Chapter 474: Winter Hunting
At the head of Yingcheng, Guan Yu stood in the wind, the cold north wind lifted his wide cloak, thrown high behind him, his long hair fluttering, the cold light flashed in the phoenix's eyes, and the whole person was lofty, standing still in the wind, like the god of war standing between heaven and earth, which made people dare not offend.
"Yun Chang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!"
A warm greeting sounded behind him, and a silver-armored general appeared at the head of the city.
"Zilong! I haven't seen you for many days, but the style is still the same! Guan Yu turned around and greeted with a smile, a pair of phoenix eyes with a smile, but there was no cold look just now.
Guan Yu pointed to the front and said with emotion: "Zilong, there is Xuchang ahead, when a certain person came out of Xuchang, how depressed, I never thought that I would capture this city so soon, life is really unpredictable!" ”
Zhao Yun smiled: "Yun Chang sighed again. As military generals, we should pacify the world and make contributions. Cao Cao was unkind, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, killed Zhongliang, slaughtered the people, and killed dissidents, so that the world complained, and the people of Li were miserable. ”
Guan Yu laughed: "Hahaha...... also said that Guan Mou felt a lot of emotion, Zilong, and you also felt a lot in your heart. ”
Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed and said, "Hehe, let Yun Changjian smile." It's just that I thought that since I followed Gongsun Boqi to the east and west many years ago, many people who are familiar with each other now are either ancient or their own masters, fighting each other, and I feel a lot, and I feel it for a while. ”
At this time, a personal soldier behind him bowed down and said, "Two generals, Master Pang is invited!" ”
"Isn't there news from the lord?" Zhao Yun wondered.
Guan Yu was on Zhao Yun's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go and have a look, won't we know?" ”
The two walked into the big tent, and between them, Pang Tong sat in the main seat with a smile, and the military academy next to him stood upright, but Guan Yu's eyes were staring straight at a black-faced man next to him.
"Brother!" The black-faced man suddenly got up and ran straight over, hugging Guan Yu and shouting, smiling on his lips, but there were tears in his eyes.
"Third brother!" Guan Yu hugged Zhang Fei, who pounced, and the two hugged each other and laughed and cried.
Zhang Fei was going to be left in Chengdu by Liu Yong, but Zhang Fei heard that he was going to attack Xuchang, and refused to stay, shouting that he would come even if the official was demoted to three levels, Liu Yong had no choice but to leave Huang Zhong as the governor of Xichuan, commanding the people in Shuzhong, and Zhuge Liang continued to guard Xichuan, crusading against the rebellion and the land that had not yet surrendered, and he led Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ling Tong, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and some Shu generals such as Lei Tong, Li Yan, Wu Yi, Zhang Yi, Zhang Wei and others to come to Xuchang, Chengdu just took over, Zhao Yun was rushed to lead the crowd to come, Zhang Fei led the people to set off after he was basically stable, Wei Yan was sent to Hanzhong, and Fa Zheng, Li Hui, Huang Quan, Zhang Ren and other Liu Yong personally led the troops from Hanzhong all the way, and they were still halfway.
It took a long time for the Guan Yu brothers to think of this matter, and they quickly turned their heads to confess to Pang Tong and the generals.
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Yun Chang and Yide have a deep brotherhood, it is common for people to be in love, what a crime, and sit in peace!" ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, but the lord is coming?" ”
Pang Tong nodded, acknowledging Zhao Yun's inquiry, and pressed down on the noise of the crowd and said: "Yide led an army of 30,000 to help in the battle, and brought the lord's message, ordering us to wait for the soldiers to come to Xuchang, suppress people with momentum, and wait for him to arrive, and fight down!" ”
When the generals heard this, they immediately got up excitedly: "Please give the order to the military division!" ”
According to the military regulations of this era, the chief general is the one who controls everything, but Liu Yong slowly added the concept of governing the army in later generations, that is, the leadership order of the military leader and the staff officer at the same level. Liu Yong stipulated: If a military leader at the same level is absent, a staff officer at the same level will be the commander, that is, in his absence, the military division will be the commander.
Although this rule made many generals very opposed, Liu Yong still forcibly implemented it.
The officers of this era are mostly illiterate, or only rough words of reckless men, at every turn will fall into the enemy's trap schemes, the most famous is the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao sent people to burn Yuan Shao's black nest of grain, if there was a wise man in the army at the beginning, maybe there would not have been Chun Yuqiong's drunken mistake, and when he learned that Cao Jun came to sneak attack, he would not take it lightly and ordered Cao Cao to take the opportunity to burn all the grain and grass, maybe the battle situation and history will be rewritten.
According to Liu Yong's regulations, Pang Tong is respected here, which is also to prevent the situation that the leader of the army controls everything without authorization in the future and has internal division again.
Pang Tong nodded: "Although the lord is in order to be foolproof, he asked me to wait for him to come and launch an attack, but now the weather is getting colder, in case of a heavy snowfall, it will ruin the lord's plan, and it is difficult to ensure that Cao Cao disregards the war in Hebei and sends the elite around him to come to the rescue, therefore, we all think that our army is currently a drum like a tiger, the soldiers are coming to the city, launching a fierce attack, and bringing the lord to arrive, you can offer a big gift!" What do you think? ”
How many strategic characters can there be among the generals, among them, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are the best, but they are still far worse than Pang Tong, think about it, break it early, rest assured early, how good, therefore, as soon as Pang Tong's voice fell, he immediately got up and applauded, and shouted to ask for his life to fight.
Guan Yu opened his mouth and said, "I don't know how the military division is going to attack the city?" ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Our army's morale is now booming, and its strength is several times better than Cao's army. ”
"If this is the case, the sergeant's casualties will be somewhat large, and the lord will be blamed in the future. Doesn't the sergeant have any other plan? Guan Yu was a little skeptical, with Pang Tong's resourcefulness, how could he choose such a simple strategy.
Pang Tong said with a conclusion: "One force will drop ten times, in the face of strength, all tricks are useless!" Those trails don't need it! ”
Guan Yu was about to say more, but was stopped by Pang Tong waving his hand, and said to himself: "I heard that the people in the north will dig ice and net in winter, but they can return with a full load, it is for winter fishing, and now that my Jingzhou is in full swing, I also need a big harvest, and the winter fishing is about to begin!" ”
Pang Tong's face suddenly became serious, and he directly ordered: "Guan Yu, Zang Ba, and Zhang Fei stepped forward to listen to the order!" ”
All three of them stepped forward and obeyed the order: "The last general!" ”
"Guan Yu, order you to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the West Gate!"
"Zhang Fei, lead an army of 30,000 and attack the East Gate!"
"Zang Ba, order you to lead an army of 20,000 to attack the north gate!"
"No!" The three of them stood up to take orders.
Zhao Yun asked here: "Military Master, why is there no Zhao Yun?" The east, west, and north gates are all attacked, why is there no one at the south gate, but it is necessary to use the method of three missing one? ”
Pang Tong smiled: "What Zilong said is yes and no!" ”
