Chapter 21: The Tall and Handsome Drum Goes to Zizhou (1)

Finally, it's my turn to recommend the ninth museum, and I would like to thank the editor for the shadow, and thank you for the book friends. Tonight is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, hurry up and update, let everyone watch, and go to see our Olympics at night! )

Gao Dashuai naturally refers to Gao Chongwen, when this newspaper was founded, the Dongchuan War Report reached Chang'an, and Gao Chongwen advanced quickly, defeated Xing Zhu, and recovered Zizhou in one fell swoop.

Like Yan Qin's encounter at Jianmen Pass, Gao Chongwen's resistance in Zizhou was not as fierce as expected. During the Wei Gao era, the Xichuan Army, which was in the southwest, seemed to have quickly lost its combat effectiveness with Wei Gao's departure.

After receiving the news of the fall of Zizhou, Gao Chongwen immediately marched to Zizhou with Li Yuanyi and led 8,000 soldiers and horses day and night, and after defeating the sniper of several Sichuan troops along the way, Gao Chongwen's army finally rushed to the city of Zizhou from Langzhong ten days later.

Xing Jun is not an incompetent person, as soon as he saw Gao Chongwen swaggering so much in the city, there was no one in his eyes, many self-respecting generals were furious, and they asked to go down to the city to fight, to kill Gao Chongwen by surprise, clean, but since Gao Chongwen came out of the division in Langzhong, Xing Zhu has one more task - to contain the defeated soldiers, and he has a preliminary feeling of the combat effectiveness of the Gao Department, and he is full of confidence when he sees Gao Chongwen camping, and he has not even released the rangers, and he is even more vigilant in his heart, and he always feels that the opponent is not generally strong, Therefore, although his subordinates are thousands more than Gao Chongwen, he is still strictly forbidden to fight. After all, he only needs to hold Zizhou, Xing Jun thought, although the banner of the word "high" flying high under the city looks so dazzling.

"Xing Jun must think so." In the big tent under the big banner of the word "Gao" under the city, Gao Chongwen twisted his beard and said with a smile,

The official document sent by the Ministry of War said that Xing Jun admired Zhuge Liang the most in Shudi, and imitated Zhuge Liang in the use of soldiers, and was cautious everywhere, but Prime Minister Zhuge did not learn the slightest trick. Seeing that our army was unusually forced to go down to the city, he had to weigh it for three or two days before he dared to leave the city, and by that time, the food and grass of our army had already arrived. The messenger of Lord Jing said that the road had been washed away by heavy rains, and that it was being repaired, and that the grain and grass would arrive in two days. ”

"Marshal, if this is the case, it is naturally good, but is the official document of this military department reliable? The defenders outnumbered our army by thousands, and our army had only a day's food left. ”

A general sitting at the head of Gao Xia's apartment asked, this person is another great general in Gao Chongwen's army, Li Dingjin.

"Dingjin rest assured, our army has captured many prisoners along the way, and the old man has already asked them for their confessions, and a few references are indeed consistent with what the Ministry of War said in the text. Besides, it's not the first time that the soldiers of my Changwu Army have attacked more with less, if it weren't for the lack of food and grass, the old man would have wished that he would go to war immediately. ”

Gao Chongwen said with a smile, then retracted his smile and said:

"Generals, our army is fighting and advancing all the way, the soldiers must be tired, pass my general's order, the whole army will rest for three days, have a full meal tonight, two meals tomorrow, the old man expects Xing Jun to fight in three days, and this is the time when our army breaks Zizhou."

"Yes!"

There was a click sound of iron armor, and more than a dozen generals got up and saluted, and then exited the tent one after another.

The day passed without incident, because it was too close to the city, Gao Chongwen didn't even send scouts, but Li Yuanyi was cautious and released dozens of scouts, and specially dispersed five or six groups in front of Gao Chongwen's camp. When Gao Chongwen heard about it, he laughed and went back to sleep.

At dawn on the second day, Gao Chongwen was old and had little sleep, so he got up early, and practiced his sword skills in front of the tent as usual. He used a long knife, in the hazy morning light, the long knife in his hand, Gao Chongwen stood up like a strong pine, the breeze blew his clothes, beard, like a piece of rotten wood standing on the ground, a cold light flashed, Gao Chongwen played a knife flower, and then the whole person moved. His knives began to play very slowly, slowly faster and faster, faster and faster, until he saw only a white shadow moving.

Suddenly, Gao Chongwen put away his knife, put on a posture, and slowly exhaled a breath, at this time the sky had gradually brightened, and the soldiers cheered loudly as usual. As soon as Gao Chongwen put the knife in the hands of his own soldiers, took the square scarf and wiped his face, he heard a noise outside the camp gate, Gao Chongwen was stunned, and then saw the flag officer hurriedly running and said:

"Marshal, Lord Jing personally supervised the transportation of grain and grass to the outside of the camp gate!"

"Oh! Lord Jing is here in person? ”

"Exactly. There were more than 100 carts of grain, as well as many pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. Lord Jing had been on the road all night and was waiting outside the camp gate. ”

"Come on, change the old man's clothes, and order the generals of all armies to go to the camp gate with the old man to greet Lord Jing!"

"Obey!"

Outside the camp gate, Jing Kuan was riding on a horse, his figure was obviously sleepy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he yawned from time to time, but he forced himself to scan the surroundings. Wait for the flag officer to inform them where to put the grain and grass in the camp.

With a "squeak", the gate was pushed open by several soldiers, and the soldiers on the watchtower shouted:

"Handsome!"

Jing Kuan didn't expect Gao Chongwen to come to greet him in person, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, thinking that there would be a commotion in the camp, but there was no sound at all, only the "do-do" sound of combat boots, and then a hearty voice came out:

"Oops, Dr. Jing has worked hard!"

The doctor is Jing Kuan's old position before he did the Shannan camp food envoy, seeing Gao Chongwen come out, Jing Kuan was just about to do it, he felt that his arm was grabbed, and then a strong force came up, so that he had to stand upright. Jing Kuan had no choice but to say:

"The lower officials are late to transport grain, please punish the tall marshal!"

"What did Doctor Jing say, he came so early in the morning, a day and a half earlier than Gao expected, why was he late? If it weren't for the fact that alcohol was not allowed in the army, Gao would have gotten drunk with Dr. Jing and thanked Dr. Jing. ”

"The handsome man has won the award, and it is too late for the lower officials to be ashamed, how dare they take a word of thanks?"

"Hey, Doctor Jing, what's the matter with your grain truck?"

"This, and listen to the official slowly."

It turned out that Gao Chongwen's march was extremely fast, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, and some bridges were destroyed by the defeated thieves, so Jing Kuan's grain transport team was not fast, seeing that Gao Chongwen's army was going to run out of food, Jing Dafu ran all the way from the camp to the front line, facing the mountains, Jing Dafu made a bold decision, with the guards, the people and a large amount of cash, lightly armed, to Zizhou City to buy grain. So there were all kinds of strange grain trucks that Gao Chongwen saw.

Looking at these grain trucks, Gao Chongwen couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Doctor Jing is really a smart person, with these grain trucks, our battle will be easy to fight."
