Chapter 95 The flaws of the Qiang people
In August of the second year of Zhongping, the original Shang Shulang was appointed as the new Sikong Zhang Wen to be the general of the cavalry, and on the holiday, he took Jinwu Yuan Peng as the deputy, led the general Dong Zhuo, the general Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, the army Sima Taoqian, Sun Jian and other generals, led the five schools of the Northern Army and the county infantry cavalry about 100,000 soldiers to Liangzhou.
After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the sea breeze is cold, and the horizontal flute is blown all over the road. 300,000 people were recruited in the moraine, and I looked back at the middle of the month for a while.
A full 100,000 steps to ride from Luoyang, cross the Han Pass, out of Xin'an, Dutong Pass, Yue Xinfeng, wear Chang'an, hunt with flags, chariots and horses, and stop on the road for a day.
"Report!"
On this day, as soon as the army arrived at the camp of Wugong, they saw a scout galloping from the front, the scout was sweating profusely on his forehead, his hair was already attached to his forehead, his clothes were dusty, and there was a faint blood stain on his arm.
Before he reached the door of the tent, the scout had already rolled off his horse and exclaimed, "Commander! General Huangfu, the former commander of the army, was convicted and demoted, and the general Tian Yan and Tingwei under his command have fled since then, and the army on the left has no one to coordinate their own battalions, the country has been lost, and Chen Cang is in danger. ”
Zhang Wen nodded, glanced at the generals under his tent, and asked: "Now that the country has lost and the left defense line is about to collapse, do the generals have a good strategy against the enemy?" ”
"Dashuai, the last general is willing to go!" The majestic voice fell, and a member of the general stood fiercely under the tent. Zhang Wen looked at it, and saw that the general was strong, his face was full of meat, and his beard ran from his cheeks to his chin, and it was Dong Zhuo, the general of the captivity.
Dong Zhuo stood proudly in the tent under the hall, and his voice was like thunder: "Handsome, kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, how can you be a clown who jumps off the beam with one or two?" The last general is willing to lead 30,000 iron horsemen to recover the country, in order to calm my Chen Cang and the heart of martial arts soldiers. ”
"Humph! In the land of the slap of the country, 10,000 Qiang dogs with wolves and Zhong Qiang, Dong Poyu opened his mouth to go to all the iron horses in the 100,000 army, which is really a big appetite! If others don't know, they still think it's a handsome expedition! ”
Another general suddenly stood up, squinted at Dong Zhuo, hugged his fist at Zhang Wen and said: "Dashuai, the last general is willing to lead the army, as long as there are 15,000 iron horses, the last general can take the country in three or five days, and please agree!" ”
Dong Zhuo was furious, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Zhou Shen viciously and shouted: "Zhou Shen'er, you dare to underestimate the general, do you think that the general's long sword is not good?" ”
Zhou Shen applauded, raised his head and laughed: "Dong Poyu's sword sharpens iron and blows hair silently, and it is famous all over the country, Zhou is so scared!" I don't know when I was last year, did Dong Poyu in the Mingyue Gorge of Anping County ask Guangzong Zhang Jiao's long sword? ”
Don't slap people in the face, scold people don't expose their shortcomings, Zhou Shen of the dog day dared to mention my Mingyue Gorge in public, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!
Dong Zhuo was suddenly so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and a wave of anger went straight from the dantian to Baihui, and the long sword in his waist was unsheathed, and the crisp sound permeated the camp tent, like a clear spring shining with repeated cold light and pointed directly at Zhou Shen: "Zhou Shen Xiaoer, if you dare to say one more word, Dong Mou will die today without a place to bury!" ”
Zhou Shen looked at Dong Zhuo with disdain, spat and smashed it at Dong Zhuo's feet, and sneered: "The surname Dong, why do you treat Lao Tzu as a three-year-old child who has never seen blood?" If you want to fight, you will fight, where is so much nonsense! ”
"Presumptuous!"
Deputy Marshal Yuan Peng slapped the desk and stood up, and scolded the two: "The marshal is merciful and unwilling to pursue it, but this place is my Han Shuai camp, not a place for you to fight in private. ”
Seeing that Zhang Wen's eyes were hesitant, Yuan Zhuo was as cold as ice, and the soldiers in the tent pressed their waist knives with their hands, and Dong Zhuo and the two stared at each other stupidly and retreated.
Yuan Peng stepped forward and said: "Great marshal, although the two generals disagree, but what they said is not unreasonable, the traitors are besieging me Fufeng, Feng Yi and Jingzhao in three ways, and now Gaixun in the middle and Xia Yu on the right are as stable as Mount Tai, and the traitors are eager to go down." Only this left-hand army is unmanned, the army is discouraged, the country has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and Chen Cang and Wugong are also in danger.
The top priority at the moment should be to stabilize the areas of Chencang, Wugong, and Huaili, and take the opportunity to return to China and strengthen the left defensive line. At the same time, our army on the right should go out of Fuping, Chiyang to Liquan, and Qianxian to overlook Meiyang, and the army on the middle road took advantage of the situation to show martial arts, and the two armies were encircled.
And under the command of Bian Zhang and Han Sui, only Song Jian and Wang Liangzhou Yicong are in the land of Meiyang, if we and other soldiers surround Meiyang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou will inevitably send troops to rescue the Chinese army, and the pressure on the left and right roads will be sharply reduced, and our army can also fight with the traitor Meiyang! ”
"This plan is a great good!"
Zhang Wen stroked his beard, Huo Ran got up and slashed at the desk with a sword, looked at the tent with both eyes, and issued several military orders:
"Order: Deputy Marshal Yuan Peng is the commander, and the cavalry and infantry under the account are each 10,000 to rush to the aid of the country;"
"Order: The general of the chariot cavalry, Shi Zhaoqi, is the commander, and the chief of Hanyang, Shi Gaixun, and the captain of Huqiang Xia Yu are the auxiliaries, and he leads the army of 20,000 troops out of Chang'an, and Fuping is close to stability;"
"Order: The rest of the generals such as General Dong Zhuo, General Zhou Shen, Army Sima Taoqian, Sun Jian, and Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, entered Meiyang with their own commanders, and the army of Zhao Qi was fighting each other!"
"No!"
……
As Yuan Peng expected, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou received a report from the Chinese army's residence, and they really decided to divide their troops to help, and the pressure on the left and right defense lines was suddenly greatly reduced. And Xia Yu and Gai Xun's troops were also like fierce tigers, and within ten days, they also defeated the rebels of Chang'an, Fuping, and Chiyang, and approached Meiyang.
It's a pity that Yuan Peng is not a god, he just guessed the first half of the story, but he couldn't guess the second half of the story.
Guo, Liquan and Qianxian have been conquered one by one under the fierce attack of the army, and the left and right roads have been stable, but the battle in Meiyang has not fallen in one fell swoop as he wished, but has always been in a state of stalemate.
From August to November, for three months, the Han soldiers fought dozens of battles with the rebels, and in addition to the victories and defeats of both sides, as well as the continuous battles and the bones of Yokono, Bian Zhang Han did not make any further concessions.
"Dashuai!"
As soon as he arrived in Meiyang County, Yuan Peng abandoned his horse and went straight to the Meiyang County Ya, the big tent of the temporary Chinese army, and his clothes and armor sounded with his footsteps: "Marshal, the last general has just received a secret report from the Taishi Ling in Beijing, and there may be broom star offenses in the next few days, which is not conducive to the northwest." ”
"Really?"
"There is no joke in the army, how dare the last general play the marshal?"
"Unfavorable for the Northwest? Hum! These puppets know that the gossip confuses the public, and my elite Han has been fighting in Meiyang for several months, but they dare to say that it is not good for the northwest? If such horsemen are in our army, see if this commander does not cut off their heads! ”
Zhang Wen was furious, his beard was like a steel needle, he slapped it on the desk, and slashed his sword on the table, and the battle map on the table was broken in two, and the place where it was broken was north of Chencang, west of Fufeng.
Zhang Wen's eyes lit up, and his brows suddenly opened
"Broom star is not good for the northwest? Could it be that the rebels are being spoken? Haha, God help me! ”
Seeing that Zhang Wen suddenly frowned and smiled, as if he suddenly had neurophrenia, and as if he had listened to Cai Yong and Cai Bo stroking the piano before, he suddenly went up and down, and Yuan Peng corrected his positive color: "Handsome, if you listen to it, it will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark." Since Tai Shi Ling has passed on the book for thousands of miles, he should attach importance to it, but why is the handsome man laughing? ”
"Haha, what Ben Shuai is laughing at is none other than Ben Shuai himself!" Zhang Wen smiled and comfortably picked up the desk chair and sat down to look at Yuan Peng and said with a smile, "It can be said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Taishi Ling is really worthy of being a person who can watch the stars and measure the good fortune, and a thousand-mile book will solve the mystery of Ben Shuai, which is enough to be a big deal!" ”
Just now I was still saying that I wanted to behead Tai Shiling to show the public, and now I don't want money to praise it, what does this mean?
The more Yuan Peng listened, the more confused he became, and he squinted his eyes and asked: "Marshal, Taishi Ling is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know the deployment of our army and the military situation ahead, so what he said is nothing more than a few words, what is worthy of your pleasure?" ”
"Gongxi, Tai Shiling certainly doesn't know the military situation in front of me, but as the deputy commander of the army, how can you be confused by the authorities? Although our army is in the northwest, there are still 100,000 rebels under Meiyang City, have you forgotten it? ”
Yuan was stunned for a moment, and was even more puzzled: "Huh? Marshal, do you mean that this broom star is not good for the rebels? ”
Tai Shi Ling's letter solved the problem of Zhang Wen's boss, and Zhang Wen suddenly drank a bucket of ice water as if he was drinking a bucket of ice water on a June day.
Zhang Wen was full of spring breeze, looked at Yuan Peng with a smile and said, "That's right!" Gongxi is from Chenjun and has never dealt with Qianggou, which is understandable, but it is really unreasonable to be the deputy commander of the unified army but not know the preferences of traitors.
Whether it is Xiqiang or Dongqiang against our army, whether it is this Shenwolf, Huangzhong Yicong, Liangzhou Yicong, or Sister Le, Beidi Xianling and Anding Zhuqiang, and whether these Qiang totems are white wolves or yellow sheep, do you know that they all have one thing in common? ”
"What do you have in common?"
"Shiraishi!"
"White Stone?"
Zhang Wen smiled indifferently, nodded and said: "It is Baishi, if it weren't for Taishi Ling's thousand-mile biography, Ben Shuai would have almost forgotten that these Qiang people are all groups with Baishi as their faith." There is an old saying of the Qiang people, called: the dragon comes to the head of the Yellow River.
In ancient times, the ancient Qiang originated from the source of the Yellow River of the ice and snow line, known as the white stone as the totem, so the east and west Qiang have eaten snow and snow since ancient times, with white as good and beautiful, and black as ugly. Every time there is a good harvest, war, plague and even marriage and other activities related to the Qiang people, the men and women of the tribe will look for the white stone for worship and worship.
And the broom star in Tai Shi Ling's mouth is a giant star falling from the sky, and when the star falls, it will inevitably leave a white color in the sky. As the so-called success is also Xiao He is also Xiao He, since Baishi is the belief of the Qiang people, is it not a flaw of the Qiang people? If you and I make good use of this, why worry about the Qiang rebels under the city not being chaotic! ”
Yuan Fan suddenly came to his senses, Huo Ran got up and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, this is a great opportunity for our army to gather and annihilate the rebels, how can such an opportunity be missed?" The last general is willing to obey the arrangement of the commander and restore the land of my three auxiliaries in one fell swoop! ”
"Drumming Gathering!" Zhang Wen patted Yuan Peng and smiled, and suddenly shouted at the soldiers outside the door.
A rapid drum horn bull horn exploded suddenly, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and it resounded all over Meiyang County in an instant.
