Chapter 234: Breaking the Yellow River
Under the city of Luoyang, the flames were raging, countless scarecrows caught fire, and countless soldiers with scarecrows were shot. In short, the humanoid object that fell to the ground, real people and dummies.
The firelight reflected all the figures of the coalition forces, and the head of the coalition forces, Yuan Shao, and others were also faintly visible.
I saw Cao Cao, the leader of the allied forces, standing in front of the city gate tower with his toes proud, and exclaimed: "Yuan Benchu, with my son-in-law here, you want to deceive my arrows?" You don't have that ability yet! ”
Cao Cao was very pleased, he was not greedy for merit, and in addition, he did begin to like his son-in-law. On the other hand, Cao Cao was thrown into the entire Guanwai region and suffered a blow, which was a big setback. If Cao Cao was still young, he might become more and more courageous, but Cao Cao was already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven after all. Ambition took a sharp turn. As he gets older, he sometimes can't help but think, "As long as there is a son-in-law, it shouldn't be a problem to enjoy your old age in peace." ”
So Cao Cao said that his son-in-law was still his own, so he went with Gao Yuan to celebrate the victory again.
It is said that the coalition army was defeated and returned, and after an inventory, more than 20,000 people were lost.
Liu Bei secretly "wept", almost all of the three thousand soldiers and horses he brought went in, and there were only a few dozen who could move, and they completely became the commander of the light pole.
Cai Mao also scolded secretly, and said in his heart that Yuan Benchu was a thief, not to mention the arrow, and the people were gone.
Yuan Shao was "wealthy" and could bear the loss, but he was still very happy, fortunately Liu Bei and Cai Mao were at the front, if not, the loss would be heavy.
After this incident, the coalition forces had to take a temporary break.
In a hurry, the coalition led by Yuan Shao and the allies of Gao Yuan and Cao Cao were in a stalemate for a month.
In the blink of an eye, June is here.
As the saying goes, June days. Just think about the face of the doll, and change when you say it. This saying corresponds most to the Central Plains. Coincidentally, Luoyang, Henan Province is the Central Plains region of the serious 800.
On this day, the pouring rain came down with a bang, and it didn't stop for three days.
Gao Yuan stood in the city gate building. Looking at the direction of the Yellow River in the north, he was silent. He thought about it a lot, saying that he had a good time with Lao Cao's family during this period of time, and everyone was like a family. The younger generation of the old Cao family came to him all day long to ask for advice, but thanks to the rain these days, they rested.
And Guo Jia and others also came to ask for advice.
Although there are not many theories in today's world, there are too many theories in later generations. It seems that Guo Jia and these people are "uninformed", and they all admire the lofty concept of governance. This matter is easy to understand, after all, the future generations of Gao Yuan have been connected with reality, and when combined, even if it is taken out of the Tang Dynasty, it is much more advanced than now.
But now, Gao Yuan's biggest concern is the Yellow River.
"Virtuous son-in-law. Virtuous son-in-law? Cao Cao went up to the city gate tower and looked outside. A heavy rain drifting in white flowers. On this rainy day, the coalition army will not come to attack the city, he greeted for a while, and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, a banquet has been held at home, and we are a family." Have a good drink today. ”
A large family, that is, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, the older generation, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Nan, the younger generation.
Gao Yuan still admires Cao Cao very much, if he is not an enemy, he must be a rare old man. He reminded: "Lord Yue, it rains heavily for days, and I am very worried about the flood situation of the Yellow River. ”
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and then he was relieved, and said: "A virtuous son-in-law should not worry about the sky, you and I have strengthened the river on both banks." We have already done our best to prevent it, if we still send water, this is the destiny of heaven, and it is beyond the reach of man. ”
Gao Yuan also made sense when he thought about it, he and Cao Cao both attached great importance to the construction of the embankment of the Yellow River, and the future generations of high-tech will have to send a big flood, and now if it really sends water, it will be impossible to resist.
So, Gao Yuan and Cao Cao returned to the mansion, Cao Hong and others had been waiting for a long time, and everyone was drinking and chatting on this rainy day. For a while, it was also a joy.
And the Allied soldiers, except for those on duty, all took shelter from the rain in the barracks.
On the other hand, the coalition soldiers were killed.
The coalition forces here are all military tents, not wooden barracks, and this heavy rain is continuous, not only the military tents are leaking, but the ground is also soaked. Immediately after, of course, the bedding and clothes were all soaked.
Suffice it to say, except for a fairly first-class officer, the rest of them were all wet all day, and they no longer knew what it was like to be dry.
The big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao's tent, used too many materials, and it was still able to ensure dryness.
Saying that on this day, Yuan Shao sat on the head, and after a while, Liu Bei and Cai Mao came in.
Yuan Shao didn't raise his eyes, and said, "Two, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Bei and Cai Mao glanced at each other, the only thing they did when they arrived was that they didn't want to do it. Because Yuan Shao's war against Luoyang did not have any substantive breakthrough. Whoever has the time to spend hundreds of thousands of people here with him is an ally, and he doesn't have time.
Liu Bei reminded Cai Mao with his eyes, and Cai Mao immediately said: "Duke Yuan, that's the case, my lord came to order my Jingzhou soldiers to return to Wancheng to arrest them. ”
Yuan Shao was not happy when he heard this, this is to break up. Liu Biao, an ally, is still very important to Yuan Shao at present, as for Liu Bei, there is no one and no money, and Yuan Shao doesn't take it seriously at all. He was very dissatisfied with his ally's behavior, and immediately said in displeasure: "Deju, I'm afraid this is not okay?" ”
Cai Mao was prepared and continued: "The lord has an order, and as a subordinate, I have to obey it. ”
Yuan Shao was even more dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't know how to say it, at this time, a voice came from outside, "With the help of my lord, Liu Jingzhou was able to get the land of Wanluo." Now, the destruction of Luoyang is imminent, and Liu Jingzhou is about to withdraw his troops, is it the work of his allies? spread it out and make the world laugh. ”
When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Tian Feng who walked in.
Cai Mao was very embarrassed when he heard this, so he said: "My lord didn't say that he wouldn't help Duke Yuan break the city, but the life of the soldiers has been really difficult recently, and he is afraid of epidemics, so it will be a big problem. ”
He also made sense when he said that people cannot live in heavy rain, and sooner or later they will get sick. Military life is all intensive, and if one person gets sick, he will infect a large area.
In this regard, Yuan Shao had nothing to say, but he didn't want Jingzhou soldiers to leave, because now that he is gone, he can come next time, which is also the reason why Yuan Shao did not retreat. He hurriedly asked Tian Feng for help.
Tian Feng touched his beard and said, "General Cai, my lord already has a plan to break the city, just in these two or three days, you see, you have to help." ”
"Two or three days......." Cai Mao is really hard to refuse.
At this time, Liu Bei added, "I don't know how to break the city?" ”
Yuan Shao thought that Tian Feng must have a strategy, so he couldn't wait.
Tian Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said, "Break the Yellow River." ”
"Ahh
The people in the army tent were shocked. (To be continued......)
