Chapter 682: Xiahoudun is embarrassed
Cao Cao's Yangzhou Thorn History, although from a geographical point of view, Wen Hui's Yangzhou is not as good as one-third of the original.
But from the point of view of the official position, it is also a history of assassination.
The history of the thorns of the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty.
The history of assassination was not a high position in the prosperous era, because there were more valuable officials in the court and China than in the history of assassination. But now in troubled times, the world is in chaos.
Assassin history, the authority of the state pastor will be infinitely improved.
It is definitely a beautiful thing to go out to make a history of thorns.
But what about Wen Hui? was not blocked in Shouchun City by Tai Shici, but because the friendly army was in a hurry to turn, he caused the enemy to die in shame.
This is really a strange injustice for the ages.
"Your Excellency, Ma'am." Regardless of the guards on the left and right, and how the soldiers treated him, Wen Hui was already out of prestige, and his body was gradually cold.
"What's wrong?" The civil official in Zang Ba's seat suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. I couldn't help but be taken aback and asked loudly.
"The general is really Zang Ba, General Zang Xuangao?" Among the soldiers on the left and right, one looked at Zang Ba with tears in his eyes and asked.
"Exactly."
Zang Ba felt strange in his heart, but still replied.
"My lord, you are so wronged." The pro-soldier cried.
"What's wrong?"
Zang Ba turned over and dismounted, walked over on foot, and asked.
Along the way, there were many soldiers lined up. came to Wen Hui's side, looking at Wen Hui's pale face, Zang Ba couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
As he spoke, he didn't allow the soldiers to say anything, and immediately walked over to see if Wen Hui was still saved. But as a result, he couldn't breathe at all, and his whole body gradually became cold.
Zang Ba's heart sank to the bottom.
"General, our lord was disguised as the remnant of General Sun Guan by Chu General Tai Shi Ci and defrauded the city. As soon as he heard that there was a defeated army of Cao's army behind him, he immediately led us all the way. But it was only now that it was discovered that the general was really the remnants of the Cao army. Wen Hui was ashamed and angry, vomiting blood and died. The soldier said with a sad face.
To be honest, this way of dying is really very wretched.
It's obviously a misunderstanding, but it's really shocking to myself. He died in a fit of rage.
"How so?" At this time, Wu Dun also came to the vicinity of Zang Ba, and couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words, and he didn't know whether to cry or call him unlucky.
After a series of defeats, the dignified Yangzhou assassination history was actually scared to death by his own people.
If it gets out, how will this battle be fought? People are terrible, and people in the world are very superstitious. Yangzhou assassin Shi Wenhui died of fright after the Chu army captured Yangzhou.
Does this mean that Yangzhou should be Kou Feng's territory?
If they fight again, God won't be able to catch them.
If this kind of saying spreads in the army, this Yangzhou will not have to be taken back, and they should get out of the way as soon as possible.
"Ordered, at this time, it must not be leaked out. Whoever dares to divulge it will be killed immediately. Zang Ba looked at Wen Hui's corpse, although he was also a little sad, but he was more concerned about the battle ahead, and couldn't help but order loudly.
"But there are a lot of people." Wu Dun said with a wry smile.
Looking at the army that Wen Hui brought back, I am afraid that the establishment is not complete. How to manage it?
"We will return to Xuzhou first and compile them first. Ordered five people to be in one team. Set up the Captain. A team of 10 people, set up a long team. The commander of the army is ordered, and the chief is responsible for recording the names of the corporals. If there is any news leaked, as long as you can remember the names of these soldiers, you can slowly find out who leaked it. When the time comes, I will not be spared. Zang Ba said with a hideous face.
In fact, this may not work, but Zang Ba's purpose is not to prohibit, but to deter. Just let the soldiers know that this news is a forbidden area, and if you touch it, you will die.
When Dun heard this, he immediately went down to compile.
Soon after, Zang Ba incorporated this army of soldiers and horses, and the remnants of the two armies totaled five or six thousand people. Carrying Wen Hui's body, he set off towards Xuzhou.
Two days later, Zang Ba and others arrived outside the city of Xuzhou.
At this time, outside Pengcheng, there was a large camp of the Cao army.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin and other four people have gathered together, a total of 115,000 troops, it is today that they swear, planning to reinforce Yangzhou and drive away Kou Feng.
The 115,000-strong army, of course, is not all elite. Among them, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 elites. The rest are of the average state army level, and their combat effectiveness is somewhat worse than that of the elite.
At this moment, in the camp of a large colonel.
Among them, fifty or sixty thousand elites gathered together and lined up in a crowd.
They were well-armoured, spear-wielding, and their eyes were sharp. Although before the war, it was business as usual. It's really the Central Plains soldiers.
On the platform in front of the general, Xiahoudun and Le Jin were wearing golden armor and standing under the scorching sun, which was also majestic. Next to them, there is the power of the world, two of Cao Cao's five major advisers, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
Facing the more than 50,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers in front of him, the faint momentum. Feeling the wisdom behind him, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu who is above tens of millions of people.
Xiahoudun's confidence couldn't help but swell a lot.
There are elite soldiers, and there are plans. As long as there will be bravery, why can't you drive Kou Feng back to Jiangdong?
"Since the Yellow Turban, the prime minister has assisted the Son of Heaven to crusade against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and countless other traitors, such as today's early peace. People are determined, but there are still traitors who are making trouble. Jing Chu Kou was sealed, sealed in the Han Dynasty of Chu Hou Yingsha Embankment, the largest prince. But his body bathed in the kindness of the son of heaven, but he reciprocated, but he had wolf ambitions. Sitting on Jing Chu is not satisfied, and wants to annex Wu Yue. Now the army is heading, and it is between the Jianghuai and the Yangtze River. Today, Ben will swear here that he will support Yangzhou and leave no piece of armor behind the traitors. ”
Xiahoudun was arrogant and mobilized loudly.
In today's troubled times, the sense of belonging of the soldiers is actually insufficient, and they are somewhat dissatisfied with Xiahoudun's words.
But the officers at all levels around him, the colonel supervised. They also had to shout with all their strength.
"Support Yangzhou and crusade against the traitors."
"Support Yangzhou and crusade against the traitors."
"Support Yangzhou and crusade against the traitors."
“………………”
Fifty or sixty thousand people roared in unison, and in an instant, it could be regarded as overwhelming, and a sharp spirit rushed straight to the bullfight.
"The military heart is available." Xiahoudun and Le Jin glanced at each other and felt very satisfied.
Hou Dun shouted, raised his hands, and pressed down slightly. And the soldiers in the school yard were also very cooperative and shut up.
Just as Xiahoudun was going to swear an oath. Crusade against the rebel thief Kou Feng, when the murdered Kou Seal is not left.
A fast horse rushed in.
In the barracks, it is forbidden to ride horses. But when someone galloped on his horse, he must have brought an urgent military situation, so the soldiers did not dare to stop him.
Let the fast horse rush to the vicinity of the point of the platform.
"What's going on? Could it be a Yangzhou emergency? On the stage, Xiahoudun and Le Jin glanced at each other, and they both felt a little uneasy.
Now their army has just been mobilized, and the Yangzhou emergency has arrived. Whatever the case may be, it is very bad for them.
Is Zang Ba in danger in Lujiang, or is Lujiang lost?
If Lujiang is lost, this war will be difficult to fight. Originally, Kou Feng had just entrenched in Jiangdong, so he could take the opportunity to garrison troops in Lujiang and suppress Kou Feng's forces in Jiangdong, south of the Yangtze River, and the land of Wuyue.
But if Kou Feng's forces enter the north of the Yangtze River, that is, after the Lujiang River, this day will not be easy. Like a nail in the throat.
As long as Kou Ji can hold the Lujiang River, and then rely on the Yangtze River, according to the water transportation, make up for the military posture equipment. That's a situation where you can attack and retreat.
Yangzhou is constantly in turmoil.
Not only Xiahou Lejin, Xun You, and Cheng Yu couldn't help frowning.
But no matter how worried they were about the war ahead, they still had to listen to what the person who came to report had to say.
"Call him up." At this time, the man on horseback had already turned over and dismounted, and was stopped by the sergeant at the bottom of the platform. Xiahoudun stretched out his hand and said to a pro-soldier next to him.
The soldier promised and immediately walked down.
After a while, he called the knight who had ordered the podium.
When Xiahoudun and the others saw the knight, they couldn't help frowning, this knight didn't look very good, and he looked like he had suffered a lot. It doesn't look imposing.
It does seem to be bad news.
Is Lujiang besieged and the situation critical, or is Lujiang breached?
"Who are you? What's going on with the war ahead? Xiahoudun hurriedly asked.
"Report to General Xiahou, the little one is a military marquis under the account of General Zang Ba, and he was ordered to report the war in Yangzhou to the general." This rather embarrassed military marquis first introduced himself, and then quickly said: "Report to the general, the Lujiang River was broken, and the 15,000 people under General Zang's department were gone, and only a few thousand people remained. The city of Shouchun was broken, and there were only a few thousand people left in the 10,000-strong army. At present, the two armies are fighting near Pengcheng, and there are still five or six thousand people. Among them, Yangzhou assassin Shi Wenhui died of illness due to some misunderstandings when the two armies were rounding. ”
As he spoke, the military marquis explained the misunderstanding between the two sides in detail. Although Zang Ba planned to hide the cause of Wen Hui's death, he did not intend to hide Xiahoudun, Cao Cao and others.
"What did you say?" Xiahou couldn't help but lose his temper on the spot, grabbed the poor military marquis's collar, and said with a hideous face.
Not only Lujiang was lost, but also Shouchun and Hefei were lost. It is equivalent to the collapse of Yangzhou. And Yangzhou Thorn Shi Wenhui also died, so dead.
He was frightened to death.
How so, how so.
25,000 horses, plus two fortified cities. Zang Ba himself is a famous general in the world, and the Qingzhou soldiers led by him are even more Qingzhou soldiers.
In the past, the army that competed with Yuan Shao.
But the defeat was so miserable, a few days, only a few days.
Lost, lost. Defeat is clean. Xiahoudun didn't believe it, didn't believe it.
"It's true, such a big thing, how dare a small one talk nonsense?" Faced with Xiahou's fierce expression, Junhou was frightened and couldn't help but hurriedly explain.
"Mess with our army's heart. Damn it. But Xiahou was really out of shape, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, and planned to kill this military marquis.
"Yuan Rang. Knowing that false military information was a capital offense, he still came. It can be seen that the battle ahead is indeed the case. Calm down and think about how to deal with it. Next to him, Xun You sighed and said.! ~!
