Chapter 79 Zhengwu
Cao Cao said, "Very good!" So he led the army to retreat from the endless and left a big wooden sign by the roadside by the water, which said: "Now summer is hot and the road is impassable. Let's wait until autumn and winter to send troops to fight." When the reconnaissance cavalry of the Wuhuan people saw it, they really thought that Cao's army had left.
Cao Cao ordered Tianchou to lead his followers as a guide, go up Xu Wushan, chisel the mountain to fill the valley, travel more than 500 miles, pass through Baitan and Pinggang, and through the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, and point east to Liucheng. More than 200 miles away, the Wuhuan people knew it. Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and Tatun, as well as Liaoxi Shanyu Louban and Youbeiping Shanyu Nengchen, led tens of thousands of cavalry to meet Cao's army. In August, Cao Cao climbed the White Wolf Mountain and suddenly met the Wuhuan army, and the Wuhuan army was strong. Cao's vehicles were all behind, and there were few soldiers in armor. Cao Cao's left and right were afraid. Cao Cao climbed high and saw that although there were many Wuhuan's army, but the array was not good, he ordered General Zhang Liao to be the vanguard and take the opportunity of the change of the Wuhuan army to launch a fierce attack. Wuhuan was suddenly impacted, and the situation was chaotic. Zhang Liao was killed in the battle.[6] It was said that Cao Chun's tiger and leopard was captured and beheaded.[7] Wuhuan soldiers died all over the field. Cao Cao waved his army to pursue and surrendered more than 200,000 people in Hu and Han, and won a complete victory. Yuan Shang and others defected to Gongsun Kang in Pingzhou (now north of Liaoyang, Liaoning). In September, Cao led his army back from Liucheng and went through hardships all the way. At that time, it was cold and there was a great drought. There was no water for 200 miles, and the army lacked food, so it had to kill thousands of war horses as military food and dug more than 30 feet to see water. In the first month of the following year, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.
Chen Shou once commented: "The elders are suddenly and aggressive, and the elders on the side are all taking the risk of obstacles, dare to suffer death, and be a hundred heroes."
Fan Ye's Book of the Later Han also wrote: "Shi Huai is fierce and full of land; it is fierce and public is based on the land of Liaoxi. Its mausoleum spans China, and those who suffer from birth are worldly and peaceful. However, the control is not well-known in the world; the strategy of Zhou and Han is only in the middle and lower. Count the underworld of the sky, so much so that it is?
"Father, I think even if Su Yanfu is willing, I guess he is unwilling to stand up. How can he give up so well when he comes with 80,000 cavalry?"
Qiu Liju took a look at Tanton with some surprise. In the past, he always thought that Tanton was a brave and reckless man, but today he secretly noticed his words. Qiu Liju looked at the crowd with appreciation, and then said to everyone, "Okay, you go out first. I'll think about it alone." "Yes, Shanyu." Everyone shouted. Only Futon was a little anxious and wanted to talk to Qiu Liju, but Qiu Liju stared at him, and then reluctantly went out.
After everyone left, Qiu Liju looked at the map, holding a note with words in his hand, and then sighed.
The note stated that it was the current Youzhou Army, the original Liaodong Army, that defeated him in Youzhou that day.
In the Su Yanfu camp of Xiwuwan, Su Li was having a banquet with Su Yanfu and others, and the whole camp was jubilant.
"Your Excellency, please," Su Yanfu picked up the glass and said with a smile. The old face was full of excitement. When he defeated Qiu Liju, Su Yanfu could unify the west, Dongwuwan and become the sandalwood locust of Wuwan. Thinking of this, he was very excited.
"Hahahaha, please", Su Li also laughed.
"Sand Yu, when are we going to join the army?" a general from the seat of Karasuma asked with a smile. After listening to the man's words, Su Yanfu looked at Su Li and said, "When do you think we are?" Su Yanfu was not stupid. He knew that without Su Li's help, he alone did not know how many times he had been defeated by Qiu Liju.
After listening to Su Yanfu's words, he smiled contemptuously and then said, "Shang Yu, although my Xianbei warriors are invincible in the world, they are also tired after a month of fighting, so let them rest for a few more days. After my Xianbei warrior has a good rest, I will definitely be able to live in one fell swoop."
"That's, that's it," Su Yanfu next to him echoed with a flattering face. Looking at Su Yanfu's appearance, there was a burst of contempt in his heart and said secretly. After destroying Qiu Liju, I will destroy you Su Yanfu. At that time, my eastern Xianbei will be more powerful. Look at the sandalwood acacia dares to despise me again, hum!
Hahaha, Su Li also looked at Su Yanfu with a smile on his face, "Shang Yu, please" and "Lord Su Li, please". The two old foxes have their own thoughts, but on the surface they are humble.
Outside Lulongguan City, in the Youzhou military camp, Li Zhong was fighting. At this time, Zhu Ling had already led 20,000 soldiers to here.
"Wenbo, nothing happened all the way," Li Zhong looked at Zhu Ling and asked with a smile. Zhu Ling arched his hand and then said, "Your father-in-law Hong Fu, the journey is very smooth." After hearing this, Li Zhong waved his hand with a smile and said, and then said, "Well, you are tired. Go down and have a rest first. You can go to Lu Longguan tomorrow." "Yes, Lord, the general will go down first." Zhu Ling said respectfully to Li Zhong, and Li Zhong nodded.
"Mr. Gong and Sir, you can arrange it so that the rest of the soldiers can have a good rest. By the way, get them some meat to eat tonight." "Yes, Lord," Ju Shu nodded and then went out with Zhu Ling.
After the two went out, Li Zhong sat in a chair and shouted outside after a while; "Come on, go and call General Deng Zhan over," "Yes, lord," the iron knife guard soldier outside the tent answered yes.
"Lord", after a while, Deng Zhan came to Li Zhong's account. Li Zhong looked at him and nodded, and then said, "General Han Dang has a letter." Deng Zhan shook his head and then said, "Not yet, Lord, why don't we send someone to have a look." Deng Zhan looked at Li Zhong and said worriedly. Li Zhong shook his head and said, "There is no need to do this. Since there is no news from him, let's wait." Deng Zhan wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Zhong's firm appearance, he still resisted.
Think about it, didn't Li Zhong also trust them when he and Wang Yue defected to Li Zhong? In less than half a year, the two of them became Li Zhong's personal guards, and Li Zhong did not hide many things from them, which moved them very much. Coupled with the education of the military professors, it can be said that the two of them are undoubtedly Li Zhong's loyalties now. Even if Li Zhong asks them to die now, I'm afraid they will Without hesitation.
Seeing that Li Zhong was thinking about something, Deng Zhan also withdrew knowingly.
After Deng Zhan retreated, Li Zhong came to the army alone and chatted with the soldiers. It seemed that this was a habit. Whenever he wanted to fight, Li Zhong would go to the army to chat with the soldiers and eat with them, which made the image of Li Zhong, who was as inviolable as gods in the hearts of the soldiers, become More sacred.
"Are you homesick?" After having dinner with the soldiers, Li Zhong came to several soldiers alone and asked with a smile. Those soldiers were still very nervous before. After Li Zhong had dinner with them, he suddenly felt that Li Zhong, the master, was so kind and had no airs.
"Try back to the lord, little one." Looking at Li Zhong and seeing Li Zhong looking at him with a smile, the soldier nodded. Li Zhong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, you are homesick. I miss you too. However, those Hus made us restless. This time, we must annihilate them, let them know the power of our Youzhou army, and let them know that my people are invincible." With that, Li Zhong himself blushed a little.
But those soldiers didn't think so. After listening to Li Zhong's words, they ordered and shouted, "I'm willing to kill all the Hufu for the Lord. Looking at the immature faces of these soldiers, but after the struggle between life and death, blood and fire, there is no doubt that they will be an invincible force in his hands. For this regard, Li Zhong has never denied it. On the contrary, looking at them, Li Zhong is very relieved.
After chatting with them for a while, Li Zhong returned to the big account alone. There was also an episode. When Deng Zhan heard that Li Zhong went to the army to have dinner with the soldiers, he was almost scared to death. He immediately found Li Zhong with 200 iron sword guards, and then asked eagerly, "Master, why don't you come out and call your subordinates? If the master has a good or evil, what should you do?" Hearing Deng Zhan's tone, Li Zhong was not angry. On the contrary, he was very gratified to have such loyal men, and then looked at Deng Zhan and said with a smile, "General Deng, I'm just came to see my soldiers, if there is anything wrong," Li Zhong looked at the soldiers around him and said loudly, "If anything really happens, I will Believe them, my soldiers, they will protect me."
After listening to Li Zhong's words, the soldiers were suddenly moved and did not reply. Their lord was willing to give his life into their hands. What kind of trust it was. They immediately knelt down and shouted, "I'm willing to repay the lord with death." Li Zhong looked at them and nodded, and then said happily, 'I believe in big Home, get up, "Thank you, Lord."
"However,', what Deng Zhan still wants to say, but Li Zhong hasn't said anything, but the soldiers around him are staring at Deng Zhan. "General Deng, although we are not the guardian of the master, we will protect the lord to death, and General Deng will not worry about it." A hundred people next to him said to Deng Zhan with some dissatisfaction. .
For Deng Zhan's words, it was obvious that they did not trust them. When we followed the master, you didn't know where they were. Some soldiers despised Deng Zhan in their hearts.
Deng Zhan only smiled bitterly at the hostility of everyone. Li Zhong said to the 100 people, "I know your loyalty, but you shouldn't talk to General Deng like this. He is also worried about my safety and doesn't believe everyone." After listening to Li Zhong's words, the 100-person said to Deng Zhan with some shame: 'I hope the general Don't blame the army," Deng Zhan also shook his head knowingly, and then said, "I apologize to everyone for what I said just said." "General Deng is serious, and everyone also said quickly after listening to Deng Zhan's words.
Seeing them like this, Li Zhong nodded and looked at them with a smile.
After Li Zhong returned to the big account, he took a shower and then fell asleep.
The next morning, all the generals had arrived in Li Zhong's tent, and then Li Zhong came from inside. Lord," after seeing Li Zhong come out, everyone shouted to Li Zhong. After Li Zhong sat down, he looked at the crowd and nodded to them.
"Wenbo, I had a good rest last night," Li Zhong looked at Zhu Ling and asked with a smile, "Thank you for your concern. The last general has had a good rest," Zhu Ling replied. Li Zhong nodded and then said, "In this case, you should take 20,000 soldiers to Lulong Pass now. Remember, you must strictly seal the news. Also, when our army goes north, we must ensure the safety of Lu Longguan in our army's food channel."
"Yes, Lord," Zhu Ling said to Li Zhong with a solemn face. Li Zhong nodded and said to the crowd, "The army will set off to the north in two days. This battle is only allowed to succeed and not fail," the crowd shouted.
I'm sorry, I really have something to do these days and haven't been able to update it normally. I'm sorry to everyone here. I hope you can forgive me!!!!
