Chapter 116: The Battle of Liangzhou
Tao Qian's word Gongzu, a native of Danyang, is less for all students, and has been in Shizhou County. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info to know the soldiers, transferred to the left cavalry general Huangfu Song to listen to the use. Tao Qian's anger is not unreasonable. Huangfu Song is an old soldier, although it takes a long time, the key is to be steady. Tao Qian believes that if he continues to let Huangfu Song use troops, it won't be long before the thieves in Liangzhou will be broken. Seeing that the credit in his hand flew away like this, how could Tao Qian not be angry?
Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian also have similar thoughts. The Han Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, they only have the ability to kill the enemy, and whether they can be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister in the future depends on whether there are enough military merits, who would have thought that the eunuch gave them this one.
Liu Bei comforted a few words of kindness, and then asked: "Is there an edict from the imperial court, and who is the handsome minister?" ”
Dong Zhuo glanced at this famous junior Junxiu, and said, "The Son of Heaven has issued an edict to take Sikong Zhang Boshen as the general of the chariot cavalry. It's coming soon. ”
Liu Bei sighed and stopped asking.
However, Sun Jian and Tao Qian are very interested in Liu Bei, and you and I will ask one by one. Both of them are scholars, and they soon found a topic and chatted with Liu Bei earnestly. Dong Zhuo sat aside, listened to the fog, and said in his heart, literati are all this stinky virtue, and after sitting for a while, after all, he couldn't bear it, and said that there was something else in the army, and left.
Liu Bei saw from Sun Jian and Tao Qian's eyes that they had a trace of disdain for Dong Zhuo, but they were all measured and personable people, and they covered it up well on the surface and did not show any points.
A few days later, Zhang Wen arrived with a large number of men, including his soldiers and a Praetorian Guard sent by the emperor. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei saw that his cousin Liu Ke was also among them. The two haven't seen each other for several years, when Liu Bei commanded the army to recruit the Yellow Turban, when he wrote to Luoyang to ask about Liu Ke, his eldest brother Lu Yu wrote that Liu Ke had gone out with his father Lu Zhi. Later, the whole country was in chaos, and Liu Bei was busy with the military, so he didn't inquire about Liu Ke's news, but after the chaos, Liu Ke had a letter. Because of his meritorious service, he has been promoted to a military marquis in the Northern Army. It made Liu Bei happy for a while.
Now that the brothers are seeing each other, they are naturally overjoyed. The two talked at night with candles until dawn. During the conversation, Liu Bei learned that Liu Ke's wife Su had added a lovely nephew to him. Knowing that his father-in-law Lu Zhi was becoming silent above the court. Knowing that, the eldest brother still refuses to be requisitioned and does not come out......
Liu Ke finally proposed that he be transferred to Liu Beijun. Liu Bei thought about it and refused. In fact, he had this idea for a long time, but thinking of the turmoil in the Jingshi later, he couldn't have no one in the Jingshi. So he allowed Liu Ke to develop in the forbidden army. Liu Ke has already accumulated merit step by step to become a military marquis, how can he let him come back?
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Eleven, it's better for you to stay in Jingshi." And you know, I am commanded in times of danger. As soon as the thieves in Liangzhou are leveled, there will be no war in the world, and maybe the team under my command will be disbanded. You're not here for any benefit. ”
Although Liu Ke is also in his twenties, he still believes in Liu Bei's words. If my brother says so, then do so.
On the second day, Zhang Wen beat the drum and gathered the generals. The generals entered the tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Wen took out the map, hung it on the wall, and said: "The Liangzhou thieves wish the land of the three auxiliaries for a long time, the Son of Heaven is angry, and the people are frightened. You must work together and not slack off, otherwise military law will be ruthless! ”
As soon as he came up, Zhang Wen came to get off the horse. If you don't show the majesty of the boss, how can the arrogant soldiers under this command be suppressed?
Seeing that the generals were the only ones, a smile bloomed on Zhang Wen's face, and he pointed sideways at the map and said: "This is the distribution situation map of thieves in Liangzhou, what are the strategies of the generals for the next battle, please speak freely." ”
It can be seen from the map that Zuo Fengyi, Zuo Fufeng, and Jing Zhaoyin all have the distribution of Liangzhou soldiers. Dong Zhuo looked at it for a while, couldn't see why, and said in a muffled voice: "What else can there be, if you catch the rebels, you will fight!" ”
Zhang Wen looked at this Liangzhou military general, and directly made a conclusion in his heart, Fu Fu.
Tao Lian and Sun Jian said something different, proposing to leave troops to guard the rear to prevent the Liangzhou rebels from attacking Sili, and then advance step by step, compressing the maneuver space of the Liangzhou rebels, and then eat a small rebel army, and then find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with most of them. Slowly forced the Liangzhou rebels out of the land of Sanfu. Think again.
If it weren't for his advanced vision, Liu Bei could only answer like this. It is politically absolutely correct to leave troops to guard the rear to block the three assistants and the subordinates. This point alone is agreed upon by all the generals, including Zhang Wen. Then steadily advance, eat small and enlarge, and gradually compress the living space of the rebels. I have to say that this is a very good idea.
Liu Bei looked at the map and knew it in his heart, so he said to Zhang Wen: "General, I don't think the Liangzhou thieves have any intention of joining the Kou Division. ”
Zhang Wen sighed, looked at the young minister interestingly, and said, "What does Xuande have to say, please try to say it." ”
Liu Bei said: "Since the rebellion of the thieves in Liangzhou, they have always been chaotic in Liangzhou. But after arriving at Sanfu, he stopped his troops and plundered in all directions. In my opinion, it is fake that they punished the eunuchs, and it is true that they took the opportunity to come to the land of Sanfu to grab food and money! ”
Liu Bei is right, Liangzhou is not a rich land, the Liangzhou rebels turned Liangzhou upside down, everyone does not graze, does not farm, flees, rebels. Where is there still surplus food in Liangzhou for the rebels? When they entered the land of Kou Sanfu, they really came for money and food. As soon as the Liangzhou thieves entered Sanfu, they were stunned by the prosperity here, burning and looting one by one, destroying human nature and doing all kinds of evil.
It was only later Cao Cao's minister Wei Qi who said: "The generals of the West are all upright and bent up, and they have no will of the world, and they are just happy in front of them." ”
That is to say, the rebel generals of the Liangzhou department, including the later Dong Zhuo, Li Xuan and others, were all short-sighted people, and they never thought of dominating the world at all. I just want to mess around. Wei Qi was very accurate, so these people, after a sensation one by one, quickly perished.
Zhang Wen listened to what Liu Bei said, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that since the news of Sanfu's entry into the Kou came, the Liangzhou thieves had been staying in Sanfu and had not gone further east. Although there is Huangfu Song guarding here. But if they say that except for Huangfu Song, they can't find a way to enter Sili, Zhang Wen definitely doesn't believe it.
Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others also came to watch. Looking at this, I feel more and more that Liu Bei is reasonable, why, I can understand the distribution of the rebels in Liangzhou.
Tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops, if they had the heart to join the division, they would have entered it a long time ago. But now they are a pile in the east and a pile in the west, not only the army is scattered, but also the old man is long, from Yongxian County to Changling, hundreds of miles away, there are the shadow of rebels. That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Not to plunder money, but for what?
Zhang Wen said: "In that case, what does Xuande think?" ”
Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "Since it is determined that the thieves in Liangzhou are for money, then we can adjust our military strength in a targeted manner." The number of troops guarding the rear can not be too much. Then we can divide the armies into several ways, directly break the thieves when they are weak, and join the army when they are strong, and then according to the will of the three generals Dong, Sun, and Tao, we will advance steadily, and our army will win! ”
Liu Bei tried his best to avoid offending people. And he felt that the proposal to divide the troops must be in line with the appetite of the generals, without him, the generals are just greedy for merit.
Knowing that the Liangzhou thieves are not together, they are all arrogant and conceited people, how can they let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions?
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Bei's words came out, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others below bowed their hands to Zhang Wen and said, "General Liu is reasonable. ”
As long as Zhang Wen obeyed, he didn't bother to argue about how the army marched, anyway, he saw the thief army start fighting. So the congregation will lead their own parts and go their separate ways. And he led the army of Huangfu Song and his own troops, and responded later.
The land of Sanfu is the mausoleum of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty. The eleven imperial tombs are now disturbed by the rebels, and there are not only the emperor's ancestors, but also Liu Bei's ancestors lying here. Yes, Liu Bei also felt the emperor's anger. Not to mention this time, even a thousand years later, my ancestral tomb will be moved to try it, and if I can't do it, I will have to use a knife.
Each imperial mausoleum still has an army, which is controlled by the cemetery order and the principal under his command. These troops are used to prevent outsiders from entering and thieves. Tomb robbers in the Han Dynasty have long existed, and these people have always been bold, if they are more loosely guarded, they will dare to attack the imperial tomb.
Later, when Dong Zhuo returned to Liangzhou, didn't he dig up the emperor's tomb without money......
It's a pity that the little soldiers in the hands of the cemetery order are not enough to stuff the teeth of the Liangzhou thieves. Fortunately, the rebels still have a sense of awe, and they are all robbing on the periphery at this time, and they don't dare to attack the emperor's tomb. But they were so worried, for fear that the thieves outside would break in, not to mention digging graves, but robbing a few sacrificial utensils, which would also be a terrible crime.
The first battle broke out in the city near Baling. Ba Ling, the resting in it is Liu Heng, Emperor Xiaowen of Han Taizong. The thieves led thousands of people and were crisscrossing the villages. He only felt that the leader's decision to bring them into the customs was extremely correct. What do you do in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou? Lacking food and clothing, he has not eaten so much for a long time. It's better to be in Guanzhong.
However, with his simple mind, he never thought that he only knew about killing and destruction, but not construction. When the robbery and killing are finished, where should they go?
Liangzhou soldiers, can they really dominate the world?
Perhaps, he will answer, no matter what you do, you have to eat today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. More far, when the time comes.
It was Sun Jian's and Sun Wentai's troops who encountered the rebels. The parts he led were all Huaisi heroes. They are all scary-strong, and when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are not weaker than Liangzhou.
This is also the capital of his son Sun Ce who will be able to cross Jiangdong in the future.
As soon as the war broke out, it went straight to the high tide.
Thank you for the reward from Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty.
