Chapter 0367: Dig a Pit
Li Yi took Dian Wei and Tai Shici, as well as three hundred personal guards, to the Yuan Shu camp.
These entourage guards were all selected by the elite of the whole army, and they could at least serve as officers above the commander of the garrison wherever they were placed in other princes. But in Li Yi's personal guards, they can only be ordinary soldiers. But even so, being able to enter it is still the highest dream of more than 200,000 soldiers in the entire northern Xinjiang.
And the two generals Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong that Li Yi summoned before going south were among them, and their positions were military candidates, but they were actually only captains of 100 people.
In Li Yi's personal guard army, the position of general colonel is one level higher than that of other ordinary armies. The army can only lead a hundred people, that is, a tun of people; Jun Sima can only lead 500 people, that is, a song of men; The lieutenant can only lead 2,000 people, that is, one man.
The pro-guard army had a total of 6,000 men in three divisions, one led by Li Yi himself, and one each led by Tai Shici and Dian Wei.
Yuan Shu's camp is also outside Sujube City, not too far from Li Yi's camp. Half an hour later, Li Yi came to Yuan Shu's camp.
Entering Yuan Shu's camp, Li Yi saw that Yuan Shu's soldiers were all red and red, worthy of guarding grain and grass. More than 20,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 control the camp. In addition, more than 10,000 people were busy, loading bags of grain into trucks and sending them out of the camp to the camps of the princes.
When he saw Li Yi coming, he didn't dare to slack off knowing his prestige, so he led him to the big tent, and sent soldiers to inform his lord first.
Li Yi saw that the camp was full of loaded grain, so he pretended to be casual and said: "General Sun is the striker, and he has a heavy responsibility, I don't know where his grain can be sent?" β
The soldier did not doubt that he was there, so he replied, "Half of the truck has been loaded, and it will be delivered tomorrow." β
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Yuan Shu did not send Sun Jian's grain and grass, which caused Sun Jian's army to be disheartened and defeated by Huaxiong. Li Yi felt a little unbelievable, because Yuan Shu had a good relationship with Sun Jian before. How could Sun Jian's grain and grass be missing? Now it seems that this is the case, Yuan Shu will not fail to send grain and grass to Sun Jian.
After a while, when he came to the big tent, Li Yi saw five or six people walking away quickly wearing cloaks, although the cloak was wide, it was difficult to hide his slender figure. The buttocks twisted and twisted, obviously a woman.
Li Yi couldn't help but complain:, sure enough, the family is so good! However, Yuan Shu is much more than Yuan Shao, and he dares to recruit women to accompany him in his own camp.
You must know that since ancient times, it has been strictly forbidden to bring women in the army. Of course. Except for female generals like Mu Guiying, after all, their identities are different. However, there are not many such figures, before the Han Dynasty, there are really historical records to be examined, that is, the wife of the Shang Dynasty monarch Wu Ding.
In the entire Han Dynasty, because of the relatively high social status of women, there were not a few women in the army, but there were basically no people who could really reach the level of generals. As for the records in historical sources. Not a single one. However, there were two leaders of the peasant uprising who were identified as anti-thieves, one was Lu Mu, who was one of the earliest leaders of the peasant uprising against Wang Mang's rule in the late Western Han Dynasty, and the first female leader of the peasant uprising in Chinese history. The other one is Chi Zhaoping. She joined the peasant rebel army a few years later than LΓΌ's mother.
When the soldiers accompanying Li Yi saw the figure, they showed a trace of greed, and then woke up and said, "Hussar general, please!" β
Li Yi took Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei into the big tent. Immediately smelled a woman's fragrance, as well as the smell of wine.
"Hahaha, the hussar general is here. If you miss the distance, forgive your sins! Yuan Shu got up and greeted him.
"Brother Highway, we haven't seen each other for many years, and we haven't had a chance to gather here this time. Today, the younger brother is finally free, and he came to visit his brother. Li Yi said with a smile.
After pacifying the Yellow Turban, Li Yi once spent some time in Luoyang, the capital division. During this period, he had dealings with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and even fought with Cao Cao, the opponent was Zhang Ji, the current general under Dong Zhuo, and the target of the fight was the Zou family, who has now become Li Yi's second wife.
It's just that more than five years have passed, and the little friendship at the beginning has long faded.
Yuan Shu saw that Li Yilai was close to him, and felt very embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Brother Peng Feixian doesn't know anything, and I want to be close to you as a brother, but I am busy with official business and have never been free, please sit, please sit." β
Li Yi pouted secretly, and said in his heart that your kid is more fake than what I said, you have time to play with women, and you have no time to make friends with me!
Li Yi slandered his abdomen, and sat down in the banquet, and Dian Wei and Tai Shici stood behind.
As soon as Li Yi pondered, he sent Dian Wei and Tai Shici out to wait, and then said to Yuan Shu: "Brother Highway, you and I are really boring to drink. Just now, I saw a few figures suspected of being women leaving, so I might as well call back again. β
He sniffed his nose and said, "It smells so good!" Then he winced his eyebrows.
Li Yi acted like this, but he deliberately approached Yuan Shutao, and he was easy to talk for a while.
As soon as Yuan Shu saw his eyes, he remembered that when Li Yi was in Luoyang, Beijing, he beat someone with Cao Cao in order to rob a woman, and he knew that this was a person in my generation. didn't care, and said: "Since Brother Peng Feixian has this Yaxing, he will naturally not let you down." Someone, call them back. β
Not long after, eight handsome singers walked in.
The next step is to drink and play.
When the interest was high, Li Yi felt that it was time to dig a pit, so he moved his hand from the peak of a **** singer, toasted Yuan Shu, and then said: "Brother Highway, if we break Dong Zhuo this time, we will re-enter the center." Highway and the first brother, when a door four worlds and five dukes! β
He said very clearly, when the time comes, your brother will be rewarded, and you will also be able to be the third duke.
Yuan Shu had some drunkenness, so he grabbed it in the arms of the singer, and the singer didn't dare to shout when she was in pain, but she smiled more and more. Yuan Shu was very happy, and said proudly: "What is the third duke, now Peng Feixian brother, aren't you already the great Sima hussar general above the third duke...... Haha, I drove Dong Zhuo away, and I should also be Xiangguo. β
Li Yixin said that your kid's ambition is not small, and now you want to be a minister under one person and above ten thousand people, no wonder you dare to be the first emperor in the future.
Li Yi sighed deeply and pushed the singer out of his arms.
Yuan Shu was inexplicable when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Brother Peng Feixian, Brother Wentai's attack on the Tiger Prison Pass is very smooth, Xu Rong's kid's army is short of food, and he is about to achieve great things, why does Peng Fei sigh?" β
Li Yi hurriedly dug the pit deep and said: "General Sun is brave, we are not as good as waiting, if we defeat Dong Zhuo, General Sun must be the first meritorious, we only have the horse's head to look forward, and the mountains look up." β
How could Yuan Shu not know the meaning of his words, and think about it. If Sun Jian makes the first contribution, let alone Xiangguo, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get the position of the third prince.
When he saw that Li Yi brought it up first, he didn't doubt him, waved off the singer, and asked alone: "Brother Pengfei, what do you think?" β
Yuan Shu took the initiative to jump into the pit, Li Yi laughed in his heart, and just said: "The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass will go first." There is not a lot of grain and grass in our army, so this time I specially asked Brother Highway to give me a few more days of grain and grass, can I? β
Yuan Shu knew the meaning of his words when he heard this, and said in his heart that all the officials in Beijing said that Li Pengfei was a martial artist who didn't know anything except fighting, and it seemed that the rumors were not credible.
muttering in his heart, Yuan Shu was silent on the surface, and immediately laughed: "Pengfei, where is this, the friendship between you and me must give more food." β
So, Li Yi left Yuanshu Dazhai with the grain that should have been given to Sun Jian, and of course the grain and grass that should have been given to him were not missing.
Looking at the grain and grass for half a month, Li Yi sighed secretly: "Sun Jian, Sun Jian, don't blame me, Dong Fatzi can't fail for the time being, only if you are wronged, you will lose first." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Under the Tiger Prison, Sun Jian was also waiting for grain and grass while attacking Guancheng. Xu Rongjun on the border was short of food, and there was not much grain and grass left in his army.
Sun Jian had not waited for the delivery of the grain and grass of the rear army, but Xu Rong, who was closed, waited for reinforcements.
After receiving Xu Rong's urgent letter for help, Dong Zhuo considered that now the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials had just left Luoyang and migrated to Chang'an, if the Tiger Prison Pass was lost and the army of the princes came, Luoyang would definitely not be able to hold it, and maybe even the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials would be robbed by the army of the princes. Therefore, Dong Zhuo did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the general Hu Zhen to lead 20,000 horses from his headquarters to Hugao Pass to replace Xu Rong in guarding the pass.
This Hu Zhen is not the deputy general of Huaxiong who was slaughtered by Cheng Pu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but Dong Zhuo's cronies.
Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, that is, when he was still a former general, he had four major lieutenant generals, namely Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Duan Xuan.
However, there is a lieutenant under Hu Zhen, named Hua Xiong.
Hu Zhen replaced Xu Rong to garrison the Tiger Prison Pass, and Sun Jian already felt that the situation was not good. First, the grain and grass in his army were almost exhausted, and the morale of the army was already a little fluctuating; Second, when he fought with the rebels in Western Xinjiang in his early years, he knew that Hu Zhen was a very good person in fighting, and he was definitely Dong Zhuo's cronies. The army under his command is also the elite of the Xiliang army.
At this time, Sun Jian already had the intention of retreating, just because he was a forward general, and he did not dare to retreat without receiving the coach's order.
Just when Sun Jian was hesitating, that night, Hu Zhen sent Hua Xiong to lead 5,000 men and horses to sneak out of the Tiger Prison Pass and attack Sun Jian's camp.
And that night happened to be cloudy, and there was a strong wind. The so-called moon dark murder night, the wind is high and the sky is set on fire, and being attacked by someone on such a night, Sun Jian's miserable fate is needless to say.
Anyway, when Sun Jian escaped from the Tiger Prison Pass, there were less than 10,000 people left in the 20,000 army under his command, but fortunately, most of these horses were the main force he had led to the southern and northern wars over the years, but the men and horses of Wang Rui and Zhang Shi who had been recruited some time ago were all gone. Some of them were beheaded or captured by the Huaxiong army, and some of them became deserters and absconded while they were in chaos.
Sun Jian can be said to have returned to the pre-liberation period. (To be continued.) )
