Chapter 114: First Encounter with the Enemy
In March of the second year of Zhongping, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others entered Kou Sanfu from Liangzhou under the banner of removing eunuchs and Qing monarchs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the Western Han Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum was invaded. The emperor was shocked, so he ordered the left cavalry generals Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to lead the troops to fight. From March to July, there were dozens of battles of all sizes, each with its own victories and defeats. However, the Liangzhou soldiers were strong, and Huangfu Song and others could not be restrained, and they could only hold on to the rebels.
Liu Bei led the army and entered Jingzhao Mansion from Nanyang. All the way to Lam Tin. He was about to order the three armies to camp and rest, but he saw smoke rising from the side of the water, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing. Liu Bei watched from afar, and said left and right: "Who is with me to explore?" ”
A general flashed next to him and said, "Lord, the last general is willing to go." ”
Liu Bei took a look, but it was Huang Guang, the former yellow turban general, who had been playing soy sauce since Huang Guang returned to himself. Liu Bei saw the eagerness in his eyes, pondered for a while, and then said: "You go by yourself, if there is something wrong, you will quickly retreat." ”
Regarding Huang Guang's ability, Liu Bei has observed it for a long time, and it is still very clear that a decent general can defend the camp, but it is not possible to fall into battle. Fang Cai didn't want to let him out, but he was afraid of dampening his enthusiasm. I had no choice but to allow it.
Huang Guang introduced a section by himself, crossed the north bank of the river, and went straight to Fengyan.
After a short walk, I saw countless people and horses, dressed in gray robes and armor, going back and forth between the villages and forts, setting fire to the houses, and cutting down the people, and sometimes there were women in the houses begging for mercy, and men laughing lewdly. The trampling of horses' hooves, the cries of the people, and the hearty laughter of the soldiers are intertwined with the charred courtyard walls and the houses in the blazing firelight, forming a hell on earth.
Seeing all this, Huang Guang couldn't help but recall his own experience, and sighed: "Why is life so difficult in the world? ”
So lead the troops straight forward, at this time the enemy general saw a formation of horses' hooves, raised his eyes, but saw a Han army, with the banner of Liu and Huang, straight to come, although there were few people, but the queue was neat. So he shouted and retreated to a high ground, and then shouted, "Who is coming?" ”
Huang Guangxin said, nine times out of ten he is a traitor in Liangzhou, so he shouted: "A certain is the general under the command of General Liu of Dongzhonglang, my general was ordered to come to conquer the traitor in Liangzhou, the king has arrived, why not descend quickly, wait for the fall, otherwise the army will arrive, and become a powder!" ”
The person who was the leader was Li Wenhou, who was rarely brave but brutal by nature. Soldiers to Sanfu, because they were rejected by Huangfu Song and other large armies, they were not allowed to enter the division, so they had nothing to do every day, so they led the troops to loot everywhere, and returned to the army to enjoy the goods and goods in the car. In the place where he passed, countless corpses were accumulated, and they were all scorched earth.
Li Wenhou listened to Huang Guang's words, and couldn't help laughing on horseback, leaning forward and backward with laughter, tears were about to come out, and then he said: "What kind of bird Dongzhong Lang general General Liu, Lao Tzu has never heard of it, Huangfu Yizhen and Dong Zhongying are helpless to take Lao Tzu, you wait for the bird official army that came out of nowhere and want Lao Tzu to surrender?" Dream on you? ”
Liangzhou has been in turmoil over the years, and the style of writing is sluggish, and it is only in the past that the Song Dynasty has made every household in the state copy the "Book of Filial Piety" to make the remarks clear. The people of Liangzhou only serve force and fists, and whoever has a strong army and a powerful fist, they will listen to whomever they want. Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are both from Liangzhou. Li Wenhou had heard of the prestige of the two of them, but this time Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo joined forces and did not defeat them, so he was naturally proud and felt that he was very remarkable.
As for Liu Bei, although he was famous before, after all, it was mostly circulated among scholars and doctors, and the time was short, and the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture knew that a pure martial artist like Li Wenhou was attached to the righteous subordinate, so where did he know?
So when he suddenly heard a general he had never heard of ordering him to abandon his weapons and surrender, he couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard the funniest joke.
Huang Guang was favored by Liu Bei, and obeyed Liu Bei's faithfulness, and when he saw this thief insulting his own general, he couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "Dead traitor, come with me!" ”
So Pegasus took Li Wenhou directly.
Li Wenhou was having a foolish fun, and when he saw that Han Jiang had a sudden attack, he couldn't help but be startled, and said in his heart, how could he shout and fight? So he mustered up his spirit and carried a knife to fight.
You shoot me with a knife, after you come and go to me for dozens of times, Huang Guang is not strong, and he said in his heart, I have heard that the people of Liangzhou are naturally powerful, and this is not true. After resisting a few more moves, Huang Guang saw that the situation was not good, so he turned his horse and fled. Li Wenhou laughed and said, "Lao Tzu thought it was so great, it turned out to be a group of cowards!" ”
He led his troops to chase him, but saw that although Huang Guang was defeated and fled, the army's formation was not chaotic, and it was difficult to achieve any results, so he stopped. Flaunting his might.
Huang Guang led the defeated army to see Liu Bei, his face was full of shame, and he bowed: "My lord, the last general is incompetent and has failed to defeat the enemy, and I ask my lord to punish him." ”
Seeing this, Liu Bei helped Huang Guang up, persuaded him with good words, and said: "Changfeng (Huang Guang's words), victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, in this world, who can be a winning general?" And Qing's strengths are not in the trap. Although he did not win this time, he did not fold a single person, which shows that Changfeng is old. ”
He turned his head and said to the generals: "The two armies are facing each other, and they will either win or lose." It's normal. But if we can't win, what should we do? I think that when you can't win, the most important thing is to preserve your strength. Don't worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place. You must know that if you lose your land, you will lose both people and land. If people lose land, people and land will survive. Understand this truth, and then win without arrogance, defeat without resentment, you can be the teacher of the king. ”
All the generals will bow down. Xun Yu was on the side, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard it. Said: "The lord is really a wise man, the theory of man and earth, and the essence of the soldier, I can't do it." ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly in his heart, this is a truth that everyone in the future world knows. So he said with a straight face: "If the text is falsely praised, Mencius once said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." This is where my remarks are derived. Who is the most important in a country? I thought it was human! If there are many people, the products will be abundant, all industries will be prosperous, and the national strength will be strong. If there are few people, the people's livelihood will wither, merchants will not be able to communicate, the border will be unguarded, and the king will have nothing to support. It is to all of us who will be leaders or obey orders in the future, and we must firmly remember that we must always be people-oriented! This is the supreme merit of immortality! ”
All the generals are not mediocre, and they can be seen through at all. Although Huang Guang doesn't read much, Liu Bei speaks very straightforwardly and has contrasts, so he can't help but be impressed. Jian Yong and Xun Yu listened to it even more fascinated, following Liu Bei's remarks, introducing and elaborating, and I don't know where their thoughts drifted away.
After a long time, Xun Yu and others came back to their senses, Xun Yu's eyes were full of brilliance, and his heart said, this is the lord I want to follow, with a resolute personality, a long-term vision, great ambitions, and a benevolent heart. The king's demeanor is undoubted, and the Han family has a rescue. I will do my best to assist the lord and make him accomplish the cause of Yiyin and Huo Guang. And I will naturally be remembered for future generations, and I will be famous in history......
However, it was said that Li Wenhou retreated from the Han army, causing him to flee in embarrassment. The heart is happy, and after returning to the camp, he will show off with the generals. A general under the account said: "General, there is another Han army to help, should you report to General Han?" ”
Han Sui and Bian Zhang led the army into Kou Sanfu, and fought with Huangfu Song for a long time, so they divided their troops and plundered. At this time, Han Sui was near Chang'an. Li Wenhou heard someone say that he wanted to report to Han Sui, and immediately disdainfully said: "Report a bird, although Han Wenyue is the main general, hum, if there is no my old Li, how can he have the majesty he has today?" ”
It turned out that Li Wenyue was ordered by Beigong Boyu to rob Han Sui and Bian Zhang, and later killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, and coerced the two of them to join the gang. Li Wenyue has personally experienced this period of things, so he is naturally not very respectful to the coach.
This is also the reason why Han Sui wanted to kill him in later history.
Li Wenhou has always been rude and irritable, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the generals under his command did not dare to say anything more. Li Wenhou said: "The generals of the Han army are very weak, and in my opinion, what they rely on is only the military formation they have practiced, and the rest is not enough to worry about. When the Han army first arrived, the baggage and goods must be abundant, so I might as well steal the camp at night, break its army, and then take all the money and food and return. It also shows the prestige of our Liangzhou Army. ”
When everyone heard the reason, they didn't feel moved. Of course, there are also more sensible ones, so they persuaded: "When the Han army first came, the situation is unclear, and there will definitely be precautions." Although the Han army is not as brave as my Liangzhou son, he is well-armed and defends according to the camp, and we are afraid that we are not his enemy. I hope the general will be cautious. ”
Li Wenhou said: "I'm afraid of a bird, even if the two armies face each other during the day, I'm not afraid, let alone fighting at night?" Ordered the three armies, bury the pot to make rice, rest after eating, and get up to attack the Han camp. If there is a slacker, cut it! ”
The generals will come out according to their command.
In Liu Bei's camp, Huang Guang told the enemy in detail. When Liu Bei heard that the rebels had killed a lot of people, he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's not a pity that the traitors in Liangzhou really died!" "Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Chinese have rapidly decreased in fratricidal warfare. When he arrived in the Western Jin Dynasty and crossed to the south, he almost killed the Han people in the north. If it weren't for Ran Min, I was afraid that the Yanhuang bloodline of the Central Plains would really be cut off and buried. Liangzhou Bianzhang Han Sui is all Han, but he joined forces with Qiang thieves and killed his compatriots, so how can Liu Bei not be angry? The two armies are facing each other, and the dead and wounded are destined for heaven, so why are innocent people implicated?
At dusk, after dinner, Liu Bei pondered according to the case. But when he saw that his own soldiers came to report, Xun Yu outside the tent asked to see him, and Liu Bei hurriedly got up to greet him. Seeing Xun Yu, Liu Bei scolded: "Wen Ruo, I have instructed you to come in directly, and you don't need to report it." ”
Xun Yu said: "Lord, this is not a human courtesy, how dare Xun Yu do it?" ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly, Xun Yu was full of talent, but sometimes he was too positive. So after the two sat down, Liu Bei asked, "Wen Ruo, what's the matter?" ”
Xun Yu said: "Lord, I think about it, the thieves in Liangzhou will come to steal the camp tonight." ”
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression perked up, and he said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
Xun Yu said: "Changfeng said that Liangzhou is arrogant and greedy for money. Our army was defeated for a while during the day, and the thieves in Liangzhou must have thought that our army could be bullied, and our army was new, the camp was not stable, and there was a lot of grain, grass and wealth, wouldn't the thieves be moved? ”
Liu Bei said: "Wen Ruo, will the plan be released?" ”
Xun Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seemed that the lord recognized his inference. Well, for the first time since entering Liu Bei's shogunate, he must be perfect.
So Xun Yu shook his spirit and told him what he was thinking.
