Chapter 554: The king has benevolence, and the reeds are also wet
As mentioned above: A thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find.
So what is more difficult to find than one? Of course, if the commander has a boss with a furrow, and this coach is still his father, it will definitely be even more difficult and rare.
Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao were able to abandon the former army to rescue Gan Ning, how could Sun Ce put his father Sun Jian in danger for thousands of soldiers? Therefore, Huang Zhong was just a short sentence, and by the way, Yan Liang, who was injured in the line of duty, and returned home to light hundreds of torches outside the mountain, and Sun Ce was already so frightened that he fled in a hurry.
"Old general, it seems that you still have a way, otherwise it will not be easy for us to achieve such a big victory tonight!" Seeing Niu Gai, Ma An and others leading their soldiers all over the mountains to arrest Sun Ce's deserters, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be full of joy.
Actually, it's no wonder that Zhang Liao is worried, although their troops are far more powerful than Sun Ce and Han Dang, and their knights are far from being comparable to the Jiangdong soft-footed crabs under Sun Jian's command in terms of skills and tactics, as well as armor and weapons. But as the saying goes: people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.
Their warriors have followed them from Xinxi to the Flying Eagle Valley, and then from the Flying Eagle Valley to Anyang, and then Anyang ran to Yangquan overnight, traveling for a thousand miles and hundreds of miles, without sleep, eating or drinking, even if they are iron men, they can't bear it, not to mention that they are all flesh and blood people!
Huang Zhong's trick is really a stroke of genius!
Their soldiers had a short rest, but the defeat of Sun Ce and Han Dang caused the soldiers of Jiangdong to collapse directly. Although the battle in Yuzhou has not yet ended, this battle in the dense forest has allowed them to win a crucial victory, and it is still a lie to win!
Otherwise, how could Zhang Liao's steady temperament be so excited?
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled: "Actually, the old man didn't completely deceive them, although the old man did use the name of General Yan and pulled his banner, but didn't the lord say that he was going to come to Lu'an?" ”
Zhang Liao laughed when he heard this, this old Huang Zhong's character really has a bit of a naughty heart, what he said and did obviously made people grit their teeth with hatred, but it was so blocked that people couldn't say it, Sun Ce could only say that he had fallen into eight lifetimes of blood mold!
Speaking of which, in addition to thanking General Yan for this battle, I am afraid that I also have to send a pennant to Cao Mengde. After all, without him quietly leaving Anfeng for Xuzhou, how could General Yan suddenly change his route to the point of confusing Sun Ce's eyes? Gan Ning also smiled.
It turned out that Cao Cao was greatly injured for a while because of Liu Bei, so he decided to withdraw from Yuzhou and go south to Xuzhou, intending to connect Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou's Qianjun and Huainan to recreate a base of his own.
But his enmity with Liu Bei is as deep as the sea, and naturally he doesn't want Liu Bei to pick up his leaks, so he will be in vain without much effort. So, while leading a military horse to Huainan and Qiaojun with great fanfare, he also planted various flags in the military camp in Anfeng City and outside the city to confuse all sentient beings.
However, several main armies under his command, such as Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu, Cao Ren and others, had already left Anfeng day and night. Except for a few officials to maintain order, the city has become a veritable empty city.
Yan Liang received the flying pigeon transmission from Wang Li from Anfeng City, so he changed his route and left Yanlou.
Zhang Liao nodded and sighed: "Sun Tzu said: Therefore, the momentum of being good at fighting people, such as turning a round stone on the mountain of a thousand people, is also powerful, and this statement is true." An Feng's momentum has changed early, and Sun Ce Xiaoer doesn't know the depths, General Huang Lao is reasonable to take advantage of the situation, and he Sun Ce is undefeated? ”
"General Wenyuan, don't put this high hat on the old man, the old man has a neck problem that he can't bear." Huang Zhong shook his head, with a bit of appreciation and gratitude in his words, "If you want to say that the most good person in the world is good at taking advantage of the situation, I think there is no one else except the lord!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Gan Ning looked at Huang Zhong suspiciously.
Zhang Liao quite agreed with Huang Zhong's words, and bowed his head and said: "The general trend of the world, if you divide for a long time, you will be united, and if you join for a long time, the seven countries will be divided and merged into Qin." After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and merged into Han.
Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled, Guangwu Wancheng raised troops, and the world gradually stabilized. However, since the two emperors Huan and Ling succeeded to the throne, they appointed traitorous eunuchs to implement the party's control, and since then the country has been sluggish. Until the rebellion of Zhang Jiao, the smoke of gunpowder broke out again in Kyushu, and the princes quarreled.
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao were eager to immediately take charge of the center and replace the Han family. They may be talented, or they may be ambitious, or they may be unscrupulous, but they will only become the joke of the world.
The lord is different, although he was born in a famous family and has a noble status, he is benevolent and compassionate, and he has a heart and ambition for thousands of miles, which is the blessing of the world and the blessing of the people, and all the forces that oppose the people are bound to be drowned in the torrent of history. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? The king has benevolence, and the reeds are also wet. Huang Zhong nodded and took over the topic, "Wen Yuan didn't know the plight of the old man back then, but Xingba was completely involved in it, if it didn't have the kindness and benevolence of the lord, I'm afraid that my Huang family would have died out long ago!"
The Lord loves the people and is righteous, but he also understands that the true trend of this world lies in the people. The momentum of the people may be like a spring breeze, the wind blows the grass and grows the trees, and the trees are lush and green all over the south of the Yangtze River; The power of the people may be like a flood, and the water will collapse over the mountains and sink into the swamps and valleys. ”
While the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a scout came galloping from a distance with a torch.
"The three generals, just now I received an urgent report from Anyang: the lord has returned to Shiyuanlu, and personally led the generals Taishi Ziyi, Wen Chou and Han Meng to Huoqiu to attack Lu'an, please ask the three generals to assist the lord to rescue Mrs. Lu!"
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning both responded, and took the newspaper in the scout's hand, but Zhang Liao was slightly shocked in his heart: "Xingba, I remember that when the lord went to Pengze Lake, he had eaten Lu Gong's closed-door soup?" ”
Gan Ning nodded, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong glanced at each other, and the Bright Moon Halberd and the Blood Drinking Knife in their hands waved at the same time, and they shouted loudly.
"The wise man does not endanger the public to do things, and the benevolent man does not violate the righteousness to ask for merit, the lord is so benevolent and righteous, how can we lag behind. Ordered the whole army, leaving a school of men and horses to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners, and the rest of the brothers set off quickly, be sure to assist the lord to rescue Lu Gong from the dangerous place! ”
……
At the head of Lu'an City, the torch planted high at the head of the city was still crackling, and Lu Kang, Lu Xun, Lu Lin and others had already appeared on the city wall.
"Bo Yan, you said that your lord and former general will really come to rescue us? Wouldn't he really be jealous of the fact that the big commander refused the alliance back then? Lu Lin secretly looked at Lu Kang's face, and grabbed Lu Xun, his eyes full of hope.
Yes, Lu Lin, Lu Yuntao and others have long had the will to live and die with Dashuai and Lu'an. But when things may turn around and they can see hope again, who will think that their lives are long?
Lu Xun nodded: "Uncle Lu, you just put your heart in your stomach, Sun Jian is a dog thief who deceives the world and steals his name, trying to split the world for his own selfish interests, and the lord will never ignore the righteousness because of a few words from his uncle in the past."
The lord is a man who is benevolent and righteous, far from being comparable to the princes and today, and Xun'er is not worried about whether the lord will lead the troops here. The only thing to worry about is ......"
"The only worry is that the old man, this old stubborn, will refuse his kindness and drag Lu'an into the sea of misery again, right?" Before Lu Xun's words were finished, Lu Kang had already taken over the topic and turned to the two, and a pair of eyes were as wide as copper bells.
Old stubborn?
Lu Kang actually laughed at himself in front of him for being stubborn?
Lu Lin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, lest Lu Kang beat him up in anger, but Lu Xun looked indifferent, raised his head and looked at him, without blinking his eyes.
"It seems that this Wang Deyu really has some ability, my former snot baby in Lumen actually dares to look at the old man today!" After staring for a long time, Lu Kang suddenly laughed, patted Lu Xun's shoulder heavily and slowly walked down the city wall, and a voice floated from far away from the city.
"If Wang Deyu can put the people first and focus on seeking long-term peace and stability in the world, even if he wants the old man to respect him and break those sour and rotten stereotypes and imperial power constraints, what does it matter?"
