Chapter 2805 Everyone talks about Jiangdong soldiers, everyone goes his own way Wuling barbarians
The moist wind on the river blew the Sun family flag representing Jiangdong.
The flag is still the style of the Han Dynasty, with the same size and color.
The difference is that people under the flag may not still have the word "big man" in their hearts.
Huang Gai raised his head and watched the flag swing in the wind, and his heart seemed to resonate with the swing of the flag.
If Zhou Yu hadn't spoken, Huang Gaizai would never have thought that the situation in Jiangdong today would be extremely dangerous. Because in Huang Gai's eyes, Jiangdong is still Jiangdong, and there haven't been many changes.
"There are three reasons why great things happen in the world. The right time, right place, and right people..." Huang Gai gently repeated in his heart what Zhou Yu said at that time, and his thoughts fluctuated for a while.
The right time, right place and right people were not invented by Zhou Yu, let alone Brother Zhu, but by Mr. Mencius and Meng. Of course, Sun Tzu also elaborated on this concept. In future generations, even a primary school student may be able to recite these few words, but
For Huang Gai, this was indeed the first time he heard such a detailed analysis from Zhou Yu, and the content of the analysis also shocked Huang Gai.
What Zhou Yu told Sun Quan was destiny, and what he told Huang Gai and others was that the time, place, and people were favorable.
Of course, it would not be wrong to say that the two aspects are somewhat similar. After all, the final result may be to compete for the world. It's just that one focuses on theory and the other is more concrete. The right time, right place, and right people can be regarded as abstract concepts.
It can also be seen as specific guidance. Battles, campaigns, strategies, whoever can occupy the right time, place, people and people will win.
Zhou Yu said that if there are ten parts of the weather, then eight parts are in Jiangbei and only 20% are in Jiangdong. The geographical advantages are better, but only 40%, because the upstream is not in the hands of Jiangdong, and Jingzhou in the middle reaches is constantly competing for it. As for people,
And...
When Zhou Yu talked about harmony, he fell silent. This silence made Sun Quan on the side restless, and it also made Huang Gai frightened. Because it is true that without Zhou Yu saying anything, Jiang Dong himself could beat him out of his wits. Even Huang Gai
Gai himself actually took the opportunity to expand some of his own troops in the previous stage.
Huang Gai recruited troops to expand his headquarters, of course not to oppose Sun Quan, he just instinctively safeguarded his own interests.
But when everyone is considering their own interests, there is often no common interest. Most of the time, if you want to have common interests, everyone must give up some personal interests. Note that everyone
As long as one person has evil intentions, the so-called team or group will eventually collapse, just like the Tower of Babel in the Bible or the prisoners in the interrogation room.
Under such circumstances, Jiangdong doesn't have enough time...
In other words, Zhou Yu has no time, so the only thing left is to grab time.
Zhou Yu's time-grabbing strategy is very complicated to operate, but to put it simply, it is to find an opponent for Jiangdong, and of course there can only be one. On the one hand, he uses the pressure of his opponent to unify himself and transfer internal conflicts to the outside.
On the one hand, it is to provoke Fei Qian and Cao Cao to fight. If Fei Qian and Cao Cao don't fight each other, then Jiangdong will be finished sooner or later, and there will be no chance.
Huang Gai was not a military strategist, nor could he be as capable as Zhou Yu in both civil and military affairs. However, one good thing was that Huang Gai never acted cunningly in what he should do, especially since he also did not want Jiangdong's foundation to collapse.
So Huang Gai came, just like in history when he pretended to surrender, knowing that there was danger, but still did not refuse.
"Captain! General Zhu's warships ahead!" the sentry above Diao Dou shouted loudly.
Huang Gai took a look and signaled to pull over and stop the boat.
After a while, the ship stopped, and Zhu Huan also took a small boat from his warship and transferred to Huang Gai's ship to pay tribute to Huang Gai.
Zhu Huan was not lacking in etiquette. After paying homage to Huang Gai in a serious manner, he said: "The general's headquarters are all here, and they will obey the orders of the governor."
Huang Gai did not give Zhu Huan a warning without meeting him. Instead, he looked around at the mountains, rivers and rivers. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "Which is the nearest barbarian village from here? How many people are there? Someone needs to sacrifice blood to the flag!"
』
Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied, "More than twenty miles away from here, there is a small village with about a hundred households."
"But Wuling Man?" Huang Gai asked.
Zhu Huan nodded and seemed to have something to say.
"If you are kind, I will use this stronghold to sacrifice the flag." Huang Gai did not wait for Zhu Huan to finish what he said. He directly patted the side of the boat and shouted loudly, "Send the order and set off!"
The war drums roared, and immediately the entire fleet set off one by one.
Zhu Huan's fleet merged into the main fleet and continued to move forward. Zhu Huan stayed on board Huang Gailou.
War flag hunting.
As red as blood.
"Captain..." Zhu Huan stood beside Huang Gai, as if he had been rumbling the question in his stomach for a long time before spitting it out, "I think the Wuling barbarians are just a disease of mustard moss, so why bother to come in person, the governor?"
...』
Huang Gai snorted, "General Zhu can speak frankly!"
"..." Zhu Huan was silent for a while, "The general thought that the southern barbarians were too mountainous and ignorant of the culture, so they could be driven away with advantage. He could pacify them by appeasement of a few and alienate them. If the attack was too strong, they would become more hostile and make them more vulnerable.
combine……"
Before Zhu Huan could finish speaking, Huang Gai glanced at Zhu Huan coldly, "Do you want to give orders to someone?"
Zhu Huan lowered his head and said, "The last general will not dare."
The scene was immediately very embarrassing.
Huang Gai said in a deep voice: "If you have other ideas, you can write to the lord. However, in the army, you should know the military law and there is no room for disagreement."
Zhu Huanlin said, "The general will know."
Huang Gai nodded and spoke firmly to Zhu Huan, "Shan, General Zhu will be the vanguard in this battle!"
Zhu Huan accepted the order and immediately got off the Huanggailou ship, got on the stern and returned to his own ship.
Zhu Huan failed to understand, but it was obvious that Huang Gai refused to communicate. Zhu Huan himself had a very average relationship with Huang Gai.
Zhu Huan was a new general, while Huang Gai was an old-school general at Sun Jian's time. How could such two people casually urinate into a pot?
Not everyone in the world has the responsibility to explain to others the goals and plans of what they do, not to mention that Huang Gai and Zhu Huan belong to different factions. It is impossible for Huang Gai to explain to Zhu Huan in detail, but
Such behavior made Zhu Huan very puzzled.
"General... Governor Huang, what do you say?" Zhu Huan's confidant, Zhu Chang, glanced sideways at the direction of Huang Gai's ship, and then asked in a low voice.
Zhu Chang was younger than Zhu Huan and was considered Zhu Huan's younger brother.
Zhu Huan watched the surrounding mountain peaks slowly move back, "Get ready for battle."
"Ah?" Zhu Chang was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Huan said in a deep voice: "Captain Huang wants us to attack Qinglang Village and use it to sacrifice the flag..."
If ordinary people looked at Zhu Huan's current position, they would naturally be envious.
Zhu Huan was a general, although he was only a partial general, but don't use bean bags as solid food. A partial general was also a general, and he had soldiers and men under him. A single order could mean the difference between life and death. Plus, he was young and had a promising future.
It seems that he doesn't look too good at all, but Zhu Huan in it may not be as beautiful as outsiders think. It's not the pretentiousness of being in a high position, but the embarrassment caused by his status.
Zhu Huan was a general who was deliberately promoted by Sun Quan after he came to power. In terms of military exploits, he could not compare with the veteran generals. In terms of strategy, it was also not his turn to make the decision. Sun Quan was now suppressed, and Zhu Huan was also dumped here in Wuling and Nanman.
The mountains are singing folk songs.
Because he knows the local situation better, Zhu Huan knows what the content of these Nanman Shanyue's extremely arrogant folk songs is. Although Nanman Shanyue is said to be either a brother or a younger sister every day, in fact these Nanman Shanyue don't just know how to be arrogant every day.
These guys are also more busy making a living.
Life is not easy for the people of the Han Dynasty, and it is even more difficult for the Nanman Mountains in these mountains. The pastoral life of slash-and-burn cultivation is not as beautiful as a poetic picture, so generally speaking, unless they are really forced to the point of no way to survive, these Nanman Mountains will not bother to rebel.
Therefore, on the whole, the Nanman Shanyue is actually like the Xiqiang during the Han Ling Emperor's period. They are all problems that only arise when they can't survive. If they are calmed down a little, the storm can basically be calmed down. Those who are really ambitious can
After all, there are only a few people who want to cause trouble. Most Nanman Shanyue still need to eat, and those who can stutter will be satisfied.
But if the policy of coercion is stained with blood, new hatred will naturally arise, then it will not be so easy to calm down...
Zhu Huan originally thought that the big guys in Jiangdong should not understand this truth, but what he didn't expect was that whether he wrote the letter himself or asked Qin Bo to convey it, it seemed to be of no use. Jiangdong still sent Huang Gai to suppress it.
, and Huang Gai had no intention of listening to his advice and suggestions, and even seemed to be suppressing him, which made Zhu Huan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But if I feel uncomfortable, what can I do?
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
What's more, he was in the army. If Zhu Huan said no more, Huang Gai would directly push him to the deck and chop off his head!
"Qinglang Village?" Zhu Chang asked doubtfully, "That village didn't do anything?"
Zhu Huan was silent for a while, "They are Wuling barbarians."
"..." Zhu Chang also fell silent.
"Send the order, prepare for battle." Zhu Huan sighed, and then motioned to his confidant Zhu Chang, "Help me prepare armor... This time, we are the vanguard..."
After more than twenty miles of waterway, the soldiers were not very tired and they arrived quickly.
Zhu Huan commanded the warships to dock and then began to line up at the foot of the mountain.
Qinglang Village is not by the river, but about three or four miles further in.
Huang Gai stood on top of the building and watched coldly as Zhu Huan and his men gathered.
Huang Gai didn't like Zhu Huan, nor did he hate him. He had no personal grudges against Zhu Huan, but expressed disgust for the group that Zhu Huan represented. Jiangdong is so big and can only support so many soldiers.
I know that it only hurts when you clench your fists together and hit them, and the arrow shafts are not easily broken when they are tied together. However, Jiangdong's military force is still divided into the old school, the new school, the local Jianghuai school, the Sun family...
To fulfill the governor's instructions and for the future of Jiangdong, the military power must be unified. Even if Zhou Yu did not emphasize this point, Huang Gai knew it clearly. If Sun Quan had not deliberately pulled Zhou Yu back and showed suspicion of suppressing the old-school generals, Jiangdong
It can be said that we have occupied Jingzhou and have a ticket to enter the finals!
Why are we in such a mess right now?
Zhou Yu would not say that he wanted to invade the new generals, and Huang Gai would not say it either, but he would do it.
Sun Quan also refused to say it, or was still reluctant to say it.
Therefore, Huang Gai is preparing to polish Zhu Huan...
Or sharpen it even more sharply.
or it could be……
Huang Gai pressed forward, and Zhu Huan set off with his men.
The road in the village is not easy to walk, and only two or three people can walk side by side. Zhu Huan can only send fifty people as the vanguard first, and he will lead the rear team to climb up step by step.
Wu Lingman in Qinglang Village also discovered Zhu Huan and others, and the low horn warning sound sounded in the mountains.
Along the way, Zhu Huan and others were not attacked. Perhaps the people in Qinglang Village did not react, or perhaps they thought there was still a chance for negotiation. The Wuling Man in the village screamed,
The figure started to shake, and then a Chinese voice with some weird emphasis came out: "What do you want to do? Our Qinglang Village has not done anything illegal!"
Zhu Huan was silent for a while, and then said to Zhu Chang: "Go up and shout for him to come out of the stronghold and surrender!"
For Zhu Huan, he felt that his order was already helping Wulingman. As long as he was willing to surrender, he could at least save his life. But for Wulingman, who would be stupid enough to give his life to others?
To decide?
Well, not to mention, things that Wuling barbarians understand may not be understood by passers-by who run red lights and electric cars in later generations...
Qinglang Village refused to surrender, so the attack began quickly.
Zhu Huan's soldiers shouted in response, raised their shields and swords, and crawled towards the gate of the stronghold. At the same time, under the cover of the forwards, the crossbowmen of Zhu Huan's rear team also approached the stronghold wall as much as possible and fired arrows and crossbows.
suppress.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The arrows flew quickly towards the village wall, and the barbarians behind the wall were so suppressed that they could not lift their heads.
Some of the Wuling Man hid under the wall of the village, and some raised their shields to defend themselves. However, many of the Wuling Man who were running around in the village were shot and were wailing and rolling on the ground. Some people still wanted to
He went to pull the people who were shot, but soon even the rescuers were shot to the ground.
Blood flowed out, and death came to this small village.
A Wuling barbarian warrior holding a colorful wooden shield stood behind the village gate. While holding up the shield, he shouted something. The other Wuling barbarian warriors also responded one after another. It seemed that they still maintained a certain morale, but
Not many people noticed that the hand holding the sword of this middle-aged Wuling barbarian warrior was actually trembling slightly...
Most of Wulingman's shields are wooden shields, large and thick, with patterns outlined with natural stone pigments. And most people don't have them. They must be warriors in the tribe to have such shields.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The low sound of war drums echoed in the mountains, forests and river valleys, rippled on the treetops, and caused birds to fly.
"Break open the village gate!" Zhu Huan ordered loudly when he saw that the Wu Lingman on the wall of the mountain village was suppressed.
Several Jiangdong soldiers who rushed in front of the village gate put their shields behind their backs, and at the same time took out the battle axes they carried and smashed the sides of the village gate, while another group of soldiers carried it and chopped off a bowl halfway.
The foul-mouthed trees didn't even have their branches completely removed. They shouted and ran straight into the village gate!
The village gate groaned and trembled.
The Wuling barbarians on top of the stockade wall ignored the suppression of Jiangdong soldiers' arrows and began to shoot at Jiangdong soldiers below the stockade wall.
Wulingman's bows and arrows are generally crude bamboo bows, and they use very simple bamboo arrows. In terms of armor-breaking ability, of course it is not worth mentioning, but the problem is that Wulingman often does not rely on hunting in the mountains and forests.
The original armor-piercing lethality of bows and arrows is the toxicity of various plants or animals.
These poisonous arrows, which were originally used to deal with animals, are now used to deal with Jiangdong soldiers. Although the arrows are not strong in breaking armor, if they are shot on shields and armors, they may not cause any huge damage to these Jiangdong soldiers.
Lethality, but Jiangdong soldiers are not covered in armor after all. Their faces, arms, legs and feet are all unarmored. After being shot by these poisonous arrows, although the wounds caused by the arrows themselves are not fatal, the toxins they carry are in these poisonous arrows.
When Jiang Dongbing's energy and blood boiled, it spread quickly. Many Jiang Dongbing who were shot seemed to have only a small wound. After a while, they were frothing at the mouth and fell twitching all over.
Poison arrows are quite destructive, but they are useless if they cannot hit the unarmored parts, and the quantity is also limited. No one would just make hundreds or thousands of poison arrows at home for fun, so after exchanging a batch
After the casualties, the Wuling Man Qinglang Village's counterattack strength declined.
The door of the cottage was cracked and then completely pushed open, and Jiangdong soldiers swarmed in.
The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat within the village.
Wuling barbarian warriors formed a shield formation and blocked the gate of the village.
The first wave of Jiangdong soldiers who rushed in were quickly chopped down and fell to the ground dead or injured. But soon, the second wave of Jiangdong soldiers rushed in, and then the third wave...
After Zhu Huan and his personal guards rushed in and dispersed the only array of Wuling barbarian warriors, the resistance of Qinglang Village quickly collapsed.
Zhu Huan's personal guards have thicker armor and sharper swords, while the warriors of Qinglang Village only have wooden shields, few leather armors, limited swords and spears, and the rest are hatchets and pitchforks...
…
Zhu Huan held the knife and watched with indifference as the middle-aged warrior was chopped to the ground by him.
The Wuling Barbarian who fell to the ground howled and pointed at Zhu Huan with a bloody finger, as if he said something, but was immediately slashed on the neck by Zhu Chang, who was standing beside him, and his head rolled away.
Zhu Chang raised the head of the Wuling barbarian warrior high and said, "General, the enemy chieftain has been beheaded!"
The Jiangdong soldiers cheered loudly, while the Wulingman in the Qinglang Village howled. When the warrior holding the patterned shield was knocked down by Zhu Huan, the remaining Wulingman in the village also gave up.
arms.
"What was he shouting just now?" Zhu Huan asked the guard next to him, "Which of you understands?"
The guards all shook their heads.
Zhu Huan didn't pay attention. He looked around, shook the blood on the bloody sword, put it into its sheath, and said coldly, "Catch all these barbarians... Then take them down the mountain and burn the stronghold..."
Obey the command of the governor and sacrifice the flag with blood!』
