Outside Yangping Pass, the Qin army camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Syllable!
"What a rampant Liu Zhang, he dares not to take this king in his eyes!" Cao Cao slammed the reply letter in his hand on the desk angrily, and his scorched face burned with anger.
Guo Jia picked up the letter, looked at it a few times, and couldn't help frowning.
Gou Jian's letter is so crazy that he actually used Cao Cao's "roll up and cover the eggs", which is full of contempt.
"Although Liu Zhang is a crazy thief, he occupies Yangping Pass, has a favorable location, and has no worries about grain and grass, but he does have crazy capital." Guo Jia sighed.
Xiahou Yuan's face was ashamed, and he blamed himself: "King, it was Yuanzhi's dereliction of duty that led to the fall of Yangping Pass." ”
"It's none of your business." Cao Cao flicked his hand and sighed: "It was the pottery thief who was so powerful that he persuaded Liu Zhang to send troops in advance, to the surprise of this king, you can keep Nanzheng from losing, it is already a great achievement." ”
Xiahou Yuan's expression softened slightly, and then he said: "Since Liu Zhang, this thief is so crazy, then we will attack with the whole army, and I don't believe that we can't take back Yangping Pass." ”
The generals on the left and right, such as Xu Chu and Ma Chao, shouted indignantly.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time, but he smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, and move all the 200,000 men and women in Hanzhong to Guanzhong first, and as soon as Dingkou is withdrawn, the army will retreat and return to the north." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Great King, Hanzhong is our bloody battle, it is not only the barrier to the south of my Great Qin, but also the springboard for us to attack Shu, how can it be so easily given to Liu Zhang's dog thief." ”
Cao Cao sighed, unable to explain, and glanced at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia coughed a few times, got up and explained: "The strength of Yangping Pass is not inferior to Tongguan, and the number of our army is comparable to that of the Shu army, so it can be said that it does not have any advantage, and it is impossible to capture Yangping Pass in the short term." The Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, the grain and grass transportation is not easy, and our grain and grass supply has begun to be poor, and if it drags on, it will not only be impossible to capture Yangping Pass, but I am afraid that our army will be defeated without a fight due to the shortage of grain and grass. ”
After saying this, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all fell silent, and they no longer called for war generously, obviously understanding Cao Cao's difficulties.
"Since it is impossible to capture Yangping Pass, the wisest choice is naturally to take the initiative to retreat and move all the population of Hanzhong away, even if Liu Zhang gets Hanzhong at that time, he only gets an empty shell, there is not enough Dingkou, he wants to use Hanzhong to threaten the hinterland of my Guanzhong, and it can't be realized for a while."
Guo Jia's words pointed out the stakes, and the people who said it would be convinced, and there would be no objections.
Cao Cao sighed, stood up with a look of unwillingness, and said with a flick of his hand: "Now that the matter is now, there is no choice, pass on the order of this king, and prepare to withdraw the troops." ”
……
South of Pingcheng, the Wei army camp.
This confrontation has lasted for about a month, and although the Wei army is prosperous, it is helpless in the face of Pingcheng, a border fortress.
The potter could feel that the mental and physical strength of the soldiers had reached the limit, and with a few big victories, the fighting spirit that they had forcibly mustered had also reached the end of the crossbow and entered the descending channel.
At this moment, the latest information came from the southwest:
Cao Cao abandoned Hanzhong, led more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians, crossed the Qinling Valley Road, and withdrew to Guanzhong, Liu Zhang's army went east out of Yangping Pass, and occupied Nanzheng without blood.
Hanzhong changed hands.
"This Gou Jian is worthy of being a generation of overlords, and sure enough, there are two brushes, and they can capture Yangping Pass, forcing Cao Cao to abandon Hanzhong, which makes me a little surprised......" The potter looked at the information in his hand and sighed secretly.
"King, since the war between Qin and Shu has ended, we are unable to take this Pingcheng again, according to the good opinion, it should be time for us to accept it when we see it, and return to Beijing." Zhang Liangjin said.
The potter stood up and stood in front of the map, his mind wandering, weighing the pros and cons.
As Zhang Liang said, Cao Cao has retreated back to Guanzhong, which means that Luoyang, Hedong and even Nanyang will once again face the threat of the Qin army, and in a short period of time, he will not be able to capture Pingcheng, that is, he will likely face Liu Bei and Cao Cao again The two great heroes of the north and south are attacked, which is what the pottery merchants do not want to see.
Although Pingcheng has not been conquered in front of him, the remaining counties of northern Shanxi, such as Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen, have all been included in the territory of the Great Wei.
Taiyuan County and other southern counties in Jinzhong have been captured before, as for the counties in the western part of Jin, which were originally occupied by the Xiongnu, they were also destroyed by the main force of 50,000, and their strength suffered heavy losses.
This means that, except for the current Pingcheng, almost the entire territory of Bingzhou has been included in the territory of the Great Wei.
After weighing it again and again, the potter's eyes flashed with determination, and he waved his hand and said: "The ovary is reasonable, our strategic goal has been achieved, there is no need to consume it with the big-eared thief, pass on the order, tomorrow the whole army will pull out the camp, and the class will return to Beijing." ”
When the order was handed down, the nerves of the officers and men of the three armies that had been tense for nearly half a year may finally be relaxed.
The next day, the potter led an army of 80,000 and returned south.
Before leaving the state, the pottery merchants appointed Tian Dan as the general of Anbei and led 5,000 elite soldiers to sit in Mayi to guard against the threat of the Yan army from Pingcheng.
Tiandan is good at guarding, even if Liu Bei did his best to conquer the army and surround the horse, the pottery merchant also wanted to believe that with Tiandan's ability to defend the city, there were 5,000 elite troops, which was enough to hold on to his army to help.
On the eastern side of the river, the pottery merchant ordered Zhang He to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Puban line and defend the Jinnan line.
At the same time, the pottery merchant transferred Fan Sui, who had outstanding political achievements in Xuzhou, to assassinate the history of the state, and ordered him to rush to Jinyang to sit in the town and preside over the government affairs of the state.
The military and political personnel arrangements of the state were in place, and half a month later, the pottery merchant led the victorious army and returned to Yejing in triumph.
On the day of returning to Beijing, Yecheng is naturally an empty alley, and the people of a city are kneeling on both sides of the royal street, and the mountains shout long live, welcoming their triumphant return of King Wei.
This battle was the first battle after the potter became king, and it can be said that he played a majestic and domineering battle.
With the strength of the Great Wei Dynasty, he single-handedly challenged the alliance of the five countries, not to mention, but also forced back the armies of Qin and Yan with the main force, overcame the dangers of Taihang Mountain, and made many strange plans, and finally destroyed the Jin State and killed Yuan Shang, which was simply a miracle.
In addition, he also annihilated the 50,000 iron horsemen of the Southern Huns, annihilated the Montenegrin army that had been in Taihang for many years, and punished its bandit leader Zhang Yan, completing an almost impossible task.
This kind of amazing feats were enough to make the subjects of Great Wei surrender to him, and with great awe, they spontaneously came to greet his triumph.
He can see from the eyes of the subjects who bow and worship that his people of Great Wei have regarded him as a god-like existence in their hearts, and they are convinced that he is the reincarnation of a saint and a true dragon.
"It seems that dignity is really beaten, and this kind of awe of people who win with their fists is the most down-to-earth to enjoy......"
The potter's heart was full of emotion, a strong sense of accomplishment spontaneously arose, under the eyes of countless awe, listening to the mountains one after another long live, when he walked into the palace with his head held high.
On the day of returning to the palace, the first thing the potter did was naturally to issue an edict and reward the meritorious soldiers.
Xiang Yu Mengtian and other meritorious generals are either rewarded with gold silk, or increased food, or promoted official titles, and pottery merchants are rewarded for meritorious service, without being stingy.
The generals are rewarded, the soldiers at the bottom, and the potters will not treat them badly, according to the number of military exploits of each person, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded.
This time, the potters captured the Jin Kingdom, copied many powerful families, and obtained countless wealth, and the potters used these copied money to reward the soldiers, which can be said to be their own without spending a dime, and they collected the hearts of the soldiers.
The civil and military soldiers were rewarded, naturally they were all rejoicing, and they were grateful to the pottery merchants, and they quickly recovered their fighting spirit, and they all looked forward to the next war, so that they could make meritorious deeds and get rewards.
Because, they already know very well that the Wei king they are loyal to is so clear that as long as they are willing to fight with their lives, they will have the opportunity to get money, and even the reward of the title, and they will have the opportunity to worship the marquis from a low-level commoner, and glorify their ancestors.
After rewarding the civil and military soldiers, the potter began his celebration feast.
For three days, the potter was in his palace of the king of Wei, and he held a banquet with fine wine and delicacies to entertain his military generals.
This campaign to conquer the Jin Kingdom, in the Taihang Mountains, the potter is full of half a year, and now finally back to the luxurious palace, how can you not enjoy it, treat yourself.
At the same time as the banquet of the ministers, the pottery merchant asked the princess Hua Mulan to arrange it, and chose an auspicious day to marry the two sisters Zhen Mi and Daji at the same time, and accepted them as side concubines.
At present, Zhen Mi has been completely attracted to herself, and she is willing to marry herself, not to mention Daji, who was flattered from the beginning, and has long wished that she could marry into the palace as soon as possible.
Moreover, the two sisters have now voluntarily become sisters, and all the obstacles have been removed, so what else does the potter have to worry about, when he marries them early, in order to obtain the Mandate of Heaven talent again, and double his Mandate of Heaven attributes.
If you want to say that Hua Mulan is really the material of being a princess, she knows the general situation, knowing that the potter is now the king of a country, and Concubine Dona is a matter of course, but she did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but just made fun of the potter Huahua's intestines like a coquette, and was busy arranging the marriage for him.
Even the princess Hua Mulan did not react, and the rest of Mi Zhen, Lu Lingji, and Ganmei Diao Chan naturally did not dare to be dissatisfied.
Not only did they express their dissatisfaction, in order to show their knowledge and knowledge to please the potter, they also took the initiative to help Mulan and prepare for the potter's concubine.
On the tenth day after the triumph of the potters, the magnificent palace of the King of Wei was lit up with lights, and a grand ceremony of accepting concubines began.
