Chapter 208: Each Chooses
Da'an, a county in Runan, Che Laming Wang ordered the king to lead 10,000 troops to move to Ruyin County in the east of the county to set up defenses, with Shansang and Shen County as horns, and to guard against Yuan Shujun, who had killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and had nearly 200,000 troops. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info led 5,000 sea bream troops to prepare to rescue Tian Brown who was trapped by Yu She's army.
At this time, Sun Jian's old department in Luyang also ushered in the first major decision after Sun Jian's death.
When Sun Jian went north, he had a total army of 15,000 troops, and after annexing the 20,000 troops of Wang Rui, the former assassin of Jingzhou, the army reached more than 30,000 people. Because of the carelessness of being broken by Xu Rong in the east of Liangxian County, nearly 10,000 soldiers were lost. Later, he fought several battles with Dong Jun of Sanguan, Dong Zhuo of Luoyang, and Liu Biao's Xinjingzhou Army, and only about 20,000 people remained. After Sun Jian's death, more than 10,000 people were scattered, and only 5,000 people remained in Luyang at this time.
Sun Jian's remnants wanted to defect to Yuan Shu's army, which was at the height of his power at that time, but after Yuan Shu's defeat in Kuangting, he abandoned Yingchuan and Runan and went straight to Jiujiang, which made Sun Jian's remnants embarrassed.
Cheng Pu said: "When the lord was here, he originally wanted to temporarily rely on Yuan Shu's army, accumulate fame and military strength, and then establish himself as the master. However, at this time, the lord died in battle due to carelessness, and Yuan Shu retreated to Jiujiang County. Our army is also hanging alone, seeing the shortage of food and grass, where to go, I hope everyone will discuss it. ”
Wu Jing shouted: "What is there to discuss, when the lord is here, he will make up his mind to rely on Yuan Shu for the time being, and we will continue to rely on Yuan Shu." The eldest prince is about to become an adult, and he will lead us to succeed the unfinished business of the lord in the future. ”
Cheng Pu shook his head and said: "In Changsha County first, the lord was interested in the whole world. In Luoyang City, the lord even got the seal of the country. We all agree that the Lord is the Lord of Destiny. However, the fact that the lord died unexpectedly in a small pursuit battle in less than two months after winning the seal, which had to make me suspicious. Could it be that the virtue of the Sun family is not enough to replace the Liu family? The Sun family wanted to force the behavior, so the heavens only brought disaster to the Sun family? Let the lord die unexpectedly? ”
There were a total of five captains under the command of Sun Jian, Zu Mao died in battle, and only four were left at this time, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Wu Jing were four, although there were Sun Jing, Sun Ru, Sun He and other Sun clansmen, but their prestige in the army was insufficient. And Cheng Pu is Sun Jian's right-hand man and cadre, at this time, even Cheng Pu is suspicious, Sun Jun is afraid that he will not be far away.
Wu Jing immediately jumped up and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense, the Sun family is a noble family after Sun Wuzi." The Liu family has lost its deer, but the Sun family has gained its seal, and it is reasonable for the Sun family to replace the Liu family and take charge of the world. The death of the lord is a man-made disaster, how can it be the cause of a disaster sent by heaven. I Guan Bo Fu is wise and martial, and he will be the future lord of the world, how can you talk nonsense? ”
The generals think that Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, has no less courage than his father at a young age, and he is also very virtuous, very convincing, and can't help but nod. The Sun family has this son, or has the opportunity to win the world.
Huang Gai said: "Yuan Shu has already fled to Jiujiang, and it is still far away from our army in Runan County, and now our department really wants to continue to follow Yuan Shu?" Thinking that Han Fuguo had a relationship with the lord in the past, and he was closer to Runan, why not temporarily stay under his command and grow secretly? ”
"Han Yi has not broken through the three levels now, and it is difficult to say whether he is alive or dead." Wu Jing snorted coldly and said, "Although Yuan Shu fled to Jiujiang County, it was not a decline, it was just a temporary defeat. There are not only 200,000 people in its department, but also 40,000 or 50,000 people in Yingchuan and Sanguan. After a few months of rest, it will inevitably invade the south of the country again. And in the first county of Runan, Han Yi only has more than 10,000 horses to guard, how can he defeat the attack of more than 200,000 troops on the east and west roads of Yuan Shu? ”
Han Dang said: "I think it's better to send charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake. Han Fuguo is trapped within the three passes, if our army saves him, we will get his good reward......"
Wu Jing sneered: "It's just a son-in-law, what kind of reward do I need from him?" Not to mention anything else, in terms of practical benefits, Han Yi is extremely good at military affairs, although there are few soldiers and horses, but there are many good generals. Now that our military headquarters are scattered, what is needed is the same as soldiers and horses. Although Yuan Shu has many troops, there are few generals who are good at fighting, and it is the right time for our army to go. Dependent on Han Yi, what practical benefits can we get? ”
The generals were finally persuaded by Wu Jing and decided to continue to help Yuan Shu attack Han Yi. In particular, first of all, he helped Yu She's army to capture Yingchuan Yangzhai City, which had been trapped for a long time. Then use Yingchuan's troops, grain and grass to reinforce Sanguan, and strive to trap Han Yi's army.
Tian Brown has been trapped in Yangzhai City for two months, and Yangzhai is the relay point of Han Yi's army, and there is no shortage of grain and grass. But after two months of attrition, there was a great shortage of troops. If it weren't for the intervention of Yuan Shao's people a month ago, Yuan Shu would have gone north in anger. Otherwise, Yang Zhai City would have been captured long ago.
At this time, only half of the original 5,000 auxiliary troops remained, although thousands of Yangzhai people were temporarily recruited to defend the city. But Han Yi's prestige in Yingchuan was not high, and the Yangzhai people were powerless to defend the city, and the city was narrowly broken several times. Fortunately, the Yangzhai people heard the description of the captives outside the city, saying that Yuan Shu forcibly recruited the people to join forces in Yingchuan County, forcibly seized the people's food to fill the army, and forcibly took the people's wives as prostitutes.
And Han Yi's army, which has never committed any crimes with Minqiu in the past, can almost be regarded as a saint. Only then did the people of Yingchuan know who was the real good person and who should support the ruler of Yingchuan. Later, the Yangzhai people seriously helped Tian Palm to defend the city, so Tian Brown guarded it for nearly a month.
Recently, Tian Brown found that the Yuanshu siege army, which was originally becoming more and more sluggish, suddenly became strong again, and attacked the city several times. Hand-to-hand combat with it is also very difficult to beat. In the end, it was discovered that it was Sun Jian's troops who joined the siege battle.
Tian Brown was both shocked and angry, and the horror was because the army of the Jiangdong Tigers was really brave and good at fighting. What was angry was that Sun Jian a few months ago was still commensurate with the lord as a brother, and he drank and talked happily in Yang Zhai, but in an instant, he helped Yuan Shu to take Yang Zhai City.
Tian Brown couldn't, so he had to summon Yang Zhai people to the city to defend the city. Yangzhai County was originally a large county with 30,000 households, and there were nearly 10,000 households in the city alone, plus 2 or 3,000 households who had taken refuge in the city before the war, it was enough to recruit more than 10,000 people to defend the city. Half of them have been called up, and then the other half is called.
The people of Yangzhai City were afraid of Yuan's evil government, and they were not afraid of Tian Brown's recruitment, because the harsh government was fiercer than a tiger. Yuan Shu persecuted the county by 20,000 or 30,000 households in just two months in Yingchuan, and the population of more than 100,000 people was reduced, and many families were almost ruined. In order to protect themselves, the people of Yangzhai City can only resist ruthlessly.
It's just that one family ignored Tian Palm's conscription order, but Tian Brown didn't dare to force him to be recruited. Because that person was originally a native of Nanyang Nieyang, surnamed Zhang Bozu, and was a well-known doctor in Jingyu.
Zhang Bozu was deeply disgusted by Yuan Shu because of Yuan Shu's bad government after Zhang Zhi became Nanyang Taishou, and because of the thieves in Jingzhou at that time, the situation was uneasy, so he deliberately avoided going to Xuzhou, which was relatively stable. However, due to the rapid attack of Yuan Shu's army, he was stranded in Yangzhai and could not make the trip.
In the two months of Yangzhai, Zhang Bozu provided free medical treatment for the defenders and the people, and saved the dead and helped many people who were healed, and won the admiration of the people and the defenders of Yangzhai, so even the city general Tian Brown did not dare to be disrespectful.
After Zhang Bozu heard Tian Brown's conscription order, he couldn't help but sigh and said to one person: "I thought that after the new Jingzhou assassin Liu Jingsheng defeated Yuan, the Yuan army outside the city should also retreat, and we can also return to the village." I don't want the Yuan army outside the city to have reinforcements again, Han Sheng, why don't you go and help the city generals, and Axu will be taken care of by me. ”
It turned out that this person was an officer of the former Nanyang Army, surnamed Huang Mingzhong and Hansheng, and once served as the military Sima of the Nanyang Army. Because Zhang Zhi was killed for no reason, the generals of Yuan Shu's first army wantonly fought for power and were forced to resign from the post of military commander.
And because his son Axu was less infected with wind and cold, he was weak and sick for many years, and was mostly treated by the famous doctor Zhang Bozu. Zhang Bozu wanted to go to Xuzhou, and Huang Zhong's family naturally followed. Now that Zhang Bozu intends to defeat Yuan's army and return to Jingzhou, Huang Zhong naturally did not shirk and immediately went to find the city to send Tian Brown.
Tian Brown heard that there was Sima Huang Zhong of the former Nanyang Army, and he came to help on the order of Zhang Bozu, and was immediately overjoyed. After trying out Huang Zhong's martial arts, he was immediately full of confidence, but with this person, Yang Zhai Ke'an was also. He was immediately appointed as an adjutant general to defend the most intense part of the siege.
Huang Zhong is good at making bows and arrows, and there is no false hair. When the rest of Sun Jian's army was attacking the city, Huang Zhongsi and Zhang Shi were killed, and Nanyang was also in turmoil, and he was forced to leave his post because of it. In half a day, thousands of arrows were shot, and the arrows killed them. Sun Jian's remnants suffered heavy casualties, and they could not reach the city at all, and even Han Dang and Sun He's two generals were also wounded by arrows and were unable to fight again.
Sun Jian's remnants and Yuan's army were shocked when they learned that a sharpshooter had suddenly appeared in the city, and under his leadership, the siege army had suffered more than 3,000 casualties in half a day.
The retreat of Yuan Shu's army made the guards of the three passes a little panicked in their hearts, but Yuan Shu's order was to continue to besiege Han Yi. And Yuan Shaojun, who was on the front line of Tiger Prison, Bishui, and Chenggao, also tacitly did not withdraw the guards, and also firmly occupied the pass, not letting Han Yijun leave. Dong Zhuojun also arranged thin front fire platforms on the north banks of Hedong and Hanoi to prevent Han Yi from going north.
It seems that in the eyes of the tripartite people, Han Yi is indeed a villain who interferes with the tripartite struggle for domination. Only Dong Zhuo's plan is very big, and he wants Han Yi and Er Yuan to completely turn their faces, so as to stop Yuan's plan to dominate the Kanto region.
Late at night, under the Dagu Pass, a person walked to the bottom of the Guancheng, raised his head and shouted to the Guanshang: "Listen to the guards on the Guan, a certain is the Runan Zhaoling people's clan, Fang Ji is also, I would like to ask you to pass on it to Zhu Yizhong for me, Fang Ji wants to surrender." ”
