Chapter 246 The food is exhausted to calm the army's heart
Cao Cao led the rear army to kill, and Lu Bu's daughter had disappeared into the vast mountains, Cao Cao angrily jumped to his feet and scolded: "I never thought that Ji Ling won the hearts of the army." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info thought that Ji Ling was killed in battle, the morale of the enemy army plummeted, and it was easy to break through the martial arts. Ji Ling's death further aroused the ferocity of the enemy army. ”
Cao Cao loved Ji Ling deeply and hated it. Such a fierce general was not used by him, and he also turned his big array upside down, and finally let Lu Lingqi break through, otherwise Lu Lingqi would be captured alive and Lu Bu would be banned. In the end, he could only accept the reality, and the indescribable taste turned into a sigh: "As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog son, and the daughter of Lu Bu does not reduce the power of the hero." ”
Yuan Jian saw Cao Cao praising Lu Bu's daughter, and stepped forward and said: "Lu Bu has no children, loves his daughter very much, and will not easily make it to danger. ”
Cao Cao hesitated, Yuan Lian was originally Lu Bu's old staff, and he only joined him when he captured Lu Bu in Xiapi Cao Cao, and now Lu Bu's power is in full swing, Cao Cao suspects that Yuan Lian has the heart to return to the old master, and retorted: "The sharp has been broken, the hearts of the people are uneasy, the sky is getting late, and the future will be planned." ”
Yuan Jian was slightly disappointed, if someone else said this, maybe Cao Cao would soon wave his army to attack the problem. Looking at the columns of soldiers retreating towards Shangluo City, Yuan Jian sighed, Cao Cao missed this opportunity.
"Where is Xu Huang?" Cao Cao shouted at the crowd.
"The end will be."
"You take your troops to block the intersections in front of Wuguan, and Hugh wants to let Lu Lingqi enter the customs."
"Whoa." Xu Huang received the order and led the soldiers to Wuguan to block the intersection.
"Lejin led an army to search in Shangshan, and no one was allowed to go to Tongtong Pass." Cao Cao unfolded the map and said.
Xun You asked: "The prime minister suspects that Lu Lingqi will turn over and cross the ridge to Tongguan?" ”
"Not bad. Wuguan is in the mountains, it is the important town of the pre-Qin, except for this ancient road can go straight to the pass, the rest are all cliffs and cliffs, there is no way to find. Zhang Xi's soldier reported: Lu Lingqi threatened to enter Wuguan from the trail, and I knew that she was planning to attack the east and the west, and her real intention was to go to Hongnong, go around Huashan and return to Tongguan. Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, Lu Lingqi was too tender in front of his old treacherous and cunning, he could see it at a glance, Lu Lingqi couldn't escape from his palm.
――――――――――――――
Lu Lingqi broke through the encirclement, hid in the dense forest, and soon searched in the direction of Wuguan, she caught up with the previous troops. After counting, Ji Ling's soldiers plus the 1,000 defenders she brought out, a total of 2,000 people, now there are less than 500 people in total, plus more than 200 people in the women's battalion, and the combined army is only more than 700.
Lu Lingqi took the soldiers to find a cliff, looked at Wuguan from afar, and saw a dense Cao soldier in front of the pass, her brows were slightly furrowed, she knew that Cao Cao was doing this to bluff and not let her return to Wuguan. And Lu Lingqi never thought about returning to Wuguan, even if his seven hundred people returned to Wuguan, it would be difficult to change the overall situation, so it was better to be free as a surprise soldier.
The only thing she is worried about is her mother in the pass, she has to let her mother know that she is still alive, and it is impossible to send a letter back to the pass, so she can only find another way.
"Prepare to set fire to the message. Go find a long vine and let the wind blow my flag into the sky. Lu Lingqi thought about it, fixed the flag with branches, tied a long vine, and blew the flag into the air with the help of the strong wind on the top of the mountain, and the first kite in history came out.
"Beacon? Is that a beacon? ”
When the defenders saw the smoke rising into the sky in the vast distant mountains, they wondered, who would run to the cliff of the lonely mountain to set fire?
Yan Lin, who had been quietly waiting at the gate, followed the direction pointed by the soldiers, and in the thick smoke, a distinctive flag slowly rose in the sky.
"Ling'er, it's Ling'er......" Yan Lin grabbed Diao Chan's arm tightly, her face full of tears. This flag was woven by her own hands, and although she could not read the words on it clearly, she would not be mistaken. Lu Lingqi is a female general without an official position, and the flag is very different from other people's flags, and she recognizes it at a glance.
"Madame, don't get excited, be careful of the fetal gas." Diao Chan held Yan Lin, and left a shocking mark on Yan Lin's excited grasp on his arm.
"General Ji is fine!" Zhang Hu shouted loudly, Lu Lingqi is fine, and Ji Ling should be okay too. The morale of the defenders was immediately high.
Lu Lingqi reported a letter to Wuguan, and she was at a loss. Her opponent was Cao Cao, whom even her father feared, and now she had to face it alone, and the pressure in her heart was self-evident. She didn't know if Cao Cao had already seen through her strategy, and was setting up a big net waiting for her.
And she came out eagerly, Ji Ling originally led the army out to meet Lei Bo, but she didn't bring military rations, the soldiers were hungry, and they didn't look for anything for them to eat, and they couldn't wait for Cao Cao's soldiers to enter the mountain, they fled first. Now if you want to appease the army and avenge Ji Ling, you can only inspire the soldiers to fight the same enemy.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi ordered someone to carry Ji Ling's corpse forward, and stood beside Ji Ling's corpse and saluted respectfully, with a solemn expression. She was unable to safely transport Ji Ling's body back to Wuguan, and said: "The enemy army closed the road, and we are unable to protect General Ji's body, so in order not to be insulted by the Cao army, we will temporarily bury it here, and after we break the Cao army and avenge General Ji Ling, General Yuming Fuguo will move it away and bury it separately!" ”
"General Ji's blood revenge must be avenged! Cao Jun will be repaid with blood! Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth, and hatred flashed in her eyes: "There is no food in the army, for the revenge of General Ji, I will wait for the wild fruit to be hungry, and I will not give up!" ”
All the soldiers had a look of hatred in their eyes, and they were determined to fight Cao Jun to the death.
The soldiers dug a pit on the spot, reluctantly wrapped Ji Ling's body in leather, put it into the pit, and sprinkled a handful of mud and sand into the pit one by one...... A general under the mound is laid to rest here.
After burying Ji Ling, the soldiers were depressed and looked for wild vegetables and fruits in the panicked mountains with a heavy heart. Originally, there were countless wild beasts in the mountains and forests, but it was a bit difficult to hunt to satisfy hunger. After a day of fighting, the soldiers crossed the mountains and mountains, and were exhausted, so they stuffed wild vegetables and fruits into their stomachs indiscriminately, and fell into a deep sleep. Lu Lingqi held the crescent halberd, closed her eyes, and couldn't sleep because of the anxiety in her heart.
This night, she thought a lot, but she couldn't come up with a way to break the enemy. Lu Xun's face flashed in her mind, and she didn't know if he would be sad if he heard that she had died in battle.
This night, not only Lu Lingqi couldn't sleep, but Cao Cao in Shangluo City faintly felt a little headache, and it seemed that the head stroke was about to recur. After returning to the camp and thinking about it for a while, I felt that Yuan Lian's suggestion to fight quickly and not give the Wuguan defenders a chance to kick in was very correct. It's too late to regret it now, and we can only wait for tomorrow's onslaught.
There was a lot of mourning in Shangluo City, and countless Cao soldiers pushed to the people's houses in the city and took out the wood to make siege equipment. More Cao soldiers took the opportunity to plunder in the city, and the people hated what Cao Jun had done, and their hearts gradually leaned towards Lu Bujun, who had committed no crimes and was notorious.
