Chapter 657. Turn against
War is as patient as playing with an embroidery needle!
From the Guanzhong rebellion in March last year to April now, even Wang Hou didn't expect to return to the expedition for such a long time, one year and one month! During this period, millions of stone of military rations and hundreds of millions of dollars in silver were spent, but in fact, there was a contact battle outside Tongguan and a small group battle between hundreds of people and hundreds of people around the grain road, and there was no decisive scale battle left.
However, Cao Cao's strategic purpose was all achieved! Occupy Tongguan, a strategic place to enter Guanzhong, and drag down the agriculture of Guanzhong! He is really a bad water, farming has been delayed for another month since March, until the beginning of April, dragged down to the big soldiers and old farmers, up to the small landlords rushed back to plough the fields, and then dragged to Cao Cao's satisfactory fighter!
"What? Decisive battle! Prime Minister, didn't you say that you would negotiate peace? Didn't you say that as long as Chang'an and Tongguan were handed over, the defense areas of the various ministries in Guanzhong and Liangzhou would be retained? ”
Looking at Yan Xing's unbelievable exclamation and Cheng Yu's gloomy sneer, Wang Hou couldn't help but shake his head, are these Guanxi warlords in Guanzhong holding back within the four passes, how stupid they must be in this narrow realm! They all rebelled and wanted to act as if nothing had happened!
Or maybe they were so naïve that they actually believed in Cao Cao's peace!
In Wang Hou's sneer, Mr. Cao slapped the table with a straight face, just like the positive character in the TV series who knocked down the traitor, and shouted in an extremely sonorous voice.
"This minister came to beg for thieves on the order of the Son of Heaven, and the thieves did not surrender, so there was a reason to return to the court? Go back and tell the lord of the Ru family, put down the weapons, dismiss the soldiers, and wait for the court to deal with it, if not, then gather the soldiers and horses, and fight with the prime minister! ”
At this time, Yan Xing was speechless, and only two trembling strands knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and then rushed out of the military tent eagerly with Cheng Yu, who had a solemn face and couldn't stop sneering.
This Cao Zong is really resolute, nesting on the north bank of the Wei River for half a year, this head, just ordered a declaration of war, expelled two Guanzhong envoys, and immediately launched an attack, the entire Cao camp is boiling, more than half a year is not in vain, from the rear one by one, enough to transport thousands of sampan boats.
In the spring, the water is dry, the water of the Wei River is also calm and not urgent, for a time the wooden boats are like ducks in the water, fluttering up bursts of white waves, the infantry carrying war horses and fine horses, quickly approaching the south bank, and more boats are quickly lined up and set up together to form a battle array pontoon.
Born in sorrow and died in peace, the confrontation has been in place for half a year, the two envoys have been in contact, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is okay to invite his family to drink a drink to recall the past, even if he is not happy, the Guanzhong army is also mentally paralyzed, and when this Ma Chao reacts and leads the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to gather again to prepare for the battle, the main force of Cao Zong's has completed the river crossing.
Five thousand tigers and leopards ride, people are also wearing heavy armor, horses are also wearing heavy armor, holding more than three meters of horse lance, a total of ten heavy formations, each heavy cavalry and even every horse is a selection of tall and burly, the west sun swaggers on this steel cavalry, the reflection of the cold light is like an iron mountain.
This is the real Iron Rider! Panting and running to the front of the formation, seeing that these steel troops were already lined up on the other side of the river, he looked back at the cavalry under his command, who were only wearing leather armor and holding two-meter wooden guns, and finally, shook his head solemnly, and took his own Ma family army, Ma Chao retreated to the camp gloomily.
The cavalry hedged the cavalry, his light spear cavalry and the tiger and leopard heavy cavalry used by Cao Zong to break the formation are really not of the same magnitude!
With Ma Chao's return to the camp, the 100,000 Guanzhong army did not immediately come out and press Cao's army back to the north bank of Weishui, but the generals of each family quarreled together. 56
In the inaction of the Guanzhong group of warlords, three pontoon bridges were built in one afternoon, and 130,000 Cao army fighters all crossed the Wei River and confronted these Guanxi warlords face to face on the Weinan Plain.
This night was destined to sleep uncomfortable, leaving the tent ordnance or something on the south bank of the Wei River, and in the middle of the night, there were only campfires flickering on the side of the Wei River, and the campfire was fragrant with the aroma of milk tea.
As one of the military rations, milk powder is so valuable that not the entire Cao army can eat it every day! But this time, Cao always took out all the surplus milk powder without hesitation, the essence of these fresh milk boiled has been mixed with sugar and tea powder, and then with specially dried glutinous rice balls to cook together, eat together with canned Liaodong fish, the amount is not heavy, but the calories and protein are full! It is best for a quick replenishment of energy.
Now Wang Hou has really experienced the feeling of waiting for the pillow, the confrontation has been a year, tomorrow, it is finally over, and he is also relying on a campfire, pillowing himself to pretend to be forced, and the chicken has never killed the long sword, unconsciously, Wang Hou is thinking of the grassland again, and remembering the tall naturalization city standing under the Eile River.
Wait until you get home! That doll should be a year old, too! Pity my incompetent father, so far this eldest man of the Wang family has no name! Don't be like his father who fights and kills all day long, then it's good to have a single name! And now that he is a father, he has saved a lot of money, and this son can also be a rich second generation, and he will be rich and noble.
Wang Wen Wang is rich! Listening to how it shows that he is a literate father, while thinking about it, he laughed evilly, and unconsciously, Wang Hou, the commander of the Left Route Army, also fell into a dream with the crackling of the firelight.
He still slept soundly, but Cao Cao couldn't sleep, when he followed Yuan Shao together in Luoyang Chang'an Flying Eagle Horse, there are few old guys left, Ming, and I want to knock down an old classmate in the past, the old classmates, Cao Cao can't say whether he is excited or emotional, and he also sat cross-legged in front of the fire, he used a deerskin flannel cloth over and over again, wiping the sword that had cut a gap in his hand.
In the midst of all kinds of nervous, complicated, and excited emotions, the night passed quietly.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Hou was awakened by the sound of a horn!
After all, in the next few decades, there are not many idiots like Cao Shuang, and no one is willing to give up his status as the emperor of the soil today, and those who can fight and survive so far are all heroes! Fight to the death, show your hegemony with blood, and want to make these heroes wear them just by virtue of military might, it is almost impossible!
Therefore, when Wang Hou anxiously turned over his horse and watched with a telescope, the Guanzhong Army, which had been in the army for more than a year, also went to war! In Wang Hou's telescope, a large horse-shaped weapon was waving in the morning breeze, and a group of cavalrymen wearing Qiang-style leather hats and leather armor were like carp crossing the river, rushing out quickly, forming a solid assault army under Huayin City.
In the Kansai Army, which was already full of fighting spirit, the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry was also ready, and planned to show the demeanor of Huangzhong knights to these Kanto visitors!
It's just that he also rode a horse and looked at the front of Cao Jun's left army, three carriages that were particularly weird and pulled large boxes, and Ma Chao's eyes still showed a strong sense of jealousy.
Under the banner, groups of armored infantry shouted and held spears and axes and quickly clustered together, forming a solemn array, in the loud horn sound, the shouts of the blood boiling, and even in the cold of the early morning, the heat of the sergeant and the white gas shouted out formed a white morning mist overhead
The war that will decide the 100-year period of Guanzhong is about to break out!
