Chapter 162: The North Sea Crisis
The jade seal of the country is a bad thing.
The ambitious Sun Jian got it, died in another country, and the foundation he had worked hard for was also destroyed, so that Sun Ce had to take his old department to take refuge in Yuan Shu.
Now that Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce to exchange the jade seal for a free body, how could he not make Sun Ce and the others sad.
That's what they sacrificed so much blood and price to get back! But if you don't want to, you have to give it away for nothing, I knew that now, I shouldn't have hidden it and brought it back to Jiangdong, perhaps, Sun Jian wouldn't die, and they wouldn't send people under the fence like now.
"Yuan Shu sent people to me several times to inquire about the whereabouts of the jade seal, but I was vague, I don't want to, I'm going to give it to him this time!" Sun Ce sighed.
"We have sacrificed so much, but it is a waste of work, and we are busy for the villain Yuan Shu, if the old lord knows about it, he will definitely be angry with us."
Cheng Pu said helplessly.
Zhou Yu said: "The jade seal of the country was given to Yuan Shu in exchange for a free body, a soldier and a horse, and money and food, it is worth it, one day, we will get it back!" This is just a temporary storage here in Yuan Shu! ”
"Yes, what is temporarily stored for Yuan Shu, one day, I will get it back, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, as well as Cao Cao and Lu Bu, one day, I will trample you under my feet!" Sun Ce said in a deep voice.
"Without further ado, while Ji Ling and Cao Cao haven't made a big fight, we will return to Shouchun tomorrow in the name of escorting grain and grass, and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce on the shoulder.
"Hmm!" Sun Ce nodded heavily
North Sea.
The arrival of Tai Shici greatly encouraged the tens of thousands of soldiers in Beihai City, who were trapped in the city by 5,000 Cao soldiers. Facing the Cao army, which was only half of his own strength. but they suppressed him. Everyone's heart is very aggrieved.
On the night when Tai Shi Ci entered the city, Kong Rong ordered people to set up a banquet, entertained the general, and told Tai Shi Ci about the situation in Beihai.
In the early morning of the next day, Tai Shici ordered 3,000 men and horses to fight out of the city, and Cao Ren was overjoyed. He had long wanted to have a head-on battle with Kong Rong's soldiers, so he hurriedly ordered someone to blow the horn and take 5,000 men and horses to fight against Tai Shici.
Kong Rong stood in the city tower, overlooking the decisive battle between Tai Shi Ci and Cao Ren, holding the flag in his hand, and when Tai Shi Ci and Cao Ren fought, he opened the city gates on three sides, sent three people and horses, outflanked Cao Ren from both wings, and used the tactics of the sea of people to snow the shame of many days.
But the premise is whether Tai Shici, a general, can play the role of the main general. Lead the soldiers to block Cao Ren's edge.
"Knock ——!"
"Kill ——!"
"Knock ——!"
"Kill ——!"
The sound of drums and shouts of killing came and went, and the sound shook the sky. The murderous aura filled the entire heaven and earth, Cao Bing endured for many days, and finally could fight with Kong Rongjun, all of them were full of strength, and Kong Rongjun was trapped by Cao Bing, who was only half of his own number, for many days, and they were all angry, and they also wanted to compete with Cao Bing.
Cao Ren's advantage is that he is a soldier and his morale is flourishing.
Tai Shici's advantage is that there are many soldiers, and the soldiers may be a little afraid, but also a little angry.
In a battle, the number of troops, whether the soldiers are elite or not, is very critical, and morale is also very important, but an army must have a backbone, that is, the heart of the army, as long as he does not fall and is not defeated, then as long as this army is not too bad, there is still some hope.
Kong Rong is a Confucian scholar, he likes to drink and have fun on weekdays, talk about the world's major affairs, and the diners around him are all scribes who are powerless, and there is no general who can handle it at all.
Therefore, he was beaten by Cao Ren's 5,000 people, and he was so frightened that he did not fight.
However, with Tai Shici, a tiger general, Kong Rong saw some hope.
As soon as the two sides clashed, flesh and blood splattered, and the screams were terrible.
Every Cao soldier is like a sharp knife, and the Kong Rongjun who killed them fell one after another, and they were not Cao Bing's opponents at all.
Except for Tai Shici, who showed his might, and the Cao soldiers who were killed were scattered and defeated, there was no victory.
Cao Ren held a big knife, and when he saw that Tai Shi Ci was invincible, he roared angrily twice, grabbed the horse's back, and rushed over to compete with Tai Shi Ci.
"How daring!" Tai Shi Ci roared angrily and rushed straight at Cao Ren.
The two of them seemed to fight, and the soldiers around avoided one after another, not daring to approach, for fear of affecting themselves.
Kong Rong saw Taishi Cihu Yong, and praised him again and again in his heart, but when he saw that the three thousand soldiers were killed by Cao Bing, he angrily scolded these people for being useless.
"I ate so much food for nothing!" Kong Rong looked up to the sky and sighed, and hurriedly raised three flags.
The gates of the city on three sides were immediately opened, and the soldiers and horses of the three roads rushed out to kill them, from the flanks on both sides, and from the back roads.
Tai Shici's soldiers and horses were killed by Cao Bing, and they were all going to flee back to the city, but Kong Rong strictly ordered them to fight to the death and did not allow them to withdraw.
Suddenly, the morale of the soldiers was shocked, and they turned around and killed back, entangled with Cao Bing.
The two flanks of Cao Bing were attacked, and they immediately divided their troops to fight, and the rear road was blocked by the enemy.
All of a sudden, the battlefield was in chaos, attacking each other, fighting each other, fighting inextricably, flesh and blood splashed like rain, and dead bodies were everywhere.
From early morning to noon, both sides were sleepy and tired, and Tai Shici kept pressing Cao Ren to fight, which made Cao Ren extremely depressed.
"Mingjin retreats!" Kong Rong saw that he could barely block the edge of Cao Bing's attack with his numbers and tactics, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and saw that his soldiers were poor, and if he continued to fight, there would be no good results, and it was the best policy to collect troops and recuperate.
Cao Ren didn't seem to fight anymore, he hugged his fist at Tai Shici, dropped a cruel word, and hurriedly withdrew with his subordinates.
Tai Shici glanced at Cao Ren fiercely and led the army to retreat.
"Ziyi is really a hero, his martial arts are outstanding, and the Cao Ren who beat him is looking for teeth all over the place!" Kong Rong greeted Tai Shi Ci and praised.
Tai Shici's face was slightly red, and he said: "The prime minister has been promoted, my ability is really nothing, if you want to talk about martial arts." The number one in the world is Lu Bu. If only he were. I'm afraid Cao Ren will be killed in less than ten rounds. ”
Kong Rong's face turned cold, "What are you doing with that Lu Bu, such a villain who forgets his righteousness for profit is spurned by the people of the world, but we are not ashamed." ”
Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Kong Rong said again: "I have ordered someone to prepare a wine banquet, Ziyi will enjoy it with me." ”
Tai Shi Ci glanced at the soldiers who were covered in blood and said, "I don't know if the brothers have wine and meat to eat." In today's battle, without them, I alone would not be able to stop Cao Ren's troops. ”
"I've ordered someone to prepare." Kong Rong said with a smile.
When the soldiers heard Tai Shici's words, they all cast their eyes of gratitude to Tai Shici.
That night, Cao Ren camped.
"Withdrawal? As long as I send me another elite army, I can occupy the North Sea! Cao Ren's angry letter slapped on the case, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire.
"General, report from the front, Yuan Tan led the army to cross the Yellow River and conquer Gaotang. There is a great tendency to sweep the North Sea, and other places such as Dongjun. There is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, numbering about 30,000 people. ”
The scout clenched his fists and said.
"Yuan Tan, Yellow Turban Yuxi, Ha Luha, these people will be lively when they meet together, so let's eat this hot potato in Beihai in a few days!"
Cao Ren walked slowly in the camp tent, and waved his big hand, "Order the whole army, we will withdraw tonight, don't let Kong Rong and them find out!" ”
"No!" The generals in the tent replied.
Coming like the wind, going like the wind, Cao Ren led the army to quietly leave Beihai in the dark night.
Early the next morning, Kong Rong's scouts were overjoyed when they found out that Cao Ren was gone, and hurriedly ran to report to Kong Rong.
Kong Rong drank a lot of wine last night, was lying in his seat, asleep, heard the scout coming, was very impatient, rubbed his eyes, yawned, "Is it Cao Ren Xiao'er who led the army to challenge again?" ”
"No, Cao Ren is gone! Last night, they withdrew with their army! The scout said in surprise, thinking that he would be rewarded this time.
"Gone? Hahaha! Kong Rong was taken aback, and then danced with joy.
"God bless me, Tai Shi Ci is really a blessed general, only two days after coming, he forced Cao Ren back, hahaha!" Kong Rong said happily.
The good news soon spread throughout the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers cheered in unison, as did the people.
"Ziyi, how do you think I should reward you?" Kong Rong grabbed Tai Shici's hand and asked in surprise.
Tai Shi Ci hugged his fists and said: "I am here to repay the kindness of the Prime Minister, how can I ask for a reward, since the strong enemy has retreated, I still ask for resignation and leave!" ”
"Leave? Ziyi, where are you going? Although my Beihai is small, there are more than 10,000 soldiers, if you can stay, you are the general of the unified army! There's room for you to show your strengths! ”
Kong Rong finally caught a capable person, how could he watch him fly away from his eyes.
Tai Shi Ci said embarrassedly: "Yangzhou Assassin Liu Miao is my old friend, before I came, he repeatedly sent people to urge me to go, I have agreed, the eldest husband is standing in the world, how can he not believe in his words, and hope that the minister of the country will let me go!" ”
"Yangzhou Thorn Shi Liu Xuan?" Kong Rong sighed, Tai Shi Ci pressed him with a letter, he was really not easy to deal with, but if Tai Shi Ci was allowed to leave like this, he was really unwilling.
"That's it, Ziyi, you stay for another day, and let me repay your kindness, okay?" Kong Rong pleaded.
"Huh?" Tai Shi Ci hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help Kong Rong's shengyi fist, so he had to nod and agree.
Kong Rong was pleasantly surprised, and pulled Tai Shici to drink a few more jars of wine.
"Prime Minister, it's not good! Big things are wrong! A pro-soldier rushed in shouting.
"What's wrong? Isn't it Cao Ren who went and came back and killed back! Kong Rong was shocked.
The pro-army said breathlessly: "There is a Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, and Gao Tang has been occupied by Yuan Tan!" ”
"What!" When Kong Rong heard the news, he only felt that his mind was blank, and his body was about to collapse.
"Prime Minister!" Tai Shici hurriedly hugged Kong Rong, and all the pro-soldiers stepped forward together.
Beihai was surrounded, and it was difficult for Kong Rong's scouts to escape from the city to communicate with various places, and it was difficult for various places to communicate with Beihai. (To be continued......)
