Because greedy people can get happiness when they get money, which will stimulate nerves and even become addictive.
Everyone is actually on the road of "addiction" since they are born.
Even the most basic food acquisition, the brain is trying to guide humans to obtain certain supplies or avoid certain toxins, like sugar and fat, which are addictive substances derived from appetite.
Greed is a desire to expand from the desire for survival, because at the beginning, it may only take a little thing to ensure survival needs and be happy, but the more you need it later, the more happiness is declining.
This decay of happiness will cause addicted people to lose their minds more and more. In short, they will become out of control. They will become more and more crazy. They don’t care about doing anything. They just need to get the pleasure of that moment, ignore life, and ignore everything.
The happiness that Xiahou Jun wants is to defeat the enemy. He knows that his ability is not strong, at least not as strong as he imagined, but he still longs for victory, greedily wants to win, and everything he wants to win.
"The soldiers of Xihe County are now stationed in Datao, with Jiuze on the side. Here, the thatch is dense, and they are often withered and undefeated in winter..." Xiahou Jun tried to make his tone stable, but it was inevitable that there would be some trembling. "So I want to imitate Huangfu Fen Changshe's strategy... What do you have any opinions?"
I have to say that Xiahou Jun’s idea is indeed good.
Jiuze was a large zodiac in the southwest of Jinyang, Taiyuan during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Later, it disappeared with soil erosion and climate change. However, it is still an area with abundant water and grass. Historically, after the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, it was split out and placed around Jiuze, and a captain protecting the Xiongnu were set up to focus on it.
There are many thatchs around Jiuze, so it is indeed a place suitable for fire attack.
Xiahou Jun pointed at the Jiangshan, "We set out from Jinyang and made many concerts to strengthen our momentum. When we arrived at Datao at dusk, the thief would not dare to enter and be on guard. At that time, we would light the fire in Jiuze at night. The fire would take advantage of the power of the wind and invade the south from north to south, so we would be able to...
Xiahou Jun waved his arm down heavily, and spit out two words word by word-
『Resist it!』
...
...
It was dark.
Wind and flies.
Xiahou Jun seemed to see Shengli waving in front of him.
As Xiahou Jun expected, it was already late when he and Chen Rui's army scouts had contact.
Under such circumstances, the troops of both sides were relatively restrained and had no intention of raising fire to fight in the field.
Xiahou Jun is fifty miles away from Datao.
This value was determined after some consideration by Xiahou Jun.
Generally speaking, the camps between the two sides are between 60 and 80 miles. On the one hand, this will not require too far to go on the second day's battle, and on the other hand, it will not be too close to be attacked by the opponent.
But what Xiahou Jun wanted was to attack Chen Rui, but he was afraid that his actions would be discovered in advance, so he went down a slightly closer fifty miles, which was just to cover his ears and steal the bell. In fact, it was to make the distance shorter and enter the attack range faster when attacking at night.
The night had slowly come down, and Xiahou Jun's heart was lifted up little by little, jumping around.
In Shandong, as long as you read the book for two days, you can know that you should be calm when encountering major events. But how many can you really do it?
Anyway, Xiahou Jun can't calm down now.
The night wind blew on Xiahou Jung's face, like a knife cutting it, but Xiahou Jung didn't feel cold at all, and even felt that his heart was getting more and more joyful as time went by!
Now, my face can be restored!
After this battle, you can raise your head and become a leader among the second generation of Xiahou clan!
By then, if you have greater reputation, you can gain a higher status among the Shandong Cao family political group!
The defeat in Yangqu was just a momentary negligence. I also summarized it from the previous lessons, gained experience, and grew up!
It turns out that the war is not the two sides agreed on the battlefield, and then they made a decision and fought again...
Xiahou Jun felt that although Chen Rui had many soldiers, he was actually nothing.
Set fire first, then rush.
In the darkness of the night, the infantry who could not line up could not resist at all!
Needless to mention such a small camp, even the regular cavalry army may not be able to persevere in the fire and black smoke!
Xiahou Jun felt that Chen Rui’s most correct choice was to get on the horse and flee under the escort of his personal guards at the first time when he encountered a fire. Only then could he have a way out!
These thoughts circling in Xiahou Jun's mind made him more and more excited. If he hadn't had to act cautiously, Xiahou Jun would like to sing a song to relax his depression after the song!
The fire soon emerged and began to spread under the cold wind.
The rolling flames and the Cao army soldiers following behind the flames looked like they were jumping out of hell!
Like other Cao's soldiers, Xiahou Jun couldn't help but roar loudly.
The sound of the wind and the flames mixed together, and fear and excitement twisted into a ball.
...
...
Chen Rui was in Datao Liying, and actually knew that he was a bait.
Maybe the cavalry and horses of Zhang Xiu, Huang Cheng and others were too strong, and the gap with ordinary county soldiers was too big, so Chen Rui guessed early that he was definitely not the main force in attacking Jinyang, Taiyuan.
Chen Rui has been to Jinyang and knows how much material reserves there are in Jinyang. If you really attack Jinyang, it is not a good idea whether it is a head-on attack or a siege.
Since it is difficult to fight, it is difficult to surround, and it is not the main force, and it is still standing under Jinyang's eyelids, what can we do?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, Chen Rui also thought that maybe he could only work hard for a long time and could not really lure Cao Jun out.
If Cao's army is really stupid enough to be lured out, then Chen Rui will definitely report back as soon as possible. As long as Zhang Xiu or Huang Cheng leads the cavalry, will he be afraid that Cao's army will not be able to deal with these short-legged ones?
To be honest, the quality of the county soldiers is not very good, even under the command of the cavalry.
This kind of "not very good" is largely related to personal will. Those who are motivated and willing to endure hardships and put in their efforts to practice martial arts and combat skills are just being picked out one by one?
The remaining ones who come to the county level are mostly having problems with this or that.
Moreover, after arriving at the local area, due to the different jurisdictions of counties in various places, some military chiefs will be more strict, so the quality of soldiers will be higher. If some military chiefs are weaker or more mixed, then it is easy to imagine what the county soldiers under their command will become.
Xihe County was originally led by Cui Jun...
Not long after Chen Rui took over, and Chen Rui's main energy was to focus on people's livelihood and government affairs. Because Xihe County's military importance is not very strong, the quality of the soldiers has always been worrying, and it cannot be reversed in one or two days.
Therefore, even if Chen Rui brought these county soldiers stationed in Datao, they might not be able to pretend to be elite, but they would look more casual and unprepared, which would be true...
But Chen Rui didn't expect that Xiahou Jun was really a little cruel and set fire when he came up!
When the fire was ignited, the soldiers on duty in Chen Rui's camp also discovered it. They roared and woke up the soldiers in the camp, which made it a little messy.
Anyone who suddenly wakes up from sleep will be confused.
Of course, except for those keyboard warriors who claim to be not human, they not only do not think that they belong to humans, but also do not want to accept the flaws of others. Just like who can be worth 500,000 in the Internet?
If only Cao's army attacked, these county soldiers could have resisted a little, but now facing the blazing fire, many people's calves were trembling.
"The cavalry reached the two wings to suppress the position, the rear army turned to the front army, and retreated in turn!"
Chen Rui ordered a retreat without any hesitation.
Orderly retreat and disorderly escape are two completely different concepts.
Of course, the soldiers led by Chen Rui were not as good as the elite commanded by Zhang Xiu and Huang Cheng. If the word "retreat" was simply a word, they would have escaped a disaster. Now Chen Rui said that after he led the central army to suppress, there were cavalry on both wings to support him. Even when facing the closer and closer line of fire, the rest of the soldiers were somewhat stable and retreated in sequence according to the order.
Two thousand soldiers will rush out of a camp gate in a short time. If it is a little confused, it will be a disaster. If it is coupled with the flames rising from behind, it will be like hell.
Fortunately, Chen Rui was not panicked at this moment. He led the central army and always controlled the situation and retreated slowly. Not only was he not much slower, but he slowly settled down the chaotic heart of the entire queue. When he looked back at the flames, it seemed that it was not so terrible.
...
...
The firelight in the distance was projecting, as if half of the sky had already burned. From this direction, you could even see Mars flying in the sky.
Fei Qian stood on the hill, and Huang Cheng stood aside.
Speaking of which, Huang Cheng, as the first general to follow Fei Qian, has always been in a relatively unknown state. He has neither a miraculous record like Taishi Ci, nor a shocking martial arts bravery to turn the tide. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Huang Cheng is just a confidant general who was deliberately promoted by Fei Qian. Except for his surname, Huang, there is nothing to say. However, in fact, Huang Cheng is diligent in training recruits, military system reform, or in the later stabilization of Shangjun guard Pingyang, he is always arrogant without any favor.
It was precisely because of Huang Cheng's personality that Fei Qian specially gave Huang Cheng this opportunity to deal with Xiahou Dun.
That's right, it was Xiahou Dun, not Xiahou Jun.
Over the years, Fei Qian has fought north and south, and has been surrounded by some top strategists and generals. Even if he is taking advantage of the experience package, he can still be upgraded to several levels. So when Fei Qian looks back at Xiahou Dun, who has been in Shandong, he has an advantage similar to that in level.
Xiahou Dun was in Jinyang, Taiyuan, and he could not advance, but he did not retreat. This itself was not in line with common sense.
But this is unreasonable, which reflects the value of Xiahou Dun.
It was like Huang Cheng standing next to Fei Qian.
Three Kingdoms, chaotic times.
In such a chaotic and turbulent era, betrayal and deception have become the most common drama. The children of the gentry who are hypocritical on the contrary have become kowtow worms that can change their positions at any time. The two thousand stone high-ranking officials were drowned in the cessation pit...
The old master-like figures were howling with moral distortion and order was degraded, while the ambitious people were laughing wildly in the flesh-and-blood feast.
The only loyalty is like a flame that will be extinguished at any time in the darkness.
Therefore, Cao Cao was particularly tolerant of Guan Yu. Even if Guan Yu repeatedly rejected him, that was the loyalty that Cao Cao had most hoped for, but he had always lacked. As long as one promise, he would live and die together and never leave him.
Xiahou Dun was undoubtedly Guan Yu was against Liu Bei.
However, what is a little worse than Guan Yu is that in addition to force, Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao are related, and Guan Yu and Liu Bei have no blood relationship, which makes the loyalty of Liu, Guan and Zhang, such as Liu, Guan and Zhang, is extremely precious in a chaotic and morally degraded society.
From this perspective, the reason why Xiahou Dun stayed in Taiyuan is understandable...
In Fei Qian's silence, Huang Cheng couldn't help but speak, "Lord, you really lure the Xiahou clan out!"
Fei Qian nodded, thought for a while and said, "Cao Army is indeed here...but it may not be Xiahou Yuanrang who came..."
"The lord means..." Huang Cheng looked at the fire in the distance, "Cao Jun guessed that we were ambushing?"
Fei Qian smiled, "Xiahou Yuanrang is also a man of a long battle formation. If he can't even guess this, then wouldn't he waste his time over the years? I think what we see now is just Xiahou Yuanrang's forward... Xiahou Yuanrang is invisible behind him. If the forward can win, he will not come out. If the forward loses, when our formation is scattered, we will take advantage of the night to raid our wings..."
Huang Cheng took a breath and bowed and said, "I understand! The team must not be dispersed, the formation must not be messed up, and there is no opportunity for Xiahou to take advantage of!"
Fei Qian nodded and patted Huang Cheng on the shoulder, "Don't be too reserved, and don't be greedy for merit. After this battle, Xiahou Yuanrang was unable to fight again. He had to retreat or defend the enemy... There was still a chance at that time..."
Huang Cheng took the order in a deep voice, then went down the hillside and headed towards the fire in front of him with his men.
...
...
I don’t know if it was nervous or excited, but Xiahou Jun felt that his palms were covered with sweat, so slippery that he could not hold the sword tightly.
The fire caused the war horses to neigh, and under the instinct, it avoided the line of fire from afar, which made Xiahou Jun not have to worry about being attacked by Chen Rui's Hu cavalry when attacking. It only needs to solve Chen Rui's retreating formation, and it can be considered as a great achievement!
All around Jiuze are the slapped grass in autumn and winter, and it is indeed burning quickly, but the problem is that winter has passed and spring has just begun. The number of slapped grass is naturally not as good as that in late autumn. The fire burns faster, but when it is not time to burn, it will be extinguished quickly.
The cold wind quickly blew the ground, which was burning hot, so that only black and gray were flying around.
Xiahou Jun led his men to step on these black and gray and attack Chen Rui's retreating troops.
All the victory is right in front of you!
Chen Rui wanted to avoid the invasion of the fire, so the direction of retreat could only be close to the Jiuze Waterside. The land beside the Jiuze Waterside was dry and wet, which was not easy to walk. So after being caught up, he could only launch defense on the spot.
At the beginning, Xiahou Jun was indeed as powerful as a bamboo shoot.
As the elite Cao army broke out into a gap, the Taiyuan County soldiers who surrendered to Cao army screamed, as if full of hatred for Chen Rui, and moved forward wildly, their morale seemed to be higher than that of the elite Cao army!
This surprised Xiahou Jun, but was more happy.
Some of these Taiyuan surrendered soldiers were like those of the late Ming Dynasty. Perhaps to prove that their choice was not wrong, or perhaps because of the mentality of giving up. In the face of the relatively weaker Xihe County soldiers, they acted more brave than the elite of Cao's army.
These surrendered soldiers rushed up frantically, waving their swords and guns at the soldiers under the same banner before, just like killing these soldiers of Chen Rui, which could cover up or eliminate the shame of their surrender. This phenomenon of bullying compatriots and obtaining self-psychological compensation not only exists in Jinyang, Taiyuan, nor is it the green camp that surrendered to the Qing army, but can even be presented in many middle and lower-level personnel who surrendered to capital in later generations.
To oppress one's own compatriots and insult one's original camp, in order to gain the favor of the invaders, to show that one's knees are weak, it is to adapt to the needs of the times and to respond to the general trend of the world...
With these crazy attacks from Jinyang surrendered soldiers who wanted to prove that they had made the right choice, Chen Rui's defensive front was once in danger, and many Xihe County soldiers failed to survive the first wave of fierce attacks.
The soldiers of Cao's army shouted, trying to force Chen Rui and others into the depths of Jiuze River to oppress Chen Rui and others' space.
Chen Rui is like a battle against the enemy at the moment, only winning, not losing.
Xiahou Jun shouted fiercely, and saw Chen Rui's front shaking and about to collapse, but unexpectedly, he didn't know what Chen Rui called out again, which made the somewhat collapsed front stabilize again!
As Chen Rui organized the shield hand in front, the spearman was in the back line of the shield, giving the injured soldiers a chance to retreat to the inner circle to treat and bandage, and the defense system gradually stabilized. The soldiers were no longer panicked, so the originally chaotic situation gradually began to become orderly, and the Xiahou Jun troops, who were attacking frantically in one breath, seemed a little weak in the subsequent situation...
"Sima!" Xiahou Jun's guard pulled Xiahou Jun and reminded, "Sima, be careful that their cavalry will go back... It's really not possible, so you can't fight for a long time..."
"Bastard!" Xiahou Jun shouted angrily, "How can a real man be afraid of life and death?! In today's battle, only the enemy will live and die!"
It’s a pity that many times, life-threatening results may not be achieved.
