Chapter 1911 Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness, Gong Jin’s Talent
Below Jiangling City, the offensive seems to be continuing.
Cheng Pu looked at the figure wearing bright armor standing on the high platform far behind him and frowned.
"Captain! The time has come!"
The soldiers who were watching the engraving reported loudly.
Cheng Pu came back to his senses, looked at Jiangling City, raised his arms, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Attack!"
……(*???? Pan`)……
"what is that?"
Several soldiers stood on the top of the hill, pointing to the distant top of the hill in front of them, and there seemed to be some unusual movement.
An older scout leader looked carefully and couldn't help but change his expression, "No, the birds and beasts are flying, and there are people and horses coming! Go and report to the governor..."
……╰(‵□′)╯……
Tadun looked at the mountains and forests ahead, sitting unsteadily on his horse, feeling somewhat proud in his heart.
According to Cao Cao, he wanted Tadun to cross the river and go to Jiangdong to plunder, but Tadun refused.
The leader of his men didn't seem to understand very well. He came to Tadun's side and asked, "Honorable Chanyu, didn't you hear that there is more money and food in Jiangdong? Why don't we go?"
"What are we going to Jiangdong for? We are the sons of the earth, what are we without the earth?" Tadun sneered twice, "Think about it, if we went to Jiangdong and that guy took the boat away, we would still be able to come back."
Are you coming? This short boy has no good intentions!"
The Wuhuan tribe leader suddenly realized this and immediately praised Tadun.
Tadun burst out laughing: "Men! Work harder! We are almost to Jiangling! Jiangling also has a lot of money, food and grass, and there are also many delicate women! How much you can take depends on the ability of the men!"
"Ohhhhhhh!"
The Wuhuan people responded one after another, and then startled many birds in the mountains and forests.
That's right, the Wuhuan people refused to go south to Jiangdong, but chose to sneak attack Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's retreat in Jiangling.
But from Hefei to Jiangling, the waterway is relatively wide, but the land route requires climbing over mountains and ridges. Fortunately, these mountainous and forested areas are not as insurmountable as those in the northwest, and Wuhuan people can still pass through them to some extent.
Three thousand people and horses formed a long queue and walked through the mountains and forests.
……╭(′▽`)╭(′▽`)╯……
Cao Cao was on the earth platform, looking at Jiangxia City in the distance, then waved and called Cao Pi over: "Tell me, why don't we go directly to attack Jiangdong?"
Cao Pi has been practicing in the army for the past two years, and his complexion has become much darker. Perhaps due to the high amount of activity in the army, his stature has also become much taller. At a glance, he looks almost like an adult.
Cao Pi also gradually got used to being hung up and beaten by Cao Cao from time to time, so he pondered for a moment and said: "If it weren't for him, there would be no boat..."
Although Cao Cao collected some ships, they were still insufficient. It was probably okay to transport two to three thousand people, but if he wanted to transport tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, it was simply not enough.
Cao Cao nodded and asked, "If we have ships, can we attack Jiangdong?"
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this matter. He frowned and remained silent.
Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but still looked up into the distance, as if the roars and screams of the soldiers attacking the city in the distance were like music, he was happy and contented.
After a while, Cao Pi said slowly: "There are ships, so judging from the current situation, we can't attack Jiangdong..."
"Why?" Cao Cao asked with a slight smile.
"If we attack Jiangdong, Xu County will definitely be empty..." Cao Pi said, and his eyes gradually gained some sharpness, "If Sun Zhongmou abandons the cauldron and sinks the boat and attacks the north, it will be like when Xiang Yu fought against Julu... And we and others
Jiangdong may not be attainable, and if it loses its foundation, I'm afraid it's too much to blame..."
Cao Cao laughed loudly, nodded and said: "Yes, yes... so although Jiangdong is empty now, it cannot be attacked quickly..." To put it simply, although Sun Quan is leading a heavy army outside, if Cao Cao were to attack Jiangdong, would he send few people?
It's like giving away. If there are too many people, it's like changing homes.
Changes of family have always been unsuccessful, and even if the change of family is successful, Cao Cao has changed from Jizhou and Yuzhou, which was a relatively good area in the Han Dynasty, to Sun Quan's land east of the Yangtze River. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss.
Therefore, even if it is clear that Jiangdong is empty, it is impossible to attack Jiangdong directly. Instead, Sun Quan must be eliminated first.
Only after defeating Sun Quan and the entire region stabilized, Cao Cao could consider attacking Jiangdong Wu County and other places.
Cao Cao suddenly asked again: "Wuhuan attacked Jiangling. What do you think, my son?"
Cao Cao himself was prepared with both hands. If the Wuhuan people were willing to stupidly kill Jiangdong, it would be better. The so-called 50-50 split was just Cao Cao's cover-up. If he was not careful, he fell into the trap of the so-called 50-50 split and did not notice it.
The danger of Jiangdong is to discuss whether it is 37, 28, or even 19. As long as Tadun is fooled, Cao Cao will naturally obtain greater benefits than those mere property and food.
Tadun is not considered smart, so he did not fall into Cao Cao's first pit, but he is also not considered smart, because Tadun only saw the first pit, and then fell into the second pit.
Yes, according to common sense, if the Jiangdong Army in Jiangling is unprepared, and then Tadun leads the Wuhuan people to raid the Jiangdong Army, then naturally they can obtain a large amount of money and supplies in the Jiangling area. It seems to be less risky than going to Jiangdong.
It's much smaller, but actually it's still a pit.
For Cao Cao, after Fei Qian left Heluo and returned to Guanzhong, the role that the Wuhuan people could play was greatly reduced, and they had to pay so much money. Naturally, he felt unhappy. At the same time, Jiangxia attacked the city.
During the battle, the Wuhuan cavalry could not be used for any purpose, so they simply used the Wuhuan people to mobilize Jiangdong...
As for Wuhuan's victory or defeat, Cao Cao actually didn't care. It would be better to win, but it would be good to lose.
Cao Pi thought about it for a long time, "I'm afraid it may be invincible..."
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "What if we can't win?"
Cao Pi's eyes moved from side to side, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "My father's intention is..."
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed and stroked his beard without answering.
…(??^^`)…
"How far does this have to go?"
Although the Wuhuan people were still excited at the beginning, as time went by, they gradually became tired from the boring and boring march in the mountains and forests.
To bypass Jiangxia and go to Jiangling, the easiest way is to take a boat, but the journey is long and you have to go upstream, which is naturally quite difficult for the Wuhuan people. And there is only one more suitable road through the mountains.
That is to say, go from Anlu to Yundu, and then go to the state of Bo, and then you can go straight to Jiangling.
The Wuhuan troops were not moving very fast, which made many Wuhuan people impatient. Some people began to urge them, but Tadun said it was better to be careful. This route was like a pipe, sloping
It is placed between two mountain ranges. If it is blocked and the cavalry cannot move, it will naturally be bad.
After walking for more than twenty miles, a sentinel came to report that there was a small city ahead, which seemed to be called Yundu.
Tadun asked: "Did you find us?"
Wuhuan Sentinel shook his head and said: "There is nothing unusual. He probably didn't notice us coming..."
Tadun was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to speed up, and under the cover of nightfall, they headed straight for Yundu County.
Yundu County is the node in this natural pipeline, and to the north of Yundu County is Green Forest Mountain. It is said that during the reign of Wang Mang, Green Forest was the place where Lu Lin raised his troops. Of course, there is no way to know whether it is true or false, but one thing is
It is certain that in the Green Forest Mountain, the woods are dense and the vegetation is deep.
Because of the constant disputes in the Jianghuai area, as early as Yuan Shu's time, anyone with some property in this area had already ran away with a bucket, and those who remained were often those who could not walk or ran away with a bucket.
There is no capital, so there are not many people and soldiers in Yundu County, so there is no way to send scouts to investigate around on weekdays.
The Wuhuan people rushed out from the deep dusk, and Yundu County was caught off guard. The city gate was knocked open, and then the whole city fell.
The Wuhuan troops roared excitedly. For them, the small city of Yundu was like the first war bonus they had received. A victorious and bright future was right in front of them. They were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
, shouting loudly, galloping on horseback, smashing things all over the city, breaking open doors, rushing into houses, looting utensils, venting their animal desires, from night to dawn, they finally calmed down a little.
Naturally, Tadun was in a good mood, and fell into a deep sleep. Next to his feet were the newly snatched weak women, with bruises and bruises, curled up and trembling...
A war horse suddenly raised its head, raised its neck and looked into the distant night. Immediately, the war horses clustered together in one place seemed to have discovered something, and began to stand up, and some roared uneasily, but those
The Wuhuan people who had been partying all night were extremely relaxed physically and mentally. It was also at dawn, and everyone was sleeping like a dead pig. They did not immediately notice the unusual behavior of the war horses.
Several Wuhuan soldiers on guard duty were either leaning against the wall or huddled in the corner, nodding their heads up and down, half asleep and half awake.
In the cold wind at dawn in autumn, there seems to be some sharp smell wafting out...
The restlessness of the war horses became louder and louder, and some subtle vibrations and sounds gradually spread. In the darkness that did not recede, something seemed to be moving, staring viciously at the Wuhuan people in Yundu.
.
Suddenly, war drums roared into the sky, and it seemed like countless soldiers rushed out from the Green Forest Mountain and rushed towards Yundu!
The Wuhuan sentry on duty was awakened, and then stared blankly at the charging soldiers with his eyes wide open. After being stunned for a long time, he hurriedly grabbed the ox horn around his waist and slammed it into his mouth.
He even broke his lip because he used too much force, and traces of blood flowed down along with the sound of the horn.
Tadun jumped up from his sweet dream while dangling naked, then shook his head and looked around, as if to confirm his location. Soon after, he more or less woke up and yelled to ask what happened.
"Enemy attack, enemy sneak attack..."
The frightened and shrill screams instantly tore through the darkness, accompanied by the first ray of sunlight.
Tadun kicked away a woman who was shivering beside the bed, and then just had time to pull on her leather robe before rushing out of the door. Throwing it on her body, she shouted: "Blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet! Hurry! Hurry to meet the enemy."
!Meet the enemy!』
He slapped the horn soldier who had just climbed up outside the room and staggered him. He yelled viciously: "Blow the trumpet quickly! Otherwise I will kill you!"
Finally, the trumpet sound that represented the gathering to meet the enemy was sounded, and then the chaotic and scattered sounds were sounded in various places in the city. The Wuhuan soldiers who had been crazy all night were awakened from their sleep, and then they got up sleepily one by one, feeling dizzy.
It's almost impossible to find the southeast, northwest, or east.
When Tadun saw the Han soldiers rushing out from the Green Forest Mountain, he couldn't help but feel angry and frightened. These cunning Han people were actually hiding in the mountains. When he was most paralyzed, he stretched out his sword and spear!
Tadun shouted: "Kill! Kill directly! You can't stay in the city, kill out!" The enemy came too suddenly, and the distance between them was too close. There was no time for him to organize a queue and organize a defense, so he could only directly attack
If there is a chaotic fight, rush out to get more space for movement.
……(〃＞ dishes＜)……
Zhou Yu looked at Yundu County at the foot of the mountain with an expressionless face.
Zhou Yu also wanted to steal Cao Cao's escape route, so he asked Cheng Pu to use his own banner. Then in order not to let Cao Cao notice it, he abandoned his boat and traveled in the mountains and forests to hide his whereabouts. As a result, he ended up in this miraculous passage of nature.
Encountered the Wuhuan people.
But unlike the careless Wuhuan people, Zhou Yu's scouts noticed the unusual phenomenon of birds flying in the forest and promptly informed Zhou Yu.
Therefore, Yundu County has become a bait to lure the Wuhuan people. Yundu County is backed by a mountain on one side and has city gates on three sides. Because it is close to the mountains, the city is not too big, and it is in a mountain city because it is convenient to obtain local materials.
, many people build houses with thatched bamboo and wood structures.
In fact, most of the cities near mountains in the Han Dynasty have similar structures. After all, it is more convenient to cut down bamboo and wood in the mountains. However, if rammed earth and stones are needed as a house structure, it is not something that people in remote areas like Yundu can afford to support.
of.
There were some common people in Yundu City, but not too many. There was no county magistrate, and only a lame county captain remained with more than 20 veterans. When Zhou Yu came, he opened the door without any resistance.
city gate...
When Zhou Yu left Yundu, he ordered his soldiers to disperse into the surrounding mountains and forests, and picked up some dry firewood and dead branches. He said that it would save the people in Yundu City from some hard work, and even sent people to clean the city.
Inside and outside...
The people of Yundu stared blankly at Jiangdong soldiers busy, piling dry firewood on both sides of the street and under the eaves. They did not even want anything from them, and did not accept their offer to stay, so the people of Yunshe burst into tears of gratitude.
It means that Jiangdong soldiers are unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, and Qiu has no offense. They are simply an army of benevolence and righteousness that is rare in the world.
"Benevolence and righteousness...the way of this world..." Zhou Yu sneered, "Send the order! Attack!"
Huang Gai's face was full of murderous intent and he was fierce. He held guns in both hands and raised his head and roared: "Kill! Kill..."
The soldiers from Jiangdong followed suit and roared, waving their swords and guns. Like a surging tide, they divided into three sides and rushed straight into Yundu County. Their shouts of killing shook the sky and the sky.
Wuhuan's soldiers were frightened by the onrushing Han soldiers. They were panic-stricken, frightened, and extremely frightened. They were all running back and forth in the streets of Yundu, shouting and scrambling. The leaders of each group were tapping the horns of the bulls.
Under the command of the trumpet, I forced myself to stay calm and kept shouting loudly to summon my subordinates, but it was too late...
In the blink of an eye, the impact formations in three directions were like three hammers thrown hard, making a deafening roar, roaring and slamming into the Wuhuan people's unformed array, and the generals were still pouring in.
The Wuhuan people who came out were blocked near the city gate!
Huang Gai jumped up high, then raked the thorns with his spear, stabbing and killing the two Wuhuan soldiers on the spot who were running back to avoid the impact. The Jiangdong soldiers behind Huang Gai rushed in in layers, ravaging them wantonly and unable to run.
The Wuhuan soldiers came out.
The Wuhuan people were running, screaming, flying in the air, and groaning under swords and guns.
Jiangdong soldiers were slashing and roaring, squeezing the Wuhuan people's space bit by bit, blocking them more and more, making them unable to move. They could only sit on their horses and roar angrily but could do nothing.
A Wuhuantou man tried to use his horse to clear a path, but before he could run with the horse, several Jiangdong soldiers cut off the horse's legs. The horse's huge body slumped, and the Wuhuantou man also
He flew out with inertia and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, several spears had already pierced him to the ground!
There were also a few Wuhuan people who claimed to be brave, and when their horses were unable to move easily, they simply jumped off their horses and tried to fight Jiangdong soldiers on the ground. However, they had no equipment, and secondly, their scattered counterattacks were no match for the Jiangdong soldiers who formed a formation.
After being chopped into pieces, even though the Wuhuan people fought like crazy, they all died one after another under the siege of Jiangdong soldiers.
Tadun and a dozen guards fought and fled, preparing to rush out of the city gate and escape back to Jiangxia and Cao Cao's side, but the Jiangdong soldiers who fought all the way in were keeping a close eye on them. Huang Gai rushed at the front, never leaving the enemy's guns.
The key point was that Jiangdong soldiers followed him in formation, and the soldiers who couldn't get forward kept firing cold arrows at the Wuhuan people, causing Tadun to be unable to rush out for a while!
"Come here! Set fire!" Zhou Yu, who was on the green forest hillside, saw that the Wuhuan people had been completely blocked in Yundu City, so he ordered in a deep voice.
"Captain! But in the city..." The military lord on the side hesitated a little, and then saw Zhou Yu's turned gaze, and he shuddered, "I obey your order!"
The firewood torches thrown into Yunshe City quickly ignited many wooden and bamboo houses in the city, as well as dry firewood and dead branches piled on the streets and under the eaves. Thick smoke rose with the chaotic steaming of the fires.
The Wuhuan people were suddenly in chaos, as helpless as ants on a hot pot!
