Chapter 663

Liu Bian was very happy, just about to doze off, when Feng Ji came here to deliver pillows.Feng Ji took the initiative to offer advice, which has two benefits for Liu Bian. One can defeat Zhao Kuangyin and take Jizhou completely.

Second, he was worried that he would not be able to deal with the surrender faction in Jizhou. Among them, Guo Tu and Guo Tu were the most troublesome.Now that Fengji is a fraudulent surrender, even if Guo Tu does not participate, Liu Bian will convict him casually, and if he does not kill Guo Tu, he will not be able to hold his post.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Liu Bian was extremely happy in his heart.

Feng Ji only said that Liu Bian was happy because of his plan to defeat Zhao, but he couldn't guess that Liu Bian was happy because he solved two troublesome things.

"You go down and get ready first, think about what to say when you meet Zhao Kuangyin to convince him, I will discuss the specific matters with the generals!" Liu Bian looked at Feng Ji and said.

"No, the grassroots leave!" Feng Ji bowed his hands and retreated. After leaving, Liu Bian looked at the officials and said, "How is it? Is there something wrong with Feng Ji?"

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Your Majesty really knows people with insight. This is indeed a feigned surrender. This person is loyal to Yuan Shao, but he comes from a family. It is not his nature to say that he is dedicated to the people. He uses this as an excuse. I want to win His Majesty's favor and trust."

"Since Fengji is a false surrender, what is the purpose of his proposal?" Wu Yunzhao hesitated.

Guo Jia analyzed: "Fengji is loyal to Yuan Shao, because Xia Quyang was besieged and had no choice but to surrender, now he naturally finds a way to leave His Majesty. He goes to others and continues to be an enemy of His Majesty, and Zhao Kuangyin is the one he intends to defect to. He told Zhao Kuangyin his plan , there may be three situations, the best strategy is to use the plan and attack our army!
The middle strategy is to take advantage of the transfer of soldiers and horses in southern Jizhou to attack Dangyin. The worst strategy is to leave Jizhou and return to Yanzhou safely! "

Liu Bian stroked his chin and muttered: "Then if I adopt Feng Ji's suggestion and use the plan to transfer the soldiers and horses from southern Hebei to Quyang in northern Hebei, which one of the three strategies will Zhao Kuangyin adopt?"

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't even guess for sure. First of all, Zhao Kuangyin has suffered from Yang Dayan's loss. Now that he is using the old trick again, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be vigilant and not go north to attack our army. Secondly, the purpose of Zhao Kuangyin's stationing in Yecheng is Waiting for something to happen in Longxi, it would be a waste of effort to retreat, but His Majesty has already unified Northern Hebei. If he knew that His Majesty's army was united, he might retreat in fear!
There are too many changes in this plan, and Weichen is not sure which one Zhao Kuangyin will choose! "

Liu Bian murmured: "I think Zhao Kuangyin is a hero, and he probably won't retreat. Most likely, he will plan to go north, or go south to attack Luoyang with Zhao Guangyi! Or stay put and stay in Yecheng, waiting for the situation in Longxi to change!"

Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi cupped their hands and said, "Then I don't know how our army will be deployed?"

Liu Bian murmured: "Follow Fengji's plan first, let the reinforcements who surrendered in Quyang stay in the city, and wait in full force, let the foreign cavalry camp below the city, don't give them weapons and horses! As for our army retreating ten miles, stand still ! In Xiushu, Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and other generals, let them lead their troops north to Quyang!"

Chen Qingzhi said worriedly: "In this way, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely take advantage of our army's retreat outside Yecheng to attack the front line of Dangyin!"

Liu Bian said with a smile: "Our army's cavalry scouts intercepted and the news could not be transmitted. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what happened. In this way, he would worry that this was a conspiracy laid by our army and would not dare to act rashly. Wait for Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing to join our army Round, just release every season!"

Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi were not asking. Since they couldn't speculate on Zhao Kuangyin's specific choice, they could only take a step and watch. There are too many changes on the battlefield, and there are always some things that cannot be guessed. Anyway, after the two armies converged, Liu Bian With 11 soldiers and nearly [-] cavalry, they are not afraid of any conspiracy by Zhao Kuangyin.

Next, Liu Bian really used Fengji's strategy. The soldiers and horses of Jizhou who surrendered were asked to guard Xia Quyang, and only a few weapons were given to them to put on airs on the top of the city. , but took their weapons and horses to prevent them from turmoil.

Liu Bian's army retreated ten miles to set up camp, and sent scouts to inform Yue Fei to lead the army northward.

However, within two days, Yue Fei received news about Liu Bian's order, and Yue Fei readily followed it, but he was also suspicious, which made Zhao Kuangyin not dare to act rashly.

In the city of Yecheng, Zhao Kuangyin got the news that the army outside the city was going north, and brought everyone to the city to watch. Generals Xu Chu, Cao Ning, Yue Xi, Yang Dayan, counselors Cui Hao, Zhao Pu, Cheng Yu and others.

Zhao Kuangyin watched the army meandering northward, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? A few days ago, there was a whole army going northward. Today, the whole army is going northward. Could it be that something has changed in northern Hebei?"

"My lord, I will lead a scout to investigate!" Cao Ning said, cupping his hands.

"No, the Han army is full of tricks. It's not their strategy. We can send scouts to inquire about the news when they are far away!" Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and refused Cao Ning's request. Now he dare not have the slightest main idea.

After more than half a day, the Han army did not return, so Zhao Kuangyin sent scouts to inquire about the news.

The scout came to report: "The Han army is heading north all the way, and there is no sign of returning!"

As for Zhao Guangyi, he originally sent scouts to deliver news to Yecheng, but they were all blocked by the Han army and could not be delivered. Therefore, after a few times, Zhao Guangyi no longer sent scouts, and the scouts only inquired about the news of the Han army nearby. I don't know Zhao Guangyi's movements.

When Zhao Kuangyin learned that the entire Han army was marching northward, he couldn't help becoming suspicious: "What's going on? In the north of Hebei, there are only tens of thousands of remnants of Yan Liang's defeated generals. Xue Rengui alone can deal with it, and Qianfan sent another [-] troops northward. , now the situation in northern Hebei should be decided, and now the Han army is going north regardless of us, what does this mean?"

Cheng Yu guessed: "After our army was defeated last time, the morale of the trapped Yecheng was low. Even so, there were 6 people. How could Liu Bian ignore us? The whole army went north? Could it be that the last time Liu Bian sent troops to go north? Among them, what happened now can't be done..."

Indeed, this is the only way to explain that the Han army marched north regardless of their [-] troops.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that Liu Bian took the risk of fighting again and was seriously injured? What do the two military advisers think?"

Cui Hao shook his head and said, "Liu Bian is full of tricks. Only with solid news can I make a conclusion. Guessing alone is inaccurate!"

Zhao Pu also said: "The top priority now is to send scouts to the north to find out the exact news, as well as the whereabouts of the Second General. According to reason, the reinforcements led by the Second General should have arrived in Ye City half a month ago, and there is no news yet. Come here, it's really weird!"

Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table and said: "I don't know what's going on with this bastard. He hasn't come here yet. Send scouts to find out the news immediately!"

Compared with the lower Quyang battlefield, both Dangyin and Yanzhou were closer than lower Quyang. On the second day, the scouts in northern Hebei had not heard any news, and the scouts who inquired about Zhao Guangyi's whereabouts came back first.

Knowing that Zhao Guangyi went to Dangyin and got nothing for half a month, Zhao Kuangyin blew his beard and stared angrily: "My second brother is usually shrewd, why is he so confused this time? It is really embarrassing to say that Yang Yansi led his troops to charge and kill, and the battle loss ratio was as high as [-] to [-], so let him lead his troops to Ye City and join our army!"

"No!" The cavalry left quickly and went to inform Zhao Guangyi.

At this time, some soldiers came to report: "I want to report to my lord, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Fengji, please see my lord!"

"Feng Ji, isn't he serving as a military adviser in northern Hebei? Why is he here, let him in quickly!" Cui Hao said quickly.

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Boyuan, how is Fengji doing?"

Cui Hao replied: "Fengji is under the command of the lord Yuan Shao, no matter in character or ability, he is top-ranking!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and after a while, Feng Ji walked in, only to see that Feng Ji was covered in blood, there were many arrow wounds, his clothes were torn, and he was in an embarrassing situation.

Cui Hao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Feng Ji, why are you in such a mess?"

It turned out that after Liu Bian sent someone to notify Yue Fei to go north a few days ago, he approached Feng Ji and persuaded him. In order to better convince Zhao Kuangyin of him, Feng Ji needed to cooperate with a bitter show.Liu Bian asked Feng Ji to have scars on his body and let him go south alone without giving dry food or sending a soldier to protect him.

Only such the most authentic bitter drama can convince Zhao Kuangyin, right?
In order to confuse Liu Bian, Feng Ji really went all out and went south alone. Since it was midsummer, although the wound on his body was not serious, it became inflamed and painful when he sweated.Liu Bian didn't give him any food, and after driving for two days, he was really hungry. Now that he saw Cui Hao, an acquaintance, he really wanted to cry to vent his grievances.

Feng Ji's eyes were red, but he knew the important matter at the moment, so he held back and said: "Hey, it's hard to say, it's all because of Liu Bian!"

"Liu Bian? Liu Bian, he went to northern Hebei?" Zhao Kuangyin was surprised.

Fengji quickly saluted Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Fengji has met the envoy!"

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward and helped Feng Ji up: "Sir, please get up quickly, there is no need to be polite! You said that Liu Bian was the cause of your embarrassment. What is going on?"

Feng Ji cupped his hands and explained: "Half a month ago, Liu Bian led [-] soldiers and horses to the north, and together with Xue Rengui, besieged our army in Quyang City! Afterwards, the two generals Yan Liang and Han Meng decided to break out of the siege, and Liu Bian divided into four groups, one for each. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses surrounded Quyang, and on the day they broke through, Liu Bei's [-] cavalry from Youzhou also joined the battlefield and dispersed Liu Bian's army, so Liu Bian was almost lost in the army!"

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed. When he heard that Liu Bian was about to die in the army, he immediately lost his mind: "Then what is Liu Bian's situation now? The soldiers and horses outside the city retreated to the north yesterday. It must be because Liu Bian was seriously injured, so he went north to escort him. Is that so, sir?"
