Chapter 702: Soldiers Coming to the City
readx;
I have to say that Xia Houlan's choice of timing to attack was just right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It happened to be at a critical point where the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and low morale, and they had no intention of continuing to charge and preparing to withdraw their troops. The soldiers of Hexi County fight in the desert all the year round, and their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Hehuang people.
The weapons equipped on weekdays are mainly bows and arrows and special large horizontal knives.
Since Cao Peng invented the method of covering the soil and burning the blade, the efficiency of the Heyi workshop has been greatly improved. Cao Peng, although he is not in Hexi County, is extremely concerned about the government and military system implemented in Hexi County. Therefore, bows and arrows and broadswords have become the standard weapons of the soldiers of Hexi Prefecture. Xiahou Lan gave an order, and the three thousand soldiers immediately got on their horses, abandoned their bows and swords, shouted in unison, and launched a decisive charge towards the military formation of the Di people.
Three thousand iron horses, roaring and galloping.
The earth trembled, and it made the hearts of the people shudder.
"Stop him!"
Dou Mao's face turned pale and he hissed and roared.
However, he did not charge at the government soldiers, but roared at the white horse general who was in the chaos of the army, cleaving waves and constantly approaching...... This guy is so fierce! In the midst of thousands of troops, there is no one. A bright silver spear and a terrifying sword only killed the blood of the soldiers, and no one could stop them.
"Stop that brute for me!"
With Dou Mao's roar, he saw a person rushing out from behind him.
This person's name is Yang Qian, who was originally the king of Baiqing, and lived in the enemy's pool. Speaking of which, Yang Wan is in Qiuchi, living in the third generation, with a solid foundation. I didn't want Cao Peng to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, and united with Jiuquan at that time to defend the Su rules and crack down on the local Qiangqi who were not subject to naturalization, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the trade routes in the Western Regions.
He refused to obey his naturalization and refused to obey orders.
Qiu Chi is a powerful force in the Jiuquan area. Later, Yue Ji fled from Hugh Tuze and defected to 10 million, which greatly increased the strength of 10 million. In such a situation, how could you bow your head to the Han family.
Originally, I thought that Su Ze would consult with him like those officials before.
Don't be prepared to make a profit. Who knows, Su Ze, with the secret support of Cao Ji later, joined forces with the three counties of Zhangye County and Wuwei County to recruit an army of 50,000 and sweep away Qiuchi. Yue Ji was beheaded by Pan Zhang, the captain of Zhengqiang at the time, and fled into Hehuang with the remnants.
For the Cao family, it is extremely hostile.
Seeing the white horse general coming, he roared loudly and galloped away.
Ten million is also quite powerful, even a few points better than Xiqiang Yueji back then. It's a pity that since he defected to Dou Mao, he has never had the opportunity to show it. Now, it is a great opportunity, if you kill the white horse general, your status will inevitably improve in the future. With anger in his arms and ambition in his belly, he rushed towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was killing up, and with a flash of the sword, a sword would be cut off from the horse.
As soon as he withdrew his sword, he saw thousands of pounces.
He didn't have anything to say about the Di people, so he rushed forward, and the gentian gun trembled, and dozens of gun shadows appeared on the ridges. Wan Wan was also shocked when he was holding a big knife. Just dodging, Zhao Yun's gun was fast, and he arrived at him.
"Take a look!"
The big gun shook suddenly, and dozens of gun shadows suddenly disappeared.
The gentian gun, in Zhao Yun's hand, seemed to have turned into a giant python, and it swooped down on tens of millions.
Before he could react, the gentian gun had already penetrated his chest.
"You ......"
With a shout, he fell off his horse.
From beginning to end, he didn't even see clearly how Zhao Yun made a move.
"Father!"
Wan Wan has two sons, named Feilong and Feihu. Both of them are in their twenties, born with burly physique and infinite strength. Seeing that tens of millions of people were killed by Zhao Yun, the flying dragons and tigers shouted in unison. Without saying a word, the horse rushed out, one left and one right rushed towards Zhao Yun. These two are tall and menacing......
However, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, and screwed the gun and stabbed.
At the same time, Ma Yunlu happened to kill a general, and when he saw the flying dragon and flying tiger fighting Zhao Yun, he immediately put the big gun sideways in front of him, took out the bow and arrow, bent the bow and arrow, and aimed at the flying tiger, and brushed an arrow.
There was only Zhao Yun in the eyes of the flying tiger at this time, where did he notice Ma Yunlu?
When he found out that the cold arrow was coming, he couldn't dodge, so he heard a poof, and a Cao Gong arrow was in the middle of the flying tiger's face.
"Brothers......
The wyvern shouted.
But at this time, Zhao Yun had already arrived.
The gentian spear swallowed, and a touch of cold light swept by, and the flying dragon did not dare to be distracted, and raised his knife to greet him. Hearing the sound of the bell, the broadsword burst open the gentian gun, but it also shook the dragon's head in a daze. The second horse staggered, Zhao Yun pulled out the Shocking Sword with his backhand, and a cold light flew by, only to hear the scream of the flying dragon, and was split in half by the Shocking Sword at once.
It's too late, it's too soon!
Dou Mao didn't expect that Zhao Yun would be so fierce, and the three of them couldn't make him stay half a step when they blocked him.
By the time he came to his senses, Zhao Yun had already arrived in front of the Chinese army.
I saw him pick up his sword and slash, and after slashing twelve generals in a row, he cut off the big bowl with a sword.
With the collapse of the Great Rumble, Zhao Yun roared: "Dou Mao, don't die yet!" ”
The snow-white embroidered satin robe had turned blood-red. The gentian gun was dripping with thick blood.
Zhao Yun was majestic, like killing a god.
Although there were many people, no one dared to approach half a step......
How dare Dou Mao provoke Zhao Yun, without saying a word, he turned his horse and left.
At this time, Cao Peng led his troops and also killed in front of the Chinese army. The Fang Tian painting halberd, like the thunder god axe, was stained with blood. In the past, the tiger gods and soldiers finally showed their might. Cao Peng killed all the way, and he didn't know how many people died under the halberd, anyway, he only killed the soldiers, crying wolves all the way, and hugging his head and running away.
"Dou Mao, where to go!"
Cao Peng saw that Dou Mao was going to run, how could he let him escape?
The liger roared and soared into the air, passing over the head of one of the soldiers.
Cao Peng's tiger eyes were wide, the halberd danced with the painting rod, and the halberd cloud rolled. The two generals rushed up to stop them, but they were instantly killed by Cao Peng.
"Agui, where are the soldiers and horses?"
This Agui can be regarded as a king of Di, and he is also Dou Mao's henchman.
He was responsible for pressing the formation and protecting Dou Mao's back. Who knows, until now, there is no trace of Agui's soldiers and horses.
"The king, the king of Agui is reversed?"
"What?"
"He, he, he...... I was just evacuating from the battlefield. ”
Although Dou Mao is cruel, he is not a fool.
If you evacuate the battlefield, you must be colluding with the Han barbarians and defecting to the battle!
Ah Gui is the opposite, but what about the others?
"Li Teng, where is Li Teng?"
"King Li Teng has also withdrawn from Zhaling Lake!"
"Ahhh......h
Dou Mao couldn't help but be angry, and roared angrily: "When I go back, I will definitely cut the two of them with a thousand knives." ”
Get back?
Now if you want to go back, it's not that simple!
The army of the Di people has been completely defeated, more than 30,000 people, evacuated by the evacuee, and fled by the rout......
On the shore of Zhaling Lake, 5,000 Cao troops chased after the Di people who were nearly ten times their size, and slashed wildly. Dou Mao knew that the general trend had gone.
How dare he continue to stay here, with the remnants of the defeated army, he fled in the direction of the head of the Cizhi River.
Cao Peng and Zhao Yun converged in the chaotic army.
The two of them are also blood-stained robes, but their fighting spirit has not diminished at all.
"Zilong, can you still fight?"
Zhao Yun replied: "Childe is laughing, how can such a rabble consume my family's strength?" ”
"In that case, let's continue to hunt down......
Zilong, let's compete to see who kills more generals. If Zilong wins, he will be the king of my flying camel army. ”
Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, "Since the son has spoken, Zhao Yunyan dares to disobey?" ”
The two of them said that, turned around and fought again into the chaos.
This time, whether it was Sun Shao Wenwu or Ma Yunlu, they were all quietly thirty steps behind, and they were no longer following the two.
Cao Peng and Zhao Yun were like two fierce tigers rushing into the flock.
A shot and a halberd set off a rain of blood......
Dou Mao was already frightened now, and he didn't dare to look back.
Seeing that he was about to leave the battlefield, he suddenly heard the camel bells in front of him. When he looked up, he saw a big man with a white camel galloping towards him. The big man was wearing heavy armor, and in his palm was a heavy, black and thick iron thistle bone with the thickness of a baby's fist, and he was afraid that the weight would be on the top of a hundred catties.
"Where is the chieftain going? Have you asked your Uncle Shamoke? ”
The sound was like a huge thunder, which shook people's eardrums numb.
Before the words fell, the white camel had already arrived. Shamoke was originally ordered to attack from the right side, but he didn't want to encounter a group of Dou Mao's diehards. A group of Di people who were not afraid of death dragged Shamoke's footsteps, and although Shamoke was finally killed, they missed the best opportunity to attack the Chinese army.
By the time Shamoke came out of the chaos, Dou Mao's army had already been defeated.
Shamoko, who was holding back his anger, didn't know how to vent. Then I saw a short, stout man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, fleeing surrounded by a group of people. Shamoke didn't recognize Dou Mao, but looking at the clothes, at least he was also a chieftain. Shamoke, who couldn't get a big bargain, how could he let Dou Mao go.
He came to Dou Mao, and without saying a word, the iron thistle bone fell down with the sound of the wind.
Dou Mao hurriedly swung the knife accordingly.
But when he heard a click, the hundred-for-steel knife was smashed by Shamoke's stick. The iron thistle bone has the power of ten thousand jun, like the top of Mount Tai, and its momentum has not diminished at all. Dou Mao wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Ah screamed, and was beaten by Shamoko with a stick, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and he was not human.
"Don't fight!"
Shamoke killed Dou Mao, and the anger in his chest decreased slightly.
But at this time, those Dou Mao's relatives were dumbfounded......
"The king is dead...... The king was killed by the barbarians! ”
Someone let out an exclamation, and Shamoko was stunned, looking at the blurred flesh on the ground.
"This dwarf, is it Dou Mao?"
"Exactly!"
Di Ren replied in fear.
In an instant, Shamoko's depressed mood was completely alleviated.
In its place, there was a bright sunshine.
"Ha, Dou Mao was killed by me...... Childe, Shasha this time can be regarded as the first merit...... I'm going to be promoted! ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the middle of July of the 14th year of Jian'an, with the end of the war in northern Xinjiang, the battle of Hehuang was also pacified.
Dou Mao died in battle, causing chaos among the Di people.
Many kings of Di gathered at the head of the Cizhi River to discuss countermeasures with the respected Li Teng.
Li Teng is the old man who Ma Tan entrusted the book to that day. Speaking of which, Li Teng's prestige among the Di people is not low, and he is old, so he should have been a candidate for the king of Di. However, due to Li Teng's admiration for the culture of the Central Plains and his advocacy of peaceful coexistence with the Han people, many people were disgusted.
When the Han dynasty was sluggish, Dong Zhuofang died, and there were many princes.
Many Di people believed that they should take this opportunity to fight the Han barbarians and plunder the population, especially Dou Mao. In such a situation, Li Teng decided to back down, and Dou Mao took over the king.
However, with the rise of Cao Wei, the northwest was governed.
Many pro-Han people gradually gathered into a force around Li Teng.
In the battle of Zhaling Lake, Cao's army won more with less and killed Dou Mao, which also greatly weakened the strength of those hardliners. Li Teng took advantage of the situation and summoned the kings of various tribes at the head of the Cizhi River to discuss countermeasures.
"I will never agree, surrender to the barbarians!"
In the midst of the tent, a burly king roared angrily.
"Hehuang is the land given to us by Hu Tian, I have no objection to negotiating peace with the Han barbarians, but I will never surrender on my knees."
Li Teng twisted his white beard and looked at the king of Di, but he didn't speak.
"Govern pluralism, now it's not the Han barbarians who negotiate peace with us, but we lose...... Then the king of Cao Yama made a request for us to surrender with Cao Xiu. If he doesn't surrender, he doesn't mind continuing to kill.
There is a saying in the Han barbarian: a big husband can bend and stretch.
Our surrender today is not eternal surrender...... If we do not surrender, we will face the doom of destruction, but it is better to bow our heads for the time being, accumulate strength, and make a comeback in the future.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.
I don't believe that Han Man can stay strong......"
The person who spoke, named Agui, was originally also a hardliner.
But for some reason, during the Battle of Zhaling Lake, he sat in the rear army, but suddenly withdrew from the battlefield.
Therefore, its troops are well preserved, and there are still nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in hand.
Li Teng glanced at Agui, but still didn't speak.
"Agui, if you hadn't retreated, why would there have been a defeat at Zhaling Lake?"
Zhi Duo was furious, and pointed at Agui and scolded.
Ah Gui's face suddenly turned red.
The gaze also became gloomy, and he said coldly: "If I had also folded in Zhaling Lake at that time, I was afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Han barbarians would have washed the head of the Cizhi River in blood. I'm not holding back, I'm holding my energy. ”
"You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have wasted the king's trust in you."
"Governance diversity, we are discussing the future now, if you are not convinced, when the Han Man is gone, we might as well discuss it again."
"I will never surrender, if you want to surrender, just surrender, I will swear to protect it, the glory that Hu Tian has given us."
After Zhi Duo finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Ah Gui's face turned pale, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"King Gui, if you govern like this, I am afraid that it will further anger King Cao Yan and bring us even greater disasters.
He was a warrior, but unfortunately he didn't know the sky, and he wasted King Gui's hard work. ”
"King Teng, what do you have to say?"
"I'm old, what do I talk about?
The future of this head of the river belongs to you, the king of Gui and the rule of the plurality. It's just that he has this attitude now......
By the way, the Han army is only a hundred miles away from the head of the Cizhi River.
I want to ask King Gui for your hard work, go to see that Cao Duwei, and quell the war as soon as possible, how about it? ”
Whoever contacts Cao Jun first will be able to gain the first opportunity.
If he gets the support of Cao Jun, he can become the new king of Di.
In Agui's heart, he also coveted the position of the king of Di. However, due to Li Teng's prestige, it is difficult for him to stand up and fight. But Li Teng has now made it clear that he will not hold the position of king of Di, doesn't he say......
Ah Gui, my heart is full of joy.
"Then I'll go and prepare it right away."
"King Gui, you and Cao Duwei discussed, I don't think there are too many difficulties.
It's just that the governance is plural...... Always a hidden danger. If he is not convinced, there will be no peace at the head of the river. In my opinion, you'd better persuade him, after all, the prestige of governing pluralism is not bad. ”
In Gui's eyes, there was a flash of murder.
"I'm going to persuade him to change his mind."
Agui got up to say goodbye, and the kings of the tribes also left.
"Daddy, why do you want to give in again?"
Li Teng's son's name is Li Ju, and he is over forty years old.
When Ah Gui and the others left, he immediately stepped forward and complained: "In the past, Dou Mao was fierce and powerful, and Daddy gave way to King Di, and his son can understand. But now, Dou Mao is dead...... Among the kings of the head of the Cizhi River, Daddy is the strongest and is the most suitable candidate for the king of Di. But why let Na Gui take over? ”
When Li Teng heard this, he immediately smiled.
"Don't worry, Agui can't be the king of Di."
"If he has the support of Cao Duwei, how can he not be the king of Di?"
Li Teng smiled coldly, "Cao Duwei's support doesn't matter, what matters is who King Cao Yan supports."
Don't look at Cao Duwei who will preside over the affairs of Hehuang in the future, and he is the brother of King Cao Yan.
But do you remember, the last time Dou Mao sent someone to contact Cao Duwei, how did Cao Duwei reply?
Although he is the elder brother of King Cao Yan, he has no choice but to act against King Cao Yan.
The person who can really call the shots in Hehuang is King Cao Yan. To put it bluntly, the battle of Hehuang has been fought until now, and King Cao Yan has been reluctant to contact us for a long time, just to give Cao Duwei a face. Therefore, the suggestion of King Cao Yan is the most critical. If he can't get the nod of King Cao Yan, can he become the king of Di?
Ha, joke!
And in my opinion, he went to contact Cao Duwei this time, and he also went and never returned.
Take advantage of this opportunity, you have to do everything you can to get in touch with King Cao Yan and get his support...... Daddy is old, and he has no interest in this king of Di. But you, if you get the nod of King Cao Yan, even if you can't be the king of Di, you can be like Ke Wu who burned Lao Qiang, soaring and achieving unlimited achievements. ”
Li Ju nodded thoughtfully......

Nanzheng, named after the Zheng people running south.
In 770 B.C., the Zheng people living in the Huayin region fled to Hanzhong to escape the persecution of the dogs, and settled there. Because of the friendship with the Qin people, he was named Nanzheng. In the eleventh year of Qin Wugong, that is, in 687 BC, he was placed in the county.
Nanzheng is the seat of Hanzhong County, and it has been extremely stable since Zhang Lu established a theocratic regime here.
The terrain of Hanzhong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, Zhang Lu only needs to keep an eye on Liu Zhang in Xichuan, which can develop steadily.
Moreover, Hanzhong is the only way from Xichuan to Qinchuan for 800 miles, so trade is also quite prosperous.
In the past few years, with Cao Wei's economic exchanges with Xichuan, Hanzhong has also benefited greatly.
However, since last year, the situation in the northwest has suddenly become tense, and the economy of Xichuan has been eroded and prices have soared, which has greatly affected the development of Hanzhong. Zhang Lu had no choice but to stick to Hanzhong and protect his Wudou Mijiao regime.
It's getting late!
The drizzle fell, adding a bit of melancholy to Nan Zhengping.
Xichuan soldiers and horses have been mobilized, but they have never launched an attack on Hanzhong.
saw the Sichuan army coming in and out of Baishui Pass, which gradually made Zhang Lu relax his vigilance. However, he did not let Yan Pu withdraw his troops, and still stationed him in Chuyang. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Wei to strengthen the surveillance of Wudu and keep an eye on the movements of Cao's army.
Since the Cao army occupied Wudu, it continuously dispatched troops and horses from Guanzhong and stationed in Wudu County.
First, Zhang He's department was stationed in Hechi, and then Xu Yi's department went out of the pass to capture the old road...... Immediately afterwards, Hao Zhao, the southern governor, ordered the new Rongqiu Governor Dou Hu, that is, the son of Dou Lan, the commander of Jingzhao County, to sneak attack Fu County and completely control Wudu in his hands. Zhang Wei relied on the geographical location of Yangping Pass and could not hold out. However, in the face of Cao's frequent movements, Zhang Wei was also quite nervous and kept asking Zhang Lu for help.
The problem is that there are only so many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Hanzhong.
Yan Pu took 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Chuyang, and Zhang Wei also took 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Now Nanzheng is empty, and there are even less than 8,000 defenders. Even if Zhang Lu wanted reinforcements, he had no troops to send.
I had to continue to comfort Zhang Wei that the terrain of Yangping Pass was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
You don't have to rush to recover Wudu, you just need to defend Yangping Pass...... At the same time, Zhang Luyou sent people to Huangzhong to ask for reinforcements. It's a pity that with the start of the Hehuang War, the Qiang people in Huangzhong were silent.
Teng Zijing's White Horse Qiang was beaten by Hao Zhao in Zhu Yushan and lost his armor, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
And Shen Wolf Qiang sent troops to the west to support Guo Qiang, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in his hands.
Guo was under the joint attack of Su Ze and Shaodang Lao Qiang, although he had the help of Wolf Qiang, he was also in danger.
The Wolf Qiang tribe is handsome, and now he regrets it very much!
Zhu Yushan has already suffered a loss and knows how powerful Cao Jun is. Ma Chao is now trapped in Yangcheng, seeing that sooner or later he will die, Teng Zijing is very smart, concentrating his forces, defending his territory, and refusing to come out again. But he was not taught a lesson, but wanted to support Guo Zuo. That Guo Zhi's daughter is Teng Zijing's wife. Teng Zijing didn't even care about his father-in-law, but he wanted to come out. It turned out to be ......
Once Guo is defeated, Shen Langqiang will inevitably suffer the harshest revenge of Cao's army.
What Cao Peng did in Hehuang has already spread in Huangzhong.
There is no hope for reinforcements in Huangzhong, so they can only rely on themselves to hold on. Zhang Lu was also quite hesitant at this time, not knowing what to do.
Continue to stick to Hanzhong?
Or ......
This thought comes out of your life, and it can never be stopped.
In the past few days, Zhang Lu has been thinking about such a thing......
The mood was very irritable, Zhang Lu had no intention of continuing to recite Huang Ting, so he walked out of the quiet room and wanted to go back to the room to rest.
Suddenly, all I could hear was a commotion outside.
The voice came from outside the house, Zhang Lu frowned, and hurriedly walked to the front yard.
"What happened? Why is there a riot in the city? ”
"Lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good......"
"What's wrong?"
"Master Yang, Master Yang is reversed...... He opened the city gate, and the Cao army entered the city, and was coming to the palace. ”
"Nonsense!"
When Zhang Lu heard this, he was furious.
Master Yang, named Yang Song, is his most trusted advisor.
"How could Cao Jun be here? You must have read ...... wrong."
"No, lord, I'm not mistaken, it's really Lord Yang who is wrong. Just now, he asked people to open the city gates, and Cao Jun swarmed into the city. In the hurry, it was not clear how many Cao troops there were, and the city gate had been controlled anyway. ”
"Impossible!"
Zhang Lu was furious, "Cao Jun, how could he come to Hanzhong silently?" Could it be that they have the help of the gods, and they can't fall from the sky? ”
Yes, how could Cao Jun appear in Nanzheng?
Of course, Zhang Lu refused to believe it, pulled out his sword, and slashed the man with a sword.
"Mess up the hearts of our army, shake morale, and kill without mercy!"
At this moment, Zhang Song's old housekeeper stumbled to him, "Lord, it's not good...... Yang Song, with a group of Cao troops, had already arrived outside the door and was about to attack. ”
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Zhang Lu's head had become a pot of porridge at this time...... (To be continued)
