Chapter eight hundred and sixty nine.
I have to admit that Sima Yi's final game is really exquisite.
A few months ago, he had been building a dad in the Fenhe River north of the Taihang Mountains. Compared with Wang Hou's famous back then, he broke through Jiang Yiqu with 5,000 people and attacked the Qi army with 5,000 people and used the Glacier Tunba to attack the Yishui Battle. His project volume was simply from the sky to the ground.
Along the mountain, twelve embankments were built and water was stored layer by layer. In a few months, the waterways flowing into the lower reaches of the Fen River were almost dried up. Even Wang Hou could not calculate how many cubic cubes of floods were stored in the Taihang Mountains.
However, there is one problem in this. Just like Wang Hou had no time to mobilize the left and right troops for a while, the farthest flood dam was in the mountains hundreds of miles away, and Sima Yi could not send people to order the dam to be blown up with extreme accuracy. In particular, this also involved a confidentiality issue. Wang Hou's Military Statistics and Investigation Bureau was in a grim state. Even Sima Yi didn't know if any of his subordinates had been placed in spies.
If the strange plan is known to the other party in advance, it will not be called the strange plan. Therefore, even Chen Qun and Sun Li and others did not tell him, and he agreed with Sima Xing, who was guarding the dam, that the first wave of shelling was the time for the explosion of the dam and released water.
This was also the sound of Wang Hou being shocked to hear during the artillery battle. It seemed that the sound of explosions in the distance was that tens of thousands of barrels of gunpowder exploded together. In the narrow terrain, the shock waves rushed straight towards the sound of explosion dam reflected from the stratosphere.
However, among the insiders, Xu Yue was one of them, but he was this spy.
Sima Yi believed that he controlled Xu Yue's lifeblood and was also the most important moral norm in society in this time and space.
Filial piety!
When Wang Hou learned from the old man Funiushan who was bribed that when Wang Hou recruited his own soldiers, he once stabbed Xu Yue's mother to death with a sword in his hand. This news made Sima Yi ecstatic!
On the one hand, Xu Yue was arranged by Cao Cao to take charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he was indeed a high-ranking and powerful figure in Yecheng. He was worthy of winning. He was still a complete cavalry general. Among the gentry coalition forces in Kanto, there was really a lack of cavalry generals. On the other hand, it was also a kind of struggle between smart people.
Why do you, Wang Hou, always know your wise eyes, and I, Sima Yi, will dig up your corner!
So, there was a time when Xu Yue was tortured in extreme pain. In the military camp, his colleagues talked a lot, accusing him of recognizing the thief as his father, and the upper class of the officialdom also gathered together to exclude him. Even the people in the market began to discuss that General Xu was an unfilial person who wanted an official but not a mother.
People's words are terrifying! This kind of social pressure is no less than the online violence in later generations. At one point, Xu Yue even planned to bring his confidants to return to Guanzhong to assassinate Wang Hou.
So at this critical moment, Sima Yi appeared like a savior, personally supporting him, arguing for him, and even promising to marry his daughter to him. He also promised an extremely heavy condition to help him kill Wang Hou! In this case, Xu Yue betrayed.
Therefore, he felt that his great kindness to Xu Yue was enough to control him!
But, is Xu Yue really rebellious?
Looking at the surging flood, Wang Hou still remembers that Xu Yue was so passionate about looking for her last side before leaving.
Before Wang Hou killed his mother, his fathers had already been killed and dismembered by the Chunyu family, who was born in the gentry, relying on privileges. The young Xu Yue was still watching his brothers and sisters being slaughtered and put into the pot by their lambs.
Even if Wang Hou didn't have the sword that assassinated his mother, the family would be rolling in the iron pot in no time.
Although the Chunyu family was destroyed by Wang Hou on the spot, after so many years, he went to school in Langya and Liaodong College. He watched Wang Hou dismember the gentry and improve the status of merchants and self-cultivated farmers. Xu Yue also developed a deep hatred for the gentry who were like the local emperors in society.
A scholar! It is not the pillar of the country, but the worm of the country!
Taking advantage of the pain point of his mother being killed by Wang Hou, it was the hype that Xu Yue personally hyped up. He had already had this enlightenment as a dead room!
The battle between Yangquan was even more fulfilling his determination.
More importantly, at the critical moment, watching the surging tiger and leopard cavalry, Wang Hou also chose to believe in the stubborn black boy back then.
Therefore, the ending was that the gentry coalition, which should have been Kanto, was defeated in the time that Sima Yi had carefully calculated and was driven to the east of the Yangquan Basin by the Qin army, and was wiped out by the flood pouring down from the northwest. Now it has been changed.
While regretting Xu Yue, Wang Hou was really shining with his back as he looked at the rolling black mountain torrent. No matter how elite troops were, they could not withstand such power!
Fortunately, the ending was another direction, and in the end, he survived!
This battle also completely destroyed the power of the Guandong gentry. The 400,000 army that Sima Yi had been trying to piece together was destroyed. More than 80% of the gentry in the Yecheng court died on the spot. Thousands of people in the ancient Yangquan County also became fish and shrimps to fill their stomachs. The drowned corpses floated in the small basin for three days, and then gradually lined up with the Yang River to the east.
It took the Qin army more than four days to bury the body.
In the next war, Cao Shuang was the first to be anxious. He never expected that Wang Hou would destroy Sima Yi's 400,000 army in such a way to get a bargain. All the military achievements of the Eastern Expedition were in the Qin and Liao towns. He and Cao Xiu were able to build without any achievements. When Cao Zhang officially ascended the throne in Ye, he had little say and was likely to be marginalized. Especially now that Wang Hou's reputation as the son of Tianxuan has spread throughout the army, he was particularly worried about whether Wang Hou would ascend the throne and completely instigate him to Cao Wei's territory.
So when Wang Hou was still trapped in Jingxing by the flood, clearing the bodies and waiting for subsequent supplies, Cao Shuang only led 8,000 light troops through the more rugged and difficult Bukouxing, and entered Hebei first.
During the battle of Yangquan, the power network organized by the Kanto gentry during Cao Pi's rule was really inclined to collapse. In addition to starving to death, falling to death, and falling apart in the mountains, finally taking more than 6,000 soldiers from the Ba Mansion, he really took Yecheng lightly.
Moreover, another news that surprised Wang Hou was particularly surprised. After escaping back to Yecheng, Sima Yi actually surrendered with the young emperor Cao Rui!
At the end of May, Wang Hou, who had reorganized the troops and obtained grassland supplies from Jiuyuan, finally led the army again and left the Taihang Mountains.
This may be more than 170 years ago, after the two rebels of Green Forest and Red Eyebrows entered Guanzhong, the first army that broke out from Guanzhong was riding on horseback and put on new heavy armor. Although the weather began to get hot, the heavy cavalry from Guanzhong and Liangzhou still proudly raised their chests high. The fields and fields passed by deliberately shaking the fences at hand, which made the people of Guandong feel frightened.
"Lord, Yecheng is here!"
Listening to the report of Wang Congge, who was the last of the vanguards, who was born in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, looked up at the majestic and majestic Hebei city on the horizon, and even Cao Shuang lost his former arrogance and respectfully knelt on the side of the road. Wang Hou couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Once upon a time, I was still under this city and witnessed Cao Cao's hegemony! Now, this city has fallen into his own domination, creating an era of fighting for ants and people. It is really a matter of right and wrong!
However, it was finally his turn to control the entire classical empire! After taking a deep breath, Wang Hou's voice shouted in a particularly loud voice.
"Enter the city!"
