Text Chapter 19 Lu Xiong sent troops to fight in the Western Zhou Dynasty Ziya's practice of freezing Qishan
Taishi Wenzhong is in charge of the government in Chaoge, and there is an order. The www.biquge.info was dealing with military affairs one day, and received an urgent military situation from Zhang Guifang, the chief soldier of Bishui Pass, Han Rong, and reported it to the Taishi Mansion. "Busy heralds, drums and drums.
The three-way drum sounded, and a group of cadres gathered in the Yin'an Hall to consult the Taishi. Wen Zhongdao: "The day before yesterday, I invited the four friends of Kowloon Island to assist Zhang Guifang, but unexpectedly three were killed one after another. Now Zhang Guifang is difficult to support alone, Li Xing's domineering friends are lonely and difficult to speak, generals, who can share the worries of the country and help Zhang Guifang to break Xiqi?" ”
Wen Zhong saw that it was Lu Xiong, his head was pale, and he said: "The old general is old, and he is afraid that he will not have enough strength to spare. Lu Xiong said with a smile: "Taishi, although Zhang Guifang is young, he has suffered repeated defeats, and he has no one in his eyes because of his secret skills. The wind forest is the talent of the horseman, so there is a disaster of losing one's body. But where the general marches, first observe the sky, and then look at the location, and know the people. Use it with text, use it with force, keep it quiet, and move it. Death can survive, death can live, weak and strong, soft and strong, dangerous and safe, disaster and blessing, unpredictable, decisive victory, from the sky, from the earth, omniscient, 100,000 people, all ineffective, the scope is curved, each is extremely wonderful. The law of nature is determined by the opportunity to decide the winner, and the power of God to use it is the wisdom of the inexhaustible, which is the way to pass. Although the old man is old, as long as he leads the army, Keri can win. Please choose one or two to join the army, and the major events can be determined. ”
When Wen Zhong heard this, he thought: "Although Lu Xiong is old, he is more capable and extremely loyal than Zhang Guifang's troops, so he must be able to win." Then he thought: "Fei Zhong and You Hun are in the court, and they have a lot of constraints on my government." Lu Xiong wants to join the army, so it is better to let Fei Zhong and You Hun go. At that moment, Lu Xiong was ordered to be the marshal of the Second Road in the West, leading 50,000 soldiers and horses to station in Xiqi.
He also ordered Fei Zhong and You Hun to join the army. The Military and Political Secretary led the two ministers to the front of the palace, Fei Zhong and You Hun saw that the Taishi had finished saluting, and Wen Zhong said: "Fang Jinzhang Guifang lost his chance, Fenglin was killed, Lu Xiong hung the second marshal to assist, and two less joined the army." The old man called the two doctors and named them to join the army, counsellor for machine maintenance, and conquered Xiqi. On the day of the spinning master, his contribution is great. ”
Fei and You listened to it, and they were so frightened that they went out of their bodies, and hurriedly said: "The Taishi is above, and the two lowly officials are civil officials, who are not familiar with military affairs, and they are afraid of misleading the country's important affairs." Taishi said: "The two of you have the ability to adapt to changes and the wisdom of current affairs, so you don't have to be modest, go quickly to meet General Lu and go to Xiqi to break the enemy!" Fei and You had to excuse themselves, Wen Zhong slapped the handsome case, and shouted: "Bold! Now the country is in difficulty, and all the southeast, northwest, and northwest are rebelling, and the two of you, as a doctor, should be the auxiliary monarch for the country, how can you be afraid and difficult to shirk? If you shirk it again, you will be beheaded by Yuanmen!"
Fei and You were frozen by Wen Zhong's words, and they had no choice but to take the seal in their hands and go out of the house.
Early the next morning, Wen Zhong sent a military talisman, Lu Xiong chose an auspicious day to sacrifice Baoxu, kill cattle and horses, resigned Wen Zhong, and ordered the army to rise.
At this time, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather was very hot, the three armies were single-clothed, walking all the way, the military horses were sweating in the rain, and everyone was breathing, out of the five passes, all the way. As soon as I arrived at Bishui Pass, there was already a report from Tanma: "General Zhang lost his plane and died." The first order is at the east gate of Xiqi, and the whole army is annihilated, so please decide on the military order. Lu Xiong was shocked when he heard the report, and said: "Zhang Guifang is dead, the whole army is wiped out, and the Xiqi soldiers are prosperous. Ask the pioneer officer: "What is the place outside the Bishui Pass?" The pioneer officer said: "Fifty miles out of the Bishui Pass is Xiqi Mountain." Lu Xiong ordered: "The soldiers and horses marched to Xiqi Mountain and camped in the depths of the dense forest. "Urgently ordered the military and political secretary to revise the documents and report the death of Zhang Guifang in the court.
Since Jiang Ziya beheaded Zhang Guifang, he was overjoyed when he saw that the brothers surnamed Li had all gone to Xiqi. One day, Jiang Ziya was promoted to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a horse came into the mansion: "There is a branch of men and horses camping in Xiqi Mountain." Jiang Ziya pinched his fingers and counted it, and he knew the details. Xin said: "The day before yesterday, Bai Jian came to report that the Fengshen Platform had been completed, and the Fengshen List had been hanging for many days, and now he was about to sacrifice the altar, and it happened that Lu Xiong had arrived. The herald: "Order Nangong Shi and Bukit to order 5,000 men and horses to camp in Qishan." Don't send troops to fight, just block the main road, and don't call Lu Xiong to enter the army. The second general received the order, and then ordered the men and horses out of the city.
When I went up to Qishan, I saw a group of people and horses that were the color of the soup. Nangong Shi played against Anxia Camp. Because the dense woods were occupied by Lu Xiong, he had to camp in a sparse wooded place. The weather was hot, the three armies could not stand, and the air was like a fire.
Wu Ji said to Nangong Shi: "The prime minister ordered the two of us to go out of the city and camp here, the weather is hot, and there are no trees to cover it, I am afraid that the three armies will complain." Or report to the prime minister, and go to another place to go to the village. "Nangong is suitable for saying yes, repair this chapter, and send it into the city.
Early the next morning, a senior general Xin Jia went to the camp to meet and passed down Jiang Ziya's military order: "Order to transfer men and horses to the top of Qishan to set up camp." When the second general heard this, he was very surprised, and said: "At this time, the weather is unbearably hot, and I still go to the top of the mountain, I am afraid that the soldiers will all die of heat in three days." Xin Jia said: "Prime Minister Jun's order, how dare you disobey the order?" The second general had no choice but to order troops to go up the mountain.
The three soldiers and horses were uncomfortably hot, panting for breath and sweating like rain. There is no water source on the top of the mountain, burying the pot to make rice, and it is very inconvenient for the military horses to be used, and the sergeants complain a lot.
Lu Xiongtun's soldiers were in the depths of the dense forest, and when he saw someone camping on the top of Qi Mountain, he couldn't help laughing: "It is said that Jiang Ziya is well versed in the art of war, good at knowing military opportunities, and using soldiers like gods, I can't see it." At this time, the weather was so hot, camping on the top of the mountain, there was no forest to shelter, and it was not convenient to get water, but I was afraid that it would not take three days, and the Xiqi soldiers would be defeated without a fight. "Just wait for Chaoge to send reinforcements again, and wait until the heat is a little relieved, and then enter Xiqi.
Another day later, Jiang Ziya personally led 3,000 men and horses out of the city and went out to Xiqi. Nangong Shi and Bukit went down the mountain to welcome Jiang Ziya up the mountain, joined forces, 8,000 men and horses, and set up a curtain on the mountain.
Jiang Ziya ascended to the throne and ordered: "Wu Ji will lead a hundred troops, and build an earthen platform behind the camp, with a radius of ten zhang and a height of three feet, without delay." "Bukit commanded.
Jiang Ziya said again: "The former, the two of you said that the weather is hot, and it is inconvenient to garrison the army, I have prepared in Xiqi, and Xin Wu will escort things over when he is young." "Not long after, the mountain Xin Fu had arrived, and Jiang Ziya ordered to move to the camp and distribute it to the army.
Everyone had one each, and when they received it, they stood for a long time. It turned out that the package contained a padded jacket, a pair of cotton pants, and a thickened quilt, one for each person. Some soldiers laughed: "The prime minister is over 80 years old this year, isn't he old and confused, he didn't say anything about giving some anti-heat medicine on this hot day, but instead gave him cotton clothes and quilts, this is because I am afraid that we will not die!"
Not to mention that the sergeants were surprised, but only said that the day was the first watch, Bukit returned the order, and the earth platform was completed. Jiang Ziya came to the stage, put on his sword, looked at East Kunlun and bowed, and prayed secretly: "Teacher, disciple Jiang Shang sacrificed to the god platform today, officially implemented the mandate of heaven, and performed the great event of the gods, and specially told the teacher." "Stand up, chant a mantra in your mouth, move the stars and turn the bucket, and change the four hours.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds will meet, and the wind will blow. Lu Xiong was in the tent, heard the sound of the wind, went out of the camp to see, there was no heat, and said with great joy: "It's really a good wind." If Wen Taishi points troops out of the customs, catch up with this good weather, raise troops to eliminate rebellion, and just fight. Fei Zhong and You Hun said: "The Son of Heaven is blessed with the sky, so there is a cool breeze to help." ”
The wind blew for a day and a night, and when it was dawn, a little snowflake fell in the air, and the temperature dropped sharply. Cheng Tang soldiers each complained: "I'm waiting for a single iron armor, how can I endure this cold and severe cold?" After another two hours, the scattered snowflakes were already goose feathers and heavy snow, like pear blossoms dancing, and the north wind was howling, like a cold and severe winter.
Lu Xiong said to Fei and You in the army: "July is in ambush, and heavy snow falls in the sky, which is rare in the world. "Lu Xiong is old, how can he bear such cold. Fei and You had nothing to do, and the three armies of Cheng Tang were so cold that they shivered and couldn't stand.
The Xiqi soldiers on the top of the mountain all wore cotton clothes and wrapped in quilts, and there was no obstacle in the severe winter and autumn.
After three days of heavy snowfall, Jiang Ziya asked Bukit on the Dharma platform, "How deep is the snow?" and Bukit replied: "The top of the mountain is two feet deep, and the wind and snow at the foot of the mountain are four or five feet deep." Jiang Ziya nodded, and did it again, scattering the dark clouds in the sky, revealing a red sun. When a round of fire umbrellas was empty, the snow turned into water in an instant, and they all rushed down the mountain.
Lu Xiong's army is in the recess of the mountain, the water gathers but does not disperse, and the water on the flat ground is four feet deep. Jiang Ziya looked at it from afar, and was busy sending out the sigils, and the wind blew again, lowering the temperature. I saw that the clouds were overcast, covering the sun, and the wind was freezing wildly, and immediately froze Qishan into an iceberg. Jiang Ziya went out of the camp to see the commercial camp, and saw that the tent was crooked and the flag was down, so he ordered Nangong Shi and Wu Ji to "bring a hundred sword and axe men down the mountain into the commercial camp and bring the first general." "The second general will go down the mountain and enter the camp. Seeing that the three armies were frozen in the water, there were many dead. See also Lu Xiong, Fei Zhong, and You Hun in the Chinese army. Immediately, he ordered the knife and axe hand to come forward and arrest it, as if he was taking something in his bag, and caught the three of them up the mountain to see Jiang Ziya.
