Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Changshan Zhao Zilong is finally willing to surrender. The perfect general will eventually be used by me, Yan Liang.

    "Haha, with Zilong helping me, why should I worry about the injustice in the world." Yan Liang laughed boldly, jumped off his horse, and helped Zhao Yun up, who was lying down.

    The officers and soldiers of Da Chu who were watching the battle saw their king surrendering Zhao Yun with his extraordinary martial arts, and they all admired Yan Liang twice as much.

    "Long live my king"

    "Long live my king"

    The admiring Dachu soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loudly to express their respect for Yan Liang.

    "Let's go, Zilong, I want to drink a thousand cups with you until I'm drunk, haha~" Yan Liang was proud of the spring breeze, got on his horse, and rode back to the formation with Zhao Yun.

    The earth-shaking mountain call resounded throughout the snowy wilderness.

    On the same day, Yan Liang held a big banquet in the army to welcome Zhao Yun who had surrendered.

    The generals of the Chu State already admired Zhao Yun's strength because of the white horse battle. Zhao Yun could fight Yan Liang for more than 500 moves without losing, and the generals admired his martial arts even more.

    During the banquet, all the generals ignored their past grievances and took turns drinking with Zhao Yun. The atmosphere was so harmonious.

    And at this reception banquet, Yan Liang even made Zhao Yun the general of Pingbei. Compared with his original official position in the Yan Kingdom, Yan Liang had been promoted to Zhao Yun by several ranks.

    Zhao Yun had never thought that Yan Liang thought so highly of him, so he was flattered and extremely grateful.

    While Yan Liang was hosting a banquet to celebrate Zhao Yun's return, Yiqi Xingzuo had quietly gone north and secretly crossed to the north bank of the Yellow River.

    A few days later, Zhao Yun sent information about Yan.  He was sent to Liyang and placed on Liu Bei's desk.

    Snapped!

    In the king's tent, Liu Bei suddenly slapped the case.  He cursed angrily: "Zhao Yun is a thief. I trust him so much in vain. He can actually betray me. It's shameless and hateful~"

    When he cursed, Liu Bei's lungs almost exploded with anger.  He tore the silk book on the case into pieces.

    At this time, Liu Bei was so angry that he had lost his mind due to Zhao Yun's treason.

    "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. I thought that because of Zilong's loyalty, even though he was surrounded by heavy siege, he would rather die in battle and sacrifice his country than do such a shameless thing as surrendering the enemy. It seems that I really value Zilong's integrity.  ." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan.  All kinds of regrets.

    Zhuge Liang fanned the flames like this, which made Liu Bei hate Zhao Yun even more. He gnashed his teeth and said: "This shameless person thought that he was not reused by Gongsun Zan, but he defected to me. Without my promotion, how could he have the reputation he has today?  This beast is ungrateful and betrays me. I really want to cut him into pieces to vent my hatred."

    Liu Bei was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, as if he wanted to kill someone.

    The civil and military officials on the left and right, such as Zhuge Liang, all agreed with Liu Bei and denounced Zhao Yun.

    After cursing for a long time, Liu Bei sat down and panted, and his anger eased slightly.

    At this time, Zhuge Liang advised: "For a shameless traitor, the king is not worthy of being so angry. Be careful that your anger will damage your body."

    "The military advisor is right. Yan Liang surrendered Zhao Yun just to anger me. How could I be fooled by him?" Liu Bei comforted himself and soon put down his anger.

    Seeing that Liu Bei's mood had softened, Zhuge Liang said: "Zhao Yun, the traitor, will be killed sooner or later. Sooner or later, the lost territory in the Central Plains will be recovered by the king. However, Liang believes that our first priority right now is to redeploy troops and horses.  Build a new defense line at the camp on the north bank of the Yellow River to prevent Yan Liang from invading in the spring of next year."

    Zhuge Liang's calm analysis immediately reminded Liu Bei and shifted his attention to the current situation.

    Now that winter has arrived, the Yellow River will freeze soon. This time is not conducive to the Chu navy's operations. Yan Liang will definitely not invade Hebei at this time.

    Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Bei¡¯s first priority was, of course, to build the north shore defense line and prepare for future defense.

    "Yan Thief, if you want the Central Plains, I will give it to you. Now that the Yellow River is in front of you, I will see how you can be so crazy." Liu Bei snorted coldly, and a few words gradually passed over his gray face.  Very confident.

    ¡­¡­

    When Liu Bei hurriedly recruited civilians, mobilized troops, and built a defense line on the north bank with Liyang as the center, Yan Liang had already led the army back to Luoyang.

    It was freezing cold at this time, and without the support of the navy, Yan Liang certainly would not have crossed the river without permission to take advantage of the Hebei plains where Liu Bei's cavalry was galloping. On this point, Zhuge Liang's judgment was correct.

    Although Liu Bei, who lost the Central Plains, can temporarily take a breather,The tone was tight, but Cao Cao in Guanzhong quickly became nervous again.

    Because not long after Yan Liang returned to Luoyang, he began to gather troops on the Tongguan front line. It was obvious that a large-scale war to attack Guanzhong would be launched.

    According to intelligence, since the beginning of autumn, the water potential of the Wei River has gradually receded, and the flooded area in the Wei River Plain has decreased sharply.

    Since the beginning of winter, as the weather has become colder, large areas including the Weishui River have entered the freezing period.

    This means that the Wei River Plain, which was once flooded, is now flat, and nothing can stop Yan Liang's western expedition.

    After confirming the reliability of the intelligence, Yan Liang, who had spent ten days in Luoyang, set foot on the road west to Tongguan on this cold winter day.

    This time, Yan Liang did not intend to give Cao Cao another chance. In addition to staying on the front line of Puyang to prevent Liu Bei's troops from Hebei, Yan Liang mobilized nearly 200,000 troops for the battle to destroy Cao Cao.

    Among them, the Northern Army Corps will be led by Wen Chou and Xu Shu with 50,000 troops, marching from Xijin Yellow River in Hedong County to Pubanjin to Guanzhong.

    On the southern front, Yan Liang ordered Wenpin to lead 20,000 troops and march from Wuguan to Guanzhong.

    As for Yizhou, Yan Liang ordered Lu Xun to lead 20,000 Sichuan troops and continue to march into Longxi to contain Cao Cao's troops.

    At the same time, Zhang Ren and Fazheng were ordered to lead 30,000 Sichuan troops from Shangyong via Nanyang to the Tongguan line to join the main force led by Yan Liang.

    Now that the Central Plains was under control, there were still many things to deal with in the rear, so Yan Liang decided to leave Pang Tong to guard Luoyang and take care of his affairs.

    Without Pang Tong¡¯s advice and Jia Xu¡¯s words alone, it seemed that the group of advisers was somewhat insufficient, so Yan Liang immediately thought of Fa Zheng.

    Fazheng was originally from Fufeng in Guanzhong, and he was more familiar with the geography and people of Guanzhong than Jia Xu, a native of Xiliang. Yan Liang needed a local counselor like Fazheng to make suggestions for him in his current attack.

    The armies had been assembled. On that day, Yan Liang personally led one hundred thousand middle route troops out of Tongguan and rushed towards Cao Jun's Luokou Fortress.

    At this time, Cao Cao had already led 40,000 Cao troops and garrisoned Luokou Fortress.

    Once Tongguan was lost, Luokou became Cao Cao's first line of defense to defend Chang'an. During the few months after Yan Liang retreated, Cao Cao mobilized a large number of people to build Luokou City day and night, and finally built a solid fortress.

    Cao Cao thought that by relying on the strong city of Luokou to hold back the Chu army, and using the mobility of the Xiliang cavalry to attack the Chu army's food routes, he would be able to hold on until the Chu army became demoralized and had to retreat.

    Just as Cao Cao expected, when Yan Liang's army of more than 100,000 troops reached the Luokou line, they seemed to be frightened by Cao Jun's solid defense line. The army of more than 100,000 troops set up camp and did not launch an attack for several days.

    It¡¯s that day, the wind is blowing coldly.

    Cao Cao stood at the top of Luokou City, scanning his towering city walls and the several fortresses that formed an angle with Luokou City. His scorched face showed a look of peace of mind.

    "It's enough for the Yan thief to roam the Central Plains. This time, the truth will make him fall under the fortified city of the truth." Cao Cao stroked his beard with confidence on his face.

    At this time, after half a year of recuperation, Cao Cao seemed to have regained his confidence from the previous defeats and regained the confident and heroic posture of the year.

    "The Yan thief has many tricks, and the Prime Minister should not underestimate him, cough cough~" Guo Jia continued to cough while trying to persuade him. His thin body and pale face seemed to be sick.

    "Fengxiao, how is your health?" Cao Cao asked with concern.

    "It's an old problem, Prime Minister, there's no need to worry." Guo Jia forced a smile and tried to appear as if nothing had happened.

    At this time, Liu Ye hurried up to the city, raised his hands and said: "Prime Minister, Tongguan has sent detailed information. Yan Liang has mobilized more than 300 city-breaking cannons from Luoyang. Now he has passed Tongguan and is heading towards Luokou.  Come."

    City-breaking cannon!

    Hearing these three words, the expressions of Cao Cao and Guo Jia changed slightly.

    Most of Cao Cao's confident look disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    Guo Jia frowned and said, "What I was worried about has come to pass. The Yan thief had been stationary for many days, but he indeed sent in the city-breaking artillery."

    Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials present had a look of panic on their faces.

    The bad news that Yan Liang destroyed Luoyang City with 300 city-breaking cannons still makes Cao Cao and his civil and military personnel still fearful.

    How strong Luoyang City is, Cao Cao is of course very jealous. Luokou City is far less strong than Luoyang, so how can it withstand the bombardment of Yan Liang's city-breaking artillery.

    "It would be really difficult for the Yan thieves to destroy the city and bombard it with cannons." Cao ???Brows were furrowed, and he fell into worry.

    There was silence around the city, and everyone was worried.

    In the midst of worry, Guo Jia suddenly had a hint of secrecy at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Jia has thought of a plan to make it useless for Yan Thief's cannon to destroy the city."

    "What's the clever idea of ??being a filial piety?" Cao Cao was excited and asked hurriedly.

    Guo Jiasui took his time and explained his plan.

    After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look surprised and said excitedly: "Fengxiao's ability to adapt to changing circumstances is indeed unparalleled in the world. This is really wonderful, and it will definitely frustrate the spirit of that thief."

    Guo Jia looked a little proud and smiled without saying a word.

    Cao Cao immediately regained his confidence and immediately sent an order, ordering the generals to follow Guo Jia's plan.

    Looking at the enemy camp from a distance again, Cao Cao sneered: "Tie Yan, you want to repeat your old tricks and use strange and cunning weapons to break my Luokou. You are really self-righteous. This time, the truth will be revealed by your methods."  What a look of panic after defeat, haha~~" (To be continued)
