Chapter 325 Take advantage of the opportunity
When Zhu Huan's troops approached the city, Deng Tong thought of a plan and ordered Chen Jiao, an official from Le'an, to greet him.
Chen Jiao is the masked deputy general. As the protagonist who robbed the people, what he fears most is that he will be liquidated by the Sun regime. Although he was instigated by Han Zong to do so, but now that Han Zong has escaped, he is the culprit
.So Deng Tong was not worried that Chen Jiao would change his mind temporarily and join the enemy.
Deng Tong said to Chen Jiao: "When you go out of the city to meet Zhu Huan, say that the Marquis of Shicheng has prepared a banquet in the city to welcome General Zhu. But Le'an is a small city, so it would be better to ask General Zhu's 20,000 troops to station outside the city.
.”
Marquis Shicheng refers to Han Zong.
Han Dang was named Marquis of Shicheng for his meritorious service. After Han Dang's death, Han Zong inherited his father's title.
Chen Jiaoshen thought so. Even if Zhu Huan acted cautiously and refused to enter the city, forget it. If he did, wouldn't it save a lot of energy?
Compared with the 20,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, Chen Jiao felt that this plan could be tried anyway.
Chen Jiao then led several of his followers directly to Zhu Huan's camp and explained their intention.
Zhu Huan had already heard about Han Zong's arrogant and lewd style, and was very dissatisfied with him. And because Han Zong did not come to greet him in person, he felt that he was being looked down upon, and naturally he would not look good on Chen Jiao.
Zhu Huan asked Chen Jiaodao: "Why doesn't Han Zong go out of the city to reward the army?"
Chen Jiao said: "Le'an is a small place, but General Han has done his best to help General Zhu. I hope General Zhu will enter the city as a favor."
Zhu Huan said: "It is well known that Zhu is not talented, but he is considerate of the soldiers. How can he go into the city to eat and drink, but leave the army outside the city?"
Chen Jiao was a little embarrassed: "This..."
Zhu Huan said: "I have been ordered by the Marquis of Wu to go to Yushan to encircle Huang Zhong. Please send Han Zong to deliver military rations quickly so that we can hurry on our way."
Chen Jiao saw that Zhu Huan had a serious face. Although he did not mention the robbery of the people, he knew that this was not an easy master to please. It was better to return to the city and repay the truth truthfully, so as not to anger Zhu Huan and suffer his murderous murder.
Chen Jiao cupped his hands and said, "I will go back to the city and inform General Han immediately."
Zhu Huan did not leave him alone, but raised his right arm and watched Chen Jiao leave the military camp.
Chen Jiao returned to Anle and explained the situation to Deng Tong.
Deng Tong said: "Then start the second plan."
Chen Jiao: "Second plan?"
Deng Tong nodded and took Chen Jiao to the foot of the city tower. Hundreds of baggage vehicles had been prepared there. The surface of the carts was covered with cloth, and some scraps of grain and grass were exposed in the gaps.
Deng Tong told Chen Jiao: "Most of the firewood here is firewood. You take advantage of the west wind to send it into Zhu Huan's camp and wait for an opportunity to light the firewood. Zhu Huan's army will be in chaos. I will lead the army out again and defeat Zhu Huan."
"
Chen Jiao was a little worried. If Zhu Huan found out, he would have his head separated.
Seeing the doubt on Chen Jiao's face, Deng Tong said: "If we don't take this opportunity to defeat Zhu Huan, he will definitely blame Le'an City for our failure to deliver food on time. If he finds out that Han Zong has run away, he will
Can the thousands of men and horses in the city stop Zhu Huan's 20,000-strong army?"
The implication is that sooner or later there will be a battle between Le'an City and Zhu Huan. If the fire attack succeeds, the chance of victory will be greatly improved.
Although Chen Jiao was reluctant to take this risk, he was now being pinched.
Before, pretending to be a bandit and plundering the people under Han Zong's instigation was a capital crime. Later, following Han Zong to seek refuge with Li Qi, it would be even worse. If you reject Deng Tong's proposal now, Deng Tong will have the seal in his hand, and he will die in a matter of minutes.
He could be punished for a minor crime, so Chen Jiao didn't even have a chance to regret it.
Looking at the flags flying on the tower, it is definitely the west wind.
Zhu Huan came from the east, and the west wind just carried the fire away, setting his fire on fire.
Chen Jiao once again accepted this task unwillingly, led a company of 500 sergeants, and escorted the "grain truck" to Zhu Huan's camp.
Less than a mile away from Zhu Huan's camp, the west wind suddenly stopped.
Chen Jiao: "..."
Without the help of wind, this fire attack strategy basically failed.
Chen Jiao was just thinking about returning home, but Zhu Huan had already sent his deputy general to greet him, making it impossible for Chen Jiao to advance or retreat.
This place is not far from Zhu Huan's camp, nor is it very close. If you light firewood here, you won't be able to burn Zhu Huan's camp at all.
But if they are not burned, Zhu Huan will soon discover that the goods carried in these grain carts are not grain and grass. When the time comes to send troops to pursue him, Chen Jiao will not be able to escape no matter what.
The reality has gone beyond the script. It seems that there is only blind imagination... whim.
Chen Jiao said to the deputy general who came to greet him: "Li Qi's soldiers and horses are approaching, and there are many thieves here. Please ask the general to escort the grain and grass in front, and Chen will stop behind to ensure that the grain and grass are safe."
The lieutenant general had no doubt that he was there, and even praised Chen Jiao for his thoughtfulness.
Of course Chen Jiao was thoughtful. He was at the back of the team, so no one would know if he ran away.
As they were about to arrive at Zhu Huan's camp, the west wind still hadn't risen.
It's time for Chen Jiao to run away - otherwise Zhu Huan will understand everything when he lifts the oilcloth covering the cart later.
But what Chen Jiao was worried about was whether he could escape.
There is an idiom called "Anxiety produces wisdom", which means that when humans are anxious, their IQ rises.
In fact, it may just be that when human beings are anxious, they chop wood randomly. Some people chop wood correctly, which is called "anxiety produces wisdom"; some people chop wood wrong, which is called "fearing and not choosing the road", "hungry and not choosing food"...
Chen Jiao could only chop firewood randomly now, so he ordered to set fire to it.
Although there is no westerly wind, if the fire is strong and the smoke is billowing, Deng Tong will lead his troops to attack Zhu Huan's camp. Zhu Huan must first put out the fire, and Chen Jiao and Deng Tong will go towards each other, which can save half the time.
, then Chen Jiao's chance of escaping Zhu Huan's pursuit will be much greater. As for who loses or wins between Deng Tong and Zhu Huan, that is a matter for the next reincarnation.
Chen Jiao felt that he was too smart in the matter of self-rescue, so he raised a small red flag to signal everyone to set fire to the car as agreed in advance.
Although the soldiers were a little confused, they thought to themselves that there was no wind, who would be set on fire?
But there are always soldiers who are more confused, or more obedient to the general's orders, and light the torches one by one.
The lieutenant leading the way was shocked. He reined in his horse and shouted back: "Traitor, suffer death!"
Even so, the deputy general did not bring many people with him when he came to greet Chen Jiao, so after shouting, he led his troops and fled to the camp.
Chen Jiao didn't care about anything else and had already turned his horse's head and ran towards Le'an City.
So the current situation is that a fire suddenly broke out a few hundred meters away from Zhu Huan's base camp, and the soldiers from both sides ran in opposite directions towards their respective base camps.
The deputy general fled back to the barracks and reported the whole incident to Zhu Huan truthfully. He also said: "The traitor Chen Jiao has not escaped far. If we send Qingqi to chase him now, we will definitely be able to catch up."
Zhu Huan said: "What's the use of chasing hundreds of rebels? Now the fire has started, Deng Tong will come to rob the camp, everyone should take precautions." I like to travel through the Three Kingdoms, starting from "The Fallen Grass Became a Bandit", please collect it: (www.sodu777.
