Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 68 The Strong Man Breaks His Wrist
Outside the rear army's tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the soldiers of General Yingyang Zhonglang's cold faces pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, preventing all irrelevant personnel from approaching the tent within ten steps. A military doctor argued a little, and the bright steel knife was directly pressed against his chest. So, there was complete silence outside the big tent.
In fact, the soldiers were also muttering in their hearts, it had been more than two hours, and they kept seeing a general with a famous helmet and armor hurrying in, and even the former army commander Huangfu Song and his son had brought several generals. However, except for General Sima Gaofeng of the rear army, who left in a hurry, no one walked out of the big tent for half a step, and the marching lord Bo Sima Zhi personally sent food and drinking water in. Could it be that the generals even ate and drank Lazar in the tent? What kind of military affairs will they discuss? It's a pity that even the pro-soldiers have to stand far away, and occasionally they can hear a few faint voices, but they can't hear anything clearly.
In the big tent, it is even more solemn and murderous. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were silent, Nan Ying and Gao Shun frowned, and the Sima were all silent, only Huangfu Jianshou was arguing with Chun Yuqiong, although the two tried their best to lower their voices, they were still red-faced.
Huangfu Jianshou was obviously a little excited, and his waving movements were exaggerated: "Generals, since it has been determined that the enemy army will attack by water, then the only countermeasure of our army is to attack in advance!" The last general suggested that the front army and the rear army should join forces and immediately attack the enemy pass in front of them, and open the road at all costs! ”
Chun Yuqiong stood up with a "huh": "Huangfu Sima, this official has just come from the enemy's pass, according to the observation of this official, the terrain there is dangerous, there are many defenders, and it is absolutely impossible to easily capture it with our army's 20,000 horses!" A strong attack will only increase the number of casualties! ”
"And!" He sneered: "Our army is attacking the front with all its might, aren't you afraid that the tens of thousands of enemy troops behind will take the opportunity to copy our rear road?" ”
Huangfu Jianshou exclaimed angrily: "According to the meaning of the lord, can't our army wait for death here?" Didn't you say that the enemy forces in front of you have already begun to pack up! The last general believes that they will burst the embankment in half a day at most! ”
He turned his face sideways and said in a low voice: "Even if you die in battle, it's better than feeding fish and shrimp!" It's really a constant break! ”
Chun Yuqiong's face froze, and he said, "Huangfu Sima, are you accusing this official of being incompetent?" ”
The atmosphere in the tent was immediately cold again, not only Huangfu Song's heart was in a hurry, but even Zhu Jun frowned. Chun Yuqiong's identity is transcendent, although he is only a nominal envoy of the prison army, he directly represents the Son of Heaven, and is no different from an angel. Huangfu Jianshou is just a little Sima, so he is really a little thick!
"Of course he didn't mean that!" Everyone was stunned, because it was not his father who helped Huangfu Jianshou to round the field, but Nanying.
He said slowly: "If you are really in a desperate situation, even the general can only fight hard!" As a soldier, if you must die, you must die vigorously, how can you be a floating corpse in the sewage? ”
"Huangfu Sima wants to express this meaning, right? But! He glanced at the surprised Huangfu Jianshou: "Chun Yu ran thousands of miles and worked tirelessly for the country's society, which will be deeply admired!" So please also pay attention to your words! ”
Huangfu Jianshou was a straight person, but he was a little ashamed when he heard this, he stood up and said, "Yes! The last general knows! Please forgive me! ”
Chun Yuqiong smiled bitterly: "Forget it, how can this official really be angry?" They are all anxious by the current situation! Huangfu Sima, please sit down, if the Yellow Turban Army really launches a water attack, according to the monks of Luoyang White Horse Temple, maybe our brothers will have to go to the same life in Bliss for a while! ”
Everyone was silent.
Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent, and Nan Ying perked up and said, "It must be Gao Feng who has come back from investigating the situation, and listen to what he has to say!" ”
"The last general has been investigated all the way to the bank of Yingshui, and the situation has basically been clarified!" Gao Feng's expression was quite tired, and in more than two hours, he could not do it at all for ordinary scouts. "The Yellow Turban Army is really preparing to attack our army by water!"
"The last general found that the Yellow Turban Army used the embankment on the bank of Yingshui to raise it, and its water level is slowly rising! Although the current water level is not enough, all our army will be drowned! As soon as Gao Feng's words came out, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"But once the embankment breaks, the two large camps in front and behind our army are bound to become a Ze country!" Gao Feng's next sentence made everyone's hearts heavy, "Not only can the grain and grass not be saved, but it will also be a heavy blow to the morale of our army!" ”
"The most frustrating thing is that!" Gao Feng said bitterly: "The river embankment is long, and our army knows that the enemy will attack by water, but we simply don't have enough troops to prevent them from breaking the embankment and releasing water!" ”
"What a vicious plan!" Gao Shun said angrily: "The enemy army is definitely premeditated, no matter how much damage the water attack will cause to our army, at least our cavalry units have lost their effect!" ”
Gao Feng nodded and said, "Not bad!" The last general walked around the neighborhood, but he didn't even see a single house, only some abandoned houses. It seems that the Yellow Turban Army moved the nearby people in advance in order to avoid leaking the news! ”
"No wonder!" Chun Yuqiong said suddenly: "The Yellow Turban Army blocked the river and detained all passing ships, I'm afraid it's also for this purpose!" ”
Zhu Junmu said: "It seems that we were defeated this time, the enemy army secretly did so many tricks, it's ridiculous that we didn't know it, and we just crashed into it!" ”
Huangfu Song's heart was blocked when he heard this, and Zhu Jun obviously also secretly blamed him for insisting on going his own way that day and insisting on retreating to Yingyang, which led to today's crisis.
He got up slowly, arched his hand towards Nan Ying and said, "Nan Ying Yang, now I will not say much, whether it is offensive or defensive, please decide!" ”
Nanying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what does this mean? Is it really convinced, or is it shirking responsibility? He smiled and said: "The general also said that a frontal attack is a helpless move, but if there is a little opportunity, the general will never gamble with his own life and that of his brothers!" ”
"After all, this soaking in water is also death, and a frontal hard attack is also death, and the taste is not good!" He smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to be alive?" ”
"Oh? Could it be that General Nan has some clever plan to turn defeat into victory? Zhu Jun couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope.
"Turning defeat into victory? No, no, no! It's hard to find someone who can come up with such a clever plan at such a time! Ben certainly didn't have that ability! Nanying said calmly: "The idea of this general is that since he can't beat it, of course he has to run!" ”
"Run?" Everyone was in a daze, and although Huangfu Jianshou had some changes to him because Nanying helped him round the field, he still couldn't help shouting: "How to run? Do you want my majestic Han Heavenly Army to escape? ”
"What's wrong with running away?" Nan Ying sneered at each other: "Thirty-six strategies are the best policy!" If you don't find a way to get out of this ghost place first, will it be very face-saving for you and me to soak the corpses of the Han Heavenly Army in the water? ”
"What's more, running away is also a science!" He sneered: "You tell us about the current situation of our army, can you run if you want to?" ”
"Ben's idea is!" Nanying turned around, pointed to the map behind him, and said: "Now the situation of our army is that there are 60,000 enemy troops in the north to cut off the retreat, 30,000 enemy troops in the south to block the direction, and in the east is Yingshui, which may kill our army. Then the answer is not asked, our army can only venture through the stretching mountains in the west, from the vicinity of Jiaxian, can detour to Yingyang, and then attack from behind 30,000 enemy troops! ”
"Of course! You can see this as an escape! Nanying sat down slowly, and said lightly: "But Ben Jiang thinks this is just a strategic shift!" Feel what you think! ”
"Into the mountains!" The generals were stunned together, and Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Although this method is good, there is one thing that cannot be realized, what about the nearly 10,000 war horses of our army?" They simply can't all be brought into the mountains! ”
"Yes! What if our army enters the mountains and the enemy enters the mountains in pursuit? And if they set fire to the mountain......... "The person who said this was Pei Yuanshao, and he still remembered the burning of Thorn Mountain that day, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
Chun Yuqiong is a native of Yingchuan and is extremely familiar with geography, so he also objected: "It's not appropriate! Although the mountains to the west are not dangerous mountains, they stretch for at least dozens of miles, and almost no one has ever been able to successfully cross them, and it is even more impractical for our 20,000 troops to cross them! Not to mention other difficulties, how to solve food and drinking water? ”
"Alas! I didn't expect to attract so many voices of opposition! Nanying cried and laughed: "Fortunately, Ben will be prepared, so I will explain it to you one by one!" ”
He pointed at Chun Yuqiong and said, "Let's talk about the question you asked first!" Is it scary to be in the mountains for tens of miles? You ask Gao Feng, when Ben trained them back then, it was normal to go over dozens of miles of mountainous areas! As for food and water, of course, it is a backing mountain, this will be an expert, you just have to rest assured! ”
Chun Yuqiong was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw Gao Shun and Gao Feng nodding together, he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Let's talk about Pei Sima's problem again!" Nan Ying said: "His concerns are not unreasonable! But it's a bit unfounded! Our army marched west into the mountains, but the northwest wind blew these days, and if the Yellow Turban Army dared to set fire to our army's back, I was afraid that it was they who burned to death first! ”
"As for the question you mentioned about them going into the mountains to pursue!" Nan Ying said proudly: "Ben will occasionally put a few crazy words!" When it comes to mountain battles, there shouldn't be many people in the world who will win against this general! If they dare to come, they can be wiped out in the mountains! ”
"I believe this!" Gao Shun nodded, "Even if someone can really defeat you, it will never be a member of the Yellow Turban Army!" ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were taken aback together, and they suddenly found that they seemed to be getting more and more unable to see through Nanying. Only Huangfu Jianshou was unconvinced and let out a sneer.
Pei Yuanshao's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "The last general has been taught!" Now there will be no problem with the end! ”
"Alright! Finally, let's talk about the problem mentioned by Captain Huwei! Nanying finally showed a hint of reluctance: "What he said is not wrong at all!" It is impossible to bring nearly 10,000 war horses into the mountains, and it is already the limit to be able to bring a few hundred! The rest can only be abandoned! ”
"What! How can this work? As soon as these words came out, all the generals blurted out and shouted: "How can so many war horses give up easily!" ”
In fact, since the predicament, not no one among the generals has thought about the possibility of retreating westward to the mountains, but once they thought of the problem of nearly 10,000 war horses, they all immediately dispelled this idea. Not to mention that the war horse is the most important material of the Han army, and it is the only weapon to deal with the pure infantry Yellow Turban Army.
Before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the minimum price of an ordinary war horse also reached 30,000 yuan. After the outbreak of the Great War, the price of horses soared, and if it was a good war horse, it could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. If calculated in this way, the total value of the more than 8,000 war horses of the Han army will be a shocking huge number. If you abandon it casually, once the court investigates it in the future, I am afraid that everyone present will not be able to afford it.
Nan Ying slowly stretched out two fingers: "First, for this general, the lives of the soldiers are the most important, do you still have the heart to take care of the horses if you can't take care of them?" Second, since the war horses are precious, even if they fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, they will be well fed, as long as our army can finally win, these war horses still belong to us! ”
"At a critical moment, a strong man can resolutely break his wrist, let alone a war horse?" He slapped the case a few times: "Ben Jiang has made up his mind, and if anyone in the DPRK and China blames him for this in the future, Ben Jiang will bear it!" Brother Zhong Jian, you come to be a witness! ”
"I'm afraid not!" Chun Yuqiong smiled bitterly: "The person in charge of logistics and military supplies is Lord Zhang Rang, who is in charge of the logistics and military supplies, with his deep friendship with you, how can he be guilty because of this!" ”
"It's just, it's really distressing!" He said bitterly: "So many long-trained war horses! ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were dumbfounded when they heard it again, it turned out that this Nanying raised his hands and eyes to the sky, and even Zhang Rang didn't dare not give him face.
"Okay!" Nan Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Then all the problems are solved!" If it is getting dark today, please take immediate action and secretly move the Han army to the west in batches with the help of night! ”
"Moving in batches? That's too slow! Gao Feng was puzzled: "General Chun Yu has already said that the enemy army has begun to pack up, which means that they may break the embankment at any time and release the water!" Why do you still have to enter the mountains in batches, aren't you worried that the enemy will flood our camp at night? ”
"In the eyes of the enemy, we have become caged birds!" Nanying sneered: "And according to what you said, the river has not yet reached the most dangerous level, and of course the enemy army will not be so cheap to us!" They pack up just to prepare for a rainy day, and they want the water level to accumulate higher so that they can drown us all in one fell swoop! ”
"General Nan is right!" Even Huangfu Song nodded frequently and said: "If our army moves too much and arouses the vigilance of the enemy army, then they will desperately break the embankment, then we are really finished!" ”
Gao Feng suddenly realized: "I see! That's why my army had to evacuate quietly in batches under the cover of night! ”
Nan Ying smiled and said, "Before dawn tomorrow, our army will be able to enter the mountain!" Even if the Yellow Turban Army breaks the embankment and releases water, or finds that our army's golden cicada has come out of its shell, everything is a foregone conclusion at that time! What can they do to me? ”
"Now, Ben is only worried about one thing!" He put one leg on the case without grace and said lightly: "Unless it is raining heavily now, causing the water to soar, our army will be able to successfully get out of trouble!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a dazzling white light flashed outside the tent, and soon a thunderous "rattle" was heard in the sky.
Nan Ying's face changed miserably, he almost didn't fall to the ground, he bounced, rushed out of the tent at once, looked up at the dark clouds rolling and fluttering overhead, and groaned: "What Lu Zhi said is not wrong! Could it be that this mouth of mine is really ominous! ”
Another miserable flash of lightning pierced the sky, and the faces of the generals who poured out of the tent were as white as paper.
Nanying turned around abruptly and said sharply, "Go and give the order!" Abandon all baggage and bring only weapons, medicine, food and water! The whole army immediately retreated to the mountains! ”
