Chapter 141: Wealth
The night was silent, and everything seemed quiet, except for Liang Jun's footsteps.
"Something isn't right!"
Huan Zhong stopped his hurried footsteps and stopped to watch. After crossing the Lei River, they pursued in the direction of the retreat of the Chu army, and the terrain gradually became narrow and undulating, and the road became dangerous and difficult to navigate.
"It's so gloomy up ahead, what's the place?"
Huan Zhong's face was solemn, and he asked the deputy general on the side.
"It's Boling!"
"That's not right!"
Huan Zhong muttered, there was silence around him, there was no trace of anger, and Huan Zhong suddenly felt something in his heart. The intuition formed by years of fierce battles told him that the defeat of the Chu army was not so simple.
"The Chu army is cheating!"
"General!"
Huan Zhong looked at the clouds in front of him, and a feeling of tiredness hit his heart, his body was unstable, and he was supported by the deputy general.
"Order the three armies, slowly retreat, and don't let the Chu army see the flaws."
Huan Zhong's voice was soft and weak. The sequelae of fighting for hundreds of miles and sleepless nights finally broke out at this moment. Huan Zhong bent over, in the arms of the deputy general, and admonished.
"General, our 30,000 former troops have all entered Boling!"
The lieutenant's panicked voice came, making Huan Zhong's already weak body even more tired, and he coughed unconsciously. The sound in the words disturbs people's hearts and lungs.
"Oops!"
On the high ground, Cai Tong's face was dark, and the deputy general on the side observed the abnormality of Liang Jun.
"Master Hou, Huan Zhong's formation has stopped."
Cai Tong's thin face was still stained with blood and plaster, but his eyes were old and spicy.
"Did Huan Zhong find an anomaly?"
Cai Tong sneered, his torn armor was particularly dazzling in the night wind, and he waved his hand.
"It's too late. Ordered Wenqing to send troops, first kill 30,000 Liang army vanguards, and then kill Huan Zhong's old thief. ”
Bright fireworks lit up the night sky, and the sky-high flames burned in the sky above Boling as if it were day.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
The firelight shone on a hideous and weak face, and Huan Zhong roared out with almost all his strength.
The sound of the battle sounded, and the Chu army, which had already been ambushed in Boling, showed its fangs and swarmed.
Huan Zhong did not hesitate at all, and led his troops and horses to retreat. He knew it was too late. If Huan Zhong does not retreat, then not only the 30,000 Liang troops in front of him, but I am afraid that they will end up with the annihilation of the whole army.
To be able to become the vanguard of the army, all of them are elite soldiers and horses. Abandoning the car to protect the handsome, although it was a last resort, Huan Zhong's heart was extremely painful.
Before the battle was reached, the faint blood in the air was extremely pungent. Approaching the Lei River, Huan Zhong glanced at the ascendant bloody killing aura above the battlefield, gritted his teeth fiercely, and scolded bitterly.
"Cai Tong, you are ruthless enough. This game, you win! ”
The sky was bright, and the Chu army searched the battlefield. Cai Tong walked on the Boling Desert Road, and the ground was full of armor and corpses dropped by the Liang army. Between victory and defeat, it was like a dream.
In the battle of Leihe, Cai Tong left the corpses of 10,000 Chu soldiers, and he almost died in the hands of Huan Zhong. But in the blink of an eye, it was a big victory.
It's just that at this moment, instead of the slightest joy, Cai Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
The use of soldiers is the use of risk, but as a last resort, which general is willing to do this?
Huan Wujia has a great cause, if he competes with him for national strength, then Cai Tong has only a dead end. It is ridiculous that the lord of a country has been forced to such a point.
With the heads of 10,000 Chu troops in exchange for 30,000 Liang troops, this transaction can not be lost.
"Master Hou!"
General Wen Qing was embarrassed and came to Cai Tong's side, waiting for his order.
"Order the whole army, cross the Lei River, chase and kill the Liang army, and capture Wancheng. Those who have won the head of Huan Zhong will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. ”
There was a kite chirping in the sky, which was extremely piercing, and Cai Tong raised his head, his eyes slightly wrinkled.
"Bring the gun!"
Cai Tong held a spear in his hand, and his body was full of energy, bursting out with a power that did not belong to his age. The spear pierced the void and shot the flapping gray kite.
Wancheng.
"Prime Minister, our speed is still too slow now."
In the wide hall, the generals of the Shu army informed Yang Xian of the delivery of supplies. Although the Shu army captured Wancheng, it was still too slow to move the families of the Black Fly Army.
Just to transport the first batch of old and weak women and children and supplies, it took two and a half days to go, and these old and weak people are not sergeants after all, and this speed is quite fast. It's just that the military situation is like fire, but it can't tolerate a trace of hesitation on their part.
Yang Xian opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Liao Cheng." ”
"The last general!"
"You lead 10,000 Changce troops to Duyang City to guard against the Liang army in the Central Plains."
"The last will obey."
"Qin Feng."
"The last general!"
"You lead the Xiliang Hussars to garrison the west of Wancheng to guard against the Liang army from Guanzhong."
"The last will obey."
There were so many materials and people to migrate in Wancheng that the Shu army didn't have time to start moving.
"The order went down and exchanged the gold and silver in the Wancheng treasury for the cars, boats, cattle and horses of the people of Wancheng, as long as there were wheels that could move, all of them were exchanged. In addition, the people of Wancheng were recruited, and those who were willing to be escorted with the army were greatly rewarded. If the gold and silver are not enough, use cloth, furniture, antiques, and famous paintings, and if these are still not enough, use the military rations of Wancheng. All in all, I want everything that can still be moved around this city to be used by our army. ”
For Yang Xian, what really matters in this Wancheng is that the first belongs to the families of the hundreds of thousands of black dragons, followed by the 1,000 grassland war horses and the armaments of the Liang army, and the rest is the military rations that Huan Wu has hoarded in Wancheng.
Wancheng is in the hands of Huan Wu and is the passage to the south. But in Yang Xian's hands, it is a place of four battles, and there is a danger of being surrounded at any time.
Fortunately, because of Jin Xin's surrender, neither Huan Wu, who was far away in Shendu, nor Huan Zhong and Cai Tong on the front line, did not react at this moment.
It is impossible for Yang Xian to occupy Wancheng. Although with the thick walls of Wancheng, the Shu army can hold it, but in this way, it will fall into the last thing Yang Xian wants to see, and start a tug-of-war of attrition with the Liang army.
He Huan Wu is richer than rich, Yang Xian is not stupid to this point.
I have to say that Huan Wu's family background is really thick. With the families of the Shu army and the hundreds of thousands of black dragons, it is really impossible to move all the materials in Wancheng in a short period of time. For Yang Xian, the materials here really can't be taken away, and they can't fall into the hands of Huan Wu and Cai Tong.
"My subordinates understand!"
The generals of the Shu army got Yang Xian's order and went down to start preparations, but only Han Buyi stayed.
Yang Xian waved his hand, and Han Buyi quietly walked up. Yang Xian said a few words in his ear, and Han Buyi straightened up and arched his hand.
"The last general obeys!"
Yang Xian was the only one left in the empty hall, and I saw him gently shake the feather fan, his eyes gloomy.
"Cai Tong, you are really ruthless!"
