Busy Shenzhou guests, leisurely wandering around the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For seven consecutive days, Li Wangjun erected a banner to fully control both sides of the Yellow River, and although the number of troops invested was not as good as that of Yuan Shao, the scale of this time was not small, with a total of 130,000 people, pointing at the south bank of the Yellow River.
In the ancient rebel army, there were almost no successful cases of the southern uprising, and if there was anything, it could only be Zhu Yuanzhang who started the incident in Haozhou again, all the way to the north of Beijing (this place cannot be fought), which is the only existence and cannot be copied.
The same was true at the end of the Han Dynasty, so King Li, who started in the north, planned to go south after only four years of development, but he was also afraid of long nights and dreams.
On February 22 of the second year of Zhongxing, King Li claimed to lead 300,000 troops, marching in three ways, the first route was led by King Li, Li Jing and Zhao Yun were deputy generals, advancing by land and water, and knocking on the Guguan Pass, and did not go to the relatively weak Caoyang, and chose to face Wang Shouren.
The second route was Zhou Yu as the commander, and the vanguard army under his command was led by Wang Haomin and Pu Fei, led by 800 soldiers of the life-chasing army, followed by 5,000 soldiers from Jizhou, who went south to the pasture and looked at Guandu from afar, followed by 30,000 troops commanded by Wang Shuang and Li Tong to the battlefield, and the situation was about to erupt.
The third road is relatively weak, the Pingbei general Tai Shici led 30,000 soldiers not to set up a vanguard, but to march step by step, by the escaped Hou Junji led part of the troops, left and right to Jibei, there is a possibility of going south at any time.
The first to bear the brunt is Kong Rong of Qingzhou and Liu Dai of Yanzhou, although these two have never had a holiday with King Li, but the alliance initiated by the imperial court is directly chosen to accept, secretly everyone knows that they have the intention of working together, these two people are also frequently mobilized today, and the soldiers of each department go to the Yellow River, and the war is about to break out.
After King Li crossed the river, he chose the high ground to defend, but the warships did not stop, and a body with siege equipment was transported, all of which were made and made according to King Li's instructions, and the curtain did not end until today, and they were immediately put into battle.
Jing Yan, one of the most complex siege equipment in ancient times, is also the highest siege equipment in the Han Dynasty, according to legend is the invention of Mozi in the Warring States Period, the bottom is set up with rollers, can condescendingly move to shoot the enemy army at the head of the city, up to three floors, very spectacular,
At this moment, Li Wang was inspecting these instruments, and there were knowledgeable craftsmen beside him who introduced them one by one.
King Li climbed up the well, holding on to the partition on the side and felt a little soft, to say that King Li's strength has increased, but this fear of heights can not be restrained, and at this time in front of people can not be cowered, quickly tilt his head and pretend to be calm.
"This well is really good, I think this well is more special, I don't know...... Whether there are any changes. ”
The craftsman said proudly: "To be honest, for the sake of safety, we have added another four rollers to the four rollers, which are oriented to the north and south, and can be lifted up and down, which can effectively prevent the enemy from rushing out and destroying the base, and can also increase the mobility during evacuation, which is very practical." ”
King Li was a little dizzy, and then asked, "Then I don't know how many of these wells have been prepared, and whether this battle is enough?" ”
The craftsman said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are a total of twenty such wells, each with three floors, each floor is more than one zhang high, and the total number is nearly one zhang higher than that of ordinary wells, which is also designed for several fortresses in Sili, except for Luoyang City, the rest of the fortresses are much shorter." ”
King Li nodded, not wanting to stay any longer, and slowly descended on the very narrow floor slab, until he landed on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.
asked: "But I remember that in the past, the king of Chu used Jing Qian to attack the Song Kingdom, but he was blocked by Mozi's use of fire attack, and I don't know if there is a good way to solve it." ”
The man was very sure throughout the whole process, and grinned at this time: "This matter has also been resolved, don't look at this well is a slender bamboo and wood erection, in which we use pig iron to boil juice and pour it into the bamboo holes that have been punched through. ”
Li Wang was stunned, how could it sound like pouring concrete into the formwork in later generations, as long as it was formed, it would be difficult to chisel through, but he didn't care, as long as the fire attack was difficult to work, then the advantages of Hangu Pass would be gone.
At this moment, King Li saw Yuwen Chengdu's calm face, and he was rushing here, and a very bad feeling slowly climbed up.
"Chengdu, what's going on?"
Yuwen Chengdu turned over and dismounted, his eyes were a little cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Visiting Malai, more than 200 households in Chengshi County, a total of nearly 1,000 people, were slaughtered, and the county magistrate Li Shujie and his brother Li Jin are also missing. ”
King Li's face completely collapsed, was it really Li Jin who was robbed, and said in a deep voice: "Go, let the soldiers come to the tent, and say that I have a discussion." ”
"Yes."
King Li walked away, the craftsman was a little anxious, this time he accompanied King Li to inspect the equipment, but he was burdened with the rewards of thousands of directly subordinate craftsmen, if he messed up those people, he would not drown.
There was no way, the man knelt on the ground with a plop, a little open-minded, and said: "Dadudu, I've only seen most of the time, why don't you finish reading it and then leave." ”
Li Wang was stunned for a moment, looking at these simple craftsmen, he felt a little cold for a while, yes, maybe these people are still waiting for themselves to be treated, so as to add a new dress for their wives, children and mothers at home, you must know that these craftsmen are strictly ordered by King Li not to take vacations, even if they return to their hometowns once a year to rest, they must be accompanied by two soldiers, just for fear of leaking the news of stirrups, iron tools and other equipment.
King Li blinked his eyes and smiled: "Don't look at it anymore, I have all your mental strength in my heart, you go directly to the party to find Zhuge Jin, and let him distribute the reward money for you according to the head, it will be calculated according to five hundred gold per person (the same money, not red gold), and it must be implemented on the head." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is wise, and the Metropolitan Governor is really our benefactor."
That person was overjoyed, the five hundred gold was equivalent to a year's hard work, King Li had so much at one time, how could he still hold back the restlessness in his heart, and suddenly kowtowed like a tassel, and he didn't even know that King Li was far away.
A full house of soldiers gathered, all with heavy faces, obviously Yuwen Chengdu had told them what had happened.
After sitting down, King Li said bluntly: "I must know my intention to call you here, let's talk about it, what do you think of this matter." ”
The best relationship with Li Jin here is Yuwen Chengdu, and he walked to the front of the hall and said: "Lord, Li Jin and Li Shujie suddenly disappeared, but with their skills, no matter how much Liukou attacks Chengshi County, they can also have no return, so it seems that there should be the intervention of the army in order to trap the tiger...... It must be Liu Dai's husband. ”
As mentioned earlier, Li Jing and Li Jin were also close, and said at this time: "What Commander Yuwen said is reasonable, but don't forget, Li Jin returned to his hometown by accident, if there are really officials and soldiers targeting him, it is impossible to know that he went back so coincidentally." ”
