Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 80 Wudang Flying Army
"The last general's armor?" Guan Suo was stunned for a moment. [ ] Then he replied, "Your Majesty, this armor belongs to my father. This armor is relatively large, and the two brothers are not suitable for it, so my father gave it to me. ”
"Is it the second uncle's?" Adou nodded, Guan Yu, as a general, has accumulated a lot of family wealth over the years, and Guan Yu also has a lot of divine weapons and armor in his mansion. However, because of the height of nine feet and the tall and burly figure, Guan Yu can't wear the general armor at all, and Guan Ping and Guan Xing are cheaper here, compared to Guan Yu, the two of them are shorter.
And Guan Suo is quite similar to Guan Yu, he is also nine feet tall, so basically Guan Yu can wear the equipment that Guan Yu wears.
"Your Majesty, I heard my father say that this was given to my father by Cao Cao when he was in Xudu. This armor is made of the finest iron that has been paid tribute to by the Western Regions, and it is extremely tough, leaning on a sword like the Azure Jar. I can't hurt this armor. At the beginning, Cao Cao created a total of ten sets of such armor, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the five good generals, each with a set. ”
"Oh, the five sons will each have a set, no wonder, Le Qi is the son of Le Jin, and there is such a set, so it's not surprising." Adou nodded slightly, no wonder he still failed to kill Le Qi, it turned out that he had a treasure armor to protect himself.
……
Chen Liu.
Xu Shu is concerned about Cao Zhen's movements all the time.
So far, everything is according to Xu Shu's plan, Cao Zhen is not suspicious, and on Chen Liu's side, the plan is going smoothly, and now Xu Shu is worried about whether Luoyang is ready to complete it.
"Prime Minister, the grain and grass have been transported to Xingyang."
"Well, what about the General? But are you still in Xingyang? Xu Shu asked.
"The general has already raised troops to attack Luoyang."
"Yes, I see." Xu Shu nodded: "You go down first......"
……
Luoyang.
Cao Zhen looked coldly at the banner of the Han army on the city wall, and his lips were slightly upturned.
Thinking of being played by Wang Ping in an empty city as a monkey, Cao Zhen was furious. For Cao Zhen, this is simply more humiliating than defeat.
"Look, General, what is that?" Chen Tai has been in the city tower, only to see a big flag slowly rising.
"This, this is ...... This is the banner of Emperor Luan! Don't. Then Liu Jiazi is also in Luoyang? Cao Zhen had an incredible expression on his face.
Before, Cao Zhen had also sent a lot of spy scouts to Luoyang to investigate, and Tanma did not have any news about Adou, so Cao Zhen always thought that it was Wei Yan who was in charge of Luoyang.
But now it seems that things are not like this at all, and the big flag that has just fluttered tells Cao Zhen that Adou is really in Luoyang City.
Things have completely exceeded Cao Zhen's expectations.
"General, I didn't expect Liu Chan to be in Luoyang City, in this case, we will definitely break Luoyang and capture Liu Chan!"
"It's not easy to talk about...... Cao Zhen shook his head slightly: "What you think is too simple, since Liu Chan is in the city, the Han army will inevitably defend desperately, and Chang'an will not sit idly by and watch their emperor be in danger, presumably a large number of reinforcements will arrive soon." ”
"General, if the reinforcements of the Han army come, they will inevitably go out of Tongguan and come to Luoyang through Hongnong, and Hongnong has a vast area. There is no danger to defend, and when the Han army leaves Tongguan, we will know immediately. In the end, we can first surround Luoyang, not attack, and then go all out to deal with the reinforcements of the Han army. Their emperor is in Luoyang City, so Zhuge Liang Pang Tong will definitely send people to rescue, as long as we can eat the Han army reinforcements, great things can be done! Chen Tai said.
"Well, it's a good idea to surround the point and send reinforcements...... Cao Zhen took a breath lightly: "But I always feel that this thing is a little weird, then the Liu family comes to Luoyang, there must be a conspiracy." ”
"General, you also think too highly of that Liu Chan, he is just a young man in his early twenties, what can he do?"
"Uncle Xuan, don't underestimate that Liu Chan, this Liu Chan is brave, needless to say, when he escaped from my army single-handedly, you can see his martial arts group, as for the art of war, this Liu Chan is also very good, and he has won the true ...... of Taizu."
"Huh? General, what do you say? Taizu ...... True biography? ”
"You heard it right, it's the true biography of Taizu." Cao Zhen sighed as he spoke, and then said, "This is a secret of my Cao family, Chaozhong. Not many people know about it. Have you ever heard of Mende's New Book? ”
Chen Tai nodded: "I have heard, this "New Book of Mengde" was written by Taizu in imitation of the thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War, but the last general remembered that Taizu was not satisfied with this book, so it was not handed down, but it was burned by fire.
"Yes, but before that, there were a few people who had studied this "New Book of Mengde", one was the first emperor, the second was Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, the third was Cao Zhi, the king of Chenliu, and the fourth was Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han!"
"Why? This...... What the hell is going on? In addition to surprise, Chen Tai's eyes were more incredible.
"Here's the thing......" Cao Zhen told what happened back then, Cao Zhen is Cao Cao's righteous son, who has followed Cao Cao since he was a child, and naturally knows everything about the things of that year.
"There is such a thing!" After Chen Tai listened, he couldn't help sighing, why Cao Cao did this, Chen Tai didn't know, but Chen Tai estimated that this was probably involving the grievances of the previous generation.
……
In the city of Luoyang, the imperial palace.
Horses were not allowed in the palace, so Wei Yan and Wang Ping dismounted in front of the palace gate. Then he trotted in.
Zhang Wei saw Wei Yan and Wang Ping running from a distance, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Boqi, is Your Majesty here?"
"Your Majesty is inside, I'll take the explanation in and face the saint right away." Zhang Wei said and lured Wei Yan in.
In the study, Adou heard the footsteps of Wei Yan and Wang Ping from afar.
"It's Wei Yan and Wang Ping, come in." Adou continued to look at the fold in his hand, did not look up, but asked casually, "How is it, what is the new movement of Cao Zhen?" ”
"Your Majesty, that Cao Zhen did not attack. Even the siege weapons were not prepared, the minister thought that Cao Zhen did not want to attack the city, if the minister expected it to be good, Cao Zhen must be the main one to send reinforcements under the siege. Wei Yan immediately spoke.
"Yes, that's a good point. Cao Zhen saw that I was in Luoyang City, so he expected Chang'an to send reinforcements, and this encirclement point was indeed the best choice. By the way, is there enough food and grass in the city? ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, there is plenty of food and grass in the city." Wei Yan replied immediately.
"Well, that's fine, the following ones are up to Zhang Ren." Adou said, looked up at Wang Ping, and then asked: "Wang Ping, in the past few years, you and Zhang Ren have trained the Wudang Flying Army together, and you have worked hard, counting it, this should be the first battle of the Wudang Flying Army!" How is it, do you have confidence in the group of Wudang Flyers you trained? ”
"The minister has confidence!" Speaking of the Wudang Flying Army, Wang Ping, who was relatively silent on weekdays, immediately said more: "Your Majesty, this Wudang Flying Army was personally selected by General Zhang Ren and his ministers, not only the Southern Barbarians under the command of Meng Shu, but also the Wuling Barbarians of the descendants of the Three Miaos. ”
The Wudang Fei Army is a unit formed after Adou's conquest of the Southern Barbarians, and its sergeants are elite soldiers selected from Meng Huo, Shamoke and the Ba people in the mountains, which is very suitable for mountain warfare. There were only 30,000 people, but they all grew up in the mountains. Mountain trail climbing is commonplace. Moreover, these soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army from the barbarian tribe are also very fond of using poison, poisonous arrows, poisonous marks, and many weapons have been soaked in poisonous water, and if they are hit by this poisonous weapon, as long as they break a little skin, they can make people lose their combat effectiveness.
After Adou selected these people, they were handed over to Zhang Ren and Wang Ping for training. When Zhang Ren was under Liu Chan, he had recruited barbarian soldiers for training, so Zhang Ren was the most experienced in training barbarian soldiers. And Wang Ping himself is from the Ba people, and he is also proficient in mountain warfare, so it is most suitable for these two people to train the flying army.
Since the establishment of the Wudang Flying Army, it has never come in handy. During the battle of Liangzhou, the Wudang Fei Army had already become an army, but in Liangzhou, a place that was more suitable for cavalry waving, so the Wudang Fei Army could only stay in Shu to continue training, and now, Adou advanced into the Central Plains, and would face a variety of complex terrain, which Wu Dang Fei Army could just come in handy.
The mountains, rivers and hills in Luoyang are staggered, really counted, within the scope of Luoyang County, the area of mountains and hills, after eighty percent, the more famous ones are Yushan, Bishan, Qingyao Mountain, Jingzi Mountain, Zhoushan, Songshan, etc., especially the west and south, which are completely surrounded by mountains and rivers, plus the Yellow River in the north, forming a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the rivers and mountains arch Dai, and the situation is the best in the world. And such terrain is most suitable for the Wudang Flying Army to intersperse operations.
……
Outside the city, Cao's army camp.
In front of Cao Zhen, there was a map of Luoyang, and his eyes were fixed on the names of the mountains marked on the map.
Adou was in Luoyang, but it made Cao Zhen feel uncomfortable, according to Cao Zhen's previous experience, as long as he met Adou, it would be no good thing!
Cao Zhen looked back and thought about it, it seems that every time Adou appears, it will be accompanied by a lot of intrigues and tricks, and now, Adou is in Luoyang City opposite, Cao Zhen has a premonition that this is by no means simple, but Cao Zhen can't figure it out, where the problem is.
Encircling the point to send reinforcements is indeed Cao Zhen's best choice now, but this idea is not necessarily very clever, Chen Tai can think that the Han army on the other side is full of talents, and Wei Yan and Wang Ping are also quite resourceful, how could they not think of it!
The Han army on the opposite side must have some surprising divine strategy, Cao Zhen thought about it, but he couldn't think of it.
Cao Zhen chose a very cautious place to camp in order to avoid water and fire, and easily obtain water sources. This water attack and fire attack will not be successful. As for what kind of divisive plan and anti-intermittent plan, Cao Zhen is not even more worried, who called Cao Zhen himself a clan!
"Chen Liu, Xingyang, Luoyang......" Cao Zhen gently used his fingers on the map, connecting these three places into a line, suddenly, Cao Zhenxian, this Luoyang is located between mountains and rivers, as if in a big pocket, and this pocket mouth is undoubtedly Xingyang, and outside the pocket mouth, is Chen Liu.
"If the road between Xingyang and Chenliu is blocked, wouldn't I be trapped between Luoyang and Xingyang, unable to advance or retreat, and become a lone army. Realizing this, Cao Zhen sweated profusely when he got on his head.
"No, it's not!" Cao Zhen looked at the map again, and then laughed.
"It's me who is worrying about the sky! How could this Han army appear in my rear? Xu Du and Hedong are in their hands, and what will the Han army take to bypass Luoyang and Xingyang. ”
"Report ......" Zhang Hu walked in from outside and said, "General, I just received news from Xu Du and Hedong. The navy under the command of Lord Wang Ling has been patrolling the Yellow River, and has also investigated around Mengjin, but there is no Han army. In addition, General Xiahou Ba also received news from Xu Du, everything is normal in Xu Du, and there is no change in Nanyang Lu Fan. ”
"Whew......" Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The Yellow River has been closely monitored, and it is impossible for the Han army to go around from the Yellow River to the back of Xingyang, as for Yingchuan, Xiahou Ba has always led his troops well, and the Eastern Wu does not seem to be ready to stir up this troubled water, so there should be no need to worry.
Cao Zhen looked at the land again, looked at the mountains marked on the map, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
From the mountain to the east of Xingyang, and then surround yourself, this is only theoretically possible, the mountain road is rugged, dozens or hundreds of people can barely do, but the army can not walk at all, if there are many people, not to mention whether the road can be walked, food alone is a big problem. The mountain range near Luoyang, only the east and west length of Songshan Mountain is one hundred and fifty miles, and this one hundred and fifty miles also contains cliffs and cliffs, how can the army pass through!
"Hmph, I have hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter what conspiracy you Liu Adou has, I'm not afraid! In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a floating cloud. A hint of fierceness flashed in Cao Zhen's eyes, and at the same time, his self-confidence began to slowly recover.
……
Songshan.
Songshan is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties will be enshrined in Zen sacrifices, the literati and bachelors will give banquets and lectures, the famous monks and the famous monks and the people and inkmen will travel, write books and lectures or enlighten Zen, and live in seclusion, there are many places of interest and historic sites on the mountain, ranking the crown of the five mountains.
In ancient times, there are many legends about Songshan, it is said that Fuxi, the emperor, Dayu, have lived in this Songshan. However, Songshan really exhibited, or after the gradual rise of Buddhism in the Jin Dynasty, before that, Songshan was still in a relatively primitive state, to put it bluntly, it was a place where no one lived, except for some people who collected medicine and hoped to become immortals, others rarely went deep into Songshan, only in the periphery activities. However, compared to other nearby mountains, this Songshan Mountain is already a place with many people.
Now, in the deepest part of Songshan Mountain, in the vast mountains and forests, there is a troop that is groping and moving forward with difficulty.
A big flag swayed slightly with the movement of the flag bearer, and on the big flag, four big characters were particularly conspicuous - Wudang Feijun!
