At the suggestion of Xiahou Rong, Cao Zhen ordered that all the more than 1,400 soldiers who had fled from the 36 camps should be killed in order to correct military justice.

In troubled times, it should be used to re-enact, such as in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Du Fuwei of Jianghuai, he recruited pioneers every time he fought a war, checked the back of a soldier after the war, and killed him immediately if his back was injured.

Because the vanguard army is indomitable, only knows how to advance and does not know how to retreat, even if it is injured, it is also injured in the front, and it will not be injured in the back, if the back is injured, it means that the soldier has fled in the battle.

Therefore, in the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei relied on this army to be invincible in Jiangnan and unified the land of Jiangnan, and only Li Tang could not fight.

Now that Cao Rui has personally conquered Chang'an, Longshan must not be lost, so Xiahou Rongcai suggested that Cao Zhen do this.

The effect of this was of course significant, and the soldiers who withdrew to the second line of defense did not dare to slack off in the slightest when they heard the news, and they did not leave their armor and knives in their sleeping clothes at night.

The soldiers on patrol did not even dare to blink easily, for fear that they would lose the camp by negligence and be punished by military justice after returning.

Lund House.

Zhuge Liang came to the palace and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, just now Zilong has sent news that the Wei army in the remaining forty-two camps has withdrawn from the first line of defense and retreated to the second line of defense. ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "This trick is quite smart, and I know how to abandon the car to protect the handsome." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Although the first line of defense of the Wei State has been taken now, the Wei army has retreated to the second line of defense, and their reinforcements will arrive soon, and it will be even more difficult to attack next." ”

Ling Bao arched his hand and asked, "Can't you come here once according to the method of the Great Sima last time?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I heard that Cao Zhen has arrived in Longshan and killed more than 1,000 people who fled back after losing the camp, such a heavy criminal punishment, and the Wei State has already suffered a loss, how can it succeed again?" ”

"Killed more than a thousand people? That's too ruthless, isn't it? Ling Bao said with a shocked face when she heard this.

"It's ruthless, but it's very effective." Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "I have personally gone to see it, and now the camp defense of the Wei State is impenetrable, and every soldier does not dare to slack off." ”

Zhao Yun groaned: "So it's a stalemate again." ”

All the generals were silent, although they had won the first line of defense, but the Wei army still had a second and third line, and reinforcements would come soon, and the Wei State was heavily guarded, and there was no way to break through the Wei army's Longshan defense line, not even a strong attack.

Liu Chan groaned: "The brave people of Bingzhou should not be able to stand the insult and can't bear it." Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Lin Xiao, Ling Bao, Lin Yuan, Huang Xu, Pang De, Ru and others went to various camps every day to challenge, arranged ambushes in the rear, and tried to lure them out and annihilate. ”

"No!" When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all gave up their orders.

In the case that the enemy is heavily guarded and cannot attack, it is indeed a good way to scold the formation and provoke, after all, the clay people also have three points of fire, not to mention the brave people from the state?

Longshan, in the middle of the second line of defense, there is a large camp here, and the number of defenders is about 800.

Due to Hu Zun, Xiahou Ba's reinforcements have not yet arrived, during this time, Cao Zhen and Cao Chun, Wang Shuang, Xiahou Rong, Chen Tai and others will have been patrolling the camps everywhere to avoid the Han army using tactics again.

Xiahou Rong and Wang Shuang happened to patrol this camp today.

Xiahou Rong inspected the camp under the leadership of the guard, and then said to the guard: "Although there are many people in this village, the terrain is not steep, and there are many places that need to be defended. ”

Although Xiahou Rong is less than twenty years old, because he is the Cao Wei clan, his father Xiahou Yuan, and his brother Xiahou said that they all died on the battlefield, so he ranks as a general of the Ping Zi, and his status in the army is second only to Cao Zhen and Zhaozhao.

"Yes, the last general will definitely guard against it." The guard general nodded again and again after listening to Xiahou Rong's words, his eyes were full of awe, and he also heard that the reason why the more than 1,000 soldiers who fled back were killed was that Xiahou Rong suggested that Cao Zhen kill them, so ruthless, how could the guard be not afraid.

Xiahou Rong clapped his palms, and the two soldiers behind him opened a box, revealing the gold, silver and jade inside, Xiahou Rong said to the guards: "I know that the soldiers have worked hard, this is the money that the first emperor gave me before, now I will take it out, you let people go to the rear to buy meat, and make up for the brothers." ”

The guard general was overjoyed and said: "Thank you general, thank you general, the soldiers haven't been exposed to meat for some days." ”

Xiahou Rong patted the guard on the shoulder and said: "Defend the camp well, the general has always been rewarded for meritorious service, and you will be punished for your mistakes, your camp is well defended, next time the general will come, if the soldiers are still so spirited, there will be a reward." ”

Although Xiahou Rong was young, his methods were very clever, on the one hand, he suggested that Cao Zhen kill more than 1,000 soldiers to correct military law, and on the other hand, he used his private wealth to reward the soldiers and win the hearts of the people.

"Yes, the last general will not disappoint the general."

"Bell, bell, bell!"

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs above the city.

Suddenly, the soldiers in the camp walked towards the rules of the female wall.

The guard general said to Xiahou Rong: "It's the Shu soldiers who have arrived!" ”

"Let's take a look!" Xiahou Rong was not panicked, and climbed the women's wall with Wang Shuang and the guards.

"I am the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the south, I heard that you are all warriors from Bingzhou, but does anyone dare to come out and fight me?" I saw that under the pass, Ling Bud immediately lay a horizontal knife under the pass, but it was Ling Bud who led the troops to challenge.

The camp of the second line of defense of the Wei army, there are dozens of Chengguan, and the generals sent troops to rush to various places, and Ling Bao happened to come to attack this camp and met Xiahou Rong.

Seeing that no one answered, Ling Bud laughed and said, "Are you all a group of turtles with shrunken heads? Haven't the people of Bingzhou always been tough, why are you afraid of my Yizhou people today? ”

As we all know, Bingzhou is located on the border, fighting with the Hu people all the year round, the people are fierce, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.

Yizhou is located in the territory, the people are simple, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the people of Bingzhou. Now that Ling Bud is so mocking and state-guarded, it is most likely to anger them.

"You and other Yizhou thick necks (salt was lacking before, so the neck was thick) actually dare to underestimate me and the warriors of the state?" The guard general was furious when he heard this, and asked Xiahou Rong for battle: "General, I ask for orders to fight this wing!" ”

Xiahou Rong looked at Ling Bao under the pass, and the cold light flashed in his eyes: "Ling Bao, the general of the Han Dynasty, this position is not low, today I will kill this wingman and pay tribute to the spirit of my father and brother in the sky!" ”

Wang Shuang patted his shoulder and said, "Shaoquan doesn't have to go out in person, I'll kill that guy." ”

"The machete in this person's hand seems to weigh thirty or forty pounds, and his martial arts are no worse than yours, and if you want to kill him, it is not easy." Xiahou Rong groaned: "In this way, you went out of the city to meet the battle, deliberately defeated, I took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed him with arrows!" ”

Wang Shuang shook his head and said, "Isn't this dishonorable?" ”

Xiahou Rong sneered: "In the battlefield confrontation, how can there be any fairness, it has always been a king and a loser!" When Huang Zhong killed my father, wasn't it also a fraud? I give you the credit for nothing, and if you don't go, I will go into battle and kill him myself. ”
