Cao Wei, Luoyang.

In the majestic palace, a brand-new palace is rising from the ground, the palace building madman Cao Rong has recently achieved fruitful architectural results, and now the scale of the Luoyang Imperial City is getting bigger and bigger, and the large-scale building complex seems to be the great fortune of the Wei State is becoming more and more prosperous, a thriving scene.

However, at this time, the princes in the Great Wei Dynasty were full of sadness one by one, which was a little incompatible with the atmosphere of the great powers outside the court.

Cao Wei sent Biqiu Jian to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, but he didn't expect Gongsun Yuan to only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, but he was defeated and returned, more than half of the 100,000 army casualties, and the Wei army escaped by luck, but it was less than 50,000.

It turned out that after Biqiu Jian led the army to the north, he went straight to Xiangping City in Liaodong, all the way to the dust, without rest.

Gongsun Yuan led the army to block Biqiu Jian in the Liao River, and set up a camp early to wait for work.

When Biqiu Jian killed Gongsun Yuan's preset position, he found that there were heavy camps set up on the opposite side of the Liao River, and no matter how Biqiu Jian invited him to fight, Gongsun Yuan could not hold out.

Biqiu Jian had no choice but to set up camp and began to pull out Gongsun Yuan's forts one by one. However, in this way, the progress was very slow, and after half a month of fighting, only a dozen walled forts were pulled out, and he was never able to find a chance to fight Gongsun Yuan.

However, Gongsun Yuan often sent a small force of cavalry to harass the grain route of Biqiu Jian, and occasionally encountered attacks by sorcerers in the northeast.

In mid-September, one day, dark clouds began to roll on both sides of the Liao River, and then it began to rain.

This heavy rain is ten days at a time, there is no trace of stopping, the soldier who is familiar with the climate of Liaodong told Biqiu Jian that this is the autumn rain, the so-called autumn rain is continuous, this rain seems to be endless.

The land on both sides of the Liao River became extremely muddy and difficult to navigate, and the water of the entire Liao River began to rise gradually, but fortunately the rise was not particularly fast, and it was not enough to flood the camp of the Wei army.

But suddenly, one day, a sentry reported that the flood was coming, and asked Biqiu Jian to evacuate quickly!

Biqiu Jian was stunned, he had fought for so many years, what kind of formation had he never seen? This rain has been raining for so many days and has not seen the Wei army camp flooded, how could a flood suddenly break out?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Biqiu Jian was secretly sure in his heart, just in case, he ordered another group of sentry horses to confirm this information, and ordered the Wei army camp to be built as a wall to protect the Wei army camp from erosion by the current.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the whistle horse reported that the flood was really coming, and it was coming very quickly.

Almost accompanied by a whistle horse.

The sentry horse galloped all the way, shouting as he ran: "Withdraw! …… Evacuate! The flood is coming! ”

Biqiu Jian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went out of the camp to check, but saw that the rolling flood had already hit his face.

At first it was just a few trickles, but then the flood became bigger and bigger, and the water level rose rapidly.

After a while, the flood peak arrived, and the monstrous waves rolled forward.

The large camp of the Wei army was built on a small dirt slope on the bank of the Liao River. At this moment, the flood peak quickly overflowed the small dirt slope.

The entire Wei army camp was flooded, and the relentless flood washed away all the tents in the camp, and many baggage were also washed away by the flood.

In the endless plains near the Liaohe Plain, it was difficult to find refuge in a short period of time, and many soldiers were swept away by the increasingly turbulent river, while others clung to everything they could rely on for survival, desperately trying to survive.

Some of the war horses were frightened by the flood and went crazy and scurried around, which made the entire Wei army camp even more chaotic.

In the face of the huge flood, the seemingly powerful army of 100,000 was extremely small, and it was powerless to resist this sudden disaster.

It was also under the desperate protection of his own soldiers that he was able to retreat to the high ground, otherwise he would not have escaped the fate of being swept away by the flood.

The flood has been washed away for a day and a night before it began to recede, the original Wei army camp has become unrecognizable, a large number of baggage has been washed away by the flood, and the whole camp has become muddy, full of deep silt.

Biqiu Jian cleaned up the remnants and found that more than 6,000 soldiers were missing, and Biqiu Jian was heartbroken, so he only waited to pull out the camp, retreated back, and retreated to a high place to re-encamp.

When the exhausted soldiers were starting to set up camp in the new Xiaotu Mountain, Liu Yuan led 30,000 Liaodong iron cavalry to slaughter.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry, who had been blessed by the sorcerer, were all fierce and high-spirited, and rushed towards the Wei army, which had not yet built a camp.

The Wei army saw the Liaodong iron cavalry coming, and before the two sides fought, the morale collapsed directly, and countless Wei soldiers desperately threw away their armor and fled.

No matter how much Biqiu Jian was so pressed, he could not stop the general trend of the collapse of the Wei army, and Biqiu Jian had no choice but to order to return to Beiping.

However, Gongsun Yuan led the fierce Liaodong Iron Cavalry to chase after the Wei army, and efficiently harvested the lives of the Wei soldiers along the way.

In the end, the soldiers who fled back to Beiping were less than 50,000 people, and the 100,000 troops brought by Biqiu Jian to Liaodong suffered more than half of the casualties, and they no longer dared to step into Liaodong for half a step.

The news of Biqiujian's defeat came back to Luoyang, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the entire court was in mourning.

First, Guo Huai lost nearly 20,000 soldiers in Yongzhou, and then there was a fiasco in Liaodong, with more than 50,000 soldiers, and the Great Wei lost nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time, which made Cao Rong, the emperor of the Great Wei, only feel a headache.

But fortunately, on the Yongzhou side, Wudu was defeated, and according to Cao Aya's report, Wudu organized 10,000 Shu troops, and Longxi also annihilated nearly 10,000 Shu troops, so the loss of the Shu army was almost 20,000, and the Great Wei also recovered Wudu, and at least fought back and forth with Shu.

However, Liaodong's side was a complete defeat, although Biqiu Jian was his own teacher, this time, I am afraid that he would also be troubled by the ministers.

Thinking of this, Cao Ei felt that not only did he have a headache, but even his waist rod was a little weak, it seemed that the Japanese royal number girl really hurt her body, and she was more restrained, so Cao Ei slumped backwards, supported her head with her hand for a while, looked at the princesses in the hall, and said angrily:

"Let's talk about it, now that the situation in Liaodong is in this situation, what do the Qing family think?"

The conquest general Huan Fan came out and said:

"Your Majesty, Biqiu Jian lightly advanced the enemy, resulting in the defeat of our Wei army at Gongsun Yuan, and causing my 50,000 Great Wei warriors to die in a foreign land, this is a great crime, please Your Majesty order to arrest Biqiu Jian, and punish him heavily!"

Biqiu Jian is Cao Ei's teacher, and Cao Ei naturally wants to protect Biqiu Jian, but Huan Fan's words also represent the views of many people in the court.

With such a big defeat, someone should always be pushed out to take responsibility, and now, it seems that there is no more suitable person than Biqiu Jian, who called him the leader of the army?

Cao Rong didn't pay attention to Huan Fan, but looked at Chen Qun, the minister of Gu Ming, and asked:

"Chen Aiqing, I want to hear your opinion?"

Chen Qun said with a straight face: "The minister thinks that the top priority is not to hold accountable, but to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, so as not to be beaten all the way to Beiping in Youzhou by Gongsun Yuan." ”

Cao Rong nodded, feeling that what Chen Qun said was what a minister should be.
