Chapter 2015 Painful words, almost like cracking canthus
Near Zhao Yun''s camp in Yuyang, Cao Jun''s corpses can be seen everywhere, lying on the ground in disorder, scarlet blood splattered everywhere, and the flags, weapons, and even limbs left along the way are here and there. One piece, submerged under the horseshoe.
In the original Zhao Yun camp, there were even more bones piled up. Those who were burned to death, those who were choked to death, and those who were killed were piled up layer by layer. Cao Jun who couldn''t get out was like ants on a hot pot, pushing and trampling each other, and there were all kinds of death.
Cao Jun was defeated!
Under the surprise attack of Zhao Yun and Gan Feng, plus the fire in Zhao Yun''s camp, the combined effect of the two is far more than just one plus one.
If you just set fire, under the orders of Xia Houyuan and those Cao veterans, even the Cao recruits will slowly obey the deployment, or put out the fire, or evacuate. If there were only Zhao Yun and Ganfeng''s attack, it is unlikely that Xia Houyuan could turn around and set up a formation based on the small defense of the camp...
But when the two came together, Xia Houyuan couldn''t pay at all. Because of the fire, there was no way to establish a complete formation to face Zhao Yun and Ganfeng, and because Zhao Yun and Ganfeng arrived in a blink of an eye, there was naturally no way to extinguish the flames. There is only one result left, a big defeat.
Not all of Xia Houyuan''s troops are cavalry, only a small half, and nearly two-thirds of the rest are infantry, and the only way for infantry to fight against cavalry is to form an formation. Without a backhand, he was directly overwhelmed, impacted, and smashed all the way!
In addition, Xia Houyuan himself has some self-knowledge towards Zhao Yun. If his men and horses are in order, Xia Houyuan still has some confidence to wrestle with Zhao Yun. But now it is obvious that there is no array, no formation, no terrain, no fortifications. Fortifications, if they are still dead in the camp, then there is really only death left.
The closer they got to Yuyang, the hussars began to roll to both sides, like waves, swallowing the fleeing Cao Jun in waves. Cao Jun has basically lost the ability to resist, either they just buried their heads and pouted their tails to escape, or they could only bear the impact of hussars and horses. Even those Cao soldiers who knelt down and surrendered were directly hit because they couldn''t hold their horses. , stepped into the dirt!
Xia Houyuan took the cavalry directly under him, and dared not enter the city directly from the west of the city, but went around the city and rushed to the east gate.
It’s okay, I’m not so stupid as an idiot…
If you enter directly from the west gate, there is not even a bit of buffer time, but if you go through the east gate, the huge city can act as a barrier and provide Xia Houyuan with some defensive protection. At least Xia Houyuan can walk close to the city wall, and Zhao Yun, Ganfeng and others will not do.
Cao Chun on the top of the city let down some thoughts, but at the same time, some anger rose.
Looking at the soldiers of the Cao family in the city abandoning their armor and being hunted down like pigs and dogs, even the other Cao soldiers who were not in any danger above the city for the time being, their morale would inevitably collapse, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad. Except for those with horses, most of the pawns without yards, er, without horses died or surrendered, and less than one-tenth of them could keep up with Xia Houyuan and others!
All of this was caused by this **** Xia Houyuan!
Cao Jun was originally proud, and he also had the capital of this pride.
After all, not everyone can kill Yuan Shu in the south, and Yuan Shao in the north, and also beat Qingzhou and Xuzhou with a lot of temper...
In history, the group of generals under Cao Cao had the self-confidence to be superior to me, and it was not without purpose to despise other generals, but now, such self-confidence has been shattered in front of General Hussars.
Cao Jun, who combines infantry and cavalry, can always find some advantages when fighting against soldiers in other regions, but when fighting against the cavalry generals, the equipment is suppressed, the force is suppressed, the mobility is suppressed, and the detection ability is suppressed. Repression, even IQ has been suppressed...
Damn Xia Houyuan!
This damned general Baidi!
That''s right, Cao Chun didn''t think it was his fault that he agreed to Xia Houyuan''s sending troops, but that he made the decision under Xia Houyuan''s pressing every step of the way, and the consequences of such a defeat were naturally Xiahouyuan''s responsibility!
The Cao family and the Xiahou family are indeed like brothers, but like most brothers, they can stand side by side in the face of foreign enemies, but once there are conflicts of interest, it is difficult to mix together.
The most fundamental reason is because of Cao Cao himself.
Cao Cao was originally the Xiahou family, and was adopted by the Cao family. Of course, such a thing was normal in the Han Dynasty, but now it is not the Xiahou family that is taking off, but the Cao family. Will the Xiahou family rise to some "I was first" Thoughts? Even if the Xiahou clan didn''t say anything, would people in the Cao clan think that Xiahou clan might have some ideas?
Especially when the interests are getting bigger and bigger, and the fertilizer and water are getting more and more, if you tilt it a little, the difference can be a lot. Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are close, but it does not mean that all the people of the Cao family are very close to the people of the Xiahou family...
It is very common to have disputes with each other. After all, brothers often fight from childhood to adulthood, not to mention the Cao family and Xiahou family who are only "as close as brothers".
『Order! Half open the east door! After General Xiahou entered the city, he quickly closed the city gate! ’ Cao Chun ordered.
Cao Chun doesn''t like Xia Houyuan, but he wants to save Xia Houyuan. Even Cao Chun knows that even if he saves Xia Houyuan, he may not be able to get Xia Houyuan''s gratitude...
Otherwise, Xia Houyuan would not be called General Baidi.
There were horseshoes in the city, wailing everywhere, Cao Chun stood at the head of Yuyang City, looking at the soldiers of Cao Jun who were killed and captured under the city, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his energy and physical strength seemed to have been exhausted, and his heart was empty , nothing, can''t think of anything.
This battle, yes, it was barely a victory, but it was no different from losing.
Zhao Yun and the others burned the camp, which naturally meant that Zhao Yun and the others really did not want to wait for long, and indeed retreated. From this point of view, keeping Yuyang was a natural victory for Cao Chun''s original goal. up.
However, everything else, lost...
The hussars who fell behind jumped off their horses, or rescued their comrades who were injured during the pursuit, or tied aside the surrendered soldiers of Cao Jun. It seemed that everyone did it naturally, smoothly, and completely scattered It''s like not having any defenses, but Cao Chun knew that if he really opened the city gate to attack, these guys would jump on the horses immediately, and they would gather into a powerful battle array in a blink of an eye.
Hussars!
Could it be that Cao''s natural nemesis?
Cao Chun sighed deeply.
Near Zhao Yun''s camp, the raging fire has not yet burned out, and it is still showing its teeth and claws. On the ground, half of Cao''s banner was licked by the flames, leaving a small half black on the ground, and then a leather boot stepped on it and stood still.
『I wanted to hunt a quail, but a monkey came... 』Sima Yi laughed and said, 『How, how......』
Zhao Yun looked at Gan Feng who was still running wild in the distance, and nodded, "Sima can make the first contribution in today''s battle. A certain will report to the lord, and there will be a reward..."
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for your love!" 』
Zhao Yun smiled, nodded slightly, and gave the order: "The order is passed on, no prisoners are to be killed, and all the wounded and captured soldiers will be sent to the city later..."
Sima Yi clapped his palms and smiled, "Wonderful!" As it is! Haha, let me have some fun too...」
Obviously, it would be a burden to take these Cao troops with us if we want to retreat back, so it is better to leave it to Cao Chun. Cao Chun had to accept it again. If he didn''t accept it, his morale would be lost. If he accepted it, he would lose morale as well. After all, he would survive if the hussars surrendered, so he wouldn''t think about fighting to the death.
『And you are...』Zhao Yun waved his hand, then got on his horse, and shouted in a deep voice: 『Come here, send an order, withdraw the troops! 』
Watching the hussars push a long line of Cao Jun captives and wounded to the bottom of the city, Cao Chun was a little nervous, wondering if Zhao Yun was going to use these Cao Jun as a shield to consume the city''s arrows and trees, but he heard the news The hussars and horses shouted in unison: "The name is tiger and leopard, but it is like a mouse!" A phase mouse has skin, but a human has no manners! Human beings have no manners, so why not die? 』
Cao Chun became dizzy for a while, and almost fell off the wall...
No matter what, dragons, tigers and leopards, uh, tigers and leopards riding across the battlefield, galloping and fighting, is a dream of Cao Chun, and as a dream, it is naturally gorgeous and beautiful, and it is not allowed to be tarnished, and it will definitely be insulted. Feel angry and hurt.
At least when Cao Cao raised his troops, the general situation in the world was like a turbulent wave, especially after the Suanzao Alliance, Cao Cao really gave many people the feeling that he came from the fate, the big man was already weak and dying, only Cao Cao stepped forward, Striving forward, overcoming thorns and thorns, as for Fei Qian at that time...
Who is that?
Who would have thought that flowers could grow in the barren places in the Northland?
As a result, the situation has taken a turn for the worse now, and the Cao family has lost consecutive battles. In the ensuing court disputes, many problems have been reflected. Now under Yuyang, the situation is even more serious. Ordinary soldiers are afraid of hussars and horses, just like they are afraid of beasts , in a slightly fiercer and more brutal battle, there are always more people fleeing than resisting...
Like a boxer, he sticks to his dream, works hard, and overcomes all difficulties to get on the ring, confidently thinking that if he hits one, he can beat the next one, but it turns out that the new opponent is not at the same level at all.
What are you fighting for?
All dreams have become empty words.
Of course, everyone knows that there is not that much difference between people. If you really fight for your life, you can drag some of the hussars to the underworld. No matter what, when the blood is on the rise, it can explode. The power is also amazing, but the problem is that when it is expanded to the entire Cao''s army, once something goes wrong, the fear will snowball like a snowball, and everyone is thinking "It''s impossible to win anyway, we No matter how hard you try, if other people don’t work hard, it’s not just death, but death in vain.” So it’s not surprising that the current situation has appeared.
Actually, if you look closely at the territory map of the Han Dynasty, you will find that such a phenomenon is not surprising at all. The more you are in the center of the territory of the Han Dynasty, such as Sili, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, etc., the smaller the county is, and it is common to see another county after ten miles. You belong to this county, I It''s that county...
But in border counties, it is often hundreds of miles, or even hundreds of miles, to form a county. Regardless of the county, you and I are all Han Chinese. Therefore, the closer people are to the border, the more they understand the need for unity to resist foreign enemies, and the more they are in the center, the more they are used to division...
When Fei Qian and Cao Cao began to confront each other, many soldiers in Bingzhou and Liangzhou at that time were still a little afraid. After all, the thinking patterns that have been passed down for many years are still there. Even when these soldiers in Bingzhou and Liangzhou were young, they were very envious. The Han people of Sili.
Even, a little scared.
Yes, dread.
In the final analysis, many people in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, were born in a place where Hu and Han were mixed. In other words, the area in the center of the Han Dynasty is like a magic capital, while Liangzhou and other places in Bingzhou are bumpkins.
The hillbillies, who have nothing to eat, drink nothing, dress like barbarians, and don’t even know a few words, all of which make them feel inferior, and then fear from inferiority.
Before the three-color flag of Feiqian was erected under the city of Xu County, under the consistent oppressive policy of the Central Court of the Han Dynasty, they even felt that those people in Jizhou and Yuzhou would be very powerful and difficult to fight, at least they must be stronger than those Hu It''s going to be harder...
However, after Xu County, when the hussar general Fei Qian led them to jump horses in Yuzhou and displayed them under Xu County, this kind of thinking really took a turn for the worse.
Under the hussars, they fought back and forth, the Qiang people and the Xianbei, and the northern Xinjiang and the southern Xinjiang. There were more people and more battles, and the vision was naturally broadened. When Zhao Yun and Sima Yi faced Yuyang again When Cao Jun was in charge, the overall momentum was completely different. Of course, they also knew that it would be difficult to take all of Jizhou and Yuzhou in one go. After all, the current climate is really abnormal, but with some thoughts, it is finally at this moment Start to germinate, brew...
The powerful place in my mind in the past is probably nothing now.
The truly powerful one should still be the tricolor flag, which is yourself!
『Wan Sheng! Victory! 』
The hussars shouted, and then drifted away.
This time, everyone knew that these hussars really left Yuyang and withdrew from the battlefield, but Yuyang, no matter who it was, had no intention of chasing and killing them.
Those who retreated gave out cheers of victory, while those who stayed behind in Yuyang seemed to have lost something...
Who is the tiger and leopard?
Who is Xiangshu again?
…o((⊙﹏⊙))o.…
Guanzhong.
Early morning.
Li Yuan staggered onto his Zhuangzi.
Li Yuan can be said to be the first batch of Guanzhong gentry who defected to Feiqian.
Bingzhou has a circle in Bingzhou, and Guanzhong naturally has a circle in Guanzhong. In each circle, this kind of communication within a small group is still the main source of information in this era. Of course, among these circles, there are also some primary and secondary ones. As for Li Yuan, there is no doubt that in the Guanzhong circle, he has some weight, but he is not the one with an important position.
In the cold spring weather, all the gentry who have some fields outside will naturally be a little worried. Except for some very few prodigal sons who don’t care about anything and only want to spend money, most of the gentry children, especially the head of the family Everyone in the world is very worried about such weather, but there are still many people who are lucky in their hearts, hoping that this kind of weather is just a temporary abnormality, and it will soon return to normal weather.
The steward of the manor had already greeted Li Yuan outside his clothes.
Many gentry do not know how to farm, so most of them will choose a steward to take care of the farm for themselves like Li Yuan, just like hiring a general manager of a company in later generations to be responsible for the internal and external affairs of the manor. The quality of a manager is naturally the amount of rent paid each year.
So at the moment, the steward of the manor felt somewhat uneasy.
At present, many Zhuanghe planted inside and outside Zhuangzi have been frozen to death. These frozen Zhuanghes are basically equivalent to being thrown into the water, and they can''t even hear a sound. They can only be buried in the soil at most, barely as Green manure, the loss is naturally not small.
Fortunately, this kind of loss was not caused by the manor''s steward''s mistake, and it wasn''t just Li Yuan''s family. Many nearby Zhuangzi also encountered the same thing, so the manor''s steward could have the courage to stand in front of Li Yuan, otherwise he would have knelt down He desperately begged for mercy.
After entering Zhuangzi, Li Yuan walked around, frowned, and said, "How about Zhuangzi next door?" 』
『Reporting to the Lord, the three nearby Zhuangzi are different, but as far as they are concerned, they are all damaged to some extent...』 The manager of the manor nodded and bowed, and explained while following closely behind Li Yuan.
Li Yuan walked into the field, stretched out his hand to pull up a plant of Zhuanghe, and looked at the young seedlings whose roots had rotted from the freezing. Even though he didn''t know much about farming and mulberry, he knew that although such seedlings didn''t look too obvious on the surface Variation, but is virtually dead and will soon all rot.
『Why didn’t you set up a brazier? Li Yuan said, "Don''t hussars have a saying that they can use the technique of scaffolding and set up a brazier inside to resist the frost and cold?" 』
"This...to my lord..." The steward lowered his head, "Originally the village had enough manpower, but General Hussar ordered some people to be transferred... so it was too busy... Besides, even if there was a brazier in the shed, In fact...Under this kind of weather, it is unavoidable...Moreover, it is necessary to build a shed and burn coal every day. I''m busy, should I hurry up to build it? Naturally, I''ll have to pay more... If it''s half built, and the weather gets better again, should I keep the shed or tear it down... It''s useless to keep it, and it will block the light, so I''ll tear it down Well, that is really a waste of time...』
It is difficult for Li Yuan to answer such a question.
The steward of the manor quickly raised his eyes to see Li Yuan''s expression, then lowered his head and said, "Actually, all the surrounding villages have the same idea... Besides, my lord, actually, this time of day, ahem... Speaking of it... it''s also a good thing... 』
