Chapter 3209 Escape
In such a cold and cold weather in the late spring, rushing to the royal court of Qiang and Hu is not a good job.
Bingzhou, a bitter, cold and remote border state that people originally belonged to the prosperous and prosperous Central Plains, never thought of, has now become the focus of attention.
Cui Jun never thought that he would one day fall to this point. Even if he went to Xihe to be the prefect, at least he would have a fleet of chariots and horses and more than a hundred guards, but now...
Cui Jun turned around and looked.
Jinyang City has gradually moved away.
Cui Jun also stayed away from his wife and concubines, and had several young children.
Beside him was his eldest son and Cao's soldiers wearing heavy armor.
A little further back, he kept wiping his sweat, pale face, and Cui Hou's son, who was also pale face.
It is already the limit to not be able to take too many people, and there is no baggage truck, nor is there any fine and softness of large and small bags.
In other words, from the time Cui Jun was appointed as the prefect of Xihe to the present, 99% of his property has been left here, leaving only some gold and silver that he would carry with him, as well as some flying tickets that he would not know if he could cash out then.
See you poorly!
Why did Cui suffer so much?
Didn’t he do the most normal thing for the children of the gentry?
What's wrong with him?
As the saying goes, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Do you still have to force the knife to the head?
He is not those brainless warriors!
He worked diligently and hardworking throughout his life, and worked hard in remote prefectures and counties. Isn’t he just for his children to have a good future and for the Cui family to flourish? What’s wrong with this?
Why did Cui endure such pain? Why did he endure the pain of parting?
Cui Jun couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and then closed his eyes. It was like this that he could be out of sight and not upset, just like he left his little family and fled Luoyang.
As Cui Jun, who has been in the north for a while, he really knows some "hidden" gathering points about Qiang and Hu.
These gathering points are actually just for Cao Jun who is not familiar with this place, and are relatively hidden, just like Erzhao Village, but for Cui Jun and Cui Hou, it is not difficult to find these points...
That's right, there is no so-called "Royal Court" at all, only the gathering point of Qiang and Hu.
As for Xiahou Jun's surveillance, Cui Jun doesn't care.
Because they were just soldiers, whether they were fighting or preparing to escape, Cui Jun had the means to support them or kill them.
He just felt distressed.
Back then, he was in Xihe and Taiyuan, and the ups and downs, who would not bow to him when he saw him?
But now even when Run is in Shandong, perhaps someone will call him the envoy Cui, but no matter who it is, he knows that this envoy is no longer the envoy...
Years of operation have been ruined.
But it's just because of one wrong step.
Cui Jun looked up at the sky, so that his tears would not fall.
...
...
In the Pingyang.
Fei Qian stood in front of the sand table.
This feeling is a bit like a strategy game, but it is definitely different from a game.
Most of the soldiers in the game have no morale and physical strength system, and they will not be tired at all when running around. More importantly, they only need to be charged once, and there is no need for additional expenses in the future.
But in the era of cold weapons, especially in the current battle, Fei Qian must be very cautious.
It is not a good idea to fight between the two sides, hedge and fight one life for one life.
Because Lao Cao just wanted Fei Qian to do this.
Fight a big fight, then go back to your own house and find your own mother.
Shandong has a large population and low price for troops. Lao Cao can recruit another group of soldiers to consume with Fei Qian at any time.
In fact, this strategy is not difficult to understand.
The elite cavalry under Fei Qian's command can be roughly considered as meat tanks that eat grass and beans. If they are used to attack the opponent, they will gradually fall into a situation like the defense battle of Gray. Once the speed drops and the damage rate is too high, the meat tank will become a burden.
So Fei Qian is just using cavalry to harass and compress the space for the other party's activities. It is best to tightly compress Lao Cao into the camp, causing difficulties for their woodcutters to pick and draw water.
Moreover, the cavalry's range of activities is larger and more flexible than that of the Cao army, and they limit the opponent's battlefield authority as much as possible.
Whether it is using cavalry to attack Cao's army camp or attack the strict array of Cao's infantry, it is not cost-effective, so it can only be rescued by attacking the enemy, luring the opponent out of the stable Yingpan city block, and raiding the enemy during the march, or showing the enemy as weak, luring the opponent into division, and then seeking a gap to attack.
Unfortunately, Lao Cao is also very stable, even when the situation is relatively unfavorable.
The Yuncheng Basin, with the Anyi Capital as its core, is a pit reserved for Lao Cao by Fei Qian.
Cao Cao also knew that this was a pit, so he would rather go all the way to the inner camp, but the army did not leave Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Your Masaru, where do you think Cao's army wants to attack?" Fei Qian asked Xun Chen.
Xun Chen stood aside, "There are only three things that Cao's army wants."
"Please speak." Fei Qian nodded and said.
Xun Chen pointed on the sand table, "One, if our army crosses the river and enters Hedong, Cao's army will retreat step by step with a hard camp, and finally fight on the line of Zhongtiao Mountain. In fact, the army will turn back to Tongguan, forcing our army to not be able to take care of it. Second, if our army stationed in Guanzhong and does not fight with it, Cao's army will rely on the camp, swallow up the surrounding areas of Anyi, hold people hostage, transfer wealth, and replenish military funds to gain battle. Third, if we fight with Cao's army in Anyi, Cao's army will send spies to deceive the place and disrupt the back, which is similar to what Cao Yuan fought for."
Fei Qian nodded.
Cao's army built many floating bridges on the river, which seemed to be convenient for the large-scale advance to Hedong, but the same is true for the other hand. If the troops were withdrawn, it would be convenient.
For Feiqin, although Longmen Ferry is freezing now, it is also very convenient to reach the Hedong area directly, but the problem is that if Longmen Ferry is thawed, it will not be that simple for Feiqin's army to return to Guanzhong.
No one can tell how long the cold weather in late spring can last? In the moment when the man without weather forecasts, there is no way to tell.
"Your Masaruo said so much..." Fei Qian's eyes were on the sand table, "Now let's see if this Sima Zhongda can disturb Cao's army..."
Hedong was a quagmire before.
Although Fei Qian added a lot of water to it, it has not yet become alive.
Now, all the holes that should be dug are dug, and we will wait for larger water to wash away the ditches.
Whether it is ice water or blood.
"Cao's army dared not attack Pingyang." Fei Qian said slowly, "If Cao's army came to besiege Pingyang, let alone anything else, the Tongguan camp would definitely be out of protection. Cao Mengde also knew about this."
If Feiqian's army crossed Longmen Crossing and once the river freezes, it will be difficult to return to Guanzhong, then once Cao Cao's army leaves Zhongtiao Mountain and enters the Hedong Basin, it will be difficult to return to the Tongguan camp immediately. Therefore, if Cao Cao's entire army attacks Pingyang, he will also face huge risks.
This is the fundamental reason why Fei Qian and Cao Cao can send letters to each other and fight each other.
If you have a genital, come up!
If you have the seed, you will come down!
Xun Chen agreed with Fei Qian's words, "What the lord said is very true. Cao's army cannot fight, advance, and retreat cannot retreat, and will be defeated after a long time. Therefore, Cao's army is naturally more anxious than us...uh, unless...'
Xun Chen seemed to have thought of something, and when he said halfway, he suddenly got stuck.
Then, Xun Chen stepped forward and stared at a place on the sand table, "Lord! If Cao's army... drove away the people, and used the force as a force, they would join forces with the gentry in Yuncheng..."
Fei Qian nodded and touched the beard on his chin, "I'm thinking about this too..."
...
...
Above Anyi.
Pei Jun saw Zhang Xiu passing by with Hussar cavalrymen, and the bloody smell of words and deeds suddenly made him feel breathless.
Zhang Xiu did not enter the city, but just asked some military supplies to supplement it, and then asked Anyi to treat some elderly and weak refugees.
Only then did Pei Jun realize that Zhang Xiu and others had successively attacked several Cao army camps under construction in Yi County, defeating Cao army, regaining many Cao army and civilians, and were transporting them to the Pingyang Basin.
This news made Pei Jun breathe a sigh of relief.
The strength of the soldiers and horses and the courage of the soldiers under the command of the cavalry is indeed well-deserved.
If you don’t move, you’ll have to do it, and it’s really scary to move.
No wonder the vast desert, the Xiongnu Xianbei, the Western Qiang and the Western Regions were all destroyed under their horse hooves like destruction.
But after feeling the emotion, another question came to Pei Jun's heart and could not let go of it for a long time.
The cavalry had such powerful troops, so why did Cao Cao oppress all the way to Anyi, Hedong?
Could it be...
On the one hand, he did feel the strength of the cavalry, but on the other hand, he also continued to be forced by Cao's army. This contradictory feeling made Pei Jun feel uneasy and it was really uncomfortable to be up and down.
Before they knew it, the cavalrymen had disappeared from their sight, leaving only the Cao army and civilians who were walking slowly along the way, still winding northward.
Pei Jun got off the city wall, returned to the city, and met Pei Mao.
Pei Mao has been blew the cold wind or some other reason for the past two days. He was infected with the cold wind and cold and was drowsy on the bed to recuperate. Pei Mao was old after all, and his body was getting worse every year.
"Ahem... General Zhang is gone?" Pei Mao asked when he saw Pei Jun come back.
Pei Jun nodded, "Let's go."
The two were silent for a moment.
Pei Mao sighed, "You still can't let it go?"
Pei Jun gritted his teeth and said nothing.
His farms outside this city were built bit by bit!
Pei Jun was so poor that he couldn't afford to wear shorts... Well, he didn't wear them now. After all, the big man didn't have the habit of wearing shorts. At the beginning, Pei Jun was just a side branch of Pei's family and went to Pingyang as a communication messenger. As a result, Pei Jun got lucky and turned around...
Just now, I finally felt that I had some accumulated wealth, but Cao Jun came!
Although Pei Mao suggested that Pei Jun abandon those manors, how could he just leave them with painstaking efforts over the years?
"Since the cavalry can conquer the Cao army camps in Yi County and other areas, why don't they come to help Anyi?" Pei Jun said bitterly, "Why don't they come? Why don't they come?!"
Pei Mao glanced at Pei Jun, "Didn't you say this before?"
In Pei Jun's original idea, although the floating wealth he had worked hard to collect would be damaged, it would not be wasted all! As long as he reached the source of the cavalry and horses, he could protect most of the assets. If it was smoother, maybe he could get more profits before the cavalry and horses defeated Cao's army...
But Pei Jun didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was like a visit and then went back again. He had no intention of stationing in the Anyi area to assist in defense and protecting the surrounding areas of Anyi!
Although the Pei family has some private soldiers, even Pei Jun has more than a dozen strong guards, whether they are private soldiers or guards, it is not enough to compare them with the soldiers under Fei Qian and Cao Cao.
But it is difficult to calm down just by giving up like this.
If a man is a real man in the world and has no money and authority, what's the point of living?
Pei Jun didn't stay at Pei Maozhi for long and quickly stepped down.
He stood in the corridor, gritting his teeth for a while, cutting his teeth for a while, and his muscles on his face were twisted, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Pei Mao, who was on the bed, slightly supported himself, looked at Pei Jun's figure through the window lintel, was silent for a moment, lay down again, and then called in a low voice, "Old Futou..."
Outside the window, an old voice rang out softly, "I'm here."
"Start at him."
"only."
The old voice answered.
...
...
Cui Jun found a hidden place between Qiang and Hu, and successfully rushed in with his people, killed the rebellious Qiang and Hu people, plundered the reserves of Qiang and Hu people, as well as some livestock, cattle and sheep.
Cui Jun was originally a "glorious guest" and was invited to this place. Sitting on the felt blanket in the tent, watching the Baishi Qiang people sing and dancing at the bonfire. Now, Cui Jun brought disaster and death to the place where he had visited.
Cui Jun ignored these blood and flames.
He was still thinking about how to obtain a foundation like the land of Jinyang if he arrived in Shandong, and when he obtained another foundation, he would never allow his fortune to fall into the hands of others again!
After the abacus was successful, Cui Jun also felt that he was sure to be successful.
Of course, you have to take certain risks, and you may not be able to fall into the Taihang Mountain Trail.
But staying in Jinyang is undoubtedly more risky!
Especially when he knew that Xiahou Dun was short of manpower and was powerless to do anything to the harassing cavalrymen, Cui Jun could no longer stand under the "dangerous wall" with Xiahou Dun.
Speaking of which, Cui Jun is not very loyal to Fei Qian at all. If he had nothing to do, he would be a cavalryman in his smile, and he would be like Pingyang Hou to keep silent. However, he was still a little arrogant in his bones, and he felt that his destiny could only be decided by his own family.
Although Xiahou Dun stole the city, he did not care about Cui's life or death at all, so at this time, escaping from afar may be the best choice.
Cui Jun called the "protective" guards sent by Xiahou Jun, pointed to the cattle, sheep and livestock and said, "These are all living things. If you don't rush to Jinyang, you may be caught again by the Qiang and Hu. Do you have any suggestions?"
Cao Junshi was already fascinated by the death of his eyes, and he was so happy that he was almost floating up. How could he still be worried about continuing to "protect" Cui Jun?
What's more, Cui Jun said is very reasonable. The value of living cattle, sheep, and horses is much greater than that of dead ones. After all, there is no refrigerator available at the moment. If the slaughter is not used, it will cause the original good meat to rot quickly. If these four-legged guys are not sent to Jinyang in time, they will be easily caught by the Qiang people who come back later, and then they will be in vain.
Since we are going to send it to Jinyang, who will send it to you and who will stay to cut off the rear?
Cao Junshi glared at him, and even the fool knew what to choose, so he immediately said that he led some people to go first, driving cattle and sheep and other people back to Jinyang, while Cui Jun and others were responsible for cutting off the rear.
Of course, for the sake of "safety", Shi Chang also left two subordinates to continue to "protect" Cui Jun...
Cui Jun smiled but said nothing.
After Cao Junshi took the cattle and sheep away, Cui Jun immediately found an opportunity and easily killed the remaining Cao army soldiers, including the two surveillancers of him.
These Cao army soldiers did not expect that the "friendly troops" who had just fought together to collect the spoils. In a blink of an eye, they attacked themselves. Most of them did not have time to react, and a few were quickly killed in the subsequent siege.
Blood stained the land red.
As long as there is no evidence, Cui will naturally be innocent and clean.
Of course, it was impossible for Cui to commit suicide by posing these Cao army soldiers, but it was easier to pretend to be chased by Qiang and Hu people...
『Brother, why...those cattle and sheep...』
Cui Hou walked to Cui Jun and asked.
Why did he still send cattle and sheep to Xiahou before leaving?
Why not just leave?
Cui Hou can't figure it out.
While instructing his subordinates to arrange the scene as if they were attacked by Qiang people, Cui Jun said: "The Qiang people have already escaped just now... Do you think they brought their men and horses back, will they chase cattle and horses along the mark, or come to find us?"
Cui Hou suddenly realized, but after a moment, he said: "We don't have these cattle and sheep... we don't have much supplies, food and grass..."
Cui Jun smiled slightly, as if everything was under control. "I remember Xiahou secretly transporting a lot of things before... Haha, he thought he could hide it from me? In the Wukou Pass, there must be food, grass and supplies, enough to support you and me to go to Shandong..."
Cui Hou was relieved. He looked back and showed a bit of sadness on his face, "We leave like this... I don't know when I will be able to reunite with my wife and little girl again... I don't know if Xiahou will..."
