Unlike Qiao Xuan and Zhou Zhong, who were in their 40s and 50s, Huang Fusong was already in his [-]s this year, which was already a rare long life among big men.
It's just that he didn't gradually become smoother with age like other old people. Huangfusong's experience in the battlefield over the past few decades did not polish his character, but made him more upright now, which can be said to be true. Fang Xingzhi is a model of a generation of veterans.
In addition, in the past few years, Huangfusong led an army of tens of thousands to cooperate with Lu Zhi in a powerful battle between Julu and the Yellow Turban Army. This battle directly made him a famous general of the generation who became famous all over the world. It also made his temperament more resolute, never giving He Jin or Zhang Rang any good looks because of their special status.
Just like now, when He Jin informed him that reinforcements were sent to him, but the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, Huangfusong was extremely upset.
He has worked in the army all his life, and what he hates the most is that these power ministers or eunuchs rely on their status to be different all day long, thus showing an unusual laxity and leisure.
Among other things, this attitude alone has already made Huangfu Song think about finding out who the leader of the reinforcement army is, and what form he will use to join him when he returns to Luoyang. Book.
It's just a pity that Huangfusong's idea will not have a chance to be realized.
He had been leading troops out to fight for almost a year, but he didn't know that the reinforcements He Jin sent to him this time were not the local chickens and dogs like before, but Zhou Yu, one of the very few Jiangdong aristocratic sons with real talents in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Not to mention how much better than the current Dong Zhuo in leading the army, just from the perspective of personal ability, the difference between Zhou Yu and He Jin's close ministers is still very obvious.
As for these things, Huangfusong might not have a chance to learn about these things in a short time.
The army he was thinking about just now did not start from Luoyang as he expected, and rushed straight to Chencang in the west of Chang'an to meet him, but immediately turned to the Yellow River after leaving Luoyang, and went all the way up the Yellow River .
Now, Zhou Yu has brought the [-] private soldiers handed over to him by He Jin into the Wei River through the Sanmen Gorge.When he goes west along the Wei River, the final destination will appear in front of them.
Eight hundred miles west of Chang'an, it is Tianshui, Gansu Province, the home of this "rebel army", that is, Hanyang, an ancient county affiliated to the Liangzhou Governor's Department.
……
Speaking of Hanyang County, it can be seen from the name that it is taken from the sun of the Han River, which means it is located on the north bank of the Han River.
If it is said that Lujiang River is the gateway between the entire Jiangdong and the Central Plains, Hanyang is the gateway between Xiliang and the Central Plains, and has played the role of an important traffic route for thousands of years.
From here to the northwest, there is Tianshui, another county in Liangzhou, and after that is Wuwei, all of which are extremely famous cities in the romances of later generations.Ma Teng and his comrade-in-arms Han Sui, who fell in love and killed each other, both rose up here. Later, when the allied forces of the princes sought Dong Zhuo, the two still caused Dong Zhuo a lot of trouble in the hinterland of Liangzhou.
And from here to the east, there is the prosperous Sanfu land in the Central Plains. Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng are both here, and tightly wrapped in the middle is Chang'an, the old capital of the great man.
The previous kingdom was engulfed by the army all the way to the east, and along this road to the Chencang area, the gateway to Chang'an.
As we all know, Ma Teng and Han Sui's basic background is Qianghu and Jiehu, and they also have a large number of soldiers of the two races.From this point, it can be seen that the entire Liangzhou, like other border states and counties of the Han Dynasty, has a large number of ethnic minority forces living in it.
As the gateway of Liangzhou, on the one hand, Hanyang County has a large number of Hu people living in it. On the other hand, because of its proximity to the Central Plains, there are also many Han families who settled here.
Similar to the situation in Lujiang, Danyang and other places, the proportion of Hu people and Han people here is roughly equal. This seems to be a good thing, and there is no obvious oppression between the two.But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that no one will accept the situation on both sides. Once there is a chance, it will be small for the ruling class and the ordinary people below to stumbling each other. Even if the two sides break out Large-scale bloody conflicts are not uncommon.
It can be said that the current Hanyang is like a gunpowder keg, and it is the place with the worst stability in the entire Liangzhou and even the Western Regions.
Without the suppression of the series of macho men, here we can fight smoothly and maintain stability in peacetime, but once our own security and development are affected, we will easily fall into internal conflicts and mutual strife.
This is the reason why Zhou Yu chose this place as his destination after looking at the map for a long time after leaving Luoyang.
……
"Captain Zhou, we have been walking along this road for almost two days. I heard from the brothers from Liangzhou that we will probably be able to see the city wall of Ji County before the sun goes down tonight."
"The military order given by the general is for us to support General Huangfu and the others. We have been out for almost a month. According to the pace of the army, this road should have been reached long ago, but we are still wandering here. This is really true. May I?"
"If something goes wrong with General Huangfu, or if the battle is delayed, I'm afraid the general will blame him!"
Near the river channel on the north bank of the Weishui River, there was an army of thousands of people marching silently at this moment. It was the private army team that He Jin handed over to Zhou Yu.
In the middle of the team, Zhou Yu was riding a tall horse. While driving, he looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest, and from time to time pointed to the willow style in the distance.
Obviously, the greenery outside the Great Wall in spring and summer is somewhat incompatible with the desert education he received since he was a child.
And beside him, the adjutant He Jin temporarily assigned to him was looking at the young general with great concern.
……
It can't be said that he is a general. Although he leads the army independently, Zhou Yu has not yet received a specific military rank award, so this adjutant can only use the sloppy term of captain to address him.
Looking back at the tall military officer a little casually, Zhou Yu just smiled and shook his head, showing no sense of violating the military order.
"Well, I see."
"You don't have to worry about the matter with the general. I will explain it myself when the time comes. As for whether Huangfusong will sue, it depends on whether we can settle the matter this time."
"Don't think about these things. When we get to the place, you will naturally know my purpose. As for now, I am the chief officer of this army, you just need to listen."
Some casually responded to that person, Zhou Yu waved his hand, and then seemed to remember something, and asked the other person belatedly:
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. When we passed Chang'an, Chencang and other places, we should not have been noticed by those guys, right?"
Chapter 15 Tactical Guidance Sun Yifeng
"Reporting to the captain, please rest assured, the brothers are all paying attention."
"Let's not talk about those big cities in the past few days, and even the villages along the way have not passed through a few places. Our board and lodging are all settled in this wild, deep mountain and old forest."
"If it can still be discovered by others, then I have nothing to say. You can just treat me as incompetent and deal with it directly according to military law."
Gently shaking his head towards Zhou Yu, the adjutant responded to Zhou Yu's questions one by one, but there was still a hint of worry on his face that was visible to the naked eye.
In the end, he was still a little worried. This young general didn't know the basics, and he violated the military order as soon as he came up. If He Jin blamed him, let alone him, even his adjutant would not be able to bear it. walk.
Opening his mouth slightly and moving his lips, the adjutant walked forward for more than a thousand meters, and finally he couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Yu.
……
"Captain, why don't you tell us in detail. Anyway, you are free now, why don't you tell the lower official why we came to Hanyang, the lower official also has a bottom line in his heart!"
"You have led us to sprint for more than a month, and if we go any further, I am afraid that we will go out of Liangzhou and go straight to the border of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. That place is now the territory of the Hu people, and our Han army can't go there. !"
With a trace of obvious worry between his brows, the adjutant asked Zhou Yu very sincerely.
As for Zhou Yu, seeing that the adjutant was really uncomfortable, he recalculated the plan several times in his mind, and only after confirming that there were no mistakes, he glanced at the soldiers beside him, and then said:
"Okay, since you've said that, I'm still idle, and now I'm going to tell you about our future plans and why we took you deep into the enemy's rear."
"Don't blame me for being a secret. We haven't known each other for long. If I finish talking with you in the customs, no one can guarantee that you will directly reject my order and report to General He. What, this can be regarded as the most basic precaution, don't pay too much attention to it."
"Fortunately, we are almost at our destination now, so it's time to let you know about some plans."
After earning a lot of money with a pair of smart eyes, Zhou Yu simply waved and called a few senior generals in the army. Just like this, a few people held a small meeting in the army, picking a few simple places, roughly the same as those people. explained.
……
"First of all, all of you here are probably veterans of the military. I would like to make a statement to you here."
"That is, no matter what the means are, no matter what the process is, any war has its own purpose. As long as one's own purpose in this war is realized, it can be said to be an undoubted victory."
"What is our purpose? First of all, it is natural to prevent the other party from breaking through Chencang County, the last barrier in front of Chang'an, the old capital of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, we will try our best to wipe out all the rebels led by the entire kingdom, and let the bandit leaders come to justice. .”
"After knowing our purpose in this war, or in other words, the battle, and then considering the actual approach, we will be able to target the target and not be led by the nose by the other party."
Smilingly, he unfolded a roll of simple maps in front of everyone. Zhou Yu rode on his horse like this, riding the horse to follow the marching pace of the army, while showing his thoughts to the crowd, and sometimes gesticulating on the map with his hands. With two strokes, the superb equestrian skills immediately caught the eyes of those battle-tested generals, and their perception of Zhou Yu changed a lot.
But he himself didn't care about these things. You must know that the six arts of a gentleman are almost compulsory courses that a family member must learn, which is nothing for him to show off.Compared with his own riding skills, he hopes that these generals can be convinced by his vision and battlefield intuition.
……
"Here, look here, this is Chen Cang, and around this Chen Cang are nearly [-] rebels from that kingdom."
"From the intelligence of the scouts, we have [-] cavalry, and General Huangfu has [-] troops. It seems like a lot, but in fact, even if we join forces, it is only one-third of the thief. It can be said that in the frontal battlefield It’s full of disadvantages.”
"If it weren't for this, General Huangfu would not have defended the city gate for a year, just not giving the opponent a chance to fight head-on."
"To put it bluntly, if General Huangfu can win this battle without our help, then there is no need for us to help. If General Huangfu can't win, only 8000 of us, There is no point in going there, and there will be a battle that should be lost."
"Precisely because of this, what we need to consider now is not how to defeat the opponent on the front of the battlefield, but how to make the opponent retreat, at least not let this battle be fought on the stage prepared by the opponent."
He spoke loudly and loudly to those officers. Although most of them only half understood, Zhou Yu still spoke seriously.
This also allowed more and more generals to see the faint light and confidence in his eyes, and knew that this young man did not act arbitrarily, but was really prepared for this battle and his actions.
Afterwards, he coughed slightly twice, and then continued to speak to the crowd:
"Ahem... As for the method to make the opponent retreat quickly, it's very simple."
Stretching out his finger to point to the sky, Zhou Yu had a smile on his fair face.
"In fact, after learning about the general battle in Liangzhou that day, I always felt that even if we did nothing in this battle and just watched the excitement, those bandits would have no chance. General, he deliberately gave this military merit to me."
"It's not because of anything else. It's just that they have been besieging the city for a full year. The army's vigor and will have been wiped out long ago. In the case that we can't get supplies for long-term battles, even if we don't have anything Do it, in a few days, I'm afraid they will all retreat by themselves."
"It's just a pity that if they take the initiative to retreat, it will be very difficult for us to catch the bandit leaders like Wang Guo and others. When the time comes to give them a period of rest, they will inevitably make a comeback and disturb the peace of the big man. I said before Naturally, the war goal of the big Han side has not been achieved."
"That's why I'm bringing you to Hanyang County."
"This is not another place, but the hometown of the kingdom..."
With an unusually confident chuckle, he pointed to the gradually clear city wall in the distance, and Zhou Yu's eyes shone brightly.
Chapter No.16 Surrounding but not hitting
"Since General Huangfu has been on guard for such a long time, he wouldn't mind waiting another two months."
"On the contrary, if a surprise soldier like us appears near the opponent's hometown, it will be a big blow to the kingdom, and even to the morale of the soldiers of the entire bandit army."
"His kingdom can recruit [-] troops from the small Liangzhou, so Liangzhou's own internal defense must be extremely empty, not to mention that it will be broken in a barrel, and it will not be much worse."
"As long as we capture this place, or even pretend to capture Hanyang County, when the time comes when Wang Guo and others get the news, they will definitely come out to help Hanyang."
"This time, we are equivalent to giving the opponent a chance to withdraw troops, so that he can give the order to retreat openly, without having to waste time in Chen Cang and General Huangfu."
"And if he retreats, it's hard to say whether something bad will happen to the [-]-strong army traveling thousands of miles..."
Hehe smiled and patted the roll of map in his hand. Zhou Yu's move can be said to be a very classic 41-point push and pull, forcing the opponent's lineup like an iron barrel to move.
Only when the opponent moves, can he have a chance to find the opponent's flaws, and this is the basis for winning more with less.
After all, if you want to say that 10 people and 2 people are hedging against each other on the Great Plains, let alone Zhou Yu or Huangfusong, even if the God of War was resurrected in vain, it is probably the fate of being washed away.
He briefly told everyone about his plan, not to mention what those who understood Zhou Yu thought, but those who had heard the general idea in a daze, all because of the confidence in Zhou Yu's words, Began to be willing to believe what he did.
After all, according to what Zhou Yu said, then their soldiers will play a very important role in the process of suppressing the kingdom in the future.
It doesn't matter if I participated in a lost battle, after all, I played a major role in a lost war. It doesn't sound good to say it, and those who don't know think it's Ming Shenzong's rebirth or something.
But what if this is a big victory?
Twenty-eight thousand against the enemy one hundred thousand, killing the opponent to pieces and at the same time playing a major role, this almost put the two big characters of credit on the top of everyone's foreheads, and also made these generals accept Zhou Yu In other words, I am willing to follow Zhou Yu to try this once.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu let out a sigh of relief.
After what I said, even if some generals don't understand why I led people to copy those people's backs, at the very least, no one should deliberately make trouble for me.
