Chapter Thirty-ninth Sun Tzu's Art of War, Breaking into Western Liaoning
When everyone once again staggered around after drinking, lying on the ground in a mess, not everyone was like this this time. Whether it was Pei Yuanshao or Zhou Cang; Fang Ming, Chao Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and other generals no longer
They were drunk. They took their cronies and moved everyone into the tent and covered them up before looking at each other and smiling.
Chen Yong looked at their changes and was filled with emotion. This is the cohesion of an army! Only when the generals and colonels treat the soldiers as relatives and friends, will this team be more effective! And now his army is in the process of
Slowly getting better, becoming more and more united, and becoming more and more motivated! Everyone has a goal to strive for, and is no longer decadent!
Chen Yong knew that his ability to lead troops was not enough to fight this battle well, because this battle was related to the life and death of the soldiers who followed him. Care would lead to chaos, and Chen Yong did not want everyone to suffer heavy casualties at this time. Therefore.
He was waiting. When his mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, finished teaching Chen Yiran and the little girl went to rest in the tent alone, he walked into his mentor's tent and knelt down in front of his mentor.
When Zuo Ci saw Chen Yong come in, he knew what he was doing. Zuo Ci was not moved at all and began to sit cross-legged in the tent. Zuo Ci meditated, often for one night, and Chen Yong just fell to his knees.
In front of my mentor, I knelt down until midnight.
Taoist Zuo Ci woke up at this time. He looked at Chen Yong who had been kneeling and said: "Disciple, I know why you are here, but I can help you for a while, but I can't help you for the rest of your life.
Come on, for the sake of your sincere prayer, starting tomorrow, I will take your generals to study "The Art of War".
As for how well they can learn, it all depends on their nature. I will help you again during this trip to western Liaoning. But after this trip, I will leave here. At that time, it will depend on how you lead.
These soldiers, in the land of Youzhou, have to deal with the entanglement between the various forces."
Chen Yong said: "Thank you so much, master! I just can't bear to see these soldiers die in front of me one by one! It's good to be able to help them for a while, even if they all see the happy life, and if someone leaves,
It would be much better than dying on the road of struggle now! My disciple is too selfish and puts his mentor in a difficult position."
Taoist Zuo Ci smiled and said: "'Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs.
Between the heaven and the earth, it is like a plow. It is empty and unyielding, and it becomes more and more active when it moves.'
When you truly understand this truth, you won't be as confused as you are now. Everything in the world has its destiny! I can help them for a while, but I can't help them for a lifetime! Everyone has their time of birth, old age, illness and death. The end is coming, and it's all a gift from God.
The arrangement is beyond human control..."
Chen Yong knelt down to his mentor again and kowtowed to him to thank him. When he looked up again, he saw that his mentor was sitting cross-legged and meditating again, so he got up and left. His goal was achieved. These generals had the opportunity to hear the teachings of their mentor. It was their good fortune. No.
I wonder if they will be different after studying "Sun Tzu's Art of War". This is no longer within the scope of my control. Just do your best and listen to fate...
Early the next morning, after the fifth watch, everyone woke up and started cooking pots. When the army had breakfast, the sky slowly began to light up. When the army was covered with stars and moon, they began to set up camp and prepare to march towards western Liaoning.
At this moment, a group of troops emerged from Jicheng, led by Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. His 500 elite cavalry pioneers led the way towards western Liaoning. Chen Yong's army followed closely behind, with a huge force.
Together they marched toward the north.
Every night after that, after Taoist Zuo Ci finished teaching Chen Yiran, he would lecture the generals on "The Art of War" for half an hour. However, this teaching depends on everyone's talent. In this teaching, Chen Yong
, learned a lot of military knowledge. However, only three people persisted in Zuo Ci’s tutorial on the art of war.
Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, including Chao Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others only persisted for five days before losing interest. They really couldn't learn, and they could still understand it at first, but they didn't know it.
Therefore, later on, he was even more like playing the harp to a cow. In addition to Chen Yong, Liu Xing and Fang Ming were the ones who persisted. In Liu Xing's words, even if he didn't understand, he still had to sit here with the young master.
Chen Yong was a little bit dumbfounded, but he had to let him do it.
There is another person who has really learned something, and it is Fang Ming, who is meticulous and cautious. Before joining the Yellow Turban Army, Fang Ming also read for several years. Coupled with the years of hard work, he knows his skills better.
Insufficient. Therefore, he is more willing to learn and improve his abilities. He knows that if he wants to get ahead, his talent alone will always be exhausted, so he has been studying hard.
This time during the teaching of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Fang Ming seemed to have had a window opened, and he was enlightened and enlightened. It can be said that apart from Chen Yong, Fang Ming was the one favored by God. Chen Yong's suggestion, Chen Yiran
The "Art of War" I found has finally achieved something. Even if God gives you an opportunity, you need someone who is prepared to seize it.
The weather is getting colder and colder as we go north. The snow here is getting thicker and thicker. The roads have been trampled by horses and people and have long turned into solid ice. The weather has already been so cold before we reach western Liaoning. So six months ago,
What about Gongsun Zan's army that has been trapped in Guanzi City? How will they survive this cold winter?
Zhang Fei, the vanguard officer who was clearing the way ahead, also had to slow down. They tried their best to create the necessary conditions for those who came after. There was heavy snow in the sky and the roads were full of ice. Zhang Fei, who led the vanguard battalion, was now also
There was nothing that could be done. Fortunately, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, gave everyone warm clothes and shoes with added materials to keep out the cold. Even so, the army's march was slowed down a lot.
Every night, it is not easy for everyone to find firewood. Now they start to find trees on the road, and they start cutting down wood and dragging it forward, just to have a fire to keep warm when they rest at night. It is really getting more and more difficult to go north, Chen Yiran is like this
This is the first time I have seen such heavy snow, and I liked it very much at first. But day by day, all I see is a silvery white world, and no one likes it anymore.
People eat what horses feed, and along the way, supplies are consumed faster and faster. There is no way, it is freezing, so you have to eat enough to have the strength to go on the road. I finally arrived in western Liaoning, but next to this avenue,
But there is a large camp! It turns out that Qiu Liju specially arranged an army of 8,000 people to station here because of the weather change, just to prevent anyone from going to Guanzi City to rescue Gongsun Zan.
Qiu Liju trapped Gongsun Zan, using this as a bargaining chip, hoping to get greater benefits from Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. If he had tried to capture Gongsun Zan, his three thousand cavalry would have been defeated by Qiu Liju's army.
They were defeated. It was a siege at first, and they were worried that Gongsun Zan would risk his life to break out. After blocking several breakthroughs, Gongsun Zan already knew that there was no hope of breaking out, so he could only stick to Guanzi City and wait for reinforcements.
But after three months, Gongsun Zan had run out of ammunition and food. With no other choice, the soldiers began to eat horse meat. One by one, the horses were eaten by the army. But it was still early for reinforcements to arrive. Is there anything left for everyone?
What can be done? During this period, Gongsun Zan will send troops to break out from time to time, and the army will fight with Qiu Liju's cavalry. No matter how many people are killed or injured in the end, Gongsun Zan will come back with men and horses. And Qiu Liju's army will also
I will acquiesce and watch them do this from a distance.
With this consumption day after day, Gongsun Zan now has less than a thousand men. These are his direct troops, who have fought bloody battles with him for many years, including the horses, corpses, and the army after each final battle.
Don't eat them all! When a person is extremely hungry, there is not much he can do to survive.
It's snowing heavily that day, and Gongsun Zan is even more sad. Who else will come to rescue him at this time? Is it possible that his army will really be exhausted in this Guanzi city? If he really fights in the end, only
There are dozens of people, even if they lead their own troops to escape, what's the point? If you want to raise an army, you need to have direct descendants! And among the remaining troops, Gongsun Zan will be very distressed even if any one of them dies.
But with the weather like this, where are his reinforcements? The reinforcements Gongsun Zan was talking about were trapped outside Liaoxi. The guard Su Lie was the most powerful general in Qiu Liju's Wuhuan army!
He was also very good at riding and shooting. He once defeated Gongsun Zan and broke through the siege three times with his own strength! Gongsun Zan was so killed that he no longer dared to take the lead and fought bloody battles.
Su Lie's cavalry was even more brave, fighting the enemy to the death! He killed the enemy with such vigor that he feared death and fled, so Su Lie was called the number one general under Lord Qiu Liju! Zhang Fei, the pioneer officer, had just arrived.
When they arrived in western Liaoning, they were targeted by Su Lie. He didn't even give Zhang Fei a chance, so he led two thousand cavalry to attack Zhang Fei's cavalry.
No matter how brave Zhang Fei is, he can't stop Su Lie's cavalry! His 500 men were defeated by Su Lie's cavalry, and Zhang Fei escaped with only dozens of cavalry. After hearing this, Chen Yong did not dare to advance, and waited.
They gathered together with Liu Bei's army to discuss countermeasures. Two days later, Liu Xuande arrived with 3,000 elite troops. Everyone set up camp together and began to discuss how to quickly rush through Su Lie's army.
Finally, Liu Xuande decided to lead three thousand troops and two generals, Guan and Zhang, to meet the enemy Su Lie. Chen Yong led his troops to break through and bypass Su Lie's camp. Only in this way could he rush as quickly as possible
Go to Guanzi City and rescue Gongsun Zan! Liu Xuande leads his troops to meet the enemy, while Chen Yong leads an army to support him.
When Su Lie saw Liu Xuande leading 3,000 troops to attack the enemy, he was furious! Su Lie led his army out in full force just to give Liu Xuande a blow. When the two armies of Su Lie and Liu Bei faced off
, Chen Yong led the army from the flank and rushed over. Su Lie was very embarrassed, but he knew better that he could not act rashly.
Su Lie did not dare to divide his troops to snipe Chen Yong, so he took his personal followers to meet the three Liu Xuande brothers. He waved the command flag in his hand, and the three thousand cavalry charged again! At this time, Chen Yong also rushed in.
