Chapter 1788 Small dishes, big dishes
The Yi people are generally still in a state of semi-nomadic and semi-farming, so they are not as short of meat as farmers and peasants in the Central Plains of China, and the proportion of night blindness is naturally lower than that in the Central Plains. Of course, this is not absolute, whether it is The lower classes in that country or region also do not have the capital to take in any nutrients, and it is already a luxury to be able to eat enough.
On weekdays, the class hierarchy of these Yi people is more serious than that of the Chinese Han, and there are even some legacy of bloodlines left over from ancient times. Therefore, if the middle and lower-level Yi people want to obtain some excess wealth, most of them can only rely on external resources. battle.
So when the barbarians set off first, they didn''t have the dignity of going to the battlefield, but with anticipation and enthusiasm, and many people were smiling. It seemed that this would change their lives, at least, change their hungry bellies .
Between the mountains and forests, the straight line looks short, but it is not so close when walking. It is not uncommon for people to walk around for only a few hundred feet and end up walking a mile or two, but most of these barbarians I am used to walking between the mountains and forests, so I don''t have any complaints. In addition to such a large group of people walking, any beasts with a little bit of intelligence will run away from them far away, while ordinary bugs and so on There are relatively few winter days, and secondly, these Yi people also know how to repel insects, so on the whole, marching is indeed a piece of cake for these Yi people.
After the side dishes are eaten, it’s time to serve the big dishes. Or it is what the Yi people think of as a big dish.
There are indeed many trails in the mountains and forests, but these trails either have no water source or need to climb rocky cliffs, which are not suitable for a large number of soldiers to move forward, so in fact, there is only one road that was opened up at an unknown time. Winding forward, naturally there is no need to worry about the barbarians going the wrong way, and there is no need to worry about missing the army from Sichuan...
In fact, the same is true. Less than three days after departure, and just after leaving the Jianning Realm, they bumped into a small camp that seemed to be newly built.
Yong Kai followed Gao Ding. After receiving the information, he originally thought whether to inform Liu Fan who was further behind, wait for the rear team, and then launch an attack or something, but turned around and found that Gao Ding Troops have begun to gather in front, and the attack will soon be launched!
Yong Kai''s eyes widened. Was Gao Ding so brave?
I only heard someone screaming in a panic in the newly built camp, and then some scattered arrows flew out. Although they shot about a dozen barbarians, they could not stop the rest of the barbarians. Yong Kai even saw Gao Holding a long-handled saber, he was standing at the forefront!
The barbarians who rushed to the front had already knocked off the antlers, and were chopping down the ropes and nails of the camp, and they were about to rush into the camp!
Liu Fan, who came slowly from the rear, couldn''t help being surprised, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Yi people were good at fighting, but he also felt that it might be just a false name, but seeing the Yi people so brave today, he couldn''t help being stunned. He also ordered that his subordinates join the battle and break through the camp together!
Yong Kai couldn''t help feeling a little dazed, this...
Aren''t you two at odds?
Why did you immediately cooperate like this when you saw the enemy?
I knew so...
Yong Kai himself has no actual experience in commanding operations, nor does he understand the way of thinking of the barbarians, so he naturally has no way to understand Gao Ding and Liu Fan''s choice.
As a high-definition, the Yiren itself is a scattered structure, let alone a neat and orderly battle formation, so it is not possible for the Yiren to disrupt the battle at the beginning and regroup after a period of time. How much combat power is strengthened, on the contrary, it will give the opponents in the camp more time to prepare and defend, it is better to attack directly without saying a word.
As for Liu Fan, it''s even simpler. The Yiren rushed to the front of the camp wall in just such a short time, which shows that there is not much resistance in the camp. Shall we all rush into the camp and then go forward?
Therefore, under Yong Kai''s doubts and incomprehension, Liu Fan and Gao Ding''s people joined hands in a rare way, quickly knocked down the outer wall of the camp, and then swarmed in!
From the start of the battle to the decision of the battle, it took less than three hours, and the camp was already broken in the afternoon.
Before the dilapidated camp, Liu Fan took the initiative to find Gao Ding, and was going to say a few soft words to ease the previous relationship. After all, looking at it today, these short and thin barbarians are also good fighting power. Invite them to help, as much as possible...
As a result, before Liu Fan could speak, Gao Ding had already wiped his weapon and said, "Today''s camp is for someone to get first!" Don''t come here to claim credit! The goods and utensils in the camp must be 70%! 』
Liu Fan couldn''t get his breath straight, and wished he could draw out his knife and chop this guy down.
Does Couture not understand the importance of cooperation? No, but Gao Ding still wants to say the ugly things first, mainly because the Yi people don''t know what is strategy and what is long-term. For these Yi people, what they grab is the most real and reliable , so if Liu Fan proposes an equal share or something, it will not only make these barbarians dissatisfied, but more importantly, it will hit Gao Ding''s reputation as the leader of the barbarians!
A leader who cannot fight for the interests of the barbarians is a fart leader? !
So many things are not decided by the head, but by the butt.
Yong Kai, who had just come from a survey, seemed to have **** **** again, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, but saw Liu Fan reaching out to stop him, and said to Gao Ding: "In this way, if someone conquers the stronghold first, it will be the same." A certain 70%? 』
Gao Ding thought for a while, then nodded, stretched out a hand and said, "That''s it! The first attack gets seven, and the assister gets three. If you overcome it alone, you don''t need to divide it! 』
"Can! ”Liu Fan and Gao Ding patted each other, and then they didn’t bother about the money, they turned around and asked, “Didn’t you hear that the main general in the camp was captured?” 』
Gao Ding nodded, and then shouted: "Come on, bring the enemy general!" 』
Yong Kai saw it, he couldn''t help being taken aback, and blurted out: "Li Deang? ! 』
Li Hui actually wrote a letter to his uncle Cuan Xi immediately after leaving Dingze, and had someone send it day and night...
Cuan Xi is Li Hui''s uncle, and also a powerful man in Nanzhong, and his influence is not small.
Now Li Hui has few soldiers and little money and food. If he wants to restore Jianning, he must borrow some help from others, and it is obviously the best choice for him to disappoint Cuan Xi.
But the problem is that Cuan Xi is not young anymore, and once a person is old, he doesn''t like to make troubles, or the desire to take risks is not so strong, so Cuan Xi is also hesitant, and did not give Li Hui an answer immediately.
Li Hui had no choice but to rely on his number of subordinates, not to mention recovering Jianning, even self-protection would be dangerous, so he didn''t dare to step into Jianning like this, so he set up an army on the border of Jianning. Yingzhai, waiting for Cuan Xi''s reply, unexpectedly it was Gao Ding and Liu Fan who were waiting.
Yong Kai called out, Gao Ding also took a closer look, and finally recognized Li Hui, looking at the dirty and embarrassed Li Hui, Gao Ding laughed, very happy: "You also have today!" Haha, hahaha...』As the leader of the barbarians, Gao Ding has dealt with Li Hui a lot. In the conflicts between barbarians and Han people, he is at a disadvantage most of the time and has suffered a lot, although it is not as if he is an enemy. , but seeing Li Hui''s unlucky appearance, he was naturally overjoyed.
Liu Fan stood aside without saying a word. After all, he is also the governor of Jiaozhou conferred by the imperial court. Although the current offensive among the princes has disrupted the court rules, the ugly cloth still needs to be hung up. Lessons learned from the past, like Yuan Shu, who is completely unruly, has turned into ashes and is cast aside by others, so even if Cao Cao beats Yuan San, he must show that he is following the will of Han Emperor Liu Xie. For Liu Fan, it is natural He didn''t have anything in his hands, so he was like a bystander, saying that he was just here to eat melons.
Sure enough, this melon tastes really good.
Li Hui didn''t spit and grind his teeth frequently, or swear at him like a loyal man. On the contrary, he was very knowledgeable and answered questions.
There is a future with life. If life is gone, what is the future? Li Hui obviously thought so, so his attitude satisfied Gao Ding and the others, and it also confirmed once again what Liu Fan''s envoys said before was true.
『It turns out that these people are not from Xu Yuanzhi...』 Liu Fan didn''t know how to describe the emotion in his heart. At the beginning, seeing the barbarians conquering the camp so quickly, Liu Fan felt that the Hussar General was no more than mediocre, but when he found out that Li Hui was not only defeated by Liu Bei, but even his soldiers were recruited near Dingze I couldn''t help but mention it again in my heart as a new recruit.
The excitement of the first victory also faded a lot. Thought it was a big dish, it turned out to be fake...
Gao Ding didn''t kill Li Hui. On the one hand, it was because Li Hui was not Xu Shu''s striker, so even if he killed him, he would not be able to attack Xu Shu. Zhong Haoqiang, keeping Li Hui is to save the last face, so that the two sides will not insist on fighting to the death, there is still room for relaxation.
Liu Fan didn''t care about Li Hui either, he cared more about Xu Shu and others who followed up, especially Liu Bei''s move to let Li Hui back, is it really just to show his "benevolence"?
Liu Fan doesn''t believe that there is such a thing as "benevolence". Even if there is, it must be because the superiors really can''t eat it or have no time to eat it, so they throw it out. Then why did Liu Bei let Li Hui come here in advance, and then told him Did Li Hui know these things about Xu Shu in Sichuan and Shu?
Could it be that Liu Bei actually intends to...
...(;￣ェ￣)...
Twenty miles away from the city gate of Dingruo, Liu Bei stood respectfully by the side of the official road, letting the cold winter wind blow his robes and cloak into chaos.
It''s like Liu Bei''s mood.
Hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly, waiting quietly.
It may look like they are showing off their military power, but in fact, if you observe carefully, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers are not showing off or proud, but a little worried and uneasy.
Guan Yu was still as stable as a mountain, motionless, while Zhang Fei was already walking back and forth, almost stepping on the side of the road to create a new path.
Xu Shu didn''t say a word, but suddenly came to Dingruo, no matter what, it made Liu Bei and others'' hearts beat endlessly. Although nothing seemed to indicate that Xu Shu was here to deal with Liu Bei, there was still a lot of pressure on Liu Bei.
After much deliberation, Liu Bei still felt that although he had made some small actions, even if he was discovered, it was not a very important thing, and it was not a big deal. What is it, only...
Now the question is, does Xu Shu know everything?
When he learned that Xu Shu was going to come to Dingze, Liu Bei also made a lot of preparations, especially to appease and encourage the old and new soldiers, generals and schools one by one, so as to reassure the army. On the other hand, he quietly gathered his closest troops, They were quietly dispatched to the west camp of Dingze City.
If the situation is not right, you can immediately find an opportunity to get away, and if Xu Shu is blocked in Dingruo City, it is really a headache even if you run away without soldiers.
Then he was busy letting Jian Yong handle all the accounts and supplies, counting and making books, etc., making sure that everything was prepared properly, without leaving any stupid omissions and handles. After checking again, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to greet Xu Shu.
In short, Liu Bei believes that Xu Shu may feel that he is a bit out of line, and he is somewhat wary, but now that he is facing the Jianning rebellion, it is mainly an opportunity to take a detour to surprise Jianning, and come to deter himself so that he can be safe. nothing happens...
In any case, Jianning should be what Xu Shu is facing now, and it is also a matter that needs to be dealt with urgently. As for himself, as long as he behaves a little more humbly and calmly, naturally there will be no problem.
How about pretending to be crazy and being stupid? Ha ha, this is a piece of cake for Liu Bei, and it is not difficult.
Although Liu Bei didn''t have much expression on his face, his heart was still tossing and turning, and his hands felt a little wet.
Guan Yu stood silently behind Liu Bei, his face still sinking like water.
Zhang Fei still walked up and down.
I don''t know how long I waited until the sun gradually deviated from the center line and started to head west. Suddenly, a few vanguard scouts rushed from the mountain road, panting heavily from a distance, and shouted: " coming! coming! 』
For a while, Liu Bei only felt that the air around him seemed to condense here!
It wasn''t until the scouts covered in dust and sweat rushed to the front and reported again, that Liu Bei seemed to break free from the solidified air, and ordered the surrounding soldiers to reorganize their formation, and he rearranged his clothes again, his face moved. Squeezed out some smiles...
On the mountain road in the distance, flying dust gradually rose up, and then a three-color flag jumped out from the end of the mountain road, in the hustle and bustle!
