Chapter 267
Here in the Han army, the attacking faction and the siege faction were in a stalemate with each other, and neither could convince the other. And Zhang Wen, who was supposed to make a decision, was unable to make up his mind because of indecision, and hesitated between the two parties.
Shang Ji himself tended to attack immediately, but others spoke lightly. Although Zhang Wen had a slight liking for Shang Ji, he obviously would not really listen to Shang Ji's opinions on such military matters.
The meeting quarreled for a whole day, and finally failed to come up with a specific charter. The low efficiency of the Han army made Shang Ji frown!
Reluctantly ending the military meeting for the time being, Zhang Wen just ordered everyone to strictly guard against the Xianbei army breaking through.
Although no specific resolutions were discussed, the final result turned towards the envisioned development of the siege faction.
After leaving the commander's account, Shang Ji subconsciously connected to Shengying to investigate the enemy's situation. During the marching battle, it is almost a businessman's habit to contact Shengying more often to check the enemy's movements.
Upon seeing it, Shang Ji immediately frowned, and after observing carefully for a while, Shang Ji immediately turned around and returned to the commander's tent.
"General, Yulu Captain Shang Ji is here to see you!"
"Let him in!" Zhang Wen said immediately.
"The last general, Shang Ji, pay my respects to the general!"
"Shang Xiaowei, please sit down!" Zhang Wen happily asked Shang Ji to sit down, and then asked: "Shang Xiaowei is here at this time, do you have any important matters?"
"General, the general has discovered some special military situation, so I have come to report to the general!" Shang Ji replied respectfully.
Zhang Wen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked and answered with great interest: "I don't know what the military situation is, but I trouble Captain Shang to report it in person!"
"General, the last general found out that a Xianbei army of more than 50,000 people each broke away from the main force in the northeast, north, northwest, and west, intending to break through in batches. Because of the emergency, the last general came here without authorization to disturb The general rests, and I ask the general to forgive me!"
Zhang Wen immediately turned serious when he heard the words, and said in a concentrated voice: "Shang Ji, can you confirm the accuracy of the information?" The dispatch of 200,000 troops at one time is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the besieged Xianbei army, which is considered a big deal. Zhang Wen had to pay attention.
"Everything that the general said is true, the general can take his head as a guarantee!"
What Shengying saw was almost the same as what Shang Ji saw with his own eyes, so Shang Ji was naturally confident.
"Pass the order down, order Zhang Ling, Li Song, Wu Nong and other eight generals to come to see me immediately!"
After a while, the school captains who were summoned came to have an audience, and Zhang Wen first informed them of the information reported by Shang Ji. Everyone glanced at Shang Ji in amazement, and then immediately started calling for a fight.
These school lieutenants are all school lieutenants from the Northern Army. As the elite of the Central Army, they are naturally not comparable to ordinary county soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as happy after hearing the war.
"General, the general has a plan to help the general defeat the enemy!" A school lieutenant cupped his hands and said.
"Oh? General Zhang has a plan for reconciliation?"
"General, everyone!" Captain Zhang bowed his hands to Zhang Wenwen and everyone present, and said loudly: "Xianbei's move is likely to be a tentative attack, preparing for the main force to break through!"
"We might as well use the tactic of showing the enemy our weakness and deliberately sell a flaw. Then we will ambush the army in the rear. Once the Xianbei people are fooled, we will attack halfway. Wouldn't it be easy to wipe out the Xianbei bandit army like this?"
"General Zhang, high opinion, the final decision will be reconsidered!" Zhang Xiaowei just finished speaking, and immediately another school lieutenant said.
Shang Ji took a look at the two of them, and found that they were representatives of the radical faction who strongly advocated an immediate attack at the military meeting just now.
Later, several military generals voiced their support, and even the conservatives who insisted on besieging before did not object. Now it is no longer a question of taking the initiative to attack or stick to the encirclement, but the Xianbei army began to choose to break through, and the Han army could not help but make a choice.
Zhang Wen thought for a moment, then Fu Xu nodded: "Lieutenant Zhang's plan seems to be feasible, why don't we just follow it, what do you think?"
"The last general will obey the general's order!" Everyone present, including Shang Ji, shouted in unison.
"it is good!"
"The generals obey the order,
Zhang Ling, since you proposed the plan, the task of showing weakness to the enemy is entrusted to you! "
"The last general takes orders!" Zhang Ling said immediately.
"Wu Nong, Li Song, you need to set up an ambush, and you must annihilate the rest of the Xianbei soldiers in one fell swoop, leaving no future trouble!"
"The last general takes orders!" Wu Nong and several school lieutenants said in unison.
"General, the last general invites you to fight!" Seeing that Zhang Wen had finished arranging the plan, but he didn't see anything about himself, Shang Ji immediately asked for a fight.
"School Captain?"
Zhang Wen glanced at Shang Ji, and murmured softly, with some hesitation in his heart. He has always been skeptical about the combat effectiveness of these county soldiers. Today, the main forces of the ministries that implement the plan are all the elites of the Northern Army.
However, Shangji is a little different. Although he has not personally experienced the power of Shangji's army, but he can fight all the way from Liaodong to Guangyang, so it is not a big army.
"Shang Xiaowei has a heart of sincerity. Let's do this. It just so happens that Shang Xiaowei's army is located in the northeast, so the Xianbei army that broke out in the northeast will be handed over to Shang Xiaowei!"
After thinking about Shang Ji's brilliant record, Zhang Wen agreed to Shang Ji's request. An army of 400,000 is fighting against 50,000 Xianbei, it is impossible to lose anyway, right? Moreover, the news of Xianbei's breakout was provided by Shang Ji, and it was hard to refuse Shang Ji's invitation to fight.
"Thank you General!"
"Okay, the military situation is urgent, let's execute it immediately!"
"Farewell, general!" Everyone respectfully exited the big tent.
After Shang Ji got out of the camp, he immediately rode on the Lilong horse and rushed towards the army with a few personal guards who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Li Longma's speed was superb, and the distance was not too far. After a quarter of an hour, Shang Ji returned to the main army.
Because of the urgency of the situation, Shang Ji didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered the Black Armor Xuanqi, Lieyangqi, Wolf Cavalry, and Youlong Archer to intercept the Xianbei army.
There were only 50,000 Xianbei troops to break through in the northeast. Naturally, it was impossible for Shang Ji to suppress the main force in one go. Sending 50,000 special troops was already the most conservative way of fighting.
In terms of combat effectiveness, 10,000 Black Armored Xuanqi can easily torture 50,000 ordinary Xianbei troops.
In addition to these, Shang Ji also brought Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and Liu Bei three famous S-level historical generals. This lineup of generals is absolutely luxurious. A mere 50,000 Xianbei naturally didn't need to work so many great gods to appear on the stage, and they brought Zhang Fei and Liu Bei mainly out of the psychology of showing off their force.
If you want to subdue them, showing your own strength is an indispensable part. If they see that the merchants are strong and strong, and they want to go to them, that is naturally the best. Even if it doesn't work, that's okay, since there's nothing to lose anyway.
Fifty thousand cavalry, under the leadership of Shang Ji, went straight to the Xianbei breakout troops.
These poor Xianbei soldiers don't know what kind of opponent they will encounter, and now they are coming here with a look of enthusiasm.
