Chapter 385: Sweeping 2/4
Hebei, Yecheng.
Tian Feng had been in the cell for several days, but he didn't suffer too much. The Tian family is a wealthy family in Hebei, and he himself is well-known, so the jailers are quite respectful to him. And the Tian family is not short of money, not only did the people up and down not abuse him, but served him with good wine and food every day.
On this day, Tian Feng was studying in prison, and the jailer walked in and said with some sighs: "Now you are wrong, the lord's soldiers and horses have occupied half of Yanzhou, and now the people outside are ........"
Tian Feng put down the book and said with a smile: "Are you laughing at me?" β
The jailer said: "It's not to laugh, that is, you can't say right every time after all, and finally it's wrong once." β
Tian Feng sighed lightly and said, "Lord........ If I were right, he would be angry in his heart and would definitely take my life. On the contrary, it is because of the wrong thing that I can be forgiven! β
The jailer laughed, "If that's the case, then congratulations." β
A few days later, Yuan Shao really sent a messenger to humiliate him in front of Tian Feng, and then proudly announced, "Forgive your innocence, go home and reflect!" β
Tian Feng smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for your kindness." β
Since he has been deprived of his official position, he is no longer Yuan Shao's subordinate, and he can no longer call Yuan Shao "lord". When Tian Feng returned home, the family members at home were crying with joy. The son was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he comforted him and said, "Although my father didn't expect it, after all, he saved his life, which can be described as a happy event, please don't mind." β
Tian Feng laughed and said, "Where will I mind?" By the way, you secretly go to find this person and invite him to come to the house. Remember to be careful and not overstated. Well, I'll fix a book, you can just give it to him. β
Although the son was puzzled, he still took the order and left. Later, Tian Feng asked his family to put away the soft and soft at home and pack it, "Don't bring too much, it's enough for us to use for a year or two." β
When the family heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and the wife stepped forward and asked, "Is it that you have been in prison for too long and your head is confused?" Our family property is in Hebei, what are we packing for? Even if you go back to your hometown, you don't need to prepare. β
Tian Feng smiled: "Just do it, you will see it after a long time." β
In the evening, Tian Feng ordered his family to tidy up the wine and food and put them in the lobby. He retreated, waiting alone in the lobby. I don't know when, the shadow on the wall suddenly shook, someone had already appeared behind him, Tian Feng didn't look back, looked at the shadow that came out on the ground, raised his glass and said, "Since you're here, why don't you have a drink together first?" β
Shi A turned out from behind his back with brisk steps, and said lightly: "Mr. Tian has just come out of prison, and he has such a good interest, which is admirable. β
Tian Feng put down his wine glass and laughed heartily: "After walking in prison, I let go of everything." When I was inside, I had nothing to do, I could only read books and speculate, but it also made me understand a lot of things. β
Shi A sat down next to Tian Feng and said calmly, "What does that have to do with me?" β
Tian Feng said with a smile: "I mean to go to Guanzhong tomorrow to avoid trouble, and please send someone to protect me secretly." β
Shi A's complexion changed slightly, and the aura on his body suddenly became fierce, like a sword breaking free from its restraints, revealing the cold blade, "Mr. Tian's words, I don't understand a little!" β
Tian Feng said with a smile: "There are many elite soldiers under the command of the general, and the most elite of them are called tooth soldiers. People all over the world often say: Chang'an Son of Heaven, West Liangya Soldier. Among the Western Liangya soldiers, the most courageous one is called the Western Liang Dragoon, Your Excellency should know better than me. β
Shi A's hand slowly moved to his waist, "Mr. Tian's words are becoming more and more incomprehensible. β
Tian Feng continued: "If you want to become a Xiliang Dragon Rider, the conditions are very harsh, not only do you need to be brave, but you also need to make a lot of achievements, and you also need to master the magic skill of 'blocking the counter'. Although Your Excellency tried his best to cover it up, he shot a lot in front of people, and the move was even eliminated with a fight, and the 'blocking and countering' magic technique was used many times in anticipation of the enemy first, and the 'blocking and countering' magic skill in the back of the move was also used many times, as long as you have the heart, you can still detect it. β
Shi Ah stood up abruptly, drew his sword out of its sheath, and pointed the tip of the sword at Tian Feng's eyebrows. Shi A has been practicing swords for more than ten years, and his swordsmanship has already entered the room, he got up, and the set of movements of drawing the sword was very smooth, and there were no superfluous movements. Tian Feng was just a flower in front of him, and when he blinked again, he was already pointed at with a long sword.
Tian Feng said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't need to panic, Yuan Benchu can't tolerate me, so I naturally have to flee to other places to avoid trouble." Looking at the world, is there a better place than under a great general? Although he doesn't have much ability, he never belittles himself, and he must be of some use to the general. β
"I didn't expect Mr. Tian to be so good at swordsmanship," Shi Ah snorted, put the sword back into the sheath, and said, "Since you want to leave, then as soon as possible." β
Tian Feng said: "I have ordered someone to pack their bags, and you can set off now!" β
Shi A's face finally showed a hint of a smile, he shook his head, and said: "It's getting late now, it's too conspicuous to go out, it's better to go out of the city tomorrow morning, and then sleep in the open and rush all the way to Bingzhou." β
Tian Feng said simply: "Then do as Your Excellency says!" β
The next day, Tian Feng took his family and drove several big cars straight out of the west gate of Yecheng. Since then, he has not been seen again. Suddenly, half a month passed, and there was sudden bad news from the south, Yuan Yuanjun's eldest son Yuan Tan was beheaded by Lu Bu, and after the general Chun Yuqiong was captured, he scolded loudly and died unyieldingly.
After Yuan Shao heard that his eldest son had died tragically, he was furious, and on the one hand ordered Ju Yi to withdraw his troops from the Xuzhou front, and on the other hand, he sent people back to Yecheng and executed Tian Feng. However, when Yuan Shao's envoy took the soldiers and horses to kill Tian Feng's house, he found that the building had already been emptied. There was a thin layer of dust on the various pieces of furniture in the room, apparently no one for a while.
After inquiring, I found that more than ten days ago, that is, after Tian Feng was released, he had disappeared. After searching inside and outside Yecheng for a long time, no one knew where Tian Feng's family had gone. The people inside and outside the city talked about it until bad news came from the south.
Ju Yi refused to withdraw his troops, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not join him, and returned to Changyi with soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao was distraught because of the death of his eldest son Yuan Tan, and later got the news of the disappearance of Tian Feng's family, and he was even more angry, he didn't wait for all the soldiers and horses to gather, so he asked Yan Liang to take 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xu Rong's department, and ordered, "Be sure to take off the heads of Xu Rong and Lu Bu, and leave no captured prisoners!" β
Then, Xu Rong won consecutive battles, and his general Lu Bu beheaded Yan Liang in the battle formation, and then killed Wen Chou in the battle formation. After opening the road to Dongjun, Xu Rong had another 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He led forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses to advance quickly, without giving Yuan Shao's army a chance to breathe, and defeated Yuan Shao's army one by one, and then fought a decisive battle with Juyi, who finally returned, under the city of Changyi.
The two sides fought fiercely, and after paying huge casualties, Xu Rongjun smashed Hebei's halberders and crossbowmen into slag. In front of the tiger squatting cannon, the two trump cards of heavy infantry and crossbowmen in Ju Yi's hands were eaten to death. Ju Yi was very brave, and when the battle situation was unfavorable, he led his troops and horses to launch a desperate charge, and then died on the road of the charge.
After Chen Cheng received the news from Xu Rongjun outside Xiangyi City, he laughed out loud and said, "I knew that Xu Rong was a general, but I didn't expect him to give me so many surprises. Then let's stop talking nonsense with Cao Cao, and order the artillery battalion to let them bomb all the shells into the city for me! β
There were a few more earthen ramparts outside the city, and dozens of large and small cannons opened fire together, turning Xiangyi City into a hell of steel and blood. Unless it's hidden in a house made of thick bricks, the wood doesn't have much defense at all, and if it is hit by a solid bullet, it will explode into splatters of flesh.
The shelling lasted for a whole hour, and after the ammunition carried by the army was exhausted, the ammunition brought by Chen Cheng was also exhausted. The bronze chambers turned red, and cracks appeared in the bodies of several guns. After the shelling, the city was already devastated, and there was no formed army to be seen.
Just as Chen Cheng was about to let the infantry enter the city, inside the city gate that had been removed, soldiers and horses suddenly escaped, and fires broke out in many parts of the city. Xiliang Iron Cavalry stepped forward to chase and kill for a while, while the infantry entered the city to put out the fire. The soldiers and civilians in the city had long been frightened by the continuous shelling, and when they saw the enemy entering the city, they did not resist, but knelt on both sides of the road and gave their lives to the enemy.
Chen Cheng counted the prisoners after the war and did not find Cao Cao. It is said that when Xiahoudun broke through, Cao Mengde had already set himself on fire. Chen Cheng naturally did not believe this statement, and ordered to see people alive and corpses when dead. But after a few days of patrolling, he found nothing, but found the bodies of the Wetz family.
On this side, Chen Cheng defeated Cao Cao's main force, and after leading his troops into Yuzhou, Lu Fang's troops were blocked for a period of time, and then they immediately advanced wildly, and successively took down several cities in one day. Especially when Cao Cao was defeated and then trapped in Xiangyi, rumors spread in Yuzhou. Yan Xiang came forward and persuaded the local heroes and generals to lay down their weapons and open the door to welcome the imperial army.
After pacifying Yuzhou, LΓΌ Fang led troops to the south and stationed in Hefei, Juchao, Shuxian, Liyang and other places, eyeing Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Sun Ce, who was leading the naval warships to fight with the Jingzhou naval army, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news that Cao Cao's army was defeated and Yuzhou had all been surrendered to the imperial court.
Sun Ce originally thought that Cao Cao was good at using troops, and after taking the entire territory of Yuzhou and half of Yanzhou, the soldiers and horses swelled to more than 100,000, and he had the geographical advantage and people, even if he couldn't win a big victory, it would make the imperial army suffer enough, but he never thought that Cao Cao, who was strong for a while, would be wiped out in just two months.
Moreover, Yuan Shao was also defeated by Xu Rong, and Hebei was attacked by Gongsun Zhan, and the world seemed to be turned over in an instant. Sun Ce led the sailor's warship home, he looked in the direction of Jiangxia, and said gloomily: "Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been pacified, presumably Hebei will not be able to support it for long." Gong Jin, we don't have a chance to complete the strategy of 'actually reaching the extreme of the Yangtze River', let alone marching into the Central Plains. β
The horror in Zhou Yu's heart was no less than that of Sun Ce, but he still comforted Sun Ce and said: "The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats." There is a danger in the Yangtze River, and the imperial army can't help us! β
