Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 76 Divisive Gaoding
These horses under Bao's command didn't expect that those Wuxi barbarians would rush forward and aim their weapons at themselves.
The soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they all turned their eyes to the direction of the main general Zhu Bao, wanting to see what orders Zhu had orders, but they just saw that Shamoke was carrying Zhu Bao's corpse and showing off his might.
The Lord will die, and tens of thousands of horses under Zhu Bao's command are suddenly in chaos, and in the face of the attack of the Wuxi barbarians, everyone doesn't know whether to resist or flee immediately. But without Zhu's command, the soldiers could only scurry around like headless flies. On the battlefield, the chaos was abnormal, and under the panic, many of Zhu Bao's routs rushed to the armies of Gao Ding and Yong next to them.
"Brothers, rush forward!" Gao Ding waved the broadsword in his hand and kept urging the soldiers around him to rush forward.
Gradually, Gao Ding found that the soldiers around him were a little disjointed, Gao Ding hurriedly looked back, and found that the direction of Zhu Bao's army was already chaotic, and the men and horses under Zhu Bao's command even fled in all directions, and the fleeing Zhu Baojun rushed into Gao Ding and Yong's troops, and Gao Ding and Yong were also in chaos.
"What's going on?" Gao Ding looked at the rear in surprise, Zhu Baozai can be regarded as a hegemon, and it should not be impossible to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
In the rear, Shamoke threw Zhu Bao's body in front of Ma Liang, and then said, "Ji Chang, Zhu Bao has been beheaded by me." What do we do next? ”
Ma Liang looked at the chaotic remnants of Zhu Bao's army, and immediately said, "Brother Sha, let's drive Zhu Bao's remnants to Gaoding and Yong's side." ”
After receiving Moke's order, the Wuxi barbarian soldiers began to drive the remnants of Zhu Bao's army in the direction of Gaoding and Yong.
Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and Yong are allies, so when Gao Ding and the soldiers under the command of Gao Ding and Yong saw Zhu people rushing over, they would definitely not attack Zhu Bao's army, so that Zhu Bao's remnants rushed into Gao Ding and Yong's brigade, and instantly dispersed Gao Ding and Zhu's soldiers. At the same time, the chaos of Zhu Baojun also spread to Gaoding and Yongjun.
Gao Ding was close at this time, and found that his people had been scattered by the sudden Zhu Bao army. Gao Ding hurriedly and loudly ordered his men not to be confused. But Gao Ding and Yong together have more than 100,000 people. Gao Ding's shouting alone did not help at all.
Then. The Wuxi barbarians also arrived. The Xi barbarian army went straight to the Gaoding army. This time it was Gao Ding's turn to be caught off guard.
Gao Dingjun didn't expect it either. The Wuxi Barbarians will suddenly attack themselves. Caught off guard. A lot of people were lost.
I saw the Wuxi barbarians attacking themselves. At this time, Gao Ding had already understood that the Wuxi barbarian army was probably on the verge of defection.
"Ehuan. Stop the Wuxi barbarians for me! Gao Ding shouted. E Huan immediately rushed to the barbarian army behind.
E Huan brandished Fang Tian's painting halberd. Rushed into the Wuxi barbarian army. Fang Tian's halberd turned into a rainbow. Every flight can take away a living life.
"Ehuan Xiu is going to be arrogant, Shamoke is here!" Seeing Ehuan slaughtering the Wuxi barbarians without scruples, Shamoke immediately rushed up and raised the thistle bone to fight Ehuan.
Adou looked at the front and found that there was a large amount of chaos behind Gao Ding at this time.
"It seems that Ma Liang's side has already succeeded! Command to pet, attack Gaoding! ”
Xiang Pet received Adou's order, and immediately waved the order flag, the drums of the attack sounded, and the Shu army began to think about advancing in the direction of Gaoding.
Gao Ding saw that the Shu army was thinking about advancing on his side, and knew that he was being attacked from both sides. At the same time, Wen Qin, who flanked him, was constantly harassing.
The situation took a turn for the worse, Zhu's chaotic army was still impacting its own formation, and more and more soldiers under Gao Ding's command fell into chaos.
Looking back at Yong's side, except for a small number of Zhu Bao's remnants of the army, Yong was not attacked by the Shu army and the Wuxi barbarian army. This made Gao Ding feel very unbalanced in his heart.
"Tell the order to withdraw from the army and fight again in the future!" Gao Ding was worried that he would lose too many men, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
The Gao Ding army retreated to the back, and Yong suddenly became the target of everyone. The offensive of the Shu army and the Wuxi barbarian army began to shift towards Yong.
The men and horses in Yong's hands are not as good as Gaoding's Duowuxi barbarian army and Shu army, the situation is even worse than Gaoding, plus Gaoding's sudden withdrawal, Yong Dumu is difficult to support and order the withdrawal of the army.
"Those who descend will not be killed!" Adou had enough strength, and after shouting at the battlefield, the Shu army also shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
These remnants of the soldiers under Zhu Bao's command no longer have the command of the commander, and when they heard the Shu army say "those who surrender will not be killed", they laid down their arms and surrendered, and many people from Gaoding and Yong, seeing that there was no hope of escape, also surrendered to the Shu army.
Seeing that a large number of enemies began to lay down their weapons, Adou smiled slightly, and instructed Xiang Pet beside him: "Xiang Pet, divide the troops of Zhu, Yong and Gao Ding to detain them!" ”
……
Gao Ding in the army.
"It's that Zhu, who invited the Wuxi barbarians, it's like luring wolves into the room!" Gao Ding said viciously.
"King, I said it a long time ago, those two guys Yong and Zhu Bao can't be trusted!" Next to him, E Huan said: "And now that Zhu Bao is dead,
"Your Majesty, that's what General Ehuan said. Now the Shu army has the help of Shamoke's 30,000 Wuxi barbarian army, and Zhu Bao is also dead, and Zhu Bao's men and horses were recruited by the Shu army, so that the Shu army also has 70,000 or 80,000 people! I think we might as well withdraw it~= forget it. Another general next to him said.
"Hey......" Gao Ding sighed: "I also want to withdraw Yue~=Ah, I really shouldn't have listened to Yong's slander at the beginning, but now we are already riding a tiger!" If we withdraw to Yue~=, Liu Bei will return to the army one day, and he will inevitably crusade against me
How can we resist! ”
……
Yongjun Zhongzhong.
Zhou Shan looked depressed, came to Yong, lowered his head and said: "Lord, we lost more than 5,000 people in this battle, most of which were captured by the Shu army and the Wuxi barbarian army on the way to retreat. ”
"Smack!" Yong slapped the table hard, and Tie Qing said with this face: "It's all that Gao Ding, if he hadn't escaped by himself, where would we have been involved in facing the Shu army and the Wuxi barbarian army alone!" I thought that his Nayue ~= King Yi was a very majestic person, but I couldn't imagine being so timid! ”
"Lord, now that the Shu army has the help of the Wuxi barbarians, and has surrendered Zhu Bao's men and horses, we have no advantage in terms of troops!" Zhou Shan said.
"Strategist, let's go back to Yongchang!"
"My lord, please be calm and don't be impatient, in a few months, the army of the barbarian king Meng Shu will arrive, so now we don't need to fight with the Shu army, as long as Meng Shu's army arrives, our army will win at that time!" Moreover, now that Governor Lu Xun must have passed Badong, if we retreat now, the Shu army can deal with Lu Xun with all its might. So now it is the Shu army that most wants us to retreat! As long as Meng Huo's army has been attacking, we will cooperate with Lu Xun to attack Wu on both sides, and the Shu army will not be able to take into account the defeat at the beginning and the end! ”
Until now, Zhou Shan did not know that Lu Xun had been defeated and withdrew to Jingzhou.
What Zhou Shan said in the Yongjia family was very reasonable, so he ordered to camp on the spot and stick to it.
……
Zhu Chengzhong.
The surrender of Yong, Zhu and Gaoding was divided into separate charges.
Yong is a Han person, and all the soldiers under him are also Han people, and Gao Ding is the king of Yi, so all the people under Gao Ding's command are Yi people. The surprise of the dress of both sides is still very great. So it's not difficult to single them out and divide them into stakes.
Zhu Bao is dead, and the soldiers under Zhu Bao are now leaderless, so it is easy to recruit all Zhu Bao's men and horses under such circumstances.
Gao Ding was captured by more than 2,000 people, except for those who were seriously wounded, the lightly injured were placed in an open field, surrounded by Shu troops patrolling back and forth.
"Brothers, it's time to eat!" In the distance, two Shu soldiers pushed a large cart and brought down a few wooden barrels from the cart, all of which were freshly prepared and steaming.
The Shu army immediately came over and took his share, and then gathered in groups to eat.
"Hey, dude, did you just hear that? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already ordered that the prisoners will be interrogated in a while, and all the people under Yong's men will be let go, and all of Gao Ding's men will be killed! One of them said as he nibbled on the bread in his hand.
"Really? Prince, why? ”
"I don't know, but I think I've heard that Yong sent an envoy to us......"
"You two muttering or something?" The chief next to him came over and said, "You two have given me a little bit of a leak!" ”
However, the words of the two soldiers were still heard by a few captives of the Gao Ding army not far away.
The news soon spread among Gao Ding's group of captives.
"Hey, I just heard that the Shu army is going to kill us?"
"yes, what should I do! I heard that they don't kill Yong's people! Those people are so good! The other sighed.
"Stupid, after a while, we will say that we are people under Yong's command, and we may not be able to escape death!"
……
The same thing was also going on with Yong's army, but the news that these captives of Yongjun got was that the Shu army only killed Yong's people and not Gaoding's people.
Yongjun prisoner's place.
"Have you heard, the Shu army wants to kill us, not the people of Gaoding!"
"Hey, if I die, how good will my old mother be!"
"Yes, my wife must have run away with the blacksmith at the head of the village!"
"You guys are really stupid, when the Shu army asks for a while, let's say that we are Gao Ding's subordinates, so that the Shu army will not kill us!"
After a while, Xiang Pet led a group of people to the place where the Yongjun was guarded.
"Pull me up one by one and interrogate me!"
After a while, a captive was pulled up.
Xiang Pet looked at this person and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"The villain is under Gao Ding!"
"Well, let him go!" At the command of Xiang Pet, the man was let go.
With this lesson from the past, these captives of the Yongjun army spoke one after another: "General, I am also under Gao Ding!" ”
"General, and me, and so do I!"
Thousands of people all claimed to be soldiers under Gao Ding, and Xiang Zhong let everyone go.
……
The other side.
Wen Qin was also interrogating the captives of the Gao Ding army.
"This general, I am a native of Yongchang, and I have been following Yongchang for several years!"
Wen Qin nodded, this person knew that it was a Yue ~= Yi person at a glance, but Wen Qin didn't seem to notice this, waved his hand, and said: "Since you are a person under General Yong, then hurry up!" Come on, let him go! ”
The Yi people in the back saw that they could pass the test and follow suit, claiming to be Yong's subordinates, and Wen Qin let them all go.
After letting everyone go, Wen Qin went to see Adou with a smile, and happened to see Xiang Pet waiting there.
Not long after, Adou walked in, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "Everything is done?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured, everyone has already been let go!" Wen Qin and Xiang Pet said in unison.
"Okay, Wen Qin, you can go and catch a high-level spy for me later!" Adou said.
"The last general commands!"
……
Gao Dingzheng was sitting alone in the tent drinking stuffy wine when E Huan ran in from outside.
The king is back! They're back! E Huan shouted at Gao Ding.
"Who's back?"
"Our people! All of us who were captured by the Shu army have returned! E Huan gasped and said.
"How did you get back?" Gao Ding hurriedly asked.
"It was the Shu army who let them come back!"
"The Shu army let them go back?" Gao Ding asked in disbelief: "Why did the Shu army let them back?" ”
"The king, here's how it happened......" Ehuan said what happened.
Gao Ding looked at the direction of Yong's camp with an iron face, and said viciously: "I see, Yong is good to you, Yong, you persuaded me to raise troops at the beginning, but now I see that the war is not going well, but I colluded with the Shu army!" That's why the Shu army will put your people back! ”
"The king's affairs are very important, I think it's better to send someone to investigate first!" E Huan suggested from the side.
Gao nodded: "That's fine, immediately send some scouts out to find out the situation of the Shu army and Yong!" ”
……
Yong's people had also gone back at this time, and then explained in detail how they were released by the Shu army.
"Smack!" Yong slapped the table fiercely: "Gao Ding, this barbarian, really has no reputation, and when he saw that the war was not going well, he actually began to contact the Shu army!" If it weren't for Ji Ling, a person under my command, who escaped by pretending to be his high-level person, I am afraid that he would have been killed by the Shu army a long time ago! ”
"The Lord is angry!" Zhou Shan immediately stood up from the side: "Lord, I think this is likely to be Liu Chan's divisive plan, the lord must not believe it!" “
"Humph! I don't think so! Now that the war is not going well, it is natural for Gao Ding to have the intention of retreating! Yong said in a muffled voice.
"No, no! Lord, you think about the Yi people and our Han people, the dress, customs, language and tone are all different, the Han people are Yi people, you can recognize the Shu army at a glance and they are not fools, where will you distinguish which one is Han and one is Yi! Therefore, this must be a divisive strategy used by Liu Chan, and the purpose is naturally to separate us from General Gao Ding. We people were deliberately put back by Liu Chan! Zhou Shan said.
Zhou Shan has followed Zhou Yu for many years, and Zhou Shan is still able to catch it.
Yong nodded suddenly, what Zhou Shan said was very reasonable. The difference between the appearance of the Yi and the Han people may not be very large, Yongjiu lives in Yongchang, and if you look carefully, you can tell which one is the Yi and which is the Han, but the Shu army may not have Yong, and it may be difficult to distinguish between the Yi and the Han from the appearance, but the Yi and the Han people's clothing and language tone are completely different. And the uniforms of the Yongjun and the Gaoding army are also different, as long as they are not blind or deaf, they can distinguish which is the Yi and which is the Han. Based on this, it can be judged that the Shu army deliberately let these people back, and the purpose is naturally to drive a wedge between Gao Ding and Yong.
Thinking of this, Yong's heart felt a little better. Although he lost some people in this battle, the captives were also released by the Shu army, and the losses were acceptable on the whole.
Zhou Shan next to him said with a sad face: "Lord, that King Gao Ding is a foreigner, I am afraid that this time I will fall into Liu Chan's divisive scheme!" ”
"That's what the military advisor said! I'm afraid that guy from Gao Ding will really fall for this divisive scheme! In this way, let's ask Gao Ding to come over tomorrow and tell Gao Ding about Liu Chan's plan. Yong said.
……
"General, we've found a high-end scout!" Xiao Xiao rushed to Wen Qin to report.
"Can you see clearly, is it indeed a high-end person?" Wen Qin asked.
The junior colonel nodded: "The last general can see clearly, that person is dressed as a Yiren, and he is definitely a person under Gao Ding." ”
"Okay, go out and get that guy back!"
It didn't take long for the hapless scout to be caught by Wen Chin. Later, Wen Qin did not kidnap him, but only escorted the scout to Juti.
"Prince, the scout from Gaoding has been brought, just waiting outside!" Wen Qin said to Adou.
"Okay, bring him in, and do everything according to the plan."
Wen Qin went out and brought the scout in, Adou saw the scout, waved his sleeves, and angrily reprimanded: "What did your lord do, saying that I released your people, and he presented Gao Ding's head, why didn't he do it for a long time?" ”
The scout was confused when he heard Adou's words, and saw Adou continue: "You go back and tell Yong, let him quickly offer all the people of Gaoding, and then I will naturally make him the governor of Nanzhong!" ”
After Adou finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Wen Qin immediately took the scout out.
After walking out of Zhuti City, this scout can be considered to have figured out, just now the Shu army was afraid that he would think of himself as a Yong, so he said this to himself.
Thinking about the content of Adou's words, the scout immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so the scout immediately ran towards Gao Ding's camp, and he wanted to tell Gao Ding the news as soon as possible.
……
Gao Ding in the army.
"Yong Xiaoer! He actually wanted to unite with the Shu army to murder me! Gao Ding roared angrily.
And at this moment, E Huan came in from outside: "King, just now Yong sent a messenger to come, saying that the king will come over tomorrow!" ”
"Good! Good for you! You want to use a Hongmen banquet on me! Gao Ding snorted coldly: "In this case, you are unkind, don't blame me for Gao Ding's injustice!" ”
