Chapter 216: The Liuxuan River is surging
Wan Qijin received a secret order from Taifu to make trouble for Zhao Yuan, so he offered Fan Qiuchi this bad idea of letting the soldiers burn and loot, but Fan Qiuchi didn't know the inside story, and thought that Wan Qianjin's words were golden and jade good words, so he gave an order that made everyone incomprehensible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as this military order was given, the soldiers who were originally neat and upright suddenly became red-eyed ruffians and hooligans, rushing into the courtyards of the people with knives, rummaging through the cabinets and finding the soft ones and snatching them away without saying a word, not to mention the gold, silver and money, and the people in the city cried and grabbed the ground, and wailed all over the city.
After three days of looting like this, the morale of the rebels was really boosted, and they were like jackals that smelled blood, and they wanted to bite anyone when they saw it. It's just that as soon as this beastly nature is opened, the four ruined cities can no longer satisfy them, and they set their sights on Fuluo City on the rich side, wanting to go there to continue to burn, kill, loot, loot and extort.
The news that the rebels had sent troops to Fuluo City again soon reached the Wei camp, and Zhao Yuan had heard about what they had done, so he felt that the situation was even more serious, and urgently ordered Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen to enter the commander's tent.
Zhao Yuan saw the two of them standing in front of him, and said to Zuo Qingchen: "You lead the elite soldiers to immediately set off to block the rebels, making it difficult for them to get close to Fuluo City." General Shen has defeated the rebels, and you should consult with him on the best way to deal with the enemy before you set out. Then let them immediately go out and take orders.
The two took the order and left. Seeing that they were gone, Zhao Yuan called his henchmen to his side, took out an eagle made of pure gold from his bosom and put it in his henchman's hand and said, "Go and transfer them to me outside Fuluo City to standby." ”
Out of the handsome camp, Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen walked side by side, both of them silent.
Shen Zhao frowned a little and thought: "Since I have experience in suppressing Kou, why don't you send me there, the battle of Spirit Worm Ditch is simply beautiful, is the Holy Lord dissatisfied with my record?" Thinking of this, Shen Zhaodeng, who had been in high spirits for several days, calmed down a lot.
Let's say that Fan Qiuchi's side learned the lesson of Bao Huai's last fiasco, he did not take a remote shortcut, but moved forward quickly on the flat official road.
Zuo Qingchen led his troops to chase after him quickly, and met the rebels in Ludian, a hundred miles away from Fuluo City.
One side is in a hurry to block the way so that it cannot move forward smoothly, and the other side is in a hurry to loot, if it blocks their way of wealth, it is to see people kill people and see Buddhas kill Buddhas. So, without further ado, the two sides fought in one place.
At the beginning, the Qi army had a slight upper hand with the sharpness of weapons and numerical superiority, and the rebels gradually retreated under the strong suppression of the Qi army. At this time, Zuo Qingchen, in order to be safe, ordered the soldiers not to press, as long as it was difficult for the rebels to approach Fuluo City.
But how could this rebel army be obedient, as soon as this side relaxed, the rebels immediately counterattacked. The Qi army was neatly lined up and quite in formation, and Zuo Qingchen led the troops very calmly and rarely ventured, so the rebels counterattacked several times and did not take any advantage.
Seeing that the fat in his mouth was about to be soaked, not only the rebel soldiers, but also Fan Qiuchi, who had been crazy in the past few days, looked at the direction of Fuluo City but couldn't rush over, hating the root of his teeth, and on the other hand, he was anxious because the battle line could not move forward.
At this time, he remembered that not far from the Qi army was the Liuxuan River, which was in the rainy season, and the Liuxuan River was swelling, and the people raised the embankment to prevent the river from overflowing. Seeing that the Qi army was located in the lowest-lying part of Ludian, Fan Qiuchi asked a group of soldiers to sneak over and dig the river embankment.
It should have been easy to spot a group of soldiers who had been acting in unison suddenly moving towards the embankment, but the lush crops in the fields covered the rebels. The group approached the embankment without the Qi army noticing, and they looked at the rice fields under the embankment that were being grouting and the scattered cottages on the edge of the fields, and they were not moved at all, and quickly chiseled the embankment.
The river burst down and rushed towards the Qi army in an instant. Zuo Qingchen didn't expect this to happen at all, and screamed in shock, but fortunately, the cronies around him reacted quickly and pushed him up a boulder, allowing him to survive in the raging flood. It is a pity that many Qi troops were swept away by the flood without knowing it.
Zuo Qingchen, who was covered in injuries, was carried into the tent, Zhao Yuan personally walked up to him to check the injury, and saw that although he was covered in blood, most of them were skin injuries, so he relieved himself and passed the best medical officer in the camp to take care of his injuries.
Shen Zhao stood in front of the tent with the generals, but the expression on his face was different from others, with a look of remorse, as if to say: "Why don't you send me, I will definitely not have such a result." ”
Zhao Yuan glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the handsome case, and said in his heart: "Sending you there is the same result." ”
For the handsome, the highest level is not to win a hundred battles, but to select materials.
Although Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen are young, they are strategic, and they are rare handsome talents. But the white bi is slightly flawed, and the two of them have their own weaknesses.
Shen Zhao is sensitive, intelligent and decisive, clever and changeable on the battlefield, can find the enemy's weak points, and quickly defeat the enemy, but at the same time he is easily frustrated and has great emotional ups and downs.
For the first time, when Zhao Yuan learned that the rebels were besieging Fuluo City, he comprehensively analyzed the strength of the enemy and the strength of the main general, and he judged that there was an eighty percent chance of winning this battle, so he sent Shen Zhao to make him famous in a battle and full of confidence.
Zuo Qingchen's strength lies in his youth, steadiness, joy and anger, and few flaws. But he lacks adventurism and pursues innocence too much.
For this kind of stuffy person, it is difficult to have a needle prick, and a heavy hammer is necessary. The so-called "not breaking and not standing", it is necessary to cut off all the back roads, in order to stimulate his fighting spirit, let him be unsafe, shameful and courageous.
After the rebels plundered Zhucheng, Zhao Yuan knew that the rebels at this time were like mad dogs, with no rules, no humanity, and no regard for the consequences, which was the most difficult time to deal with.
All things considered, Zhao Yuan thought that the chances of victory were less than two percent, but he still had to send troops to meet the battle, because this was to buy time for the mysterious troops who were still on the way.
Who should go to a battle that you know will be lost? Zhao Yuan chose Zuo Qingchen, in order to break his demons, let him let go of the burden in his heart from now on, and move forward lightly.
Shen Zhao, who felt deeply wronged, probably didn't know that such an arrangement was Zhao Yuan's painstaking efforts to protect his pride and his sharpness.
It can be imagined that at this moment, Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen's hearts must be full of doubt and anxiety, extremely painful, Zhao Yuan has also passed through such an age, and knows that accepting the inevitable pain is growth.
Let's talk about Fan Qiuchi here, after the defeat of Zuo Qingchen, he was even more high-spirited, and led the excited rebels to rush for more than 100 miles and kill under the city of Fuluo.
At this time, it was already midnight, and the city of Fuluo had already received the news and strengthened the defense, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on the city wall. When Fan Qiu saw this scene, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, thinking that the team was already sleepy and tired, so he ordered to bury the pot and cook and rest on the spot.
