Three Kingdoms

At any time, you must place your hope in your own strength, rather than in the goodwill of others.

Just like this strategy, Xiahou Dun did not do anything wrong overall. The most critical factor was that Xiahou Dun was not strong enough, or at this extreme, Fei Qian's strength surpassed Xiahou Dun's side.

Normally, cavalry cannot attack a city. This is common sense in military affairs. But the problem is that Fei Qian used cavalry to conquer Luoyang and then captured Yangcheng Village!

If Luoyang is far away after all, and Li Dian was defeated after leaving the city, which is more or less true, then the attack on the Yangcheng cottage undoubtedly broke Xiahou Dun's original psychological advantage and caused Xiahou Dun to fall into a process of self-doubt and self-denial. among.

In fact, it was impossible for Fei Qian to carry an unlimited amount of gunpowder, let alone blast all the way from Yangcheng to Xu County. After all, the power of this gunpowder at this stage is limited. Even the black powder with precise proportions in later generations had only mediocre effects against sandbags and masonry until the birth of TNT. Therefore, for example, when dealing with a purely wooden door like a copycat, and without much defense, the destructive power is naturally amazing, but when it comes to dealing with the Yangcheng City Wall Gate, the effect may not be very ideal.

Therefore, it is actually impossible for Fei Qian to directly use gunpowder to blow up the city gate of Yangcheng. However, the problem lies in the asymmetry of information between the two parties. Xiahou Dun cannot confirm that Fei Qian will not do this!

Xiahou Dun could only deal with the worst situation, filling up the doorway, and then trying to lure Fei Qian to attack Yangcheng. On the one hand, he could hold Fei Qian back, and on the other hand, he would risk his own life to consume Fei Qian's combat power! But when Xiahou Dun discovered again that Fei Qian didn't follow his plan at all, he became somewhat panicked. For example, this is like a gambling table with a million bets. For some people, it may be a lifetime of struggle and hard work, and for others, it may be just a few days. Pocket money and psychological pressure are not equal at all...

If Xiahou Dun clings to Yangcheng regardless, it may be a safe countermeasure. It is a pity that Xiahou Dun is for Cao Cao, just like Guan Yu is for Liu Bei. He would rather sacrifice himself than damage Cao Cao, so Xiahou Dun can only continue He raised and reraised, and finally lost the chips he should have had on the gaming table.

Yangcheng City Gate is double. There is an urn between the inner and outer city walls, but it is not round, but slightly square. The inner and outer city gates are not on a central axis. After entering the outer city gate, you have to Pass through the roughly square square of Wengcheng diagonally before reaching the inner city gate. During this process, the attacker will have to bear fire coverage from all directions!

The design is indeed exquisite, but it is a pity that it was not put to use.

Fei Qian raised his head and looked at the three-color battle flag that had been completely replaced on the top of the city. He felt a little emotional. The defense system built by Xiahou Dun was not bad, but he encountered his own naughty child...

It doesn't hurt at all that the son loses his father's family property. This sentence is really a wise saying, and it will never be out of date in any dynasty!

"Xiahou's son wants to see his lord..." Xun You said from the side.

Fei Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No." If he keeps to himself, then he won't kill him! "The fewer naughty children on your side, the better, but the naughty children on the enemy's side are just like treasures. They must be taken good care of and preserved. There is no guarantee when there will be a second income."

But when it comes to meeting, just forget about it, just in case Fei Qian can't help it...

Xun You nodded and turned to one side to deal with related matters. Xun You has also been in Cao's army for many years and is very familiar with the structure and system of Cao's army. He is also somewhat familiar with the soldiers and civilians who have returned to Yangcheng, and he seems to be able to do it with ease, which makes Fei Qian worry-free.

However, Xia Houchong can be seen or not, but there are some people that Fei Qian must meet...

…(??·Д·)”…

Guo Jia's inner thigh was abraded and the pain was unbearable, so he had to stop and take a rest. After all, Guo Jia was not a soldier accustomed to galloping on horseback. Although he had a piece of leather as a cushion, his delicate parts had never experienced such high-intensity friction. After galloping continuously for several hours, he finally came from The blood blisters developed to the point where the flesh and blood were blurred...

Guo Jia sat under a big tree and tried his best to spread his feet to both sides. Although such an action would make his legs, feet, tendons, etc. comfortable, it would inevitably pull the wound on his thigh, and another burst of soreness rushed through him. Brain, Guo Jia couldn't help but groan.

If it were an ordinary soldier, the team leader would most likely be ruthless, tie the person on a horse, and run directly to the destination before dealing with it. As for whether the soldier's legs will be reborn after the ordeal, or will be completely destroyed. It depends on the fate of this soldier, but now that he is Guo Jia, naturally he cannot be treated like an ordinary soldier.

Cao Jun also had medicine for wounds, but the effect was only average.

In fact, there are many things that human beings have that were forced out by war, ranging from small things like medicine to large things like nuclear energy. Cao Jun's wound medicine was still in the exploratory stage, and naturally it was not as effective as the wound medicine distributed by Fei Qian's soldiers who stood on the shoulders of later generations to find it.

So even though Guo Jia was given medicine for his injuries, he still felt that his legs were burning, and even his muscles seemed to be trembling. Even though his subjective consciousness wanted to stand up and continue on his way, the pain in his thighs categorically rejected it, and he was unwilling to go to work. Contribute. Guo Jia struggled two or three times, and was about to give a serious order for help. He tied up his horse and drove on like an ordinary soldier, but he heard a few slightly strange sounds...

Suddenly, several black shadows jumped out from the woods. There were some branches and leaves and long grass swaying on the black shadows, like ferocious beasts. Guo Jia was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream. Then he realized that these were not ferocious beasts. But the scouts who were rumored to belong to the Cavalry General!

Among Cao Jun, there have long been rumors about these elite scouts of General Hussars. However, due to the constraints of the times, there are still many people who do not understand what bionics is, let alone why wearing some grass and branches can confuse their eyes. Even Guo Jia himself asked people to hold branches and lie down in the grass. As a result, he could easily see the figures of the people among them, so he didn't think that the so-called branches growing grass had any effect. He thought it was all a rumor passed down by soldiers on the front line, or something. It's an exaggeration. After all, there were rumors that Fei Qian had a green face and fangs, and he had to eat people's livers before he could eat...

It wasn't until I suddenly saw the Cavalry Scout jumping out that I realized that this disguise was really effective. At least when I was sitting under this tree and resting in front of this small forest, I didn't notice anything. abnormal!

The next second, the thought that emerged in Guo Jia's mind was not his own safety, but the problem of Yangcheng and Xu County! This place is already close to Yangcheng, so normally it should be within the scope of Xiahou Dun's command. But the problem is that we encountered Hussar scouts here, which means that either Yangcheng may have been besieged, and the soldiers and horses in the city cannot leave. Either that...

Before Guo Jia could say anything, a face with patterns painted on it had already come in front of Guo Jia. Immediately, the painted face grinned and seemed to be smiling. Then a gust of evil wind hit Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's head was buzzing. Suddenly, the world in front of him started to spin, and finally he fell into darkness.

……(*ˉ︶ˉ*)……

Ling Jie stretched out his hand to detect Guo Jia's breath, and shook the mallet in his hand with satisfaction. This thing is still easy to use. Although it has no cutting edge and is insufficient in terms of lethality, this has some disadvantages in some cases. It is very suitable under the circumstances, such as now.

"Tie them up!" gone! 』

Ling Jie didn't know who he had captured, but from the diligent attitude of Cao's soldiers, Ling Jie also judged that Guo Jia must be a big shot, just like the snipers on the battlefield in later generations who would shoot first the person who was saluted by the soldiers. The target was the same, and Ling Jie also felt that his trip was worthwhile.

……(⌒^⌒)……

The shaking of his body made Guo Jia's consciousness slightly clearer, but when he barely opened his eyes and looked around, he felt that the whole world was upside down. The shadows of the four legs of the war horse were dancing in front of him, and small pieces of bouncing mud were dancing in front of him. It seemed that he was about to be hit on the head. Along with the pain on the back of his head, Guo Jia realized that he seemed to be tied to the horse's butt like cargo, and the internal organs between the chest and abdomen were about to spurt out from his mouth. Likewise, the wound on the thigh seems to be less painful, because the more painful place is on the head...

The lowered head caused blood congestion, which also prevented Guo Jia from staying awake for long. The next moment, before the dim night fell, Guo Jia fell into a coma again.

When Guo Jia woke up again, he saw Fei Qian with a half-smiling face.

His head still hurt, Guo Jia couldn't help but groaned, and then reached out to touch his head. Only then did he discover two things. One was that his head and thighs seemed to have been re-bandaged and replaced. clothes, and I should be in the lobby of Yangcheng...

"Where is Xiahou Yuanrang?" ” Guo Jia endured the pain and asked.

Fei Qian shook his head and said, "I wanted to keep him, but Yuan Rang... made Cheng feel ashamed and insisted on leaving..."

Guo Jia lowered his eyelids, as if the pain in his head and body was unbearable, and he twitched his cheeks, "Yuan Rang must have fallen into the trap accidentally and left the city, so that you can get it..."

Fei Qian laughed twice. It seemed that Guo Jia's head was okay and he was not beaten stupid by Ling Jie. He nodded and said: "Fengxiao is not bad as expected... But, Fengxiao, since you are If you are not good at martial arts, why bother coming here? If it weren't for a certain subordinate to be merciful, wouldn't he hesitate? "Yangcheng is almost the same as the front line. On the front line, a counselor who is not good at martial arts will definitely not be as comfortable as in the rear. Fei Qian asked this. On the one hand, he sighed, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find out through Guo Jia's reaction. Some things about Xu County, after all, Guo Jia must know the situation in Xu County very well.

Although Guo Jia may not spill the beans, what if it happens?

It’s okay to try, right?

Guo Jia smiled and struggled to sit upright. He did not answer directly, but said, "Is there any water?" Can I give you a bowl? 』

Fei Qian glanced at Huang Xu. Huang Xu understood, nodded, took off the water bag hanging from his waist, and threw it in front of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia picked up the water bag and drank a few sips. Then he couldn't help but let out a water burp, then put it down with a smile and said: "The Hussars took Yangcheng in just one day!" 』

『? Fei Qian... then saw the water bag in Guo Jia's hand, and couldn't help but frowned. This guy, he hadn't gotten anything from his mouth, but he had clarified some situations.

Water bladders are a necessity in marching operations. There is no problem with this. Whether it is Fei Qian, Cao Cao, or Hu people, when metal can also be used as currency, it is unlikely to use copper kettles, iron kettles, tin aluminum The pot is used as a portable object to store and transport water. One of the bamboo tubes and wooden tubes is heavy, and the other is that the capacity is much smaller than that of a water bladder made of cowhide, so it is not very convenient.

However, the cowhide water bladder has a flaw, that is, it tastes bad and cannot be stored for a long time. After all, there is still a gap between the leather nitration technology of the Han Dynasty and the large-scale industry of later generations. The water poured into the water bladder, even if it is originally clear and sweet spring water, will change the taste of the water after three days due to bacterial growth, leather penetration, etc...

If Fei Qian has occupied Yangcheng for some time, then as the commander of the entire army, it is impossible for him to drink water from this water bag all day long. Even if the original servants cannot be used in the backyard, the guards can boil water or something. It’s not too difficult. The second thing is that the water in this water bag generally tastes good, so it shouldn’t be stored for long...

Of course, there may be accidents. For example, Fei Qian has a quirk and likes the smell of water bladders...

Fei Qian laughed and didn't hide anything anymore. He said simply: "Fengxiao is as expected!" If Fengxiao had come one day earlier...it's a pity that Fengxiao wore simple clothes, spared no effort in traveling, worked hard, and still..."

Guo Jia also laughed. It seemed that the smile pulled at the injured area, and soon turned into a grin. He gently touched the injured area that was still swollen even though it was wrapped, and said: " In the past there was Chen Buzhan, today there should be Guo Fengxiaoer..."

Chen Buzhan?

Fei Qian frowned slightly.

If it were left to future generations, Chen Buzhan would probably be sprayed by the keyboard warrior, come back to life after death, and then die again with anger...

Because Chen Buzhan’s matter is actually quite interesting to talk about. Chen Buzhan was from the Qi State. Hearing that his king was in trouble, he decided to help. However, when he was eating before leaving, he was so scared that his food dropped to the ground. His hands were shaking when he got into the chariot. It was almost impossible to climb up.

The soldier driving the truck said, "Why go to the front line if you are so scared?" Even if you go, what can a bird like you do?

Chen Buzhan said: "The dead king is righteous and has no courage to be selfish. He should not harm the public with his private interests." 』

In the end, Chen Buzhan went to the front line. But when Chen Buzhan arrived at the battlefield, he saw the cruelty and bloodshed on the battlefield. He was scared to death without doing anything...

In ancient times, such a person basically maintained a positive evaluation, but for many network keyboard warriors in later generations, there were too many things to criticize, and naturally he gradually became a negative example.

Guo Jia may not mean to ridicule himself when he says this, but the problem is that Fei Qian feels that the meaning is not simple...

(Come on, I’ve been reading this book for so long. Regarding the meaning of dialogue between nobles, I should have some AC calculations. It’s an open-book exam...)
