Chapter 140: Wang Lang's Death, People's Information
It has been a day and a night since Liu Xuewu's troops came to the city, and there was still no sign of withdrawal the next day, and there was no reply to Shi A several times in secret. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info estimated that the trump card killer sent by Cao Pi Shi A also failed, and Wang Lang, who had already pinned great hopes on him, panicked. You must know that Shi A's status in Cao Pi's mind is like that of an emperor, and the concept of being a teacher for one day and a father for life is very popular in this era. But because of the wrong decision on his side, Shi A died because of this, and it is estimated that he Wang Lang will not benefit.
On the contrary, Sima Yi, who has always been not optimistic about this assassination, has an expression that has never happened, and organizes the army to resist. However, Yuan Yao, who also held heavy troops, was hanging high on his own business, and said from beginning to end that this was an internal decision-making issue on their Cao Jun's side, and it was difficult for him to participate as an outsider who came to help. This is just stumped the initiator Wang Lang, who is too superstitious about the myth of invincibility in history. After defeating Lu Bu with his own eyes when he was in Luoyang, he didn't take Liu Xuewu seriously. You must know that this is a mortal mission, and after thinking that as long as he can successfully kill Liu Xuewu, Shi A's death is also worth it. Even if Cao Pi asks for the guilt, he has a way to shirk it.
But when Liu Xuewu ordered someone to hang Shi A's head on a bamboo pole and scolded the battle outside the city, Wang Lang was desperate here. He could already predict Cao Pi's anger after learning about the situation, and he also thought of his newborn grandson. With Cao Pi's ruthless personality, Wang Lang really didn't dare to continue imagining.
One locked himself in his room until the guards in the back came to ask for instructions on what to do next because of the situation outside. Only then did he find out that Wang Lang, who was originally seventy or eighty years old and extremely afraid of death, actually hanged himself, and left behind the story of his and Shi A's plan to assassinate Liu Xuewu, and after the assassination failed, he Wang Lang had no face to see the lord Cao Pi, and committed suicide to apologize and show his loyalty.
In order to protect his family and leave himself a reputation of loyalty and righteousness, Wang Lang died well. It's just that Sima Yi outside has been harmed, and most of Sima Yi's descendants have lost most of them, and now Sima Yi's men and horses in Chen Liu's army only account for one-third, and the people and horses who got rid of Yuan Yao are not counted, and the rest are all people from Wang Lang's faction. Originally, under Wang Lang's coordination and command, it was still cooperative, but now Wang Lang is dead. This part of the troops lost control in an instant, and it was not known who deliberately messed up the muddy waters. The reason for Wang Lang's death circulated in the army in several different versions, the most convincing of which was pointed at the commander-in-chief Sima Yi. There's no way, everyone knows that Wang Lang and you Sima Yi are rivals, and now Wang Lang is dead, and he committed suicide. This is not forced to be helpless, just by virtue of which Wang Lang, who is usually the most afraid of death and life, will also have the courage to commit suicide, no one believes it. At this moment, Sima Yi indirectly took this black cauldron on his back, and the people who originally belonged to Wang Lang's department immediately went on strike. Under the command of several of Wang Lang's henchmen, they guarded Wang Lang's body to the death, not letting anyone approach, and even asked Sima Yi to let him go, they wanted to escort Wang Lang's body back to see the lord Cao Pi and ask the lord to be the master.
Now is the time when Liu Xuewu's army is pressing, and Chen Liucheng is not in danger of survival. This group of soldiers didn't care about the overall situation, didn't listen to the order, and now they are still making trouble to go back and complain to Cao Pi. What to sue, what to do. If these people are really allowed to leave, it is estimated that Wang Lang will die, and Sima Yi will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. What's more, with the loss of this part of the army, Chen Liucheng is still Cao Pi's territory. Don't look at Yuan Yao saying that he was allied with reinforcements to help, and according to his current situation, he will take his place. No matter what the situation is, it is not what Sima Yicheng can afford now. Sima Shi, who has always been more extreme, was angry and concealed that Sima Yi took his own army to directly arrest the generals of Wang Lang's lineage, and wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to forcibly annex this part of the people left by Wang Lang.
Of course, he can be used as an equal match with Sima Yi and compete with Wang Lang's forces. How could there be no capable people among them, the situation that was originally in Sima Shi's imagination of a blow and collapse did not happen. Instead, the captured general shouted in front of his soldiers: "Master Situ, we will come down to accompany you." Before Sima Shi's command could reflect it, he committed suicide by grabbing a knife. This inspired the blood of this group of soldiers, and a centurion took the lead and shouted: "Since Sima Lao Thief didn't live otherwise, then why should I die for him, kill, and avenge Lord Situ and the generals." ”
At this time, the situation in Chen Liucheng was even more chaotic, and by the time Sima Yi and Sima Zhao heard the news and arrived, the battle had been fully launched, and even the bull python who came to be a peacemaker died unexpectedly in the arrows of the chaotic army.
However, Yuan Yao, who was also in the city, was cheating and watching the battle, and had no intention of participating in it at all. In his eyes, he also hopes that Cao Jun can die more.
But when the war drums outside the city sounded, Sima Yi and Yuan Yao in the city reflected that this ****** was definitely Liu Xuewu's trick. It's a pity that the Cao army on Sima Yi's side has been transferred to clear out the rebels, and they can't defend the city at all. Yuan Yao, who was originally leisurely, scolded and took the soldiers to the top first. You must know that although Chen Liucheng is not tall or big, he has a natural defensive advantage. A moat more than ten meters wide perfectly protects Chen Liucheng, that is to say, if Liu Xuewu wants to attack Chen Liucheng, he needs to cross the moat more than ten meters wide first, but how deep the specific moat is is unknown. If you want to cross this moat safely, you can get close to the wall of Chenliu. Therefore, the siege tools such as ladders and chariots are useless here, and they were not wasted in vain on the first day of Liu Xuewu's arrival in Chenliu. Rather, they are trying to find a way to deal with this special geographical situation, and there are not many cities like this, and they are generally small land islands with fast protrusion in the center of the direct flow of rivers on a certain day. The city was built on this small island according to local conditions, and it was entered and exited by the usual suspension bridge.
Fortunately, when Liu Xuewu came to Chenliu, there were a lot of homeless people gathered on the edge of the city, and they scrambled to enter the city first, and many of them fell into the moat. knew the depth of the moat, and all the actions after the arrival of Liu Xuewu's army deeply moved those people. Among them, there are some more strategic, who know the problems faced by Liu Xuewu in attacking the city. Compared to their thoughts, it is actually very simple, that is, revenge, since you are ruthless to me, then don't blame me for being unjust.
informed the people on Liu Xuewu's side, and Liu Xuewu summarized and compared the information collected from the people, and then summoned all the generals overnight to set a strategy for the next day's attack. (To be continued.) )
