Not long after Guan Hai captured the mountain camp, he counted the grain and rice in the camp and found that there were as many as 150,000 hu of dendrobium. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said to his generals: "I didn't expect to have such a harvest. If we seize food here, the rebel army will definitely
The morale of the army is in turmoil, and soon there will be a large army competing with me for territory. The troops sent will be elite, and we should not try to force them. Move quickly, take away everything you can, and burn everything that is difficult to take away.
!"
All the generals followed suit and took all the pickled fish and meat with them, and used the plundered packhorses to carry some rice and fill it up, but the remaining grain and grass were still piled up in mountains. Most of the Cang army was from farmers,
When it came time to burn the food, I couldn't bear the thought of burning so much food into nothing. No one came forward for a while.
It was Guan Hai who took the lead in person, piled horse feed and wheat crumbs together, and threw in the lit flints. The 80,000 grains of dendrobium suddenly rose into the sky, and the blazing fire created waves of heat, which soon spread to the entire building.
Camp. By the time Zhang Fei and his troops arrived, the place had been reduced to a pile of ashes, and it had been three hours since the Cang army had withdrawn carrying food.
When Liu Bei received the news that the mountain camp had fallen and Liu Deran had been beheaded, he was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said to the people around him: "Oh, is Deran just dead like this?" After a while, he said to himself again:
"My uncle asked, what should I tell him?" No one dared to answer.
Only Xu Shu reminded him: "The general is the courage of the three armies, and the rebel army is on the side. It is just when we are waiting to fight back, how can we show such an attitude!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei suddenly woke up. He immediately calmed down his sad expression, regained his composure, summoned Fazheng Wen and said: "I didn't care about the words of filial piety and uprightness before, which led to today's defeat. Now the enemy is in Beishan, and our army is withdrawing."
It's not enough. But when it comes to how to fight, I have no idea. Does Xiaozhi have any strategy?"
Fazheng was silent for a moment, looked at Liu Bei's expression, and then replied: "Does Duke Ming want revenge? Or does he want to win?"
"What is revenge? What is victory?"
"If you want to take revenge, you can abandon Snake Hill and go north, cut off your own way, show the public that you will win, and attack Feicheng. Feicheng is a small town, but the bandit army came in a hurry and did not have time to repair it. When you see the general coming with revenge, you must leave the city.
Decisive battle. At that time, it will be the time for the general to take revenge."
Liu Bei was quite moved when he heard this, but he took off the water bottle from his waist, took a sip of water, thought for a while, walked slowly between the tents for a few steps, then shook his head and said: "It's too risky, the Baibo army on the south road doesn't know where it's going.
, if I lead the army in a decisive battle, it will be enjoyable, but it will put the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in danger, and I will ignore the overall situation. So how can I win with filial piety?"
Fa Zheng stood upright and said: "If you want to win, it is nothing more than playing four words steadily. Since Duke Ming wants to focus on the overall situation, he still has to rebuild the mountain camp, stabilize the grain road, and break the city first. No matter how harassed the rebel army is, our army will
They are as immobile as a mountain, and they are determined to attack the city. Once the Snake Hill is broken, the rebel army will naturally return without success."
Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and he sighed: "I understand the meaning of filial piety. I sent Deran to guard the camp before, but it was because of my nepotism and unwise appointment of generals. This led to the burning of the camp and Deran's loss. The so-called best policy
, It’s just a matter of choosing a good general based on precedent to ensure that the fortress is safe!”
He thought about himself for a long time, then ordered Zhang Xian to enter the account and said to him: "The general guarded the White Horse before, and he was attacked by the bandit army for several months without retreating. Everyone in the army admired him and called him the Tiger of Nanyang. Today I want the general to guard the mountain camp.
, I don’t know if I dare to take the responsibility?”
When Zhang Xian heard this, he immediately drew his sword and asked for his orders: "Since I am sharing the worries of the country, how can I refuse? If I want to let the camp be destroyed again, I will have to die!"
The next day, Zhang Xian returned to the camp and ordered his troops and generals. He appointed Huang Zhong, Yin Xuan, Wu Xiu and others as fighting generals. He asked Liu Bei to take over ten vehicles and equipment, and then led 7,000 people back to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. He surveyed the terrain,
Thinking that the previous camp was too close to the main road and had no barriers around it, so it could be easily breached, so they set up forts at the foot and mountainside of Yunmeng Mountain.
The camp was rebuilt, and all the wood used was taken from Yunmeng Mountain. In three days, they chopped down all the lush mountain forests, which disturbed the sleeping bears on the mountain. One of them was particularly tall and could kill with just one palm.
A soldier was knocked unconscious. If the people around him hadn't reacted quickly and scared the bear away with random arrows, the soldier would have died on the spot.
When some people heard about this, they couldn't help but be a little scared, and said everywhere: "They say that tigers are the overlords of the mountains, and bear bears are the gods of the mountains. Captain Dongping lost the battle here, could it be because he disturbed the mountain spirits?"
Why?"
Huang Zhong was very amused after hearing this, so he personally led a few elite soldiers to the mountains to hunt in the morning of the next day. He was originally from Nanyang, and this was the first time he came to Yanzhou in his life. The enemy was on the side, and no one could
He didn't know when the enemy army would attack, but he still had time to hunt, and his colleagues tried to dissuade him. But Huang Zhong said: "If even the mountain spirits are afraid, how can we talk about counterinsurgency? Don't you know, thieves
All the soldiers are from demonic backgrounds!"
He entered the forest at Chen time and had not returned until Shen time in the afternoon. A few people were worried about him and went to the forest to look for him. However, after three quarters of an hour, it became dark and they could not find him, so they had to go back the same way.
After returning, Huang Zhong's soldiers worried and said: "It's dark, how can they survive in the wild forest? Could it be that they were attacked by jackals?"
After another two hours, many soldiers went to rest, but Huang Zhong had not returned yet. So someone reported it to Zhang Xian, who was shocked when he learned the news. During the Battle of White Horse, Huang Zhong fought in the front and fought many times.
How could Zhang Xian, who had defeated the rebel army and relied on him as a brave man, be allowed to disappear for nothing? He immediately ordered about sixty more people to form a team to search in the mountains.
Just as they were about to go up the mountain, a man suddenly came down from the mountain, with a cheerful look on his face. Someone recognized him as the personal entourage who had followed General Huang into the mountain, and asked him where the rest of the people were? The personal attendant said, "You don't know."
, the captain shot two old bears and a tiger in the mountains today. One of the old bears was more than a foot tall. The captain couldn't take it away, so he stayed in place and asked me to ask someone to move it!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. It took Zhang Xian a long time to say, Han Sheng is really a fierce tiger under my tent! So he asked the sixty people to follow him to carry it, while he waited in the mountain camp. At this time, many people
After everyone heard the news, they woke up their sleeping comrades one after another and asked them to come out to see the tigers and bears. So the people in the mountain camp woke up and gathered on the shade side of the mountain like clouds.
Zhang Xian was very angry when he saw the soldiers crowded together in a mess. He scolded them and said, "It's not a war. Why are you joining in the fun? If there is a bandit army coming to fight, how can you fight like this?" After that, he drove them away.
Let's go. That's what I said. But after an hour, the moon in the sky was almost overhead. A group of people walked out of the forest with fire sticks, and were immediately surrounded by soldiers again.
Just as the person said before, they really brought back two old bears and a tiger. Among them, there were one big bear and one small one. The small one was also seven feet tall. The big one was four feet tall and weighed three thousand kilograms.
As for the three frames they made out of forest trees, eight people lifted one frame before carrying it back together. Everyone gathered around to watch, curious and scared at the same time. Some people touched the bear paws and tiger teeth, but quickly retracted their hands.
Go back. After all, such a big beast, even if it is dead, seems to have a murderous aura about it.
The leader, Huang Zhong, stood aside with a smile on his face, letting the soldiers watch the beast's body. He was wearing a black military uniform, but it was somewhat torn, and there were brown blood stains and a strong fishy smell.
, Zhang Xian noticed that he was limping when he came back, so he stepped forward and asked if he was injured.
Huang Zhong first untied his trousers and saw a few scratches on his legs. Then he took out his bow from behind, only to see that the bow string was also broken. Finally, he took out his knife and showed it to Zhang Xian. There were actually many gaps on it.
.
Huang Zhong said with a smile: "When we started walking in, we met a tiger, but seeing that there were so many of us, the tiger roared twice and ran away. Then we walked in again, just to find this and that
Who would have thought that when we met a big bear, there were two, an old one and a small one. This bear was really a ferocious beast. It didn’t run away after seeing more than a dozen of us. When it collided with us, it was so scary! I shot it repeatedly.
Three armor-piercing arrows broke the strings before killing it."
The people nearby all complimented and said: "What's the matter? We shot more than ten arrows at such a big beast, but it was of no use. Only the captain shot the arrow into its mouth. This is a miracle."
Cum!"
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly opened the big bear's mouth to take a look. Sure enough, there was a huge gap behind the hyoid bone, which was blocked by blood. When they fiddled with it, they found that there was also a severed arrow cluster stuck in the skull.
It's inside and can't be pulled out. But that's okay. A complete bear skin is rare and can be peeled off to show off your martial arts. However, the cub next to it is riddled with holes, and I'm afraid it won't be able to peel off a good skin.
Zhang Xian clicked his tongue in surprise, then pointed at the tiger and asked Huang Zhong: "What's going on?"
A soldier replied: "After killing the bear, the tiger saw that we were exhausted and wanted to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack! The captain didn't have a bow, so he rushed forward with a cutter, holding his waist with one hand and attacking with the other.
The tiger's mouth was slashed, and everyone was afraid of hurting the captain, so they didn't dare to shoot arrows, so they could only poke it with a long stick. As a result, the captain fell down the hillside and was scratched by a stone. The tiger's mouth was bleeding, and it was shaking on the ground in pain. We
I just killed it. It was so dangerous!"
Huang Zhong also smiled and said: "Yes, it's so dangerous!" Even so, everyone looked at him as if he were a god. Zhang Xian couldn't help but forget his feelings and said loudly: "Everyone says that I am the Tiger of Nanyang, and Han Sheng
How can I dare to call him a tiger here? I heard that General Guan had the experience of killing tigers, so everyone also called him Guan Hu. I didn’t expect that I also have a tiger under my tent!"
After that, he took off the jade pick from his finger and put it on Huang Zhong's right thumb that still smelled of blood. The jade pick was green and green, deep and clear, and it was a rare thing in the world. Zhang Xian
He said to Huang Zhong: "This is the gift of Huangfu Gui, the former general who conquered the Liao Dynasty. My uncle Zhang Jiu used to be a music director under his account at that time, and he gave it to my family. My family is famous for it, so I will give this to you today."
, I hope you can be like my uncle, perform meritorious service on the battlefield, and then become a successful person!"
