Chapter 500: The Battle of Daijun (6)

The general hidden near the camp of Kebineng was dressed in a white robe, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows, although his hair looked a little gray, but he still did not lose his demeanor, this person was the right general of the Han Dynasty, and Shi Pound, the assassin of the state. ◇↓，

Originally, Pang De was stationed in Lishi in Shangjun, and the purpose was naturally to defend Guo Huai in Taiyuan, which was not far away, but this time Pang De boldly led an army of 20,000 and galloped hundreds of miles to Guangwu, originally preparing to lay an ambush here, and launch an ambush after the defeat of Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen, but later he got an order from Emperor Liu Qi, asking Pang De to first wait and see the fire between Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen, and then take the opportunity to attack, so that he could win the battle at a more smiling price. And it can weaken the opponent's power to the greatest extent.

At first, Pang De was still skeptical about whether there could be a fire between Kebineng and Budugen, but he didn't expect that as soon as they came here, there would be such an incident as Kebineng killing Budugen, and he couldn't help but admire Liu Qi, and immediately decided to lead the army to launch a fierce attack on Kebineng's camp.

In fact, the reason why Liu Qi was able to judge that the two sides would be on fire this time, in addition to having some understanding of Bu Dugen and Kebineng's personalities, the rest was a fluke, because in the history he knew, he vaguely remembered that the two had an experience of cooperating against Cao Wei, and later Kebi Neng killed Bu Dugen after the defeat, because with his arrival, history has changed, so even he is not so sure, so in the order issued to Pang De, there are also two situations, That is, there was a fire and there was no fire, but now that the scene of the fire merger really appeared, Pang De naturally ignored Liu Qi's judgment that there was no fire and merger, so as to express his admiration for Liu Qi's accurate prediction.

Looking at the chaotic Xianbei army camp not far away with his "clairvoyance", Pound knew that now was the best time to attack. So he decisively gave the order to attack, only to hear the sound of swishing breaking through the air, the Han soldiers shot rockets into the messy Xianbei camp, and then saw that the entire Xianbei camp turned into a sea of fire, and the Xianbei soldiers who were already feeling uneasy because of the accident immediately fell into a greater panic.

As a result, the eyes were full of frightened horses and panicked crowds. Occasionally, there were rebukes from some generals.

And at this time, the soldiers of the Xianbei tribe suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves neatly, and then saw a murderous cavalry holding spears and swords, surrounded from the west, south and north, and saw a middle-aged general in a white robe in the center, put the spear in his hand into the air, and shouted: "The white horse general Pang De is here, you can surrender quickly, you can save your life." Otherwise, our army will ride through the place, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”

After hearing Pound's shout, the surrounding Xianbei soldiers were suddenly frightened and their legs were weak, because Pound had been guarding the northern border for more than ten years, whether it was his personal bravery or the level of commanding troops, he was frightened by the surrounding ethnic groups and tribes, and now such a god-like figure actually came to them, how not to make them feel afraid?

What's more, the white horse general didn't just shout slogans. He also led a large army to launch a frenzied massacre into the camp. The Xianbei soldiers around him couldn't resist Pound's gun at all, and they saw the spear dancing. Or like a thunderbolt, or like a trickle, or like a dragon, or like a spirit snake, every swing will take the life of at least one enemy general, under this round of charge. Pound alone killed hundreds of people.

At this time, Kebineng's son-in-law, Yu Zhuge Jian, relied on his bravery, and when he saw Pang De so brave, he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Bold Pound, dare to violate my border for no reason." Kill my soldiers, how can there be no one in your eyes? Hugh go, eat me a shot. ”

Yu Zhuge Jian said as he held the spur, and when he finished speaking, he had already stabbed Pang De's chest, which was actually no different from a sneak attack.

But Pound didn't have a trace of panic at all, I saw him lightly dodge a shot from Yu Zhugejian, and then grabbed the opponent's gun with his left hand, and at the same time, the spear in his right hand stabbed out like lightning, hitting the opponent's throat, only to hear a muffled snort, Yu Zhugejian's body fell to the ground softly like a puddle of mud.

Yu Zhuge was eighteen years old, and his bravery was famous throughout the Xianbei tribe, and he was a famous warrior among the Xianbei tribe, but he didn't expect that his subordinates on the side would die in less than one round, which shows how terrible Pang De's courage should be?

Therefore, seeing that Pound was so brave, those Xianbei soldiers all lost the courage to resist, and fled one after another, or surrendered on their knees, and for a while they saw the entire camp trampled on the men and horses, and there were countless casualties.

And Pound is taking the opportunity to kill, and at the same time try to collect those surrendered soldiers, these grassland people have lived on horseback since childhood, the art of controlling horses is unparalleled in the world, as long as they are restrained and trained, they will soon be able to train a first-class elite cavalry, with such convenient conditions, how can Pound not know how to use?

After hearing the news that Pang De led the army to kill and his son-in-law Yu Zhugejian died, he knew that the other party was powerful and irresistible, so he had already taken advantage of the chaos and led the remnants of the defeated army to leave quietly.

Although nearly 20,000 troops were lost this time, most of them were Budugen's men and horses, and it was not a pity to die, and Guangwu, as the county ruler of Yanmen, although it was dangerous, there was no pity to lose it, because this was Budugen's territory, and now the Han army was strong, and the loss was inevitable, so as long as he led the army to flee back to his old nest and upper valley, he would be able to recuperate and make a comeback.

But when his army just entered the Gaoshi Mountain at the junction of Daijun and Yanmen, he suddenly saw his younger brother who was stationed to stay in the nest and reported to him a very bad news, it turned out that Cao Zhang, the king of Fanyang, led an army of 50,000 to storm Daijun in Pufulu, but he never succeeded, and later learned that the Han Dynasty had already sent the famous general Huo Jun to lead 10,000 troops to help defend the city, this Huo Jun is extremely good at defending the character, although Cao Zhang's sergeant is elite, but can only look at the ocean and sigh, and later heard that Kebi can be defeated in Yanmen, had to withdraw the troops, and at the time of the withdrawal, Cao Zhang, because of his anger at the incompetence of Kebineng and Budugen, by the way led his soldiers to occupy Kebineng's old nest Shanggu County, Kebineng's remaining soldiers were caught off guard, and they were outnumbered, and were easily captured by Cao Zhang, only a few people such as Kebineng's brother fled.

Kobi could hear his brother's words. Suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and said hatefully: "The thief Cao Zhang, not to say that he is incompetent, actually led the army to attack my homeland, and this revenge will not be avenged." I can swear not to be a man. ”

After saying that, Kebi Neng then ordered the army to climb the mountains overnight and defect to Tuoba Jiefen, the leader of Xianbei who was entrenched in the north of Daijun.

However, it was said that after Kebi could take refuge in Tuoba Jiefen, he bought the hearts of the people in the tribe and prepared to annex the tribes of the Tuoba Ministry, and poisoned Tuoba Jiefen two years later, preparing to forcibly annex the entire Tuoba Department by force, but unexpectedly, Tuoba Jiefen's son Tuoba Liwei avenged his father. Surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and with the help of the Han Dynasty, he led the army to kill all the people of Kebineng, and even Kebineng himself was not spared.

At this time, the western Xianbei in the north finally disappeared completely from the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty advanced its territory to the east for nearly 500 miles.

At this time, Cao Zhang was also reprimanded by the imperial court for entering the north without authorization and returning from defeat, and the emperor even listened to Cao Shuang's advice and issued a decree to demote Cao Zhang to the king of Fanyang County. Cao Zhang, who was extremely angry, did not listen to Yang Fu's dissuasion, and once again raised troops to occupy Dai County. As a result, the Han army captured the three counties of Panxian, Xialuo, and Zhuolu in Shanggu, and suddenly became angry and fell ill, and died in less than a month.

However, Liu Qi, who was sitting in Luoyang, heard the news of Cao Zhang's death, and immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "As soon as Cao Zhang dies, there will be no one among Cao Wei, hehe." Although Cao Xiu is feared, but this person also makes Cao Yi jealous, and he will no longer be able to hold military power in his life, but Cao Shuang, who really holds the power, is a mediocre talent, and he is also very strict against Cao Xiu. Even if Cao Xiu has the talent to manage Zhong Leyi, he will definitely not be able to return to the sky, my lords, the day when my Han dynasty will be unified is not far off. ”

Why is Cao Zhang's death good news for Liu Qi? It is also very good news for Cao Rong, Cao Shuang, who has just held military and political power for less than two years, and Sima Yi, who is still secretly watching.

At the same time, Cao Shuang was no longer threatened by his power, so he changed his previous modest and cautious approach, and began to be unscrupulous and lawless.

Cao Shuang first appointed his second brother Cao Xi as the leader of the middle army, and then abolished the lieutenants of the two battalions of the five battalions of the forbidden army, and handed over the two battalions to Cao Xi's direct command. In addition, with his younger brother Cao Xun as the general of the Wuwei, he commanded the Wuwei camp of the forbidden army, and Cao Yan was the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry, so that the four Cao Shuang brothers completely and completely mastered the forbidden army of the Beijing Division; In addition, Cao Shuang also appointed his cousin Xiahou Xuan as the central protector of the army, responsible for the president's generals, and the selection and promotion of military attachés.

And some of the prestigeless idlers who were previously discarded by Emperor Cao Rong because of their flashiness, such as He Yan, Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Peiguo Ding Mi, etc., were also recruited by Cao Shuang as confidants and held important positions in the court, Ding Mi, He Yan, and Deng Yang were named Shangshu, and He Yan was responsible for selecting officials; Li Sheng was the assassin of Jizhou, and Bi Liang was the lieutenant of Sili, controlling the authority inside and outside the capital; At the same time, he also ordered that Shang Shu should report to himself first when he performed the matter, and then ask Sima Yi after weighing the importance himself. Later, he didn't even ask Sima Yi what he thought about the decree, and thus began to dictate himself.

But in this way, it caused a contradiction between Cao Shuang and the emperor Cao Ei, Cao Ei saw that Cao Shuang was becoming more and more authoritarian, and disobeyed his orders, and sometimes even openly disobeyed, and couldn't help but be angry, under the pretext that he was over fourteen years old and fully capable of pro-government, so he asked to hand over the power to himself.

However, Cao Shuang refused on the grounds that the emperor was not yet an adult and was not enough to govern himself, and at the same time listened to the strategy of a young strategist Huan Fan, and adopted the dual means of co-opting and attacking to coerce Dong Zhao to switch to his own door, so that Cao Rong's power was completely hollowed out, and he had no choice but to ask Cheng Yu for help, Cheng Yu proposed to reuse Cao Xiu to check and balance Cao Shuang, but Cao Rong was worried that Cao Xiu would become the second Cao Shuang, and he hesitated and did not dare to agree.

And at this moment, news suddenly came that the eastern leader of Xianbei, Su Li, secretly united with the Han army, wanting to seize Shanggu, Fanyang and other places, Youzhou Assassin Zhang He led the army to block, because of the recurrence of old injuries, the medicine and stone were ineffective, and died of illness a few days ago, Cao Rong suddenly remembered to reuse Cao Xiu's words, so he took the opportunity to propose Cao Xiu as the history of Youzhou Assassin, on the one hand, to resist the invasion of the Han army, on the other hand, it was also to balance Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang was thinking that Cao Xiu was in the way around him, and expected that Youzhou was poor, and even if he went to war, Cao Xiu couldn't stop it. So he agreed.

And when the struggle for power between the Cao monarchs and ministers intensified, Sima Yi kept himself out of the matter, in order to wait for the opportunity, he further gathered the counterattack force, and even used illness to avoid the court battle.

Cao Yi saw that Sima Yi could still form a certain restriction on Cao Shuang in the court, and now that Sima Yi left, he was afraid that he would really become a loner, so he did not allow Sima Yi to leave, but he couldn't bear Sima Yi's bitter begging, so he had no choice but to let Sima Yi go.

And Cao Shuang had long seen Sima Yi unhappy, and now when he saw him leaving, he was even more happy to see him succeed, but he still pretended to persuade him, and when he saw that the other party was very resolute, he didn't say anything more, and held a grand banquet to see off Sima Yi.

Two months later, it happened that Li Sheng was appointed as the assassin of Jizhou, and Cao Shuang ordered Li Sheng to visit Sima Yi in order to find out whether Sima Yi was really ill.

Who is Sima Yi? Naturally, he saw through Cao Shuang's intentions at a glance, so he came to pretend to be sick, he ordered two maids to serve him, and he wanted to put on his clothes, but he didn't expect the clothes to fall to the ground, and then he pointed out that he was thirsty, and the maid sent gruel, Sima Yi couldn't hold the rice bowl tightly with both hands, and the gruel flowed out and was stained with clothes.

Seeing this, Li Sheng shook his head secretly, and then sighed: "Everyone explained that the public wind disease had recurred, but I really didn't expect it to be so serious." ”

After saying that he was going to Jizhou to take up his post, Sima Yi sighed and said breathlessly: "Yi is old and sick, and he is dying." Jun and Lingyizhou Thorn History, it is really gratifying. I'm afraid I won't see each other again, with the son of the teacher and the Zhao brothers as the trust. ”

At that time, in order to prove that he was orthodox, Cao Wei still appointed many officials to lead the history of the Thirteen Prefectures, so Sima Yi deliberately pretended to be misheard and interrupted with the "History of the Yizhou Assassin".

Li Sheng said with a smile: "I was appointed as the Jizhou Assassin, not the Yizhou Assassin. ”

Sima Yi said deliberately: "Jun Fang just said that he was appointed as the assassin of Yizhou? ”

Li Sheng smiled again and corrected: "When Yizhou." ”

Sima Yi was speechless for a long time, and sighed slowly: "Old age is barren, and I don't understand the words of the king." Today's worship is the history of Jizhou Thorn, Shengde is heroic, and it is good to make meritorious deeds! ”

Li Sheng said goodbye to Sima Yi, and told Cao Shuang everything he had seen and heard in Sima Yi's mansion, and then said: "Sima Gong's corpse is still in the air, and his body and spirit have left, so there is no need to worry. A few days later, he said: "The captain cannot be restored, which is sad. ”

When Cao Shuang and others heard this, they were very happy in their hearts, and they were no longer defenseless against Sima Yi, and later Dong Zhao repeatedly admonished, but Cao Shuang didn't care at all, Dong Zhao saw Cao Shuang like this, knowing that he would die at the hands of Sima Yi sooner or later, after thinking about it for a few days, he secretly took refuge in Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was very happy when he saw Dong Zhao coming, and took his hand to plan openly and honestly, and at the same time secretly contacted the people who were dissatisfied with Cao Shuang in the court, looking for an opportunity to prepare to launch a fatal blow. (To be continued.) )
