Chapter 132: Never Affectionate and Hate Parting
Wei Yue was very unhappy now, looking at the clouds floating in the sky in the distance, his heart was like that cloud, fluttering and not knowing where to go. Standing in the breeze for a long time, after all, his heart was unsettled, he spat hatefully, and muttered: "What kind of labor task is this, others are fighting life and death on the front line, beheading and capturing the flag, just I am here to guard this broken city, and the idle ones are about to fade out." β
Bai Fu, the deputy general on his side, heard the words and persuaded: "The general shoulders the heavy responsibility and guards the lifeblood of our army's food and grass, which is the supreme trust of the prince and the marquis to the general, but the beauty that others can't ask for, the general must not be careless." β
Wei Yue said angrily: "The army of the prince is in front, how can you let the enemy army come to the rear of our army, obviously this is a very safe place, how can you come to half of the enemy army?" Others have attacked the city and fallen to the ground, followed the prince and made many military exploits, and we can only watch others perform here, don't you blush? β
Bai Fu smiled and said: "The last general is not red-eyed, the last general can follow the general here to protect our army's grain and grass, and when the battle is won, it will be indispensable to take a credit, why blush others." β
Wei Yue was so angry with him that he looked at Bai Fu with disgust and said: "The prince often says that a general who doesn't want to go to the battlefield is not a good general, I think it's you." β
Bai Fu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I also want to follow the general into battle to kill the enemy, but the general has received the heavy responsibility of defense, and the last general can only reluctantly make it difficult and advance and retreat with the general." β
Wei Yue heard that he complained a lot, and said angrily: "Are you blaming me for my bad luck and causing you to suffer here with me?" β
Bai Fu is a fierce spirit, although Wei Yue is usually very arrogant, mingles with all the soldiers, and is like a brother, but after all, he is the commander of an army, holding the power of life and death, and at this time the anger is surging, but it also makes him uneasy, and he said in fear: "The last general will not dare." β
Wei Yue was not angry for a while, and at this time, he finally felt that he was complaining here, but it was just a waste of effort, and the task he received had to be completed with tears, so he had to sigh and said: "That's it, the matter has come to this, we still have to take care of the important land in Zhongmu, don't be taken advantage of by the young people." β
At this time, a fast horse rushed from the sky, the wind and fire, in a blink of an eye, the soldiers immediately jumped off the war horse, a stumbling almost fell to the ground, and reported urgently: "Report to the general, Guandu found that Cao Cao's cavalry more than 20,000 people, commanded by the general Xiahoudun himself, has been in battle with General Wang Ling, who was ambushed in advance, just because the Cao army is strong, and our army is limited, but was broken through by the Cao army, our officer crossed the port in danger, Yang Junshi asked me to come to the rescue, let the general quickly reinforce, and work together to break the main force of Xiahoudun, If it is late, the official crossing is in danger. β
Wei Yue's face changed several times when he heard this, and he asked: "Yang Junshi personally set up an ambush, how can he let the enemy break through easily, you tell me carefully." β
The soldier said: "Yang Junshi asked me to wait outside Guandu to install countless eyeliner to explore the traces of Cao Jun, Cao Jun quietly came, was detected by our army scouts, Yang Junshi set up ambushes on both sides of the Guandu trail, the enemy army was unguarded, surrounded by our legion, and it was about to be annihilated, and the abandoned Cao army actually had a large number of reinforcements following behind him, our army was unprepared by the Cao army, so he had to flee in the wilderness, and the army retreated to Guandu to rely on the camp to defend it, but Xiahoudun was strong, and our army was really difficult to support, The military advisor ordered the villain and a group of scouts to break out of the siege and ask the general for help. The military situation is urgent, and I hope that the general will send reinforcements quickly. β
Wei Yue scolded: "This Xiahoudun is really treacherous, he actually used false soldiers to explore the way in front, test the ambush soldiers, follow behind him, and suddenly kill when the two armies are fighting, it is the effect of surprise." β
Bai Fu said: "But our army still has a heavy task, how can we send troops to assist Guandu?" If other enemies know that our army's food and grass are here, wouldn't it be a big deal? β
Wei Yue pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, the Cao army is fighting a decisive battle with the prince, and the army that can be sent is only this one, we don't want to divide the troops to rescue Guandu, and kill behind the Cao army, which can not only kill the Cao army deep into the main force, and solve the crisis of Guandu, but also make the Cao army's plan fall through, annihilate the Cao army that rushed in, so that Zhongmu is no longer in danger, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it wonderful?" β
Bai Fu was in a hurry, and persuaded again and again: "The general should not be taken lightly, Guandu can still be taken back if he loses it, if Zhongmu is lost, the grain and grass of my army will be destroyed, and the back road will be cut off, what should the 100,000 troops on the front line of the prince and marquis do?" β
Wei Yue silenced him, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say much, since the whereabouts of the main force of the Cao army are already known, what else do we have to worry about, as long as this Cao army is annihilated, our army's grain road will naturally be as stable as a rock, but let it capture Guandu, he will find that Guandu is just a pretense, and will continue to explore the location of our army's military rations, Zhongmu is in a very critical place, it is not difficult to guess, when the Cao army comes, we are still indispensable to fight, and the outcome is more difficult to predict, it is better to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the disaster at the source, which is the perfect strategy." β
Bai Fu saw that Wei Yue had made up his mind, so he didn't want to say more, but said: "Since the general has made up his mind, I am willing to stay here and wait for the general to return triumphantly." β
Wei Yue made up his mind to divide 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Zhongmu, and led more than 15,000 cavalry to Guandu.
Along the way, Wei Yue urged the army to march quickly, and his heart was full of joy, but he didn't expect that Cao Jun would really come to sneak attack the rear grain road, and he was impressed by the expectations of the prince and the military advisor Tian Feng.
At this time, Cao Jun Xiahoudun only came with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he went to cover behind Cao Jun, and then attacked Yang Xiu and Wang Ling of Guandu before and after, how could Cao Jun resist, if this Cao army was annihilated, wouldn't it be a great merit? The time I had been waiting for before was finally not in vain, and when I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The army came to the outskirts of Guandu, and rushed forward all the way, but there was no half of Cao Jun's figure, Wei Yue was shocked in his heart, could it be that Guandu was shocked and fell? If it is true that Guandu has fallen, I am afraid that it will be another hard battle.
There was no turning back from the bow, and Wei Yue hurriedly ordered the army to rush to the port of Guandu.
As soon as they arrived at Guandu Port, they saw that Guandu was safe and sound, and there was no situation after the war, Yang Xiu and Wang Ling came out together and greeted Wei Yue.
Yang Xiu asked suspiciously, "General Wei is not in Zhongmu to garrison, why did he come here?" β
Wei Yue's heart suddenly cooled down, and said: "I received an order from your guards of the military division, saying that Xiahoudun led the troops to attack Guandu, and ordered me to come to support, I didn't dare to hesitate, and the special marshal army came to the aid of the military division." β
Yang Xiu's face changed drastically and said: "It's bad, this is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." β
Wei Yue's face was defeated: "Didn't Cao Jun come to attack Guandu?" β
Yang Xiu said miserably: "Everything is safe in Guandu, there is no half of Cao's soldiers, even if Cao's army comes to attack, I am fully prepared, how can I order the general to leave Zhongmu important land?" β
Wei Yuehu's body trembled, and he said miserably: "I missed the great event of the prince and the marquis, and I am willing to apologize with death." β
Yang Xiudao: "The general is not busy apologizing, now that Zhongmu has definitely been attacked by the Cao army, the general will quickly go to the rescue, maybe it will not be too late to make amends." β
Wei Yue was glad that he was fortunate to have left a few thousand defenders in Baifu, I am afraid that the Cao army will not be able to capture it for a while, if he returns to the army immediately, he may not be able to rescue Zhongmu, so he said: "Thank you for the guidance of the military division, Wei Yue will go to fight to the death with the Cao army, and he will not hesitate to die to rescue Zhongmu from falling into the Cao army." β
Yang Xiu nodded, watched Wei Yue lead the troops to ride away, and said to Wang Ling, the general of Guandu: "The general immediately mobilizes all the troops and horses, and quickly goes with me to help Zhongmu, General Wei has limited troops and may not be able to defeat Cao's army." β
Wang Ling was stunned and said, "But what about Guandu?" Isn't the mission of our army to set up an ambush here to lure Cao's army to attack? β
Yang Xiu shook his head and said: "The Cao army will not come, since they used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to deceive General Wei Yue here, I think they have already discovered the place where our army's soldiers and grain are hoarded, and our army has no role here, so we can only go to Zhongmu to help General Wei Yue, I only hope that Zhongmu can hold on, otherwise it will be a great disaster." β
Wei Yue led the army to gallop to Zhongmu, trembling along the way, praying for the blessing of the heavens, and tens of thousands of Zhongmu should not have anything to do.
As soon as he arrived in Zhongmu, Wei Yue's heart suddenly became cold.
I saw that in the distance in the Zhongmu City Pool, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the thick smoke was billowing into the sky, connecting with the clouds floating in the sky, even if Wei Yue was several miles away, he could smell the pungent smell of burning grain.
In a panic, the army came to the front of Zhongmu City, only to see the gate of the city wide open, the corpses of countless soldiers under the city head of the city were displayed, and the military flag of Lu Bu at the head of the city was cut down on the ground, which had been burned by the war. There are countless heads hanging at the head of the city, most of them are the deputy generals who stayed here, and the head of Bai Fu is in the center, still dripping with blood.
The city was filled with thick smoke, and the raging fire engulfed the entire city, not to mention entering the firefighting, even if it approached, it was not possible, and the fierce heat sprayed in all directions, devouring everything in the city.
Wei Yuehu's eyes widened, almost dripping blood, his heart was full of chagrin, his eyes were dark, his body shook, and he fell off the war horse.
A group of soldiers hurriedly rescued him, Wei Yue said in despair: "It's all because I believe in the rumors, the food of the army was burned, countless soldiers died because of me, and the prince and the marquis fell into a situation of running out of ammunition and food on the front line, what face do I have to face the prince and marquis, it is better to die." β
As he spoke, he drew the sword from the lieutenant's waist and wiped it off his neck.
A group of soldiers hurriedly stopped him, saying: "The general must not blame himself, the Cao army is sinister and cunning, and the general is also blinded. Since Cao Jun has burned the grain and grass, but seeing that the situation has not gone far, why didn't the general pursue Cao Jun to protect the back of the monarch and marquis, it can be regarded as a meritorious service. β
At this time, there was the sound of the marching horses of the army, but it was Yang Xiu and Wang Ling who led the reinforcements to arrive, Yang Xiu heard the words of the generals from afar, and said: "It should be so, the general committed suicide at this time is just to evade responsibility, and it is also in line with Cao Jun's intentions, now Cao Jun has burned grain and grass, and the next step will definitely go to the front line to attack the rear of the prince, and then the prince and the marquis will face the enemy before and after, I am afraid it will be a big disaster, this is the time for the general to use force, and you must not blame yourself too much." β
Wei Yue's heart was blazing, a hot current burst out of the corner of his eyes, and he said: "Wei Yue's death is not a pity, I am willing to atone for my sins with death, what to do, please teach me the military teacher." β
Yang Xiu said: "The Cao army burned our army's grain and grass, making it difficult to supply our army's front-line supplies, the Cao army will definitely not be in a hurry, there is Cao Cao's army in front of the confrontation, and there is this Cao army in the rear, if the general wants to atone for his sins, please go to Dingtao immediately, where the prince is waiting for the general's assistance." β
Lu Bu and Zhao Yun joined forces, and their troops were strong for a while, so they should have been complacent and went all out to capture Dingtao. But after learning that Xiahoudun was nowhere to be found and Sima Yi escaped, Lu Bufang felt that he was already in danger.
Xiahoudun must have secretly quietly penetrated behind his army, whether he was going to capture the city behind him or besieging and killing behind the army, it was a crisis that was difficult to take care of. What's more, if Xiahoudun went to attack the army's grain route, once he succeeded, his 100,000 army would fall into a situation where there was no supply of food and grass.
At this time, Lu Bu realized that he had made a big mistake, he insisted on leading Cao Cao's army to attack Guandu, and set up an ambush in Guandu, wanting to annihilate it in one fell swoop. But how cautious Sima Yi is, how can he easily fall into the scheme, with this person's disposition of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, at this time he escaped, I am afraid that he has already figured out the key, and then things will develop, I am afraid that it is no longer possible for him to grasp it.
However, the current situation has been redeployed by Lu Bu, and he can only hope that Wei Yue, who is guarded by Zhongmu, can rely on the swift wolf cavalry battalion in his hand to detect Xiahoudun's movements in time and try to ensure that Zhongmu is not lost.
Today's plan can only be to take one step at a time, first break through the Dingtao City in front of you, and annihilate the Cao army is the most important.
So, LΓΌ Bu ordered Gao Shun to rush to attack the north gate of Dingtao, and LΓΌ Bu personally led the army to storm the south gate of Dingtao, and Zhao Yun and Yan Liang besieged the west gate of Dingtao, leaving only the east gate not to besiege or attack.
The three-way army attacked the city together, the Dingtao city defense was suddenly overstretched, it seemed crumbling, after several rounds of fierce siege, the Dingtao defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the defender Xiahou Yuan had to lead the troops to break out from the east gate.
This is exactly the result that Lu Bu wants, several forced sieges of the city, Lu Bu's army is also a lot of casualties, Xiahou Yuan relies on the city to hold on to Dingtao, if he is surrounded in the city, he will try his best to defend, at this time give him a net to open a side, he will not have the heart to defend to the death, the army can easily capture Dingtao, otherwise the battle will not last for a long time, there will be disaster.
On the occasion of Xiahou Yuan leading the army to break through, Zhao Yun took the lead in attacking the east gate of Dingtao, which was weakly guarded and the first to withdraw, Zhao Yun did not wait for Lu Bu's order, and led the army to chase and kill the defeated and fleeing Xiahou Yuan army.
When Xiahou Yuan was defeated and fled, he could only make Xiahou Ba the back of the palace to block Zhao Yun's pursuers, but Xiahou Ba was not Zhao Yun's opponent, but Sanhe was picked off the horse by Zhao Yun and captured alive.
However, after the delay of this battle, Xiahou Yuan also led the army to escape Zhao Yun's pursuit and led the remnants of the army to flee to Juancheng.
Although Lu Bu captured Dingtao, he did not have the slightest joy in his heart, at this time the battle situation was confusing, and it was unknown whether the situation of Guandu would be effective, and whether Zhongmu was still stable, which was what Lu Bu was most worried about.
In the face of these two major events, a small victory in front of us is really not gratifying.
