Chapter 75 Father and Son
Feiyuan Gorge has completely become Zhang Yu’s nightmare.
There was only a narrow mountain road between the two stone walls. Countless stones fell, and both the armor and the shield were smashed into a puddle of flesh.
Even though Guo Ning risked his own life and rushed forward, he was faced with hundreds of spears thrust from all directions...
After seventeen fierce attacks, they were still unable to break through. The casualties had reached a thousand people. Zhang Yu felt a pain in his body. These were all veterans who had followed him to fight in the north and south.
What worries Zhang Yu even more is that the weather is getting colder day by day.
"Such a dangerous mountain fortress could have been defended for ten and a half days even if hundreds of dogs and hogs were sent there. How did you lose it?" Zhang Yu hated it.
Fire attacks, night attacks, small road raids, dead soldiers charge, he thought of everything he could think of, but he just couldn't break through this mountain gorge.
The more casualties among his subordinates, the more dissatisfied Zhang Yu was with Zheng Sheng.
"Dang, the situation that day was special...I didn't expect that the thief would come at any time..." Cui Jin's face appeared in Zheng Sheng's mind.
"The fall of Xuanyuan Mountain and the failure of the siege of Heiyun Mountain are all the fault of your Zheng family!" Zhang Yu had to consider his way out.
"Your Majesty..." Zheng Sheng also knew that this was a difficult situation. His uncle Zheng Du could not let him go, and the Zheng family would not let him go.
Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to say more."
Zheng Sheng's legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth and said: "General, there is still a chance. The thieves will be exhausted after defending for several days. Please concentrate your elite forces and attack again!"
As soon as the words came out, the flags on the gorge were waving, and the curses and the sound of gongs and drums were rolling down together, "Zhang encountered a dog thief and was a turtle. He quickly surrendered. The governor of Yuzhou should give up his throne. My general is stronger than you..."<
/p>
The curses followed the rhythm of the gongs and drums. Not only were they sung, but they were also jumping up and down. It was extremely cheerful and did not mean that they were exhausted at all.
Zhang Yu was a prince after all, but he was actually pointed at and scolded by the bandit, and his face turned red with anger.
Zheng Sheng remained silent and huddled aside, fearing that Zhang Yu's anger would be vented on him.
The more he cursed in the gorge, the happier he became, followed by bursts of laughter that shook the mountains.
The people at the foot of the mountain gorge bowed their heads as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Just when everyone thought Zhang Yu was about to get angry, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "What a shame, what a thief! If I had been born twenty years earlier, I would have been able to gallop around the world and compete with the great Hu in the Central Plains. If I couldn't capture and kill this
Son, he will be a big trouble for me one day!"
His style impressed the surrounding generals.
"Guo Ning, I accept you as my adopted son, okay?" Zhang Yuxiong glowed.
In nine of the seventeen attacks on the mountain, Guo Ning led the charge.
The heavy armor was stained with blood, but he refused to retreat. He almost broke through the enemy's camp three times, but was suppressed by the combined efforts of two thieves.
Such a fierce man is naturally a hot commodity among the major forces.
"Your Majesty..." Zheng Sheng obviously had something to say.
But his words were ignored by everyone.
Guo Ning didn't even look at Zheng Sheng, and knelt in front of Zhang Yu, "Zhang Ning, I pay my respects to you, sir."
"Haha, okay! From today on, you will be the tent commander!"
"Thank you for your cultivation!" Guo Ning was overjoyed. The adopted son of the governor of Yuzhou is still the governor of the army, and he is much better than the captain of Xingyang.
The two of them sang and harmonized, and there was nothing wrong with Zheng Sheng.
"When a thief insults you, he is insulting me. I am willing to kill you again!" Guo Ning said positively.
Zhang Yu looked at the lively figures on the gorge, his eyes flashed, "No need, this mountain cannot be broken with a sword."
Li Yue on the mountain has not heard the sound of fighting for two days.
The cold wind is getting colder day by day.
Once the weather changes, there will definitely be heavy snow.
However, there were continuous heavy rains in spring and summer this year, and after winter, there was no rain or snow.
"Has Zhang Yu retreated?"
"No, the enemy has set up camp on the mountainside, with deep ditches and high fortresses, and checkpoints are also set up at major intersections at the foot of the mountain." The scout came to report.
Li Yue frowned. Could it be that Zhang Yu wanted to use weapons to besiege Xuanyuan Mountain?
Food and grass for ten thousand people is not a small amount, but the Xuchang family has a big business, so it is not difficult for him.
In the first year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Wei moved the Han emperor to Xuchang and started farming in Xuxia. Millions of dendrobium were harvested that year. In the following nearly a hundred years, the farming in Xuchang was further expanded and connected with the farming in Huaibei, becoming a large granary in the Central Plains and the home of the Sima family.
He made great contributions by pacifying the three rebellions in Huainan and suppressing Soochow.
If others are short of food, Zhang Yu will definitely not be short of food.
If he really stayed on the mountain, Li Yue really couldn't do anything about him.
In these few battles, Li Yue gradually figured out his strategy, which was extremely steady and upright, with no flaws.
Cui Jin said: "If they surround the mountain, our army will lose contact for a long time. I am afraid that something will happen in Heiyun Mountain..."
It is very common these days to besiege a city and besiege it for a year and a half.
Heiyun Mountain has absorbed so many refugees. Without the army, can Bo Wu and Zhou Qian suppress it?
"Two or three months should be fine! Let's take a look first. Maybe Zhang Yu deliberately lured me into fighting." Li Yue chose to believe Bo Wu and Zhou Qian.
Xuanyuan Mountain is so big that Zhang Yu could not completely block it with 10,000 troops, and the scouts could still come and go normally.
It’s nothing more than consumption.
Li Yue didn't believe that Zhang Yu had been stuck in Xuanyuan Mountain, regardless of his hometown in Xuchang.
There are wolves everywhere these days that eat people without spitting out their bones. For a treasured land like Xuchang, there must be many people who miss him.
If Black Cloud Mountain is lost, Li Yue can still continue to be the bandit leader in Xuanyuan, but if something happens to Zhang Yu's Xuchang, his position as the governor of Yuzhou will be over.
An enemy of the governor of Yuzhou will definitely have more internal and external troubles than a bandit leader!
Li Yue adjusted his mentality and strictly prohibited all generals from going into battle, and An Xin became a tortoise.
The days just slipped away day by day.
Xuanyuan Mountain is a famous scenic tourist area. Even in winter, there is a different kind of scenery on the mountain, which is not difficult to endure.
During the day, Li Yue visited the main village to reassure people.
In the evening, I looked through the bamboo slips left by Guo Shi.
Different from the books in Heiyun Mountain, the books here are all within the Four Books and Five Classics, including military books and medical books. Li Yue is also interested in them, but it is more like the teachings of saints, which he really can't understand.
Firstly, there is no such leisure and elegance, and secondly, the current world situation is very different from that of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Chu and Han Dynasties.
It is no longer an internal struggle for hegemony, but an invasion by foreigners who want to destroy me, Zhongxia.
Etiquette, integrity, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have long been put into the chamber pot by the Sima family.
Moreover, reading is not an easy task these days. There are no punctuation marks, all are traditional Chinese characters, and the little things Li Yue has in his stomach are not enough to study these.
When I studied military and medical books, I was forced by the situation, and I was definitely not really eager to learn.
After flipping through a few volumes at random, I felt sleepy.
But among a pile of bamboo slips and paper rolls, Li Yue found something different.
Paper was promoted in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Not only did calligraphy flourish, but painting also began to develop. Various murals and portraits began in this era. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes originated from the Sixteen Kingdoms.
The man in the portrait is sitting and holding a sword, his eyes are sharp and substantial.
The portraits of the Wei and Jin Dynasties pay attention to form, spirit, and charm. There is not much ink on the whole face. After many months, the ink has become somewhat mottled. Only these eyes are unforgettable, and they make the whole character full of heroism.
