Chapter 1124 Yellow Turban General, Zhang Liao aids Cao
Although Tian Ranju is a god-level commander, with a basic command value of 101 points, he is currently the highest one under Zhao Kuangyin. Even Zhao Kuangyin's first general, Tian Dan, can only equal, but not surpass, the number one general under Zhao Kuangyin.
However, after all, his merits are shallow. Although he is known to be talented, he cannot be placed in the top positions. Instead, he is assigned to be Zhao She's back-up man.
Or to be more precise, the two military sages under Zhao Kuangyin, whether Sun Bin or Tian Rangju, actually served as Zhao She's deputies in Yuzhou.
After all, Xuzhou is the rear area, while Yanzhou and Henan are the front lines facing the Jin army.
Zhao She took Sun Bin to Yingchuan to resist Li Xiang, while Tian Rangju followed the governor of Yuzhou, Wenzhong, to stay in Runan.
When Cao Ren's army appeared, Tian Ruju was already keenly aware of the intentions of Cao Ren's army and immediately sent troops to provide support. However, he did not expect Zhang Liao to come and attack the east and the west. As a veteran of the Jin army, he
He actually cooperated with a newly surrendered general to attack.
As a result, when he led 10,000 soldiers and horses to his father's city, Jia County had already fallen into the hands of Cao Ren and Zhang Liao.
If Cao Ren had stopped at this time, there would be nothing to do later. But Cao Ren just wanted to take this opportunity to deceive the city again. Although the guard of the father city did not see Cao Ren's flaw, he just happened to
Arriving here, Tian Rangju saw Cao Ren's flaw.
And we can only blame Cao Ren for his bad fate. Who made everything happen by such a coincidence? In the father city that was originally planned, not only did Tian Ruoju gain a general, but there were even 10,000 more soldiers and horses.
Just as he led his troops into the city, there was a burst of arrows. Cheng Yuanzhi, the former Yellow Turban general who had followed Zhang Ning to seek refuge, was shot into a sieve on the spot. Jin army general Liang Cheng also fell to the enemy's side.
Thousands of arrows were fired.
Cao Kerang fought desperately with Sun Luzhen, and then gave Cao Ren a chance to escape.
Bo Cai, the former Yellow Turban general who cooperated with Cao Ren in ambush outside the city, also discovered in time that something was wrong. He immediately mobilized his troops to assist Cao Ren and rescued the Cao family. However, even so, they still failed.
A Cao Mo was broken.
Today, Bo Cai's basic command value is as high as 96 points, and he has finally entered the ranks of peerless generals.
As for the art of war, Bo Cai was quite talented.
In 184, after the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Beizhonglang General Lu Zhi, Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, and Right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun to lead a three-pronged army to attack the Yellow Turbans.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were appointed to attack the Yellow Turbans that were raging in Yingchuan first, and they divided their forces and advanced.
Soon after, Zhu Jun had a head-on battle with Huang Jin Qu's commander, Bocai. Zhu Jun was defeated, and Bocai led his army to besiege Huangfu Song in Changshe.
Junqian fought with the thief Bocai and was defeated. Songyin entered Baochangshe. Bocai led the crowd to surround the city. Song had few soldiers and everyone in the army was afraid. - "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Huangfu Song and Zhujun"
Huangfu Song's army was besieged in the city. The morale of the army was unstable and the people were panicked. It happened that the wind was strong that day, so Huangfu Song made a surprise attack on Bocai's camp and set it on fire. Bocai's army retreated.
It just so happened that Cao Cao, who came to rescue Huangfu Song at this time, also came with troops to help. Together with Zhu Jun, they combined the three armies and finally defeated Bocai completely and drove him to Yangdi.
It can be said that Bo Cai's ability in the early stage was sufficient, otherwise he would not have defeated two of the three great generals of the late Han Dynasty. However, although he was capable from a low-level background, he had not systematically studied the art of war after all. The lower limit cannot be guaranteed.
This is also a common problem among many generals of the Peasant Rebellion Army. Either they are very biased, or their upper and lower limits are extremely outrageous in the early stage. Most of them have become famous generals after being tempered in countless wars.
However, after all, history has changed. In this life, Bocai lived for more than ten years. In these ten years, he not only systematically learned some military techniques, but also accumulated further experience in previous wars. Today, more than ten years later, it is not surprising that we have reached this point.
In this battle, Cao Ren lost three thousand troops and had to retreat to Jia County to regroup.
The reason why Tian Ranju only killed Cao Ren's 3,000 troops was because Cao Ren pretended to be a defeated army and entered the city, followed by soldiers and horses. There must not have been too many troops, only a few hundred. In the subsequent pursuit battle, Cao Ren and Bo After all, Cai Ren was a famous general and did not show any obvious flaws. Later, Zhang Liao also led his light cavalry to come to the rescue in time. This resulted in Cao Ren being defeated but not losing many troops.
"I didn't expect there to be such a person in the Central Plains!" Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Cao Ren who was in a miserable state and had an arrow in his arm.
They were born in the same batch of figures, but Sun Bin showed his talent during the war in the Central Plains. He made a plan to reduce the number of stoves and increase the number of stoves, causing the famous Central Plains general Cao Ren to be defeated. He also made two consecutive alienation plans to make Cao Cao's power want to survive. Desire to die could not help but prevent Cao Cao and Wang Mang from maintaining the original peace, which directly led to Luo Shaowei's surrender to Zhao.
I would like to ask who among the generals of the Cao family does not hate Sun Bin to the core?
Although no one in the Cao family died at the hands of Sun Bin, Sun Bin must bear part of the responsibility for the death of any one!
As for Tian Juanju, who is also one of the Four Saints of Military Strategies, although he won several battles in the Central Plains War, his performance was quite satisfactory and he was far less outstanding than Sun Bin.
And for a general, if he wants people to be cautious about him from the bottom of his heart, he still has to rely on the opponent's performance to speak for himself. Regarding this point, Tian Ruoju has not said that, but among the many famous generals in the Central Plains, it can be said that he is not the best at all. Inconspicuous.
In today's battle, not only did Bo Cai see through Cao Ren's plan, but Bo Cai originally wanted to take the opportunity to break into the city while cooperating with Cao Ren, but he did not find any chance. Instead, he was killed by the opponent for a while. Fortunately, they learned their lesson. , while being chased, he fought steadily and did not lose his position.
After Zhang Liao arrived with his light cavalry, he originally planned to launch a counterattack, but Tian Ruoju had already re-established his position in a short period of time, without letting Zhang Liao see any chance, so he had no choice but to give up.
Cao Ren was also a little embarrassed. As a general in the Central Plains, even he didn't know that this man had such abilities.
"Zhao Kuangzi is so well hidden that he actually hides such a person!" Cao Ren said harshly.
"It is difficult to change the overall situation with one's own efforts!" Zhang Liao said confidently.
He never believed that you alone could stop their army of millions.
Not to mention, half of the world's famous generals came from the Jin army. Although this person caught them by surprise, if he dared to block their progress, he would be crushed into dust sooner or later.
