"Well, Zhao Yun, you don't talk about martial ethics!" Cao Zhen looked at the headless corpses on the ground and the soldiers who had not slept all night. He was horrified and immediately asked Guo Huai, "How many men and horses did we kill last night? How much?"
"Grand Governor, it looks like two...two or three thousand." Guo Huai saw Cao Zhen being so angry for the first time, and he didn't dare to say that there were actually more than 3,500 people lost in one night.
"I thought Zhao Yun was a hero, but I didn't expect that he would use such conspiracy and tricks. I have to kill this grandson!" Cao Zhen was furious. He wanted to immediately attack the city with a large number of troops, but a one-night raid actually cost him nearly one-tenth of his troops. He was a little worried, not knowing when there would be another wave of raids.
Zhao Yun's side, on the other hand, was much more calm. Last night, they made a surprise attack with 700 men and lost 15 of them. The sound of horseshoe bells and whistles at night made the Wei army unaware of how many people were attacking, and it also greatly damaged the morale of the Wei army.
"General Zhao, Cao's army has retreated five miles!" a soldier at the top of the city reported.
Zhao Yun laughed, "I didn't expect that Cao Zhen would still be afraid." All the soldiers burst into laughter.
"General Zhao, we can fight now!" Li Xian suddenly said seriously.
"Why, our army raided all night and was resting, why did we fight again?" Zhao Yun asked.
"General Zhao! I can't explain it. The fighter plane is right in front of me. General Zhao can send one hundred cavalry to attack again. I will replace General Zhao with one hundred cavalry. Then I will order Gongtun Commander to replace me with one hundred cavalry. This round of battle will last for a long time. In the future, I will definitely be able to defeat him for a while!" Li Xian said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Zhao Yun immediately ordered a hundred cavalry, mounted their spears, and rushed away with a loud shout to kill. Li Xian did not wait for a moment and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the camp. However, he waited on the city and saw that General Zhao Yun was unstoppable. The cavalry rushed into the formation and were truly invincible. However, seeing that the Wei army was about to encircle them, they immediately withdrew. Then he saw Li Xian's troops and horses coming forward in rotation, and said that Li Xian's stick wound had not completely healed, and he was in some pain, but he could still bear it. With hundreds of cavalry surrounding him in the center, he calmly rushed to kill.
Facing the Wei army that had not yet formed an encirclement, they made another sudden attack from the outside. Unexpectedly, just as they were preparing to encircle them, Li Xian's troops withdrew back. Immediately above the city gate, Gong Jie led another group. The killer will come out.
"What the hell kind of strategy is this? Is it going to end?" Cao Zhen yelled. In order to facilitate the attack on the city, he ordered the infantry in advance. Not only was it impossible to surround the cavalry on the opposite side, the most important thing was that these infantry were basically all gone last night. have not slept! In such a battle of wheels, we will definitely suffer heavy losses again.
Cao Zhen looked at it from a distance, and became more and more irritable. He wanted to immediately surround these groups of people. The key is that these groups are like mosquitoes on the body. If you go to fight them, they will run away. The key is that you can't catch up. Not ordinary anger.
In the afternoon, all the soldiers carried their gains back to the pass with smiles on their faces. Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I have killed more than a thousand of his people today. I have never heard of this kind of tactics in the past. Cao Zhen must have jumped in anger. "
The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious. Even Li Xian's headquarters had achieved hundred-level achievements. Zhao Yun said: "Everyone, I want to promote Han Xing to be our military camp general. When we have troops in the future, I will give him a front-destroying camp. You What do you think?"
All the soldiers were naturally convinced. After all, it was not too much to be directly promoted to captain.
"What should we do after today?" Zhao Yun asked Li Xiandao.
"The general thought that there was no other way. Cao Zhen should be waiting for someone, and we are waiting for someone too." Li Xian said.
Zhao Yun nodded slightly: "He should be waiting for Yong Mengda's troops. It depends on whether our envoy comes back first or Meng Da's troops arrive first."
Li Xian nodded. It was true that he couldn't explain it clearly. In fact, Meng Da didn't know how to send troops, and he wouldn't understand the specific details even if he explained them to these big bosses. In short, the whole of Yizhou is a chaotic interest group. First there are local scholars in Yizhou, then there are scholars sent by Dongzhou, and then there are scholars sent by Jingzhou. If Mengda does not send troops, he is not a simple Li Because of Yan Shuxin.
Cao Zhen's army stayed at Yangping Pass for ten days, and when they could not see Meng Da's troops, they retreated in a hurry. It is said that on the day of retreat, he almost cursed Zhao Yun's family.
Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang held the report in hand and looked happy. He turned back to the person behind him and said, "Youchang, General Zhao fought beautifully in this battle. What do you think?"
"The students believe that this Yangping Pass is not only a victory, but also a great victory. It should be announced to the world and boost the morale of our army." Ma Su replied.
"Yes, what else? What do you think of Li Hanxing's use of troops?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"Use your troops smartly and adapt to local conditions. If the students were here, they would not be able to fight so beautifully." Ma Su answered with cupped hands.
"There are not many people who can convince you, You Chang. Let me tell you, You Chang, you only know one thing but not the other." Zhuge Liang replied slowly.
"The way to use soldiers is the way to be a human being. In this battle, Cao Zhen's defeat was due to his temperament. Almost every step he took, he fell into a trap that was just designed. He was in the middle of the situation and did not know what his temperament was. Natural military skills, for example, the two generals Guan and Zhang invaded and plundered like fire, but they were defeated by temperament. You must remember that being willful is a taboo for military strategists!" Zhuge Liang turned around and said slowly.
"I sincerely follow the instructions of the Prime Minister." Ma Su replied.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "Then give General Zhao a favor. After all, they are all close ministers of the auxiliary government. Li Xian will be promoted to the rank of captain, and those with military merit in his department will be promoted to the third level. Go to the Shangshutai and look for it. Guo Youzhi’s opinion.”
"Yes!" Ma Su accepted the order and went to the Chancellor's Desk.
Let us also say that Cao Zhen from Yangping Pass retreated in frustration because he could not wait for the superior Meng Da to send troops. Zhao Yun also received the general's order at this time, leaving Zhang Ning to lead his army to garrison Yangping Pass, while he led a hundred cavalry to Chengdu to resume his duties.
Three days later, in Chengdu.
"According to the order of the Prime Minister, General Li Xian blocked the enemy at Yangping Pass, stopping the enemy from moving forward and defeating his troops. Terbium was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the army and commanded an army of two thousand. He was rewarded as before."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness." Li Xian thanked him with his hands in hand.
After Li Xian came back from Yangping Pass, he heard that he was going to be promoted to school captain. He was so happy that he went back to tell his cousin and parents about it.
Zhao Yun was also very generous and invested in the purchase of a villa in the west of Chengdu for Li Xian and his family to live. However, Li Xian's father did not seem to be so adaptable. After all, he worked in the fields all year round, and where could he endure such a kind of situation? Living in the city, I feel suffocated, and from time to time I have to look at my two and a half acres of thin farmland.
Because this villa is in the city, it is naturally closer to the Zhao Mansion. From the beginning, Li Xian looked like a warrior, but gradually began to improve. He knew that some muscles began to appear in his arms. If he persists for a year, he will have to learn not only archery but also spearmanship.
Even so, after persisting for more than a year, Li Xian's father gradually got used to the habits in the city, and he could occasionally talk about calligraphy and poetry with his neighbors in the morning.
"It's strange. I have never read a few books in my life. They insist that you wrote Xiongguan Mandao is like iron. It was me who taught you. They want me to go to a poetry meeting with those old men tomorrow and kill me. , How can I know that?" Li Xian's father, who spoke with a Jingzhou accent, complained at home. But it made the family laugh.
"Old birthday boy, it's your birthday today, so we won't embarrass you. Your son will come back from duty later and ask him to write a song for you!" Several elderly people in the hall looked like scholars. , it should be the friend that Li Xian's father has made in the past few days, and he is quite like a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
"That's for sure. That kid of mine is very smart. Don't look at how careless he is at ordinary times, but he is never vague at critical times." The old man pinched his beard and said with a smile.
Not long after, Li Xian came back from duty and saw a table of wine and food. He knew that it was his mother who cooked the food. He had always been reluctant to hire servants, so he had to do such things himself. He felt heartbroken at the moment and had nothing to say. Then he cupped his hands and said, "My nephew, I pay my respects to all my uncles!"
"Mr. Li, what a Qilin!" said the old man in the hall.
"My old husband was joking, this is Quanzi." The man in the hall spoke, it was Li Xian's father, Li Jun.
The old man continued: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Li is both civilized and military. Today is your birthday. Can you write a poem to help your elegance?"
"Yes, yes! Mr. Li, why don't you sing a song?" Everyone booed.
Li Xian could only hold up his hands and said: "Uncles, I just came back from duty. Can you please allow me some food and wine to join in the fun with you?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, please sit down quickly."
After Li Xian sat down, he drank some wine and said, "Dad, it's your birthday today, and I'm here to wish you a happy birthday!"
Li Jun pinched his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, good, good, good, do you have any poems?"
"That's natural, uncles, that nephew has made a fool of himself."
Everyone clapped their hands together and was quiet for a while, waiting for Li Xian's poem.
"The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and blows down stars like rain, and the fragrance of BMWs and carriages fills the road." Li Xian slowly chanted, and then continued with the cup in his hand, "The sound of the phoenix flute, the sound of the jade pot The light turns, and fish and dragons dance all night long.”
"Okay! What a lively scene!" After hearing this, everyone went up to the queue and clapped their hands in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian took his time and slowly uttered the next sentence: "The moth is like a golden wisp of snow and willow. His laughter is full of secret fragrance. The crowd has searched for him thousands of times, and then he looks back~" Li Xian deliberately lengthened the syllables, and everyone was watching After waiting for the last sentence, Li Xian slowly said, "That person is in the dim light."
"The young master is so talented in poetry, it is really rare in this world." Everyone said in unison.
"We originally thought that Wei Wu had reached the peak of his whip, but what we see today is that the young master's poetic talent is no less than that of Cao Zijian back then."
Li Jun was overjoyed: "You guys are too flattering. The weight of your dog is still worth some points."
"Brother Jun, don't bully honest people. This article at today's banquet will be famous in history." The man said, "Today I also ask the young master for a pair of calligraphy treasures to keep for future use."
"Go, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Li Jun looked at Li Xian and said.
Li Xian took it for himself, and under the sincere eyes of everyone, he wrote the poem "Qingyu Case, Yuan Xi".
"Young Master, who does this calligraphy master belong to? Why are you so noble?" the uncles asked curiously.
Li Xian faltered for a while and then made up a bunch of lies: "This was taught by a Mr. Zhao in his early years, and he was named Shoujin Ti." How did they know that Li Xian relied solely on the later generations who had practiced calligraphy for several years? , but it was purely for my own entertainment, and I learned from Song Huizong Zhao Ji's thin gold body training.
"My nephew can only practice similar forms, but he is not as spirited as Mr." Li Xian replied hurriedly.
"Similar in appearance? If the teacher you are talking about is more expressive than you, he can start a sect, and the charm of such calligraphy must be a prosperous and powerful person, which is extremely valuable." The old gentleman said .
Then the old man became suspicious and then became relieved: "You are trying to gain a reputation for General Zhao! If General Zhao really has such calligraphy passed down to future generations, he will really leave his name in history."
….
At the residence of General Zhao.
"Ah, that's right." Zhao Yun sneezed, "Who is scolding me?"
"The general is the minister of Fu Bi. How can anyone dare to attack at will." The servant replied, "Now it has been spread in Chengdu that you are a master of calligraphy."
"What?" Zhao Yun was stunned.
