Chapter 319 Life for life, I'm worth it
Chen Wu's slogan was shouted loudly, and then it was gone.
There were more than a hundred cavalrymen around them, and if they wanted to trap Wen Chou and them here, waiting for reinforcements from the rear to arrive, it was naturally not a big problem.
But it was pitch black, and the cavalry rushed up the mountain, what is the difference between this and sending it to death.
In fact, Chen Wu's drink, of course, did not expect to be able to calm the field, it was nothing more than Jiang Qin's sudden death, and the soldiers subconsciously began to retreat.
In addition, their number is too small, and they do have a desire to retreat.
The problem is, Yan Liangwen is ugly in front of him, once they are taken, how much credit is put aside, Shouchun and the most difficult An Feng will be won in one fell swoop, this is a revolutionary victory for Jiangdong, no matter what, they can't be let go like this.
Therefore, Chen Wu's bigger idea is to force the opponent's hole cards to be revealed, whether it is a small number of sharpshooters hidden or a huge number of ambushes.
"Kill!"
Chen Wu really got his wish, and on the hill, three horses swooped down, followed by dozens of men with torches, but dressed in very different clothes, and even the weapons in their hands were different.
What the hell, bandits?
There weren't many people who appeared, but the sound of fighting on the mountains was so loud that it sounded like there were thousands of people.
"You guys." After seeing the person clearly, Yan Liangwen and Chou all looked surprised.
The two of them, who already had the idea of dying, felt that they were going to confess here today, and the life-saving arrows that turned around made their hope of extinguishing be ignited again.
To have such a divine shot, it is either Wen Hou or Zilong, and the vanguard army led by them must have rushed here.
One is in Sizhou and the other is in Pengcheng, this kind of thing is actually too fantasy and unrealistic, but at this juncture, apart from them, the two of them really can't think of anyone else.
Unexpectedly, it was Cao Xing, Song Xian and Cheng Lian who were let go by Zhang Liao under Anfeng City.
Memories flooded in.
Yao remembers that when Zhang Liao let the three of them go, he also thought about asking Lu Bu for the crime, after all, these three can be regarded as collaborating with the enemy.
Privately releasing this kind of serious crime, in terms of military law, can give Zhang Liao justice.
Later, it was the old yin who gave the idea, and said that he had been beheaded on the surface, and explained it to Lu Bu and Lin Mo in private, so that he would have an explanation for the three armies, and would not put Lu Bu in a dilemma.
The old yin goods are absolutely sure of this consideration, first of all, their crime of collaborating with the enemy has already been published, and even if they go to other princes, no one usually dares to take them in.
Moreover, Zhang Liao let them go privately, if they appeared on the battlefield again, it would be obvious that Zhang Liao would be pitted, and I don't think they would be so unkind.
Therefore, according to the guess of the old yin, their best result is only to annihilate into the world and finally become an ordinary person.
After all, Zhang Liao's private release of the death offender will not be exposed.
It's just that what Yan Liangwen didn't expect was that they were actually here, and they fell into the grass.
However, it was such a coincidence, why did it happen to come to their hill?
Yan Liang suddenly remembered the person who sent the letter before, why he obviously helped him but didn't dare to reveal his identity, and thought it was Jiangdong's tired army's plan.
Now it was clear to him that they were the messengers.
The original matter, the grievances and grievances are inextricably linked, who can say it clearly, they don't dare to reveal their identities, and they are also afraid of causing trouble to Zhang Liao.
"As long as we give the order to release the arrows, you will become hedgehogs, and now you don't do anything, you just don't want to hurt them."
Cao Xuan glanced at Yan Liang and Wen Chou on the ground, frowned, and said, "Leave here quickly, and leave the rest to us." ”
Yan Liangwen's ugly mind was a little messy, and he didn't seem to fully react until Song Xian urged again: "Withdraw quickly!" ”
The two of them got on the horse quickly, looked at them, and passed by by mistake.
Seeing that the two were leaving, Chen Wu unwillingly raised the spear in his hand and wanted to make a move.
Cao Xing and the three of them hurriedly blocked in front of them, and dozens of people behind them also raised all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Chen Wu didn't dare to give an order after all.
Cao Xing They are nothing, he didn't pay attention to these thirty or fifty bandits at all, what he was afraid of was that the bandits on the hill really released arrows.
Although, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for bandits to be fully armed, but since they dare to stand up with swagger, it is enough to prove that the other party has this confidence.
Jiang Qin died, they were sad, but they didn't dare to take the No. 10 Jiangdong disciples to send them to death.
In the final analysis, too much blood has been shed on the other side of Jiangdong.
"Tell Wen Hou that our brothers didn't disappoint him!" Cheng Lian, who was facing Yan Liangwen with his back, hissed and roared.
"We are waiting for you in Changfeng City!" Wen Chou replied and sped up to leave.
The two sat on the same horse, the wind was whistling, and Yan Liang sighed: "I really didn't expect that in the end, it was they who saved us." ”
"When you go back this time, you must report this matter to Master Hou, no matter what they did in the past, our brothers owe them." Wen Chou, who has always recognized his identity as a general, has never made random requests.
But this time, he made up his mind, when he went back to see Lin Mo, he must intercede for them.
They didn't just save the time in front of them, in fact, if they hadn't sent the letter before, the night attack on Dazhai that night had collapsed.
This kindness has to be repaid.
What's more, I believe that Zhang Liao will also be willing to speak.
"The brothers have no intention of being enemies with Wu Hou, they really owe them a favor, even if this is repaid today, there is no need for the two generals to fight to the death with us and lose their soldiers and horses, if we stop the army, how about the two sides retreat?
Oh yes, from now on, we will never get involved in the dispute between Wu Hou and Wen Hou. ”
The two sides are still facing each other, Jiangdong does not retreat, and they do not dare to go, for fear that Yan Liangwen will be caught up, Cao Xuan took the initiative to break the deadlock.
After saying that, I didn't forget to glance at the hill, there are more of us than you.
"Joke, you killed Gong Yi, and you still want to erase it?" At this time, Ding Feng was a stunned young man, but he was far from being the general who turned the tide for Eastern Wu and defeated Cao Wei in the Battle of Dongxing.
"If you want the jade to be burned, the fish to die and the net to be broken, we can't do anything, just ask the group of brothers on the mountain if they agree." Cheng Lian sneered, looking indifferent.
"You"
When Ding Feng was about to break out, Chen Wu grabbed him and said slowly: "But after all, you killed Gong Yi and retired from the army, I'm afraid it won't be possible, right?" ”
"And what do you want?" Cao Xuan asked.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just hope you show some sincerity, so let's go back and have an explanation, Wu Hou's temper has you also heard of some after all, if we go back in embarrassment, we won't be able to live." What Chen Wu said seems to make sense.
So, the two sides bargained under this hill.
Chen Wu meant that he hoped that they could join him, and as for Sun Ce, there was no problem if he was willing to guarantee it with his head.
Cao Xing and they were naturally unwilling, thinking about taking some gold, cloth or something to compensate, but there were no war horses, and the entire cottage was only five horses together.
After grinding his mouth for a long time, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
Cao Xuan and the other three frowned, and were shocked to realize that there were still people behind the other party, but didn't they have no cavalry.
There were not many people who came, and three or four hundred horses were added, but after this number came over, Chen Wu changed his face, "Do you really think that Jiangdong Erlang's life is so cheap?" If you want to save people, fill it with your life, and kill me! ”
After the front and rear armies converged, they would have 500 horsemen, and Chen Wu knew that they had only run for more than ten miles, and those infantry would slowly follow, if they didn't take their heads back today, how would they explain to the brothers who died in battle?
Reflecting that Chen Wu had been delaying time from beginning to end, the three of them smiled with relief, exchanged a look, and then led dozens of people behind them to hedge.
The combat power of Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and Song Xian is not weak, but the bandits who followed them are simply vulnerable, have no combat quality, and more than 20 people fell in just one charge.
Moreover, the imaginary rain of arrows did not come down, and even the shouts disappeared.
Wow, these bastards, bluff with me, huh?
After realizing that he had been tricked, Ding Feng was dumbfounded.
On the contrary, it was Cao Xing and the three of them who smiled bitterly, "Alas, I really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, I didn't look down on Zhang Yan before, and I only knew that this team was really not easy to bring when I occupied a mountain."
That's all we have, the people on the mountain don't dare to come down, they are only responsible for cheering. ”
At this point, they are also very helpless.
It's actually been a few years since the grass fell, but this team is really hard to pull.
They didn't dare to pull it, since Lin Mo became Lu Bu's son-in-law in Pengcheng, he had developed a habit that the first thing to do in every county was to clear out the surrounding mountain bandits.
Chaohu's Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo are even better, and they haven't let Zang Ba and Sun Guan clean up properly.
At first, they only thought that they were too poor, so Lin Mo's wool was all on the bandits, but later they found out that this really had nothing to do with being poor or not, Lin Mo was completely thinking about long-term peace and stability, and winning people's hearts as quickly as possible.
Therefore, even if their brothers fall into the grass, they don't dare to grow the team too much, otherwise they will definitely attract Liu Ye's suppression, I heard that Lin Mo also issued a military order here, and used this as a standard for the assessment of the county Taishou.
After tossing for a few years, it has pulled a team of two or three hundred people.
Those two or three hundred people were not willing to die for them, except for the thirty or so who followed them, the others all expressed their cowardice after hearing the news that they were going to have a head-on conflict with the regular army, and did not dare.
Okay, then it's good to serve as a cheerleader, and you can scare the Jiangdong Army after all.
It seems that their determination is still underestimated.
It's not a big problem, I rushed down the mountain today, in fact, I already have the determination to die.
In the early years, he followed Lu Bu from Guanzhong to the Central Plains, and was saved by Lu Bu several times on the battlefield, but later An Feng was confused, and Zhang Liao also gave him a way to live.
Some debts have to be repaid after all.
"In the end, let's go on the road together." Song Xian said with a smile.
"Forget it, it's a good life to earn a few more years, and after all, it's worthy of Wenhou, Wenyuan, and Uncle Zhi." Cheng Lian seems to be very open.
"If we die, we will die, and there will be no loss to anyone, but Yan Liangwen is different, they can't die, if they are all arrested by Jiangdong here, the three counties of Huainan will really not be saved."
The brothers' lives are exchanged for their brothers, and it is not a loss. ”
After Cao Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Qin's corpse on the ground, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I earned it." ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again.
This time, the two sides did not stagger, and the Jiangdong cavalry surrounded them and beat them in groups.
The three of them can be regarded as following Lu Bu from birth to death, and they have been bandits for a few years, but the blood is still there, and they fight to the death in a zigzag position.
No one thinks they will leave alive, they just want to delay a little longer.
Facing the spear like the Forest of Death, Ding Feng and Chen Wu did not take too long to wrap their bags before and after, and the three of them fell off their horses one after another.
On the verge of death, Cao Xing's hand pressed on his chest with difficulty, and the blood holes on his body were no longer known, and he glanced at Cheng Lian and Song Xian, who were no longer alive next to him, and laughed.
Perhaps, only before death can people truly see their hearts.
Cao Xuan did not regret following Lu Bu through those hard days and failing to catch up with the good days today, but ah, some things, wrong is wrong, and there is no way back when a thought is wrong.
Today, he only felt that his heart was clear, and it seemed that he had no debt to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, but he was extremely relaxed in his heart.
Cao Xuan used his last bit of strength and hissed at Haoyue in the sky: "Wen Hou! Far! Our debts have been paid in two! ”
Before Ding Feng and Chen Wu made a move, Cao Xing's body straightened up, and there was no reaction.
There is no point in whipping the corpses in anger, at most to make sure that they are all dead.
Chen Wu cut off the heads of the two of them and prepared to take them back to Sun Ce to explain.
Before he returned to the place in Zhongfu, he met Sun Ce who had caught up.
"My lord." The two hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one knee.
"What about people?" Sun Ce looked at the heads they were carrying, his expression full of anticipation.
But after learning what happened, the green tendons between the foreheads of Qi burst out.
Yan Liangwen didn't catch it, and he took a Jiang Qin in, what is the use of the heads of these three people.
"When the tiger returns to the mountain, are you still worthy of leading the troops?"
Sun Ce didn't give a good face at all, and roared: "Drag it down, the staff is forty, and you will be demoted to a centurion!" ”
"Whoa!"
encountered Yan Liangwen's surprise attack, and lost two or three thousand people, which is not to blame them, even if they are extremely tired cavalry, they are still cavalry in the end.
But at the most critical juncture, the two of them were frightened by a group of mountain bandits, and Jiangdong Erlang's face was disgraced.
No one dared to plead, and the calmest Zhou Yu felt that such a disposition was not too much.
"Lord, General Cheng sent a letter just now, Liu Ye broke through at night, although he killed nearly 2,000 enemies, but due to the lack of soldiers and horses, and the lack of cavalry, Liu Ye finally let him run away.
No, the general has already taken over Shouchun. ”
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce just sneered.
Their army has withdrawn, how can Shouchun hold it.
The problem is that Yan Liangwen is not dead, they also withdrew nearly 20,000 troops at the cost of a few hundred horsemen.
Next, what he has to face is the revenge army of the northern country, and failing to kill Yan Liangwen Chou means that the opponent's military heart has not been affected too much, and the situation will be very bad.
Whether Cao Cao's reinforcements can appear or not depends on how long he can hold Lin Mo back.
After all, it would take him several months from Yizhou to clean up the situation and then reorganize the army and return to the Central Plains.
"Who would have thought that Lu Su would dare to use troops like this, and raid our army with hundreds of tired cavalry, in order to allow the army to evacuate this place safely." Han Dang seemed to be comforted, and said helplessly.
Things have come to this point, in fact, it is very different from the situation that Zhuge Liang said in Jiaozhou at the beginning.
At that time, they considered these problems, and they thought that if they could eat the Lu army in the three counties of Huainan, not to mention that Lu Lin's vitality would be greatly damaged, there would eventually be a vacancy in the army.
rashly mobilized the defense forces in the Central Plains, that is, to give Cao Cao a chance.
But now, Yan Liangwen didn't keep it, and the army also took away 20,000, once they and Lin Mo's army converged, it would be even more difficult to recuperate the military strength.
Pengcheng's side, because of the departure of the black queen, the red sleeve trick has completely become a bright card, purely to collect some homeless women to work, and the dark line has not improved for a long time.
Although after Chuan'er grew up, Lu Lingqi was able to draw her background, but because there have been a lot fewer wars in the Central Plains over the years, the red sleeves can no longer absorb enough fresh blood at the beginning, and Lu Lingqi is also a clever woman who has no rice.
However, in terms of manpower, as long as you are willing, you can still temporarily draw out some of them, after all, the previous twenty people were divided into ten groups, except for the sister flower that Zhang Yan fell in love with, the other nine groups were all stationed in the major families in the north to be responsible for monitoring tasks.
It's just that Lin Mo is still not sure where to place these people, the battle situation is changeable, and the family in the northern country really needs people to watch, so he still doesn't plan to make a big move for the time being.
In recent days, Zhao Yun's mood seemed to be much better, and with the arrival of the garrisons of Xiaoguan, Peicheng, and Guangling, he was as active in deploying manpower and reorganizing his team as before.
He didn't say it, but obviously, Lin Mo's method of picking up girls with dead skin and face had a miraculous effect, and the woman said no, but she couldn't think in her heart.
Gan Ning and Yu Ban also arrived.
Both of them suffered the loss of the Jiangdong Sailors in the Yangtze River Valley, and the 12,000 sailors at the good end were beaten and only more than 5,000 people were left to come back in embarrassment.
"Although it is eager to retreat from the enemy, but defeat is defeat, if it is not punished, how can hundreds of thousands of troops unite the hearts of the army?"
Lin Mo, who was sitting on the handsome chair, looked at the two helplessly.
As the coach, Gan Ning has the right to specialize, and it is not wrong to go to the rescue, but you fought like this in the first battle, and you didn't give some punishment, how can you explain to others?
You have to understand that it is not easy for people to sit in this position.
"Please condemn the Hou Ye." The two of them were convinced.
"Gan Ning was defeated and demoted to a pre-army captain, Yu Ban was demoted to a lieutenant of the army, and one person received twenty military sticks."
After speaking, Lin Mo sighed, "Now that the big war is imminent, you can write down the matter of the military stick first, and I hope that the two of you will make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and redeem each other." ”
"Master Xie!" The two of them didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied.
In fact, such a punishment is already obvious favoritism.
Lin Mo's heart was quite chaotic.
He also received a letter from Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and next, Lu Su, Yan Liang and Wen Chou all had to ask for their crimes, this is the rule.
But he didn't expect that the last person to make a move would be Cao Xing and the others.
He also lost his life for this.
I don't know if I did something wrong at the beginning.
Sometimes, Lin Mo would also wonder if he relied too much on the prophet and was biased in his arrangements for certain people.
I think that the old father-in-law should be uncomfortable when he knows the news.
Lin Mo can't empathize with Lin Mo in their robes, but this thing is emotional.
All he could do was to find him Sun Ce to repay his debts.
Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yu Ban, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng.
Hmm, the twelve tigers of Jiangbiao will have to explain a few.
