One thousand and sixty-one strong dragons can hardly suppress the earth's head snake
Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a Ze country, surrounded by mountains in the northeast, water gathered in the southwest, reeds and weeds were overgrown along the river, the water network was dense, and it was deserted.
During the Guangwu period, the county seat was set up here, because there was a "Wet Whisker River" running through the whole territory, so it was named Wet Whisker County, and it has always been under the jurisdiction of Lujiang County. Hefei County was set up after Liu argued that the capital was Jinling, and Wei had to be assigned to Hefei.
The county seat is 100 miles in circumference, the entrance of Chaohu Lake is controlled in the north, the throat of the Yangtze River is choked in the south, the west, north and south are all water, and the east is full of mountains; Whether it is to go south to Jiangdong or north to Huainan, it must pass through the wet beard, so it has been a strategic point since ancient times.
There are the city of the water, the mountain of the water, the river of the water, the port of the water, the mouth of the water, all five different geographical environments are named after the "water".
The Wet River and the Wet Beard Mountain were naturally formed in ancient times and were named during the Warring States Period; The city was built in the Guangwu period, and now there are more than 12,000 residents in the city.
The river is a big river connecting Chaohu Lake and the Yangtze River, which flows endlessly in the west of the city every day, and has formed an excellent port outside the city, with moderate water depth, and the terrain is the most suitable for stationing the water division. As early as more than ten years ago, there were princes training here, so it was named Wet Whisker Dock. Thirty miles south along the Wet River is the Yangtze River, which is vast and flowing.
The northern part of the city is surrounded by mountains and mountains, which is the mountain range. There is the Great Wall built by the Red Mei Army hundreds of years ago on the mountain, which stretches for 70 miles from north to south, and extends to Hefei to the north, like a dragon and a tiger. There is a checkpoint in the center of the Great Wall, called Dongguan, majestic and majestic, indestructible, and there is a tendency that there is a man who is not open.
Surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, this city is heavily fortified. It is solid and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. It is precisely because of this that Cai Mao was sure to defend his beard and hold on until Cao Cao broke through Hefei, even if Wei Chigong led 40,000 horses to attack, there was no tension at all.
A few days ago. Cai Mao and Huang Zu blatantly rebelled, and Cai Mao occupied the entire territory of Weisu and defended it against all odds. Huang Zu returned to his hometown Jiangxia, murdered Wang Lang, bewitched the clansmen, and summoned Liu Biao's old troops to cross the river with iron cables on the river to intercept Han Shizhong's reinforcements.
After the Jinling court learned of the rebellion of Huang and Cai, it sent Wei Chi Gong to lead a team of 40,000 people, including soldiers, monks, and Taoist priests, to cross the Yangtze River and go west along the north bank. Strive to put down Cai Mao's rebellion as soon as possible and recapture the fortress.
After Wei Chigong led his troops across the Yangtze River, he traveled 80 miles a day and arrived at Liyang County, which borders on the river, in more than three days. But in the face of the Great Wall and Dongguan on the Wet Whisker Mountain, he was at a loss, and led his troops to attack several times, but they were easily repelled by Wen Ping with the dangerous terrain.
Since Han Shizhong's sailors and Qi Jiguang's sailors set out one after another, there are not many warships left in Jinling. The large and small building ships, fighting ships, and ships add up, but there are only two or three hundred. And because of the lack of sailor generals. Therefore, these soldiers were even more bad at water warfare, and they had to leave some ships to cross the river back and forth, so there were only 7,000 sailors in Wei Chigong's team, and they took more than 50 warships to go up the river, echoing Wei Chigong's army.
Wei Chigong's attack on land was blocked, so he had to lead a fleet up the river with Yao Guangxiao. He attempted to enter the Misu River from the mouth of the Misu, approached the outside of the city, and met Cai Mao with a short army.
But Cai Mao was prepared, leading a 10,000-trained naval army with 100 warships. In one fell swoop, he defeated Wei Chi Gong's naval division on the Yangtze River, causing more than 20 Han warships to sink and more than 2,000 people killed, and finally retreated to the shore in Liyang County in embarrassment.
"Haha...... General Cai Deqi and General Wen Zhongye did a good job! ”
Guo Jia, who was sitting in the city of Wet Whiskers, stood at the head of the city, wearing a cyan mink fur, and his face was full of spirit, "Your Majesty has broken through Shouchun and is approaching Hefei City." And Huang Zu crossed the river to intercept Han Shizhong, as long as the two of you blocked Wei Chigong for half a month, my Cao Wei army will definitely be able to break through Hefei, and the troops will be in the mouth. At that time, Zhuge Liang's reinforcements will arrive in Misu, and there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
Cai Mao and Wen Ping bowed their hands to Guo Jia together: "Hehe...... All of this is thanks to the strategizing of Lord Fengxiao, with you in charge, the mustache will definitely be solid, and these rats in Jinling are not enough to worry about! ”
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and stroked Qingxiu's chin, revealing a proud look in his eyes: "The two of you are serious, and Jia is only doing a little bit." What really depends on General Cai's water warfare ability, Wei Chi Gong, who fought on the river, fled in embarrassment, Wen Zhongye defended Dongguan, and Jia just sat back and enjoyed Qingfu. ”
"I heard the scout's report the day before yesterday that Han Shizhong's sailor has arrived in Chibi territory, and I don't know if Huang Zu can stop it for a while?" Wen Ping stroked his beard with a worried look on his face, "If Jiangxia is breached, Han Shizhong's sailors will go down the river and go straight to the Whisker Dock." We've lost all our work! ”
Cai Mao stood side by side with Guo Jia and Wen Ping, looked west, and said with a confident smile: "Hehe...... Although Wen Zhongye was relieved, Huang Zu blocked the Yangtze River with three iron cables, and arranged hidden piles with interlaced canine teeth under the water. With Han Shizhong, a martial artist, he can break through the iron rope in half a month, even if he burns high incense. If you want to win Jiangxia again, it will take more than 20 days of hard work! ”
Guo Jia clasped his arms in front of his chest, letting the cold wind blow his clothes and hunting: "My Great Wei poured out of the nest and besieged Hefei with heavy troops, and it will be down within half a month!" ”
"I wonder how Huang Zu managed to cross the river with an iron rope?" After learning about Huang Zu's tactics a few days ago, Wen Ping was surprised, and couldn't help but ask Cai Mao again at this moment.
Cai Mao said with a smile: "The so-called strong dragon is difficult to suppress the earth-head snake, not to mention that Han Shizhong is far from being a strong dragon, but Huang Zu is an authentic earth-head snake, a native of Jiangxia. In the Yangtze River basin in Jiangxia for more than ten years, he knows the Yangtze River well, and knows where the water is turbulent and the river is narrow. In addition, there are quite a lot of blacksmiths in Jiangxia, so it is not surprising that they can cross the river with iron cables! ”
There was a soldier on the city wall who didn't know the times and interjected: "Although Han Shizhong is not a strong dragon, I heard that Zhuge Liang's nickname is 'Wolong'!" ”
"Bastard, how do you talk?" Cai Mao was furious, and drew his sword to cut off the mouthy soldier.
Guo Jia sneered: "General Deqi doesn't have to be angry, Wolong? I think it's almost the same as a crouching insect, selling fame and fame, and deceiving the world to steal fame, this time I will let him Wolong become a bedridden 'Wolong', lying in bed for the rest of his life, so as to live up to the name of Wolong! ”
"Haha......" Cai Mao stroked his beard and laughed, "Lord Fengxiao's arrogance is really admirable, Mao is willing to look forward to it with General Zhongye and Huang Zuwei, carry Zhuge Liang and Han Shizhong in the west, and resist Wei Chi Gong in the east, and hold on until the Great Wei Emperor breaks through Hefei and the soldiers are on the verge of being wet!" ”
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile, and his finger pointed under the city wall.
I saw tens of thousands of people, men, women, and children, busy in the cold wind in an open area outside the city, carrying wood and assisting the carpenters in building ships.
And these people were originally people from the vicinity of Misu, Xiang'an, Linhu, Chungu and other counties, and were forcibly captured by Guo Jia and Cai Mao to the territory of Misu. First, 6,000 strong men were selected to enlist in the army, and the rest were all used as labor, assisting craftsmen to build warships outside the city of Misu, creating conditions for Cao Cao's army to go down the river in advance.
"You see, these days, the craftsmen and the common people have built more than 50 warships, plus hundreds of civilian ships forcibly requisitioned, and when my Cao Wei army arrives in Misu, at least a 20,000-strong sailor can be formed." Guo Jia stroked his chin lightly, looking forward to the future battle situation with great ambition.
Cai Mao complimented: "Lord Fengxiao's scheduling ability is indeed outstanding, and the management of these people is in good order, and the five bodies that Mao admires are thrown to the ground!" ”
Guo Jia showed a contemptuous smile: "General Cai doesn't have to praise too much, Liu Wei is not in the nest, Li Jing, Wu Qi, Yue Fei and other generals are all outside; Xue Rengui is considered a general, but His Majesty personally cleaned him up, so there is no need to worry. The rest of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals such as Zhuge Liang, Han Shizhong, and Wei Chigong, if I can't clean them up, what are we talking about dominating the world? ”
"Huh...... Lord Bonghyo is so courageous! "Thousands of clothes are not worn, Cai Mao tried her best to slap Guo Jia on the back.
Guo Jia suddenly showed a gloomy look in his eyes as he spoke: "There are also these wine bags and rice bags in the Jinling Imperial Court, Liu Ji, Xun Yu, Kong Rong and Meng Heng are all corpse vegetarian people, this time I must assist Your Majesty to take Jinling, shame on you!" ”
Thinking of the sad past in Jinling, the hatred in Guo Jia's eyes became stronger and stronger: "It's a pity that Chen Ping is not in Jiangdong, otherwise I will definitely break him into pieces!" ”
Guo Jia's story in Jinling did not spread, and Wen Ping and Cai Mao did not know what was going on, but seeing Guo Jia's gritted teeth, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he could only turn a deaf ear.
Guo Jia calmed down his emotions and coughed, "Ahem...... Well, it's a bit far away! At present, the three of us have their own duties, Jia sits in the city of Misu, General Wen guards the mountain, and General Cai guards the mouth of the water. As long as it can last for about 20 days, His Majesty will definitely be able to take Hefei and bring troops to the bank of the Yangtze River. ”
"There is a Great Wall blocking the Misu Mountain, and Dongguan is difficult to open, and I can hold it for a year with these 5,000 men and horses." Wen Ping was full of ambition and expressed concern at the same time, "The only thing I'm worried about is that Huang Zu can't stop Zhuge Liang and Han Shizhong, after all, it's 100,000 horses!" ”
Guo Jia let out a sneer again, and pointed his finger at the people who were busy like ants in the city: "It's okay, at the critical moment, these people can be used as targets or even hostages." The Han army broke through a foot of land, and killed him alone, His Majesty said, for the revenge of General Yuanrang, even if he slaughtered the people of Jiangdong, he did not hesitate!
