Chapter 518: Pacifying Heluo
What kind of person is Liu Bei, he has been practicing for a lifetime, when Liu Feng said this, he understood where Liu Feng came to ask for guilt, this is obviously to sue.
"Zhengfang ......" After being silent for a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how to change it, but there is an emergency, and you can't blame this matter." ”
Liu Feng has been known as a monarch and a minister since he went to the palace, Liu Bei still doesn't understand that Liu Feng wants to retire the name of the father and son, but it is inconvenient to say it clearly, and Liu Bei ...... I mentioned it myself back then, and now it is impossible to return, so I didn't say anything, but I just called it, and I no longer called it a child, which can be regarded as a disguised acknowledgment.
"It's just a matter of military rations, the upper class is barren, and the government's grain stocks can't support it for too long." Liu Feng bowed and said.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Mrs. Liu is in a hurry to come here, I'm afraid I don't know about Luoyang, right?" ”
"Oh?" Liu Feng had already looked at Zhuge Liang, bowed and said, "Please show the prime minister." ”
"Bo Yuan has cooperated with the prince and the prince to break Cao Xiu a few days ago, and occupied Luoyang and Tiger Prison one after another, and the siege of the prince has been resolved, so there is no need to worry about it." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
When Liu Feng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The prince is really brave, since this is the case, the minister will retire." ”
"No hurry!" Liu Bei waved his hand, got up and came down, and pulled Liu Feng and said: "You have been in Shangyong for a long time, and now it is rare for you and me to get together, so it is not too late to go in Hanzhong for a few days. ”
"Command!" Liu Feng said gratefully.
Seeing the former righteous son behaving like this, Liu Bei sighed, a little reluctant and heartbroken, but he also knew that this was the best result, so be it.
……
Outside Yique Pass, Guan Ping's offensive against Sima Yi suddenly stopped.
In two days, the attack and defense between the two sides in the Yangrenju area were really fierce, and Guan Ping pushed the newly built catapults onto the battlefield, the main purpose was to smash the dozen catapults in Sima Yi's army at all costs.
This is not Liu Yi's order, but Guan Ping feels that if these dozen catapults fall into the hands of the Wei army and are imitated, the harm to the Han is not just a matter of a dozen catapults.
As for breaking Sima Yi, Guan Ping lost this idea in his heart after the first day of the battle, Sima Yi defended this large battalion without leaking, and the other party also had some weapons built by the Tiangongfang in his hands, Sima Yi dispatched it properly, basically, the offensive and defensive battles in the past two days were not much different from ordinary offensive and defensive battles, and Guan Ping's side could not take advantage of the equipment, and even suffered a loss on the issue of siege equipment, after all, there was still a certain gap between the siege equipment made by Liu Yi's disciples and the siege equipment made by Liu Yi himself. Although the numerical superiority can make up for some of it, it is not possible to put catapults into the battlefield all at once without plating.
In this case, it is a little difficult to break through Sima Yi, whose troops are still above his own family, but on the evening of the second day, Guan Ping received an order from the direction of Luoyang, according to Liu Yi's plan, the soldiers and horses of Gucheng can ignore it first, and first work together to eliminate Sima Yi's branch, it is best to capture Sima Yi, and finally pay attention to the soldiers and horses of Gucheng.
Guan Yu had already set off from the Tiger Prison, preparing to leave Xuanyuan Pass and attack Sima Yi with Guan Ping.
Therefore, Guan Ping chose to stop, firstly, to rest and recuperate, and secondly, to wait for Guan Yu to arrive, and then to defeat Sima Yi in one fell swoop, he believed that his father and son would join forces to defeat Sima Yi.
But it was this pause that made Sima Yi realize that something was wrong.
"The general hasn't heard from him yet?" After watching the Han army barracks, Sima Yi returned to the camp and invited Yue Lin and Zhang Hu to ask.
"No, the messenger we sent to Luoyang has not returned." Zhang Hu shook his head and said.
"Something's wrong, Zhang Hu, the equipment captured from the Han army in General Susu is transported to Jiaxian, Le Lin, you go to the army to spread more banners and straw men, and send scouts to intercept and kill the scouts of the Han army in this area, don't let them find out that our army is evacuating." Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
"This ......" Le Lin and Zhang Hu were stunned when they heard this, and said with some hesitation: "General, why is this so?" ”
"It stands to reason that the Han army has no grain and grass, and it should not stop and rest at this moment, but desperately attack the camp, but at this moment, Guan Yu suddenly stopped, indicating that the other party is not worried about the problem of grain and grass, and in Luoyang, it is the territory of our army, how can the people and horses sent have no news, I am afraid that there will be changes in Luoyang, I will retreat to Jiaxian first, wait and see what happens, and then make plans!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
"Even so, the situation in Luoyang is unknown, our army is not lost to the Han army now, why retreat?" Zhang Hu frowned.
"If Luoyang really changes, I'm afraid it will be too late to retreat, don't leave anything to chance!" Sima Yi shook his head: "The captured Han army equipment this time is of great significance to our army, and it cannot be lost!" ”
The equipment and uniforms of the Han army are too strong, and it is no wonder that during the period of fighting with Guan Yu, the Wei army was defeated and retreated, and even the Yique Pass was broken by Guan Yu in three days.
"But the general ......" Zhang Hu wanted to say that if Sima Yi guessed wrong, wouldn't he put Cao Xiu in danger?
"Retreat to Jiaxian, you can still block the Han army's grain road, and Jiaxian's back is against Yingchuan, you can attack, you can retreat, if the general is safe, we can still cut off the Guan Yu grain road, if the general is in trouble, we can at least retain some vitality." Sima Yi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is a military order, any accidents will be borne by me, and the two generals can only obey the order." ”
If it is other commanders, where can the soldiers under the account be questioned like this, but Sima Yi is not an ordinary person after all, and Zhang Hu and Le Qi are also ordinary generals, so they explained it in detail.
Zhang Hu and Le Qi glanced at each other, had to obey the order, and immediately began to follow Sima Yi's order, first moved the large equipment, and then began to set up banners everywhere in the camp on the grounds of strengthening the fortifications, so that it was difficult for Guan Ping in the opposite army to see the truth clearly, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to drive away or besiege the Han army scouts.
Guan Ping didn't know what Sima Yi planned for a while, but ordered people to guard it strictly, waiting for Guan Yu's army to arrive and attack Sima Yi's camp.
This confrontation lasted until dawn the next day, Guan Ping received news from Guan Yu that he had arrived, and immediately led the army to prepare to attack the camp, but this time, he was not hindered by anything, and easily captured the gate and opened the camp gate.
"General!" Zhou Cang walked quickly to Guan Ping's side and said in a deep voice: "There is no one in the camp, the camp is full of straw men, and the thief army has retreated to Jiaxian." ”
When Guan Ping heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly led the army south to pursue along Rushui, but in the area of Liang County, he encountered Sima Yi's ambush and lost a lot of men and horses, so he had no choice but to retreat, but when he came back, he was encountering Guan Yu's army.
"The last general is unfavorable in battle, and Sima Yi is gone, please surrender the prince!" Guan Ping knelt down in front of Guan Yu and said in a deep voice.
There is no father and son in the army, and in the army, the father and son have always been referred to by their official names.
"This person is alert!" Hearing this, Guan Yu sighed, looked at the cluster of arrows stuck upside down on his son's shoulder, shook his head and said: "This battle is indeed your carelessness, first go to the military doctor to cure the arrow sores, and then go to get thirty military sticks!" ”
"Junhou, this ......" Zhou Cang stepped forward when he heard this, wanting to dissuade him, these thirty military sticks don't sound much, but the military sticks in this army are two different things from the usual county orders to beat the board, and the thirty military sticks come down, and those with weaker physique can be killed directly.
"Huh?" Guan Yu's eyes were as cold as lightning, and he glared at Zhou Cang, who suddenly stopped talking.
Guan Yu has always been strict with Guan Ping, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that Guan Ping's ability is the closest to Guan Yu, especially in the past two years, whether it is martial arts or the level of commanding troops, Guan Ping is faintly the first general of the new generation.
"The last general commands!" Guan Ping nodded, stood up and went to find a military medical treatment.
Sima Yi retreated to Jiaxian, and if he fought again, the battle line would be longer, and now the land of Heluo was already beyond expectations, and Guan Yu still understood the truth that he could not chew too much, so he ignored Sima Yi for the time being, and was ready to settle the matter of Luoyang first, and then depending on the situation.
Luoyang, Hujiao, Yique Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and other places were successively obtained by the Han army, and Yanshi, Wushi, Pingxian, and Gongxian saw that Cao Xiu was defeated, and Heluo was gone, and there were no defenders themselves, so they surrendered one after another.
Guan Yu left Guan Ping to guard Yique Pass, and sent his own troops and Pang De to Gucheng, and at the same time, Liu Yi also led the army to join Guan Yu.
"Wang Ping, the defender of Gucheng, was promoted to a partial general after attacking Hanzhong with Cao Cao in his early years, and he has some ability, so he can send someone to try to surrender this person." In the big tent, Liu Yi and Guan Yu sat side by side on the handsome seat, judging from the information obtained, the name of the guard general Wang Ping made Liu Yi feel a little familiar, isn't this the general in the late Shu Han period in history.
According to history, this should be from the Han camp, so Liu Yi instinctively felt that this person could be recruited, and even used in the future.
However, what made Liu Yi frown was that Wang Ping did not surrender, but chose to defend and live and die with Gucheng.
Gucheng is already an empty city, and it is not difficult to break through Gucheng, but Liu Yi's favorite is Wang Ping, I don't understand why Wang Ping didn't surrender?
The next day, he personally put on his armor and came to the city and asked Wang Ping.
"Mohou is kind, Wang Ping understands it, but the general treats him well, and now that the general is dead, how can Ping surrender to the enemy?" Wang Ping stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.
Liu Yi understood a little in his heart, when Wang Ping surrendered in history, he didn't have much sense of belonging to Cao Wei, and he was not even reused, but now, Wang Ping can lead an army alone, which is obviously very valued by Cao Xiu, and from Liu Bei's defense of Hanzhong to now, nearly ten years have passed, and the sense of belonging has already been established.
Thinking of this, although Liu Yi was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't keep consuming it, and after returning to his own position, he would no longer block it, and let Guan Yu send troops to attack the city.
In order to ambush Liu Yi, Wang Ping brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but at this moment he was trapped in Gucheng, and after trying to resist for three days, Gucheng was opened and surrendered by the defenders, and the Han army took advantage of the situation to attack and capture Wang Ping alive, and the battle of Heluo ended here!
