Chapter 59 Sun Cao's Combined Forces Breaking Liu Bei Nan Ye's Appointment to Sun Quan 9
Zhou Yu and Guan Yu both mobilized soldiers and horses under Ye City to build equipment. In addition to the newly transferred 30,000 horses to ambush, Zhou Yu reduced 10,000 troops from the besieged city, and Guan Yu reduced 20,000 troops to ambushed together. In this way, the total number of besieged soldiers is still 70,000, including 40,000 by Zhou Yu and 30,000 Guan Yu. There were 60,000 soldiers and horses ambushed on the border between the two states of Bing and Hebei, and 30,000 each in the Eastern Wu and Northern Han dynasties, respectively, commanded by Jiang Qin and Xun Chen.
Guan Yu did not know that Zhou Yu secretly sent messengers to inform Sun Quan, Cao Pi and Sima Yi of his every move. Cao Pi knew that the Eastern Wu army and horses outside the city were one with him. Of course, he would not send people to Bingzhou to call back Sima Yi's army. Sima Yi's army dragged Liu Bei to the death of people in Bingzhou and Yuzhou, and naturally he would not retreat. Sun Quan was overjoyed by Zhou Yu's news and gathered Wenwu to discuss the dispatch of troops.
Sun Quan said to the generals: "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were transferred to the two states of Bing and Ji, and Yuzhou and Yanzhou were empty. If I want to take Yuzhou, how about capture Liu Bei?
Zhang Zhao said, "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan! If Liu Bei captured the Northern Han Dynasty without a leader, his army was in chaos. It is effortless to take Yanzhou and Bingzhou again.
Lu Su objected, saying, "Liu Bei and Xiaoxiong! When will he be captured when he escapes in his life? What's more, Liu Bei has been operating in Yuzhou for many years. How can he not keep his troops to protect his foundation? In my opinion, we should take Yanzhou first, and then work with the governor to eliminate the customs and Zhang Er generals, and remove their wings. Liu Bei is not afraid!"
Lv Meng saw that Sun Quan was hesitant and said, "Your Majesty thinks that if you want to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, what is the first priority?"
Sun Quan thought for a moment and said, "The tiger will leave and attack the mountain. If the attack is early, the tiger will not leave, and if the attack is late, the tiger will return.
Lv Meng said, "Your Majesty said it very much! Now that the hungry tiger has left the mountain, Your Majesty should fight quickly and don't wait for the tiger to return. Xuchang has Liu Bei and a group of civil and military guards to defend the city, no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are Thunderbolt cars at the head of the city, which is by no means available for a while. If the siege lasts for a long time, Liu Bei can not only order Guan Yu to return to the army, but also ask for help from Nanye. Yuzhou is not available. On the other hand, there is only an Iraqi literati guarding the city, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou. Your Majesty can decide to fight first and then make a good plan.
Sun Quan laughed and said, "I wanted to take Yanzhou, but my foreword specially tried to listen to all of you. Lv Aiqing can get it for me quickly.
Lv Meng received Sun Quan's order and led the four generals Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi and Zhu Ran, and raised 50,000 troops across Xuzhou to Yanzhou. After making an excuse, people came to visit Malaysia: "On the boundary of Yanzhou, 20 miles, or 30 miles, there are beacons in Gaofu."
It turned out that Guan Yu guarded Yanzhou and saw that the land was vast and sparsely populated, and in the bag of Cao Pi and Sun Quan, he set up a beacon to spread the news, so as not to realize that the army would not cross the border. This is the right time to come in handy.
Lv Meng saw that the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou had been prepared for a long time. At that time, he was shocked and said, "If so, it will be difficult to do it!" I still said that I was fast in front of your majesty. What should I do now?
Pan Zhang, Dong Xi and other generals also had no choice but to camp for the time being and secretly observe whether the soldiers guarding the beacon were relaxed. The next day, Lv Meng went out to watch the camp and saw a group of about 1,000 people passing under the beacon. Instead of asking questions, the guards also greeted them.
Lv Meng saw this strange situation and looked carefully and found that the team of people and horses were all dressed as businessmen, and among them, horsemen and knives were under the banner of Zhenyuan Dart Bureau. Lv Meng turned his mind and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do so.
After the sergeants disguised themselves as businessmen, all dressed in white. Another sergeant imitated the flag of the earthquake darts bureau and wore armor. Weapons, grain and grass are also transported by imitation dart trucks. Lv Meng, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Zhu Ran and Zhu Huan divided into five teams and passed under the five beacons.
The defenders of the Northern Han Dynasty on the beacon were puzzled when they saw a large group of people coming from Eastern Wu under the banner of the darts bureau. Although there are darts bureaus and Qianzhuang set up by Nanye in the Northern Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu, tens of thousands of caravans are rare. However, the rare does not mean that there is no. Although the guard was suspicious, he did not ignite the beacon, but came forward to interrogate.
Sergeant Wu replied, "We are all merchants, and there are many carriages and horses because several caravans gathered in one place." After saying that, he took the property and gave it to the soldiers guarding Taiwan.
The sergeant guarding Taiwan saw a variety of items offered by merchants, but it seemed that several caravans put together and believed what Wu Jun said. At this time, it was getting late, and Wu Jun camped under the beacon. At about the second update, the Wu army took out weapons from the dart cart and rushed up to tie down the officers on the beacon. All the sergeants guarding the platform were captured into the camp and never left.
Five beacons were lost at the same time, and a hundred-mile-long opening was opened at the Yanzhou border. Lv Meng waved his troops and drove forward and took Yanzhou, but no one was aware of it.
The Yanzhou Office is located in Changyi, and Yiji is guarded in the city. When he arrived in Changyi, Lv Meng called the captured soldiers to comfort them with good words, and then rewarded them one by one, so that he could earn the gate and set fire to them.
The guard has been worried since he was captured and doesn't know how Lv Meng fell. Now there is a chance to die and get rewards. Naturally, I am very cooperative. Although several loyal soldiers of Liu Bei were unwilling to cooperate, when they saw that most of the robes had defected to the enemy, they no longer insisted, so as not to die in vain.
Lv Meng subdued the army and ordered him to be the leader. In the middle of the night, the soldiers came to the city to call the door. The defenders recognized the soldiers of Yanzhou and knew that these soldiers were defending the Eastern Wu side, so they were unprepared to open the gate.
When the troops under the city saw the gate opening and shouting, they rushed to the entrance and set off a fire at the gate. Lv Meng saw the fire at the city gate and led the Wu army to enter Changyi. Yi Ji was defenseless in his dream and was also captured by Lv Meng. Once Changyi was lost, the whole territory of Yanzhou belonged to Eastern Wu.
After Lv Meng entered the city, he ordered the army: "If there is anyone who kills a person and takes a folk thing, he will march on military law. The former officials are still in their positions. Guan Yu's family should keep another house, don't disturb..."
Yanzhou was originally Cao Cao's territory. It was first obtained by Nan Ye and then taken over by Liu Bei. He has been numb to the changing king's flag in the city. Nowadays, Sun Quan's entry has not been disturbed, and people from all over the country have lived in peace without any rebound.
Lv Meng got Yanzhou and ordered people to inform Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, while appeasing the people to block the news, so as to prevent Guan Yu and Liu Bei from knowing that Dongwu turned against each other.
It rained heavily one day, and Lv Meng rode several times to look at the four doors. Suddenly, an Eastern Wu soldier took a folk hat to cover his armor. At that time, Lv Meng ordered him to hold it. He was from Lv Meng's hometown. Lv Meng said, "Although you are from the same hometown, the order has been issued. If you commit it, you should follow the military law."
The soldier cried and said, "The villain is afraid of rain and wet official armor, so it is not for private use. Please forgive the villain once!"
Lv Meng said, "I know that you are the official armor, but you should not take folk things after all." After saying his words, he pushed him down and cut him. After the scorpse was handed down, he collected his body and buried it with tears. As a result, the three armies were shocked, and no one dared to leak the news of Yanzhou.
