Chapter 316: The Fortune Teller Says There Are Thieves Rebelling Outside
Xu Rong did not become a char-grilled friend, he just ate a full belly of char-grilled whole lamb.
Because Liu Ai doesn't want to die.
After the Liangzhou soldiers retreated, he was still trying to persuade, but was interrupted by Xu Rong.
"Do you look down on me and think Mr. Xu is a traitor? Our lord fought with Mr. Dong, and Mr. Xu retreated to the rear. He is already worthy of Mr. Dong's promotion. My lord understands Xu's difficulties and does not have the slightest bit of understanding.
You blame me, now you let me betray my lord, where are you going to put me?"
"You were just captured as a temporary measure. Could it be that you sincerely surrendered?"
Xu Rong answered categorically: "Xu is sincerely loyal to me. If my lord treats me with sincerity, Xu will never betray him."
He shook his head and said to Liu Ai: "You don't understand. You have never been loyal to anyone. You don't understand. You only know how to kill people. My Lord is different. He is alive. He makes people live like human beings. He makes people live like human beings."
People in Youzhou can have enough food and clothing, and Xu is also from Youzhou.”
Liu Ai sneered: "That's what? Xu Rong, who has always killed people without blinking an eye, didn't expect to be a saint. Then who doesn't know Liu Yicheng's murderous temperament? When you say it, he is comparable to a saint. Do you think I believe it? Okay?
Okay, let’s end it here, Xu Rong, you won’t be able to escape even if you catch me, so stop and make peace, let me go, I won’t kill you.”
Xu Rong smiled and said: "Who said I wanted to run away? You are too arrogant and should not have exposed the location of the army."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you really think that Xu just brought a few people to the appointment? A sneak attack must look like a sneak attack. How can you do a sneak attack if you don't hide it well?"
Before Xu Rong finished speaking, a Liangzhou soldier shouted outside the camp: "Report to the Chief of History, traces of enemy troops have been found before and after, and we are blocked."
Liu Ai gave a bitter smile, his hiding place was a ravine, and now he was blocked from both sides and could not escape.
"You pretended to go to the meeting, but there was a large army following you. Are you really not afraid of dying among our troops?"
"If you want to die, you must die first." Xu Rong grinned and persuaded: "Surrender, why fight to the death?"
yy
"I misjudged you!" Liu Ai was indignant. He lost so unfairly, but he did not insist on being tough. He wanted to live. He knew that as long as he surrendered, Xu Rong would not kill him.
Three thousand people from the Liangzhou army abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and were taken back to the border to be detained.
At this time, Dong Yue's four thousand infantrymen also surrendered.
Dong Zhuo did not go out to rescue him, and he would not be able to save him. The combat power that the Anping Army unleashed made him realize that his previous weak performance was just an act. If he sent people out again, he would only suffer greater losses.
There were less than 14,000 combatable soldiers in the camp, and he could not afford to lose anything.
"He knew there was an ambush, how did he know? You ambushed our army in front of me, Liu Yicheng, you are so treacherous. Someone must be secretly communicating the news. Who is betraying me? Find out
, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs!”
Dong Zhuo's chest felt tight and his anger was rising. He disliked everyone and wanted to kill everyone.
Niu Fu is as obedient as a little chicken. Whoever dares to take the lead at this time will die.
Dong Zhuo panted for a long time and then managed to suppress his anger. He knew that Dong Yue had not many people out in ambush. There were only a few of his attendants, three lieutenants in the army, and Liu Ai who was leading the army.
Who could it be?
"Niu Fu, check it out for me and find out who leaked our military secrets?"
Niu Fu hesitated for a moment, then approached Dong Zhuo and whispered: "Uncle, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
"If you fart, let it go!"
"Yesterday, Zhenren Fei made a hexagram. The hexagram is Huo Ze Sui. The lower hexagram of Sui is Dui, and the five elements are gold. The upper hexagram is Li, and the five elements are fire. Fire can forge gold, which is a bad omen. The mutual hexagram is water and fire.
Ji Ji, it is the water in the outer hexagram that controls the fire in the inner hexagram, which is a sign of offending the master. He asserted that there was a thief rebelling outside. I thought it was Dong Yue at the time, but now it seems that there is someone else."
Niu Fu believed this very much, and he said it very seriously.
Dong Zhuo listened very carefully, carefully analyzed the hexagrams, and asked: "Do you doubt Liu Ai?"
"It could also be Duan Xuan."
"Check, call them back to check, issue an order immediately, don't let anyone go."
The war cannot be fought, there is a traitor.
If the opponent knew that Dong Yue was ambushing outside, he would naturally also know that Liu Ai was leading a surprise attack. Regardless of whether it was Liu Aitong's news, he had to recall his troops, otherwise he would be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
As for Duan Xuan, who was stationed in Yong'an, he had to be recalled for questioning. Unfortunately, the camp did not dare to mobilize troops and could not give Liu Yicheng a chance to break the camp, otherwise the Yong'an garrison would also need to be replaced.
Dong Zhuo could find the traitor with peace of mind because Liu Xiang had withdrawn his troops. It was already evening and the enemy camp was on alert and had not sent out troops to rescue them. If they wanted to fight again, they would have to start a night battle, which was unnecessary.
He didn't want to fight Dong Zhuo.
Now we are waiting for Zhang He's action. After sending troops for seven days, they should arrive at Yong'an City.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiang didn't know that the partial division that attacked the enemy's rear had gone too far.
Zhang He, who was being talked about by him, was looking at the fleet going upstream in the bushes.
He followed Liu Xiang through the Fenshui route, going south and north.
"This fleet cannot reach Yong'an today. The river is turbulent and they dare not sail at night. This is a God-given opportunity. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. As the ancients said, this blessing has indeed come to your doorstep."
He turned around and sent an order: "Rest on the spot and prepare for a night battle."
Zhang He wants to destroy the fleet of more than a hundred grain transport ships. It is already evening and it will be dark soon. The fleet will definitely have to dock at the shore. That is the chance to board the ship.
There are not many people on board these cargo ships, which are about ten feet long. As long as they touch them, they are chopping melons and vegetables.
The soldiers of the Chinese Army were resting in the mountains and forests, and time passed by little by little.
At midnight, five thousand soldiers groped upstream by daylight and walked for nearly two hours before traveling more than twenty miles and found the fleet anchored on the east bank of Fen River.
After taking a breath, at the first moment of Yin Shi, more than 500 people went into the water and swam towards the ship docked in the deep water. It wasn't that Zhang He didn't want to send more people, but that's all because the water was good. Most of the others were landlubbers, and they were swimming in the water at night.
Take their lives.
Figures wearing only calf-nosed trousers, holding short knives in their mouths, walked onto the ship. There were more than a dozen people in a ten-foot-long cargo ship. They only needed to touch one or two, and the result would be done in a moment.
them.
The ships escorting troops were a little more troublesome, but the soldiers of the Chinese army would not fight with people in their underwear. They would lead people out of the cabin and jump into the water, while the crossbowmen on the shore would take care of them.
In the early days, some ships were quietly solved, but there were always people who were awakened. In the quiet early morning, a scream could wake up a large number of people. The originally lazy and sleepy night watchers quickly got up and lit lanterns and torches, but the result was that
The crossbowmen on the shore illuminated the target, and then the fleet's nightmare began.
Those who lit a fire to illuminate were shot to death, those who hid in the dark were climbed on board and stabbed to death, and some wanted to risk sailing. The sailors who raised the sails were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, and those who lifted anchors and drifted downstream mostly crashed into other ships.
The boats collided violently, the timber broke, the crowd screamed, the river rolled over, and countless people fell into the water. They swam desperately to the shore, and then became prisoners of the Anping Army.
The commotion lasted for more than half an hour. The sky was bright and ships were crossing the river. No one could move. Under the threat of thousands of crossbows, the remaining sailors and guards made the wisest choice.
surrender.
More than a hundred grain-carrying ships were captured, but few managed to escape.
Hundreds of strong men wearing calf-nosed trousers were shouting and shouting on various ships. The scene was spectacular and extremely eye-catching.
Calf-nose trousers are shorts with a crotch, called a crotch. The crotch is as short as a cow's nose, commonly known as calf-nose trousers, and is not much longer than a crotch cloth.
Wearing calf-nose pants in front of others in broad daylight is a very immoral thing.
I remember that when Sima Xiangru brought Zhuo Wenjun back to Chengdu, he wore calf-nosed trousers as a sanitizer to humiliate Zhuo Wangsun.
It has to be said that this guy is a ruthless man. He took his daughter to sell wine at a stall outside his father-in-law's gate. He himself was only wearing underwear and washing dishes. He was so shameless that he was invincible.
The soldiers in the center who were only wearing calf-nose trousers also felt that they were invincible, and they shouted and gathered the prisoners.
Zhang He ordered people to count the available ships. His goal was not this fleet, but Yong'an County, which was thirty or forty miles away.
