Chapter 161: The granary of Mocheng is destroyed
The wind and sand are long, and the wolf smoke is everywhere.
After all, Dawei couldn't hold back and raised troops to attack again.
However, this time, General Wu suddenly gave an order to abandon the city and retreat to Xiaocheng.
"Why did Master abandon the city?"
Yun Xianxian was always puzzled, but General Wu looked like he was in his chest.
"Do you have a better way?"
Despite her reluctance, Yun Xianxian shook her head.
In fact, General Wu himself has ideas in his heart, although he is over seventy years old, he is old and strong, and his mind is very clear.
For Dahuai, Mocheng is an insignificant town.
Even if they defend it, they can't completely defeat the Wei army.
On the way here, he had already written to Ouyang Ziyu, the Taishi of Southern Qi.
It was precisely because the emperor knew that he had a friendship with Ouyang Ziyu in the early years, so he sent him to help in the war.
As for the Dongyue State, judging from his analysis, this Dongyue State Lord had no intention of cooperating with the Wei State at all.
Abandoning Mocheng now is just a delaying tactic.
Although Mocheng is the territory of Dahuai, it is an isolated and helpless small city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Before he came from the capital, His Majesty gave a death order, and this expedition must unite the two countries of Dongyue and Southern Qi to annihilate the Wei State in one fell swoop.
He also made a military order in the court, if he could not completely annihilate the Wei State within half a year, then his old bones would simply raise his head and face the saint.
"Hil! Have the people sent to deliver the message to Dongyue returned? ”
"I've come back, but Dongyue Guo seems to have just received the letter and didn't say anything."
The more silent they were, the more they proved that their Dongyue State would not help the Wei State.
Even if they don't cooperate with themselves, I'm afraid they won't cooperate with Wei.
"Well, let's go down!"
On the way from Mocheng to Xiaocheng, the old general ordered people to dig a lot of traps and set up many traps.
And before leaving, there were also a lot of traps in Mocheng.
"General Qiyu, the people of Mocheng have settled down, but there are still many people who keep asking questions, asking when we can return to Mocheng!"
"Vice General Liu! Go and tell the people to be impetuous! General Ben promised that in less than a month, they would be able to return home! ”
"Yes! And the subordinates passed on the word. ”
Two days ago, Dahuai had already received news from Nanqi.
Ouyang Ziyu is now trying his best to persuade the lord of the country to help Dahuai attack the Wei state.
The reason why he abandoned Mocheng so decisively was actually to delay time.
Compared with Mocheng, the equipment for fighting in Xiaocheng is more complete today.
And once Mocheng is occupied, Wei will definitely move grain and grass into the city, so that the secret passage to the granary that he sent people to dig in advance will be able to come in handy.
If you talk about leading troops to fight, even ten Mokar can't fight him.
The fall of Great Wei is only a matter of time.
……
At that time, in the palace of Southern Qi, Ouyang Ziyu was trying his best to persuade the lord of Southern Qi to cooperate with Dahuai.
Even though he spent a whole day persuading him skillfully, the lord of Nanqi was always entangled and refused to agree.
"Ziyu, do you know that if I really unite with Dahuai, there will be a way back! I am worthy of every person of Southern Qi, and I am afraid that after a hundred years, I will no longer have the shame to face my former queen Saling! ”
Ouyang Ziyu's words really hit his heart.
But the mother family of Empress Kexian is the Wei State.
A few days ago, Dongyue sent letters to Nanqi many times, persuading him to cooperate with Dahuai and jointly destroy Wei, but he repeatedly refused.
The reason for this is not only for the two cities of Wei and a few boxes of jewels.
is more because of his favorite former queen Saling.
Now, after several battles, the Wei State has suffered setbacks one after another.
attacked Mocheng many times, and suffered losses from Dahuai.
This made him a little shaken.
Now, even the Taishi has persuaded himself like this, and he has nothing to say.
He knew that once he cooperated with Dahuai and worked together to destroy the Wei State, then half of the territory of Dawei would be his own.
He is worthy of the country, the ancestors of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the people of the world, but he is only sorry for the most beloved woman in his life, Princess Saling.
"You tell me, think again! Give me another day, okay? Taishi! ”
"The minister understands the hardships of the lord, and the minister will give you enough time to think about it, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire first."
After the Taishi left, the lord of Nanqi suddenly had red eyes, and he silently shed tears.
In fact, he didn't want to be the lord of this country in the first place, just because his father died early, and he was the only son under his knees.
Adhering to the legacy of the first emperor, he reluctantly became the lord of the country.
Originally, he was cowardly and mediocre.
It wasn't until that year that Da Wei took the initiative to make friends with Nanqi and married his concubine Saling to him, that he gradually cheered up.
The princess is both talented and beautiful, and treats him very well.
not only won his favor, but also helped him consolidate the country and stabilize the dynasty.
Maybe it's jealousy!
Soon after the princess married into the Southern Qi Dynasty, she accidentally ate the fruit of the poisonous Sanchi grain.
That thing was originally a herb unique to Southern Qi.
Its petals can be used in medicine, but the fruit is extremely poisonous. If you eat it by mistake, you will die!
After so many years, every time he thought about it, he regretted it.
If he could have shown her in advance that the fruit was poisonous, I am afraid that the princess would not eat it by mistake.
After the princess died, he specially stopped for three days to pay tribute.
And decreed that she was named Queen Xunsi, buried in the imperial mausoleum, and buried with him after a hundred years.
For so many years, Princess Salin has always been a scar in his heart.
Now that Da Wei and Da Huai have started a war because of national hatred and family hatred, he originally didn't want to participate in it.
But in the end, he still looked at Saling's face, agreed to help Dawei, and raised troops to attack Dahuai.
I thought that in this way, he could alleviate the guilt of Saling.
But today, the Taishi suddenly made a bold admonition, persuading himself to cooperate with Dahuai and counterattack the Wei State.
As the lord of Southern Qi, this is his unshirkable responsibility.
For the sake of the people of Southern Qi, maybe he should really think about it, Taishi's suggestion.
"Saling...... Would you understand me if you were there? ”
The huge palace was empty.
He muttered under his breath, but no one answered him.
At that time, in the territory of Mocheng, the Wei army had been successfully stationed in the city.
Although many soldiers and generals were lost in the city before, as long as they can take this city, it is worth it.
"General, the last general has ordered all the grain and grass to be transported into the granary, and all the organs in the city have also ordered people to dismantle and clean up!"
"Well, give the order to go down and repair in situ, General Ben needs to play the lord of the country first, and then decide the next plan!"
Mocal had a beard on his face and commanded his men in a rough voice.
"The last general commands."
A few days ago, news came from the palace that Dongyue had never made it clear that it wanted to cooperate with Great Wei, and the spies he sent reported that Sitar, the lord of Dongyue, had personally led the army and rushed to this side.
It seems that this Dongyue will definitely not unite with Great Wei.
In this way, they were left with only one ally, Nanqi.
"Someone! Hurriedly sent someone to write to You Xi, the general of Southern Qi, saying that our army was going to attack Xiaocheng tomorrow, and asked him to gather men and horses as a vanguard to open the way for Lao Tzu's army! ”
"Yes!"
I heard that the informant came to report that Dahuai's coach this time had been replaced by his old rival Wu Chen a few days ago.
I can't imagine that after so many years, this old thing is not dead!
It's no wonder that it would be so tricky for him to lead his army to attack Mocheng these days.
It turned out that this old thing was behind the scenes.
Hum! However, with his current strength, even if he loses half of it, he is not afraid, what he leads is a ten-year elite eagle division army carefully cultivated by His Majesty.
And there are many people in the army who understand the organs, although they accidentally get some troops, but fortunately, these ordinary organs can't hurt themselves.
Looks like that's all this bad old man is! It's old and useless! Even pediatric tricks were used.
At night, Mocheng seems to be exceptionally quiet.
Except for the footsteps of the sentinels walking back and forth, all that remained in the city was the rustle of the breeze and willows.
And just when the soldiers of Great Wei were sleeping peacefully in their dreams, the soldiers of Dahuai had already secretly crawled out of the secret passage and sneaked into the granary.
With so much food, it is impossible to resist it all.
"General Ziyou said, pick up the good ones and take them, and burn the rest for him!"
"Understood!"
"Let's do it!"
The small sound in the granary did not attract the attention of the guards outside, and soon half of the grain was stolen.
Seeing that the good things were almost lucky, the leader quietly turned out the fire twist from his cuff, and after the others poured all the oil and water on the grain bag, the fire twist was thrown, and the grain in the granary instantly burst into flames.
"Withdraw!"
After escaping from the dark passage, these guys did not forget the instructions before they came, and sealed the secret passage as they walked.
"Someone! Oh no! The granary is on fire!! Someone put out the fire! ”
"Come on!! It's a fire! It's a fire!! ”
The shouts came and went, waking up Mocal, who was already asleep, in an instant.
"What's going on out there?"
"General Qiyu, granary...... It's the granary that's on fire! We're trying to put out the fire! ”
"What??"
This gang of shit!!
"Don't be angry, General!"
How could he not be angry about such a big thing?
How did this good granary catch fire? It must be the people over there who are making trouble behind their backs!
By the time he arrived, the fire had almost been extinguished, but most of the food had been lost.
"General......
"Have you found any suspicious people?"
Mocal wrinkled his eyebrows and said with a meaty face.
"General Qiyu, the surrounding generals have been interrogated, and no suspicious person has been found."
"A bunch of garbage!! Pull all the guards of the grain and cut them down! ”
As soon as Mokal finished speaking, the two soldiers in the distance cowered and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!!"
"What are you doing? Why don't you drag it out of the city and cut it down! ”
"Yes!"
The carelessness of guarding the granary, resulting in the destruction of the granary, is a crime of dereliction of duty, and it is cheaper to cut off their heads directly.
