Chapter 738: Lu Xun's Blood and Tears
"Homan? Three thousand cavalry? ”
Wen Ping was a little puzzled, but shook his head: "No, I haven't seen it from beginning to end, when did they set off from Duyang?" ”
"Late at night! After I learned about Cao's army, I sent him to reinforce Meng Huo! Zhou Zhi already had some speculations in his heart, but he still refused to give up the last ray of hope.
"That should be more auspicious!" Wen Ping whispered helplessly: "In the middle of the night, the deployment of the Cao army has been completed, and there is no possibility for the three thousand cavalry to rush out!" ”
"Alas!"
With a sigh, Wang Xu felt very uncomfortable.
He Man is familiar to him, he personally led the troops into Yingchuan back then, and it was He Man who surrendered there, and now he is also serving in the Guards Corps, one of the partial generals, and he is a true man with a story and ability! He and Liao Hua, He Yi, plus Guan Hai, Yang Feng, and Zhang Jing, who died in the early years, even have a nickname in the army, and are called the Six Heroes of the Yellow Turban.
Because they are all from the Yellow Turban generals, plus they are all middle-level or high-level generals in the Chu Army, they got their names.
The three of them then fell silent, and soon Zhang Jing also arrived, hearing the bad news, he was also silent!
It's a pity that there is no time to be sad!
The sky is gradually brightening, the morning sun is rising from the east, the morning glow is all over the sky, and the brilliance is dazzling!
If you stand high at the head of the city, you can still see that on the distant horizon, the first neat and uniform Cao army gradually appeared in the field of vision, and the real battle to the death has just begun......
As the saying goes: The world is changeable, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky!
Nine points are calculated, but there is always a point of luck, if it is said that there are ten steps to the sky. Then this bit of luck is the final step. One step away. Naught!
This night went down in history, but unfortunately the battlefield itself did not pay much attention, and more of the stories that have been handed down have become legends in personal biographies.
On the contrary, at the same time, the battle in Jiaozhou, southern Xinjiang, was famous for later generations and became a classic battle recognized by later generations.
"Hahaha!! Lv Meng. If you don't surrender yet, when? ”
A young general wearing a high crown stood in front of the army, looking at the Jiangdong soldiers and horses besieged on the lonely mountain from afar, full of spirit, showing the demeanor of young and ambitious!
This man has a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, a high crown on his head, a stomach on his body, a sword at his waist, and a body as tall as a green pine sitting on a war horse, although the costume is a little strange. But that kind of demeanor is indescribable, handsome and heroic. There is a sense of elegance in the uprightness, it is Lu Xun!
Lu Mengzhen guarded Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, but fell into such a field, not because of his poor ability, nor because of his carelessness, but because Lu Xun exchanged for nearly two months of suffering.
When Wang Xu left Jiaozhou, he let Xu Sheng, Yan Liang and Dian Wei stay in Yulin County, because they were worried that Jiaozhou would be unstable, while Lu Xun participated in the military here.
It's a pity that Lu Xun doesn't think so, he is not willing to conserve the results, and the reason why he is willing to travel through mountains and rivers to defect to Wang Xu is that he is eager to make meritorious contributions and show what he has learned in his chest.
Therefore, not long after Wang Xu left, that is, more than two months ago, he thought of a plan!
Even after he came up with this plan, he hesitated for several days!
Because it is too risky and too scary, there are so many difficulties that need to be faced, and any small problem may lead to the loss of all the previous achievements, and in this regard, he has a clear understanding.
Until he finally made up his mind, he just found the main general Xu Sheng alone and told him his plans one by one.
Xu Sheng was taken aback at that time, and he was so shocked that he suddenly got up on the spot: "This plan is too dangerous, the matter is serious, don't act hastily!" ”
But Lu Xun did not give up, grinding hard, constantly explaining the feasibility and the huge benefits that can be obtained after success, and also telling all the problems and solutions that may be encountered one by one. In the words of later generations, that is he is brainwashing Xu Sheng!
After several days of hard work, Lu Xun finally washed Xu Sheng's head with his super eloquence, and reluctantly agreed to let him try, but also said that he would inform Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in Hepu, after all, Wang Xu had issued an order before leaving, so that Zhuge Liang would be in charge of the overall situation of Jiaozhou.
But Lu Xun knew in his heart that Zhuge Liang could not agree with his idea, because Zhuge Liang had never done things that he was not sure of, not to mention that this matter was no different from gambling.
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that your first reaction at this moment is, you Xu Sheng can't do it, I am dedicated to the main, I think of a good way but I am not taken seriously, I don't meet talents, and I am dissatisfied! But he was completely the opposite, and finally chose to stand in front of Xu Shengmen, standing for three days and three nights!
Because he knew that Xu Sheng was not indifferent to the Chu State, but his opinions and ideas were different, and there was no right or wrong at all!
Xu Sheng was moved, understood his determination and will more, and finally nodded in agreement.
After that, Lu Xun took 10,000 elite foot soldiers, divided into several nights, quietly entered the mountains, and embarked on a journey over the mountains and mountains!
The mountain road is rugged and difficult, and even as it goes deeper, there is no road at all, so how to replenish it has become the biggest problem.
So, he adopted a simple, stupid but effective approach.
Whenever he came to a particularly dangerous place, he left two hundred soldiers behind and set up a small sentry post on the spot.
The only task of the soldiers at these posts in the future is to transport supplies to the previous post day and night, even if they are on their backs.
Xu Sheng only needed to regularly and quantitatively deliver the materials to the first outpost secretly.
In this way, a relay-like transport line was formed, one by one, one by one, perhaps each time the amount of transport was very small, but it was better day and night until it was transmitted to the front of the army, ensuring the supply of the soldiers in advance.
The soldiers at the front were also very bitter, they climbed over the mountains and mountains, not to mention, they opened up small roads when there was no road, and built bridges when they encountered water, just like explorers, difficult to move forward on the road ahead.
Before the battle began, there were already large casualties!
The soldiers either slipped and fell to their deaths in the roadless mountains, or had accidents in the process of opening up the road, or were attacked by fierce beasts and poisonous insects when they were not paying attention, or encountered rockfalls and landslides! In short, there are too many difficulties encountered, and they are destroying their will and lives all the time!
Many times, even Lu Xun himself wondered if he was really wrong!
However, soon he chose to persist in silence, he shed tears, and moved forward firmly with his mud-stained body, his tearful face always kept smiling, crying and laughing in the wind and rain, singing loudly and encouraging!
Whenever in the dead of night, when everyone was tired, sobbing silently, and missing his family, he always stayed up with the same tired body, comforting and encouraging loudly.
"Brothers, win this battle, Jiaozhou will be done once and for all, at least there will be no war for many years, every qiē is worth it, I firmly believe that as long as we go over, the wise King of Chu will definitely know everyone's dedication, and will definitely give us an explanation, merit and reward, we are all blessed and shared!"
"Even if one of us falls down on the road ahead, but we are dead, and our family also has the pension of the king of Chu, what are we afraid of! In the troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and the brothers are not only fighting for the king of Chu, not only for our stable Chu country, but also for ourselves! Rotten life, why be afraid, I am with you! ”
The firm voice and the waving fist became the faith of the soldiers at this moment!
Of course, he didn't just say it, he did it firmly!
In the wind and rain, Lu Xun withstood the cold ice and rain, covered himself with mud, stepped on the rugged road, personally dragged the logs, personally cut down the trees, and personally mixed with the soldiers, constantly opening up the road ahead.
Every night, blowing his cold hands, he walked past the camp from time to time, patrolling over and over again.
Occasionally, when he saw the sleeping faces of the soldiers, he showed a faint smile, and occasionally saw the slippery quilt, and he personally stepped forward to cover the soldiers!
Those hands, which were originally holding the scroll, were already full of blood blisters!
That handsome and elegant face has long been covered by mud and tears!
The magnetic voice is also roaring, and it has become hoarse!
Only those eyes, still bright!
It's just that the bloodshot in the eyes is clearly visible!
But at this moment, in the hearts of the soldiers, he is the most handsome and stylish, exuding an irresistible charm!
Perhaps in more than two months, it was his charm that united the whole army and created a great historical deed!
Xu Sheng had personally come to see along the path, and he had walked very easily and happily on the road he had opened up!
But as he walked past the sentry posts, his steps became heavier and heavier.
When he first saw the soldiers at the sentry post, there was no sign of laziness at all, and he even rushed to deliver supplies, and he was ashamed to fall to the ground from exhaustion! It made him surprised, shocked, very shocked!
He felt that the person who led the soldiers was very capable, so he found him and complimented: "You can bring out such a soldier, you are a talent!" ”
Unexpectedly, after the man saluted respectfully, his eyes were filled with tears and said, "General Xu, the brothers are working hard, not because I am capable, but because of the road under our feet!" Because it was built with the blood and tears of the brothers, and it was pushed out by the brothers with their bodies, we only hate that we can't continue to walk on the front line with General Lu. ”
"But even so, we must not guarantee that the transportation will be poor, and we must always tell the brothers in front of us that we are here, fighting, we are not cowards, we are together!"
The trembling voice was like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Sheng's heart!
After that, Xu Sheng quickened his pace, traveled lightly, and walked along the smooth path, passing through every sentry post, and saw almost the same scene.
Seeing that some soldiers carrying food on their backs were so tired that they fell halfway, but they still trembled and got up, and walked forward slowly and firmly step by step, his heart trembled!
Finally, he came to the forefront, he saw Lu Xun, who was almost unrecognizable, and saw his tearful smile!
At this moment, the thousand words he had thought of turned into one sentence!
"Five days later, I will send troops to cooperate with you!" (To be continued......)
