Chapter Seventy-Four: Sima Yi's Five-Way Army

In Hokkaido, Han Dang led Hu Zong and Xu Shen to lead 30,000 troops to defeat Guan Cheng and Hu Wei's pirate rebels, and Hu Wei and Guan Cheng had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to an isolated island.

Han ordered warships to surround the island, and Hu Wei saw that he was desperate, so he sent an envoy to Han Dang's camp to ask for surrender. Han Dang decisively refused, and scolded: "If you and other thieves don't die, their crimes should be punished!" Come on, drag it out, cut it off! ”

"Spare your life, General!" The messenger shouted for help and was dragged out by the guards at the door.

"Xu Shen, pass the order, each ship will finish the remaining stone bullets, and prepare to land on the island tomorrow!" Han ordered now.

"Order!" Xu Shen received the military order and went out, and Hu Zong stood beside Han Dang and waited for orders.

Han Dang rubbed his eyes and said to Hu Zong: "Wei Ze, Ben Jiang's right eyelid has been jumping non-stop for the past few days, isn't there some variables on the Jiangdong side?" ”

"The Marquis of Chu is wise and martial, and Jiangdong is a natural country and the people are safe. The general must have been tired from days of travel. Hu Zong comforted Han Dangdao.

"I hope I'm overthinking!" Han Dang stood up and twisted his old waist, and then went out with Hu Zong to inspect the military situation.

Under the repeated blows of trebuchets and bed crossbows, the pirate rebels on the island finally couldn't hold on, and some pirates began to escape in small boats, but they were all shot by Han Tai's order.

"Kill! Annihilate the rebels, not a single one will be left! Xu Shen took the lead and led the army to land on the isolated island to fight.

There was a huge disparity in the number of the two armies, and even if the pirates resisted desperately, they could not escape the fate of annihilation in the end, and Hu Wei and Guan Cheng were also killed by the rebels.

Han Dang led the army and returned victoriously with the heads of the rebel leaders Hu Wei and Guan Cheng. It's just that Han Dang didn't know that in Wuchang, thousands of miles away, his son Han Zong had become one of the leaders of the rebels.

Han Zong was burning and looting with his rebels in Wuchang, and a rebel ran to the ground and reported to him tremblingly: "King of Chu...... Oh no, it's Han Xuan...... He's back! ”

"What! Han Xuan is not dead? Han Zong immediately panicked when he heard this.

"Han Xuan led hundreds of thousands of troops, and within a few days, he would be in Wuchang City." The rebel said in horror.

Han Zong was even more frightened to pee his pants, and that night Han Zong led his troops to flee north non-stop.

After Liu Du's army arrived in Wuchang City, Han Xuan heard that Han Zong had already run away with oil on the soles of his feet, and he was also angry and anxious. Han Zong's thousands of people are not worried, but his uncle Han Qi also rebelled, you must know that he was able to pacify Jiangdong at the beginning, and Han Qi's support was indispensable.

Another reason why Han Xuan invited Liu Du to Wuchang City was to prepare to set up this place as a joint headquarters as the starting point of their Northern Expedition.

"There was a fire in the rear, and I know you are in a hurry. How many soldiers and horses do you need, just open your mouth. Liu Du appeased Han Xuandao.

"The more the merrier." Han Xuan just wanted to go back to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the army of Chu was on the border, and most of Jianye's defenders had been brought by Han Xuan to prepare to rescue Chen Wu before, he didn't expect that Han Qi would jump out and rebel at this time.

"Good! I will allocate you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 sailors. I'm waiting for you in Wuchang to triumph! Liu Du immediately asked Zhao Yun to dispatch troops and horses.

Han Xuan ordered Chen Wu to lead Zhou Tai, Zhang Fei and others to return to the division by land to quell the rebellion, and he and Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and others would march quickly by water and rush back to rescue Jianye.

After Han Xuan led the army away, Liu Dugang was about to send a large army north to capture Nanyang, and suddenly outsiders urgently reported: Yizhou is in an emergency! The wealthy Yonghong of Yizhou rebelled in Nanzhong, killed Jianning Taishou Zhengang, imprisoned Zhang Yi, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding, the king of Yuewangyi, raised troops to respond! Xiqiang King Cheriji led 100,000 Qiang soldiers to attack Xiping Pass!

Liu Du was so angry that he punched the table and scolded: "Hateful! Rebellious ministers and thieves, I will kill them! ”

As soon as Han Xuan was sent away, Liu Du didn't expect that there would also be a rebellion in his rear. Although he left Zhuge Liang, Li Yan and others to guard Yizhou before, Liu Du launched an expedition to conquer the country, and the troops in Yizhou were empty, and the situation was very critical.

Han Xuan and Liu Du didn't know that these were all written by Sima Yi.

It turned out that when Han Xuan went to Jingling to meet Liu Du before, he sent Wei secret agents to find out the plan of the union of the two countries and reported to Cao Pi urgently. Cao Pi convened his ministers to discuss how to deal with it, but everyone had no good plan.

Suddenly, a man burst out of the squad and said, "Both countries have raised large armies to hold each other from afar, and the rear must be empty. If you don't take advantage of this time to enter the army, when will you wait? ”

It turned out that the person was Sima Yi. Cao Pi was overjoyed and asked Sima Yi: "What is Qing's good plan, let's talk quickly." ”

Sima Yi stepped forward and said: "If you only raise the troops of the Central Plains, it will be difficult to win." It is necessary to use a five-way army to attack from all sides, so that Han Xuan and Liu Du cannot be saved, and then they can be could. ”

Cao Pi was puzzled: "Where did you come from the Five Route Army?" Aiqing explained. ”

Sima Yi replied: "Ke Xiu wrote a book, sent an envoy to Xiqiang, saw the king Cheriji, bribed him with gold silk, ordered 100,000 Xiqiang soldiers, and first took Xipingguan from the dry road." This way too. Again repair the book to send the official to reward, straight into the southern barbarians, see the barbarian king Meng Shu, ordered 50,000 barbarian soldiers, attack Yizhou, Yongchang, Qiqi, Yue four counties, in order to attack the south of Xichuan. This two-way also. He could also send an envoy to the general Meng Da, raise 30,000 soldiers, and attack Hanzhong in the west. These three roads then sent people to Chu to meet with Han Qi, and promised to be a high-ranking official, so that the army would rebel against Chu and take Jianye. This four-way also. Then he ordered Cao Ren, the general of the chariot cavalry, to be the governor of the capital, to raise 80,000 troops, and to attack Wei Su as a response. This five-way army marches together, can Han Xuan and Liu Du'an do this? ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and immediately sent people forward. He also ordered Cao Ren to be the governor of the capital, leading 100,000 troops, and taking the Wuxuwu. At this time, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other old generals have been sealed as marquis, in Hebei, Xu, Qing and Hefei and other places to guard the Guanjin Pass, so no longer called.

Jianye, Han Qi led more than 50,000 rebel soldiers to Jianye City, and Zhang Ba, a Chu general stationed outside the city, saw that Han Qi was powerful, so he led 8,000 Chu troops to surrender.

Han Qi's 60,000-strong army surrounded Jianye, and the soldiers and civilians in Jianye City were all panicked. Han Xuan's son, Han Xing, climbed the tower to encourage the army and the people: "The rebels are unpopular and cannot last long. My father has learned of the changes in the rear, and he will definitely lead his army back to the rescue! Jianye City is high and deep, as long as the whole city of soldiers and civilians swear to stick to it, we will definitely be able to defeat the rebels! ”

"Swear to live and die with Jianye!" Chen Wu's second son, Chen Biao, raised his fist and shouted.

"Swear to live and die with Jianye!" Jianye guard Huang Xu also shouted, and the people in the city were all excited and shouted.

"Ahem, ahem...... Xing'er, go back and protect your mother! I'll leave it to me here! Han Hao walked over with the support of several sergeants.

Han Xing hurriedly went over and helped Han Hao up: "Uncle, why are you here?" Your body ......"

"Don't worry, my old bones are still of some use!" Han Hao nudged Han Xing away and said resolutely.

Since the news of Lu Xun's death came from the front line, Han Ya also became seriously ill due to excessive sadness, and searched for good medical treatment. The son-in-law died in battle, his daughter fell ill, and the successive blows aggravated Han Hao's original condition a lot.

Han Haoqiang dragged the sick body to stand on the city tower, looking down, although Han Qi was old, his body was very tough. Han Qi was escorted by the rebels to urge his horse to the place where the city was an arrow, and ordered his son Han Ning to shout towards the city: "Han Hao! Open the gates and surrender! Otherwise, our army will invade the city, and there will be no young or old! ”
