Chapter 267: Sima Poison Plans to Kill Liu Chan!
Henan Yin.
More than 20 miles outside the Tang Dynasty, there was a camp where the rebel army was stationed.
Since a Wei army started from Hangu Pass, Lianpo Valley City and Henan City, one took the lead in crossing the river and came towards Tang Jucheng, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang City.
The other ones are heading towards Dagu Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Revolving Gate Pass respectively, intending to capture the eight passes of Luoyang and make Luoyang a turtle in the urn.
Of course
The rest of the troops, which were a small number of troops, intended to incite rebellion in other places in order to gain momentum.
The real main force is in the camp more than 20 miles away from today's Tang Ju City.
Late at night.
The darkness of the night enveloped everything, with only sporadic bonfires lighting up a few corners.
The campfire casts a flickering glow, outlining a blurred shadow.
A few dilapidated tents swayed in the breeze and made a creaking sound.
In the camp of the rebels, the soldiers were exhausted, some sitting on the ground, some lying next to tents, talking loudly and noisily.
Some drank to relieve fatigue, while others rolled up their sleeves and began to throw dice.
"Wait for Ming'er to conquer Tang Jucheng and find a few white and tender nobles to play!"
"What is a noble girl? I heard that the children of the Nashi clan can prolong their lives by eating a bite of his child's meat, and I tasted a piece of meat today, hey! You know what? It's delicious! ”
"Big big! Ah! How is it small? ”
"Tang Jucheng is just a small place, if you can capture Luoyang City, you and I will be the masters, grab ten or eight noble girls, warm up the bed, and eat whoever is not pleasing to the eye!"
The shirtless rebels in the camp are full of bestiality in their eyes, and they only look like people now.
On his side, there were many bones, which were not like the bones of animals, but like people.
Since the attack on Henan City, I don't know who said that children's meat is delicious, and girls' meat is even more delicious.
For a while, it became a fashion in the midst of the chaotic army.
The results are predictable.
Obviously, there is grain and grass, but he wants to taste it and becomes an ogre.
The horses gnibbled on the rough grass around the tent, making a low neighing sound.
The middle-level generals of the Wei army, who came out of Hangu Pass, walked around the camp one after another, trying to maintain some order.
Their faces were full of exhaustion, their brows furrowed, and they visibly felt a headache.
Under the influence of those rangers and rebels, some soldiers in the Wei army were also tainted with many vices.
Quite a few people even joined in, drinking and eating meat all day long, looking drunk, shouting loudly, completely forgetting military discipline.
Around the campfire, a group of soldiers were eating a freshly slaughtered 'wild boar'.
They cut the 'wild boar' into pieces and then skewered them on spears and roasted them.
The firelight illuminated their faces, making them look hideous and wild.
The camp was filled with a peculiar smell.
The smell of blood, the aroma of barbecue, and the smell of alcohol are intertwined, but it gives people a sense of weirdness and absurdity.
In the middle of the night, the rebel camp is filled with disorder and chaos, as if it were an out-of-control behemoth that could not be tamed.
From time to time there were bursts of wine and laughter, accompanied by the neighing and snoring of the horses.
The soldiers of the rebellion were either shaking the wine jar, or sitting around the bonfire, talking and laughing, as if Luoyang City was already in their pockets.
At this time.
Xiahou Nan led the elite cavalry to quietly approach the camp of the rebel army outside the city.
Under the cover of night, the moonlight faintly sprinkled on the ground through the clouds, forming mottled spots of light, adding a sense of mystery to the night attack.
In the camp of the rebel army, the enemy's horses neighed and tapped their hooves restlessly.
There are bonfires swaying in the night wind, casting flickering light and shadow.
Xiahou Nan was wearing black iron armor, with a sturdy figure, and he walked forward like a shadow.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring intently at the chaotic army camp ahead.
The elite riders followed closely behind, skilful riding and light steps.
Sure enough, it's a rabble.
Xiahou Nan thought in his heart.
The huge military camp, where it is stationed, you can know the level of its leading generals.
When camping, they generally choose to be stationed in a sunny and high place, and to avoid damp and low-lying places, they must be well ventilated, so as to avoid the spread of diseases in the camp.
In Xiahou Nan's view, if the slope of the mountain has two sides, try to choose the high place in the south, because this kind of land is sunny and the sun shines sufficiently.
There must be a water source next to it, otherwise you will be trapped by the enemy and you will not be able to drink water.
Nor can they rely on stagnant water to prevent soldiers from drinking and getting sick.
You can't camp in the grass either, because it's too convenient for the enemy to sneak up on you.
If you camp by water, you should try to occupy the upper echelons, let alone camp in the valley to prevent the enemy from flooding yourself.
The most suitable part of the terrain for camping
It is necessary to choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can accommodate the strength of the troops, and has a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, there is a piece of high ground with a water source next to it.
Plains and depressions can be swept away by enemy raids - the garrison must have time to defend for fear of being attacked first.
However, this chaotic army is stationed in a depression, and there is a backwater pool in the middle.
If it rains heavily, no one will be needed to attack it, and the camp will be flooded.
And outside this camp, there is no sentry, he led the army to touch the approach, and the camp has not reacted!
Mud legs are mud legs!
Even if something happens, it's hard to get things done.
However, since you are so unprofessional, then don't blame me for doing it.
The cavalry led by Xiahou Nan got closer and closer to the enemy camp, and when he was only a hundred meters away from the camp of the rebel army, Xiahou Mao suddenly raised his arm and let out a whistle that was almost inaudible.
Coo~
This is a code, and the elite riders stopped their hooves in an instant, as quiet as a mountain forest.
The night breeze blew, leaving only silence.
Quack quack~
A terrible cry of a crow suddenly rose!
This is Xiahou Nan who gave the order to attack.
With the order, the elite cavalry rushed to the enemy camp like arrows from the string.
Their spears, knives and spears flickered in the night, piercing the walls of the so-called camp in an instant.
In fact, there is no walled wall at all.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Damn Gabazi, I'm afraid of a bird, everyone rush with me!"
The enemy troops were frightened by the sudden attack of the night attack and fled in all directions, and some wanted to stop it and fight against the elite forbidden army of Xiahou Nan.
But compared with the forbidden army armed to the teeth, the armor rate of these rebel armies is very touching, where is the opponent?
It's basically a one-touch collapse.
The serious Wei army in the center of the camp immediately abandoned the camp and fled.
These rabble with the army did not have combat effectiveness, but they were numerous, but they were blocked in the center, giving those Wei troops who came out of Hangu Pass all the way a chance to escape.
"Give me chase!"
Killing those rebels all the way is like a massacre.
In the middle of the night, the panicked rebel army was attacked by thousands of elite horsemen, and they were directly disorganized.
In the chaos, everyone is running, and a rout is formed.
In this general trend of rout, if you want to swim against the current, you will be trampled into a cake by this fleeing rebel army.
Xiahou Nan's cavalry was in hot pursuit, swords and spears fell, and blood splattered.
The enemy campfire was trampled on, leaving only darkness.
"Search for the armored sergeant, find him and kill him!"
Xiahou Nan's voice echoed in the night sky, ordering his soldiers to search and kill in the camp of the rebel army.
The screams, cries for help, and cries of the enemy are intertwined to form a terrifying picture.
While commanding the army, Xiahou Mao carefully observed the movements of the enemy army.
He knew that this night attack was the beginning of a victory, but the results of tonight were not significant when he killed some homeless people.
If you can keep the old department of Cao Zhang, who came out of Hangu Pass, it will be a real victory.
But as Dongfang gradually spit out the white of the fish's belly, the possibility of this big victory has become more and more slim with the passage of time.
Ay~
Xiahou Nan looked frustrated.
I thought that I would lead the army out and be able to quell the Luoyang Rebellion in one battle, but I don't want to, this hero, but he can't be it.
Damn it!
Still doesn't work?
Xiahou Nan clenched his fists and finally had to accept this result.
"Back to Luoyang, there are a large number of rebel troops, and with the advantage of cavalry, it is difficult to settle the situation in a battle, but in today's battle, the rebel army has suffered heavy losses, and it may be possible to buy Luoyang a month."
Although no substantial results have been achieved, it does not prevent Xiahou Nan from blowing!
The merits on the battlefield can sometimes be blown out without fighting, but with your mouth, isn't that also a military merit?
Outside the city of Kuiyang.
King Wei camps.
In the big tent of the Chinese army.
Cao Pi sat on the main seat, his face was expressionless at the moment, and in front of everyone, he had already returned to his original appearance of not being surprised.
It seems that Pingyu City was captured by Liu Chan, which is just a trivial matter, and it is not worth worrying about at all.
It seems to be infected by the calm expression of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, and now in the main account of the Chinese army, Jia Xu closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, Chen Qun's old gods are always there, and Wu Zhen is as immobile as a mountain.
In the column of military generals, the general Cao Ren's face was calm, Cao Hong's fighting spirit was high, and Guo Huai's face was dull, as if he was wandering into the world.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, the only one who can't give up is Cao Xiu, the tiger and leopard cavalry captain who stands under the tent and is in the middle of the queue of Wenchen generals.
Sima Yi, who entered the military tent with him, actually looked calm.
"Your Majesty, meet the king, the king for a thousand years!"
Sima Yi solemnly knelt on the ground and saluted Cao Pi.
Cao Xiu lay on the ground early, his butt pouting very high.
"Sin general Cao Xiu, meet the king, the king for a thousand years!"
Sima Yi and Cao Xiu, one is calm, the other is panicked.
But in fact, this situation should be the other way around.
Cao Xiu was a clan relative after all, and even if he lost the battle, it was impossible for Cao Pi to really execute him.
At most, he will first dismiss his official position, rest for a while, and then find an excuse to reactivate it.
Cao Ren has been defeated several times, and he is still the general of Cao Wei, from this point of view, it is very clear.
On the contrary, it was Sima Yi, the strategist, who proposed the strategy of attacking Liu Chan first, and personally led the troops to come, but he lost his praise and let the peace and public opinion be taken by the Han army.
His sins are much greater than Cao Xiu's.
And it's not a clan relative.
It stands to reason that he should be terrified now.
After Sima Yi knelt on the ground, Wu Zhen's original immobility seemed to be a little shaken.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
This Sima Zhongda is quite favored by the king, if he is overthrown at this moment, then the king will only have to rely on me alone in the future?
As soon as the idea came out, Wu Zhen's footsteps came out.
At this moment, he was holding a wat board, his face was calm, but his tone was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"The king, this Sima Zhongda offered such a strategy, causing the king to lose his troops and generals, and also losing the city one after another, which damaged the face of the Wei State. The problems of Xuzhou and Jiangdong have not been completely solved now, all because of Zhongda, the matter has come to this point, and I also ask the king to give an order to deal with Sima Zhongda, with the correct military law, to calm the army's heart! ”
Hearing this, Cao Pi frowned, and his eyes showed a look of thought.
Seeing that the fire was not enough, Wu Zhen continued on the side: "Originally, the king could first pacify Jiangdong, then Xuzhou, and finally deal with the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei. Now the king has to appease the rebellious Zang Ba, and swallow the revenge of Jiangdong's sneak attack on Hefei, all thanks to Zhongda! ”
The more he listened, the more angry Cao Pi became.
Wu Zhen's words made him very faceless.
Syllable!
His hand slapped heavily on the case in front of him, his face was very gloomy, and his eyes were full of murder.
"Zhongda, what do you have to say?"
At this time, Sima Yi raised his head, and even with such a scene, his face was still calm.
"Runan fell into such a situation, it is indeed the fault of his subordinates!"
Sima Yi directly pleaded guilty.
"King, punish it directly!"
Seeing Sima Yi so cooperative, Wu Zhen was also a good person.
"Send Sima Yi back to his hometown in Wen County, and after he forgives his sins, it's not too late to start again!"
He just wanted Cao Pi to be the only favor, not really wanted Sima Yi's life.
"The King."
As soon as Wu Zhen finished speaking, Sima Yi also began to say what he said.
"Although His Majesty is guilty, the crime is that the main force of our army has not arrived in Runan, and the crime is that the prince Liu Gonghei and Zhuge Kongming of Hanzhong are too cunning."
Hum!
Wu Zhen snorted coldly in his heart, and said in a strange manner: "Then according to Zhongda's words, you have no sin at all?" ”
Sima Yi didn't even look at Wu Qian, but stared at Cao Pi with straight eyes.
"It is indeed a crime to lose the praise and the loss of peace, but the many battles between the subordinates and the Han army in Runan are also to find out the details. What is the gain of losing a war? Jingzhou is short of grain and grass, its military strength in Runan, but only 40,000 people, the king may be able to fight the world this time, the front of the army directly drive to the new breath, take advantage of the enemy's surprise, take the head of the crown prince of Hanzhong! ”
"Hahaha~"
Wu Zhen laughed loudly and said: "King, this is just Sima Zhongda's exoneration words, Pingyu is occupied, our army is short of food and grass, An Neng is willing to seek the near and far, not to attack Pingyu, but to attack Xinxi?" ”
Sima Yi's eyes were still firm.
"Liu Chan's attack on Pingyu is all in his expectation, the main force of our army is here, and it is also within its calculation, if our army really attacks Pingyu, not to mention whether it can be captured in a short time, even if it is captured, I am afraid that it will be the plan of the heir of Liu Gong."
"If you attack the public opinion alone, then what is the plan of Liu Gonghei?"
Cao Pi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"There are less than 10,000 soldiers in Pingyu City, but Zhao Yun has less than 10,000 soldiers, how can he stop my 200,000 army? In order to solve the danger of peace, Liu Chan will definitely send out the main Han army to attack and harass our army, so that our army can not make all efforts to attack the city, and even use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and the Han army will be dispatched, and the new breath must be empty, this is the best opportunity for us to kill Liu Chan! ”
Han China with Liu Chan is completely different from Han China without Liu Chan.
Sima Yi stared at Cao Pi deadly, and Cao Pi also looked at Sima Yi with a slightly crazy look in his calm and calm eyes.
Let's be honest.
His heart was moved.
His wife was robbed, and he had been wearing a green hat on his head for several months, and he had long wanted to take it off.
Compared with winning Pingyu, going directly to take revenge makes Cao Pi even more tempted!
