Chapter 109: Sima Wang

Sima Wang

"The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and my heart is uneven. Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, and rode around the dragon city. The snow is dark and the flag is painted, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. Rather be a centurion than a scholar. In the second year of Zhangwu, a poem suddenly arose in Yizhou, which was praised by the people of the whole state, and even children as young as seven or eight years old could babble a few words.

The literate old men preached to the young people under their knees, and there seemed to be a little regret between their eyebrows, but their faces revealed the same ambition as young people.

"Xiang, have you thought about it," an old man said meaningfully to the young man beside him. The young man knelt in front of the old man and trembled, as if he were begging for something.

"Figured it out! I plan to go to the Chengdu military camp tomorrow" The young man didn't dare to look at the old man, but lowered his head and said slowly.

"It's good! That's good! Your eldest brother has not returned from his military service, and you will leave now; My generation of the Pan family can be regarded as loyal to the Han Dynasty," the old man sighed expressionlessly, paced back and forth a few steps, and walked towards the house.

was called Pan Xiang, the person, only then did he dare to raise his head, watching the back that had gradually aged disappear from his eyes, and there was an indescribable heartache in his heart, but he could only swallow it into his stomach and let him slowly melt.

This simple conversation was not only staged in Pan Xiang's home, but also in every county in Yizhou at this time; The people who participated in the military parade in the county began to publicize what they had seen and heard when they returned home, fearing that no one would know the general, and the exaggerated elements were naturally no longer few; They haven't been preaching for a few days, but they were given a poem "From the Army" and won the headlines.

The sentence 'I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar' boiled all the Yizhou soldiers and civilians at this moment. Chengdu Road, which had just been temporarily rested, began to fill with pedestrians again at this moment. It's just that the people before are visitors, they are interpreters.

It was also in August of the third year of the Wei and Huang dynasties that the grain in the land of Yongzhou was ripe; Qianghu's cavalry, under the leadership of Mi Dang, began to rush towards Yongzhou, intending to plunder the grain and grass for this year's winter, and the people on the border rushed to the city under the organization of the government, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Yongzhou assassin Zhang Ji immediately decided to send Guo Huai, who guarded the western Changshi and conquered the Qiang guard, to lead the army north to block the enemy;

Guo Huaizi Boji, a native of Yangqu, Taiyuan, and his father Guo Yi was the Taishou of Yanmen County in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Because Guo Huai was born in the family of the gate valve, was raised as filial piety, the battle of the Later Han Dynasty was outstanding, after the death of Cao Cao, Cao Pi gave Guo Huai the Inner Marquis, in the turn to the west of the town of the long history, the Qiang Protector.

Because Wei had just fought with Wu, he had not yet gained any benefits after losing his troops; Mi Dang seized this opportunity, and 50,000 Qiang Hu soldiers began to approach Yongzhou, Mi Dang was cautious, and the whole army was divided into three echelons and marched in turn.

The front army of 2,000 was used as the vanguard force to detect the enemy's reality and reality; The second echelon of 8,000 served as the reception of the front army in case of accidents; The third echelon is the 40,000 Chinese army led by him personally, and the final direction of the march is determined according to the reports from the front.

In August, desert northerly winds have begun to blow in the north, and the summer temperature has been gradually eroded by this time; It's just that this year's autumn wind in the north of the desert brought not yellow sand, but Qianghu's 50,000 cavalry.

the county seat of Chaona, Anding County; After the Qianghu army ransacked the villages and township pavilions where they passed, they pointed their spearhead at the county town of Chaona, which was low on the city wall, and after converging the second echelon, Qianghu surrounded Chaona City and prepared to start a siege. Chaona County was already a remote county seat in Anding County, but due to the border, there were 500 defenders in the city guarding the city, and with the assistance of the people in the city, it temporarily constituted an insurmountable defense line for cavalry.

10,000 Qianghu cavalry will besiege the city and cut off the water supply in the city, and several bands of rangers will harass the tower every day, and everything they do seems to be waiting for the arrival of the army.

On the third day after the siege, the army of Midang finally gathered under the castle, but it was different from the lineup but different from the previous army; Because there are nearly 10,000 infantry troops among the 40,000 Qianghu cavalry led by Mi Dang, but these infantry troops are not Qianghu people, but Qianghu slaves, composed of foreign tribes and Han people on the border of Wei.

There were even old men, women and even some children among them, their helpless faces formed the greatest contrast with the invincible posture of the midang who was surrounded by the army at this time, and as soon as the horn sounded, they would run towards the city wall with a simple ladder, and their lives seemed to no longer belong to them at this moment, perhaps no longer belonged to them at the moment when they were caught by Qianghu.

The horn that could pierce people's hearts still sounded, and with improvised weapons and a few improvised ladders, the slaves began to charge towards the city, leaving only a smug look on his face that was still smiling, raising his eyebrows, a little arrogant, and fantasizing about the picture after the city was broken.

"Qu Chang, shall we release the arrows?" said a man on the castle tower to a young man in an officer's armor beside him.

Qu Chang looked at the misty king's flag, with indescribable indignation in his eyes, but he was helpless, just whispered, "Release the arrow!" ”

"Qu Chang, there are old people, women, children, and the people of our Wei State, let's withdraw" The man gritted his teeth, felt his eyes tighten, and felt an urge to cry.

"You can't bear to shoot them, who will protect the people of the city after the city is broken, we have weapons and horses to escape, can the people of the city escape, only slaughter or slaves will face them! Shoot the !! Qu Chang angrily pushed away the man, took out the bow and arrow behind his back, and shot at the people besieging the city with his bow and arrows, and then all the bows on the city tower were drawn full of Xuan, and the arrows flew towards the city、、、

It was originally an ordinary people, but there were still old and young among them, and they began to hesitate in the face of the death in front of them; At this moment, the city gate actually opened, and just now, the young man Qu Chang carried a halberd and led more than 200 cavalry to kill.

The people were already frightened by the arrows on the city tower, and in the face of the sudden arrival of the cavalry, they were completely confused at this moment, and began to retreat frantically to the back. Seeing that the city gate was opened, the cavalry led by Mi Dang did not hesitate and rushed towards the city gate, but was confused by the already panicked slaves and blocked the way.

When he ordered the slaves to be killed, more than 200 people who had just left the city poured into the city, as if all this was designed to kill each other.

"That Han general on the city tower! I haven't seen it before, but there is a ruthless person like you among the Han people. "The fan shouted angrily at the castle tower.

"Remember, my name is Sima Wang! The reinforcements of my Wei State are on the way, if you don't retreat, then you can only stay under the city forever," Qu Chang Sima Wang.

[Guo Huai and Sima Wang were both important generals in the middle of the Wei State, but their exploits were covered up; 】
