Chapter 106: The White Horse Passes
After two months of rebellion, the former calm was finally restored, and Ouyang Huan and all those involved in the rebellion were expelled to the desolate four counties of Connecticut, where the officials finally returned to the rich China with a sense of relief. lwxs520.com Some of the people who did not want to be in Connecticut also migrated to the Chinese states under the escort of the Qiang army, and obtained the corresponding fertile land and a part of the settlement fee.
In September 208, China once again returned to its former prosperity. The communication and transportation have been running smoothly again, which has made the Chinese people sigh at the convenience of science and technology, and also changed the Chinese people's understanding of science and technology, and then promoted the further development of Chinese science and technology. However, Ouyang Xuan is trying his best to promote Chinese culture and humanistic construction.
Ouyang Gui's body gradually returned to its former state, and Ouyang Xuan once again relinquished his imperial power and took the Yulin Army to Qingzhou, the Han land. The Han land is still in turmoil, Liu Bei incorporated the soldiers left by Ouyang Xuan, and his strength suddenly increased, almost controlling the original Cao Cao's sphere of influence. Sun Ce still ran a place in Jiangdong, and from time to time he and Liu Bei fought for Xuzhou, and Cao Cao hibernated in Qianghe County for two years after Guo Jia's death, and was ready to fight back. The town guards Yizhou is now Guan Yu and Xu Shu, and Hanzhong is Zhang Fei. In the past two years, Liu Bei has been quite decent, and he is also respectful to Liu Xie, Zhuge Liang has served too often, Xing Dan has served as a regular servant, and he is the spokesperson of Liu Xie, and Zhuge Liang is also extremely dissatisfied with him. He suggested to Liu Bei many times that eunuchs should be abolished, but Liu Bei had refused under various excuses. Today, Zhuge Liang once again made Zhuge Liang a little unhappy because of Xing Tang's nonsense in the court, and after going down to the court, he found Liu Bei again.
"My lord, if this continues, this court will be like the first emperor again." Zhuge Liang has always been reluctant to change his name to be the king, or the official position, for Liu Xie, Zhuge Liang is still very repulsive, his ideas are similar to Guo Jia, with the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
"Don't be annoyed by Kong Ming, King Xia once said: If you want to make him die, you must first make him crazy. I don't know if Kong Ming can know the recent changes in Huaxia? ”。
"I have heard a little, for the royal family to seize the throne, it depends on the two months. What does the lord say about this? ”。
"Kong Ming is also a person who is proficient in the mysteries, why didn't he understand the mysteries. Hanging bait fishing, those with potential energy do it".
"The Lord wants to emulate it? Hang bait fishing, make it crazy, and then get rid of it? ”
"That's right, this is what King Xia gave before leaving. Now that the situation is strong, why not do it? ”。
"Haha, it's bright. The strategy of the Xia King is not the best policy, but it can be done. The lord wants to return the world to the Han family, hang bait fishing, and give up Yizhou, Kongliangzhou, and return to the fiefdom and return to the government. The fool is more crazy, the greedy is more greedy, and the loyal and treacherous are self-evident. It's not impossible to divide the world into three parts, but if there is a slight difference, the cart before the horse will be reversed, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said.
Liu Bei smiled and said nothing, picked up a thread-bound book from the desk, the title of the book "Huaxia Story", handed it to Zhuge Liang and said: "This book was purchased from a Chinese merchant with a lot of money. If the world is like returning to Han, it is still as bleak as yesterday. It is better to merge into China or act as a state in China."
"Don't be like this, Huaxia is rich with its products. But the system has memorized the ancient rites, and it is no longer my Chinese people. Its imitation of the Qin Emperor's heavy law to destroy Confucianism is already a sign of great rebellion. Valuing the people over the people, valuing business over agriculture, and reusing craftsmen as the pillars of the country is even more insulting to the sages. China can't do this, otherwise there will be no shame to meet the ancestors and ancestors on the other side", Zhuge Liang said very nervously.
"Haha, why are we scrambling? It's not for the people, it's our pursuit to be rich and the country strong, not fame and fortune", Liu Bei said with his hands behind his back and looking at the roof.
"Liang and other followers are all here for fame and fortune, if you learn from King Xia, there are many people who are afraid of leaving."
"Hey, Bei is just talking, Kong Ming doesn't have to take it seriously. There is only King Xia in this world, and we cannot follow suit. His followers such as Qingzhou Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Zhang Liao of Bingzhou were extremely loyal to the Xia king. Bei is really not as good as King Xia, or tomorrow, he will return to the Nanyang fiefdom tomorrow."
Qingzhou is now under the governance of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, and the people's livelihood is rich, coupled with the trade with Huaxia, so that Qingzhou has also risen the wind of doing business and heavy craftsmen. Those Confucian families who had been suppressed in Qingzhou for a long time also abandoned Qingzhou to seek development in the land of Yanxu, and some families who were unwilling to fail under the leadership of Confucius's 19th grandson Kong Zan, constantly fought against Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, and almost every day there were disturbances to the court, which made the officials of various counties miserable.
When Ouyang Xuan arrived, Kong Zan actually openly accused Ouyang Xuan of stealing the country and scolding him in the Qingzhou lobby, and the whole world punished him. For this kind of sour and rotten Confucian students, Ouyang Xuan has never been too lazy to speak, so he asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to avoid it, and ordered Yulin Jun to bring all those who have disturbed the public court in the past two years to justice, and punish the nine clans for the crime of treason. Qingzhou, Langya and Taishan counties attacked 86 counties and began to investigate one by one, and all those who disturbed the public court were strictly investigated and dealt with, and at the same time an order was issued to implement the "Confucianism Prohibition Order" within the scope of Qingzhou and the two counties, and those who did not obey were killed, those who spread Confucianism were killed, and those who were Tibetan Confucian classics were killed.
After a month of killing Confucianism and burning books, there was no more dissenting sound in Qingzhou. However, the crusades of the states and counties in the Han region were indeed continuous, and Ouyang Xuan ignored them completely, and still carried out national education, improved agricultural technology, and encouraged industry and commerce as when China was founded. He ordered Tai Shi Ci to strictly train men and horses, and Zhao Yun led the military and government of Qingzhou to prevent soldiers and horses from surrounding states and counties from invading the country. Now Ouyang Xuan doesn't dare to guarantee what the crazy Confucian scholars can do, they have done a lot of things that lack virtue in the troubled times in history, and the most famous ones are Qin Hui and Zhang Zongchang. Ouyang Xuan didn't want these people under his command to be killed by the imperial court on trumped-up charges.
Now the Han region has formed a state of confrontation between Eastern Wu, the Central Plains, and Qingzhou, and Cao Cao is living in Kangguo, and is preparing to take Yizhou. At the same time as Ouyang Xuan's side banned Confucianism, Cao Cao took Liu De as the commander and Zhang Tong as the vanguard, leading 300,000 troops to Yizhou. Sun Ce almost simultaneously took Zhou Yu as the governor and sent 200,000 troops to capture Xuzhou. Liu Bei, who was strong in soldiers and horses, led Yizhou soldiers and horses with Guan Yu to resist Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang led 400,000 soldiers and horses east into Xuzhou to resist Sun Ce.
Liu Bei personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Xu Shu as his military division, and garrisoned Jiangxia to respond to Zhuge Liang's actions. In early October 208, Zhang Tong and Guan Yu were under the White Horse City in Wenshan County, and Guan Yu took advantage of the favorable terrain to build a dam to cut off the water. When Zhang Yan's army arrived, the embankment broke and the water was released, and the vanguard of the 30,000 Cao army disappeared in an instant, and the people in White Horse City disappeared at the same time. Zhang Tong returned in a fiasco, and Liu De was not impressed by Zhang Tong's defeat. Divided into three routes, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Bai Yang (Liu De's disciples) each led a road of men and horses, and the soldiers went out of Baima Pass (now Songpan) in Maoqi County, and pressed Guan Yu from the south, north, and west, and Guan Yu's arrogance was destined for his life.
What kind of character Liu De is, in this world, except for Ouyang Xuan and his Yulin Army, there are not many people who can fight against him, three soldiers and horses, the one led by Bai Yang traveled the fastest, and it only took three days to come to the White Horse City, and set up camp step by step. He didn't challenge or call for battle, but Guan Yu was not, when he heard that the North Lord General was actually a hairy boy at the age of a weak crown, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Cao Cao deceived me very much, and he only sent a yellow-haired boy to fight against a certain one, and someone came to light up five thousand men and horses to meet the enemy outside a certain city."
"The general may be inappropriate in this matter, Cao Cao's three-way army marched, why did he just come here all the way. It is common sense that the three roads should go hand in hand, and it is advantageous to arrive at the same time. Why is this white sun doubling down now? There will be deception, please think twice." Joining the army, Chen Gongyan said. Chen Gong was originally the Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Cao did the same thing as Ouyang Xuan during his tenure in Yanzhou, killed many Confucian celebrities, annoyed Chen Gong, abandoned the official and went to Liu Bei, and was treated by Liu Bei with great courtesy.
"A mere yellow-haired boy, what can I do?". After speaking, he ignored Chen Gong's advice, picked up his knife and got on the horse, and led the soldiers out of the north gate. Chen Gong ordered people to distribute the soldiers and horses in the city to the west and south sides, prepared enough rolling wood and stones, and hung the suspension bridge high. Outside the northern city, Guan Yu lined up in front of the Baiyang array, and Guan Ping Zhoucang suppressed the formation and called the formation in front of the camp. In a short time, a sentry of soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp camp to meet each other in front of the camp, the first general was in his early twenties, wearing silver-white armor, a red sweat and blood horse in his crotch, and holding a horse lance (ash pole spear, the head of the spear is much longer than ordinary guns, similar to short swords, and generally made of pure steel). Guan Yu's hand is still a red rabbit horse, and in his hand is still the long knife modified from the horse sword, called the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as a long pole and a big sword, and the interpretation of later generations was also a misunderstanding of people who had never touched the sword. The long Pu knife appeared after the Tang and Song dynasties, and the longest use in this era was the spear, also known as the horse lance, the painting halberd, and the horse sword, a kind of long-handled sword. The broadsword used by Huaxia was only because the steel technology met the requirements and Ouyang Xuan's experience in later generations that he had a broadsword and modified his own treasure knife (in this book, in order to cater to the reader's impression of Guan Yu, the concept of the broadsword continues to be used).
When Guan Yu saw the horse lance in Bai Yang's hand, the arrogance in his heart decreased a lot. The horse lance is not something that ordinary generals can use, it takes three years to make a gun shaft alone, and the weight is relatively heavy. Bai Yang patted his horse and came to the formation and shouted: "Yang heard the name of General Guan in the Qiang River early, and he is very lucky to be able to win on the battlefield today."
"Doll, don't talk nonsense, take your life", after saying a long knife, his legs knocked the horse's belly hard, and the red rabbit horse rushed forward, Handi is not Huaxia, the horse riding here is not like Huaxia, and the saddle stirrups are complete. Because of the opposition of those Confucian scholars, the things that Ouyang Xuan left behind before he left had already been called alien and abolished. In fact, when Ouyang Xuan was able to kill Lu Bu together, he borrowed the benefits of the saddle stirrup, and Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals of Ouyang Xuan Zai Han were all complete with saddle stirrups. This white yang has to be awarded to Liu De, and the natural saddle stirrup is also complete.
Seeing Guan Yu killing with a knife, Bai Yang was also unambiguous, a horse lance, patting the horse to catch up, the reason why the horse lance is a noble weapon is that its pole is long, difficult to make, plus the blade is long and sharp. When the two horses just met each other, Bai Yang immediately shook his gun, and used the toughness of the horse's rod to seal Guan Yu's forward route. If the long knife parries again, it will definitely be defeated. Today, Guan Yu suffered a loss because he didn't understand the other party and acted rashly.
Guan Yu saw that the gun was so sparkling, he had no choice but to lean back, swinging his knife to slash at the place where the mallet was made, trying to make it change the line. The horse lance is not a hard gun shaft, and the toughness is excellent, and this bump has almost no effect. If it was Ouyang Xuan, he would stick a knife to the mallet, but of course Guan Yu didn't have Ouyang Xuan's experience. The head of the horse lance directly hit Guan Yu's right arm shoulder pad, directly shattering the tiger head shoulder pad. The lance blade slashed through Guan Yu's shoulder, and blood flowed freely. Bai Yang hit the shot, returned the lance, flipped the lance, and took the opportunity of the two horses to stab Guan Yu in the ribs.
Guan Yu's horse speed is extremely fast, Bai Yang calculated the amount of advance according to the usual horse speed, he thought that he would hit the hit, but where did he think that Guan Yu's horse speed was extremely fast, so that this time the thorn failed. Guan Yu crossed by the wrong horse, and in the unintentional battle, the injury on his shoulder seemed to be very serious, so he could only carry a knife in one hand, turned the horse back to his own position, and ordered to return to the city.
Before Bai Yang could order the pursuit, his own camp had already made money. had to return to the main formation, and it was Liu De who gave the order to Mingjin, shaking one arm, standing on the point platform, looking at Bai Yang, who was returning to the camp. Ordered someone to call Bai Yang over, "Do you know why the division ordered the troops to be collected?" ”。
"Disciple doesn't know, please Master Mingxun?"
"The army in the city is strict, the rolling stones are numerous, and the crossbow arrows are like a forest. With three lines of troops and horses, it is not too late to attack again. Now that you have injured Guan Yu, it is already the first achievement. As a teacher, I will not punish you for the crime of disobeying the order and attacking, have you ever been ready to stop the fire? ”。
"It's ready, just wait for Master's order to lead it."
"Tomorrow at dawn, it will be introduced as a teacher to learn the strategy of burning the camp in the summer of that year."
When Guan Yu returned to the city, Chen Gong had already ordered the medical officer to stand by, and in front of the palace yamen, he helped Guan Yu, who was almost collapsed, off the horse. Carried into the back hall, after a detailed examination by the medical officer, the wound had injured the muscles and bones, and the lance blade severed the right collarbone. Because of the pneumothorax, it is still a little difficult for Guan Yu to breathe, and the wound is already somewhat infected. The medical officer shook his head helplessly, and said to Chen Gong: "General Guan's injury, his subordinates really can't treat it, they can only postpone the condition, and today only King Xia and Hua Yang can treat this injury, and Huaxia Guo can treat the general's injury."
Chen Gong pondered for a long time, looked at Guan Yu, who was already in a state of semi-shock, and then gritted his teeth and ordered: "The whole army will go out of the east gate at night and return to Chengdu." "No!" The deacon's chief bookkeeper gave up his promise.
Chen Gong wrote three letters in the bamboo slips, put them into two red cloth bags and a gray linen cloth bag, and said to the deacon's main book: "Quickly send three teams of people, divided into three roads, two bright roads, and one way to report to the king in a dark 800 miles." "No!" The master book was a little puzzled, but looking at Chen Gong's firm eyes, he seemed to understand something, and didn't ask again. I took the note, stamped the wax seal, and went down to arrange.
The time of the White Horse's retreat was chosen at night, out of the east gate, marching rapidly, and after being broken by Guan Xingzhou, he quietly left the White Horse City overnight. Here, Chen Gong and the people had just walked out of fifty miles, and they saw the fire in the White Horse City, the smoke billowing out, and the strong smell of burning oil (the Han word for gasoline) in the air could be smelled by the west wind. Chen Gong was also secretly glad that if it was two hours later, the consequences would be unimaginable, and then ordered the whole army to speed up.
It has been three days since Liu Bei, who was in Jiangxia, got the urgent recital, and he only got the gray linen recital. Through inquiry, Chen Gong took a total of three teams of 800 miles to expedite, two of them held the waist card in an emergency, and wore a red silk helmet to go to the post station to report. There are also three fast horses per person along the way, bypassing the post station and taking the path to report. It was only then that Song Shu was able to report to Jiangxia, and it seems that there were some problems with the other two roads. didn't have time to think about it, Liu Bei hurriedly sent many envoys to Qingzhou and the border passes in southern China to find Ouyang Xuan.
In fact, Ouyang Xuan had already received the letter as soon as Guan Yu was injured, and Zhong Zhao's eyeliner was all over the generals and officials. When Guan Yu was injured and returned to the city, a servant Cao reported to Zhong Zhao through a secret line, and Zhong Zhao reported the situation to Ouyang Xuan as soon as possible. Looking at the injury report, Ouyang Xuan had a headache, this is another figure like Zou Heng.
At night, he brought a full set of surgical instruments, took Huang Tingzhong and fifty guards to sit on a flying saucer, took advantage of the night to come to the sky over Yizhou, searched along the Baima Pass to the south along the Maoqi Road and Wenjiang Road, and saw Liu Bei's soldiers and horses camped outside the city outside the city of Wenshan in Shu County, and it seemed that there were only 100,000 horses.
Ouyang Xuan got off the flying saucer in the valley of Yuhuang Mountain in Wenjiang Road, a hundred miles away in front of the camp, unloaded the surgical instruments, equipped the horses, set up the camp and waited for the arrival of Guan Yu's army here. Guan Yu's army had not yet arrived, but another person came.
