Chapter 354: A bad chess
Yang Zheng nodded with great appreciation and said: "Yes, it is the story of Jin Wengong's retreat, today we will learn from Jin Wengong!" ”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to slander, killed the crown prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's half-brother Chong'er. When Chong'er heard the news, he escaped from the Jin Kingdom, lived in exile for 19 years, and later wandered to the Chu State, where King Chu Cheng hosted a banquet to entertain Chong'er and asked, "If the prince returns to the Jin Kingdom, what will he give me in return?" Chong'er replied, "You have both male and female servants, precious jade and silk; Bird feathers, animal hair, ivory and leather are all specialties of your country. Those who have traveled all over the Jin Kingdom are what you have left. What shall I repay you? The king of Chu said, "Even so, what must you repay me?" Chong'er replied: "If I can return to the Jin Kingdom thanks to you, once the Jin State and the Chu State are at war and the two armies meet in the Central Plains, I will let the Jin army retreat for ninety miles." If you don't get it, I'll have to fight with you with a whip and bow in my left hand, and a quiver and a bow holster on my right. For this promise, the whole Chu State has remembered it.
Later, the state of Chu and the state of Jin were at war, and as soon as the Chu army marched, Duke Wen of Jin immediately ordered to retreat. Some soldiers in the Jin army couldn't think about it, and said: "Our commander is the king, and the other party is the courtiers who lead the troops, how can the king let the courtiers be reasonable?" ”
Hu Yan explained: "To fight a war, you must first rely on reason, and you must be upright. At the beginning, the king of Chu once helped the lord, and the lord promised in front of the king of Chu: if the two countries are at war, the Jin state is willing to retreat. Today's retreat is to fulfill this promise. If we lose faith in the state of Chu, then we will be at a loss. We have withdrawn our troops, and if they do not give up and advance step by step, then they have lost, and it is not too late for us to fight them again. ”
The Jin army retreated ninety miles in one breath and arrived at Chengpu (southwest of present-day Juancheng, Shandong) before stopping and arranging the formation.
Some generals of the Chu State saw the Jin army retreating and wanted to stop the attack. But Cheng Dechen didn't agree, and chased to Chengpu step by step, far away from the Jin army.
Cheng Dechen also sent someone to send a war letter to Duke Wen of Jin, and the wording was very arrogant. Duke Wen of Jin also sent someone to reply: "We have never dared to forget the favor of your country, so we retreated here." Now that you don't want to understand, you have no choice but to compete on the battlefield. ”
The Great War began. As soon as the battle began, the generals of the Jin State commanded the army to retreat backwards with two banners. They were still dragging the felled branches behind the chariot, and as the chariot retreated, puffs of dust rose from the ground, giving them a very panicked appearance.
Cheng Dechen has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take the Jin people in his eyes. He chased straight after him regardless of the front and back, and was in the ambush of the Jin army. The elite of the Jin army's Chinese army rushed over and cut off Cheng Dechen's army. The Jin army, which had pretended to be defeated and retreated, turned around and attacked back and forth, killing the Chu army in pieces.
Duke Wen of Jin hurriedly ordered the soldiers to just drive the Chu army away and stop chasing and killing. Cheng Dechen took the remnants of the defeated army back halfway, and he felt that he could not explain to King Chu Cheng, so he committed suicide. And the Jin State relied on this battle to become famous all over the world and become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Yang Zheng made up his mind today to learn from the Duke of Jin Wen of the year to lure the enemy deeper, so he talked to Jin Yixiao and others in detail early in the morning, but that Zhang Yijie Wufu didn't listen carefully, and he didn't understand Yang Zheng's intentions.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "My lord's plan is very good, but where should I lure the enemy to?" ”
Yang Zheng had already expected Jin Yixiao to ask, stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him not far away: "How is it there?" ”
Jin Yixiao looked in the direction he was pointing, but it was the direction of Qingchun Gate, his frowning brows suddenly stretched, and he smiled: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! What a wonderful move! ”
This Qingchun Gate was built in the 28th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty and is one of the ancient east city gates of Hangzhou. Formerly known as Dongqingmen, it is also known as the vegetable market because there is a vegetable market outside the door. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan soldiers entered and occupied the city of Hangzhou, and the city gate was destroyed. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the nineteenth year of reconstruction, to the east to expand three miles, the new gate is close to the Taiping Bridge, renamed the Taiping Gate. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's department entered the city from this gate, so it was renamed Qingchun Gate.
Qingchun Street in Qingchun Gate has always been one of the prosperous streets in Hangzhou. Outside the door is the vegetable field of the suburban peasants, the vegetable farmers transport vegetables into the city, carry the dung out of the city, all enter and exit from this door, so the folk song has the saying of "the dung outside the Taiping Gate", because of this, here is also the most desolate and spacious place in the whole city, a lot of haystacks are piled up, here to lure the enemy deep, and then use the artillery is the best.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zhang Yi also nodded secretly and said, "This place is empty, and it is very beneficial to artillery?" ”
Seeing that both of them agreed, Yang Zheng glanced back at the field, and said with a sigh: "Start fishing!" ”
After giving the order, the Ming army began to retreat, for fear of being seen by the Maitreya Sect, Yang Zheng was not anxious to retreat, and he was fighting and killing.
Li Fuda sat on the horse and watched the Ming army collapse under Wei Fu's blow, and immediately laughed, this Ming army really couldn't help fighting, so he began to retreat, I am afraid that my Maitreya Sect will win this battle! Thinking proudly, Yang Tian laughed.
The Ming army has fled, and the Maitreya sect that finally found the feeling will let go of such an opportunity, and was originally scared to death The people in the rivers and lakes were shouted and brandished at this time, and Wei Fu, who was the protector of the law, was like a tiger descending the mountain at this time, wielding a simple knife, and rushed to the Ming army single-handedly
A fierce tiger descending from the mountain, the sword light is like a horse slashing and killing everywhere, everywhere it goes, people are turning on their backs, so it is not mighty.
Zhang Yi has always cherished the soldiers, and Wei Fu killed his own soldiers like this, where can he still bear it, shouted, and was about to rush over with a single knife, Yang Zheng's eyes were quick, and he grabbed him and said: "Don't be impulsive, he is the protector of the Maitreya Sect, and his martial arts are strong, you are not his opponent, let the soldiers withdraw quickly!" ”
Zhang Yi also knew that the present was the key to victory or defeat, glared at Wei Fu and gritted his teeth, and shouted with the reins of his horse: "Bring the arrow!" “
A soldier beside him handed over a curved bow, Zhang Yi threw the single knife at Jin Yi and shouted: "Stinky poor sour, lend you the treasure knife to play a good trick!" “
Jin smiled and didn't say much, and with a copy of his left hand, he took over the single knife, but his arm strength was not as strong as Zhang Yi after all, and he almost fell off the horse, so he hurriedly took a breath, stabilized his body, and fought with both hands holding the single knife.
Zhang Yi stared at Wei Fu's figure and said, "The Maitreya Sect of the dog day, let you taste the power of Grandpa Zhang's chain archery technique!" As soon as the words fell, he took a sharp breath, pulled the bow with both arms, pulled the arrow, pulled the string, fired, and "buzzed", and an arrow shot at Wei Fu's back like a meteor.
"Be careful!"
I don't know who shouted in the Maitreya Sect, the sound was not loud, but Wei Fu's martial arts were strong, and he listened to all directions, at the moment when the feather arrow was killed, on the side of the body, the Pu knife slashed head-on, cutting the first feather arrow in half, who knows, at this moment, there was a "buzz" sound The second feather arrow followed closely, and the speed was much faster than the previous one, and the strength was also a lot greater.
Wei Fu was taken aback, and said in his heart: "I can't imagine that there are such characters in the Ming Army?" ”
After all, his martial arts are strong, his body jumped, a volley jumped up, dodged the second arrow, and just wanted to fall off the horse, only to hear a sneer, and said: "Want to go back to the horse, want to be beautiful?" ”
There was another "buzzing" sound, and it was actually a third feather arrow that was shot at Wei Fu's chest.
"Three arrows in a row!"
Wei Fu was shocked, at this time his body was in the air, just now cut down the second arrow, has used all his strength, this third arrow is impossible to dodge, seeing the third arrow shooting, he is not afraid of death and will be injured, at this moment, suddenly heard a "dang" sound, a white light flashed, followed by a figure flying quickly, with a strong wind swinging the knife to chop down the third feather arrow.
Wei Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Fuda who saved him, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Sect Master for saving me!" “
Li Fuda waved his hand, squinted his eyes at the battlefield, and said, "I didn't expect that there are such powerful archery masters in this Ming army!" I'm underestimating them! ”
Li Fuda's five thousand soldiers and horses saw that the old man of the sect leader had joined the battle, and they had already joined the battlefield to fight, they were the elite of the Maitreya Sect, they had a lot of training on weekdays, and they were no strangers to the battlefield, they waved their broadswords, and rushed to the Ming army with a roar, the Ming army was thinking about retreating, and the five thousand soldiers and horses under the command of Li Fuda joined the fight, so that they had to retreat, so that the retreat trend was also very realistic.
Li Fuda's face was full of joy, and he laughed with his long beard: "I thought that this group of Ming troops was reborn, but I didn't expect it to be just a hollow radish, strong on the outside, and a group of remnants!" It's your bad luck to come across this seat today! ”
As soon as the words fell, the dignified Maitreya sect leader suddenly shouted, brandished a single knife, and rushed towards the Ming army single-handedly, all the Ming troops had already been instructed not to fight, so the few hundred households led by Li Fuda rushed to kill, and they threw away their weapons and turned around and fled.
Li Fuda didn't expect this Ming army to be so unbearable, and he was even more proud in his heart, laughed a few times, Tima caught up with several Ming soldiers, shouted, and slashed down with a knife in his hand, splitting a Ming soldier who was fleeing into two diagonally, and then shouted: "The Ming army has been defeated, and you brothers will kill with this seat and occupy the ancient city of Hangzhou!" ”
Li Fuda's heart increased sharply, and this shout secretly used internal force, although there was a fight on the field, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of swords, guns and sticks intersecting, and the cries of soldiers on both sides were intertwined, but this shout was still heard clearly by everyone.
