Chapter 22 Yingchuan Academy
Cao Cao heard Xu Jing say that Xie Chengbin was a talented Wang Zuozhi, and he wanted to take time to go to Jinan to recruit Xie Chengbin, but he didn't expect the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the matter was delayed. At this time, seeing that the person who came was really Xie Chengbin, he was immediately excited, and hurriedly dismounted and walked in front of Xie Chengbin, holding Xie Chengbin's hand tightly with both hands. "After a long time, Zibin is okay? I don't know why Zibin is here? ”
"Thank you Brother Meng De for your concern, you are safe and sound! I wanted to go to Yangzhai to visit my old friend, but I met a yellow turban thief and was chased here, thanks to Brother Meng De's help! Hehe! Xie Chengbin's hands were held by Cao Cao, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to hold his fists, so he could only smile.
Around three o'clock in the morning, at such a late hour, the officers and soldiers who had been tired all day in the Changshe did not feel sleepy, because they were surrounded by 100,000 Yellow Turban troops! The Yellow Turban Army was also tired all day, and had already set up camp to rest, and did not attack. The long society was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, and it was three layers inside and three layers outside, and not a single ant could get through.
A simple house in the Changsha is brightly lit, and more than a dozen people are discussing the military situation here. One of the men dressed as a strategist stepped forward, his face not very good-looking, and he gestured at the man dressed as a general. "General, the wall of this long shrine is very low, we should break through before dawn, otherwise it will be unimaginable once dawn!"
The man dressed as a general nodded slowly when he heard this, indicating that his words were reasonable. At this time, a person dressed as a military general hugged his fist at the person dressed as a general, and his face was full of excitement, and his face was full of death. "General! In yesterday's battle, our army suffered heavy casualties, and it is difficult to break through to the sky, so it is better to lead the old, weak, sick and disabled people to the south gate to kill by the last general, attracting the main force of the thief army, and then the general will lead the elite soldiers to break through to the north! ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, the general laid his hands on him. "Don't be impatient, the general just went up to the city wall to take a look, and learned that the thief army camped according to the grass, which is a taboo for soldiers, plus with the help of the south wind, you can use fire to attack! Herald! Let the soldiers each bundle a handful of grass, ambush next to the thief village, and light the fire together with three fires! ”
"Whoa!" All the people dressed as generals responded with their fists in unison, and then turned around and walked out. The generals led their troops to the Yellow Turban Camp on the east, west, and north sides of the camp and quietly touched it, only to see that the soldiers on the camp and the Wangwang Tower were all dozing. The sergeants all placed the weeds they were carrying, and sent someone back to report that they were ready!
Three piles of grass stacks one person high had already been placed on the three walls of Changshe City, and at this time, the grass piles on the three walls were lit together, and soon a raging fire broke out! The sergeants 500 meters away from the city wall saw the signal and lit the weeds in their location one after another, and for a time they bloomed everywhere and caught fire everywhere!
Because it was a south wind, the effect of the fire attack on the east and west sides was not obvious, but it was still possible to block the Yellow Turban Army's troops. It's amazing to the north! The fire spread through the guardrail to the north, and the Yellow Turban sentries everywhere began to shout when they heard the situation, and many Yellow Turban soldiers ran out in a panic to extinguish the fire. A few soldiers who had slept more seriously were woken up in the tent, screaming and running around all over the tent, which looked quite scary.
With the wind comes not only the fire, but also the officers and soldiers! When the officers and soldiers came to the Yellow Turban barracks in the north, they all rushed forward with shouts, and as long as the clothes were different, they would be killed! In addition to being killed during the resistance, some were killed while fighting fires, and some were even killed while sleeping. For a time, the officers and soldiers were like bamboos, and no one could stop them!
Many of the Yellow Turbans fled to the north, and countless died as a result of the stampede. The Yellow Turban Army from the east, south, and west came to support, but they squeezed around with the deserters, and the scene was very chaotic, and individual deserters even swung their knives at their companions! The two immediately fought, and the scene immediately got out of control.
Seeing that the general situation was gone, the Yellow Turban general led the remnants to flee in a hurry to the north and went to Yizhou to turn to Zhang Jiao. Who knew that after only a few steps, there were officers and soldiers from the north! The panicked Yellow Turban Army was so frightened by this force that everyone was in danger and had no intention of fighting. Rather than flanking from the left and right, it was better to risk a surprise attack to the north, so the Yellow Turban Army ran into these officers and soldiers.
There are many more Yellow Turban soldiers and horses than these newly arrived officers and soldiers, but their combat strength is far inferior to these officers and soldiers. Because yesterday the battle lasted all day, I didn't have much rest and was attacked again, and now I am really tired, everyone is soft-handed and soft-footed, and there is not much body. Even the Yellow Turban Army, which has no will to fight and no body, has to assault others, which is already very modest to describe as miserable.
Xie Chengbin himself did not participate in the war, and the personal guards did not go up to help Cao Cao, but if he stood by and watched, it would be a little unreasonable, and only Ding Jie was sent alone. In fact, Xie Chengbin was originally wondering whether to take the opportunity to kill Cao Cao, and in this way, history has definitely changed one hundred and eighty degrees! But people have just helped themselves, and if Cao Cao is killed in such a situation, if he can't recruit talents in the future, it is estimated that even his subordinates will look down on him!
At this time, the battle was over, and Cao Cao's men were disturbing the battlefield (disposing of corpses and counting captured supplies). Cao Cao and Ding Jie rode their horses and ran over. "Zibin, Zibin, I really envy Zibin for having such a fierce general! The two generals did not lose the slightest in the single manpower battle, killing one of them, and the other scared away. ”
For Cao Cao's praise, Ding Jie's face did not change in the slightest, and silently drove the horse behind Xie Chengbin. Seeing that Cao Cao was splashed with cold water, and the atmosphere was not right, Xie Chengbin hurried to the rescue. "That...... Brother Meng De, now that the thieves have retreated, do you want to take advantage of the victory to pursue them? ”
Cao Cao was also angry, just stunned for a moment and then smiled, and didn't care. "Huh! Take a certain person to meet the general Huangfu and then go after the Yellow Turban thief. ”
The Yellow Turban generals had fled, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers had surrendered, and the fighting had largely subsided. When Cao Cao saw Huangfu Song and offered the enemy general, Huangfu Song laughed and praised Cao Cao. "Haha! The Captain is really young and promising! This is Zhang Bao's level, and it should be a great achievement! After the general returns to the imperial court, he will ask for credit for the captain of the cavalry! ”
"The general has an overreputation, this merit is not a manipulation, but the merit of Jinan Taishou Xie Cheng!" Cao Cao sought truth from facts and returned the credit to Xie Chengbin. With Cao Cao's words, Xie Chengbin, who was standing behind Cao Cao, had no choice but to stand up and clench his fists at Huangfu Song. "I've seen the general!"
"General Qiyu! More than 1,000 horses came outside, claiming to be reinforcements sent by General Kitakaro, please decide! Huangfu Song was about to say something, when a soldier ran in outside. Hearing this, Huangfu Song turned his gaze to the soldier and waved his hand. "Bring him in!"
The soldier clenched his fists in response, turned and left. Huangfu Song waved his hand and motioned for Cao Cao and Xie Chengbin to stand aside. After a while, I saw two people walking in, it was Liu Bei and Guan Yu! Liu Bei's expression was stern, and he hugged his fists and saluted. "The grass people are ordered by General Beizhong Lang to come to help in the war!"
"Yingchuan's rest of the party is no longer to worry about, Zhang Bao was executed, Zhang Liang fled north, he must vote for Guangzong to rely on Zhang Jiao, and Xuande can help him in the starry night!" Huangfu Song stroked his beard, and as soon as he finished speaking, a herald ran in. "General Qiyu! The Great General was killed in the Imperial Palace! ”
"What!" Huangfu Song was taken aback when he heard this, and stood up. Cao Cao and Xie Chengbin looked at each other in disbelief.
After coming out of the Huangfu Song Military Council, Cao Cao said to Xie Chengbin that he wanted to solicit, but Xie Chengbin politely refused. encountered a wall, Cao Cao was not angry, and said a lot of words about the night, and said something like taking care of Xie Chengbin when he said goodbye. To be honest, Xie Chengbin is indeed a little reluctant.
Due to the exhaustion of the whole day, Xie Chengbin returned to the inn and fell asleep, sleeping from morning to about two o'clock in the afternoon. Simply freshen up, eat something and go straight to Yangzhai.
By the time it got dark, the Yellow Turban Army had withdrawn and was reoccupied by officers and soldiers. There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the officers and soldiers were busy carrying away the corpses of the people, and some of the people were crying and crying at the corpses that had fallen to the ground, and the scene was very bleak!
First go to the inn (tavern) to fill your stomach and set a room, after dinner, you began to inquire about Guo Jia's news from door to door, and every passer-by in the streets and alleys must ask politely, whether men, women and children have asked all over again, or there is no news of Guo Jia. From about six o'clock in the evening to about ten o'clock in the evening, no one knew Guo Jia, and there were fewer and fewer passers-by in the streets and alleys, so Xie Chengbin could only give up. Let's go back to the inn and rest until tomorrow.
"Little friend, slow down!" When he returned to the inn, he saw a young man walking out of the inn with a bottle of wine, ready to get on the horse, Xie Chengbin stepped forward and hugged his fists. When the young man saw that Xie Chengbin had so many people, he was not afraid, and returned the salute. "I don't know what a strong man does?"
"I want to inquire about someone, this person's surname is Guo Mingjia, I don't know if Xiaoyou knows this person?" Although he searched all night, Xie Chengbin was always the same polite. When the young man heard Guo Jia, he was obviously stunned. "Uh...... Guo Jia, I have heard a little, there is a place called 'Yingchuan Academy' more than 20 miles southeast of the city, where you can find Guo Jia! Hehehe! It's not too early, say goodbye! ”
Looking at the young man who rode away, Xie Chengbin suddenly remembered a person in his mind, his name was Sima Wei! Xie Chengbin doesn't know much about Sima Wei, he seems to be a well-known hermit, and he doesn't know if he can be invited.
The next day, Xie Chengbin bought a lot of gifts and came to Yingchuan Academy, which was completely different from Xie Chengbin's imagination! Don't say anything grandiose; Don't say anything majestic stone lions; Not to mention any heavily guarded guards; Not even decent floor tiles! Such a academy is too shabby!
I stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it took a long time for a young man to open the door, and I didn't know if it was a scholar or a student. The young man was very cultivated and made a gesture at Xie Chengbin. "I don't know why a strong man came to the academy?"
