184.Chapter 184: The Death of Helian
Throughout the night, Tian Feng listened to the shouts and killings on the other side of the river, but he didn't sleep well.
Not only him, but the other soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, knowing that their lord led five hundred warriors, crossed the river to attack the camp of the Xianbei people, they also stayed awake all night.
It can be said that a sneak attack on 50,000 people with 500 people is a great test of the courage, perseverance, and luck of the sneak attackers. If you're not careful, the end of the sneak attacker will definitely be bleak.
Although there are many camps in history, there are not a few camps with such a big difference.
The robbery of Cao Ying by Gan Ning's hundred horsemen boasted by Romance is just an exaggeration.
Not only Luo Guanzhong, the author of the romance, but even Sun Quan at that time deliberately exaggerated Gan Ning's military exploits.
Sun Quan's actions were just to establish a heroic image in Eastern Wu, so as to alleviate the fear of the Eastern Wu people for Zhang Liao after the Battle of Xiaoyaojin.
In real history, Gan Ning did lead people to sneak under Cao Cao's camp, pull out the antlers, and rush into Cao Ying's camp. But the results of the battle are not very exaggerated, but they are returned by dozens of levels.
However, Sun Quan at that time was overjoyed, rewarded Gan Ning with a thousand silk horses and a hundred war knives, and then said: "Meng De has Zhang Liao, and there is Gan Xingba alone, which is enough to be an enemy." ”
On the battlefield, the success of the camp robbery can certainly win more with less. However, when there is too much difference in the strength of the two sides, it is difficult to make a big difference.
In most cases, the purpose of the camp is simply to disturb the enemy army and demoralize the enemy.
Last night, Tian Feng heard the shouting and killing on the other side, which lasted until the early hours of the morning, and he knew that it was not good.
If it was Chen Xu and the others, they would only rush and kill in the Xianbei Village for a while, and then quickly retreat. So the Xianbei people couldn't figure out the reality of the Yellow Turban Army, and their forces had not yet been assembled, so they definitely didn't dare to pursue rashly.
However, Chen Xu led the Yellow Turban Army to fight in the Xianbei people's village, fighting for half a night. After such a long confrontation, even if it was a robbery camp, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army not to pay a huge price.
"I hope the lord can return safely."
Tian Feng looked at the newborn morning sun, looking at the Xianbei camp on the other side of the river that was still emitting black smoke, and muttered to himself.
"Military division, military division, the lord is back with a few generals!"
Tian Feng was in a daze when he suddenly heard the shouts of the soldiers. When he came to his senses, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Take me to the lord quickly!" ”
Tian Feng hurriedly took some soldiers over, but saw more than a dozen lonely figures, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Chen Xu, Chen Hu, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhao Huang, Tang Chen, and more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers.
But where is Li Guo? Where are the rest of the soldiers?
Chen Xu took the generals and walked forward step by step. Their armor had long been soaked in blood, and they looked particularly dazzling in the light of the morning sun.
Chen Xu's helmet didn't know where it fell, and his long hair was scattered over his shoulders, mixed with some plasma. I don't know if it's the enemy's, or if it's his own.
Zhao Huang covered his left arm, Tang Chen walked with a limp, and even the brave Dian Wei was injured.
Tian Feng stepped forward and shouted, "Lord! ”
Chen Xu looked at Tian Feng and the soldiers behind him, and did not speak, just dragged the spear in his hand and walked towards the location of the school field step by step.
"Knock knock!"
Before the three-way drum passed, the Yellow Turban Army in Dazhai had all gathered on the school ground.
They looked at the dozen or so, their bodies soaked in blood, and their eyes were a little astringent.
Of the more than 500 people, only a dozen returned. With such a tragic battle, if it were an ordinary team, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
Looking around and looking at all the Yellow Turban soldiers surrounding the school field, Chen Xu said in a deep voice: "Five hundred brothers crossed the river with me, but only a dozen of us were able to come back alive. ”
He thought of the young man named Shishi, and when he talked about Li Guo's death, his heart was full of sadness.
Holding back the tears, he continued: "There are some of them, I don't even know their names; Some of them are my brothers who have been with me day and night, and have even saved my life. ”
"In this way, they all died in battle, at the hands of the Xianbei people!"
After a pause, Chen Xu suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "However, the Xianbei people have paid a greater price than us!" ”
"They numbered at least 20,000 men, and were scattered by our mere 500 men; There were 2,000 of them, and they died by the swords of their brothers who had died in battle. ”
"Not only that, but we also let go of half of the Xianbei people's war horses; Their grain and grass have been burned by us! ”
"Although we sacrificed a lot, the blood of the soldiers was not shed in vain!"
"We used our war knives and our blood to tell those Xianbei people who slaughtered our compatriots: Those who offend our Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"
……
The soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and shouted in a heartless voice, and the sound was heard far away.
The people in the vicinity heard this voice, and many of them burst into tears.
In the Xianbei camp, the tribal leaders who could understand the Han language also changed their faces after hearing this voice.
After the soldiers' emotions calmed down, Chen Xu said again: "Our results this time are far more than that. Even the Xianbei Khan was killed by Li Guoqushuai, who died in battle! ”
Hearing this astonishing news, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were stunned at first, and then they all cheered loudly: "Long live! Banzai! ”
Even Tian Feng on the side showed a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that this raid by the Yellow Turban Army would be able to achieve such great results.
If the Xianbei Khan is really killed, then the leaders of the various Xianbei tribes who already have evil intentions will definitely fall into the struggle for power and profit again. Xianbei, once unified and powerful, will be torn apart again.
Thinking of this, Rao is Tian Feng himself, and he couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Not to mention that in the Yellow Turban military camp, Chen Xu said sensational words. But it was said that in the Xianbei camp, a very interesting thing also happened.
Li Guo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, shot an arrow to kill the Xianbei Khan wearing golden armor.
They didn't know that this Xianbei Khan was just an impostor. And the real Helian has long since taken refuge in a very remote place.
It wasn't until after the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army in Tianming that He Lian dared to come out.
At that time, the sky was dark, and the Yellow Turban Army took the heads of fake Helian and fought in the Xianbei camp. It didn't take long for this fake Xianbei Khan head to be snatched back by the warriors of the Tuoba tribe.
In order to regain Helian's head, the warriors of the Tuoba tribe paid an extremely heavy price.
This is not to say that the leader of Tuoba really respects Helian, on the contrary, he is an ambitious tribal leader.
In addition, the Tuoba tribe is also a super tribe among the Xianbei. Therefore, in order to get more people's support after the death of the Khan, the leader of the Tuoba tribe desperately snatched back the head of the fake Helian.
But after snatching it back, the leader of the Tuoba tribe knew that the head was fake. At this time, he realized that Helian was not dead. Suddenly he was furious.
Fortunately, one of his subordinates was quite scheming, so he whispered to him: "Chief, now all the Xianbei people know that Helian is dead, and only us people know that he is not dead. ”
"In that case, why don't I wait and do it......"
The man didn't finish his sentence, but just made a motion with his hand to wipe his neck.
The leader of the Tuoba tribe suddenly woke up.
Yes, now everyone thinks the Khan is dead. As long as he can find Helian and quietly kill him, then he can completely push Helian's death on the head of the Yellow Turban Army.
And the warriors of their Tuoba tribe became heroes who recaptured the head of the Khan. When the time comes, as the leader of the Tuoba tribe, his status in the hearts of the Xianbei people will definitely increase greatly.
Although Helian was not loved by the Xianbei people, he was the khan of the Xianbei people after all, and the son of Tanshi Huai. It was also a great achievement to be able to take his head back from the Han Chinese.
Therefore, the leader of the Tuoba tribe suddenly came from his heart, so he sent his henchmen to take advantage of the chaos to quietly go out to find Helian.
After the Yellow Turban Army retreated, Helian just appeared, and he happened to be bumped into by the Tuoba tribe. Without saying a word, they killed several of Helian's cronies, and then captured Helian in front of the tribal leader of Tuoba.
Without any suspense, Kazuren was killed by the tribal leader of Tuoba. They replaced the fake Helian head that they had snatched from the Yellow Turban Army with the real Helian's head.
After that, the leader of the Tuoba tribe slaughtered all his cronies. However, he declared to the public that these people were fighting to the death when they snatched the Khan's head.
By mistake, Li Guo shot the fake Helian. But everyone thought that he was killing the real Xianbei Khan at that time.
Even in the history books of later generations, it is also recorded: In the seventh year of Guanghe, Xianbei gathered 50,000 troops to go south, and was shot to death by Li Guo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army.
The infighting of the Xianbei people undoubtedly brought the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army to the peak.
When the news of the death of Xianbei Khan and Lian spread, all the nearby people began to cheer and praise the Yellow Turban Army for their bravery and loyalty.
In a small mountain village on the east bank of the Yuhe River, an old man summoned the people of the village and said to them: "I heard that the Yellow Turban Army has no food in the army, so they have sent many messengers to borrow food from nearby villages. ”
"They said that whether we would lend them food or not was of our own free will; They also said that if they were willing to lend them food, it would only take five days, and they would pay it back in double. ”
"I gathered you together to ask you what you think, whether you want to lend the Yellow Turban Army food."
The old man had a high prestige in the village, and when the people heard his words, they were all silent.
