Chapter 234: Ma Tan Guarding the Mountain (12/12 for the Night)
Engraving?
What's that?
Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang were both at a loss,
However, Wen Ping, who was stationed in Jiangxia, heard that Liu Chan had developed a method of writing words quickly without copying, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Sun Ben asked someone to bring an experimental engraving, brushed a little ink on the spot, and patted it on the paper, which suddenly showed some vague but very neat words.
He triumphantly boasted:
This is the first engraving method created by the prince, and he has become popular every day, and everyone in the world can read and write.
The prince has always loved heroes, and he will unify the Han dynasty in Japan, and he will inevitably recruit Confucian scholars to revise the "Book of Han" again, and the three generals may wish to write some life stories, and there will be some evidence when it is passed on in later generations. โ
Writing an autobiography, while not a novelty, is not popular either.
Xiahou Shang subconsciously felt that this was a trick on himself.
But on second thought......
If you don't write, someone else will write.
After all, this history is written by the victors, and instead of letting the image of future generations not know what it looks like, it is better to write it yourself and leave a rough template image with yourself.
In history, Ji Han suffered a big loss because of the last hiccups, and there are few records of characters like Guan Zhang in the early stage, and some forces have recorded in detail in junglers.
So it seems that it is very abrupt that two people suddenly become ten thousand enemies.
The three of them thought about it and decided to say yes.
The corners of Sun Ben's mouth immediately raised a strange smile, he knew that these three guys had been fooled.
As an old captive, Sun Ben's analysis of the prisoner's mentality is to be thorough.
The three brothers were all captured with all their might, or they were calculated by the villain, and if they wanted them to surrender, they had to be convinced first.
Give them something inconsequential to do at first, weaken their defenses, and then slowly assign them new tasks.
Later, they unknowingly began to work for the Great Han without knowing it, and by the time they found out that they had become the pure ministers of the Great Han, it was too late.
Besides, how can there be such a thing as writing history books without offending people?
As long as these three brothers are not saints, they will more or less write their own biographies to round out their failures, and then his old colleagues and superiors will appear in the history books as funny images.
Think about it, how Cao Pi would feel when he saw Xiahou Shang say that the battle of the three eastern counties was entirely because of Cao Pi's micro-exercises.
The more Sun Ben thought about it, the happier he felt,
And he also has his own calculations.
In the future, more and more captives will be captured by the prince, and everyone will write their own biographies.
Hmph, I can't afford to offend these three people, and I will have to weigh and weigh those who come to transform them in the future.
ยท
Driving away Sun Ben, who eats rice and doesn't work, Liu Chan feels that the backyard is much more spacious.
However, when he heard that Sun Ben had just moved away, he immediately asked Xu Huang and others to write an autobiography, or write it on paper, and Liu Chan suddenly felt dizzy again.
Because of Liu Chan's activity, papermaking has made rapid progress, but in Liu Chan's subconscious, paper is still a luxury.
Hearing that Sun Ben actually took a stack of paper and asked a group of generals to write an autobiography, he was a little difficult to accept for a while.
Hey, write it, write it,
But it's a good idea.
Well, it's not bad to catch important people later and arrange for them to write autobiographies.
At least it has a little effect on the history books of later generations, and it is much better than raising them for nothing.
I hope these people are a little bit disciplined and won't tout themselves too much in their autobiographies.
Jiangling is very busy now, but Ma Liangyu and others handled it well, but there was no chaos.
It's just that Liu Chan is not there, and no one has decided many things.
Liu Chan first worshiped his mother, forcibly suppressed his desire to play games in a thousand years, and hurried to deal with the things at hand first.
Dongwu has not sent back any information for the time being, and Liu Chan is a little anxious.
The messenger he sent must find Ma Tan and let him run first when he is in danger.
Even if you want to fight, you must abandon the method of fighting on the mountain, and don't play any condescending tactics.
Let's hope it all catches up.
Yu Pan saw Liu Chan's restless look, and said with a smile:
"What is the son worried about?"
Liu Chan was worried that he would be embarrassed by guessing wrong, and he did not spread his speculation and Fazheng's speculation on a large scale before.
But Yu Flip has always been steady, and there should be some gains from discussion.
Liu Chan simply said his guess 1510, staring at Yu Turn, wanting to hear his opinion.
Yu secretly divined "Yi", and did not divinate any great omen, and the son of the heart was wrong nine times out of ten.
But......
Well, my divination level has fallen too far behind, how can I compare to the foresight of the world, maybe there is some strange fate.
Yu turned the right color road:
"What if Cao Wei really attacked Eastern Wu on a big scale?"
This is what Liu Chan is most distressed about.
Although Cao Wei experienced successive defeats, they occupied the Central Plains and Hebei, and their strength was still not something that they could compete with Dongwu alone.
Especially since this year's new crop has just been planted, it is definitely the enemy who is happy to take the risk.
But if Cao Wei really defeated Eastern Wu, he would quickly expand into an even more powerful behemoth.
At that time, his difficulties will be rapidly magnified, and I wonder if the prosperity that Gangneung has finally shown will be destroyed in an instant in the war.
"If Cao Wei really goes to attack Eastern Wu, it is incumbent on our army to move north.
But if Cao Wei really planned for so long, the attack must be very fierce and fierce, and it depends on whether Sun Quan can withstand it. โ
Yu Fu nodded suddenly in realization:
"That's why the prince sent Ma Youchang to Jiangdong, right?"
Liu Chan: ......
Can you talk about such a serious issue without making up your mind, what can you let me say?
ยท
Of course, the news of Ma Tan now can't get out.
The Wei army suddenly attacked, and the number of soldiers in the attack was as high as 50,000, plus the number of people was 100,000.
This is clearly the idea of eliminating Soochow.
Their attack coincided with the rebellion of Han Zong and others, and now Dongwu was already panicking.
If this wave can't withstand it, let Cao Xiu occupy the mouth of Anhui and even cross the Yangtze River,
It is conceivable that Soochow's fate is about to come to an end.
Luo Tong's family is everyone in Jiangdong, but if he follows Cao Wei, he may not be able to maintain his current status.
Therefore, despite the attack of Cao Wei's army, he still insisted on resisting and tried his best to delay the Wei army's attack.
And Zhu Huan is frivolous, and he is already very dissatisfied with being commanded by Luo Tong and Ma Jian this time.
He was resolutely unwilling to follow Luo Tong and others up the mountain, he had to enter the city, and he had to fight to the death with the Wei army to show his ability.
The two worked hard, and the Wu army's grain and grass were quite sufficient this time, and they really built a defensive line near Anhui County, which made the Wei army's offensive speed slow down significantly.
At least when Sun Quan received the news, Anhui County was still in the hands of Wu Jun.
However, the situation remains very serious.
The brave Cao Xiu saw that the Wu army still dared to resist, and he immediately became murderous.
He ordered Sima Yi and Zang Ba to attack Zhu Huan in Anhui County, and he personally led the army to surround Dongshan, preparing to arrange the Wu army on the mountain first.
When he heard that the person who came was Luo Tong, the governor of the beard, he was a little surprised, thinking that the Wu army had already detected the direction of his own attack, and specially transferred such a person.
But later, he grabbed a Wu army sergeant, and asked Cao Xiu to laugh dumbly, saying that he actually came rashly to chase and kill Zhai Dan.
That's easy to do.
At first, I thought he had some plan to ambush,
It turned out to be just a mistake.
Then you're welcome, in the first battle of the south, I will first sacrifice the flag with the head of this Wet Beard Governor.
Seeing Cao Xiu's arrogant appearance, the captured Wu army sergeant was very unconvinced.
He added a sentence by mistake:
"There is another person who is followed by General Luo, who is from Jingzhou, named Ma Yan,
General Luo obeyed his words, and this time he abandoned the city and went up the mountain, which was also his arrangement. โ
Ma Tan?
Cao Xiu seems to have heard of this name.
Uh, by the way, it's the one who came to mourn before...... The envoy of the Shu Kingdom.
Strange, calculate the time, he should have just gone back, why did he suddenly appear here, and chose to go up the mountain.
There must be some kind of calculation.
When Cao Xiu went to Luoyang before, he heard Cao Zhang talk about Ma Yan.
Cao Zhang was full of praise for Ma Tan, saying that Ma Tan was familiar with the art of war and was good at commanding troops, and no one he had ever seen could compare with him.
You must know that Cao Zhang has seen Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, these outstanding advisers.
If Ma Tan is more difficult to deal with than them, then he really needs to be careful with this tactic of going up the mountain.
Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Cao Xiu looked nervous after hearing Ma Yan's name:
"Why should the general be worried?
If Ma Tan is really talented, how can Liu Chan send him here?
He climbed the mountain and held on, although he could know my reality and reality, but my army was full of generals.
If the way is cut off, within three days, his army will disperse in a hurry, and what is there to fear? โ
Cao Xiu nodded slowly and said:
"Okay, then the general will personally lead the army to cut off its path."
"You don't need a general to do it, if you want to lead an army of 1,000, you will live up to the general's trust."
Zang Ba on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the two discussing the matter of cutting off the water source.
Wang Ling's resourcefulness is good, but after all, he still lacks a little experience in leading the army for the first time.
Water cut-off?
You say that the mountains in the Jianghuai region are cut off......
You cut one off and I'll see!
ยท
Ma Tan, who had climbed the mountain, looked down the mountain, and saw that the banners of the Wei army were all over the mountain, and he was sweating profusely.
This doesn't seem to be the same as the Art of War.
When he saw that the Wei army cut off his own way, he was even more afraid of sweating.
But he was anxious, but Luo Tong, who had been panicking before, didn't show much nervousness.
Instead, he nodded approvingly:
"I've heard people say before that this soldier must know the astronomy and the weather.
The young man is familiar with this, so it is no wonder that the prince of the world sent the young man to come.
I already know the child's plan, and next, it depends on Luo's means. โ
Ma Tan: ......
Wang Ling's idea was good, and the combat effectiveness of the Wei army was also quite successful.
They quickly found the Jidao in Dongshan, fought fiercely, and easily occupied the Jidao, waiting for Luo Tong and Ma Jian to be forced to break through due to lack of water.
It's just that Wang Ling, a native of Taiyuan, never thought that there are a lot of roads in the east mountain of Anhui County, and there are even two small waterfalls on the mountainside.
He cut off the road to get water at the bottom of the mountain, and Wu Jun was not affected, but only climbed halfway up the mountain to get water with a little effort.
What he didn't expect was that on the day he cut off the Dongshan Road, a sudden heavy rain suddenly came, which poured all the Wei soldiers into the cold.
Not only that, but this heavy rain showed no signs of stopping for a while,
This made the Wei soldiers who surrounded the mountain suffer enough.
And what's even worse is that after a heavy rain the temperature should drop and become cooler,
But it was rainy for several days, and the temperature slowly rose, and the Wei army, which was stuffy with Qingxu as the main force, was a little irritable.
"What's going on?
Why does this rain stop? โ
If it rains heavily, it will be enough to have a good time.
But for four or five consecutive days, it was cloudy in the morning, and it suddenly rained at noon, when it was the hottest, and the water vapor around was like a steamer, which made these hard-working Wei soldiers cry out and collapse.
But Wu Jun on the mountain lived a very nourishing life.
When it rains like this, they naturally don't have to worry about the water source.
Seeing those stupid Wei soldiers trembling at the water source, the Wu soldiers even let out bursts of wild laughter.
Although Luo Tong's military level is average, his basic common sense judgment is still good.
Seeing that the Wei army was already very tired, he divided his troops into five teams, and took turns to go down the mountain to assault in the past few days, attacking the Wei army's troops guarding the mountain from different directions.
Wang Ling was dizzy by the Wu army, so he simply led his headquarters to attack the mountain.
But he had delayed too long before, and the Wu army had already built a simple offensive on the mountain road.
Coupled with the fact that the mountain roads were slippery and difficult to walk on rainy days, Wang Ling's onslaught not only failed to work, but also caused a large number of casualties among the troops.
After three or four days of attacking, Wang Ling made no progress, and could only ask Cao Xiu for support.
"Ma Tan's use of soldiers is really wonderful, and he deserves Ziwen's praise."
Thinking of Cao Zhang's various beautiful words to Ma Yan, Cao Xiu was quite emotional.
In this case, Ben will attack the mountain himself, but I want to see what tricks you have to resist.
