, sir?" Huang Yuan asked with some doubts.

"The general must now cut off his tail to survive. The army's mind is chaotic, and all those with evil intentions want to use the general's head as a gift of surrender. The general made a decisive decision and led Bu Qu's confidants and others to abandon the army." The confidant said with firm eyes.

Huang Yuan asked with a heavy face when he heard this, "Where can we escape?"

The confidant whispered: "Go east, Sun Wu."

"Okay, sir, when shall I run away?" Huang Yuan thought for a while.
"Tonight, the current situation should be sooner rather than later. If you stay a little longer, it will be more dangerous for me to wait." The confidant continued.

"Okay, Mr. Yuan, please help me to inform everyone that other soldiers in the army must not find out. I will leave the village tonight in the name of inspection." Huang Yuan entrusted the heavy responsibility to his confidants, and went to various ministries to comfort the soldiers and confuse other soldiers in the army.

Not far from Linqiong, on a gentle hillside, Wang Ping sat on the ground with the crowd and asked them, "Is there anything unusual about the Huang Yuan rebels?"

Shi Xin cupped his hands and replied: "The enemy camp is very calm, nothing unusual."

Wang Ping heard this and said to the herald officer: "Immediately send an order to Zheng Chuo, ordering him to pull out his stronghold and approach Linqiong. If there is any abnormality in the enemy army, keep a distance and not engage in battle."

The herald waved the flag to signal the scouts to come, and the scouts went up the slope to receive the order and went straight to Zheng Chuo's army.

Near dusk, scouts came galloping from a distance, uphill to report Huang Yuan's movements to Wang Ping.

"Report! General, there is still no abnormality in Huang Yuan's army." The scout quickly retreated after reporting.

"General, what is the meaning of Huang Yuan, why didn't you move anything today because you wanted to attack yesterday." Shi Xin asked suspiciously.

Wang Ping closed his eyes and meditated for a while, thinking secretly in his heart, suddenly grasped the Han sword stuck in the ground with his right hand, got up with his strength and said with a smile: "Huang Yuan wants to escape!"

"The whole army is on alert. Let all the scouts go out and watch over Huang Yuan. The cavalry will put on their armor and stand by for orders tonight." Wang Ping pulled out the Han sword, put it back into the scabbard and said sternly.

Everyone also stood up and received the order.
