The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 614 New plan
Time soon came to dawn.The weather on this day seems to be very good, the sky is clear and clear, and there is no morning fog on the mountain, and the vision becomes very good immediately, and you can see the mountain tops very far away.

At this time, the soldiers in Xu Xiang's camp also came to their senses.The entire camp area has already begun to become lively.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums resounded from the surrounding mountains of the camp, and it was heard from an extremely long distance.The sounds of the birds that liked to sing in the morning were all covered by the drums, and they seemed to be frightened, and they flew up from the books one after another, and countless black spots appeared in the sky.

Then, countless banners of the Jingzhou army suddenly appeared on the surrounding mountains, and the shouts of killing on the mountains suddenly resounded.

Faced with such a situation, Xu Xiang's army didn't know that they were already surrounded by the enemy.Moreover, judging from the enemy's formation on the mountain, the number of them is probably several times that of their own.

As a result, the morale of the Jie Fan Army was immediately in turmoil, and the camp was in a panic.

Moreover, the soldiers and low-ranking officers of the Jiefan Army suddenly discovered that they could no longer find their commanders at all.

As a result, everything in the Jiefan Army was in disarray, and there was no one who could give them orders.

Therefore, Meng Xi started to act again in a very timely manner.Meng Xi immediately dispatched the army Sima Jia Qing to lead the army out to deal with the morale of the Jiefan army.

So, when Xiong Ping's men rushed down the mountain, Jia Qing had already helped Meng Xi subdue the general enemy army.Then, under the joint efforts of Jia Qing's men and Xiong Ping's men, the rest of the ordinary enemy troops were also forcibly disarmed.

The battle went extremely smoothly. Among those who belonged to the military commander Wang Ming, there were only some sporadic resistances, and they were all disarmed and surrendered obediently, and there was no bloodshed.

It is unbelievable to be able to achieve such a victory.Of course, for Xiong Ping's army to defeat the enemy so easily, the person who should be most grateful is of course Meng Xi.

Although there was no large-scale battle between the armies, Xiong Ping really wanted to capture the enemy soldiers, disarm them, imprison them separately, and arrange appropriate personnel to guard them. It took a lot of effort for the people and horses.What's more, the enemy's 2000 troops are not considered a small number.

After all these were dealt with properly, the time had actually come to noon.Both Xiong Ping and Meng Xi seemed very excited, but in fact they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiong Ping was a little scared, after all what Meng Xi did last night was really dangerous.Meng Xi, on the other hand, really felt like he had narrowly escaped death.With just a few people himself, he hid in the main tent of the enemy army for a whole night, during which time he continued to issue summons orders to clean up the senior officers of the enemy army.A big problem was that all those officers had personal guards. If Ding Ye hadn't handled them properly, it would be easy to alarm the enemy.

Immediately, both Xiong Ping and Meng Xi came to Xu Xiang's big tent, and after they sat down, Xiong Ping, as the leader of the army, immediately sent a good news in the direction of Xiangtan.

When he was writing the paperwork, of course he was very proud of himself, the prince would never have imagined that he could clean up Xu Xiang's troops so easily.

And what Xiong Ping is even more proud of is that Meng Xi's battle did not follow the original battle plan at all.The reason why he is proud is that almost all of this battle plan came from the hands of Deng Ai.They have achieved such results now, is it enough to show that they are much better than Deng Ai?
It can be seen that as the war continued, after the talents of Liu Chan's generals were fully demonstrated, the rivalry between them also began.

Of course, it cannot be said that this is a bad phenomenon or a bad thing, but it should be said that this is a very normal phenomenon.

After all, whether in officialdom or on the battlefield, it is normal for people to fight and compete with each other.Harmony, that is definitely an illusion and appearance, just for others to see.Therefore, as long as this kind of fighting is maintained within a reasonable range, it is actually a manifestation of the vitality of Liu Chan's generals.

After Xiong Ping sent out the good news, the next step was to discuss with Meng Xi how they should act next.

Therefore, Xiong Pingdang even asked Meng Xi: "Lieutenant Meng, what do you think about my family's actions next? Should we put Xu Xiang's troops as the first priority?"

Since Xiong Ping asked this way, Meng Xi probably also knew what Xiong Ping was thinking. He probably wanted to stay where he was, and let Xu Xiang's 2000 troops be surrendered first.

Well, what Xiong Ping meant actually meant that he might voluntarily give up participating in the attack on the right troops of the Jiefan Army led by Hu Zong.

Meng Xi thought for a while and said, "General Xiong, although our army won the battle and captured all the enemy troops. But it should be said that our victory was actually a fluke."

Xiong Ping nodded. In fact, until now, he was still terrified of what Meng Xi did last night.However, in his heart, he also admired Meng Xi's ability to win without arrogance, so he continued to listen to Meng Xi's words.

Meng Xi went on to say: "If we simply keep our army here to surrender the enemy, it should be said that there are certain benefits. But the question is, what should we do with the actions of General Gai Meng? It is impossible to let General Gai also followed our example and cleaned up Hu Zong's command system, right?"

Xiong Ping nodded, and said: "Lieutenant Meng, your consideration is indeed reasonable." Then, he signaled Meng Xi to continue talking.

Meng Xi also nodded, and said: "So, taking down the enemy's troops is indeed the top priority of our army at present, but it is not the whole task. After all, no matter how you say it, the previous formulation of separately monitoring the two troops of the Jiefan Army The battle plan is a very outstanding plan. Although we have changed the plan without authorization and achieved very good results, General Gai is still sticking to the original battle plan. Of course, our subordinates should also Continue to implement the battle plan."

When Meng Xi said this, Xiong Ping probably understood what Meng Xi meant, and said: "If that's the case, from our point of view, we can only keep some of the troops and keep Xu Xiang's troops under strict supervision. Then, the rest of the troops will continue to move forward, let’s join General Gai Meng’s team after leaving the mountain.”

Meng Xi nodded, what Xiong Ping said was indeed what he thought in his heart.He said: "This is a very good approach. From the point of view of the general, we only need to keep 1000 troops in our army now, and it is enough to take care of the enemy troops."

Xiong Ping frowned, and asked: "Jia Qing's subordinates happen to have 1000 troops. Does Captain Meng mean that he wants him to stay and take care of Xu Xiang's troops?"

Of course, it was impossible for Meng Xi to do this. No matter what he said, Jia Qing was an enemy general who had just surrendered.His soldiers have inextricably linked information with other enemy troops who have not yet surrendered.It was too late for Meng Xi to send Jia Qing's troops away. How could it be seen that if he wanted to keep them to watch over the enemy, wouldn't that be causing trouble for himself?
Therefore, Meng Xi immediately replied: "It is definitely inappropriate to keep them. From the point of view of the general, it is better to keep our own 2000 troops from the headquarters. The general will stay here, while rectifying the army, At the same time, start to surrender the enemy's generals and soldiers. General Xiong, you might as well lead the 1000 troops from your headquarters and Jia Qing's [-] troops out of the mountain quickly, and go join forces with General Gai Meng."

Of course, Xiong Ping was very satisfied with Meng Xi's arrangement.Although it is said that Xiong Ping's contribution to defeating Xu Xiang's army in this way is definitely not insignificant, but fundamentally speaking, Meng Xi should be regarded as the first.

Now Meng Xi offered to let him stay, and Xiong Ping led the army to attack. That is to say, Meng Xi left the next opportunity to make meritorious deeds to Xiong Ping.Xiong Ping is of course very satisfied with this.

What's more, Xiong Ping didn't intend to be modest.Judging from the current situation, between him and Meng Xi, it is true that one person should be left alone to guard the enemy troops.

Xiong Ping smiled and said: "If that's the case, I would like to thank Captain Meng for your success."

Meng Xi smiled and said: "However, I have a new suggestion. Now Xu Xiang's troops have been completely wiped out, that is to say, the only enemy we are going to attack this time is Hu Huan. The 3000 troops in Zong’s hands are gone. So I thought, maybe we can ask General Zhang Bao to help, let him send some troops to help, maybe before Hu Zong’s army comes out of the mountain, we can completely wipe out Hu Zong’s army on the mountain. It's inside. After all, if the annihilation battle is carried out in a plain area, the operation is still relatively complicated, and the enemy troops can easily escape."

Xiong Ping nodded and said: "When we parted ways with General Gai earlier, he had already sent a letter to General Zhang Bao, expressing his willingness to cooperate with General Zhang Bao, and together when Hu Zong and Xu Xiang were assembled , and launched an attack on it together. However, the situation has changed now. We can send a message to General Gai and at the same time send someone to inform General Zhang Bao that the action against the Jiefan Army needs to be advanced. You How do you feel about doing that?"

Meng Xi nodded and said: "It's really good to do this. Then, General Xiong, you can use our army's [-] cavalry as the vanguard and rush to the exit of the road where Hu Zong's men and horses are walking as fast as possible. Block the exit first, and wait for the arrival of Jia Qing's troops and General Zhang Bao's troops. Even if you can't make it in time to block the intersection, you can join forces with General Xiong Ping, as long as you follow the original battle plan. .”

Xiong Ping nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Then it's not too late, I'll get together and set off right away."

Meng Xi smiled, and immediately stood up from his seat, and the two walked out of the big tent together.
