Chapter 456: Cao Liang's Other Identity

All the generals are puzzled, it is very understandable that it cannot be attacked, they also know the defensive ability of the Golden Siege, if the Shu army wants to take the Golden Siege, it does have to pay a lot of casualties, and even if the casualties are very large, it may not be able to capture the Golden Siege, as the defense of the eastern part of Hanzhong, the Golden Siege can be called impregnable.

What puzzled the generals was that as soon as the Shu soldiers retreated, the Golden Siege was at their fingertips, isn't it a strange thing?

Jiang Wei smiled slightly and explained: "The lonely city cannot be defended, after our army retreats, the Wei army defending the city will inevitably abandon the city and go to the west city." But if our army attacks it very urgently, the Wei army will not dare to abandon the city, so it can only defend its ears, so if you want to take the Golden Siege, you can't reach it quickly. ”

All the generals were convinced, and said, "The general is high." ”

Jiang Wei looked at the Golden Siege and asked, "Who is the one in the Wei army who captured the Golden Siege?" ”

A general who knew the news immediately reported: "General Yu, the general of Wei who captured the Golden Siege is Cao Liang, the captain of the Western Changshi and the Yue Cavalry. ”

"Cao Liang?" Jiang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that he is the one who killed Zhuge Jin, the general of Eastern Wu, in Huainan last year?" ”

"It is this person, Cao Liang is the son of Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion, during the Battle of Huainan last year, he served as the general of Zhengnan to join the army, and it was precisely because of the merit of killing Zhuge Jin that he worshiped the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and the battle of Hanzhong was also the Yangping Pass where he led the cavalry to sneak attack."

Jiang Wei sighed lightly, his eyes became deep, when he was in Yangping Pass, Jiang Wei had already fought with Cao Liang. "This person will be my Ji Han's fierce rival in the future!"

The partial general was obviously proficient in all kinds of news, he smiled and said, "Cao Liang still has a double identity, but I don't know if the general is interested in listening to it." ”

Jiang Wei was suddenly very interested, and said, "What else does he have, let's hear it." ”

The general said: "If you count it, he is still the nephew of His Majesty today." ”

Jiang Wei was taken aback, and said a little incredulously: "Your Majesty's nephew? How is this possible? ”

The general smiled and said: "When the first emperor was in Jingzhou, he defeated Changhanpo, and two daughters fell into the hands of Cao Jun, which was obtained by Cao Liang's grandfather Cao Chun, and later a daughter was married to Cao Yan, the son of Cao Chun, and gave birth to this son. ”

Jiang Wei suddenly realized, in fact, Liu Bei's second daughter lost Cao Ying, and it was not a glorious thing, so there are very few people who know, Jiang Wei was born in Liangzhou, and the Shu State that surrendered when Zhu Liangliang was on the Northern Expedition, so he didn't know about it at all.

But this happened in the years of war, it is not uncommon, in the troubled times, everything is possible, Zhang Fei married Mrs. Isn't Xiahou Yuan's niece, when it comes to seniority, Ji Han's son of heaven has to call Xiahou Ba an uncle.

But identity is identity, and when it comes to the battlefield, you have to fight desperately, who will let them be their masters.

"It's kind of interesting." Jiang Wei looked at the head of the Golden Fence and showed a meaningful smile.

The Shu army is like the tide in the early morning, rising and retreating quickly, and it is still coming with great momentum, and in the blink of an eye, it has already retreated cleanly, leaving no one behind.

The Wei army, which was originally at the head of the golden city, was preparing for a fierce battle, but the Shu army had no intention of attacking the city at all, but only stopped under the city for half a moment, and then all retreated.

The generals of the Wei army were all puzzled, why did the Shu army come and go, could it be that there was something wrong with it?

Cao Liang naturally knew the reason why the Shu army did not attack the city, presumably it was not willing to increase casualties, this battle of Hanzhong, for the Shu army, was already a complete victory, it was time for them to celebrate the victory, the defenders of a small golden city were already insignificant to them.

"All go down to the city and prepare to retreat." Cao Liang gave the order short and forcefully.

Yanghu said with regret on his face: "Brother-in-law, such a dangerous Guancheng, you say give up, are you really willing?" ”

Cao Liang said indifferently: "What can you do if you are reluctant, do you pack and take it away?" The lonely city cannot be defended, the golden siege is too far away from the west city, and it is deep in the territory of Shu, it is impossible to defend it unless it is a heavy army, and if you really want to hold it, logistics support is a considerable problem. In fact, for us, Jinjinwei is a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. ”

The Golden Siege is the pass for Shu to defend the Wei State, and it is naturally not so important for the Wei State, even if the Wei army controls it now, it has no practical use, because there are important passes such as Xingshi Mountain in front, and it is impossible to use the Golden Siege as a springboard into Hanzhong.

More importantly, the distance between the Golden Siege and the nearest border pass of the Wei army is also more than 200 miles, and it also has to pass through the dangerous Golden Canyon, and logistics support is first of all a difficult problem.

Therefore, abandoning the city and leaving is the best policy.

After the order was issued, the Wei army moved quite quickly, because they originally came lightly, and they could leave the city after simply packing up, and the action was quite fast.

In addition, the Wei army defending the city was like an arrow, and they were unwilling to stay for a long time, so this return trip was quite fast.

Leaving the Golden Siege, the Wei army went all the way to the east, crossed the Golden Gorge with dangerous terrain, and entered the territory of the Wei State.

However, this is still far from the border fortress of Wei, the fortress that the Wei army sent troops to garrison is the Xicheng of Weixing County, Cao Liang led the army to drive for two days, only then did he catch up with the large army of the Wei army in Xicheng, and also met with the front troops and horses led by Du Pre.

When you arrive in Xicheng, you can be regarded as truly entering the territory of Wei.

Wei Xingjun is too busy waiting for Cao Shuang's arrival, I'm afraid that he will be a lifelong Taishou, and he will not have the opportunity to see so many dignitaries here, Wei Xingjun is too honest and fearful, and carefully entertains Cao Shuang and the generals, he also knows that the reason why Cao Shuang came to Weixing County is because of the defeat, didn't he see Cao Zaishuang's face, iron and blue, full of anger, Wei Xing Taishou didn't dare to anger Cao Shuang easily.

After the Wei army withdrew to Xicheng, this was considered to have time and free time to rest and recuperate, and the Wei army was exhausted and exhausted after days of hard fighting, and if it weren't for the fear of their lives, many people would not have been able to hold on to Xicheng at all.

Now that they have escaped the pursuit of the Shu army and escaped the crowded battlefields, the soldiers of the Wei army can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
