The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 285
The name Wei Zheng is too resounding. This is a famous statesman and thinker in history. Wang Shiren is not simple. , have seen his skill.These two joined hands to defend the city, how will I take down this dangerous pass?Thinking of this, Yang Yong ordered his soldiers to scold the enemy.

But no matter how Yang Yong's soldiers yelled and scolded outside the pass, no matter how ugly the curse was, if there was no movement at all, and the door was closed tightly, it would be as if they hadn't heard it, and they would ignore it.Generals Wu Tianxi and Cheng Yaojin both advocated a strong attack, while Li Wan'er and Zhai Rang opposed it. We only have 3 troops and storming Hulao Pass is nothing but nonsense.

Yang Yong frowned, Wei Zheng is scheming, Wang Shiren is brave and good at fighting, this duo guards this dangerous pass, what should we do?Zhai Rang said: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is resourceful and the city is too steep to attack by force. However, Wang Shiren has always been arrogant and warlike. He looks at no one. We can lure the snake out of the hole."

Yang Yong's eyes lit up after listening to his mind spinning several times quickly, and he ordered: "Come on, the soldiers retreat five miles, and set up camp!"

After Yang Yongan came down to the camp, he ordered Wu Tianxi, Qu Tugai, Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhai Rang to take turns fighting at the pass every day, instead of attacking the city, and he took Li Wan'er to visit Songshan Mountain today and the Yellow River tomorrow. Shuang, if you enter, you will be in a pair. It is very comfortable, and it is like this for several days.

These things have been reported to Wei Zheng and Wang Shiren for a long time. When Wang Shiren heard this, he said angrily: "This kid really enjoys it. He regards this battlefield as a honeymoon? I will kill him!"

Wei Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, the general doesn't need to pay attention to him. This is Yang Yong's strategy. He can do whatever he likes. We are four words: stick to it and not fight. What can he do to me? If he has the ability to let him Tens of thousands of horses and horses have wings and fly over here!"

However, Wang Shiren couldn't be happier. It turns out that this is a person whose palms will itch if he doesn't fight a battle. Thanks to his high martial arts skills, if he doesn't wield a sword or hear the neighing of a war horse for a few days, he will be unwilling to eat, and he will not be able to sleep at night. If you want to get on the horse and lift the knife to vent, it will settle down.

A few days later, someone came to report: "Reporting to the military adviser and the general, Yang Yong and Li Wan'er were not really traveling in the mountains and rivers. They were looking for food and grass. In the past few nights, a large number of troops and horses have been in the Yellow River. Grazing and drinking horses on the sides and hillsides.”

"Oh? No wonder they didn't forcefully attack our Guancheng these days. It turned out that they couldn't provide food and grass. They scolded and scolded fiercely during the day, but at night they gave up. How dare they secretly graze and drink horses on the bank of the Yellow River? Wait tonight This general caught them off guard!" Wang Shiren looked excited.

Wei Zheng's expression was still calm, as if he hadn't heard the news, he shook his head again and again, dismissed the reporter, and said to Wang Shiren: "General, this is probably Yang Yong's treacherous scheme, don't be impatient, and don't be fooled. .”

Wang Shiren refused to accept it, and said to himself, what is this bull-nosed person capable of? My elder brother asked him to be a military adviser?I think he will only defend the city honestly and act like a turtle. To put it bluntly, he is incompetent.Who can't defend the city? What kind of skill is this?
But due to the face of his elder brother Wang Shichong, Wang Shiren still respected Wei Zheng, and saluted: "Military Master, Yang Yong just won tens of thousands of people in Wagang, and he forgot about it. I'm afraid he came to attack us without knowing how many soldiers there are. The so-called unsteady foothold, a thousand wastes waiting to be done, and the battle line is so long all of a sudden, it is completely true that food and grass cannot be provided, this is a very good opportunity for war."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Wuliang Tianzun. Did the general forget the prince's instructions? The most important thing right now is to guard the city. We must remain unchanged to meet all changes, and ignore them."

"Okay." Wang Shiren had no choice but to hold back his anger.

A few days later, I visited the horse to report: "I reported to the military adviser and the general that Yang Yong's general Zhai Rang was ordered to escort the grain and grass, and the convoy arrived at the foot of Mang Mountain tonight."

After sending the reporter away, Wang Shiren couldn't sit still, and saluted: "Military Master, Mang Mountain is only more than 100 miles away from here. As soon as the robbers' food and grass arrive, they will be like a tiger with wings. The last chance. At the end of the day, the general will lead an army to lie in ambush on Mount Mang and rob his food and grass. If the robbery fails, even if the food and grass are destroyed. If they go out, Yang Yong's soldiers and horses will definitely be defeated."

Wei Zheng persuaded him if he disagreed, but this time he couldn't persuade him. Wang Shiren insisted on sending troops to rob food.In the end, Wei Zheng was helpless, and the two had no choice but to divide the work. Wang Shiren rushed to Mangshan with 2 cavalry to ambush, while Wei Zheng took the remaining [-] soldiers and horses to stand firm at the pass.

In the evening, Wang Shiren's soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Mang Mountain. Wang Shiren ordered the troops to stop, and first sent horses from far and near to inquire about the news of the grain and grass carts, and then took a few horsemen to inspect the terrain.

It’s the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The mountains here are verdant and towering like clouds. There is only one official road extending to the distance. The road is quite wide. Weeds grow on both sides of the road. It is the woods, lush and lush, covering the sky and the sun, just right for ambush soldiers and horses.

After Wang Shiren read it, he led his soldiers and horses to ambush in the jungle on both sides and behind the chaotic rocks. All the ambush in front were archers. They were afraid that the horses would neigh. down.

Today is still sunny, after a sweltering day, it finally cools down, and a gust of mountain wind blows in, making it very pleasant.Wang Shiren hid in the depths of the jungle, counting the stars in the sky, listening to the chirping of grass insects, and enjoying the bites of mosquitoes and insects. Finally, Tanma quietly came to him, and lowered his voice to report: "Report to the general, Yang Yong's food and grass." The car is only thirty miles away from here!"

Wang Shiren was overjoyed when he heard that, and ordered his men to ambush and prepare for battle.After a long period of time, a group of people and horses came into his line of sight, and gradually he saw clearly that they were all grain and grass carts, and he couldn't see the side at a glance.The soldiers shouted and drove the animals, and the heavy grain carts creaked and creaked.

At this time, I heard a soldier ask the leader of the team: "General Zhai, it's getting late, and there are more than 160 miles away from the barracks. There are mountain bandits blocking the road in front of us. Why don't we just rest there for the night?" Do you want to drive across the mountains after dawn?"

Zhai Rang smiled contemptuously and said: "This place is so close to the battlefield, the bandits have already scared away. The key is that our camp is seriously short of food and grass, and we can't get rid of it. I can't delay, so I have to travel overnight."

Another soldier said worriedly: "General, here are high mountains and dense forests, the bandits are scared away, but if Wei Zheng and Wang Shiren set up an ambush here, the consequences will be disastrous."

Before Zhai Rang could speak, the soldier just took over the words and said: "Don't mention them, they are not as good as bandits. We scolded them for days, and they were so frightened that they huddled in the pass and dared not fight. They even wet their pants. How dare they fight?" Come here to ambush, hahaha..." After saying that, the soldiers all laughed.

Zhai Rang stopped everyone with a smile and said, "Stop joking, we can rest after passing Mang Mountain. It's getting late, so speed up the march."

The soldiers under his command agreed, mobilized the soldiers and horses, and accelerated forward.

Wang Shiren, who was ambushing in the dark, heard their conversation clearly, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, how dare you underestimate this general. Let me show you some flair today. Brothers, go!"
