Chapter 334: Zhuge's wonderful plan to secure the world
"Lord, the order has been conveyed to all battalions and villages. All the generals above the commander have been returned to their headquarters. We organized our soldiers to start preparing for the night battle, and wait for the lord to advance to the tent to order troops at any time!"
In Ma Zhong's report, Deputy Director Tao turned a deaf ear and lowered his head and just thought about whether Guo Tu's surrender was true or false, whether he really planned to accept the Guandu camp where the Xuzhou army sneaked into Yuan Tan's army, or set up a trap in the Guandu camp and lured the Xuzhou army to go to the trap.
The blessing of Yang Changshi's inadequate arrangement left behind the flaw of Li Lang's real name, allowing Deputy Director Tao to follow the clues and basically grasp the whole story. Yang Changshi took private revenge and killed someone with a knife. He wanted to forge a letter of surrender to borrow Yuan Tan's hand, except Guo Tu, but the letter of surrender was sent to Guo Tu and asked Guo Tu to send a letter of sending a letter of surrender. Deputy Director Tao already knew these reasons and consequences. The only thing Deputy Director Tao didn't know now is whether the request of the brothers Guo Tu was true or false.
Jia Lao Poison, Liu Ye, Xun Chen and the four major strategists were also frowning. Like Deputy Director Tao, they also understood the whole story of the matter, but they could not determine whether Guo Tu's brothers' request was true or false. Yang Changshi and Li Lang, the most unscrupulous master and servant in Xuzhou, were still kneeling in the middle of the tent, trembling together, and even dared not let out a breath. Although after carefully recounting the detailed incident twice, Yang Changshi and Li Lang were already dry and their throats were smoked, but they were spoiled as if Yang Changshi did not dare to ask for water to drink this time. He knelt there and just trembled slightly, and did not even dare to have the courage to beg for mercy.
There is no way, Yang Changshi's disaster this time was too great. He had to confuse prisoners and secretly contacted the enemy's important officials. The key is that Yang Changshi also forged Deputy Director Tao's handwritten letters and leaked Xuzhou military aircraft with the reputation of Deputy Director Tao. Such a bad behavior is a serious crime of beheading no matter which dynasty or generation. What Yang Changshi, who knew that he could not escape, could do it now, that is, how to beg for mercy to Deputy Director Tao for a while, and that was looking forward to his sister-in-law Guo Huan and Jia Lao Poison, who was reluctant to be a close friend, pleaded for him.
Guo Suo and Shi Yunfeng had been invited to another small tent to rest. A dark whistle detective was staring at him quietly. Before leaving, Guo Suo told Deputy Director Tao that although this was a by-law misunderstanding, his brother was still willing to surrender to Xuzhou. He also reminded that Guo Tu had organized dead soldiers in Yuan Tan's military camp and arranged a response. He begged Deputy Director Tao to send troops as agreed. Otherwise, Guo Tu would set fire in the camp. However, the Xuzhou army did not take the opportunity to attack the camp, and Mr. Guo Tu would die without a burial place. Finally, Guo Suo, who was worried about his brother's safety, kowtowed to Deputy Director Tao again, and expressed his willingness to stay in Xuzhou camp as a qualifier to prove his sincere wish to surrender.
In response, Deputy Director Tao first comforted the Guo Suo, and said he absolutely believed that the Guo Tu brothers asked for surrender. In front of Guo Suo, he ordered the entire army to prepare for night battles. After sending Guo Suo away, Deputy Director Tao no longer said anything, and kept planning and analyzing the authenticity of the Guo Tu brothers asked for surrender.
"It shouldn't be a fraudulent surrender!" After a long time, Liu Ye stood up and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, if there is a fraud, Guo Suo, who came to commit suicide, would definitely have his head to the ground. Guo Tu has always been selfish. For his glory and wealth, he first forced Zhang He and Gao Lan to rebel, and later betrayed most of Qingzhou to our army. Such a selfish person cannot sacrifice his brother for Yuan Tan, so this time it is definitely not a fraudulent surrender!"
Deputy Director Tao looked up at Liu Ye and did not speak. Xun Chen also stood up and bowed and said, "Lord, Mr. Ziyang's words are reasonable. Chen was in Jizhou for a long time and knew that Guo Tu and Guo Su are not only brothers of flesh and blood, but also like father and son. If Guo Tu pretends to surrender, it is unlikely that Guo Su will be sent to our military camp to die."
After listening to Xun Chen's analysis, Deputy Director Tao was finally a little shaken, almost believing that Yang Changshi had lost his luck again, and accidentally recruited the Guo Tu brothers for him. Old Jia, who was sitting on Liu Ye's head, spoke up and said, "Although Mr. Youruo and Mr. Ziyang's words are reasonable, they may not be. The lord and the second duke can think about it carefully. If it were not for Mr. Zhongming's case, Guo's request to lead the way for our army to attack the enemy camp, would we allow it or not?"
Liu Ye and Xun Chen thought carefully and found that it was true. If it weren't for Yang Changshi's quarrel and the major incident of surrendering and instigating the rebellion into a farce, making the self-in-arms suspicious of the Guo Tu brothers' request for surrender. Guo Suo proposed to lead the Xuzhou army to sneak attack the enemy camp, and the self-in-arms would indeed be very likely to agree. After thinking about this, Liu Ye asked tentatively: "Mr. Wenhe's meaning is that he wants to say that Guo Suo may have planned to escape by taking the opportunity to lead the way, but Mr. Zhongming made us suspicious, so he had to temporarily use the death plan and be determined to seduce our army into the plan?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Jia Lao Poison replied.
"But Mr. Wenhe, where is the evidence?" Xun Chen asked.
"There is no evidence, it's just a guess out of thin air." Jia Lao Poison replied frankly: "Xu just wants to remind the lord that there is such a possibility."
"This is a dilemma." Shi Yi frowned and said, "It may be that you really want to surrender, or that you may temporarily change to the death room. Both may have, or there may be no conclusive evidence to prove it. Could it be that our army can only bet on luck this time?"
"Gambling luck?" Deputy Director Tao, who had always been extremely lucky on the battlefield, looked dim and suddenly grabbed the case table and put the pen holder on it, swung his arm and smashed it at Changshi Yang, roaring: "It's all good things you do, you joke about such a big thing! Now, we can only bet thousands of soldiers for your life! If you lose the bet, thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou will be cheated to death by you idiot!"
"Lord, please spare me!" Yang Changshi, who was hit by the pen holder, howled like a pig, and quickly kowtowed and begged: "Lord, please spare me, please spare me, please forgive me, Hong Zhi is guilty, I will never dare to do anything again, I dare not do anything again, please forgive me for my minor achievements in the past."
"Lord, although Mr. Zhongming is bold and arbitrary, his original intention is not to betray him, but to avenge some personal revenge." Jia Lao Poison indeed spoke, and Yang Changshi, the guide who had sneaked into the revolutionary team in Xuzhou, pleaded for him: "I would like to ask Mr. Zhongming to make many extraordinary achievements. I would like to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions."
"No!" Deputy Director Tao said angrily: "This bastard has imitated my documents privately once or twice. I have let him go the first two times of embezzling public funds. This time, he dared to imitate my letters on military affairs. If there is no serious punishment, what will happen in the future? People come!"
"Lord, please spare your life! Lord, please spare your life!" Yang Changshi, who had no idea that Deputy Director Tao was only going to beat him with military sticks, was so devastated that he had urinated on the spot. He quickly kowtowed and shouted: "Lord, please spare your life! Lord, if you are really embarrassed about this, then you might as well stop betting. Anyway, that messenger is not reliable. Guo Tu's husband is even more unreliable. Since there is no way to judge whether Guo Tu really surrenders, just don't mind him. If you don't send troops, our soldiers will not have to take risks with their lives!"
"Fuck! The Guandu camp is so strong and such a good opportunity to break the camp. How can we miss it easily?" Deputy Director Tao was even more furious and shouted: "Now Guo Tu has sent his younger brother to surrender. If I ignore it, what if Guo Tu really initiates an internal response to our army tonight. If our army does not go to pick him up, let him die in vain, who else dares to act as an internal response for our army in the future?!"
"Impossible! The lord cannot!" Yang Changshi said without hesitation: "The minister thinks that Guo Tu is impossible to really come to surrender, because the minister has just wanted to kill him from the beginning and did not really want to surrender him. He deliberately arranged an unreliable messenger to deliver a letter to him. Therefore, the letter from the minister to Guo Tu is probably read by Yuan Tan and the others..."
"Slow down!" Jia Lao Poison quickly interrupted Yang Changshi and asked quickly: "Mr. Zhongming, how do you know that the messenger is unreliable?"
"Because I asked about the identity of the surrendered soldier named Shi Yunfeng." Yang Changshi replied frowningly: "He is just a small soldier in the enemy general Peng'an camp. He has neither an official position nor a member of Yuan Tan's central army. Mr. Wenhe, please think about it. If it was replaced by General Zilong or General Wen Chang's soldiers, it would be so easy to enter the central army to see you, talk to you secretly, and give you a secret letter to you secretly? Is this just because I took this into consideration, so I deliberately picked a small soldier to deliver the letter to the point of deliberately falling into the hands of Yuan Tan's common man!"
Lao Jia Poison and Deputy Director Tao were stunned, and then suddenly remembered an important question: How can a soldier who is so ordinary that he can easily sneak into the most closely guarded Central Military Camp, easily meet the No. 2 figure in the army, and get the opportunity to talk face to the No. 2 figure in the face to face with the No. 2 figure? Is it really idle to be a military advisor?
"And." Yang Changshi said aggrievedly again: "It's not right to have time. When Li Lang sent Shi Yunfeng into the enemy camp yesterday, it was already evening. As a result, there was a reply at noon today. A young man secretly delivered a letter to the old man Guo Tu. Maybe that's so fast?"
"Lord, this is an opportunity to identify the true or false!" Jia Lao Poison, who had always been steady, jumped up and said quickly: "Even if Guo Suo is determined to be dead, the young man who delivered the letter may not be able to die like him. It is the best breakthrough! Moreover, the young man's process of delivering the letter is also very suspicious. He should be mentioned separately and interrogated separately!"
"If the young man really handed the letter to Yuan Tan first, then Guo Suo was willing to serve as the death room, and there was a reasonable explanation!" Yi jumped up and quickly analyzed: "Yuan Tan found that Guo Tu had betrayed Jizhou, and was furious and would definitely kill Guo Tu. In order to survive, the Guo Tu brothers must pray for meritorious service in exchange for avoiding death. Then Guo Suo came to surrender. After finding that there was no chance to escape, in order to make Guo Tu, whom he raised, could survive, he naturally willingly acted as the death room!"
Deputy Director Tao finally smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send a message to the young man named Shi Yunfeng right away. By the way, he was our prisoner yesterday. The prisoners we have caught in the past few days have interrogation records. He also transferred his confession records to see what this kid is."
So, soon, Shi Yunfeng, a young master who had never been paid attention to by Deputy Director Tao and others, was quickly taken to the Central Army tent alone. The original confession record of Shi Yunfeng's resignation of the low-level civil servants in Xuzhou was also sent to the Central Army tent. However, Deputy Director Tao, who had originally had a glimmer of hope, was soon disappointed again, because Zhuge Liang not only arranged a seamless hometown resume for his confidant soldiers, but also fabricated a reasonable delivery process for Shi Yunfeng.
"Report to the envoy, the villain had never thought of sending the letter to the military commander Guo so smoothly." Shi Yunfeng replied so. "But it happened that it might be the blessing of the military commander Guo. After the villain returned to the camp, he happened to meet the military commander Guo personally led the army to inspect the camp. When he passed the camp where the villain was, the villain suddenly had an idea and ventured to the military commander Guo's team. He used the excuse that the villain picked up a letter bag on the road during the camp and wanted to ask the military commander Guo to take a look. Then he presented the letter bag to the guards beside Guo. Of course, the guards of Guo's guards did not dare to open the letter bag privately, so they presented the letter bag directly to Guo. After reading the letter, Guo's military commander took the excuse to ask me other confessions. He took me to his camp for questions."
After listening to Shi Yunfeng's explanation, Deputy Director Tao and Old Jia's poisonous creatures were stunned again. Because although this answer was a bit too coincidental, it was absolutely reasonable and it was possible to do it under normal circumstances. But the same thing is still the case. If it weren't for the big news from Yang Changshi, or if Deputy Director Tao really arranged for Shi Yunfeng to send a letter to Guo Tu, Deputy Director Tao might have accepted Shi Yunfeng's explanation, but at this moment, Deputy Director Tao did not dare to take it lightly. There are many coincidences in the world, but so many coincidences are so coincidental that people suspect it.
No matter how much doubt it is, it is useless. Before there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, Deputy Director Tao could neither believe Shi Yunfeng's explanation nor arbitrarily believe that Shi Yunfeng did not tell the truth. He turned his mind and turned it over and turned it over and said two thoughts, "Are you taking a gamble on luck? Or give up this opportunity and find another way to break the camp?"
"Lord, the hour of You is already half over." Chen Ying reminded carefully: "If the lord does not make any decision, our army will not have time to send troops to fight."
Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison and others were still hesitant, but there were many Xuzhou generals outside the tent. They looked at the situation of the big tent and were all surprised that Deputy Director Tao ordered the preparation of a night battle. Why was it almost time to update the tent and not promoted to the tent? As time passed quickly, Deputy Director Tao finally made up his mind and said gritting his teeth: "The Guandu camp is hard to break, we can only gamble this! We decided to send troops to meet Guo Tu!"
Old Jia was still a little worried about the poison, but Shi Yunfeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Tao said to Shi Yunfeng again: "Shi Yunfeng, if I remember correctly, what Yang Hong promised you is a reward of 20,000 yuan and Du Bo's official position? Go down to receive the reward, I will fulfill your promise for him. Come on, take Shi Yunfeng down to receive the reward."
"Thank you for your reward." Shi Yunfeng bowed happily and muttered in his heart: "Now, there is only the only way to escape from the Xuzhou thief camp. General Guo Suo said that he would bear all the guilt he had done alone. To be safe, it would be better to find a way to run away early."
"You deserve it." Deputy Director Tao waved his hand generously and said: "You have just come from Yuan Tan, familiar with the camp, and are ready to go with our army to lead the way to attack the camp. After the matter is completed, you will receive a heavy reward."
"Thank you, lord, I am willing to lead the way for you." Shi Yunfeng kowtowed happily.
"By the way." Deputy Director Tao asked casually again: "Is Military Advisor Zhuge's foot injured better?"
"I've been bleeding for a long time." Shi Yunfeng replied casually: "But the arrow shot into the military advisor's feet joint, and his legs and feet will never be well."
Deputy Director Tao smiled, Jia Lao Poison, Liu Ye, Xun Chen and Shi Yi laughed together, making Shi Yunfeng stunned at first, and then suddenly woke up. Shi Yunfeng's face suddenly turned like earth, and sweat as big as beans suddenly flowed over Shi Yunfeng's forehead. The Xuzhou guards on both sides rushed forward in unison, clamping Shi Yunfeng in the middle.
"Shi Yunfeng, aren't you a soldier in Peng'an's camp? How could you be so familiar with Zhuge Liang's situation?" Deputy Director Tao asked slowly: "Did you say that you have met the military advisor Zhuge?"
"It should not be seen only." Jia Lao Poison also smiled gently and said, "From your tone, you should still be a soldier under Uncle Liu, right?"
Shi Yunfeng completely collapsed on the ground, trembling a hundred times more severe than Yang Changshi. Deputy Director Tao smiled and said, "I always thought that it was Zhuge Liang's bad idea for you. I didn't expect that there was another layer behind this. You are not a soldier in Jizhou at all, but a soldier in Xinye Army in Jizhou."
Speaking of this with a smile, Deputy Director Tao suddenly slapped the case in front of him and shouted: "Tell me, what is your identity? What is your relationship with Zhuge Villageman?!"
Shi Yunfeng continued to tremble, hesitating and did not dare to make up his mind, but Deputy Director Tao slapped the case and shouted: "Drag on and use torture, and beat him until he honestly confesses!"
"No!" The guards in the tent agreed, and the two guards dragged Shi Yunfeng up and left. When things came to this point, the smart Shi Yunfeng knew that they were doomed. In order to survive and not suffer from flesh and blood, Shi Yunfeng could only struggle and shout: "Emister, I will, I will! I am indeed not a soldier of Jizhou Army, I am Zhuge Liang's personal soldier, and I am Zhuge Liang's personal soldier. Yesterday, I also listened to Zhuge Liang's arrangement and deliberately captured by you......"
After hearing the truth that Shi Yunfeng was crying, Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison and others were speechless, and they suddenly burst into cold sweat. They never dreamed that Zhuge Liang would judge the next rough action of his army from a little clues, and arranged such a clever plan to spy on the secrets of his army. If it weren't for Yang Changshi's head suddenly flooding, he accidentally inserted a quarrel. He used his invincible and mentally retarded aura to confuse Zhuge Liang's judgment. He seduced Zhuge Liang to take the initiative. The Xuzhou army would have to suffer a big loss this time!
After being shocked, Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison and others gradually grinned. Because Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poison were both very qingchu, in front of a master of Zhuge Liang's level, it was harder to know his plan in advance than to hit Zhuge Liang's intact leg with just one arrow on a mountain thousands of steps away! But this time, the arrow that Yang Changshi shot randomly, but it hit.
"Tak up this Shi Yunfeng, take down the State Council Guo, and take care of him together. I will still be useful in the future." Deputy Director Tao ordered with a smile: "Also, take Yang Hong and Li Lang out, deal with it another day, and then whistle the trumpet and raise the tent, summoning all generals to the camp to receive orders."
………………………………………
At the same time, in the Yuan Tan army camp, in the central tent of Yuan Tan's army, Yuan Tan's son had already begun to mobilize troops and arrange ambush with the assistance of Cui Yan, Liu Huangshu and Zhuge Liang.
"Jihou, the envoy Tao, was suspicious and always cautious. If you want to expect him to lead the army into our camp, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky." Zhuge Liang said confidently: "Liang can conclude that even if the envoy Tao leads the army personally, the former army must enter the camp when the war begins, and leads the rear army to support outside the camp. Therefore, our army must not only arrange ambushings in the front camp. One must also arrange an ambush on the left and right sides of the main camp. When the ambushing in the camp is launched, the ambushings on both wings will also come out at the same time. Attacking the soldiers outside the camp of Tao will surely win a great victory!"
"Lord, what Mr. Kong Ming said is very true. Tao Ying was famously cunning and suspicious. In this way, the entire army would definitely not immediately enter our military camp. We should also arrange ambush outside the camp to attack his soldiers outside the camp." Cui Yan nodded and agreed.
Mr. Yuan Tan nodded with satisfaction and accepted the suggestion put forward by Zhuge Liang and Cui Yan. Zhuge Liang said again: "Jihou, Liang suggested that the lord Liu Huangshu and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lead the army to ambush outside the camp. The two generals Guan and Zhang both have the courage to be inappropriate. Taking the general's head in the chaos is like taking objects. If it goes well, maybe there is another assault to take down the head of the envoy Tao envoy!"
"Okay!" Yuan Tan applauded and smiled at Uncle Liu, "Uncle Emperor, I ambushing outside the camp, please ask you and the two generals Guan and Zhang?"
"Dare not obeying." Uncle Liu smiled and bowed.
"Jihou, to be safe, our army must keep a backup plan." Zhuge Liang said again: "Jihou must arrange another army to ambush the far flank of the camp. After the war begins, this army can directly attack the Xuzhou camp and attack the flank of the Xuzhou camp. This can not only restrain the Xuzhou rescue army, but also panic the enemy's mind. Although the camp cannot be obtained, it can win a complete victory!"
"The trick is a clever plan." Mr. Yuan Tan hesitated a little, "But in this way, our army's main forces basically have to be dispatched. If the field battle is unfavorable, even if we want to stick to the camp, our troops will be..."
"Jihou, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile: "If Jihou did not take the risk of dispatching a large army, how can he defeat the tiger and wolf army of envoy Tao? How can he muster up the fighting courage of Liu envoy in Jingzhou and rescue Jihou with all his strength?"
Mr. Yuan Tan's lips moved a few times. Seeing that Cui Yan and Guo Tu did not object, he nodded and said, "Okay, let me follow Mr. Kong Ming's clever plan and let my second brother Yuan Xi lead this surprise soldier to sneak attack the pottery camp!"
"Thank you for your trust in Jihou." Zhuge Liang bowed and thanked him solemnly: "In this battle, Liang will not disappoint Jihou."
Chapter completed!
