Chapter 174: The Great Temptation
Chapter 174: Huge Temptation
"Ship Fu, do you know my life experience?" Luan Bu asked in surprise. You know, Luan Bu's family is poor, and his ancestors are not a prominent family. When he was young, he was forcibly kidnapped to Yan land and became a slave. It was not until later that Luan Bu regained his freedom because of his revenge for his protagonist.
Fu Ge glanced over Luan Bu with a sincere face and said lightly: "I not only know General Luan's origin, but I also know that General Luan and General Peng Yue are still close friends. If they had not trusted the general, Peng Yue would not have sent you to take on such a difficult task."
"Shi Shuai Fu is very wise and knows people and responsibilities. He is really a hero of the world. When I was in Guandong, Luan Bu also met Han Guang, Zang Tu, Wei Bao and other people who dominate the country. But compared with Shuai Fu, these people are really not considered great heroes?" Luan Bu said in a conscientious manner.
Luan Bu said this, which made Fu Ge feel embarrassed. Although he made his fortune by "The Book of Heaven", he also wanted people to respect him, especially those who left a mark in history, who were admired by Luan Bu, it was not because of the "forewakening" now.
A real man leaves his name in history. If he makes a name for himself by plagiarism, wouldn’t it be sad!
"General Luan, what is the situation of General Peng Yue now? Is there any important military information for you this time?" Han Xin, who heard Fu Ge and Luan Bu met with each other, was worried about the noise and was anxious to defeat the enemy, couldn't help but ask.
"This is General Han Xin. We have met in Xiang Yu's army in the past. Shuai Fu, this is a handwritten letter brought by General Peng Yue. Please check it out!" Luan Bu said as he tore open the inner side of his clothes and took out a folded small soap piece from the inner seam.
Luan Bu and Han Xin were not really the first to know each other. Just when Xiang Yu led the coalition forces of the princes to attack Jiyuan, Luan Bu, who was already the commander of Yan Zang Tu, also joined the anti-Qin coalition forces with the army. At that time, Han Xin was still the halberd-holding doctor of Xiang Yu's central army. Although they belonged to Chu and Yan, they finally joined forces to fight against Qin in name.
In the autumn of September of the early years of the New Yuan Dynasty of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Guandong princes coalition, which was claimed to be 400,000, was defeated by the Qin army led by Han Xin at Hangu Pass. Luan Bu was also among them at that time. However, afterwards, Luan Bu did not follow Zang Tu to turn back to Yan land, but unexpectedly joined the army of Peng Yue, a young friend who was operating in the Bashu area.
The intrigue among the princes for selfish interests made Luan Bu feel tired. For a grassroots general like Luan Bu who was born in a poor family and was eager to gain opportunities for his own efforts, Zang Tu, who was mediocre, was not a good "leader".
"Ship Fu, what did General Peng Yue say in his letter?" Seeing Fu Ge's expression becoming more and more serious, Han Xin asked.
"Liu Bang's army has already shown signs of concluding the Yonekura Road. It seems that he is going to attack Bashu!" Fu Ge sighed lightly and handed Peng Yue's letter to Han Xin.
"Hanzhong encountered a natural disaster and Liu Bang's army was short of food. This is great! Fu Shuai, our army has a chance to break the enemy." Han Xin stared at the small letter, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
How to defeat the enemy?
According to the reliable information sent back by interludes during this period, since the defeat of Lantian Pass, although Liu Bang's Western Expedition Army was weakened, his strength has been reduced from more than 100,000 to about 60,000, but the combat power of the 60,000 Han army is not weaker than that of the 100,000. Liu Bang also learned the lessons of the last failure. The little princes who were originally associated with Liu Bang's hope to follow Xianyang for a glorious scenery have been almost annexed by him.
Just now, Ren Fuge thought about it and did not see any connection between the shortage of food in Hanzhong and the military operations in South and Hanzhong. Han Xin only looked at Peng Yue's letter and discovered the weakness of the Han army at a glance. This may be the biggest difference between innate talents and acquired plagiarism?
"Let me tell you?"
"Ship Fu, look at the map. There are about 20,000 Han troops guarding Baoxie Road, and there are no less than 10,000 troops guarding Wuguan Road. In addition, the guard forces stationed at various passes, the mobile forces that Liu Bang can take out will not exceed 20,000. Now, according to General Peng Yue, Liu Bang is forming an army to plan for Bashu. As long as General Peng Yue can restrain the Han army, the Han army will have almost no mobile power. Taking this opportunity, our army can make a big blow in Baoxie Road.
Build a plank road and show signs of attacking and seizing Hanzhong. On the other side, on the Chencang Road, the ancient road was placed on the Guanzhong and the Longyou area, thinking that the Han army was short of food at this time, and the soldiers in the army were panicked. Seeing that there was food near in front of us, how could we not be enterprising? As long as they abandoned the pass and rushed to rob the grain, our army could wipe it out in one fell swoop. Then, our army advanced quickly along the Chencang Road. By then, even if Liu Bang noticed the troops to fight, our army would no longer be afraid!"
Han Xin talked with emotion and was full of energy. Although his plan was different from the plan of "building a plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly", it was similar. He could find a complete set of military ideas from the information of food shortage in Hanzhong. Among the important generals around Fu Ge, only Han Xin had the ability to stand alone.
"General, please consider one thing. If the Han army attacked Chen Cang with one light army and most of them stood on the pass, what would it do?" Fu Ge pointed at Chen Cang's black circle with his finger and asked.
After learning from one's mistakes, Liu Bang is not the kind of barbarian who is impulsive and unthinking when encountering troubles. In fact, this Pei Gong, who is of the same age as an elder, is quite cunning. Although Zhang Liang is no longer around Liu Bang, there are also talented subordinates such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, Lu Jia, and Zhang Cang. They can set up heavy troops on Baoxi Road and leave powerful generals to guard the Chencang Road.
"Ship Fu, Xin thought: If the enemy escaped with light troops, I would lure them with a little food to save them, and the army would continue to hold on to the right time." Han Xin said in a deep voice.
Attracting the enemy requires a price to be paid, at least the bait must be sufficient. According to Han Xin's proposal, when a small unit of the Han army attacks, the Qin army can act in panic and pretend to be unprepared and allow the Han army to rob or store the accumulated food and fodder. Of course, the food and fodder that were robbed by the Han army will not be more, and basically only meet the needs of the Han army's light army to consume back and forth. If the Han army continues to lure it once, twice, and three times, the Han army will inevitably become more and more courageous when seeing that the Qin army is not prepared. In order to obtain more food and fodder to supplement the shortage of the army, the Han general who guards the pass will definitely send a large group of troops to attack under pressure. At that time, the Qin army will wait for an opportunity to sneak out and cut off the Han army's return in one fell swoop. In this way, the Chen Cang Road will be over.
"So, does the general need me to do something now?" The war is imminent, and Fu Ge is so relaxed and at ease. In the past, he had to search for his heart whenever he was in a battle and had to rack his brains to plan how to win. But someone had already helped him with the plan, and he did it better than himself. When such a good thing fell on his head, Fu Ge finally realized that he would be so happy to employ people.
"Fu Shuai, if you have confidence in me, then go back to Xianyang to enjoy your newlywed life!" Han Xin laughed loudly, and the gloom on his face was swept away.
"Okay, I'm not polite to this. Thanks to your reminder, I remembered that I was about to become the father of two children!" Fu Ge smiled knowingly and said loudly.
Newlywed life - If a prominent figure like Fu Ge disappeared in Xianyang for too long, it would attract the attention of many parties. Since Fu Ge could be in Hanzhong, then Liu Bang would also send his secret to Guanzhong. Fu Ge had no doubt that every public appearance in Xianyang, every move, every word and action he made through the information of these people, would soon become a detailed text on the case of Xiao He, the general manager of Nanzheng.
Spy war is another battlefield that is hidden in the dark.
In many cases, people fighting on this front pay more than soldiers on the real battlefield.
Looking at the bamboo slips with inter-coded names written in their hands, Sima Liang's eyes gradually turned red.
Eighty-two names, eighty-two lives, and eighty-two excellent spies, just in the past two months, Jiang is still very old, and Xiao He seems to be using the method of "silence" to tell his opponent that Hanzhong is not a place for intercourse activities.
"Sima, don't be sad. This battle is imminent. You must take care of yourself!" After returning from Chen Cang, Fu Ge's life was easy and happy on the surface, as if he was completely immersed in the joy of his children's love and was unwilling to make progress. But behind these appearances, he did not relax his attention to the situation on the battlefield for a moment.
On April 19, the second year of Xinyuan, the Great Qin Dynasty, more than 700 light soldiers of the Han army attacked the north along the old road, and looted a Qin village more than ten miles west of Chencang and killed more than dozens of villagers. On the 25th, more than 1,500 Han army attacked a Qin army, attacked a Qin grain transport unit, and robbed dozens of loads of military rations. On the 27th, the Han army dispatched another 2,000 soldiers to the Chencang Road, and this time they were a little proud. They went deeper into the north of the Qinling Mountains and rushed past Chencang City with great swagger.
The Han army was deceived!
After receiving these news, Fu Ge couldn't help but be ecstatic. The Prime Minister of Qin was looking for fun in Xianyang. The Qin army was rebuilding the Baoxia Road. Peng Yue's tenacious resistance in the Bashu area of these pre-destined "important information" completely attracted Liu Bang's attention. He relaxed his attention to Chen Cangdao. At present, this series of small-scale harassment was obviously just the private actions of the Han army generals guarding the Chen Cangdao intersection. When facing the repeated "carelessness" of the Qin army, which general could withstand the huge temptation that was within his reach?
