Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127

In the west of Runan, next to the official road.

Crescent Stream.

From Shangcai to the west, it is a necessary road to enter Dingying County. The surrounding mountains are winding and continuous. There is only a small mountain stream that can pass by, but the shape of the mountain stream is like a crescent. , It is easy to come in and difficult to get out, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At noon, a red sun hung above the sky, the sun was shining, and there were no clouds in the sky.

Under the sun, in this mountain stream, there is a group of remnants of soldiers lingering on their last days.

"How long is it to Dingying County?" Mu Shan rode his horse and walked in the middle, staring ahead, and asked.

"There should be fifty miles to go!"

Li Yan replied.

"This place is a bit dangerous, so hurry up and get to Dingying as soon as possible, join Jingping camp, and rush out of Runan!" Mu Shan said through gritted teeth.

A few days ago, they were united in attacking Ge Po.

But times are changing too fast.

Suddenly, Huang Shao's troops came out like a storm, and they were completely blinded. If Jiang Lu hadn't been careful and deployed a troop on the flanks when setting up the formation, they might have been completely wiped out by this time. up.

Although they woke up quickly, because of Huang Meng's greed, they lost the earliest opportunity to withdraw their troops, fought a chaotic battle, severely injured their vitality, and finally escaped in a hurry.

Although he escaped from Ge Po, Gong Du and Huang Shao's troops kept chasing him.

"Marshal Mu, although this place is dangerous, but the mountain stream is empty inside and you can rest for a while, but the front and back are narrow. As long as you deploy a certain amount of troops, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be blocked for a while. Why don't we rest on the spot!"

General Zhou Cang was already injured, a wound on his left arm that was more than [-] inches long was wrapped with a white cloth strip, and the blood seeping inside could still be seen on the cloth strip, but he didn't care at all, and galloped away.

"Master, we must rest!"

Cheng Luo also came up immediately, and said to Mu Shan: "After running for three days, our soldiers not only died countless battles, but also died of exhaustion on the road. Everyone's physical strength has been exhausted!"

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" Mu Shan now trusts Jiang Lu very much, pondered for a while, and asked the military adviser Jiang Lu.

"Marshal Mu, it's better to take a break and replenish your strength. If you escape like this, you won't be able to escape them. Once you are caught up, you can only be slaughtered!"

Jiang Lu was dressed in a long robe, but he no longer had a graceful temperament. After fleeing for three consecutive days, he was not only tired, but also embarrassed.

"The order is that Leihu Denghong will lead the Pioneer Battalion and the Pingshan Battalion to guard the entrance of the mountain stream ahead. The rest of the battalion soldiers should rest on the spot. We will rest for half a day!" Mu Shan jumped off his horse, looked at the blue sky with his eyes, and then looked back. The current appearance of each of the soldiers under his command, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he responded.

"promise!"

The generals led the way.

"Finally can rest!"

"Both legs are broken!"

"I don't know if I can escape from Runan!"

"We lost too badly!"

"How many people have died? If Wuyin Renyi hadn't rescued us, I'm afraid we would all have died!"

"Master Lieutenant is dead!"

"Hmph, if it wasn't for the captain's arbitrariness to delay the timing of withdrawing troops, how could we have ended up in this world!"

"..."

All the soldiers sat down immediately when they heard the order. In the past three days, they didn't even have a chance to catch their breath. They rested for less than three hours, and one hour a day was not enough. After stopping, the soldiers who still had some strength began to vent their grievances.

In this battle, they suffered an unprecedented defeat.

Mu Shan walked up to a big rock and sat down too. He turned over the robe under his battle armor, scarlet blood emerged, and he was also injured. Originally, with his martial arts, not many people could hurt him, but in When withdrawing troops, in order to be able to cover, he single-handedly attacked Gepo, beheaded more than ten Jiangs in a row, and forced the Yellow Turbans to retreat, so that the Nanyang Army could save a certain amount of strength and rush out. Otherwise, I am afraid that this Nanyang army There are only a few left.

"Lieutenant Zhang County, how is your injury?" A man dressed as a scholar in the army came over and looked at Mu Shan's battle armor, and he could naturally see some blood seeping through.

"Liu Juncheng, don't worry about me, I'm fine!"

Mu Shan patted the battle armor, and a smile appeared on his square face: "It's just a small injury, and I can't die!"

"I'm sorry for you in this battle!"

This scribe is Liu Jin, the Prime Minister of Nanyang County. Liu Jin sat beside him, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said, "If I can hold Huang Meng down, I will obey your orders immediately and retreat immediately. The Nanyang army will not be defeated so badly!"

The situation of that battle in the past few days is still vivid in Liu Jin's mind.

In that battle, the Nanyang army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and fought to the end with the Gepo Yellow Turbans. Captain Huang Meng went into battle in person and stormed Gepo. Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army in Gepo Township could not hold on, an accident happened.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, Mushan's Wuyin soldiers had already set up a line of defense on the flanks and discovered the Yellow Turban Army in time. As long as they can withdraw, they can cross the Rushui River and return to Guanyang City to preserve their strength.

But Huang Meng was greedy for military exploits, thinking that Mushan wanted to fight for merit, so he didn't listen at all, and delayed the opportunity to withdraw his troops.

In the end, it almost caused their entire army to be wiped out.

Even Huang Meng himself was beheaded by Huang Jinqu Shuai Gong.

But at this time of crisis, it was Mushan who was brave and invincible. With one hammer and one horse, no one dared to kill the Yellow Turban Army. He withdrew his troops for three miles and did not dare to chase them, so he gave them a slight chance to escape, otherwise they would have died. Ge Po was all killed in battle.

However, there were more than 3 Nanyang troops, and the number of soldiers and horses that could escape in the end was only more than [-]. Except for the Wuyin soldiers who preserved the main force, almost all the county soldiers died in battle, and more than half of the county soldiers in each county were killed or injured. Less than eight thousand.

"A defeat is a defeat!"

Mu Shan said indifferently: "I don't blame anyone, I can only blame the inability to control the military power!"

If he was the main general, he would not have ended up in such a fate.

But in fact he is not the main general.

"Lieutenant Zhang County, I can't forgive my guilt. It is said in the book that if the generals disagree, they will lose on the battlefield. I didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but now I know that one army cannot have two commanders. My incessant hesitation led to the current situation. At the beginning, I should have directly given you the military power instead of choosing to check and balance you. This is my fault. I will give you an explanation, but today, I ask you for one thing matter!"

Liu Jin bowed his head and said heavily.

"Say!"

"I'll hand them over to your commander, and you take them all out, okay?"

Liu Jin looked at the Nanyang soldiers who were in a daze, and said in a low voice: "We are all our Nanyang soldiers. If there is a mistake in this battle, I should bear it as an official. I shouldn't let them die. Now entrust them to you, and please take them out!"

In addition to Wuyin soldiers and Deng Hong's Pingshan battalion, there are more than 2 Nanyang soldiers, but after the First World War, there are only about [-] left. Some county lieutenants have even died in battle, and they are in a mess. They have no desire to fight, and now they are under the command of Liu Jin.

But Liu Jin knew that as a scribe, he couldn't suppress these generals, nor could he bring them out.

If there is one person who can lead them out, then this person must be Mu Shan.

So now he wants to give military power to Mushan.

It's a little late, but it's better to make up for it than to know the mistake and not correct it.

"Liu Juncheng, you want to hand over the military power to me? Do you know who I am?"

Mu Shan was a little surprised and asked back.

"Zhang Chuan, Wuyin county captain!" Liu Jin said firmly.

"Wrong, I'm Mushan, Shuai Qu from Nanyang Yellow Turban!"

Mu Shan looked at Liu Jin, and said in a deep voice: "This is an identity that Zhang Zi will never let go of, and it is also an identity that I will never change. Even if I put on a layer of sheep's clothing, in your hearts, I am still a wolf. Day, either I am against you, or you are against me. If you hand them over to me and get them into my hands, you will naturally be unable to get out. No matter whether I can escape or not, you may end up dead in the end! "

If they can't escape, naturally everyone will die together.

If they escaped by chance, after returning to Nanyang, Zhang Zi knew that Liu Jin, whom he trusted so much, would be furious and even kill him if he sent [-] soldiers and horses to him.

"Of course I know!"

Liu Jin smiled sadly and said: "But I have no choice. If they can't belong to your command, they can't escape. Even if Wuyin soldiers can escape, they can't escape. There are enough soldiers in Nanyang. Now, there are more than 8000 sons, I can't just watch them throw their lives here, at such a critical moment, how can I disregard the lives of others because of personal safety!"

This is the character of a scholar.

"You make me admire!" Mu Shan sighed, and said, "I promise you, as long as I live, I will never give up a single one!"

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said, "If I can get out alive, I will repay this kindness!"

"Marshal Mu, the Yellow Turban Army has entered from outside the mountain stream!" The scout came to report.

"Catch up in less than half an hour!"

Mu Shan stood up, loosened his bones, and said, "I'll go meet them for a while, if I don't kill them for a while, maybe I really can't escape Dingying City!"

…………

Outside the mountain stream, battle flags staggered one after another, like a yellow sky covering, countless soldiers and horses lined up, with awe-inspiring aura.

"Archer, go!"

"kill!"

"The shield soldiers stepped forward and rushed in!"

"..."

The soldiers of the Yellow Turbans were charging, but unfortunately the entrance of the mountain stream was so big that they could only sustain the charge of more than a dozen soldiers.

"Mu Shan must die. If he doesn't die, I'm uneasy!" Gong Du rode his horse forward, looking ahead coldly.

"Can you surrender?"

Huang Jinqu Shuai Huang Shao is a literati, less than forty years old, with a gentle manner, but his eyes are as cold as a poisonous snake: "Such a fierce man, how can we not use him!"

It has been planned for many years just to surprise the imperial court.

I thought they would directly deal with the officers and soldiers at Gepo in this battle, to frighten the court, but they didn't expect to meet a Mushan, and the bravery of Mushan would require Huang Shao and Gong Du to join forces in order to resist, and he would fight out alone. A bloody path was opened, and a gap was opened in their encirclement.

"Disaster!"

Gong Du shook his head: "This person has already turned his back on the great virtuous teacher and our idea of ​​a peaceful world. He is the eagle dog of the imperial court. He cannot be forgiven. He must be killed soon!"

He was afraid. After all, there was a lot of grudges between him and Mushan. In Gepo's battle, he went into battle in person and joined forces with Huang Shao, but he couldn't keep Mushan behind.

"It's a pity!" Huang Shao sighed, and could only harden his heart: "In this case, we can only kill this person, but let's not forget our strategy!"

"Of course, when we formed an alliance, we swore an oath in front of the great virtuous and good teachers, and we will advance and retreat together, fix Runan, Tunanyang, and Jiujiang, and lay the foundation for the great cause of the Yellow Turban. If we break the oath, we will be punished by heaven!"

Gong Du said: "I remember, as long as we successfully take Runan, I will send troops to attack Nanyang with you!"

"I'm afraid this pastoral mountain is not easy to deal with. If we continue to pursue it like this, we will waste time!" Huang Shao said, "If the court reacts, it will definitely send troops south, and going to Runan is not safe, so you don't have to be afraid of Liu Pi and the others. Eat it from behind, Runan is so big, two people is better than four people, you have to be careful!"

Among the Yellow Turban Army, there is not a group of harmony.

It is not surprising that the four commanders each command troops and horses, fighting for the sake of territory.

"I know Brother Huang is cautious, and I'm not bad either, I've already made plans!"

Gong Du said: "From the west of Gepo, I set up a camp at eighty miles away, stationed thousands of troops, and stretched for hundreds of miles. The western part of Runan has already fallen into my hands. Liu Pi, He Man and the others are now facing Ruyin Capital. Difficulty, how dare you stab me in the back, so even if he Mushan fled to Nanyang today, we can chase him away, I don't worry about the future!"
