Chapter 12 [012] Kill or Surrender
Shen Xian couldn't play a song to show the two countrymen, Gan Ning and Sun Ce, the power of the long song, because they were too afraid of the magic sound, so they fled on horseback.
Arouse! Shen Xian snorted coldly, put the piano back into the cloth bag and hung it, and decided to deduct Gan Ning and Judd's military salaries after the battle.
The men and horses sent by Sun Jian to inquire about the situation of Yuyuan Pass came back that night, probably with God's blessing, the situation in Yuyuan Pass was as Shen Xian expected, only 200 soldiers refused to guard the pass by virtue of natural danger, and there were only centurions among them, and there were no generals.
If the situation is tilted in one direction, the matter is already half the battle. The next day, Sun Jian ordered Sun Ce and Han Dang to lead 30 good men in the army, wearing night clothes, to sneak into the Yuyuan Pass after nightfall and poison them, and the rest of the men and horses were divided into two routes, all the way 5,000 people were light and simple, and took the lead in ambushing at the hidden place at the bottom of the mountain. The remaining 10,000 people took the baggage hall to guard whether there were any traces of Hu Zhen's soldiers and horses around at any time, and once they found it, they would immediately attack and retreat, and Hu Zhen would never be allowed to discover their intentions.
Shen Xian, together with Gan Ning and Huang Gai, led the 5,000 men. This is the first real war that Shen Xian has fought since she came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty - not counting the Yellow Turban thieves who led the Yizhou army to suppress the Yellow Turbans, most of them were poor people, and they put down their weapons and surrendered after being scared and frightened, and there were no two armies rushing against each other at all. It was because Shen Xian was very nervous, she was holding the brush hidden in her sleeve, and she didn't dare to breathe when she was sticking to the trunk of the tree, feeling that her palm was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Fight...... If you fight, you will die! In the future, she will lead her troops into battle to fight, and she will kill people or she will be killed......
Shen Xian's mind was full of wild thoughts, one moment it was a bloody scene of blood splashing, and another moment it was Sun Jian's mention to her, all kinds of thoughts were intertwined and mixed with each other, producing a slight sense of fear. This sense of fear was completely different from the battle of wits and courage with Jia Long and Liu Yan when she was in Yizhou, which made Shen Xian feel a little at a loss.
Just as Shen Xian's face was in a daze, Gan Ning suddenly patted her on the shoulder: "Childe!" What kind of god are you stunned! There's a signal on the hill! ”
Yes, yes, you can't be stunned at this time! Think of the lives of 5,000 men under your command! Shen Xian came back to her senses suddenly, and she looked up at the front while silently reciting Sun Jian's words in her heart. I saw a man in black running down from the mountain, still with the agreed code in his hand. After confirming that it was his own person, Huang Gai walked out: "How is the situation?" ”
"It's all down!" The man whispered, "You can go up!" ”
Five thousand people quietly rushed up the narrow mountain road, and after a long journey of eighteen bends in the mountain road, everyone finally arrived at the station at the top of the mountain. At the gate of the barracks, Shen Xian saw Sun Ce wearing a black night coat and looking around with his arms crossed, he had already untied the black scarf on his face, and his handsome and beautiful face became slightly glowing in the moonlight as if he had added special effects. Shen Xian saw Sun Ce beckoning to them with a smile, and her heart, which had been nervous before, suddenly became a lot calmer.
"Brother Xian, you are really smart!" Sun Ce happily patted Shen Xian's shoulder: "Without spending a single soldier, these two hundred people will all be ambushed!" ”
Shen Xian's heart that had just calmed down jumped, and she blurted out: "You killed them all?" ”
"Not yet, there are only thirty of us, and the other party has two hundred, and it will take time to kill." Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders: "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Xian took a deep breath: "You wait first, I don't think there's any need to kill." ”
"We don't know if Dong Zhongying will regularly send people to inspect the guards at these passes, in case it will be troublesome." Shen Xian's mind spun quickly, and she said while thinking, "Why don't you leave these two hundred people first...... Idea to turn them against you? With their help to cover up, we will be safer, and we will be able to send troops by surprise in the future. If someone really doesn't want to surrender, ...... again Kill. ”
Shen Xian stumbled and talked for a long time, and when she looked up, she found that Sun Ce had stared at her for a long time and had not spoken, and her heart was up and down, when suddenly Huang Gai's voice came from the side: "Lord Liu's plan is feasible, after all, this place is too close to Luoyang City, although at this time, Dong Thief's army is pressed in the Tiger Prison Pass, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not get up to see how the situation is at other levels." ”
With Huang Gai's support, Shen Xian's heart was a little settled, and she blinked and looked at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed Shen Xian's hair: "It makes sense, then do as you say." ”
Sun Jian, who came with soldiers and horses in the back, listened to Shen Xian and Sun Ce's construction and said: "If there is no general, there is no need to slaughter soldiers." It's a good idea to persuade them to surrender, but how do you two decide how to surrender these two hundred? ”
The implication is that whoever raises the problem will solve it.
Sun Ce blinked: "If you don't surrender, you will kill?" Scare scare, scare? ”
Shen Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Tempting him with benefits...... Tell them about the benefits of surrendering? ”
After Sun Jian, Huang Gai and Han Dang looked at each other, the three of them laughed. Han Dang patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and said, "Childe, the so-called grace and power are equally important, you and Lord Liu's method can be used together." ”
Sun Ce said sincerely: "Uncle Han, it doesn't cost to scare people, but to lure them with benefits...... Who pays for the grain, grass and money? ”
Han Dang was speechless by Sun Ce's words, and Shen Xian, who had become more and more wealthy recently, said helplessly: "Shall I do it?" ”
"Brother Xian is rich!" Sun Ce smiled and said, "In this way, the people you tempt with money belong to you, and the people I scare and surrender belong to me, how about it?" ”
Huang Gai couldn't cry or laugh: "Childe, I'm afraid no one will follow you if you surrender like this." ”
Sun Ce didn't believe in evil, but the result was that nearly two-thirds of the people were lured away by Shen Xian with money, and the remaining one-third followed Sun Ce. Shen Xian joked that the reason why these people were willing to be frightened by Sun Ce must have taken a fancy to his beautiful appearance, and then she was chased and beaten by Sun Ce all over the mountains.
In the end, it was up to Sun Jian to appear, he asked Gan Ning to scare and scare those who surrendered by Shen Xian's money temptation, and Han Dang to tempt and seduce those who were scared by Sun Ce, barely achieving "both grace and power".
came out to fight a battle, and the number of people under him did not decrease, but increased, which made Shen Xian a little happy. But then she thought about what she would do if she took these people back.
"Those who know how to water will be thrown to Lao Tzu to train the water army, and if you can't know water, you will break them up and integrate them into your own army." Gan Ning listened to Shen Xian's doubts and gave her an idea: "Don't forget to break up, don't let them get together." ”
"Partisanship, I know." Shen Xian nodded: "It's just that there are only more than 100 people, even if they all get together, they can't compete with the local Yizhou army, and in the end they died in vain." ”
"There are fewer people now, but there will always be more people in the future." Gan Ning rode on the branch of the tree and looked at Shen Xian condescendingly: "According to your ideals, in the future, there will inevitably be people from all over the world in your army, and these people will either form small groups to fight separately, or they will completely integrate into a whole and be loyal to you." ”
"Childe, look what you do."
"I'll try." Shen Xian said softly.
The coalition forces on Shen Xian and Sun Jian's side are a harmonious scene, everyone is headed by Sun Jian, working hard with each other, and has secretly occupied Yuyuan Pass, just waiting for the Yuan League Lord to give an order, and then send troops to Luoyang City to respond to the main army. However, what they didn't know was that the situation on Yuan Shao's side was not very good.
There will be disputes when there are too many people, although everyone elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, but none of the princes from all walks of life are as open-minded as Shen Xian, so they are so relieved to hand over their soldiers and horses to others to command. And everyone is reluctant to make the rafters of the head, as for who will send troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass first, it is a quarrel and no result.
Seeing that the five-day agreement is coming, if no one can be selected as the pioneer outside the Tiger Prison Pass, it will really kill Shen Xian and Sun Jian.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao's side is not all confused, and there are still a few people who understand. So Cao Cao, who finally couldn't stand it, took the initiative to ask Ying to be the vanguard, and led the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers under his command to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to face Lu Bu.
