Chapter 640 The Wudang Flying Army Killing the Quartet
Going back five or six days ago, the Wulingman and Kunming Yishan soldiers, who had a total of 12,000 people, had already penetrated from Jiangxia County into the Dabie Mountains in advance. Taking advantage of the cool and rainy days of the last few days of the plum rain season, they crossed most of the mountainous areas and lurked to the edge of the mountainous areas near the Yuzhou and Lujiang County, waiting for the fighter to wait for the opportunity.
They had to adapt to the situation and choose the opportunity to fight, but long before they set out, Li Sikong had taken care of them and the criteria for how to judge whether the fighter jet is worth grasping.
Li Su said that it would not take long before he could deceive Zhou Yu. Yu Jin misled Cao Ren to withdraw most of the defense forces of the Huainan defenders along the Dabie Mountains to fill the riverside defense line on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Even if Zhou Yu and Yu Jin’s misleading are not powerful enough, Li Su has other means to ensure the realization of this!
Because Li Su could also use Gan Ning as a thief in Jiangbei, and log in to another place without a city every day to rob people, sweep away the people, and rob Cao Ren and Li Dian, who was so crazy that he was about to explode, and he had to concentrate all the reserve forces of other not-so-urgent defense lines on the Jiang defense lines!
Yu Jin couldn't persuade him in the front, so he used Gan Ning to kick him again, so that Cao Ren, the stubborn donkey, could move forward! He pushed and pulled hard at the same time!
The key signal of Li Su's care for Shamoke and Meng Xin before the war was to ask them to send scouts to cross mountains and ridges, sneak to the Dabie Mountains, and even the counties in the mountainous areas to observe in advance whether the defenders were mobilized and whether there were empty troops.
As long as the defenders are empty, it is time for Shamoko and others to decide to attack on their own! Li Su only cares about them:
All the counties and towns in the mountains of Dabie Mountains will be occupied for a long time after the battle is taken down, so it is absolutely not allowed to plunder and harm the people. However, if the materials seized by the Cao army and the treasury money and grain left by Cao Cao's officials can be used as a reward for the siege troops!
As for the east of the Dabie Mountains, Yanshan County, which is out of the mountainous area, it will definitely retreat after Cao Cao's army arrives and will definitely not be able to defend it for a long time. So Shamoke and Meng Xin want to rob it and rob it. But no indiscriminate killing of innocent people is allowed.
Li Su also knew that when commanding those barbarian soldiers to fight, the military discipline must not be comparable to that of the Han royal army, and robbery cannot be eliminated.
What's more, if Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army came to do this, it would be a better situation after all, after all, the elite soldiers who had been properly disciplined for many years. Shamoke and Meng Xin brought this time, all Li Su was temporarily recruited from the Southern Barbarians. There was no military discipline constraints before, so he had to use it like this.
On May 28th, the scouts sent by Shamoke came to report early in the morning, saying that they had discovered that the two nearby Dabie Mountain counties such as Anfeng and Zhenglou had almost been aired by Cao Ren.
(Note: These two counties are approximately the southern part of Jinzhai County in Lu'an, Anhui Province, and in modern history, it was also a guerrilla base in the Dabie Mountains, so the road was very difficult to walk. After the Yellow Turban Army in Runan was basically wiped out by Yuan Shu, the remaining troops fled south to the Dabie Mountains and continued to occupy it. After Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shu, he did not fully establish an official rule within half a year, but only took several county towns)
Shamoke's scout secretly captured a prisoner and tortured their movements. It was indeed sent by Cao Ren to support Li Dian to fill the Jiangbei defense line.
I have to say that Shamoko's people are really not good at doing things. If they are not clean when they are alone, they will not be able to catch all the troops and leak the news. As a result, they notify the defenders who have just left to return to defense, the matter will be messed up today.
However, barbarian soldiers naturally have their own way of fighting. They will use their ruthlessness to make up for the loopholes left by their brains and make do with it. It is better to be too demanding.
After finding out the enemy's situation, Shamoke discussed with Meng Xin: "Brother Meng, we are one of them, which is the opportunity for my scout to discover. I want to be richer Anfeng County, and Zhenglou County will be given to you."
Meng Xin was a little unwilling to give up, but his scout was not good enough and he didn't get the first-hand news. He also accepted the gambling and accepted it.
Anyway, it's not completely useless. If Cao Ren eats the food in the Yin Dynasty and transfers the defenders, he will never really not keep a single soldier, right? The richer the county, the more powerful the defense will definitely be relatively strong.
After comforting himself like this, Meng Xin accepted the assignment.
"Everyone is under the banner of Wang Ping Wang's Captain! If you encounter an enemy, you will rush forward! No matter when, we are all Wudang Feijun, mainly Banyan Man! Kill!"
Shamoke and Meng Xin's troops split into two groups, and they all raised Wang Ping's military flag and rushed down from the Dabie Mountains.
...
At the same time, there were not many defenders in Anfeng County, and there was only one security force with a county lieutenant. Even the constables were counted, with no more than five hundred people.
The officials in the city were still there, and the one with the greatest official position was Li Tong, the prefect sent by Cao Cao to appease the prefect of the mountainous counties south of Runan.
According to the previous "Honggou Agreement" between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, most of the spoils should be Yuan Shao's after Runan County was restored.
However, the specific boundary demarcations drawn by Cao Yuan at that time were Honggou-Yingchuan-Huaihe River, and Runan County crossed the two sides of the Huaihe River. Later, Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shu and actually obtained these territories, Yuan Shao admitted it and admitted that the Huainan part of Runan County was indeed Cao Cao.
Cao Cao could no longer use the name of Runan County, so he took the counties of Runan in the Dabie Mountains of Huainan and temporarily split up and established a new county. He chose the name of Anfeng County, the largest county among these counties, and was called Anfeng County (there are only four counties in the whole county, and they are still in the mountains).
One of his generals, Li Tong, a native of Jiangxia, was the prefect and comforted the place.
Li Tong was originally a local tyrant in the Dabie Mountains at the junction of Jiangxia County and Runan County. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the tyrants in the counties at the junction of Jiangxia and Runan County were dangerously easy to defend and difficult to attack because of their own sphere of influence, and they all established themselves in the county, similar to the King of Dingshan.
Li Tong and a man named Chen Gong joined forces, which started in Langling, the county town on Runan side. Later, he defeated some invading Runan Yellow Turban Army Qus. Historically, he was separatist until the first year of Jian'an. After Cao Cao gained power, he cleaned his identity by surrendering to Cao.
In this life, although Cao Cao has not gained the opportunity to obey the emperor and order his ministers, because Yuan Shu's territory in this area was indeed pacified by Cao Cao, Li Tong still surrendered to Cao, but the time was a little later than the same period in history.
Cao Cao took a fancy to him as a local, had some prestige, and defeated Liu Pi, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan who tried to penetrate into the Dabie Mountains. He felt that he could control the place with this person, so he made him the prefect of this mountain county, which was a successful whitewash.
Li Tong had been in Cao for less than a year and was eager to make meritorious service to prove himself. So when Cao Ren came to Anfeng to dispatch troops to support Li Dian, Li Tong cooperated very well and sent a considerable number of his direct troops and powerful armed forces to support him.
Of course, warlords like Li Tong who are powerful and powerful would never be so stupid as to hand over the gun.
Even if he supported Li Dian, he would send his younger brother to support him in an organized manner with his family's powerful armed forces. His family would retain the command of the troops.
Li Tong cooperated to this level, but it is not an exaggeration at all, because he is such a person who is obsessed with officials. In history, in the first year of his enrollment in Cao Cao, his father-in-law's brother (that is, his wife's uncle) was sentenced to death by Zhao Yan, the magistrate of Langling County appointed by Cao Cao for breaking the law. (Now Zhao Yan has participated in the Bingong imperial examination in Xiangyang and will not come to enroll in Cao)
Li Tong's wife asked Li Tong to take advantage of his position higher than Zhao Yan to put pressure on his uncle to save his life. But Li Tong said: I have just joined Cao, and I want to show that I am absolutely loyal to Cao Gong. This time I think it was Cao Gong's test for me. Then she watched Zhao Yan kill his wife's uncle.
Such a guy who was eager to show his loyalty to Cao, Cao Ren asked him to send troops to support Li Dian, how could he not obey?
As a result, early this morning, just when Li Tong was still in a daze and was about to get up to clean up his office, the county officials outside the door suddenly ran in panic, crying and responded in panic: "Mr. Mansion! Is it bad! Is Liu Bei's troops coming from the southeast?"
Li Tong was in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and jumped up from the bed. He almost shook his blood pressure because of his too anxious to get up, so he couldn't stand steadily. He grabbed the wooden railing on the head of the bed and tried to interrogate him urgently:
"From the southeast? Isn't that deep in the Dabie Mountains? How is that possible! Since ancient times, Anfeng only had troops from Runan and Huaihe River from the north!"
The county officials sighed: "It was under the banner of Wang Ping, and it seemed to be Liu Bei's famous Wudang Flying Army. He was born in Banyan, Brazil, and crossed mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground! There were seven or eight thousand or tens of thousands of people, and he had already rushed to the city gate. He was carrying a flying ladder and was about to attack the city from all directions!"
Li Tong's eyes turned dark: "Wang Ping? How do I remember the imperial court sent a report, listing the Guan Yu army that was stalemate with the imperial court in Hebei. Didn't Wang Ping fight with General Zhang Liao in Taihang Mountain?"
County officials: "We don't know either! How do we deal with the matter now? Master, how do we... want to organize the soldiers to defend the enemy?"
The county officials were still timid and did not dare to ask Li Tong directly whether he could surrender. As Li Tong's confidants, they knew very well that Li Tong was thinking about how to prove that he was loyal to Cao Cao every day. If he surrendered casually, he might be chopped down by the Duke.
So, I had to ask more tactfully.
Li Tong returned to his righteous state and said sternly: "Even if the enemy soldiers are large and powerful, so what if we are loyal to the country! We are loyal to the country's bloody battle! We were originally just a powerful man, and we were not much better than Liu Pi and Gong Du. Cao Gong did not care about his background, and he treated the powerful men who defended the fortress. Hurry up and put on our arms and follow me to the city to kill the enemy!"
The county officials felt like they fell into an ice cave, thinking to me: If you want to die, you will send me it yourself! We won’t accompany you to die! Anyway, I have been following Cao Cao for only four months, so it’s no big deal to change to Liu Bei! Just rush to the front of you in a while!
Even the county officials around Li Tong were willing to work but not work hard. Only the powerful and powerful soldiers of his family were brave and willing to fight to the end with Li Tong.
In just half a quarter of an hour, Shamoko led more than 6,000 soldiers to surround Anfeng and attacked the four gates together.
The city gate that Li Tong guarded himself did have good defense, but unfortunately, at the other three city gates, a city guard officer soon chose to negotiate conditions and open the door and let people in, and fought for the treatment of an uprising in front of the battlefield.
Li Tong personally killed seven or eight Wuling barbarians who were sieging the city. The Ding tribes around him fought to the death. Unfortunately, the Wuling barbarians had been pouring into the city continuously.
After Li Tong was stunned and injured the prisoner, he tied up and brought him to Shamoke, poured cold water on him and tried to question him.
Shamoke had just started to persuade the surrender and said a few words. Li Tong's eyes widened and said angrily: "Don't think you can deceive me! I am also from Jingzhou! My ancestral home is Jiangxia County! You are the accent of Wulingman, and your appearance is not right! You are not from Yizhou! You are pretending to be Wang Ping! Don't want to deceive my master!"
Shamoke was slightly surprised: You know, wouldn’t it be better if you know secretly? You dare to say this when I am the slaughter and you are the fish? Has Li Tong been so brave?
Since you are so brave and have no intention of repentance, there is nothing to say.
Shamoko nodded: "He knows too much."
The barbarians next to him cut off Li Tong's head with one knife. Wuling Man just went straightforward in the war. Anyway, Li Su didn't take special care of anyone who could not kill them.
In order to keep it confidential, this is the first priority. Anyone who sees that they are not Wang Ping's troops are unwilling to cooperate, and they will die for the sake of the overall situation and prevent leaks!
