Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2896 Righteousness does not hold wealth, goodness does not become an official

  The sun rose slowly and hung in the sky.

  Like the half-closed eyelids of a compassionate and immobile Buddha.

  The heat of the early morning sun is not high, but it can more or less drive away some of the cold air, and the surroundings also follow the sun and smoke rises from the kitchen.

   The men and horses who were ambushing outside came out lazily from their hiding place, yawning and going back to catch up on sleep.

  When the number of coalition forces in the Western Regions increases, troubles will follow.

  It's like now, the vanguard troops are almost in contact with the Han people, and the people from the Western Region Allied Forces behind are three days away.

  Taksa was also frightened by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun before him, so when he moved forward, he would deliberately leave a part of his troops in ambush at night, waiting for the Han people to come to attack at night.

  Unfortunately not.

  The Han people are really not that stupid.

  In the big tent of Tagusa, a scroll of sheepskin was spread out.

   On the sheepskin, a topographic map of the surrounding area is drawn.

  『This is the military stronghold of the Han people. ”Takesa smiled, raised his right hand, and vacantly covered the parchment scroll, as if he wanted to pinch the military stronghold drawn on the parchment scroll, “I have already sent people to investigate the military camp of the Han people. The village... This Han army village is only a thousand people, compared with us, it is not even a fraction! It's just that when the Han people built the military camp, they put a lot of thought into it... You see, it is a gentle **** from here, and there are two layers of the wall from the front. The inner wall is higher than the outer wall, so if you go up from the front , you will be hit by the inner and outer walls of the Han army camp at the same time...』

  『Then let’s go through the back door! In the military tent, a leader of a state said without thinking.

  『Go through the back door...』

  『I like the back door too! 』

   Immediately, voices of different sizes resounded in the military tent, followed by a burst of laughter.

  Takeza is also smiling, but there is not much warmth in the smile. He knows how powerful the Han people are, but the generals and leaders of these Western Region states have somewhat forgotten.

This is not surprising, not everyone has a cool head, especially when seeing the number of coalition forces in the Western Regions continues to expand, there will always be some people who will swell up. He hated the Buddha.

It’s just that Taxa doesn’t know how to mention these people. If you like to hate them, you can go to them. He is not the parents of these guys. The death of these guys on the battlefield will also help him implement the strategy of unifying the Western Regions. Therefore, Taxa He nodded to the deputy on the side.

Taxa's deputy understood, took a step forward, pointed at the parchment, and said loudly: "The general thinks that we will lose a lot if we directly attack the Han army camp head-on. In order to uphold the Buddha's compassionate will and for the blood of the people in the Western Regions to not be in vain." Liu, our most respectable general suggested that we carry out a feint attack on the front of the Han army stronghold, and then focus on attacking its rear wing. As long as we break through a little bit, we can destroy the overall defense system of the Han people. Once the defense system of the Han people is destroyed, the entire army will be destroyed. The village is naturally in our hands. Let me, instead of the great and benevolent general, explain the specific strategic deployment...』

"First of all, the double wall inside and outside the front of the Han people is very threatening, especially the inner wall, which plays a very critical role in the protection of the entire military camp. When the frontal defense of the Han military camp is in crisis, its inner wall The troops can be supported immediately, the terrain of the inner wall is higher than the outer wall, and our troops are just within the effective range, but once the inner wall is lost, the defensive Han on the outer wall will have no retreat, and we can A condescending attack was made on the Han people on the outer wall. 』

"To reduce our attack resistance against the inner wall, we must attract enough Han people's attention on the outer wall..." the adjutant continued to explain, "All siege wave troops must be prepared, and the false attack troops must really Otherwise, it is easy for the Han people to find out that we are feinting, and all planning will be meaningless! Therefore, after leaving this tent, no one can tell our subordinates that it is a feint attack. If we want to deceive the Han people, we must first hide it from our own people! Whoever leaks the news is the sinner of all the states in the Western Regions! Lord Buddha! 』

  The leaders of the Western Region states in the big tent looked at each other and remained silent.

"The most important thing is the archers. I need to deploy all the archers for unified training and command. When feinting to attack the Han people, use the archers to destroy the Han soldiers on the outer wall, and then attack the flanks of the Han army stronghold. While defending our frontal attack, the Han people did not dare to give up their flanks. They had no choice but to send a reserve army, and we can use archers to consume all the reserve troops of the Han people when they leave their hidden positions. 』

  『At this time, we are raiding the rear of the Han people. The Han people without the reserve team must be caught off guard, and they will definitely be taken down by us in one fell swoop! 』

  『Then... I don’t know the order of attack...how is it arranged? 』The leaders of the various states in the Western Regions looked at each other, and then asked the core question.

  Takesa smiled, but did not speak. His adjutant stared round, "Is there even a need to ask?" At that time, I will lead you to carry out a feint attack. As for the final attack time, of course, our most respected and benevolent general can decide before the battle! 』

  The leaders of the states in the Western Regions were all chattering.

  Someone couldn't help shouting, "Feinting to attack the front, many people will definitely die!" Is this going to blow us away? 』

  『Fight out? The adjutant sneered, "With just a few people in the Han army camp, you will be exhausted?" If you are afraid, you can leave now, but the future victory of the Allied Forces in the Western Regions has nothing to do with you. You have all figured it out! This is for the glory of the Buddha and for the peace of the Western Regions! If everyone just cared about something about themselves...sorry, we don't need such selfish people! 』

The adjutant sang the black face, and of course Takesa came forward and sang the red face, "Don't say that, everyone is for the Buddha, for the Western Regions... What's more, this is a Han, a small, insignificant military camp, with more than a thousand Han people Soldiers, even if they are lost, where can they be lost? If you're scared now, then don't fight in the future! Think about it for yourself, is this the truth? 』

  The leaders of the states in the Western Regions looked at each other, and then said one after another that everything was under the orders of Taxa.

  Takesa stood up, full of pride, "Then it's settled!" Pass on the order to attack the Han army camp tomorrow! Use the blood of the Han people to wash away their sins in the Western Regions! Let the brilliance of Buddha reappear on this land! 』

"Oooo…"

  …ヽ(`З’)ヽ(`З’)ヽ(`З’)…

  Meng Hua stood on the high platform of the military camp, looking at the troops of the Western Regions Allied Forces, with a solemn expression.

After Meng Shu's death, there were different voices in the Meng family. On the one hand, they said that Meng Shu died unjustly, so what, and on the other hand, they said that Meng Shu failed to see the situation clearly, not only killing himself, It also killed many Mengshi children Yunyun.

  Meng Hua also thought about it carefully, and then he found that these two voices are actually correct, but they just have different positions.

  From the standpoint of Montessori, of course we must guard the interests of Montessori, which cannot be divided or reduced, but the question is is there only one Montessori in the world? Even Qin Shihuang, the talented and general Qin Shihuang, did not build up his trust in Mengshi overnight. More importantly, Mengshi showed his loyalty at that time, and also showed his indifference to authority. Meng Shu didn't show it, so how can we talk about letting Hushi, or Jia Xu's unconditional trust?

   Today's Montessori is not as good as it was in the old days of Emperor Qin.

  Behind Meng Hua stood two disciples of the Meng family, one named Meng Jin and the other named Meng Ting.

   There are also the guards on duty in the original military village.

  Now, as the army Sima who came to Menghua, each commanded 500 people, and a total of more than 1,000 people came to support the army.

That's right, the original Menghua's suggestion was to bring three to five hundred people to make a point, and then look at the situation, if it's not right, to retreat immediately, but now it's not three to five hundred people, but doubled, so the taste it's totally different...

   Meng Hua recalled the previous scene in the chamber.

  Even if Menghua came to the military village, he was not sure whether the decision they made was right or wrong.

   Lu Bu wanted to come, but was rejected by everyone.

  Because if Lu Bu is allowed to come, he must be led by Lu Bu, and for Lu Bu, he will not be satisfied with a thousand soldiers...

  Zhang Liao has his own plans and ideas, but Lu Bu is obviously unwilling to follow Zhang Liao's plan.

   Can't agree.

  In the end, the two sides almost fought again. Fortunately, a messenger came and said that the hussars had arrived at Yumen Pass, and brought the orders of the hussars, and officially handed over the military power of Xihai City to Zhang Liao.

  Thus, Lv Bu, who had lost his authority to command the army, left angrily. He just took more than a hundred people directly under him, and went to Yumen Pass to find Hussar General Fei Qian for an explanation, or something else...

  Meng Hua threw away his chaotic thoughts and concentrated on the military affairs in front of him.

  In the army stronghold, all the troops add up to nearly 3,000, and they have all the equipment for defending the city. This already has the confidence to fight against the Western Region coalition forces. With 3,000 people guarding a big city, there will definitely be a shortage of manpower, but for a military stronghold, these numbers are enough.

  Menghua set up a full 1,000 people on the front, and another 500 people were divided into the left and right wings, and 500 people were used as a reserve force.

  In the military camp, the soldiers are nervously and orderly arranging all kinds of ordnance. From time to time, the non-commissioned officers at the lower level yelled, asking the soldiers to move some flammable things to a hidden place, or prepare some water and wet sand.

   There are still some soldiers who are lining up, and then the corporal leader or the chief inspects the equipment such as armor, weapons, etc. one by one.

  In the camp of the army camp, among the temporary huts that have been built, there are several small military officials who are writing some suicide notes to the surrounding soldiers. I don’t know if someone said something, which attracted the laughter of the surrounding soldiers...

  The soldiers in the army camp, after Meng Hua and others came to support them, obviously felt relieved and their emotions were relatively stable.

The coalition forces seem to be all over the mountains and plains, and they seem to be majestic, but in fact, everyone knows that it is impossible for such a number of people to gather at the military camp to fight. There will always be a small number of people who come into contact with the military camp, and the only flaw in the military camp is that if The coalition forces are deployed reasonably, adopting successive waves of attacks...

  However, most of these coalition forces in the Western Regions are herdsmen, can they cooperate with each other tacitly without gaps?

  Yesterday, when the coalition forces from the Western Regions approached, Menghua had already sent a messenger to send a message to Xihai City in the rear.

"Lieutenant, look over there, the coalition logistics camp should be over there..." Meng Jin pointed to a direction in the distance, "There is a lot of cooking smoke over there, very dense, obviously cooking food...I It is estimated that when these barbarians finish eating, they will start their first attack. 』

  Meng Ting also said at the side: "It seems that the barbarian is going to play for real this time... I am really willing to give up these cattle, sheep and horses..."

   Li Si, who was originally the guard of the military marquis in the military village, said fiercely: "These cheap brats, it's probably because the guard didn't hurt them last time!" 』

   Meng Hua nodded slightly.

   On this point, he agrees in principle.

  The last time Lu Bu attacked the Western Regions, he did not kill those city-states that surrendered, so the damage to the power of these states was not serious.

  『The people who came up in the first few waves must be old and weak barbarians,’ Meng Hua ordered. 』

  Meng Jin and the other three nodded in response.

  Meng Hua turned around and said to the three with a serious face: "The coalition forces are aggressive this time. After the first two or three waves of probing, they will inevitably send elites to wait for an opportunity to attack. The attack momentum will definitely be extremely fierce!" You need to be very careful, the barbarian likes to be among the old and the weak, and seize the opportunity to grab the city! Keep some reserve queues at all times, just in case of accidents! 』

  The three of them also responded in awe!

  『Your sons are also cooking food, ready to fight! ”Meng Hua ordered, “Now there are enough reserves in the army camp, even ten days and a half months is no problem! Our task is to attract more attention from the Western Regions Allied Forces. When they relax, we will cooperate with the outside and defeat them in one fell swoop! 』

  Li Si first followed Ermeng for a while, and then asked with some hesitation: "Ah, Captain... Is this the guard who came to help?" 』

   Meng Hua's eyes focused, "What do you mean... what do you want to ask?" 』

  Li Si waved his hands again and again, "I...I don't mean anything!" I just... I just want to know, no, I mean, many sons in the army also want to know, those meritorious deeds... can those meritorious deeds still be counted...』

   Meng Hua fell silent.

   Li Si's head was slightly sweating, and he was at a loss.

"I'm just a school lieutenant..." Meng Hua looked at Li Si and said, "There are some things... What I can only tell you is that we stand firm here, Xihai City is our backup, and Hussars have also arrived at Yumen Pass. Hussars are all People's back-up... Hussars didn't say it was counted, so they counted! So, understand? 』

   Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then exhaled, "Understood!" Understood! 』

   Meng Hua waved his hand, "Then go get busy. 』

  Li Si nodded repeatedly, and then backed away.

  Meng Ting turned his head to watch Li Si walk down the high platform, and then whispered: "Captain...do you want to..."

  Meng Hua was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Now is the time to unite as one, and it may be inappropriate to act rashly. Besides... As a soldier, if he lost his meritorious service in a **** battle, what else could he expect? 』

   There are only two types of troops that do not use military merit, but are maintained by faith, the best and the worst.

  The best thing is that everyone has the same beliefs from top to bottom, the same high degree of philosophy, the same level of action, the same basic necessities of life, the top takes the lead, and naturally has a strong combat effectiveness.

The worst ones are like the Yellow Turban Thieves, or like the current Allied Forces of the Western Regions. Although there is an army formed by the name of the gods and Buddhas, it is indeed an army formed because of beliefs, but the people at the bottom eat grass, and the people at the top eat meat. When I shouted, I represented the gods and Buddhas to let me go first, and I ordered you to come to me when I encountered problems...

  The Han army in the Western Regions is naturally not the best, nor is it the worst. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with valuing meritorious service, and it is not worth being particularly nervous about it.

   Menghua even felt a little emotional...

   These ordinary soldiers of the Western Regions, do they value more the person who protects Lu Bu, or the merits accumulated in the Western Regions?

Then what?

  Meng Hua didn't dare to think deeply, but refocused on the Western Region coalition forces in front of him...

  …(o▽)o…

   Among the allied forces of the Western Regions in the distance, Taxa and Busen stood together, looking at the Han army camp.

  Sometimes, life is so wonderful.

   One thought of life, one thought of death.

  Although it is said that the Allied Forces of the Western Regions are ready to shoot, as long as they have not been shot, there is still a second choice.

  Bu Sen looked back.

   In the distance, herdsmen are queuing up to receive the food distributed before going into battle.

   Indeed, as Meng Hua expected, most of the herdsmen who lined up were older.

  These older herdsmen will meet death first, consume the armaments and strength of the Han people, and leave more hope of life to their descendants.

  Is this a characteristic of nomads?

   No, it's human nature.

  The same is true for the Han people. Even in later generations, it is common to see parents go bankrupt to save their children, but it is rare to see children go bankrupt to save their parents.

  If Busen is not the incarnation of Buddha, not a respected master, then according to his current age, then he should also be among the ranks of these older herdsmen, and this may be the last meal in their lives.

  Cooking smoke curls up to the blue sky.

   It was low and thick, but when it was in the middle of the sky, when it was blown by the wind, it was skewed and became invisible in a blink of an eye.

   Busen looked at the situation over there, looking at those old shepherds, silent, just like those Buddha statues, maybe they will still be silent for thousands of years.

  『Master, you...are you pitying them? ”Taksa glanced at Busen, “Let’s take a closer look at the Han army camp in front of us!” The sooner we capture the army stronghold, the less we can die. 』

  Bu Sen turned his head, "General, you have never...I mean, you have been a general since the beginning, is that the way you are?" 』

  Takesa laughed, and then showed some complacency on his face, "This general, of course I won it!" Except for those children who go to the parliament, who can be born as a general waiting for him to be a general? ! Master, in our Guishuang, there is a saying...』

   Busen asked: "What is it?" 』

  『If you are afraid of the dead, you cannot become a general! "Takesa said firmly, "On the battlefield, people will die, so it is better to die the old ones first, or let the young ones die first?" I don't need to say much, do I? 』

  Bu Sen exhaled a breath. Although he knew that there were many problems in what Tagusa said, it did give Busen an excuse to ease his emotions.

  Takesa saw the change in Busen's expression, and laughed, "Master, may I bother you now?" Go and tell them, for the Buddha, for the blessings, for their children and grandchildren...dedicate your life! Go and beat down the Han army stronghold! 』
