Chapter 295: Old Lady Tong's Dismissal
Chapter 295 Old Tong’s power
The two generals fought jingle-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang for more than ten rounds. Du Fu's snake spear was so unpredictable that the three generals Shen An, Lu Yuan, and Wang Ji saw that the main general was in trouble, and immediately stepped forward to attack. Du Fu did not rush, and pointed his tongue at the enemy. Holding on the upper teeth, Dantian mentioned the Hunyuan Qi, "Hey!" He shouted loudly.
This drink was like thunder, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz. Several thieves trembled, especially Lu Yuan Minggui. His face was facing Du Bu's big mouth, and a stream of air hit them in the face. Come, he was so shocked that he narrowed his eyes. Du Bo took advantage of the situation and stabbed out the snake spear, and the man's narrowed eyes could no longer be opened.
An Shirong and others were greatly shocked, wondering why such a fierce general had not been seen fighting before?
Du Bo didn't care what they thought. He danced with the spear in his hand, like a nest of poisonous dragons rushing out of the hole, and stabbed at the three generals. Wang Ji dismounted from his horse.
The remaining two lost all their courage, and with the help of many soldiers and horses, they all retreated to their own formations, shouting: "Surround him and kill him, surround him and kill him."
How could Du Bo be willing to let him walk so easily? He rushed into the enemy's formation with his horse and smashed his snake spears across the enemy's line. Those thieves fell to the ground row by row. Who dared to step forward and die?
Regardless of the lives of their men, An Shirong and Shen An abandoned their troops and fled. The two rushed a few steps, but before they could see the direction clearly, another cavalry force suddenly rushed towards them, led by a pair of generals, none other than Yuan Lang. Zhu Jing.
Yuan Lang laughed loudly and said: "This Lao Du actually gave me a share of the credit?" He raised his hand and smashed Shen An to death.
Poor An Shirong was still in shock, and he was so threatened. How could he still have the slightest fighting spirit? He barely raised his weapon, but Yuan Lang broke his Panlong stick, and Zhu Jing then split half of his body with an axe.
When Du Bo broke out of the siege, he saw two corpses and couldn't help but said angrily: "There are thieves all over the place, how can they steal my credit?"
Yuan Lang said with a smile: "It's just that General Xiong Wei was cowardly. He withdrew his troops after fighting for a few rounds. Yuan was fighting all the way and happened to encounter Zhu Jing being besieged by several generals Biao Wei. He rescued him and joined forces and returned, and met him face to face. These two, their heads are in front of me, how can you resist killing them?"
The three men were noisy and killed An Shirong's men in a moment. They joined forces and went back. When they met Lu Junyi, Du Bo shouted: "Lao Lu, I will fight one against five. Kill three of them and take away the other two." How are you doing here?"
Lu Junyi said proudly: "I also treated his five generals, and all of them died under this gun."
Yuan Lang and Zhu Jing looked at each other, secretly shocked.
The four of them faced off against four powerful generals, and it was roughly a one-on-five situation. Yuan Lang was able to kill them, Zhu Jing was tied and in danger, Du Boli killed three of them, and only Lu Junyi wiped out all his opponents. Divide yourself.
Yuan Lang sighed secretly and said: "The vigor of the thieves has been reduced. After all, we have few soldiers and cannot fight for a long time."
The other three also agreed, and the four of them joined forces and charged again. Seeing that the traitors retreated in panic, they calmly went back to catch up with Cao Cao.
Lao Cao led three thousand troops out, and when he returned to the camp, there were only about two thousand left. Fortunately, he rescued Liu Yanqing and prevented the traitors from pursuing him. I don't know how many defeated troops survived.
After returning to the base camp, Cao Cao went to see Tong Guan alone. After asking Tong Guan's cronies, he found out that after entering the camp, Tong Guan occupied his central military tent, drove everyone out, and sat inside alone to get angry.
Cao Cao was secretly amused, and walked to the door and shouted loudly: "The last general, Wu Zhi, has repelled the thieves who pursued him. I came here to see the grace minister."
There was silence inside for a long time before Tong Guan responded in a low voice: "Come in."
Cao Cao entered the account proudly. Tong Guan sighed and nodded: "Thanks to you today, otherwise the army would be completely scattered by him. How could I go to see the officials? It can be seen that I am still somewhat blessed."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "The prime minister is the pillar of the Song Dynasty, and he will naturally be blessed with great blessings. Even if there is a small setback, it will only make the rebels proud for a while, and it will be arrogant. It will be destroyed even faster."
Tong Guan nodded after hearing this, with a smile on his face, and asked gently: "Are Jingnan and Nanfeng both settled?"
Cao Cao then selectively talked about everything that happened after leaving, and then said: "Now that all the lands are at peace, we will have no worries as long as the imperial court sends officials. The last general also recruited several surrendered generals, and they all
They are quite capable of fighting, and today they killed many enemies thanks to their efforts."
Tong Guan frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Hey, I'm afraid that thieves are hard to get rid of. If you want to use them, they must be right, but you must be careful to prevent them from being vicious and difficult to train, and even backlash... Well, just call those few
In the future, I will give you a beating. I am not afraid that he will not be convinced, and he will obey your orders from now on."
Cao Cao pretended to be grateful, thanked him again and again, and went to summon all the descendants to tell Tong Guan one by one their abilities and achievements.
Before he could say a few words, Tong Guan waved his hand to stop him. He glanced at the generals coldly and said calmly: "I can't bear to hear a lot. I just want to tell you a few words. You guys should know in your hearts.
You were originally a traitor who was killed by a thousand swords and committed a crime worthy of death. Now, thanks to the mercy of the officials and the tolerance of the kings in the court, they are willing to give you a chance to live. This opportunity is hard-won. You must live well.
Pay your dues, and fight hard in the future, make more contributions, and you will get the results in the long run, so go ahead."
He waved his hand outward, just like driving a slave away from a dog. Anger appeared on Du Bo's faces. Fortunately, Tong Guan didn't even notice them.
Cao Cao coughed and looked at him with his eyes. When several people saw it, they swallowed their anger and left.
Du Kuo, Yuan Lang, Teng Si, Teng Kan, Liu Yuan, Wen Ren Shi Chong, Hu Jing, and Hu Xian, a total of eight surrendered generals, were sullen all the way. Returning to Du Kuo's account, Yuan Lang roared in a low voice: "
If you don't look at Wu Dalang's face, you can smash and kill that eunuch."
Du Bo laughed evilly and said: "Brother Wu and the officers and soldiers are not of the same mind. Sooner or later, they will avenge today's humiliation."
The remaining few were also blaming the sky and the earth, hating endlessly. At this time, Sun An hurried over, persuaded everyone, and comforted: "It's best to keep these words in your heart, so as not to have ears across the wall. Brother Wu family will never let his brothers
We are disappointed, just wait patiently."
In the central army's tent, Tong Guan showed off his power and sent word to Wang Zhen. Liu Yanqing entered the tent. Cao Cao did not see Ma Wanli, and Zhou Xin had both soldiers and horses in custody. He asked out of curiosity, and Wang Zhen sighed: "This matter, say
It’s a long story…”
It turns out that Duan Wu led an army of 50,000 to attack Xijing before. He followed the plan of joining the army to ridicule victory and secretly sent more than a thousand warriors to sneak into Xijing in batches. When the army arrived, he rushed out and seized the city gate in one fell swoop, and then conquered Xijing.
After capturing Xijing, Duan Wu plundered the city and sent generals Gong Duan, Gong Zheng, and Xie Ning with 30,000 troops to attack Zhengzhou and Bianjing.
Chen Zhu, Superintendent of the Military and Horse Command in Zhengzhou, led ten thousand troops to accompany Tong Guan on his expedition. Zhengzhou was naturally empty. He was attacked by Xie Ning at night. He came down with a drum and killed directly towards Kaifeng. This attack did not frighten the emperor to death and made him cry a lot.
They moved the capital to avoid the situation, which caused panic throughout the court.
At the critical moment, a seventh-rank official stepped forward to make a strong case. This man was Li Gang, a member of the Ministry of War, and his father Li Kui (sound-coded) was an official in Taichang Shaoqing, the pacifier of South Beijing Road, and had served with Lu
Huiqing had made great achievements in resisting the invaders from the Western Xia Dynasty and was proficient in military affairs. Li Gang was deeply influenced by his father and also knew the art of war. He threatened the emperor at that time and said: If you move the capital, the world will be shaken and everyone will rebel. If you defend the city, the world will be peaceful. Just wait for Commander Tong to come back and help you.
Can be determined.
The city walls of Bianjing were thick and thick, and there was abundant food and rice. The rebels could not attack them. Tong Guan returned to the army. In the next battle, veteran Liu Yanqing slashed Gong Duan with his sword, and general Wang Xunli killed Gong Zheng. The rebel army was defeated. Xie Ning led
The remnants of the army fled back to Xijing.
Tong Guan entered the city and was scolded by the emperor. He chopped up Duan Er and others in the street, and then asked him to go back to Xijing.
At this time, Duan Wu also learned that Wang Qing had been defeated and died, so he burst into tears and wrote to Tian Hu, begging him to accept it.
Tong Guan led his troops to Xijing, and the king challenged him in the city. He killed several generals in the bandit army. Duan Wu was so frightened that he closed the city and refused to leave.
The officers and soldiers thought that they were sure of victory, and they showed off their power and attacked for days. Unexpectedly, Tian Hu had already sent people to agree with Duan Wu on a flanking attack strategy. On this day, before dawn, the Xijing bandits came out in full force. Tong Guan was not surprised but overjoyed.
, then he organized his troops and horses and went to kill them.
In the chaos of the army, the "Poisonous Flame Ghost King" came out and burned Wanli Ma to death with a burst of fire. The front army immediately collapsed. Liu Yanqing's troops came forward to fight, but Niu Wenzhong suddenly led the Jinzhong bandits to fight out in large numbers. Zhou Xin, who was behind the throne,
Unable to defeat Niu Wenzhong, he died under his three-pointed and two-edged sword. Tong was attacked from both sides and was immediately defeated. If Cao Cao hadn't happened to come to rescue him, he might have been defeated back to Bianjing.
After listening to Wang Zhen's story, Cao Cao was a little worried and said: "Although our soldiers and horses won the battle against Wang Qing, they have been fighting for several months and have become exhausted. There is no harm in attacking Xijing. If we want to fight Tian Hu again, I'm afraid it will be necessary."
Only if Enxiang mobilizes fresh troops from other places can we have a chance of winning."
After hearing this, Tong Guan showed a complacent look on his face and said with a faint smile: "Although General Wu is brave, he is still young. Who said we want to fight Tian Hu? It is enough to kill his tribe across the river and let him know the power of the imperial court. The remaining
The next thing is just a letter and an envoy to bring him to safety, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Cao Cao didn't expect that Tong Guan had the idea of recruiting, and secretly laughed: Tian Hu proclaimed himself king, and his ambition is not small. The conditions for recruiting him may not be easy, right? Besides, he is not my father-in-law's wise brother, so he may not be easy.
Then he valued the reputation of the old Zhao family.
Of course, these words were only thought in my heart, but there was a look of admiration on my face: "The grace is indeed brilliant. This is a weapon that can subdue others without fighting!"
Tong Guan suddenly laughed.
There are different teachings: they robbed the fifth Huai section of Xijing and attacked the tigers who went south to Jintian. Lao Cao did not ask about recruitment and security, but he used force to wipe out the bandits.
