While Zhang He and Ganfeng were clearing out the tentacles of Ding Ling's people in the west of the desert, those who reached out to the south from Ding Ling had already arrived near Yuyang.
Zhao Yun had been forbearing before because of the strategic layout of the Northern Territory, but now he is attacking for the sake of the overall strategy.
When Xianbei was still relatively strong, the entire desert could be roughly divided into three parts: east and west. The east was the Liaodong area, the middle was the area where Bu Dugen and Kebi originally competed with each other, and the west was the area starting from Yinshan Mountain.
Tuoba Xianbei in the north is the main area, all the way to the vicinity of the Western Regions.
After Fei Qianqian defeated Tuoba Xianbei in Yinshan, the remnants of Tuoba Xianbei were merged into the central Xianbei. The entire western desert region basically fell into a scattered state without a specific leader. Then after Zhao Yun's second attack on the Xianbei Royal Court, the central Xianbei
Xianbei also collapsed, Kebi was able to escape, and Bu Dugen died, so the Dingling people rose up and divided the central and eastern parts of the desert with the Wuhuan people.
Therefore, in terms of overall strategy, scattered small countries and small tribes are more conducive to the governance needs of the Northern Territory Protectorate. Zhao Yun can wait for the chaos in the east to gradually become clear, but he found that the Ding Ling people wanted to reach out from the central desert to the west. Naturally,
It's just something that cannot be tolerated.
Send troops to attack and sweep away the Dingling people spreading from the central part. On the one hand, you can keep the scattered small tribes in the west. On the other hand, you can also gain a wave of reputation and show that the Han Dynasty is preparing to maintain peace in the Northern Territory Protectorate.
, the image of upholding justice.
Zhao Yun naturally knows these things clearly.
You can do whatever you want to the east and make chaos, but if you want to extend your hands to the west of Changshan Mountain, you absolutely can't!
Sometimes it's so strange. If the Ding Ling people hadn't come out to stir things up, Zhao Yun might have focused his attention on Yuyang. But now that the Ding Ling people have invaded the central and western part of the desert, Zhao Yun and others have temporarily lost their focus.
Transferred from Yuyang...
But the Ding Ling people are different. A lot of their westward tentacles have been cut off. Although it hurts, their attention is not on the west, but on the south, on Yuyang.
This world is very big. When it is big, even the positions of the two engines are obviously overlapped and they are all on the same floor, but they still can't see each other and can't get the express delivery. But sometimes it is very small, even in a land as big as Mobei.
, will also be crowded together here in Yuyang.
The nomadic Hu people probably couldn't figure out why they would gather around the Han cities like attracted wild wolves. Every war between the Hu and Han people usually revolved around cities and villages.
These barbarians also don’t understand that only in designated villages with sufficient food reserves can dedicated people break away from production to light up technology trees. In the process of nomadic life, even if there is some inspiration, there will often be
Consumed on horseback…
Before the Five Hus invaded China and before large-scale Han craftsmen entered the desert, the scientific and technological level of the Hu people had been suppressed. This has not changed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This is a depressing fact, even if some Hu people
They are unwilling to admit it, and keep saying that they are the sons of the plowshares, that is, the sons of God, but in fact they will regretfully find that they are just illegitimate sons who cannot be seen in the light, the orthodox emperor, that is, the emperor of the Han family.
As a result, the Ding Ling people who went south naturally arrived near Yuyang, an important town in Youbei, to carry out looting and so-called breaking of the curse.
And it's close here, it's easy to find, and the things here are good.
There are thousands of reasons why the Ding Ling people came with their slave soldiers.
The war is about to break out.
At this moment, there were not only Gongsundu but also Xianbei people in Yuyang.
Most of Gongsundu's infantry were infantry, with only a small number of cavalry. In addition, they captured Yuyang, so they were basically inside the city, and outside the city was naturally the Xianbei people's camp...
Although there was an early warning, the Ding Ling people arrived too quickly. It was almost the early warning scouts who arrived in Yuyang, and the Ding Ling people arrived at the back.
For a moment, Yuyang Saojun fell into a very strange atmosphere.
The Ding Ling people want to attack the Xianbei people. On the one hand, they can break the so-called curse. On the other hand, they can also confirm their own status and replace the Xianbei people as the new generation of grassland overlords. However, the Ding Ling people are also worried that Gongsun Du on the flank will come out of the city to attack, so
There was some hesitation for a while.
There is only Xieguini in the Xianbei people's camp. Kirby has gone to hunt down the Wuhuan people and has not yet turned around. As a result, the Xianbei people are not very confident in facing the Dingling people. They are hesitant and the strategic direction is not very clear.
.
As for Yuyang, Gongsun Du naturally hopes that the Xianbei and Ding Ling people will fight to the death, preferably both half-dead, and then Gongsun Du can Shi Shiran appear, recruit these remnants of the army, and strengthen himself...
Everyone has their own plans and ideas, but everyone knows that this short-term balance will inevitably be broken, and the bloody battle is not far away...
But no one expected that the first person to be attacked was not the Xianbei people or the Dingling people, but Gongsun Du!
Just like the cause of a great war, perhaps it was because a recruit on one side accidentally misfired, or a war horse lost its horseshoe, but the cause of the current Yuyang War was because of a few ships.
Gongsun Du's ship, and those who attacked Gongsun Du were Cao Jun who had previously vowed to sign a friendship and peace agreement with Gongsun Du!
There are no righteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, let alone today. These girls, etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, have been spoiled in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Now they just hang some pitiful fig leaves and pretend to be arrogant. In fact, they are slightly
As soon as you touch it, water will flow...
In later generations, it became even more straightforward, "Brothers are coming to chop me down!"
This is an imperative sentence and a declarative sentence.
The reason why Cao Jun turned against him immediately after the peace talks was very simple. The ships used by Gongsun Du to transport food and fodder for the soldiers, yes, the ships Sun Quan gave to Gongsun, were discovered by Cao Jun.
After all, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Although ships can sail on the sea, especially in the Bohai Bay, which is more like an inland lake, they still need to repair and replenish fresh water, especially in late spring and early summer, when the wind on the sea becomes fierce.
As they gradually became stronger, these ships could not go too far from the shore, and they had to carefully avoid the rocks on the shore. As a result, there were not many areas where ships could dock for repairs.
If we don't seize the opportunity to destroy these Gongsun Du's ships this time, will we still wait for these ships to run back and continue to transport troops and food to Gongsun Du?
Interestingly, Gongsun Du's warships did not appear in the Bohai Bay, but arrived at the Jiaodong Peninsula.
The reason is very simple. The navigation skills at this moment are not fully illuminated.
The ships at this stage are almost inland ships used as sea ships. If there are slightly larger winds and waves, these ships will either be blown over or they cannot control themselves...
This time is no exception, because the monsoon in early summer started to blow, and the monsoon at the beginning was very unstable, so these ships were affected. They were supposed to dock near Yuyang, but they ended up being small all the way.
The wind blows to Jiaodong!
The key is that these Liaodong soldiers still don’t know where they are...
Chart?
Feel sorry.
In the Han Dynasty, except for the standard-scale map at Feiqian, the maps in other places were most likely in the map pattern like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "The Kingdom of Adults is in the north... in the north... in it
North...and north of it...", the specific number and distance to the north will be ignored.
"We're in the wrong place now! We shouldn't have reached Yuyang, but we have to go in this direction!"
"Go ahead! We have already exceeded the time limit. If we go forward, we will go further and further away. We should be heading in that direction now!"
"You are all wrong! We had no wind before, but this time there is wind. We must have gone astray, and now we are going in the wrong direction! We should go back!"
"..."
There are eighteen ships, and there are four ship bosses. Everyone has their own ideas, pointing with maps, and arguing endlessly.
Although the captain who followed the ship was used to the bumps and vibrations of the ship at sea, many years of living on land made him still feel very uncomfortable even when the ship was stopped. "Stop making noise! Have the people sent out come back?"
"Reporting to Army Sima, not yet..." a soldier responded.
"￥%..." Gongsun Du's army commander muttered something, which was not a good thing to say, "Send twenty more people out! This time go to the southwest! If you detect anything, report back immediately!"
The soldiers took the order and went down.
"The rest of the people are waiting, stay where they are!" Army Sima was still muttering very irritably, and then turned back to the cabin to sleep. He felt that his head was about to explode, and he really had no intention of chatting with these people. It was like
I took a train for a long time, and when I got off the bus, I still felt like I could still hear the banging in my head. After sitting on a boat for a long time, I always felt like I was dangling. Even now when I am parked on the shore, I still feel that I am deep and shallow.
One foot, very uncomfortable.
From a certain point of view, the decision made by Army Sima at the moment is relatively correct. After all, continuing to walk around without knowing the specific location is an act of pure luck. It is better to figure out where you are.
place, and then make new decisions and arrangements...
But perhaps because of exhaustion, or perhaps for some other reason, Army Sima forgot one thing, that is, most of his men were from Liaodong, and these Liaodong people suddenly appeared in the Jiaodong Peninsula, which was like a coal pit.
Is there an extra dung beetle, or is there an extra rich man among the people? Anyway, basically, that's it. This huge difference cannot be eliminated no matter how hard it is concealed.
Naturally, Gongsun Du's ship was discovered.
The unknown is a fear.
Of course, some people are curious, but most people are afraid.
Especially because they were unfamiliar with the place, and as night fell, the soldiers of Gongsun Du on the ship felt even more inexplicable fear.
Especially the Gongsun Army sentry outside. The other friends could sleep on the boat, but I had to go outside to feed the sea mosquitoes...
The sea mosquitoes are fierce and greedy. One bite will cause a huge swelling, followed by itching and pain.
Gongsun Jun's sentry outside could not stop at all. He moved for a while, scratched this side, and then moved again and patted that side. All his attention was focused on dealing with these vampires, and he did not pay attention at all.
The black shadow is gradually approaching...
Not long after, Gongsun Jun's sentry was knocked down, and then more people walked out of the darkness.
"Your Majesty, I am familiar with this area. The tide is now low. These boats are stuck on the tidal flats and they cannot leave!" A slightly older voice said, "The water will not rise again until dawn..."
』
Your Majesty is Chen Ying.
Magistrate of Liangkou County.
A small county town that is not very wealthy, and can even be said to have no reputation.
Chen Ying belongs to the Chen family in Xiapi. He should be Chen Deng's younger brother. Normally, his official position should not be so low. But the problem is that the Chen family in Xiapi is no longer what it used to be. The reason is very simple. Chen Deng is dead.
, died in Xuzhou, quietly, but in extremely painful death.
Chen Deng died of illness and died of schistosomiasis. Later generations also speculated about this, but the problem is that in the Han Dynasty, no one understood this thing, so that some idle people would say that Chen Deng died of schistosomiasis.
The demons and ghosts are the evil ghosts seeking the soul. They are the retribution Chen received now for the bad things he did in the past...
Chen Gui, the white-haired man, sent the black-haired man away. He was so sad that he couldn't help himself. For a moment, Chen Gui felt as if he had been struck head-on by fate, and was knocked dizzy.
Is Chen Deng considered a good person? Of course not entirely, but at that time, the only purpose of the Chen family was to protect themselves in the war. As for whether it was Tao Qian or Liu Bei, Lu Bu or Cao Cao, they all
It doesn't matter. Their loyalty is only to their own family and their own industry.
So what the Xiapi Chen family did was really wrong?
Obviously it doesn't count either.
But after Chen Deng died and Chen Gui fell ill, everyone in Xuzhou saw that the Chen family was showing signs of decline. They immediately made various excuses, swallowed saliva, grinned their teeth, and even dug in directly.
They grabbed the fields adjacent to the Chen family and took away the land forcefully...
Chen Ying was a member of the Chen family, and Chen Deng was a younger brother. He wanted to help, but was unable to do so. After all, his name was not justified, so after meeting Chen Gui, he followed Chong'er's example and stayed out of the matter, which actually gave him more room to move.
It's just that because the Chen family's power has weakened, they can only plan a position as county magistrate for Chen Ying. As for the rest, it depends on Chen Ying himself...
Therefore, Chen Ying discovered anomalies in the county. When he learned that people with Liaodong accents were coming and going, he almost smelled some scents keenly. Then he further followed these Liaodong soldiers, and accidentally touched the Gongsun Army.
Parked nearby.
The seawater in the distance reflected some fragments of light, and some huge black shadows appeared faintly.
"So many..." someone in the queue whispered, obviously hesitant.
"Don't be afraid!" Chen Ying turned around and said, "We won't get on the boat to fight with them!"
"We are caught by surprise and will definitely win!" Chen Ying encouraged morale, "The main thing is to burn the boat! Remember, burn the boat! Sneak over first, burn the boat! Let's go!"
Amidst the soundless roar of the sea waves, some dark shadows secretly approached these Gongsun ships under the starry sky...
The torch was lit, the oil tank was smashed on the ship, and then as the torch fell, a raging fire broke out!
"Enemy attack... enemy attack..."
General Gongsun Jun on the ship then reacted and started shouting, but many people were still confused and bumping into each other in the dark cabin, but could not find the exit.
This is a disaster!
The Gongsun Army of Liaodong, who basically had no experience in surface warfare, could not become a qualified naval force after getting on a ship and not getting seasick. Just like being able to ride a horse, it does not mean that it is a cavalry. These half-empty Gongsun Army
There is no problem in normal times, but in the current emergency situation, the disadvantages are immediately exposed.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
Cao Jun, who was standing on the land, unceremoniously threw arrows at the Gongsun soldiers who were trying to rush out of the cabin without even wearing their armor, shooting these Gongsun soldiers until they were crying and rolling around.
There were not many people in Cao's army. They were just defenders in a county. However, Cao's army had a very clear goal, which was to burn the ships. They did not bother with Gongsun's army, and did not even make any move to harvest the heads of Gongsun's soldiers. They just took advantage of the situation.
Before Gongsun's army could react, they rushed to the side of the ship, then threw oil cans and burned the ship.
At this time, the shortcomings of the informal navy have emerged again. If it is the Jiangdong navy, fire protection of ships has become a habit. Daily maintenance and habitual defense will improve the fire resistance of ships. But now
The ship is in the hands of Gongsun Bing, and these soldiers in Liaodong land are used to being carefree. In addition, they have never experienced a battle formation on the water with rockets flying randomly, so they have no idea what is fire-proof or not.
, the fire prevention work that was supposed to be done was not done at all. Even the water in the fire prevention water tank was used up by them as ordinary water...
Especially when the army commander subconsciously issued a retreat order, originally thinking of retreating into the sea to avoid the attack, but unexpectedly getting stuck on the tidal flat, the overall defeat of Gongsun's army was inevitable.
A big victory.
With less than 800 troops, Chen Ying destroyed eighteen warships of Gongsun's army, burned twelve of them, and captured six. At the same time, Chen Ying killed and wounded Gongsun's soldiers without any calculation, and captured nearly a thousand people...
Three days later, when Kuai Ma delivered the news to Yecheng that the Jiaodong Peninsula had encountered Cao's army and had won a victory, Cao Cao didn't know whether to be happy or to scold his mother.
Chen Ying was not wrong and should be rewarded. After all, the opportunity was not to be missed. But the problem was that Cao Cao had been eager to put Zhao Yun in his pocket, but he never received the news. Now Zhao Yun has not appeared in Yuyang, and the other side has already
It was a move.
Although Gongsun Du may not notice the bleeding wound right away, under such circumstances, Cao Cao had to order to start tightening Yuyang's pockets, otherwise all the fish in the net he had finally laid would jump.
If you close the net only after you leave, wouldn't you be making a big loss?
The fuse has been lit. Whether it will explode into fireworks or flesh and blood depends on who is in the center of the net...
