Lots of slots

Yan Qi nodded, remembering Guopingren's words.

It seems that the same is true of the news that the emperor learned.

This sentence is quite important.

He thought about it for a while, and then asked Guoping: "What happened later?" ”

Guoping humanitarian: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng and the crown prince held out until the fiftieth day, although nearly two-thirds of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, but Prime Minister Cao Cheng composed homesick songs to boost morale with homesickness and give the soldiers the greatest hope. With their loyalty to Dahua and their longing for their families, the soldiers mustered up the courage to fight to the death, and Hongcheng was still as solid as a rock. ”

At the end of the battle, the Annan coalition army was tired of attacking the city, and they had lost the confidence to break through Hongcheng, and even had the idea of returning home. After all, this offensive and defensive battle was too thrilling, and the Annan coalition army did not have the courage to fight it. ”

Yan Qi sighed with emotion: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng's creation of homesick brother boosts morale, and he is really a strange person, so he has to obey." ”

Guoping people said again: "I thought that Prime Minister Cao Cheng and the crown prince had kept the city and could return safely, but an accident happened. ”

Yan Qi asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Guoping people bit their dry lips: "The Hongcheng granary caught fire, all the grain was burned, and there was not a single grain left." ”

When Yan Qi heard this, his whole body was cold!

In ancient times, wars were fought with grain and grass.

There is a cloud in the art of war: the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

How can you fight a war without food?

Hungry and starved to death.

If you don't have weapons in battle, you can use stones, rubble, sticks, bricks, and even hand-to-hand combat.

If you have no morale, you can create a homesick brother.

But what if there is no food?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No matter how high the morale is, it can't be eaten as a meal?

Moreover, once the food is empty and the soldiers have no hope, they will become depressed and depressed in an instant, and their combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced.

Yan Qi said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng fell short." ”

Guopingren's eyes were red: "The grain was burned, and the soldiers were very depressed, almost numb, but here, Prime Minister Cao Cheng made a big move." ”

"What move?" Yan Qidao.

Guoping people said word by word: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng asked the prince to guard the city, but he pretended to be an ordinary soldier and escaped under the protection of his personal guards. ”

"What?"

When Yan Qi heard this, his hair stood up: "Old Master, are you serious?" ”

"Can this be fake?"

Guoping said: "This was told to me by the emperor himself, and I also learned it from the fortunate soldiers on the front line, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong." In any case, Prime Minister Cao Cheng abandoned the city and fled at the last moment, leaving the prince to hold his position, which is a stain in itself and can never be washed away. ”

Tang Bufan was also surprised: "If Prime Minister Cao Cheng died in Hongcheng, he could be called brave and loyal, and he would be famous for the ages, but at the last moment, he abandoned the prince and ran away alone, which is too ...... It's too tasteless, where is the honor, where is the loyalty? ”

Yan Qi also felt strange, and then asked Guoping: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng ran away, where did he go?" What happened? ”

Guoping said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not run to Dahua, but ran to the direction of Annan, therefore, the Eight Sages King and the Little Prince decided that Prime Minister Cao Cheng had defected to the enemy, and his behavior was very hateful. ”

Yan Qi asked, "Why do the Eight Sages King and the Little Prince decide that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the enemy?" ”

Guoping said: "The Eight Sages King and the Little Prince said, if Cao Dong does not surrender to the enemy, how can he abandon the prince?" How could Wang Annan run in the direction of the country? He should run away to Dahua's side. ”

Tang Bufan said: "The Eight Sages King is right, this is indeed a stain. ”

Yan Qi asked again, "Does the emperor also think of this person?" ”

Guopingren nodded, but shook his head again: "The emperor did not express his position, but acquiesced in the Eight Sages King's determination of Cao Tong's crime of defecting to the enemy." ”

Yan Qidao: "What happened later?" ”

Guoping humanitarian: "Later, Cao Tong hanged himself in Annan. His body was found by the Annan coalition army, and the Annan coalition army erected a monument for Cao Tong. On the inscription, Cao Tong was greatly commended and appreciated. It was also this inscription that made the Eight Sages King and the Little Prince even more convinced that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Hey, a generation of celebrities, I didn't expect to end up like this. ”

Yan Qi meditated for a while, and suddenly asked Guopingren: "Is it that after Hongcheng broke the city, Daniel Zhang broke through the capital of Annan, Shunnei, and captured the lord of Annan?" ”

Guoping people were surprised: "How do you know? ”

"Guess."

Yan Qi smiled, his smile was full of playfulness.

Guoping people recounted: "On the second day after the destruction of Hongcheng, Daniel Zhang Wu attacked the capital of Annan, Shunnei, captured the lord of Annan, and won a decisive victory. ”

"Daniel Zhang forced the lord of Annan to sign a defeat agreement, and collected a large amount of gold and silver, and killed the top ten famous generals of Annan, completely striking at the arrogance of Annan, and since then, Annan has no more famous generals! In addition, from then on, Annan also became a nominal vassal state of Dahua. ”

Yan Qi squinted his eyes and said in a strange tone: "Daniel Zhang has made a great achievement. ”

Guoping people nodded: "With the great battle exploits of capturing Annan Kingdom, Daniel Zhang jumped up, his status was high, and he became the god of war of Dahua, as famous as Leng Wanshan, famous all over the world, and mighty Jiuzhou." ”

When Yan Qi heard this, he burst into laughter.

Guoping people were surprised: "Why is Dean Yan laughing?" ”

Yan Qi said: "Isn't the old master of the country curious? ”

"Where's the curiosity?"

"Daniel Zhang didn't break Shunnei early and didn't break Shunnei late, why did he break the city in Hongcheng, the prince was killed, and Cao Chengxiang hanged himself, before he broke Shunnei?"

Guoping people were stunned and felt strange, but still said: "Or Daniel Zhang learned that Hongcheng was broken, and he was angry for a while, stormed the city, and turned grief into strength, so that Shun Nei was broken and the lord of Annan was captured." ”

"No way." Yan Qi waved his hand unquestionably.

Guoping said: "Why did Dean Yan say that? ”

Yan Qi pointed to the map: "Old Master Guo, Tang family, come and see, from Hongcheng to Shunnei, it is only four hundred miles at most." You should also have a superficial idea of the speed of Dahua's march. ”

Guoping said: "The book of soldiers says that Dahua marched seventy miles on a day of war. ”

Yan Qidao: "In other words, Daniel Zhang's army rushed from Hongcheng to Shunnei, but it will take five days, right?" Even, it only takes three days to speed up the march, right? ”

"Yes!"

Guoping nodded.

Yan Qi said again: "However, Daniel Zhang led the army and rushed from Hongcheng to Shunnei, but it took ten days, is he watching the scenery all the way?" Traveling? ”

"This ......"

Guoping people were stunned for a moment.

It's a huge slot, and I can't explain it!

Tang Bufan was also confused: "Yes, the soldiers are fast, Daniel Zhang can't not know, especially the situation crisis, the prince is trapped, how can he march so slowly, no, no, there is something here, there is a mystery!" It's greasy! ”
