Chapter 34: The Bear's Arrow

At the same time as Zhou visited and attacked Hanzhong, Wang Dun took a large boat up the river according to the agreement, marched thousands of miles to Badong.

Jin generals Li Heng and Tian Song served as vanguards, and it was not until they entered Yidu County that they heard the news of the loss of Badong and hurriedly sent clippers to report to Wang Dun. Wang Chuzhong was still in Jiangling, and asked staff officers Qian Feng and Shen Chong urgently: "I don't want Yang Qian and others to be so useless, between the ten months, Badong fell to the enemy, how should our army deal with it?" ”

Qian Feng arched his hand and said: "This heaven is determined to make Ming Gonggong merit!" Then he explained: "The thieves have to get Badong, the people's hearts are still uncertain, the city is not yet in order, I will come with a large army, and I have a good chance of winning." If they have a firm foothold, it will be difficult to attack—and they should move quickly. ”

Wang Dun asked: "The fish recovered all the cities, all of them fell into the hands of thieves, and it was difficult to get there, how to capture it?" ”

Qian Feng said: "If Chen Yun waits for the thief to have a stable foothold, there is a basis for advance and retreat, and it is really difficult to attack. And we are coming from the east, if we climb the mountain on our backs and attack, it will be difficult to overcome. Now you can ignore the cities, and the big ship goes up the river and goes straight to the river-the other place is slightly flat, which is convenient for the confrontation with the enemy. ”

Shen Chong waved his hand and said, "No, no." If I abandon Padang and go straight up, if I plunder the back road for the thieves and cut off the grain, I will be trapped in death, and it will be difficult to return home! ”

Qian Feng said with a smile: "The thief was originally a little Yang Rongdi, and he was never used to water warfare. If he had a boat, he would come against me, and if he did not come against me, he would have no choice but to be on the water. Now I have come thousands of miles, all the troops are sailors, and there are no foot soldiers, if I give up the boat and land on the shore, with my shortness and the length of attacking the enemy, the chance of victory is slim; But let me use my strength, and attack the enemy's shortness, and give up Badong and go to Ba County, and the thieves of Padang will return to the army to hinder it.

"Although I have gone up the river, the soldiers can rest in the boat; He came from the land route, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and was bound to be tired. When the time comes, with a fresh army, when the enemy is weak, how can it be unreasonable? ”

Then he warned Wang Dun and said: "However, if I defeat the enemy Badong's pawn, Chengdu will definitely send a large army to help, our division is alone, and its momentum will not last long, we must not resist it, just seek to recover Badong, and the Ming Duke can play a victory to the imperial court." When the thief sees that I don't move, he will go all out to the enemy Zhou Shida, Zhou Shida has no way out, and he can only bow down and obey Yu Minggong. ”

Originally, they played a war to make it a fake, and it was true to expel Zhou Yu and annex Jingzhou - that's why they only led the sailors to come, and not to bring the infantry army, if they entered Shu by land, the cost would be too high - so Qian Feng reminded Wang Dun, you must not forget the original intention because you won one or two battles, once you fall into a long-term duel with the Cheng army, our army only has a water division, and the transportation route is too far, there is really not much chance of winning.

Wang Dun pondered for a long time and said: "Use the plan of the world for the time being, and see the results. He ordered Li Heng and Tian Song to continue to march, and wait until they entered the territory of Badong and reported after they found out the enemy situation.

Wang Dun took the main force behind, and more than 100 boats and boats of all sizes went out to the gorge in the northwest direction of Yiling, and then asked where the front army was, and received a reply: "It is not far from the mouth of the gorge." Wang Chuzhong was puzzled: "When I was in Jiangling, they had already arrived at Yiling, how could they march so slowly?" Could it be that the thieves have a naval army to rebel? ”

The small school reported that "the gorge is dangerous and turbulent, which is not conducive to boating, and in many places it can only be pulled up by manpower, and the sails and oars are useless, and it is a slow ......."

When Wang Dun heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered someone to find the nearby natives, and inquired in detail about the hydrology and geography of Padang. ”

According to Qian Feng's meaning, let's just advance from the waterway, ignore the enemy on land, and wait until we rush through Padang County in one breath, then Li Shou will hear the report and can only chase by land. But the problem is that from Yiling to the west, which is the so-called "Three Gorges" area in later generations, the water is turbulent, and the boats are sad, and many places can only rely on sending people to land to pull fibers, so that the boats can be dragged across the dangerous shoals.

If you don't land, you won't be able to pass at all, if you land, the fortresses on the mountains will control the banks of the river, as long as you shoot arrows, the soldiers who go ashore won't even have time to carry the rope, and they will all die!

The key is that Qian Feng and Shen Chong are both from Jiangzuo - both from Wuxing County - they have never been to Jiangyou in their lives, let alone Bashu, based on the underdeveloped level of information in these years, they have no concept of the danger of the "Three Gorges" at all. Qian Feng is still pondering, they all say that the land is steep, so let's not go on land, but on the water, won't it be fine?

As for Wang Dun, he had never been to Jingzhou before, and had been sitting in Jiangzhou, supervising Tao Kan, Zhou Wan, Gan Zhuo and other generals to conquer and suppress thieves. In addition, the original intention of this time was just to enter Padang and show off his might, in order to express to the imperial court: I have planned to visit Zhou. Then he turned around and went to help his brother Wang Hui collect Jingzhou. Since he had no intention of really fighting with Ba Yi, he didn't do much homework in advance on the hydrology and geography of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

But who would have thought that Padang County would be lost after only half the way, then you can't stop at the east of Yufu and stop patrolling—it's too far away from the battlefield to be justified. Therefore, Qian Fengcai offered a plan to take Padang, but ...... Because of the ignorance of geographical factors, it is completely a castle in the air.

Fortunately, the Yangtze River is a dangerous and narrow place, and it started from the territory of Jingzhou, and there is no need to enter Badong before encountering such a bad thing. Wang Dunxin said that if I enter Badong, and then encounter a dangerous beach, I am forced to order my soldiers to pull the fiber, and I will be defeated by the thieves, and then I will go up the river, and it will be difficult to advance and retreat, and the whole division will definitely be scattered, and the collection will not be able to be collected......

Rush to the front army, stop at Wuxian, and don't go any further!

However, only from Yiling to Wuxian, four hundred miles of waterway, Wang Dun's boat master walked for a full ten days, almost slower than taking the land route. When he arrived in Wuxian, Wang Dun's ambition and patience had been smoothed out by such a steep landscape, and the food and straw materials were not fully prepared, so he already had the intention of retreating. He sent Li Heng and Tian Song to lead their troops to land, and the sentry came forward, instructing that if you meet the enemy, you can try a little, if you see that the enemy is strong, or the geographical situation is really unfavorable to me, then quickly retreat, useless loss of strength.

Li Shou waited for five or six thousand reinforcements in Chengdu, but he couldn't wait for the enemy to come, he was puzzled, so he personally led hundreds of soldiers to the east to sentry, and met the Jin army head-on. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Li Shou ascended to the top and relied on it, straightened the Jin formation, slashed Tian Song, and Li Heng left in a panic - thousands of Jin troops were broken by less than half of their own army!

At this time, the prince Chuzhong completely extinguished the idea of cutting down Shu, so he retreated to Jiangling and turned to take Xiangyang by land. Li Shou detected that the Jin army was far away, so he left the deputy general to garrison Badong, and he hurried to Hanzhong to save Yang Hu.

——————————

Li Shou can basically be said to have not encountered the main force of the Jin army, on the other hand, Wang Da arrived in Chuyang first, but he couldn't see the Jin people on the left, and he couldn't see the Jin division on the right, so he also pounced.

Because Xiong Yizhi had not yet entered the realm of Hanzhong, he suddenly received an urgent report from the rear, saying that Qiu Chizhi was against him for a while!

The main reason is that Liang Yi is in Wudu County, and the oppression of Qiu Chi Di is too deep, this is out of his selfishness, and on the other hand, Qiu Chi Di and Dan Changqiang have a vendetta, so if you don't take this opportunity to take revenge, when will you wait? He himself cleaned up the people and sent three points of force, down to the small officials, he could get five points of force, and then to the Qiang people who moved to occupy the land one after another, then he could come out to full ten.

Originally, not long after the Yang clan was wiped out, most of the chieftains in Dizhong were killed by the Jin and Qiang people, and the group was depressed and leaderless, so they could only swallow their anger and endure the bitter time. Coincidentally, this time in the southern expedition to Hanzhong, Liang Yi not only left by himself, but also brought 2,000 Qiang troops, so Zhu Di took this opportunity to secretly connect with each other, and when the army had entered the enemy's territory, it would rise up.

- Of course, they didn't calculate, whether it was Liang or Xiong Yizhi, the speed of the march was extremely slow. If he rebelled a few days later, it is estimated that Lao Xiong would never dare to return to the enemy easily.

The rebellion should be combined with the outside, and the county seat of Wudu was broken in an instant, and all the Jin and Qiang in the city were killed, and then they attacked the defense in the east. The people of Sixiang gathered more and more, nearly 10,000 people, and surrounded the city of Xiabian.

There are only Wudu county guards in the city, as well as the deputy governor of the "Wulin Battalion", Sima and others who command less than a thousand defenders, and most of them are newly recruited for a long time, and they have not had time to send Chang'an to the training - after all, Pei should ask the newly recruited soldiers from all over the country to train first, it is simple to say, calculating the distance and cost, in fact, it is not very realistic, if it is not a critical area, it has to be postponed - dare not go to war, can only mobilize young and strong, and defend the city.

Xiong Yizhi hurriedly led the army back to the rescue, and the march speed of the north return was more than twice as fast as that of the south, and in just three days, he arrived at the city. Lao Xiong is also really anxious, Wudu is in turmoil, attacking the city and trapping the city, as a general of the town guard, he must take the main responsibility, regardless of it for the time being, the money and treasures I have worked hard to collect in the past few months, as well as more than a dozen concubines, are all in the city!

Lao Xiong is not without courage, although in recent years, he has been striving for great strength and has the intention of stopping there, but if anyone wants to take all the gains of his hard work and fight back to before the liberation, then he will definitely refuse to rest, and he must fight hard with others. So regardless of it, he immediately waved his army to take the rebellion.

However, although the "Wulin Battalion" is the elite of the Jin army, after all, after more than ten days of mountain marching, everyone is tired, the horses are also fat, and suddenly encountering three times the rebellion of their own, it is inevitable that they will have no fighting spirit and have fear. The rebel knew that if the Jin army was defeated, his clan would be left behind, so everyone fought to the death, but they broke the front of the Jin army and killed Xiong Yizhi in front of him.

In the fierce battle, a stray arrow flew in, and the old bear had no time to dodge, and was hit in the abdomen, and entered through the armor. He couldn't help screaming and fell off his horse, and the Jin army was so angry that it led to the collapse of the whole line.

After retreating twenty miles, the generals regrouped, and the military doctors had time to gather to see the main general's injuries. They cut through their armor with their blades, made all kinds of preparations, and then pulled out the feathered arrow with trepidation—who would have thought that it would bleed profusely and must be blocked in time...... Only a few blood stains?

It turned out that the old bear's belly fat was too thick, and although this arrow broke through the skin and entered the flesh, it was not able to penetrate the fat layer......

Knowing that not only was his internal organs not injured, but he didn't even bleed much, the old bear, who was lying on the stretcher moaning and wheezing, as if he would die at any time, sat up in an instant. Then he looked around and said in a low voice: "I am a plan to deceive the enemy, so that the traitor thinks that I am dead, but I don't have ......."

So he rose up and ordered three hundred sharp soldiers, let them rest well, and when it was dark, they went to attack the rebels under the city at night. The rebels really didn't set up a visit - in fact, they were all gathered temporarily, there was no unified command, and there was no one to coordinate the fortifications - plus they were not used to night battles at all, so they were broken by the Jin army in one fell swoop.

Immediately, Xiong Yizhi entered Xiabi City, pacified the people, and then waved his army to Wudu County. It was only at this time that Liang Yan led the Qiang soldiers back - Lao Xiong looked at the faces of those goods and women, and sent someone to inform Liang Yan before returning to the division, otherwise he would probably not be able to come back.

The Jin army besieged Wudu for three days, then broke through the city and slaughtered all the people in the city. Immediately, Xiong Yizhi dispatched soldiers and horses to launch a dragnet search in Wudu County - all the Rong people, regardless of men, women, old and children, were put on the ropes, and those who dared to be arrested were immediately killed.

- This is still a lesson from Guo Mo's killing of Peng Lu in the north and being reprimanded by Pei Gai, otherwise I am afraid that he would not have been arrested, but only killed.

Nearly 10,000 Qiu Chi people were killed before and after, and 20,000 were captured, among which there were also many Qiang people who had just moved over. Liang Yi ran to Xiong Yizhi to ask for his own family membership, and Xiong Yizhi hated him - if you didn't have no way to govern, how could the people rebel? It hurt me so much that I was hit by an arrow and almost died-Ai replied ignorantly: "It's all the Rong clan, how can you tell it?" ”

Liang Yi said that you can tell by looking at the color of the clothes, Xiong Yi's way: "It's not me who is dressed and wears feather wraps, what's the difference?" Liang Yan also said that he could tell the difference by listening to the language, the way of the bear: "The language of beasts, who is impatient to listen!" ”

Liang had no choice but to prepare another generous gift and redeem most of the Qiang people. His losses on this trip were too great, not only were most of the industries in Wudu County looted by the Di people, but he also had to pay an extra fee to sue Lao Xiong; What's even worse is that the Di people were all caught by the old bear, and he wanted to make up for the losses from the Di people, but he couldn't get a chance......

Xiong Yizhi almost captured Qiu Chi Di in Wudu County, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked Zhang Jie, saying: "Dig a pit and bury it, the most trouble-free, but the governor of the capital is benevolent, even Xirong will not let more ...... killed"

Zhang Jie said: "Da Sima is to appease Xirong. There are many people in Longshang, and if the matter of our clan's annihilation of the enemy pool is publicized, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, or there will be rebellion...... Even the Qiang people and even other miscellaneous people may not be happy to see this. We went out of the city to watch the captives, the Thai half-old and young women and children, but we can match the women with soldiers and Jin people in the county, and place the old ** and the Taishou - how they deal with it is none of my business. ”

So he kicked the ball to the county guard, and the county guard was also very upset, and finally had to find some barren land to house these people, old and young—in fact, they were left to fend for themselves.

In this way, "Qiu Chiyi" has completely become a historical term.
