Chapter 83: The Tiger Comes Out
Tan Malay reported: "General Qiyu Rengong, the enemy has dispatched an army of 5,000 and is about to attack our army's camp. Cai Yongkut sat on the desk in the side hall, staring blankly at the picture of stepping on the snow to find plum blossoms, this painting was still given by Li Ying twenty years ago, borrowing things to inspire him to enter the last school.
Li Ying was famous all over the world back then, and he was the head of the famous 'Eight Horses'.
Nowadays, things are not people, but the teachings of Yuan Ligong are still in my ears...
Regarding the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has a different opinion from ordinary people, and others blindly regard it as a flood beast, and only care about shouting and killing. And he felt that it was not an opportunity, and he could use the thief's power to lift the party in one fell swoop, reorganize the rule of officials, and let my Han reshape its glory.
But this kind of thinking is just wishful thinking on his part. Recently, he led the army to Julu, and repeatedly fought bloody battles with the thief chieftain Zhang Jiao, and after a slight setback, he was used by Zhang Rang to attack this group of eunuchs, Cai Yong fought for his friends, but was dismissed by the emperor on the spot and driven out of the court.
In addition to being disheartened, he gradually became a recluse.
When the domestic servant Cai Zhong led me and Jia Xu into the side hall, he woke up from his trance.
"Haichuan, Wenhe, what's going on?" Cai Yong cheered up and simply greeted the two of us.
"I'm here to save Master Cai's life!" I'm the first to take the lead.
"Haichuan, do you want to emulate Su Qin Zhangyi to dance with your mouthpiece?" Cai Yong frowned and said with a displeased expression.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi were the two most outstanding columnists in the Warring States Period, and their three-inch tongues were worth 100,000 soldiers.
I waved my hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Master Cai is a model of Shilin, and if he doesn't leave Luoyang for a day, he will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the eunuchs, and he wants to get rid of it quickly!" ”
"Master Cai, I don't know if I can pay attention, in the past few days, there have been a lot of strangers around Cai's Mansion, and at first glance it is not a good kind!" Jia Xu also lost no time in adding.
"Humph! How could the old man be frightened by a group of castrations. Cai Yong's beard stretched and replied sonorously.
"Master Cai, even if you are not afraid of life and death, but Zhao Ji is only sixteen years old this year, if you have three long and two short, what should she do?" I took him again.
As soon as he heard the word Zhaoji, his anger suddenly turned into tenderness, if he really wanted the jade to be broken here, then the daughter he regarded as a treasure would not be lonely and helpless!
After a long time, Cai Yong was weak for a while, and sighed weakly: "It's better to go back, let the things of the world go with it!" ”
I gave me a look, Jia Xu understood, took a step forward, and pressed step by step: "Even if Master Cai wants to retreat and return to his hometown, it is unrealistic; In the place where the yellow turban has been harmed for a long time, and now the road is isolated, and it is not a place to live for the rest of the world. ”
This is not good, that is not good, Cai Yong was silent for a while, and the hall fell into a dead silence.
After more than a dozen breaths, seeing that the time was almost up, I glanced at the depressed future father-in-law, and suddenly got up and said, "I have a proposal, and I ask Master Cai to refer to it in detail." ”
When Cai Yong heard this, his heart relaxed slightly, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said with a pleasant face: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Good!" At this time, I finally said the true intention of this time: "The land of Qingzhou, since the ancient literary style is prosperous, in recent years, the yellow scarf has swept across the state, so that the people's livelihood has withered, literature has declined, I want to build a comprehensive school, in order to inherit and carry forward my Chinese civilization, the school is called Qingzhou School Palace, now everything is ready, there is a lack of a person of high morality to serve as the first sacrificial wine." If Master Cai is willing to condescend, then he has solved a big problem for me. Of course, when the yellow scarf is calmed down, it is to go or stay and listen to it. ”
"Haichuan is so generous! Qingzhou School Palace sacrificial wine, the old man is looking forward to it. Cai Yong smiled, and the melancholy on his face disappeared.
When I was relieved, a shadow flashed out of the corner of my eye, and then the footsteps faded away.
Hehe, Cai Yan, this little girl, really eavesdropped outside the door, and only after hearing that his father agreed to go to Qingzhou did she feel at ease...
The trip to Luoyang was fruitful, not only did I get the coveted Qingzhou Thorn History, but also owed an additional credit to a miscellaneous general, if this Julu can annihilate Zhang Jiao in a battle, then I can be regarded as completely gaining a firm foothold in this troubled era.
The only regret is that although Cai Yong agreed to serve as the priest of the school palace, he insisted on going to Li Ying's former residence first, so I had to send someone to escort and wave goodbye to the tearful beautiful girl Cai Yan.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, a few days after I returned to Qingzhou, the latest information came from the Julu front: Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao had lost the wind in several confrontations, so they tightened the battle line, high bases and deep ditches, and then turned the offensive to defend, and launched an indefinite confrontation with the enemy.
Zhang Jiao in history is Lu Zhi's opponent! Hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten by Lu Zhi's 30,000 people and couldn't find the north, and finally had to retreat to the Julu Fortified City to defend it tightly, not daring to move a bit. Now he can stabilize Lu Zhi's head, and I have to say that I have some credit - it turned out that Zhang Liang fled back to Jizhou after the defeat of Qingzhou, discussed with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, learned from the pain, and promoted Zheng Gu unusually, and he presided over a vigorous military reform and copied our army in all directions. After several months of hard work, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army has improved a lot, so as soon as Lu Zhi and Qi were engaged, they suffered several losses one after another.
This is different from the previous history, and the offensive and defensive sides have come to a big reversal.
After Lu Zhi stepped down, Dong Zhuo was on top, although it was a taboo to change generals in battle, but Dong Zhuo was not an ordinary person.
Originally, this main general should be served by me, a rebellious general, but I didn't expect to be stabbed by Dong Zhuo, and I was so angry that the generals of our army jumped to scold my mother, but as a party to the party, I was not worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he is not Zhang Jiao's opponent." ”
In the original history, Dong Zhuo did not really control this army, and was soon defeated by Zhang Jiao; Now that the Yellow Turban Army is fighting with a plug-in, he will only lose even worse.
As expected, Dong Zhuo was killed by the Yellow Turban in several battles and lost his armor, and more than 40,000 troops were abused by the Yellow Turbans without temper. The soldiers of our army were gloating, laughing that Dong Zhuo was a pustule...
A few days later, the Luoyang Angel Starry Night rushed to Qingzhou, and when he found me, he hurriedly announced: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Qingzhou assassin history, rebellious general Shen Lang loyal to the country, the thief meritorious, ordered Er to quickly lead the army to exterminate Zhang Jiao, Qin this." ”
I am waiting for this day, if I can win a great victory in this expedition, I will really stand on my feet in this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the wheel of history may be able to turn around.
I clenched my fists and wanted to let out a long howl, and more than a year of planning, hundreds of battles, and hundreds of anxious days and nights were all excited by the arrival of this day.
As soon as the mobilization order was issued, the powerful war machine of the LTTE was immediately running at full capacity. As soon as they heard that they were going to attack the lair of the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers were all gearing up, and they had already held their breath, since you Zhang Liang dared to attack me, you should have the consciousness of being wiped out by our army. What's more, the Yellow Turban Thief Army, but its defeated generals, has always been beaten when it encounters the Tiger Army, so our army has a natural advantage in the face of the Yellow Turban Army.
Now the Tiger Army has a scale of about 30,000 people, and after taking over Qingzhou in an all-round way, it has reorganized more than 10,000 soldiers from various counties, with a total strength of more than 40,000.
Now there are many generals, Zhao Yun, Le Jin, Cao Xing, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Yu Ban and Cheng Pu are all the choice of famous generals, but a few people have been in the army for a short time, and they still need several polishes to be independent; Only Tai Shici has been fighting with me for a long time, wise and brave, is my right-hand man, and has begun to have the talent to coordinate the overall situation.
After explaining many matters to Tai Shici, he stayed in the base camp of Qingzhou, and in addition, ordered Yu Ban, Man Chong, Tian Chou, Lu Qian and others to be supplemented, leaving 5,000 tiger troops and 10,000 county soldiers to suppress Xiaoxiao. There will be no major war in Qingzhou now, and it should be more than enough to have these troops stationed there.
The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and after the armament and logistics materials were in place, the time passed for several days.
On May 18, the sky was high and crisp, and it was a good day for the march. On the huge school ground, 25,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army were ready to go, and on the platform, the generals of the Tiger Army poured out. Behind me, the generals who are familiar to future generations are standing solemnly, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Cao Xing, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Man Chong, Tian Chou, Lu Qian, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Shi A, Jiang Qin, Cheng Pu, Wu Anguo, Fang Yue, Zhou Cang, Cheng Lian, Pei Yuanshao and others are all brightly armored, and it is difficult to hide their excitement, as if they are about to celebrate the New Year! Because there is a big war to fight soon, a good man should fight for fame on the battlefield.
Fortunately, the few people left behind have a stable personality, although they are unwilling, they can also distinguish that Qingzhou is the foundation of our army, and they have to guard against it. I patted Tai Shici on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Ziyi, Qingzhou will hand it over to you, and you can discuss with Mr. Wenhe if you have something." ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, with so-and-so, Qingzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai." ”
With Tai Shici sitting in Qingzhou, I no longer have any worries, so I raised the iron horn and started a simple pre-war mobilization: "Everyone in the world says how powerful Zhang Jiao is, the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry have been defeated successively. ”
"The Yellow Turban Thief Army, the defeated generals, why be afraid?" Someone immediately disdained.
"He's afraid of us Tigers."
"Zhang Jiao counts a ball!"
……
At this moment, our army was excited, and regarded the yellow scarf as a mustard.
I gently pressed down my palm, stopped everyone, grabbed the simple iron horn, and shouted: "Since everyone has confidence, this battle will destroy the yellow turban and capture Zhang Jiao alive!" ”
The voice of the audience was like thunder: "Swear to destroy the yellow scarf and capture Zhang Jiao alive!" ”
Swear to destroy the yellow scarf and capture Zhang Jiao alive!
Swear to destroy the yellow scarf and capture Zhang Jiao alive...
The roars of tens of thousands of people gathered together, shaking the heavens and the earth, only to startle the beasts and rats within a radius of more than ten miles, and the birds and birds flew away.
Knock knock! The drums of war exploded, and I waved my hand and shouted: "Go!" ”
……
Outside Julu City, Zhonglang swept away the previous haze of Dong Zhuo, and a pair of big hands hurriedly stretched out, holding up the two middle-aged generals who were saluting, and said with a hearty smile: "Ah Dao, Ah Yan, don't be polite, there are two cavalry from your two schools, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
"I am willing to go to the soup for the general!" The two replied in unison.
These two are both fierce generals of Xiliang, one is called Li Dao, and the other is called Guo Yan, both of whom are Dong Zhuo's henchmen, and they have also left a great reputation in history.
When Dong Zhuo took over the army, the imperial court was in a hurry at that time, and he only brought more than 100 personal guards to come day and night, and the trump card in his hand, the four thousand Xiliang Jing Cavalry, was stationed in many places, and it took time to allocate centralized and pre-war material preparations, so it was more than ten days later than Dong Zhuo, but it was not too late to arrive at the battlefield now.
Thinking of what happened these days, Zhonglang will sigh and sigh. Since the first day when he was in charge of the 40,000 army, he began to have a headache, this army is too high, just because it is the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, guarding Luoyang for a long time, whether it is an ordinary soldier or an officer, the spirit is very high, when Lu Zhi is handsome, they still dare not make a mistake, after all, Lu Zhi is a great Confucian in the world, and he has been in the center for a long time, and his prestige and status are enough to suppress the cow ghost and snake god. Can Dong Zhuo compare? A good family in the remote area, although he has a reputation in Liangzhou, but it is not worth the money in Luoyang, and it is rumored that the position of this Zhonglang general is just a heavy bribe Zhang Chang to obtain, who will go to him for this kind of lord.
Under the yin and yang of this group of arrogant soldiers, Dong Zhuo reluctantly clashed with the thief army several times, and suffered several small defeats in a row, so anxious that he didn't think about tea and dinner, and now his trump card descendant arrived, Lao Dong decided to make a big deal and turn the situation around with a hearty victory.
……
Outside Julu City, the Yellow Turban Barracks stretch for more than ten miles, lined up in a half-moon formation, built against the city, can be attacked and retreated, and are not afraid of the enemy attacking the city at all.
Zhang Liang sat in the camp of the Chinese army, and he was laughing at the world's famous generals with his henchmen, laughing at Lu Zhi's exaggeration, and laughing at Dong Zhuo'er... He is now full of confidence, because the Yellow Turban Army is no longer comparable to yesterday, has gradually strengthened the prototype of the army, this army has been repeatedly tempered in actual combat with officers and soldiers, and continues to grow, if he is given another half a year, the elite soldiers will be successful, and they should be able to compete with the Han Ting.
Recalling the battle between Qingzhou and the Tiger Army, it was like last night, but the defeat in that battle was unjust, which suddenly made him wake up from a dream, deeply understand the gap between his own side and the elite of the world, and directly promote the nirvana rebirth of the Yellow Turban Army today. When Zhang Liangzheng sighed,
"It's a bit strange that the officers and soldiers took the initiative to attack today, isn't it enough for them to suffer?" Zhang Liang muttered to himself.
"General, there must be a demon when things go wrong." Zheng Gu frowned, pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Come on, give a certain revisit, if the enemy camp reinforcements arrive, they will be reported as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
After waiting for less than half an hour, a few waves of horses came back in a row, bringing new enemy information, and after several confirmations, Zheng Gu and Zhang Liang looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "I see, let's have a plan!" ”
