What would Heshi Liehuanduan do if he arrived at Xianping Prefecture?
Pu Xianwannu guessed that he would first recall Wuyan Bojia, merge the two Fuzhou reinforcements into a unified organization, and then inquire about the movements of the Khitan army and the offensive and defensive strategies of Xianping Prefecture.
This is going to be big trouble.
Pu Xian, who was stationed in Xianping Prefecture, was considered shrewd and capable among Pu Xian Wannu's adopted sons. But no matter how smart he was, he still couldn't satisfy He Shi Liehuanduan's request.
The first wave of reinforcements from Fuzhou had been recruited by Pu Xianwannu. Qianhu Wuyanbojia and dozens of officers were killed. The remaining two thousand soldiers were being taken over by Xianping Prefecture, which also numbered two thousand. The soldiers watched one by one and arranged them in the military camp, preparing to slowly carve them up.
How could those dead people be brought to life for him?
As for the movements of the Khitan army and the offensive and defensive strategies of the Xianping Mansion... this is even more troublesome. The Khitan army had no movement to begin with, and the Xianping Mansion had not made any plans to fight against the Khitan people. In order to deceive reinforcements from various places, the envoys sent had prepared their own words.
But those words are not without flaws. In the final analysis, they are bullying the troops stationed in various places to stay away from Xianping Prefecture and unable to visit on the spot.
When Heshi Liehuan arrived at Xianping City, he was still an experienced general. Who could make up a story and hide it from him on the spot? Not to mention that Pu Xian couldn't do it, even Pu Xian Wannu couldn't do it with his own presence!
By that time, the whole thing will no longer be concealed and the secret will definitely be exposed.
What happens then?
Heshi Liehuanduan is usually a little stunned. Now that he realizes something is wrong, can he still swallow his anger? There is no doubt that he and his soldiers will cause a scene on the spot!
There are more than 2,000 Fuzhou soldiers and horses in the city, and there are more than 2,000 Fuzhou soldiers and horses outside the city. One inside and one outside, the inside should be coordinated with the outside... It is really a big trouble!
If Pu Xianwannu himself were in Xianping Mansion, he would certainly be able to mobilize troops and horses, unite people's hearts, and rely on strong cities to defeat powerful enemies. But he himself has already led his troops to Hanzhou and is preparing intensively to recruit the soldiers and horses who will go to Beijing. The garrison in Xianping Prefecture was full of less than 5,000 men at this time. Who would step forward to deal with the powerful general He Shi Liehuanduan?
Xianping Mansion is the base that Pu Xianwannu has spent many years working on. If Xianping Prefecture makes mistakes, what else can it do to engulf the Northeast and confront Mongolia?
After all, Heshi Liehuanduan is probably crazy. Why does he care so much about me, Pu Xianwan Nu? It's really hard for me to handle him coming so eagerly!
The clever plan that was originally linked to each other suddenly became unexecutable. And the reason is so ridiculous.
Because He Shi Liehuanduan is too loyal to the court and too concerned about the situation in the Northeast! No matter how well Pu Xian Wannu knows himself and his enemy, he has never calculated that there are still such loyal ministers in the northeastern hinterland! To do such an unspeakably loyal thing!
Pu Xianwannu looked around: "What to do? How to deal with it?"
The subordinates whispered to each other for a while, and then one person stepped out to salute: "Envoy, at least we can be sure of one thing."
"What's up?"
"That Heshi Liehuanduan was really kept in the dark by us and didn't know anything. Otherwise, he would never have dared to come to Xianping Mansion to die... This is always a good thing."
Pu Xianwannu nodded slightly: "Then what?"
"Then..." the man said tentatively: "The soldiers and horses going to Beijing are approaching, and Hanzhou has an arrow on the string and has to be fired. It is neither possible nor too late to send troops back. I declare that you will sit here and plan a response , and can’t get away for a while. In that case, on the other side of Xianping Mansion... why not let them go to the city, and then select the elite to attack and wipe them out in one fell swoop? "
"Heshi Liehuanduan is a veteran general. When he arrives in Xianping, he has eyes to see and ears to hear. He may be on guard. How can he be defeated so easily? If he cannot win and Xianping Mansion is in chaos, who will Can you afford it?”
"Then, what's your plan?"
"It's better to send troops to intercept quickly..."
"Fuzhou soldiers and horses came very quickly. Our order to dispatch troops was sent to Xianping, and they were already at the gate of the city. They intercepted them! Besides, you also know that Heshi Liehuanduan is a veteran general. His soldiers, horses, and campers all have rules. , is it so easy to be intercepted?"
At the moment, all the generals were talking at once, and they put forward several opinions, but all of them were refuted one by one. After deliberation for a while, someone else came out and said, "Why don't we do the same thing again?"
"You mean..."
"Since they are here to support us, we should treat them as if they are here to support us. Just like we did with the last group of Fuzhou soldiers, we invited their officers into the city in the name of a banquet and wine, and then they came out with swords and axes and killed them all. Okay. As for the soldiers outside the city, the snake cannot survive without a head, so we can only recruit another group of soldiers."
"It's not bad if that's true. But there's a problem with your idea."
"how to say?"
"What should I do if Heshi Liehuanduan becomes suspicious and refuses to enter the city?"
"this……"
Pu Xianwannu raised his hand and thought quietly. The surrounding soldiers immediately stopped the discussion and stood still.
In the sunlight, his shadow fell to the ground, a little short. A Grasshopper clung to the edge of a blade of grass in the shadows, chirping loudly.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "No one could have imagined that He Shi Liehuan would achieve this level. The changes in front of him are unavoidable. I think it would be best if we can repeat the same tricks again. If He Shi Liehuan can achieve it, it will be the best." Having become suspicious, we used this reason to keep them out of the city and hold the city firmly for three to five days. Then I will lead the army back. By then, I will be able to wipe out all their troops and avoid having to make another trip to Fuzhou."
"But……"
The number will be discussed later.
At this time, another knight came back from the front: "I am reporting to the envoy that we are going to the capital with ten thousand people on foot, five miles away from here."
The soldiers and horses going to Beijing are about to arrive, and there is no time to hesitate anymore. This end also requires a lot of energy to deal with. I will have to spend the next two or three days in Hanzhou! You have to get things done in Hanzhou before you can turn back to Xianping Mansion!
Pu Xian Wannu waved his fist and made up his mind: "Brother Pu Xianbing, Pu Xian will take the stage!"
The two names he called were both known for their bravery.
Pu Xianbing, a man with green eyes and yellow hair, is a mounted warrior who is accustomed to killing generals and holding flags. And Pu Xian came out with braided hair and extremely broad shoulders. Previously, he pretended to be a gang leader in the military camp to intimidate Fuzhou soldiers. He once killed the first alert Fuzhou soldiers in full view of 2,000 people. Hundreds of households.
At the moment, the two of them came out boldly.
"exist!"
"The two of you bring 500 elite soldiers and rush back to Xianping Prefecture for support. Tell Pu Xian to press out and follow the last time to deal with Heshi Liehuanduan! If there are any changes, you will make a decision on the spot. Just hope for success. , act without any scruples.”
After a pause, Pu Xianwannu raised his voice and shouted: "You set out now, and you must be careful! Once this matter is done, I will remember the three of you for your great achievements, and you will be rewarded!"
Sure enough, as Guo Ning expected, Pu Xianwannu relied on his familiarity with all parties in the Northeast to brazenly implement the strategy of swallowing up the enemy.
But his own strength has its limits after all, so when he solves many goals one by one, it is also a weak moment when he considers all aspects of his strength, but instead focuses on one and loses the other; the process when he starts to act but has not officially raised the flag of rebellion is also the process of the strength of his troops. This is the most awkward time for top-down command delivery.
Guo Ning felt that if he were the coach of the Mongolian army, he would definitely seize this moment.
Then Guo Ning's choice is to act before this time.
And the means remain the same.
He is not a man who is full of tricks, but he was at the bottom of the army in his early years. Occasionally he looked up and saw those high-ranking officials scheming with each other. The more he saw it, the more he gained some insights:
The more comprehensive a plan is in one aspect, the more likely it is that there will be huge omissions in another aspect. As long as this omission can be found, the more complex the plan, the more simple and crude methods will be used to break it.
Just like this moment.
Pu Xianwannu had already made rebellion, but it was not blatant yet. Therefore, he could neither open up and order the whole army to fight happily, nor could he really regard the "reinforcements" as reinforcements, so he was extremely constrained in dealing with it.
And in all his plans, he would not take into account that after Fuzhou suffered a big loss, he was not only ignorant, but also happily sent a second wave of reinforcements.
But He Shi Liehuanduan did just that.
He Shi Liehuanduan, the commander-in-chief of the Fuzhou capital, who was the pillar of the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong and led the troops to provide righteous support, marched in such a swagger without any obstacles on the road.
On this day, a total of 2,500 troops arrived at Xianping Mansion safely despite the disbelief of many people in the dark.
The terrain of Xianping Prefecture is generally higher in the east and lower in the west, with many hills in the north and south, especially the branches of Changbai Mountain in the southeast. There are many small streams and rivers in the mountains that converge below the city, which is suitable for farming in the small plains of Chengzhou. Although the terrain in the northwest is Although it is low, there are rolling hills and vast forests like the sea.
Heshi Liehuan looked at the scene in front of him and sighed: "What a treasure land, it's a pity..."
Behind him, dozens more people climbed up. Looking at their clothes, these people looked like He Shi Liehuanduan's bodyguards, but under their military robes, everyone wore fine armor and stomach, and the murderous intent in their movements was beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.
In the crowd, Guo Ning smiled and said, "Does He Shilie have any interest in this treasured land?"
Heshi Liehuan shook his head without answering and pointed in the direction of the city: "Looking at the flags in the city, Pu Xianwannu has indeed sent troops to the north, but there seems to be a lot of troops left behind and the security is tight. If we attack by force, we will suffer losses. many."
"Du Tong, what's your clever plan?" Guo Ning asked.
Heshi Liehuan was silent for a long time, his brows almost knitted together.
Cooperation between Gaizhou and Fuzhou and Dinghai Navy is the best choice under the current situation, but this does not mean that Heshi Liehuanduan is happy to do so. This time the army came under the banner of Fuzhou Dutong, but in fact most of them were Shandong soldiers and horses. Heshi Liehuanduan was indeed held up in the air, and he felt even more conflicted.
Therefore, in the past few days, the army was marching in a hurry, and he did not express any opinions during the whole process, just like a clay sculpture.
But Guo Ning was polite to him throughout the whole process, and his attitude was completely different from the fierce and intimidating people in the Dutong Mansion that day.
After all, it was Pu Xianwannu who caused the trouble, and it was Pu Xianwannu who ruined the overall situation of Liaodong. I can only choose the lesser of two evils, otherwise what else can I do? Let's take it one step at a time... This Guo Ning is a Han'er from Northern Xinjiang. How can he be better than the Mongols who intervened in the Jinyuan hinterland!
Heshi Liehuanduan casually took off the long knife from his waist.
The soldiers around him were all the elites of the Ding Navy. At that moment, someone quietly changed their positions and stood directly behind him. But Guo Ning was smiling, as if he didn't care at all, and even stretched his neck to look towards the city.
This also fell into the eyes of Heshi Liehuanduan.
He sighed, raised the long sheathed sword, and pointed at the city: "Guo Jiedu, please look. To the south of the city of Xianping Prefecture, there are small rivers formed by several streams. The flat land where the small river is entwined is It is usually a place where guest troops are stationed. I think we might as well station outside the city first and act unprepared to lure the enemy. If the soldiers and horses in the city break out, we will rely on the water force to attack the guests. If there is no action in the city, Tonight, we will send people down the river to sneak into the city through the damaged areas of the city wall in the west, and try to contact our fallen soldiers, thinking that we should be in touch."
Guo Ning nodded repeatedly.
Heshi Liehuanduan was a veteran Jurchen general who had experienced battles in the battlefield, and his ability in leading troops in battle was very good.
When he was forced by his own cavalry in the Fuzhou Dutong Mansion, he was a little embarrassed, but now he casually made arrangements, showing his rich combat experience. The plan Guo Ning agreed upon with his own generals during the march was nothing more than this.
Guo Ning didn't like the Jurchens' high-ranking officials, but he did respect such talented warriors. At that moment, he sighed in admiration: "Du Tong is indeed an expert in using troops."
When they were about to discuss the details, they heard Li Ting yell: "Don't bother, just look at it!"
Under everyone's gaze, a team was marching in the south gate of the city, with people carrying handbags on their shoulders, carrying several pigs, several sheep, and wine jars.
"Are they coming to work for the army?" Zhang Qian asked doubtfully: "We are all approaching the city with troops, how can they pretend?"
Li Ting curled his lips and said contemptuously: "You are still too young! They brought pigs, sheep, wine and wine for my soldiers to enjoy, and then they invited He Shilie and the officers to the city for a banquet. The officers When we enter the city, swordsmen and axes will come out in all directions and kill everyone immediately. At that time, the soldiers who are eating and drinking outside will have no choice but to be captured."
"real?"
"In those days, thieves and bandits in Hebei often fought and fought with each other. Countless people from all over the world fought against each other. This was a common routine! This group of people in front of them had just come out of the city. As soon as they twisted their butts, Grandpa Li knew what they wanted to do! We have many experts in military affairs here, but my grandfather Li is the only one who has been involved in internal strife!"
When Li Ting fled Hebei, he was indeed known for his ruthlessness. Even Zhang Qian had heard about the vicious methods of Zhongdu Li Erlang, and he was convinced by it: "Then, do we have a way to deal with it?"
"Their coming here is both a killing trap and a test. If we don't know anything and go rashly, we will run into the ambush they have arranged in the city. If we excuse ourselves and refuse to go, we will It will be revealed that we have a long-standing intention, and the troops in the city will immediately increase their vigilance and defend."
"I see, this is a dilemma."
Li Ting sneered: "Dilemma? Hehe..."
"Li Erlang, why are you laughing?"
Li Ting turned to Guo Ning: "Guo Jiedu, Guo Jiedu! I know you are also an expert, but today is my chance to show my face, and it's not your turn!"
