Chapter 92 Poison Bait
?
cpa300_4;Shouchang North Gate, about ten steps inside the gate city is a barrier wall piled up with bricks and wooden boards. Xu Shao, wearing armor, leaned against the wall and gasped. There were many corpses lying in front of the barrier wall, some were dressed in soldiers and more casual clothes, and the blood stains in the door hole were covered with corpses.

The casual man was a thief attacking the city gate. Just now, many chaos in the city were about to close the city gate and the group of people suddenly attacked him. After the two sides fought in close combat, the scene was in chaos, and a cavalry rushed out of the city to capture the gate.
In the emergency, Xu Shao, the son of the governor of Yuezhou, came with his men. While giving in the infantry to the city gate to reinforce, he asked someone to pile up obstacles about ten steps away from the city gate to prevent the cavalry from rushing into the city.
"Mr. Lang, that thief dare not enter the city." A general looked outside the city gate and said, "Doctors of cavalry were turning around in the wilderness outside the city. Just now, more than a dozen of them rushed past the city gate but encountered obstacles in front of the temporary low wall. They gave up entering the city as reinforcements had arrived.
Xu Shao just picked up his sword and took the lead in fighting and slashing the thieves who tried to cross the obstacles, and now he was a little weak. He signaled his generals to lead people to the door hole to clean up the bodies and then close the city gate. Only when the city gate was bolted can he be truly at ease.
Uncle Hao stood on the side with a bow and looked excitedly at the direction of the city gate. He led his guards to follow Xu Shao along the way, just in time for the fierce battle. Although he could not be called an archer, he also shot several people, especially a cavalry who had just rode his horse and was about to jump over the obstacle, he was looking at him and shot the urethra with an arrow and then threw it off in front of the horse and was finally killed by a random knife.
"Sizong, you have a good idea!" He looked at the temporarily piled barrier wall and praised it. This stuff piled up from broken vats, broken bricks and mixed wooden boards blocked the cavalry outside the door when the city gate could not be closed.
Xu Shao smiled and didn't reply. Just now, he led his guards to retreat the attacking thieves in the mansion with his father, and then rushed to the north gate with the assistance of Hao Wu Bo. After a fierce battle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The original excitement also fell and a sense of fatigue surged into his heart.
This idea was not thought of by his inspiration, but someone proposed it early in the morning. It was an idea proposed by Yuwen Wen at the discussion meeting of "My views on city sneak attacks and anti-sneak attacks". This idea was a bit ridiculous at the time, but now it proves that the effect is OK.
With the creaking sound, the door slowly closed. The body that was originally blocking the ground had been dragged away, and nothing could prevent the door from closing. After waiting for the door bolt, the crowd was relieved.
Xu Shao led the people to the top of the city. Looking up, he saw dozens of cavalrymen galloping southwest in the distance. The sound of drums came from behind him, which was a signal that the city gates had been closed. Xu Shao ordered people to beat the drums and let his father know that the north gate was closed.
"What are they going to do?" Hao Wu Bo looked at the movements of these cavalrymen. As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses: the west was heading towards Anlu. The other party seemed to be trying to intercept the people sent from the city there to inform the news.
Xu Shao looked to Anlu west and frowned. Xiaochang City is now safe, but what to do next is to say. Since Tian Kai, the governor of Chengyue County, brought people to assassinate his father, there is no doubt that Chengyue County fell into the opponent. In this way, there is a question of whether Baiyan Pass in the north of Chengyue County is still under control in Anzhou.
The guardian of Baiyan Pass is the confidant of the governor of Yuezhou, so there is little possibility that he himself will rebel, but this time the other party seems to have been planning for a long time, so it is unknown whether Baiyan Pass will be attacked or a mutiny will occur.
"If Baiyan Pass falls, Yuezhou will be uneasy..." Xu Shao murmured to himself as he looked outside the city.
......
Wuyang Pass, a large group of soldiers were advancing on the mountain road in front of the pass. Sima Yuchi Shun, the general manager of Anzhou, walked in the team thinking. A few days ago, he led the rear of the army to wait until the people of Pingyang moved south into the mountain road before retreating. Not long after, the cavalry of the Yuzhou army rushed to the city of Pingyang.
Pingyang City has been burned and left to the Yuzhou army with nothing but ruins. From planning the attack on Pingyang to taking down the city at night to migrating the people, everything went so smoothly that the entire army retreated into the mountains. It was so smooth that it made people a little uneasy.
Looking back on the whole process, Yuchi Shun seemed to have caught something and wanted to think about it carefully but couldn't figure it out. All the problems that could be thought of when the surprise attack were sent to the army had been considered and analyzed, so there should be no hidden dangers.
"Sima, the war is going well but the frowns are frowning, but what are you worried about?" asked a general. Yuchi Shun thought about it and asked where the people of Pingyang who had moved south had arrived. The other party said that he had arrived in Yingzhou safely after hearing the messenger's rumor.
Yongyang City, Yingzhou Prefecture, is the garrison of the Anzhou East Route Army and the gathering place for grain and grass transportation. Yuchishun attacked Pingyang and moved the people south to move south. In case he set up heavy troops in Yongyang to visit and guard Pingyang, the people also protected the grain and grass. Tens of thousands of troops were scattered in Wuyang Pass. The daily food and grass consumed by Pingjing Pass is very considerable, so Yongyang cannot be lost.
"Yongyang...the mountain road...the people..." Yuchi Shun muttered, and suddenly he remembered something more than 20 years ago: that year, the Liang royal family member Xiao Ji, who occupied Shu, proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, then went down the river to attack Jiangling, the new capital of Liang. His father Yuchi Ji was ordered to lead troops from Guanzhong to attack Yizhou and he also went out to war with him.
The army was divided into a group of people who walked through Pinglin and walked by the Liangjun Pass unexpectedly. At that time, he remembered that his father ordered the elite soldiers to change into civilian clothes and cross the mountains. On the way, no one thought that this was the enemy. After Pingping bypassed the pass, the elite soldiers directly attacked Tongzhou. At that time, the guards guarding Tongzhou thought that the main force of the enemy arrived and surrendered without resisting.
‘Impossible, many Yongyang defenders could not do it.’ Yuchi Shun thought of some possibility, but he still denied it himself. He could not make such a mistake, so even if someone infiltrated the people of Pingyang and came to Yongyang City, it would not cause any big waves.
Somehow he suddenly thought of another place: Anlu. If you walk south through Yuezhou and then westward to Anlu, you will be about 140 miles away. If you leave the mountain and go west to Yingzhou and turn southward to Anlu, it will be about 120 miles.
Anlu... It should be fine if you have the chief of the general manager and the chief guard. Besides, the suspicious son-in-law who has been suspicious all day long has led the army back to Anlu? This kid has made a good mansion very cautious and like a thief, I think he will also care about the city defense.
After thinking about it, Yuchi Shun thought about it but didn't expect any problem to turn back to his mind. When he thought of his son-in-law, he then thought of his daughter. He should have had a daughter, not a man or a woman. The son-in-law's newly acquired concubine robbed her husband and made her daughter anxious for the past few months.
I walked all the way and thought about it. I came not far from Wuyang Pass. There were soldiers urging the youth and strong men to repair the mountain road in front of the pass. There was a steep wall on the east side of the mountain road and a steep slope on the west side. A few days ago, a large group of people passed by, causing some collapse of the west side road, and in order to avoid further landslides, it was necessary to repair it in time.
Because the people of Pingyang passed through the pass before, the defenders recruited some young and strong men to repair the road. These were all men who had small families and had no problems in searching for them. After they had to repair the road, they were allowed to go south to reunite with their families.
In order to prevent the horses on the mountain road from suddenly being frightened and falling off the slope, the generals did not ride horses but walked, when they passed the construction site, they all leaned against the steep wall. While walking, several young and strong men threw their hoes and shouted: "You abuse me. I want to complain to Sima!"
Seeing this, the soldiers in charge cursed when they had abused you. Yuchi Shun frowned and stopped. He had ordered the soldiers not to abuse the people and the young and strong men who were recruited to work in the army and unexpectedly encountered the "evil deeds" on the spot. The generals following him came forward to stop the conflict and turned to Yuchi Shun and said, "What's the matter? Sima is so bold, right?"
His original intention was to let the soldiers know that the general manager Sima was right beside him, but as soon as he finished speaking, the young and strong men who were causing trouble suddenly rushed towards Yuchi Shun. Suddenly, many people couldn't react in time, and the guards who followed Yuchi Shun responded quickly in front of him. Several young and strong men even hugged the people blocking the road and jumped to the steep slope.
In an instant, the guards protecting Yuchi Shun were cleared. The remaining two young and strong men rushed up regardless of his sword. One of them was cut in half while the other did not avoid the blade and hugged his waist and then rolled towards the roadside. Everyone could not stop him and watched Yuchi Shun roll down the steep slope by the man.
......
Pingyang City is covered with ruins, and the general manager of Yuzhou Sima Huangfu Ji was very heartbroken when facing the devastation. A general came to him and reported that 90% of the houses in the city were damaged and that the city gates had been burned.
"The traitors in Anzhou are very skillful, not to mention that even a cat is not left behind." Another general sneered.
"There are nearly tens of thousands of households in Pingyang City. The thief is afraid that he will be overjoyed at this time." Huangfu Ji looked back at the direction of Tongbai Mountain, and then smiled slightly after a moment: "As the saying goes, extreme happiness leads to sadness, I want to see how you regret it!"
Huangfu Ji was sent to Anlu to make peace on behalf of the court in July last year. After shaking hands and having fun, the two sides won valuable time for the court. Huangfu Ji was promoted because Yuchi Jiong's pseudo-Zhou had always threatened the Bozhou General Administration, so he was later transferred there by Prime Minister Yang Jian.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the Bozhou General Administration worsened on his way to office, and he lost most prefectures and counties, and his position was cancelled. Later, he was transferred to the position of Sima, the general administrator of Yuzhou. In June this year, the war rekindled Anzhou and became a confidant of the General Administration of Yuzhou General Administration.
Bozhou in the eastern part of Yuzhou had fallen into the hands of the pseudo-Zhou, Yuchi Dun's army was entrenched in the north, Jingzhou General Administration in the west was swept by the Anzhou army, and the Anzhou army in the south was like a dagger to hit the abdomen of Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is attacked from all sides, with defenses on the east and south, and Jingzhou on the west side of Luoyang on the north, so the side division led by Yuchi Shun was greatly restricted from the deployment of Yuzhou's troops.
If you go south to attack, the mountain road is difficult and the terrain of the three passes of Yiyang is dangerous and it is difficult to capture it in a hurry. If you cannot attack, you have to arrange troops to defend it. It took more than a month to solve this problem. Huangfu Ji came up with a plan: to play hard to get.
Treat Pingyang as a bait and let the other party swallow it. This is a poisonous bait. The so-called poison is the soldiers who are mixed with the people. If the Anzhou army takes over Pingyang City, it will inevitably not be able to defend it. So it is almost inevitable that the city will be set on fire and the people will move south. Those soldiers who are mixed with the people will take the opportunity to enter the territory of Anzhou.
Things were going well, and the selected soldiers were infiltrated among the people in advance. Faced with the flaws that they deliberately exposed, the Anzhou army could not resist biting them and swallowed them into their stomachs.
"Since you have such a good appetite and swallow the poisonous bait, then wait for your intestines to rot!"
