Chapter 90: Tearing the Earth and Sealing the King
readx;
Winter goes to spring, Guo Jia spent a New Year in Xuzhou that can be said to be accompanied by no family, after the beginning of spring, in the military camp to worship heaven and earth, point soldiers and generals, Guo Ye was once again entrusted by Guo Jia with a heavy responsibility, leading the three armies 180,000 from Yanzhou to Jizhou north!
Leaving only Xiao Ren to lead 10,000 guards to guard, Guo Jia watched the army go west, turned his eyes, and instructed Xiao Ren: "Notify Chengdu, and the follow-up arrangements will start to act." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The Taiping army went west from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, and then went north to Jizhou, so reluctant to seek the near and far away did not take Qingzhou, when the news reached Yecheng, Cao Pi was almost shocked to fall from the throne!
Cao Wei Yanjing was shaken, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.
It seems that Guo Jia is aiming to smash Huanglong.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and other old ministers were exhausted, and now they feel powerless.
Previously, they suggested that Cao Pi withdraw Cao Xiu from Huguan, and concentrate on all the troops under his rule of nearly 200,000, and it is not impossible to fight Guo Jia to the death.
But Cao Pi disagreed, he was afraid that if he took the initiative to withdraw, he would fall into an embattled situation.
When Jizhou faces a three-sided attack, he Cao Pi is not confident that he can win a head-on battle with Guo Jia.
Yuan Shao fought Guo Jia and was defeated, although Cao Ying and Guo Jia did not have a life-and-death battle, Cao Ying did die at the hands of Guo Jia.
Liu Bei, dead. Sun Quan, dead.
As for more worthless warlords buried in Guo Jia's hands, there is no need to mention them.
Cao Pi was already in turmoil, and he needed to make up his mind subjectively, if he wavered, could he still hope to rule the united city?
Hearing that Guo Ye led 180,000 troops to cross the river and step into Jizhou, Cao Pi ordered Cao Xiu to withdraw to Yecheng quickly, so that Yecheng had 170,000 soldiers and horses, and the two families were equal.
However, when Guo Ye led his troops across the Yellow River, 60,000 iron cavalry under the leadership of Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun went straight to the road leading to Yecheng in Bingzhou.
As soon as Cao Xiu, who was stationed at Huguan in Bingzhou, received Cao Pi's military order, he marched eastward towards Yecheng.
The spring is bright, the breeze is gentle, the anxious Cao Xiu constantly ordered the soldiers and horses to speed up the march, and when he was walking in the area of Linxian, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the suburbs of the wilderness, and the dust swept up in the southeast direction, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen galloped unscrupulously like wild beasts out of the cage.
Cao Xiu's face was bloodless, and he turned around and roared: "The whole army obeys the order and sets up to meet the enemy." ”
In a hurry, the frightened Cao soldiers lined up countless small phalanxes, helping each other, preparing to flank the enemy.
Cao Xiu clenched the spear in his hand, drenched in cold sweat, and suddenly, his eyes widened, and he roared again.
"Shield!"
Seeing the cavalry sweeping the world from far and near, Cao Xiu, who was originally preparing for a battle to the death, looked at the spear that covered the sky in disbelief.
The Iron Cavalry Army, the person who takes the lead is Jin Ma Chao, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command has a good ability to throw javelins with one hand.
Spears flew from the sky, and the black pressure was like a dark cloud.
The Cao soldiers, who were caught off guard, fell in a large number of soldiers in an instant.
The archers in the front row fought back, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was now equipped with heavy armor, and it was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to cause them to hurt their muscles and bones, only a strong crossbow could break it!
Cao Xiu gritted his teeth, the strong crossbow troops of the Cao army were all in Yecheng, and the elite troops were naturally protected around Cao Pi, along with the cavalry elite tiger and leopard cavalry.
Ma Chaosuo led 40,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to break through the enemy army from the middle road, while the 20,000 Silver Feather Flying Cavalry with light armor and silver spears were under the leadership of Gan Ning and Zhao Yun respectively from the two wings.
Cao Xiu's subordinates were all foot soldiers, and there was no way to escape, so he already had the consciousness of dying in battle, but he also had to consume the enemy army to the maximum.
But in the face of the majestic Jin Ma Chao, Cao Xiu obviously overestimated himself, and rushed to kill bravely, Cao Xiu picked a few Taiping cavalry, faced Ma Chao, and shouted: "Horses are killed!" ”
Ma Chao grinned and showed a hideous smile, on the battlefield, few people who can be rampant in front of him are not necessarily alive.
The sonorous tiger head Zhan golden gun was unstoppable, and it brought great pressure to Cao Xiu as soon as it came up, and Cao Xiu's wild words were released in less than a moment, and he was killed under Ma Chao's fierce offensive.
Ma Chao provoked Cao Xiu's body with a shot, penetrated the opponent's armor and flesh, and threw it hard, and actually threw Cao Xiu from the horse to the ground, stabbed and picked it with a spear, and when it was raised again, Ma Chao slashed at the blue sky on the tiger head Zhan golden gun, which was Cao Xiu's head.
"Who else is going to die?"
The enemy troops all around him retreated, his face was full of terror, and Ma Chao in front of him was murderous as if he was born a fierce god!
was raided, and the commander was killed, and 50,000 Cao soldiers were killed and wounded, and they soon surrendered or escaped.
The corpses were all over the ground, the blood was flowing like a river, the cavalry stopped their pace, or cleaned the battlefield, or watched the surrender of the troops, and the defeated generals who led the army to pursue and flee soon returned.
Ma Chao rode his horse and slowly moved eastward, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun followed, and behind him, the flames soared into the sky, and it was the Taiping army that burned the bodies of the dead to prevent the plague from breeding.
"After Cao Xiu's 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, Cao Pi only had 120,000 soldiers left in Yecheng, how many hours do he still have to live?"
Ma Chao's slightly gloomy face sneered, he and the Cao family are endless, and their father's enmity is not shared, at this moment, he has been waiting for a long time, and it has finally arrived!
Gan Ning was broad-minded and said with a smile: "The lord will rule the world, and it is not far away." ”
Zhao Yun nodded beside him and said, "The troubled times are over, and peace is coming." ”
Three heroic generals headed east with almost intact cavalry.
After the news of Cao Xiu's army leaving Huguan reached Luoyang, Zhang Liao and Yan Yan led an army of 100,000 troops into the state, leaving Yan Yan with 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the state, and Zhang Liao led the remaining 80,000 to the east.
Guo Ye, who led an army of 180,000 to the expedition, sent 60,000 cavalry, and after the 120,000 army entered Anyang, which was not far from the south of Yecheng, he asked Zhang Ren to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the east and sweep Qingzhou.
In an instant, the annexed states and Qingzhou all fell into the hands of the Taiping army.
At the same time, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun came to Anyang with soldiers and horses to join Guo Ye, south of Yecheng, facing the Taiping army of 240,000!
And Yecheng only has 120,000 soldiers and horses!
In Anyang, Guo Ye sat in the tent of the military camp, listening to the scout's report from Yecheng.
Beside Guo Ye, there were two strategists who accompanied the army, one was Zhuge Liang and the other was Fa Zheng.
Among the handsome tents, the strong generals such as Yun, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun and so on are all listed.
"Cao Pi, is this going to be defended?"
After listening to the information, Guo Ye shook his head noncommittally.
Outside Yecheng, there is the river dug by Cao Ying when he broke through Yecheng, and now Cao Pi has made arrangements in order to block foreign enemies, trapping horse pits, rejecting horse walls, and high tower sentry towers, which are full of tricks to completely isolate Yecheng.
At the end of the road, he always seems to like to dig his own grave.
Guo Ye may not know it yet, but Fa Zheng smiled a little mockingly: "This Cao Wei's son of heaven reminds me of a few people. Dong Zhuo of Xiuyiwu. ”
Zhuge Liang, who was shaking a feather fan on the other side, said: "Gongsun Zan of Zhuyi Jing." ”
After the two finished speaking, the generals in the tent also understood.
The war has not started, the signs of defeat have been revealed, does Cao Piyan have the reason to be undefeated?
Xu Chu was impatient, and immediately said loudly: "Shizi, since this Cao Pi is cowering in the city, how can we attack?" ”
Guo Ye was still pondering and didn't reply, but Fa Zheng smiled incomprehensibly, looked around at the generals in the tent, and asked, "Attack?" Why attack? ”
Zhuge Liang even laughed and said, "This time, I really want to thank Cao Pi." Didn't he want to make peace with his lord? Then let him tear the earth and become the king as he wishes! ”
Previously, Cao Pi had written a letter to Guo Jia, proposing to give up the throne to Guo Jia, and he would be a king of Wei, and the two families would be at peace from then on.
There was a sudden twitch in the tent, and the generals were not very convinced by this Zhuge Liang who surrendered from Liu Bei's tent, so Dian Wei said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you want to exterminate Cao Pi, why do you have to talk to him about conditions?" He wants to be the king, how can the lord agree? He had also replied to him earlier. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, at the same time, Guo Ye raised his hand with a solemn expression, signaled the generals to be calm and not impatient, turned his head, Guo Ye looked at Zhuge Liang, and at the same time, Fa Zheng also smiled, and had a new understanding of Zhuge Liang.
"What does the military advisor mean?"
Guo Ye's solemn expression suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and the smile became more and more intense.
Zhuge Liang smiled and gave Guo Ye a positive answer.
With a long breath, Guo Ye stood up and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order, start tomorrow, and try their best to isolate Yecheng, even if it is to build another city wall, dig another river, and move four mountains, you will block Yecheng for me!" ”
Everyone in the tent stood up and clenched their fists to receive the order, but they were all surprised by this order, and it sounded like it was going to kill Yecheng.
But is it necessary to make such a big move?
After Guo Ye gave the order, he asked the soldiers to go down to act, and he sat alone on the handsome seat, looking at Yecheng on the map, and slowly showed a cruel smile.
Yecheng, Yanjing of Wei State!
Cao Wei's nine-product Zhongzheng system, how many scholars have been attracted here?
Almost all the world's scholars!
For those who had expectations for Cao Wei, where was the safest? Naturally, there is a place for Cao Wei's army!
If he had a choice, Guo Ye would choose to bury Yecheng all!
It's a one-and-done job!
So, no fight!
An ordinary siege will not work either, because the enemy army will surrender!
After Zhuge Liang said that Cao Pi "split the soil and sealed the king", Guo Ye understood it.
Yecheng is Cao Pi's territory, and all the most beautiful and powerful scholars in Yecheng will be buried by Cao Pi.
And what Guo Ye wants to do is to besiege Yecheng and not let anyone go!
Perhaps, this is cruel, and there are innocent people in it.
However, compared with the world, what is the sacrifice of eliminating hidden dangers?
Shandong huge gate valve group, along with Yecheng ashes!
