Chapter 17 Where Can Boats and Cars Go to Tianjin?
"The Xiliang dog is too bullying!"
With a crisp sound, a clay pot filled with hot soup in the house was kicked to pieces, and hot water vapor immediately began to evaporate from the ground.
This is Xiaopingjin on the bank of the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang. It is noon on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the person who kicked the pottery pot into pieces was none other than Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, the riding governor of the north of Luoyang, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a heiguan crown.
Obviously, this famous Bingzhou general who had been promoted to Zhonglang General not long ago was not in a good mood at this time.
"Why should the prince be angry with these people? They are just envious of the general's being reused by the prime minister, especially when it is rare to be granted a title. This is the first share in the army after the prime minister governs the country! So they feel sour for themselves." Following Lu Bu's reply.
Among the people who came to the house, the one with the highest rank was Qu Junhou, who was called Huang Yuan and named Qianjiu. He was a brave warrior from Xihe County, Bingzhou. When Lu Bu first became a school captain, he brought him with him
Dozens of Bingzhou rangers came to seek refuge. Now they were naturally regarded as Lu Bu's closest confidants, second only to his brother-in-law Wei Xu, so they naturally had no hesitation and hurriedly came to persuade them.
After becoming a lieutenant general, he managed to become a general, and he was granted the title of lord, and he managed to become a prince. Although Lu Bu was in a bad mood, hearing this title and persuasion at this time somewhat relieved him.
Already.
"It's not that I don't know what these people are like." Lu Bu turned and sat on the couch with an earth dragon in the house, and then shook his head repeatedly. "It's not that I don't know that they are jealous... But Qianjiu, these
People really fail more than they succeed!"
"What do you mean by this?" Huang Yuan was puzzled for a moment. "Isn't it because Hu Zhen thought that Xiaopingjin was difficult to plunder because Jia Xu, a famous landowner from Xiliang, was here, so he used Yuan Shao's army to
In the east, and then forcibly divided the troops and led people to the prosperous Wushejin? Give them some wealth and property, and the Prime Minister has never been stingy in rewarding them."
"I'm not talking about wealth." Lu Bu sighed, picked up a bow from the couch, then gently stroked the bow string and said, "but about military exploits..."
Huang Yuan was still puzzled.
"You are all fighting men with little experience, so naturally you don't know." Lu Bu was a little emotional when he saw this. "But I am different. I got to know General Wei, and listened to his advice and took the opportunity to worship Master Cai.
Then as soon as I became an official, I worked in the state... Therefore, I realized early on that there are beauties like clouds and countless treasures in this world. If I only focus on these things and snatch them, I will be like those in the countryside.
Like a monkey, you gain a small amount and lose a big amount!"
"What should we do?"
"I also realized this truth when I was conquering the Yellow Turbans." Lu Bu gradually sighed solemnly. "If you can occupy a high position, all the beauties and wealth in the world can gather on you; and if you occupy a higher position,
If you are in a high position, there will be more beauties, and wealth will naturally come to you; but if there are mediocre people above you, you will not get what should be yours... Therefore, when a man is born in the world, he must not be depressed.
Being inferior to others! This is why I have only obeyed the Prime Minister and General Wei in my life. No matter what, these two people are generous with rewards for those who have meritorious service!"
From Huang Yuan on down, there are many people in the house who have realized it.
"This time, I was furious because Hu Zhen wanted to divide his troops to go to Wushejin. It was not because I was worried that he would rob Wushejin's goods, but because I was worried that once my troops were divided, I would only have 5,000 cavalry, and it would be cold.
The ground is frozen, and it is impossible to cross the river and make contributions!" At this point, Lu Bu's atmosphere became difficult to calm down again. "If it had been anywhere else, I would have killed this man to show his military power! But Hu Zhen is from Xiliang, and he is from Xiliang.
The Prime Minister is from the country... The Prime Minister is fair in dealing with things... But with the current situation in Luoyang, we Bingzhou people cannot deal with the Liangzhou people without authorization under any circumstances. If we really kill him, even if the Prime Minister is generous, the other Xiliang generals will also treat him as
I am jealous! So I can only let this guy lead the troops east to Wushejin!"
"No wonder the Lord said that he succeeded more than he failed!" Huang Yuan also sighed.
"I wanted to win a battle a year ago and let the Prime Minister see my military strategy, but I don't want to meet such a person?!" Lu Bu was half angry, half frustrated, but he waved the person away. "Go and ask people.
Buy some wine and food, and then ask Wei Sima and others to come over, and we, the Bingzhou people, will have a drink together."
Huang Yuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately led him out to buy wine.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the vibration of the bowstring behind him, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
In other words, Huang Yuan has been following Lu Bu for a long time. How could he not know that it was this 'junhou' who was sitting on the couch, drawing and releasing his bow to distract himself? How could he not know that this 'junhou' was in an extremely depressed mood?
Performance?
The tigers of this world, if they cannot roar, they will have to grind their claws.
Not to mention whether Lu Bu wanted to draw the bow or play the piano, since Huang Yuan came out here, he asked a few people behind him to buy food and drinks, and went to invite Wei Xu and others himself... However, Huang Qian never expected that one of them had just
Not long after he separated from his companions, he moved to another house in Xiaopingjin, and then met a person who even Lu Bu was afraid of.
Yes, this person is none other than Captain Xiaopingjin, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
One more thing must be said here, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, Wushejin, and Sanjin are lined up from west to east, but they are not simple ferries, and Jia Wenhe was not abandoned by Dong Xiangguo and then thrown out to see the ferries.
A downtrodden person.
In fact, as the three major passages from Luoyang to Hebei, the three crossings in Luobei have always been home to military forts, boats, civilians, residents, officials, and merchants. They can be regarded as checkpoints, cities, and merchants.
A combination of districts.
Even in a region like Henan, it has always been one of the richest and most important places.
So back to Jia Wenhe, you must know that Jia Xu was from Xiliang and had a "military strategy", so he was actually trusted and reused by Dong Zhuo.
In this confrontation with the Kwantung Allied Forces, Dong Xiangguo and his close advisers had guessed the opponent's strategy early on, which was to surround Luoyang's seven ferries on three sides, and use the barriers to oppress Luoyang and force Luozhong to collapse... Therefore, correspondingly,
Dong Zhongying also sent his outstanding or credible people to various checkpoints in Luoyang to deal with it!
For example, Xu Rong, who was good at fighting, was sent to garrison at Shenyuan Pass very early. Another example is that Hua Xiong, the leader of Dong Zhuo's close guard, was just sent to Hulao Pass to defend. It is also like Jia Xu who was appointed as a small officer after Xu Rong.
Captain Pingjin.
In the Han system, Xiaopingjin was one of the eight passes in Luoyang, with a dedicated captain of more than two thousand shi, and this position had always been part of the imperial army. Although Dong Zhuo said that he valued military power above all else, this time he was specifically assigned to Jia Xusan.
Thousands of men and horses; as for the enemy faced by Sanjin in the north of Luoyang, it is the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, Yuan Benchu, who is entrenched in Hanoi... With such an arrangement, it cannot be said that Dong Zhuo did not reuse Jia Wenhe, and it cannot be said that Jia Wenhe was not the Xiliang Army
's backbone.
In addition, Gongsun Xun took the lead in 'discovering' Jia Xu in Taiwei's vassal, and when he went to conquer Guanzhong, he had no idea but to ask about this person... Others don't know this, but if those soldiers in Luoyang and Guanxi
If you don't know, that's what you call a ghost.
So, if you think of this kind of person as a civil servant who watches the dock, you are blind to sight!
In fact, the fundamental reason for Hu Zhen's division of troops this time was that Jia Xu was determined not to allow soldiers and horses here to plunder local people and rob women without authorization. However, Hu Zhen did not dare to really offend Jia Duwei, so he came
He came up with the excuse that "I can't afford to offend me, but I can hide" - the excuse was that Yuan Benchu stationed troops in the east, and then it was freezing cold and the river was frozen. He needed to prevent Yuan Shao from taking the opportunity to cross the river, and then he patted his butt and took his 5,000 infantry to destroy the five
Shejin went.
In this regard, Lu Bu was furious but helpless, but Jia Wenhe seemed not to be very angry... because he knew that with his reputation and power in the Xiliang army, he could only barely keep a small Pingjin.
No more.
"Is that what General Lu said?" Jia Wenhe's expression remained unchanged after listening to the visitor's report. "I understand, go buy the food and drinks!"
The man immediately kowtowed and left, and the room suddenly became deserted again, as if the owner was the only one left.
Seeing the other party leaving, Jia Xu looked neither happy nor angry. He just sat on the couch and thought for a moment, then got up and went to the stove in the room, taking a bowl of hot ginger soup from the hanging pot above...
... He didn't go to the warm couch or sit down. He just stood there with his head lowered, regardless of appearance, and kept sipping soup with his head down, just like the way he was when he was serving the Taiwei's soldiers in the Taiwei Mansion.
By the way, the entire Xiaopingjin can drink ginger soup in winter from top to bottom. This is the credit of Jia Xu. After he came here and took office, he and the warriors elsewhere killed and took indiscriminately, treating the people in the area as cattle.
Sheep are different. They have only used their power to do two extraordinary things.
One time, he took away the goods left behind by the merchants in the local business inn when they fled, and then used these things to exchange them with the surrounding areas for a large amount of cloth, medicine, and... ginger; the other time, it was to build a military camp and renovate it.
In the name of defense, he launched corvee force on a large scale and forced local soldiers and people to cut down trees and collect firewood in the surrounding areas... For this reason, the local people were actually quite resentful of him.
However, as winter came to the second half, a military confrontation suddenly formed. Soldiers and horses were everywhere, no one dared to go out, and traffic was completely cut off. Many people around Luoyang, especially around military important places, were frozen.
Only here in Xiaopingjin, not only is there a supply of firewood, but if you are willing to work for the army, cloth is also distributed as wages. There are even officials who cook ginger soup in large pots every day and distribute it to the ferry for free.
Everywhere, from officials to officials, from the army to the people, everyone is treated equally.
At this time, the local people praised him again, but Jia Xu still had that dead face.
Jia Wenhe swallowed slowly and drank three bowls of ginger soup in succession. Jia Wenhe, who was dressed in ordinary cloth and covered with a leather robe, wiped his mouth with his sleeves without any image, but suddenly left the warm house and went to
I walked outside the house in the biting cold wind.
A moment later, he arrived outside the bustling Lu Bu residence... The attendants in front of the residence hurriedly reported back, and Lu Fengxian was so surprised that he hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.
The two exchanged some pleasantries and then went into the house together. However, as soon as they entered Lu Bu's house, Jia Xu suddenly stopped and said, "The powerful general Zhonglang is really in high spirits!"
The food and wine in the house were in a mess, and Lu Bu, who was standing inside the door, was also embarrassed for a moment.
However, probably because of what happened in the morning and because he drank a lot of wine at this time, his temper was somewhat exposed: "Jia Duwei is so lenient, why don't you restrain Hu Xiaowei from dividing the troops without permission? Instead, he came to criticize
Shall I drink? It’s freezing cold, and I only have five thousand cavalrymen who can’t cross the river. If I don’t drink here, what else can I do?”
"Of course, we must make contributions to achieve great things!" Jia Xu stretched his body and folded his hands, his expression unchanged and his body posture unchanged.
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but throw up his head and laugh. The smell of alcohol hit the roof. After he finished laughing, he responded with a cold face: "Could Captain Jia be joking? Didn't I already tell you that I only have five thousand?"
The cavalry, and the river is frozen now, if it is stronger, I am afraid that two thousand horses will be broken by the other side...and make achievements?! If Captain Jia is bored, he can go make ginger soup, why bother to entertain me?!"
"You can wrap the horse's hooves with linen and let go when you get to the other side." Jia Xu was not in a hurry or angry. "This way the cavalry can easily cross the river."
Lu Fengxian was suddenly stunned.
"Hu Zhen is a man who is brave and has no intelligence, and even his bravery is not as good as that of a powerful general." Jia Xu stood on the threshold and continued to speak calmly. "And in this battle, infantry is not needed.
, so he led the troops away this morning because I specially used a trick to drive him away...I deliberately used him as a suspicious soldier."
For a moment, Lu Bu was a little confused, but also a little expectant. But after a moment, after he thought for a moment, he still couldn't help but frowned: "It's better not to tease me, Captain Jia. There are two soldiers and horses in Hanoi opposite.
Wang Kuang led 12,000 people opposite us, and Yuan Benchu led 30,000 people ten miles east of Wushe Jingeng... And now that Hu Zhen is gone, even if you and I work together, we can only do 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry.
, how can we fight? We can definitely beat Wang Kuang, not to mention Yuan Benchu can send reinforcements to attack at any time!"
"Does General Huwei know how General Wei pacified Wuhuan in western Liaoning?" Jia Xu remained serious, as if he was not joking.
"Although I don't know the details, I have heard about it in general. I heard that they took advantage of the rain and before the river water rose to cross the river and follow the opponent's withdrawal route, and then..."
"How can there be so many words?" Jia Xu interrupted the other party directly. "In the final analysis, it is just the eight characters of surprise and attack! Since ancient times, how many times we have defeated more with less are all because of these eight characters!"
Lu Bu also became serious, and his heavy breathing was filled with the smell of alcohol: "Jia Duwei is a wise man in the world praised by General Wei. Please give me some advice!"
"I have a plan, do you have the courage?" Jia Xu rolled up his sleeves and finally glanced at the other party. This was the first time he looked at Lu Bu after entering the house, but he glanced sideways.
Lu Bu was so angry that he laughed back: "I regard all the thieves in Hanoi as common men who want to sell their heads! Why does Mr. Jia look down on me?!"
"That's easy." Jia Xu finally turned around and spoke to Lu Bu. "This strategy is simple. This morning, Hu Zhen has led five thousand soldiers to march downstream to Wushejin. Tomorrow
In the morning, I took my 3,000 infantry, as well as the local civilian men and strong men, pretending to be a large army and headed upstream to Mengjin... As for the general, he only needs to silence his troops in the camp and lurk until dark tomorrow.
, you can wrap the horseshoes with linen cloth and cross the river to break the stronghold in front of Xiaopingjin; after breaking the stronghold, light a fire, ignore what is behind you, and go directly downstream to defeat the first wave of oncoming enemies; and
If you still have some strength left, you can fight all the way to Yuan Shao's camp and set another fire; after the second fire is lit, don't hesitate to fight, just turn back and come upstream to defeat the enemy in front of you... In this way, general
Then you can come back victorious and be awe-inspiring in Sanjin!"
Behind him, Lieutenant General Zuo Zao, who was blocked outside the door, was shivering from the cold, but Lu Bu was still confused and confused.
——————I am the dividing line for not having enough brain——————
"When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he appointed Taiwei as the captain of Pingjin. As soon as Zhuo took power, he raped without restraint and some of his servants disobeyed him. According to the censor's report, Zhuo immediately killed him with a hammer and replied: 'I am the prime minister of the country, and I have no honor.
Even though my dogs are not allowed to be disturbed by others!" The various tribes in Liangzhou have no standards, disagree with each other, and often take the heads of people; they see sex on the road, and often take women's wives. The army is increasingly arrogant.
, Self-denial is virtuous, and the land is safe for the people. When the weather is cold, many people are freezing, so Xu Nai uses all his rewards and family resources to buy ginger for soup, and there are countless people alive... As of today, Henan especially calls Jiang Jia." - "Dian"
