Chapter 1436: Pang De's Expedition to the Luling Tomb (I)
Zhao Yun's voice was like a dragon's roar, shaking all directions, and in an instant, all the best soldiers and horses surrounded him. Lu Xun saw Zhao Yun and Wen Shun kill Zhang Jaw and Sima Shi respectively, and he was shocked when he saw that he changed color again and again. At this time, Lu Xun heard Zhao Yun's shouting, suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately waved the sword in his hand, and commanded the soldiers and horses to cover up the killing. The soldiers and soldiers of the Wei army were already in a panic, and they were even more panicked when they saw that Zhang Jaw and Sima Shi were defeated and fled. This time, the ** is attacking in a big way, and the momentum is immense, like a thousand waves, wanting to sweep the world. In an instant, the Wei soldiers were all frightened and had no master, each of them ran around like headless flies, threw away their armor, and fled with their heads in their arms.
The three generals Zhao Yun, Wen Shun, and Lu Xun led their troops to drive the big advance, and with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, the Wei army was scattered everywhere, and the Wei army was captured countless people. Zhao Yun swooped straight away, invincible, no one could stop him, and killed all the way behind Zhang Jaw. It was originally a high-spirited open jaw, but now it was full of horror and fear, like a lion who fled after defeat, lest he become the belly of the dragon.
"Zhang Junyi, you don't want to escape~!!"
Zhao Yun shouted violently, and the silver light divine dragon behind him was in a hurry, soaring into the sky, roaring. In a trance, I heard the earth-shattering sound of the dragon roaring ghosts and gods. Several Wei generals, who were fleeing, were so frightened by Zhao Yu's roar that they fell off their horses one after another, screaming continuously. Zhang Zhang's heart was tight, his whole body was tight, and he only cared about whipping and fled, extremely embarrassed. Zhao Yun chased after him for seven or eight miles, and at dusk, the sky gradually darkened. Zhao Yun knew that it would be difficult to catch up, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army. At this time, Wen Shun rushed back with a dark face, looking at his expression, he must not have captured Sima Shi. Although this is the case, Zhao Yun's battle can be described as a complete victory. Not only did he repel the Zhangjaw army, but he also broke his army, killing nearly 1,000 of his troops, capturing nearly 2,000 people, and capturing countless good horses, baggage, and weapons.
Let's say that Zhao Yun collected the army and returned to the city, and the people of Wu in the city saw that Zhao Yun had won a great victory, and they all felt a bad breath, shouting 'Long live', and cheering constantly. has been bullied for a long time, and finally was able to raise his eyebrows. However, Zhao Yun and Wen Shun have no arrogance. Zhao Yun rode in front of him, appeased the people, and threatened that as long as the west ** was here, Wei Kou would not be allowed to invade. The people of Wu were overjoyed, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, and there was a wave of cheers, and even worse, they knelt on the ground and worshipped. Zhao Yun hurriedly dismounted and helped up the people who were kneeling down, and then persuaded them with kind words, and the people dispersed one after another. Lu Xun saw it in his eyes, his heart was rippling, as if he had knocked over a Baiwei bottle, and he didn't know the sweetness. After Zhao Yun finished the rectification, he summoned a group of soldiers to the government to discuss matters. Each general reported the battle, and this battle not only defeated the Wei army, but also gained a lot, and the first soldiers only suffered hundreds of casualties. When Lu Xun heard this, he changed color again, and sighed in his heart. At this time, Quan Cong suddenly knelt down, his face was full of shame, and he gave up.
"The last general is not effective in battle, and he is willing to be punished!!"
Lu Xun, who was already gloomy, heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly walked out to intercede for Quan Cong. Zhao Yunlong's eyes were impressive, and he was silent, but his eyes were slightly cast towards Wen Shun. Wen Shun understood, stepped out, and persuaded him.
"If there were no generals who sacrificed their lives to lure the enemy in this battle, how could there be such a great victory? According to Shun's opinion, although General Quan has had it, he has also made meritorious contributions. It can be made up for and saved from capital crimes. ”
Zhao Yun listened, and his expression froze. The rest of the Tang generals in the Yanei Palace, although they didn't like Quan Cong to be arrogant and had no one in their eyes, but seeing Wen Shun interceding for him, they also came out one after another and persuaded each other in unison. Zhao Yun opened his mouth at this time, and his face was solemn and said to Quan Cong.
"Benhou Zhizi Huang and Wei Kou have a common enmity. But you are already my general of the Western Tang Dynasty, you should put state affairs first, how can you ignore the overall situation because of your own selfishness!? In the West, from the commanders and colonels to the sergeants and soldiers, although there are military positions and identities, they are all like brothers and sisters, and they are brothers who fight side by side and can give their lives. Because of this, our Western Tang army can be famous all over the world, go into battle and fight, brave and fearless. This is the way of governing the army that I am the king of the Western Tang Dynasty. I also hope that Zihuang will keep it in mind. Today's mistakes will be offset by merit. You will also be demoted to lieutenant in the army, and you will be the lieutenant general of His Highness. Can you take it!? ”
Quan Cong had long heard that the Western Tang Dynasty was strict in governing the army, and he thought that Zhao Yun would be severely punished for this, but he didn't know that Wen Shun and others tried their best to persuade him, and he was grateful in his heart, kneeling down and bowing, and his voice was slightly choked up.
"The last general has thanked Longhou for not killing him, and he will serve as a dog and horse!!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled happily. And they all withdrew. When he was young, Zhao Yun looked around at everyone and said slowly.
"Zhang Junyi retreated in defeat this time, and he will inevitably repay Emperor Wei. Emperor Cao Cao of Wei is a hero in the world, not comparable to Zhang Junyi and others. If he comes with a large army, what can he do!? ”
As Zhao Yun spoke, his eyes looked at Lu Xun. Lu Xun's expression sank, he stepped out, and after bowing respectfully, his eyes were bright, and he replied in a deep voice.
"Long Hou doesn't have to worry too much. According to Xun's expectations, Wei Kou's troops attacked Eastern Wu, repeatedly fought viciously, and lost troops and generals. This time, Emperor Wei sent Zhang Junyi to come, thinking that Wu Nan was empty and wanted to seize it quickly. And Zhang Junyi returned from defeat, greatly reduced his troops, Emperor Wei first won Wubei, the situation was not stable, and he would never dare to lead a large army to attack. In this way, even if he personally led his troops and horses, there would never be many troops. Longhou can quickly prepare for trouble, and immediately use the deep ditch to counter it!! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he happily smiled and said.
"What Lu Gong said is very good, and it is exactly what Ben Hou wants!!"
Therefore, Zhao Yun followed Lu Xun's plan, quickly made a transfer, and gave the baggage taken from the Wei army to the people in the city. The people were overjoyed, and they all came to the aid of ** to prepare for the incident. Lu Xun saw that Zhao Yun was not only strict in governing the army, cautious and meticulous, but also close to the people, and he was both happy and worried. Naturally, the joy is that the people of Wunan can be peaceful under the guard of Zhao Yun, and they will soon be able to return to normal and live in peace. The worry is that Zhao Yun alone is so good, if he wants to use strategies in the future to find an opportunity to restore the country, it will not be easy. Although this is the case, Lu Xun thought that the most important thing was to gain Zhao Yun's trust, so he tried his best to complement each other, make suggestions, and work diligently. Lu Xun's prestige in Wunan was extremely high, and under Lu Xun's assistance, the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Hengyang were quickly stabilized. And Zhao Yun also informed the people of each county in accordance with the previous instructions of King Wenhan of the Western Tang Dynasty that when the situation in southern Wu was calmed, they could all get a share of land, be funded, and return to their old business. Therefore, the people of the three counties also settled at ease, and seemed to gradually get used to becoming the people of the Western Tang Dynasty.
Let's say that Pang De was ordered to capture Guiyang and Luling counties. Before leaving the army, Pang De used three chapters of the law with his soldiers, not to kill the people in vain, not to take anything from the people, and not to insult the people. Whoever commits a crime will be severely punished. The West ** has always been strictly disciplined, and the soldiers and soldiers of the Western Tang Dynasty have sufficient food and salary, so they will naturally not violate the law and discipline. As a result, Pound marched all the way, mainly to recruit and surrender. Although Pang De's prestige is not as good as Zhao Yun, he is also one of the five lion generals of the Western Tang Dynasty after all, and his Western Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are majestic. Most of the city and county officials have surrendered to the city. As for those who were die-hard, Pound was kind enough to persuade and explain the stakes. Those who understand things are still willing to agree in the end. At this point, Pang De marched all the way to Shenshu, first taking Guiyang County, until the county town of Luling 'Gaochang'.
It is said that Luling is too shou Zhang Xiu, the second son of Zhang Zhao, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, this person is rich in five cars, well-read, and very talented. At that moment, Zhang Xiu heard that Pang De led an army to attack, and he had taken Guiyang without much effort, and Luling and Guiyang were close to the city and county, and most of them were also voted to Pang De. Luling did not have many troops, only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and all the officials were in chaos, and most of them persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender. Zhang Xiu was in danger and talked to everyone.
"Gaochang City, solid as gold, there are more natural dangers to rely on, although Pang Lingming is strong and strong, it is not easy to conquer Gaochang. You are all ministers of Eastern Wu, and you are the ones who eat the country, how can you turn your back on the Lord and join the enemy!? ”
Zhang Xiu's words made the officials ashamed, so they didn't dare to say more. Zhang Xiu quickly transferred the soldiers and horses of Luling to Gaochang City, and personally led the soldiers and civilians in the city to prepare for defense. Zhang Xiu was benevolent and popular, and the military and the people were willing to do their best to help. A few days later, Pang De led his troops to a high mountain somewhere southeast outside Gaochang City. Pang De looked at it from a high position, and saw that Gaochang City was heavily guarded and had sufficient defenses, so he couldn't help frowning deeply, and said in a condensed voice.
"I heard that this Luling Taishou is the son of Zhang Zhao, the prime minister of Eastern Wu. Zhang Zhao has always been known for his stubbornness, the so-called father must have his son, this Zhang Xiu is also a stubborn person. At this time, the guard of the Great Wall is so tight, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu has already ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death with our army!! ”
When Ma Dai heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at it tightly, but his expression was also heavy, so he admonished Pang De.
"If this is the case, we must not act rashly, otherwise it will only cause anger among the soldiers and people in the city. Dai has a plan, maybe you can give it a try! ”
When Pound heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked very happily.
"Bo Zhan, what's the plan, hurry up!!"
Ma Dai's expression tightened, and then he whispered to Pound.
"The lord of Guiyang, Bo Gu Shao, is the son of Gu Yong, who is too often of Eastern Wu. And Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao have always been friends, and the two families are world friends. In this case, why didn't the general teach Gu Shao to think that he should be in the city and sneak into the city!? “
Pound was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked tightly.
"How to act, Bo Zhan quickly explain!!"
Ma Dai then whispered so, so, so. Pang De listened to the plan, so he quickly taught people to summon Gu Shao from Guiyang, and at the same time, while reorganizing the army, he set up a camp at the foot of the mountain. Let's say that Pound's camp was set up, but there was no movement, and the troops did not move. Zhang Xiu sent scouts to investigate every day, but he didn't see any measures taken by Pang Dejun. Zhang Xiu was suspicious, but all the officials persuaded one after another, each saying that they had heard about it, saying that Pang De took Guiyang and served the people with benevolence and righteousness, and he did not commit any crimes in the autumn, so he was supported by the people. Now it must be unwilling to suffer from the misery of life, so as to wait for everyone to surrender the city.
