Chapter 115: Slaying Generals and Seizing the Stage (2)
.The crowd came to the front of the city from the rear army. Qin Bo had just retreated from the top of the city at this time. It was obvious that he had just been unable to talk to the city's people. As soon as he saw Zhang Chi, he said, "Young Master, the city's guardians refused to let go. In my opinion, this must be the instruction of the governor of Liangzhou."
Zhang Chi nodded. It was obvious that this place was under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. If no one instructed him, how could he dare to block the army from the city? This is the truth. But what Zhang Chi is thinking about now is why the governor of Liangzhou always secretly obstructed him?
"Can you not pass by this city and walk around other roads?" Zhang Chi asked.
"If it was still feasible on the plain, but now when we were in the mountainous area, there were mountains all around. If we took a detour, it would be a waste of more time." Qin Bo was familiar with the geography of Shuzhong. He said this, then it must be like this.
Pingwu is in a hurry, time is tight, so how can I have time to go back to Chengdu to find the governor of Liangzhou?
"If you forcefully attack the city, can you conquer it?"
Du Ximing said: "There are not many defenders in the city, but if you forcefully attack the city, you are afraid that he will shoot arrows on the city and the damage will definitely be significant."
"It must have been the Liangzhou Governor who sent someone to burn the inn at the beginning! Now he has set up a checkpoint here, I don't know what he is thinking about." Qin Bo gritted his teeth with hatred.
"But what are the benefits for him?" Mitsuki couldn't figure it out.
"People like the governor of Liangzhou will definitely not do anything without profit." Ding Yizhi said with a smile.
"Yes," said Ding Yizhi's reminder, Zhang Chi suddenly felt something: "From the beginning when the Hu people captured the six counties, the governor of Liangzhou advocated surrender. Could it be that he had contacted the Hu people secretly?"
"It's very likely," Qin Bo also agreed.
"If this is the case..." Zhang Chi pondered, but wanted to say something but stopped. Such a thing was of great importance, and he was not sure after all.
Ding Yizhi took the conversation and said, "If this is the case, the governor of Liangzhou must be the inner support of the Hu people. Now he is secretly obstructing him. His purpose is not to make things difficult for the young master. It is his goal to delay the speed of the army."
Hearing Ding Yizhi's words, Santong cried out: "Oh no, they must go to Pingwu!"
Santong's words were not unreasonable. In his opinion, the Liangzhou Governor set up a checkpoint here to prevent the army from saving Pingwu.
"If this is the case, it's still good, it means that the other party's general is just a mediocre person." Ding Yizhi said with a smile.
"Why is this mediocre?" Mitong was surprised. In his opinion, such an enemy was already very cunning.
"The superior troops attack the strategy, the second is to attack the city, and the lower troops attack the city." Ding Yizhi explained it to Santong on the surface, but in fact he was reminding Zhang Chi: "Surprising the city is the lowest, and Pingwu is originally a must-have town. Moreover, if Pingwu cannot be captured within three or five days, the situation will be unpredictable when the brother reinforcements arrive. Therefore, it is better to attack the city than attack the city."
Santong was humble and studious, and asked quickly: "What would he do if the Hu people attacked the plan?"
"If I were the opponent's general, I could pretend to attack Pingwu, but in fact I could only send a small number of troops to prove the momentum. Although Pingwu also has a defender, Pingwu's lonely city will definitely not dare to fight. I will only rely on the city to defend it, and then let people cut off the water source in Pingwu City and wait for it to be in chaos."
Ding Yizhi had talked about the war before he met the enemy. The situation was already as expected. He really had the style of Zhuge Wuhou back then: "But in fact, I secretly arranged the army in the middle of my brother's rescue. If I was prepared to attack but not, I would definitely win a great victory. At that time, reinforcements were gone, and the Pacification of Wu Gucheng was also a thing in my pocket. In this way, the obstruction of the governor of Liangzhou was only to delay the brother's itinerary and give the Hu people enough time to arrange the siege."
After Ding Yizhi said something, everyone was stunned. It was obvious that if the other party used Ding Yizhi's strategy to attack him, he would definitely fall into the trap. At the same time, they were all grateful that fortunately Ding Yizhi was not the other party's general, and it was a blessing.
Zhang Chi suddenly remembered a common strategy used by the Red Army and blurted out: "Siege the city and attack aid!"
"Brother is really smart. He only used four words to express the true meaning, which made Yizhi admire him." Ding Yizhi always used inspiration to make Zhang Chi understand, and he always gave Zhang Chi enough face.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this cousin is not only smart, but also smooth in doing things. Yang Xiu is smart, but his intelligence is wrong. A truly smart person should be like Ding Yizhi and will never be disgusted.
"But Brother Zhang sent troops for the past few days. The governor of Liangzhou has been in Chengdu and is far away from the Hu people. How can he tell the Hu people that even if the Hu people use this strategy, how can he have time to let the governor of Liangzhou set up a card?" Santong asked.
"It is naturally not possible to use manpower. But if Fei Ge is used to pass the letter, it will be too late." Ding Yizhi thought for a while and said, "If things were as expected, the governor of Liangzhou would have had letters with the Hu people through Fei Ge."
Du Ximing nodded: "I also think Mr. Ding is right, so no matter what you say, you must speed up the marching. The key is to pass the city gate in front of you first."
Du Ximing was right, but how did you pass the test? Everyone was speechless.
"Why don't I go and try to open the city gate." After a moment of silence, Zhang Chi suddenly thought of a solution.
Daoxuan saw Zhang Chi going alone: "Brother Zhang, I'll go with you."
Zhang Chi smiled. He knew Daoxuan was concerned about his safety, but he refused to say, "Some people are afraid that the other party will be suspicious. Besides, I have Bai Xue and are very fast. Even if they shoot arrows, they won't hit me. Don't worry."
...
Zhang Chi and others guessed correctly that the garrison in the city was ordered by the governor of Liangzhou and deliberately delayed the army's itinerary.
At this time, the guard general was leading the crossbowman to guard the city. If they dared to come and grab the pass, they would not plan to fight and would only greet them with the crossbow.
At this time, although the army under the city was outside the range of the crossbow, the guard did not dare to be careless at all. After all, there were tens of thousands of people under the city, looking into the distance on the top of the city, always observing the movements of the army.
Suddenly, he came from the army and headed straight to the city. The person who came rode a white horse, a blue shirt, dressed in a scholar, and was dressed as Zhang Chi.
Why did a scholar come to the army? The guard general was surprised.
"Who is coming?" shouted from the city.
Zhang Chi smiled and replied loudly: "Please inform the general of defending the city. I have a letter from the governor of Liangzhou, and I will submit it to the general of defending the city in person."
Zhang Chi said that he was in the face, and of course he wanted to lure the guards out of the city.
But the city guard was not stupid and sneered: "Do you want to cheat the city gate? How could I not know how you are doing?"
"I do have a letter from the governor of Liangzhou, and I will ride one by one. What can I do if you open the city gate? If a large army surges up, you can close the city gate again." Zhang Chi's expression was natural.
This is true. The army in the distance was away from an arrow. If there was any movement, they would not be able to rush in.
Despite this, the guard was cautious: "Even if the governor of Liangzhou has letters, how can he hand it over to you? Besides, how can you be in the army?"
"It is inconvenient to explain in detail the twists and turns. But I really have a letter from the governor of Liangzhou, and I have to present it to the general." Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Besides, I am a scholar, without weapons, and a single horse. You can only send dozens of people to guard it. Is it because a general who is still afraid that my unarmed scholar will not be successful?"
This is true, the guard in the city said. Although he did not trust Zhang Chi, he thought about what tricks he could do in front of the city gate? After thinking about it, he went down the city tower, lit a dozen riders and followed him, got on the horse with his sword, opened the city gate and walked out.
A dozen cavalry came to Zhang Chi with their weapons and stood there one meter before him, and immediately stood still. The guard asked, "What kind of letter is it? You can show it to me now."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Actually, I lied to you and didn't have any letters."
The guard general was naturally furious: "Do you dare to scare me?" But at this time, Zhang Chi had already arrived in front of the guard general.
Zhang Chi's horse was fast, and before the guard general's word "小" was expressed, Zhang Chi had already arrived beside him. After the guard general finished speaking, he realized and quickly raised his long sword to chop. He really couldn't figure it out, this scholar had no weapons, so why should he come to die?
Seeing that the big sword was about to fall, Bai Xue suddenly stopped suddenly and quickly left the shape of a "Z" shape. The guard general cut off the air with a knife. Before he could raise the long sword again, Zhang Chi had already arrived behind him.
Zhang Chi had no weapons, so he could only rely on Bai Xue's speed to move, seized the opportunity when the guard general turned his back to him, and grabbed his hair.
The ancients left long hair, which made Zhang Chi convenient for him to start. Bai Xue seemed to understand Zhang Chi's intentions. Zhang Chi just grabbed the hair of the guard general, and Bai Xuesha suddenly accelerated. The guard general shouted, "Oh my god!" and was taken out.
Zhang Chi originally wanted to carry his hair and pull him back to the army, so that he could force him to open the city and let go, but who expected that Zhang Chi's hand strength was limited, and a living person was at least about a hundred pounds, and he couldn't lift it with one hand. However, despite this, Bai Xue's running speed also made the guard general fly forward and flew forward for a long time before he fell to the ground with his back on his back.
The guard was facing away from Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi grabbed his hair. He was surrounded by Bai Xue, and of course his back was facing downwards.
All this was only in the flash. Although the guard general brought dozens of riders to follow, who had expected that the horse that the scholar sat down was so fast. When the guard general fell to the ground and raised dust, the dozens of riders had time to react and quickly rode his horse to come forward to rescue him.
Although Zhang Chi was fast, he could run away against dozens of horses himself, but he could not beat him. But he could never save the guard general, otherwise would he have been wasted all his previous efforts? He could not capture him alive, and he would have to die at the city.
Of course, Bai Xue's speed was beyond the reach of the dozens of riders. The guard had just fallen to the ground on his back, and before he could turn over and get up, Bai Xue had already arrived in front of him quickly. The horse's hooves fell, and they stepped on his throat.
It was as moving as lightning, as quiet as in a painting. It was still extremely moving just now, but suddenly it turned into extremely quiet. The horse's hooves were still stepping on the throat of the guard, and the guard had already been trampled on by this step, and his throat was cut off and he died!
Everyone in the city was shocked, but they all forgot to exhale.
Zhang Chi likes this feeling very much. It feels like he is a star, and everyone's eyes are gathered on him, "I am ordered by the King of Chengdu to go north to fight against Hu. Those who dare to stop it are treason and will die more. Now the evil one has died in front of my horse. As long as others are willing to open the city and let it go, they will no longer pursue it. If you are obsessed with it and refuse to open the city, believe it or not, the army behind me will step into dust in an instant!"
Zhang Chi's voice was not loud, but the people around him had already been shocked by Zhang Chi and could hear these words clearly.
