Chapter Ninety-Two: The Battle of Gangneung
In the camp, Liu Bei and Yiling Ling sat as guests of honor, Liu Bei said: "There are thousands of prisoners in the camp, all women and children, old and weak, most of them are the families of the thief army, and they have no choice but to sweep into the thief camp. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info His Majesty's benevolence and sanctity, and these people are among the pardons. Our army has little food, and in the near future it wants to move to other places. There is no other way, it is to hand over to the county order for proper resettlement. It can be taken care of, and when Jingzhou is pacified, it can be made to open up the wasteland and live in peace. In the future, the merits will be recounted, and there will be few merits in the military merit book that will be assisted by the rear of the county order. ”
Yiling Ling was overjoyed, collecting some free labor, and enriching the county's household registration is also considered a political achievement, not to mention the auxiliary work promised by Liu Bei. So after thanking Liu Bei, he left the camp.
Liu Bei led the generals to the prisoner camp, gathered the crowd and said: "It is an unforgivable crime to kill officials and rebel and cause trouble in the place. However, if there is chaos today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to my hometown. The general has entrusted Yiling to order the resettlement of Er and others on the spot. In the future, it will be safe to live here, and there will be no recurrence of incidents. If there are young and strong people who are willing to join the army, they can recommend themselves, how can a good man bear the name of a thief and see his ancestors underground? If you are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and give up your life, you can fight with me to make a name for yourself, what this man does! Where to go, you think carefully. ”
Then some of the captives clamoured: "General! If we live, how will our beloved rebels? Now that you can escape a cheap life, how can you be willing to make another time! We are willing to fight with the general in all directions to wash away the stigma! ”
So he ordered Zhang Fei and Yan Yan to be responsible for selecting young people to fill the camp.
In April of the first year of Zhongping, Jixian County was broken, Guangyang Taishou resisted the thief with his body, and died in the city, Youzhou Thorn Shi Guo Xun was surrounded by thieves, and fought hard in the house, and the Hakka Ding was killed and wounded, so the family of the house raised fire to itself.
Lu Zhi led the elite of the Northern Army out of the division, went straight to Wei County, and after holding Yecheng, he went straight to Julu, and has now plured several cities.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Junbu will have tens of thousands of elites, swept Runan, and confronted Yingchuan Yellow Turban.
Liu Bei's army rested in Yiling for a few days, and then went straight down the river to Yidao. There were not many Yellow Turban defenders in Yidao, and when they saw that most of the officers and troops were attacking, they took the initiative to abandon the city and go to Jiangling.
Liu Bei supervised the army, and went to the city of Jiangling in a few days. Jiangling, Jingzhou City in later generations, moved the capital here (Yingcheng) since King Wen of Chu, and was an important town in the south in successive dynasties. After the Qin Dynasty, it was the county seat of Nanjun, and after the Han Dynasty, it was the seat of Jingzhou. The city is high and thick, and there is a big river surrounding, thinking that it is a feudal screen, and it has always been an important place for soldiers to fight, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Liu Bei led the generals to watch the city defense, was silent for a long time, and then returned to the camp without saying a word.
He thought about it in his heart, and felt that it was never advisable to forcibly attack the city, which was undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg. There are countless Yellow Turban troops in Jiangling City, and with such a small number of troops, it is not enough to stuff their teeth. And how can you storm the city. Just how to lure the thief army out of the field? That's really a problem.
In Jiangling City, more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves gathered in the county guard mansion and were also discussing strategies. The Han army came, but it seems that there are not many troops. So some people wanted to go out of the city to eat this Han army, and some people wanted to hold on to the city. Quarrel and quarrel and quarrel and quarrel endlessly. So the main general Huang Guang took a few shots of the case and said angrily: "What is the noise? ”
Seeing that everyone was quiet, he said: "A group of waste, let you strengthen your vigilance, send more spies, one by one, they only know how to rob money and women, and they actually fucking let Han Dog touch Jiangling City!" Everyone was silent, and one by one they hung their heads and said nothing.
"Now you dare to go out of the city and eat this Han army? Truly the ignorant are fearless, do you know who the Lord will be? How is the combat power and equipment of the troops? How many people? Is it all clear? Don't know anything and dare to speak wildly? Do you really think that this world is our Yellow Turban Rebels? Do you think that God is the eldest and you are the second? Phew! ”
A thin voice came out: "Boss of Heaven, General of Heaven is the second......"
Huang Guang was furious, got up irritablely, walked around the hall, and then said: "Pass my general order and send someone to carefully investigate the origin of the Han army outside the city, it's really fucking strange, didn't the Han army in Jingzhou retreat to Nanyang, where did this army come from?" Huang Guang was really angry in his heart, seeing that Zhang Dashuai was about to break Wancheng and occupy Nanyang, when the time came, he could enter and leave the division, and retreat to defend Jingzhou. How merry? But now there is a Han army outside Jiangling City, Huang Guang does not know the art of war, but he also knows that his nest cannot be taken away by the official army. Not to mention that he has no territory, if the Han army stabs Zhang Dashuai from behind again, the Jingzhou Righteous Army will be finished.
Thinking of this, Huang Guang tried to calm his mind, and said: "The four gates of Jiangling City are closed, strictly investigated, if there are spies, no one will be left!" ”
Liu Bei originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness and the slack defense of the city to send warriors to the city, and then the inside and outside should be combined, open the city gate and go down to Jiangling with a drum. It turns out that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. At the third watch in the evening, warriors were sent to steal the city, and in the darkness of the night, the high walls were like man-devouring monsters, and one went up and then disappeared. In the daytime, the Yellow Turban Army hung the corpse of the Han army on the city wall, making fun of the Han army outside the city, and shouted with laughter one by one: "Dog officer army, send a few more to steal the city, come to a grandfather to kill one, come to a pair of grandfathers to kill a pair, it's best to send them all, grandpa accepted them all, hahahahaha!" ”
Liu Bei saw that the corpse of his sergeant was tied to the city wall to show the public, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and Guan Yu next to him said angrily: "Good thief, wait for me to enter Jiangling City, hum!" ”
In the evening, the military tent was discussed, and Jian Yong offered advice: "Instead of going up the city wall and stealing the city gate, it is better to dig a tunnel at night and enter." Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and the others' eyes lit up.
Huang Zhong said: "No, I have been in Jingzhou for a long time, Jiangling is located by the river, the ground is wet and watery, not as good as the north." The tunnel is not dug into a river, and the yellow turban thieves are not only on guard, but they can't think of a strategy to dig the tunnel? According to a certain thought, I want to break the Jiangling City, Yier, dig the river embankment, lead the water of the river to irrigate it, and then I wait for the logging to make a raft, hit it along the water, and a drum can be launched! ”
When the generals heard this, they all clapped their hands and praised the goodness, but Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly. Huang Zhong is worthy of being a native of Nanyang and knows everything about Jingzhou. But these guys are too vicious, aren't they? Digging a river embankment to lead the water of the Yangtze River to attack the city is also a shame that they can figure it out. If this is not done well, the surrounding counties will become water towns and Zeguo, who will deal with the aftermath?
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Although Han Sheng's plan can break Jiangling, the gains outweigh the losses. In Jiangling City, in addition to the Yellow Turban Thief, there are still countless people of our Han Dynasty. If Jiangling City is broken and the river floods the city, how many people will survive? ”
Zhang Fei said disapprerovingly on the side: "Brother Xuande, those who become big things are not informal, as long as the yellow scarf is destroyed......"
Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Liu Bei said angrily: "Yide, have you read all the books in vain?" The benevolence of the saints is not spoken? In order to break the yellow turban, the thieves will flood the people of the city, how does the world look at us? Are we officers and soldiers or bandits? We are kings who save the poor and help the needy, and we do not save the people from fire and water, but we want to kill them, what is the difference between such behavior and the Yellow Turban thief? This discussion has to be brought up again! ”
As soon as Liu Bei had a seizure, the generals didn't dare to squeak anymore. After being silent for a while, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Let's all step down, let me think about it again." The generals bowed and retreated in turn.
Liu Bei held his head, distressed. These people under his command, all of them are martial artists, pragmatism is supreme, I originally thought that Zhang Fei had character flaws, and he didn't care about his subordinates, so that he flew into trouble, but judging from the situation just now, these guys don't take human life very seriously. This habit is not good, it has to be changed. In the dim light, Liu Bei fell into deep thought.
For several days in a row, Liu Bei just sent a large number of scouts to various places to find out the news. In the camp, however, there was a free battle card. Zhang Fei felt bored, so he led his own soldiers to the gate of Jiangling, stopped outside the range of bows and arrows, and then turned over and dismounted, drinking and having fun, while ordering his own soldiers to scold the formation. Foul language, endless, scolding tired and changing a group of people. No one paid attention to the city wall at first, but then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he began to curse each other. All kinds of vicious words such as turtle son and dead thief were passed back and forth in and out of the city. Zhang Fei had a lot of fun, and Liu Bei didn't bother to care.
When the general in the city saw that Zhang Fei was drunk, he actually took off his clothes and armor, and lay on the horse's belly bare-chested, and couldn't help but be furious, and said: "Good dog officer, you actually look down on us so much, and ask the general to give an order, and the last general is willing to take the head of this dog official, so as to strengthen the prestige of my righteous army!" ”
Huang Guang twisted his eyebrows and said, "Stop, don't fall for that dog officer and soldier's plan to lure the enemy!" ”
The general insisted on going, and said, "How can the general drum up the anger of others and fall into the prestige of my righteous army?" This thief is an arrow away from the city gate, the last general led the son, galloped out of the city, with lightning speed, cut this thief under the horse and returned, the Han army wanted to save but could not reach. ”
Huang Guang looked at Zhang Fei's position, then looked at the camp of the Han army, and then looked at the eager faces of the generals and soldiers on the left and right, knowing that it was not good to stop it, otherwise it would really hurt the hearts of the soldiers and lose morale. Moreover, the behavior of the Han general under the city is really infuriating. Then he nodded and agreed: "Okay, you go, everything is careful, if you are invincible, you will return quickly, I will be in the city, with archers!" There are few Han soldiers, and they will not dare to chase them! ”
Alcohol was forbidden in the camp, Zhang Fei finally asked for this strategy to lure the enemy, drank slightly under the city, and secretly scolded the thieves in his heart for being gutless. Then he planned to take a short break and then lead the army back to the camp. But he didn't want to just hear a trumpet, the city gate was wide open, and the first general, with a spear in his hand, led a group of soldiers and horses out of the city, and came straight to himself.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, bare-chested, turned over on the horse, took off the horse lance on the saddle, raised his right hand slightly, and sandwiched the horse's belly with his legs, and then greeted him. The general was holding a gun, but he saw Zhang Fei coming over with his bare arms, and secretly said that it came so quickly, while the spear in his right hand stabbed rapidly, his left hand flipped over, showing a small crossbow, and in the sound of the strings, a small crossbow turned into a vicious wind and rushed to Zhang Fei's chest.
No wonder this general dared to ask for a battle out of the city, but it turned out that he was hiding his backhand. With this elusive crossbow machine, he didn't know how many Han army officers he had shot. At this time, he saw the crossbow arrows firing rapidly, and Zhang Fei didn't seem to notice it, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and this time he made another contribution.
Zhang Fei heard a strange wind, and knew that it was not good, so he suddenly slid his body, and the whole person hung sideways on the horse's belly, but unfortunately the distance was too short, and the crossbow arrow was too fast. There was a burst of heat from Zhang Fei's left arm, and he couldn't help but be angry, when was the last time he was injured? He himself can't remember clearly, but he was injured by the nameless rat here, and when he returned to the camp, he also let Yun Chang, Han Chang and others see the joke. It's unbearable!
