Chapter 1171: Same Fate

Xuan Miao was besieged by many Han army soldiers, and he broke through with all his might, but the number of Han troops was too large, and he couldn't break through at all, plus the Han army had mint leaves in his mouth, and his illusion was invalid.

The encirclement of the Han army is getting smaller and smaller, and Xuan Miao is becoming more and more anxious, and he continues to draw out swords, and around him, the sword light and sword shadow, are about to form a sword curtain.

However, this could not stop the advance of the Han army.

The encirclement of the Han army in the front row became smaller and smaller, and the sword curtain collided with the Han army's shield array, and the sparks splashed up in clusters.

The halberds and spears that poked out from behind the shield array stabbed towards the mysteries.

The mystery is that you can't block the front and the back, and you can't protect the left and the right.

It didn't take long for his body to be cut by more than a dozen halberd spears, and on the ground around him, the severed halberds and spears were paved with a layer.

Xuan Miao is a human being after all, not a god, his physical strength is limited, his moves are getting slower and slower, and there are more and more wounds on his body.

Soon, a spear pierced into his lower back, causing Xuan Miao to snort in pain, swinging his sword backwards, clicking, and the spear slashed, and he immediately swept a sword backwards.

Sand! The blade of the sword could not sweep away the Han soldiers, and was blocked by the shield, and a long strip of sparks swept out on the shield surface.

Burst! There was another muffled sound, and another spear pierced into Xuan Miao's lower abdomen, and Xuan Miao screamed in unbearable pain.

Poof, poof, poof-halberds and spears stabbed from all directions, stabbing out bloody holes on Xuan Miao's body, and there were bursts of heart-rending screams in the crowd.

When the fighting stopped, the Han troops who had gathered in a group retreated.

As the people retreated, looking at the center of the battlefield, only a mass of flesh and blood remained.

Xuan Miao was besieged and killed by the soldiers of the Han army, but on the other side, Cen Peng was not good.

Xuan Miao stabbed Cen Peng three times in the lower abdomen, which was already a fatal wound, and the dagger used by Xuan Miao was also quenched with poison.

Cen Peng didn't have time to leave his last words, and the person broke his breath.

The soldiers of the Han army, led by Zang Gong, gathered around, looking nervously at the medical officers around Cen Peng.

Several of the medical officers looked at each other, then stepped back together, kneeling and prostrating.

Seeing this, people suddenly understood what was going on.

Whoa! The soldiers of the Han army present all knelt on their knees, wept bitterly, and cried: "General! ”

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding people also knelt on the ground and cried with the soldiers of the Han army.

Throughout the ages, if you want to say that you have used assassins to the extreme, you really have to say that you are Gongsun Shu.

Liu Xiu sent two armies to attack Yizhou, and one was to fight from Liangzhou to Yizhou with the Western Expeditionary Army as the core.

As a result, the chief general of the Han army, who was also the chief general of the Western Expeditionary Army, was assassinated and died in Wudu County.

The other way is the Han army with the Southern Expeditionary Army as the core, attacking Yizhou from Nanjun, and as a result, the Han army's chief general Cen Peng, led his soldiers to the bottom of Chengdu's nose, and saw that he was about to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Shu, but at this time, Cen Peng was also assassinated in the army and died.

The two Han armies, the two Han army commanders, suffered the same fate, which is really embarrassing, and it has to be sighed that the Chengjia court used the assassin assassination to the extreme.

Cen Peng's life is full of ups and downs and legends.

Back then, when Liu Xiu followed his eldest brother to rebel in Nanyang, Cen Peng was their fierce rival, even if the Han army at that time had captured the entire Nanyang, Cen Peng still occupied Wancheng, the county town of Nanyang, and would rather die than surrender, desperately resisting the Han army.

Wancheng was trapped for more than a year, impregnable, the Han army was helpless with Cen Peng, and finally because the food in Wancheng was exhausted, the soldiers of the whole army, and even the people of the city, had no food to eat, Cen Peng was sympathetic to his subordinates, and even more sympathetic to the people in the city, so he was forced to surrender to the Han army.

Later, Liu Xiu appeased Hebei, and Cen Peng happened to arrive in Hanoi, so he surrendered to Liu Xiu.

Transferred to Liu Xiu's command, Cen Peng's magnificent war history officially began, he first followed Liu Xiu, pacified Hebei, then followed Liu Xiu to pacify Hanoi, and then followed Liu Xiu to capture Luoyang.

The Han army was ineffective in the southern expedition, Wu Han slaughtered the city of Xinye, aroused the anger of the people, it was Cen Peng who stepped forward, replaced Wu Han, and carried the banner of the southern expeditionary army, first swept Nanyang, and then led the army into Nanjun, and swept away Qin Feng, Tian Rong, Yancen and other warlord forces.

From then on, the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Cen Peng was stationed in Nanjun, and with the strength of an army, it stubbornly resisted round after round of large-scale attacks of the Shu army.

Nanjun has been in turmoil for many years, but it is incredible that Cen Peng has governed Nanjun very well, with a Nanjun, he has fed the Southern Expeditionary Army, and when the Luoyang Imperial Court was overwhelmed by the food problem, the Southern Expeditionary Army did not add a little trouble to the imperial court, and his life in Nanjun was quite nourishing.

Cen Peng is not only an excellent general, he is also an expert in local governance, otherwise, Liu Xiu would not be able to make Cen Peng both the pastor of Yizhou and the Taishou of all counties in Yizhou.

When the Luoyang Imperial Court made the strategic decision to attack Shu in an all-out way, Cen Peng's life was like a hanging.

He led the Han army to open the Bashu gateway Jiangguan from Nanjun, fought all the way from Jiangguan to Jiangzhou, and then opened Qianwei County from Jiangzhou, all the way to Wuyang, and then made a surprise attack from Wuyang and conquered Guangdu.

The lone army went deep into the hinterland of the enemy camp thousands of miles away, no one could stop it, and no one could defeat it, so that no one in the Chengdu court dared to face the battle, and Gongsun Shu looked up to the sky and sighed, where did this come from?

Unlike Laishe, after Laishe's death, Laishe's body was transported back to Luoyang, while after Cen Peng's death, his body was difficult to transport back to Luoyang, firstly, the road was long, and secondly, the Han army could not retreat at all now.

Once retreated, Gongsun Hui and Wang Yuan in Zizhong will definitely lead the Shu army to intercept it, so that their Han army, which has only 50,000 people, will be surrounded by the Shu army and threaten to be annihilated.

Cen Peng's body can only be buried here in Wuyang, on the spot.

Cen Peng died, but the people of Shu all remembered Cen Peng's benevolence.

The people of Shu spontaneously set up a temple for Cen Peng in Shu to worship the general of Zhengnan who implemented the Han system in Shu and loved the people like a son.

Whether a person is virtuous or not is not up to himself, but to the people.

In the enemy's sphere of influence, let the people in the enemy's territory set up temples to worship, and Cen Peng's character can be seen.

Especially compared with the Wu Han behind Cen Peng, the people of Shu should indeed miss Cen Peng.

Cen Peng's assassination and death not only made the Han army and the people grief, but even the Shu officials who came to Cen Peng were equally sad.

The speed at which Cen Peng led the army to advance was too fast, and many officials who came to defect in Shu were on the way over, and they had not seen Cen Peng, among which the largest official position was Rengui, who was also one of the kings with a different surname who was canonized by Gongsun Shu, and the king was called King Qionggu.

When the news of Cen Peng's assassination reached Chengdu, the whole court of the Cheng family was simply relieved, just like the New Year, all of them were happy and encouraging.

When the news reached Luoyang, the Luoyang court immediately fell into shock and grief.

Seeing that Cen Peng was about to capture Chengdu, the battle of Pingshu, victory was in sight, but at this critical juncture, Cen Peng was assassinated and died, which was too fatal.

People seem to see the shadow of the Western Expeditionary Army from the Southern Expeditionary Army, is it possible that the Southern Expeditionary Army's attack on Shu should be the same as the Western Expeditionary Army, giving up halfway, and like the Western Expeditionary Army, the whole army will retreat halfway?

This is non-existent.

After Lai She's death, neither Geng Yi nor Gai Yan was able to take over the Western Expeditionary Army, and after Cen Peng's death, behind him, there was a Wu Han who repaired ships in Yiling.

Whether it is prestige, prestige, leadership, and command, Wu Han succeeded Cen Peng and commanded the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was more than enough.

Wu Han, who was in Yiling, was also extremely shocked when he heard the news of Cen Peng's assassination, and repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the news, and after receiving a positive reply, Wu Han gasped.

Between Wu Han and Cen Peng, it is impossible to say that there is no knot at all, the Southern Expeditionary Army was created by Wu Han, and then Cen Peng took over; Crusade against Gongsun Shu, Wu Han was the main general, and then was taken over by Cen Peng.

For Cen Peng's assassination, Wu Han's heart was not very happy, after all, it was his own side that lost a general, and he was worried about the 50,000 elite Han troops led by Cen Peng.

The 50,000 Han troops have all reached Guangdu, only a few dozen miles away from Chengdu, Cen Peng died at this time, what should these 50,000 soldiers do?

Will they be able to withdraw from the hinterland of Yizhou unharmed?

Just behind them, Gongsun Hui and Wang Yuan, who are stationed in the capital, can they give them a chance to return the same way?

50,000 Han soldiers, life and death are tied to the front line, and they may be surrounded and annihilated by the Shu army at any time, after Wu Han heard the news of Cen Peng's death, the first thing he thought of was the 50,000 Han army, and at the same time, he was shocked by the white sweat of his body.

He wrote a letter as soon as possible and sent someone to Zang Gong in Wuyang.

In the letter, Wu Han, as the commander of the Han army, first appointed Zang Gong as the chief general of the army, and then told Zang Gong to quickly lead the army to retreat south, and could not return the same way, let alone stay where he was, and led the army south to Nan'an.

Nan'an is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city is hoarding a large amount of grain in Qianwei County, their own side preemptively captures Nan'an, and garrisons in Nan'an for three or five months, it is not a problem, to wait for reinforcements, which can save the lives of the soldiers of the army.

After Cen Peng's death, the 50,000 Han army was already in chaos, and at this time, Wu Han's letter was quickly sent to Wuyang, which was tantamount to a timely rain, which greatly stabilized the mood and military spirit of the Han army, and also allowed the Han army to find a way forward.

As Wu Han said, their Han army, which went deep into the hinterland of the enemy camp, retreated to send them to death, and staying in place was also waiting for death.

At the critical moment, Zang Gong replaced Cen Peng, carried the banner of the main general, first recalled the cavalry stationed in Guangdu, and then led his troops south.

The Han army was about to withdraw, and the people who had defected to the Han army asked to follow the Han army south to Nan'an.

Zang Miyaben was reluctant to bring these Shu people, as far as his own side was concerned, these people were a burden, and there might be how many assassins with hidden evil intentions were hidden in them.

But thinking of Cen Peng's attitude towards the people of Shu before his death, Zang Gong finally brought these people with him.

Hearing the news that the Han army was going south, now the ministers of the Chengdu court have come to the spirit, and they have asked Gongsun Shu to go to war.

Gongsun Shu sent his brother, Gongsun Guang, to lead 50,000 Shu troops to pursue the Han army.

Because there were a large number of people mixed in the Han army, the speed of the Han army going south could not be as fast as possible, and seeing that Gongsun Guang was going to chase and kill, Zang Gong led his troops, turned around and killed a horse gun, and attacked the Shu army.

Cen Peng was assassinated and died, and the soldiers of the Han army were full of grief and anger, and they were all holding back a cloud of anger in their hearts.

Now that the two armies are fighting, the Han army vented all the anger in their chests on the Shu army.

In the confrontation between the two sides, the Han army defeated the pursuing Shu army on the frontal battlefield, and defeated the Shu army of Gongsun Guang.

Gongsun Shu led the remnants of the army to defeat and fled back to Chengdu in a hurry.

Gongsun Shu thought that Cen Peng was dead, the Han army lost its backbone, and its combat power must have decreased sharply, at this time, no matter who was sent to attack the Han army, it would be able to win a complete victory, since this was the case, this credit would naturally be given to his own brothers.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Guang really gave him a 'long face', he was defeated in the battle, and he was defeated, he was killed by the Han army and lost his armor, and almost died in the chaos.

Repelled Gongsun Guangbu, and the Han army became much smoother in the following retreat.

Soon, the army arrived in Nan'an, Zang Gong personally went into battle, led the Han army to attack the city, the Han army soldiers in one go, tore through the defense of Nan'an, and attacked the city.
