Chapter 33 Cao Boss cheats death(2/2)
And if you put it there, it is not impossible to die suddenly from illness, but if you can't see, hear and ask, it's just a possibility and cannot be determined."
"Since we can't judge, let's just ignore it." Xun Chen suggested: "Ignore Zhang Liao's request to surrender. We would rather not take this opportunity to break through Hangu Pass quickly than risk the army."
"But what if Zhang Liao really comes to ask for surrender?" Deputy Director Tao asked: "Zhang Liao really comes to ask for surrender, but our army refuses. Who will dare to surrender to our army in the future?"
Xun Chen was speechless, and Liu Ye said: "If my lord does not want to miss this opportunity, then the safest way is to divide the troops into two teams. The former team will sneak attack Hangu Pass, and the rear team will respond in the open area outside the valley road.
If Zhang Liao's surrender is true, the rear troops can immediately join the battlefield; if Zhang Liao's surrender is false and the enemy indeed has an ambush, then the rear troops can immediately join the front troops to break out."
Liu Ye's suggestion was the most reasonable and reasonable. Since attacking Hangu Pass with force would inevitably involve paying a huge price, this arrangement that would neither miss the opportunity to break through the pass nor suffer heavy losses was undoubtedly the best choice. Therefore, Deputy Director Tao thought again and again.
Finally, he nodded and said: "Then let's do it like this?"
"Lord, no." Yang Zheng, the youngest and most junior person, quickly stood up and objected: "Although Uncle Liu's suggestion is sound, it will risk the lives of our soldiers after all. Hangu Pass Road
My lord, you have seen the situation with your own eyes. If the enemy blocked the narrow area with weapons such as rolling rocks and fallen trees, half of our troops who ventured into the valley would lose less than half."
"In your opinion, what should we do?" Deputy Director Tao asked Yang Zheng, who was ten years younger than him.
"There is a sentence in the certificate that can make the difference between life and death for Cao Mengde." Yang Zheng handed over his hand and said: "If the lord agrees, I am willing to send an envoy to Hanguguan to contact and negotiate with Cao's army, take the opportunity to peek at the enemy's situation, and try to get in touch with the senior brother's brother.
If it succeeds, not only will Cao Mengde's life and death be determined, but it will also be much easier for our army to break through Hangu Pass."
"Are you going to Hangu Pass as an envoy?" Deputy Director Tao was stunned, and then quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, the life and death of Thief Cao are unknown now. It's okay if he is not dead. You still have a chance to come back, but if he really dies,
Well, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu will at least detain you in Hangu Pass, and maybe even kill you with a knife."
Rejecting Yang Zheng's request, Deputy Director Tao added: "But your idea is good. I will arrange for another envoy to go to Hanguguan to test the enemy's situation on the pretext of delivering medicine to honor his father-in-law."
"My lord, forgive me, but I believe that I am the most suitable person for this job." Yang Zheng insisted: "There are two reasons. One is that Cao Mengde has always been deceitful, and people like Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are not good at it. If Cao Mengde is really using
If we deceive the enemy and our envoys enter the pass, they will only be misled even more. I ask myself if I am not stupid. Cao Mengde and the others want to deceive me, but it will never be as easy as deceiving others."
"Second, the matter of Brother A Yi must be kept secret." Yang Zheng added: "In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, my lord is not allowed to mention their names even if they are waiting in the Chinese army's tent to discuss military affairs.
The elder brother said that if another envoy was sent to the pass to contact him, not only would the secret be leaked, but Ayi's brother would never dare to be exposed easily, and he would trust the envoy of our army who did not know his origin. Only the minister went to Hangu Pass, and Ayi
Only then can my brother immediately understand that I can be trusted, understand my true intentions immediately, and try his best to get in touch with me."
"That makes sense." Deputy Director Tao still hesitated and said, "But your father's reputation is too great, and you also made a name for yourself in the Chaisang War. The enemy will definitely take you very seriously.
