Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Three-Pointed Knife
When marching into battle, it is most important to send sentries to listen to the enemy, and the sentries are the eyes and ears of the army. Liu Bei was one of the experts, and he sent more than 100 sentry horsemen to report back every hour. The closer you get to the boundary of Xia Pi under Yuan Shu's rule, the more frequent you will reciprocate.
However, it was said that the army was about to approach the Xuyi territory, and the sentry reported that Ji Ling, the general of Yuan Shu's army, led 100,000 troops and horses to fight against me. I only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, so I am surrounded by mountains and rivers, and I can attack and retreat and defend.
Guan Yu said: "Ji Ling is a native of Shandong, a general under Yuan Shu, I heard that there is no defeat in a hundred battles, and he is a famous general in Shandong." ”
"Can you fight?" As a swordsman, I am naturally not afraid of killing the enemy one-on-one with a big knife, but the number of soldiers and horses is small at the moment, and I have met a famous general, so I am naturally apprehensive.
"I'll meet him tomorrow. Guan Yu said.
"Okay, with Brother Yun, I dare to fight with him. "That's true.
On that day, I led my own troops out of battle. I saw that Ji Ling had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a very vicious face. Carrying a three-pointed knife, the estimated weight is fifty or sixty pounds. In such troubled times as the end of the Han Dynasty, according to the convention, the two generals are not to fight to the death, but to scold each other first, who can scold each other is annoyed and angry, which is a very morale-boosting thing. Regardless of whether you know the other side or not, it's always right to scold "anti-thief", the world is all anti-thief, and no one knows who is orthodox in the end.
It is estimated that even if Emperor Liu Xie personally came to the battle, some people would dare to scold him as an "anti-thief", after all, this country was originally owned by the Young Emperor Liu Wei. It was Dong Zhuo's perverse actions and indiscriminate actions that led to today's situation.
Let's say, I was clearing my throat, and before I stepped forward to scold Ji Ling, I saw the guy pointing at me and scolding: "Duan Dahu, you village man, boldly fight against thieves, and dare to invade our territory!"
I also scolded loudly: "Yuan Shu is a Han minister, eating the court, but he has the heart of being the emperor, I am now in the edict of the Son of Heaven, I am here to crusade against the thief, you dare to refuse me, the crime is not punishable, quickly get off the horse and be arrested!"
When Ji Ling saw that I really had the edict of the Son of Heaven, he knew that he was wrong, so he was angry and slapped his horse and sword to kill me. I sneered, but saw Guan Gong shouting: "The puppet is strong!" Facing Ji Ling, the two sides beat drums and cheered.
The master once explained to me the weapons of the world, and these three-pointed knives do not belong to the eighteen kinds of weapons, but belong to the Qimen blade. The specific usage includes: splitting, stirring, rushing, piercing, teasing, pointing, collapsing, falling, winding, winding, dialing, blocking, etc., so that good people are just fine, if they are not good, they are cumbersome. For example, the move of "splitting Huashan with force", my big knife will come out, and I will naturally get up and down, and the wind and water will be smooth. And this three-pointed knife is a bit nondescript, just like a red tassel gun tied to a hammer, powerful is powerful, but it has become a heroic joke of "smashing Huashan", inexplicably making a mace.
But when it comes to Ji Ling, the martial arts under his hands are really unambiguous, but he saw Guan Yu slashing three times in one move, three pillars of light slashed towards Ji Ling, and Ji Ling stabbed left and right with a three-pointed knife, stabbing Guan Yu in the right rib. Guan Yu slashed at his wrist again, Ji Ling used his blade to block it, and after thirty rounds of fighting, there was no winner or loser.
Guan Yu was furious and made a trick, only to see that the tip of his knife was facing the sky, the green dragon loomed above the blade, and a dark cloud gathered above his head, and he was about to kill Ji Ling with a knife "Mount Tai pressed the top".
"Wait!" Ji Lingdao handed over his left hand, pushed his right palm forward, and said in a chic posture.
Guan Yu was originally a real person, and when he saw him say this, he thought he really had something to say, so he also put down the knife. But I heard Ji Ling say: "After dozens of rounds, my mouth is a little dry, wait for me to go back and have a cup of tea, and then I will fight you to the death!"
"Hmph!" Guan Yu leaned to one side, meaning that he acquiesced.
Then Ji Ling hit the horse and left, who expected that after more than an hour, the sun was already shining, and Ji Ling still didn't come out. I asked Liu Bei, "Why did Ji Ling go, did he still come?"
Who expected that it was okay not to ask, but when he asked, Liu Bei was furious, pointed at Guan Yu and said: "Second brother, you are honest, how many times have I said it." Ji Ling's guy said that you would let him go back to drink water? He was going to pee and for a while, and this battle would not be fought! You cut off his head first, and then feed him water...... Hey, you can't teach your son!"
Guan Yu's face turned pale, and he deliberately pretended not to hear.
I remembered that day Cao Cao fought the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao did not come out to meet the enemy, and finally scolded him out of the battle, and immediately ordered the soldiers to select more than 100 that could be said, and stood in front of the formation and scolded the generals. Those men are from Shandong, and they are also tongue-wrenching when they scold people, what are the "mothers", "you old turtle covers!", "mother's legs, grandmothers' feet"......
The soldiers scolded, and I asked the scolding to be brilliant, so I hit a gong and shouted the word "good". This time Ji Linghan choked enough, and sure enough, after a while, a general was killed from Ji Ling's army and wanted to fight Guan Yu.
Guan Yu said: "You are not my opponent, go back and call Ji Ling to come and have a duel with him." ”
The general said: "I am General Ji Ling's deputy general Xun Zheng, you are an unknown general, not General Ji's opponent, see me clean you up!"
Guan Gong was furious, slapped the horse and danced the knife, and took Xun Zheng directly, only to cut Xun Zheng under the horse. I pulled out my sword in my hand and shouted: "Kill me, the reward for killing Ji Ling is one hundred, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be sealed!"
So the soldiers marched forward as if they were not facing an army of 100,000, but 100,000 pigs. Ji Ling was defeated, retreated to the mouth of the Huaiyin River, and rejected our two armies.
After rejecting each other for more than a month, there was a moat in the Huai River, and many of the sergeants and soldiers of our army did not know the nature of water, so they did not dare to attack rashly. After a few more days, it was the rainy season, and it was raining in the sky. The south is humid, and it is not uncomfortable to cover people.
But at this time, Tanma reported: Yuan Shu claimed to have a jade seal in his hand, inherited the mandate of heaven, and obeyed the people of Limin, and actually proclaimed himself emperor. I listened to Liu Bei's strategy, reported the matter to the imperial court, and fooled Cao Cao to come together to crusade against the traitors.
On this day, the rain stopped for a while, but the scouts brought bad news, Yuan Shu led an army of 200,000 and came to conquer Xuzhou in seven ways. My Xuzhou is the closest to his territory, and the two sides are fighting each other, so he will attack me first. I was worried that it would be difficult to resist, but I heard that Lu Bu sent a strategist Chen Deng, saying that there was a good way to break the enemy.
Seeing Chen Deng, I hurriedly asked how to break the enemy, and Chen Deng said: "I have two strategies, and I will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shu." ”
I was overjoyed and asked, "What's the trick?"
Chen Deng said: "This first plan is to rebel. The generals of Yuan Shu's army, Han Xian and Yang Feng, were both former ministers of the Han Dynasty and were loyal to the imperial court. After Dong Zhuo's death, a few days ago, in order to protect Emperor Liu Xie, he fought a big battle with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and unfortunately lost to the enemy. Later, there was nowhere to go before I committed myself to Yuan Shu, and now we have the emperor's edict in our hands, I took it to rebel against these two people, and when the two armies faced each other, they suddenly turned against Yuan Shu, and the Yuan Shu army was bound to be in chaos, and we could defeat them in one go. ”
"Brilliant plan! So what's this second plan?"
"This second plan is a plan of hypocrisy and wrongdoing. General Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo successively, and his reputation was not very good. This time, General Lu and General Zhang Fei were asked to co-stage a play, pretending that the two broke up, and General Lu won Xuzhou. In this way, Yuan Shu will inevitably contact General Lu to attack you together, and the front and rear attacks will lead to a lack of generals and generals, and it will inevitably fail. ”
I was sweating profusely and said, "How about that?"
"Don't worry, general! General Lu naturally will not really attack the general, but pretend to attack the general, but send troops to detour to the road that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses must pass, and ambush here, Yuan Shu will definitely not be suspicious. When he finds out that there are more strange soldiers here, and it is too late to regret it, then the battle can be decided!"
"What a clever plan!" I clapped my hands and laughed, "It is said that these three kingdoms are a paradise for conspirators, and after listening to Brother Chen's words, it really cleared the clouds and fog, and made me suddenly open!"
"Three Kingdoms, what does this mean?" Chen Deng asked with a frown.
I smiled and said, "It's not convenient to say this now, but you'll know about it later." ”
