The well is closed, and the night is coming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Bei stood on the Guancheng, looking at the dense Wei army camps outside the pass, with a faint irony in his expression.

On the same day, after Wei Yan beheaded Cao Zhang, Liu Bei led a large army into Lecheng and accepted the surrender of Guo Huai and others. Cao Zhang was dead, and the Wei army from Lecheng to Jingcheng gave up resistance and surrendered to the Han army after receiving Guo Huai's warrant.

Therefore, on the same day, Liu Bei personally led an army of 70,000 troops from Lecheng to the east, arrived at Jingcheng before the sun went down, and smoothly and low-key took over the most important pass from the east of Bingzhou to Hebei.

At this moment, the banner of Wei on the city has not changed, and the Wei army outside the city does not know that their enemies have already been secretly replaced.

Looking at the smoke rising from the Wei camp from afar, Fang Shao sneered: "Your Majesty, it seems that Cao Pi's kid is completely unaware that his good brother has been beheaded, and tonight will be another bloody night." ”

It took half a day of scheming, in order to take the Jingcheng Pass bloodlessly, for tonight's battle.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth rose slightly, and a bloody murderous aura surged up again on his old face.

………… In the dead of night, the Wei camp outside the gate was already silent, but the city was full of boiling blood.

Seventy thousand soldiers, the full meal has been completed, everyone is ready to go, and everyone's face is beating with the urge to try.

After the third watch, Liu Bei gave the order for a general attack.

Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, and Wang Ping each led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs and rushed to the Cao army camp in five ways. Liu Bei led 20,000 foot cavalry, led Fang Shao, Fa Zheng, Pang De, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Guan Xing and other young generals to come out as a general reserve to meet the five routes of soldiers and horses.

Because Cao Zhang had to divide his troops to deal with the Han army in the west, so there were no more than 10,000 troops left behind in Jingcheng Pass, so Cao Pi unscrupulously ordered more than 70,000 troops to force the city to go down to the village, which looked aggressive, but at this time it helped the Han army greatly shorten the distance of the raid.

At the same time, Cao Pi never dreamed that his seemingly brave younger brother would die at the hands of Liu Bei so quickly, and he couldn't imagine that after Guo Huai and other generals betrayed him, they also betrayed his younger brother, and unknowingly drove more than 70,000 troops into Jingcheng Pass.

Therefore, the vigilance of the Wei army should be relaxed, and in Cao Pi's view, the remnants of the 10,000 troops who closed up did not need to be vigilant at all.

Therefore, when the elite cavalry of the Han army highlighted the Wei army, the Wei soldiers who were still asleep did not have the slightest defense.

As Fang Shao said, it was a bloody night.

The Five Route Han Army was like a tiger entering the flock, and it was only an instant that the Wei army's will to resist was crushed, and those Wei soldiers who woke up ignored the orders of the generals and fled in panic, and those soldiers who were still asleep were either beheaded by the Han army in their dreams or burned to death in the burning tent.

The Wei camp, which stretched for ten miles, turned into a sea of fire in less than half an hour, and the tragic sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls reached the sky with the raging fire.

The soldiers of the Han army, one by one, were full of energy, and under the encouragement of successive victories, their morale had reached their peak, and they broke into the enemy camp like this, and in the face of those helpless Wei soldiers, everyone's eyes were bright, and the polished blade ruthlessly slashed at the enemy's head. No, it's not a head, it's a paving stone on the road to promotion and fortune.

Cao Pi was unlucky, after experiencing the defeat of Pingyang, his 70,000 soldiers and horses were finally put together, but in this night, they were inexplicably destroyed.

Cao Pi was also lucky, when tens of thousands of Wei troops were still ravaged by the Han army in the sea of fire, Cao Pi abandoned his soldiers under the escort of several close ministers and more than 300 personal horsemen, and fled to the south.

The fire burned until noon the next day, the Han army's five-way raid was a complete victory, and the battlefield was counted after the battle, in this battle, the Wei army was killed 30,000, 20,000 dropped, and the rest of the fortunate people scattered and fled, and the captured ordnance was piled up.

More importantly, the Wei generals who garrisoned the grain camp surrendered without a fight, so that the Han army obtained precious grain and grass of more than hundreds of thousands of stones.

Grain and grass has always been the most important factor plaguing the Han army, although the implementation of the government and military system, the Han army's grain and grass pressure has been reduced, but after all, the Han land is a poor and narrow land, grain production is limited, and the long-term supply of more than 200,000 people of the huge army is naturally under pressure.

Since the siege of Jinyang, the Han army's grain and grass supply began to enter a gradually strained stage from abundance, Liu Bei was still hesitating, whether to break through the Cao Pi army in Jingcheng, temporarily stop the offensive, and then attack after the summer grain harvest next year, but the captured hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass became an unexpected joy, so that Liu Bei's confidence was enough again.

Because of this, after the end of the Battle of Jingcheng, Liu Bei ordered Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the north to seize the land of Youzhou, and ordered Ma Chao and Pang Tong to lead 50,000 troops to the east to collect Anping, Hejian, Bohai, Leling and other Hebei counties. Liu Bei commanded an army of 100,000 by himself, and went south along the two counties of Julu and Guangping, and directly took Yecheng, the capital of Wei.

………… Yedu, the Imperial Palace.

In the dim cold hall, the old body was lying quietly, and a palace maid beside him was patiently washing his face.

The palace maid's technique is skillful and steady, she has been cleaning the body of this sleeping body for nearly two years, and her body is all too familiar.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the palace maid was alarmed, so she put down the work in her hand and walked out of the hall to see what was going on.

The palace maids and eunuchs were running around in a panic, as if something big had happened.

"What's going on, why are you all in such a hurry?" The palace maid grabbed a eunuch casually and asked with a worried face.

"What's the matter? The sky is falling! King Rencheng killed the Han army, His Majesty fought a big defeat in Jingcheng, millions of Han troops are coming to Yedu, His Majesty is still on the way back to the capital and issued a holy decree to move the capital, I said Xiaohuan, you should also quickly clean up. ”

The palace maid Xiaohuan was shocked to the eunuch, and asked anxiously: "What about the emperor, didn't Your Majesty order to send the emperor away?" ”

"Where do I know, it's all at this time, how can Your Majesty still control the Emperor, anyway, he will die-"

The eunuch didn't dare to continue to finish the disrespectful words, and he relied on Xiaohuan to say more, covering his mouth and hurriedly fleeing.

Xiaohuan returned to the hall with a worried face, she picked up Shang Wen's silk handkerchief, continued to wipe the sleeping Emperor Taishang, and muttered to herself: "Hearing him say this, if the Great Wei Kingdom is going to die, what should the Emperor Tai do, alas, how can it be so ......?"

Cao Ying, who was sleeping, seemed to hear something, his face twitched slightly, and his eyelids also jumped, but the palace maid Xiaohuan, who was preoccupied, didn't notice it.

It was a long, long dream, so real.

It was as if he had returned to that turbulent time, and in his dreams, he repeated what he had experienced.

He dreamed that he and Yuan Shao became friends, and they were young and frivolous, and they went to steal other people's brides together.

He dreamed that he was the county magistrate for the first time, beating up the bullies in the township.

He dreamed that Luoyang City and Yuan Shao would kill the eunuchs together.

I dreamed of stabbing Dong alone, Chen Liu's army, the rise of Yanzhou, the bloodshed of Xuzhou, the last shot of Guandu, the success of Chibi, the defeat of Guanzhong, and the shame of Tongguan's fiasco.

Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Xun You, Cao Ren, Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun...... Vivid faces flashed in front of them, those deeply hated enemies, those courtiers and friends who had fought side by side, were smiling at themselves, and then one after another drifted away, disappeared, and finally, only he was left standing on the top of the mountains, looking down at the sea of clouds under his feet.

Where am I?

Who am I?

Is it a waking or a dream?

Am I still alive?

A series of question marks came into my mind, and suddenly, the mountains under my feet sank, and I fell from the highest peak, into the chaotic sea of clouds.

It was pitch black in front of him, and the rumbling thunder stimulated the eardrums, and in the terrible thunder, there was another terrifying voice: the Great Wei State is dying, the Great Wei State is dying, the Great Wei State is dying...... Suddenly, he fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and at that moment, it was as if his soul had also been shaken out of his body, and he stood outside, watching his body fall apart and shatter into pieces of flesh.

Then, his body floated up and floated towards the sky.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

The dim candle flame, the dim palace, and the palace maid who talked to herself and looked a little good.

Cao Ying sat up like a corpse.

"Ahh

The palace maid Xiaohuan was startled, screamed and fell to the ground, lost half of her soul, and kept screaming, thinking that she had seen a ghost.

Looking at the palace maid who had no body at all and only knew that the ghosts were screaming, Cao Ying frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If you scream again, I will divide your five horses." ”

Under the intimidation, Xiaohuan stopped screaming, and secretly glanced at the angry Emperor Taishang on the couch in fear, and the lost soul came back for a long time, and suddenly, her mind was sober.

The emperor is awake! The emperor is awake!

After understanding, Xiaohuan instinctively knelt on the ground and cried in fear: "The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty, please spare your life, spare your life." ”

Having just fallen asleep from more than two years of slumber, Cao Ying's thinking speed has not fully recovered, and the handmaid's fear and begging for mercy instinctively adapted, but he always felt that there was something very bad in it, but he couldn't react for a while.

What's wrong, what's wrong? ’

Cao Ying touched his head and thought painfully, he felt that his brain was like a rusty knife, how could he cut through the intricate thinking obstacles.

Suddenly, he figured out the answer.

So his face sank, and he said angrily: "Slut, how dare you call me the emperor?" ”
