Volume 1 Chapter 436 - Cooperative Hands (I)
Tiger Prison Pass
The sunset hangs on the west mountain, the camp tent stretches for 30 miles, the long Yellow River turns north and arcs to the east in this piece, the water surface is relatively flat and open, the port is crowded with people, and the large and small ships are bustling on board.
Hundreds of white sails stretched up.
This is the fourth day of the first time in the Tiger Prison, and a group of Yangtze River sailors from the Jingbei water system arrived late last night to take the man-made Grand Canal "chasm" that runs through the Yellow River and the Huai River -- this canal connects the main rivers between the Yellow River and the Huai River, including Ji, Pu, Bian, Sui, Ying, Whirlpool, Ru, Si, and He, and connects the four prefectures of Henan, Yan, Xu, and Jing after the construction of the Wei State and the expansion of the Qin Empire, making the waterway transportation in the Central Plains very convenient
However, due to the accumulation of sand in the Yellow River, many sections of the waterway since the Eastern Han Dynasty have been congested and in disrepair, and now only a small amount of materials can be allowed to navigate
Under the support of the powerful civil and military system, the battalion had already been fully prepared, the core descendants of the Yuan family were cleaned up, and the unreliable ones were also promoted and shelved, and after a day and a night of emergency deployment, the Yuan battalion surrendered to the main force of the Yellow River Water Division and was initially reorganized into the system, with 20 building ships, 34 fighting ships, 47 ships, 150 boats, and more than 600 sheepskin rafts that were urgently requisitioned and borrowed from fishermen along the river in four days, all of which were on standby, and now they are finally activated.
When the boat was moved to the shore, the sky was gray, the river was dark, Ye Qing and the Queen Mother had just arrived, and they saw that the soldiers had already lined up, and the sabers were standing on both sides, very solemn and majestic.
There was silence for a while, headed by Guan Yu, and all the officials and soldiers who greeted him knelt on the ground, bowed down and said: "Meet the lord, meet the queen mother"
Guan Yu stood at the front, after the big salute, he had to step forward and give himself a court salute, Ye Qing supported Guan Yu and smiled: "No need to be polite, the army is moving forward, there is a lack of food, there is nothing else in the army, only a bowl of water and wine, come, I will salute you a bowl." ”
At this time, the etiquette was not so solemn, Guan Yu thanked him, took it, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The second brother is alone, and he is careful all the way. Ye Qing changed his face: "Just hold it for five days, you will be able to see the tiger prison collapse, and it is up to you whether you can cut it all down."
Guan Yutong nodded with a positive face: "I can save it, this is related to the great cause of the lord, and I will definitely achieve it"
Ye Qing smiled and said to the generals and colonels at all levels: "Since this is the case, I am waiting for your good news in Gong County."
The "Wansheng" army responded in unison.
Ye Qing knew that they still had a lot of work, so they didn't want to say more, looked back at the Queen Mother behind them, and signaled to play
"What should the mourners say?" she lowered her voice, a little caught off guard.
Ye Qing only whispered: "Feel free, please ask the Queen Mother to inspire the soldiers." ”
Under the backlight of the setting sun, looking from afar from the boat from the perspective of a soldier, the woman in the phoenix dress and Zhai Guan on the riverside was difficult to distinguish, only the waist was straight, attracting people's attention, and her voice spread in the sound transmission array: "On this occasion, the mourning family, as a woman, should not be on the field. ”
"It's just that the thief Dong Zhuo, who dares to deceive the sky and abolish the establishment, the two emperors, the Han family sect and social committee ruins, the sins are full of crime, and the mourning family can't wait for the car to crack Ling Ling, only sighing. ”
"Now Liu has made the Han family noble, raised troops to set things right, mourned the tears of the family, and the Han family is expected to revivenation
"Please also ask all the soldiers to do their best to support the Han family, and the sky will live up to it"
"Long live the big Han, long live, long live" The ship carried 15,000 soldiers, and when they heard the words, they all knelt down, and even the mountains shouted Long live, and their voices were high into the clouds.
Yuan Jun's sailors were all moved...... After all, they are all people of the Han Dynasty, this kind of folk identity goes beyond the name of the princes, and it is also the largest political wealth left by the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ye Qing clearly saw that with the loss of Yuan Shao, these Yuan Camp soldiers were generally in a state of confusion, but at this moment, they were converging at the slightest ......
Most of them are still condensed to the Queen Mother, and a small part has lingered.
"It's a good omen. Qianqian said with a smile, she glanced at the Queen Mother, and the golden phoenix was originally curled up, but at this time it was stretching its wings, and it was refreshing.
"Well, but it's not so easy to really condense the momentum, and I still have to break through the tiger prison and enter Luoyang before I have the ability to attract across states. ”
Ye Qing responded quietly, and quietly watched the last batch of soldiers get on the ship.
The red rabbit horse neighed and jumped onto the flagship, the gangways of each ship were being pulled up and withdrawn to the ship one by one, the two red flags were waving, and there were several attendant magicians in the traditional way of command, the anchor clattering, the hard sails spinning to the wind, everything was in order.
It's a pity that it can only be loaded with fifteen thousand, and if you want to double it, you can risk it.
Ye Qing was a little regretful, at present, the naval division battleships are borrowed from human and animal power and wind power, and the displacement is limited, the space is limited, and many soldiers cannot be transported......
Once he is out of the support of the army, as soon as he sets foot on the small plain of Luoyang, his back foot will immediately be betrayed by the governor Yan Shenyuan and Yu Fan, and a large number of Xiliang troops will rush to surround him, not to mention the Taiping Taoist priests, even the presence of the Yan and Yu two sorcerer groups is nine times out of ten.
The southeast wind blew, and a huge fleet set sail in the twilight of dusk, towing countless lambskin rafts up the river.
"Let's go back" At this time, the heavy rain of beans fell with the wind, and everyone felt cool, and they couldn't say that they were happy, and some people said: "Good rain, if it rains more, you can solve the drought." ”
Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, asked the Queen Mother to get in the car, and everyone got into the car and got on the horse to follow.
At this moment, there were many people who saw the Yellow River Sailors go west, the governor, Yu Fan, and even the Tiger Prison Pass, almost all of them could see the movement of this huge fleet, and they suddenly mixed up the previous measurements, and an indescribable feeling permeated, and many people's faces were pale.
In the Tiger Prison, Hu Zhen once again ordered the sealing of the words, which could stop the soldiers, but it could not stop the private collusion and discussion of the grassroots school officials.
"Are you going to attack Luoyang?"
"I'm afraid it's the ...... of intercepting our grain"
"It's okay, Guancheng has hoarded a lot of grain, which is more than enough to support ten days and a half months, and it will definitely be more difficult to support than the 500,000 heroes in the lower Kanto, not to mention the huge casualties in the siege. ”
"As long as we hold it for ten days, when the dust settles on the moving capital, we will abandon the customs and leave, so there is nothing to fear
"It's still a chore, it's like driving the group to move the capital, robbing money and people on the road, any official eunuch and lady can take the opportunity to start, I heard that the first two batches of Yuan Taifu's wives and concubines are all good...... Hey
"Smack-" A slap fell on the top of this person, the general was furious, and was about to draw his sword, only to hear the chariot general Fan Chou shouting from behind: "What nonsense, guard your position"
"Yes, yes, my lord, let's go......" The colonel nodded and sent his boss to his boss, and when he saw the inspection far away, he secretly sighed: "What are you angry, you spend all day drinking, and the first emperor and concubines have accepted two in the mansion...... Sooner or later, the Kwantung soldiers will cut off their heads......"
Things like this are still happening, and the Xiliang Army is no longer the one when Dong Zhuo started, but has expanded the army and expanded it to ten times.
The source of soldiers is mixed, everyone has it, and they were originally excited to eat the imperial food, but when they gradually defaulted on their military salaries, their dissatisfaction gradually dispersed.
Or there is a fear of authority, but Dong Zhuo even killed the second emperor, the queen mother ran away, and the rumors of Chixiao escaping all know in Luoyang, on the one hand, it is the upward and downward effect, on the other hand, they all feel that the future is not good, how many people in the middle and lower school officials will sincerely respect "Dong Taishi"?
It's just that there have been a lot of evil things done in the past two years, and there is nowhere to go except for the Xiliang Army, and there are still family members in Luoyang City, so they can only cheer up their spirit to support them.
"No matter how bad the situation is, it is easy to hold on to the treacherous terrain of Tiger Pass for ten days and a half months, and you can withdraw to Luoyang in time...... Oh, no, I heard that it was directly evacuated to Chang'an......"
The middle and lower-level school officials are like this, and the middle-level generals and above are silent, and the specific news about the disadvantage of leaving the division a few days ago has long been covered up, but it is only the middle and lower levels that are covered, they all have the right to know the Tao as generals, and some of them still see it in person, they know the beginning and the end, how can they not be touched?
Especially the strength of the three real people, they are all clear - without real skills, how can these real people gain a foothold in the army?
"General Lu Bu and Marshal Xu Rong have all folded in the hands of this Liu Bei, and even the real assassination a few days ago not only did not succeed, but lost their money...... Could it be that this Liu Bei really has a destiny?"
"Then wouldn't we be dragged together to be buried together, this is absolutely impossible, it seems that there must be a plan...... many people thought like this, and the desire to leave as soon as possible gradually rose.
This change in military morale cannot hide the general, and it is even more difficult to hide the warlock.
Hu Zhen looked at these in his eyes.
Although as soon as he failed a few days ago, Hu Zhen immediately controlled his speech and blocked the news, and the 300 cavalry who fled back from the first receiving army last night were all isolated and transferred to Luoyang, but in the face of this change in morale, they were helpless, and they could no longer force them back
Now I had to send fast horses again to report the invasion of this water division to Gongxian, a strategic point in the middle of the grain road.
The envoy Zhenren also listened to these in his ears and frowned silently.
When he went back to attend the preparatory meeting, he put forward the attitude of both nervousness and luck in the army, and his face was a little disdainful and a little dignified.
"This city's magic array has been built in two years, and we are not afraid of ordinary spells, normally it is enough to prevent Ye Huolei, but in a large-scale offensive and defensive battle, when our mana is finally exhausted and we have no time to recover, these soldiers are so slack, won't it increase our burden?
Liu Zhenren and a few colleagues glanced at each other, thinking about providing information: "The four-hundred-year-old Guancheng has reached the pinnacle of conventional protection, and the front and back are not afraid, but the magic circle is newly built, and it can only focus on protecting the front half, and the back is relatively thin, beware of the spell attacks on the back road." ”
The low-level indigenous Taoist priests below looked at each other one by one, and couldn't understand it: "Guancheng is adjacent to the Yellow River by Song Mountain, and there are mountains behind it, except for a road leading to Luoyang Valley, unless Luoyang falls, how can you still copy the back road?"
"No matter how thin the magic circle is, it is protected, and the small sorcerer who comes to steal the pass is also sent to death......"
"Don't talk nonsense, what the real person said must be reasonable, but with a real person hosting, whoever comes to sneak attack will be in vain...
A few real people woke up, these indigenous Taoist priests didn't have an extraordinary concept of war at all, how could they understand all kinds of short-distance jumping troop transportation with the help of spells?
They were speechless for a while, and finally realized the impatience of the natives, so they could only shake their heads: "If you don't understand, I'll show you in the attack and defense, and then study hard." ”
It is hoped that the brutal large-scale and multi-level war in a few days will make this batch of rapid training mature, so as to consume Ye Qing's vitality as much as possible and promote the dispersion of the coalition army.
Everything is prepared for the final fatal blow
