Chapter 498: The Biography of Sun Jian (3)
β180 A.D.ββ
In the seventh year of Xiping, the general of the expedition to the west, Huangfu Song, led 80,000 knights of the three rivers to arrive at Fufeng to assist in the defense, and the rebellion in Liangzhou was stable, and Song appreciated the meritorious service of the volunteers led by the ranger commander Dong Zhuo to assist in the defense, and named him the general of Zhonglang, and on the same day, the general Zhang Wen of Zhenxi handed over the defense affairs with the Fufeng County Guard, and arranged for all the troops to be stationed in turn, but the general was very light.
Fufeng, the left army battalion.
"Yigong's 'Wushuang' special effects are quite good!" Sun Jian, who was dressed in red armor and cloak, was standing outside the garrison area where his department was arranged, watching his soldiers camp, and praised Cheng Pu beside him: "General Huangfu knows that our team exists, but he will unconsciously ignore who the leader is, so that we have suffered a few times less splinting. β
Due to the overlap of powers, although the general of Zhengxi Huangfu Song and the general of Zhenxi Zhang Wen are not the same power, they can also be regarded as disgusting with each other, in Sun Jian's view, they obviously represent the scholars and eunuchs behind them, and they cannot be ambiguous on the primary issue of counterinsurgency, but in terms of details, such as embarrassing the generals who lean towards the other side, it is still no problem.
However, when they remembered that the Xiapi militia led by [Han Dang Han Yigong] and the 5,000 men and horses mixed with the Jiangdong soldiers, they would be directly treated as a direct force without a main general.
Huangfu Song himself is a general who is deeply respected by ordinary soldiers, and he himself knows this very well, to express goodwill, it is enough to go around the barracks and praise a few commanders, while Zhang Wen is not famous and unclear with the ten permanent servants, so he simply directly gives him additional meals, replenishes baggage, and rewards excellent weapons and equipment - these are laughed at by Sun Jian and others.
In short, the overall morale of this army that rushed to Fufeng is quite good, but it is not certain how long it can last in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou.
"What the young master said is very true," Cheng Pu agreed, "If it weren't for the righteous duke, at most a few people would be neglected, we might even lead our subordinates to infiltrate the rebel camp and capture the thief leader." β
"Hmm......" Sun Jian thought about taking a few elites to infiltrate the decapitation plan for a while, and quickly gave up this plan, not to mention that Han Dang couldn't do it, even if he could successfully infiltrate, his subordinates didn't have enough to ride a thousand and escort them away after they succeeded-did you want to beat Huang Gai before leaving?
"Young master! The subordinates have heard clearly! As soon as he thought of Huang Gai, he rode over from the direction of the other western camps.
The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if they are really a direct personal soldier, it would be fine, but Sun Jian came to make meritorious contributions, what is the matter of always guarding the city? So after arriving, they invited Huang Gai, Zu Mao and ...... respectively Oh yes, Han Dang, go and listen to the news of all parties separately, and finally ask Cheng Pu to formulate a reliable plan of action.
When he came closer, Huang Gai turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Young Master, there are a total of 40,000 volunteers and county soldiers in the West Battalion, and thousands of wounded soldiers from Sanhe are recuperating there. β
If you say that you are seriously injured, you are seriously injured, why do you look like you yearn for it? It was an injury caused by the enemy, and it couldn't trigger your "Wushuang", so Sun Jian endured and endured, and finally didn't exit directly.
Huang Gai paused. He continued: "According to them, there was originally a heavy infantry unit called the 'Trap Camp' stationed there, who had been ordered to go out and had not yet returned, and since the leader was LΓΌ Bulu Fengxian, who was known as the 'unworthy courage of ten thousand people', there was no concern in their tone. β
"In addition, when the defenders of the city engaged in battle with the rebels, they had seen from afar under the banners of 'Bian' and 'Han', and there were banners such as 'Song', 'Ma', and 'Pang', but ordinary soldiers didn't know much, so as to avoid suspicion, their subordinates did not dare to inquire about the battle situation in detail."
"It's nothing more than some cavalry," Sun Jian looked at the conspicuous "Huangfu" handsome banner of the Chinese army in the left camp and said: "When the time comes, will we also put out the banner of the word 'Sun'?" β
"I'm afraid the young master has forgotten that this army has Han Dang as its general, and it is also the word 'Han' to fight." Cheng Pu reminded.
"I haven't forgotten, General Han Dang...... Haha......" Sun Jian laughed dryly.
"The subordinates return to the young master." Zu Mao came from the direction of Fufeng County, although there are many wasteland Gobi outside, but there are still a lot of trees planted in the county, which is suitable for him to "wear the forest" to inquire about the situation.
"Zu Mao, did those 'generals' negotiate anything?" Cheng Pu saw that Sun Jian was still a little embarrassed, so he asked directly for him.
"It is well known that Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen are not on good terms, Zhou Shen suffered a defeat and did not dare to speak, as for Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, who had just been named a broken general......" Zu Mao stopped: "He seems to look down on Zhang Wen very much, but he admires Huang Fu Song more, but Huang Fu Song is quite cold to him, on the contrary, although Zhang Wen is dissatisfied, he is trying to make friends with Dong Zhuo." β
"Huh?" Sun Jian was confused when he heard this: "I asked you to inquire about the possible battles in the near future, so that you can attack one step ahead, what did you probe and come back?" β
"Hmm......" Zu Mao took off his red turban and scratched his head: "In detail, Dong Zhuo proposed, 'Since General Huangfu is here, he should take the general's horse as the head of the horse', and Huangfu Song said, 'Come from afar, the guest is as you like, and ask General Dong to continue to command', at this time Zhang Wen interjected, 'Our department will provide enough baggage to General Dong to show support', but Dong Zhuo said, 'Don't bother Zhang Gong, my department can raise it by itself'. β
"I don't know ...... even more"
"I don't understand normal," Cheng Pu seemed to hear something from it, and smiled at Sun Jian, who had a puzzled expression: "When the young master marries a few more concubines, you can understand what they are talking about." β
"Oh, Rong'er will kill me." Sun Jian shook his head again and again: "Since Demou has made up his mind, then I just have to listen." β
"That subordinate only said the conclusion," Cheng Pu said, "The Ranger Volunteer Army, as well as the Three Rivers Knights who are inclined to General Huangfu and General Zhang respectively, will fight separately in the next counterinsurgency, and will cooperate if it is convenient, and turn a blind eye to other troops when it is inconvenient." β
"Strange...... However...... "Sun Jian seemed to have an understanding, but he couldn't figure it out clearly.
Cheng Pu smiled and said nothing, the next inference can only be figured out by the young master himself, although the Han is calm at this time, but those hideous reefs hidden under the water will not disappear, maybe the head of the family can explain to the young master in advance, but those of them who are subordinates can only wait for Sun Jian to figure it out - just see that he still intends to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, you know that he still has illusions about it.
"Well, I'll talk about it later," Sun Jian simply gave up thinking: "Yigong hasn't come back yet?" It should be safe for him to go to rebel-occupied areas to reconnoiter with his own characteristics. β
"With Lao Shao's concern, his subordinates' trip went very smoothly." Han Dang responded.
"......" Sun Jian turned around, looked carefully at Han Dang, who had been standing beside him from the beginning, and sighed: "No matter how many times you look at it, this kind of 'unparalleled characteristic' that is obviously there, but will be ignored, is still unaccustomable." β
The huge physique, the crimson armor, the huge blades like knives and axes, as well as the fierce appearance and strange hairstyle, are a collection of elements that are completely impossible to ignore, but they will be ignored like pebbles on the side of the road, if it is not for the fact that he will lift this ignorance as soon as he makes a move or speaks, it is more appropriate to be a stealthy assassin than a general.
Well...... At the moment, the spies are doing a good job, and the soldiers in the barracks will not be wary of the walls when they are not gossiping about the military.
"Our general's name, what's coming from?" Han ...... While? Is there such a person? The words of the subordinate soldiers simply made the listeners sad and the listeners wept.
"Young master," as he himself said, Han Dang, who had long been accustomed to being ignored, continued with an unchanged expression: "The subordinates have heard that Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Lu Bu led his 'trapping camp' to stir up chaos in the rebel occupied area, and the people are panicked and want to retreat to Xiliang, after they defeated more than 10,000 heavy cavalry, they have already attracted the attention of the rebel commander Han Sui, and ordered Ma Teng and Pang De to lead the 'mountain cavalry' to chase and suppress, and there have been preliminary results, making the entire trap disappear. β
"'Mountain Ride'?" Sun Jian asked in surprise.
Han Dang said: "My subordinates have not seen this kind of cavalry in the enemy camp, I only heard that it is a cavalry composed of 'mountain horses' who are good at walking on uneven ground, and the strength is only slightly higher than that of reconnaissance light cavalry, but galloping in the mountains is like walking on flat ground, which will make people suffer a big loss when they are caught off guard." β
"Hmm...... Who are the specific generals of the rebels? Can you detect 'unequaled' traits or weaknesses? Sun Jian nodded and continued to ask.
"Because the big tent was heavily guarded, his subordinates did not dare to approach, but when I listened to the soldiers' talk, I learned that the coach Bian Zhang was consistent with the rumors and there was no special 'Wushuang', Song Yang was a civil official, and the other coach Han Sui's unequaled characteristics were ......" Han Dang's expression was slightly strange: "'A thousand cups are not drunk'." β
"......" Sun Jian showed an expression of "you are joking".
"It is said that this trait was defeated by Dong Zhuo, and he took revenge in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo's hometown." Han Dang added.
"Okay...... What about the 'Wushuang' who went to hunt down Lu Bu and the two? Sun Jian waved his hand and motioned for Han Dang to continue, so as not to laugh out loud.
"Ma Teng is from the Xiliang Ma family, it is said that he has been removed from the family because of his participation in the rebellion, his peerless characteristic is 'galloping', which can only be launched when riding a horse, the faster he moves before launching an attack, the longer the distance he moves, the greater the lethality to the enemy," Han Dang said: "The soldier swore that he had seen Ma Teng ride a horse for several miles, and a shot pierced the gate of Wuwei, and no one could pull out that big gun until now." β
ββ¦β¦ If this hits someone, it will not only be pierced, but also nailed to a wall or tree. Sun Jian became a little serious: "It seems that this move can only be hidden, not blocked, and it can't be blocked even if there is a shield." β
Han Dang continued: "As for Pang De's 'Wushuang', it is a 'fierce battle', the longer he keeps fighting fiercely, the stronger he will become, but what is 'fierce', 'keeping', and what is the 'strong' method, those soldiers can't say why. β
"This ......" Cheng Pu suddenly frowned.
"This is simply a combination of Zhan Na Lu Bu!" Sun Jian exclaimed: "Pang De entangled Lu Bu, and Ma Teng sprinted from a great distance, as long as Lu Bu's 'Wushuang' is not a defensive type, I am afraid that he will be killed on the spot." β
"It's decided, Demou, let's go save Lu Bu," After thinking about it, Sun Jian said to Cheng Pu: "Then Dong Zhuo and most of the strategists under his account are planning on the premise of his 'unworthy bravery', and it is absolutely impossible to consider that someone can kill him with one blow." β
"......" Cheng Pu thought for a moment, and his brows stretched: "This plan is feasible." β
Yes? What's the meter? Sun Jian was confused again.
