Chapter 69: Mengxian is blocked

Liang Fa's head was hung in the most eye-catching position of the Xicheng tower of Suiyang City early the next morning, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city was suddenly chaotic, yesterday's battle, in order to be able to make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop, Liang Fa transferred all the elite under his command, so that although there are still generals in the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, they were ready to lead the army to rush into the city after breaking the city last night, but Liang Fa was in the middle of the plan, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city was not rushed to the city wall and was repelled by the soldiers defending the city with arrows, although there were many people at the moment, but they could not organize a decent attack at all, let alone capture the city.

In just one morning, thousands of Yellow Turban troops fled, and the Yellow Turban Army joint camp for dozens of miles was gloomy and bleak.

At almost noon, Suiyang City, which had been closed the city gates, suddenly opened four gates, and Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Ding Li, and Fang Yue each led five hundred soldiers and horses out of the four gates and came to the golden array to provoke.

Outside the west gate, Dian Wei's burly body was like a fierce beast in the sun, coupled with the white-fronted tiger at his feet with his teeth and claws on the side, and the momentum of a person and a tiger erupted made the yellow turban army look different.

"Chen Liudianwei is here, who is not afraid of death come up and fight!" Dian Wei stood in front of the two armies, a pair of iron halberds thrust into the ground, and stared at the Yellow Turban Army in front of him with a fierce face, although there were only five hundred people, they were all imposing, and they faintly suppressed the momentum of the thousands of Yellow Turban Army in front of him.

Outside the east gate, Fang Yue did not talk nonsense, but commanded five hundred soldiers to form a formation, with a slow but firm pace towards the Yellow Turban Army, which was several times his own, under the strict formation, the Yellow Turban Army, which had lost its sharpness, was forced to retreat by the officers and soldiers whose strength was far less than his own, and no one dared to take a step forward.

The North Gate and the South Gate were also similar scenes, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was several times larger than the official army outside the city, was frightened by the fact that the number of officers and troops was even less than one-tenth of its own.

On the city tower, looking at the formation gradually beginning to be chaotic, and the army of the Yellow Turban Army with deserters constantly appearing, a smile flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Meng Hu, Zhang Wu, Gao Sheng and others beside him: "Pass on my military order, the three armies will go out of the city, this time, we will recover the Liang State in a battle." ”

"Whoa!" Meng Hu and the others hurriedly received the order and went to give orders.

Ye Zhao looked at Gao Sheng and said with a smile: "The recital book for the imperial court can be sent out." ”

Qiu Chi was also overjoyed, and bowed down when he heard this: "The lord's ascension is just around the corner!" ”

Ascension?

Ye Zhao nodded noncommittally, after this battle, Liang Guo is afraid that there is nothing to do with him, the new Liang Guoxiang should soon come to replace him, as for how the imperial court will arrange himself, Gao Sheng Ye Zhao estimates that it is impossible, at most his current official position has been stabilized, the code word is removed, and he will go somewhere to be a Taishou, and it is unlikely that he will be promoted again, one is the family, in addition to the name of Cai Yong's disciple, Ye Zhao's connections in Shilin are very weak, and secondly, he is too young now, just to the age of a weak crown, It is also difficult to make an exception for the imperial court to reuse.

"Lord, look, the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated!" Just as Ye Zhao was thinking about his next step, Qiu Chi on the side suddenly pointed out of the city with a look of surprise and shouted.

Ye Zhao came back to his senses, looked outside the city, and saw that the Yellow Turban Army finally completely collapsed after Dian Wei beheaded three generals in a row, as Dian Wei launched a charge, a piece of the Yellow Turban Army rushed to escape, and there were countless tramples on each other, and in just a quarter of an hour, it turned from the previous confrontation into a rout, and in addition to the accident, Ye Zhao felt that it was also reasonable.

"Chase!" Ye Zhao looked at the rout formation of the Yellow Turban Army and decisively gave the order to pursue.

At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army has been completely defeated, and even if there are ambush soldiers, they can be dispersed by these routs, and there is no need to scruple.

"Order Meng Hu and Zhang Wu to lead a thousand soldiers to defend the city, and all the rest of the soldiers will go out of the city to pursue, remember, those who surrender will not be killed!" Ye Zhao took the helmet strap from the hand of his guard, and instructed as he walked down the city.

"Obedience!" Qiu Chi arched his hand.

The soldiers and horses in the city were already ready to go, a moment later, when Ye Zhao went down to the city, the army in the city was already waiting in line, with Ye Zhao's order, in addition to the army that stayed in the city, the veterans in the city plus the security army recruited later, attacked 4,000 people under the leadership of Ye Zhao and all went out of the city.

Ye Zhao had already agreed with the generals before, the eight counties of Liang State, except for Suiyang, all fell, once the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, it would immediately counterattack, and take back the remaining seven counties in the shortest possible time, Fang Yue was responsible for the three counties of Mengxian, Ningling and Yuxian, Ding Li was responsible for recovering Xiayi, Dangxian and Luncheng counties, and the remaining Gu Shu was occupied by Ye Zhao Ling Guan Hai and Dian Wei, this place is not far from Suiyang, in addition to collecting Gu Shu, there is also the intention of supporting Fang Yue and Ding Li to protect Suiyang.

The whole army of Suiyang official army counterattacked, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, but in just one day, Ye Zhao converged with Dian Wei and Guan Hai, and easily took Gu Shu.

Gu Shu was originally the closest city to Liang Fa, and the first time he learned the news of Liang Fa's defeat and the defeat of the army, the Yellow Turban generals who garrisoned Gu Shu did not even resist, and after getting the news, they led their cronies to escape, causing Gu Shu to be easily taken by Ye Zhao.

Not only Gu Shu, according to the battle reports that came back in the next few days, even if there was occasional resistance in Dangxian, Yu County, Xiayi, Ningling, and Luncheng, it was not able to stir up too many waves, Fang Yue was a person who knew the soldiers, and Ding Li was also a veteran of the battlefield.

After Ye Zhao was sure that there was no danger around, he led the main force back to Suiyang, and began to preside over the restoration of people's livelihood, arranged for the county officials to put the government into operation, ordered the people to resume farming, and took advantage of the spring ploughing to plant grain first, as Ye Zhao said, after the war, it will be even busier.

After three days like this, the war in Liang gradually subsided, and on this day, Ye Zhao was discussing the resumption of commerce with a group of merchants in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he saw Qiu Chi hurriedly coming in from outside the door, and glanced at the Suiyang merchants who were recruited by Ye Zhao, and a look of anxiety flashed on his face.

"That's all for today, let's go back first." Ye Zhao looked at the merchants with a smile and said, "If there is a change, this official will send someone to inform you, and you will have to worry a lot about this Liang State business." ”

"Don't dare, I'll retire first." A group of merchants hurriedly got up and left with a sense of humor.

"What's wrong?" It wasn't until after everyone had retired that Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi.

"Fang Yue was accidentally defeated when attacking Mengxian a few days ago, and he was injured by sores, and Ding Li had already rushed to support first." Qiu Chi said solemnly.

"How's it hurting? Where is Fang Yue now? Ye Zhao frowned.

"A doctor has been sent to treat it, it shouldn't be heavy, but my lord, this Mengxian Yellow Turban seems to be quite tricky, according to the report of the person sent by Fang Yue, three days ago, Ningling and Yu County have been recovered, and Fang Yue has attacked several times in the past three days, but they have all been repelled by the defenders of Mengxian County!" Qiu Chi frowned.

"I don't want that Liang Fa's subordinates, and there are such characters." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's okay left and right, go and inform Dian Wei to bring the personal guard camp, and I will go there myself." ”

"Whoa!"
