Wang Kuang raised troops to fight against Dong, and naturally needed a flowery article to boost his morale
Wang Kuang will never be able to do this, don't look at his little fame in Shilin, and at the same time he has obtained the status of two thousand stones, but when it comes to learning, Wang Kuang really can't be called very good, and he is not famous in this regard.
Wang Kuang's reputation is somewhat similar to the current Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao. Zhang Miaona is one of the world's famous "eight kitchens", as mentioned earlier, the word "kitchen" in this "eight kitchens" does not mean that the other party is a cook or that the other party has anything to do with the kitchen, but that he is hospitable and wealthy. Although Wang Kuang's family wealth is not as good as Zhang Miao, he was also a high-roller when he was young.
It is precisely for this reason that Wang Kuang, who has gained a good reputation, has a good background, and he has the step to advance.
So although there is nothing wrong with writing this article, if you want to write the article as sharp as a sword and make people not feel like a shrew scolding the street, he Wang Kuang really doesn't have that skill. The gap between this is probably like the comparison between an Internet writer and Lu Xun.
However, although the article is not well written, Wang Kuang is not a rich generation who has no ability to just throw money, in fact, he is also an experienced commander. Of course, all skirmishes were commanded with no more than five hundred people.
Wang Kuang was born in Taishan County, Yanzhou. Except for Fei County and Nancheng County, which originally belonged to Donghai County in the south, the land is relatively flat and fertile, and most of the rest of the area is hilly terrain with more mountains. The Liangfu Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, the Yuan Mountain, the Turtle Mountain and the most famous Mount Tai in the territory can be said to be endless, each with its own dangerous place, all of which have the state of being a husband and wife.
Just as the Huiji Mountains cultivated the strong physique of the Shanyue people, and also achieved the legend of one of the four major mercenaries of the Eastern Han Dynasty of the Danyang Soldiers, the complex and dangerous terrain of Taishan County not only made the name of the Taishan group of thieves resounded in the eastern region of the Han Dynasty, so that countless officials had a headache and even died, but at the same time, it also gave birth to another well-known army in the country - Taishan strong crossbow. Although there is no mercenary work, the officials who have come out of Taishan County are still active in the elite troops throughout the country.
Although it is said to be a strong crossbow, most of these troops who belong to the powerful private soldiers do not have the ability to have those powerful standard crossbows of the Han Dynasty, and they have more crossbow machines that are circulated among the people. The power of such a crossbow machine is not as good as that of a standard crossbow, and because there is no standardized production, maintenance and parts replacement are very cumbersome.
However, it is undeniable that the crossbow is the most lethal individual weapon in the era of cold weapons, and it is also the most stable long-range attack weapon with the most stable trajectory. Although the physical requirements of a crossbow are even higher than that of a bow, as long as you are proficient in crossbow operation, the average hit rate of a crossbow is far greater than that of a bow that relies solely on hand.
Of course, the imperial court's standard crossbow was not only better in this regard, but it also had some more feared repeaters, the kind of murderous weapon that could be called the Maxim machine gun of the cold weapon era, which could make any class of troops kneel in front of it.
By the way, one of the gains of Li Shushi's trip to Luoyang was the manufacturing methods of those standard crossbows and repeating crossbows, and by the way, he picked up the grass and beat the rabbit and got away a few craftsmen who were quite accomplished in this field. Now Li Shushi's only pity is that a certain greatest inventor of the Three Kingdoms period is still in the embryonic stage, otherwise Li Shushi really has the urge to snatch it.
Born in Mount Tai, Wang Kuang naturally had to contend with the cunning bandits who came and went without a trace, and at the same time surrounded by his own family's strong crossbowmen - although their profession was only ordinary archers, they were indeed a group of warriors who were accustomed to fighting with crossbows. Therefore, Wang Kuang is still very familiar with the battlefield.
Don't think that a fight between hundreds or even dozens of people is sometimes like a fight between two villages, but in fact, when it comes to playing tricks and tricks, this kind of skirmish can highlight the details that cannot be imagined in the battle of the big army.
Of course, now Wang Kuang's subordinates are not five or six hundred, nor one or two thousand, but tens of thousands of troops. Commanding an army of this size is really a big girl for Wang Kuang - the first time, but Wang Kuang still shows enough confidence. So, please look forward to his wonderful performance!
Hey? What's going on with these banana peels, and the tomatoes over there, how do you know how many nights we're going to eat tomato scrambled eggs (no fog)? It would be better if you threw a few more eggs, and now that the price is high, it's not easy to eat an egg.
Well, without further ado, let's turn our attention back to the battlefield.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although our attack this time is tentative, I think you should also know that Dong Thief's Xiliang Army is definitely not a bone to gnaw on. If we cross the Yellow River and fight a decisive battle in Henan, firstly, our army will be small, and secondly, it will be difficult for the equipment to catch up with the Dong thief army with the Luoyang treasury. ”
"Your Excellency has a point. Although this Luoyang has the solidity of eight passes, it has Hanoi in the north, Jingxiang in the south, and the east is eyeing the east and the heroes. If there is a general who crosses the Bears Ears Mountain and reaches Hongnong to intercept his back road, Dong Thief will die in the lonely city of Luoyang. As long as we guard the natural danger of the Yellow River and wait for the time, and then either go west to the east of the river to cut off the return route of the Dong thief, or go south to echo the princes of Kwantung, then Lord Taishou will definitely get full merit. Even if the return of the Dong thief cannot be broken, the Dong thief should retreat in panic under the iron wall on three sides. ”
"It is worthy of being a young talent of the Sima family, Boda's words are reasonable, and they are secretly in line with what I think."
Regarding Wang Kuang's compliment, Sima Lang didn't show any expression, because this was something he should be able to think of, so he felt that it was not difficult, or did he think that Wang Kuang who said that sentence was too shameless and not far away?
This may only be known to Sima Lang himself, but now the Sima family still has to ask Wang Kuang, the Hanoi Taishou, if there is no bullet pressure from this Hanoi Taishou, whether his Sima family still exists in this world is a problem, so even if Sima Lang really disdains Wang Kuang, he can't show anything on his face, because the more villainous he is, the more difficult it is.
"It's just that there are so many crossings on the Yellow River, with our current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them. If Dong Thief mobilizes with all his might, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend. And although we are pressed on the top of Dong Thief's head, we also have a strong enemy behind us. ”
At this time, a Confucian scholar dressed as a civil official who was sitting in the first seat on the right side of Wang Kuang's head spoke.
"That guy will be handed over to Ben Chu, we just need to concentrate on dealing with the Dong thief in front of us. In addition, as long as we can survive this time, when the time comes, when the princes of the four directions rise together, we can sit back and relax under the lack of skills of Dong Thief. ”
Because Li Shushi has recently transferred most of his main force to the north, the Kwantung princes have some illusions, thinking that Li Shushi intends to continue to maintain neutrality in this imminent war. Although he doesn't like this speculative guy very much, Wang Kuang also has to admit that whether or not Li Shushi participates will have a huge impact on the battle situation.
However, Yuan Shao seemed confident that he would persuade Li Shushi to at least remain neutral, or that even if Li Shushi intended to help Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao seemed to have a way to make Li Shushi unable to get out of trouble with the Kwantung princes.
The abundance of resources and the breadth of contacts of the Yuan family are obviously not comparable to Wang Kuang's imagination, so instead of guessing what way Yuan Shao will use to deal with Li Shushi, it is better to concentrate on thinking about how to deal with Dong Zhuo, who is like a behemoth in front of him.
"Yuanhei, you lead the army to Mengjin and wait for the opportunity to seize the lower Mengjin Pass in order to gain the initiative. Although the Xiliang Army is indeed difficult to entangle on the road, but now the ice on the surface of the Yellow River is melting, and those war horses of the Xiliang Army can't run on it at all. Wang De, you take Taishan Jun and Yuan Hei to Heyang together, and you must control Meng Jin. Remember, whether you can take Mengjin Pass is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that you must not let a single soldier on the other side of the river go ashore. ”
"The last general commands!" ×2。
The person who had just spoken out to express his concern sat under Wang Kuang's head, and the first person on the right and the second person on the left got up at the same time.
Yuan heir, Han Yuan heir, that is, Wang Kuang's engagement, Han Hao, a native of Hanoi. Although he is a civil official who is good at internal affairs, he has a strong heart. Xiahoudun was almost disillusioned because of this courageous man, although the greater responsibility for that incident was not on Han Hao but on Xiahoudun, but it could also be seen that the psychological element at this time was really first-class.
As for Wang De, there is nothing to say, Wang Kuang is from Taishan's clan, and only when he comes to command the Taishan Army, the descendant and ace army in Wang Kuang's hands, can Wang Kuang feel at ease.
The place where Han Hao and Wang De led the army was going was the famous Mengjin region, a place that had to be fought for if they wanted to control Luoyang.
Mengjin is located on the north bank of the Yellow River in the east of Hayang County, Hanoi County, where the water potential of the Yellow River is relatively gentle, and the water flow speed is not as turbulent as the West River and Hedong area, and because it carries a large amount of sediment from the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches, several large and small sandbanks are formed in the center of the Yellow River between Hanoi and Henan, especially in the north of Luoyang, just like Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. However, because of the limited width of the Yellow River, the area of these sandbanks is very limited, but the military value is very high.
One of the most famous sandbanks is the one in the heart of the Yellow River facing Mengjindu, an important pass called Mengjin Pass.
Although Mengjin and Mengjin Pass are so similar in name and only a few hundred meters apart, the two places are just like the original mainland and the Pearl of the Orient, one belongs to Ha Yang County in Hanoi County, and the other belongs to Luoyang.
Mengjin can also be said to be a historical area, when King Wu of Zhou crossed the river with the princes when he crossed the river, so this place is also called Mengjin, and its meaning can be known literally. And because Mengjin is located in Heyang, Mengjin also has another name called Heyangjin, but compared to the name Mengjin, Heyangjin is really not famous.
On the opposite side of the river, Mengjin Pass is a small city standing on a sandbar in the middle of the river. Although the area of the castle is not large, it is like a big lock that firmly locks the waterway of the Yellow River, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so even Wang Kuang clearly knows that the Xiliang army is not accustomed to water warfare, but he does not have much hope for attacking Mengjin Pass.
By the way, about 10 axioms west of Mengjin Pass, there is also a pass located in the sandbar of Hexi, which is one of the eight passes in Luoyang with Mengjin Pass - Xiaopingjin Pass.
