Chapter Seventy-Two: The Ghost Path
Seeing Liu Chan's escape, the Shu army in Yangping City couldn't help but look even more ugly, the king of a country is like this, it is a great humiliation, the ancients often said: The humiliation of the Son of Heaven is the incompetence of the courtiers.
Now Liu Chan's trip is no longer an ordinary shame, so the Shu army is angry, clenching the soldiers in their hands, willing to fight with the Wei army again, and unwilling to run away with His Majesty in this nest.
And at this moment, I saw the soldiers talking to each other, as if they were talking about something, and then, I saw the Shu army, who was angry and determined to be brave and righteous, his face was a little dull, to be precise, he was even more confused, and was drunk by Zhao Yun and other generals, and obediently withdrew to the city.
Under the city of Yangping, Cao Zhen held a sharp sword in his hand, looked at the Yangping City Tower, his eyes were domineering, as if he was looking at everything in the world, this was the first time since the outbreak of the Battle of Yangping, Cao Zhen supervised the army on the front line for the first time, and the effect was indeed good, or the bigger reason was that the Shu army "cooperated" well without any resistance, and the Wei army finally and for the first time attacked Yangping.
Because it was so easy, Cao Zhen was even more puzzled, and he had attacked Yangping Pass, which he hadn't taken for more than 20 days, and he got it?
In fact, in Liu Chan's view, it is more because of Cao Cao's influence, Cao Cao was suspicious during his lifetime, and in Cao Cao's regime, the clan group is undoubtedly more powerful, and in their eyes, the male lord Cao Cao is a god-like figure, so they often use Cao Cao to benchmark themselves, the most famous of which is Cao Ren!
As for the current Cao family, the only Cao clan relatives who can be on the stage are Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen is undoubtedly more suspicious than Cao Xiu.
"Slow!"
His eyes flashed, Cao Zhen shouted in front of the army, and suddenly because the Shu army retreated without a fight, the Wei army occupying the city gate couldn't help but be slightly stunned, a little puzzled, but full of awe at the majestic man on the black horse in front of the battle.
"Hander! Take 5,000 men into the city to explore the way. If there is any abnormality, withdraw immediately! ”
People are such strange animals, sometimes because of a certain guess or a certain feeling in their hearts, they always want to try it, otherwise they can't get over it in their hearts, and they are extremely uncomfortable.
"No!"
Cao Zhen has this problem, it doesn't mean that all the generals of the Wei army are like this, at least in the eyes of this Han De, it is no big problem, even if there is still a Shu army in the city, what can it do? Yangping has been lost, with their maximum of 10,000 men and horses, among which there are many wounded and tired soldiers, what kind of waves can they make? This is simply a free gift, 5,000 people are enough. Besides, at this time, the commander of the Shu army is not Zhuge Liang, but the incompetent Liu Chan, even if there is an ambush, he Han De is not afraid!
Immediately, I saw Han De riding a horse forward, and behind him, among the army, there was also a detachment of soldiers and horses following him, all of them were cavalry, perhaps because of the victory of Yangping, all of them were dragon and tiger spirits, full of might.
Yangping is the gateway of Hanzhong, but it is also a city, when Emperor Ling, the population is also full of 200,000, but with the spread of the war, the remaining population of Yangping is not much, a few days ago when the retreat into Hanzhong, the number was only more than 20,000 people.
In addition to the war, more people who started the war caused this situation, such as Liu Bei, Liu Bei Renyi, but the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Yiling were all initiated by him, although there were very sufficient reasons on the surface, but it is undeniable that it did bring endless disasters to the people of Shuzhong.
The battle of Hanzhong, has reached the point of "men should fight, women should be lucky", it can be seen that this battle has hurt the root of Shuzhong, as one of the main battlefields of Yangping Pass, first returned to Wei, and then returned to Shu, three years of war, but also buried countless people's lives.
In the blink of an eye, Han De led the army to the center of Yangping City, only to see a house in front of him that was different from the surrounding buildings, the structure was simple, compared to the surroundings, but the pattern was larger, and it was cleaner, although it was not magnificent, but it was also dignified, and this was naturally the general's mansion, Yangping is the gateway to Hanzhong, an important town in Shu, no matter who is the emperor of the soil in Shu, Yangping must have a general to guard, and this is where the Yangping guard will live.
Han De dismounted, looked around, and immediately smiled slightly, muttering: "If there is any ambush, the Metropolitan Governor is suspicious!" Search the city separately, and bring me everything that can be used and eaten, for it will be some time before our grain and grass can be delivered. ”
"No!"
After receiving Han De's order, the Wei army gradually dispersed, along the streets, and began to search the various urban areas of Yangping, while Han De stepped into the general's mansion.
Everything in the house is as simple as the outside of the house, but it is extremely neat and clean, not messy because of the war, and there is not even a trace of dust.
Although Han De was a little big, but he also found this, he couldn't help but have a trace of respect for Zhao Yun in his heart, it was Zhao Yun who had resisted them for half a month before, and the owner of this general's mansion was naturally Zhao Yun, and the mansion was not cluttered, which showed that in the face of their large-scale attack, Zhao Yun did not have a trace of panic, after all, the people had run away, and there was no one to clean it here.
Taking off the helmet, Han De sat in the first place, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, it was rare to take a rest, in September, after half a month of fighting, the clothes on his body were first soaked with sweat, and then dried by the scorching sun, so repeatedly, there was a strong smell of sweat and pickles all over his body, after all, there was no river here, and there was no extra water in the army for them to bathe.
Compared with the outside of the mansion, the lobby is undoubtedly much cooler, and a little sleepiness emerges, making him want to take a rest, but the metropolitan governor Cao Zhen is still waiting, and Han De does not dare to slack off, and shouts to the people beside him: "Go out and inform the metropolitan governor, everything is safe in the city, and the Shu army has retreated south!" ”
However, when he squinted, Han De felt that something was wrong, what was wrong? With a glaring of eyes, Han De's face changed slightly, and he finally realized that something was wrong, that is, there was no response to his orders in the room, and no one took action.
Han De couldn't help but look at the sides, only to see that more than a dozen people on both sides had wooden expressions, their eyes were pitch black, leaving no trace of the whites of their eyes, and there was black gas floating up and down their bodies, which looked extremely weird.
"Who?"
Looking around, except for these strange Wei troops, Han De did not find any other abnormalities, let alone the figure of the enemy, and the unknown is always the most terrifying, Han De is increasingly afraid.
"Hehe, General Han seems to be a little nervous!"
An unfamiliar voice came from the lobby, which could be said to have completely ignited the fear in Han De's heart, but Han De was not stupid, he also knew the other party's purpose, and tried his best to calm down, since the other party was so sneaky and didn't dare to show his face, he must not be stronger, even weaker than himself, otherwise why do you do this more?
As the words fell, a Wei soldier on Han De's right hand slowly walked out, his face was a little dark, as he walked into the hall, the increasingly dense black qi had covered the entire face and hands, and all the exposed skin was already dark, and with a burst of rise, the armor fell to the ground, and the black gas floated out, turning into a figure, it was that Deng Zhi!
"Ghost Road?!" Han De looked surprised, and there was a strong fear in the surprise.
