The Wind Rises Qingping Chapter 71 The iron armor under Xihua City is cold, and the night is still cold in Yingchuan Spring
These three are all Peng Tuo's confidant brothers, and they have always been brave and brave on the battlefield, just to break the world of this gate lord clan as soon as possible, rely on a pair of fists and feet to conquer the world, and fight out a glorious lintel of the wife and shadow.
It's just a pity that the three of them have not yet walked out of the land of Yuzhou.
"Ahh
Peng was so angry that his hair stood on end, his muscles were upside down, he tore off his cloak and threw it to the ground, smashed his fist on the war drums, and shouted angrily: "Come on, go out of the city with Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai will personally avenge the three brothers!" β
"Qu Shuai, no!"
Behind him, a black-faced, bearded, and huge Kansai big man held down Peng Tuo, and the other person walked forward slowly with a white feather fan, shook his head and said: "Qu Shuai, the son of a thousand gold can't sit down, the big Han soldiers are in the city under the three brigade commanders Daniel Zhang, Wang Meng and Xu Mad died in battle, the army in the city is unstable, Qu Shuai is the commander of our army, the army is the sea god needle, how can you easily get into danger?" β
"The surname is Zhou, you let Lao Tzu go!"
Peng Tuo glared at the big man fiercely, turned to the white feather fan and scolded: "Xu Maocai, you dog days in the past, if it weren't for Lao Tzu saving you and your mother-in-law, you would have become the bones on the mass grave."
Dare to stop Lao Tzu from avenging his brother today, are you especially the old birthday star hanging himself, looking for death? If you can't give Lao Tzu a reasonable reason, Lao Tzu will live and strip you today! β
Peng Tuo opened his mouth and closed his mouth and closed his mouth, just like a bucket of ice water pouring Xu Maocai from head to toe in winter, so cold that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Damn, you sour Lao Tzu is going to split you today!" Peng Tuo shook off the big man surnamed Zhou, kicked Xu Maocai hard, and shouted.
Well, Xu Mao was a spirit, hiding a little hatred in his heart, his eyes turned, he looked at Peng Tuo flatteringly and said: "Qu Shuai, that Han Emperor Fu Song's talents are numerous, Zhao Yun, Wang Li and others kill people without blood, all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, and there are also Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on the side, Qu Shuai, if you go out of the city, you can protect the enemy from those tigers and wolves?" β
I can't get rid of some three-legged cat kung fu, how can I beat these people? It's just that someone needs to say it in person to cover the ears and eyes of the soldiers under his command, this Xu Maocai is really a wonderful person, and he really deserves to read a few days of books and knows how to read words and feelings.
Peng Tuo thought to himself in his heart, but there was still anger on his face, and his words were even more upright: "Bo Shuai and Huang Shuai can't beat them, do you still think that Lao Tzu is better than the two of them?" However, surnamed Xu, Lao Tzu told you that you have to do it if you can't do it!
Daniel Zhang, Wang Meng and Xu Mad are all warriors under the tent of this commander, Lao Tzu regards them as siblings, how can a sibling hurt his brother and die, Lao Tzu is still indifferent when he is the boss, you say, how can Lao Tzu give an explanation to his brothers! β
Seeing that Peng Tuo was no longer shouting to go out of the city just to ask for an explanation, Xu Maocai didn't know that this yak had been persuaded, and his skin was full of comfort, as if he had taken a bowl of ice water on a dog day: "Qu Shuai!" Daniel Zhang and other brigade commanders have a common hatred, how can they not repay it? However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and now that the Han army is approaching the city, we must not be in a hurry.
You are the backbone of my Xihua, and the righteous army in Benzhou hopes that you can do things like the reckless men in the city? Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once said: In the midst of the strategy, the husband will win thousands of miles away. Qu Shuai, now we should stick to Xihua and wait for the opportunity. β
Peng Du's anger gradually subsided, and his eyes still showed strong resentment and unwillingness, and he said after a while: "Then in your opinion, how should this siege under Xihua City be rescued, and how can this great feud of Daniel Zhang and others be avenged?" β
Xu Maocai was only half a pot of water, how could he understand the matter of marching and fighting, he frowned and thought for a long time and said, "Qu Shuai! There are still more than 10,000 stones of grain and grass in Xihua City, enough for our army to hold on for half a month, the Han army came from Yangzhai, the grain and grass are not enough, how can it last for seven or eight days, it will inevitably be supplied by the Yangzhai defenders.
Moreover, I see that there are no siege equipment such as chariots and wells in the army of the big Han thieves, and the surnamed Wang also said that he will attack the city in the afternoon two days later, so I guess that the Han thieves should have no plans to attack the city on this day or two.
Why don't we take this opportunity to disarm Hughes and wait for work? Qu Shuai sent another detachment army out of the east gate and raided the grain road of the Yangzhai defenders around the back mountain. At that time, the Han army will inevitably be in chaos, and our army will pour out of the city again, and Huangfu Song, Wang Li and others will be captured just around the corner! β
Sun Tzu said: The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More is better than nothing!
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were famous generals in the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao, Wang Li and others also began to emerge, how could they not include grain and grass, military heart, geography, etc.?
Xu Maocai talked eloquently without leaving home, thinking that he could calculate, but in fact, it was just Zhao Kuo's generation talking on paper.
But there is no other way at the moment, Peng Tuo nodded, and shouted at Xu Maocai: "Right, put your dog's head on your neck, and you will personally lead Zhou Cangying to guard the city tonight, if there is half a point of negligence, the two crimes will be punished together, and you will not be spared!" β
It turned out that the big man surnamed Zhou was Zhou Cang among the two generals of Guan Erye!
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is recorded that Zhou Cang, the character Yuanfu, the general of the Guan Gong Ministry, and the Pinglu people of Guanxi. Originally a general of the Yellow Turban Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao and Pei Yuanshao led his troops to gather in the mountains and forests after his death. Yuan Shao went down the mountain and met Zhao Yun by chance, and stabbed Yun to death with a shot, while Cang surrendered to Guan Gong.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, he guarded Jingzhou with Guan Gong. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Gong flooded the Seventh Army and defeated Cao's army, and Cangsheng captured Pang De. In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, LΓΌ Meng crossed the river in white, Guan Gong was defeated and Maicheng was killed by Sun Quan, and Cangwenzhi killed himself.
The turmoil of Wang Li's butterfly wings has become bigger and bigger, Pei Yuanshao is still in Yecheng now, and Zhou Cang also did not appear in Pinglu, but appeared in the Xihua Yellow Turban camp in Yuzhou, becoming a small brigade commander under Peng's account.
Xu Maocai and Zhou Cang bowed their promises together and walked to the head of the city.
The Han army under the city has quietly disappeared, only three lonely corpses lie on the ground under the city gate, and thousands of white tents are scattered in the wilderness in the distance, like the hideous pupils of thousands of wild wolves in the night.
β¦β¦
The Han military camp, the big tent of the Huangfu Song Chinese army.
Huangfu Song was in the middle, and the tiger eyes glanced at the big tent, but saw Zhu Jun and Wang Li on the left, Cao Cao and Fu Xie on the right, Zhao Yun was solemn, Ji Hong was solemn, and the two captains of the infantry Changshui were majestic and majestic with waist swords, and the four officers of the Chinese army were three rivers and four officers, holding long swords in their hands.
Huangfu Song nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since our army came out of Luoyang, it has successively moved to Changshe, Yangzhai and Xihua, destroying a total of 80,000 enemies and captivating more than 30,000 people.
Our army is under the force of thunder and thunder under the city of Xihua, Peng Tuo has no reinforcements outside the army, and there are no fierce generals in the army, so he is trapped in the lonely city with his own strength, and the recovery of Xihua is just around the corner. Today, Deyu persuaded the generals to surrender in front of the formation, which not only deterred Peng Tuo and other stubborn people, but also greatly disintegrated the morale of the defenders. β
"Xie Dashuai!"
Huangfu Song glanced at the two of them approvingly, and then said: "Since ancient times, the army has not gone first before grain and grass. Fu Xie, Ji Hong, as soon as our army has the grain and grass and baggage, it will be sent by Yang Zhai, and the responsibility of patrolling and guarding will be handed over to you.
You will return to meet tomorrow, and you must be cautious along the way to ensure that our army's grain road is unobstructed, and the grain and grass baggage arrive on time, if there is a difference, it will be dealt with according to military law! At noon the day after tomorrow, the three armies gathered under the city to conquer Xihua in one fell swoop! β
"No!" Everyone stood up in unison and clasped their fists and shouted.
"Gongwei, do you have anything to add?" Seeing that Zhu Jun seemed to have doubts, Huangfu Song pressed his hands down to signal everyone to sit down, and asked.
"Yizhen, what Deyu said before the battle today, if the Xihua Moth Thieves surrender the city, will they really not be investigated?"
"Gongwei, is there any joke in the army?" Seeing a trace of doubt in Zhu Jun's eyes, Huangfu Song shook his head with a smile, "When the army was sent to Xihua, Meng De and Deyu both had private advice. Although Song has made a decision now, he also has doubts, otherwise, let's listen to Meng De's high arguments together! β
Deyu also admonished? is worthy of being a famous young man, bold and wise, benevolent and ambitious, and my way is really not lonely!
Cao Cao got up and glanced up at Wang Li, nodded, and arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, don't forget the past, and the teacher of the future."
In the past, Wu'an Jun Yingdu broke the Chu State, Yique gathered to annihilate Han Wei, and the first battle of Changping killed more than 400,000 living forces of Zhao Shu, and he did not taste defeat after more than 70 battles. His people are also brave, and his merits are also great, but his people are upright and unyielding, and after all, they are not defeated by the suspicion of the King of Qin and the literati and kill Du You.
The king of Chu, Julu, broke Zhang Han in a battle, and Wang Li was the commander of Qin, and the fire in Afang Palace could not be extinguished for three days and three nights. Its arrogance is fierce, the prosperity of the soldiers, Gaozu also had to temporarily avoid the edge, but his people are stubborn and scheming, and in the end, they are also only embattled and lead the Wujiang River.
Forgive me for taking the liberty of daring to ask if the two handsome men can compare to Wu Anjun? Brave and invincible to the overlord of Chu? β
Cao Cao's words are a little presumptuous, after all, Gaozu Liu Bang is from the Qin Dynasty and the Chu State to fight for this Han world, and now the name of the opponent is allusion, it is inevitable that Gaozu is a little disrespectful, if those pedantic people or eunuchs in the court hear it, I am afraid it will be another bloody storm, but everyone is an iron-clad soldier, but I think this is true.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, and there was a wry smile in their eyes: "Although the two of us have meager achievements, how dare we compare ourselves with Wu Anjun and Chu Overlord?" β
"Since ancient times, the killing of prisoners has been ominous, and there are countless allusions in history." Cao Cao continued, "In the past, the Qin Dynasty was a gentleman and a virtuous minister, and the Chu Dynasty was a strong soldier, and with the merits of the two of them, they were still brave and could not escape the death of their reputation. Now that the power of the eunuch is in charge, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's generation deceived Shengcong, and the two marshals are both honest and decisive people, and they are not allowed to be eunuchs, so in their opinion, please think carefully about the killing of prisoners. β
Zhu Jun looked at Cao Cao appreciatively, applauded and said: "Yes, seeking the country and seeking a life, what Meng De said is true." But Meng De only knew one but not the other. On the occasion of the former Qin Xiang, the world was in turmoil, and the people had no master, so they surrendered and rewarded to persuade the ear.
Now the sea is unified, but the Yellow Turban rebels; If it is allowed to fall, there is no way to persuade good. Let the thief gain and plunder freely, and surrender when he loses: this long-term ambition is not a good strategy in the end. What's more, it is the long-cherished wish of a soldier to serve the country with his body, and how can he avoid the important because of the eunuch of power! β
I heard that Zhu Jun was conceited, and it was really difficult to persuade. Cao Cao's face showed a hint of hesitation, and it was fleeting.
But I heard Wang Li say on the side: "It's wrong for the big handsome! At the time of Qin Xiang, the people of the world cherished their homeland, and Gaozu was still sheltered; And the two dynasties before and after the Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, it is all-encompassing, and 36 countries such as the Dayue clan, Wusun, and Qiuzi have sent envoys to worship, and we are also tolerant.
Nowadays, although there are rioters in Yuzhou, Jizhou and other states, they are my Han people after all. The six countries of the previous dynasty, the thirty-six places of the Western Regions, and the alien races of other countries, our dynasty treated them with courtesy, why can't the independent region accommodate its own people?
"Liutao" Taigong said: If the king is not good, the country is in danger and the people are in turmoil; The monarch is virtuous and sage, and the country is safe and the people are governed. Blessings and misfortunes are in you, not in heaven. He also said: If the king is not right, the minister will vote for another country; If the country is not right, the people will attack it.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is very powerful, the root cause of it is not in ordinary Li Shu, but in the Gong in our court. If the monarch and the minister are virtuous, the sea is clear, and the river is clear, where can there be the next two traitors in this world? Now that the court situation is erosive and the Han is tired, the two marshals are also people with lofty ideals, and they should lead by example in the court to blow a fresh breeze, how can they cover up their mistakes because of Li Shu's wrongdoing?
Moreover, if the world is hard to get up, and the sickness has been long, if you blindly attack with fierce medicine, it is tantamount to cooking oil with fire, although you can cure the disease, you are afraid that your body will be weaker than before.
The people of the world are like carp crossing the river, how can they blindly fight, and how can they finish killing? The marshal was edicted to beg the thief, and Li thought that he should pacify the rebellion while pacifying the people to recuperate, so as not to lose the long-term law and order in the world. β
Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished. Although what he said is reasonable and well-founded, and his benevolence and righteousness are fully displayed, but after all, Ci is not in charge of the army, doesn't Deyu know?
As soon as this situation opens today, I am afraid that thieves will recur in the future!
Zhu Jun didn't think so, and was waiting to persuade a few words, and suddenly remembered the life-saving grace of the first battalion of shooting under Yangzhai City, just return Deyu's favor, if there is really something in the future, let a few old guys work hard to support it.
"Yizhen, since Meng De and Deyu said so, what are you going to do with those captives?" Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and asked Emperor Fu Song.
Huangfu Song stroked his beard and gestured to Wang Li, Wang Li nodded, got up again and replied: "Those who are hated will be rewarded for their merits; Whoever you love, you will be punished. Be calm and upright, and use the law to prohibit evil and hypocrisy.
Although this captive is not the first evil, if there is no help to do evil, how can Zhang Jiao, Bocai, Zhang Mancheng and others do such a great thing? Therefore, Li thought that the remaining thieves were exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime could not be escaped. Choose his young and strong to fill the gang and baggage team, and his old, weak, sick and disabled officials are sold as slaves and servants, I don't know what the marshal thinks? β
Integrate the young and middle-aged into the gang husband's baggage army, and sell the old, weak, sick and disabled to the family gatekeepers, at that time, these people will have no weapons and swords, so they don't have to worry about their rebellion again, and leave them a way to live, Wang Li's arrangement is not thoughtful.
As for the status of a slave servant, although it is lowly, it is much better than losing one's life, not to mention drinking and pecking, if there is no rebellion, how can there be criminal responsibility? Now that he is forgiven for his sins and his life, can he ask for more?
β¦β¦
The iron armor under Xihua City is cold, and the night is still cold in Yingchuan Spring.
Although it was summer, Xu Maocai stood at the head of Xihua City, and still felt that there was no warmth in Yingchuan this summer.
Looking at the tents and bonfires in the distance, as if he saw a column of murderous iron horsemen and Yao Ri's soldiers, thinking of today's Wang Li Zhao Yun under the city to kill three generals, Xu Maocai shivered, and his heart was cold.
I'm afraid that this city can't be defended, the people of the Yellow Turban on the east road, the courage of Bocai Huang Shao and the defeat of Yang Zhai are in a different place, and now these thirty or forty thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people are demoralized, how can they be able to beat the surging iron flow downstairs?
It's hateful that Peng Tuo is trying in vain to resist the heavenly soldiers with a small earthen city in Xihua, and he wants to resist the great Han iron cavalry with 30,000 or 40,000 flesh and blood.
What's even more hateful is that Peng Tuo, who was a dog, scolded and humiliated in the day, with a short whip and a long stick, and actually stripped himself of the Sven and style bones of a scholar in public, if it wasn't for the wife and children at home to live, how could he stand such a bird anger?
Although the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, the wholehearted support for Peng Tuo in the past two years has grown the yellow scarf in Runan to forty or fifty thousand people, and the original life-saving grace has already been rewarded!
Xu Maocai looked at the heavily guarded Han army camp under the city from a distance, and a trace of madness flashed in his struggling eyes: "Yuanfu, how does Xu treat you every day?" β
Zhou Cang touched his forehead and said, "Where did Maocai say?" When Zhou missed the time of patrolling the camp, if it wasn't for Maocai to defend me, I am afraid that the grass on my grave would be waist-high. βγ
Xu Maocai nodded, looking at Zhou Cang's honest and loyal smile, his mind was like a spring weed, and he grew wildly, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust: "Yuanfu, Xu wants you to go with me to do a big thing that may lose your head, do you want to do it?" β
Isn't what I'm doing now?
Zhou Cang looked at Xu Maocai, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he shouted angrily: "!" β
