Chapter 10: The Jizhou Dogfight (5)

On February 27, the sixth year of Chuping, in a bedroom in the official hall of Yecheng, the sun was rising, Dong Chongcai got up on the bed lazily, and patted the four naked girls on the bed, "You can go, go back and tell your old bustard, tell her to stay and send four more beautiful girls to the second master, if you dare to take the ugly woman to the second master, don't think about opening her drunken red mansion." The four girls whispered yes, and Dong Chong touched them a few more times, threw a handful of gold coins on them, and walked away.

After breakfast and lunch, the girl from the drunken Red Mansion has not yet been delivered, Dong Chong sent someone to urge at the same time, he found that he had to find something to do in order to pass this boring time, just as Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and Mo Zhu also got up from the woman, a few people discussed, Ai Jin suggested that Dong Chong try to recruit Tian Feng, if Dong Chong can say that Tian Feng surrendered, it would be a great achievement, Dong Chong thought about it, he had to help his eldest brother, and immediately sent someone to the prison to lift Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun, Dong Zhuojun not only did not abuse him, but instead provided him with good food and drink, and there was no shortage of food and clothing, so Tian Feng proposed to wear Yuan Shao's officer uniform, Dong Zhuojun did not refuse, and even allowed Tian Feng to enter and leave the prison at will and return home to visit his relatives - of course, under the premise of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers.

Dong Chong met Tian Feng for the first time, and when he saw that Tian Feng was seven feet tall and his aura was high, he secretly praised in his heart - much more handsome than my eldest brother! After personally helping Tian Feng to his seat, Dong Chong led Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and Mo to salute Tian Feng, Dong Chong flattered: "Mr. Yuan Hao, in Xia Dong Chong, is the brother of His Royal Highness King Kang, and on the order of his brother, I have come to see Mr. Ai, Ma, and Mo also said a compliment, trying to make a good impression on Tian Feng.

In the face of the respect and flattery of Dong Chong and others, Tian Feng was unmoved, but just said with a straight face: "I have heard the name of Second Master Dong for a long time, there is no need to be polite, Second Master Dong probably knows when he comes to Tian Feng, but Tian Feng does not surrender." ”

Dong Chong is a person who doesn't have much temper - this is also the reason why he can get along with a group of gentlemen, Tian Feng doesn't have a good face on him, he doesn't get angry, he just laughs and says: "Mr. Yuan Hao, your loyalty to Yuan Shao is obvious, but it's a pity that Yuan Shao refuses to use Mr.'s clever plan, otherwise my eldest brother will have a chance to intervene in Jizhou?" I think my eldest brother's benevolence and government also know that Mr. also knows, not to mention far away, let's just say that after my eldest brother's army took over Yecheng, the poor people of Yecheng did not starve to death or slaughter a prisoner, Yuan Shao when he managed Yecheng, can he do this? Speaking of this, Dong Chong fakely wiped away a handful of non-existent tears, and choked up: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you are from Jizhou, my eldest brother is so good to the people of Jizhou, can't you still move Mr." ”

"Not bad." Tian Feng nodded and said: "After the Dong thief captured Yecheng, he did not loot and harass the people, but also made an example to calm the people, strictly enforce military discipline, open food sheds, distribute food to the poor people, and did not let the people starve to death. Because Dong Zhuojun allowed Tian Feng to enter and leave the prison at will, Tian Feng knew everything Dong Zhuojun did in Yecheng.

Hearing Tian Feng praise his eldest brother, Dong Chong's face suddenly burst into laughter, he was even happier than Tian Feng praising himself, but Tian Feng pointed at Dong Chong and scolded: "But you, after your bullshit second master army arrived in Yecheng, it has sold thousands of people, opened dozens of casinos, and the brothels in Yecheng have almost been covered by your second master army, these are not serious, your army has also committed nine cases of rape of people's daughters, are you buying the hearts of the people for your eldest brother?" You're cheating your big brother! ”

Dong Chong's face was blue and white for a while, and the faces of Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and Mo Zhu were not any better, Dong Chong was embarrassed for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Arrest those nine bastards who raped people's girls, escort them to the court, and then invite those victims and people to the court, Dong Erye, I want to show the military power today!" Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang rushed down to catch the nine unlucky bastards, and Dong Chong turned to Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, please go to the Dharma field with the last general, and see that the last general will give an explanation to the fathers and villagers of Yecheng." Tian Feng sneered and nodded in agreement.

More than half an hour later, Dong Erjun's nine unlucky eggs were exposed by their companions and escorted to the court, and the nine victimized girls and their families were invited to the law field again, and the people of Yecheng heard that Dong Zhuojun was going to kill the scum in the army, and they also rushed to the law field to watch, Dong Chong and others arrived at the law field, the law field of Nuoda was already crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people came, crowded people, shoulder to shoulder, and a large area of black pressure.

For the great cause of the eldest brother, Dong Chong, who was wearing Dong Zhuo's officer uniform, humbly supported Tian Feng, who was wearing Yuan Shao's officer uniform, to ascend to the high platform of the court, which caused the people of Yecheng to exclaim, Tian Feng is an upright official, and he is not afraid of the powerful in law enforcement, and he has the best official reputation among the people of Jizhou, and is deeply loved by the people.

After helping Tian Feng to sit down, Dong Chong strode to the front of the stage and shouted: "Yecheng's fathers and fellow villagers, I ...... it." Dong Chong wanted to say a few words to buy people's hearts for his eldest brother, but the ink in his stomach was really limited, and he really couldn't find any suitable words, Dong Chong thought about it, pointed to the nine unlucky people tied to the law field and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today my Second Master Dong wants to cut off their dog heads, they follow my Second Master Dong from birth to death, capture the Jinfan thief, break the Hun Hu dog, and also eliminate the tiger planing horse of Cao Cao's dog thief, it is a great achievement, but why cut off their heads?" Because these nine things are really not good things, I have a lot of money in my pocket, I don't go to brothels to prostitute myself, add ...... to Yecheng, increase the national production ...... that my eldest brother said, what is the value of national production, but run to rape the people's daughters. ”

Before Dong Chong finished speaking, the people of Yecheng who were watching were already laughing, and Tian Feng couldn't help laughing, but Dong Chong thought that the people of Yecheng were appreciating his righteous annihilation, and continued to shout: "It's not okay to rape people's girls, don't say anything else, it's cool for you to be cool once, but it will hurt the girl's life, in the future, the girl will have no face for the rest of her life, she will never marry again, and she will have to be widowed for a lifetime, so today my second master Dong wants to kill his relatives with righteousness and cut off the heads of these nine bastards." ”

Although Dong Chong's words were vulgar, they were not unreasonable, the people of Yecheng gradually stopped laughing, and a few people shouted, "Second Master Dong strictly enforces the law, long live Second Master Dong!" Dong Chong was startled, and hurriedly pointed at the people who were shouting and scolded, "Are you fucking cheating on my Second Master Dong?" Banzai? It can only be used to shout long live King Kang, my Dong Er dare not compete for a position with my eldest brother in my life, I am not allowed to shout Long live Dong Erye, if you want to shout, you can shout Dong Erye is 100 years old, do you hear? ”

The people of Yecheng burst into laughter again, and many people with good deeds began to shout, "Long live King Kang, Dong Erye is 100 years old, Dong Erye is 100 years old." Tian Feng twisted his beard and secretly laughed, and said in his heart that although Dong Chong had a bad reputation, he was loyal to his eldest brother and was a loyal person. At this time, the nine unlucky people in the audience began to beg for mercy, "Second Master spare my life, we don't dare anymore." "Second master, you can't kill me, next time you gamble, I will have to pay for you." "Second master, spare your life......."

"Shut up!" Dong Chong yelled, suppressed the begs for mercy of the nine unlucky people, and shouted, "Bring those victims up." Tian Feng frowned slightly, the rape case is no better than other cases, so what makes the victim public? But Dong Erjun didn't care so much, and dragged the nine victim girls who were crying and red-faced to the stage, the youngest of whom was only 12 years old, the oldest was a widow in her thirties, and she was accompanied by four children with blue noses and tattered clothes.

"The fathers and villagers of Yecheng, they are the victims." Dong Chong pointed to the nine folk girls and said, Dong Chong changed his tone again, "Folks in Yecheng, I, Dong Er, want to discuss something with you. The people of Yecheng pricked up their ears to see what Dong Chong was talking about, only to see Dong Chong continue: "I Dong Er said just now, after they were raped, they will not be able to remarry in this life, these nine bastards are also military merits, and they are first offenders, so I Dong Er has an idea, the villagers think it is good, agree, just use my Dong Er's idea, if it is not good, do not agree, I immediately cut off the heads of these nine bastards." ”

"Second Master Dong, what's your idea?" Many people asked.

"Yes." Dong Chong said: "Let these nine bastards marry the folk girls who were raped by them, marry them home and go home to be the main room, and raise them for a lifetime, don't look at these nine bastards are just small soldiers under my Dong Shuang, they have more money in their hands, and it is absolutely no problem to raise ten people and eight people, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, and they have to beat them with a hundred more military sticks." ”

After Dong Chong finished speaking, there was a big uproar in the audience, Tian Feng even scolded the absurdity, and the nine unlucky people in the court agreed again and again, resolutely accepting Dong Chong's arrangement, Tian Feng couldn't help it, stood up and was about to speak, but the widow among the victimized girls pulled her four children into the court, grabbed an unlucky person from Dong Erjun, and shouted to Dong Chong: "Second Master Dong, the people are willing to accept your arrangement." Then he turned to the four children and said, "Call him father." The four children with green noses immediately hugged the unlucky man and called his father, and the unlucky man also smiled, and said continuously: "Good son, good daughter, father has money in his arms, you quickly take some money to buy clothes, see you are freezing." ”

Tian Feng was dumbfounded, at this time, the youngest little girl also pulled up another unlucky egg under the persuasion of her parents, and then several other victims also walked into the court with a blushing face, each pulling up an unlucky egg, only two unlucky people with thieves' eyebrows and rat eyes no one to help, so anxious that the two unlucky eggs shouted loudly, and shouted out any promises.

"Since the victims are willing, I don't think the villagers will disagree." Dong Chong waved his hand, "Let them go, drag them down and beat a hundred military sticks." The other two beheaded and compensated the two girls with three hundred gold coins each. Three hundred gold coins is enough for an ordinary family to live for ten years, but Dong Erjun, who has a lot of money, naturally doesn't take this little money in his eyes, and immediately a soldier sent the money to the hands of the two victim girls, but when the two unlucky guys were escorted to the execution platform, a victim girl returned the money to Dong Erjun, and ran up to the stage with a blushing face to help up an unlucky guy.

When the last unlucky man's head hit the ground, a cheer and laughter broke out among the people of Yecheng, naturally the cry of "Second Master Dong is 100 years old" was indispensable, and Dong Chong turned his head with a smile and nodded to Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, are you satisfied now?" Can you reconsider submitting to my eldest brother? ”

Tian Feng's face twitched, he wanted to laugh but couldn't help himself, and was about to scold Dong Chong for being ridiculous, when a scout of Dong Erjun's army rushed to the law field and shouted from afar, "Second master, it's not good, Cao Cao, Cao Cao's army is here!" There was a panic among the people of Yecheng in the law field, men made women cry, and even the people of Yecheng knew that Yecheng was now an empty city, and the main force of Dong Zhuojun's army had left Yecheng, and there were only Dong Chong's 3,000 second master troops and more than 1,000 heavy soldiers in the city.

The scout of Dong Erjun rushed to Dong Chong and knelt down on one knee, and reported loudly: "Second Master, sixty miles to the southeast, a large number of Cao Cao's army was found, numbering more than 40,000, of which the number of cavalry was close to 10,000, and they were coming to Yecheng. After the scout finished speaking, he didn't see Dong Chong speak for a long time, neither asked him to continue to investigate, nor told him to go down to rest, he felt strange in his heart, and secretly looked up, but saw Dong Chong's mouth wide open, and he was completely stunned.

After standing for a long time, Dong Chong suddenly shouted, turned his head and ran, Tian Feng immediately made a decision, immediately grabbed Dong Chong, and said sharply: "Where do you want to go?" Cao Thief has nearly 10,000 cavalry, and your little man in the field is not enough for him to stuff his teeth! Dong Chong cried and said with a sad face: "But if I don't run, I can't stop 40,000 enemies." ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it!" Tian Feng grabbed Dong Chong's collar with both hands and shouted loudly: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yecheng, you are responsible for guarding the city, once you flee lightly, what will happen to these people?" Let the army of the Cao thieves poison? Listen, if you still want to do something for your eldest brother Dong Zhuo, just do as I say, we will definitely be able to defend Yecheng! ”

Hearing the name of the eldest brother, Dong Chong didn't know where to come out of a wave of courage, the fear disappeared a lot, and he nodded: "Okay, I won't run, please ask Mr. Yuan Hao to arrange it." Tian Feng nodded and shouted to Dong Chong: "Send someone to deliver a letter to Jia Xu immediately and ask him to return to the city to rescue." Dong Chong agreed, and immediately sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to Jia Xu.

Tian Feng rushed to the front of the stage, grabbed the iron horn that Dong Chong had just used, and shouted to the people of Yecheng in the audience: "I am Jizhou Don't drive Tian Feng, Yecheng folks, don't mess up, listen to me." The audience was in chaos, Tian Feng's shouts were drowned out in the panic of the people, and few people heard it, but fortunately, Dong Chong suddenly came a little smart, ordered Dong Erjun to pick up weapons to intercept the people, and played drums on the high platform, so that the people were temporarily quiet.

Tian Feng shouted at the panicked people: "Folks, I'm not driving Tian Feng, now that Cao Thief's army is approaching Yecheng, you can't panic, let alone run away, King Kang's army is disciplined, it doesn't hurt you, and it also gives you food, so that you can eat enough, but Cao Thief's army itself is short of food and clothing, will it still give you food?" I'm afraid that the food in your hands will also be snatched away by Cao Cao, do you want the food to be snatched away by Cao Thief's army, do you want your wife and daughter to be robbed by Cao Thief's army**? ”

"I don't want to!" A few bold people shouted, and then more people shouted.

"Do you want to protect your homeland? Do you want to live? Tian Feng asked again.

"Yes!" The people of Yecheng shouted so.

"Good!" Tian Feng nodded, pointed at Dong Chong and shouted: "You don't have to be afraid, when this Second General Dong was in Yanzhou, he once broke Cao Cao's 5,000 tigers and leopards with 500 men and horses, and he had no casualties and more than 3,000 beheaded, he was the nemesis of Cao Thief, with him in Yecheng, what are you afraid of?" ”

Dong Chongxin said that you Tian Feng can even talk nonsense than my eldest brother, it is true that my men did not suffer casualties at that time, but Cao Cao and I were one-to-one troops, and it was only with croton, Menghan medicine and Hedinghong that we defeated them. Seeing the adoring eyes of the people of Yecheng, Dong Chong still couldn't help but be proud, and hugged his fists at the people of Yecheng in reply.

At this time, Tian Feng shouted: "Since you don't want to be robbed and killed, you want to keep your homeland, and you want to live, just listen to the command of this Second General Dong and arrange the city defense, and we will definitely be able to defeat the army of Cao Thief." ”

The people of Yecheng applauded, Tian Feng immediately commanded Dong Erjun to organize the young and strong men of Yecheng to form an army, and let the old and weak women and children carry large stones and trees and other materials to defend the city, fortunately, Yecheng is Dong Zhuojun's logistics supply base, and weapons and ordnance are piled up, so that Dong Erjun does not have to worry about insufficient weapons. While busy, the bad military doctor Mo stopped hurriedly finding Tian Feng, hugged his fist at Tian Feng and said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, the villain has invented a weapon, which may be useful in defending the city, I wonder if Mr. Yuan Hao can use it?" ”

Tian Feng hurriedly asked what kind of weapon it was, after listening to Mo stop talking about the purpose and use of the new weapon, Tian Feng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, Tian Feng was already overjoyed, and said with great joy: "Very good, move all your new weapons to the city, this time it is enough for Cao Thief to drink a pot." ”

Huge stones and sassal wood were transported to the city wall by the people of Yecheng with concerted efforts, strong bows and crossbows were moved out of the warehouse, and Mo Stop's new weapons were also nervously arranged, fortunately, Yecheng was the base camp of Yuan Shaojun, the city defense was strong, and there were also urn cities, inner cities and outer cities, which gave Tian Feng a lot of room to play, and arranged the defense in layers, ready to hold on to help.

In the blink of an eye, it was already close to evening, during which the scouts of Dong Erjun's army flew more than ten times, Cao Cao's army was getting closer and closer, when the vanguard of Cao Cao's army was less than fifteen miles away from Yecheng, and Yecheng was not yet fully arranged, Dong Chong was so anxious that his feet jumped, although Tian Feng was anxious, but he forced himself to calm down, looking for a good law, suddenly, a plan came to Tian Feng's heart......

……

"Capture Dong Chong alive! Set foot in Yecheng! The main force of Cao Cao's army shouted slogans and marched quickly, Cao Cao took the lead, Xu Zhen and Xiahou Dun were on the left and right, and the 40,000 army was mighty and strode towards Yecheng.

When he set off from Puyang, Cao Cao had already learned that the defender of Yecheng would be Dong Chong, who had killed his 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and Cao Cao was overjoyed and issued two orders, first, capture Dong Chong alive, seal the marquis, and reward a thousand gold! Catch Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang and reward 500 gold! Even the unscrupulous military doctor Mo stopped, and Cao Cao also offered a reward of 300 gold. Second, when approaching within a hundred miles of Yecheng, it is not allowed to drink a mouthful of local water sources, let alone eat a mouthful of local food without permission - Cao Cao was also frightened by Dong Erjun's supernatural poisoning methods!

Marching all the way, Cao Cao's army was rapidly approaching Yecheng, and the scouts also came with accurate news from Jia Xu's troops, Dong Zhuo's main force had prepared an ambush at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and the feint army used to cover the main force of Cao Cao's army entered the ambush circle, and the trial troops were also rushing to Phoenix Mountain, distracting Dong Zhuo's attention for Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao was overjoyed to reward Guo Jia, but Guo Jia refused, saying that he just wanted to avenge Jia Xu's arrow, and did not want any reward, Cao Cao laughed and obeyed.

"Quick, it's only a dozen miles away from Yecheng, try to take Yecheng before sunset." Cao Cao encouraged the soldiers in the Chinese army and said: "Defeat Yecheng and dismiss the military discipline for one day!" The soldiers of Cao Cao's army, who were carried away by the burning, killing and looting, applauded loudly, and their steps became faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese army of Cao Cao's army was less than ten miles away from Yecheng, and it stands to reason that the vanguard army should have started to fight with Dong Zhuo's army, but Cao Cao saw that the city of Yecheng was quiet, and the vanguard of Cao Cao's army led by Cao Ren and Li Dian was still under the city, and he didn't know what he was doing. Cao Cao was in a strange situation, a herald rushed in front of him, and rushed to Cao Cao to report: "King Qiqi, the four gates of Yecheng are wide open, and there is not a single soldier of the Dong thief's army in Yecheng City, Dong Chong, the brother of Dong Thief, is still drinking and having fun in the city, General Cao Ren is worried that there will be an ambush, and he does not dare to attack, please make a decision." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Cao Cao was taken aback, and Guo Jia also came forward to express his disbelief, almost suspecting that Cao Ren had already laid down the empty Yecheng and deliberately came to joke with Cao Cao, but seeing the serious expression of the herald, Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and rushed to the city of Yecheng together to cover the army.

Cao Ren didn't joke with Cao Cao, when Cao Cao's army rushed to the city of Yecheng, it was already dusk, Cao Cao looked fixedly, only to see the four gates of Yecheng and the gate of the inner city open, there were twenty people in front of the gate to sweep the city, and the city was full of dust, as well as Cao Cao's most hated Dong Chong, Dong Erjun deputy general Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and bad military doctor Mo Zhu, four people, were drinking and having fun on the south gate of Yecheng.

Faced with such a scene, Cao Cao and Guo Jia stammered, almost unable to believe their eyes, at this time, Dong Chong didn't know what to say in the city, four girls dressed in thin veils walked up to the city tower, and Dong Chong and others were deeply blessed, and began to dance and compose, and Ai Jin personally played the piano accompaniment, Dong Chong and Ma Zhuang, Mo stopped beating their hands, and sang the famous song that has been famous for thousands of years - Eighteen Touches!

On the top of the head - the fragrance of osmanthus on the head,

Head hairy edge - head hair black round.

Puffed head side - puffed head to welcome the gods,

Bristle - Bun bristle circle......

If it weren't for the pass of the two armies, maybe there would be soldiers in Cao Cao's army to sing a few words, but at this pass, Cao Cao's army not only couldn't ease down, but also people's legs began to weaken, and almost all the Cao Cao soldiers had a thought in their hearts, there must be an ambush in the city!

The sun sets, the climate turns cooler, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia have cold sweat on their foreheads, this scene is too strange, not only like the signs before Jia Xu's poison plan is launched, but also like the preparation of Dong Erjun when he poisoned the sweat medicine. Cao Cao whispered to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, there must be an ambush in the city, should we withdraw our troops and attack after we have found out?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and stared at the city for a long time, and after another moment, Guo Jia said in a low voice: "Let a hundred people enter the city to test first, even if you are ambushed, you will not lose much." Cao Cao nodded, and immediately ordered a team of 100 people to test first.

In the twilight, singing and dancing above Yecheng, 40,000 Cao Cao's troops cowered outside the range of bows and arrows on the city and did not dare to move forward, only a hundred unlucky Cao Cao soldiers walked forward slowly with shields in their hands, trembling and trembling, almost making people wonder whether they were walking or climbing, and Dong Chong and others were still drinking in the city, as if they did not see Cao Cao's army approaching.

When the hundred Cao Cao soldiers were only a hundred steps away from the gate of Yecheng, Dong Chong stood up, and the hundred Cao Cao soldiers were taken aback and fled involuntarily, while Dong Chong strode to the city tower and shouted at Cao Cao: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I will give you a gift on behalf of my eldest brother, please check it." ”

After speaking, Dong Chong waved his hand, and two fires quickly burst out of the city, burning close to the ground, and disappeared more than ten steps before the city gate, Cao Cao was first shocked, and then froze, but Guo Jia reacted first, "There is a hollow bamboo pipe buried underground, and there is a fuse in the bamboo pipe, be careful of fire attack!" ”

Hearing Guo Jia call this, Cao Cao's army was in chaos, at this time, dozens of thick smoke suddenly appeared from the ground in Cao Cao's array, the smoke was blue-yellow, extremely weird, the smoked Cao Cao soldiers coughed constantly, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "Spread out and avoid the smoke!" Hearing this order, Cao Cao's neat formation was completely chaotic, and the soldiers were scurrying like headless flies.

The night wind quickly blew away the smoke, leaving behind the corpses of hundreds of Cao Cao's soldiers, the blood flowing from their mouths and noses had stained the earth red, and the death was terrifying, and hundreds of soldiers were coughing until they coughed up blood. Without waiting for Cao Cao's army to wake up from the shock, the war drums in Yecheng were beating, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Cao Cao was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he shouted urgently, "It's a plan, withdraw quickly!" Cao Cao's soldiers threw away their armor and abandoned their armor, threw their halberds, fled for their lives in a hurry, trampled on each other in a dark and hurry, and countless people died.

Cao Cao escaped for more than thirty miles in one go, until Xu Yang and Xiahou Dun caught up and grabbed his horse's head. ”
