【Chapter 072】According to Huaili, there is no money
In Huaili City, a bloody atmosphere filled the air.
As night gradually fell, the entire Huaili City finally began to become silent. However, that silence was a kind of deathly silence where no one was alive.
Crows crowed all over the sky in the dusky sky, sometimes circling, sometimes landing on the streets, pecking at the corpses all over the street.
The upper floors of the East City were densely covered with corpses that died in various ways. It was extremely bloody. Hundreds of Wu Zhaohou troops came and went to clean up the battlefield.
When Yun Ye put away his gun and stood up, looking outside the city, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and even Guo Jia and others had already gathered around.
"Lord, nearly 20,000 Xiliang troops in the military camp have all escaped from the North City Gate!" Guo Jia reported to Yun Ye with his sleeves down.
Hearing this, Yun Ye looked back at Guo Jia, nodded slightly, and said no more.
Guo Jia didn't think too much. He leaned close to Yun Ye and looked outside the city. A green mountain came into view. He patted the blood-stained walls of Huaili City thoughtfully and said with emotion: "This
Huaili City was finally captured!"
Xu Chu also left Guo Jia at this moment. Hearing this, he also struck hard and said in a naive voice: "Although the Xiliang army is known as the elite in the world and is the only one in Guanyou, it cannot be the opponent of the lord!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak.
However, Yun Ye withdrew his gaze, glanced at Zhao Yun, then at Guo Jia, and said, "It's getting dark now, let's go down to the tower first!" With that, he walked down the corridor towards the street step by step.
Zhao Yun and others looked at each other and followed.
Walking along the street, I saw corpses lying on the ground everywhere. Most of them belonged to the Xiliang Army, but there were also many corpses of the Wu Zhaohou Army. Not far away, one of them was almost invisible.
A clear-looking head caught Yun Ye's eyes.
That was Ma Yue's head, but I don't know who made a statue of it and other heads and placed them in the middle of the street. Under the pile of heads, there was full of smelly blood, flowing towards the two channels.
Both sides.
Not to mention that place, in almost all parts of Huaili City, the bluestone streets were dyed dark blue with blood.
Yun Ye let out a long sigh, but before he could speak, a guard suddenly came over and said in a deep voice: "My lord, there is news that King Xianling Qiang has mobilized five thousand Qiang soldiers;
In addition, Song Jian, who was in charge of the separatist regime, and King Shaodang Qiang, who was almost exterminated by the Han general Ma Xian in the past, also mobilized a total of 10,000 troops and horses, and now they have stationed in the Chencang area. However, they do not seem to have done anything wantonly.
Set up camp, seems still hesitant!”
"Is the news true?" Although the person in front of him was one of the seventy-two earth evil spirits, Yun Ye still asked. When he saw him nodding, he said in a long and thoughtful tone, "It seems that the Qiang people want to intervene.
This action is fine by the Qiang people, but Song Jian has also intervened, and this time it will be difficult to deal with!"
Yun Ye is not afraid of the Qiang people. After all, although the Qiang people are brave, they don't understand strategy. If Ren Shang could defeat them more than ten years ago, how can he, Yun Ye, not suffer the consequences?
But when it comes to Song Jian, this is a rather difficult figure.
In the first year of Zhongping, when the Han Emperor was still in power, he separated the regime in Baohan. He even changed the title of the emperor and appointed hundreds of officials. This was extremely arrogant. However, such a person has maintained a separate regime for thirty years in troubled times.
It was not until later that Xia Houyuan led his troops to attack Liangzhou and behead Song Jian that this disaster could be solved!
And Cao Cao even responded to this battle. When talking about Xiahou Yuan, he praised him: "Song Jianjian was in rebellion for more than thirty years, and Yuan destroyed it in one fell swoop. He marched to the right of the pass and made no progress. Zhongni said: 'I am not as good as you.
also!"
Although this sentence praises Xia Houyuan, it also expresses the power of Song Jian from the side. Otherwise, if it only destroyed a small force that ruled one county, could it be called Hubu Guanyou?
Or, how could a small force that ruled a county be able to wreak havoc on the border of the Han Dynasty for more than thirty years when all the heroes were wiped out within a few decades?!
Guo Jia was in charge of the two groups of "Ying" and "Yi", so he naturally knew Song Jian, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, I was really over-concerned. The biggest reason why Song Jian was able to separatist power in Baohan was actually the territory he occupied.
It was too small and remote. At that time, the Yellow Turbans were rioting and rebellions continued, so Emperor Ling did not send troops to conquer it. It was not Song Jian who could make Emperor Ling afraid!"
"Huh?" When Yun Ye heard this, his expression was a little solemn, but then turned calm, and turned back to look at Zhao Yun: "Zilong!"
"The general is here!" Zhao Yun looked straight, clasped his fists and bowed in agreement.
"Go down and have a banquet tonight for the entire army, including Zhang Heng's headquarters!" Yun Ye ordered in a deep voice.
"Lord, is this a bit..." Zhao Yun looked up at Yun Ye with a somewhat embarrassed expression upon hearing this. Although he was halfway through his words, most people could still guess a thing or two!
Now that Huaili has just been captured, the situation on all sides has not been clear yet. Moreover, more than 10,000 Xiliang troops were deliberately let go during the period. If a banquet is held at this moment, wouldn't it give the Xiliang troops a chance?
Yun Ye stared at Zhao Yun and said nothing. On the contrary, Guo Jia had a smile on his face and lowered his sleeves and said, "Zilong, just do as the lord said!"
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Yun Ye nodded slightly. It seemed that Guo Jia also guessed his plan.
The main reason for this banquet is Zhang Heng's headquarters. First, it is to let the Qiang people and even the Xiliang army see the treatment after joining Wu Zhaohou's army, so that those who escaped will not have the intention to fight to the death.
; and the second, in Wu Zhaohou
The army suddenly showed a relaxed look, but it would make Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who were accustomed to the marching style of Wu Zhaohou's army suspicious, and then they would be jealous and in a dilemma, leading the troops to stay in place and not dare to move easily;
Third...
...
As night falls, plumes of thick smoke drift away.
After the entire Wu Zhaohou military camp outside Huaili City was cleared, large pots were placed.
In addition to throwing down the dry noodles and other things that they carried with them into the pot to boil, there were also cattle and sheep that had been slaughtered and stripped cleanly and placed around.
The soldiers, who were already salivating with greed, cut the cattle and sheep apart, threw them into the pot, and put some simple seasonings on them. Suddenly, a strong aroma of cattle and sheep began to fill the air.
Zhang Heng, who was wrapped in white gauze like a rice dumpling and looked very pale, came to the middle and brightest bonfire with the support of two personal guards!
"General Zhang Heng, please pay homage to your lord!"
As Zhang Heng said this, he knelt down and threw away the two supporting guards. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground, but Yun Ye jumped up and supported Zhang Heng.
"You hate me?" Yun Ye helped Zhang Heng up and asked with an indifferent expression.
"The general will not dare!" Zhang Heng's expression changed, and he said solemnly, cupping his fists.
"So, you still hate me in your heart?"
"No!" Zhang Heng looked serious, shook his head, and said: "A soldier should use all possible means. On the battlefield, any means may be used. After this defeat, the general will not dare to hate the lord.
, I just feel that I am too incompetent!”
Yun Ye exclaimed softly, looking at Zhang Heng's eyes with a hint of scrutiny. After a while, he suddenly reached out his hand, patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, and praised:
"good!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands, sat down directly, and ordered Zhang Heng: "Sit!"
With Yun Ye's eyesight, he could naturally see that Zhang Heng's eyes were extremely sincere and not meant to be complimentary, which made Yun Ye slightly satisfied!
Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Ye's expression. Knowing that he was accepted by Yun Ye, he cupped his hands, sat down cross-legged, and asked aloud:
"I don't know. The next step for Mr. Hou is to leave Chencang?"
"Huh?" Yun Ye's expression changed slightly and he looked at Zhang Heng: "That's exactly the case, but there are many Qiang and Hu people living near Chencang, especially the Xianling Qiang and Song Jian who also got involved, which is a bit troublesome!
"
The Xianling Qiang are famous in Liangzhou. After all, the Xianling Qiang can be seen in almost most Qiang and Di rebellions, and most of them are even in the leading position.
Zhang Heng naturally knew about Xian Ling Qiang. When he heard Yun Ye's words, there was a hint of thinking in his expression. He cupped his fists and said, "If it's just Xian Ling Qiang, there will be no solution at all!"
When Yun Ye and Guo Jia heard this, they looked at each other with a hint of smile in their eyes.
"Say!" Yun Ye said calmly.
"First of all, if the Qiang people are close to Han Sui, the last general can send an envoy to send them, and tell them to retreat because of their strength!" Zhang Heng said tentatively.
"No need!" As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, Guo Jia shook his head and said: "If this is the case, Xianling Qiang will not retreat. In my opinion, it is not as good as if General Zhang Heng sent an envoy to Yan Ma Teng's remaining troops.
We have already taken refuge with Marquis Wu Zhao and want to seize the pass. It would be best to even persuade him to stop the remnants of Ma Teng!"
"But, this is not..." Zhang Heng did not expect that Guo Jia would say this. In this way, wouldn't Xian Lingqiang defect to Wu Zhaohou? This is simply...
Yun Ye glanced at Zhang Heng and said calmly: "I believe that what Fengxiao said is true. I believe that Ling Qiang King Lingling is not a fool. In the future, if Ma Teng and Han Sui are defeated, they can take advantage of the situation and surrender to him."
I am the Marquis, and if I am defeated, I can put the responsibility on you Zhang Heng, for such a good thing, Ling Li knows how to make a decision!"
Zhang Heng trembled when he heard the words, and he understood in a moment. A thin drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said in admiration: "Master Hou is wise!"
If this plan succeeds, the remnants of Ma Teng's army will be abandoned. In addition, there are pursuers behind. Wu Zhaohou is trying to contain all the Xiliang troops who escaped!
At the thought of this, Zhang Heng broke into cold sweat all over his body, and all the little thoughts in his heart had already been forgotten.
When the other generals saw Zhang Heng's appearance, they all smiled faintly.
