Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 401 Assault on the Wu Lan Department

"As for Yangping Pass..., I will go there personally, and the military division will be stationed in Chengdu to secure the rear. Only in this way can I go to seize the pass with peace of mind." Cao Ang said.

"That's good! Then I'm here to wish you success!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "But this time, my lord needs to enter Jiameng Pass in a high-profile way, so that the enemy can know that our army has increased troops at Jiameng Pass. The bigger the momentum, the better." ".

The next day, Cao Ang sent troops to Jiameng Pass with great fanfare. He was afraid that others would not know about it. In secret, Cao Ang's troops were divided into two groups. Chaoyang Pingguan left.

When Li Song learned that Cao Ang sent Fazheng and Ma Chao troops to identify the pass, he ordered Chang Yuchun to lead [-] troops to help Yue Fei and Zhang Yun defend Dongchuan.

Ma Chao's troops went to Xiabian, and Fazheng stationed troops at Gushan, so that Wu Lan was the vanguard and led the troops to station at Xiabian.

"This time we were ordered by the lord to cut off the enemy's retreat. The lord didn't give us many soldiers and horses. What should we do next? If this matter is delayed for a long time, the enemy may find out our army reality." Ma Chao asked.

It turned out that Cao Ang adopted the method of attacking the east and attacking the west this time. He personally led the main force to deal with Yue Fei. The troops sent to Fazheng, Ma Chao, and Wu Lan were not many, only about 1, and they were just asked to block Li Jun. It was just reinforcements, they were not really required to deal with Chang Yuchun's army, they could delay it for as long as they could.

"Tomorrow, we will send secret agents to spread the word everywhere and publicize it with great fanfare; our army is about to send troops to cut off Li Jun's return path! Put on the posture of a big battle, but the momentum must be very scary, the more fanfare the better."

"Is this useful? If the enemy comes to test, won't our lies be self-defeating?" Ma Chao was very puzzled, always feeling that the guy in front of him was a little unreliable.

"Don't be impatient, general! At the same time, let's create a sign that the lord will send another [-] elite soldiers, and order people to rush to make the flag overnight. In this way, the enemy will be convinced when they see it, and they will fall into my trap." By the time they come to their senses, Yangping Pass has already fallen." Fazheng laughed.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, so I'll order people to rush to make the banner overnight, and order people to spread the fake news." After Ma Chao said, he turned and left.

The next day, Chang Yuchun called all the generals under his command to discuss the matter, Chang Yuchun said: "Today, who will go to investigate the reality of the enemy's camp instead of this general."

"The final general is willing to go!" Hou Cheng came out, clasped his fists and saluted.

Chang Yuchun was overjoyed and said: "Okay! You will lead [-] troops to go and find out. I will personally follow behind and hold the battle for you."

"Report! Report to the general, the enemy camp in Gushan, a large number of enemy troops have been found." As soon as Chang Yuchun finished speaking, the spies flew to report.

"What?" Chang Yuchun was shocked!After a while, he stood up and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did the enemy army come?"

The spy said: "It's about [-]. The small ones are afraid of being discovered and dare not get too close, but judging from the flags, it should not be lower than [-]."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this!Chang Yuchun waved his hand, the spies bowed their hands and retreated, before Chang Yuchun could speak, another spies rushed to report.

"Report! The enemy army intends to call for a battle led by Ma Chao three days later, and Fazheng will cut off our roads in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and cut off our army's retreat."

Everyone was shocked!He hurriedly asked Chang Yuchun what to do, Chang Yuchun waved his hand, and the spies retreated, Chang Yuchun thought about it, and laughed.

Everyone was puzzled, and Zang Ba asked: "General, the enemy's strength is greatly increased now, and they want to block our retreat. In this way, our army will be in danger. I don't know why the general is laughing."

Chang Yuchun laughed and said: "This is just Fa's bluff! If he really wants to cut off our army's return, he should ambush and stealthily. How could he be so grandiose, I'm afraid we don't know."

"It means that they will definitely not break the road. Our army should throw away all worries before its large army gathers in Wudu, and rush to Xiabian. If Wu Lan's army is defeated, they will retreat naturally."

"General, even though that's the case! But the enemy army has just increased its troops to no less than [-] people. The general thinks it's better to be careful." A member of the military academy said.

"You don't have to worry about this! This is also a trick of the enemy's bluff. If the enemy really increases their troops, why should they bluff."

"So, we used our tricks to make them feel that we have been fooled. Tonight, we will raid Wu Lan's tribe on Qingqi." Chang Yuchun said.

The generals suddenly realized!It turned out that this was the case, which caused them a false alarm.

"Promise!" The generals clasped their fists in a salute, and took orders to leave.

In the end, Fazheng's big fool did not fool Chang Yuchun, but instead fooled his own Wu Lanjun.

Wu Lan learned that Cao Ang sent another [-] troops to reinforce him, but Fazheng didn't divide his soldiers, so Wu Lan sent someone to ask Fazheng to send him more troops. Soldiers and horses may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack.

After the people sent by Wu Lan informed Fazheng of his intentions, Fazheng asked him to go back and tell Wu Lan that the army was to be used to cut off the enemy's rear, and they could not be assigned to him one by one. The enemy knew that our army was going to cut him off. The back road, already like a frightened bird, will definitely not invade him.

After Wu Lan got the accurate news from Fazheng, she felt relieved. Since the army was going to cut off other people's retreat, she had better not make trouble, and just waited honestly. Worrying about something, Wu Lan relaxed her vigilance.

After the visitor left, Fazheng and Ma Chao looked at each other and laughed, Ma Chao said: "This Wu Lan actually believes that this rumor is true."

"This is not very good. It shows that my strategy is going smoothly. Even Wu Lan believes it, and the enemy army will naturally believe it. Wouldn't it be better in this way?" Fazheng laughed.

"Indeed, if you want to come to the enemy's camp, you'll be in a panic, and you'll be in a mess." Ma Chao said, his face full of unconcealable joy.

Suddenly, a spy entered and whispered the information in Ma Chao's ear. After speaking, he withdrew. As Ma Chao expected, there was a "panic" in Chang Yuchun's camp.

In the middle of the night, Chang Yuchun personally led [-] Qingqi, under the cover of night, went straight to Wu Lan's camp and killed them.

Wu Lanjun was caught off guard by Chang Yuchun, and Wu Lan's army was killed without leaving any behind.

When Wu Lan learned that the camp had been attacked, she wanted to retreat, Ya Jiang Ren Kui said: "The bandit soldiers have just arrived, if you can't dampen their spirit first, what face do you have to meet Ma Chao?"

So he didn't listen to Wu Lan's dissuasion, and suddenly raised his spear to fight Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun personally raised his sword and leaped out of the horse. .
