Chapter 16 Xu Ronghuaxiong
When the soldiers and horses of Yanbei crossed the Yellow River south to gather in Yangwu City, the easternmost part of Yin, Henan, and then advanced westward to Juan County, Sima Lang, who was weakly crowned, took Sima and Zhao of Wen County to migrate eastward, and had just left Wude County in Hanoi and went east in the direction of Ji County and Chaoge, and their ultimate goal was Liyang County in Wei County, Jizhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When you arrive in Liyang, you should be safe, right?
Although Sima Lang had already guessed the difficulty of the relocation road before he hit the road, he still found that he underestimated the difficulty of the relocation after hitting the road. Hanoi Wen County to Liyang is six or seven hundred miles away, if you ride a fast horse alone, you can arrive in a few days, but they have more than 300 people of the two clans, plus the clan moved to carry a lot of materials, not to mention the procrastination along the way, but also worried about being robbed by bandits.
Hanoi is not a good place, there is Bai Bo in the west, there is Montenegro in the east, and then there is a disaster in the south Xiongnu, dozens of bandits and thieves may jump out of the roads and forests at any time and kill people. Although thanks to the fifty cavalry sent by the lieutenant of the county to escort them along the way, even if they were the soldiers of the two clans, it would be difficult to escort them along the way.
It is said that there are more than 300 people, most of them are servants and relatives of the Zhao family in Wen County, and there are only more than 70 people in the Sima family. Although Hanoi County is the prestige of the Sima clan, the Sima clan is not as large as those who have learned and inherited the family, but strives to pursue the path of official career, and is not interested in money, land, and property.
There is no way, others are heirlooms of scripture, although the Sima family has ancestors who are proficient in historiography, it is difficult to eliminate the influence of ancestors as generals. The Sima family is a serious heirloom, and the ancestors can be traced back to Sima Yang, the king of Yin, who rebelled against Qin and returned to Han during the early Han Dynasty. So up to now, among the seventeen oxen and horse-drawn carts carried by the Sima family's relocation, there are five carts containing books, and all kinds of military books account for three-fifths.
The ancestors have been practicing military affairs for several generations, but they were born in the year of Anping, and the so-called martial arts cannot come in handy. arrived at the two generations of Sima Fang and Sima Lang, and finally reluctantly learned...... In troubled times, the art of war has come into play.
Isn't this a trick of creation?
However, Sima Lang can think about this, although he doesn't pay too much attention to military affairs, he also has good skills. What's more, isn't there a smart Sima Yi down there. In addition to Sima Yi, Sima Lang has five younger brothers, and his father's little wife is now pregnant, maybe he will have eight points in his life in the future!
With so many brothers, there are always a few who have outstanding military skills that can make the clan have the power to protect themselves.
Now in the spring, the fields have just grown green seedlings, not blocking the view, Sima Lang looked at the turbulent river in the south, worried about whether this troubled world can protect the clan, can only pray secretly, but the night sky under the big river reflects the moonlight, but there is no god to give him a little response.
"Look, brother!" Suddenly, Sima Yi, who was camping for the night behind him, climbed high on the wheel, pointed to the other side of the river and shouted excitedly to Sima Lang, "Brother, look, what is that on the other side?" ”
Sima Lang raised his eyes when he heard the sound, but he could only see that it was dark on the other side, where was there something? However, when he looked closely, he found that there seemed to be a little light connected to the distance on the other side, but his vision was blurry and unrealistic...... Perhaps it was because he had been studying since he was a child, which made his eyesight decrease slightly, not to mention that there were not many people who could see clearly in the distance at night, so Sima Lang gave up looking at the lights on the other side of the river, turned to Sima Yi and asked, "Ah Zhong, what do you see?" ”
"Torches, that should be the light of torches, far away...... But many, like, like snakes, very long, long snakes! ”
The little light and fire in the distance on the other side of the river were completely different in the eyes of the two Sima brothers, Sima Yi was still young and was at the best of his eyesight. He could see the meandering firelight queue on the other side of the river, but he couldn't describe it, and the images seemed blurry to him, and only the faint light connected together could barely make him see clearly.
When Sima Lang heard this, his heart sank, how many torches could still be seen clearly across the wide Yellow River at night? There must be a large army of men and horses on the other side of the river, galloping at night!
He hurriedly said to Sima Yi: "That's the soldiers and horses marching!" Ah Zhong, is that from east to west or from west to east? ”
"From ...... Didn't move! Hearing the second brother's aggrieved voice, Sima Lang shook his head lightly, he was concerned and confused, so far away, where could they see the movement of that army? Sima Lang didn't let Sima Yi observe the distance anymore, but asked himself in a low voice: "Is it the Kwantung princes advancing westward, or is it the eastern attack of Dong Gong?" ”
In his heart, he hoped that the Kwantung princes would advance westward.
In fact, although whether Dong Zhuo or the Kwantung princes sent troops on both sides, it meant that the war was about to be ruined, but Sima Lang still hoped that the Kwantung princes would advance westward more. After all, if Dong Zhuo fights eastward, they may have to flee again as soon as they arrive in Liyang, but who can they go to except Liyang?
It's better for the Kwantung princes to come in the west, at least the war won't burn to Liyang.
In the following ten days, Sima Lang worriedly moved east with his clan and traveled to Liyang...... The large camp outside Liyang City made him speechless, but there were seven or eight camps of soldiers and horses, so how many soldiers and horses must be stationed here?
However, they didn't care about these things, after all, the relocation was imminent, and they hurriedly inquired in the county where the home of Zhao Weisun, the prisoner of the camp, was. The supervisor of the Liyang camp is well known to everyone in the county, and it is not difficult to find his uncle's home outside the city.
It's just that only his aunt Sima Shi greeted them, and when he asked where his uncle was, Sima's face was full of sorrow.
"You saw the camps outside the city when you came, didn't you? It was the camp of General Du Liaoyan. Sima Shi said slowly: "Just before you came, the Liyang battalion was recruited by General Yan to go west with the army, saying that it was going to attack Xingyang ......."
"Sure enough, it's the Kwantung Coalition to the west." Sima Lang nodded lightly, and then listened to Sima Shi's words: "Where is the Eastern Alliance Army, it is General Yan who is advancing westward alone, and more than 100,000 soldiers in the Kwantung are stationed in Suojube, waiting for Lei to kill Dong Zhuo!" ”
……
"The Kwantung Coalition Army is moving west?" The revolving door closed, and Xu Rong, who was over forty years old, asked the powerful general beside him with joy: "Captain Hua, how many men and horses are there in the enemy, and who is leading the troops?" ”
The military general with a big waist and a round waist beside him is named Hua Xiong, a subordinate general of Dong Zhuo in Kansai, and he is a powerful man. Now he is dispatched to Zhonglang's subordinates to guard against the Kwantung rebels.
"The three-way banner, the general Yanbei of Duliao and the general Lu Yi, as well as Cao Mengde, who was previously defeated by the general and was hypothetically appointed by the rebels." Hua Xiong's voice is very heroic, with a body that is rare among the Kansai warriors, and also has the rudeness of the Kansai people, and said disdainfully: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses are divided into three roads, and now they have passed through the county, and they are shining their banners and rushing straight to Bianshui...... General Lang, his subordinates asked for battle, and led the troops to behead the head of Yanbei and dedicated it to Dong Gong! ”
"Hmm...... Lieutenant Hua doesn't have to worry about meritorious deeds, you have enough meritorious deeds after defeating Cao Mengde before, and when you defeat the thieves, you must not worship the position of general. Xu Rong looked at Hua Xiong and admired it very much, and said to him: "But in this battle, it is not enough to kill Yanbei, if you follow my tactics, Xu will allow you to fight." ”
Xu Rong had no foundation in the court, and after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Liang and the martial arts were in power, and there were not many people from other states who led the troops. Previously, Xu Rongxing was in Bianzhou, and then stationed in Mengjin Pass, that is, now Niu Fuxin was defeated by Bai Bo, so he was activated by Dong Zhuo as a Zhonglang general, and led 30,000 troops to garrison the Revolving Gate Pass to deter the Kwantung rebels.
His words to motivate Hua Xiong are not to listen to himself, after this battle, his merits are enough. Dong Zhuoqian is not good, and he has always been willing to reward meritorious people...... This battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"What will Lang ask for, but please tell me!"
"Dong Gong ordered Xu to guard the revolving gate, in order to deter the Kwantung rebels, contain the smooth relocation of the capital, and then Dong Gong will fight them in a decisive battle." Xu Rong does not look like a rough frontier, stationed in Mengjin Pass for nearly ten years, his words and deeds have long been like a real Luoyang person, and said to Hua Xiong lightly: "However, although the thieves and horses in the eastern part of the country are weak, there are many people and horses, and there is no better way to rush up than to guard the pass." Defeating a Cao Cao is not enough to deter the thieves. The day before yesterday, I was thinking about how to lure Wang Kuang to the south, and at this time, Yanbei sent it to the door! ”
Cao Cao's prestige is insufficient, but this Yanbei is enough. Come to think of it, if Yanbei's head is hung on Yangwu City, the Kwantung Coalition Army of Sour Jujube will inevitably shake, right? After all, Yanbei's subordinates are all pawns of the long-term battle in the border fortress, and their military and official positions are all high among the thieves in the Kanto region...... As long as you defeat him, you can wait for Dong Gong to lead the army in person!
"Captain Hua, we not only want to kill Yanbei's head, but also defeat the soldiers and horses under him! As long as his soldiers and horses are defeated, where are the opponents of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, as long as they are shocked, the sour jujube camp can be broken! ”
Hua Xiong nodded, they are all leading soldiers, even if the art of war is high, the basic control of the war will not change, he also understands this truth.
"Since Captain Hua is asking for battle, he will be the vanguard of 6,000 soldiers, divided into two parts to lure the enemy." Xu Rongguan looked at the east and paced a few steps, then turned his head and said to Hua Xiong: "Captain Hua is delayed, so that his subordinates will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to the west of Bianshui to lure the enemy. If the enemy's whole army pressed and rushed forward, Captain Hua led the army to retreat, and Xu commanded 20,000 troops to set up an ambush in Xingyang, in order to annihilate the enemy. "Bianshui is only thirty miles away from Xingyang, and it is the best option for them to go to war in the middle. Xu Rong narrowed his eyes and said: "If you can't lure the enemy, Captain Hua will send a message to me, first combine 6,000 troops to drag the enemy and fight and retreat." Xu led the army to arrive in half an hour, and then you and I will work together, as long as the enemy army is pushed back to Bianshui, it can be completely defeated! ”
When the soldiers and horses retreated, it was most taboo to be pursued while crossing the river, and nine of the ten such battles had to be defeated because the soldiers timidly fled into the river to avoid the battle.
Xu Rong is going to lay out a perfect plan to drive the Liao general Yanbei to this life-and-death Jedi!
"No!" Hua Xiong smiled unruly, clenched his fists and smiled: "My Xiliang army will definitely slaughter it!" ”
