Chapter 139: Managing Hai by Success, Collecting Good Talents
Lu County was attacked by the Yellow Turban army for five consecutive days, and the defenders in the city were exhausted, Kong Rong and others could be said to have looked through Su Chen's army, but they still didn't see a single reinforcement, and even the scouts sent out to inquire did not have any news back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such an abnormal situation cast another shadow on the bleak mood of the defenders in the city, no one knows when the Yellow Turbans will enter the city, robbing them of food, property, and women, the Yellow Turbans have always been burning, killing and looting, if Lu County is also broken, of course, it cannot be avoided.
After several days of bombardment, the city wall of Lu County has become precarious, many places have been smashed out of traces, and even cracked, and the original city gate has long become dilapidated, if it is not for the rolling wood and stone to block the city gate, I am afraid that the yellow turban would have rushed in.
With a sufficient supply of grain and grass, Guan Hai seemed to be able to attack the city this time, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so he seemed to have figured out some taste.
When he besieged Guangxian, Su Chen's army arrived in time and killed him to a great defeat, and then frequently sent light cavalry to rob the camp and drove him to Beihai, and after he broke through Zhu Xu, Su Chen's light cavalry immediately disappeared without a trace, obviously the other party intended to drive him to Beihai, although I don't know what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, but for Guan Hai, as long as he obeys the other party's intentions, he may be able to get some benefits.
To this day, he also saw that it was only a matter of time before the other party wanted to eat it, and he had not done it for a long time, thinking that he was still useful, not afraid of being used, afraid of uselessness, he could be used by the other party, which showed that he was still valuable, and this was also his last chance.
After coercing the people of Zhuxu County, he already had 300,000 soldiers under his command, and the rest were all old, weak, women and children.
The effect is naturally surprisingly good, the yellow turban soldiers who eat well and rest well burst out with strong combat effectiveness, and emotions can be contagious, when those yellow turbans in Zhuxu County were still a little reluctant in the first second, the next second they also had the opportunity to become a member of the robbery army, and they broke out with an alternative passion, human nature is so complicated.
They were originally good citizens, obedient to the people, the arrival of the Yellow Turban made their family ruined and had to submit, but it is precisely because of this that the brutal gene in their hearts was activated, allowing them to complete the transformation from a good citizen to a thug, and even this transformation is the change they are striving for, that is, it is by virtue of this transformation that the Yellow Turban can grow rapidly, because there will never be a shortage of people with the seeds of ambition buried in their hearts in this world.
Six teams attacked the city in a row, the city gate was already in danger, Guan Hai judged the situation, today, 150,000 people were pressed, like an ant-like army gathered under the city tower, a group of people in the dark, seeing the soldiers defending the city on the city tower kept swallowing saliva, obviously such a large formation caused them great psychological pressure.
"Brothers, go into the city, grab food, grab money, rob women, kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! ”
With Guan Hai's order, 150,000 troops swarmed up, ladders, well rails, and even rushing vehicles were all moved up by Guan Hai, and today's decisive battle is imminent.
Kong Rong was given a heavy responsibility by King Kang, and personally climbed the city tower to inspect, and he was followed by Wu Anguo, the first fierce general in Beihai.
Seeing the Yellow Turban charging fearlessly, Kong Rong frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Bahou, how long do you think we can hold on?" ”
Wu Anguo also looked worriedly at the listless soldiers on the city tower and the high-spirited rebels outside the city, and plucked up the courage to say: "Lord, from the perspective of his subordinates, I am afraid that within three days, Lu County will be broken." ”
"Three days?" Kong Rong thought that he could hear comforting words from the other party's mouth, but he didn't expect this answer to make him even more worried, Lu County is the base camp of the Kong family, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, thinking of this, he commanded Wu Anguo: "Bahou, you take my warrant, go to the house to find the housekeeper, and take five thousand private soldiers from him to help defend the city!" ”
"No!"
These days, Kong Rong has continuously withdrawn 20,000 private soldiers from the family, even if the Kong family has a great cause, most of the 20,000 private soldiers died on the city tower, which is enough to break the bones, this last 5,000 private soldiers may be the last thing he can do for Lu County, if he really can't hold it, he will start to think about retreat.
Wu Anguo led 5,000 elite private soldiers to climb the city tower, guarded his post, and did not let a yellow turban soldier climb the city wall.
Compared with the county soldiers, the private soldiers are obviously well-trained, which is also the wisdom of the family, after all, the private soldiers are their private property, which is related to their net worth and life, so they are willing to invest money to train vigorously.
It's just that the general trend has gone, and the five thousand private soldiers have not caused much obstacle to Guan Hai, and when Guan Hai is replaced by the other three new forces, Lu County has reached the last moment.
Kong Rong didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and the matter had come to this point, he couldn't care about King Kang, and immediately instructed Wu Anguo: "Bahou, you quickly escort the Confucian family to break through from the east gate and go to Donglai for temporary refuge, where is the Kong family's property, the housekeeper will tell you what to do." ”
"Lord, what about you?" Wu Anguo was obviously not worried that Kong Rong would stay in the city alone.
"You don't have to worry about me here, I have to go to King Kang's mansion to report the news, don't worry, I will follow King Kang to find you."
"No!"
Just as Wu Anguo left, the Yellow Turban army had gradually climbed the city tower, and the fighting on the city tower was fierce, Kong Rong rode a fast horse to King Kang's mansion under the escort of the family's private soldiers, but saw that King Kang's mansion had already packed up and was ready to leave at any time.
Kong Rong said tacitly: "Lord Wang, the thieves are strong, Lu County can no longer hold it, we must break through immediately and go to Donglai for temporary refuge." ”
"This king listens to Mr." King Kang is a smart person, and he knows that he must rely on Kong Rong at this time, otherwise he will not be able to break through so smoothly.
The palace guards naturally would not be consumed in the battle to defend the city, and under the escort of the palace guards and the Kong family's private soldiers, Kong Rong and King Kang successfully broke through from the east gate and went to Donglai.
Most of the guests in Kong Rong's mansion fled with them, but a few people resolutely stayed, Guan Ning and Bingyuan were also going to flee, but the tiger guards left behind by Hua Xin told them that Su Chen's army would arrive in an instant, so let them hide at home and not be afraid.
As for Sun Wei and Wang Xu, their families are here, and they have been repeatedly assured by Huwei, and they have also "righteously" rejected Kong Rong's invitation and are ready to live and die with Lu County.
Guan Hai broke through the West Gate, overjoyed, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves instantly lost their formation, turned into thieves in the city to burn and rob, the people were miserable, from noon to night, the yellow scarves were all wrapped around their waists, and the harvest was very rich.
Just when Guan Haizhi was full of pride and was about to rest here, a light cavalry of Ximen suddenly entered the city, defeated many Yellow Turban soldiers who robbed the finances along the way, and went straight to the palace.
"Report !!! General, Ximen suddenly killed a cavalry, our brothers were defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and are now coming towards the palace! ”
Hearing the herald's words, Guan Hai secretly scolded the bad luck, but he also knew that he knew that he and the others would not be able to gain a foothold here, so he had to order: "Brothers, withdraw from the east gate!" ”
"Yes!"
This light cavalry is Zhang Liao's Han Ying, Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei each led a soldier and horse, after entering the city, when they saw the Yellow Turban soldiers, they opened a killing ring, killing these Yellow Turban soldiers lost their armor, and the discarded property and cloth could be seen everywhere on the street, but Su Chen's military orders were strict, and no one dared to pick them up.
Immediately after Zhang Fei, it was Ju Yi's first dead soldier, and behind him was Su Chennai's army from Xu Huang, as for the wolf horse, he had already ambushed at the east gate, ready to give Guan Hai a surprise attack, you must know that Lu County is rich, and Guan Hai has robbed a lot of property, and such a material certainly makes him tempted.
After Su Chen entered the city, he immediately ordered Xu Huang to clean up the order in the city, arrest all the scattered yellow scarves, and kill any ruffians who ran around the streets.
At the same time, he asked Tao Qiuhong to write a notice for Anmin, and the next morning, when the people hiding at home went out, they saw the notice of Anmin, and learned that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court had driven the Yellow Turban thieves out of the city, so they were relieved, and even some people offered Su Chen the tablet of immortality at home.
Since Guan Hai didn't stay in the city for much time, he only robbed the big families in the city, and for the ordinary people, there was no harm, which was also Su Chen's intention.
At noon, the wolf rode back and brought back countless property, all of which were discarded by the Guanhai army, the wolf rode successfully played a shepherd, driving hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans all the way to the east, and the yellow turban soldiers who were originally wrapped in their waists had not had time to enjoy it, they were chased and killed by the wolf horse, not to mention the property, even the weapons were dropped, if it weren't for Su Chen's order not to chase too fiercely, I am afraid that the yellow turban would have been scattered long ago, and then I could only capture prisoners all over the mountains.
After living in the original palace, Su Chen said to Hua Xin: "Ziyu, where are the few talents you said now?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Commander Zhu." Hua Xin said and looked at Zhu Gongdao.
Zhu Gongdao immediately replied: "My lord, the brothers of the Tiger Guard have come to report, and the gentlemen who the military advisor let us protect are all safe and sound, and they are now rushing to the palace." ”
"It should be Ben Hou who came to visit him personally." It stands to reason that he should be like this, but once he came to the city, order had not been fully restored, and there were four people, and it was impossible for him to visit them one by one. ”
"No!"
After a while, the tiger guard escorted the four people one after another, and when Su Chen heard it, he immediately greeted him.
