Chapter 23: Dig a pit quickly
Only if the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao continues for a long time can Gao Yuan gain enough time to develop. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] And if he wants to develop, he still needs to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, in the battle of Guandu, Gao Yuan could not sit back and watch Yuan Shao be defeated by Cao Cao. At the same time, Yuan Shao would not help him for no reason, so Gao Yuan just used the defeat of Cao Cao to give Yuan Shao some sweetness.
Gao Yuan saw that Chun Yuqiong had no intention of increasing the garrison, and he only had 500 people in his headquarters, and his manpower was a little insufficient, so he said: "Please ask the general to temporarily transfer some men and horses to me, dig trenches, and increase defense." ”
Chun Yuqiong frowned, "All ministries have tasks on their bodies. ”
In Gao Yuan's view, Chun Yuqiong's words are perfunctory. There are 20,000 horses and 10,000 people in Wuchao, who regularly transport grain and grass to supply various camps. With 10,000 people stationed in the garrison, training should be done in addition to the garrison, and what task can be more important than increasing the garrison?
After Gao Yuan left the big tent, he gathered his headquarters and began to dig a trench just before the black nest. He loudly encouraged the soldiers that digging trenches would not only ensure the safety of grain and grass, but also their own safety.
He came from later generations, and unlike contemporary generals, he is really approachable and loves soldiers like a son. Therefore, although he is not a general of the Yuan army, he also has a certain appeal in the Hebei army. Many soldiers on leave joined in, up to 5,000 people, digging trenches together.
With the concerted efforts, at ten o'clock in the evening, a trench was dug that was one man high and two feet wide.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals are there, but there is no lofty ambition. In front of everyone, there is a fierce feast on the table and a big altar of wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Chun Yuqiong suddenly asked, "Gao Mengyan is still digging?" ”
After getting a positive answer, the generals showed disdain, so Chun Yuqiong raised his wine glass and said, "I'll wait for the drink, don't care about him as an outsider!" Come on, go and tell General Gao that he will take over from General Lu Weihuang to guard the camp tonight, and we will drink together. ”
It was late at night.
Knowing that Gao Yuan, who was on duty tonight, he instructed his soldiers to pour the stored fire oil into the trench, and put a branch of sackcloth on top of the trench, and sprinkled the earth to turn it into a trap, which was impossible to detect in the night.
Zhang Liao was puzzled and puzzled, and said loftyly: "At night, our army returns to the village, and the trench becomes a trap, so that we can guard against the enemy's unexpected sneak attack." ”
Zhang Liao and others were convinced.
The most important thing in the grain and grass camp is to garrison, and to prevent trouble before it happens, which has won the admiration of the soldiers, especially in the continuous sound of drinking and music from the Chinese army camp. In a war, which soldier is willing to follow a general who only drinks and does nothing? It's like playing with your own life.
The silence of the night, the sound of the Chinese army's drinking and music became louder.
Gao Yuan looked at the direction from which the wine order came, frowning slightly, but his heart moved, "The herald orders all departments to be on strict alert, and there are two thousand sergeants lurking in the gate." ”
Then he personally inspected the camp and explained them one by one. When he returned to Yuanmen, he estimated that Chun Yuqiong and the others should have drunk too much, so he said to the herald: "You go to report to General Chun, and say that I will invite him to see the new fortifications." ”
"Order!" The herald departed.
After a while, Chun Yuqiong and others, who had drunk high, came together, and they all hugged the big wine jar, their faces were red and their necks were thick with the smell of wine. On weekdays, Gao Yuan rarely drinks much with them. Therefore, they took advantage of the high wine to pass on the message to each other, "Today must be poured too high." ”
Soldiers drink alcohol, if it is other camps, I am afraid that such a situation will not occur at all in military law. But the Wuchao camp is different, the drunkard Chun Yuqiong is the main general, what are the main generals afraid of?
Chun Yuqiong didn't look at Gao Yuan's fortifications at all, and the Dama Golden Sword was on the top of the seat brought by the guards, and beckoned: "Meng Yan, you are guarding...... Are you ...... today? Established...... It's a great achievement. Uh~, come, drink this cup full! So saying, he stretched out the jar of wine.
This glass is big enough.
Gao Yuan invited Chun Yuqiong and others to come out, and he also had his own purpose. So, he did not refuse to come, pushed the cup to change the lamp, and raised the glass frequently.
When Chun Yuqiong and the five of them saw it, they were overjoyed, and they thought that this was a rare opportunity to fill it high. As a result, they also did not refuse to come, pushing the cup to change the lamp, and frequently raising the glass.
However, Gao Yuan was poured out of the high wine of later generations, and Chun Yuqiong and others who drank rice wine were his opponents.
After an hour, including Chun Yuqiong, they all leaned on the seat with a backrest, and fell asleep with a wine jar flowing with a huff.
Although Chun Yuqiong and other generals drank too much, they were on duty tonight. The soldiers knew that Gao Yuan was strict in governing the army and did not dare to be lazy. So, although most of the generals drank too much, the soldiers were more guarded than before.
Zhou Cang was watching from the side with Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulder, secretly giving a thumbs up, and said, "The lord has a lot of money, and he is not drunk after drinking three altars." ”
Wine is character, wine gall is tiger guts, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao were amazed.
However, Zhang Liao was incredulous, and asked carefully: "Lord, ...... you Wouldn't it be ...... you poured too much into General Chun Yuqiong. ”
Gao Yuan spit out the smell of wine and smiled, and said, "It's okay, just let them drink too much." If you go to inspect the whole camp again, Cao Mengde will definitely come to rob the camp tonight, and all departments must be on guard at all times. ”
Zhang Liao shook his head and left, he couldn't see what Gao Yuan thought, "The lord is getting more and more unfathomable...... ”
In the following time, Gao Yuan was also holding a wine jar, and he looked into the darkness outside the camp from time to time, "Why haven't you come yet?" Xu You should have arrived a long time ago, Cao Mengde, if you delay the dispatch of troops, you will lose your reputation as "able to break big things". ”
Others are afraid of a sneak attack, but at this moment, Gao Yuan can't wait for Cao Jun to come and sneak attack quickly.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong and the others' personal soldiers all went to support their own drunken generals, after Gao Yuan saw it, he snapped, and the case in front of him shook the sky, he pretended to be drunk, and said angrily: "I haven't finished drinking yet, why are you little guys in a hurry?" Well~! ”
Gao Yuan was wearing the armor of the god of war, two feathers more than one meter long were swinging on the golden crown, and there was a fierce Zhou Cang carrying Fang Tian's painting halberd behind him, the momentum was indescribable. His eyes widened, and the pro-soldiers of all departments suddenly tightened their chrysanthemums, and hurriedly let go and retreated to the side, thinking to themselves, "Anyway, I drank too much, not at this time, when General Gao Yuan also drank and lay down, we will send them away together." ”
On the other hand, in the dark night, outside the Wuchao camp, three prostrate Cao Jun Tanma were also shocked by Gao Yuan's slap, and hurriedly crawled into the distance, found the hidden war horse, and galloped away.
And five miles away, under the moonlight, the black pressed a large group of cavalry solemnly, as many as four or five thousand people, covering the radius, but there was silence without a sound. The riders are all majestic, armed with wars. The horse's mouth is stuffed with chew, the horse's hooves are wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horse's buttocks are supported by fire oil and dry firewood.
The person at the head is Cao Cao, the overlord of the Central Plains, who is riding on a horse at the moment, holding the Yitian Sword on his waist, and is anxiously waiting for news.
