25. Go and dig treasures
From July to September of the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 troops besieged Julu, not only did not break through the Julu City guarded by He Chen, but instead lost countless soldiers, killed more than ten generals in battle, and morale became sluggish. Among them are Lu Kuang, the general who is ready to make meritorious contributions, and Han Rong, the "old gun king" in Hebei's "Four Court Pillars and One Beam". was once one of the eight captains of the West Garden, Chun Yuqiong's brothers, Chun Yu'an and Chun Yupu; Later, the four generals of Qingzhou, Zhang Tai and Xing Lie, and so on.
In the past two months, Yuan Shao's tactics have been innumerable, all of which have been broken one by one. There are conventional siege methods of using catapults, strong crossbows, bows and arrows to open the way, Xuan chariots, Lou chariots, crashing car charges, and a large number of foot soldiers erecting ladders and hook ladders to climb the city. There are also ways to penetrate the secret door and take the sword sideways. There are also tunnels, ditches to divert water, and special methods. Almost everything that is recorded in the art of war has been used once. Even if this is the case, the giant deer is still as stable as Mount Tai and solid as gold.
He Chen loves to ride the "Heavy Armored Battle Tiger" in this battle to defend the city, playing a vital role. If it weren't for its sensitive sense of smell and hearing, it would have been impossible to defuse Yuan Shao's several extremely threatening offensives by giving him a warning in the middle of the night, giving the Bingzhou army time to prepare. The generals were amazed by this, they originally felt a little strange that He Chen rode with a tiger, but now this tiger is so spiritual, which is even more enviable, especially Huang Wudie, who has long regretted his intestines, and hates himself for why he didn't ride another tiger to the battlefield, how majestic it must be? This girl secretly made up her mind that after returning to the annex state this time, she would arm it to the teeth.
In addition to Julu City, Handan City is also very hot.
Yan Liang also did his best, fighting to attack the city day and night. It's just that Wei Yan was too punctual in Hanzhong back then, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops of Wei State, he still didn't let a single soldier come in.
The two cities could not be attacked for a long time, Yuan Shao was helpless, the strategists were worried, and the soldiers were even more complaining.
And at this time, Gongsun Zhan, who was relieved, stabbed Yuan Shao in the back.
Gongsun Zhan regarded the enemy as weak, and the high-level cadres could not attack fiercely, but they were taken advantage of the opportunity to rob the camp and succeed, losing several battles in a row, and the counties of Daijun and Yuyang turned against each other again, and retreated to the boundary bridge in desperation. To add insult to injury, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army took the opportunity to raise troops and connect Keshu County. Fortunately, Xu Yu Qingzhou completed the transfer of troops, supported Gao Gan all the way, and supported Ju Yi all the way, which was able to stabilize the situation. It's just that in this way, Jizhou was attacked on three sides, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban were ready to move, which could be described as embattled, and almost boiled Yuan Shao's hair white.
September, originally a golden autumn festival, is a harvest season, but the north is said to be empty, thousands of miles of red land, most of Jizhou, because of the sun, the river dried up, the fields cracked, the crops were not harvested, and even a few counties, because the government refused to open a warehouse for help, one after another riots and disorders, although the back was suppressed, but let Yuan Shao's heart be blocked in the panic, natural disasters plus [***], so that the ambitious General Yuan, as if suddenly old for ten years, no longer should be full of spirit, pointing out the heroism of the country.
In Jizhou and Youzhou, after a series of major changes, the people's hearts began to fluctuate, and the soldiers had different aspirations.
At the end of the nineties, Yuan Shao's generals Murong Ping and Ouyang Lie rebelled.
According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Murong Ping was a brave general in Hebei, and he was good at using a Wujin lance, but at the foot of the Changban Slope, he was killed by Zhao Yun's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear together with Yang Wei. Ouyang Lie is another general under Yuan Shao's account, his archery skills are superb, when Zhao Yun picked Zhang He with a gun, Murong Ping secretly shot an arrow, which saved Zhang He, and was later killed by Zhao Yun with a green cylinder sword.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was resourceful and indecisive, the two listened to and believed partially, and were dissatisfied. Then he agreed with He Chen on the banner, set fire to the camp after the third watch, and then the state cavalry went out, Huchuquan broke more than ten villages, Yuan's army had no heart to fight, and He Chen, who had been on the defensive, suddenly attacked, and was defeated for dozens of miles. Yuan Shao gathered the remnants of the army, when he was in a dilemma, he was followed by Zhao Yun, Lou Gui, Hu Chuquan cavalry repeatedly rushed to kill, Yuan Shao's troops were defeated like a mountain, and they could not form a soldier, under the protection of their henchmen, they led less than 800 horsemen, and fled from Xindu in embarrassment overnight. Since then, the battle of Julu, which shocked Hebei and had a decisive surname, ended with He Chen's complete victory.
On the Jizhou side, not only did they pay the price of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers' lives, but also the entire territory of southern and western Hebei fell, especially the loss of Julu, an important strategic stronghold, which directly threatened the entire territory of Jizhou. He Chen not only stretched his minions into Hebei, but also from the north of the Yellow River, a large area of fertile areas south of Julu and Guangping completely became his hunting ground and back garden, and he could take it whenever he wanted.
When Yuan Shao retreated, reinforcements from Bingzhou arrived again.
Xun You sent a partial general Lu Chang to lead 8,000 soldiers from the state, 20,000 Hun cavalry from the Fuluo Ju tribe, 5,000 Banton soldiers from Tianxiang, and 10,000 Hu soldiers from the Jitu Department of the Qiang tribe in Shangjun. Completely unite the lines of defense. Under the eight paths of Taihang, a peripheral chain defense line of Julu, Rencheng, Handan and Yecheng has been completely formed, which can be attacked and defended. Since then, the strategic goal of sending troops to Jizhou has been completely completed.
Subsequently, He Chen asked the general Wei Yan to lead 50,000 troops to guard the giant deer; The junior general Wang Ling led 5,000 troops to Rencheng; Yamen general Zhao Jun led 10,000 into Handan, and Zhonglang general Ma Yu led 20,000 to Zha Yecheng. He led a few pieces and Tianxiang Meimei to return to the state.
It's just that before returning to Merge State, there was one thing that was left to do, and He Chen's heart was itchy and uncomfortable, and he was restless.
That's the "Yellow Turban Treasure." ”
The gold and silver treasures in it are important, but the "Nine Scepters" are more important, Lao Tzu can't get the "Tianyu Phoenix Spear" and "Yellow Emperor Sword" now, how to take the "Taishan Mansion Jun Scepter" town scene said.
The "Yellow Turban Treasure" is located on the Kongshan Mountain at the southern end of the Baiyun Mountains in Xiangguo, Quang Binh County. As for the specific location of the treasure, the system does not prompt, only gives a rough drawing, in other words, you can find it yourself.
This time, He Chen led thousands of people and horses to Baiyun Mountain.
To say that this Baiyun Mountain Range is composed of three mountains and one gorge. The three mountains are Baiyun Mountain, Xiaoxitian, and Lingxiao Mountain, and one gorge is Heping Gorge. And Kongshan Mountain is according to the main peak of Baiyun. It is said that when the mountain wind hits, the whole mountain will emit bursts of roaring sound, so the local people call this mountain "empty mountain", also known as Kongshan. When he arrived at the foot of Kongshan Mountain, He Chen's heart was half cold. This mountain stretches for several miles, the pine forest covers the sky, although the green peak is quite beautiful, the white clouds rise and fall, lush and verdant, very magnificent. But it's so big, how can Lao Tzu find that treasure?
Seeing He Chen looking up at the lush and green mountains there, sometimes in a daze, sometimes sighing, Tianxiang couldn't help but twist his waist slightly, and came step by step, spitting out sound beads, mellow and pleasant: "What is the general worried about?" ”
He Chen looked back at the hot outside, actually dignified and elegant Banton Toast, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "A few days ago, when I was counting in the Julu treasury, I found a map of Tibetan soldiers left by Zhang Jiao at that time, it is said that it is full of fine steel, armor, and weapons, and you also know that General Ben likes these things the most, so I took advantage of the rare time to explore the situation." Let's see if we can find this hiding hole. He Chen hesitated, and finally kept a hand, not because he couldn't believe in Tianxiang, but to prevent accidents from happening, in case they leaked out, treasures, property, who doesn't like ordinary people?
Tianxiang was still wearing a lapel of purple satin and a cyan over-the-knee robe, a green silk belt tied around the waist of the water snake, revealing white calves underneath, and a pair of pony boots. A long black and shiny hair, combed into dozens of small even braids, tied up and put into the braid sleeve behind the back. Two long round earrings hang from his ears, and a colorful collar strung with silver and white pearls around his neck.
Even though He Chen has seen it countless times, he is still shaken and sighs every time.
Tianxiang seemed to be convinced of He Chen's words, and said with a smile: "On the treasure map, there should be any hints, right?" ”
"Hint?" He Chen was stunned, he really didn't pay attention to this small detail. I hurriedly called up the drawings in my head, and carefully looked at them, but I didn't find any clues.
"General, do you remember?" Tianxiang mistakenly thought that He Chen was thinking back to the drawings he had seen, and asked with some concern.
"It's nothing special, it's just a rough line, and nothing else." He Chen said a little depressed.
"That's not a clue?" Tianxiang was a little happy, and a pair of deeply charming dimples appeared on her faint smiling face.
"But this painting is just a few lines and a few mountains with charcoal." To be honest, He Chen's three-dimensional sense is not very strong, and he can't connect a few lines and a few simple peaks with the verdant mountains and white clouds in front of him.
Tianxiang was helpless, so she could only continue: "It's better to be like this, general, you can draw the picture you have written down and let your subordinates see it, maybe there is something you can do." ”
He Chen's eyes lit up, and he almost wanted to pat himself on the head, why was he so confused all of a sudden? Tianxiang and her Banton clan are all crawling out of the deep mountains and old forests, even if they are facing unfamiliar mountains and forests, they can find a way out with their eyes closed. I should have asked her for a long time ago.
Soon, He Chen followed the map in his mind and worked hard to draw it on the ground with branches.
Tianxiang looked at He Chen's graffiti-style map very carefully and carefully, except for a few lines, it was a duck egg-shaped mountain.
He Chen's old face was rarely red, this was really a shame to be thrown into his grandmother's house, and letting Lao Tzu write and paint was more uncomfortable than robbing his own treasure woman. Secretly glanced at Tianxiang with her spare eyes, and saw that this beauty looked up at the distant peaks very seriously, and lowered her mind to think, her serious expression was even more beautiful and moving. No wonder some people say that men who do things seriously are the most handsome, and women are the most beautiful, He Chen praised in his heart.
