Chapter 18 The Beginning of the Edge Section 6 Liang Cheng was defeated
Chang Yizhi shouted angrily, he couldn't bear to continue to see his soldiers slaughtered by the Wei army, and ordered the team to divide into three teams, one team went to resist the elite cavalry of the Wei army and prevent them from continuing to slaughter the Liang army, one team guarded behind to ensure the safety of the soldiers fleeing from Liang City, and the other team led by himself and went straight to Zhongli.

When he and his soldiers came to Zhongli City, his heart suddenly became cold, and he saw that under Zhongli City, a small number of elite Wei cavalry had come to Zhongli City, and there were only thousands of guards left in Zhongli City, who were struggling to support above the city gate at this time.
Chang Yizhi suddenly found that the Wei army besieging the city was fighting against a group of Liang troops under the city at this time, and that team of Liang troops was Lu Shengzhen, the deputy general under Xiao Hong, the sixth prince, although Lu Shengzhen was a greedy person who was afraid of death, but in order to protect the prince, he and his soldiers must be desperate to guard.
Changyi gave an order, and his soldiers rushed to Zhongli City, and when Lu Shengzhen saw that the reinforcements had arrived, his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly organized the remaining Liang army to annihilate the handful of Wei troops who wanted to attack Zhongli City.
Lu Seng Zhen at this time hands and feet are a little disobedient, not because of the killing of the enemy exhausted his strength, but because he is afraid that the prince will die in his own hands, when he saw Changyizhi, his heart is both afraid and happy, this Changyi general has been guarding the border for many years, and has made great contributions to the rivers and mountains of Daliang, today's emperor Xiao Yan is very important, what he said Xiao Yan will naturally weigh and weigh, if today's six princes escaped from the battle by Changyizhi reported to the emperor, then where is the face of this prince?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly came to Chang Yizhi: "General Chang, the last general has something to say to you!"
Chang Yizhi's face was pale, he glanced at Lu Seng Zhen coldly, waved the order in his hand, and shouted to the defenders above the city gate of Zhongli: "I am Chang Yizhi, open the city gate quickly." ”
The soldiers defending the city saw that General Shichang had returned to Zhongli City, and hurriedly lowered the drawbridge, allowing the army of the Six Princes and Chang Yizhi to enter Zhongli City.
"General Chang, General Chang must listen to the last general's words. Lu Seng Zhen saw that Xiao Hong still did not get off the carriage, so he took this opportunity to whisper to Chang Yizhi.
"General Lu, now that General Cao is in Liangcheng, I don't know if he lives or dies, how can you still delay time here, if you miss the time for me to go to rescue General Cao, can you afford this big mistake?" Chang Yizhi shouted loudly.
"Ah...... This one. Lu Seng Zhen said with a sigh, "General Nachang should go and save people." ”
"Hmph! I put on a human skin in vain!" Chang Yizhi scolded hatefully, turned around and got on his horse and walked out of the city.
"You...... You...... How dare you scold me?" Lu Seng Zhen looked aggrieved and helpless, he came to Xiao Hong's carriage, and said aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, you commented on the last general, then Chang Yizhi actually dared to scold me in public, isn't this an indirect scolding of you, Lord Wang." "He will turn around and go around Xiao Hong.
"......" Xiao Hong was in the car, and he had already heard what Chang Yizhi said, but at this time, he couldn't stick out his head to refute what Chang Yizhi said, and now he abandoned Cao Jingzong's army and secretly fled to this Zhong Licheng, which is a crime to get out of battle, if you talk about military law, you can be executed on the spot, this general of Chang Yizhi did not cut off the heads of him and his deputy general on the spot, naturally because of his emperor's brother, who else can he intercede for in front of Chang Yizhi? What face did he appear in front of Chang Yizhi at this time, Chang Yizhi scolded, it was too much to save face, thinking of this, he simply pretended to be dead in this car, and he didn't make a sound to death.
Chang Yizhi led the army back to Liangcheng on the way, encountered the Wei army under Yuan Ying, the Wei army was naturally red-eyed, originally the Wei people did not like water battles, but the heavy rain for several days did not make them retreat, but in the water more and more courageous, which is also the reason why the Liang army felt frightened.
Cao Jingzong, who was in Liangcheng, received unfavorable news about the loss of the north gate and the west gate one after another, he sighed and ordered his troops to assemble and retreat to Shaoyang in the south.
When his army retreated to the south of Liangcheng, which was more than thirty miles away, in the torrential rain, a majestic fire was ignited in Liangcheng, and the fire was extremely strong, and the heavy rain did not extinguish the flames...... Liang Cheng must have been slaughtered by Yuan Ying's army, Cao Jingzong was extremely sad in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he would experience such a fiasco today.
It took him a long time to slowly open his eyes, if it weren't for Xiao Hong's escape and opening the gateway to the south of Liangcheng, Liangcheng would not have been occupied by the Wei army so quickly, with his and Changyizhi's combat strength and strategy, it is possible to hold on to Liangcheng for several months.
He has long known that this prince is a sinister and vicious person, and he is extremely narrow-minded, relying on the favor and protection of the current emperor, he has done everything that hurts heaven and reason. He has never had a head-on conflict with this prince, for these bad things he did, just as it was none of his business, hanging high, now this prince is greedy for life and afraid of death, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been slaughtered, but it is unbearable, if he follows his temper ten years ago, he will definitely behead this prince immediately in front of the army...... Now, he has experienced defeat, and he has no confidence to speak in front of the emperor, if he really kills this prince, I am afraid that the emperor will not let him have a chance to open his mouth, and his head will also fall to the ground.
Even if he has a lot of military exploits, in the eyes of the emperor today, it is not worth mentioning at all, as long as someone touches the interests of him and his family, his heart is harder than anyone else, he will only act according to his own ideas, that Shen Yue, who has helped him a lot, in recent years, sometimes relying on old friendships, often talk about Xiao Hong's evil things and listen to the emperor, that Xiao Yan did not deal with the evil sixth brother at all after hearing it, but reprimanded Shen Yue many times, too lenient, not to put him in his eyes, that Shen Yue had to swallow his anger, but the depression in his heart was nowhere to vent, thinking that Shen Yue was the person who helped Xiao Yan win the world, and ended up like this, those officials in the DPRK who have no relationship background, who dares to provoke the current emperor?
He and Changyi's army converged, the two led an army of nearly 500,000, at this time the remaining less than 200,000, Changyi's charge was too fierce, the shoulder was shot by the enemy arrow, although the injury was not serious, but his heart, is deeply hit.
"General Chang. You have to take the rest of the army to Zhongli City. Cao Jingzong thought for a long time before preaching to Changyi.
"General Cao, you handed over the army to me, where are you going?" Chang Yizhi was shocked, he knew that Cao Jingzong had lost the most defeated battle since he became the general of the border area, how could he solve it? Isn't it General Cao......
"Righteousness, don't snow today's shame, I, Cao Jingzong, will never give up! It's just that Zhongli City can't have any more mistakes, I only take thousands of personal soldiers to Shaoyang City, in Shaoyang City, I will write to the emperor, asking him to invite another Gao Ming, come to solve Zhongli's danger......" Cao Jingzong clenched his fists, and the weapon in his hand was heavily inserted into the muddy water full of blood.
"It's okay, Brother Jingzong, don't worry, my Changyi is still the same sentence before, Zhongli is in my Changyi, Zhongli is dead, I am Changyi's death. Chang Yizhi's words were so loud that he turned his horse's head and led the army back to Zhongli City. He stood on the drawbridge, looking at the corpses left everywhere under Zhongli City in front of him, and a sense of desolation surged into his heart.
