Chapter 297: What About Your Promise
Ding Fei's decision to summon heavy troops to reinforce Jieting was considered to have completely dispelled Yang Wan's suspicions about him, but then he had to face a problem that made him even more headache.
He had promised before that if the soldiers under his command could break through the camp of Yunshan, each of them would be rewarded with a hundred pieces of cloth!
One hundred horses!
He had 3,000 men under his command, and that was 300,000 horses! Not to mention Ding Fei, Ma Chao couldn't get so many rewards at one time, and he couldn't find these things after searching Ji County one by one.
Ding Fei didn't expect that he would have a chance to break the camp before.
He originally thought that Yunshan was known for defending the city, and these soldiers under his command who had nothing to do were just eggs hitting stones, and they might even have to rely on Pang De to respond to the counterattack.
Unexpectedly, the cunning Yun Shan actually let go of his camp directly, and the three thousand soldiers under his command took the enemy's camp with zero damage, and the question of the reward was immediately placed in front of Ding Fei.
"General, we said that the reward ......"
Several of Ding Fei's fellow villagers cheekily walked up to Ding Fei and reminded him of this matter embarrassedly, Ding Fei said here:
"There is no fight at all this time, it is obvious that the thieves took the initiative to retreat, where else can I ask for any reward?"
"The general's words are biased! Our sons and daughters are all fighting to kill the enemy for rewards, and Yun Shan was also forced to retreat when he saw that I waited for my sons to be brave, otherwise why would he use this method of attacking the heart?
Isn't it because I waited for my subordinates to be good at fighting, which made Yunshan and the others quite afraid, so I used the method of co-opting? ”
Ding Fei felt his temples jump and jump, and he had to sigh dissatisfiedly:
"Forget about the persecution of those people, you are all my old subordinates, why do you still persecute me so much?
As long as I repel Yunshan Ma Chao, there will definitely be a heavy reward, and when the time comes, I won't take a penny, and I will give it all to you! ”
Others may have a little credibility when they say that they don't take a penny for rewards, but Ding Fei says that they don't take a penny, and no one in his old department really believes it.
If Ding Fei could restrain his greed, he would have been promoted like Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others, and he would not have been mixed with the military captain when Cao Cao raised his army.
But of course, he can't say that, and his subordinates can only say dejectedly:
"We naturally trust the general, but those Guan Zhong Erlang have been following the general for a shallow time before, and they don't know the general's temperament, if these rewards can't be honored, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and they will cause trouble again!"
Where did Ding Fei find 300,000 pieces of cloth, but he could only nod dejectedly, indicating that he would raise it first.
When Pang De and Yang Wan heard that Ding Fei had promised such an outrageous reward, they were all frightened.
In this era of extremely low productivity, even coarse cloth is not something that can be woven casually, 300,000 pieces of cloth is nothing in the Central Plains, it is really a great wealth in a ghost place like Liangzhou, Ma Chao rewarded Yang Wan and Agui before and let them support him in the battle, that is, he took out 400,000 horses, which is still the inventory that was scavenged by opening the treasury of Ji County.
Now Ding Fei's subordinates can get so many rewards without fighting at all, and no one can say it.
"It's not that these cloths are nothing, but Wenhou, have you ever thought about it, if we help you make up these cloths, what should our subordinates think?
We are all men of war, so what if our men ask us for a reward? ”
Ding Fei was silent, this time the matter was too evil, and he couldn't force Pang De and Yang Wan to wipe his ass.
Damn Yunshan, you're trying to force me to death.
In desperation, Ding Fei could only pretend that nothing had happened before.
Of course, his soldiers are unwilling to force us to fight when they say that the military order is like a mountain, and after the battle, you find all kinds of reasons to refuse to honor the reward, and let you say good and bad things, you really don't take us who work hard in your eyes, don't you?
They were already quite panicked before, worried that they would not be able to return to their hometown, and now Ding Fei refused to honor the reward, after learning about Ding Fei's previous greed, these soldiers were even more angry, and they all gathered in front of Ding Fei's camp and made a big noise.
Pang De was very helpless, and it was not easy to come forward in person, so he had to order Yang Wan to lead his men to relieve the siege.
But Yang Wan is not stupid, as a tribal leader known for his fairness, he also knows that Ding Fei is really underbeaten this time.
He pretended to lead a group of people to maintain order, but in fact ordered his subordinates not to make noise, not to reason with these excited soldiers.
Ding Fei's subordinates saw that this group of barbarians were so reasonable, and they made up their minds to fight Ding Fei to the end. The crowd shouted and beat him, and all the soldiers roared in unison and rushed into the camp together.
Ding Fei's old troops pretended to resist for a while and were scattered together, and in the face of a group of vicious soldiers, Ding Fei could only hug his head and hide in Pound's camp to ask for help.
Pang De was forced to be helpless, knowing that if this continued, there would be a big mess, so he could only come forward in person in frustration, dragged Ding Fei in front of everyone, and kicked him hard, saying that Ding Fei was talking nonsense before, and he really couldn't get so many rewards.
But it's already happened, and Pound won't sit idly by. He promised with his reputation that he would exchange some cattle and horses for rewards, but after repelling Yunshan, if the soldiers of the Guanzhong Army showed great courage in the subsequent battles, the rewards would also be accumulated, at least not to cause too much damage to everyone.
Pound's reputation in the army is not bad, and the soldiers who made trouble were just here to fight for a breath, and they also knew that they were not involved in the battle, and they dispersed after having Pound's promise.
Although Ding Fei was allowed to pass the test this time, Pang De, who had been leading the troops for many years, also knew that after this incident, these Guanzhong generals were completely untrustworthy, and if they wanted to repel Yunshan in the future, they had to rely on the elite Liangzhou soldiers under their own command.
Pang De kept writing to Ma Dai, asking Ma Dai to reinforce him with at least 10,000 horses, otherwise the battle with Yunshan would be very bad.
Perhaps to confirm what Pang De said, two days later, Yunshan really led Cao's army to make a comeback.
This time, Yun Shan changed his previous forbearance and temptation, and on the first day of arriving at the street pavilion, Yun Shan personally led the army to attack Pang De's camp at the foot of the mountain.
"The sons and daughters of Guanzhong, Ben Yunshan, come to pick you up and wait for you to go home, and if you don't get up with me, when will you wait!"
Dressed in heavy armor and holding a steel sword, Yunshan is like a mighty and unyielding statue.
With his order, the soldiers of the Cao army set out in unison, they all held wooden shields, held steel knives, and slowly moved forward in a dull and resolute manner.
What these cavalrymen who come and go like the wind is best at using the speed advantage of their horses to shuttle back and forth with the enemy on a wide battlefield, and it is not their forte to go head-to-head with these strong enemies.
Although the soldiers in Guanzhong lacked combat experience, after repeated mobilization, they were already ready to fight to the death with the enemy.
As soon as the battle began, these proud soldiers of Liangzhou were already completely at a disadvantage, and the soldiers under the command of Yunshan were not afraid of death, constantly attacking the camp of the Liangzhou army, and the large camp carefully built by Pang De was like a small boat in the storm, and almost the first charge was completely taken.
Pang Dewan was helpless, so he could only hurry into his reserves, and he and Yang Wan personally rushed to the front line with their broadswords and fought to the death with the soldiers under Yunshan's command, which barely blocked Yunshan's attack.
Seeing the strength of the Guanzhong Army, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were all frightened, and the soldiers under the command of Taoist Ding Fei rejoiced, seeing that Yunshan had the upper hand, they each had glory and glory, and even began to pray to the sky that Yunshan could break the Jieting defense line as soon as possible and take them back to Guanzhong.
Pound knew that he would definitely lose if he continued to fight like this, so he went crazy and wrote letters again and again, ordering the fast horse to keep transmitting the news of distress to the rear.
Ma Dai also knew that Pang De was in a very difficult situation now, but Ma Chao had already led the army to leave, and Agui also led the troops back because his hometown was attacked.
Ma Dai can now call on less than 10,000 reserves, more than 10,000 people......
You can't send it all to Pound, can you?
Fortunately, at this critical juncture, Yang Ang, a general under Zhang Lu, finally led reinforcements to Ji County.
Yang Ang is Zhang Lu's confidant and the brother of Shi Yangfu, the governor of Liangzhou, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard that Ma Dai's soldiers were now overstretched.
"What's so hard about that? Although you sent troops to save Lingming, the more than 10,000 ghost pawns under my command are carefully selected by Shijun, and those who can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers abound, I have opened the altar and attacked Longshan with five thunders, if Yunshan does not retreat, he will naturally die under the thunder! ”
Ma Dai: ......
Although he didn't believe in this set at all, Ma Dai also knew that Zhang Lu's five buckets of rice were very popular in this area, and Yang Ang did bring more than 10,000 people, so he didn't dare to say that there was a big war, and it shouldn't be a big problem to maintain local order anyway.
He could only pretend to nod yes and say yes, and said happily:
"To be rescued by Yang Sai Wine is to get the number of days, which is my honor to wait.
When Yunshan is repulsed, my brother must personally go to Hanzhong to thank Shijun, and he is also willing to donate five buckets of rice to worship under Shijun as a disciple! ”
Yang Ang was also quite proud in his heart.
Zhang Lu was attacked by Cao Zhi and Zhang Yun before, and once had the idea of surrendering, but Zhang Lu's younger brothers thought that why surrender, it was better to fight with the enemy first.
But they also knew that their war was not this material, and it would be great if they could use Ma Chao's power to repel the enemy outside of Hanzhong.
So as soon as Ma Chao called for help, Zhang Lu couldn't wait to provide a lot of assistance, Yang Ang saw that Ma Chao's strength was actually very weak, and this time he moved the idea of directly annexing Ma Chao.
I hope that Ma Chao and Yunshan will fight, and Ma Chao's strong soldiers can be brought under his command, who will dare to attack my Hanzhong in the future?
