Chapter 59: Troubled Times: No Righteous War
Tian Heng?
This person Su Chen has no impression, whether it is in later generations or now, he has never heard of this name, so he is a little skeptical of Guan Yu's words, is this Tian Heng really that powerful?
However, he still trusted Guan Yu, so he asked, "Brother Yun, I don't know where this person named Tian Heng is?" Would he like to be our guide? ”
Guan Yu didn't answer, but took the initiative to ask: "Xingyu don't worry, I promise you that in three days, I will definitely bring Tian Heng, and then you will know whether what you said is true or false." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"In this case, please Brother Yun."
"Go some!"
Guan Yu rode his horse overnight to find Tian Heng, and he instructed the six generals to gather the wolf knights, prepare dry food, and prepare for the upcoming march.
Then he rushed to the county guard mansion overnight and told Gao Shun and his father his thoughts, Su Wei naturally complained that he was whimsical, he was so risky, once he failed, the consequences were not what he was willing to bear.
He only has such a son, so naturally he doesn't want him to go into danger.
Gao Shun also disagreed, he thought that the son of Su Chen's daughter could not sit down, there was no need to take such a big risk, although the 300,000 army would arrive in an instant, but there were 50,000 troops to defend the city, and the other party would not want to break through the city defense for a while, just wait for the reinforcements to come, and then it would be the time to compete for the male and female.
Su Chen didn't know that this was an adventure, but he had confidence, he had two confidences, one was the appearance of Guan Yu, if there was no Guan Yu, he wouldn't dare to take risks easily if he was given a few more dares.
The second is the Longyuan Sword, the Longyuan Sword is an eight-grade magic weapon, if Guan Yu wears the Longyuan Sword, its power is afraid that it can rival the master of the Shenwu Realm, so even if the other party has any old monsters in charge, he is confident to fight, this is where his confidence lies.
In addition, the trapping camp plus the wolf horse, dealing with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the royal court, he is confident that it is effortless, the elite army has been brought out by Tanshi Huai, and the 500,000 army is already the limit of Xianbei, they are different from the Han Dynasty, the Han population base is large, plus the people of Wufu are abundant, how many soldiers do they want, what they lack is training, and it is equipment.
For Xianbei, population is their most valuable wealth, and Tanshi Huai came here, in addition to avenging his son, I am afraid that he also had the purpose of looting and forcing the Han Dynasty to cede land and pay compensation.
He organized the language and persuaded: "Father, Brother Gao, my idea is not imaginative, I have discussed it with you before, combined with the information I have obtained now, the guards of the Xianbei Royal Court will not exceed 30,000, and if we are caught off guard, we have every possibility of a successful sneak attack." ”
"Moreover, I am not holding the purpose of victory, to fight to nourish the war, to fight the fighting spirit of the Xianbei people, this is the most fundamental purpose, if the timing is not right, I will meet the opportunity to act, and then I said, there is Brother Yun Chang and the trapped camp, whether it is encountering a large force of cavalry or a reclusive master, there is no problem with our safety, the only problem now is to find a suitable guide."
"Hmm."
The two were finally persuaded by his bold idea, as for the matter of the guide, Gao Shun would actively contact, but at this time, Su Wei thought of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce traveled south and north, and saw a lot, maybe he knew this kind of person, so he also set out to find it.
Three days later, Guan Yu didn't come back on time, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little worried, he knew Guan Yu's character, the other party didn't return on time, he must have been in trouble, but he didn't know what kind of trouble it was.
The six strong generals gathered the team, five hundred wolf riders are not what they used to be, today's wolf riders, even the generals and officials above the chief have all practiced martial arts, and the hundred people will already have the cultivation of the Yijin period, these hundred people will be the children of the small family of Wuyuan County who survived at the beginning, and the strength of this army has a qualitative leap compared to when it was first established.
Gao Shun handed over the command of the trapped camp to him, and he couldn't interfere in the training of the trapped camp, where a complete set of training methods had already been formed.
After waiting for another two days, Guan Yu finally rushed back, he brought back two people, one big and one small, the small one was about the same height as Zhang Liao, and the big one seemed to be the person they were looking for.
"Xingyu, this is Tian Heng, he has been doing business in the north all the year round, he is proficient in various languages, and he is also very familiar with the terrain of the north." Guan Yu pointed to a little old man beside him and introduced.
Su Chen looked at this little old man, and said in his heart that he was really unseemly, just this little old man, he was still a great talent, if he didn't say it, it would be really hard for others to believe it.
Tian Heng smiled and explained embarrassedly: "Why should Yun Chang be ashamed of his old decay, I am a slave under Xianbei's rule, if it wasn't for Yun Chang's rescue, I would have died on the way to escape, my father and son were able to return to their hometown, thanks to Yun Chang, so if there is an order, Tian is duty-bound." ”
After Tian Heng finished speaking, he stroked the top of his son's head, and said: "But I only have one request, this is my son Tian Yu, as long as you can treat him well, my old life will be sold to you, not to mention that it is to fight the Xianbei people, Tian and the Xianbei people have a common hatred, and they are willing to accompany the son to go on a journey." ”
Su Chen also later learned that Tian Heng's wife was ravaged to death by Lord Xianbei, he took the opportunity to poison the Lord Xianbei, and fled back to Han with his son.
"Tian Yu?"
Su Chen heard a familiar name, thought about it, and finally remembered who this person was, and then after a little thought, he understood.
Tian Yu, the word Guorang, was a general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. At the beginning of Liu Bei, he returned to his hometown due to his mother's old age, and then followed Gongsun Zhan, who was defeated and persuaded Xian Yufu to join Cao Cao. When Cao Cao conquered Hebei, Tian Yu was officially appointed by Cao Cao, and successively served as Yingyin, Langling Lingling, Yiyang Taishou, etc.
Later, Tian Yu guarded the northern frontier of Cao Wei all the year round, and from the Wuhuan of Zhengdai County, he cut the bones and broke the Ke Bineng, and had many meritorious achievements; He also participated in the battle against Sun Wu, killing Zhou He in Chengshan and defeating Sun Quan in Xincheng.
Tian Yu shook the northern frontier, and he was very familiar with the northern ethnic groups, and the original root was still in his father.
Su Chen was very happy to get a great talent in the future, and said: "Tian Gong rest assured, my father-in-law Cai Yong is the head of Taihang Academy, I will arrange for Tian Yu to enter Taihang Academy to study, if he is willing to practice martial arts in the future, I will also help him embark on the road of martial arts, and I will never let Tian Gong have worries." ”
Tian Heng looked at Guan Yu, then at Su Chen, and promised, "I believe in you!" ”
As soon as the guide came, the army could set off, and he had a long night, so he said goodbye to his father and Gao Shun that day, and Guan Yu commanded eight hundred camps, and six strong generals commanded five hundred wolf horses.
During the march, Su Chen finally understood Tian Heng's strength, where is it suitable to set up camp, where there is a water source, where is the quicksand area, where the tribe is big, where is suitable for marching, all this, Tian Heng is familiar with all this, until this moment, he felt that he had really picked up a treasure this time.
Three days later, they finally ushered in the first battle of annihilation, this time targeting a small tribe, with 500 young and strong men, and 2,000 old and weak.
This tribe sits here alone, and it happens to be the meat of their mouths.
In this battle, he did not plan to let the trap camp attack the main attack, but let them surround them in all directions, with the wolf rider as the main attack.
The enemy is weak and I am strong, there is no suspense in such a battle, the six strong generals are vying for help, but in the end, Su Chen let Guan Yu lead the troops to rush and kill, mainly to use his strong momentum to deter the enemy and solve the battle as soon as possible, so as not to add more casualties.
Guan Yu was fortunate not to be dishonored, led five hundred wolf horses, and annihilated all the soldiers who could fight at the cost of a dozen minor injuries.
Su Chen said at the right time: "Yun Chang, the war is so cruel, they are Xianbei people, we are Han people, if it is peacetime, we may be able to surround their lives, but we have a heavy responsibility on this trip, and we must not be exposed, so we must all be killed." ”
"I don't know, it's just that this move hurts the heavens, Xingyu, you wait."
Guan Yu is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, so he naturally knows the truth of the unrighteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention, this is a war between two different nationalities, and in this era, this is a war of life and death.
Guan Yu gave an order, Xianbei and the old and weak only let out a burst of wailing, Hao Meng was responsible for counting the spoils, and after a little counting, he excitedly reported to him: "Lord, in this battle, we annihilated more than 2,000 enemy troops, captured 1,000 war horses, and the rest of the horses were more than 2,000, countless cattle and sheep, and a few gold and silver, how should the lord deal with it?" ”
"So much?" Su Chen didn't expect so much to be seized, thought for a while and said: "Bury the gold and silver and other things on the spot, make road signs, and we will come back and take them out when we have the opportunity in the future." As for the cattle and sheep, they were all killed, fed to a full feast, and those that could be taken away were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were thrown away. ”
"A thousand war horses are replenished and consumed, one person has three horses, as for the horses, let them go, it's also a burden to carry, hey, it's a pity to have this wealth."
In fact, if it weren't for the limited time, he really planned to send someone to escort these horses back, but there were not many of them, so he had to give up, as for taking them, it would inevitably affect the speed of the march, and the gains outweighed the losses, and giving up was the wisest choice.
The battlefield was simply cleaned, repaired overnight, and early the next morning, the army advanced along the established route. At the same time, reinforcements from Gohara County also arrived ahead of schedule. confronted Xianbei's 300,000 army, and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
