Chapter 33: The Battle of Dong'a
In the hall of Dong'e County, Chen Gong set up a banquet to entertain the Tibetan tyrant, and the banquet frequently toasted the Tibetan tyrant, which was very enthusiastic. After thirty years of drinking, Chen Gong came to Zangba with a small box in both hands, and carefully placed the box on the table. "Thank you to the general for sending troops to rescue, there is nothing to repay! This is the official seal of Dongjun Taishou, I hope the general will not refuse! β
"Hehehe! If it is not a certain impersonal relationship, this matter is very important, and I will give you an answer after this matter is reported to my father-in-law, how about it? For Chen Gong to make himself an official, Zangba smiled and had an ambiguous attitude. If the Tibetan tyrant agrees, then the official position of the Tibetan tyrant can be tied with Xie Chengbin, and if it is not good, it may make Xie Chengbin suspicious. Xie Chengbin is very good to the Tibetan tyrant's family, and even lets the Tibetan tyrant under the age of 20 take charge alone, which shows the importance and trust in this, for which the Tibetan tyrant is always grateful to Xie Chengbin, and falling out with Xie Chengbin will not be the result that the Tibetan tyrant wants. It would be too wasteful if you refused, after all, it is a county, and there are many interests in it, maybe Xie Chengbin will agree.
"Oh? What the general said is very true, it is a certain ill-conceived thought! The general has a heavy army in his hands at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future! Chen Gong didn't expect that Zangba would refuse to accept it, and his face was a little embarrassed.
The progress of the work in Licheng is quite smooth, but because there are too many people and the things that need to be dealt with are too cumbersome, such as how many households should be divided into each of the nine counties of Jinan (excluding the county seats); For those who have no relatives and only themselves, how many juyi halls will be built to live together (men and women are separated); How to plan the location of the Juyi Hall building; how much grain and how much fertile land should be distributed to each person; How many elderly people and how many people need to take care of children, etc. Xie Chengbin was busy, and even Tai Shici had to help run errands, and he was finally busy after three days.
The novels or movies and television I have read before have basically not mentioned these civil affairs, Xie Chengbin still thought that as long as he went into battle to kill the enemy, he didn't understand that management was such a troublesome thing until now. At this time, Xie Chengbin was pinching his chin, thinking about whether to lead his subordinates south to join Sun Jian, anyway, as long as he could change history, it would be the same if he was not the master. Just when Xie Chengbin was thinking about it, a herald ran in to report it. "Enlighten the Envoy! In the great victory of Dong'a, the Tibetan general's headquarters broke Liu Dai's army, beheaded more than 5,000 enemies, and captured countless military materials such as the official seal of Dongjun, 30,000 taels of silver, 100,000 stones of grain, weapons and war drums! β
A smile appeared on Xie Chengbin's tired face when he heard this, and he was about to give the order to reward the three armies, when another herald rushed in. "Enlighten the Envoy! Dong Zhuo's Lu Bu rebelled, Dong Zhuo was killed, and Chang'an was in chaos! Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui joined forces with 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Chang'an, and Lu Bu, Guo Yan, and Li Daobing released their suspicions of fighting the coalition army, and the two sides fought fiercely for three days, with countless casualties, and the coalition army was defeated! Guo Yan and Li Dao took advantage of the fact that Lu Bu had not yet returned to the city, closed the city gates on all sides, and Lu Bu was short of food and retreated without success. Two days after LΓΌ Bu withdrew, Guo Yan and Li Dao turned against each other and fought against each other. β
The distorted history made Xie Chengbin stunned, and before Xie Chengbin could come back to his senses, the third herald ran in. "Enlighten the Envoy! Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, sent a messenger to come, saying that he was willing to exchange 200,000 stone grain for the official seal of the Taishou of Dongjun, and asked the envoy to decide! β
"Pass on my order, immediately let the Tibetan tyrant lead his troops into the East County to serve as the Taishou, you need to be ready to fight at any time! Well...... Chang'an fine work is rewarded with 50 taels of silver per person. Xie Chengbin replied after a moment's thought. Not only can it weaken Cao Cao Zhan, but it can also enhance its own strength, and the population of each county is saturated and needs to be transferred, and more importantly, it can reward the Tibetan tyrant, why not kill four birds with one stone? The idea of taking refuge in Sun Jian just now came to mind, and at this time I don't know where to go.
The three heralds responded in unison with their fists, turned around and left, and before they walked out of the door, Tai Shici, who was full of excitement, ran in and saluted Xie Chengbin with his fists. "Brother Zibin! A certain party learned from the mouth of the pawn that Gong Jing of Qingzhou Thorn History was killed by him, and now the position of Qingzhou Thorn History is temporarily ownerless, this is a God-given opportunity, why don't I take the opportunity to take it? β
"Hmmm! Ci's words are reasonable, it should be so, but the sailors and iron cavalry are not here, if it will take some time to send people to summon them, it is better for Ci to take the foolish brother's cronies (fifty cavalry) to Linjiang to see if he can find the official seal of the assassin, and then the foolish brother will send Gan Ning sailor to Le'an country to respond. Xie Chengbin didn't show much excitement about this matter, the higher the official, the greater the pressure, a Jinan Taishou tossed Xie Chengbin dizzy, not to mention a thorn history. To put it nicely, Xie Chengbin is not suitable to be an official, and to put it ugly, Xie Chengbin does not have that ability, but if he does not have the strength in the era of war, he will be annexed sooner or later, so Xie Chengbin has to climb up.
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists in response, took the token and turned to leave. Xie Chengbin stood up, yawned, stretched, crackled his bones, and walked towards the school grounds.
Since the surrender of nearly one million yellow turbans, the number of willing to join the army is more than 90,000, excluding those who are thin and small, and there are still more than 20,000 left. It's not that Xie Chengbin doesn't want to recruit more, it's too expensive to pay! For example, as long as the people are not starved for a long time, they can be stabilized, even if they are hungry, and there is no need to worry about whether they are malnourished, but the soldiers must be fed, otherwise they will not have the strength to train or fight. At present, including the wounded soldiers, there are almost 70,000 troops in the whole of Jinan, and unless Xie Chengbin does not pay taxes to the imperial court, he will definitely not be able to support this economic situation now.
There is a marathon run in the school field, more than 20,000 recruits are running around the circle, everyone is sweating profusely, running fast has meat to eat, running slow has no reward, and if you can't run, you will be punished, it's as simple as that. To Xie Chengbin's surprise, these recruits have a very good physique, and they are generally faster than those soldiers in Jinan! Because there is no moisture on the ground, the entire school field is covered with smoke and dust, making it like a galloping horse, it seems that the greening needs to be improved! When he came to Dianjiangtai, Dian Wei was faithfully performing the supervision task here, and when he saw Xie Chengbin coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Knock, knock, knock......" The rhythm of the drum beat almost once a 5 seconds, and the recruits in the audience rushed to their positions when they heard the sound of shouting, coming to the left and going to the right, although there was no collision, but the scene was very chaotic. The chaos lasted for almost four minutes before it fell silent, by which time the drumming had stopped, and although the smoke and dust had not yet cleared, it was silent, which was completely different from the chaotic scene just now.
It was only a few days to train this result, Xie Chengbin was still very satisfied, and he didn't know how good those Danyang soldiers were. Originally, Xie Chengbin came here to move around, and by the way, he explained that Dian Wei Dai Tai Shi Ci stayed here to garrison, and after seeing these recruits, he couldn't help but want to take them out to see how their combat strength was. Originally, they were still worried about their equipment, but it happened that the Tibetan Ba had captured a lot of armor weapons that could be equipped. If you want to do it, you can do it, explain a few words to Dian Wei, order someone to bring your own mount, and run west with a large group of recruits.
That night, the heralds arrived at Dong'e and conveyed Xie Chengbin's order to the Tibetan tyrant, who did not hesitate to order a march to the southwest. At this moment, the scouts came to report that a troop of about 15,000 people had arrived from the direction of Dongping, under the banner of Cao, and was expected to arrive in Dong'e in an hour (two hours)! Zhang Fei and Gan Ning have not made meritorious contributions since they came to Dong'e, and they were overjoyed when they heard the words.
Zhang Fei threatened to kill him back, Gan Ning was also eager to try, the Tibetan tyrant stopped him with no name, Zhang Fei did not comply, Gan Ning said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, and the three of them broke up unhappily. Zangba knew that the two were going to send troops without authorization but couldn't stop them, so he was angry and helpless, so he had to send someone to inform Xie Chengbin. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Gong quietly left Dong'e with his cronies.
Cao's army stopped at 20 miles from Dong'e and set up camp to rest. When Cao's army finished setting up camp, suddenly lightning and thunder and rain began, and soon it turned into a heavy downpour, many torches were extinguished, and the originally brightly lit camp suddenly became much darker. Due to the rainy day, the temperature was a little cool but not cold, which made people feel very comfortable, and the soldiers on the six watchtowers of the Cao army yawned repeatedly, the rain was too heavy, and the visibility was extremely limited.
Dozens of black shadows climbed over the guardrail of the military village, vigilantly staring at the surrounding environment, seeing that there was no one around, they quietly touched towards the watchtower. When dozens of people bent down and came to the watchtower, a group of Cao army patrols walked towards this side, and dozens of people hurriedly lay down and merged with the earth. The patrol soldiers were getting closer and closer, and even the sound of footsteps splashing in the water could be faintly heard, dozens of people held their breath, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and their hearts beat violently! If there is a lightning bolt at this time, it will definitely be revealed!
Fortunately, the sky was beautiful, there was no lightning at the critical moment, and the patrols of the Cao army passed by, and dozens of people were not seen. When the patrol was far away, dozens of people divided into six squads and climbed up to the watchtower. The Cao Jun sentries on the watchtower were either dozing off or looking ahead, not noticing behind them at all, and they were all murdered!
The door of Cao Junzhai was opened, and a large number of Xie Jun rushed in, and as soon as so many people swarmed up, it was inevitable that they would be seen by Cao Jun's patrols, so the patrols began to shout. Now that Xie Jun has also been released, Zhang Fei led the iron cavalry to rush towards the patrol! More than a dozen patrolmen were like praying mantis blocking the car, and they were instantly crushed into meatloaf!
