Ye Chengzhen was completely blocked by the outside world just like after Guo Ye gave the order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Guo Ye's method was very simple, widen the river outside the city to the maximum, and then rebuild a wall along the other side of the river, similar to when Gan Ning attacked Fancheng in the north, but the wall outside Yecheng was higher, thicker and stronger!

Outside this wall, a deep pit nearly a mile long was dug!

Only narrow passages led to the high wall, and every ten feet there were watchtowers on which ten men could stand tall and defend themselves with strong bows.

It is conceivable that in such a situation, if the people of Yecheng want to come out, they must first bypass the traps such as the horse rejection wall and the horse trap made by Cao Wei himself, and then come to the river, the river is wide and deep, even if they cross the river, they will hit a thick wall! He also had to face the intensive shooting of the Taiping army on the wall.

As early as when Cao Wei retreated to Hebei, Cao Pi hoarded enough food in Yecheng for three years, which the Taiping army also guessed, after all, to defend to the death, you must always prepare sufficiently, and food is a necessity.

But now the Taiping Army doesn't care, let alone three years, it doesn't matter if Yecheng consumes energy for ten years.

Anyway, it's already isolated from the world.

Yecheng only needs tens of thousands of troops here to trap the enemy, and Guo Ye can more calmly dispatch troops to sweep Jizhou and Youzhou.

Yecheng, the Imperial Palace

Cao Pi locked himself in the dormitory, saw no one, and had fun with the harem concubines, with a mentality of not caring about the monstrous floods in the outside world at all.

Cao Wei's old ministers came to see him every day, but they were all turned away.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and others all know that Cao Pi is already dead.

At the beginning, Xun You's suggestion was not adopted to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and now, the other party has added fuel to the fire on this stubborn defense, making Cao Pi's plan to defend Yecheng become a cocoon.

The morale of the army collapsed, and the situation deteriorated.

The most anxious ones are the countless high-ranking families in Yecheng.

They have the scholars who were originally the gate lords of Hebei, the scholars who fled from the Central Plains, and the wealthy families who wanted to invest in Cao Pi to earn a high position during the Cao Pi crisis, but this time, they all fell into a panic.

Is money useful? Does power work?

Can you break through the blockade outside Yecheng?

The military camp was in turmoil, mutinies broke out suddenly, and Yecheng fell into unprecedented chaos only a month after being besieged.

The rule of law has been destroyed, and people's hearts have been lost.

Everywhere there were vicious thugs, and every day there were people who rushed out of the city to flee for their lives but died halfway through.

Within two months, the four states of Hebei fell, but Yecheng was the only one that was not captured by the Taiping army.

And overnight, the palace built by Cao Pi was burned, and Yecheng instantly burst into flames, and the whole city suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

The elite of the Taiping army went out and destroyed the city in various places, but Guo Ye stayed in the military camp outside Yecheng, in his eyes, the most important place is Yecheng, and there can be no change here.

When the fire was lit, Guo Ye was asleep, and after being woken up by Zhang Yi, Guo Ye immediately got up, got dressed and walked out of the handsome tent, Deng Ai patted his face to make himself sober, and led Guo Ye's war horse to come.

Guo Ye didn't ink, turned over and took a team of personal soldiers and rushed to the periphery of the blockade outside Yecheng.

Through the narrow road, climb the ladder to the sentry tower on the city wall, Guo Ye looked at the direction of Yecheng, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the black smoke was billowing out, reflecting the black sky as bright as day.

"Where is the most intense fire?"

Guo Ye pointed to Yecheng, Deng Ai spread out the map of Yecheng beside him, and replied: "Yushizi, it's the palace." ”

Guo Ye immediately ordered: "The herald orders the whole army to be prepared to strictly prevent someone from escaping while the chaos is in order, this is not good, it will be Cao Pi's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea." ”

On the periphery, Guo Ye didn't know why Yecheng caught fire, especially for fear that Cao Pi wanted to use such a mess to get rid of the golden cicada.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, people from all sides of Yecheng flocked to the periphery, some carrying large wooden planks, and some holding boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Guo Ye looked down at the people fleeing across the river under the wall, and he didn't need to give an order, but whenever anyone entered the firing range, they would be ruthlessly shot by the Taiping army.

Even if there are not enough people, these people rush into the river and have nowhere to flee for their lives.

Behind him was a raging flame, in front of him was a stagnant backwater, across the river, without a bank, only a high wall.

The people who fled for their lives were rich and poor, and the three religions and nine streams were different, and there were dense corpses floating on the river, and the river water had long been stained red with blood, so the people who fled for their lives could only retreat and beg for a living from the people on the city wall outside the range of the Taiping army.

Bustling and noisy, the sight in front of you is disheartening.

And Guo Ye Bafeng stood on the sentry tower without moving, watching all this indifferently.

Suddenly, in front of him, on the other side of the river, someone waved at him and shouted.

"Childe, Childe! Dare to ask Gongzi if he is the son of Ye who commands the army? ”

Guo Ye stared at it and saw that the person who was waving to him was dressed in official clothes, full of elegance, dragging his family behind him, and also brought some simple luggage.

"Who are you?"

Guo Ye asked loudly.

And when the man saw that Guo Ye responded to him, he hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding the young man beside him, took a step forward, straightened his clothes, and saluted respectfully, and then said loudly: "Childe, in Xia Zhongxuan, I have a little bit of a thin relationship with Guo Yuanjun, please open the net, and I am willing to surrender to Guo Yuanjun." ”

As soon as Zhong Xuan said this, countless people around him also responded, all said that they would surrender to Guo Jia, and immediately expressed their loyalty, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Guo Ye knew that Zhong Xuan was also a person who could not be underestimated in Cao Wei's officialdom, and his weight was not light.

But he ignored the other party's intention to surrender, and instead asked, "How did the fire start in the city?" ”

Zhong Miao was silent and hesitated to phrase it, but someone next to him frantically raised his neck and shouted at Guo Ye.

"King Chen, it's King Chen, King Chen is crazy! He burned down the palace and set fires all over the city for everyone to be buried! ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

King Chen, Cao Pi said that the emperor not only demoted Liu Xie to the king, but also made his brothers kings.

Cao Zhi was named King Chen!

Cao Zhi is crazy? That Cao Zijian, who was only eight years old and full of poetry, actually burned down the Cao family's palace?

Is it anger at Cao Pi?

inherited everything from Cao Ying, but destroyed everything from Cao Ying.

Cao Zhi has reason to be angry!

Guo Ye looked at the smoke-billowing Yecheng, and now Yecheng has been burned, and what has been burned down is not only the splendid palace, but also countless grains!

In this way, Yecheng obviously can't support it for long.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye was slightly excited, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Zhong Xuan saw this below, and hurriedly shouted: "Childe, childe!" In the next vow, please put the son in the whole family a way to live, do your best in this life, and be loyal to the king. ”

Zhong Miao had wives and concubines behind him, his children, and even Zhong Hui, a general in the post-Three Kingdoms era in history.

Guo Ye just looked down at Zhong Xuan for a moment in place, and he could clearly see a trace of anticipation in Zhong Xuan's despair.

Still turned to leave, Guo Ye didn't give him any answer.

After getting off the sentry tower and walking outside through the narrow road, Guo Ye turned over and immediately returned to the barracks, wrote a secret letter in his hand, and sent Zhang Yi to send it to Guo Jia in person.

Ten days later, all parts of the north and south of the river learned about the battle situation in Yecheng.

However, it is very different from the real situation.

Cao Pi closed the city and did not come out, and then slaughtered all the officials and people in the city, and finally burned the city to commit suicide!

Cao Ying is famous for slaughtering the city, and it is not surprising that Cao Pi is now known by outsiders to also slaughter the city.

It is not unusual for people to act frantically when they are in a desperate situation.

Outside Yecheng, Guo Ye listened to the information every time, and sometimes climbed the watchtower to take a look.

Hungry all over the ground, the ashes after the burning of the city scattered with the wind, and the besieged Yecheng was not only a dead city, but a mass grave!

"Childe, how did the outside world know about the battle report of Yecheng, and it is so ridiculous?"

Deng Ai followed Guo Ye and looked down at the miserable gambling scene inside the wall.

Guo Ye closed his eyes and sighed, and said, "Because of this sin, I want to blame Cao Pi." ”

When Guo Ye sent a secret letter to Guo Jia, he informed him of the situation, and suggested that rumors be released to put the responsibility for the annihilation of Yecheng on the Cao family.

Guo Jia naturally agreed.

After another month and a half, there was no vitality inside and outside Yecheng.

Guo Ye ordered to raze Yecheng and burn all the corpses, but all the Taiping soldiers who participated in this battle would be richly rewarded, but from now on, this battle can only be buried in the bottom of their hearts.

This is an era in which everyone is in the clouds, and it is an era in which the truth can always be rewritten, when the world's nine Chengren all talk about Cao Pi's evil deeds, even if there are Taiping soldiers who personally participated in this battle to say another fact, but no one will necessarily believe it.

Going out in the spring and ending in the late summer, Guo Ye led the army to attack Hebei in the north, and in less than half a year, he subdued the four states of Hebei under the premise of almost no damage.

Since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the troubled times in which the princes of various places have cut off their dominances has finally ended!

The person who can finally insert Daxu on the top of the country is surnamed Guo.

After razing Yecheng and completely submerging the city in history, Guo Ye triumphantly led his soldiers and horses.

Stepping on the road to Luoyang, Guo Ye's eyes were full of excitement, even if the summer was hot, it made him feel like a spring breeze.

The mountains and rivers are green, the heart is relaxed, Guo Ye, who is riding a horse, can't help but think of the near future, his most admired father is going to reign in the world and create a new prosperous era, he can't suppress his excitement.

Outside the city of Luoyang

Guo Ye was about to lead the army into the city, but outside the city, he saw a person leading a civilian official out of the city to greet him.

Xu Shu.

Turning over and dismounting, Guo Ye was about to salute Xu Shu, but he was stunned like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Xu Shu took all the officials around him, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Meet the lord!" ”

"Lord Xu, you, you're wrong! Father is not here! ”

Guo Ye was suddenly panicked, Xu Shu has always been steady, and he would never make such a move for no reason.

And Xu Shu took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Guo Ye, and said calmly: "After the lord reads it, he understands everything." ”

Guo Ye took the letter with trembling hands, opened it, and immediately turned around like crazy and got on the horse, raised the horsewhip and headed east.
