Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 41 The First Meeting of the Two Heroes

I issued an aggressive invitation to the Yellow Turban soldiers to fight, and the former Zhang Niujiao attendants around me were also encouraged by my fighting spirit and shouted: "Fight."

Guan Yu quickly pulled out the long knife, and then shouted at the end of my words: "Hold on and don't retreat." ”

The army then roared: "Hold on and not retreat." ”

"Fire", seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was approaching, I wasted no time in giving the order, and then waved my raised arm downward.

At my command, hundreds of arrows flew off the bowstring with a "buzz", like a god of death released from hell, covering the sky and the sun, and frantically harvesting life with its vicious scythe.

The Yellow Turban soldier who was hit seemed to be hit by a thousand-pound boulder, and the torrent of attack suddenly stopped. These Yellow Turban soldiers who had no command all rushed towards our army with a desperate momentum, and now, calm down, looking at the swords and guns in front of our army's formation, the murderous aura condensed under the full iron armor, and the beast-like gaze flashing in the armor, the Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly fell into a state of confusion.

My long knife was raised again, and the halberd pointed forward to give the order: "Cover shooting, five rounds of rapid fire." Archers, wind. ”

Receiving this sudden and violent blow, the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of the formation seemed to be frightened birds, and with a bang, they turned around and fled.

After the battle, Zhang Fei's thunderous roar sounded: "Why don't you chase yet?" Why don't you give the order yet? Big brother, don't sleep, give the order to pursue! ”

When Guan Yu heard this roar, he looked at me worriedly, afraid that I would be angry and punish Zhang Fei, I raised my eyes to look at Guan Yu, and exclaimed: "The fierceness of Yide is really unparalleled in the world, and when you treat the tiger, you must always let him be hungry, if you let him be full, I am afraid that he will be lazy all day long." Well, let him call it, Yun Chang, and we'll keep an eye on the enemy. ”

Guan Yu saw me talking about Zhang Fei with a look of affection, and immediately smiled happily. I then raised my clairvoyance and calmly observed the movements of the Yellow Turbans. Behind him, Zhang Fei was still thundering.

On the battlefield, there was a strange scene at this time, 2,000 of us formed a formation in a car, standing in the center of the battlefield with murderous spirit, holding on to the ground, like a rock. The rolling yellow turban flow seemed to come from the flood and went around the rock. Occasionally, a few daring thieves approached our formation, and they were quickly cut to the ground.

The water flowed, the stone did not move, this scene lasted for a while, and suddenly, as if a sponge appeared, the flowing water was quickly sucked away, and the Yellow Turban Army gradually fled in a unified direction. In the distance, a yellow silk banner appeared in the distance.

It can be seen that this yellow silk flag has been carefully made, the corner of the flag is rolled with tassels, and the center of the flag is embroidered with a few big characters, which is too far away, even through the telescope, it is vague to see the words on the flag.

"Archers, prepare 10 rounds of rapid fire, suppress the shooting, notify the cavalry behind the formation, wait for the order to sound, go straight to the flag, capture the enemy alive, kill the small attack, and let go of the guilty." I gave the order in one go.

He put down his binoculars and prayed secretly in his heart: "Yellow Turban Leader, show some courage and come at me." ”

If there is hope, there will be disappointment, the leader of the Yellow Turban began to reorganize the soldiers from afar, and had no intention of advancing, looking at this situation, he seemed to be trying to bypass our army and find another way.

A flash of thought flashed in my mind, and I came up with several strategies, but they were all weak and too passive.

"Yun Chang, do you have a clever plan to lure the enemy army over?" I asked tentatively, still racking my brain.

When Guan Yu heard this, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Yellow Turban child, do you know Liu Guanzhang in Qingzhou?" ”

What are you doing? How did Guan Yu become Zhang Fei, Qingzhou Liu Guan Zhang, what do you mean?

Oh, I understand, the so-called Qingzhou Liu Guanzhang means that the official official position of the three of us brothers is in Qingzhou, alas, Yun Chang also has this kind of official-oriented thinking. Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that I still haven't appointed official titles to most of my subordinates, although Chen Qun, Guo Yuan and others continue to become county guards, but others can't do without official titles. It seems that this thing will have to be done when we go back.

Guan Yu continued to scold defiantly: "Yellow Turban child, dare to attack me, come, I'm waiting for you here." With Guan Yu's shouting and scolding, the soldiers and horses of his headquarters also spoke out to greet each other's mothers, and for a while, laughter and scolding rang out.

Is that okay too? It seems that I underestimated the bloody nature of our nation in the Three Kingdoms era, and in the midst of shouting and scolding, the other party's military flag slowly moved, coming, then come.

"Prepare for the archers" I raised my sword, and the archers immediately stopped shouting and began to prepare their bows.

Losing the voices of hundreds of archers, the shouting and scolding suddenly weakened, and the opposing camp immediately burst into laughter. Under the cover of the brawlers in front, the opponent could not see the movements of the archers, and the sudden weak shouting and scolding was considered to be due to timidity, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was immediately greatly boosted.

The other party's military flag gradually approached, and I carefully identified it, and the yellow flag was embroidered with "Digong General Zhang". The former Yellow Turban soldiers around them were excited for a while, and then stabilized. I watched them worriedly, and finally let out a long breath. It seems that these Yellow Turban Dead soldiers finally chose loyalty, but they probably won't be needed in this battle.

Looking up at the incoming army, haha, I caught a big fish. General Digong, isn't it Zhang Liang? If I take this person, this trip to Yingchuan will not be in vain.

"All the Army, Singing", it is May, and when the summer sun is under the battle for a long time, I need to unify the actions of the soldiers and lift their spirits.

The scolding was abrupt, and after a slight pause, the soldiers sang a humorous Qin Shi ballad with a smile."

Qin Shi Huang. He Qiangliang.

Open my door. Take up my bed.

Drink my wine. Spit in my face.

Eat me. Thought it was food.

Stretch my bow. Shoot the east wall.

Before to the sand dunes when perished. ”

The soldiers smiled and watched happily as the Yellow Turbans approached, chanting the last phrase "Destroy the Dunes Forward".

When these two thousand small troops saw the approach of tens of thousands of troops around them, not only did they not panic, but they sang mountain songs with a smile, which made Zhang Liang puzzled. Before he could give the order to stop the attack, the trumpets sounded and the singing stopped.

After an embarrassing silence, military orders came and went - "First row, squat, erect guns", "Second row, lean up, erect guns", "Swordsmen, draw swords, mountain formations"......

After the battle, Zhang Fei roared hoarsely: "What kind of bird place is this, big brother, I want to go to the front, &#¥%*......"

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to calm down, Guan Yu shouted again: "Zhang Liang Xiao'er, are you afraid?" Come on, hit me! ”

As Guan Yu's words landed, Zhang Liang immediately fell into a state of rage: "A small army of thousands of people, how dare you be so arrogant, watch my army drown you." ”

With a shout, the Yellow Turban soldiers began their clumsy attack.

Facts have proved that this attack is really stupid, the soldiers without armor protection, after the baptism of our arrows, difficult to approach our army's position, and then by our army's pikemen, two rows of archers immediately stepped forward, shooting the approaching Yellow Turban soldiers, and the other three rows of archers, in a three-stage shot, suppressed the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

It's time, I immediately ordered: "Yun Chang, order your soldiers to advance, the target is Zhang Liang, and there is no victory." Well, it's time for us to release the Hungry Tigers, blow the bugles, and order the cavalry to attack from the flanks. ”

Guan Yu happily accepted the order, took the lead, and shouted loudly: "Headquarters soldiers and horses, keep in formation, attack forward." The soldier shouted, "Huh."

Guan Yu slapped his horse and rushed to the front of the formation, brandishing the Glaive Sword and roaring: "There is no advance or retreat." ”

The 500 soldiers let out an urn sound from their visors, and the bloodthirsty roar of the urn breath: "There is no advance or retreat." "Then, break away from our home and fight to the front.

After the battle, Zhang Fei's loud voice let out a series of happy shouts: "Cavalry, attack." The thunderous hoofs sounded, as if 10,000 iron balls were rolling over the iron plate, and in the rumbling sound, Zhang Fei's huge voice shouted all the way and pounced on the opponent's military flag.

This is a battle without suspense, with Zhang Fei's fierceness and Izumo Warhorse's sprinting ability, that Zhang Butcher stabbed Zhang Liang like a black lightning bolt. The black horse is still 3 months old to become an adult, and now it weighs more than a ton, no one can resist the impact of a ton of heavy objects, and neither can the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhang Fei only cares about the impact all the way, and everywhere he goes, people turn on their backs, and occasionally, he also shows his bad hobby, and picks three or two people into the air with snake spears.

However, no one could delay his advance, almost in the blink of an eye, Zhang Fei had rushed to Zhang Liang's front with a single gun, the spear rose, the spear fell, Zhang Liang turned over and fell off the horse.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and then the battlefield resounded with the roar of a landslide. The screams of our soldiers were of joy, and the shouts of the Yellow Turban soldiers were not so much of astonishment as of the mournful screams of desperate beasts.

Immediately, the cavalry led by Zhang Fei pounced into the enemy formation and gave the Yellow Turban Army the final blow. Dazed, desperate, and sad, the Yellow Turban Army threw down their weapons and sat helplessly on the battlefield, hugging their heads and crying. It's over, what to say about changing the dynasty, what to say about glorifying the ancestors, all this is like wind and snow in an instant, and there is no trace of Chun's dream......

Beside them, although the former Zhang Niujiao attendants did not participate in the battle, they all burst into tears, and some people couldn't help but whimper, the sect leader in their minds, the younger brother of the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, fell on the battlefield in front of them, what else could make them more desperate, the ideals of the past, the ambitions of the past, just went with the wind, and now, I am their only faith and pillar.

After the outbreak was silent, on the battlefield, countless Yellow Turban soldiers threw down their swords and guns, silently waiting for the slaughter, Guan Yu Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to drive away these stunned soldiers, this battle, the Yellow Turban surrendered more than 30,000.

As soon as we finished the battle, in the distance, another military flag appeared in the field of vision, and the fast-moving soldiers quickly slaughtered the unresisting soldiers, and after a while, came to us.

I stopped Zhang Fei's attack, rode to the front of the formation, and waited with some anticipation for the other party's arrival.

There are a few big characters fluttering on the big flag, "Riding Captain, Cao". Ah, it's Cao Cao, the first person of the Three Kingdoms, who has been in the Three Kingdoms era for so long, and I am finally going to see this generation of heroes from the past and the present.

Cao Cao, the word Mengde, is a native of Peiguo County. Cao Song, his father, whose surname is Xiahou, is the adopted son of Cao Teng, so his surname is Cao. Runan Xu Shao, has the name of a knowledgeable person. When I saw him, I asked, "How am I like a human being?" "Shao didn't answer. asked again, Shao said: "The son is a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times." "I was overjoyed to hear that.

Cao Cao was twenty years old, filial piety and honesty, for Lang, except for the northern lieutenant of Luoyang. When he first arrived, he set up more than ten five-color sticks in the four gates of the county, and those who violated the ban did not avoid the nobles, and they were all responsible. The uncle of the middle and long servants, carrying a knife at night, and holding it at night, will be blamed. Therefore, those who dare not offend inside and outside are quite famous. Later, for the Dunqiu Order, because of the Yellow Turban, worship as the cavalry captain, lead the horse infantry army of 5,000, and come to Yingchuan to help the war.

In an instant, the account of Cao Cao in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms came to my mind. Over the years, I have loved the game of the Three Kingdoms, and I have gone through the history of the Three Kingdoms, and if you want to talk about reform ideas, Cao Cao can be said to be the first person in the Three Kingdoms.

He abandoned the Confucian principle of governing the army with courtesy, believed that "etiquette cannot govern the army", emphasized that "it is also true that I uphold the law in the army", and paid attention to the rule of law in the army.

He soberly realized that military struggle could not be separated from the coordination of the political situation. It takes enough armed forces to save society. He stressed that "soldiers move with righteousness" and "show the situation in the world and punish the disobedient with obedience."

In order to win the political initiative in the war, he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and raised volunteers to eliminate the rebellion and protect the Han family; In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, after the occupation of Hebei, the refugees were exempted from rent, and the annexation order was issued to suppress the strong and strong, so that "the people are attached to each other, and the soldiers are strong". The famous strategist Guo Jia praised him for "being obedient to lead the world, and this righteousness wins".

He believed that the quality of the economy had a bearing on the success or failure of a war. The army has no baggage, grain, and accumulation, and "the way to death is also", so it learned from the experience of "the Qin people are eager to agriculture and the world, and filial piety and martial piety are to determine the Western Regions with tuntian", greatly revitalize tuntian, build water conservancy, and achieve the goal of strengthening the army with enough food.

He is the only one who is talented, believing that "the virtuous will lead to national security", and advocating that "the virtuous should not be restrained in virtue" and "the virtuous should not be abolished and short".

He was proficient in the art of war, and wrote books such as "A Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu" and "The Essentials of the Book of War". He said: "If you want to attack the enemy, you must first plan." He believed that the use of soldiers "should not be prayed for, nor should they be asked for things." ”

In Chinese military history, he was known for his "treachery". He believes that the premise of deceit is to know the enemy and oneself, and only by conducting a comprehensive study on the premise of grasping the other side's troop deployment, the strength of the generals, the danger of the terrain, and logistical support can we formulate a strategy of "adapting to the enemy's changes" and "following the enemy's profits."

His wisdom is far above that of the wise men of the Three Kingdoms. The eternal story of "looking at plums to quench thirst" is enough to see his resourcefulness. "Borrowing a knife to kill" is enough to see his treachery.

Zhuge Liang's production of the Lianzhu crossbow was a great innovation, but under the auspices of Cao Cao, Zheng Hun's disciple Ma Jun also made the first rockets in Chinese history. This initiative is also unprecedented, and its impact is far-reaching than that of the Lianzhu crossbow.

According to historical records, Emperor Wei Ming sent the general Taiyuan Hao Zhao to build Chencang City. Chen Cangcheng Chengcheng, Zhuge Liang Wai ...... Liang attacked Hao Zhao with tens of thousands of people, and forced Zhao to shoot Zhao with ladders, rushing cars, and tunnels. ”

The war took place in 223 AD. According to the records of "Zizhi Tongjian", it is China's first batch of rockets applied to the battlefield. The battle between Zhuge Liang and Hao Zhao was actually a battle between a Lianzhu crossbow and a rocket, and the result of the battle was that the rocket was better than the cold weapon.

This Zheng Hun's disciple Ma Jun was a skilled craftsman in the palace of Emperor Wei Ming. According to historical records, Ma Jun once copied the guide car, invented the irrigation dumper, transformed Zhuge Liang's repeater, designed and manufactured the centrifugal stone car, etc., and was indeed a superb weapon designer.

Cao Cao's father and son had attracted a large number of alchemists in their early years, including the alchemist Zuo Ci, etc., and Ma Jun obtained the secret recipe of Huo Yao from the alchemist to design and manufacture the "Fire Shooting Stone". Fortunately, I took the lead and abducted Zheng Hun. But so far, why hasn't this horse appeared?

Later generations said that Cao Cao was one of the 100 people who influenced China, in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao was the only one among all the princes who could write poems, and the great historical figure who could determine the country.

As a reformer who influenced the fate of the nation, I admired Cao Cao's eloquence, but I was disgusted by his cruelty, debauchery and rebellion, and in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao accounted for two, Dong Zhuo once, and Ma Chao once.

In the battle of Xuzhou, every time he was defeated, he slaughtered the city and dug up the graves; In the battle with Yuan Shaoguandu, after the victory, all the surrendered troops were killed. Also, when he made his fortune, he used cruel means to force 300,000 yellow scarves in Qingzhou, and more than 100,000 men and women.

It is undeniable that Cao Cao does have great talents, but what has made him famous is the blood and lives of countless people, "I would rather let me bear the world, not let the world bear me", thinking of Cao Cao sitting on the dry bones of millions of people and saying this famous sentence, my backbone was bursting with chills.

Historically, when Liu Bei was acting as Xinye, the soldiers and civilians heard that Cao Cao was coming, and they were all willing to follow the lord Liu Bei, on the one hand, Cao Cao's brutality frightened the people of Xinye. On the other hand, Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness towards the people also made the people willing to follow.

When later generations talk about this, they often say that Liu Bei is hypocritical and abducts the people to follow. However, if more than 100,000 people can be brought together and willing to follow, then should there be more such leaders?

Emphasizing benevolence and righteousness is the basic morality of being a human being, especially being a great man, and it is necessary to achieve great deeds with benevolence and righteousness.

Thinking of this, I watched Cao Cao's team approach with mixed feelings.

came, in the middle of the team, a short and stout man with a length of seven feet, thin eyes and long hair, and a glittering light between the opening and closing of his eyes, riding a red horse and wearing a pair of golden chain mail, rushed to the front of the team. Under the sun, this man was bathed in dazzling golden light, as if he was the son of the sun.

Looking at this person's extraordinary momentum, it must be the ancient and modern hero, the cavalry captain Cao Cao. Well, I heard that Kong Yi gave Cao Cao a pair of unicorn armor, this kind of continuous head armor is the main feature of the unicorn armor, and the gold armor he wears must be Kong Yi to please it and gilt it for him.

I patted my horse and walked to the front of the formation, shouting: "It's the cavalry captain Cao General Meng De, after King Jing of Zhongshan, Qingzhou don't drive Liu Bei Liu Xuande to visit here." ”

A burst of laughter came, and the Son of the Sun moved in front of me and said, "Are you Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County?" I've been known for a long time. ”

Riding the captain, belonging to Guangluxun, the rank is more than 2,000 stones, and he is in charge of the Yulin ride. In terms of official position, Cao Cao's official position at this time was slightly higher than that of Qingzhou. He is proud of his family, and now he has not yet reached the time of hard work, and he does not need to be courteous to others, and the official spirit of this wealthy family is naturally revealed, but there is a kind of majesty.

I jumped off the horse and gave him a deep salute: "It is Liu Bei, a savage from Zhuo County, who is currently listening to orders under my master Lu Zhimen. On the order of my master, I came to Yingchuan to make an appointment with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to suppress the bandits. I am fortunate to meet Brother Meng De today, I have heard that Brother Meng De governs Jinan and leads Luoyang Wei, and his rule is rigorous and lawful, and I hope that Brother Meng De will teach me today. ”

Cao Cao looked around the battlefield and burst out laughing: "Brother Xuande is really heroic, at this moment the fierce battle is in full swing, Xuande Gong's whole army is standing on the battlefield, but he asked Cao someone about the art of governance, so Feng Liu characters are rare in ancient and modern times, come and come, let me and Xuande Gong talk about it here, and also achieve a good story in ancient and modern times." ”

Seeing me so respectfully asked, Cao Cao immediately showed his true heroic qualities, jumped off his horse with a long smile, took my hand, and walked and talked in this chaotic sea of blood, in a miserable cry and wail, on the corpses and stumps everywhere.

At this time, the Yellow Turbans are like ripe wheat, waiting for the farmers to harvest, and we, the farmers who reap the fruits of victory, so why bother with them.

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, reached a consensus, and walked hand in hand on this bloody battlefield.

This moment, which has a long history, is called the "Double Heroes Society" by later generations. At that time, the two northern giants met in public for the first and only two times.

In the pictures depicted by countless descendants, the same technique is invariably adopted - Cao Cao is dressed in gold armor, standing dazzlingly in the sun. I was dressed in black armor made of manganese steel, standing in a dark shadow, as if swallowing all the light, becoming an infinite depth.

However, in the territory of the two of us, the protagonists of the picture are different. Under Cao Cao, Cao Cao stood in front of me and pointed out the country, while I stood in the shadows, listening to the lesson.

Under my rule, at first, Cao Cao was just my henchman on the screen, smiling flatteringly behind me. After my correction, Cao Cao became a figure standing side by side with me, but the flattering smile on his face remained unchanged.

Eventually, in my rage, Cao Cao on the screen removed his flattering smile and turned into a high-spirited expression. This truth is also recognized: "To respect one's own enemy is to respect oneself, and to belittle one's opponent and show that one's own opponent is fighting against an unworthy opponent only shows one's own incompetence." ”

After that, Cao Cao heard about my approach and began to correct things that should not be on the screen. In this way, later generations recognized: we are indeed destined opponents, we are all exploring ways to change the fate of the nation, maybe we have different methods, but with Cao Cao, the opponent, it is really Liu Bei's luck in his life.

Because of this conversation, Liu Bei had a deeper understanding of the world at that time. Because of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the rival strongmen, the two scrambled to think and implement policies that benefited the people, and the people had peace and happiness in the troubled times.

Being an enemy of Cao Cao is really the happiness of Liu Bei's life. It is only by fighting a worthy opponent that the fruits of victory appear so luscious.
