Chapter 123: Another year when the wheat is ripe
Zhang Mao showed unusual enthusiasm for Yao Gezhong and his tribe. Banquets and visits, secret appointments and conversations followed one after another. Anyone who was not blind could see that Zhang Mao was interested in recruiting. Now he was very satisfied and became the
Liangzhou Mu is already a sure thing, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.
Zhang Lingyun was naturally unhappy with this extremely arrogant poaching behavior. Even though it was summer, the coldness on that pretty face would make anyone shiver involuntarily when they saw it! However, Yunfeng smiled.
In other words, he didn’t think Yao Gezhong would not see it
Out of the factional struggle in the Liangzhou military, whether to be his ally with Zhang Lingyun or to join Zhang Mao, he will naturally make the right choice. This is also the fact. Yao Gezhong has always been lukewarm and vague, showing a diplomatic attitude.
The transformed face made Zhang Mao secretly hate him!
Let’s ignore for the moment that Yunfeng and Yao Yisheng have been friends for eight years, or that they are about to marry Yao Jing and become in-laws. Yao Gezhong still has an inexplicable fear of Yunfeng.
Although martial arts and military skills are worthy of attention in the eyes of people in power like them, they are far from being feared. They are just a fierce general who cannot make any big waves. To rule the roost in troubled times, they still rely on their brains. However, Yunfeng
His scheming and decision-making abilities left him feeling cold.
Take Yunfeng's attempt to kill the Zhao envoy as an example. In fact, when the man first stepped into the camp, Yao Gezhong had already guessed the purpose of his visit, so he vaguely sent Yunfeng away temporarily to leave some space for himself.
The next time to think. What I didn't expect was that this man was so cruel that he killed someone and cut off his escape, leaving him with no other choice but to fight to the end.
Yao Gezhong also had some understanding of Yunfeng's thousands-mile attack on the Cheshi Kingdom. The decisiveness in his actions and the ease with which he defeated the city made him frightened just thinking about it. You must know that the cold weather and freezing ground have always prevented marchers from doing anything, but this man did not
, but he did the opposite and succeeded in one battle, robbing Jiaohe completely!
Such means and actions are indeed quite terrifying. Yao Gezhong can hardly imagine what kind of disaster it will bring to the entire tribe once he betrays this ally who always has a smile on his face. He never knows when.
You will be charged in by thousands of troops in your sleep!
Not to mention Yao Gezhong's lament, regarding this Zhao invasion, Yunfeng did not propose building high ditches and deep fortresses outside the city, mainly because there was no time. Liangzhou's intelligence system was indeed speechless, and the opponent stationed heavy troops in
In Shanggui, nearly 200,000 people were engaged in military operations without any notice, and an effective opportunity to deploy defensive positions was wasted.
Moreover, Yunfeng had already made a bold plan to have a cavalry duel with Youzi from far away and decide the outcome in one battle! Therefore, he did not disturb the opponent's march. In his opinion, as long as the Zhao cavalry was annihilated,
No matter how well-equipped the remaining 70,000 infantrymen are, they will inevitably end up being wiped out.
The reason why he wanted to go to war in danger has a lot to do with Zhang Jun. Although the family arrangements have been made impregnable, who knows if Zhang Jun has other methods? Keeping such a scourge by his side, in his heart
I am always a little uneasy. Only by fighting quickly can I rush back as soon as possible to deal with Zhang Jun and others!
Two days later, the 21,000 infantry troops led by Zhao Yang and the nearly 200,000 Zhao troops arrived around Yuzhong almost at the same time. Both sides were in strict formation and did not give the other side any opportunity to take advantage of them. Although in the process of setting up camp,
The atmosphere was tense and the situation was on the verge of breaking out, but they all restrained themselves and did not send troops to provoke the other side. In such a large-scale battle, no one would take action easily without more than 50% certainty.
There was a solemn atmosphere outside Yuzhong City again. Looking from a distance, the Zhaojun camp stretched for dozens of miles, with no end as far as the eye could see. Flags of various colors were flying among them. The largest and highest one was naturally floating in the middle.
The flag with the word "You" above the army's main tent, and the uniform appearance of the soldiers and their distinctive armors, are completely different from Pu Hong's army.
All the generals in Liangzhou, including Yao Gezhong and Yao Yisheng, stood on a high place and looked down. There was no flaw to be found in the entire Zhao army camp. They were all secretly frightened. Zhang Mao glanced around and said:
"We have all seen the enemy's lineup. Although You Ziyuan is only a penny,
I, my minister, are resourceful and decisive, good at seizing opportunities, and will not send troops easily. However, once we find our weakness, we will attack decisively and will not give up until we achieve our goal. In fact, we are the biggest enemy of Liangzhou, and we do not despise it at all.
No, just tell me what your generals think, and we can all take it as a reference."
For a moment, everyone was thinking silently. Suddenly, Zhao Yang chuckled, cupped his hands towards Zhang Mao and said: "General Pingxi, You Ziyuan is indeed well-deserved. The last general is unimaginable, and he can only defend his way. However, we have always heard that General Yun is very resourceful.
, I think there should be countermeasures, why not ask General Yun to tell everyone, and we can discuss it further?"
Zhang Mao nodded, turned to Yun Feng and asked, "General Zhao's words make sense. Does General Yun have any good ideas in mind?"
For a moment, Zhang Lingyun's anger surged up uncontrollably! "Your sister is so stupid, she is bullying my husband. This is unbearable, but unbearable!" Just when he was about to retort, Yunfeng said:
The eyes stopped, and the intention of these two people could not be more obvious, that is, to make him embarrassed in public! Just imagine, facing a camp as tight as an iron barrel, who can come up with countermeasures in a short time?
However, Yunfeng was indeed confident, and he didn't care at all about Zhang Mao and Zhao Yang's provocative behavior. These two wanted Yunfeng's life, but why didn't Yunfeng not want their lives? The dispute of words,
It's extremely boring, but surviving to the end is your real skill.
He immediately smiled and said: "In this case, the last general will show his disgrace. In about ten days, Nan'an County will be ripe for wheat, but all the Fufeng Office troops have moved to our territory of Liangzhou for temporary residence. How can we let so much food go to waste?"
Rotting in the ground? In the end, I will see that no matter who it is, it will be moved by it, and it is far less likely that the wanderer will ignore it. Most of them will send cavalry to harvest it.
You must know that our army is on the defensive. If the confrontation continues for a long time, there will be a continuous supply of food and grass from the rear. As long as we do not mess up our positions and keep our own positions, even if Yuzhong eventually falls into the hands of the enemy, the enemy will definitely pay heavy casualties.
But the Zhao army is different. Although its strength is several times that of mine, its consumption is also huge. Within a few months, it will inevitably have to transport grain and grass again. Even if its transportation line starts from Shanggui, it is still 600 miles away from Yuzhong, which is a long and far distance.
There is a possibility of being intercepted by a sneak attack by our army's light cavalry at any time. In this case, the wheat in Nan'an is crucial to You Ziyuan.
The general’s plan is to use this as bait to lure all the Zhao army’s cavalry into a duel with our army, and complete their victory in one battle!”
As Yun Feng's resounding words fell, the whole place became silent. Everyone looked at Yun Feng as if they were looking at a lunatic, and they were all dumbfounded by his crazy idea.
'You have said it yourself, the Zhao army has a food and grass problem, and we are just going to use it up slowly. Why do we need to risk our troops and risk a decisive battle with the opponent?'
'This man is definitely not a normal person. He can no longer be treated with common sense. Only a lunatic would act with such recklessness! No wonder he fights as if he is desperate for his life. Now I finally know the reason.'
