Chapter 635: Xiahou Gloomy Zhu Ling appeared
Ma Chao's voice was sonorous and powerful, deafening.
And although due to the obstruction of the doorway, the Wei army on the city wall could not see the tragic situation of Xu Chu's body being hung on the city gate.
But when Xu Chu's body was dragged all the way by Ma Chao, the Wei army in the city could see it clearly.
Xu Chu is sturdy and can be compared with a strong ox.
At that time, Xu Chu made the feat of dragging the ox with one hand, which caused the thieves besieging his hometown to be shocked, and it became a good talk for a while.
Originally, the Wei army thought that Xu Chu was a rare strong man in the world, but what they didn't expect was that Ma Chao was even more unique.
Ma Chao did not drag the cow in public, when he dragged Xu Chu, whose body was like a strong ox, all the way to the city gate, and nailed his body tightly to the heavy city gate.
Although Ma Chao was able to accomplish this feat, many of them with the help of horsepower, it can also be seen how much strength Ma Chao himself should have!
In addition to worshipping Hercules, people in the world often have reverence.
Today, Ma Chao showed too many things that ordinary people could not do, which made the fear in the hearts of the Wei army on the city wall for Ma Chao have accumulated to an unstoppable level.
No wonder during the Battle of Weinan that year, the first emperor had so many famous generals, but he also faced the risk of being chased and killed by Ma Chao several times.
It's not that many famous generals were useless back then, but the horses are more than brave!
As the fear of Ma Chao continued to accumulate in his heart, after a long time, no Wei army on the city wall dared to respond to Ma Chao's shout.
Ma Chao is down there now, and with the bravery that Ma Chao showed today, who would dare to go down to collect Xu Chu's body?
Don't say that Xu Chu's body is hanging above the city gate today, that is, Cao Pi's body is hanging there by Ma Chao, I'm afraid that except for the Cao clan, no Wei army will dare to go down to collect the body.
And if he didn't dare to collect the corpse, then the second sentence shouted by Ma Chao made the Wei army on the city wall how to deal with it?
After Xu Chu died in battle, don't say that inside and outside Tongguan at the moment, even in the territory of Great Wei at the moment, who can resist Ma Chao's bravery?
Ma Chao is brave and brave, he also brought a large number of Han troops to Tongguan this time.
The Han army has not only unborn fierce generals such as Ma Chao, but also tens of thousands of well-trained elite soldiers, can they resist the offensive of the Han army with thousands of people in Tongguan?
When this question, as Ma Chao's shouting appeared in the hearts of all Wei Jun, different thoughts began to appear in the hearts of all Wei Jun.
Of course, not all Wei troops will be undetermined because of the courage shown by Ma Chao.
For example, Xiahou Ba was a person who was very loyal to the Great Wei.
His background determined that he would not be able to rebel against Great Wei - unless Great Wei's power was replaced by someone with a different surname.
It's just that although Ma Chao's shouting can't shake Xiahouba's determination to defend Tongguan, Xiahouba is not an unwise person, he knows that he will not be shaken, and it does not mean that others will not.
Xiahou Ba's eagle-like eyes kept scanning everyone around him.
Every Wei Jun who was scanned by him had a dodge in his eyes.
After seeing this scene, Xiahou Ba knew that Ma Chao's shouting or provocation had shaken the morale of the army in the city to a large extent.
After realizing this, Xiahou was so angry that the defenders in the city shot arrows downward.
I don't know if this can hurt Ma Chao.
But if you don't do anything and let Ma Chao call arrogantly under the city, the morale of the army in the city will collapse in a few days.
No one will want to fight a war with no hope.
Under the continuous urging of Xiahou Ba, the Wei army finally began to lie on the wall and shoot arrows downward.
But seeing that they are weak, what damage can they do to Ma Chao?
The scattered arrows on the city wall caused Ma Chao to laugh loudly.
Outside Tongguan that year, he was defeated by Cao Cao and became a lost dog.
Although that defeat was mostly due to his inwit being inferior to Cao Cao, at that time the Wei army
The combat effectiveness is still recognized by Ma Chao.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that a generation had not yet passed, and now it was also inside and outside Tongguan City, and the combat effectiveness of the Wei army was so collapsed.
After laughing, Ma Chao rushed out of the doorway.
Even if it was the Wei army with his back to the city wall, but with his superb riding skills and the Wei army's unintentional fighting, Ma Chao finally returned to the camp of the Han army safely.
Ma Chao's safe return undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Wei army on the city wall.
Xiahou Ba was even more angry and about to jump to his feet.
After realizing that the military spirit of the Wei army in Tongguan had been successfully hit by himself, Ma Chao ordered Jiang Wei beside him:
"The whole army is encamped.
When the rear army arrives, immediately launch a fierce attack on Tongguan!"
Ma Chao's general order passed through Jiang Wei's mouth and quickly spread throughout the army.
And after hearing Ma Chao's general order, unlike the Wei army, which had low morale, the Han army, which had high morale, let out bursts of cheers again and again.
For a war with great hope of victory, there is not a single soldier who does not want to fight.
The morale of the Han army was noticed by Xiahou Ba on the city wall, and at this moment, even he suddenly lost the anger to jump to his feet.
He must guard Tongguan.
But with the current situation, can Tongguan really hold on?
Xiahou Ba, who thought of this, finally walked towards the city with a sad face.
And looking at the back of Xiahou Ba's departure, the eyes of some Wei generals on the city wall communicated invisibly.
...
In the middle of the night, as the movement of the Han army camping outside the city gradually stopped, under the eye contact during the day, several Wei generals couldn't help but gather together.
The Wei general headed by him was named Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling was one of the generals who followed Cao Cao in his early years, and because of his profound qualifications and Zhu Ling's many military exploits, Cao Pi awarded Zhu Linghou the official position of general after becoming emperor.
When Cao Zhen went south last year, Zhu Ling, as a general, accompanied Cao Zhen to the south.
It's just that Zhu Lingyin was once Yuan Shao's general, so he never really trusted the rulers of Cao Wei.
Therefore, during the battle of the Southern Expedition, Zhu Ling was not active much.
During the entire battle of the Southern Expedition, Zhu Ling was only responsible for one task, that is, to lead the army to guard the embankment built by the Wei army in the Han River.
This was originally an easy task that did not get much credit, and it was very much in line with Zhu Ling's unpopular situation.
It's just that what Zhu Ling didn't expect was that the heaven-killing Han army would suddenly appear outside the Han River and defeat him.
And his defeat directly led to the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops being flooded.
Therefore, despite the heinous disaster, he was fortunate enough to escape back to Chang'an.
But Cao Zhen, who was furious afterwards, still demoted Zhu Ling from a general to a military Sima at once
At that time, if it weren't for the intercession of some veterans, it would have been possible for Zhu Ling to be directly beheaded by Cao Zhen.
But even if he picked up a life, but from a heavy general to a military horse, this huge gap in identity still often makes Zhu Ling secretly indignant.
Not to mention that long before this incident, Zhu Ling was dissatisfied with Cao Wei - during the Jian'an period, Cao Cao had sent Yu Ban to seize his military power for no reason.
In the past, when Cao Wei was strong, Zhu Ling did not dare to hold grudges against this past.
But now that Cao Wei's society is in a state of decline, then Zhu Ling, who is already restless, will inevitably combine the two injustices he has suffered into one, and let the resentment in his heart reach its peak.
And the strong resentment that originally existed in his heart, after witnessing everything that happened outside Tongguan City today, finally catalyzed one of Zhu Ling's thoughts:
Since Cao Wei is getting worse and worse, why doesn't he choose a good bird to perch on again?
Zhu Ling was originally Yuan Shao's general, but later Zhu Ling saw that Cao Cao was a person who had achieved great things, so he decisively abandoned his old master Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao.
So for Zhu Ling, it is really normal for him to have this idea.
And Zhu Ling was
For the sake of glory and wealth, he once sat back and watched his family being brutally killed by Gongsun Zhan.
For such a person, once he has a rebellious heart in his heart, ten cows can't pull it back.
Tonight, Zhu Ling summoned either his old department, or the generals who had long been dissatisfied with Cao Wei in his heart.
For these people, tonight's secret meeting shines with the brilliance of like-mindedness.
Of course, people want to face trees and bark, and rebellion is indecent after all, and it can't be too direct at first.
Looking at the several Wei generals sitting in front of him, Zhu Ling first sighed heavily and said:
"Watching Ma Chao's actions today, it seems to have the courage of an overlord.
And Guanxia Houba is a person, how can there be the wonder of Han Xin?
In this way, Tongguan is in danger."
Zhu Ling first used an obvious contrast to highlight the gap between Ma Chao and Xiahou Ba.
Zhu Ling's contrast is effective.
As soon as his words fell, several Wei generals in front of him also sighed in unison with him.
"If Tongguan is not protected, it is small for us to die, what should the people in the city do!"
After sighing again and again, one of Zhu Ling's old subordinates opened his mouth and said a high-sounding sentence.
It was this high-sounding sentence that seemed to have touched Zhu Ling's heart, and he slapped the table and said angrily:
"Today, Xiahou Ba didn't save Huhou when he saw death, which really chilled the hearts of the soldiers in the city.
I don't think he's a roe deer, not like a man who fights to the death, maybe he's like Cao Hong now, plotting how to abandon the city and escape."
Zhu Ling's words caused several Wei soldiers in the tent to sigh.
It doesn't matter if what Zhu Ling said is true or not, in the current situation, it must be true.
"If so, what can we do?"
One of the Wei generals sighed and said.
After hearing these words and realizing that the atmosphere had been set in place, Zhu Ling couldn't help but lower his voice and said:
"For the sake of the people, but also for us, if we don't dedicate Tongguan to Ma Chao.
That's a big success.
The Han family has always rewarded those who have made meritorious contributions.
Like Na Su Ze and Yang Huan, isn't it just that they surrendered to Cheng early, and now they have more generous rewards?"
In order to stir people's hearts, Zhu Ling directly put forward the examples of Su Ze and Yang Huan.
Su Ze and Yang Huan were both courtiers of Great Wei not long ago.
After hearing these two examples, the faces of several Wei generals already had a look of interest.
But there was still a Wei general who asked hesitantly, "Even if Ma Chao is willing to accept us, I heard that Mi Yang has a bad sense for us and other people in the army!"
This Wei general was subconsciously hesitating, but as soon as he said this, Zhu Ling suddenly blew his nose and glared:
"What.....
That's the Great General.
How can we call the name of a great general?"
Zhu Ling's tone was full of righteous indignation for Mi Yang to defend his authority!
