Western Regions, Great Western Regions City, Ma Chao received five battle orders from Chenhe Country and was excited.

"National teacher, the great march of the River Kingdom today is the time for my Ma family to take revenge. Now the total number of soldiers and horses of the Wei State is only four or five hundred thousand, and the Chenhe army is pressing, and it will go all out to meet it. ”

Zhou Budo said: "If the king wants to take back Liangzhou at this time, it is naturally an opportunity. However, at this time, the army is building railroad tracks, and the mountains and roads around the Green Ridge are dangerous, and the railroad tracks from Dawan to Daxiyu City will be opened in March, and the 100,000 troops will be suddenly transferred, which will have an impact on the construction period. ”

Ma Chao suddenly fell into a dilemma, and signed a contract with Chenhe State last year, that is, before March this year, the railway track from Daxi Regions to Dawan must be opened to traffic, otherwise the project cost will decrease step by step according to the delay time.

General Pang De said: "Your Majesty, the national teacher, I think things have priorities. At this time, if our Great Western Regions sent troops, it could relieve a small part of its pressure in the east, so that Wei could not take care of each other. Wang Shang might as well call Yang Yuanshou and explain the matter first, if he agrees to delay the project for two months, it will not be a problem. ”

"Well, that's very good, I'll call Yuan Fu Yang immediately."

Ma Chao didn't know that Yang Xi was waiting for his call.

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he got permission to extend the construction period, and immediately raised 100,000 troops, and obtained an additional 100 artillery pieces transferred by Huang Zhong, the commander-in-chief of Central Asia, for attacking Yumen Pass and Yangguan.

Luoyang, the Imperial Palace, Cao Pi gathered civil and military, with Yu Ban, Hu Chuquan, Bu Dugen, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and other generals, divided into five ways to attack, to welcome the military horses of the Chenhe country.

As for Ma Chao in the Western Regions, Cao Pi actually worshiped Sima Yi as a general, and personally led an army of 100,000 to welcome Ma Chao.

The Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Chuquan and Xianbei Wang Budugen respectively attacked Zhang Liao of Liaoxi County and Weigua Department of Donglai County, and these two also led 70,000 troops each.

As for the three-way army in the south, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban each led 70,000 troops to defend it.

However, it was said that Yu Ban led the army to the south and attacked Xinyang, and Mao Luan in the Jiangxia Theater had already arrived in Xinyang City.

The planes flying indiscriminately over the Wei State were all the air power of the Chenhe State, the 100,000 troops, the air force, and the fortress artillery trucks, all of which made the Wei military horses feel terrified.

Yu Ban didn't know the inside story, and couldn't figure out what Emperor Wei Wen thought, could he rely on this bit of flesh and blood in his hands to block other people's aircraft and artillery?

To Yiyang County, in the forbidden deep ditch and high fortress, build fortifications, where do you dare to take the initiative to enter the army, just stick to it and wait and see what happens.

In Xinyang City, Mao Luan was promoted, and Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu, and Ding Yi attended the military meeting.

Mao Luan threw out the question as usual and asked the generals.

Deputy Commander Zhou Taidao: "Commander, our army today is not at the same level as the enemy in terms of numbers and equipment. It is better to bombard it directly by the air force, and then the fortress artillery cart opens the way, the artillery regiment covers, and the infantry corps presses up, and it is completed in one battle, and the forbidden 70,000 troops are directly wiped out under the city of Yiyang, and the first merit is achieved. ”

Zhou Tai This is the conventional combat method of modern legion operations, and if it goes up like this, it is basically crushing.

Mao Luan shook his head and said: "The art of war, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, such a tactic, although there is a certainty of victory, but killing 10,000 enemies, self-damage has to have a thousand, it is not advisable." Do you have any other comments? ”

Zhou Tai also knew that the commander was right, so he didn't say anything, so at this time, Yang Xiu, who was present, stood up and said: "Since Commander Mao's words are the most important, Xiu has a word here, but it can give Commander Mao a reference." ”

Mao Luan saw that this person was Yang Xiu.

When the head of state called him, he specially instructed that he must pay special attention to this Yang Xiu, this person has a ghost talent and can distinguish it, if he has an opinion, he must consider it himself.

Thinking of this, Mao Luan said to Yang Xiu: "County Magistrate Yang said that it doesn't matter, if there is a bloody method, please take it out quickly, and we will discuss it together." ”

Yang Xiu saw that Mao Luan said politely, and he didn't have the slightest arrogance about his little county magistrate, so he immediately felt a lot more comfortable, cleared his throat and said: "Commander Mao, as far as I know, the Wei State is now divided into two factions, the first faction is represented by various new landlords and merchants, these people control a lot of finance, but they have no real power, and many of them have intertwined relationships that exist in all walks of life, even in the military. I remember that Hou Yin, the guard general of Wancheng, had many industries in his hands, and even had a lot of business dealings with Xinyang Industrial Company. Today, Xinyang Industrial Company was seized, and although Hou Yin did not dare to disobey the order, his own family industry also stagnated. It's better to order someone to contact Hou Yin. If Hou Yin defects, then all localities will definitely follow suit, and Commander Mao only needs to bomb and harass the forbidden camp at that time, and there will be changes over time. ”

"Hou Yin? What Dezu said about this Hou Yin, could it be that Nanyang Wancheng seized the Xinyang Industrial Company and the Wancheng guard? "Mao Luan naturally knows the distribution of Nanyang's military strength.

"Exactly! This person currently has 5,000 military horses in hand, which can be regarded as the strength of the local area of Nanyang County, and a quarter of the grain and grass are under his supervision. If Commander Mao can be trusted, Xiu is willing to go in person and persuade Hou Yin to surrender! ”

Yang Xiu actually asked for his life in person, but Mao Luan was embarrassed.

After all, this matter is a matter for your own army.

But since there is a shortcut, Mao Luan naturally can't ask for it.

So Mao Luan ordered Yang Xiu to be a lobbyist and go to Wancheng to lobby Hou Yin. At the same time, Mao Luan ordered the army to restrain and not attack for the time being, until he sent fighter jets to bomb the forbidden military camp every day.

The mountains of Yiyang County are few and flat, and they belong to the plain area, and there is no way to hide in the face of aircraft.

Yu ordered the forbidden army to build a deep ditch, and selected local concrete houses as the headquarters to prevent the bombing and harassment of the southern army.

However, Mao Luan was also ruthless, and he sent hundreds of bombers to bomb in turns every day, and adopted the method of taking turns to operate, and each bomber fought more than ten times a day. In this way, it is equivalent to the daily dispatch of thousands of bombers, and after three days, the forbidden army is disheartened and wounded everywhere.

In three days, there was not a single figure of the enemy in the forbidden army camp, and five or six thousand people had already been lost, and more than 3,000 wounded had become a burden, and they no longer had combat effectiveness.

On the third day, Yang Xiu went to Wancheng, and as Yang Xiu Hongnong Yang's identity, Hou Yin, the guard general of Wancheng, did not dare to slack off.

At this time, Yang Xiu had become a key criminal in the Great Wei court, and Hou Yin disregarded his identity and led his cronies to greet him personally.

"General Hou, don't come unharmed, Xiu took the liberty to visit today, please forgive me!"

Hou Yin said with a smile: "Where is Master Yang's book, I think when I Hou Yin went to Xu Du to report on his work, it was still a book made by Master Yang, they are all old acquaintances, why bother to talk about the two families." ”

It turned out that the two were old acquaintances, but Hou Yin was only a local petty official, and Yang Xiu was a famous family.

Hou Yin invited Yang Xiu to his private house, and the two talked alone, this conversation, even Hou Yin's cronies were not present, only knew that when Yang Xiu came out of Hou Yin's mansion, his face was full of smiles and complacent.

On the second day of the second month of February, Hou Yin, the defender of Wancheng, declared independence in Wancheng, Nanyang County, west of Yiyang County, saying that he responded to the republic.

Two days after the bombers bombed again, Zhao Hao, the defender of Fancheng in Nanyang County, declared independence and responded to the republic.

On another day, Chen Tang, the new field guard general of Nanyang County, announced that he would respond to the republic and break away from the Great Wei.

The Great Wei State, which Sima Yi, Cao Pi and others would never have imagined, has been dug deep into the foundation. The Great Wei State, under the economic penetration of the Chenhe State for many years, has completely changed its foundation, and the demands of capital have begun to explode at this moment. The old scholars no longer have the soil to survive on their roots.
