Volume 1 Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 139 Pig teammates
In the afternoon, the greetings at the gate of the camp outside Guangzong City naturally alarmed the entire official and military camp. That night, the 50,000 troops in the camp knew that the Marquis of Fulong Ting, who had broken the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turban outside Changshe City, came to the aid with his cavalry, and the camp was naturally boiling.
What Guo Bin didn't expect was that he met the famous Liu Bei in history in the camp.
He originally thought that without the martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and without the financial support of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Liu Bei, the so-called imperial uncle who could only cry, might be a common man weaving mats and selling shoes for the rest of his life. But where did he think that he really relied on his own efforts to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Chaos to enter Lu Zhi's army?
The history books describe Liu Bei's ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands over his knees, his eyes can take care of his ears, his face is like a crown of jade, and his lips are like grease. Therefore, the deepest impression of modern people on Liu Bei's image is probably his extraordinary arm length and extraordinary ears. To say that people with long arm spans are not uncommon in the NBA in later generations. Barefoot New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Tyrek Evans, who is 1.93 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.11 meters. His arms were not yet above his knees, but they were almost within reach.
And Liu Bei in front of him is a typical good face. The shoulders are not really two ears hanging down to the shoulders like rags, but the earlobes are broad, as if they are about to hang down to the shoulders. When he says that "his eyes can take care of his ears", he does not mean that his ears are like scarves and can be seen when his eyelids are lowered, but that his eyes are slender and seem to be able to see the ears. If the lips are greased, it means that the lips are thick and shiny, as if they have been greased. These ears, eyes, and mouths are the appearance of great wealth and nobility in physiognomy.
After Lu Zhi's introduction, Guo Binfang knew that the person in front of him was Liu Bei, and after listening to his explanation, he knew what was going on. But it turned out that the imperial court summoned righteous people from all over the country to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army and sent it down to Zhuo County, Liu Bei read the list text, sighed in his heart, went home and thought about it all night, and felt that the man should be determined to serve the country, so he gathered nearly 100 heroes and went to join the army. Because of the high martial arts of these nearly 100 people, they have made several great achievements. Later, when the incident in Youzhou happened, Liu Bei heard that Lu Zhi, the master of the army, confronted the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong, and Fang led the army to help.
Guo Bin listened, and sighed in his heart, it was gold that couldn't hide its light anywhere, seeing that Liu Bei had no money and no power, but he was still able to gather nearly a hundred heroes to join the army, which shows that he is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. So he was very active in accepting Liu Bei. Liu Bei has also admired Guo Bin for a long time, and coupled with Lu Zhi's relationship, the two are even closer.
Although Guo Bin knew that Lu Zhi had an extremely stubborn temper, he had to ask about the inspection of the DPRK and China. Knowing that Huangmen Zuofeng asked for bribes to no avail, Guo Bin was speechless: Sure enough, it was still too late.
Although it was hard to say anything, Guo Bin still reminded Lu Zhi to be careful of villain slander. Since ancient times, the generals have led the troops outside, and the most feared thing is that the court and the central government will not be appeased, and Lu Zhi's generation of Confucianism naturally knows a lot about these. But he is so stubborn and almost stubborn, and he has always had a bad impression of eunuchs, although he is not a member of the party, he is extremely respectful of his integrity, and he is a scholar class, so he naturally has no good impression of the eunuchs who stand in front of the stage and persecute scholars.
Therefore, Lu Zhi knew that Zuo Feng would slander the Son of Heaven this time, but he still didn't take it to heart. Because if you are in danger today, there is smoke everywhere, if on weekdays, the Son of Heaven listens to the slander of the eunuchs, it is understandable, after all, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the people of the world pay attention to the mood of life, so antiques, jade, wine, and even poetry and songs and other highly entertaining luxury goods consumption is extremely popular. And the handsome generals who can lead the troops to fight are not very popular.
But now that the Han world is in danger, the Son of Heaven is shocked three times overnight, how can he still listen to the slander of the eunuchs? There are 90,000 people in the world's three-way army, 50,000 of which are in the hands of Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi at this time is really a high power. In another month, the food in the city will inevitably run out, and at that time, there will be a steady supply of military rations for the officers and soldiers, and the total annihilation of the Yellow Turban Army will be an inevitable outcome. If he returns to the court with a great victory, I am afraid that the general He Jin will retreat. So where would he put a little yellow door in his eyes?
However, Guo Bin can only say that Lu Zhi is a good military strategist and a great master of Confucianism, but he is not a good politician. The basic principle of a good politician's behavior is: "unite the majority, fight against the minority". The vast majority of people in high positions are by no means straight-faced every day, they will do everything they can to gain favor among the public, and they will never let their emotions offend anyone needlessly. And when you can help people with a little effort, you will definitely not give up the opportunity to win people's favor.
And Zuo Feng, as the messenger of the Son of Heaven, came to the army this time to patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky, and if he did not respect him, he would not respect the Son of Heaven. If it was really in the first month of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Hong might not have counted the little courtesy compared to Lu Zhi, because at that time, the smoke was everywhere, and the Yellow Turban Army destroyed the city and county, and everything that passed was expected to fall in the wind, and the momentum was extremely huge. The Son of Heaven urgently needs talents who can lead troops to fight and defend the world for him. Therefore, Guo Bin took the opportunity to write a letter requesting the removal of the party ban, and he would quickly get the approval of the Son of Heaven.
Today, however, the situation is different.
Lu Zhi fought with Zhang Jiao's headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army in the early days, and won successive battles, and the official army was greatly invigorated; Later, the Southern Route Army also received the good news of a great victory, and the 200,000-strong army was defeated by the official army overnight. Therefore, in Liu Hong's heart, there was an illusion that the Yellow Turban Army was vulnerable, as if the Yellow Turban Army's original momentum was just because the court was caught off guard. Now that the officers and troops have relieved, the Yellow Turban Army is naturally losing and retreating, and it is no opponent at all. Therefore, the status of the three lieutenant generals of the North and South Route Armies is not so important, and their merits do not seem to be as great as imagined.
I'm afraid that now in Liu Hong's heart, as long as the officers and soldiers go out, regardless of who the main general is, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be captured. Because the low-level mistakes made by the Yellow Turbans in the early days of the incident were so many that they were ridiculously low. Not to mention the pine of the army managed by the Bocai Department outside the city of Changshe, just saying that the 150,000 golden elite of the so-called great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao was forced into Guangzong City by Lu Zhi with 50,000 officers and troops, it can be seen that there are really few talents in the Yellow Turban Army who know how to use soldiers.
There is a cloud in the art of war: "The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and twice it is to fight." It is said that to besiege the city, it needs ten times the enemy's strength to be successful. But now the Yellow Turban Army was trapped in the small Guangzong City by one-third of its own troops, which shows that the Yellow Turban Army was indeed frightened at the beginning, and they didn't care about anything else, and they entered the fortified city one after another to avoid the battle.
If the Yellow Turban Army only entered the city of Guangzong with 50,000 people, and the remaining 100,000 people were divided into two parts, which were respectively camped according to the city and turned into horns for each other, then the officers and troops could only treat each other separately, and there would never be an embarrassing situation of surrounding more with less, and it would be impossible for the officers and troops to completely cut off the grain route of the Yellow Turban Army.
If that is the situation, the Yellow Turban Army only needs to repair the entire ten days and a half months, and after the morale is restored, it can fight the official army again, and there will be no dilemma that the official army has surrounded Guangzong City and the 150,000 Yellow Turban Army is trapped in the isolated city. Under such circumstances, the Yellow Turbans knew that food was limited in the city, and their morale was only decreasing day by day. Even if there is really food in the city to supply the army for ten years, it can't stop the despair of being trapped in a lonely city. You know, they are anti-thieves, and the world is still surnamed Liu! They are the main force of the Yellow Turbans, and no one will come to their aid!
This fear of being in a desperate situation only weakens the morale of the army day by day, making the Yellow Turbans more and more vulnerable. Therefore, it can be said that Lu Zhi's tactics so far are extremely reasonable, and they are also the safest way to completely eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. However, no matter how shrewd and capable the old driver is, he can't resist the "good teammates" who are dead. At the moment when victory is in sight, there are always people who are not so sober-minded, and I am afraid that Liu Hong is a teammate who is not very sober-minded.
Therefore, on the second day after Guo Bin came to the front line of Guangzong, the holy decree of the DPRK and China to depose Lu Zhi arrived in the army.
Listening to Huangmen read the holy decree, Lu Zhi was so angry that his hands trembled, and Guo Bin was even more angry. With just a wave of their hands, Guan Zhang and the others led a group of guards holding big shields to surround everyone at the core, startling Liu Bei on the side. Liu Bei stepped forward and grabbed Guo Bin and said, "Brother Xian, why is this?" ”
Guo Bin said: "Brother Xuande doesn't need to panic. Then he turned his head to the little yellow door that read out the will, and said, "But the yellow gate Zuo Feng has slandered the Son of Heaven?" ”
Fifty guards in iron armor and steel shields made this place impassable, and they were all murderous, apparently with many lives under them. Xiao Huangmen, who came to deliver the message, has been in Beijing for a long time, where has he seen this formation? has long been frightened to the face of the earth, and the arrogance of the self-contained angel when he does not come back. He also heard of Guo Bin's murderous name, and when he was in Changshe, he dared to lead 700 people to break into the camp of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, and after the war, he dared to surround Zhu Jun's handsome tent with Youzhonglang, which shows that he is an unruly and bold lord.
At that moment, he had to stammer: "Return, go back to Fulong Tinghou, villain, villain is just the Yellow Gate of the decree, where do you know so clearly about the major events in the court." ”
At this time, Lu Zhi also came back to his senses and said, "Okay, Qianyang, don't embarrass him too much." Whether I am guilty or not, the court has its own opinion, where is your turn to be like this? ”
Guo Bin was still angry, and said: "Don't just forget it, when I lead the army into Beijing, I will behead that Zuo Feng child, in order to comfort the souls of the soldiers of the dead country in the sky!" ”
Lu Zhi shouted: "Qianyang, Hugh is talking nonsense!" The major events of the court are not the same as child's play! I'm going to Beijing this time, forgive me for nothing, you can just concentrate on the bandits, and don't act recklessly! ”
Seeing that Lu Zhi was angry, Guo Bin had no choice but to say yes. Then he turned to the little yellow door and said, "Did the holy decree say when you will leave?" ”
Where does Xiao Huangmen dare to urge? I had to reluctantly say: "No, I haven't said it." ”
Guo Bin nodded and said, "Well, you can step back first." In a few days, the new commander of the army will arrive at the camp, and I will go with you into Beijing. ”
Xiao Huangmen has a hard time, but the situation is stronger than people, where does he dare to reply? I had to scold Zuo Feng in my heart, and I said yes. Lu Zhi was also worried about the war, so he did not oppose Guo Bin's proposal, but never entered the commander's tent again.
Seeing that the situation had eased for a few days, Guo Bin immediately wrote a letter to Guan Yu and ordered Guan Yu to lead his men to Yingchuan and hand it over to Huangfu Song, while he planned to escort Lu Zhi all the way into Beijing.
Until this time, Guo Binfang deeply felt that the wheel of history was heavy and irresistible. He worked so hard and jumped up and down for nearly a year, and he originally felt that he had put the headquarters of Taiping Road in Beijing to the end, which showed that history is not unchangeable. However, until this time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change Lu Zhi's fate, and Fang Wanran realized that his strength was still too weak.
