The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms
Vol 9 Chapter 113: Chen Gong urged the horse to leave the camp
Zang Jun and Zhao Chong were defeated by Sun Ce as Li Xiang expected.
Zang Jun was captured.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Chong took the headquarters away from the battlefield in time, fled back to Jiyang County in Chenliu County, and sent someone to report to Zhang Miao without mentioning it.
But what Li Xiang didn't expect was that Sun Ce, like his father Sun Jian who didn't take Fengxian County, had no plans to occupy Guju, so when he entered the city and found the magistrate of Guju guarding the inner city, Sun Ce also Instead of continuing to attack, he praised the sentence, "I am wronged by this order, loyal to my duties, and a good official." After that, Zongbing looted the county and withdrew his troops.
The county magistrate did not know that Li Xiang and Liang Kui had escaped secretly, and when he heard the news that Yuzhou soldiers had entered the city, he was stunned and frightened. Luckily, he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent his trusted officials to Dingtao, scolding Li Xiang and Liang Kui, saying that the two of them were afraid of the enemy like tigers, and they deserted the city and fled. , took the lead in the soldiers, and then defeated Sun Ce, which is the sentence of vindication".
When Wu Zi, the prefect of Jiyin, received his letter, it was difficult to know whether it was true or false. While he was heartbroken about Zang Jun's disappearance, he raised his spirits and returned the official document to the magistrate, who was injustice, and worked hard for him. Plus commendation.
When Zang Jun was captured, he was surrounded by heavy siege, and he continued to fight. After capturing him, Sun Ce rejoiced that he dared to fight, and ordered soldiers to bring him. Upon seeing him, he saw his burly appearance and his love for talents. However, good birds choose wood to perch. Now that the general of Zhendong is strong, Jiyin will definitely be there for Xuzhou. Why don't you surrender to me, I will treat you with a confidant."
Zang Jun glared angrily and cursed, "I'd rather die than be in the company of thieves!"
Sun Ce's youthful face showed surprise, and said, "My family is a Han minister, and I am the military commander of the Han family. Why do you call me a thief?"
Zang Jun said: "You are plundering your troops and attacking the people. You are not a thief, what are you?"
Sun Ce was stunned and smiled: "How could it be my original intention to loot the people? I just wanted to use this to lure Sima into my ear." He ordered left and right, and said, "Return all the looted grain and livestock to me. villagers."
Huang Hai, Sun He, Yuan Xiong and other more than ten military officials were on the side, and they were very reluctant to hear this.
Yuan Xiong said, "General, those things..."
Sun Ce interrupted him and said beyond doubt: "Will you hurry up and obey our military orders?"
Yuan Xiong and others were helpless and had to take orders.
Sun Ce laughed and said to Zang Jun, "Sima, is this all right?"
Life is hard the only death. Zang Jun thought about it, if he did not surrender, Sun Ce would not let him go back to Dingtao, and he would definitely kill him; and Sun Ce was willing to return the plundered things to the villagers, and he could be considered a good deed for the people of Jiyin. , and also went down the stairs, although he was a little sorry for Wu Zi, but there was no other way, so he sighed and bowed down and said: "Jian Jun, see the general."
Sun Ce was overjoyed and burst into a bright smile, like a spring flower opening, but it was not soft, but a sassy heroic spirit exuded.
It fell into Zang Jun's eyes, making him stunned, and said sincerely, "It's really beautiful!"
…
Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son, one to break down the county, the other to break the grievances, respectively intimidated the county governors of Chen Liu and Jiyin, so that neither Zhang Miao nor Wu Zi could send county soldiers to support Cao Cao. -Although Wu Zi issued an order and sent the county officials to go to each county to forcibly collect the people's husbands and grains, but under the situation that the county's governance was unstable, the people and grains he recruited could only be used in the first place. Ding Tao.
At the same time that Sun Jian and Sun Ce were fighting, Xun Zhen also led a large army out of Changyi and into Chengshi.
In order to take advantage of the geographical advantage, Cao Cao left only three or two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the Chengshi county, and took the remaining twenty thousand men to cross the Jishui and build a camp on the west bank of the Jishui.
Xunzhen built a camp in the south of Chengshi, on the east bank of Jishui.
The two armies face each other across the river.
Played against each other for two days.
Two successive military reports reached Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao began to watch, one military report said that Sun Jian set fire to the county, and another said that Sun Ce captured the injustice.
After reading the two military newspapers, Cao Cao's heart sank to the bottom of the water.
Thanks to his deep sense of loss, his feelings of loss were not revealed.
Cao Ang, who was standing by the side, forwarded the military report to Cheng Li, Chen Gong, Man Chong, Liu Ruo, Ding Fei, Shi Huan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun and others who were sitting next to him.
After everyone saw it, Man Chong frowned and said, "Sun Wentai and Sun Bofu go in and out of Chenliu and Jiyin, like entering a no-man's land. What place is my Yantu? Can anyone come here?"
Cheng Li grasped the key point and said: "The Sun's father and son won the city without occupying it. This is obviously to contain the troops and horses of Chenliu and Jiyin for Xunzhendong. The purpose is nothing more than two, one is to By threatening the county government of the two counties as a means to force the two counties to dare not come to help our army;
He said to Cao Cao, "Duke Ming, Xu Xian, Le Jin, Liu Bei, Chen Bao and other troops have all arrived at Zhendong's tent. Now Zhendong and our army are in the river. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Zhendong They challenged our army for two consecutive days. Today, Zhendong began to tentatively attack the Cheng clan. The battle between our army and Xuzhou army is imminent, and Chen Liu and Jiyin are unable to protect themselves and cannot help each other. It is urgent! right."
Cao Cao asked, "Is there a good plan for you?"
Cheng Li looked at Chen Gong and remained silent.
Cao Cao knew that Cheng Li's good strategy must still be withdrawn to Dongjun. At this time, there was no internal discord, so Cao Cao did not ask Cheng Li again, but asked Chen Gong, Man Chong and others instead, saying: "Is there anything you can do? Countermeasures?"
Chen Gong twisted his beard, thought hard, and said while thinking: "Ming Gong, the only way..., there is only one way!"
"any solution?"
"According to the military report, the troops led by Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son are actually not many. Sun Ce has only 2,000 troops, and Sun Jian's troops are less than 1,000. Duke Ming can choose two generals, each with a certain number of soldiers, and send them. Invite to attack Sun's father and son. As long as they can be defeated, not only can I keep my rear safe, but also the army's heart can be stabilized, and Chenliu and Jiyin counties can also send troops to gather!"
After listening to Chen Gong's suggestion, Man Chong shook his head slightly.
Cao Cao saw his movements and asked, "Berning, what do you think?"
Man Chong said: "Chen Gong's policy, I'm afraid it won't work."
"How to say?"
Man Chong said: "Sun Jian and Sun Ce and their sons are just guerrillas. Our army may not be able to defeat them very well. If there are fewer troops sent by our army to invite them to attack, they may not be able to fight them; if there are too many, they will head south. Withdrawal, as soon as we enter the state of Chen and the state of Liang, will our army still be able to pursue it? Our army cannot pursue it! And when our army returns to the Cheng clan, they will lead their troops out again and continue to disturb me Chenliu and Jiyin. , how is it?"
Cao Cao nodded, took care of everyone, and said, "Berning's concern must be taken care of. Do you have any other countermeasures?"
Xiahou Dun got off the couch, stood in the tent, and said loudly, "There will be a countermeasure at the end."
"you say."
"That is to give up Jiyin and retreat to Dongjun!"
When Chen Gong heard this, he became angry again and said, "Before, Duke Cheng had already suggested Duke Ming to retire to Dongjun County. Why is the Colonel also making such a suggestion to Duke Ming? Before, our army had few soldiers and horses and lacked food supplies. Duke Cheng made this suggestion, and it is understandable; now my army has 30,000 infantry and cavalry and enough food for two months, but how can we retreat without fighting? How can the captain make this suggestion again!"
Cheng Li was ruthless by nature and did not treat the common people and soldiers as human beings. Xiahou Dun was extremely disgusted with him, but he had to admit that Cheng Li's strategy and vision were excellent. Xiahou Dun now fully recognizes and supports this suggestion of returning to Dongjun.
Xiahou Dun said: "Chen Gong, you're right, there are indeed 30,000 soldiers in our army now, but you can see what soldiers these 30,000 soldiers are! Almost half of them are recruited temporarily. Strong men! Not to mention training, there are not enough weapons for them. There are many people who use hoes and rakes as weapons. There are also those who cut wood as soldiers. Chen Gong, such a soldier, do you think you can match Xun Zhenzhi? Are you going to fight against Xuzhou Hu Ben? If you have to let them go into battle, don't you tell them to die?"
Chen Gong said angrily, "Our army is hindered by the water, and if Xun Zhendong dares to cross the river to attack, our army waits for him to cross and attack him, how can we not win?"
"Is Xun Zhenzhi a fool? The Jishui River is so long from north to south, why does he have to cross the river here? If he crosses the river elsewhere, what are your countermeasures? Our army can keep all the Jishui two or three hundred kilometers under control. Can't it? If you really want to watch over all of them, our army will be scattered. Our army is only 30,000 people, half of them have no fighting strength, and they dare to be scattered everywhere? Isn't that self-defeating?"
Chen Gongyu concluded.
Xiahou Dun was wearing armor and it was inconvenient to bow down, so he saluted Cao Cao in the army, and said: "Ming Gong, if it is broken, it will be broken! Take advantage of the Sun's father and son's harassment of Jiyin and Chenliu, the army still doesn't know about it, Pull out the camp in time and retreat, and enter Dongjun from the west! Otherwise, when the news spreads in the army, when the army is in chaos, even if you want to withdraw, it will not be easy to withdraw! Maybe there will be a mutiny!"
Cao Cao noticed that Chen Gong was flushed with anger, and thought to himself: "Gongtai is a sincere person, but his nature is stubborn." UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com asked Man Chong, Liu Ruo, Shi Huan, Ding Fei and others said, "What do you think?"
Man Chong said, "What Xiahou Colonel said is very true!"
Liu Ruo and the others were either old friends of Cao Cao or a former official from his hometown. Since everything followed Cao Cao's lead, they all understood Cao Cao's thoughts, and they all answered in unison: "It is time to return to Dongjun as soon as possible!"
Chen Gong was so angry that his hands were shaking. He raised his hand, pointed at Cao Cao, and said, "Meng De! I, Yun Cheng and I will move up and down, run for you, persuade Yanshi, and welcome you to be the prefect of Yanzhou. , for what? Isn't it just because I thought you were outstanding and could protect our territory? And Xia Yuncheng died in battle in order to show you the northern flank of the Cheng family. The danger of saving water, but you have to go without a fight! I won't ask you, can you be worthy of my trust in you, can you be worthy of Yuncheng?"
Cao Cao looked ashamed and said, "Gongtai!"
Chen Gong rolled his sleeves and turned around, leaving the tent.
Cao Cao chased out of the tent, and Chen Gong had already gone more than ten paces away.
Cao Cao kept calling, but Chen Gong never looked back, only to see that he grabbed a horse from a military officer who was looking after Xiahou Dun and the others' mounts, turned over to ride, and rushed to the Yuanmen.
Cao Cao shouted eagerly, "Gongtai, where are you going?"
Chen Gong left without answering.
