Chapter 625 Before the war started, Tai Shi Ci was deflated first
Luling, a radius of about hundreds of miles, there are several cities, it is a frontier base isolated in Jiangdong near Jingzhou, the only big city, that is, Luling City, it is backed by the river, the river is also densely forested, only a few rugged paths pass, in front of a large area of woods, only only one big road in the forest.
A big road, a waterway. This is the only way to enter Luling on a large scale, and the forests on both sides of the land road in front can be used as an ambush, and the back waterway is blocked by Zhou Tai.
It can be said that it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Jiangdong general Tai Shici led 10,000 troops to defend this place.
Luling County, in addition to the Taishou Mansion, there is also a general's mansion. Tai Shi Ci has had such a general's mansion since he guarded this side.
In the chalk of the general's study, Tai Shici knelt and sit.
Tai Shi Ci's face is soft, it doesn't look lethal, and his figure is only slender, not burly, but the back outlined by the straight spine gives people an extremely strong sense of the party, which gives Tai Shi Ci the aura of a fierce general, and the last pair of bright tiger eyes is the finishing touch.
This guy who looks a little soft is actually a tiger who can crack tigers and leopards at any time.
Tai Shi Ci was originally a young general under Liu Xiang in Yangzhou, but Liu Xiang and Sun Ce competed for power, but they were defeated. Tai Shici was defeated by Sun Ce and surrendered to Sun Ce, and since then he has become a general of Wu.
In the past, Tai Shici did not guard here, but because of Changsha Huang Zhongchang, he led the army to loot Luling and take away the people. Sun Quancai sent Tai Shici to collect Luling in case Huang Zhong attacked.
As a result, Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses were not enough for Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci had a strong city to rely on.
After several small defeats, Huang Zhong did not enter Luling again.
Until Kou Feng pulled Huang Zhong away and went to Jiangxia. Tai Shi Ci really lived a stable life for a while.
However, it was only stable for a while. Kou Feng entered Jiangxia, and Huang Zhong's old guy shot Huang Zu with an arrow, and from that time on, Tai Shici knew that this Jiangxia might be in trouble.
Kou Feng hadn't heard of it, but Huang Zhong had fought several times. Although he defeated Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong's bravery and the soldiers he cultivated well made a deep impression on Tai Shici.
And now that old guy actually defected to Kou Feng, Kou Feng's power can be imagined.
Next, Zhou Yu, the leader of the central army, was defeated by Kou Feng, lost Pan Zhang, and lost the four cities of Chai Za. In the first battle of Jiangling, only the remnants of the soldiers were left by Kou Feng, and in the first battle of Xiangyang, he killed himself.
The wars confirmed Tai Shici's guess that Jiangxia was going to be chaotic, and Kou Feng was rising more quickly than he imagined.
Sun Ce, who was loyal to him at the beginning, was more fierce and more capable of fighting.
Since the news of Zhou Yu's death in the north came, Tai Shici knew that there would inevitably be a war between Jiangdong and Jingchu.
On the southeast side, the two heroes compete for hegemony. But one is strong and one is weak. Can a strong person not give birth to the heart of annexation?
Therefore, these days, in addition to the soldiers given by Sun Quan, Tai Shici also led his soldiers to overhaul the city. Fortifications.
Because there is only one major road leading to Luling in front, Tai Shici is not afraid of Kou Feng's catapult, or a car. The road is difficult to walk, and if Kou Feng leads these siege equipment, Tai Shici can also destroy it if he makes an ambush.
But Tai Shici is a fierce general, who has been guarding Luling for many years, and he is tired of it early. In his early years, he once wrote to Sun Quan, saying that he would attack Changsha and enter Jingzhou.
However, Sun Quan was thinking about Jiangxia, thinking that opening up Jiangxia was opening up the road to Jingzhou. As a result, Tai Shi Ci is still a cat.
"The generals in front stand side by side to protect the territory and the people. I'm here alone, hey. Tai Shi Ci sat for a moment, sighed and said.
"General." At this moment, a knife and pen official in the well entered Tai Shici's study and bent down to salute. Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
"What?" Tai Shi Ci was a little depressed and said.
"The lord has an order." As he spoke, the little official presented the bamboo slip in his hand to Tai Shici.
Tai Shici's eyes lit up, and he immediately untied the rope on the bamboo slip, and after just one glance, his face showed a look of great joy, and he shouted: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should be a three-foot Qingfeng and make immortal achievements, and now the opportunity has come." ”
"The speedy man ordered 7,000 soldiers and horses to follow me into Changsha." After shouting, Tai Shici's face turned pale, and he ordered the knife and pen official in front of him.
"No." The little officer of the knife and pen was also excited, promised loudly, and hurriedly walked out.
Immediately, Tai Shi Ci ordered his own guards to take out the armor and put it on his body, although Tai Shi Ci had not fought for a long time, but this armor was often worn.
It is also ordered to be wiped every day, and it looks very bright.
Worn on Tai Shici's body, it looks like a god general.
Soon after, the tent came to report that 7,000 soldiers had been assembled. Tai Shici waved his hand and ordered: "Go to Changsha." ”
Changsha, Tai Shi Ci has been concerned about it for many years.
What is the situation, how many roads, and how many soldiers are stationed and who are guarding. This information was already well known, so Tai Shici's order at this time was very decisive.
Soon after, Tai Shici led 7,000 troops out of Luling, and a few days later, arrived in Changsha County, which is also close to Luling.
Youxian is also the Changsha County Lieutenant of Kou Fengfeng, the most well-guarded general in Shu Han, and the place where Huo Jun tun his troops.
At that time, Huo Jun defected to Kou Feng and was immediately named the lieutenant of Changsha County to guard against Tai Shici in the east. Kou Feng took a fancy to Huo Jun's defensive ability.
However, after Huo Jun arrived in Changsha, he transferred the army to the two cities of Youxian and Anxian County, and because of these two cities, it was the closest to Luling.
Of course, the enemy must be outside the country, otherwise the war will be burned internally, and the losses will be great.
Tai Shi Ci is a famous general in Jiangdong, if he comes to attack, he must be extremely fierce. Therefore, in these years, Huo Jun has greatly built fortifications, strengthened the moat, heightened and widened the city, and consumed a lot of materials.
However, with the victory of Kou Fengjie.
Jing Chu's entire posture has already changed from the original defense to the current active attack. Outside the capital of Chen Bingtian, it is even more intimidating to the world.
Huo Jun has also received the news that Marquis Wu Sun Quan has set up a heavy army in Yuzhangtun and crossed the river with iron cables. Therefore, somewhat discouraged.
He has been a Chu general for many years, but he has not made an inch.
And Huo Jun is in Luling County, of course, he also arranges spies. Tai Shici's army moved, and the spies heard it first, and put the news on Huo Jun's case.
"Seven thousand soldiers, Linyou County?" In the chalk of the study, Huo Jun was suddenly overjoyed.
Over the years, although Huo Jun has not experienced any battles, but for the sake of the future, the power on his body has become stronger and stronger, as the saying goes, gold always shines.
As long as it is placed in the right place, Huo Jun is in the right place to be a general.
"Come on, hurry up and go to Xiangyang, and Yan Taishi Ci soldiers will enter Changsha." Huo Jun first ordered the fast horse to give Kou Feng the news, as a general of other departments, although Huo Jun stationed troops in Changsha, he had the right to cross the current Jingnan Assassin Shi Liu Mi and directly write to Kou Feng. He ordered the congregation to come to the hall to deliberate. , Immediately, Huo Jun ordered again.
"No." As soon as he agreed, the soldiers immediately rushed out of the door and gathered the generals to go.
Soon, Huo Jun put on his armor and came to the hall. Several generals under the tent have also arrived. Among them, the military Sima Zhou Shun, who has the heaviest qualifications and is also Kou Feng's confidant, is the most prominent.
Don't sit on Huo Jun's left side.
Zhou Shun was a water thief and then surrendered to Koufeng, and then conscripted. For Kou Feng to start the old minister. He is also brave and good at fighting, and is better than commanding troops, Huo Jun has always respected him.
"There is news that Tai Shi Ci will come to Youxian with 7,000 troops and will arrive soon. Tai Shi Ci is a fierce general in Jiangdong, brave and unstoppable, and must not be guarded against.
, Huo Jun stood up again and said: "Gather the soldiers to defend the city, and the soldiers who have returned home on leave will also be summoned immediately." If you don't come, cut it off. ”
Huo Jun's soldiers are all from Changsha, and some often ask for leave to return to their hometowns.
"No." Led by Zhou Shun, all the generals should respond to the promise.
Immediately, Huo Jun personally led 3,000 soldiers to the head of Youxian County, waiting for Tai Shici to arrive.
To the east, about thirty miles from the city, there is a large village. There are thousands of people, since Kou Feng owned Changsha, he used his uncle Liu Mi as the guard.
Although Liu Mi's talent is insufficient, he is also clear.
Since then, Changsha has been a great rule. The people were rich, and later migrated to the Shanyue people, and the northern plundering population came here. Changsha, which was originally vast and sparsely populated, revealed a sense of densely populated areas.
There is a faint shadow of prosperity. There are many such large villages in Changsha.
After several days of traveling, Tai Shici's army appeared not far from the village.
Tai Shi Ci is a fierce general, and the soldiers under the tent are naturally elite. There were 7,000 soldiers, the team was tightly organized, and a sharp spirit soared into the sky.
Tai Shi Ci rode the horse in front, riding a Xiliang war horse under his crotch, wearing golden armor, holding a long spear in his hand, and carrying a family heirloom bow on his back.
Tai Shi Charity Shot, once attacked a city with Bie Ce, someone in the city insulted Cho Ce, Tai Shi Ci bent his bow, shot the man's left arm, and nailed it to the door panel.
became famous with one shot, and no one in the army was unconvinced. At this moment, it was the first time in several years that he had come out of the battle, so naturally he brought the guy who was eating.
He was followed by the flag-bearers. A pole embroidered with "Taishi, the two words of the flag in the hands of the flag soldiers, fluttering in the wind, teeth and claws.
After days of hurrying, the soldiers were tired. Seeing that Youxian was approaching and there was another big village here, Tai Shici thought for a moment, and Le Ma ordered: "Order the soldiers to go to the village to get water and bury the pot to make rice." ”
"No." The deputy general of the tent answered the promise and led hundreds of people to rush to the village in front of him, while Tai Shici led all the soldiers and chose an open place to rest.
When their army arrived, they took some water from the well and made food. In Tai Shici's opinion, it should be a very simple matter, so he ordered the soldiers to bury the pot first and get firewood.
When the water arrives, you can make rice.
I didn't want to, but I got into trouble.
A moment later, the lieutenant general, who had just been sent to fetch water, came back with a gloomy face. The soldiers also escorted back an old man who was dressed plainly, but stood tall.
As the old man walked, he scolded: "Thief, kill if you want to kill." ”
Tai Shici looked at this, and was quite annoyed in his heart. He was loyal and righteous, and he had some friendship with the great Confucian Kong Rong at that time. For the sake of the general, he also treats the soldiers well and cherishes the people.
When Tai Shi Ci came, he explained to the generals under his tent that they must not harm the people. Treat each other with a dagger.
No, as soon as he arrived in Youxian, some generals actually committed his taboo.
The deputy general led hundreds of soldiers to escort the old man, and the old man scolded him non-stop, but in Tai Shici's opinion, he offended the old man.
An old man should also be the most respected in the village, and if he offends the old man, he offends the village. Is this called courtesy?
"What's going on?" Tai Shici got up personally, came to the front of the deputy general, and asked in an unkind tone.
This deputy general also knew Tai Shici's taboo, and he didn't dare to hide it at the moment, so he told what happened. However, the deputy general was ordered to go to the village to fetch water, and in accordance with Tai Shici's rules, he first visited the elders in the village. That is, the old man in front of him.
The old man was very enthusiastic at the beginning, and even enthusiastically flattered the lieutenant. However, when the old man learned that he was a Jiangdong general, his face immediately changed.
Not only was it polite, but it secretly beckoned the villagers and threw afternoon dung, horse dung and other things in the well water.
Let the good well water become very smelly. And scolded the thieves more than once.
"Why is the old gentleman like this?" Tai Shi Ci frowned deeply and bent over to ask.
The old man may also be tired of scolding, and when the deputy general spoke, he didn't say a word. At this time, Tai Shi Ci asked him, he glanced at Tai Shi Ci and said, "Jiangdong, the thief also." Repeatedly raised troops to rebel and attack our Great Chu. Now I, the Marquis of Chu, the general of Zhendong, and the Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong are just subordinates of the Marquis of Chu, not only do not listen to orders, but also come to make trouble. As Chu Min, who do you scold if you don't scold? ”
The old man was coaxed and looked down on the people of Jiangdong. When he talked about Chu Hou, his face naturally showed reverence, and he claimed that Chu Min showed a proud look.
Not only is loyalty and righteousness floating, but also the voice is more coarse.
made Tai Shici frown, in today's troubled times, how many people will show their apprehension when they see the army coming. But instead of this, this man supported Kou Feng so much.
He polluted the well water and did not give them Jiangdong soldiers to eat.
It is rumored that Kou sealed into Jiangxia, annexed Jiujiang, and entered Changsha. Not only did they help them build deep wells, dig rivers, and survive that once-in-a-century natural disaster.
And build schools and appoint talents. The three counties prospered, and the people were attached.
Now Kou Feng is divided into Jingchu, and the place is thousands of miles long. Hundreds of thousands of armor. But it's still these three counties at all. As long as the three counties are not lost, even if Kou Feng is defeated, he can retreat to the three counties and save himself.
Tai Shi Ci had already heard about it, and sighed at that time that Kou Feng had won the hearts of the people. Jiangdong has gone through three generations and more than ten years, and that's it.
But when I saw this ordinary old man today, I dared to be an enemy with the army. insulted Wu Bing as a thief, and loyalty and righteousness floated in his face. Seeing it with his own eyes, he knew how Kou Feng won the hearts of the people.
Suddenly, there was a sense of depression that rushed straight to the head. He had planned to occupy Youxian and Anxian and expand to help Yuzhang's defense.
I didn't expect it, but it was like this.
This is regarded as opening the gates of the city and breaking the city. I don't know if there will be people in the city who will secretly open the city gate to welcome the Chu army into the city.
If you are unpopular, how can you defend the city?
This is tantamount to a basin of cold water, poured on Tai Shici's heart, and his spirit was reduced by half at once. I was depressed in my heart, but Tai Shici had a good personality, waved his hand, and ordered: "Since the old man doesn't welcome us, we can't force it, let it go." ”
"No." The lieutenant replied and left with the old man.
Immediately, Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to go to the rivers and rivers to get water, and then bury the pot to make rice.
