Chapter 563: One hundred secrets and one sparse
It is said that Yang Feng, the prefect of Runan under Yuan Shu, led his troops on a night patrol along the Huai River. He saw torches on the other side flowing eastward along the river, and knew that the cavalry of the Qinglong Army was deep into Runan County. When Yang Feng saw that the cavalry on the other side were just rushing on their way, he suspected that the Qinglong Army did not seem to care about Runan, so he decided to block the Huai River Wooden Bridge to see what would happen.
Zhao Yun was on the other side. He had seen a fire on the other side and knew that Yuan Shu's Runan army was coming. In the dark night, the dark wooden bridge stretched into the darkness, but when he heard the sound of the turbulent water of the Huaihe River, Zhao Yun grabbed the silver gun in his hand and told his men to just move forward, and he rode the white dragon horse onto the wooden bridge. White clothes fluttering, watching the torch approaching from the other side coldly.
Yang Feng rode his horse to the bridge and approached. He saw a man and a horse in the darkness above the bridge. They seemed to be white horse elves carved in the night. He saw the torches rolling behind him as if they were nothing. Yang Feng was secretly frightened. He whistled and stopped. The horse shouted: "The person opposite is General Qinglong? Why are you violating our Runan border?"
Before he finished speaking, the little white dragon suddenly appeared on the bridge, as vividly as if suspended in the night sky, illuminating the sky and the earth, and reflected in the dark Huaihe River. There was only a war cry in the air, like a scorched thunder rising from the ground: "Hey! The general on the opposite side heard it! I am Changshan Zhaoyun Zhao Zilong, the commander of Qinglong. If you want to use the passage to send troops now, you will naturally be in peace. If you want to stop me, I will do it tonight. Let you die on the bridge!"
The war roar was like the dragon's roar, obviously blessed with superior internal strength. The generals around Yang Feng felt their eardrums buzzing, and the torch lights flashed back, and they couldn't help but look at each other in shock. During the battle in Wancheng, no one knew Zhao Zilong's reputation. Yang Feng's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but he never dared to issue an order for a group attack.
Hundreds of cavalrymen gathered from behind Yang Feng, but they were blocked by the small white dragon with a silver spear. Yang Feng was like a clay sculpture with a wooden body, and Yuan Shu's army was silent for a while.
The air seemed to freeze, but the green dragon cavalry behind Zhao Yun moved eastwards like flowing water without stopping for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the rumble of hoofbeats behind Zhao Yun faded away, and the last torch light finally disappeared around the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Yun listened from all directions and knew that the entire Qinglong Army had crossed the wooden bridge area and Runan's army could not stop it. A smile appeared on Zhao Yun's face, and with a single sweep of his silver spear, the little white dragon immediately circled around his body and disappeared into the darkness. Zhao Yun flicked the horse's head, and the white dragon horse whirled on all four hooves. It turned back and raised its hooves, making a sound, and disappeared into the darkness between its whirling heels. "Huainanzi Military Training" says: "One man guards the pass, but a thousand people dare not cross it." As the saying goes, one man holds the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. There is a poem praising Zhao Yun: "White light covers the body, white dragons fly, silver spears and white horses To suppress the heavy siege. In the thirty-two years, the true master, the Green Dragon God will show his power." Another poem praised: "The majesty and murderous aura are floating on all sides, and the King Qing protects him to show his merits. It is not the Qinglong who has great blessings, but the general's martial arts."
Zhao Yun rode away with Juechen, and Yang Feng finally let go of his hands that were holding the knife shaft. He felt that his palms were sticky and sweaty. His knuckles relaxed because he had held them too tightly just now, and he immediately felt a sharp pain. . After an awkward silence, Yang Feng's deep voice sounded: "Everyone, cross the bridge and set up camp!"
After the Qinglong Army's raiding cavalry passed through Runan County, they placed the troops in the trapped camp in the rear. Zhao Yun's cavalry and the two tiger generals Gao Shun and Gao Lan were all in the vanguard cavalry and moved forward quickly until they reached this area in Lu'an. In the woods, the order to rest has just been given.
Lu'an is only a hundred miles away from Hefei City. At this time, the reconnaissance cavalry sent earlier have begun to report back one after another. The north and west of Lu'an are quiet, and Cao's army has not been found around Bei Feishui in the east. Only in the Jinzhai Valley between Jinji Ridge and Waihuoling in Jiuhua Mountain in the south, there were constant cries of killing, as if a battle was going on.
Zhao Yun frowned. Zhuge's military advisor had already stated in his military orders that the only goal of his troops was to quickly reach the gates of Hefei City. Even if Zhuge's military advisor was personally besieged in Jinzhai Valley, he would not be allowed to divide his troops and go south.
Gao Lan next to him said: "No wonder Lu'an, known as the west gate of Hefei, is not heavily guarded. It turned out that it was attracted to the Jinzhai area in the southern suburbs, but I don't know which army it is? I hope they are safe." Gao Lan has been following Chen Long ever since. After leaving Hebei, he went to study martial arts under his old acquaintance Zhao Yun. His experience in leading troops increased rapidly, and he became the deputy commander of the army under Zhao Yun.
Gao Shun also sighed: "It's a pity that according to the military advisor's order, we can't go to rescue them."
Zhao Yun said: "Military advisor Fei Ge said in a letter that among the surrounding troops, only our army is the farthest away, but it is most likely to reach Hefei City the fastest. And as long as we succeed in the surprise attack on Hefei, the sacrifices of other troops will be worth it."
Gao Lan said: "Cao Mengde's tactics are very sophisticated. If it weren't for the long distance between Wancheng and Hefei, and Yuan Shu's Runan, there would be no way he could appear in Hefei, and I'm afraid Cao Cao wouldn't have missed the calculation."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Guan Yu and Taishi Ci are harassing us in the north, and Sun Ce and Zhuge's military advisors are fighting in the south. This army in Jinzhai Valley was probably sent by Xi Zhicai's military advisor to attract the Liu'an garrison, so that we can pass without any obstacles. Lu'an, enter Hefei City. Cao Mengde's hundred secrets will eventually be sparse, and victory will definitely be ours."
Gao Shun nodded and said: "Zhuge's military advisor has many plans, and Zhicai's military advisor is also far-sighted. Our army should take advantage of the opportunity for Cao Jun's Lu'an heavy troops to intercept Zhicai's military advisor's troops and quickly enter the city of Hefei."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "According to the intelligence, after crossing the Beifei River, we are only fifty miles away from Hefei City. If we can follow the waterway, we can directly reach the moat below Hefei City. Send my order to the general and set off immediately after dinner. The front army reconnaissance cavalry will check immediately. There are ships in the Bei Fei River. If there are not enough ships, you need to choose the land route and target the west camp of Cao's army in the north of Hefei City."
To put it bluntly, the southwest suburb of Lu'an is the foothills of the steep and majestic Jiuhua Mountain. The mountains here are scattered, dangerous peaks reach into the clouds, craggy rocks, and deep valleys. Even though Jinji Ridge and Jinzhai Valley are remnants of the mountains, they are still looped by deep valleys. , the road is difficult to travel. The heavy troops deployed by Cao Cao here were none other than General Xia Houyuan and General Li Dian. In order to attract troops from Lu'an, Xi Zhicai divided 10,000 troops and headed straight for Lu'an, knowing that the road was dangerous and dangerous. The two armies met in Jinzhai Valley and started a great battle.
The leader of the Qinglong Army was Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie, the third division commander of the Third Army. This son is steady and cautious, and his father's style of military use is very good. He was entrusted with important tasks by Xi Zhicai. Shi Hui led his troops northward, pretended to be in ambush at Jinji Ridge, and relied on the dense forests of the mountains to launch guerrilla warfare with the heavy troops of Xia Houyuan and Li Dian, successfully attracting a total of 80,000 Cao troops.
With a slight difference and a thousand miles missed, Xia Houyuan and Li Dian never expected that the defensive gap behind Cao's army in Lu'an would be used by Zhao Yun, who was on a long-distance attack. Li Dian's troops crossed the border of Lu'an County and went straight to the coast of Bei Feishui. And go.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
