[Chapter 057] The big man shakes
In the sixth year of Zhongping, Ma Teng raised 60,000 troops to attack Chang'an and other places. Marquis Wu Zhao raised 30,000 troops to march to the north and attack Youfufeng.
In early January, Chang'an guard Zhang Fei led his troops to flee to Tongguan.
In mid-January, Marquis Wu Zhao conquered Xinping and Wugong in three days, taking command of Wugong and looking in all directions.
At the end of January, Tongguan guard Yan Rou took advantage of the empty city and withdrew his troops from Tongguan and stationed himself in Dayang.
Seven days later, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others led their troops to pursue them and fought fiercely with Yan Rou outside Dayang City. Zhang Fei, a general under Wu Zhaohou, was seriously injured. The next day, Yan Rou once again used the empty city strategy to lure the enemy deep into the city, and burned the city with fire from the sky.
In Yangcheng, more than ten thousand Xiliang troops, thousands of people, and Han Sui's general Li Kan and others were burned in Dayang City. The smell of burning could be smelled for three days.
When the news spread, the big man was completely shocked.
...
One day and one night passed, and finally, the first spring rain came, hitting the faintly extinguished flames.
The entire main street, North Street, even South Street, and some parts of West Street have become a charred ruins, with corpses whose faces have long been unrecognizable, lying in a mess, either looking up to the sky or struggling, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Creepy!
Ma Teng and others did not dare to make any further stops. They led their troops and horses and retreated directly towards Chang'an. The only ones left behind were Yan Rou and others.
"It's done!" Yan Rou breathed a long sigh of relief, raised her head to the sky, and said with a smile: "The Xiliang army has been defeated!"
Tian Yu stroked his chin and smiled and echoed: "From now on, you have a place among the world's famous generals!"
"Conspiracy, treacherous villain!" Xia Houyuan didn't know when he came over under surveillance. When he saw Yan Rou, he started to curse angrily.
Hearing this, Yan Rou slowly turned around and smiled calmly at Xia Houyuan: "Soldiers are deceitful. History books will only record that I defeated the Xiliang army, and treated the Xiliang army as a fool, and planned a big battle step by step.
Winner! If you don't know how to write, you will be despicable and scheming!"
Xia Houyuan didn't expect that Yan Rou would say this. His tone suddenly stopped, his face turned red, and he was speechless!
"What General Yan Rou said is true, I admire you!" I don't know when Mao Jie also walked out. In the light rain, his expression looked a bit complicated. It can be said that this war was misjudged at the beginning.
It was Yan Rou's ability that led to such a miserable defeat!
If we could have understood Yan Rou's personality early, be wary of Yan Rou, and deal with it carefully, we would not have been unable to attack Tongguan for a long time, which gave Yan Rou the opportunity to arrange the overall situation. If we could understand Yan Rou's personality, we would have been able to
It will not fall into the opponent's empty city plan, allowing the opponent to retreat safely, and setting the stage for what will happen next, if...
Everything is lost. Now tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army are buried in this sea of fire. Tens of thousands of grain and grass are burned. Ma Teng has no chance to make a comeback. Even if he can escape the disaster of Wu Zhaohou, it is impossible.
There is a chance for a comeback!
...
Time flies by...
Yun Ye was sitting at the top of the table, holding the official document that had just been sent to him. He rubbed his brows in distress and threw the document to Jia Xu who was sitting next to him: "Take a look!"
"Ma Teng, Han Sui was defeated?!" Jia Xu took the official document and stared: "This Yan Rou is really a famous general. He works step by step to lure the enemy deeper. Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
"You only saw Ma Teng, did Han Sui lose?" Yun Ye said in a cold voice.
At this time, Guo Jia had already received the official document and said tentatively: "Master, are you talking about the thousands of people in Dayang City?"
Hearing this, Yun Ye nodded heavily, a look of worry flashing through his eyes. At this moment, I'm afraid the cruel and ruthless man is about to take his place!
Guo Jiadao: "My lord, you don't have to worry about this. When the horses marched across the state and massacred the city, the people of the world already thought that my lord was a cruel and unkind king. In this case, if you burn it this time, you will burn it! Why do you have to think otherwise?
?!"
Jia Xu also said: "I also believe that it is enough for the people under my lord's command to think that my lord is a wise master. As for what others think, why should my lord think too much?!"
"There are only thousands of common people. Every time the Qiang people rebel, there are more than thousands of casualties. In the eyes of the general, the lord has really gone too far!" Yan Xing ate a piece of meat in his hand and said, "Let this fire go down.
The general actually feels that it is extremely beneficial to the lord!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, his heart moved and he said angrily: "Yan Xing, what do you mean, do you still agree with the lord to hurt innocent people?!"
"Just this once!"
Yan Xing did not express his anger towards Zhao Yun, but put down the piece of meat and said in a deep voice: "In this Sili and Bingzhou area, the folk customs are strong and fierce. This time, Yan Rou, together with thousands of people, planned to kill tens of thousands of people."
The Xiliang army was buried in the sea of fire! Not only will it not cause unrest in Sili and Bingzhou, but the Qiang people will appreciate the lord. After all, in Bingzhou and Sili, the law of the jungle is supreme!"
Guo Jia touched his palm and said with a smile: "I think what Yan Xing said is true. Maybe if the fire goes down, some Qiang people will come back to join the lord!"
Jia Xu took over the conversation and said: "There are not many forces in the Sili area. Now that Yan Rou has defeated the Xiliang army, it can be said that Sili is famous. If we take this opportunity to attack the Sili area, we will definitely conquer it in one fell swoop.
If we send a large army to guard it, wouldn't it be great to merge the prefectures, connect the divisions and the tribunals, and control the northern frontier?!"
Hearing this, Yun Ye said in a condensed voice: "Since that's the case, I'll act like this. However, there is Liu Hong behind that piece of embroidery. If I raise the flag and shout, won't I become the target of public criticism?!"
"No! No! No!" Jia Xu said "no" three times in a row before stroking his beard and saying: "My lord will not be the target of public criticism, but Liu Hong will be the target of public criticism. Although he has found his way back, he wants to work hard to cure.
He wanted to revive the Han Dynasty's military ambitions, but because he had lived in the palace for a long time, he lacked tempering and did not know how powerful it was. The world has reached such a point that the princes and powers can tolerate the existence of a puppet emperor, but they cannot tolerate the existence of a real emperor!"
Guo Jia said solemnly: "Wen He said, just like the collapse of the Qin Dynasty in the past, the eighteen princes jointly attacked the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, and only after the Qin Dynasty fell, they went to war separately! The imperial court with its orthodox status, in
In the eyes of the princes, this is the real trouble!"
Hearing this, Yun Ye thought about it for a while before nodding his head and saying, "That's true! By the way, how is Pang De? Are you ready to surrender?!"
"Lord, what a joke!" When Pound was mentioned, Jia Xu suddenly smiled bitterly: "When I mentioned Ma Teng's defeat to that guy, instead of making him surrender, it actually made him even more angry!"
"Yu Zhong!" Yun Ye frowned and cursed secretly, waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's break up and get ready to march to Huaili!"
"The final general (subordinate) resigns!"
...
Dongjun, Cao Cao's residence.
Cao Cao walked around the hall with an extremely ugly look on his face. Even Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and others had worried expressions on their faces. After a while, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu solemnly: "Zhongde, is that Yan Rou, seriously?"
Caught Xiaoxian and Miaocai?!"
"This news should be credible!" Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "After all, even Ma Teng and others were defeated, so it is very possible for Xiaoxian and the others to be caught!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately pawed anxiously and said: "Then what should we do now?!"
On the other side, Cao Ren, who had been training his troops and knew nothing about anything, asked: "My lord, Ma Teng and others have an absolute advantage, how could they suddenly lose?!"
"That guy Yan Rou is too cunning!" Cao Cao took a deep look at Cao Ren and sighed: "That guy actually used the empty city strategy twice to lure the enemy deep into the city. He burned most of Dayang City with one fire and killed more than ten thousand people.
The Xiliang army and thousands of people were all burned to death in Dayang City!"
"Ah!" Cao Ren's expression changed with shock: "Those are thousands of innocent people!"
On the side, Cheng Yu sighed and said: "Don't forget, Wu Zhaohou also massacred the city! He is so ambitious and cruel and weird! This time, we must find a way to rescue Xiaoxian and the others as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid they will
He’s also dead!”
"What's Zhongde's plan?!" Cao Cao said quickly.
