Chapter 532: Hua Peng's Troops Descend on the Imperial Capital [I]
The emaciated Guo Jia had some embarrassed horses and followed Cao Cao from the west gate of Luoyang to the south, and Cao Cao did not say a word since he entered the west gate of Luoyang and escaped.
It's just that the cheekbones on both sides obviously have some bulges, and the eyes are even more fierce and rushed to the south with Cao Ang and others, Guo Jianeng understands that this is Cao Cao's appearance because of gritting his teeth,
He can also understand Cao Cao's anger, unwillingness and loss, after all, anyone who loses the battle will be unwilling, but Hua Fei's army is coming,
Shouldn't we hurry up and order the 5,000 soldiers who were originally guarding Luoyang to seize the time to guard the gates to prevent Hua Fei from attacking Luoyang City? What is the reason why the lord went straight to the south?
Luoyang is no longer the Luoyang when Emperor Ling was in power, the prosperity of the past has long been wiped out with Dong Zhuo's fire, although the current Luoyang has improved after Cao Cao became the master,
However, because the time was too short and Cao Cao mainly repaired the city and palace, and after learning that Hua Fei had expeditioned to the northwest, he continued to mobilize troops, so there were still ruins and broken walls everywhere along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, Cao Cao restrained the advancing war horse in front of a huge building in the south, Guo Jia looked up at Cao Cao, who was full of determination, and vaguely guessed what Cao Cao wanted to do.
Cao Cao only groaned slightly, but then waved his right hand high in the scorching sun: "Someone!" ”
"Slow down!" Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was about to give an order, so he hurriedly stopped it in shock.
Cao Cao looked back at Guo Jia and said coldly: "Luoyang is already dilapidated and there are only 5,000 soldiers available, and the traitor Hua Fei is about to come to the city, Cao is afraid that the emperor will be frightened, so he wants to ask the emperor to come to Xuchang to avoid the Chinese thief, why do you stop it?" ”
"My lord is really frightened by Huafei's strength, and because he is worried that he will be pursued by Ganning's sailors along the Yellow River, he is ready to move the capital to Xuchang."
Guo Jia secretly paid in his heart, but hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted in a loud voice: "Lord, this is a long way to Xuchang, although Cao Ren may have received an urgent letter from us and raised troops to help, but that Xiliang horse has always had the reputation of being rampant in the world!" ”
"Shhh
Cao Cao gasped and secretly paid in his heart, what Feng Xiao said was not bad, according to the report of the guards of the West Gate, Hua Fei, who had already set up camp at the West Gate, came this time with more than 25,000 light cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry and heavy infantry troops.
The others may not be afraid, but the 10,000 light cavalry led by Ma Chao and Jiang Jiong, if they learn that I am escorting the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials out of the city and running south, they will inevitably lead the army to chase after them, and when the two armies meet in the field, how can they resist the iron cavalry charge of the Hua Fei Army?
The Xiliang cavalry has always been good at fighting, even if Cao Ren can lead the army in time, he will inevitably be exhausted by the long run, and it will be difficult to resist the power of the Huafei army's iron cavalry.
It's just that if you don't leave, with only this mere 5,000 soldiers, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stop the offensive of Hua Fei's army, and then won't even Cao Mou be in danger?
Thinking of this, Cao Caonai, who was in a dilemma, asked Guo Jia: "Since it is impossible to go, it is difficult to prevent it thoroughly, so what should I do according to the meaning of filial piety?" ”
"Don't worry, lord," Guo Jia said loudly to Cao Cao with another salute, "Jia has a plan that may solve today's worries." ”
Cao Cao, who was frowning, stretched out his right hand with bright eyes and asked Guo Jia urgently, "What is Fengxiao's plan?" ”
"That Hua Fei has just arrived in Luoyang, the imperial capital, and it shouldn't be clear how many men and horses our army is guarding Luoyang City," Guo Jia saw that he was anxious and didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly straightened up and said, "The so-called fiction is real, my lord can do his best to the people in the city and the officials of the tribe,
All dressed as soldiers to go to the city to help protect the precedent to be strong, and now although Luoyang is dilapidated, it is the imperial capital, once the battle will inevitably cause the world to be shocked,
If Hua Fei saw that there were many soldiers defending our army, and if he attacked the imperial capital and had to risk the condemnation of the world, he would inevitably hesitate in his heart.
At this time, our lord can use the honor of the Son of Heaven to agree to Hua Fei's request, and then give him the step down in the name that the Son of Heaven is worried that the battle will hurt innocent people, so that Hua Fei and our army can stop fighting and truce, so that this disaster may be solved. ”
Cao Cao squinted and groaned after listening to Guo Jia's strategy, but suddenly someone behind him shouted the word "report".
A personal guard rushed to Cao Cao and said: "My lord, Hua Fei's self-commanded heavy cavalry and heavy infantry troops live outside the west gate, but the tens of thousands of light cavalry under his command have all turned to the north gate, and their intentions are unknown for the time being. ”
"What?" Cao Cao opened his eyes fiercely and pointed at the guards and said in surprise, "You mean Hua Fei ordered his light cavalry to turn to the north gate?" ”
"When the interruption continues, there will be chaos later," Guo Jia said to Cao Cao in an urgent voice without waiting for the guards to answer, "Hua Fei's transfer of light cavalry to the north is precisely to cut off the return route of our army, and the matter is already extremely critical, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
"Good!" Cao Cao no longer hesitated to grit his teeth and ordered, "Just do what Feng Xiao said, come here!" ”
With Cao Cao's determination, Luoyang City under the scorching sun was boiling, and Yu Ban and Le Jin and others were ordered to lead the soldiers to do their best in Luoyang City, and all the men over the age of thirteen and under the age of sixty were all dressed in the city to help defend it.
Cao Cao led Guo Jia and Zhang Liao into the palace to meet the Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was accompanied by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and others.
At this time, Hua Fei, who was outside the west gate of Luoyang, was listening to Jia Mu's visit in the shade after arranging for the generals to lead the army, and reported the results of the war.
Jia Wan, who was holding the battle report, said in a loud voice: "According to our statistics, our army has captured 10,500 yuan and 5 baht of Cao's army in this battle, which is enough for 150,000 troops to eat 6.7 million catties of grain for a month.
Thirty-six thousand eight hundred and seventy-six newly captured civilians, 1,348 prisoners, and countless items such as baggage, weapons, flags, and helmets are still being counted.
Now that all the food, money, and baggage have been sent to Donghan according to the orders of our lord, and the captives have been organized into the army of atonement, and the arrangement of the people is to be made known to the Lord. ”
"Hmm!" Hua Fei turned to the slightly cool Buddha beads and said in a slow voice, "The people were forced by Cao Cao to come to Gucheng to build a defensive line, they are naturally innocent, but if you let them go back, they will inevitably go to help the abuse.
In this case, you can count their names, addresses, and family members, and then organize them into an atonement army for the time being, and then deal with them when the time comes. ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
In Jia Wan's high response, Hua Fei stretched out his hand and said: "There is also the idea of converting the things obtained this time into money and dividing them into three, and then taking one of them and distributing it equally to everyone who went out with the army this time.
Inform everyone and let them know how much money they can get after this battle to boost the morale of our army! ”
"Shhh When Jia Wan heard this, he made a slight calculation, and gasped and exclaimed, "Lord, just the 10,000 and 500 baht is more than 100 million yuan, if this is distributed according to what you said,
Each of our troops will receive about 6,000 dollars for this alone, and if this is to be reported, the brothers will be so happy that they will not be able to sleep. ”
Hua Feihun waved his hand indifferently and said: "Only by clearly dividing rewards and punishments can the soldiers serve their orders, since there are words first, you just have to distribute them according to the previous agreement." ”
"Whoa!" Seeing Hua Feiyun's breezy appearance, Jia Wan bowed down with admiration in his eyes and went away.
Hua Fei was about to ask Bao Zhu to take people to arrange the simple siege equipment, but he suddenly heard the guards urgent: "Lord, the former army He Man has sent an urgent report, and a large number of Cao soldiers have suddenly increased at the west gate of Luoyang City, as if Cao Cao's reinforcements have arrived." ”
"This is impossible," Hua Fei waved his hand and said loudly, "Meng Qi and Jiang Jiong led the light horse to cut off the road between Pingyin and Luoyang, at this time, although the north of Luoyang is close to Beimang Mountain, there is still a large section of flat terrain,
On such terrain, there are cavalry of our army guarding it, whether it is Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei or Li Dian, they will never dare to enter Luoyang from the north easily after seeing our light cavalry.
As for the reinforcements from Yan and Henan Prefectures, due to the long distance, it was absolutely impossible for them to rush to Luoyang City to help Cao Cao in such a short time. ”
At this time, another guard hurriedly reported: "The two generals, Ma Chao and Jiang Jiong, sent people to report urgently, and the Cao army at the north gate of Luoyang has increased its troops, with a large number of people and a strong garrison. (To be continued.) )
