Chapter 7: Martial Virtue
"Okay, you Zhao Yun, don't talk about martial arts!" Cao Zhen looked at the headless corpses on the ground, plus the sergeant who had not slept all night, and was horrified, and immediately asked Guo Huai, "How many people and horses did we break last night?" How much exactly? ”
"Grand Governor, two... Two or three thousand. Guo Huai was furious when he saw Cao Zhen when he saw it, and he didn't dare to say that there were about 3,500 people in one night.
"I thought Zhao Yun was a hero, but I didn't expect that I would make such a conspiracy and trick, I have to split this grandson!" Cao Zhen was furious. I wanted to raise a large army to attack the city immediately, but the one-night raid actually caused him to lose nearly one-tenth of his soldiers and horses, and he was a little frightened, and he didn't know when there would be another wave of raids.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun's side was much more calm, last night's raid, 700 people went, 15 people were lost, and the sound of horseshoe bells and whistles at night made the Wei army not know how many people were coming, and it also greatly damaged the morale of the Wei army.
"General Zhao, Cao's army has retreated five miles!" A soldier at the head of the city reported.
Zhao Yun laughed, "I can't imagine that Cao Zhen is still afraid." All the soldiers burst into laughter.
"General Zhao, you can fight at this moment!" Li Xian suddenly came out of the ranks.
"Why, our army raided overnight, just rested, why fight again?" Zhao Yun asked.
"General Zhao! I can't explain it, the fighter plane is in front of me, General Zhao can send a hundred horses, another raid, I will replace General Zhao with a hundred horses, and then order Gong Tun to take a hundred horses, rotate me, so that one day of rotation, I will definitely be able to defeat him again! Li Xian said hurriedly.
"Good!" Zhao Yun immediately ordered a hundred cavalry, mounted a horse, shouted to kill and rushed away, Li Xian did not take a moment, immediately ordered the Bentun soldiers and horses, but watched from the city, General Zhao Yun was unstoppable, and a hundred cavalry broke into the formation, which was really invincible, but seeing that the Wei army was about to form a siege, he immediately withdrew. I saw that Li Xian's headquarters soldiers and horses were rotated forward, and said that Li Xian's stick wound had not completely healed, and he was in some pain, but he could still endure it. Relying on the hundred horsemen to surround themselves in the center, they calmly ran away.
In the face of the Wei army, which had not yet formed an encirclement, another round of surprise killings from the outside, unexpectedly, this side was preparing to surround up, and Li Xian's troops and horses withdrew again, and then above the city pass, Gong Jie led a tun to kill the general.
"What the fuck is this way of playing, is it over?" Cao Zhen scolded, in order to facilitate the siege of the city, he ordered the infantry army to be in front early, not only could not surround the cavalry on the opposite side, but the most important thing is that these infantry basically didn't sleep last night! In such a battle of wheels, there will definitely be a big loss.
Cao Zhen looked at it from a distance, the more irritable he became, and he couldn't wait to surround these teams of people immediately, the key is that these teams are like mosquitoes on his body, if you want to fight, he will run, the key is that you can't catch up, that's not ordinary anger.
In the afternoon, all the soldiers were happy to carry their captures back to the pass, Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Today, I don't say that I killed more than 1,000 of him, and I have never heard of this kind of tactic throughout the ages, so Cao Zhen must have jumped to his feet angrily." ”
The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, that is, Li Xian's headquarters, all of them had 100-level gains, Zhao Yun said: "Then everyone, I want to promote Han Xing to be the general of my military camp, and when there are soldiers and horses in the future, I will give him a battalion to destroy the front, what do you think." ”
The generals were naturally convinced, after all, it was not too much to be directly promoted to a captain.
"What will happen after today?" Zhao Yun asked Li Xiandao.
"The last general thinks that there is no other way, Cao Zhen should be waiting for someone, and we are also waiting for someone." Li Xian said.
Zhao Yun bowed slightly: "He should be waiting for Shangyong Mengda's soldiers and horses, it depends on whether our envoy comes back first, or whether Mengda's soldiers and horses arrive first." ”
Li Xian nodded, it is true that he is not easy to say, in fact, Meng Da will not send troops, and he will not understand the specific joints and these big bosses. In short, the whole Yizhou is a chaotic interest group, first the local scholars in Yizhou, then the Dongzhou scholars, and then the Jingzhou scholars, Meng Da did not send troops, it was not simply a letter from Li Yan.
Cao Zhen's army was delayed in Yangping Pass for ten days, and when he couldn't see Meng Da's soldiers and horses, he hurriedly retreated, and it is said that on the day of his retirement, he almost scolded Zhao Yun's whole family.
Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang held the report in his hand, his face was happy, and he turned back to the person behind him and said: "Young Chang, General Zhao fought beautifully in this battle, what do you think of your opinion." ”
"The students think that this Yangpingguan is not only a victory, but also a big victory, which should be announced to the world and boost the morale of our army." Ma Tan replied.
"Yes, what else? What do you think of Li Hanxing's use of soldiers? Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"The use of soldiers is agile and adapts measures to local conditions, and if students are here, they may not be able to fight so beautifully." Ma Tan replied.
"There are not many people who can convince you of your childhood, let me tell you, you only know one and not the other." Zhuge Liang replied slowly.
"The way of using soldiers, is the way of people, Cao Zhen's battle, the loss is lost in temperament, almost every step, have fallen into the trap just designed, in the game and do not know the situation, how is the temperament, how is the natural way of the army, such as Guan Zhang two generals, invasion is like fire, but also defeated in the temperament, you have to remember, stubborn self-use, is a taboo in soldiers!" Zhuge Liang turned around and said slowly.
"Follow the Prime Minister's teachings." Ma Tan replied.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "Then sell General Zhao a favor, after all, they are all ministers of the auxiliary ministers, and Li Xian is promoted to captain, and those who have military merits in his subordinates are all promoted to the third level." You go to Shangshutai and look for Guo Youzhi's opinion. ”
"Yes!" Ma Tan received the order and went to Shangshutai.
Let's say that Yangping Guan Zi Cao Zhen couldn't wait for the mediocre Meng Da to send troops, so he retreated. Zhao Yun also received an order from the general at this time, leaving Zhang Ning to lead the army to garrison Yangping Pass, and he led a hundred horsemen to Chengdu to resume his life.
Three days later, inside the city of Chengdu.
"On the order of the prime minister, General Li Xian blocked the enemy at Yangping Pass, made the enemy move forward inch, frustrated his troops, and Terbium was promoted to lieutenant colonel and lieutenant, taking charge of 2,000 troops, and the reward was as before."
"Thank you for your kindness." Li Xian thanked him.
After Li Xian returned from Yangping Pass, he heard that he was going to be promoted to lieutenant, and he was overjoyed, so he turned back to his cousin and parents to tell him about it.
Zhao Yun is also arrogant, and invested in the purchase of a courtyard on the west side of Chengdu for Li Xianji's family to live, to the original Li Xian's father, it seems that he is not so adaptable, after all, he works in the field all the year round, and he can stand this kind of city life, he feels panicked, and from time to time he has to look at his original two and a half acres of thin field.
Because this courtyard is in the city, it is naturally closer to the Zhao Mansion, Li Xian did not look like a martial artist from the beginning, and slowly began to even improve a little, he himself knew that some muscles began to appear in his arms, if he insisted on it for a year, not to mention archery, he was afraid that he would even have to learn gunnery.
In this way, after persisting for more than a year, Li Xian's father gradually got used to the habits of the city, and occasionally talked about calligraphy and poetry with his neighbors in the morning.
"It's strange, Lao Tzu has never read a few books in his life, they don't say that you write Di Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, I taught Di, and I want me to go to the poetry meeting with their old men tomorrow, and I want my own life, where will I be." Li Xian's father, who spoke with a Jingzhou accent, complained at home. But it caused the family to laugh.
"Old birthday star, today is your birthday, let's not embarrass you, your son will come back on duty in a while, but I want him to write a song for you!" A few elderly people in the hall who look like scholars should be friends made by Li Xian's father in the past few days, quite a bit of Wei and Jin celebrities.
"That's for sure, my baby, very clever, don't look at him sometimes rough, and there is no ambiguity when it is critical." The old man pinched his beard and smiled.
Not long after, Li Xian came back from duty and saw a table of wine and food, knowing that it was made by his mother, he had always been reluctant to hire people, so he had to do such things by himself, and he was also distressed at the moment, and there was nothing to say. Then he arched his hand and said, "Little nephew, meet your uncles!" ”
"Old Li, what a unicorn!" An old man in the hall attended.
"The old man laughed, this is the dog." The person in the hall spoke, it was Li Xian's father, Li Jun.
The old man continued: "I have heard for a long time that Li Gongzi is both civil and military, and today is Lingzun's birthday, can there be a poem to help Yaxing?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Why don't you have a song. And all the people were in an uproar.
Li Xian also had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "Uncles, I just came back from duty, and allow me to use some wine and food, can I have fun with you again?" ”
"Yes, yes, Li Gongzi, please take a seat."
After Li Xian sat down, he drank a little thin wine, and then arched his hand and said: "Dad, today is your birthday, and the child is here to celebrate your birthday!" ”
Li Jun pinched his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, it's good, but there are poems?" ”
"That's natural, uncles, the little nephew will be ugly."
Everyone clapped their hands in unison, and was quiet for a while, waiting for Li Xian's poems.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are blown down like rain, and the BMW carved cars are full of fragrance." Li Xian said slowly, and then the cup in his hand did not stop, and continued, "The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night." ”
"Good! It's a lively scene! After listening to Shangque, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
How do you know that Li Xian was unhurried, and slowly spit out the lower rhyme: "Moth snow willow golden wisp." The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and looked back at dusk~" Li Xian deliberately dragged out the syllable, and everyone was waiting for the last sentence, so Li Xian slowly spit it out, "That person is in the lamplight." ”
"The young boy is so poetic, it is really rare in the world." The crowd shouted in unison.
"I thought that Wei Wu's whip had reached the top, and the poetry and talent of the young prince we see today are no less than Cao Zijian's back then."
Li Jun was overjoyed: "You are too much love, your own dog is a few pounds and a few taels, and there are still some points." ”
"Brother Jun, don't bully honest people, today's banquet has this article, it is enough to be famous in history." The man said, "Today, I also asked the young son Mobao to keep it for future use." ”
"Go, go to the pen, ink, paper, inkstone." Li Jun looked at Li Xiandao.
Li Xian took it by himself, and under the earnest gaze of everyone, he wrote down the Qingyu case, Yuan Xi.
"Young boy, who is this calligrapher? Why is it so extravagant? The uncles asked curiously.
Li Xian was stunned for a while, and now he made up a series of nonsense: "This was taught by a gentleman surnamed Zhao in the early years, and he was named Thin Jinti." "How did they know that this Li Xian completely relied on his own practice of calligraphy for a few years in later generations, but it was purely for his own entertainment, learning the thin gold body of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
"The little nephew only practices the likeness, not as godly as Mr." Li Xian replied hurriedly.
"Resemblance? If you say that this teacher is more expressive than you, it seems that he can start a sect, and the charm of this calligraphy must be a rich and jade person, which is indescribably expensive. The old gentleman said.
Immediately after that, the old gentleman was suspicious, and then he was relieved again: "You are making a name for General Zhao!" If General Zhao really has this kind of calligraphy to be passed on to future generations, it will really be famous in history. ”
…….
General Zhao's mansion.
"Ahh Zhao Yun sneezed, "Who is scolding me?" ”
"The general is the minister of the auxiliary, how can anyone dare to attack at will." The servant replied, "Now that Chengdu has spread the word, it is said that you are a master of calligraphy." ”
"What?" Zhao Yun was stunned.
