Great Wei Nengchen

...........................

After the tomb was completed, the two sides offered tribute, worshiped the dead together, and wailed bitterly... They were enemies in life, and fought continuously, and they were in the same cave after death, and they were companions. It is the blood of the Han family, so why do compatriots kill each other?

As the stars moved and night fell, the soldiers of both sides went back to their camps, leaving only a huge grave mound, the cold wind was desolate, and the sadness was miserable... So far, the day's fighting is over, but the contest between the two sides is still going on, and the fighting under the night , but more intense?

..................................................................................................................

As night fell, it was pitch black. After all the troops came back, they immediately sealed off the camp. Except for the soldiers who were in charge of the night watch, the rest of the people went into the tents to rest after eating the battle meal. They tried their best to replenish their strength and prepare for the next fierce fight!

"Swoosh!... Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At the same time, a group of ghostly figures emerged from the darkness one after another. They had no banners, no armor, and the weapons in their hands were also very strange. Instead of swords, swords, bows and shields, they were shovels, hammers, ropes, Compass... and so on, they are not so much an army, but a group of bows and arrows. That's right, they are the famous Digger Army! '

The members of the "Digger Army" are basically grave robbers. They are not good at fighting on the battlefield, but they are masters at digging holes. When Cao Cao raised troops in Yanzhou, there was a shortage of weapons, food, and military pay. There is no next meal, and we can only eat wild vegetable soup to satisfy our hunger. The situation is really horrible!

In desperation, under Xiao Yi's suggestion, Cao Cao issued an order to secretly gather a group of tomb robbers to dig out the tombs of emperors, generals and ministers, to find jewels, jade, gold and silver utensils... all kinds of burial objects to supplement military supplies , Rescue the common people!

Over the past few years, the "Digger Army" has robbed countless tombs and seized a large amount of gold, silver and jewels. They contributed [-]% of the tax revenue of the imperial court. They subsidized military supplies and helped the people, which played an extremely important role, so First, the prime minister Cao Cao rewarded them heavily, and named the leader, the squirrel, as "General Faqiu Zhonglang", and set up ten "Lieutenants of Mojin" under him. He gave them formal official positions and titles, and became a team directly under the prime minister's mansion!

In addition to digging graves and grabbing gold and silver, the 'Digger Army' also played an important role on the battlefield and made some extraordinary achievements. Since they came to Guandu, they have worked day and night, digging three trenches around the camp, building Overcoming countless barriers, Cao's army fought against the strong with the weak, and was able to withstand the opponent's attack. The 'Digger Army' definitely contributed a lot!

Eyes are black, silver is white, who in the world is not greedy for money? Seeing that Cao Cao used the "digger army" to obtain countless gold, silver and jewels, the other princes cursed him, saying that he was "digging people's bones, and the laws of heaven cannot be tolerated." , sooner or later there must be evil rewards', in the dark, they are also recruiting tomb robbers one after another, preparing to take a share of the underground world...

General Yuan Shao was like this. He was the most scolded among the princes and the one who followed suit the fastest. He ordered his eldest son, Yuan Tan, to recruit tomb robbers in the four prefectures of Hebei, release death row prisoners from prisons, and set up a team to "capture robbers." Camp' is called catching thieves and maintaining law and order. What it actually does is dig up people's bones and steal money.

Recently, Yuan Jun has launched frequent attacks with great momentum, regardless of casualties, and even has some crazy intentions. However, Cao Cao is keenly aware that this is a strategy of "building plank roads in the open, crossing Chencang secretly", and coupled with Yuan Jun's camp. , several earth hills suddenly appeared, so they went up, judging that they were digging a tunnel and wanted to attack Guandu secretly, so they mobilized the 'digger army' to deal with their fellows!

"The prime minister trusts and entrusts him with the heavy responsibility of defense. Brothers must work harder to win glory and wealth. It depends on our abilities... Heaven, earth, people, ghosts, gods, Buddhas, demons, animals, deter, suppress, escape , things..."

On a high slope, the chinchilla held a torch in one hand and a gossip compass in the other, silently reciting the Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret art, and judging the position of the enemy's tunnel according to the direction of the mountains and rivers!

At the same time, the subordinates acted quickly. They were distributed up and down the trench, buried a large urn every hundred or so, and sent out people with excellent hearing to use the principle of echo to eavesdrop on the underground movement...

"Goo! Goo! . . . croak! croak!"

"Sha! Sah!... Wipe! Wipe!"

..............................

The underground world is rich and colorful, with the chirping of crickets, the trumpeting of toads, and a slight "squeaking" sound. People who steal graves all the year round know that someone is digging tunnels, and the distance is getting closer and closer. It's approaching the Guandu Camp!

Judging by the sound, the 'Digger Army' moved quickly. They calculated the position, and then arranged elite soldiers, holding bright swords, waiting for the opponent to show up. This is a kind of contest among peers, whose Whoever has the higher technical level is the winner!

"Pa-ta!... Whoosh!"

In the army of diggers, there are a large number of talents, who can distinguish the position by listening to the sound, and are extremely accurate. After a while, at the designated position, the soil suddenly collapsed, and a dark cave appeared, followed by a human head. , covered in mud and messed up, it was the soldiers of Yuan Jun who came to attack!

From Yuan Jun's camp to the Guandu defense line, the distance between the two is more than [-] li. The underground situation is complicated, and the excavation is extremely difficult. Yuan Jun spent two months of hard work, and finally touched the vicinity of Cao Jun's camp. They were about to launch a sneak attack and break through the Guandu defense line in one fell swoop. Then thought that what greeted them was not victory, but a shining sharp blade?

"Swipe!... Pata!"

Outside the cave, several men with sharp knives had been preparing for a long time. After seeing Yuan Jun's soldiers, they swung their knives and chopped them off. Throwing it directly into the trench, Yuan Jun in the rear didn't know the situation, and got out one after another... One knife at a time, no mercy!

"Wow!... There is an ambush outside, don't go out again!"

"Wow!... Tell the people behind that this road is blocked, back away quickly!"

..............................

The same is true in several other places. Yuan Jun's soldiers were ambushed by the "digger army" as soon as they showed their heads. Man, Yuan Jun finally came to his senses, screaming in the crypt, but he didn't dare to show his head again!

"The two armies are at war, my masters, be merciful and merciless. It is a big taboo for military strategists. Kill them all and leave no one behind!"

After following Da Sima-Xiao Yi for a long time, under the influence of his ears and eyes, the ground squirrel also became decisive in killing. He waved the torch three times in his hand to send a signal to his brothers, killing people underground does not necessarily use a knife!

"Long! ... Long! Long!"

After seeing the signal, the 'diggers' in the trench ran to the high slope one after another. After a while, the torrential river poured down, quickly filled the trench, and then poured into the crypt, like a long whale swallowing water , making a loud 'rumbling' sound, mixed with some low-pitched screams...

Guandu is located in an excellent location, facing Honggou in the east and Jishui in the west. The most indispensable thing is the water vein. As early as ten days ago, the ground squirrel sent a large number of people to dig a ditch to connect the upstream chasm. When you get off the gate, you are ready to flood the enemy!

Between heaven and earth, water and fire are ruthless, and the river flows endlessly, all of which are poured into the crypt. The soldiers of Yuan Jun hiding inside are in great trouble. The crypt is narrow, there is no way to escape, and the river pours in. One can imagine what will happen to them...

The strong attack failed, the sneak attack failed, and the defense line at Guandu was impenetrable. Now that the matter has come to an end, what strategy will Yuan Jun, who has been beaten to death, come up with?

Chapter 873 Xu You's 'Counterfeiting'

On the south bank of the Yellow River-Yuan Jun's camp, tens of 10 people are stationed here, looking at the past: the barriers are towering, as solid as a rock, and the trenches are everywhere, criss-crossing...the area covers more than [-] miles, and in the daytime-flags flutter like dancing The clouds are daunting; in the middle of the night - bonfires are flickering, as many as stars, and there are simply countless; among them, the place where the lights are most dense is Yuan Shao's Chinese army tent!

As a great general, Yuan Shao's status is incomparably noble, and he comes from a powerful family, and his nature is extravagant and elegant. The Chinese military tent he lives in is naturally different. To put it simply in six words: huge, extravagant, and rich!

First of all, it is huge: the large tent of a general commander sleeps and rests in the back, and discusses affairs in the front. It can accommodate 200 people, which is considered relatively large. Yuan Shao's central army tent is different, thirty feet from east to west, and fifty feet from north to south. , more than five feet high, can accommodate a thousand people banquet, and it doesn't feel crowded at all. Compared with ordinary palaces, the area is not inferior!

This is just the front tent. If you add back tents, side tents, kitchen tents, and guard tents...it will be a palace complex. The surrounding area covers an area of ​​hundreds of feet. Giant logs, cloth, felt, and ropes are used to build tents... ...and all kinds of daily necessities, it takes hundreds of horse-drawn carriages to transport them here!

The second is luxury: In order to show the majesty of the general, the Chinese army tent is magnificent, the pillars are made of golden nanmu - tall and strong, the curtains are beautiful as the clouds, and the stalls are made of camel hair from the Western Regions - warm and comfortable, even The rope used to fix the large tent is also woven of white yak leather, which is strong and beautiful, but the most important thing is that it is expensive, and a random one is worth dozens of gold!

The interior decoration can't be bad either, tables, tables, couches, incense burners, lamps, tableware...all daily necessities are inlaid with jewels, gold and silver decorations, which simply surpasses the inner palace of the imperial palace. What the emperor of the Han family does not have, you can find it here. Some people have privately estimated that in order to build this military tent and maintain its daily operation, the money and materials consumed every year need the tax support of two counties, extravagant Huge, unprecedented!

In the end, it is enriched: other people’s large tents in the Chinese army, that is, daily life, meetings, reception... several functions, Yuan Shao’s big tents are different, eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, exercising, reading, enjoying... …Colorful, full-featured, only unexpected, nothing impossible!

Private kitchen tent: Twelve hours a day, the fire is never extinguished, all kinds of precious ingredients are available, there are hundreds of chefs, and the general's food is provided at any time, refurbished, never repeated!

Yuefu Zhang: There are hundreds of female singers and singers, all of whom are good at singing and dancing, and have outstanding looks. When the general is depressed, he can come and have a good time, which is better than living gods!

Treasure account: It has countless rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of precious books, all of which are some lonely and rare books... In addition, there is also a group of literati and inkmen, who specialize in arty, to sing praises to the general !

............................................................

People can't help talking about such a luxurious Chinese army tent, saying that the general didn't come to fight, but imitated the ancient emperors and went out for a tour. , Thinking of the relatives in my hometown who ate bran-swallowed vegetables, I couldn't help feeling resentful, and began to be divorced!

...................................................................................................

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was wearing a Shu brocade robe and holding a general sword, sitting on the commander-in-chief, his face was full of sadness, his attendants were all hiding in the distance, no one dared to approach, the battle ahead was unstoppable. It went well, the general was in a bad mood, always venting his anger on others, he had executed more than a dozen singers, five literati, and smashed many antique jade objects......

In this massive southward march, Hebei mobilized tens of 10 horses and millions of young and strong peasants. They also consumed countless weapons, food and grass, preparing to wipe out the main force of Cao's army in one fell swoop, break through Xuchang City, and welcome the emperor of Han. To determine the major events in the world, who would have thought that the war will be unfavorable and every step will be difficult!

In the previous Battle of the White Horse, although some troops were lost, they were conquered after all. According to Yuan Shao's estimation, within a month or two at most, his army would be able to break through Guandu and attack Cao Jun's lair - Xuchang City, to achieve his dominance Central Plains, Dangping Kyushu, the dream of establishing a 'Yuan Dynasty'!

It's a pity that the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Cao's army united as one, defending the Guandu defense line and never retreating. Yuan Jun attacked day and night, causing countless casualties. He was still unable to cross the thunder pool. Half a year has passed, and the battle situation is still unclear. Negative, even showing signs of reversal!

The Hebei Group originally planned: "Send troops from the north and the south, pinch Cao's army, disperse their forces, and win in one fell swoop." As a result, on the Huainan battlefield, Jiangdong's troops were defeated and retreated to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Sending someone to send a letter, continue to ask for horses, ordnance, food and grass, as a reward for sending troops, the defeated general dares to speak, is it really unreasonable?

After the war in the south ended, one hundred thousand Cao troops rushed north to help, and brought a large amount of ordnance, food and grass, and the Guandu defense line was strengthened. Fortunately, Da Sima Xiao Yi was seriously injured, and he was already dying under the crack of the golden sore. In other words, when 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' gallops on the battlefield, Yuan Jun no longer has the heart to fight!

As for the Guandu battlefield, the generals of the Yuan army tried their best, invested countless troops and material resources, attacked day and night, and used a variety of moves, but it was still difficult to defeat the enemy. I said a conscience: "It's not that the generals of the Yuan army are incompetent, it is that the Cao army is too cunning!"

Several strong attacks were ineffective. Yuan Jun changed his tactics. At the beginning, he was forced to make a plan. He continued to build barriers and advance step by step. He suppressed the enemy with archers and forced Cao Jun to abandon the Guandu defense line. Advantages, divided into several groups, advance together, go straight to the city of Xuchang, and seal the victory in one fell swoop!
