Chapter 0903: Ambush
When Tian Pengzu heard the words of his own adult, he asked in surprise and joy:
"It turns out that the Lord wants to ambush the Wu people here?"
Then he immediately wondered again:
"How do you know that the Wu people will definitely pass through here?"
"I'm not an immortal, how dare I say that the Wu people will definitely pass through here?"
Tian Yu shook his head and smiled, "The art of war is cloudy: you can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy." ”
"Chengshan was called the end of heaven by the first emperor, the closest to Liaodong. The Wu people returned from Liaodong, and if they wanted to take shelter from the wind and waves as soon as possible, the nearest place was here. ”
"So as human beings, they are most likely to choose this place."
"All I have to do is to be prepared here, lest I miss the enemy, which is invincible."
"As for the enemy, now it's up to the Wu people to come over and give us this opportunity."
Tian Pengzu listened to it and was convinced.
Tian Yu observed for a long time on the tower view of Chengshan, until he kept in mind the terrain near Chengshan, and then came down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the father and son came down from the mountain, and they saw Cheng Xi, the assassin of Qingzhou, waiting at the foot of the mountain with the generals in the army.
"Tian Taishou, Your Majesty's edict to stop the expedition to Liao has come down, why do you still let the army garrison here? Don't you know that this is a waste of money and food? ”
At first glance, Cheng Xi looks gentle, which is in line with the image of a scholar in this era.
The only thing that makes people feel a little uncomfortable is the eyes.
To be exact, there is a little gloom in his eyes, which makes people not like it very much.
It's just that when he said this and turned his head to look at the generals around him and behind him, his eyes softened again.
So all the generals in the Qingzhou army laughed.
In fact, not only Qingzhou Assassin Shi Cheng Xi, but also many people in the army, their status is much higher than Tian Yu's.
What's more, the old man in front of him is still an outsider.
But now, everyone has to do his bidding, so no one will feel happy.
In the face of Cheng Xi's provocation and the laughter of the generals, Tian Pengzu was furious, he took a step forward, pressed the scabbard on his waist with his left hand, and was about to draw the knife with his right hand.
On the contrary, Tian Yu was much calmer.
He stopped his son, but his eyes looked at Cheng Xi, and said calmly:
"Cheng Envoyjun, Your Majesty just ordered to stop the conquest of Liao, but he didn't say that he would immediately collect the troops, let alone take back the runes, so now I still have the right to supervise the armies of Qingzhou."
"So," he said with mockery in his indifferent eyes, "Is Cheng Yuanjun planning to disobey Tian's dispatch now?" ”
Tian Yu stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Tian Pengzu understood, took the talisman from the hand of the guard, and handed it to Tian Yu.
One force will drop ten.
Tian Yu took the rune in his hand, and Cheng Xi's face changed.
Seeing Tian Yu's mocking eyes, Cheng Xi felt that the other party looked at him like a clown.
But in front of His Majesty's Fu Jie, Cheng Xi could only smile and say:
"How so? I just think that now that foreign enemies are peeping into the realm, the country is in difficulty, and it is better to save money and food......"
Great Wei seems to occupy eight points in the world, and it is in the middle.
But in fact, there are Hu people in the north, who have violated the border year after year.
There is Shu Kou in the west, and there is one Kou side after another.
There are Wu Lu in the south, and the north commits every year.
Not to mention that over the years, Dawei first lost Longyou, and then Liangzhou.
Now the Shu people are becoming more and more rampant, coercing Guanzhong, and most of the elite soldiers of the Great Wei are arranged in Guanzhong, just in case.
Therefore, now the Great Wei can be truly stable and not invaded by foreign enemies, but Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou.
Probably in conflict with the national fortunes of the Wei State, Jizhou has either been a major drought or a locust plague over the years.
There are only a few years of stable life, and during the reign of the first emperor and His Majesty, it was also not peaceful.
In order to move the political center of Wei to Luoyang, the first emperor moved 100,000 households in Jizhou to enrich Henan in the first year of his accession.
Then in the fourth year of the early Huang Dynasty, there was a big locust plague in Jizhou, and hunger was everywhere.
And in the second year of Taihe, that is, the year of the Battle of Longyou, from Guanzhong to Guandong, the territory of Great Wei was full of great drought.
First of all, there was a big defeat, and then a big drought, if it wasn't for the solid foundation of the Great Wei, I was afraid that if it was not broken by the external enemy, it would be chaotic internally.
Up and down the Great Wei, everyone feels bitter, how do you know that this is just the beginning......
Because there was another defeat in Shiting and Xiaoguan, Liangzhou fell into the hands of the Shu people......
The foundation accumulated by Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen for two generations has finally been completely defeated over the years.
The soldiers of these states in the Kwantung region had to send money, food, and soldiers to the surrounding borders.
In addition, they have to endure the ingenuity and plundering of the Kwantung clan, and the tuntian opened during the period of Emperor Wu has already been divided up by the wealthy family.
Runan is now the largest existing tuntian in several states in the Kanto region, and Tian Yu, as a taishou, naturally knows these situations.
So for what Cheng Xi said, although he knew that this was the other party's excuse, Tian Yu had to explain:
"In recent years, the land of Jianghuai has been frozen, and the days are very cold, and the fleet sent by Wu Lu to Liaodong only went to Liaodong after the beginning of spring, and will definitely not bring winter clothes."
"Therefore, they must return to Wu before the winter, otherwise it will be difficult to sail, and even the people on the ship may not be able to withstand the winter cold."
"Now that winter is only a month away, the Wu Lu fleet must be in a hurry to return to Wudi. Therefore, in my mind, Wu Yu's fleet will be fast for a few days, and slow for more than ten days, and will return. ”
"If they don't pass through Chengshan, if they pass through Chengshan, I will stay a little longer and set up an ambush here in advance, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
Cheng Xi wanted to ridicule Tian Yu's whimsy, but after all, he was the assassin of Qingzhou, and he always had a brain.
If after Tian Yu's army left, the Wu people's fleet really came, then he was unprepared, wouldn't he have watched the enemy leave?
When His Majesty learns of this, he will definitely punish himself.
And if you let Tian Yu stay for a little longer, the Wu people will come, and it just so happens that he can also get some credit.
If Wu people don't come, then they can also go to the chapter to tell Tian Yu, just saying that he wasted money and food in vain.
After figuring out this section, Cheng Xi pretended to be disdainful on his face, and snorted:
"General Tian, when will the Wu people return, how can you be sure? Even if it is returned, it is unknown whether it will pass through the mountain. ”
"If the Wu people don't come, won't the soldiers have to wait here all the time? Why don't you tell me about it for a while? ”
Tian Yu nodded:
"What Cheng Envoy Jun said is very true, then I will wait for half a month, if the Wu people do not arrive by then, there is no need for Cheng Envoy Jun to play, I also have to ask Your Majesty for guilt."
"So much the best!"
Cheng Xi was overjoyed, and secretly said that this is what you said, if the Wu people really don't come, see how I play to Your Majesty.
After Tian Yu and Cheng Xi made an agreement, they took Chengshan as the center to personally observe the dangerous places of various mountain islands and arrange the ambush army.
At this time, the wind and waves were high, and the generals of Qingzhou led the army to arm, and they all complained.
didn't feel bad in the process, and wanted to sue afterwards, but he didn't secretly do anything.
In addition, Tian Yu held the talisman, so the ambush was arranged, and there was no accident.
Just waited for nearly ten days, and did not see the Wu fleet, the generals of Qingzhou complained, but also couldn't help laughing at Tian Yu, saying that he was waiting for the enemy in the open space and raising a basket to catch the rain.
At this moment, even Tian Pengzu was a little breathless:
"My lord, if the Wu people really don't come, I'm afraid that Cheng Xi won't give up easily, and the adults still have to prepare as soon as possible."
Tian Yu reprimanded:
"The deadline has not yet arrived, what are you panicking about? And I am loyal to the country, this time there is no selfishness, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, I am afraid? ”
Tian Pengzu sighed, not daring to say more.
But in my heart I secretly said:
When the adult was in Emperor Wu, he was already the Taishou of Yiyang, and later he was promoted to the Taishou of Nanyang.
During the time of Emperor Wen, he served as the captain of Karasuma and guarded the border for the Great Wei.
How much credit has been made in the past ten years?
Who knew that His Majesty would just transfer the adult from Youzhou to Runan, and actually let the adult become a Taishou again......
Now it is said that the adults should supervise the Qingzhou armies in the position of Taishou, but in fact, they can't trust the adults, and let Cheng Xi be clamped down on the side?
To put it bluntly, it is to know the talents of adults and use the ability of adults, but they are unwilling to reward adults for their merits, and they are given high positions.
Thinking of this, Tian Pengzu felt a little indignant in his heart:
To put it mildly, this is simply treating your own adults as a foot cloth, taking it out and wiping it when you use it, and throwing it aside when you are finished!
The adults have worked hard for Dawei for more than ten years, and now their hair and beard are white, and they have reached the age of ear shun, but they are still only too guarded......
What kind of Mingjun is this?
It's just that he is dissatisfied and dissatisfied, but Tian Pengzu knows that his family's early experience is also an important reason why it is difficult to be promoted.
Because the adult entrusted himself to Liu Bei in his early years, and later because of his grandmother's old age, the adult had to leave Liu Bei and return to his hometown.
After Emperor Wu pacified Hebei, the lord was under the command of King Rencheng (i.e., Cao Zhang) all the year round.
Compared with Wang Xiong, Cheng Xi and others, the adults have no family background, and they are not His Majesty's henchmen, so it is difficult to want a high position......
Just when Tian Pengzu was sighing, he suddenly saw a spy come to report:
"General, there is military intelligence ahead!"
"Quick talk!"
Tian Yu, who had always had a calm face, suddenly got up.
"There is a fleet ahead, but it is still far away, and I can't see if it is a Wu ......"
"Let's go, go to Chengshan Tower!"
Louguan was built on Chengshan, these days, the sea breeze is too strong, Louguan can't stay for a long time, so Tian Yu has been staying in the army waiting for the news in front.
At this time, when you hear the report of the spies, where can you still hold it?
But when I saw the walking like flying, I climbed the stairs and looked into the distance.
Tiangong seems to be making a beauty, unlike the other day, which has been raining.
The sun hangs high in the sky, sweeping away the coldness of these days.
The wind blew away the fog on the sea, and people could clearly see that at the end of the sea, there was a huge fleet of ships, heading in the direction of Chengshan.
As the fleet continued to approach the coast, Tian Yu could finally see the tall mast and the hull of the ship like a tall building on the sea.
"This is indeed the fleet of the Wu Kingdom, there is no doubt about it! There is no one in the world who can have such a fleet than Wu Yu's sailors! ”
Tian Yu showed a relieved smile on his face, "God help me!" ”
Unbeknownst to him, the fleet of Wu Guo, which had been targeted, had all lowered their boats and began to prepare to dock.
Zhou He, the commander of the fleet, was standing at the bow of the ship with high spirits, and behind him was the towering hull of the ship.
The ship was extremely tall and could accommodate 2,000 soldiers and horses.
A boat that can run horses, naturally there will be horses.
Zhou He listened to the neighing of horses in the cabin behind him, and immediately commanded loudly:
"When you get off the ship later, pay attention to settle the war horse first, don't make a mistake!"
"No!"
This trip was sent by King Wu to Liaodong, not only got the promise of Gongsun Yuan, but also got 300 good war horses, and it was really a full return.
Thinking of King Wu's reward after going back, Zhou He couldn't help but be satisfied.
However, the deputy envoy Pei Qian, looked at Chengshan lying on the shore like a monster in front of him, and asked with a little worry:
"General, this is the land of Wei thieves, we really want to rest here?"
Zhou He nodded:
"The New Year is in a hurry, and the soldiers are tired these days, and they need to rest before they can move forward."
Pei Qian naturally knew that the soldiers needed to rest, but he still reminded:
"Even so, why don't you let someone go ashore and reconnoiter first?"
Zhou He laughed and said:
"In terms of the benefits of boats and boats, I want to say second, who dares to call it first? Not to mention that over the years, the Wei thieves have suffered a series of defeats, and it is not easy to protect themselves, so how can they have extra troops? ”
"This is the hinterland of the Wei thief, and the army must be empty, so what is there to fear? If you let the detective go first, and then you have to delay it for another day, the soldiers are afraid that they can't wait. ”
"When the time comes, let the Wei thief react, it's not beautiful. And the Wei thief is not an immortal, An Neng knew in advance that I would go ashore here at this time? ”
When Pei Qian heard this, he felt reasonable: "What the general said is very true. ”
While the two were talking, the ship was ready to dock.
After Zhou He gave the order, the Wu soldiers set up planks one after another and cheered and disembarked.
These days, the sea has always been high and the waves are high, and people are tired, and it is really gratifying to be able to go ashore to take shelter and rest at this time.
Even coach Zhou He couldn't wait to go ashore.
However, the deputy envoy Pei Qian also needed to arrange the affairs of the soldiers after they got off the ship, so he did not come down with him.
Zhou He stepped on the ground, only to feel that the whole person was a little swaying, and he didn't get used to it for a while.
"Come, follow me to the mountain ahead. Also, send out people to look around. ”
As the commander-in-chief, he naturally had to observe the terrain so that he could arrange camping.
led the people away from the shore and was about to walk up the mountain at the foot of the mountain, but suddenly there was a war drum on the mountain, and countless Wei troops appeared in the forest.
"Kill Wu Dog!"
"Kill!"
Arrows rained down suddenly, and at the same time there were rolling stones of wood and rolling down with a bang.
changed his elbows and armpits, and he was stunned when he landed!
It was the guards beside him who blocked Zhou He extremely quickly, preventing him from being shot into a hedgehog in the first wave of arrows.
"General, get back to the ship!"
Zhou He was pushed by the guards, and he reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and ran to the beach.
It's just that his boat is the largest and most conspicuous, and he is being hugged off the boat, and his clothes are the most distinct.
Tian Yu had already kept a close eye on him.
I could only hear a shout from the side: "Where are the thieves going?" ”
But seeing a middle-aged man leading a group of Wei soldiers, he blocked the way.
Zhou He secretly screamed bitterly!
This time he went to Liaodong, not to fight, so he naturally wore a fancy dress.
After going ashore, he didn't know that there was an ambush, so naturally he didn't wear armor, but just wore a sword.
"Escort the general!"
The chief of the guard shouted and led the people to rush forward.
"Don't even think about running!"
Tian Pengzu was also a character who followed Cao Zhang to guard the northern border back then, how could he easily let the thief in front of him, who was obviously a big man, run away?
At that moment, he personally led the soldiers to rush up.
Zhou He drew his sword in his hand, and was about to find a way to the sea, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing behind him, and he was so shocked that he looked back, and it turned out that the Wei army ambushed on the mountain had arrived!
Zhou He raised his sword and wanted to rush, but there were many people on the other side, and most of them were long weapons, where could he rush out?
After a while, Zhou He, who had no armor, was stabbed to death by random shooting.
The boss here fell into death, and the Wu soldiers on the shore of the mountain were not much better.
They had just come ashore and were defenseless, and the whole army was in disarray.
The Wei army suddenly rushed over, and the Wu soldiers cried and screamed, hugging their heads and running away.
Those who reacted quickly rushed to the ship, and those who reacted slowly could only become the military merits of the Wei army.
Pei Qian, who was on the boat, had already seen the situation on the shore, and his first reaction was to send someone off the boat, wanting to rescue Zhou He.
It's just that the shore is chaotic, and there are Wei soldiers who want to take advantage of the defeat of the Wu soldiers on the shore and rush to the boat with the rout.
Look at Zhou He at the foot of the original mountain, he has long been submerged in the Wei army and disappeared.
Pei Qian gritted his teeth, raised his sword and climbed onto the boat, a rout soldier who was still crying, and said sharply:
"Remove the planks and return to the sea!"
The surrounding Wu soldiers thought that they had misheard the military order, and they were a little hesitant.
Pei Qian was furious, and stabbed to death Wu Bing who did not obey the order with a sword:
"What are you doing! Don't go yet! ”
Only then did Wu Bing on the boat react, and began to hurriedly remove the plank, without hesitation, giving up those comrades who were still on the shore.
