Chapter 605: Yingshui Resistance Battle
He is only the governor of the navy, and he has done his best to occupy Jianye, and it is impossible for him to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong with the navy, whether it is Huang Yueying, Fazheng or the lord Liu Zhang, they all know that this place in Jiangdong is a spring.
When Huang Yueying defeated Zhou Yu in Jiangling, the Jiangdong Army was also extremely weak at that time, 30,000 troops were annihilated, and most of the naval army was destroyed by Su Fei's deception plan.
But Huang Yueying wrote to Liu Zhang at that time, Jiangdong is a spring, if you don't press him, he won't resist, once you press it, the pressure will be heavy, and the resistance will be heavy.
This was the biggest reason why Liu Zhang accepted Lu Su's peace at the beginning.
Because this is the world of the Shi clan, and the wealth is hidden from the people, if Wei Wen attacks it, the appeal of the Shi clan is very great, and it will never be because the infantry army is in Jingzhou and the water army is contained, there is no power to resist.
It can be said that this sneak attack on Jianye, if Sun Quan and Zhang Hong find out in advance, even if Zhou Yu and Lu Meng do not return to the division, Jianye can prevent the troops from resisting.
That is to say, if you want to attack Jiangdong, even if Jiangdong is extremely weak, you must mobilize a large army, otherwise you will fall into the "vast sea of people's war." ”
It is undeniable that now is the best time for the Sichuan army to capture Jiangdong, but this is not something that he can call the shots as a naval governor, even if he will attack the hinterland without the king's orders now, Wei Wen also knows that he can't take it, and Jiangdong is not so easy to take.
Wei Wen was stationed in Jiangdong to wait for Liu Zhang's order.
And once Liu Zhang ordered an all-out attack on Jiangdong, the biggest obstacle in Jiangdong was the crazy clan, and there was a way to slightly weaken the resistance of the Jiangdong people, that is, to support Sun Shao as the lord of Jiangdong.
And that's not all. Wei Wen would also threaten to say that Wangjiang Tower was planned by Sun Quan and the Jiangdong family. Let them be ruined. Wei Wen didn't know the truth about Wangjiang Tower, this was just a normal reaction to planting blame.
This is the reason why Wei Wen is polite to Qiao Wushuang, Wei Wen can't be sure whether the lord and Huang Yueying plan to attack Jiangdong, but as a general, he must now make two preparations.
…………
Xuchang, the news of Jiangdong has not yet come, Liu Zhang integrated thousands of elite cavalry to prepare to pursue Cao Cao, Wei Yan rushed to report: "Lord." The heads of the families who were trapped in Xuchang had all come, saying that they were willing to accept the four imperial examinations, land orders, and were willing to donate money and grain to set up workshops and merchants. ”
Wei Yanyu reported, but his expression was very depressed, as if he wished that the clan would not accept the new policy, in fact, Wei Yanzhen had this mentality, Liu Zhang was going to go on the expedition, and Huang Yueying was going south. Wei Yan became the supreme governor of Xuchang.
When the head of the family came to see him, Wei Yanna did his best to make a tone. The arrogance is unstoppable, trying to provoke the clan, but none of these soft eggs dare not speak up, and the head of the clan was caught by Wei Yan in making a mistake in speaking, and deliberately misinterpreted it as a rebellion, allowing him to drill through his crotch.
I heard that this guy is still the sixth grandson of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and several people in the clan are members of the current imperial court, and they are usually high in Xuchang, so they can bend and stretch, Wei Yan can't have a seizure, and he is depressed.
Liu Zhang listened to Wei Yan's words and sank his brows, these clans like to play yin and yang, he didn't know, but Liu Zhang didn't want to kill people for no reason, and when he saw the clan, he slaughtered them all.
This is not just a matter of reason, if you need a reason to kill the clan, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, but Liu Zhang's massacre in Jiangzhou from the very beginning is not to destroy the clan.
The existence of the clan has a positive significance in the long history of the Han Dynasty, they advocate loyalty, pay attention to etiquette, and produce many talents, and the martyrs have not made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
It's just that by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation had reached an outrageous level, officialdom was almost completely monopolized, and because the family kidnapped the children of the family and only cared about the interests of the family, and then let the family kidnap the country, it had to be curbed.
In his heart, Liu Zhang just wanted the world to transition peacefully, and if they could follow the Four Imperial Examinations and the Land Decree in their hearts, Liu Zhang would be very happy.
But according to the nature of the clan, Liu Zhang knew that it was impossible.
The clan of Jiangzhou Yin Fengyang violated himself as a monkey, the Yang family in Hanzhong sent people to assassinate, the Xiangyang clan rebelled directly, and finally all the clans in Jingyi Erzhou rebelled.
Every time, it was because the Shi clan rebelled first, and Liu Zhang started the massacre, just like those Shi clans in Chengdu, they didn't move, Liu Zhang didn't move, and then the Huang family, the Jin family, the Qu family, the Wu family and other big families transitioned peacefully, and Liu Zhang would not have any trouble.
This time, there are too many clans in Xuchang who are blocked in the city, much more than the clans in Xiangyang at the beginning, and the scale is larger, and many of them are members of the imperial court.
Liu Zhang didn't want to touch these people, but he couldn't rest assured of these people in his heart, and Liu Zhang also knew that these clans were still playing old tricks, disobeying yin and yang, singing praises in the open, and secretly thinking about how to kill themselves.
"Wei Yan, monitor the clan, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, but if there are wrongdoers, you can cut it first and then play."
"Yes."
Since you want to play, let these people play it, I hope it will continue to play.
Liu Zhang led the cavalry to pursue Cao Cao, but he fell far behind the other cavalry units of the Sichuan army, and when Liu Zhang led the army to gallop out of a hundred miles, the forward cavalry suddenly came to report.
"Report to the lord, Cao Jun lined up in Yingshui, and Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other generals have been blocked."
"Backwater? Learn from Han Xin to fight to the death? Liu Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked the soldiers: "As far as I know, Xu Huang's army is still outside Yuzhou, and Cao's army is all defeated soldiers who have no will to fight, where did they come from to meet the army?" ”
It stands to reason that there are not many soldiers and horses who escaped from Xuchang, and they have no will to fight, such soldiers must be one-sided slaughter, how can they be lined up against the water?
Back then, Han Xin was in a position with his back to the water, and his soldiers were not in this state of morale.
"Very few of them have military uniforms, and they are basically the children of the family and their families, and there are tens of thousands."
"What?" Liu Zhang's brows furrowed, it was completely unbelievable, a group of family members? Blocking the Xiliang Iron Ride? Is Zhao Yun Ma Chao a rice bucket?
"These family members have a high fighting spirit, and they will not retreat from fighting to the death......"
Before the soldier finished speaking, Liu Zhang had already led the army to kill in the direction of Yingchuan, and he wanted to see where the family came from. It was so against the sky that it could block the Xiliang Iron Ride.
Yingshui. The two armies confronted each other. On one side is Ma Chao 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Yun 20,000 Yumen cavalry, Wang Shuang 30,000 Dongqingyi wolf cavalry, a total of 80,000 elite cavalry.
There are about 50,000 troops on the bank of Yingshui, and it is said that they are arrayed against the water, but in fact, there is no formation at all, and even most of the soldiers do not have military uniforms, and they are equipped with weapons. But there are all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, everything.
There were about 5,000 cavalry on each flank, but at first glance they were not real cavalrymen, not only did they not look exquisite, they were scattered in charge, and many of the horses were not war horses at all.
This army looks like a ragtag unit, as long as someone who knows how to see it, he must feel that this force can't even withstand the impact of a round of Xiliang Cavalry.
However, there were corpses strewn across the banks of Yingchuan, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. It has been said that not only has this place been guarded by this motley army for a day, but the battle is extremely fierce.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are tied for two. Behind him were Pang De, Ma Dai, Longxi, Eighteen Cavalry and other Sichuan army generals, and at this time, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao saw that this army was also dignified.
Xiliang rode very fast, and he was about to catch up with Cao Cao, but this army blocked Xiliang's way in Yingshui, and Cao Cao had already retreated from Yingshui for a day.
"Zilong, if we can't break through this motley army, we won't be able to catch up with Cao Cao, not only will we not be able to represent the main bus, but we will also be discredited." Ma Chao said in a deep voice, his and Zhao Yun's spears were still dripping blood, and there were still many dried blood stains on the barrel of the gun.
Zhao Yun looked coldly at the family army in front of him, and clenched his spear, he had already killed dozens of people who looked like generals on the other side, of course, it was difficult to tell whether the generals were from their clothes, but these soldiers did not retreat at all.
Zhao Yun also saw that this army had no formation, so it relied on soldiers to fight indiscriminately, and there was no need for generals, but this was tricky.
Even those cavalry who rode transport horses were indomitable when they charged, and they would never retreat until they reached Mingjin.
Zhao Yun was surprised about the combat strength of this army, but the spear that was slowly clenched had already made Zhao Yun make up his mind that this time he would charge and take down this army.
Zhao Yun had already seen the command of this army on a small dirt bag at the back of the troops, as long as he killed that person, he would be done, even if he was desperate, he would rush forward.
Since Ma Yunlu's death, for some reason, Zhao Yun no longer has the patience he used to have, he doesn't want to entangle with any enemies, which will make him extremely irritable.
On the small earthen bag, the two scribes looked at the powerful Sichuan cavalry with a calm expression, it was Sima Yi and his younger brother Sima Fu.
After Sima Yi withdrew from Xuchang ahead of schedule, of course, it was impossible not to do anything, he was originally gambling on the Sichuan army to break through Xuchang, so his nonsensical remarks were said again, Sima Yi believed that with these two lessons, even if he did not join the Cao army, his status was extraordinary.
Nonsensical remarks can be said, which is even more ghostly than a ghost.
Sima Yi had already prepared for the Sichuan army to break through Xuchang, and after leaving Xuchang, Sima Yi immediately prepared for the aftermath with Sima Hui Pang Degong Zhuge Cizhen and other family members, Sima Yi knew that after Xuchang was broken, Cao Cao could not flee to Luoyang in Pingchuan, but only to Yanzhou.
That Yingshui is the road that must be crossed, as long as it is blocked here, it can save Cao Cao's life and further pave the way for his future career.
The power of the clan is huge, not to mention that it has been prepared for a long time, and all the clans in the Central Plains have been mobilized, and almost every family member has contributed, led by the young children in the family.
Originally, there were weapons hidden in the clan, and no matter what style, all the various types were equipped with this family army.
Of course, this is not the reason why this family Ding army is powerful, after contributing to the monks, the Sima family, the Zhen family, the Zhuge family, the Cui family, the Pang family, the Li family and other dozens of Central Plains families jointly issued a statement.
The family members or people who survived the battle in Yingshui can get a lot of rewards, and they can also recommend Cao Cao as an official and a general, and it is a joint recommendation of the world.
This is definitely a great temptation for those who have been in the poor and living in poverty, many of them have never thought of being officials in their lives, and joining the army is just cannon fodder.
As long as you fight this battle, you can get ahead, what a powerful temptation is this?
But Sima Yi knew what opponent he was facing, and with encouragement alone, these family members would never be able to stop the elite cavalry of the Sichuan army.
Dozens of families have affirmed that those who do not retreat in the first battle in Yingshui will be rewarded heavily, but those who dare to retreat will not only die by themselves, but also all their families will be killed, and the men in the clan will be enslaved, and the women will be enslaved and relegated to the camp prostitution, and reduced to generations of untouchables.
In the Han Dynasty, which paid attention to filial piety, not only did the children of the family dare not betray the family, but the Hanmen also took their family and family very seriously.
And these family members have no doubt that the family can do it, because the family usually wants to harm a cold family, or even a family's cold family, it is really easy, in the era when the family formulates rules to control power, their lives are like mustard, and the government will not care at all, not to mention that this time it is to help Cao Cao fight, and no one cares.
There is the temptation of heavy rewards, the pressure of relatives, and the formation of Yingshui backwater, he has to die first, because there is no way out.
Retreat, die yourself, and your family will die, so it's better to fight.
As a result, Sima Yi followed Han Xin's example and successfully lined up.
The impact of the Xiliang cavalry is certainly strong, but as long as these family members withstand the indomitable momentum, the Xiliang cavalry can only retreat, even if the Xiliang cavalry charges dozens of times and kills countless enemies, but the Jiading troops still do not retreat, and the blood has been stained all over the river beach.
"Second brother, I think this method is good, if you bring out the family members in the future, you don't need to train, you can directly threaten their relatives, there is no one who does not sell their lives, if you continue to fight like this, it is strange that the Sichuan army can afford it." Younger brother Sima Fu said with a smile.
Sima Yi smiled and shook his head: "That's impossible, this time this statement was made out of necessity, do you think those untouchables really let people eat meat?"
This statement caught them off guard, and we brought them before they had time to object, but in fact it has chilled many families, and if this continues next time, the people's hearts will be lost, and I am afraid that those untouchables will rebel, and we will be defeated without fighting. ”
Sima Fu put away his smile and nodded.
"And." Sima Yi looked at the Sichuan army in the distance who were preparing to charge, and continued: "The combat power of the Sichuan cavalry is too strong, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are all thousands of enemies, even if these family members resist to the death, they are not their opponents.
I think we have angered Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, the two fierce generals of the world, and the next charge, they will do their best, and whether they can block it when the time comes, I really can't be sure. ”
"What if I can't stop it?"
"Not only Cao Cao may not be able to escape into Chenliu, but it will be difficult for you and me to retreat." Sima Yi said, Sima Fu suddenly became solemn, but Sima Yi smiled: "Fortunately, I also prepared a big gift for the Sichuan army." (To be continued......)
