Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 381
"The south is in a state of emergency one after another. The Yellow Turban bandits conquered two cities in seven days."

After reading the information sent by Wu Anguo, Kong Rong's face was somber that he was about to drop water.

After being silent for a long time, he leaned over and looked around the crowd and asked: "The survival of the country is at this moment. Do you have a good plan, please listen carefully."

The people who were talking so loudly just now became dumb. You look at me, I look at you, and they looked at each other for a while, but no one made a sound.

After a long time, Kong Rong sighed in disappointment, looked directly at Wu Anguo and said, "An Guo, in your opinion, what is the purpose of the Xuzhou king's current offensive?"

Hearing this, Wu Anguo looked up at Kong Rong, saw his eyes were hot and urgent, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly, after this saint, the famous people in the country are sometimes so innocent that it makes people laugh.

Xuzhou has already launched an offensive, and asked "what does it mean?"
Obviously, there was a subtext that Kong Rong didn't ask.

What he wanted to ask was whether Wang Zheng dispatched troops from Langya Dongwu to attack the south of Beihai Kingdom this time, whether it was a tentative attack or a general attack.

"This son of Wang Yukou is different from ordinary yellow scarf bandits."

Shen Yin came to the meeting, Wu Anguo said: "I see his military actions in the past two years, except that he was a little eager to attack some counties and counties in Linzi and Qingzhou at the beginning of the incident, and he was a little young, and then he plundered Langya and captured Pengcheng. , Conquering the Pi, all of them are planned and then acted. Whenever an attack occurs, it will affect the whole body. Before Dongwu launched the offensive, there was actually a small group of harassment and temptation for more than a month, which should have been premeditated .”

"Premeditated?"

The implication is that this is the prelude to the general attack on our Beihai?

Kong Rong knew in his heart that what Wu Anguo said was right.But he still couldn't help being disappointed, and the anger that had been suppressed forcibly surged up again.

"The king of Xuzhou's thief had planned it long ago, but didn't the truth tell him that he had already issued an order to defend the army in all the important places, and prepare troops and horses to prepare for it?"

Kong Rong stood up, walked back and forth, his steps were short and impatient, and said to himself while pacing: "An Guo, you said before that there may be hidden worries in the south, and the truth has agreed to your request, and specially sent five hundred reinforcements. The cavalry went to Gaomi County, but why did it end like this?"

"Why did you still lose two cities in a row within seven days under such circumstances?"

Wu Anguo was speechless, and after a while he said: "An enemy has taken advantage of being caught by surprise and attacking him by surprise. We have reminded him beforehand that the defenders of the two cities may still be slack."

"Erze?" After a pause, Wu Anguo looked at Kong Rong and sighed: "The enemy's general will take the lead to climb first, even Luo Zhen was cut off before he went through ten rounds in his hands, so his morale is so high." Big crash, inherent fiasco."

"what?"

Hearing this, Kong Rong's eyes widened, and his face was disbelieving: "Whether the information is wrong, how can Luo Zhen be so unbearable?"

Luo Zhen was the chief general who was sent to reinforce Gaomi before. He was originally Wu Anguo's deputy, and Kong Rong and Wu Anguo knew his abilities well.

At that time, the eighth route armies and horses joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo, but they were blocked by Lv Bu at Hulao Pass. Wu Anguo used to fly out with a hammer and fought with Lv Bu for more than ten rounds, but was cut off by his halberd. Abandoning the hammer and walking away, it was Luo Zhen who stepped forward in time and forced the horse to meet him, blocking Lu Bu for two or three rounds, and then the Eighth Route Army soldiers came out together, and Wu Anguo was saved.

After this battle, Lu Bu's invincible reputation was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wu Anguo and Luo Zhen also proved themselves.

Although it was very embarrassing, at least they survived for a few rounds and escaped with their lives from the hands of this Marquis Wen.

Such Luo Zhen, this time in the hands of the enemy general, did not go through ten rounds?

Doesn't that mean that this man's bravery is also unsuitable, and he is close to Lu Bu?
There was only a slap, but Kong Rong was so distracted that he overturned the tea cup in front of the case, and the water flowed all over the floor. However, he didn't care about his demeanor, pointed at Wu Anguo and asked, "What is the enemy general called?" name?"

It is impossible for a capable person with such bravery to be unknown, but before Wang Zheng's command, there was no such a fierce general. Kong Rong is thinking more now. He is very afraid that there are other people standing behind Xuzhou this time. .
For example, Yuan Shu, who was said to have formed an alliance with Wang Zheng.

Wu Anguo understood Kong Rong's reaction very well. When he heard the news, the same thought flashed through his mind.

"This man's name is Huang Zhong." Wu Anguo said slowly: "Based on my understanding, this man may be a brave general selected by Wang Zheng from Xuzhou during this period. After all, it is not uncommon for the people to have such a fierce man .”

"Xiangguo, the immediate priority is to discuss countermeasures. The two countries are at war. After all, one person's strength is limited, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Hearing this, Kong Rong stared blankly at Wu Anguo. After a while, he sat back on the table and asked hoarsely, "What countermeasures do you have? Come quickly."

When an enemy country strikes, the countermeasures are nothing more than peace and war.

Since Xuzhou launched this offensive on its own initiative, and it has been planned for a long time, peace talks are naturally impossible, so the only way left is to fight.

How should we fight?

In Wu'an country, it has always been nothing more than water coming to cover, soldiers coming to block, dispatching troops and sending generals.

"Send soldiers and horses from Yingling and Chunyu to go south to assist Chang'an." Wu'an Guodao: "Xuzhou's army has gone to Pingchang and Gaomi, and then it must go to Yi'an, where it will go east to take Donglai, or continue. Going north to threaten Pingshou, now the forces cannot be dispersed, the two have the power to choose one, we still have to choose Chang'an!"

"This city is full of dangerous rivers and rivers, so it can be relied on. If you set up good generals and fine soldiers, and arrange them properly, it is still unknown who will win the battle."

Speaking of this, Wu Anguo took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "This time, I will go in person!"

Kong Rong looked at Wu Anguo, his expression slightly relaxed.

Since he came to Beihai Kingdom, he has done a lot of things in terms of setting up cities, setting up schools, and personally writing letters, demonstrating Confucianism and recommending virtuous people.
But these things can't be said to be useless in troubled times, at least if you only do these things, it won't work.

But above all in history, in the most critical martial arts, this descendant of Confucius just did nothing.

The so-called 'but sitting high and doing nothing'!
When the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were in trouble, he just sat back and ignored them.

When the fierce battle between Yuan Tan and Tian Kai was in full swing, he was also in high spirits.

Even when Liu Bei, who had the grace of rescue, asked for help at a critical moment, Kong Rong ignored it.

Fortunately, he still has a good eye for recommending and selecting talents. During his tenure, the three subordinates he promoted, one is Yi, the other Peng Qiu, and Wu Anguo in front of him are all quite talented people, one civil, one military, one Finance, abruptly, is to support the overall situation of Beihai.

But Wu Anguo can still deal with the internal thieves reluctantly, and the opponent is replaced by Wang Zheng, who has become famous in recent years.
Kong Rong didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this moment he couldn't help but think of another person.

The person who once saved the building when it was about to fall, and rescued Kong Rong when he was in danger, also had the courage of a man.

It's a pity that this time Ziyi probably won't come to rescue me again.
Pressing the annoyance and regret in his heart, Kong Rong thought for a while and asked again: "Why choose one of the two, and send some of the garrison in Dong'anping to Yi'an."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Anguo categorically vetoed it: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"The Dong'an Kingdom's garrison is not only non-transferable, but also needs to be added!" Wu Anguo said categorically, "Minister Yuan, Yuan Shao's army is also ambitious, and we need to prevent Yuan Tan from taking advantage of the fire to loot."

Dong'an Kingdom was the west gateway of Beihai Kingdom before the county. As soon as the news of Yuan Tan breaking Linzi and burning Tian Kai reached Beihai, Wu Anguo immediately asked for reinforcements to be sent to the city in case of accidents.

"Yasukuni."

Kong Rong was about to say more, seeing Wu Anguo's resolute face, he had to smile wryly and said, "In that case, I'll do it up to you."

At this time, the sky was already covered with clouds, and there were bursts of thunder.

The mountains are undulating, the river is rushing, and there are countless people looking up at the sky at the same time in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

A storm is coming.

The heavy rain poured down like a torrent, sweeping across the entire North Sea.

The vast expanse of white rain, continuous to the ground, seemed to be pouring down from the Milky Way, making a chaotic noise.Falling from walls, tents, treetops, bubbling, converging into streams and rivers of rapids.

Every eye is water, and so is the earth.

The clouds in the sky were so low that you could touch them with your hands. The already gloomy scene was covered by the dense rain curtain, which blocked everyone's sight, making it difficult to see clearly from a little further away.

The place where you can look is gray, and from time to time, there will be lightning like a fire snake, tearing the sky apart, and the moment when it flashes away, the sky and the earth are bright, and the outline of the mountains and the city can be seen just now.

The rain started yesterday, and it didn't stop for a day and a night. Instead, it became heavier and more violent.

Under the impact of the rain, large chunks of soil on the mountain collapsed and turned into mudflows, flowing wantonly. The post road was already muddy, and people and horses stepped on it, and half of their legs could be sunk.Many trees were struck by lightning, and they were planted on the road in all directions, making the road more and more blocked and making it difficult to walk.

Outside Gaomi City, the camp of the Xuzhou Army.

Zang Ba lifted the curtain of the cowhide handsome tent, looked outside, and saw that the wind was violent and the rain was dense, and the bean-sized raindrops poured on half of his body head-on, chilling his bones.He shivered, retreated in a hurry, took off his helmet, touched his bald head, wiped the rainwater off his face, and muttered a curse: "My God, a rainstorm can't stop. It's raining." It’s so big, can’t you get the disease?”

When it rains, the weather is humid.Charcoal was burned in the tent to remove moisture.

Several generals gathered around the brazier, two of them probably just came in the rain, took off their clothes, and were warming up naked.One of them said: "That's right, I haven't seen such a heavy rain for many years. I was patrolling the camp just now. The west side is fine, but the east side is close to the sea and the terrain is low. Brothers' tents are full of water, so I can't make it."

Another person on the side interjected: "Fortunately, I chose a good place to set up camp. Otherwise, there would be more than just water in the tent, and the whole camp would have been flooded. Just yesterday, I went to Chayun Mountain to watch the release. I saw some villages near the river, and many of them were flooded."

Hearing this, Zang Ba frowned immediately: "How about the tea cloud landscape? Are the horses placed there not in the way?"

"Don't worry, chief." The general is an old man beside Zang Ba. In a certain way, the relationship between Wang Zheng and Wu Sheng is similar to that of Wang Zheng and Wu Sheng. He was one of them when Zang Ba robbed his father and rescued his father. Now he is attached to Zang Ba After entering the royal government, he was often very casual in private: "It's not a problem, but the rain brought a lot of soil. To be on the safe side, I have ordered the soldiers who took care of the horses to move to another place to stock them. In case the rocks fall, if there is no war, first Injured the army horse."

Zang Ba nodded, feeling a little relieved.

They were born as thieves. What they lacked most in the early years was equipment and horses. The more they lacked, they liked it. Ever since he started with Tao Qian, whenever Zang Ba went to battle, his first consideration was always the placement of cavalry and horses. Although the proportion of cavalry in the North Sea is not much, it is also the same.

Looking at the silent middle-aged man, Zang Ba smiled and said, "Brother Huang, what are you thinking?"

That person was Huang Zhong. He was listening to the sound of the rain by the brazier for a moment, his expression a bit serious:

"General Zang, before we set off, the state pastor ordered us to use battle as a substitute for training within a month, so that we can train the new army in preparation for great use. At the same time, make an all-out offensive posture to turn Beihai's attention to the south. Cover the move to the west."

"But now that the two cities have just been conquered, it rains heavily. I don't think the rain will stop for a while. If this delays the battle, it will be troublesome."

"We have just launched an attack, and we have conquered two cities in a short period of time. In other words, the momentum is not small." Zang Ba pondered for a while, and said: "The so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the rain is so violent again. I think it may be It will clear up in two or three days, and the battle will not be delayed, Brother Huang need not worry."

With the merit of dedicating the city of Tan, plus the fact that he brought soldiers and horses to join him, Zang Ba's current official position is naturally far higher than that of Huang Zhong. It's just that during this period of time, Huang Zhong's ability has completely convinced Zang Ba and the others. Follow up, even the address has become intimate.

Another person echoed: "The leader is right, Brother Huang, in my opinion, the rain is not all bad. If it goes according to plan, we will fight Yi'an next. This place is no better than the plateau. The city is large, the population is large, and the food and grass are sufficient. There were originally many defenders. I heard that some soldiers and horses have recently settled in. We are not afraid of it, but after all, most of the soldiers are new soldiers. After fierce battles, they are already tired Well, taking advantage of the rain to take a break is also good. It’s just time to recharge your batteries, which will be beneficial for future battles.”

"Brother Xu." Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "The reason why I am worried is precisely because there are too many new recruits in our army."

Zang Ba was startled when he heard the words: "How do you say that?"

"The law of war says: one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion. The new soldiers fight with the courage of a moment. They are not trained enough. In the past half a month, nearly a thousand people have been killed or killed. If the delay is long, let them come back to their senses. , It is inevitable that you will lose your courage and be timid and afraid of fighting. I am afraid that it will not be good for future sieges."

What he said made sense, Zang Ba was pacing in the tent while thinking: "Then what should we do? Is it like how Zhou Mu used to attack Linzi in the rain to attack the city?"

"The two are not the same."

Huang Zhongdao: "Zhou Mu took the lead at the time, but there was a group of elites like the Tianzhuying who broke through the formation together, and they were able to take down the city in one battle. How can we copy it and use these recruits?"

"Besides, cities are different from city to city."

"Linzi had been besieged for many days at that time. After a long battle, we were already mentally and mentally exhausted. We are now fighting Yi'an, which is the first battle. The enemy can't slack off. But with such a heavy wind and rain, let alone attacking the city, it is impossible to walk. Difficult. Not to mention the slippery city walls, narrow field of view, unable to shoot bows and arrows, definitely not."

"The weather is not beautiful, so what can we do?" Zang Ba sighed: "We can only wait patiently. Zhou Mu has always been open-minded and will definitely understand. It is expected that he will not blame us for the bad weather."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and scolded directly: "Amon, what did you build to block the water? It's all poured in and wet Naigong's feet!"

The aisle in the camp outside the commander's tent was full of stagnant water. At this time, the soldiers were building a circle of soil and stones along the commander's tent as a barrier.

It's just that the accumulated water overflowed when it was too high, soaking the ground inside the tent, and forming a lot of puddles. It happened that Zang Ba accidentally stepped into a place just now. Fortunately, the leather boots he was wearing were not soaked. , just splashed a lot of muddy water on the armor.

Amon was his personal captain, who stood guard outside the tent in the rain. When he heard the order, he responded loudly. He commanded the people to raise the water barrier again, and then took lime and firewood ash, and sprinkled them in the tent finely.There was water on his armor, where it splashed and dripped, the ground was white in the east and black in the west.

Zang Ba became even more upset, kicked his ass directly, and cursed: "You are clumsy! What is your handsome account? You can't do this job well. What use are you for?"

Amon ran out of the tent while touching his ass, and replied with a playful smile: "Knowing that the leader is irritable, this little flesh and blood is willing to beat and scold, and it is also a blessing to let the leader calm down."

I didn't pay attention while running, and brought down two stones that blocked the water. The accumulated water outside the tent immediately found a vent, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the tent, half a finger deep.

Lime and firewood ash rose up, and the charcoal black was mixed, and the tent was in a mess for a while.

Now Zang Ba was really angry, and suddenly, he picked up the whip and rushed up to deal with this useless subordinate.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded beside him:
"Have it!"

What's there?
Zang Ba wondered and followed the prestige, but saw that Huang Zhong had already jumped up, and was staring at him with joy, his eyes sparkling.

"General, I have thought of a plan."

"Even if the rain doesn't stop, the city can be broken!"
