Chapter 242: Han Sui is coming
Zhao Yang and the others didn't stay long in Luoyang, and since Emperor Han Xian decided to go to Xuchang, there was no point in them staying any longer.
Liu Bei found a reason on the same day and hurriedly retreated to Nanjun.
This trip to Luoyang made him see the gap with the princes of the world, and his swollen heart was also a lot more restrained.
Yuan Shu was the second to leave, and before leaving, he sent an envoy to Zhao Yang to inquire about Ji Ling's army.
Zhao Yang didn't embarrass the messenger, he told the other party everything he knew.
The envoy was very grateful, he returned to Yuan Shu's camp and told Yuan Shu all of Zhao Yang's words without a word.
Yuan Shu was completely dead at this time.
He didn't doubt Zhao Yang's words, after all, the other party was the winner, if it was really them who eliminated Ji Ling, then it shouldn't be such an answer.
Cao Cao was busy with the matter of moving the capital, and when Zhao Yang left, he sent Cheng Yu to represent himself and sent some local products to the Zhao army camp.
Zhao Yang welcomed Cheng Yu very warmly, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, unable to combine it with the image of using human flesh as dried meat recorded in later history.
It is really a human being who cannot be seen.
Who would have thought that a person with a peaceful face would be able to do something that would not appear even in the afterlife.
Cheng Yu was very uncomfortable by Zhao Yang, he chatted lightly, and then got up and left here.
Zhao Yang personally sent Cheng Yu to the camp gate, looking at the other party's distant back, he told the people around him not to underestimate Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Dian Wei and the others didn't understand, but Fang Xuanling and Jia Xu both understood.
"When we were in the party, Cao Cao didn't have a single soldier, but now he can dispatch 50,000 troops at will, isn't it worth thinking about?"
Zhao Yang turned around and went back to the camp, his words still lingering in everyone's ears.
Everyone recalled what Zhao Yang said when they met Cao Cao and Liu Bei for the first time.
Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? Cao Liu!
They looked at the Cao Jun camp opposite, and put away a little arrogance in their hearts, knowing that there are people outside the sky.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Yang ordered the camp to be raised, and tens of thousands of troops left Luoyang in a mighty way and headed towards Hangu Pass.
Xu Rong and Li Meng looked back at the Luoyang city wall behind them, and felt a little emotional.
At the beginning, they followed Dong Taishi and came to Luoyang with fighting spirit, and they wanted to live forever, but they didn't expect it to be short-lived and returned to the original point.
"Let's go! There is no need to look at the past clouds and smoke, you and I can live, that is God's eyes. ”
Xu Rong patted Li Meng's shoulder, and now he was a little apprehensive.
They all got the news that not long after the division of troops, Guo Yan encountered Liu Bei's army from the south, and the two sides had a tragic confrontation.
Not only did Wang Fang and others die in the melee, but even Guo Yan also died at the hands of Wei Yan.
Zhao Yang led the army to stop and go, and it took three days to reach Hangu Pass, what he didn't know was that Dasanguan in the west was now fighting fiercely.
Since the last time Han Sui accepted the canonization of the imperial court, he quickly took several warlords in the west to his command easily.
This directly increased his power by more than four times.
After consolidating his territory, he turned his eyes to the east, he knew that Ma Teng had an alliance with Zhao Yang, which kept him awake at night, and finally decided to raid Ma Teng.
After his careful planning, when Ma Teng's defense was not strict, he suddenly launched an attack, and captured Ma Teng's seventeen cities in one day.
He sent the general Yan Xing to lead an army of 50,000 to surround Wuwei.
Han Sui himself led the remaining 60,000 troops and 30,000 wild wolf cavalry to cross Wuwei and prepare for a surprise attack on Dasanguan.
It's just that Han Sui didn't expect that Zhao Yang was always on guard against him, and he hurriedly led the army to Dasan Pass, and Zhao Jun on the wall did not panic.
Su Dingfang and Zhao Jie came to the wall and saw the situation below, Su Dingfang knew that Ma Teng was defeated.
Zhao Jie wanted to go out of the customs to face the battle, but was stopped by Su Dingfang, he told Zhao Jie to let his subordinates do a good job of defense, and it was not too late to wait until noon to go out of the customs.
Han Sui watched the performance of the defenders and knew that his plan for a sneak attack had failed.
He was not annoyed, and ordered to retreat to camp for five miles, and Su Dingfang saw the opportunity and immediately ordered to go out to meet the enemy.
The west gate of the Dasan Pass slowly opened, and the army rushed out, and soon set up a position in front of the pass.
Han Sui had no choice but to give up what he had just done and immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle, he transferred troops in the formation, but Su Dingfang did not take the opportunity to attack.
In fact, Han Sui had already set up an ambush, and he deliberately built a camp in front of the defenders and the speed was very slow.
It's just that he didn't admit that the other party's generals were so vigilant that they had to withdraw the ambush soldiers, intending to defeat the Zhao army by force.
He didn't talk to Su Dingfang, he directly ordered the attack, and immediately the army withdrew to both sides, and 30,000 Qiang cavalry rushed out from behind.
Su Dingfang also issued a military order, and the army also quickly withdrew on both sides.
What caught Han Sui's eyes was a heavy infantry, and he sneered in his heart, if he wanted to rely on these to stop the Qiang people's attack, it was simply a fool's dream.
Brother Yao, the leader of the wild wolf Qiang, was very rampant, and he laughed out loud that the Zhao army was empty.
In front of the heavy infantry, Li Siye's eyes were bright.
He held the Mo knife tightly and stared, the Qiang cavalry who rushed over, shouted and killed, and the five thousand soldiers swung their knives at the same time, directly splitting the thousands of cavalry in front of him, even the people and horses, into two sections.
This confrontation directly scared Brother Yao half to death, and just now the five great warriors in their clan were directly hacked to death.
Han Sui in the back was also in a cold sweat, he wanted to withdraw the cavalry, but it was not so easy to retreat when it was mixed together.
Li Siye led the Modao Army and directly killed a pair of Qiang cavalry.
He has been stationed in Hulu Valley for a long time and rarely appears in front of the world, so Han Sui and the others don't know about this army at all.
This horse-foot confrontation lasted for half an hour, and in the end the Qiang cavalry was timid.
Especially when they saw their patriarch being cut in two by a tall enemy general, it scared their courage even more.
Han Sui hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops, and the Qiang cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another as if they heard the sound of heaven, and fled to the west.
At this time, a rain of arrows suddenly rose behind the Modao Army, and another wave of enemy soldiers were harvested.
Han Sui's heart was dripping blood, this wild wolf Qiang was the one in this Qiang tribe, and he admired his existence the most, but he didn't expect that more than 24,000 people would be killed in today's battle.
He ordered the army to retreat to Qinting and confronted Su Dingfang and others.
Su Dingfang left Li Siye to guard the pass, and he and Zhao Jie led an army of 40,000 to Qinting to provoke.
At first, Han Sui didn't dare to fight, he was frightened by Li Siye, and later Li Jian came to report that the other party had no heavy infantry, so he dared to come out and take a look.
Outside the camp, a silvery white patch reflected the sunlight, making him feel a little dazzling.
After observing for a long time, Han Sui still gave up the idea of going out to face the battle, and now the low morale should be considered in the long run.
