In the Tongguan camp, the stewards left behind were said to be Liu Fu and Guanqiu Jian, but in fact the core was Cao Zhang.
Cao Cao didn't trust anyone, and only his own son could make Cao Cao feel at ease.
Cao Zhang was not very young, but he had a strong talent for martial arts since he was a child. He had extraordinary arm strength and liked to wield swords and guns. He hated poetry and scriptures, so Cao Cao took him with him and often went into and out of the army. , Therefore, Cao Zhang is not completely ignorant about military affairs.
What's more, with Liu Fu and Guanqiu assisting, plus the Central Guards staying in Tongguan Camp, not only can it defend Tongguan Camp without any problem, but it can also put some pressure on Tongguan, and it can also raise funds. Food and grass are transported to the Zhongtiao Mountain camp.
Among them, the one who endured hardships and endured hardships and took on more responsibilities was of course not Cao Zhang, but Liu Fu.
Guanqiu Jian helped Liu Fu, and they complemented each other perfectly.
Liu Fu is a famous person. Although he does not have any impressive skills, he is indeed a man of action.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Fu was stabbed to death by Cao Cao while he was drunk. This is basically the symbolism of Mr. Luo. In actual history, Liu Fu died of illness because he worked too hard. He was very similar to Liu Biao, and To a certain extent, he is even more awesome than Liu Biao. Liu Fu governed Yangzhou in history and went to Hefei single-handedly to fight against Sun Shiwan. He not only won over the local powerful, but also appeased the people to build water conservancy projects, which caused the people in Jianghuai who had originally fled to return. The water conservancy projects built were still in use during the Western Jin Dynasty.
Guanqiu Jian is a Wenxi man, but his status is very special. His father died at the hands of Fei Qian back then, so this guy and Fei Qian can be said to have a sworn hatred for killing their father.
Liu Fu is experienced and steady.
Guanqiu Jian is young and energetic, and can run errands and work hard.
Cao Zhang was not good at writing, but he won a lot of support and love in the army. Many soldiers directly under Cao's army regarded Cao Zhang as the second Cao Ang.
This combination is just right, nothing more and nothing less.
Cao Zhang naturally didn't care about the transportation of grain and fodder, and the later guarantees. The most he could do was use a seal for Cao Cao in the last step. The main thing was still done by Liu Fu. After finally arranging the matter, all the work was done, and he just waited. As they were transported to the Zhongtiao Mountain camp tomorrow, Liu Fu relaxed a little and finally got some sleep...
As a result, I was woken up by the loud noise in the middle of the night!
Immediately, soldiers of Cao's army rushed in, "Report to the generals, the enemy is attacking!"
Liu Fu was very puzzled and asked: "Where did the enemy come from? Is it someone who stole it from Tongguan?"
"No! It's the enemy from the other side of the river!"
"Across the river?!" Liu Fu asked as he got up, "How many people are there?"
"About two to three hundred people," the soldier replied.
Liu Fu just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he remembered that the grain and grass baggage that was ready to be transferred was piled up on the river bank, and he raised his heart again, "Where is the grain and grass baggage? Hurry up and move people back!"
"This..." Cao Jun's soldiers hesitated.
Liu Fu's expression changed, and he immediately ran out of the tent without even bothering to put on his outer robe. When he saw it on the river bank, he couldn't help but be shocked.
There were still some soldiers and laborers of Cao's army around the supplies that were originally piled near the river bank. Because they would be transported away the next day, Liu Fu did not let these people return to the rear camp, but instead let them camp nearby to rest.
, otherwise it would be a waste of time to wait until the next day to regroup and gather together, right?
As a result, the temporary camps were now blazing with flames. The hussars and horses held torches high and charged wildly into these camps, killing people and setting fires at the same time. The shouts of killing and screams resounded on both sides of the bank, deafening.
A battle flag flickered in and out of the firelight, and the three colors on it made Liu Fu's eyes hurt.
"It's really a good horse!"
Liu Fu had just murmured these words when he heard a loud blast of artillery above Tongguan City. The artillery was like thunderbolts, blooming orange in the night sky. Immediately, the defenders of Tongguan City moved toward the area occupied by Cao's army.
Counterattack in the lower city area!
"Not good!" Liu Fu was shocked and immediately found Cao Zhang, "Master, beat the drum immediately and order the soldiers to fight back!"
"Where to counterattack?" Cao Zhang asked.
There is a counterattack by the defenders of Tongguan City in the front, and a hussar attack on the flanks. If we add...
Faced with such a situation, Cao Zhang was a little panicked after all.
"This..." Liu Fu pondered for a moment and then made a judgment, "Tongguan City!"
"The river bank..." Cao Zhang turned his attention to the river bank again.
"Please order me to meet the enemy!" Guanqiu Jian took a step forward and held his hand in his hand.
"Okay!" Liu Fu said immediately, "There are not many bandit troops on the river bank. They must be a small number of troops who sneaked across Zhongtiao Mountain. Zhong Gong can maintain the front and force them back... As for those baggage items... they can be saved."
Of course it’s best to come back. If you can’t be saved... you still have to put safety first!』
"I obey the order!" Guanqiu Jian responded.
After the discussion was decided, the war drums in Cao Jun's camp began to sound loudly.
Cao Zhang personally boarded the central observation tower and together with Liu Fu directed the generals to counterattack.
Liu Fu's judgment is undoubtedly correct.
Hao Zhao's attack was indeed sudden, but the number was small, and the Tongguan defenders were different. If Cao Jun's front line was really destroyed by the Tongguan defenders' counterattack, and they crushed Cao Jun's camp all the way,
Then the whole family must pack up and go home!
Therefore, Liu Fu focused on the Tongguan front line, which was a reasonable arrangement.
But this gave Hao Zhao the best opportunity!
Not to mention how Cao Zhang and Liu Fu resisted the counterattack of the Tongguan defenders, but Guan Qiu Jian led his troops and horses directly to the river bank. Guan Qiu Jian stared at the three-color flag, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Guan Qiu Xing's death was blamed on Fei Qian by Guan Qiu Jian.
Most things in the world are like this. Where the butt is determines the position. As a son of man, Guanqiu Jian's butt is of course to avenge his father. Is there any problem with this?
Now when he saw that the hussars were killed right in front of his eyes with only two hundred men, it was as if his uncle could bear it, his aunt couldn't bear it, and he couldn't bear it either!
Guanqiu Jian decided to take this opportunity to kill the commander of the hussars and horses here to relieve his hatred!
Even if the person killed was not a hussar general, it was enough to boost the morale of Cao's soldiers.
As for Liu Fu's advice just now, Guanqiu Jian had subconsciously forgotten it.
…
…
Yang Xiu, who was imprisoned in the rear camp of Cao's army, was also awakened by the noise.
In the darkness, he stood up from the straw mat, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness.
"The Hussars are coming?"
Yang Xiu asked.
No one answered in the darkness, and after a moment Yang Xiu responded as if he was responding to himself: "No way, not that fast."
"How is it impossible?" he asked again.
"This is behind Cao's army!" he answered himself.
"What's going on in the rear?" he continued to ask.
"It's like this in the rear. The soldiers on the front line only need to devote themselves to the battlefield, obey orders and fight hard to kill the enemy. But the people in the rear have many things to consider..." he answered.
Then Yang Xiu had nothing to say.
Yang Xiu has been detained for some time.
Through the gaps in the dilapidated tent, a faintly swaying light shone in, reflecting in Yang Xiu's eyes.
In fact, to a certain extent, Yang Xiu guessed his own destiny, but he still "ignored the current affairs".
He felt that Cao Cao wanted his "submission" more.
In other words, "loyalty".
Yang Xiu was not "loyal" in the absolute sense to Cao Cao.
The same is true for the big man, him and his family.
Yang Xiu himself knew this, but he didn't think there was any problem with it.
Cao Cao hated Yang Xiu, not just for Yang Xiu's smartness, but also for Yang Xiu's self-righteousness. Like the Yuan family, the Yang family was a family that carried the history of the Han Dynasty, at least from Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was the benefactor of two generations of emperors, but when the Han Dynasty was about to fall, what did the Yuan family and the Yang family do?
Under the emperor, the Yuan family, Yang family and others can be said to be the core of the gentry in the Han Dynasty, but did they ever have the slightest bit of the Han world in their hearts?
If there was, the big man wouldn't be where he is today.
The noisy sounds came and went, mixed with the roaring artillery above Tongguan, causing the originally silent night to be shattered.
??????55.??????
Yang Xiu sat quietly in the tent, his heart filled with disappointment for Cao Cao and worries about the future.
He knew very well that once the war went unfavorably, the situation in Shandong as a whole would fall into chaos.
Yang Xiu closed his eyes and sighed, his fate seemed to be firmly bound by this war.
Inside and outside the tent, it's like two worlds, one noisy and the other quiet.
The quiet world is a cage that imprisons freedom; the noisy world is full of madness, bringing misfortune and death.
In this noisy voice, Yang Xiu reflected on every choice, every persistence, and the bitterness after every failure along the way.
The ambitions of his youth emerged in front of his eyes. At that time, he was full of ambition and regarded everyone in the world as a dog. Cao Mengde and Fei Ziyuan were both inferior. How could they be worth a second glance?
However, the reality is cruel. These guys who could not even reach his horse's hooves have become the masters of his life and death.
If Cao Cao wins, he will probably survive.
If Cao Cao were defeated, he would probably die.
When Yang Xiu was young, he enjoyed everything that a big man had.
Glory and wealth are as brilliant as the shining jewels in the crown.
Now Yang Xiu is suffering from loneliness and pain, like a toilet chip abandoned in a corner.
He suddenly understood that everything was because of the order of the Han Dynasty!
If there is still the order of the Han Dynasty, then he should still be glorious. But now because he has lost the order of the Han Dynasty, he has become a prisoner, a prisoner imprisoned in this broken tent.
The order of the great man!
In the past, what he despised and disdained, considered to be decadent and ignorant, was the order of the Han Dynasty...
If one day he could go back to the past, he would definitely do everything in his power to maintain order in the Han Dynasty, prevent the Hongdu Academy from being established, prevent the Party from causing trouble, prevent the Xiqiang from rebelling, prevent the Yellow Turbans from causing chaos, and prevent the
…
Oh my God!
After completely losing the order of the Han Dynasty, Yang Xiu realized that the things that allowed him to live a nourishing and comfortable life were not his family, nor the plaque hanging on his family's Sizhi Hall, nor the things buried by his family.
All kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and property!
"Xiao Langjun!"
A thin voice sounded.
Yang Xiu was suddenly shocked, "Who?!"
"I, it's me..." The thin voice came through a gap in the tent, "Xiao Langjun, now is a great opportunity! There is a big chaos outside, no one is paying attention to this place, run away!"
"Run away?" Yang Xiu was stunned, and immediately lay down at the gap in the tent and looked out.
There was a dark figure outside the tent, and most of the face was in the shadows, shaking, making it difficult to see clearly.
The voice was somewhat familiar, but it was too noisy outside now, and Yang Xiu was not sure who the black figure was.
"Yes, Xiaolangjun," the black figure turned his head and looked around, while whispering, "There are war horses in the rear camp... now is the best opportunity... while they are all in front... quickly
If you don’t escape, it will be too late!』
When Yang Xiu listened, he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly. He felt that his palms were extremely slippery, and he didn't know when they were covered with sweat.
escape?
The breath of freedom seems to be right outside the tent.
But after a moment, Yang Xiu whispered: "Thank you very much... I won't run away."
"Ah?" The black figure seemed a little surprised, "Xiao Langjun..."
"Thank you..." Yang Xiu repeated, and then said with a smile, "As of now, the only thing Xiu is proud of is that he is the son of the Yang family, the successor of the Four Knowledges, and the fourth Taiwei of the Han Dynasty... he would rather die standing up."
, don’t kneel down and beg for life..."
The black shadow outside the tent was silent for a moment, "Okay. Give this knife to Xiao Langjun. If Xiao Langjun..."
There was a rustle outside the tent, and a short blade was inserted through the gap. Then the light and shadow shook twice, and the black shadow left.
Yang Xiu stepped forward, picked up the short blade, and looked at it under the flickering light, with an extremely complicated look on his face.
It's like crying, but also like laughing.
…
…
By the river.
Under the command of the sound of war drums, the panicked Cao army finally got organized. Under the leadership of Guan Qiujian, they rushed out of the camp and headed straight for the pontoon bridge on the river bank.
Guanqiu Jian was riding on the horse, feeling a little nervous but also a little excited.
His father, Guanqiu Xing, was seriously injured and died after the battle in Hedong. When he was dying, Guanqiu Xing was angry and aggrieved. He yelled in the direction of Hedong and died immediately. This was very important to the young Guanqiu Jian.
For him, it was undoubtedly a very big stimulus and a bloody scar in his heart.
His father worked hard all his life, worked hard, studied scriptures, and strived for excellence. He was a thoroughgoing problem solver in a small town. However, he stumbled on Fei Qian, and he died in depression and became a helpless man.
Regrets to make up for.
The Guanqiu family came out after hearing the news. It is said that the ancestors of the Guanqiu family were also very good, but what's the use?
Just like Queen Jing of Zhongshan, she sounds very arrogant, but actually who cares?
Although the Guanqiu family and the Pei family both came from Wenxi, they did not have as many assets as the Pei family.
Because they were originally from Shandong, and later gradually moved to Wenxi. They did not have a social network as large as the Pei family, nor did they have as much land wealth as Hedong Wei, Pei Pi, Zhang Liu and other surnames. The only way they could rely on
It's the scriptures they brought from Shandong...
Study hard, practice hard, and study hard. In an area like Hedong Wenxi, which is close to the border of the Han Dynasty, you can imagine the educational resources you can get.
However, Guanqiu Xing managed to find his way out of it, and stood out among the many children of the Hedong gentry. He became a filial and honest man, and entered the eyes of the big shots in the Han Dynasty.
Everyone said that Guan Qiu Xing was good luck, but Guan Qiu Jian knew how much hard work and sweat his father Guan Qiu Xing had put in for this "good luck"?
After serving as a Langguan, it does not mean that the Guanqiu family can just sit back and enjoy themselves. They still have to be diligent and hardworking. They not only have to clean up the boss's shit, but also take the blame for the boss, and they have to be by the side when the boss is happy. Applaud and cheer...
In this way, Guan Qiu Xing received a comment, "He is a good official."
Just when his daughter-in-law was about to become a mother-in-law, just one step away from becoming a local official who could truly control a party, Fei Qian was like a stone falling from the sky, falling on Guanqiu Xing's promotion path.
His father died in anger, which made Guanqiu Jian a little suspicious. He always felt that some guys were gathering together and laughing, and they were probably laughing at him...
Even though Guanqiu Jian understood that he was suspicious of his neighbors, he still felt aggrieved in his heart.
Without the care of his father, Guanqiu Jian had been living a very careless life.
Just like this time when he stayed behind in Cao Jun's camp, he did all kinds of complicated things and ran errands for all kinds of tiring work. He even said with a smile that he was young and should move more and run more. It should be...
Who doesn’t want to have a good meal and sleep?
Who would like to be on call twelve hours a day?
But Guanqiu Jian smiled, patted his chest and said, "I like it! I was born to work hard!"
Like shit!
The main premise of suffering and enduring is that it is worth it to achieve the goal through hard work and overcoming difficulties...
The word "worth it" can be as light as a feather, or as heavy as Mount Tai.
All the aggrieved feelings over the years have been weighing on Guanqiu Jian's heart.
Now, he felt that he could take the opportunity to compete with the hussars, give these damn hussars a hard blow, and more importantly, express his own depression that had been accumulated for many years!
While Guanqiu Jian was thinking, he galloped out of the camp gate and ran along the road to the pontoon bridge.
It’s just one or two hundred horsemen and horses, so what’s the big deal?!
Behind him were soldiers holding the general's flag, and the ink-colored word "Guanqiu" once again fluttered in the land of Heluo...
This made Guanqiu Jian's blood boil!
What is a Han celebrity?
Famous people are not only eloquent, but more importantly, they are knowledgeable. When they go out, they become generals, and when they enter, they become ministers!
Let you all see what a great man of Han Dynasty looks like!
Guanqiu Jian raised his arms and shouted: "The big man will win! The big man will win! Kill them all! Drive all the thieves into the river!"
