Chapter 1910 The teacher of benevolence and righteousness, Gong Jin''s talent
Below Jiangling City, the offensive seems to be continuing.
Cheng Pu looked at the figure in bright armor standing on the high platform far behind him, and frowned.
『Captain! The time has come! 』
The soldiers who were watching the engraving reported loudly.
Cheng Pu came back to his senses, looked at Jiangling City, raised his arms, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Attack!" 』
…(*dish`)…
"what is that? 』
Several soldiers stood on the top of the hill, pointing to some unusual movements on the hill in the distance ahead.
An older leader of the scouts looked closely, and couldn''t help but change his face, "No, the birds and beasts flew away, someone is coming!" Hurry up and report to the governor...」
…╰(‵ ′)╯…
Ta Dun looked at the forest in front of him, sitting unsteadily on the horseback, somewhat proud of himself.
According to Cao Cao, he wanted Ta Dun to cross the river and go to Jiangdong to plunder, but Ta Dun refused.
The leader of his subordinates didn''t seem to understand it very well, so he approached Ta Dun and asked, "Honorable Chanyu, didn''t you hear that Jiangdong has more money, food and grass?" why don''t we go 』
『What are you going to Jiangdong for? We are the sons of the earth, what are we without the earth? ’Ta Dun sneered twice, ‘Think about it, if we went to Jiangdong, and then that guy took the boat away, would we still be able to come back? This dwarf has no good intentions! 』
The leader of the Wuhuan tribe suddenly realized, and immediately praised Tadun.
Tadun laughed loudly: "Boys! work harder! We are almost at Gangneung! Jiangling also has a lot of money, food and grass, and a lot of delicate women! How much you can get depends on your skills! 』
『Oh ah oh oh! 』
The Wuhuan people responded one after another, and then startled many birds in the mountains and forests.
That''s right, the Wuhuan people refused to go south to Jiangdong, but chose to attack Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu in Jiangling.
However, from Hefei to Jiangling, the waterway is relatively wide. If it is land, you have to go over mountains and mountains. Fortunately, these mountains and forests are not as insurmountable as those in the Northwest, and the Wuhuan people can still pass through.
Three thousand men and horses pulled out a long queue and walked through the mountains and forests.
…╭(′▽`)╭(′▽`)╯…
Cao Cao was on the earthen platform, looking at Jiangxia City in the distance, then beckoned, and called Cao Pi: "Tell me, why don''t we go directly to Jiangdong?" 』
Cao Pi has experienced in the army for the past two years, and his skin color has darkened a lot. In addition, perhaps because of the heavy activities in the army, his stature has also become much taller. Suddenly, he looks almost like an adult.
Cao Pi gradually got used to being hanged up and beaten by Cao Cao from time to time, so he pondered for a moment and said: "It''s not him, there is no boat..."
Although Cao Cao has collected some ships, they are still not enough. It is probably no problem to transport two or three thousand people, but it is not enough to transport tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Cao Cao nodded, and asked again: "If there is a boat, can we attack Jiangdong?" 』
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, he really hadn''t thought about it, he frowned and remained silent.
Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but still looked up and looked into the distance, as if the screams and screams of those soldiers attacking the city in the distance were like music, happy and contented.
After a while, Cao Pi said slowly: "There are boats, so we can''t attack Jiangdong..."
『Why? ’ Cao Cao asked with a slight smile.
"If we attack Jiangdong, Xu County will definitely be empty..." Cao Pi said, and his eyes gradually gained some vigor, "If Sun Zhongmou breaks the boat and goes straight to the north, it will be like Xiang Yu fighting against Julu back then...But we may not be able to fight in Jiangdong However, I lost my foundation again, I’m afraid it’s too much to blame…”
Cao Cao laughed, nodded and said, "That''s right, that''s right... So even though Jiangdong is empty right now, it''s impossible to attack quickly..." To put it simply, although Sun Quan is leading a heavy army outside, if Cao Cao attacks Jiangdong and sends fewer people, it is equivalent to It''s a gift. If there are too many people, it is equivalent to changing the house.
Changing homes has always been a success, and even if the change is successful, Cao Cao changed from a relatively good area in Jizhou and Yuzhou in the Han Dynasty to the land of Sun Quan Jiangdong, which is a loss no matter what. Therefore, even if you clearly see that Jiangdong is empty, it is impossible to attack Jiangdong directly, but to eliminate Sun Quan first.
Only after defeating Sun Quan and the entire area is stabilized, can Cao Cao consider attacking Jiangdong Wujun and other places.
Cao Cao asked abruptly, "What do you think, Wuhuan attacked Jiangling?" 』
Cao Cao himself was prepared with both hands. The people of Wuhuan were willing to foolishly kill Jiangdong, which is naturally better. The so-called 50-50 split is just Cao Cao''s trick. The danger of Jiangdong is to discuss whether it is three-seven, two-eighth, or even one-nine. As long as he is fooled, Cao Cao will naturally get greater benefits than those mere property and food.
Tadun is not considered benzene, so he did not fall into Cao Cao''s first pit, but it is also not considered smart, because Tadun only saw the first pit, and then fell into the second pit.
That''s right, according to common sense, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Jiangdong army in Jiangling, Tadun led the Wuhuan people to surprise the Jiangdong army, and then naturally obtained a lot of money and supplies in the Jiangling area. Compared with the risk of going to Jiangdong It''s much smaller, but in fact it''s still a pit.
For Cao Cao, after Fei Qian left Heluo and returned to Guanzhong, the role of the Wuhuan people was greatly reduced, and they had to pay so much money, so they were naturally unhappy. At the same time, Jiangxia attacked the city. During the battle, the Wuhuan cavalry could not be used for anything, so they simply used the Wuhuan people to mobilize Jiangdong...
As for Wuhuan''s victory or defeat, Cao Cao actually didn''t care. It''s better to win, but it''s also good to lose.
Cao Pi thought for a long time, "I''m afraid it''s invincible..."
Cao Cao asked again with a smile, "If you can''t win, what should you do?" 』
Cao Pi’s eyeballs were moving left and right, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Father, what you mean is..."
『Hahaha...』 Cao Cao laughed, stroked his beard without answering.
…(^ω^`)…
『How far is this going? 』
Although the Wuhuan people were still excited at the beginning, as time passed, they gradually became tired from the boring and boring journey in the mountains and forests.
To go around Jiangxia to Jiangling, the easiest way is naturally to take a boat, but the journey is long and upstream, which is naturally quite difficult for the Wuhuan people, and there is only one more suitable way to pass through the mountains. That is to go from Anlu to Yundu and go out to Pangguo, then you can go straight to Jiangling.
The marching speed of the Wuhuan army was not fast, which made many Wuhuan people impatient. Some people began to urge them, but Tadun said that it is better to be careful. This route is like a pipe, slanting If it is placed between two mountain ranges, if it is blocked and the cavalry cannot move, it will be bad.
After walking for more than 20 miles, a sentry came to report that there was a small town ahead, which seemed to be called Yundu.
Tapun asked: "Did you find me waiting?" 』
Wuhuan Sentinel shook his head and said, "Nothing unusual, probably because we didn''t notice us coming..."
Ta was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to speed up, and under the cover of nightfall, they rushed straight to Yundu County.
Yundu County is a node in this natural pipeline, and to the north of Yundu County is Lvlin Mountain. It is said that during the time of Wang Mang, it was the place where the green forest raised troops. Of course, there is no way of knowing whether it is true or not, but one thing is certain, that is, in the green forest mountains, there are dense forests and deep vegetation.
Because of the constant disputes in the Jianghuai area, as early as Yuan Shu''s time, anyone who had some family property in this area had already run away with a bucket, and those who stayed were often those who could not walk, or ran away with a bucket. There is no capital, so there are not many people and soldiers in Yundu County, so there is no such thing as sending scouts to check around on weekdays.
The Wuhuan people rushed out from the deep twilight, Yundu County was caught off guard, and the gate was knocked open, and then the whole city fell.
The Wuhuan people roared excitedly. For them, the little Yundu City was like the first war dividend they got. Victory and a bright future were right in front of them, making them so excited that they couldn’t control themselves , Shouting loudly, galloping on horses, smashing all over the city, smashing open doors, rushing into houses, looting utensils, venting animal desires, from night to dawn, it is considered a little calm.
Ta Dun was naturally in a good mood, spread out into a big character and fell into a deep sleep, beside the soles of his feet were a few weak women who were newly snatched, with bruises curled up and trembling...
A war horse suddenly raised its head, stood up its neck and looked into the distant night. Immediately, the war horses who were resting together seemed to have discovered something, and began to stand up, and some were roaring uneasy, but those The Wuhuan people, who had been partying all night, were extremely relaxed physically and mentally, and at dawn, everyone was sleeping like dead pigs, and they didn''t immediately notice the abnormal behavior of the war horse.
A few Wuhuan soldiers on guard were also leaning against the wall, or huddled in a corner, nodding their heads up and down, drowsy and half asleep.
In the chilly wind of autumn dawn, there seems to be some sharp taste floating out...
The restlessness of the war horse became louder and louder, and some small vibrations and sounds gradually spread. In the darkness that did not recede, something seemed to be moving, staring viciously at the Wuhuan people in Yundu.
Suddenly, the drums of war roared from the sky, as if countless soldiers rushed out from the green forest mountains, heading straight for Yundu!
The Wuhuan sentinel who was on duty was awakened, and then stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at the charging pawns. After a long pause, he hurriedly grabbed the bull horn on his waist, and slammed it into his mouth desperately. He even broke his lip because he hit it too hard, and traces of blood flowed down with the sound of the horn.
Ta Dun jumped up from his sweet dream dangling naked, then shook his head and looked around, as if he was confirming his location. After a while, he woke up more or less, and yelled to ask what happened.
『Enemy attack, enemy sneak attack...』
The terrified and shrill cry instantly tore through the darkness, accompanied by the first ray of sunlight.
Ta Dun kicked away a trembling woman beside the bed, and then just had time to pull on the leather robe before rushing out the door, draped it on her body and shouted: "Blow the horn!" Trumpet! quick! Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! 』
With a slap, the horn soldier who had just got up outside the door staggered, and shouted viciously: "Quickly blow the horn!" Otherwise, I will kill you! 』
Finally, the horn sounded to represent the assembly to meet the enemy, and then the chaotic and scattered ones sounded successively in various parts of the city. The Wuhuan soldiers who had been crazy all night were awakened from their sleep, and then got up sleepily one by one, dizzy I can''t find the southeast and northwest.
Ta Dun saw the Han soldiers rushing out of the green forest mountains, he couldn''t help being angry and shocked. These cunning Han people actually hid in the mountains, and when they were most paralyzed, they stretched out their knives and guns!
Ta Dun shouted: "Kill! Go straight out! Can''t be in the city, kill it! 』The enemy came too suddenly, and the distance between them was too close. There was no time for me to organize the formation and organize the defense, so I could only fight directly and rush out to get more room for movement.
…(〃>dish<)…
Zhou Yu looked at Yundu County at the foot of the mountain expressionlessly.
Zhou Yu also wanted to copy Cao Cao''s retreat, so he asked Cheng Pu to use his banner, and then in order not to let Cao Cao notice, he deliberately abandoned the boat and walked in the mountains and forests to hide his whereabouts. I met the Wuhuan people.
It''s just that unlike the careless Wuhuan people, Zhou Yu''s scouts noticed the abnormal phenomenon of the forest bird flying startled, and notified Zhou Yu in time.
Thus, Yundu County became a piece of bait to lure the Wuhuan people. Yundu County is surrounded by mountains on one side, and has city gates on three sides. Because it is close to the mountain, the city is not too big, and it is in the middle of the mountain city. Because it is convenient to use local materials, many people build houses with thatched bamboo and wood structures.
In fact, the structure of most of the cities near the mountains in the Han Dynasty was similar. After all, it is more convenient to cut down bamboo and wood in the mountains, but if it is said that rammed earth and stones are used as the structure of the house, then it is not something that poor people like Yundu can afford. of.
In Yundu City, there are some common people, but not too many. There was no county magistrate, only a lame county lieutenant was left, and with more than 20 veterans, Zhou Yu opened the city gate without any resistance when he came...
When Zhou Yu left Yundu, he ordered his soldiers to disperse into the surrounding mountains and forests, and picked up some dry firewood and dry branches, saying that it was to save the people in Yundu City from hard work, and even sent someone to clean the city. Inside and outside…
The people of Yundu stared blankly at the Jiangdong soldiers who were busy, piling up dry firewood on both sides of the street and under the eaves, and didn''t even want anything from them, nor accepted their retention, so the people of Yunshe were very grateful It means that the Jiangdong soldiers are unparalleled in virtue and virtue, and they have never committed any crimes. They are simply an army of benevolence and righteousness that is rare in the world.
『Benevolence and Righteousness... This world...』 Zhou Yu sneered, 『Decree! attack! 』
Huang Gai''s face was full of murderous intent, menacing, with guns in both hands, he raised his head and yelled, "Kill!" kill..."
The Jiangdong soldiers also roared, waving their knives and guns, like a surging tide, divided into three sides and rushed straight to Yundu County, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering, and the sound shook the sky.
The soldiers of Wuhuan were frightened by the surging Han soldiers. They were panicked, shocked, and terrified. They ran back and forth on the streets of Yundu in a panic. Under the command of the sound of horns, the heads of the ministries tried to calm down and kept shouting loudly to summon their subordinates, but it was too late...
In the blink of an eye, the impact formations in three directions were like three hammers thrown with all their strength, making a deafening roar, roaring and slamming heavily into the unformed formation of the Wuhuan people, and will continue to surge. The Wuhuan people who came out were blocked near the city gate!
Huang Gai leaped high, then swept and stabbed with his long spear, stabbing two Wuhuan soldiers who were running back to avoid the impact. The Jiangdong soldiers behind Huang Gai rushed forward in layers, wantonly trampling the Wuhuan soldiers who couldn''t run or get out.
The Wuhuan people were running, screaming, flying in the air, and groaning under the swords and guns.
Jiangdong soldiers were slashing, roaring, squeezing the space of the Wuhuan people bit by bit, blocking them so that they couldn''t move. They could only sit on their horses and roar angrily but could do nothing.
A Wuhuan headman tried to ram his horse into a path, but before he could run with his horse, his horse''s leg was cut off by several Jiangdong soldiers. Flying out of inertia, he fell to the ground, and before he got up, several spears had already pinned him to the ground!
There were also a few Wuhuan people who boasted of their bravery, and their horses were unable to move, so they simply jumped off their horses and tried to fight Jiangdong soldiers on the ground. Even though the Wuhuan people fought like crazy, they died one after another under the siege of Jiangdong soldiers.
Ta Dun took a dozen guards and fought and left, ready to rush out of the city gate and flee back to Jiangxia Cao Cao''s side, but the Jiangdong soldiers they fought all the way in followed closely. Huang Gai rushed to the front, keeping his guns close to the enemy''s vital points. The Jiangdong soldiers followed behind him in a line, and the soldiers who couldn''t squeeze forward kept shooting cold arrows at the Wuhuan people, causing them to stun for a while. Unable to rush out!
『Come on! set fire! 』Zhou Yu, who was on the hillside of the green forest, saw that the Wuhuan people had been completely blocked in Yundu City, so he ordered in a deep voice.
『Captain! But in the city..." The military marquis at the side hesitated a bit, then saw Zhou Yu''s gaze turned, and shuddered, "I obey the order! 』
The firewood torches thrown into Yunshe City quickly ignited many wooden and bamboo houses in the city, as well as dry firewood and dead branches piled up on the streets and under the eaves. The Wuhuan people were in a panic, like ants on a hot pot, at a loss!
