First Battle Yellow Turban
All the soldiers heard Kang Chao singing the song of Gaozu's great wind, and sang together: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!"
The reason why the Kang Dynasty sang this song of the great wind, on the one hand, was that he was excited to lead the army for the first time, and secondly, because he felt that there were really too few generals under his command, and the ratio of civil and military was too unbalanced. The military general is only one Wu Sangui. So much so that he wanted to send a literati like Xi Xi to take charge of the rear army, not to mention, but also to go into battle himself. This situation will be somewhat better when Wu Xiang and the others come, but the search for generals must also be put on their agenda. The Tai Shi family has been going there a lot in the past few months, and Tai Shi Ci should basically be in his pocket. The rest of the one named Xue Li is really not impressed, so he thinks he shouldn't be a historical celebrity. Coupled with this period of time, agricultural affairs, military affairs, etc., I have never found time to see him. Originally, I wanted to rest tomorrow, so I went to see this heroic man who was said by Wu Sangui that the bow horse was not under him. I don't want Cai Yu to be surrounded by Geng Ling again. I have to go to the rescue again. It seems that it can only be said that he has no chance with this Xue Li for the time being.
Here, the Kang Dynasty marched slowly and didn't say anything, but said that Wu Sangui went all the way. The country is not far from Huangxian. Wu Sangui is a light horse and does not wear armor. The troops were sent out from time to time, and they arrived in this county before Shen. Along the way, he rode out four times, but he found out the situation of the yellow scarf clearly. The besieged city was the Donglai Yellow Turban, headed by Geng Ling, supplemented by Zhou He and Yang Zuo. There are more than 30,000 people, and in addition to the old and weak, there are also more than 10,000 strong people. Wu Sangui kept sending people to send the situation to Kang Chao all the way. First proved that the general was right. Cai Wei was surrounded in this country, and then explored a few places that were easy to ambush, so that the Kang Dynasty could march boldly. Waited until they arrived at the city of Yuguo. Wu Sangui found that the situation was not so tense. The country is a small county, although the city is short, but it also has benefits. Geng Ling's soldiers and horses did surround this county three layers inside and three layers outside. But at the same time, there were only three or two thousand people who could attack. This also makes the city have few soldiers and horses, but they can still barely support it. You can calm down, set up camp, and wait for the arrival of the Kang Dynasty army to make plans.
Geng Lingduan was in the camp, and he was upset that he had not been resentful of the country for a long time, and heard that his subordinates had come to report that a cavalry team of more than 200 people in the east of the county dared to come to the rescue. So he took the case and said angrily: "Can you find out whose soldiers and horses it is?" Dare to come and brush the tiger's whiskers! The subordinates replied: "The soldiers of the county order of Huang County, Wu Sangui, the county lieutenant of Huang County, personally led the troops. ”
Geng Ling said with a smile: "Dare to love was not hard enough last time, and he came to die again today." Zhao Peng, He Drama. The two of you led your men to fetch this Wu Sangui's head for me. ”
His subordinates Zhao Peng and He Ju were ordered to go out of the account. I heard Geng Ling shouting in the tent: "The county governs the big mound, and it goes down overnight; The small city of the country has not been taken for half a day. Why? I should personally beat the drum and cheer, and the generals who ascend first will be rewarded with ten gold, and the county will have it. Everyone listened to Geng Ling's cruelty, and their eyes were warm. For a while, the drums beat loudly, and I only felt that the country was crumbling.
Wu Sangui was camping. But he saw that the country was suddenly in danger. So he mounted his horse and held his gun, and shouted to his subordinates: "The thieves see that I am waiting and attack the city!" What do I care about? Afraid of me? As he was talking, he saw Zhao and He coming. So he continued: "Today I am a pioneer, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. Genuine duty, too. Behead these two people first. How dare you rush into battle! "Wu Sangui's cavalry, most of which are his former Liaodong subordinates, followed him all the way to pacify the Yellow Turban, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles. Millions of yellow scarves have also been seen, how can they be frightened by Zhao and He's two thousand people. So they all said: "I am willing to make contributions with the county lieutenant." ”
Sangui was neatly organized and went first with guns. Two hundred cavalry roared behind. They are all good sabers. A man who charged and rushed on the opposite side turned on his horse. Wu Sangui was in the array, as if he was in a no-man's land, and there was never a living mouth under a big gun. Looking at the direction of Zhao and He, they beat their horses forward. Zhao Peng is among the thieves. Known for his bravery. Seeing Sangui coming, he also shook the big knife in his hand and wanted to fight with Sangui. After fighting less than Sanhe, he was stabbed in the center by Wu Sangui with a shot, and he didn't see it alive. Wu Sangui laughed wildly and was about to rush towards He Ju again. But one of his men had already killed him. If you look closely, it is Guo Shitu, a subordinate. As soon as Zhao and He died, the rest were scattered.
Wu Sangui deserves to be a natural general, and when he saw these routs, he rushed straight to the thieves' main formation. Only the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again. So he gathered up his cavalry and charged into battle.
That Geng Ling attacked Huang County in one fell swoop last time, and he couldn't help but look down on Wu Sangui a few points. When he heard that there were only about 200 people, he didn't take him to heart at all. Only Zhao and He are enough to capture it. The worst is that you can keep the camp without losing. I don't want to be defeated by Wu Sangui in a moment. made it completely defenseless, and the formation was rushed by its own people, completely chaotic. Wu Sangui led 200 people to rush and kill in the middle of it, but he was completely unable to resist.
Cai Wei saw this in the city, so he also lifted his spirits, and said to the guards on the city wall: "It must be Kang Boyang of Huangxian County to help, everyone will hold on for a while, and the thieves will retreat." The crowd said yes. For a while, Geng Ling couldn't advance or retreat, and said angrily: "There are only hundreds of enemies, and the generals will stabilize their positions." Those who mess with our formation will have no distinction between the enemy and me, and there will be no forgiveness for killing. After speaking, he did not avoid the arrows and stones, and beat the drum himself. Geng Ling, although he is violent and immoral, has a set of training troops. The order is like a mountain, and the soldiers and horses under his command never dare to disobey it. After his generals beheaded hundreds of rushing soldiers, the situation gradually stabilized. Wu Sangui saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to give up. His subordinates have been killing for a long time, and if they still want to fight, they are afraid that they will not be in the battle. You can only show the official seal, and call the city gate of the country open. led his men straight into the country.
Seeing that he was retreating, Geng Ling wanted to take the opportunity to attack the country again. But it was already dark, so he could only pack up the remnants and count the casualties of each battalion. In this battle, nearly 2,000 men and horses were lost, but most of them died at the hands of their own people. Less than one percent actually died under Wu Sangui's hands. Geng Ling saw that his subordinates were greatly defeated, and he had the idea of withdrawing his troops in his heart. It's just that I see that the country is about to fall, but I don't give up. So he said to his subordinates: "If there are no soldiers from Huangxian, the country is already in me." Today, Wu Sangui took the lead, and his subordinates were all cavalry, rushing back and forth, and it was really difficult to resist. It's just that tomorrow this country will count on who will come to the rescue. I'll see how those four-legged brutes managed to get up to the walls. It's just 200 remnants. Tomorrow will be the kingdom of sorrow. When the city is broken, the city is robbed for a day. All you get is yours. After hearing this, the morale of his subordinates rose again. Seeing this, Geng Ling breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't come here just to plunder the small counties of the country. He was even ordered by Xu He to kill the new Donglai Taishou Cai Yu. Geng Ling knows his own affairs, he doesn't have any great talent, he is just a reckless man. But Xu He is a character with great ambition and strategy. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was defeated, under the leadership of Xu He, Qingzhou still had a good life. He didn't know why Xu He wanted him to kill Cai Yu, but he knew that there would be nothing wrong with this. So if he didn't really can't do it, he really doesn't want to disappoint Xu He.
He instructed the night watchmen to keep watch for the night, and then patrolled the camp again. I feel like I don't miss anything. Geng Ling went back to his tent and went to sleep. After all, he knew that there would be a big battle tomorrow, and he had to cultivate his spirit and meet this Wu Sangui for a while. Besides, Wu Sangui entered the state of Yu, met Zhou Ze, the commander of the country, and the new Taishou Cai Kun.
Cai Yu is already an old man of nearly seventy years old, and he originally thought that he was probably going to die in this small country, but he didn't want to send a rescue from heaven to relieve his danger; I also saw Wu Sangui walking with a tiger step, with a big waist and a fierce general. couldn't help but be pleased: "The old man Cai Yu thanked the county lieutenant Wu for saving his life, please accept the old man's worship." "After saying that, I have to bow down. Wu Sangui dared to really ask him to bow down to himself, so he hurried to help, and Cai Wei was just doing a thanksgiving picture, so he took advantage of the situation and asked: "Today, the county lieutenant Wu led the crowd to come to relieve the old man's danger." It's just that this small country county is thin. The county lieutenant has worked out again. How about I wait for tomorrow, can the county lieutenant teach me? Wu Sangui looked at Cai Wei carefully, but saw that his face was haggard, and his lips trembled slightly. In his heart, he secretly laughed at the old lady who was frightened by the yellow scarf, but he was relieved on his face: "Taishou don't have to worry, this county ordered Kang Boyang's orthodox soldiers to come here, just because he was worried about the safety of Taishou, so he sent villains to come here first." ”
After hearing this, Cai Wei put back the heart that was up and down. asked with a smile: "If Donglai County is as good as Boyang, the old man can be said to have peace of mind." I don't know how many generals Boyang came here? ”
"We have led a total of 4,000 troops to come here in three ways. Too shou sits in the city, and watch me wait for tomorrow's thief. ”
Cai Kun said with a smile: "Since the party, the old man has only lectured at home, and he doesn't mean that there are many talents in the world. Seeing the county lieutenant today is a great relief. "Cai Wei is a veteran party member, and he pays attention to the style of celebrities and gentlemen. The family study is rigorous, and he is famous for governing the "Spring and Autumn Period". Originally, he didn't like martial arts, but these two party disasters, coupled with the Yellow Turban Chaos in recent years, also made this old gentleman understand that if it was a prosperous era, he could naturally sit at home and pay attention to the style of celebrities and scholars, and sit and talk about Taoism. But now in this world, day by day is chaotic, and I have to go out of the place again. Then he naturally has to have a team of henchmen, but his family is full of literati, talking about the scriptures and saying that they are good at it, but he can't count on them when he goes into battle to kill the enemy. Seeing this Wu Sangui's bravery today, I couldn't help but look at him. So he ordered his subordinates to hold a banquet in this county government to invite Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your love, but the yellow scarves are still there outside the city, and the soldiers can't rest in peace, how dare Wu sit in the city." In case of yellow turbans outside the city, climb at night. I'm afraid that I and the adults will be prisoners of the ranks. Today's wine, the right to send it. When the yellow scarf retreats, the lower officials must apologize. ”
Cai Yuyuan is only a whim, and he is not a person who doesn't know what to do. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The county lieutenant is a martial artist, what is the crime, but the old man doesn't know the severity." Listening to the county lieutenant, the day the yellow turban retreated was the time for me and the county lieutenant to have a good time. "Cai Wei is old, and today is very nervous, just now I saw Wu Sangui a little excited but not yet, but now I am a little sleepy. So he said: "It's not okay to be unconvinced, but the old man can't do it." The affairs of the country were all entrusted to the county lieutenant. The old man went to sleep first. ”
Wu Sangui was arrogant, and he was afraid that Cai Wei would command blindly, so he simply said: "Rest assured, as long as Wu is still alive, he will not lose the country." ”
