Chapter 540: Breaking through Zi City
Wang Jun's Changshui battalion did not participate in the Laoyeling Blockade, and this siege took on the task of the main attack, with the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion as auxiliaries, and the three battalions went out together to launch a fierce attack on Zishi City.
The Hun defenders began to fight, but from the state point of view, it was extremely poor, the army was disheartened, like sleepwalking, it can be seen that Liu Bao's death hit the morale of the Hun defenders greatly.
Compared with the fierce momentum of the Wei army, the Hun defenders were all absent-minded, and the defensive operations were completely passive.
Such a battle lost its suspense from the beginning, the Wei army quickly attacked the city, the Huns and Huns who had already gone to the general trend surrendered one after another, only those diehards were still doing the last and useless resistance, but as the Wei army crushed all the way, these diehards were finally destroyed.
Cao Liang saw that the banner of the Great Wei was planted at the head of the Ci Clan, and showed a slight smile, it was this soldier's tireless trick that made the attack on the Zi Clan much easier, and the Wei army paid the smallest price in this siege, even much easier than fighting the Jiexiu.
It seems that Huan Fan's think tank is really not in vain, and the clever plan is at your fingertips, hitting Liu Bao hard, and taking Zi's lightly, all of which are the credit of Huan Fan.
After the city gate was opened, the Wei army continued to enter the city of Zi, and the shouts and fighting gradually subsided, and it was not even two hours from the Wei army to the end of the battle.
Because the Huns were disheartened and had little will to resist, the surrender accounted for almost eighty percent of the total number, a proportion that had never been seen in previous battles.
This can also be seen from one side, the Huns have no leader and completely collapsed, so there is no suspense in the battle. But if the Huns still had some morale, the Wei army would not have fought so easily.
Although Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, fled to the direction of Jinyang with more than 10,000 horses, after the Wei army conquered the Zi clan, it was equivalent to ending a nest of the Huns, and the Xiongnu on the left became the second Xiongnu tribe to be destroyed after the Xiongnu in the south.
With the southern Xiongnu's handling methods, Cao Liang's disposal of the left Xiongnu was much easier, and it was enough to follow the steps.
The only thing that made Cao Liang fall in love was the seven-year-old child named Liu Yuan.
According to Liu Yuan and Liu Hong's confession, Liu Yuan should still be in the city of Zi at this time, so as soon as he entered the city, Cao Liang sent Pei Xiu to take the personal guard troops to the palace of Zuoxian Wang and capture Liu Yuan.
For the founding emperor of Zhao Han and the initiator of the Wuhu Chaohua, Cao Liang is really not ready to let it go and let it go.
Although Wuhu Chaohua has a profound historical background, it is undeniable that Liu Yuan played a role in it, and Cao Liang said that he would rather be in vain than indulge in this great enemy of the Han nation.
Even if he is only a seven-year-old child now, Cao Liang knows that by the time he really grows fangs, he is afraid that it will be too late.
But Pei Xiu led the troops to search all over Zuoxian's palace, but there was no trace of Liu Yuan, and in Zuoxian's palace, there were only a bunch of female dependents left, crying there.
Pei Xiu interrogated the people in Zuoxian's Mansion one by one, and the result was that they saw Liu Yuan in the mansion with their own eyes yesterday, and today there was chaos inside and outside the city, and everyone else was flawless, and they didn't know when Liu Yuan disappeared.
Pei Xiu had no choice but to return to Cao Liang, and he checked the front and back of Zuoxian's palace, but he couldn't find any trace of Liu Yuan.
Cao Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could a seven-year-old child disappear?
Cao Liang ordered someone to send Liu Yuan and Liu Hong, after all, the first time I heard the news of Liu Yuan was from their mouths, although they had already descended to Wei, it was impossible to know Liu Yuan's whereabouts at this time, but Cao Liang hoped that through them, he would know some of Liu Yuan's usual hobbies and habits, so that he could track down his whereabouts.
Liu Yuan and Liu Hong came soon, and in the face of Cao Liang's questions, Liu Yuan also answered questions one by one, telling Liu Yuan's habits and hobbies.
It can be seen that although Liu Yuan is only a seven-year-old child, his mind is already different from ordinary people, when his mother Hu Yanshi died last year, Liu Yuan had a coffin called Tao to cry, beat his chest, heartbroken, and his performance was completely different from that of ordinary seven-year-old children.
It seems that Liu Yuan's disappearance this time was not kidnapped or kidnapped by others, but he escaped on his own initiative, perhaps Liu Yuan had smelled the danger, so he absconded.
I just don't know where he, a seven-year-old child, can escape?
Cao Liang waved his hand and motioned for them to stand back. Liu Yuan and Liu Hong bowed their hands, and just as they were about to go out, they saw Yanghu in military uniform striding in.
Liu Yuan and Liu Hong hurriedly gave Yanghu a salute again, and Yanghu's eyes fell on their faces and asked, "Where is the two of you?" ”
Liu Yuan bowed and said: "The villain's mother is not a Xiongnu, but a Han Chinese, who left Bingzhou and returned to the Central Plains in her early years, and has not seen her again for many years. ”
Yang Hu's face showed a different color, and then asked: "Lingtang is Cai's, a single name and a Yan character?" ”
Liu Yuan was greatly surprised, and said, "Exactly, I don't know how the general knows?" ”
Yanghu had a sense of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "In the next is the nephew of Lingtang, so counting, the two are also Hu's cousins, and they are worshiped by Hu." ”
As he spoke, Yang Hu bowed his hand, and Liu Yuan and Liu Hong were both stunned and at a loss.
However, Cao Liang next to him understood seven or eight points, Yanghu's mother is Cai's family, and she is the daughter of Cai Yong, the general of Hanzuo Zhonglang, Cai Yong has two daughters, Yanghu's mother is the second daughter, and the eldest daughter is Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji, who are famous all over the world.
Cai Yan's life experience is extremely bumpy, early married Hedong Wei Zhongdao, less than a year, her husband died of illness, Cai Yan returned to Chen Liu's hometown, after the Huns swept south, Cai Yan was obtained by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, lived in Hudi for 12 years, and gave birth to two sons.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao remembered the old relationship with Cai Yong, sent someone to Hudi with Jinbi, ransomed Cai Yan from the hands of King Zuoxian, and married her to Dong Ci, the governor of Tuntian. Later, Dong Ci committed a crime and was beheaded according to the law, but Cai Yan was unkempt and pleaded with Cao Cao, which exempted Dong Ci from the death penalty. In the end, the husband and wife returned to the mountains and forests, and the piano was harmonious, which can be regarded as a good death.
Cao Liang knew that Cai Yan had been forcibly taken as a concubine by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, but he didn't expect that this Zuoxian King was Liu Bao, and he didn't expect that Liu Yuan and Liu Hong were actually the two sons born to Cai Yan.
It was really a big flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family.
