Chapter 20: Facing the Yellow Turban Army
In an ordinary house in Donglai City, a group of four people from the Longteng team and Zuo Chengzu walked out, and they waited at the door for a while before Qing Tong walked out with red eyes.
Li Muhao asked Qingtong: "Senior sister, do you really think Tai Shici's mother is a godmother?" ”
Qing Tong wiped her tears and nodded.
Jiumu said: "I also felt so kind when I saw my mother, but I was preempted by Sister Qingtong. ”
I lost my smile that year, Tai Shici's mother was really a very kind mother, although she was only in her forties, she was already weathered, she looked a little old, but she was very amiable, and she was knowledgeable, and she was able to teach the righteous and heroic Tai Shici.
After they came to see Tai Shi Ci's mother, before they could say a few words, Qing Hitomi's eyes turned red, and when Ci Mother asked the reason, Qing Hitomi explained that she had not seen her mother since she was a child, and her mother had disappeared when she was young, so she had hardly enjoyed maternal love.
The loving mother also loved Qingtong so much that she even recognized Qingtong as her goddaughter.
Everyone has never known where Qingtong's mother is, since they knew Qingtong, they have only seen Nie Zhenhai raising Qingtong alone, as for Qingtong's mother, Qingtong didn't say it, they didn't want to ask, only today did they know that Qingtong's mother disappeared when she was young.
Then the mother recognized them all as righteous sons and righteous daughters by the way, anyway, one recognized it, and two of them also recognized it, and these children were very good children in the eyes of the wise eyes of the loving mother.
Hongyun thought for a while and asked Li Muhao, "Is the food you bought enough?" ”
Li Muhao nodded: "I carried several bags, because it was enough, right?" ”
Hongyun said: "No, I still want to buy some more clothes and uses for my mother." ”
That year shook his head: "You can't put too much, you are guilty of it, the soldiers are in chaos, and you are careful to attract unscrupulous people." ”
Qingtong said: "Then let's accompany my godmother more these days, she is lonely, it's so pitiful." ”
In the next few days, they came to accompany her every day, which made her very happy and treated them well.
On this day, news came from Beihai that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of its Qu Shuai Guan Hai, suddenly sent troops to attack Beihai County, and Beihai Xiang Kong Rong was gathering troops to prepare for the personal expedition.
Now everyone can't sit still, just Kong Rong's two brushes are not material for leading troops to fight at all, if Beihai is lost, then the incident of the Longteng squad will be gone at all.
Therefore, the Longteng team must immediately rush back to Beihai to try to dissuade Kong Rong from concentrating.
That year, he solemnly said to Zuo Chengzu: "This rented house will be left to you, and I will leave you some money and things, and you will protect your loving mother here and let her have no worries about food and clothing, can you do it?" ”
Before they came, they exchanged their points for some local copper coins, and then they were funded by Mi Zhu, and now their net worth can almost be regarded as very rich.
Zuo Chengzu hurriedly bowed and clenched his fists: "Since the sacrifice of his life is completed, as long as it is ordered by the adult, the villain will never give up." ”
For Zuo Chengzu has always been very respectful to everyone, they had no way to do it that year, and refused several times, which made Zuo Chengzu even more afraid, for fear that they would ignore it, so simply let him be, maybe this is the limitation and sorrow of the characters of this era, if they are treated equally, they will panic.
That year, he told again: "It's a pity that the loving mother has to wait for Tai Shici to return, and is unwilling to move to Beihai, if there is danger here, you must also take the loving mother to Beihai, don't let the loving mother fall into danger, can you do it?" ”
Zuo Chengzu repeatedly promised that even if he died, he would complete the trust, so everyone left Donglai County with confidence and hurried to Beihai.
In the Beihai City Lord's Mansion, Kong Rong was reported by the guards, and those "visitors from outside the mountain" came to visit again.
Kong Rong was overjoyed, and said to You Heng: "Those few strong men watched the prosperity of our army, and saw that Rong was about to conquer my family, and they would never abandon my Beihai, and a few more strong men would help them, and the thieves in Guan Hai would be defeated with one blow, and the peace in Qingzhou would be just around the corner!" ”
You Heng also bowed down to congratulate Kong Rong, and at the same time bluntly said with concern that these people from outside the mountains must have come to share their exploits.
Kong Rong waved his hand, disapproving: "I am Hanchen, I should share my worries for the country, what is the use of meritorious service to me?" ”
When he saw that year and others entering the lobby, Kong Rong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.
After clasping his fists and saluting that year, he asked straight to the point: "I heard that Lord Wenju wants to recruit thieves in person, I don't know if it's serious?" ”
Kong Rong smiled proudly: "That's right, the Yellow Turban thieves are just a rabble, and Guan Hai's subordinates are mostly coerced people, waiting for me to come to the front of the battle, preaching the way of the sages, the Yellow Turban thieves will naturally fall apart, although Rong is not talented, but in my opinion, although the thieves are numerous, they are all like chickens and dogs!" ”
Tell the Yellow Turban Army about Kong and Meng? Will they disarm and surrender? The Dragon Teng team looked at each other, this Kong Rong is not only the first poisonous tongue of the Three Kingdoms, but also the first romantic dreamer!
That year, he clenched his fists and solemnly persuaded Kong Rong: "Lord Wenju should be cautious!" Although the Ministry of Guan Hai is a rabble, but there are also many people, the battlefield is dangerous, Lord Wenju is the lord of a state, or don't risk yourself, we are willing to go for Lord Wenju. ”
Hearing the dissuasion of that year, Kong Rong didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "Rong is entrusted by the Han family to take care of the political affairs of a state, the prevalence of bandits is the ineffective governance of Rong, Rong has been ashamed, and now the bandits dare to attack Beihai, I should look up and fight, and I am worthy of my lord's love!" ”
Then he said magnanimously: "Our army is strong, this trip is not very dangerous, a few strong men should not walk with Rong to watch our army's great victory." ”
In the face of the stubborn and self-serving Kong Rong, the Longteng team was powerless to dissuade them, so they could only agree to go together, at least to protect Kong Rong, Kong Rong couldn't die now.
In Dongchang County, not far from Beihai, Kong Rong led 10,000 foot soldiers plus 3,000 light cavalry and thousands of soldiers to settle in, known as 40,000 troops, and the people were full of noise for a while, and in the mountains and fields at the city wall, Guan Hai's Taiping Dao army was finally ushered in.
That year, they accompanied Kong Rong to stand on the city wall, looking at the mighty Yellow Turban Army in the distance, Guan Hai claimed to have 100,000 troops, but combined with the reports of many scouts, its number was also more than 40,000, which was far more than the Qingzhou army led by Kong Rong.
Kong Rong looked at the endless thieves, but his face was not afraid, he smiled and pointed to the Yellow Turban Army and said to that year: "The thieves are in rags, the banners are scattered, chaotic and there is no formation, on the other hand, our army has clear armor and strict discipline. ”
Nodding that year, it is true on the surface, but I am afraid that the generals will be incompetent, one general will be incompetent, and the three armies will be exhausted, if Kong Rong takes the well-equipped Qingzhou Army and Guan Hai to peck each other as a rookie, it will be funny, and Guan Hai has swept all the way, and he must have experienced a lot of battles and battles, no matter how you look at it, he is not a rookie on the battlefield.
The Yellow Turban Army pressed down from a distance, and the rear army began to set up camp and set up tents, while the front part continued to come towards Duchang County.
Kong Rong waved his big hand: "Let's go out of the city and look up to it!" ”
That year, he hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, we can take advantage of the city wall, and it may be dangerous to go out of the city to face the battle!" ”
Kong Rong smiled gracefully: "The strong man doesn't know, 'the enemy is tired and hits', the thieves come from afar, it is the time of exhaustion, and our army is waiting for work, morale is flourishing, and it is just right to meet it"
Then Kong Rong pointed to a handsome military general not far in front of him: "And I have Admiral Zongbao!" He has the courage to fight unstoppable, and if he fights, he will definitely be able to make contributions in one fell swoop to boost morale! ”
The military general noticed that Kong Rong was pointing at him, and he hugged his fist towards the lord from afar, and he was indeed majestic and extraordinary.
With another wave of his hand, he brought a few horses under his hand, and he said to the others that year: "If a few strong men go out of the city with Rong, they can watch our army open and win." ”
Kong Rong repeatedly rejected the advice of the Longteng team, so that they knew that it was useless to persuade them that year, so they could only protect Kong Rong at close range, and first make sure that Kong Rong would not have an accident.
That year, he let Jiumu ride the "dark clouds and snow", and he and others rode the war horses provided by Kong Rong, although these war horses are not as good as the "dark clouds and snow" horses, but they are also very good, Kong Rong is still very generous in this regard, and they are carefully selected good horses that year.
In particular, the strongest horse was on Li Muhao, and he was still able to walk like a fly, which made Li Muhao very happy, glad that he had not practiced riding in vain during this time, and finally did not have to bully the "dark clouds and snow" anymore.
In order to adapt to the riding battle, during this time, everyone in the Longteng squad practiced riding, but unfortunately they only had one "dark cloud stepping snow", Xiao is "dark cloud stepping snow" is very miraculous, and they were tossed enough, looking at their eyes are very resentful.
The Dragon Teng team lined up with Kong Rong out of the city, and they guarded not far from Kong Rong, and Kong Rong was more intimate with You Heng, Zong Bao and others, it can be seen that these people are Kong Rong's most valued henchmen.
Kong Rong only respects the Longteng team, or just borrows their identity as "people outside the mountain", in order to tell the powers that I also have the intention of supporting people outside the mountain, and the real military affairs will not be discussed with the Longteng team.
The front team of the Yellow Turban Army approaching Duchang City saw that Kong Rongjun also went out of the city to line up, and after they approached, they pressed the corner of the formation and stopped, although it was not as neat as the formation of the Qingzhou Army, but it was not messy, and even the ruthlessness and fierceness in their eyes were better than the Qingzhou Army.
One of the Yellow Turban Army drove out, immediately a stout, bearded general, he was holding a big knife, he saw the middle-aged Confucian led by the banner of the word "Kong", knowing that this was the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, he yelled at Kong Rong: "I am Guan Hai, you are Kong Rong, right?" I know that Beihai has a wide range of grain, and I can borrow 10,000 stones, even if I retreat; Otherwise, break the city, and leave the old and young behind! ”
Qing Tong frowned when he heard this, although it was just a threatening word, but the mention of slaughtering the city made Qing Tong very unhappy.
Seeing that Guan Hai's words were very polite, Kong Rong was also angry, and he said: "I am the minister of the Han Dynasty, guarding the land of the Han Dynasty, how can there be grain, rice and thieves!" ”
Guan Hai was furious when he heard this, and he stopped talking, he slapped his horse and danced his knife, and went straight to Kong Rong in the middle, as if he knew that Kong Rong had no unscrupulous generals and was not afraid to ride alone to break through the enemy's formation.
Without waiting for Kong Rong's orders, the handsome general Zong Bao slapped his horse out and leaned straight towards Guan Hai, and on the way, he unhurriedly took off a spear from the side of the horse, a white horse and a silver spear, which was indeed extraordinary.
The horses on both sides were wrong, the swords and guns intersected, there was a crisp sound, Guan Hai's body did not move, but Zong Bao shook it, in terms of strength, Zong Bao, who was a talent, was really not as good as Guan Hai who was full of beards.
The two turned their horses around again, this time slowing down, and the two horses approached, and they fought.
Guan Hai's long knife was powerful and heavy, but Zong Bao's marksmanship was agile and fast, and the two were entangled, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.
The battle between the two moved the Longteng team, except for that year, the rest of the people had fought with Gan Ning, they thought that the first-class generals here were nothing more than that, but when they saw it today, they were not first-class generals contending, and the strength they showed seemed to be above them.
They looked at each other, Li Muhao pointed under him and shook his head, meaning that if it was on a horse, he was not Guan Hai's opponent, if it was a foot battle, it was estimated that Guan Hai would not be his opponent, but would Guan Hai dismount and fight with Li Muhao?
This kind of problem also applies to other people, maybe only that year's combat skills are more suitable for horses, but although he has "dark clouds and snow", his riding skills are definitely not comparable to these Three Kingdoms generals who are skilled in riding and fighting.
In this battle, perhaps we can only hope that Zongbao can defeat Guan Hai, otherwise, the Longteng team can only protect Kong Rong's thoughtfulness, but they are powerless to change the battle situation.
