Chapter 441: Sima Yi, I'll give you a big gift
Although Cao Cao surrendered Yan Liangtian Feng and the thousands of Jin troops in Jiexiu, he did not have the courage to hold the Guancheng, so he abandoned the pass on the same day and retreated from Hedong to Guanzhong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Cao Cao's front foot retreated, Yingbu followed the order of the pottery merchant and led 10,000 elite soldiers out of the Kei Pass, and within a few days, the counties of Hedong were recovered.
At the same time, Yingbu led his army all the way to Pusaka, threatening to cross the Yellow River and attack Guanzhong.
And Zhou Yafu, who was stationed in Luoyang, also led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers sent a letter to Guguanzhong, all the way to conquer the cities of Hongnong County, and the troops approached Tongguan.
Qin has the danger of Tongguan and the benefit of the Yellow River, and the pottery merchants will not really go all out to attack the key problems at this time, these two soldiers and horses are just to contain Cao Cao's forces, so that he cannot concentrate all his forces to save Hanzhong.
The potter didn't want to help Gou Jian, but the benefits of weakening Cao Cao at the moment were far greater than the disadvantages of making Gou Jian strong, Hanzhong was in Gou Jian's hands, it was better than being occupied by Cao Cao, and the potters naturally wanted to help Gou Jian by the way.
After the pottery merchant killed Yuan Shang, the whole army rested for a few days, and then personally led an army of 80,000 troops, waved his army north, and went straight to Yanmen County.
Yanmen and the counties in the clouds are all dangerous places, and they are called Jinyang barriers.
The pottery merchants had received information that Sima Yi and Guo Huai had fled to Yanmen County, gathered the remaining Jin soldiers, declared their submission to Liu Bei, and offered Liu Bei the northern counties of Jin to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to return for help.
The pottery merchant knew very well that Gongsun Du was fooled by Zhang Yi before he sent troops to invade Yan State, and he was by no means Liu Bei's opponent, either defeated by Liu Bei, or retreated to Liaodong by acquaintances, Liu Bei pacified the backyard fire, it should not take long.
Once Liu Bei turned his head and led the main force into Yanmen, it was not so easy for the pottery merchants to easily break through the northern Jin Dynasty.
After all, Liu Bei's strength is far superior to Yuan Shang.
The geographical advantages of Yanmen and other counties, once in the hands of Liu Bei, the pottery merchants will not be able to realize the strategy of attacking Yan from both sides of the southwest at the same time, and Jinyang City will also face the condescending attack of the Yan army, and will be passive.
Considering all this, the pottery merchants had to ignore the fatigue of the soldiers and go north again to attack the northern counties of Jin, and they must take the Yanmen counties when Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived.
The army of 80,000 slaughtered towards Yanmen, and the vanguard army of the former army Xiang Yu swept all the way to the cities along the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Yanmen County Governor's Office, Mayi City.
The Wei army came with the great victory of conquering Jinyang, and the momentum was huge, but Sima Yi of Mayi City was in a hurry.
At this time, although he had a Guo Huai by his side and Lu Bu who came to defect alone, there were only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which was pitiful.
Moreover, these 3,000 soldiers and horses are not the main force of the Jin army, most of them are composed of county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is low, how can they resist the attack of the 80,000 army of the Wei army.
The Fall of Yuanping......
The building is troubled and lost......
The surrender of Kaesong ......
Snowflakes of urgency arrived at the desk, and every battle report reported the approach of the Wei army, Sima Yi seemed to feel that he was very likely to be unable to hold this Yanmen County, and he had no confidence that he would be able to hold out until the moment when Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived.
In the dim hall, Sima Yi supported his forehead with his hand, his eyebrows were deep, and his wolf eyes were gloomy.
Just now, the scout sent an urgent report, the advance of the Wei army was only forty miles away from Ma Yi, and they were all killed at the doorstep, so it was no wonder that he didn't have a headache.
"The pottery thief marched into the army so quickly, with the strength at hand, I want to hold Mayi, but I am afraid that it will be ......" Sima Yichang sighed secretly, and his once confident face was also full of the word "helpless" at this moment.
At this moment, Guo Huai hurriedly entered, presented a silk book, frowned and said: "Zhongda, this is the list that Wei Guozuo secretly posted in the city last night, and it has spread throughout the city this morning, and the soldiers are discussing it in private, so take a look." ”
List?
Sima Yi was stunned, and took the silk book list suspiciously, and after only a few glances, Sima Yi was shocked, and he froze there for a moment, like a statue, without moving.
In the blink of an eye, his brow was furrowed into a thread, his nostrils were spraying rough air, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his eyeballs were about to explode.
Endless flames of rage burned in his chest like a volcanic eruption, surging through Sima Yi's body, as if they were about to explode him at any moment.
The content of the list is that he Sima Yi killed Yuan Shang and abandoned his clansman's fiancée, and his actions and wolf ambitions were all exposed, and the writing was very infectious.
The signature at the end turned out to be Zhang Chunhua!
The text was obviously transcribed, but Sima Yi was very familiar with the handwriting, it was not Zhang Chunhua, who else could there be.
This means that Zhang Chunhua is still alive, not only alive, but also forced by the pottery thief to write this list exposing him, which was posted everywhere by the pottery merchants to attack his reputation and disturb his military morale.
"Pottery thief, you deceive people too much-" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and scolded, an unprecedented flame of rage burning in his chest.
Sima Yi knew better that the reason why the potter asked Zhang Chunhua to write this list was to increase the persuasiveness of it, and even to humiliate him fiercely.
Think about it, he is dignified Sima Zhongda, but his fiancée exposed his murder of the old master and abandoning his relatives, what will the world think of him.
"Slut, you know that you are helping the pottery thief humiliate me, why do you still do it?" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and deeply resented Zhang Chunhua.
He knew that Zhang Chunhua was forced, but he was still blaming Zhang Chunhua for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and he shouldn't have done such a shameless thing because he was afraid of death.
Even, he also opened his mind, thinking of the potter's lust, maybe Zhang Chunhua has surrendered to the potter's crotch, extremely ugly, perhaps, this list is simply written by Zhang Chunhua willingly.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt, Sima Yi tore up the list in his hand like crazy, and roared and shouted: "Tao thief, you dare to humiliate me Sima Yi like this, I, Sima Yi, swear to the sky, if I don't kill you, the heavens will be destroyed!" ”
The soldiers on the left and right had never seen him so furious, and they were all frightened and retreated.
Guo Huai sighed bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "I also heard that the pottery thief has wiped out all the people of Zhongda and your clan, not only that, but the clans in Jinyang City have not been spared. ”
The Sima clan was wiped out?
The debris flew in the sky, and the furious Sima Yi's body shook violently, and the whole person froze again, his face was bruised, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he could burst at any time.
The pottery merchant was brutal, and Sima Yi was mentally prepared for the murder of his clan as early as outside Jinyang, when the people who abandoned him fled first.
But when he heard the news with his own ears, he still couldn't suppress the endless anger in his heart.
That kind of anger is not because he is sad and angry at the death of his relatives, but because of Zhang Chunhua's post, everyone in the world knows that it is because of his Sima Yi's abandonment that his people fell into the hands of the potters, and they were finally killed by the potters.
In other words, with the fall of the Sima clan, his Sima Yi also had the blood of his relatives on his hands.
"Pottery thief-pottery thief-" Sima Yikong was ashamed and angry, but he could only roar at the dim hall.
Guo Huai shook his head and sighed, Lu Bu was silent, and the soldiers on the left and right also looked gloomy.
The depressed breath soon spread like a plague throughout the army, and the potters did not need to be a soldier, but only a single example of the text, which easily ruined Sima Yi's prestige among the soldiers, and made the three thousand soldiers of Ma Yi, whose morale was already low, fall to the bottom.
When Sima Yi was angry in the city, the potters drove north with a large army and went straight to Mayi.
Two days later, Tao Shang personally led 30,000 forward troops and arrived outside the south gate of Mayi.
In order to seize the northern counties of Jin in front of Liu Bei, the pottery merchants no longer used the strategy of encircling first and then fighting, and the next day after arriving outside the city of Mayi, they raised an army of 30,000 forwards, ready to launch an immediate attack on the city of Mayi.
It is said that the sky is clear.
30,000 Great Wei soldiers lined up in the south of the city of Mayi, and countless banners converged into a black ocean, surging, like a sea of blood, shocking and disintegrating the fighting spirit of the remnants of the enemy in the city.
When Sima Yi learned that the Wei army was coming, he had to carry out his anger and gather 3,000 remnants of the city's troops to line up at the city gate.
Ascending to the top of the city and looking into the distance, Sima Yi saw the golden royal flag with the word "Wei" at a glance.
Under the royal flag, the figure of the iron tower standing must be a potter.
As soon as he saw the potter, Sima Yi became angry, and couldn't restrain himself from thinking of Zhang Chunhua's humiliating example, and the shameful picture of how the fiancée, who should have belonged to him, was prostrate under the crotch of the potter, and how she was whipped and conquered by the potter.
Those pictures he imagined by himself were like steel knives all the time, piercing Sima Yi's heart and vomiting blood.
"Pottery thief, I will never let you capture Mayi, never!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and kept encouraging himself to support himself.
It's just that when he glanced at the boundless and overwhelming Wei army outside the city, he secretly took a breath of cool air, and his anger cooled down by half.
Although the Wei army had 30,000, the number was still ten times that of him, and the momentum was high, and the fighting spirit was like fire.
On the other hand, he himself had only 3,000 troops in his hands, and his number was not good, and his combat effectiveness was not good, and he was also hit by the "despicable" methods of the potters to the point of losing confidence in himself and his fighting spirit falling to the bottom.
Even so, Sima Yi could only bear this uneasiness in his heart, cheer up his spirits, and cheer up the remaining Jin army to cheer up their fighting spirit and prepare for a bloody battle to meet the enemy.
More than 100 steps away, the pottery merchant sat on his crotch and held a war knife, standing majestically like a god in the army.
30,000 pairs of eyes invariably looked at the potter, and their eyes were full of admiration and confidence.
In their eyes, the potter was the reincarnation of the saint, as if as long as they saw his figure, they felt that they would be invincible, and no enemy could stop their footsteps.
When he saw Sima Yi appear in the city, a sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth, and he raised his knife and shouted: "Give Sima Yi the gift of this king." ”
The order was passed down, and more than ten heavenly thunder cannons, under the cover of the big shield soldiers, slowly pushed forward to the front.
At the head of Mayi City, Sima Yi saw the appearance of the heavenly thunder cannon, thinking that the potters were about to bombard again, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he was anxious to drink the order to prepare to dodge the stone bullets, and ordered the pro-army to form layers of big shields in front of him to protect himself.
"Sima Yi, accept the gift from this king." The potter laughed wildly, and his sword slammed into the enemy city.
More than a dozen heavenly thunder cannons were fired almost simultaneously.
In the sound of the swishing wind, dozens of round whirring and bloody things flew towards the city.
The Jin army at the head of the city had already tensed their nerves, and they squatted under the female wall one after another, holding their shields high, and were ready to withstand the bombardment of stone bullets in fear.
Bang bang bang!
Those bloody things, crashing into the towers and shields, fell on the top of the city.
To Sima Yi's surprise, the things shot by the Wei army were not very lethal, and there was no scene of the sky falling apart as he imagined.
Moreover, after the Wei army fired a volley, there was no response.
"What tricks is the pottery thief playing...... Sima Yi frowned deeply, and his heart was full of suspicion.
"Look, the Wei army didn't fire stone bullets, they were all human heads."
"yes, whose head is this?"
"What the hell is Wei Jun doing?"
At the head of the city, the soldiers suddenly noticed something abnormal, and for a moment there were cries of surprise.
Sima Yi was stunned, so he also ordered his soldiers to put down their shields and look at the heads of people all over the city with curious eyes.
A bloody human head happened to roll in front of Sima Yi, he looked down and took a closer look, and his face instantly changed in shock.
The human head under his feet is the head of his younger brother Sima Fu!
