At the dawn of dawn, the Taishan Army lined up in the fields of Puyang, south of the river. The drums shook the ground and the flags were fluttering. The fifteen battalions of the Taishan Army merged with the headquarters, totaling 6,000 troops. According to the formation list given by Zhang Chong in the morning , moved to the corresponding position one after another.
In addition, two thousand troops from the Puyang Taipingdao and Dahe water bandits who had defected last night formed an army formation slightly closer to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chongchen's military meeting decided that the schedule for the next day is:
There are fifteen battalion heads in the whole army. Zhang Dan leads five battalion heads, Li Damu, Dian Wei, Wei Zhou, Guo Liang, and Yu Jin, to line up outside Puyang City to guard against possible attacks inside Puyang City.
Guan Yu led Chen Huan, Ding Sheng, Xie Bi, Wang Zhang and Li Bi's Yishan camp to the north, facing the Puyangjin stronghold by the river.
Then Zhang Chong led his headquarters and Wu Zi's Basu Camp, Zhao Shu's Kechang Camp, Gao Ya's Jiangyi Camp, Zhao Liang, Zhu Ying's Wuyan Camp, Xie Hui, and Wu Rong's Pinglu Camp as backup and camera assistance.
Just like that, for an hour, both Puyang City and Puyangjin on the side watched this giant yellow scarf bandit calmly arrange its formation in front of them.
At this time, at the camp in front of Puyangjin, Lieutenant Zhongshao of the Northern Military Academy also led several of his subordinates to observe the Taiping Dao military formation. For a long time, no one spoke.
This is not surprising. Anyone who sees the dazzling armor and the soaring military power in front of them will be stunned and speechless. At this moment, no one dares to underestimate this Mount Tai army anymore.
Under the morning light, the wilderness of Puyang has turned into a sea of yellow, with yellow flags, yellow turbans, and the towering banner standing between the sky and the earth, as if it is a huge sky. This is the Yellow Sky!
"The fire is in full swing, and the army is in full swing."
Zhong Shao is not an irresponsible superficial person. In this case, it is reasonable to boost the morale of the army, but there is no way. This impact is subconscious and cannot be controlled. Although he is also a Northern Army official, according to the The principles are not different from those of Taiping Road, but it's pitiful that the Northern Army hasn't done anything in a while.
Humans are visual animals. Anyone who sees a field full of people holding flags and arranging military formations in an orderly manner will be taken away by the beauty of this order.
Originally, Zhong Shao was full of confidence in completing Lu Zhi's military order, but this time, his confidence in victory was cast a shadow.
Zhong Shao was still angry here, but over there under the canopy at the top of Puyang City, Cao Shao was already trembling. He regretted it, really regretted it. He had obviously left the city, so why did he surrender himself and come back?
He asked Tian Ying beside him, tremblingly:
"Mr. Junqing, what do you think of the Taishan bandit below?"
The man Cao Shao asked was named Tian Ying. He was tall and slim, with a yellow crown and a bamboo turban. He was dressed like a virgin. He had been eating vegetables and abstaining from meat for more than 20 years, which gave him a certain celestial spirit.
He was the patriarch of the Tian clan in Puyang. He was good at Confucianism, Shangshu, Lao, Zhuang and Sun. He was a first-class scholar in Puyang and taught hundreds of disciples.
What is a virgin? It is a person who has a high reputation but does not want to be an official. Later generations, such as Xie An, are such virgins. Such people live in the valleys of their ambitions and retreat to the mountains and forests. No matter who comes to conquer, they will not be able to do it. But Puyang There are no mountains nearby for Tian Ying to live in seclusion, so he can only live in the bustling city.
The Tian family is a powerful family in the county. Although they are not as important as the sons of the public clan, none of the previous governors of the East County have cared about the Tian family's color, so Cao Shao subconsciously asked the Tian family in his eyes. But unfortunately, Hua Hua
No Hundred Days of Red, these Tian clan people did not know that when a man named Lu Bu occupied Puyang and confronted Cao Cao, their Tian clan bet on the wrong person. They actually defeated Lu Bu and helped Lu Bu in his counterintuitive scheme.
Cao Cao entered the city, and Cao Cao, who fell into the trap, narrowly escaped. They did not kill Cao Cao, so naturally Cao Cao destroyed the Tian clan after destroying Lu Bu.
Those are troubled times, and no matter how illustrious a family is, it will be ruined because of the wrong person.
But Tian Ying naturally didn't know this at this time. He was indifferent and said to Cao Shao:
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. The city of Puyang is high and deep, and there are Northern troops outside the city to support it. It is impregnable. What's more, Mr. Fu doesn't know. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Zhang Han and Xiang Liang fought for Heji, and were defeated in three battles.
It was only when they retreated to Puyang that they stopped their defeat. Xiang Liang attacked Puyang several times without success, so he could only move his troops to attack Dingtao, only to be attacked and killed by Zhang Han in succession. Xiang Liang, a famous general in Chu, and after the Gong clan, could not
If we destroy this Puyang, how can the Taishan bandits down here destroy Puyang again?"
Cao Shao nodded. He was already fat, but now that the sun was up again, he was already sweating profusely just standing there. So when Tian Ying said that Puyang was impregnable, he smiled broadly and was ready to go down to the city.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of the ancient story he had heard from his staff before, and asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Junqing, I heard someone said that the Zhi family of Jin State failed to attack Jinyang of Zhao Dynasty. It was because they blocked the Jin River and poured water into Jinyang, which was almost broken. We have a big river next to Puyang. If the moth thieves below decided to
The river is attacking us, so what should we do?"
From here, you can really see how afraid of death Cao Shao was. In order to be sure, he even searched out the story of the water attack from his memory.
These words made Tian Yinggao take a look at Cao Shao. This man actually knows history? It’s really commendable. Indeed, history books in this world are precious. They are either kept in Lantai or hidden in Fang’s family. Not many people know about the past, so who
Using a large number of allusions in his articles shows his rich knowledge reserve. And being able to understand other people's allusions also proves his family background. So when Cao Shao said an allusion, he inadvertently revealed that he was not that kind of person.
Not literate.
But Tian Ying continued to teach Cao Shao:
"Master Fu, you don't have to worry. The so-called flooding of the city is all said by those who don't know how to fight. I just want to say one thing. In the former Han Dynasty, in the third year of Emperor Xiaowu's Yuanguang period, the great river moved south and flowed southeast from Dunqiu.
, in May of that year, the river burst outside Puyang. On that day, the water flowed for hundreds of miles, and all sixteen counties were Zeguo. However, the water in Puyang City on that day was only knee-deep. With this water depth, it was impossible to cross the city wall. Moreover, the foundation of the wall outside Puyang
They are all made of bricks, and they are just blisters that will not rot in half a year. As for whether what I said is true, you can ask Mr. Ji next to you. His ancestor Ji Gong was the one who presided over the disaster relief.
There must be a record of this happening at home.”
Cao Shao groaned and turned to look at a dark, thin old man outside the city. His name was Ji Shang, and he was a descendant of Ji An, who had provided relief in the disaster.
It is said that the Ji family was also a royal family in the early Han Dynasty, but after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is now just an ordinary powerful family. At that time, there was no chance for the Tian family to speak in front of the Ji family.
, But now, alas, the Tian family is standing on the left hand side of the county guard, but their Tian family is already standing on the outside, lost in the crowd.
Ji Shang didn't know why Tian Ying suddenly mentioned this matter, but he knew that this was the time for him to show his family's name. After all, the disaster relief in Yuanguang three years was indeed the highlight of their family. The Ji family members have been carrying this since they were young.
Because this is the glory of their family.
So Ji Shang came out from the crowd, paid homage to Cao Shao, and said:
"Master Huifu, what Tian Jun said is accurate. Several big families in Puyang have memories of what happened that year. After that, our ancestors went to the granary of Hebei to save countless lives in Henan. Our Ji family has always remembered this.
"
After hearing what Ji Shang, a descendant of Ji An, said personally, Cao Shao finally felt relieved. This is family inheritance, you have to respect it.
Speaking of the inheritance of the glorious memories of these families, this is actually a kind of identification of each family. For example, if the Ji family declines and someone claims to be a member of the Ji family of Puyang in the future, then other families in Puyang will ask about these things.
If you can't answer, then I'm sorry, you are a fake. But if you can answer correctly, then after being certified by these families, you will really be a descendant of the Puyang Ji family.
In fact, it is not only the glorious memories of these families that the children of these aristocratic families have memorized since childhood, but also the families that have been married for generations. The latter is more practical than the former. In their upper-level social networks, they all intermarry with each other. You
Talk about the marriage relationship here, and check the marriage relationship over there, and you will often find that you and he are relatives. Doesn’t this kind of relationship suddenly get closer? And this can also add to the family when the family is in decline.
A protection. When the family breaks down, you can seek refuge with these married relatives. As long as the relationship you record here matches the relationship inherited by them, you don’t have to think too much about getting rich again, but you will definitely have enough to eat.
In fact, when it comes to this, what is the purpose of Tian Ying's words? Didn't you, Cao Shao, talk about an ancient period? Whether it was to show off or not, Tian Ying had to show it. Didn't you listen to other people's talk about ancient times? Now he
Tian Ying told Cao Shao that we don’t talk about ancient times because they are participants in history. This is the heritage of their big families, which cannot be understood by you Cao family eunuchs. He also told Cao Shao that these people
The big family in Puyang are the real local snakes. Their ancestors have been here for generations in this city and this land, and their descendants will still be here in the future. They are the masters of Puyang.
So you said that sometimes these aristocratic people are indeed annoying. On the one hand, they are noble, but on the other hand, they talk in a vague way, leaving you to guess. They talk in endless words, and they naturally understand what they understand, and they don't say much if they don't understand.
In the end, Cao Shao didn't know if he really understood the depth of Tian Ying's words. Instead, he squinted and smiled while saying:
"That's good, that's good."
Then he went down to the top of the city. Since the city couldn't be broken, why did he stay here? Isn't it hot?
That is to say, when the sons of the aristocratic families in Puyang were pointing fingers at the Taishan Army, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the wilderness, which frightened the elk drinking water by the river. They panicked and hid among the grass. As for the people in Puyang.
The wild silly rabbits had already disappeared without a trace when the Taishan Army arrayed themselves with ground-shaking steps.
It was also under the sound of the trumpet that moved the sky, and under the banner with the word "Guan", Guan Yu sat on the horse, squinting, stroking his proud long beard, and remained calm.
Suddenly, he stood up and said vigorously:
"Ding Sheng, where is Wang Zhang?"
Ding Sheng and Wang Zhang came out and cupped their fists:
"The end is here!"
"Order you two to lead your troops and attack the west wall."
"Here!"
"Chen Huan, where is Xie Bi?"
"The end is here!"
"Order the two of you to lead your troops and attack the east wall."
As for Li Bi's Yishan camp and Guan Yu's school headquarters, they directly attacked the south wall of Puyangjin.
This is Guan Yu. If he doesn't move, he will stop. Once he moves, he will attack in an all-out manner, with flowers blooming on three sides.
Sure enough, the young phoenix's clear cry is a sound that shakes the nine heavens.
