Chapter 163: Barbarian King Shamoko
When the sun rose, thousands of corpses were divided into two piles and disposed of in one place.
In less than an hour of confrontation, more than 4,000 barbarians who were not afraid of death died, more than 2,000 of Zhang Liao's foot riders died, and Zhang Liao's beloved horse was also among the corpses.
But Zhang Liao's new camp has been set up, whether it is the Wuxi barbarians, or Liu Bei, whoever wants to attack again will pay more than just a casualty ratio of one to two.
Every time he saw off his comrades-in-arms, Zhang Liao looked solemn, he knew that he had been deceived by Pang Tong yesterday, Pang Tong was shocked on the surface, just to make him believe that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were really here, and tricked Zhang Liao into losing the mind of escaping, after all, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing may not be able to besiege Zhang Liao, but they can't scare Zhang Liao.
It's a pity that Cao Ying came to reinforcements, which made him fall short.
After that, Zhuge Liang and Cao Xiu also met with Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao met Zhuge Liang in Chukou, and it was also a secret luck to learn that they came this time.
It turned out that Yu Ban and others brought more than 20,000 people, most of them infantry, and the speed of movement was not fast, after Cao Wu judged that Zhang Liao should hold on, Zhuge Liang proposed that he should quickly rush to establish contact with Zhang Liao in order to judge the next trend.
So he and Cao Xiu took a hundred cavalry, each soldier was one man and two horses, and galloped from the avenue to find Zhang Liao.
They surpassed the miracle of marching 300 miles in one day and one night in the Battle of Jingzhou, and it took only three hours for a hundred people to complete the march of more than 100 miles.
Zhang Liao's new camp is on the edge of the avenue, Zhuge Liang found that Zhang Liao was fighting here, and quickly set up a strategy, saw the opportunity, and let Cao Xiu lead people up and down the hill continuously.
If Pang Tong calmed down and analyzed, he would definitely think that the moment these cavalry jumped up the mountain, there were no torches, which was impossible, and the horses could not see at night.
But in a panic at the time, Pang Tong didn't expect that Cao Xiu deliberately lit only a few torches in order to prevent him from seeing the number of tigers and leopards.
Everyone is taking risks and deceiving people, in this game, it is Zhuge Liang who defeated his old friend Pang Tong.
After dawn, Zhuge Liang looked at the terrain and had to admire the wonder of Zhang Liao's camp location.
The location of Zhang Liao's camp this time is like inserting it in Liu Bei's heart, no matter which direction Liu Bei goes west or south, he has to pass through here.
And Zhang Liao's scouts also began to spread around, and even if Liu Bei wanted to escape from the mountains, they would soon find out.
Speaking of scouts, Zhuge Liang also asked Cao Wuyu to transfer a group of scouts from various armies to rush here.
Those scouts have other uses.
After inspecting the barracks, Cao Xiu escorted Zhuge Liang back to Zhang Liao's Chinese army.
When Cao Xiu came, Cao Wu promised him that he could be the leader of the army or the middle protector of the prime minister, and his official position was not high, but he was always protected by Cao Cao's side, which was a rare noble position among military generals.
For Zhuge Liang, the future long history of General Cao Wu's mansion, Cao Xiu didn't pay much attention to it, and yesterday 100 people scared off 50,000 barbarians, which made him admire Zhuge Liang.
This is true in the military, and those who are capable will be respected.
Zhang Liao also came out of the tent and said to Zhuge Liang: "Military division, is there a loophole in the camp?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head, he was just a novice in marching and fighting, he had only read it in the war book, but he had not practiced it, and he couldn't find fault with Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao asked again: "Then what should we do next?" ”
"The lord said that he needs to take both Jiaozhou and Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong is trapped in Wuling, we just need to wait for the arrival of the army and the merger of the two armies."
Everyone knows that he will be the governor of the Beifu General's Mansion, and the staff of the Kaifu and the monarch of the Mansion are the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and this voice is natural, and others will not take it as disrespectful to Cao Cao.
Zhang Liao nodded, and asked when Cao Xiu's army would arrive.
Cao Xiu calculated and replied: "The camp in Bin County is less than two hundred miles away from here, and the army has left the camp yesterday, so you can arrive here tomorrow night at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest." My people have gone back to inform me of the situation. ”
Zhang Liao was relieved, no matter how fierce the barbarians were, it was no problem for his army to be stationed in this camp for two or three days, and then, he only needed to prevent Liu Bei from escaping.
……
In the mountains dozens of miles east of their camp, Liu Bei waited in the camp for the defeated Wuxi barbarians.
On the way, Pang Tong and Ma Liang had already figured out the joint, and felt that they had retreated too early, and they didn't even estimate how many tigers and leopards they had to ride.
But there was a coincidence, the hillside that Cao Xiu climbed happened to be the place where Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were fighting, and Pang Tong had to retreat, so Ma Liang didn't feel that there was any mistake.
There is also a consensus between the two of them here, anyway, the people who died were all barbarians, not Liu Bei's two thousand old soldiers.
Shamoke, who has an upright personality, does not feel that he is defeated at all, but feels that the battle at night is happy, and the other party must have more casualties than himself.
Shamoko held an extremely long mace, called Tribulus terrestris Guduo, and fought at night, killing at least twenty people, killing refreshmently.
He entered Liu Bei's camp proudly, Liu Bei personally went out of the camp, and when he arrived at the door, he looked like he came to greet him when he heard his arrival.
Shamoke was carrying the iron thistle bones, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he laughed, slammed the weapon on the ground and said, "It's a pity that the military advisor said that he would withdraw the army, otherwise I would definitely exterminate Zhang Liaobu and ride." ”
Pang Tong and Ma Liang's faces changed, Ma Yan's face showed anger, but Liu Bei didn't look left and right, and took Shamoke's hand and said: "The big handsome Gao Yi, in the past, there were captains of Wuhuan and Xiongnu lieutenants in the court, and he was revitalized in the Han Dynasty, and the marshal should be the captain of Wuxi and the lieutenants of Wuxi!" ”
Shamoke laughed in one sentence, and then said: "If you want me to say, isn't the Son of Luoyang also a head and two arms, surnamed Liu, and the general is also surnamed Liu, this Son of Heaven, who does it is not the same!" ”
He said it heroically, but the people who listened at the scene had different expressions.
In fact, the Wuxi barbarians are different from the Xiongnu, the Wuxi barbarians and the Han people have the same roots, and they are also Huaxia people two thousand years ago, belonging to the Jiuli people, but in the past, the Chiyou were defeated, and the Jiuli people hid in the mountains and became barbarians.
Emperor Guangwu rebuilt the Han Dynasty, Fubo General Ma Yuan conquered Wuximan, died of illness, Wuxi Man became increasingly difficult to control, to Shamoke's generation, the ambition was highlighted, but in the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao unified the four southern counties, when Liu Biao was strong, Wuling Taishou Liu Rong suppressed Wuximan, and he did not dare to go out.
Later, Liu Biao died, and the new Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan still suppressed Wuxi Man strongly.
It was at this time that because Cao Cao went south, the Ma Wuchang felt that it was difficult for him to stand out in Cao Cao's army, so he defected to Liu Bei, passed by Wuling County, and persuaded Sha Moke to follow Liu Bei, and regarded the barbarians as the name of the Ma Wuchang.
And Ma Liang's words to persuade Wuxi Barbarians are also simple, that is, to bully the barbarians and not understand the general trend of the world, saying that Liu Bei can ascend the throne as the emperor, and Shamoke can be the minister of the dragon.
At the beginning, Shamoke was skeptical, but under the command of Pang Tong and Ma Liang, he broke Zhang He, and he believed in the witch god, so he thought that Liu Bei was the real dragon lord, and became more and more convinced.
The Wuxi barbarians almost poured out of the nest to support Liu Bei.
Liu Bei promised that after this battle, Wuxi Barbarians could go back, and after the world was calmed, the barbarians could get the same treatment as the Han people, and Shamoke could also be knighted.
For Shamoke, just going out to fight can get monstrous wealth, so he naturally has to gamble.
However, let Ma Liangkou hang like a river, the barbarians' hatred for the Son of Heaven will not be canceled for a while, he only temporarily admires Liu Bei and his subordinates who can minister and warriors, not surrender to Liu Bei.
Now that the old matter is brought up again, he persuaded Liu Bei to be the emperor, and there are many people in Liu Bei's army who still have illusions about the Son of Heaven, and their faces are not good-looking.
But I don't know what Liu Bei will do.
