Chapter 19: Stooping to the Barbarians

Liuzan reprimanded Shixun: "What a barbarian, and dare to despise China!" Shi Xun just smiled faintly and waved his hand lightly: "Wu An dares to despise China, and those who despise it will be despised by it." Our country has a thousand warships and 100,000 soldiers, and if we only take one county, it will be easy. Today, I will stop leading the front army, that is, breaking the two counties, and those who break and do not leave, in order to wait for the help of the rear division, and want to sacrifice the evil Jia, but the soldiers can be stopped. Who are you? But call the Taishou to come and speak. ”

When Liuzan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. "1,000 warships, 100,000 soldiers", of course, is a casual boast, even such a big China can't come up with so many warships and sailors - he looks at the other party, there are only a dozen ships, even if the ships are all stuffed with sailors, five hundred in one boat, a total of five or six thousand, the sky. However, "for the help of the rear division" is not necessarily a lie - that is, this is just the front army, and there is a follow-up later? If there are another five or six thousand people, I will be able to calm down Jijun!

Although Fang Cai won a small victory, he saw that there were four or five hundred more soldiers who had to follow this "general" in Confucian shirts to get off the ship, and with only about 200 people under his own command, there was no chance of victory. Liuzan is not a foolish person who does not know how to advance and retreat, so he gradually retreated, and when he heard that Xun said, "You can call Taishou to come and speak", he immediately sneered: "The prince of the palace must not move lightly (in fact, he is not in Huiji), why don't you follow me to Shanyin to meet?" "Do you dare to follow me to see Taishou?

Of course, Shixun didn't dare, so he smiled and said: "I can arrive at the meeting the day after I come to the lord of the country, whether to meet the county guard, or bother the county guard to come to pay respects, and wait for the lord of the country to decide." Then he waved his hand, and led the men back into the barracks.

He's gone. Liuzan is a little blind. He had already seen that the troops on the opposite side were all tigers and wolves, and they were not comparable to ordinary bandits in the mountains and seas. Not to mention the empty vernacular, there are no less than a thousand people who disembark from the ship in front and behind, and I am afraid that they will have to pour all the soldiers and horses in the county to fight in order to barely have a few chances of victory. So do you hurry back and move the rescuers? But it's not right. One is afraid that as soon as he leaves, these barbarian thieves will harass the market towns and cities next to him, and the other is afraid...... How can I report to Chun Yu Jun Cheng when I go back?

Sue sù He drove more than a dozen ships and thousands of soldiers and horses from the East China Sea, and he may be followed by "a thousand warships" led by the lord of the Aolai country. 100,000 soldiers"? This thing is so unbelievable that even seeing it in person and hearing it with my own ears feels weird, how can Chun Yushi believe it? If you think you are afraid of the enemy and flee. If you make up some nonsense to fool him, won't all the names of your heroes and heroes be wasted for half of your life?

After thinking about it, I had to temporarily withdraw from more than a mile and set up camp. Watching the movement of the port from afar. At the same time, he sent people to run back to San'in. The whereabouts of Chun Yu reported - the other party is such and such a situation, is so and so to say to me, I am not easy to relay, but without any judgment, whether it is war or peace, whether to ask Wu Hou for reinforcements, it is up to the county to decide on its own.

Liuzan's move naturally can't escape the eyes of Xun. It's Xun Xin who said it's best if you don't go. This is my little investigation of you, and if you listen to me, you will leave. Either he is cowardly, or he is careless-minded - now he is retreating and not leaving, which shows that this person has a lot to create.

He told Liuzan that his reinforcements would arrive the day after tomorrow, but this was a lie. In fact, when he first plundered the port of Chengxian County, he had already ordered Guo Huai to lead the rest of the army to come to the rendezvous, count the time, and arrive tomorrow. So he sent a few small boats in advance to stop Guo Boji on the way, saying that you should not go to the port first, but choose a place to land from the east and west sides of Cheng County in two ways......

In a sense, the landing of abandoned ships at that time was much simpler than in later generations, first, there was no heavy equipment to carry, and second, the sea ships were small, even if they were not ports, they could be close to the shore, that is, they could rush to the beach with small boats. Of course, landing "warfare" is another concept, but how can there be a good county soldier guarding along the coast of Chengxian County now? Not to mention the beachhead defensive position. The direction and hydrological conditions of the nearby coast were cleared by sending people to investigate the situation in the past few days, and Guo Huai could confidently and boldly lead the army to land.

Besides, Liuzan, Jiangnan has more mules and fewer horses, and he led more than 200 soldiers this time, all on foot. In fact, the most convenient way to send the letter back to San'in was by sea, but unfortunately the port was occupied by the enemy, and it was difficult to find suitable ships nearby. The messenger had no choice but to go to Shangyu with the Sutra and Yuyao (on the way, a mule may be asked to travel on the way), and then from Shangyu to Jinghu Lake, and to reach Shanyin by boat—it took four and a half days to come and go, to say the least.

Therefore, he could only wait outside the port of Chengxian County, and no matter day or night, he sent people to sneak close to the port to detect the movements of the enemy army. Shi Xun also sent troops out and spread the sentry net, and the two sides occasionally clashed, and there were one or two corpses, but basically the soldiers could retreat - the number was too small to dare to confront the Youzhou army.

Therefore, Liuzan could only detect that the enemy's big ships had not moved, the brigade had not been sent, and the reinforcements had not arrived, and as for the more detailed actions, they were all blackened.

He had been tested in battle—although the attack and defense were only some Yellow Turban remnants and mountain bandits—and he instinctively felt that the shape was getting worse and worse, but unfortunately, he did not dare to retreat. Liuzan only knew his remorse at this time, and I knew that the enemy was so elite and huge, and the origin was strange, so I was not in a hurry to ask for an order to reconnoitre.

On the evening of that day, he had just sent someone to escort some wine and meat from Cheng County, but he drank two glasses of wine, and was leaning in the camp tent in a daze. The enemy was several times larger than him, and he did not make any moves on the surface, but he might take advantage of the night to come and rob the camp, and if he was unprepared, none of the two hundred men could escape. However, I was nervous during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I couldn't help but feel sleepy. He was thinking about whether it would be the end of the situation if it went on like this, or I would go back to Cheng County first? There was a house to live in and a city wall to follow, and I began to take a nap when I thought about it......

Suddenly, the tent was opened, and some soldiers came in in a panic to report: "The thieves are in a big move, as if they are coming to rob the camp!" Liuzan was in a cold sweat, and immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly picked up the knife and went out of the account. He was about to call his troops to line up and defend it, when suddenly there were fires in all directions, and there were no less than two or three thousand of them, and they had already surrounded their own camps.

In the light of the fire, a large number of enemy soldiers armed with bows and crossbows were facing themselves - no less than five hundred, and one of them was still rich after two arrows! Liuzan's surprise is not trivial, and he said that he reconnoitred during the day, and did not mention that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived? Where did all those soldiers come from? Did you just arrive in Hong Kong? However, if you don't light a fire, how can so many soldiers go ashore in the dark? If you light a fire, you are more than a mile away, how can you not see the reason?

He didn't expect that it was Xun Guo Huai who landed on both sides of Cheng County, agreed on the time, and sneaked to the vicinity of the Huiji barracks with the Chinese army, surrounded it, and then gave an order, and at the same time lit the torches and raised the bow and crossbow, which caused heavy psychological pressure on the enemy.

Under such heavy pressure, the soldiers of Huiji County were frightened and panicked, and Liuzan couldn't even get in line after shouting several times. Everyone thinks, this arrow is about to be shot, and the big guys are going to turn into sieves, even if they are lined up, what's the use? On the spot, the cowardly threw his weapon, fell to his knees, and begged for mercy at a loud voice.

Under the command of Shi Xun, the Youzhou soldiers shouted in unison: "Abandon weapons, kneel on the ground, and silence, but you will not die!" Hearing this, the wailing of the soldiers immediately subsided, but more people gave up resistance, knelt down in the mud, and waited for the judgment of fate.

At this point, Liuzan couldn't help but sigh, and lifted the knife, intending to cut his throat and kill himself. But at this time, I heard the other side shouting: "Liuzan abandons the weapon to surrender!" If anyone dares to resist or self-discipline, no one will be left behind, and all of them will be shot! ”

Before the words fell, a soldier rushed up and grabbed Liuzan's hand: "Sir, you can't die!" "If you're going to die, none of us will survive! Liuzan is also confused, how does the other party know his name? Second, if you want to destroy us, just shoot arrows directly, why do you have to surrender yourself?

Glancing at his subordinates, all of them were fellow villagers, and there were many of their own injured relatives, all of whom stared at themselves with big eyes, their eyes full of panic and fear. Although they are all elites in the county, after all, they are local soldiers who rarely go to the battlefield, and none of them have a firm expression and are willing to die with them. And even if someone is willing to accompany him to die, can he bear to let them be buried?

In desperation, Liu Zhengming had to smile slightly bitterly, let go and threw down the long knife, then raised his hands high, came out of the crowd, and shouted in his mouth: "Stay here, don't hurt me!" ”

As soon as he walked out, Jing Huanxiao rushed over with the two subordinates, held it down, tore off his armor, and then tied it firmly with a rope and escorted it to Shixun. Immediately, Lao Xun lifted his foot and kicked the crook of Liuzan's leg fiercely, and Liuziming reluctantly knelt down.

Shi Xun smiled and asked him, "You are in a poor place now, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Liuzan stalked his neck: "If you are defeated, you can only die." but beg for mercy from my people. ”

Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "If I use your people as a threat and order you to surrender, it is not sincere to surrender." Now if you don't care about it, can you surrender to me? If you look at the majesty of my warship and the courage of my soldiers and horses, if you become a general, how different will it be compared to curling up? Good birds choose trees to perch, strong men choose the lord and masters, why die and abandon this great opportunity? ”

After persuading for a long time, Liuzan was just not allowed. Shi Xun frowned slightly, and asked him impatiently, "Why don't you descend?" How can you be ashamed that you have great grace? If what you say is reasonable, then you will be allowed to die, and you will not be killed. "Why won't you surrender? Let's make a point.

Liuzan sneered: "Although I am a small official, I am also a Chinese, and I have to surrender to Ru Barbarian?!" ”

It was Xun who raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "I am also a Chinese, temporarily living overseas, and I am a vassal, can I be barbaric?" ”

Liuzan retorted: "You invade my Chinese counties today, and those who do not obey the king are not barbarians?!" ”

Finally said this, Shi Xun couldn't help laughing, and then instantly restrained his smile, his face was gloomy, staring at Liuzan's face, and asked word by word: "That is the case, Sun Quan resists Wang Shi, disobeys Wang Hua, wants to divide Wu Hui, and becomes a mountain and river by himself, is it also a barbarian - why did you succumb to Sun Man?!" (To be continued......)
