Xiliang Ma Teng sent his troops to Bingzhou first, and secretly joined forces with Taiyuan County Governor Zhao Kuangyin's troops. After that, the two forces united and headed towards Shangdang County in the south!
"General Pang De, the scouts have come to report that the guard of Shangdang County is Wei Xu, Nangong Changwan's confidant. How do we capture this city?"
"This official Wei Xu is brave but not resourceful, so there is nothing to worry about! Just to avoid disturbing the situation, it is better for us to take a detour first."
Just as Pound was planning to lead his army to bypass Shangdang County and then make a surprise attack on Jiguan along the Taihang Mountains to the southwest, Zhao Pu, the military advisor under Zhao Kuangyin, came after hearing the news!
"Mr. Zhao Pu, why are you here?"
Zhao Pu hurriedly pushed open the curtain of Pound's tent, then strode to Pound's side, bowed and saluted, and then laughed loudly and said: "Did Shangdang County in Shangdang County stump General Pound?" He is not very talented, but he has a plan in mind, and he can take down Shangdang County without any bloodshed!"
Zhao Pu's deep eyes shone with wisdom. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he caressed his beautiful beard with a half-smile, waiting quietly for Pound to speak.
"Please give me some advice from Mr. Zeping and let Ming lead his army to capture Shangdang County immediately!"
Just when Zhao Pu was about to offer his advice, someone else pushed the curtain in from outside the tent. When everyone took a closer look, it was Zhao Kuangyin, the governor of Taiyuan County, and his chief general Lu Fengxian.
Lu Fengxian walked straight to Pang De's side and bowed his hands in salute. Then he stood sideways to welcome the arrival of his lord Zhao Kuangyin!
"General Pound, how are you doing, Brother Shoucheng?"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhao Kuangyin sat cross-legged with Pang De, Lu Bu, and Zhao Pu and began to discuss how to capture Shangdang County.
"Nangong Chief Wan rebelled against his father and committed patricide. As Ding Gong's favorite general, Wei Xu didn't even think about revenge. He actually joined the Dong thief along with Nangong's beast. Such a villain should be torn into pieces!"
A look of sullenness appeared on Lu Bu's angular face. At this time, he gritted his teeth. He wished he could ride alone, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and rush into Shangdang City, and pick on the guard general Wei Xu to relieve his hatred.
Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other and smiled, waving their hands to signal Lu Fengxian to calm down. Shangdang County is just a piece of bag, you can take it off with your hands!
"General Pound, I just heard that you wanted to take a long detour and make a surprise attack on Jiguan, but is this happening?"
Before Pang De could say anything, he saw Zhao Kuangyin ordering his guards to take out a map of Bingzhou, then lay the map flat on the desk, and motioned the generals present to look in the direction of Shangdang County.
If Pound's plan is implemented, he will have to bypass Shangdang County, then go west to the Taihang Mountains of 800 miles, and then go south along the mountains through Huguan, and then pass through Wenxi through Huguan before reaching Ji. Close nearby!
Compared with directly capturing Shangdang County, and then attacking Jiguan all the way south. The time wasted by taking a long detour will take at least half a month, and there is no guarantee that it will not be noticed by the enemy forces in the future!
"Ling Ming really can't think of any other better way. Please give me some advice."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes instructed Zhao Pu to tell the whole plan. Zhao Pu once again stroked his beautiful beard, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then loudly informed the generals present!
"Wei Xu is greedy for money and lust, and my lord has already given in to his favourites, and has been active in establishing a good relationship with him.
During the introduction, we only need to send a few fierce generals to lead a team of thousands of people to Shangdang on the pretext of offering gifts, and we can directly deceive Shangdang's city gate into opening. Once we capture Shangdang's city gate, General Pang De will lead an army to help. Traveling to the entire Shangdang County is as easy as picking something out of a bag. "
Pang De's eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu in front of him with an expression of disbelief. He had been thinking hard for a long time but could not figure out how to take Shangdang County. As a result, while the two people opposite were chatting and laughing, he suddenly stopped in the command room. Put the talisman of life and death on Shangdang County!
"General Pangde only needs to prepare his troops and prepare for war, and leave the rest to us. At noon three days later, in the palace of the Lord of Shangdang City, let's reminisce about old times and have a drink, shall we?"
…
Three days later, Taiyuan County Governor Zhao Kuangyin ordered his confidant Pan Mei to go to Shangdang County to deliver a letter to the guard Wei Xu. The content of the letter probably meant: "Half a month ago, the Huns caravan went south to merge with the state. Taiyuan County Governor Zhao Kuangyin ordered people to come from the caravan. Bought more than a dozen beautiful exotic beauties and hundreds of boxes (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 412: Lu Fengxian captured Wei Xu alive, and Pang De attacked Dangjun without a bloodshed!
The treasures of the grassland, I hope to use the hands of General Wei Xu to present them to Dong Xiangguo, who is in charge of Luoyang!
There are a lot of treasures and bandits are rampant along the way. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin would send an army of a thousand people south to Shangdang County to escort these treasures to General Wei Xu. He also asked General Wei Xu to notify the passes along the way in advance, so as not to miss the opportunity. The travel time has been delayed. If Dong Xiangguo is offended because of this matter, then we will all be finished if we are held accountable.
(In the end, General Wei Xu’s share is naturally indispensable!)”
As soon as this letter was sent, Zhao Kuangyin immediately gathered all his generals to come to the big tent to discuss matters. Then Zhao Kuangyin arranged for Lu Fengxian, who was dressed in disguise, to be the chief general who led an army of thousands of people south to Shangdang County. He then sent Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin , Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Cao Xing served as deputy generals to assist Lu Bu in capturing the city gate of Shangdang County.
"Fengxian, you know the character of Wei Xu's officer better than anyone else. If there is a chance, you must capture him alive, and then threaten his soldiers to open the city gate and welcome General Pound and his army to move in!"
Lu Fengxian did not speak, but simply nodded to make it clear that he and Wei Xu had worked together under Ding Yuan for many years. In terms of understanding of Wei Xu's character, Lu Bu was even far better than Nangong Changwan.
Wei Xu was greedy for money, lustful, selfish and cherished his life. If he was captured alive by Lu Bu, he would definitely turn around and scold Nangong Changwan for killing his father, and then beg Lu Bu for mercy...
"If we want to take down Shangdang without any bloodshed, capturing Wei Xu alive will be the most critical step, and there must be no room for failure."
Only by capturing Wei Xu alive can we use this as an excuse to coerce his soldiers into submission. Otherwise, even if they successfully capture the Shangdang City Gate, Lu Bu and the others will be trapped in an endless bitter battle, and may even lose their troops. , pay a higher price!
"I will obey your orders!"
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and a black iron soldier talisman was thrown at Lu Bu. Lu Bu took the opportunity to put it in his arms, bowed and said goodbye, then went to the military camp, brought Gao Shun and his 800 soldiers from the trapped camp, and then ordered 800 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. , a total of more than 1,600 people, took their baggage and "gifts" and headed towards Shangdang County in the south.
At the same time, after receiving the letter from Pan Mei, Shangdang County Guard General Wei Xu praised Zhao Kuangyin for his understanding of human nature, and then saw him arranging his trusted soldiers to go to various passes along the way from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County. , indicating to the pass guard that they should take a three-day vacation without asking too much...
"Zhao Kuangyin knows so much about people and the world, so I don't want to be too stingy as a general, so I sent someone to give them a thousand stones of food and grass as a return gift."
