Chapter 657: Fleeing the Road
Standing on the south bank of Jishui, he let out a long sigh as he looked at the camps on the north bank. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎ Clever children remember to play super fast hand updates.◎ Fine cold sweat poured out of his bruised forehead and soaked his battle robe. He felt dizzy and spinning, his legs could no longer support him, and he staggered back two steps. Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked with concern: "Sir, you are just recovering from your illness, don't be too tired, rest for a while." ”
The judge sat on the Hu bed, took the water handed over by Wen Chou, took a sip, took two breaths, stared at the northern sky with a distracted gaze, and after a while, he muttered: "Zijun, can we still go back to our hometown and bury our bones in the ancestral grave?" ”
Wen Chou looked up at the sky, his face was sad, and he was speechless. There are two meanings in the words of the trial, one is whether you can escape back, and the other is whether you will die in the future, and whether you have the face to see your ancestors. In fact, this question is just a question, that is, whether Yuan Shao still has a chance to win.
There is no need to answer this question, the interrogator has an answer, and Wen Chou also knows that he has an answer, but this answer is not what they want, so they are unwilling, so they are unwilling to accept it.
The judge's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, as if he couldn't bear the weight of the iron armor on his body. Wen Chou frowned. "Sir, you'd better take off your iron armor first, and it's not too late to put it on again in wartime. The weather ......"
"It's nothing, since you lead the troops to fight and die on the battlefield, it is also a matter of course." The judge said slowly, every word seemed to consume the last of his physical strength, and his eyes were a little scattered. "I really regret it......"
Wen Chou looked around vigilantly, and all the cronies around them were brought out from home. There was no face, so he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said, "Sir, let's say a few words, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." ”
The judge remained motionless, staring at the other side and narrowing his eyes. Clam up. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, "Zijun." Get ready to strike. ”
Wen Chou was taken aback: "Sir, this is disobeying the lord's military order." ”
"No, I'm saving him." The judge interrupted Wen Chou's words. The face is a little blue. "Even if Xu Yu relieved the siege of Pingyu, they would not be able to defeat Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has Jingzhou and Yangzhou as the backing, what about us? We have nothing, the hearts of the people in Yanzhou have been burned by me, and everything we can grab is gone, and we will no longer be able to raise a grain of food. If we can't break through Cao Cāo's position before the food is cut off, and join Tian Feng, we will die. ”
Wen Chou's face was ugly, and he knew the truth of what he said, seven or eight days have passed since he received Xu You's news. The military rations raised by extraordinary means were almost exhausted, but with these seven or eight days, Liu Xiu was able to mobilize a large amount of military rations from Jingzhou to replenish them, and the two counties of Nanyang and Yingchuan had fallen into Liu Xiu's hands for more than two years, and they had recovered very well. It is close to the battlefield, and it is not a problem at all to provide food for tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time. If Yuan Shao had fought Liu Xiu at that time, there might still be a chance, but now, this opportunity has been exhausted in waiting.
Wen Chou looked at the face of the judge and hesitated for a while. Gritted his teeth: "Just Mr. Yi." Please return to the Chinese army to preside, and I will lead the army to break the formation. ”
"We need to hurry, but we can't rush it." Tian Feng's face became whiter and whiter, and he took Wen Chou's hand, his palms were wet and full of cold sweat. "Zijun, send someone to send a letter to Tian Feng first, without his cooperation, it will be difficult for us to rush out. Zijun, you are a rare general, fight a good battle, defeat Cao Cāo, let the world see your talent, don't bury yourself. ”
The judge was out of breath and out of breath, Wen Chou's eyes were red, he held the judge's hand in his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Sir, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”
"Zijun, work hard...... "The judge was exhausted, and closed his eyes weakly, leaving only his thin chest still rising and falling violently. Wen Chou wiped his tears and commanded softly: "Come on, send Mr. back to the Chinese army to rest." ”
Wen Chou arranged for people to contact Tian Feng on the one hand, and on the other hand, he reorganized the army and prepared for a breakthrough. When he was sick, he had to take on the responsibility of the former army commander. Although he has not yet received Yuan Shao's order to break through the siege, he believes in the trial and the judgment of the trial, no matter whether Xu Yu wins or loses, it is a very dangerous decision to sit and wait here. The trial would rather disobey Yuan Shao's orders to take a way out for the army, on the other hand, if the trial match wants to give him a chance to show himself, how can he let it go.
All the officers and men of the former army have not relaxed, and in just half a day, Wen Chou was ready to attack. In the evening, he got Tian Feng's reply, Tian Feng was more anxious than them, and questioned the matching, what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and break through Cao Cāo's blockade, isn't it safer to attack Liu Xiu with Xu You after opening up the grain road?
Faced with Tian Feng's questioning, the interrogator could not answer. Although they are both from Jizhou, the relationship between him and Tian Feng is far less intimate than that between him and Wen Chou. Tian Feng is also an upright person, once he argues with Yuan Shao, it is likely that all his complaints today will be poked out. Therefore, he remained silent, and only asked Wen Chou to attack as soon as it was dawn.
As soon as the day was dawning, Wen Chou was already ready, he put on his armor, and came to the trial with twenty armor soldiers, holding the helmet in his left hand and stroking his chest with his right hand: "Sir, I am about to start leaving." ”
"Be careful." After a night's rest, his face was better.
"These twenty armor soldiers have been trained by my own hands. I left him to my husband, and in case things went wrong, I asked him to believe them and leave with them. With a wave of Wen Chou's hand, a stout armorer stood up and bowed to the judge. Wen Chou said: "Sir, this is my brother Wen Jiu, and his martial arts are reasonable." After I leave, he will protect him. ”
The judge glanced at the armor soldier and nodded: "Zijun bothered." ”
Wen Chou saluted again and turned to leave. Out of the tent of the Chinese army, he jumped on his horse, took his personal guards out of the camp, galloped west for more than twenty miles, and stopped in front of a reedy water.
"Captain." As soon as Wen Chou stopped, a tall and thin figure came out of the reeds and shouted softly.
"Are you ready?" Wen Chou turned over and dismounted, and asked in a low voice.
"Ready." The man walked up, talked to Wen Chou, and led Wen Chou to the depths of the reeds. The reeds had already been cut down quite a bit, leaving a narrow passage, along which a hundred and ten paces had been taken, and dozens of small boats appeared in front of them. Each ship was filled with grass. There were people dressed as people who were throwing grass into the river.
"We came here in disguise as people who delivered horses and grass." The man said with a smile: "Lord Tian doesn't know where to get the rumor, Cao Jun didn't doubt it at all, and urged us to hurry up, saying that the horse grass that Cao Ren was riding was running out." ”
Wen Chou did not say anything. He was too familiar with the person in front of him, and he had always admired Tian Feng's ability, and he didn't doubt it at all that he could arrange for people to pass through Cao Cāo's defense area.
Wen Chou waved his hand, and the guard battalion passed by him quickly, boarded the ship, lay down in the cabin, and then piled grass on them, still disguised as a haystack. More than 300 people were divided into dozens of small boats, and the sides of the ships were almost submerged in water. Thanks to the small waves, otherwise it is very likely to capsize.
Wen Chou was the last to board the boat, which broke away from the shore and went down the river. After walking more than ten miles, he went ashore three or four miles away from the camp, and hid in a reed bush on the north bank, waiting quietly.
……
Cheng Yu got up very early, and he received news from the scouts that the Yuan army on the other side of the river had a strange movement and was likely to attack. Although Cheng Yu hadn't received the relevant information yet, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Yuan Shao broke through, and he had already prepared to block it.
He called the lieutenant general. "Line up by the river, and don't let Yuan Jun cross the river alone and one horse."
Yu Ban had a cold face, listened to Cheng Yu's order, didn't say a word, turned around and left. After a short time, he took a thousand of his subordinates out of the camp, lined up near the river, and faced the camp of Yuan's army. When he arrived, Yuan Jun had already left the camp and was preparing by the river, the materials and tools for building the pontoon bridge were piled up on the riverbank, and countless craftsmen were busy. They joined the planks together and pushed them into the river one by one, so that the swimmers could hide under the planks to avoid the arrows, and in the upstream direction, a group of soldiers dragged a few thick ropes to prevent the pontoon from being swept away by the water.
Yu Ban frowned, he had also been a striker, opening roads in the mountains, and building bridges in the water, these were commonplace, and he could see at a glance that Yuan Jun's means of building pontoon bridges were very effective, and they were greatly improved from the methods they commonly used. In this way, the pontoon bridge will be built faster than he estimated, in other words, the opponent's attack will come faster than they thought.
Yu Ban didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called the herald, and ordered solemnly: "Immediately report to General Cheng, the enemy's main force is about to attack, ask him to arrange support immediately." ”
After receiving the news from Yu Ban, Cheng Yu was having breakfast, and he was stunned for a moment: "So fast? He knew Yu Ban's Xingge very well and knew that he would not make such a judgment without any basis. However, generally speaking, the river crossing operation will take a long time to build a pontoon bridge, before the pontoon bridge is built, it is possible for part of the advance team to cross the river to establish a blocking position, but the main force cannot do so, they can only wait for the pontoon bridge to be built before crossing the river.
Cheng Yu thought about it and decided to take a look for himself. He went out of the camp, took the guard battalion, and walked towards the blocking position by the river. In the distance, he heard the drums of war on the other side of the river. He frowned, kicked the horse's belly, and the horse ran briskly, and soon came to the river.
Yu Ban greeted him, looked at Yuan Jun who was busy on the other side, and said worriedly: "General, I think today's battle may be more difficult, once the attack starts, I am afraid that it will be like thunder." We only have 5,000 people here, I'm afraid we ...... change."
Cheng Yu frowned, did not speak, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked people to immediately report the news here to Cao Ren and Cao Cāo of Dingtao behind him. He believed that Yu Ban's judgment was correct, but he thought of more than that, he was afraid that Yuan Jun was going to launch a final attack, and this was just a point, not all. He only saw the battle flag of the trial, but he didn't see the battle flag of Wen Chou, where is Wen Chou? Where is Yuan Shao's main force? rq
