After Yang Hu was released, he immediately gathered the remaining troops, including Hu.
In the last battle, the opponent took advantage of the situation and directly took over the camp. In terms of battle losses, only a few hundred people were lost.
Moreover, before Yang Hu led the troops, he had a mountain of military orders, so this time he was defeated but not defeated. However, even so, it is almost impossible to attack the city rashly.
After careful consideration, Yang Hu decided to withdraw the besieging troops and retreat ten miles to set up camp. He decided to hold on for the time being, waiting for reinforcements.
Yang Hu also knew that although the troops in Yunyi City were no less than what he had on hand, there were no reinforcements.
Moreover, the food and grass in the city are limited. After a little reorganization, he can wait for work. By then, if it is trapped for another year and a half, Yunyi will be able to destroy itself without any attack.
However, after being captured last time, Yang Hu seemed to have more worries in his heart.
Just because he passed the words of Li Ran, Confucius and others, there was a hint of coolness behind them.
Yes, no matter what, the Ji family is a minister and the Marquis of Lu is a king. How can there be any reason in this world to use a minister to attack a king?
To put it bluntly, if Marquis Lu really died in his own hands, would he directly become the abandoned son of his master Ji Sun Yiru in the future?
By then, he, Ji Sun Yiru, would directly pin all the charges of regicide on himself, so what should he do?
Therefore, thinking of these, it was the first time that Yang Hu had doubts about his future and the order of the family leader.
Of course, he didn't want to be blamed for this inexplicably, even though this was probably what his master, Ji Sun Yiru, meant.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he became more worried. He knew that Lu Houchou could never die in his own hands.
Therefore, for him, if he can force Yun Yi to defeat himself without attacking, and he can naturally win Yun Yi, this is the most perfect ending now.
However, how easy is it to achieve this goal?
Therefore, now that he has gathered his troops in one place, he is not worried that Lu Houchou will take the opportunity to escape. In fact, this has become his goal.
…
Soon, Yunyi also received information about Yang Hu's retreat.
After hearing this report, Tian Ruoju first spoke at the meeting in the camp:
"Very good! We can take advantage of the fact that Yang Hu's reinforcements have not arrived and our footing is not yet stable to attack the enemy camp at night!"
"Yang Hu retreated and gathered his troops in one place, thinking that he was impregnable. Moreover, he had just been captured once, so he must have known that our army was tired, so he must not have put up any defenses. And we can take this opportunity to hit him again. Caught off guard!"
When Sun Wu heard this, he also nodded and said:
"Well, it's true. Now Yanghu has two camps, the inner and outer. The inner camp is strong and the outer camp is weak. Maybe he can use another move to attack the east and attack the west, and attack his outer camp to lure his inner army to fight!"
Tian Juju's eyes lit up, and he was deeply delighted to face this outstanding young student. He couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and said with a smile:
"Wonderful, then we will attack the opponent's outer camp tonight as a pretext, and then we will lead most of the troops to attack the Yanghu inner camp!"
Han Buxin was smart enough to understand immediately, and then he couldn't help but ask:
"If that's the case, then it's scheduled for tonight?"
Tian Ruoju originally wanted to take action tonight, but after all, not all of his soldiers were here, and it was difficult for him to make up his mind, so he did not speak directly at this moment.
Sun Wu saw Tian Ruoju's concerns at a glance and said immediately:
"We who are in the army are most afraid of not being able to work together. Sir Sima, in terms of seniority, military exploits, and age, the commander-in-chief here must be you. I hope Sir Sima will not refuse! Please give the order!"
It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers in Yunyi were a mixed bag. There were defenders from Qi, people from Yunyi, private soldiers from Tian Rangju, and Han Buxin's garrison. So, without a clear head coach, this is indeed a problem.
Tian Juanju was indeed the oldest. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Ran again.
Li Ran also smiled calmly and said:
"Old General Tian will do his duty, there is no need to be too humble."
Hearing this, Tian Ranju also smiled slightly:
"Haha, in this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful! As the saying goes, "The general's heart is the heart, the people's heart is the heart. Horses, oxen, chariots, soldiers, and strength are all. Teaching is only about hesitation, and fighting is about integrity. Generals , Shen also, Pawn, Branch, Wu, refers to Mu." For all soldiers, only proper coordination is the key to victory. "
(The will of the general and the will of the soldiers must be unified. Horses, cattle and other animals as well as soldiers need to be well fed and well rested. Vehicles and weapons must be properly maintained. Only in this way can we have combat strength. Training is focused on peacetime, and combat is focused on command. A general is like The human trunk is like a person's limbs, and the fingers are like a person's fingers. They must be coordinated in order to be commanded and used freely.)
Therefore, Tian Ruju immediately issued a military order to let the soldiers rest immediately and cancel the afternoon training. Prepare to start the stove at You hour, set off at Xu hour, and attack Yanghu at night!
In addition, Han Buxin was secretly ordered to take charge of the main attack at night. And Han Buxin didn't care about his status as a noble, and actually ate and lived with his soldiers to boost their morale.
Tian Ju was also afraid that Han Buxin would lead few men, so he allocated some of his private troops and temporarily placed them under Han Buxin's control. At the same time, the Yunyi garrison led by Sun Wu himself was sent to serve as the outer sheep attack.
As night fell, Sun Wu was the first to lead his soldiers out of the city, and then Han Buxin and Tian Rangju also sneaked out one after another.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and in the darkness, he silently walks towards the enemy camp.
Sun Wu's army itself was a sheep attack, so there was not much to hide during the march.
The important thing is that Han Buxin and Tian Ruju's army, when they approached, each of them bit a branch to avoid being frightened and making noise in the dark night.
Because the terrain is relatively flat, Yang Hu's camp is surrounded by a "square camp". The so-called square camp, as the name suggests, is a camp that looks similar to a square in appearance. The most important main force is in the middle of the square camp, and then in sequence Spread outward, from heavy to light.
Moreover, the more elite soldiers are distributed on the periphery of the inner camp. In this way, even if there is a night attack, the most elite troops of the main force will have enough time to prepare for the battle, because these elite soldiers can also withstand an attack. .
Han Buxin led his troops into an ambush, while Tian Ruoju went around to the back, preparing to set fire to Yang Hu's food and baggage.
As soon as Xu Shi arrived, I heard that Sun Wu was launching a night attack with great fanfare. But seeing a burst of fire shoot out, Ji's outer camp suddenly burst into flames.
Yang Hu got his reward, but he didn't take it seriously. He only ordered people to stabilize the situation, but did not send troops to rescue him. After all, Yang Hu also expected that this might be Sun Wu and others' plan to divide the troops.
Speaking of Yang Hu, he was quite knowledgeable, and he could see the clues at a glance.
At this time, it was rumored that the grain and grass baggage behind them was also on fire. When Yang Hu saw this, he still snorted coldly:
"Sure enough, this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. How can I, Yang Hu, be fooled by such a small plan?"
Yang Hu still sat firmly in the tent and didn't seem to be panicked. And as the coach, as long as he doesn't panic, there will be no chaos below.
Han Buxin saw that the enemy's inner camp was not making any big moves, so he delayed his attack.
At this time, Yang Hu repeatedly received reports, saying that the enemy camp seemed to be the main force of the enemy. If they were delayed for a moment, they might not be able to withstand it!
——
Chapter 527_Two Zongyang Tiger
Tian Ruoju led his troops around and burned Yang Hu's food and baggage, but pretended to retreat, as if their purpose was just to burn a handful of food and grass.
At this moment, Yang Hu couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was. Did the other party really want to cut off his food supply?
Yang Hu couldn't help but feel guilty. In fact, not only was Yang Hu in trouble, but most of his soldiers also didn't know what was going on. But seeing that General Yang Hu was also hesitant, he didn't dare to ask again.
On the other side, the strength of Yanghu's outer camp was not as good as that of the inner camp, so under Sun Wu's all-out attack
, the soldiers stationed in the outer camp simply couldn't resist.
As a result, Sun Wu successfully captured one side of the outer camp, and immediately used the war drums in his camp to beat five long and three short drums.
This is exactly the message of victory that is conveyed to the outside world.
When a good general uses troops, there must be reality within the imaginary, and emptiness within the reality.
Although Sun Wu's attack on the outer camp was a false move, they also knew that Yang Hu might not be easily fooled. So naturally, Sun Wu's empty hand turned into a real move.
Although the outer camp is not very important in the entire battle situation, losing the outer camp so easily is obviously a huge blow to morale.
Hearing that there was a loss in the outer camp, Yang Hu was furious and immediately ordered his troops, vowing to take back that outer camp.
At this time, Han Buxin also heard the sound of the drums and knew that the outer camp had succeeded directly, so he immediately ordered his people to spit out the branches in his mouth, and suddenly shouted to kill, and rushed towards them. Tian Juanju actually didn't retreat far. When he heard the sound of the drum, he turned around and came back directly to kill him.
Sun Wu occupied the outer camp and did not stop too much. He immediately reorganized his formation and ordered to attack Yanghu's main camp directly.
As a result, Yang Hu was surrounded by enemies on three sides, his food and grass were robbed, his outer camp was lost, and news of various defeats suddenly came to him.
The morale of the soldiers suddenly fell to the bottom, and they could no longer resist. Yang Hu put on his uniform and wanted to run around at night. However, his figure was so tall and the flames of war were raging, just like it was daytime. He was quickly discovered by Tian Ruoju.
It can be said that Tian Ranju almost single-handedly defeated the Jin-Yan coalition forces and recaptured Acheng and Zhencheng, as well as the area on the south bank of the Yellow River. His reputation was so great that it was known to the world.
Although Tian Ruoju is nearly sixty years old now, he still has a bright gaze. I saw him running straight towards Yang Hu. Although Yang Hu was young and powerful, he couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw Tian Rang Ju.
Yang Hu only wanted to escape, but was entangled by Tian Juanju. Once they fought, Yang Hu discovered that although Tian Juanju was old, his arm strength was still extremely heavy. For a while, I couldn't get even half a cent.
After such a delay, Han Buxin and Sun Wu also rushed to kill after hearing the news. Yang Hu knew that the situation was over, his face was ashen, and he raised his sword, actually intending to draw his sword and kill himself. Sun Wu had quick eyes and quick hands, and stepped forward to hold his sword.
Yang Hu looked around, feeling disheartened and said secretly:
"I, Yang Hu, have been captured once by you, and now I have been captured again. I no longer have the dignity to live in this world! Now I have no choice but to destroy myself here to repay the kindness of the family master!"
Sun Wu shook his head and said:
"Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Today you were defeated at the hands of Tian Sima. It can be regarded as a well-earned defeat. Why should you seek short-term consequences?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
The sheep pretended to be ready to be captured, but Sun Wu was about to let go. Who would have thought that Yang Hu would raise his sword to commit suicide again!
When Sun Wu saw this, he couldn't help but knocked his sword to the ground.
"You have no face to see people! You have no face to see people!"
Yang Hu glanced at Tian Ranju again and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I think Yang Hu is also a dignified Ji family leader, and he can be regarded as both civil and military. Now he is being humiliated frequently, how can he endure it?
When Yang Hu was escorted to Yunyi City again, Li Ran looked at Yang Hu and asked calmly:
"Yang Hu, are you still convinced today?"
"Hmph! What's there to be convinced of? You just took advantage of me, Yang, who was just released and didn't have time to rectify my defenses, and suddenly caught me off guard. If you have the ability, let me go again!"
"Haha, okay! If that's the case, let me let you go again! However, you have been tired after a long night, so you must be hungry too? Why don't you eat something before leaving?"
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
However, thinking that Ji's reinforcements were about to arrive, even killing Yang Hu would not help, so he didn't say anything more.
In fact, Li Ran had other considerations at this moment.
The reason why he wanted to catch and release Yang Hu was because he understood very well the principle of "attacking the heart first".
But Yang Hu knew that he was now a turtle in a urn, so he simply "left it dead".
Since you want him to eat and go, then eat!
Li Ran specially ordered people to prepare food and drinks, but Yang Hu had no worries and started eating and drinking directly.
And Li Ran was not idle at this time. While he was eating and drinking, Li Ran lost no time in trying to brainwash him:
"Yang Hu, when you were captured last time, I asked you, what should I do if my master is a virtuous one? What if he is an unworthy one? You didn't have an answer that day, but I wonder if you have an answer today?"
"The head of the family doesn't dare to interfere in state affairs, Li Ziming, I know you have a sharp tongue, so don't talk to me again!"
Yang Hu seemed to have no scruples, just munching on the roast chicken.
At this time, Confucius also spoke:
"Back then, when Nan Kuai came out of the Ji family, there was a saying: "The retainers are for the emperor, so there are people!" The meaning is that the retainers are not unable to comment on state affairs, but they must observe the person. It's just a pity that Nan Kuai is not the person, nor is it within his power! "
Yang Hu glanced sideways at Kongqiu who was standing aside, and still replied with great disdain:
"Hmph! Kong Zhongni, I think you have always considered yourself a scholar. It's just that you didn't know etiquette when you were young, but later you secretly met with Nan Kuai and tempted him to rebel against the Ji family. Can such behavior be regarded as knowing etiquette?"
When Confucius heard this, he had nothing to say for a while. Mainly because Yang Hu's words hit the point directly.
It is undeniable that as far as Confucius is concerned, he was indeed extremely conflicted deep in his heart.
On the one hand, he certainly hopes to use the power of his retainers to realize his ideal of "restoring rites." But on the other hand, the behavior of retainers who rebel against their master is indeed inconsistent with etiquette and justice.
When Yang Hu saw that Confucius was silent, he knew that he was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"Li Ziming, you are wasting your efforts. Yang is not Nankui, how can you be easily persuaded? Yang still advises you not to say more."
Li Ran was silent for a while:
"That being the case, what should we do if we are defeated again this time when we go back?"
"As the saying goes, you can do it once but not again. If Yang is caught by you again, he will have no shame in living in this world anymore. The only way is to die!"
Yang Hu said so confidently that he made everyone burst into laughter.
Li Ran couldn't help but sneer:
"Haha, that's wrong. Since Xiongtai is the head of the Ji family and has always been relied upon by everyone from top to bottom, wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his life here in vain?"
At this time, I could hear Confucius singing on the side very seriously:
"It's so difficult to have a full day with nothing to do! Isn't there anyone who can't play games? To do so, it's a wise thing!"
The meaning of this part of Confucius's speech is: It's so difficult to have enough food all day long and not think about anything! Isn't there a game called chess? Doing this is better than sitting idle!
In fact, Confucius was trying to point Yang Hu in the dark: he could have his own ideas, but he was willing to become a chess piece and take orders from the Ji family. He was confused and had nothing to do all day long. He obviously has the talent to become a chess player, but why doesn't he join in the game?
There are too many people in this world who think they are chess players, but in fact they do not have that ability. Instead, they are reduced to chess pieces. And some people, obviously capable of making a difference, are willing to become just pawns and have no desire to make progress.
When Yang Hu heard what they said, his heart couldn't help but move. While thinking about it, he slowly put down the food in his hand, drank the glass of water and wine in his hand, and wiped his mouth directly.
"gone!"
Yang Hu was still the same as last time. After getting up, he left in a swaggering manner.
See Yanghu stride forward
When they came out, Han Buxin happened to come in. Seeing this, he couldn't help but walked in and said angrily to Li Ranshi:
"Let him go this time. When reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to catch him again!"
When Li Ran saw Han Buxin, he couldn't help but stand up, but with confidence in mind, he smiled and bowed his hands to Han Buxin and said:
"Although he did not contribute to the battle, he did a lot for the soldiers. Today, Jiang Yang Hu was killed for the second time, and all the efforts of the soldiers were wasted. Li Ran felt very guilty. However, here I can express my gratitude to you. Everyone promises that if we catch this person again, it will be the last time!"
After hearing what Li Ran said, although Han Buxin also complained, it was inconvenient to say it again.
