Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mighty City (4)
Tangcang Town discovered the grain of the Shu army garrison, Guo Shao heard the news, gave the command of the forward to Li Chuyun, and personally rode to Tangcang Town. On the way, he met the first army Du Yuhou, and ordered him to take the four commanders to leave the Huanghua Valley and return to Weiwu City.
In the southwest of Tangcang Town, leaning against the big mountain and facing the ancient road water, there is a large camp of the Shu army, and there are many houses in it; At this time, all the officials and generals who remained had surrendered. Guo Shao, Wang Zhang, Luo Yanhuan and others rode horses and waded through the river valley to the granary that had been guarded by troops.
Guo Shao was a little impatient, and strode into a house, only to see seven or eight cylindrical hoards standing inside, surrounded by dense bamboo strips. Guo Shao pulled out the barrier knife, stabbed it from the middle with a knife in his hand, and then pulled it to the side. Suddenly, the bamboo strips were torn, revealing the sack inside, and the wheat flowed out, Guo Shao reached out to catch it, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and turned around and said: "How many granaries are there, how much grain is there." ”
A Shu official hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and said: "If you go back to the general, Tangcang Town has 20,000 grains in stock, which can supply more than a month of Tangcang near the left army and people." ”
Guo Shao's eyes lit up, his face turned red, and he couldn't suppress his excitement...... Just when there is a shortage of food, these grains are really a charcoal in the snow!
The official hurriedly said: "The guard general Wang Jian found that the Zhou army had entered the valley, and thought that the Tangcang army had been defeated when they left the mountain, so he ordered the granary to be burned. The lowly envoy stratagem him into the house, and ambushed the soldiers to hold it, so that the food was saved. ”
"You're doing a good job." Guo Shao said casually.
Twenty thousand! For the time being, there was only one number circling in his mind. The Shu army in Tangcang Town wanted to supply rations for the army and the people, but Guo Shao would not consider feeding the captives and Shu people at all...... There is no arson, looting, and slaughter, which is considered benevolence. escorted the captives directly out of the Qinling Mountains, and threw the burden to Wang Jing. Guo Shao only had to consider the army's rations, and the soldiers could continue to fight only when they were full.
Since the Tang Dynasty to the present, there are ten buckets, which is equivalent to stone. Guo Shao crackled in his heart for a while, supplying 6,000 infantry, theoretically more than a hundred days.
"Hey, hey." Guo Shaoyu laughed to himself.
Wang Zhang, Luo Yanhuan and the others also smiled when they saw this, Guo Shao turned around, slapped Luo Yanhuan on the shoulder with one palm, and looked at Wang Zhang: "Send someone to guard, let's take a look at other granaries." ”
Guo Shaoxin said: Please allow me to revel for a while, and look at the full warehouse of grain for a while.
At that moment, in front of the officials of Shu and others, he said loudly: "Be kind to the Shu people who surrender, and the captives will be sent to Fengxiang first." Zuo You, those who have made meritorious contributions have been recorded. ”
Guo Shao swept away the depression of some time ago at this time. At that time, although he was quite calm, after all, his heart was not steady; It's like when I go out to study, my living expenses can only last for ten days, and I can't settle down...... The panic should be worse than that, because a large group of people will ask you for food, and you can't save it; If you owe the belly of the soldier, the soldier will also lack the strength of the battle. The martial artists have nothing to say, and everyone can't tell the truth, but they understand it very well in their hearts.
For a while, he walked with a swagger, and his tone of voice was different. There's no way, Guo Shao doesn't like to pretend very much, and he doesn't have to hold back his happiness.
When he returned to the outside of the mighty city in the evening, Guo Shao did not panic when he saw this city. It doesn't matter if the Shu army is shrunk inside, anyway, I have food to eat, so I will slowly figure out a way. Due to the ups and downs of his mood, he suddenly relaxed from his worries, Guo Shao looked at Weiwu Cheng and scolded: "Mother's Wang Huan, look at how Lao Tzu plays you to death!" ”
Not to mention that sometimes it's not bad to be full of foul language, as if you spit out a bad breath, it's refreshing.
The crowd listened and laughed.
Guo Shao pondered for a while and said, "Send someone to report to Wang Jieshuai, and then ask him to send troops to follow up." ”
……
There is no need for Guo Shao to send someone to report the victory, and within two days, Wang Jing will know the battle situation ahead. The generals and officials of Fengxiang Town were all surprised, and they looked at each other in front of Wang Jing.
"Ten days, ten days of work to get tens of thousands? Could it be that the people in front of him deliberately exaggerated and reported untruthfully? The middle-aged staff who often followed Wang Jing looked puzzled, "There is still such a battle?" ”
The general said: "A few days ago, more than 2,000 prisoners were sent back, and this time it was said that 6,000 people of the Shu army were broken in Huanghua Valley and Tangcang Town, and the prisoners were sent back." There are more than 8,000 living people just seen, so why not report the number of 10,000 people who have been killed? ”
Wang Jing said calmly: "If the striker plays smoothly, the entire Western Expeditionary Army will save trouble, which is not a bad thing." The old man thought that he could mobilize the troops of Fengxiang Town to enter Chencang Road for reinforcements, hand over Weiwu City and Fengzhou City to us, and ordered Guo Shaobu to drive directly to Guzhen. ”
The staff suddenly said: "As long as you occupy Guzhen, you can coerce the throat of Qingniling, block the Shu army from going north to reinforce, and Qin and Feng will become the turtles in the urn!" ”
Wang Jingdao: "Since this is the case, you can give an order." Xiang Xun Department dispersed the pass and took the Qinling Road to enter Qinzhou. The first part of the Fengxiang Army went to Qinzhou along the Weishui; One took the Chencang Road, went out of the pass, and took over the vanguard army to attack Weiwu City and Fengzhou. And Guo Shaobu's forward went straight to Guzhen and quickly blocked the throat of the Shu army! The army of the Western Expedition attacked on all fronts and caught it off guard! ”
The generals bowed and sighed at Wang Jieshuai's strategizing, talking and laughing about the battle.
…… But the guest province envoy Zan Jurun does not see it that way, he now thinks that the person who sets the Ding battle situation is the forward Hu Jiejun Guo Shao, although there is an adventure, but the fighter is good and the luck is not bad. The vanguard swept the main force of Fengzhou on the 10th, used troops quickly, and then captured 20,000 pieces of grain and grass, which fundamentally made up for the lack of poor preparation of grain and grass in the early stage of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Zan Jurun thinks that he is not biased towards one side or the other, but just plays the report in a decent manner. He wrote a recital, and then immediately prepared to set off and go to the front in person to see what was believing.
Zan Jurun paced back and forth in the house for a few steps, feeling that the official family and the Privy Council would happily celebrate this great victory, but his own recital was too solid and had no outstanding impact at all.
Of course, he hurriedly walked to the bookcase, picked up the brush and rewrote the end, and used the lyrical exclamation technique of Taishi Gong, predicting the recovery of Qin, the phoenix is like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and the day is just around the corner! Then he said that the emperor was a martial artist, had a big mind, and found a breakthrough to dominate the world; He also praised the Prime Minister of the Privy Council for his strategic planning and proper recommendation of talents. There are wise kings in the country, loyal and brave generals below, and the ancient and modern clouds are unparalleled.
Zan Jurun wrote it in one breath, read it himself, and felt that the writing was brilliant and the words were heroic. I was very satisfied at the moment, and while I was busy transcribing it, I called my entourage to come in and explained: "When I finish writing the good news, I will immediately send it to Tokyo with a fast horse of 600 miles!" ”
