Chapter 62: Resolute and resolute
This time, Sun Jian led the army to participate in the matter of discussing Dong, and he also had certain ambitions, but he could peek into the hands of the people he led, but I am afraid that his ambition is no less than that of Wen Chou.
Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, and Sun Jiansi, who is well known to Wen Chou, has a lot of generals! In addition to these four people, there are also Sun Ben and Wu Jing, two relatives of Sun Jian, who led the troops to accompany them, which is all of Sun Jian's forces at the moment, although it is not much stronger than Wen Chou's forces, but it is not necessarily weaker than Wen Chou's forces. Talking and laughing, he came to the outside of Yangzhai County, but Sun Jian was shocked to see tens of thousands of black pressure riding stopped on the field not far from the county, so he pointed and asked: "Zixiao, what's going on?" Have not your armies encamped? ”
Wen Chou replied: "No, this is the part of Kong Yuzhou. The contemptible army has long been encamped in the south of the county. ”
"Oh, why did Kong Yuzhou make tens of thousands of troops sleep in the wilderness and not camp in the wilderness?" Sun Jian was even more skeptical.
"Hehe, it's really a soldier who is cherished by Kong Yuzhou, and he doesn't want to make the soldiers hard, so he will stay in the field temporarily."
"Tens of thousands of troops, how can there be a reason not to camp, it's just nonsense!" Sun Jian said angrily. In his thoughts, this is the basic quality necessary for marching and fighting, and Kong Ling, as a state that crusaded against Dong Zhuo, can be regarded as a prince of one side, sitting on tens of thousands of troops, and it is really infuriating that he cannot use it correctly.
"Exactly, contemptible people think the same, but they can't know the wonderful ideas of Kong Yuzhou! Or maybe he's waiting for our camp! "Wen Chou is also quite unusual.
"Our camp?" Sun Jian was slightly stunned, then turned around and smiled: "I'm afraid it's the camp of Zixiao!" Yes, that's it! Ha ha! At the same time, he said: "Since we are allies, the contemptible people will not sit back and watch Kong Yuzhou seize your military camp!" "Sun Jian is not a stupid person, and when he thinks about it again, he has just entered the Yingchuan County Boundary, Kong Ling naturally will not be eyeing him. It was all at once.
As for the dispute between Wen Chou and Kong Ling, on the way to Yangzhai, he heard Han Meng say something, and he can understand Wen Chou very well.
And, according to the current trend. Now there are a total of three ways of soldiers and horses will be divided into Yingchuan, of which he and Wen Chou are both "guest troops" who come from afar, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, it is unrealistic to expect to transport grain from this county here, then there is only borrowing Yingchuan and Yuzhou, and he and Wen Chou two roads of people and horses combined, a total of tens of thousands of people, people eat horses and chew, and the daily use is very large. If this logistics supply is entrusted to Kong Ling's hands, it is like being choked by Kong Ling, although the army is to fight Dong together, but he and Wen Chou have no friendship with Kong Ling, who knows what Kong Ling thinks? I can't rest assured. Therefore, even if it is not for the unified command of future operations, only for the supply of grain and ordnance for the headquarters, even if Wen Chou does not compete with Kong Ling. After he arrives in Yangzhai, he will also compete with Kong Ling for this dominance.
It's just that although he knows a little about the dispute between Wen Chou and Kong Ling. But he didn't expect Kong Ling to hit the idea on Wen Chou's camp. And he was invited by Wen Chou to Yingchuan, and Wen Chou is two in one, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and he suddenly felt the same hatred and hatred, and did not say anything else, and asked directly: "I heard Han Meng say." Kong Yuzhou now lives in the back of the county government? ”
"Exactly." Wen Chou understood Sun Jian's intentions and said immediately.
Sun Jian called the left and right Zhu to come forward and ordered: "Dezhang, Demou, Yigong, Qing and other leading troops will go to the east of the county first, build a fortress and set up camp; Boyang, Gongfu, Damao. Qing waited for a thousand paces to enter the city from me. ”
The east of the county was the camp prepared by Wen Chou for Sun Jian, and the generals Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang promised to rush back to the army, shouting and giving orders, and ordering the army and horses to turn to the east.
The three generals, Sun Ben, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao, ordered five hundred fine armor and waited by Sun Jian's side, ready to enter the city from him.
Wen Chou knew what he was doing, and said with a smile: "Brother Wentai, you Fangzhi, it has been very hard all the way, it is better to go to the camp of the junior brother first, and after I have picked up the wind and dust with you, it is not too late to enter the city tomorrow." ”
"Since I have been the Taishou of Yingchuan for Yuan Gong, now that I am in the county, how can I not enter the county government first? And when I first went to see the officials of the county government and settled down in my residence, it was not too late to go to the banquet. Sun Jian said with a smile.
"Since Qing has this intention, then the matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust for Qing will wait for Qing to meet the county officials. …… Do you want me to go with you? Wen Chou said again.
"No need, I just need to send someone to lead me in front." Sun Jianhao said heartily.
Zhou Lu also followed Wen Chou to greet Sun Jian, Wen Chou called him closer, and said to Sun Jian with a smile: "Zhou Jun has been in the county government for a long time, he is familiar with the door, and he is familiar with the county officials, so let him guide the way." ”
Zhou Luxin said: "Kong Yuzhou is now living in the back of the county government, I heard General Sun's meaning, 'I have seen the officials and settled down the residence' Yunyun, obviously going to drive Kong Yuzhou away?" He had just arrived in the county, although he had the help of the lord, but the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Kong Yuzhou's account were far more than the joint soldiers of him and the lord, and he dared to go directly to Kong Yuzhou,...... Before General Sun arrived, the lord said to us, 'Sun Wentai is a fierce general, Jiangdong Tiger', this is not bad at all, this person is really brave, and he is indeed a fierce tiger. It's just that his attitude towards scholars is far inferior to that of the lord! ”
Sun Jian looked up at the sky, it was still early in the evening, he raised his whip and nodded at Yangzhai County, which was a few miles away, and said: "This place is close to the county government, Qing can go back to the camp first to clean up the wine and food for me, at most an hour, I can arrive." ”
Because Sun Jian came from the south of the county, the place where Wen Chou parted ways with him was in the south of the county, about two or three miles away from Yangzhai County, and about ten miles away from Wen Chou's camp.
When he arrived in the camp, Wen Chou was not busy ordering Sun Jianzhi to prepare a banquet, but urgently summoned Yan Liang, Zhao Yun, Wen Ba and other captains of various departments, and ordered: "Those who practice in the school field of all departments will return to the camp immediately, and those who are in the tent will immediately put on armor, and order the three armies to immediately assemble and prepare for war,...... Ziyong, take the knights of Rubu out of the camp to be on guard. ”
Yan Liang and others were inexplicable.
Yan conscience said: "Didn't the eldest brother go to greet General Sun?" I also saw General Sun's troops passing by from afar on the road outside the camp, with banners like forests and dust, but why didn't it take long for the eldest brother to return alone? Do you want me to wait for war? …… Where did General Sun go? Who are you fighting for? He asked, "What happened to the eldest brother?" Why did you suddenly order the three arms to fight? ”
Wen Chou replied: "Wen Tai led a thousand elite gallops to Yangzhai. ”
"Gallop ......." Yan Liang only said a small half of his words, and after only saying one word, he woke up and understood the meaning of Wen Chou's words. He glanced at Zhao Yun and the others, including the originally lazy and lazy Wen Ba. At this time, he also straightened his waist and his face became serious.
Everyone knows: Sun Jian was guarded by Yuan Shubiao for Yingchuan, and Kong Ling is now living in the back house of the county government, and has no intention of giving in. What is it that you do? Go without saying. This is obviously aimed at Kong Ling, and his killing of Jingzhou Assassin Shi and Nanyang Taishou was not long ago, how come everyone still doesn't know the origin of the matter?
Zhao Yun seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Where is General Sun's troops?" ”
"General Sun ordered him to go to the east of the county." Wen Chou said.
Sun Jian's order to Wu Jing and others was to ask them to lead their troops to build a camp in the east of the county, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this order was actually only superficial. How could Wu Jing and the others, as his subordinates, really go to camp and settle down without heart and lungs? Needless to say, they must have gone to the east of the county to prepare for the war.
Yangzhai County is on the south bank of Yingshui, the north of the city is quite close to the water, the ground is low and damp, and it cannot be camped. In order to prevent Dong Zhuo's troops from entering the country again to kill and plunder, Zhou Lu transferred all the county soldiers to the west of the city some time ago. And the south of the city is now Wenchou's camp. Before Sun Jian arrived, perhaps to show off his might and declare his strength. In order to "deter" Wen Chou, Kong Ling placed the Yuzhou army he brought on the diagonal opposite side of Wen Chou's camp. That is, between the south of the county and the east of the county. Now Sun Jian's troops went to the east of the county to prepare for war in the east of the county, in other words, that is to say, in terms of the current situation of the three divisions of soldiers and horses, Wen Chou and Sun Jian just wrapped Kong Ling's Yuzhou army in the middle. Implicitly formed a flanking momentum.
Zhao Yunxin said: "When General Sun went to the outside of the county, he led the elite to gallop to the county, which is obviously to embarrass Kong Yuzhou, in case it doesn't work out, or if it happens." But it will definitely provoke Kong Yuzhou to be furious, maybe he will order troops to fight with me, so as soon as the lord returns to the camp, he will put my three armies on alert. ”
He thought again, "What if there is a real war?" Although General Sun is a tired soldier from afar, our department has been recuperating for a long time, and there are 4,000 county soldiers in the west of the county who can gallop to support at any time. ”
"There is a calculation but no intention", this is said to be that the Yuzhou army is unprepared at present, but Wen Chou and Sun Jianbu have made arrangements and preparations in advance, so that although the Yuzhou army has many soldiers and horses, it has no camp to protect, and it is not difficult to be defeated.
Wen Ba had a flash of inspiration and asked in a low voice: "Is my cavalry just out of the camp to prepare for war?" Do you want me to send two elites to the near side of the Yuzhou Army to monitor first? ”
In the words of "surveillance", where is the use of so many cavalry? Wen Ba wanted to put the two knights to the edge of the Yuzhou army first, once the war started, the two cavalry could immediately charge, which could cause death and injury to the Yuzhou army without camp protection and staying in the wilderness in the first time, and more importantly, cause panic, so as to facilitate the follow-up Wen and Sun cavalry and foot soldiers to attack.
Wen Chou thought with relief: "The length of the cavalry is swift and fierce. Zi Yong has been in charge of the cavalry for a long time, and he has experienced many wars, and he is no longer the fledgling Wen Ziyong who was only good at fighting the Black Mountain thieves from me in Changshan in the past. Finally, he is no longer a kid who needs to worry about everything. After pondering for a moment, he said, "There is no need for two songs so much, it is enough to send four or five horsemen, and then send a few horsemen to investigate near the county." ”
This is because Wen Chou's camp is less than fifteen miles away from the garrison of the Yuzhou army, and the cavalry is within easy reach, so there is no need to send someone to his approach for the time being, and it is not too late to go after the news can be reported.
The generals looked serious, but Tian Feng, who was standing beside Wen Chou, had a relaxed expression.
He smiled at Wen Ba and others: "Kong Yuzhou is a scribe, although the soldiers and horses under the account are prosperous, but they are not descendants, and the sources are very mixed, such as the armies of Chen, Liang, Lu, and Runan, the names belong to their command, and they actually have their own generals. I expected that General Sun would enter the city today, and Kong Yuzhou would be angry and raise troops, and nothing would be done. You can be ordered by the Ming Gong Army, and you don't need to be too nervous. ”
Tian Feng has been under the tent of Wen Chou for a long time, and his wit is outstanding, and the generals have already obeyed his ability, at this time, when they heard his analysis, they all thought it was true, their expressions were relaxed, and they responded in unison: "No." ”
Watching the generals come out of the tent, Tian Chou, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who were standing near Wen Chou, had different expressions.
Guo Jia and Tian Feng's demeanor is similar, and they are also very relaxed, although Guo Jia is relatively young, but his insight is very, and he can often grasp the root of the matter in one sentence, so as to provide good advice for Wen Chou; And Tian Chou, as the first adviser of the Wenchou forces, also has his own unique insight and has an outstanding position. Xun Yu, on the other hand, frowned.
Wen Chou saw it and asked, "Wen Ruo, what's the matter frowning?" ”
Xun Yu frowned and said: "Duke Ming, for the supply of grain and straw and the fight against Dong, it is inevitable that Duke Ming and Duke Kong will fight secretly, but now General Sun is leading troops into the county, in case it really completely angers Duke Kong, so that the two armies lose peace, even if there is no infighting, it will be unfavorable to Dong Gong." ”
Tian Chou opened his mouth and said: "Although Yingchuan has no county guard, Kong Yuzhou, as the history of the state assassin, is proudly lying in the Yingchuan County Government, and wants to take care of the affairs of Yingchuan County. Just now, Mr. Yuan Hao and the lord also said that Kong Yuzhou is a scribe and has no military talent, anyway, in the future, it will be the lord and General Sun who will rely on Dong, even if he tears his face, it will not affect the situation of Dong Dong. ”
"That being said, there are tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops under the account of Duke Kong, accounting for more than half of my Yingchuan coalition army, and it would be a pity if these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could not participate in the fight against Dong because of this." Xun Yu was still worried.
Tian Feng said with a smile: "These tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops are not the private soldiers of Kong Yuzhou, but the volunteers who raised the flag to fight Dong, yes, they are certainly the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, but they may not only be willing to obey the orders of the Yuzhou assassin, and the Ming Duke is also one of the generals who ask Dong." As long as Ming Gong and General Sun show enough wisdom and bravery, then among the generals of the various departments of the Yuzhou Army, those who have the intention of begging Dong will naturally know whose orders to follow, and if they don't have the intention of courting Dong, they just come to make up for it, then even if they don't tear their faces with Kong Yuzhou, these people will not do anything to ask Dong.
