The 60th Battle of Eastern Wu and Southern Han Dynasty Drives Cao Wei to the Central Plains Unification (30)
Wu Guotai didn't see her daughter for several days, and she was worried. Although every time Sun Quan is asked, Sun Quan says that the marriage has been completed. However, Wu Guotai was not stupid, seeing that Nanye's soldiers and horses did not retreat, he knew that things were not so simple, but he did not expect Sun Shangxiang to return to the camp late at night.
As soon as Sun Shangxiang saw Wu Guotai, he retreated left and right, and then threw himself into his mother's arms and cried. Seeing that her daughter was so sad, Wu Guotai felt pain and anger in her heart, and stroked Sun Shangxiang's hair and comforted: "Don't cry my son!" But that Nan Ye is not good for you? If that's the case, I'm trying my best not to reason with him! ”
Sun Shangxiang heard that his mother had misunderstood, and hurriedly stopped his sad voice and said: "It's not that the national teacher treats me badly, it's my brother who hurts me......"
Wu Guotai listened to Sun Shangxiang intermittently finish talking about what happened, and took out the letter as evidence, she couldn't help but fill her chest with anger, and said with tears: "This wolf-hearted thing dares to harm my son like this, fortunately the national teacher is benevolent, otherwise my son will die!" ”
Sun Shangxiang was afraid that Wu Guo would be too angry, so he hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry! This incident made a mistake so that her daughter had a good home. The meaning of the national teacher is to ask me to pick up my mother and go back to support, and in the future, my mother can return to Jianye and Wu County. ”
Wu Guotai is Sun Shangxiang's biological mother, although she is entrusted by her sister Mrs. Wu and regards Sun Quan as her own, but after all, the relationship is one layer worse. This time, Sun Quan deceived himself regardless of the feelings of his brother and sister, which made Wu Guotai extremely disappointed in Sun Quan, so he nodded and said: "The national teacher is really my son-in-law!" Since the national teacher has already arranged for me to wait for this, I will leave. ”
Sun Shangxiang said that Wu Guotai was overjoyed, and the mother and daughter didn't have much luggage, so they just packed up their soft lunches and left the camp that night. Although some of the patrolmen in the camp saw them leave the camp, no one dared to stop them. These two, one is Sun Quan's sister and the other is Sun Quan's mother, they are both rampant characters in the camp, who dares to come forward and find it uncomfortable?
Nan Ye was very happy to see that Sun Shangxiang went quickly and returned quickly, and personally went out of the camp to bring Wu Guotai into the camp and settle down. Wu Guotai was also overjoyed to see Nan Ye's extraordinary appearance and respect for himself, so he stayed in Nan Ye's camp. Nan Ye also incorporated Sun Shangxiang's maids into the women's barracks, which was led by Ma Yunluo, Hua Bei, and Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Quan did not learn until dawn the next day that Sun Shangxiang had abducted Wu Guotai and left the camp. Sun Quan knew that Wu Guo was too annoyed with him, so he didn't dare to publicize the matter, but he just ordered his generals not to spread the word so as not to be ashamed.
Nan Ye is ostensibly marrying Sun Shangxiang these days, but secretly he has been thinking about a plan. Sun Shangxiang's fire not only burned the thunderbolt, but also burned most of the grain and grass. Without the thunderbolt car, Nan Ye can still be built slowly, but as soon as the grain and grass are exhausted, Nan Ye must retreat. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Nan Ye not only did not say that there was little food in the battalion, but instead held a feast to complete the marriage, and the morale of the battalion was not affected.
Guo Jia and Pang Tong didn't have a good way to deal with the lack of food, and they wanted to solve it quickly, but Sun Quan and Cao Pi didn't give Nan Ye a chance. Therefore, the two could only suggest that Nan Ye quickly mobilize grain and grass, and the key was that Sun Quan and Cao Pi always chose a dangerous place to camp, and the transportation was very inconvenient.
Nan Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard that the two of them were worried about transporting grain: "This matter is very easy, we can build wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass." ”
Guo Jia and Pang Tong both knew that Huang Yueying could build wooden oxen and horses, and Nan Ye also had drawings in his hands, but he didn't think about it for a while. At this time, hearing Nan Ye mention it, the two of them were overjoyed. Guo Jia had an idea and said: "If there is such a thing, not only will there be no shortage of food and grass, but it may also be able to break the ...... of the Wu and Wei armies."
Nan Ye and Pang Tong couldn't help but praise Guo Jia's plan when they heard it, and the three of them went out of the camp overnight to check the geography. Sun Quan and Cao Pi used to prevent thunderbolts, and the camping places they chose were all between the mountains, and the terrain was extremely complicated. Nan Ye and the others suddenly arrived at the mouth of a valley, and saw that it was shaped like a gourd, and there were two open spaces between the two mountains, and there were slopes next to them, and the valley mouth could only ride in parallel.
Guo Jia summoned the local guide and asked, "What's the name of this place?" ”
The guide said, "This place is called Gourd Valley. ”
Pang Tongxi said: "This place is just a trick!" National teachers can be dispatched quickly. ”
When Nan Ye heard this, he summoned more than 2,000 craftsmen to go into the gourd valley to make wooden oxen and horses, and ordered Ma Chao to lead the troops to guard the valley entrance, and instructed the generals: "The craftsmen are not allowed to be released, and outsiders are not allowed to put them in." Don't leak messages. ”
Everyone took the order and left, and when Sun Shangxiang took Wu Guotai back to the camp, the wooden oxen and horses were all built, like living creatures, up and down the mountain, each doing their best, and the soldiers were all happy and amazed when they saw it.
After Nan Ye built the wooden oxen and flowing horses, he ordered Huang Xu to lead the soldiers to Yecheng to escort grain and grass for the camp. Cao Pi and Sun Quan were waiting for Nan Ye to withdraw from the army, and suddenly there was a report from the horse: "The Han soldiers used wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass." People don't work hard, and cattle and horses don't eat. The morale of the battalion was high, and the people along the way said that Nanye National Teacher had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. ”
Cao Pi was shocked when he heard the report: "We can't hold out, because its thunderbolt has been destroyed, and the grain and grass can't be helped, so we want to wait for it to kill itself." If we use this method now, we will make a long-term plan and not think of retreating. What if it were to rebuild a thunderbolt? ”
Sun Quan frowned and said: "This thing is also rare, but I don't know what it looks like, if I can see it with my own eyes, there may be a way to crack it." ”
Sima Yi nodded when he heard this, and summoned Cao Chun and Cao Zhen to instruct: "The two of you each lead a thousand military horses, copy them from the path, and wait for Nanye's soldiers to drive the wooden oxen and flowing horses, let him pass through first, and then kill them together." You don't need to grab more, just grab three or five horses and go back. Let's see what's in it. ”
The two generals led the order, each leading a thousand soldiers, stealing the path at night, going around to the back of the Nanye camp, and lying in the valley. Within a few days, I saw Huang Xu leading troops to drive wooden oxen and horses.
Cao Chun and Cao Zhen waited for Huang Xu's soldiers and horses to pass in turn, and suddenly both sides clamored to kill. The rear team of soldiers was caught off guard and let Cao Bing rob a few wooden oxen and horses.
Huang Xu escorted the grain and grass in front, and when he heard the shouts of killing behind him, he led the troops back. Cao Chun and Cao Zhen completed the task and did not fight to the death with Huang Xu, and after being entangled for a while, they saw that the soldiers had driven the wooden oxen and horses back, so they happily withdrew their troops.
Cao Pi, Sun Quan, Sima Yi, Lu Su and others were also overjoyed when they saw that the two generals had snatched back the wooden ox and flowing horse, and they watched non-stop. I saw that this wooden ox and horse advanced and retreated freely, like a living creature.
Just when the onlookers were amazed, Sima Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Nan Ye will use this method, and we can also use it." Not only that, but so is the Thunderbolt. If Nan Ye uses the Thunderbolt again, we can also take back the imitation. After that, more than 100 craftsmen were ordered to disassemble the wooden oxen and horses in person, and make the same wooden oxen and horses according to their size, length and thickness.
In less than half a month, Wu and Wei created more than 2,000 wooden oxen and flowing horses, which were no different from those made by Nan Ye, and they could also run. Sima Yi ordered Cao Zhen to lead troops to drive wooden oxen and horses to Youzhou to transport grain, intending to fight Nanye here. If he can't win again, let Nan Ye attack the boundary of Youzhou, and Cao Pi's territory in the Central Plains will not be able to be saved. The officers and men of the Wu and Wei armies were all happy to see that they also had wooden oxen and flowing horses.
However, he said that Huang Xu returned to see Nan Ye and said that Cao Jun had robbed the wooden ox and the horse. Guo Jia said with a smile: "I was about to rob him, and it took a few wooden oxen and horses, and soon he got a lot of funding, which is really good!" ”
Huang Xu was still worried about being punished when he returned to the camp, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to applaud, so he asked, "Why did the military advisor say yes?" ”
Nan Ye explained: "This is a plan for filial piety. Cao Pi and Sun Quan saw the wooden ox and flowing horse, and they must imitate it. At that time, the military advisor had his own plan to break it. ”
Sure enough, after more than ten days, there was a detailed return, and Sima Yi imitated wooden oxen and horses to transport grain to Youzhou. Guo Jia and Pang Tong were overjoyed when they heard the news and said: "Sure enough, it is not what we expected!" ”
After that, Guo Jia instructed Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong: "You and others will lead the people of the headquarters to pretend to be Cao soldiers, and steal through the Wu camp in the starry night. But when he saw the people who were carrying grain along the way, he scattered the guards and drove the wooden oxen and horses back. There will be Wu and Wei armies chasing after here, and you will twist the tongue in the mouth of the wooden ox and horse, and the cow and horse will not be able to move. You wait to abandon it and leave, and the people behind you arrive and can't be dragged and can't be lifted. I sent troops again, but I twisted the tongue of the ox and the horse, and drove the horse for a long time. If the two armies see each other, they will be suspicious! ”
Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong took the order and left, and Guo Jia called Zhang Baiqi and Gao Shun and ordered: "You and others lead the headquarters and pretend to be ghosts and ghosts." If the armor is not enough, they will paint their faces with colorful colors and pretend to be all kinds of strange things. When the wooden oxen and horses arrived, fireworks were set off, and they were all rushed out to drive the cattle and horses. When the Wu and Wei armies saw this, they would suspect that they were gods and ghosts, and they did not dare to chase after them. ”
Zhang Bai pretended to be a ghost, so he naturally readily agreed. Guo Jia called Huang Zhong and Huang Xu again: "You and others each lead 10,000 soldiers to meet the wooden ox and flowing horses, so as to retreat the chasing soldiers, if the chasing soldiers do not go, they will have their own white cavalry and Gao Shun to deal with it." After that, he arranged Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Wei Yan, Pang De and others one by one, and everyone obeyed the order.
However, it was said that Cao Zhen led troops to drive wooden oxen and horses, and loaded grain and rice to transport. In the middle of the line, it was suddenly reported that there were soldiers patrolling the food in front. Cao Zhen made people sentry, and if it was the banner of Cao Jun, he moved forward with confidence. When the two armies staggered, there was a sudden shout of killing, and the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty moved together, rose up to kill people in the Cao army's food team, and hacked most of the Cao soldiers to death.
Cao Zhen was caught off guard, and just as he was about to organize people to resist, he heard a shout beside him: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!" Immediately afterwards, a spear stabbed at Cao Zhen like a white dragon. Cao Zhen was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and Yang Xiong led his troops to kill Cao's army.
Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong defeated Cao's soldiers, and then drove the wooden oxen and horses back. The defeat of Cao's army was reported to Cao Pi and Sun Quan. Sima Yi couldn't help but be furious when he heard that the grain and grass had been robbed, so he ordered Cao Chun to go to the rescue. Sun Quan was afraid that Cao Chun would be defeated by Zhao Yun, so he sent Zhou Tai to accompany him.
After Cao Chun and Zhou Tai got the order, they led troops to chase after them. Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong saw that there were chasing soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to twist the tongue of the wooden ox and the horse, and they all abandoned the road. Cao Chun and Zhou Tai had no intention of pursuing, and just wanted to drive back the wooden ox and flowing horse, so they ordered the soldiers to drag it.
The Wu and Wei armies didn't know that the wooden oxen and the horses also had brake mechanisms, and although they worked hard to drive them together, where could they drive them? Cao Chun and Zhou Tai were puzzled in their hearts, and they were helpless, when suddenly the drums and horns were noisy, shouts broke out, and the soldiers from both roads came, but Huang Zhong and Huang Xu came to answer.
Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong saw that the responding soldiers had arrived, and they led the troops back to kill. Four-way attack, Cao Chun and Zhou Tai were defeated and left. Zhao Yun ordered the sergeant to twist the tongue of the cow and horse repeatedly, and continued to drive.
