Chapter 116: The battle situation deteriorated, and Liu Zhang became furious

More than half a month has passed since Liu Xuewu's army entered southern Xinjiang, and he has not even seen a local native wherever he went, let alone where the southern barbarian army was. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and just when they were exploring and moving forward, the battle situation between the north gate and the east of Yizhou was not optimistic.

In the north of Yizhou, due to Cao Pi's all-out attack, Zhuge Liang and Duan Fei had to abandon Luoyang to avoid Chang'an. Because Liu Xuewu did not take the barrier of Luoyang Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang City was isolated and helpless, and it was not a place to defend for a long time. However, Chang'an, the old land of Sanqin, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it can be attacked and retreated. After thinking about it again and again, Zhuge Liang used the strategy of the golden cicada to get out of the shell, and used the straw man pennant to stand on Luoyang City, but the army secretly retreated, and when Cao Pi found it, it was too late.

As a result, the battle lines of the two sides began to spread in Chang'an, and a large number of people fled to Liangzhou one after another. Originally, Liangzhou was suffering and the population was scarce, but because of this war, a large number of people from the Central Plains flowed into it, which also indirectly contributed to the prosperity of Xiliang.

Why didn't you flee to Yizhou? In fact, there are also so, but the Shu Road is difficult, and to enter Yizhou, you must advance the Han Road to the Shu Road. Moreover, Yizhou is also in the midst of war now, and people of insight generally prefer to choose Liangzhou, which is not war-torn. Of course, there are many people who have fled to the state, and it depends on where the people are fleeing. Alas, it's still the same old saying, the people are bitter, and the people are suffering!

On the eastern front of Yizhou, the situation is very bad. Hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops swarmed and beat Liu Zhang, who only had tens of thousands of second-rate defenders, to the point that he could barely raise his head. If it weren't for the difficulty and danger of the Shu Road, the defenders were familiar with the terrain and battle, and it is estimated that they would have been annihilated long ago. This can be regarded as Liu Zhang's bad luck, originally his own 100,000 troops were stationed in Chang'an City, enjoying this spare time. It's a pity that the damned Yuan family came to attack, and he was directly transferred by his father Liu Yan to defend against the enemy. Liu Zhang, who was relatively arrogant, didn't think much about it and reported to the Lao Yizhou military camp with dozens of horsemen with him. was told that there are only less than 50,000 old and weak soldiers at present, and in the face of Yuan's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, Liu Zhang was suppressed and some of them wanted to vomit blood. finally relieved his breath and wrote an order to go to Chang'an to transfer troops, but Zhuge Liang replied to inform him that Chang'an was fighting with Cao Pi's army, and the troops were also very nervous, so he couldn't help it.

Okay, what else can Liu Zhang do if he says this to you. And he also received the news that his third brother personally came to lead the battle, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only hold on. Next, Liu Zhang could only stick to it, and the news that came with it was both good and bad. First of all, there was good news, his subordinates captured Luoyang City under the leadership of Liu Xuewu, but they didn't wait for him to be happy for a while. Bad news came one after another, Nanban and Yuan reached some kind of agreement, and actually invaded Wenchang County on a large scale. Fortunately, my father hurriedly transferred the third brother who had just won the battle, but it was okay if he didn't transfer it, but this transfer almost made Liu Zhang angry to death.

Liu Zhang watched Liu Xuewu wave his banner and gather more than 200,000 horses, and compared to himself, it took a lot of effort to beg his grandfather and grandmother to have these tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers. Well, who can tell me where these 200,000 soldiers went when I came to transfer troops before, and where they came out now.

It turned out that after Liu Xuewu repelled the Southern Barbarian invasion before, the 20,000 graduates from Xuewu's teaching concept became the core force of the 200,000 horses. In order to quickly restore the livelihood of the people in Yizhou and hoard more materials, Liu Xuewu ordered this army to distribute the military cantonments. made Liu Zhang go to the barracks, but he only saw the tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers selected by Liu Xuewu before, in fact, they are not really disabled soldiers, but second-rate soldiers who are slightly weaker than elite soldiers, and more importantly, they are all a group of veterans, veterans. Many people are Liu Xuewu who replaced the grassroots officers with the concept of learning and teaching, but they also got rich because of misfortune, these veterans are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they are born and raised in Yizhou. In the eyes of them, the endless cliffs and cliffs are nothing more than familiar with the road, so they can fight with the Yuan army.

Originally, the Yuan clan only sent a total of 100,000 troops and marched in two ways, but it was difficult to move in the Shu Road, and they had to join forces again. The latter suffered heavy losses, and more than 100,000 people were dispatched later. And Liu Zhang, who only has these veteran soldiers, can only take these hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops to go around in circles in this poor mountain and mountain, and live one day at a time. However, the latest news, Liu Xuewu actually led the army into the dangerous place regardless of the safety of Yizhou, didn't I see his younger brother and I struggling here? Liu Zhang expressed extreme incomprehension of this, and the latest battle report came from the north, and Luoyang was lost. That's right, what retreats to Chang'an, that is, Luoyang City has been lost. Liu Zhang, as a brave and unscrupulous general, he didn't understand any conspiracy and didn't care, and now he only knew that the north had lost Luoyang City, which had just been held in his hands. This is unforgivable in the eyes of Liu Zhang, who is a little paranoid about Luoyang, thinking about how much he spent at the beginning and did not take this former imperial capital. Of course, this is under the condition that Zhuge Liang did not do his best, it can be said that Liu Zhang's biggest dream now is to be able to lie on the dragon bed in the former imperial city and state capital and experience the supreme enjoyment. But this great spring dream was broken by the gorgeous and gorgeous, the uncle can bear it, and the aunt must not bear it. Liu Zhang's madness is very serious, no matter who has to pay the price.

Ten years ago, Liu Zhang, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, persuaded Ma Teng to unify Liangzhou. He also married Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Chao's sister as his wife, and the two sides became in-laws. This time he had no soldiers available, so in desperation, he could only send a letter asking for help to his father-in-law. Just yesterday, the messenger came to report that Ma Teng specially sent two brothers, Ma Chao and Ma Tie, to lead 20,000 cavalry to help. At this moment, Liu Zhang's confidence increased a lot, and then Liu Yanyou transferred 30,000 Hanzhong troops to him, barely raising an army of 80,000.

There are 60,000 foot soldiers, 20,000 cavalry, and a large number of explosives that Liu Zhang ordered to be transported.

In this Shuzhong, there were heavy troops in ambush around the Tianjue Valley under Mount Emei, and personally led people to attract the Yuan army to come. Under this heavenly valley, Liu Zhang buried thousands of tons of black powder, and the entire valley was like a powder keg that could explode at any time. And Ma Chao was ordered to take 20,000 cavalry to hide in another valley on the right side of the Heavenly Absolute Valley, as long as the Yuan army had entered the Heavenly Absolute Valley and the explosion began, they would kill from the Earth Absolute Valley to cut off the Yuan army's retreat.
