Chapter 573: Deputy General Wang Ping

It is said that Xu Huang and Xu Gongming sat in the rear army of the Cao Army of the Fifth Road, and the most important task was to protect the grain road between Hefei and the Lujiang River. If the grain and grass are cut off, the grain and grass of more than 200,000 Cao troops can only be supplied for an average of one day. If there is no food and grass after a day, someone has to go hungry, and if there is no food and grass for a few days, I am afraid that they will have to eat their comrades.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no shortage of cannibalism, and the most famous was Liu An. The book recorded: "But it is said that Xuande fled to the mountains on horseback, and when he was traveling, an army came behind him, and when he looked back, it was Sun Qianye." Hug each other and cry. Xuande said: "My second brother doesn't know how to survive, the old and the young are separated, and I will kill myself!" Sun Qian said: "No. Why don't you do it and plan for the future?" According to his words, Xuande looked for a small road to Xu Du, starved of food on the road, and begged for food in the village. But everywhere, when Liu Yuzhou was heard, they all knelt down and ate coarsely. Suddenly, he went to a family to stay, and his family gave birth to worship, and when he asked, it was Orion Liu Anye. Smell is the same sect Yuzhou pastoral, all over the search for wild meat, kill his wife to eat. Xuande said: "What kind of meat is this?" An said: "It's wolf meat." The two of them were well fed. Staying overnight, until dawn, he went to the backyard to fetch the horse, and saw that he had killed his wife in the kitchen, and cut his flesh on his arm. Xuande asked, only to know that it was his wife's flesh, and he was hurt and wanted to take Liu An there. An said: 'When the old mother sees it, don't go far. Xuande thanked him, and then took the road out of Liangcheng. Suddenly, the dust covered the sun, and the mountains and wild horses came. Xuande greeted him, but he also exercised the army, until the side of the Chinese army flag, and dismounted to greet him. also dismount and answer. said that he lost Peicheng, scattered the second brother, and trapped the old and young, and he also cried. even said that Liu An killed his wife for food, and ordered Sun Qian to give him a hundred taels of gold. ”

Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness, but he is actually a master of eating human flesh. Wild historical records record: Liu Bei was forced to move to Guangling due to Lu Bu's sneak attack on Xiapi. The soldiers in the army lacked food and clothing, hunger and poverty, and the generals and soldiers fought each other and ate each other. In the end, the desperate Liu Bei was forced to surrender to Lü Bu, who had him stationed in Xiaopei and attacked Yuan Shu.

Not only Liu Bei is like this, but there are also several generals who eat human flesh, such as Cao Cao's general Wang Zhong, Fufeng people, and few pavilion chiefs. During the chaos in Guanzhong, he had no food to feed his hunger. Later, he took refuge in Cao Cao, worshiped General Yangwu, and sealed the capital of Tinghou. After Cao Pi learned about Wang Zhong's experience of cannibalism, when he was traveling with the car, he hung a skull in the wilderness on Wang Zhong's saddle to make fun of him. Hitting people in the face, this Cao Pi will also disgust people, and he actually humiliates others with this.

Cao Cao, the king of Wei, attacked Xuzhou in order to avenge his father, and fought a decisive battle with Tao Qian and Lü Bu, launching an unprecedented massacre. In those years, food prices skyrocketed tens of thousands of times, and cannibalism was everywhere. Cao Cao's army even slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Surabaya, and held a feast of human flesh to feed the officers and soldiers in the army.

The same is true for General Zang Hong. In the second year of Xingping, Zang Hong was angry because Yuan Shao refused to send troops to rescue Zhang Chao, and Yuan Shao became angry and sent troops to besiege Zang Hong. When the food in the city ran out, Zang Hong killed his concubine to feed the soldiers.

Cao Cao's subordinate mastermind Cheng Yu lost his title because of the supply of human flesh. During the Xingping period, Cao Cao's army was short of grain, so he was stationed in Cheng Yu, who was guarding Dong'e, to supply grain and grass. Cheng Yu collected three days' rations, most of which were mixed with pickled human flesh for Cao Jun to eat. Because of this incident, Cheng Yu's prestige in the court was lost, and his official position in his life failed to reach the level of the third duke.

Early in the morning, Xu Gongming saw that there was no food all night, and his sixth sense was quite bad, so he hurriedly sent a horse to the direction of Hefei City. Hearing the neighing of horses from the Lujiang side, it seemed that they had already begun to fight in the field, and hurriedly sent a horse to Cao Ren's camp. Shortly after the departure of Tanma, Lejin's messenger soldiers had arrived at a gallop, presenting a silk silk with eight big characters written on it: "Hefei City is broken, grain and grass are worried". The faint worry turned into a bloody reality, Xu Gongming held the silk silk printed with eight big characters, his hands that had always been stable and constant trembled slightly, stood up and asked sharply: "Has the Tanma who went to Hefei come back?" ”

The subordinates shook their heads, although Hefei City is close, it is also a hundred miles away, and there was no highway at that time, no matter how fast the speed of the horse exploration, it will take at least half a day to go back and forth. Xu Huang sat on the combat military chair, thought about it and shouted: "Pick up five thousand light horses, abandon the baggage, be fully armed, and follow me to Hefei City." The subordinate was slightly surprised, and hurried down to give the order. Xu Huang called another subordinate and said: "You immediately arrange multiple messengers to go to General Cao Ren to inform me that I have no time to ask for instructions, and I will report after leading the troops to find out the truth." Then send people to Cao Hong, Lejin, and Yu Ban's general camp to report the news, saying that I will lead the troops to Hefei Jiangxia and let them do a good job of rear defense. Send a few more clever people to Jiangxia Qiyue City immediately to report to the lord's camp, saying that I went to Hefei to control the situation. If it is found to be a rumor, I will arrange for someone to arraign me again. ”

The subordinate retreated, and went to make arrangements, Xu Huang called his deputy general Wang Ping, Prince Jun, and said: "Zijun, after I go, you must remember to guard the fence, the camp can be answered by me at any time, don't be greedy." Wang Ping promised.

Xu Huang's deputy general, Wang Ping, was the general of Zhenbei in the late Shu Han period in the official history. Wang Ping, whose name is Jun, is a native of Yizhou, Brazil, and a native of the Tujia family. It turned out to be the deputy general of Cao Cao's general Xu Huang, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for Hanzhong, several times of tug-of-war, known as the Battle of Hanshui. Xu Huang and Wang Ping had a conflict due to tactical reasons, which led to the final defeat, so Xu Huang complained that Wang Ping did not rescue in time, but Wang Ping said that if the rescue lost more camps, Xu Huang was angry and wanted to kill Wang Ping. Wang Ping was also angry in his heart, so he set fire to the camp and led his troops to cross the Han River to join Liu Bei.

Wang Ping's famous battle was the famous Zhuge Liang in history who slashed his horse with tears because of the loss of the street pavilion. During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Wang Ping and Ma Tan guarded the street pavilion together, he refused Ma Tan's order to go up the mountain, and when Ma Tan was defeated and retreated, Wang Ping's army was orderly and the drum beat was loud, which once made Zhang He think that there were ambushes, and finally scared Zhang He away. After retreating, Zhuge Liang killed Ma Jian and generals Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng, and seized the military power of the general Huang Zheng and others, but Wang Ping was deeply valued by Zhuge Liang for his preservation. Promoted to the general Kou and the Marquis of Fengting, led the ace army of Shu Han to fly the army, and accompanied Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition many times. After Zhuge Liang's death, Wang Ping guarded Hanzhong, and when Cao Shuang led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong, he was repelled by Wang Ping and was crowned the Marquis of Anhan.

Wang Ping agreed repeatedly, Xu Huang was strict in governing the army, and he knew that the king was stable and reliable, and he knew the soldiers bravely, so he ordered 5,000 cavalry and rushed to Hefei City with confidence.

Not to mention Xu Huang's careful arrangement, not to mention Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong in Hefei City, he woke up refreshed, hurriedly played horses and guns, and led his troops to review the city defense from all sides. Seeing that the four gates were all strong soldiers and horses, and the people were eating pot pulp, and enthusiastically sending food and water to the soldiers defending the city, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Although the atmosphere is inevitably tense at the moment of the war, the officers and men of the Qinglong Army are still united and their morale is high. Zhao Yun remembered that there were hostages like Cao Ang and Xiahouba in the city, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence greatly, it was the city that was in the people, and the city was dead. Zhao Yunxin walked into the small courtyard where Cao Ang was imprisoned, and saw the captured brown divine horse at a glance, looking at him majestically, it was Cao Ang's mount. Zhao Yun is a horse lover, and he couldn't help but go over to stroke its mane, and the horse shook its head and tail, seemingly impatient with Zhao Yun's stroke. But Zhao Yun worked harder in his hands, and the horse finally quieted down.

Zhao Yun saw Cao Ang with a sword inserted in the horse bag, remembering that Cao Ang's swordsmanship was quite sharp, and took out the long sword. The ancient scabbard shone with a dark luster, and I don't know how many times it has been rubbed by someone's hand, Zhao Yun pulled it casually, only to hear Cang Langlang's thin dragon groan, the sound of metal vibration knocked into Zhao Yun's ear drum, and the snowy flowing water like brilliance jumped out of the scabbard, illuminating a patio, and the guards behind Zhao Yun couldn't help but cry out, and said in unison: "Good sword!" ”。
