Chapter 239: Moving the Capital

Seeing that Liu Hou did not agree to send troops immediately to continue the Northern Expedition, Sima Yi couldn't help but get anxious, and asked Liu Hou several times to complain about the necessity of sending troops immediately. He believes that now that the Wei army is newly defeated, the soldiers are frightened, and the morale is low, it is a good time to beat the water dogs. The key is that if the time drags on for a long time, the Wei court will definitely move the capital, and when the time comes, Cao Pi will flee to Guanzhong, relying on the pass to defend it, then it will take a lot of trouble to clean them up.

Listening to Sima Yi's words, Liu Hou hesitated, although he knew that Sima Yi was right, and Cao Pi would definitely run away after a long time, but he was not happy to let him exchange the lives of soldiers for this fighter. He always felt that with firearms, it would not be a problem to have any city or pass in this era, even if Cao Pi fled to the ends of the earth, it was no problem, in the Three Kingdoms era, the most precious thing was human life, and cherishing human life was more important than anything else.

Sima Yi's persuasion was fruitless, so he went to Zhang Fei and Pang Tong and encouraged them to help persuade Liu Hou to send troops north. Pang Tong is also a top-level military advisor, so he naturally understands that the current fighter plane is rare, and agrees with Sima Yi's opinion. Although Zhang Fei was very unhappy with Sima Yi, he wanted to go north all the time to fight with the Wei army, but he surprisingly did not oppose Sima Yi's proposal.

So, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong also came to Liu Hou to persuade them to send troops, saying that they should not miss this opportunity to destroy Wei in one fell swoop, and said that they could let their legions go on a northern expedition. Liu Hou saw that the two top strategists were unanimously in favor of continuing the Northern Expedition, and even his second uncle came to persuade him, so he had to agree.

This time Liu Hou decided to let Zhang Fei and Pang Tong's army go out, they had 200,000 people, basically cold weapon troops, and they did not participate in that cruel blocking war, there was no consumption of war materials, and it was better to let them go than to let Ho

It is better for the elite of the G army to be consumed in vain.

Moreover, Liu Hou was not completely unreliable, because of the haste of the blocking battle, the Keqiu Killing Force and the Angry Birds Force could not be transported to the front line in time, so they were not used, and the ammunition in reserve was still sufficient.

Liu Hou ordered these two troops and half of the hot air balloons to follow Zhang Fei and Pang Tong's army and fully cooperate with them to capture the city. With these three long-range mass killing weapons, I believe that the casualties of the Shu army will be minimized.

The military situation was urgent, and after Zhang Fei and Pang Tong's army rested in Fancheng for two days, they set off on the Northern Expedition, the first target being Wancheng.

And now the Wei State is in chaos. Previously, Cao Pi adopted Wang Lang's opinion, and while migrating some of the imperial court organs and materials to Chang'an, he issued an edict to King Qin.

Although they were the kings of the world, the troops they relied on the most were Cao Ren's troops in Xincheng County. This army has as many as 300,000 people, and it fights with the Shu army all the year round, and it belongs to the elite of the elite.

The point is that they are very close to Xuchang and can reach Xuchang as quickly as possible to participate in the battle to defend Xuchang. However, what people didn't expect was that before King Qin's edict was sent to Xincheng County, this army had already been defeated by the Shu army. A Qinwang army, on which the Wei court had placed the greatest expectations, vanished at a jaw-dropping speed.

Of Cao Ren's 300,000 people, only more than 20,000 escaped in the end, and even the more than 20,000 people who escaped were mostly deserters, and only about 1,000 people were really collected by the Wei army. This is still because Xiahou Ba in Wancheng sent a lot of scouts out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, discovered the battle situation in Xincheng County and the existence of these routs in time, and sent people to collect these routs in time, otherwise these routs are likely to run away.

But the thousand that have been collected back have been ho

The fierce firepower of the G Army, which frightened the frightened rout, basically did not play a complementary role to the defense of Wancheng. On the contrary, they will bring panic to the barracks and play a negative role.

Speaking of the reaction of the Wei court, they were originally only prepared with both hands, and they still had the intention of resisting first, after learning that Cao Ren's army was destroyed, the whole court, where there were still people who could calm down, jumped up and down and pushed Cao Pi to move the capital quickly.

Cao Pi was also frightened, he didn't expect the Shu army to be so terrifying, the 300,000 army was wiped out in one day, according to the past understanding, so many people and horses, even if the master is a pig, he doesn't know any tactics, let the army stand there and let people slaughter it, it is impossible to be killed in such a short time, not to mention that the main general will be Cao Ren, a fierce general in a hundred battles.

At this time, he deeply realized how correct Sima Yi's original strategy was, not to mention 200,000, even if it was more than 300,000 Wei troops and Shu army field battles, they were also wiped out in a battle, if Sima Yi did not rely on Jiancheng and used a large army to make an encirclement to threaten the Shu army, it could hold it for so long.

If it weren't for the bad deeds of that hateful eunuch, maybe Sima Yi would still be firmly nailed to Xiangyang like a needle of the sea god. Not only Cao Pi had this idea, but many ministers in the court also had this idea, they only knew how to blame the eunuch, but they completely forgot how they attacked and impeached Sima Yi in the first place, saying that he was afraid of the war, did not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Shu army, and only dared to shrink in the city like a turtle.

However, this kind of thinking is only a brief appearance, and now the top priority is to flee as soon as possible, the Wei court, up to the emperor Cao Pi, down to some small officials, now know that Wei has reached a dangerous situation, and they all want to escape from Xuchang as soon as possible.

As a result, the relocation of the capital was immediately launched, regardless of the fact that many preparations had not yet been made, starting with Cao Pi, other dignitaries and nobles flocked to follow, and fled from Xuchang like a lost dog and moved to Chang'an.

In order to be able to escape for their lives as soon as possible, many people set out with a light car, only bringing a very simple amount of gold and silver, and a large amount of property and materials did not have time to follow them, so they ordered their subordinates to take care of the rear and find some carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts as soon as possible to transport everything that could be carried away.

As for those real estate, shops, land and other real estate, there is no need to think about it, it is impossible to sell it at this time, no one is a fool, everyone knows that the destruction of Wei is imminent, the enemy is about to invade this capital, and the future of staying here is uncertain, who will take over these real estate at this time?

In the midst of war, when the regime changes, the most valuable thing is this kind of real estate, which may be confiscated and requisitioned by the new regime, even if it will not be destroyed by the war. Even if you have a title deed, it is useless, and the new regime can turn these deeds and title deeds into a piece of waste paper by saying that it does not recognize the contract documents issued by the previous regime.

With the change of dynasty, most of the royal families and officials of the previous dynasty will be cleansed, and when the new regime enters Xuchang, there is no doubt that these high-ranking officials and nobles of the Wei State will become prisoners, and the new regime has enough reasons to confiscate the property of the prisoners.

What's more, in the feudal dynasty, the royal family can use the domineering words of "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister" to occupy the property and talents of the whole world, and it is also high-sounding.
