Chapter 2074 The mountains are not high and the water is not deep
Chang'an.
Lishan is picturesque.
The autumn wind is strong.
There are many deciduous forests in Lishan Mountain. In autumn, they begin to gradually turn red. If you come to view the scenery at this time, it will have a unique charm.
Fei Qian stood on the top of the mountain and watched the scenery.
Next to him is Pang Tong.
In autumn, just like most animals start to put on autumn fat, Pang Tong became fat again. The fatter he got, the more homely he became, and then the Fat Home Happy Technique was activated continuously without CD, and his chins were so numerous that he almost looked at them.
The neck is missing.
So for the sake of Pang Tong's health, Fei Qian dragged Pang Tong to climb the mountain, and planned to climb it every three to five times from now on, which can be regarded as exercising Pang Tong's cardiopulmonary function. Otherwise, he really has to consider whether to leave Chang'an.
All the places containing the word "phoenix" have been changed...
Looking at the panting Pang Tong, Fei Qian smiled, then turned his head and looked into the distance.
Fei Qian had been keeping a low profile for a long time, and even showed some deliberate weakness, in order to make the surrounding princes groups be paralyzed and not rush to send troops to eliminate his emerging force - of course, this also has a prerequisite, Bingzhou Beidi
It is relatively remote and barren. On the other hand, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others all want to follow Liu Xiu's old path and want to use Yuzhou and Jizhou as their foundation. Naturally, they will not pay attention to Fei Qian in the early stage.
Strictly speaking, it was not entirely to show weakness to Yuan Cao, but also to the Xiliang thieves in Guanzhong. If after Dong Zhuo's fall, Xiliang thieves targeted Fei Qian, the result is really hard to say.
Fei Qian was born in a branch of the Heluofei family. He was young and did not do any gimmicks such as "lying on the ice to seek carp", so when it comes to fame, it is also general. For the Shanxi gentry, Cai Yong and Pang Degong were famous disciples.
Of course, the head is still sufficient, but when I met the group of people from Yingchuan in Yuzhou, it was only the generals who were qualified to travel.
"The Wei River is white in the autumn, and the Lishan Mountain is red in the evening." Fei Qian said slowly, "If you don't visit this mountain in person, how can you see this beautiful scenery?"
Pang Tong rolled his eyes, panted heavily and sweated profusely. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve, turned around and asked, "Water! Who has water?"
"Hahaha..." Fei Qian motioned to Huang Xu to find a water bag for Pang Tong.
Lishan Mountain was not famous in the Han Dynasty, and was even deliberately avoided. Lishan Mountain became a scenic spot for literati, probably in the Tang Dynasty, so there are few people visiting it now, and there are not so many poems praising Lishan Mountain in later generations. Could it be Lishan Mountain?
Will mountains really be beautiful only in later generations? Lishan has undergone earth-shaking changes since the Han Dynasty? Did Lishan suffer from PS or learned the art of disguise?
Pang Tong drank another half of the bag of water and felt much more comfortable. He stood unsteadily next to Fei Qian. He glanced to the left and to the right, "The mountains in this place are undulating and rarely flat. The water source is scarce and it is difficult to go up and down.
Not suitable for garrisoning.』
Fei Qian shook his head, "Who said I would station troops here?"
"Ah? Why come here to see the mountains and landscapes without troops stationed?" Pang Tong's face was full of grievances. I am a fat bird, not a fat tiger, not a fat tiger. Is it easy to climb this mountain? "What is the purpose of coming here, my lord?"
"There is a saying... called "If a mountain is not high, it will be famous if it has immortals"..." Fei Qian said slowly, "What do you think of this statement, Shi Yuan?"
"Does the Lord want to build a Taoist temple here? Huh? No..." Pang Tong began to pinch a few sparse beards on his chin and pondered.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s fat, the fat is so thick that even his beard can’t be pierced, or because he’s not old yet and his beard hasn’t grown yet, so Pang Tong’s current beard looks a bit decorative, I guess not.
, there are indeed some, but even if they are there, they are indeed very sparse.
The mountain mist comes slowly, lingering on the sleeves of the robe and the hem of the skirt, taking away the heat and allowing people to calm down and think calmly.
"My lord, do you mean to seek a name?" After a moment, Pang Tong said slowly, "Or is it to establish a name?"
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
There are advantages to keeping a low profile, but there are also disadvantages.
Fei Qian now traveled all the way, fighting Baibo to conquer Heishan, restoring Yin Mountain and leveling Sichuan, attacking Xianbei in the north, and driving Wusun in the west. Although he had made outstanding achievements and achieved numerous victories, there were still many Han people who only respected Fei Qian's foreign military exploits but despised them.
Fei Qian's internal governance attributed Fei Qian's victories to weapons, armor, and warriors. He thought that if he were in Fei Qian's position, even if he was not comparable, he would definitely not be far behind...
This is one of the shortcomings of Feiqian now.
Fei Qian went from being a white man to a general of the rank of Zhonglang, and then with the help of Dong Dongfeng, he swaggered into the sky. Then he reached the position he is today, and his strength expanded rapidly. If he shook or moved, the whole man would be shaken, but
This name is not followed, but it has not followed.
It's not the title of Cavalry General, but "reputation", or "popularity".
Power has a name, but it has two real powers.
The name is too real, probably like Yuan Shao, with the halo of the Fourth World and the Three Lords hanging on the back of his head. If Cao Cao, a short mule, hadn't taken advantage of Yuan Shao's unpreparedness and sneakily poked his halo with a stick, no one in the world would still want it.
How many years have I been immersed in "Model in the World"?
Then there are those who are overly famous, such as Cao Cao and Fei Qian.
Just like the sentence in the sketch of later generations, "You thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually rebelled against the revolution?" Although most people know that people should not be judged by their appearance, and they have learned from childhood that they should not judge people by their appearance, they still change.
The specially made eunuch is, uh, in the shape of a "Yan Dang" monkey, and it often turns into a chirping monkey...
Fame is another type of appearance.
Cao Cao did not do this well in history. On the one hand, it was because of Cao Cao's background. On the other hand, although Cao Cao was aware of it and took some measures, he did not make effective changes and the effect was average. Then Cao Pi
I am so anxious that I want to get hard on...
"Therefore, my lord, in the name of the "Northern Territory Protectorate"..." Pang Tong obviously thought of something, and said, "The so-called five-year period...could it be..."
Fei Qian nodded, shook his head, and said: "It is both virtual and real..."
Fei Qian pointed to the Lishan Mountain in front of him, "This mountain has been here since ancient times. Every year, it is here. Flowers bloom and leaves fall, year after year. Now it is not well-known. It is just ordinary earth and rocks, and it is unbearable."
If it is said that there are immortals in the mountains, they will definitely flock to them to see the beauty of the mountains and rocks. They think they are close to immortals and are imbued with eternal life, but in fact the mountains and rocks may be different? Given time, it is also said that the immortals will go away and leave this place empty.
Lishan...does Shiyuan think that it can eliminate all human traces?』
Pang Tong thought for a moment and shook his head.
Fei Qian smiled slightly, "So, if we talk about those who come after us, do they admire mountains or envy immortals?"
"This..." Pang Tong thought thoughtfully.
……<(￣︶￣)>……
Hefei New City is located on the land exposed by the degradation of Yunmengze. Cao Jun chose a piece of land like a floating island to build a walled city, and then connected it to the outside with a floating bridge. This formed a natural barrier. If he wanted to attack Hefei New City
, either you need to endure the slow progress of the swamp mud land, or you have to accept the embarrassment of a limited expansion area.
Near Hefei is the Great Lake.
Yu Jin is training his naval forces here. Although he is not as proficient as Wu Jun, it is just useless to sharpen his weapons in battle...
The most important problem is the proficiency of the navy, and the most important problem is the lack of ships.
Especially building boats.
On top of the building ships, not only are there big weapons such as ramrod ballistas, but even collisions with ships can make it difficult for small boats to compete, just like when there are no aircraft carriers, surface ships dominate the battleships.
The building boat, at the moment, is a deterrent on the water.
So naturally, Yu Jin began to build building ships in the big lake on the side of Hefei. Obviously, the construction of building ships cannot be accomplished overnight, and the construction of building ships also requires a relatively large place...
Jiangdong scouts detected such information and hurriedly reported it to Huang Gai, who had been patrolling near Hefei New City on guard.
After Huang Gai obtained the information, he confirmed its authenticity and sent the information to the rear, where Zhou Yu was originally stationed at Chaisang.
But the problem is that Zhou Yu is not in Chaisang now, he has gone to the front line.
Can Huang Gai be blamed for this? Obviously, it is impossible to blame Huang Gai for sending the message to the wrong place. After all, Zhou Yu couldn't go to the front line without publicity and shouting to the whole world. Huang Gai also sent the messenger to Chaisang.
It is impossible to say that we still need to ask where Zhou Yu is going. Like Agassi, he will not stop until he is handed over to the hands of the person involved.
What's more, did Huang Gai indicate that it would be given to Zhou Yu?
nor.
Therefore, this piece of information fell into Sun Quan's hands.
Sun Quan is in a hurry.
Seeing the progress day by day, the progress is not small, but it is definitely not big. There is Cao Cao's army in the north, and the South Vietnamese rebellion in the south. What's more important is that as time goes by, his own backyard starts to murmur and become weird. This Sun Quan
Can you not be anxious in your heart?
Therefore, Sun Quan rushed to Chaisang in a hurry, with the purpose of urging Zhou Yu to act as soon as possible. However, anyone with some military knowledge can understand that although the defense is slightly passive, it is generally easy to accumulate advantages. Otherwise, in the art of war,
I won’t specifically list a rule of “waiting for work”...
In addition, there are some differences between Jiangdong soldiers and Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers in terms of physical fitness, land fighting experience, and the quantity and quality of cavalry. If they want to take the initiative to attack, they will inevitably need to leave the navy.
Therefore, Zhou Yu’s strategy was similar to the plan for the Battle of Chibi in history, or it would not be possible.
A fight, if it starts, is the kind where the final word is final.
So Zhou Yu went to the front line to have an honest discussion with Cheng Pu because he was afraid that Sun Shiwan would give some contradictory orders just like last time, causing Jiangdong soldiers to act inconsistently. However, Zhou Yu did not expect that even if he did it in advance
Even if you are on guard, you won't be able to withstand Sun Quan's attack.
The key is that Sun Quan doesn't feel that he is poking fun at Lou Zi.
Sun Quan ordered Huang Gai to attack Hefei New City. The main goal of the operation was to destroy Yujin's shipbuilding site, burn Cao's military ships under construction, and if possible, invade Hefei New City...
From Sun Quan's point of view, there was nothing wrong with his order.
If Cao Jun's building ship is built, will it be a threat? Since it is a threat, why not nip it in the bud? What's more, the frontal battlefield cannot be used now, if it can move a thousand pounds...
Is this kind of strategic thinking correct? Is this kind of military thinking very powerful? What are the problems with such military orders?
Fight! It’s necessary!
Just give it to Ollie!
When the military order was passed back and reached Huang Gai's hands, Brother Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he checked the fire paint and dark seal on the military order again, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the military order and that it was indeed sent from Chaisang.
Already...
Since there is no problem, it is natural to follow the military order.
Brother Huang waved the command flag and directed the Jiangdong navy to move forward.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
The low and slow sound of war drums was like a huge roar, shaking into the soul.
Cao's army was not completely defenseless. Especially at the entrance to the lake, iron chains and ballistae were set up. Once the enemy was stopped in front of the obstacles, they would become targets of attack. If they tried to clear these obstacles, they would of course be attacked.
Focus on taking care of yourself. If you want to maintain balance on a rocking ship and clear those obstacles, your own protection will inevitably be poor, which is the best opportunity to attack.
Huang Gai's two ships at the front were the first to be attacked. As soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow catapult, Cao Jun began to shoot, and they were even attacked by catapults!
Of course, Cao Jun called it a "Thunderbolt Chariot".
At the sound of the horn, Cao Jun's soldiers raised their wooden hammers high and hit the hooks of the Thunderbolt Cart hard. The heavy weight box suddenly sank down, and the long wooden tip drew an arc and was thrown up.
He cleared the sky and threw a stone as big as his head.
The stone bullets flew in the air, making a harsh whistle, and flew towards the two Jiangdong ships approaching slowly.
Of course, is this accurate...
The stone bullet fell into the water and stirred up a water column two to three feet high. The water splashed in all directions and the sound was shocking.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
"Cover and clear the obstacles!"
Huang Gai issued a series of instructions.
The Jiangdong archers on the building boats began to counterattack Cao Jun behind the parapet wall, and the boats, under the control of the oarsmen, slowly approached the place where Cao Jun had set up obstacles.
Jiangdong soldiers are experts in water warfare. They push forward resolutely, neither too fast nor too slow. If they are too slow, they will easily become a living target. If they are too fast, they will suddenly hit the water surface.
On those obstacles, maybe the bottom of the boat will be penetrated and leaked...
The Jiangdong soldier in charge of the detection stared at the long wooden pole tied to the front of the ship. When the wooden pole began to shake violently, he shouted: "Obstacle! Touch the obstacle!"
The military commander in charge stared at the somewhat turbid water and vaguely saw the wooden piles and iron chains hidden under it, and then loudly ordered: "Turn around! Prepare to break the obstacle!"
"Hook, hook!" Jiang Dongbing shouted loudly and threw a huge anchor hook into the water. With a "boom", the iron anchor hook quickly sank, tearing the thick iron chain of his arm.
It made a loud noise.
"Steady! Steady!" Jiang Dongbing shouted while using a wooden pole to push the iron chain, causing the iron chain to change its position and begin to sway underwater. After a while, the iron chain moved and seemed to be hanging.
Something was on...
There are generally two types of iron ropes to block rivers. One type has no underwater fixed points and is just hung on both sides of the river. This type has a thinner chain due to its center of gravity, while the other type is like the obstacles currently set up by Cao Jun.
By driving wooden piles underwater to provide support, thicker iron cables can be used to block the river, and they are also less likely to be cut...
Therefore, directly cutting such a thick iron chain is ineffective, and another method must be used.
When Jiang Dongbing's anchor was hung with an iron chain, he immediately twisted the turntable to tighten the iron chain, and at the same time inserted a latch, causing the winch to become stuck.
A dozen Jiangdong soldiers struggled to throw ballast stones and sandbags from the bottom of the bilge. As the rocks and sandbags fell into the water, the waterline slowly moved down, causing the iron chains to collapse.
It even caused the building to tilt slightly...
Wooden piles buried under water usually have barbs like wolf-toothed arrows. If you drag them by human power or by a winch, you cannot drag such a wooden pile. However, the water
The buoyancy of the ship is naturally more majestic and powerful than the strength of a human being. Amidst the arrows and stone bomb attacks that are getting closer and closer, as more and more stones and sandbags are thrown from the building ship, the taut iron chain finally
There was a trembling sound that made people tremble, and when they suddenly let go, the whole warship suddenly shook. Immediately afterwards, a stream of turbid river water surged out from the bottom of the river, and a huge wooden pile emerged from the water.
A stone bullet whizzed over and hit the top floor of the building with a click. It immediately knocked two Jiangdong soldiers into pieces. Then, with bloody residue all over them, it crashed through the other female wall and flew into the water.
Being stabbed by a gun is death, being chopped by a knife is also death, and being shot by a stray arrow is also death. Although the body looks like it is torn apart after being hit by a stone bullet, some scenes are indeed more horrifying, but they are not all the same.
Death? Since it's all one death, why should we care whether he was stabbed to death by a knife or a gun, or killed by a stray arrow or a bullet?
The sooner we finish the work at hand, the sooner we are free from the threat of death, right?
Amidst the roar of the military commander Qu Chang, Jiang Dongbing started a new round of actions. They did not need to pull out all the wooden stakes, they only needed to deal with a passage, and that was it.
Huang Gai, who was in the rear, asked the sterns to pretend to wait for the shore to fight, and successfully pulled back part of Cao's army, so that the building boats in the river were forced to withstand arrows and stone bullets, and three consecutive ones were pulled out on the river.
