Chapter 814 Chapter 0824 General
Ji Hanshu says:
At that time, Cao Zhenyin had the ambition to swallow Longyou, seize Xiaoguan's heart, and destroy Yong's stability.
Yong followed Huo Yi's case to return to the middle road and harassed the Zhenliang Road; he also personally led more than 10,000 people to form eight formations to resist Zhenli.
The road to true food was not smooth, and it was delayed for a long time. It became more and more difficult to develop his plan, so he urgently sought a war.
Yong showed his weakness and arrogance, and then used armored cavalry to attack and defeat him.
Multiple choice questions in "Three-Year Simulation of Five-Year College Entrance Examination":
At the transition period between the Later Han Dynasty and the Ji Han Dynasty, the three famous battles in which a small number defeated a large number were: A: The Battle of Guandu, B: The Battle of Chibi, C: The Battle of Hanzhong, and D: The Battle of Xiaoguan.
…
Ever since he discovered that Cao Zhen's army was coming towards Xiaoguan, Ma Dai only did three things every day.
The first is to inspect the various camps and forts in Xiaoguan, the second is to look eagerly to the west, hoping for reinforcements, and the third is to look to the east and pray that Feng Yong will be fine.
Can't swallow food every day, can't sleep well every night.
Cao Zhen's first target is not Xiaoguan, so there is no need to worry about the various camps and forts for the time being.
The rescue letter sent to Longyou received a response quickly.
But it was only a response. In the end, the Dudu Mansion only sent 3,000 people.
At the same time, in his reply, he explained to Ma Dai the current situation in Longyou: Someone in the Liangzhou family wanted to cause trouble, and the Dudu Mansion was unable to send too many people to Xiaoguan for the time being.
Only let Ma Dai guard the pass and not leave.
There was not a single word mentioned about Feng Yong's situation in peace.
Ma Dai knew that the governor's office had already decided to let Feng Yong resign himself to his fate.
Although this decision is very cold and ruthless, it is the best way at present.
In exchange for the protection of Longyou, a group of officers and soldiers from the Colonel's House of Protector Qiang were killed.
If the person trapped in stability were Ma Dai himself, Ma Dai would feel that he could only accept his fate.
When you go to the battlefield, sometimes you have no control over your fate.
A few days after Cao Zhen's troops arrived at Xiaoguan, military drums began to sound in the east.
Ma Dai knew that it was Feng Yong who led the army back and was trying to break through Cao Zhen's camp.
Ma Dai stood at the highest point of Xiaoguan, looking far to the east, and listened to the sound of war drums over there every day.
It seemed as if Feng Yong led the elite soldiers protecting the Qiang Colonel's Mansion, attacking Cao Zhen's military formation again and again, only to be forced back again and again.
In front of the formations of the two armies, the corpses of elite Han soldiers were spread out...
He could even feel Feng Yong angrily asking Xiao Guan from the air more than once: Why not send troops to respond?
Thinking of this, even Ma Dai, who has been fighting all his life, couldn't help but burst into tears, like a wounded beast roaring in pain to the sky:
"After this battle, how can I face the orphan of the Feng family? How can I face my sister (that is, Zhao Ma's family)?"
He originally thought that Cao's thieves would only be able to stay for three to five days at most, and they would either **** Feng Yong himself, or take Feng Yong's head and go to Xiaoguan to persuade him to surrender.
Unexpectedly, the war drums in the east were beating continuously day by day. Unexpectedly, Feng Yong was able to hold off Cao Zhen for so long with his inferior troops.
Ma Dai stood at the top of Xiaoguan City, waiting left and right, but could not wait for the news that Feng Yong was defeated, captured or killed.
On the contrary, every day I listen to the sound of war drums in the east, and my heart rises to my throat every day.
Only when the sun goes down can he put his heart back to its original position.
At the same time, I am afraid that the sound of war drums will suddenly disappear tomorrow, and I am lucky enough to think that Feng Yong can hold off for one more day...
Another day…
One more day…
The sound of war drums every day finally became his comfort.
The taste is actually worse than being boiled in a frying pan.
The majestic Xiliang man suddenly lost weight in a short period of time.
Until one day, he got up early as usual, set out from the main city of Xiaoguan, followed the canyon to inspect various Wubao camps, and went all the way to the outermost part of the canyon.
Standing on the top of the Wubao built on the top of the mountain, looking at the Wei army camp below.
At this time, the sun has risen, dispersing the fog under the mountain, revealing the original appearance of the Cao thief's camp.
What makes Ma Dai feel strange is that today's Cao thieves seem to be much quieter than in the past.
According to the past practice of Cao thieves, someone had already come out at this time and went to the lower part of Guancheng to shout and provoke.
Today's Cao thieves, let alone shouting and provoking, even the camp seems to be very quiet.
When Ma Dai saw the situation at the foot of the mountain, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"If it doesn't work out, then what trick does Cao Cao want to play?"
Ma Dai was shocked and confused.
As soon as the sun was halfway through the sky, Ma Dai saw that there was no movement in Cao's camp, and finally couldn't hold himself back any longer. He sent scouts down the mountain to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the scouts soon returned a startling news: Cao's camp was deserted, and everything in the camp was in chaos. It seemed that they had retreated in a hurry last night.
"Retreat? Or retreat in a hurry? How could Cao Zhen retreat in a hurry at this time?"
Ma Dai naturally did not dare to believe it. He sent several groups of troops down the mountain and entered the empty camp of the Cao thieves. After a detailed inspection, he confirmed the news.
It was then that he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no fierce war drums sounding in the east today.
The unconventional silence made Ma Dai suddenly anxious, and at the same time, a little hope arose in his heart: Could it be that Governor Zhao sent troops from Longguan?
Thinking of this, he quickly sent out troops and continued to explore eastward.
If it weren't for the military order from the Governor's Office that prevented him from leading his troops out of Xiaoguan, I'm afraid he would have gone out to investigate in person.
Just when he was looking forward to it, he saw a small group of people suddenly coming from the east, galloping towards Xiaoguan desperately.
Ma Dai's heart immediately tightened: From the looks of it, there must be an emergency.
"Great victory! Great victory! Feng Junhou defeated Cao Cao's thieves!"
This small group of people had already started shouting at the top of their lungs before they reached the pass.
"Feng Junhou defeated a hundred thousand Cao thieves and won a great victory!"
The voice of the messenger has become extremely hoarse, but he still can't stop shouting: "Great victory! The Cao thief is defeated!"
There are several people in this small group who are scouts sent by Xiao Guan to the east to find out the news.
The soldiers guarding the front of Xiaoguan suddenly became commotion. They couldn't help but craned their necks to look down. If they couldn't see, they tried their best to listen.
The news that Feng Junhou defeated 100,000 Cao thieves suddenly blinded everyone. No one dared to believe that the news was true immediately.
The extremely tired messengers were quickly brought into Xiaoguan. Ma Dai had already rushed over, personally supported the messengers, and asked in a trembling voice:
“What did you say? A great victory?! Junhou Feng…Junhou Feng…”
Not only was his voice trembling, but his whole body was trembling.
He didn't even dare to ask what happened next.
“Great victory!” The messengers rushed over all the way, their bodies already unable to support themselves, and all their faces were stained with blood, sweat, mud, etc. mixed together.
It’s hard to see what their faces look like, but their proud and proud expressions are as real as substance, and the radiance they exude makes people dare not look closely.
The messenger who was supported by Ma Dai was already exhausted. He still took out an official document that was soaked with sweat from his arms and stuffed it into Ma Dai's hand, with great joy in his eyes:
"We won...we defeated the Cao thieves..."
As he spoke, he was so excited that he shed tears.
Ma Dai opened the official document eagerly. Some of the words on it were soaked with sweat, but the seal of the Colonel Protecting Qiang was still very clear.
“On October 23, the eighth year of the Jianxing reign of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers of the Yongling Xiaowei Mansion defeated the bandit leader Cao Zhen..."
Lest he might be dazzled, he looked at it again carefully, and finally raised his head and burst into laughter. This startled the birds on the mountain to fly up and circle.
After laughing for a long time, Ma Dai carefully folded the official document and praised repeatedly:
“Good! Good! Good! Good words!”
Isn't it?
The characters on the official document were painted with silver hooks. I don't know if it was Ma Dai's imagination. He just felt that a murderous and domineering spirit was about to overflow.
“Quick, help these strong soldiers down to rest!”
Ma Dai helped someone up with his own hands, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How powerful! How powerful!"
The messenger had a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes. In the end, he turned into crying and laughing at the same time.
his cries infected several people who were traveling with him.
The men, who were fighting with swords and axes, but did not flinch from the line between life and death, now relaxed their bodies and had no choice but to let others support them.
They all keep repeating one sentence:
“We won, we really won!”
None of the Xiaoguan soldiers who were watching dared to laugh at their current appearance.
In his eyes, his face was full of incomparable admiration.
Twenty thousand defeated one hundred thousand. Ma Dai can imagine how brutal this battle was.
He took a deep breath and bowed to several people.
Everyone followed Ma Dai and bowed to several people.
“After this battle, Feng Junhou will definitely become a famous general in the world, and the soldiers in Xiaowei Mansion can be said to be the best in the world.”
Ma Dai did not hesitate to express his praise.
After hearing this, several of the messengers wiped their eyes, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed again.
Smiling, he actually fell asleep leaning against the person next to him.
The news that Feng Junhou had defeated Cao Zhen had just spread throughout Xiaoguan, and several riders were already rushing out of the gate, preparing to cross Longshan and pass the news to the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion and the Longyou Dudu Mansion respectively.
This is news destined to shock the world.
But for Feng Junhou, who is at the epicenter of the earthquake, this is something to consider in the future.
Now he still has a lot of things to arrange.
Reconnecting with Xiao Guan is just one of them.
More importantly, the news must be spread to Linjing as quickly as possible.
Lest those idiots do what they did in 1949 and follow Captain Kaishen.
Feng Yong didn't even have time to meet Ma Dai, so he and Guan Ji led the officers and soldiers who were still able to move, and immediately turned back to support Linjing.
“If the Dark Night Battalion and the Guard Battalion had not been sent out, more troops would have been sent to support Linjing at this time. If there was another victory against Xian Yufu, it would be impossible to go to Chang’an to see..."
By the Jing River, a group of about three thousand people was marching quickly.
Although this battle was a great victory, the Xiaowei Mansion also suffered heavy casualties.
Before the armored cavalry was dispatched, facing Cao Zhen's frenzied attack, the soldiers at the forefront of the Xiaowei Mansion had already reached the point where all the wounded who were not lying on the ground were raising their swords and going into battle.
It can be said that Guan Ji's plan to induce Cao Zhen to attack with all his strength is 99% true. The only falsehood is that he hid the three thousand armored cavalry at the end.
Now in the army, people are either injured or out of strength and need to continue to rest and recuperate.
After resting for two days, the number of troops that could immediately return to Linjing was only 3,000.
Most of these three thousand soldiers were either from Nanxiang or Yuexun, and they were basically Feng Yong's most trusted disciples.
Soldiers born in Longyou currently have no way to compare with these young soldiers.
In addition to will and belief, many of these soldiers from Nanxiang and Yuexun followed Feng Yong from the beginning of the Northern Expedition.
They have experienced all the wars in Longyou and Liangzhou, large and small, and are rare elite soldiers on the battlefield.
Elite soldiers mean they have a better chance of surviving a war and recover faster.
More importantly, they are still elite soldiers with a preliminary sense of ownership:
The Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's thieves are mortal enemies. Only by destroying Cao's thieves and reviving the Han Dynasty can future generations enjoy the peaceful and comfortable days of Nanxiang and Yuesun.
For the soldiers who were born in Longyou, most of the soldiers selected were from Hu people due to the functions of the Xiaowei Mansion.
The cultivation of this kind of awareness is far from enough.
Compared with the children from Nanxiang and Yuexun, their battlefield survival rate is also lower.
So when returning to Linjing this time, Feng Yong temporarily organized these 3,000 people into the Wudang camp in Jufu, and he and Guan Ji personally took them to Linjing.
The remaining people will be led by Zhao Guang and Zhang Yi to meet the people coming from Xiaoguan.
Probably because he defeated Cao Zhen, Feng Junhou was a little confused, and what he said was a little careless.
Guan Ji, who was following Feng Yong on horseback, heard Feng Yong mentioning the Dark Night Camp and the Guard Camp at this time, and reminded her with a smile:
"Alang has been extremely happy these past two days. Cao Zhen has been so anxious to attack the camp these days, and Huo Yi has also put in a lot of effort."
After all, Dark Night Camp can be regarded as half a mountain camp, and the selected Wudang Camp is good at walking on mountain roads.
So he sent someone to walk back to Wushi City on a small path, and Wushi City used a fast horse to deliver the news. Although it was not the latest news, it was enough to let Feng Yong know the general situation of Huo Yi.
With Shi Bao, a smuggler who knew the roads well, Huo Yi's operation was smoother than expected.
Judging from the news sent over, he burned two batches of grain and grass in the first three days alone.
Although I don’t know how many things he did in the last few days, these two batches of food and grass alone were enough to put Cao Zhen under the pressure of poor food channels.
Combining Cao Zhen’s previous goals and the situation faced by the Han and Wei armies, Guan Ji formulated this nine-true and one-false strategy, half luring and half forcing Cao Zhen to raise his army to attack the camp.
Finally defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong scratched his head and smiled: "I took it for granted."
Then he sighed and said: "This confrontation with the enemy in front of the enemy is really something that only people with high IQs can play well."
Seeing Feng Junhou’s relaxed expression, Guan Ji asked strangely:
"I, Guan Alang, was extremely worried about Linjing when he was confronting Cao Zhen. As soon as the war stopped, he hurriedly led the army back to the defense. How come he was not in a hurry when he was halfway there?"
Feng Junhou laughed:
"When we get here, the news of the great victory should have spread throughout Linjing. If there is a loss in Linjing, then Wei Ran should also send the news."
"There is no news at this time, which means Linjing is still safe. Don't say that Xianyufu didn't capture Linjing, even if he did, he saw me leading the army."
As he spoke, he pointed at himself again and said enthusiastically, "I don't believe he really dares to stay in Linjing!"
Seeing her Alang's proud look, Guan Ji also followed his tone and said:
"Isn't that right? Attack Longguan, fight Zhang He, pacify Longxi, Dingjin City, and defeat Cao Zhen. In this battle, a ghost cavalry emerged that the world has never seen before."
The more she spoke, the smile on her face became thicker, "Coupled with the name of the ghost king in the past, and the name of Feng Junhou in the future, I am afraid that Cao's army will be as fearful as a tiger."
“Cao Zhen’s 100,000 men were defeated, and Xianyu Fuzhen dared to stay in Linjing. Aren’t he afraid that he would not be able to return to Chang’an?”
The first half of what he said was okay, but when he mentioned the bandit name Ghost King later, Feng Ghost King just yelled: Why is this woman talking more and more like an Onmyoji?
"What ghost king? People say that the ghost king still eats human flesh alive and controls thousands of women at night..."
Speaking of this, Feng Junhou glanced at Guan Ji meaningfully.
How could Guan Ji tolerate this man's provocation? But when she saw a sneer on her lips, she looked at the man with a half-smile: "How many girls does Alang want?"
Feng Junhou suddenly straightened up his face and said sincerely: "Xi Jun, I am lucky enough to meet you in my third life..."
“Do you still have a childhood sweetheart? I remember that Siniang’s skill in making willow whistles is something that few people can match...”
What plum?
What willow whistle?
Feng Junhou looked around blankly, "Where are we? How long until we reach Linjing?"
