Chapter 274: The Ghost Mourns

"Childe, General Guan is really modest. The subordinates were fortunate to accompany General Guan and watch the power of the Black Wind Ride led by General Guan, which was really a blessing for Sansheng. Whether it is the courage of General Guan or the high combat power of the Black Wind Cavalry, the battle in the southwest is enough to make his subordinates unforgettable.

When General Guan first arrived in the southwest, he led the Black Wind Cavalry, and used the guerrilla strategy of Gongzi when he was wandering in Hujing in the past, first using guerrilla methods to deplete the thieves' troops, leading the thieves to chase them, and the thieves were tired of chasing, and then launched a fierce attack with the momentum of a raging storm, and picked five waves of thieves' stockades within a month.

The thieves in the southwest were frightened as long as they heard the name of General Guan, and everyone was in danger. And General Guan picked five waves of thieves to collect a lot of prisoners, and the remaining thieves at that time had lingering fears about General Guan, and they united together to resist General Guan.

General Guan ordered me to lead 1,000 soldiers and captured prisoners to contain the surrounding thieves first. And he led the black wind to ride away, and in the second month, he overturned several waves of thieves who had fallen behind. At the same time, it also took in a lot of prisoners.

At this time, the name of General Guan has made the thieves in the southwest area so frightened that they are restless, and they are afraid that General Guan will lead the army to conquer day and night. Later, they actually wanted to make the plan surrender, and wanted to take advantage of General Guan's lax defense to annihilate General Guan's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, their carving insect skills had already been discovered by General Guan, and General Guan planned to ask them to go to a certain valley in the southwest and ambush heavy troops. Those thieves didn't know that General Guan had already fallen into the trap, waiting for them to be caught, and they came one after another according to the promise.

When all these thieves came to the valley mouth, General Guan blocked the entrance and exit of the valley mouth with heavy soldiers, and then led a large avalanche at both ends of the valley mouth, flooding most of the thieves with snow, and then shot them with arrows, after ten thousand arrows were fired, and then fell on the boulder, and finally General Guan and my army led the army to fight with the rest of the thieves.

This battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the entire Gudao Pass was slaughtered into a bloody red. There were nearly 30,000 dead thieves! Later, many hunters near the valley road saw that the double walls of the valley road were red, the red snow paved the road, the blood was deep in the rock cracks, and the blood stains could not be removed. Since then, this road has been called the blood pass by the people in the vicinity.

The name of General Guan shocked the southwest area, and was praised by the people in the southwest area as the name of ghost mourning. I heard that the children of Hedong in the southwest were crying in the middle of the night, so I bluffed them, and if they made any more trouble, they would come. The children immediately did not dare to cry anymore. It can be seen from this that General Guan's prestige in the southwest area. ”

Zhou Cang was reminiscing and detailing, and the admiration on his face was about to overflow.

"Noise!"

Guan Yu glanced at Zhou Cang very indifferently and said lightly. Hearing this, Zhou Cang hurriedly stood back in his seat, and looked at Guan Yu resignedly, lest he dislike Guan Yu.

At this time, in Zhou Cang's heart, Guan Yu was like a god-like figure, and his admiration for Guan Yu was, as the saying goes, like surging yellow water.

"Oh, good, good! Guan Ghost Funeral, Second Brother, you have won a good name. Demons mourn, ghosts mourn, evil spirits will also lose their hearts when they hear it. It is also appropriate to use this name to describe the fierceness of the second brother. ”

"Third brother, this is just a child's play in the mouths of the people. I can't take it seriously. ”

"Hehe, the second brother, the name of the champion of the third brother is also a child's play in the mouths of the people of Bingzhou. Do you also think that the third brother is not worthy of the name of this champion, and the second brother himself is not worthy of the name of this ghost? ”

Ghost mourning, what is it. Guan Yu will be known as the saint of martial arts and the saint of martial artists in the future.

"Of course not. But the name of this ghost is very ominous. ”

"Hehe, what's ominous, I think this name is good. It can also exorcise ghosts and bluff demons. But second brother, you are really powerful, blood pass, blood pass, double walls are red, red snow paves the road, blood is deep in rock crevices, and blood stains can't be removed.

If there is a chance in the future, the third brother will definitely go to the blood pass to have a look and see how spectacular the battlefield of the second brother is except for the 30,000 thieves. ”

Wen Han walked to Guan Yu's side, his eyes were indifferent with a strong sense of admiration, although he knew that Guan Yu's move must be earth-shattering, but Guan Yu was beyond Wen Han's imagination, just by the origin of the blood pass, Wen Han was excited to hear it. And Xu Huang and Gao Shun on the side couldn't help but take a few breaths of cool air when they heard it, and looked at Guan Yu's eyes, full of admiration.

Guan Yu's arrogance was a little cold, although he was very satisfied that Wen Han and the others had such a reaction, but on the surface, he just said a word, and after it was not worth talking about, he did not dwell on this matter anymore, and changed the topic and asked Wen Han about the war in the northeast.

Wen Han smiled on his face, and while reminiscing, he told the battle in the Northeast. But when everyone heard that Wen Han and the 3,500 soldiers had endured the cold wind for three days and three nights, they all couldn't help but marvel at Wen Han's tenacity. Hearing the bloody battle between Wen Han and the 30,000 white dragon thieves again, everyone present held their breath unconsciously and clenched their fists, as if they wanted to help in the battle.

And in the end, when they heard that Hu Cai was rebelled against because of his tyranny, everyone felt a lot for a while. As a general, he should treat the corporal well, so that the soldiers and horses will be united, and they will be unstoppable. Hu Cai just didn't understand this truth, so he ended up like this.

Later, Wen Han asked Guan Yu about the results of each battle in the Southwest Campaign, Guan Yu's battle strategy was slightly different from Wen Han's, and most of the thieves recruited by Guan Yu were used as cannon fodder to keep the elite soldiers under his command.

At the peak of Guan Yu's army, a total of tens of thousands of thieves were recruited, and in the battle of Bloody Pass, there were nearly 8,000 dead cannon fodder. According to Guan Yu's words, the reason why he has such a strategy is that of course he has selfish intentions, and the Black Wind Cavalry is the foundation of the Hedong Group, the ace army.

And the Black Wind *** skill is already mature, and Wen Han and Guan Yu have also decided that they will not replenish their troops at will, so as not to drag down the combat power of the Black Wind Cavalry. According to this, the Black Wind Rider cannot tolerate any casualties.

Of course, the Black Wind Cavalry has superb combat power, and has the long-range combat power of mounted archery, and in peacetime, Guan Yu pays great attention to training the Black Wind Cavalry for personal self-protection, so it is rare to die in battle.

Second, Guan Yu said that most of the thieves he recruited were deterred by his force, so it was difficult to guarantee loyalty. He has no relationship with these surrendered thieves at all, and he takes it for granted that he uses it as cannon fodder. This method is also a common thing in the battle strategies of famous generals in all dynasties.

Therefore, in the end, when the southwest war ended, Guan Yu's original 2,500 Black Wind cavalry and Zhou Cang's 1,000 infantry were almost undamaged, and the remaining 2,500 thieves who surrendered had gone through several life-and-death battles, and of course those who remained were elite soldiers with a certain combat power.

Wen Han did not agree with or object to Guan Yu's method, because he understood that Guan Yu's actions were also to preserve the strength of his Hedong Group.

And when Gao Shun on the side heard that the Black Wind Cavalry led by Guan Yu had almost no casualties, his face darkened unconsciously, originally he thought that his trapped camp should be almost the same as the Black Wind Cavalry, but this time his trapped camp lost nearly six hundred people. Of course, this has a lot to do with the topography. The Black Wind Cavalry is the best at fighting on flat ground, and in the flat land, the guerrilla strategy can be used, coupled with Guan Yu's use of cannon fodder, the Black Wind Cavalry has fewer casualties, which is a matter of course.

However, although there are many factors, people cannot be resurrected after death, and Gao Shun's thoughts and feelings for the trapped camp are not inferior to Guan Yu's for Heifeng. So at this time, in Gao Shun's mind, he had begun to think of a series of plans to train the self-protection ability of the trapped camp. The combat method of trapping the camp is to advance without retreating, break everything, and stop when it is broken, and this sharp attack method will of course cause huge damage, in response to this, Gao Shun feels that it should be improved from all aspects.

Gao Shun was thinking silently, while Wen Han, who was sitting in the main seat, had a dark face at this time. Because just now, he learned from Xu Huang's mouth that in the March when he and Guan Yu were fighting against rebels and thieves in the northeast and southwest of Hedong, there were many strange phenomena here in Xihe.

First, the white wave thief, who originally clashed with Xu Huang who guarded the West River from time to time, suddenly quieted down in the past three months. This is really weird, Wen Han and Guan Yu's two troops and horses are fighting in the northeast and southwest of Hedong, and the fight is so hot, and there is no reason why the white wave thieves can't receive the news.

If they receive the news, of course they understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, once the war in the northeast and southwest is over. Wen Han would gather a large army to attack his White Wave Valley, so there was no way he could do anything about it. But what is puzzling is that in this March, the white wave thief is strangely quiet.

Second, in the vicinity of the Sai Ha near Hanoi, there are a lot of grain, grass, armaments, gold and silk and other materials being transported to Hanoi, and at the same time, there are several surrounding states and counties in the Sai Ha area, and a large number of small groups of people are also rushing to Hanoi. This phenomenon is really confusing, and Xu Huang faintly feels that there must be some conspiracy that does not see the light.

And Wen Han, who had a dark and calm face, habitually banged on the tabletop, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly thought of some of these strange clues in his mind, and his face suddenly twitched unconsciously.

At the same time, on the other side, Yangwu County in the east of the river, the Wang family's house.

"What! and 100,000 gold!! This Guo Da is simply a hungry tiger that can't be fed, and in the past three months, we, the wealthy families in Hedong, have given them hundreds of thousands of gold, tens of thousands of armaments, and a thousand stones of grain and grass. Moreover, our various clans have also drawn out a lot of private soldiers to join his command.

Manpower and materials, we have given so much. This Guo Da is not satisfied, and wants to ask for another 100,000 silver taels! He! He! He! It's just greedy enough to swallow an elephant! ”

The patriarch of the Zhang clan in Mi County was like a she-wolf who had stolen her wolf cubs, roaring loudly. His heart was dripping blood at the moment, and his face was full of pain.

"Hmph, what's the solution. Who told us to borrow his hand to eradicate Wen Bufan. Since we have asked him, he will not open his mouth of blood, but will do his best. However, this Guo Da is indeed too greedy, and he is about to exceed our bottom line. ”

The patriarch of the Gao clan in Juan County snorted coldly, his eyes reflected the light of a yin owl, Guo Da asked for it so recklessly, which had already angered him.

"Princes, do not be angry. Think about it, if Wen Bufan really succeeds in eradicating these thieves, he will sit in the position of Hedong Taishou. At that time, we will lose far more than what we have paid now.

Guo Da took a fancy to this point and dared to ask us for it so presumptuously. But fortunately, Yuan Benchu was still very good at dealing with the world. Open the passage for us, but it doesn't require too many benefits, and if it is possible in the future, let him be the lord of the east of the river, it is also a good idea.

After all, he was born in a wealthy family, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, and he is the leader of my generation, and as the lord of Hedong, he will definitely take the interests of our wealthy people as the head. It's not like that, and it's not like that, and it's going to be against us everywhere. ”

The patriarch of the Yanshi Jiang clan looked indifferent, but there was an unknown look in his eyes, and he knew the city at a glance.

"Hmm. That's right. If thieves are in turmoil today, the Han dynasty is hopeless. The era of the princes competing for the Central Plains is not far away, and we should also be ready to find a master for Hedong. Yuan Benchu is indeed suitable.

With the power we have accumulated, when the time comes, we will fund Yuan Benchu to expand the army and horses, and as long as there is food and wealth in this era, I am not afraid that no one will sell his life. When Yuan Benchu's troops are enough, let him make a good show for us, and today by Guo Da's evil anger, he will kill these insatiable white wave thieves completely! ”

The patriarch of the Li clan in Ji County pursed his lips coldly, his face full of angry killing intent.
