Chapter 288: Cups
(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Very happy, as happy as red, thank you! Same as Xie Zhao Wuxian 2014, UFGW, and Renzhi Zechu. )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To the north of the pavilion, a small but steep headland, like a long snake winding into the sea, there was originally a lush forest under the mountain, but the yellow scarf that has been in trouble for more than ten years has long been cut down, as far as the eye can see, waist-length weeds and shrubs, as if stretching to the sky.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, there were originally many fishermen living in this area, but since Yuan Jun set up the camp in Guanting and demarcated the surrounding 30 miles as a cordon, the fishermen were forced to move here.
Yuan Tan took advantage of the stone houses left by the fishermen and set up three warning points along the coast. Although he didn't think that there was really an enemy attacking from the sea, a qualified general must be prepared, and Yuan Tan was at least qualified.
According to Yuan Tan's regulations, these three guard points are equivalent to three shifts, each point is on duty for four hours, and every two hours someone must be sent to climb the cape to look.
At first, the execution was quite good, but after a month, except for the sound of the tide that disturbed people's dreams, and the bird droppings that fell from time to time to dry clothes, there was no movement, and it was inevitable that I would be tired.
Yuan Tan led the main force to cross the irrigation and besiege Duchang, and the one who stayed behind to guard the Guanting camp was his brother-in-law Wenda.
This Wen Da is the younger brother of Yuan Tan's wife, Wen's brother, who was just a small official in Ye County, after Yuan Tan served as the history of Qingzhou, he was promoted all the way, and in just two years, he was promoted from the account governor, fake Sima, and Sima of other departments, all the way up, until he became one of the eight Wu Meng engaged in the history of assassination. He was engaged in the internal work, and in wartime he was a lieutenant. That is, Captain Wu Mengdu.
Although Yuan Tan's brother-in-law has a fierce name, he is delicate, does not understand the military, and cannot go to the battlefield, so he can manage logistics. Therefore, after Yuan Tan set out on the expedition, he handed over the base camp and 2,000 soldiers and horses (mostly auxiliaries) to Wen Duwei to guard.
The left-behind general, ability is not important, reliability is the most important, this is Yuan Tan, and it is also the mainstream value of this era.
Well. If it's okay, it's good, but if something happens, if you're faithful but incapable, the consequences aren't ordinarily bad.
At this moment, Yuan Tan originally stipulated that there were guards at twelve hours, and at two hours, there were patrols and inspectors sent by the battalion from time to time. But since Yuan Tan set out on the expedition, no patrol inspector has ever appeared. People are all tired, and without supervision, these three shifts of vigilance and climbing will naturally become a mere formality.
On this day, the weather was fine. The sea breeze was cool, and in a warning point closest to the sea, a broken gong voice came out: "Damn thief, it has rained for three days in a row." The clothes are almost moldy, and it finally clears up today...... Xiaoliu, take out all the clothes of the group and go out to dry. ”
A young voice muttered unpleasantly, "Why me?" I washed everyone's clothes before. It's time for a change......"
Another joking voice sounded: "You are a new pawn, who are you not called?" Go quickly, don't let you stab you in the gut with a mallet. ”
A young man ran out in a panic with a large mass of clothing large enough to cover his face, apparently frightened by the man's words. But what was even more terrifying was that when the young Sergeant Yuan poked his face out from behind his clothes, there was a blade in front of him that flickered with cold light.
Yuan Bing in the room talked and laughed for a while, but he never saw the companion come back, and couldn't help laughing: "You must have been scared by Lao Wu." He said that he walked out of the broken wooden door, but saw that his clothes were spilled all over the ground, but the person was gone. The old soldier of Yuan Jun said angrily, "Bastard! Where have the people gone? Didn't you get caught by a bird! ”
Suddenly, the side was cold, the edge was piercing, and a cold voice entered the ear: "Have you ever seen such a big bird?" ”
A moment later, it was still Yuan Jun's warning point, but it had changed owners.
A light and sturdy steel armor, a bright silver helmet shining in the sun, a double halberd on his back, and a heroic and compelling - Tai Shici, who is heavily dressed in battle armor, has not diminished his heroic posture in the past.
On the left side of Tai Shici, he is wearing thick armor, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the imposing Liaodong warrior Guan Hai. At this moment, the second general is listening carefully to the results of Hu Cong's interrogation.
“…… The commander of the Yuan army camp will be Wu Mengdu Lieutenant Wenda, who is Yuan Xiansi's wife and brother, since he guarded the camp, feasting and drinking all day long, and celebrating his uncle in advance. Wenda is good at accounts and good at delivering food, but according to the old soldier of Yuan's army, this person has never commanded a battle, let alone is good at generals......"
Tai Shi Ci nodded: "This is consistent with the intelligence we spied on before, Yuan Xiansi stayed behind with this person, and he must have never taken the possible attack of my Liaodong Army from the sea seriously." ”
Guan Hai licked his thick lips and grinned: "Hehe, general, you can't rob me this time - I, the captain of Liaodong Wumeng, will personally meet this captain of Qingzhou Wumeng." ”
……
The weeds in the sky were cut five miles away from the Yuan army's camp, one was cleared, and the other was used to feed livestock, killing two birds with one stone. But for an army that is careless and careless from top to bottom, the five-mile buffer horizon is really not enough to respond in an emergency.
At this time, the Yuan army camp did not realize that the catastrophe was coming, and the soldiers patrolling the camp braved the scorching sun, sweated on their backs, and weakly carried the spear and halberd and came back listlessly. On the high watchtowers around the camp, the soldiers leaned on the pillars with their spears and took a nap with their heads bowed. The sentinels around the camp took advantage of their free movement to burrow into the grass one by one to avoid the scorching sun, and some even fell asleep in the grass.
If Yuan Tan was here, the battalion would never be so slack. For this, Wenda can't be blamed entirely. No matter how scummy Wenda's level is, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as Xiao Gui Cao follows and keeps the rules set by Yuan Tan as they are, the security of this battalion will not be like this.
Before Yuan Tan set out on the expedition, he also thought so, but he completely ignored one point: prestige.
When he Yuan Tan was here, it seemed that everyone was well-behaved and gave Wenda face, but it was just a fox and a fake tiger. When Yuan Tan left, the "tiger" was gone, and the "fox" was completely revealed. Many middle and low-level generals disobey the orders of this lieutenant and ignore them.
The barracks are the most capable and capable places in the world, and you have it. No, no, the soldiers only serve this. And this kind of thing is a backer, which looks easy in peacetime, but when it comes to wartime, it will reap the consequences.
Wenda is a young man in his early twenties, and he is not incompetent, at least in terms of managing grain, he still does a good job. For a man like him, the best position should be a quartermaster at the rank of military officer or marquis. It's just that. His identity destined him to become a high-ranking general.
Shengsheng promoted a warehouse manager to director, and Yuan Tan was destined to pay a terrible price for his nepotism.
Venda has no ability to govern the army, but he is still a smart man, and after his brother-in-law left, he became addicted to being the commander of the barracks. Later, I saw that those arrogant generals didn't buy his account, only in front of him, and ignored them behind his back. After a few times, he has come to his senses - yes, you don't dump me. I'm too lazy to be this thankless commander.
So Wenda raised the account every day, and after coping with it, he called the camp and set up a banquet. Summoned some generals who at least superficially respected him, and enjoyed singing and dancing while drinking, so happy.
It is said that such behavior is absolutely forbidden in the barracks. But there are some special people who can be specialized, and Wenda is not the only one. There is also a famous figure in history: Cao Hong. also likes to engage in this set, and it is even more excessive, so he asked the female musician to wear transparent clothes and dance on drums in the barracks, and was once reprimanded by Yang Fu for this.
The weather was fine today, and Venda was in a good mood - he didn't care if the soldiers would curse the "autumn tiger" or not.
Wenda ordered someone to slaughter a cow, boil soup with beef bones, moxibustion with beef, and then call more than ten Sima, fake Sima, military marquis, and grain officials. The generals gathered in the tent, eating a large piece of food on the one hand, watching the music on the other, and praised Wen Duwei for his arrogance and Yuan Envoy's might.
Many of them never imagined that this would be their last meal.
When the wine was hot, in a trance, Wenda seemed to see someone breaking into the tent, and several halberd-wielding guards were pushing and shoving it. If it was sober, Wen Da would probably endure it and order this person to retreat, but after drinking, his temper also came up, and he slammed the case and was furious: "I know you don't take me seriously, since that's the case, I won't look for your ballast, you take care of the soldiers, I drink and have fun, everyone goes to the side...... Belch...... It's good now, I actually kicked my nose in the face, I really don't dare to kill people! ”
Wenda was furious, and the female musicians were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not move, and all the generals also stared angrily, staring at the person who stirred up the atmosphere.
Someone who recognized it was surprised: "Huh! Isn't this from the official Li Fu? What are you doing? ”
Li Fu was in his forties, with black hair hanging down his chest, and a slender figure, facing the roar, he arched his hand proudly: "The northern headland mountain, the birds are frightened, and they can't stop, there must be something abnormal, please send a patrol to investigate." ”
Wenda disagreed: "Captain Bendu has arranged no less than ten sentry spies around the camp, all of them are experienced veterans, if there is really something abnormal, how can he not go to investigate?" You should be the only one who understands? ”
Li Fu also knew that what Wenda said was reasonable, and he didn't understand why none of the ten sentinels had returned to his life, could it be that he was really careful? But the strong uneasiness still made him make a move to break into the account.
Li Fu bowed his hand, and was about to say something more, but Wenda was already impatient, and picked up a batch of arrows from the case and threw them: "Give me a fork!" ”
"Captain, don't make a mistake for yourself......" Li Fu struggled, grabbed the corner of the tent with one hand, and refused to retreat.
Wenda was furious, and threw another batch of arrows: "Trespass on the capital account, the eyes are not superior, give me twenty military sticks!" ”
After a while, hearing the sound of popping outside the tent, Wenda and the generals laughed, and even more humane: "This sound is much more beautiful than the music......
Before the words fell, the sound of killing on all sides was loud, like thunder, and it was close to the outside of the camp in an instant. Then, the whole camp was in disarray.
Bang Bang Bang! The cups in the tent fell to the ground, and the turbid wine was spilled everywhere.
Just like the cups that fell, they asked for the cups.

PS: Yuan Tan's reuse of his brother-in-law has been in the annals of history, and "Kyushu Spring and Autumn" contains: "(Tan) made the women and brothers lead the troops, and ordered the grass to steal". (To be continued......)
