361 Eight Door Golden Locks
No matter how stupid Yuan Shao is, he will not just listen to Yan Liang's words and conclude that Xin Ping has defected to the enemy, he asked: "There is no evidence for empty words?" โ
Yan Liang tilted his head towards Han Meng, "General Han Meng can be a witness. In addition, the last general also had the confession of the same party in the army. After speaking, he handed a stack of Shencai paper to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao took a look at it, and the confession was written in black and white, depicting the process of Xin Ping's betrayal of the military intelligence clearly, and a handprint was stamped at the end as evidence. After reading it again, his anger came out at once, "Come on, go and call me Xin Ping." I'll see what he has to say. โ
Guo Tu said at the right time, "I'm afraid the lord won't be able to find Xin Ping!" โ
"Huh? The public rule says that there is no mistake in this statement, and that .q "uleโฎdu. meaning? โ
Guo Tu said expressionlessly: "Before I came, I sent someone to find Xin Ping." After several searches, it was found that he and Xin Bi were not in the tent, and someone saw him dragging his family and the child to Dazhai immediately and went to the south. โ
"To the south?" Yuan Shao was stunned.
"I guess I absconded in fear of crime." Guo Tu continued: "Except for him, most of the people on the list are not in the account, and even Xun Kan is gone. โ
"What?" Yuan Shao stood stunned on the spot, "Why don't you send someone to chase after you?" โ
Guo Tu glanced at Yan Liang secretly, "What are you two doing kneeling here?" Didn't you hear what the lord said? Quickly lead the troops to rob Xun Kan and Xin comment on them! โ
Yan Liang understood, knowing that he was defeated, Guo Tu took the opportunity to invite himself out of the big tent to save Yuan Shao from regretting. Thinking of this, he gave Guo Tu a grateful look, and led Han Meng away without saying a word.
He didn't know that his line of work was doomed to be fruitless. Xun Kan and the time they went south were all calculated in advance by Xu You and Guo Tu. At the moment when Guo Tu stepped into Yuan Shao's tent, Xu You had already led more than 20 virtuous people on the big ship heading south.
After Yan Liang and Guo Tu left the Chinese army's tent one after another, Yuan Shao read the list of traitors presented by Guo Tu from beginning to end, and the twenty-six people written on it, except for the frustrated ones, all left.
He looked dejected, eager to tear the names of these ungrateful people in his hand to shreds, but stopped when he saw the word "frustrated" again. "Why is everyone else gone, but he is not the only one? Why? Is it because he has no contact with Luan Yi at all, or does he still want to stay in the army and continue to turn over the clouds? He was a traitor or a loyal servant. โ
During this time, Yuan Shao was frightened by the pervasive infiltration of the church's fine work, and everyone was the church's fine work. So in this tangle against Frustration, the balance in his heart began to tilt in favor of the traitor. It's just that because there is no evidence of frustration and treason in his hands, he did not punish frustration, but once again deprived him of his rights, and promoted him from the commander of the Chinese army to the secretary, and demoted from the supreme commander of the Chinese army to a knife and pen officer. He was given the post of general of Fenwu and demoted to the rank of lieutenant of Pingbei.
Last time, he was demoted by Yuan Shao by two levels. finally reinstated the official under the help of Tian Feng, but this time he was demoted by three levels in a fit of anger and became a lieutenant-level deputy who did not enter the stream, not to mention entering the hall to plan a big plan, and even the military power was completely deprived. Frustration has suffered a series of ups and downs, and the feelings of loss, depression and disappointment can be imagined.
The book is divided into two ends and one on each side.
It is said that Luan Yi heard that Qingzhou was attacked by Yuan's army, and immediately ordered Lu Zhi to garrison Guandu, supplemented by Xu Shu, and led the 40,000 troops of Yuzhou and Yanzhou to hold the key point of Hebei breaking into Yanzhou. He led 45,000 members of the central army of the church to aid Qingzhou in the starry night.
On the sixth day of the march, Luan Yi's army had just crossed the border of Qingzhou in Dongpingling County, Jinan, when Guo Jia sent an urgent report, saying: Qingzhou Yuan's army has only more than 40,000 people, and has now been defeated by Lu Bu's Qingzhou Shengxiong army, 40,000 Yuan troops are either dead or captured, and the main general Yan Liang is defeated and returned to Hebei. Guo Jia also told Luan Yi that the men and horses commanded by Yan Liang were obviously not the main vanguard of the Yuan army, but just pawns for feints. The focus of Yuan's attack should not be in Qingzhou, I am afraid that it is still in Yanzhou.
I learned that I took more than 40,000 people to travel 80 miles a day and finally arrived in Qingzhou, but I pounced, and Luan Yiden was a big head. He glanced back at the exhausted church guards, and wanted to camp in place for a few days, but he received an urgent report from Lu Zhi from Yanzhou - signs of the march of the Yuan soldiers of the brigade had just been found near Baima, north of Guandu, and the person who came should be the vanguard of the Yuan army, about 30,000 people, although the number of soldiers and horses was not large, but the camp was indeed not small, at least able to accommodate more than 100,000 people.
Luan Yifang knew Yuan Shao's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. At the same time, he also sighed that since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has changed a lot of history, and he originally thought that the Battle of Guandu would disappear on the new historical journey, but he never thought that he would go around a big circle and finally leave a node here. It's just that the two sides of the confrontation have changed from the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to the battle of Luan Yi and Yuan Shao.
It's no wonder. In terms of geographical location, Guandu is an important port from Jizhou to Yanzhou, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. In addition, Yuan Shao's base camp Yecheng is the closest to Guandu, and the supply of soldiers is the most convenient for the transportation of grain, grass and baggage. Therefore, it is only natural to choose it as a frontier base camp.
But after thinking about it, Luan Yi had doubts in his heart again, and secretly thought: What if Yuan Jun set up a false camp tent in Baima? When his army arrived at Guandu, he pressed the army to the boundary of Qingzhou...... With Lu Bu's 20,000 horses in Qingzhou, it would be difficult to resist the invasion of hundreds of thousands of troops. At that time, he had to lead the army to Qingzhou in a hurry. So tired of running, where does the army still have the strength to fight?
He threw this question to Xun You, Chen Gong and Mao Jue, who accompanied the military divisions, and Chen Gong said: "It is not unreasonable for the sect leader to worry about it. However, Lu Yuzhou has rich experience, and his judgment will not be wrong, and Yuan Shao's army will be in Guandu. Our troops should rush to support. โ
Luan Yi also admired Lu Zhi a lot, so he nodded to Chen Gong and asked Xun You, "What does Gongda think?" โ
Xun Yu questioned. He said: "It's not that I don't trust Lu Tingshi, but I just feel that this matter is related to the overall situation and the lives of millions of people in the diocese. It is not safe to rely on the accuracy of one person's judgment on such a big matter. โ
"What does Gongda think? Is it to stand by in place, or to rush to the aid of Guandu? โ
Xun You said unhurriedly: "It is inevitable to rush to Guandu. It's just that we can slow down the march, and if Lu Tingshi comes to report that Baima does have more than 100,000 Yuan troops, it will not be too late for our army to step up its march. If Qingzhou is in a hurry with Lu Tingshi, we will not travel much, so we will turn around and rush back to Qingzhou. This gives you the best of both worlds. In addition, slowing down the march also allowed our tired guards to rest and regain their strength. โ
Luan Yi felt that Xun You's statement was more safe, so he followed his words. On the same day, he replenished grain and grass in the nearest county town and slowly rushed to Guandu.
After three days of marching, Lu Zhi reported 800 miles urgently, "Yuan Shao's army of the third route claimed to be 160,000 people arrived in Baima, and now the vanguard forced the camp to less than five miles away from Guandu." The military situation is urgent, and I hope that the sect leader will return to help as soon as possible. โ
Luan Yi didn't dare to hesitate more, and immediately gave the order to march quickly. He didn't secretly sweat for Lu Zhi who was in Guandu, Yuan Shao had an army of 160,000, but Lu Zhi only had 40,000 troops, and the difference in strength was four times. Can this old general hold the official crossing?
To Luan Yi's surprise, Lu Zhi and Xu Shu, who were in Guandu, never worried that they would lose Guandu. On the contrary, Yuan Shao was very frightened by the heavy defense they had laid out.
On the surface, the church official camp jointly built by Lu Zhi and Xu Shu looks like the square battalion most commonly used in plain warfare. If you look down from a high place, you will find the difference, the square camp they laid out is composed of several small square camps, which can be described as "camp within a camp", which is dense and dense. According to the number of people, each small battalion also sets up teams at the spacing of one person and one step, so as to "accommodate the team within the team". There are corridors between teams and battalions, and there are special water channels to defend against fire attacks in the marginal areas, which extend in all directions in layers, like a labyrinth. Outsiders can't talk about fighting when they go in, and they can't get out.
The layout of this inconspicuous on the outside, but ever-changing on the inside is the legendary eight-door golden lock.
The center of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is the location of the main tent of the Chinese army, and around the main tent is a large warehouse where grain and baggage are stored. Around the outermost periphery of the camp is a tall walled with sand and soil, with a wood-based corner tower built inside the wall, which is higher than the wall, and the crossbowmen in the corner tower can cooperate with the robe on the wall to form a dense cross-sectional arrow array. The lethality is amazing.
When Yuan Shao's army first arrived in Guandu, he suffered a big loss in this arrow array. He relied on the strength of the crowd, and as soon as he arrived at Guandu, he launched a strong attack on the church camp.
The 30,000 pioneers were mighty, waving their flags and shouting, carrying ladders, pushing and rushing carts to the camp. When they were a hundred steps away from the wall, they only heard a gong, and thousands of arrows rained down on them like a summer rainstorm. In just one round of arrowfire, more than 2,000 Yuan troops were killed. Yuan Jun resisted the rain of arrows before rushing out 20 paces away, and the second round of arrows came again, losing more than 2,000 lives...... He didn't take two steps before a third round of arrows fell from the sky......
Seeing that the robes around him were sieved one by one, and then looked at the wall fifty steps away, Yuan Jun was scared, and his pace slowed down a little unconsciously. As a result, the speed was slower, and it took more arrows. More and more people died, and before they could touch the inner defense line of Yuan Bing under the city, they were defeated, covering their heads and holding their heads.
The church guards took the opportunity to shoot again. In the first battle of the same day, the church shot tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers without spending a single soldier.
Yuan Shao was furious when he lost a lot of people in vain, but there was no way to take the iron bucket-like church Dazhai.
In desperation, he sent the general Wen Chou to the church village to scold, shouting how ugly the scolding was.
And Lu Zhi turned a deaf ear to these foul words, and drank tea and read books in the village by himself, enjoying himself. He originally wanted to wait for Wen Chou's scolding to have no effect for a few days, and he would retreat if he knew it was boring. But he never thought that Zhang Fei was scolded by Wen Chou, and rushed to Lu Zhi's tent to stalk and fight with Wen Chou.
Lu Zhi refused without hesitation, but Zhang Fei prickly pestered him and didn't let go, sprinkling and rolling as much as he could, grinding him out of the way.
