- Wang Shuang's bloody body was held high in the air by two silver spears.
Wang Shuang was half-dead, with blood overflowing from his wound like spring water. His whole body was twitching in pain, and his face was filled with endless fear.
That tragic scene deeply shocked the fragile nerves of Qin¡¯s soldiers and instantly defeated their remaining fighting spirit.
The frightened Qin army cavalry completely forgot about the battle, abandoned their helmets and fled wildly.
With their fighting spirit collapsed, how could they escape the Chu army's sword? Under the crushing attack of the surrounding soldiers, the Qin soldiers fell from their horses one by one and were trampled to pieces by the horses. Their bloody bodies melted into the blood swamp. middle.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai looked at each other and put away their silver guns at the same time.
Pillars of blood spurted out from the blood hole. Wang Shuang screamed, and his bloody body fell heavily into the bloody mud. His body twitched a few times, and he died immediately.
The two young generals of the Chu State worked together to kill the last fierce general of the Qin State.
At this time, thousands of Chu army infantry also rushed over from the river beach and joined in the massacre of the Qin army.
With nowhere to escape, the Qin army could only succumb to this tragic fate and become a drop in the sea of ??corpses everywhere.
At dusk, this tragic siege ended.
Except for a hundred or so of the 15,000 Qin army cavalry who luckily escaped with their lives, the rest were surrounded and killed in this ambush.
Looking around, the road leading north from the river beach and the ground for miles around were stained with blood.
Two young generals galloped on their horses. Still with unfinished fighting spirit, they excitedly rushed to Yan Liang to report their military exploits.
Yan Liang will not be stingy with words. He praised their achievements and promoted the two young generals to senior ranks.
"Your Majesty, these more than 10,000 cavalry have been wiped out. Cao Pi will no longer be able to attack our grain roads, wipe out Liangzhou, and overthrow Qin." Xu Shu said excitedly.
Yan Liang looked to the north, raised his whip and shouted: "Pass my decree, the whole army will turn back and march north. This time, I will pacify Liangzhou in one fell swoop."
The order was passed, and the armies on the north bank took advantage of the victory to advance towards Guzang.
On the south bank, the 40,000 to 50,000 troops that had withdrawn to the Jincheng area also recrossed the Yellow River and followed the retreat route. Advance towards the hinterland of Liangzhou again.
When the Chu army marched toward Guzang in a mighty manner, with the momentum of a great victory, a cavalry of scouts, carrying the news that Wang Shuang's army had been destroyed, went straight to Yunjie City more than a hundred miles away.
Here, Cao Pi personally led another 15,000 Qin troops. Following Wang Shuang's troops and stationed here
Cao Pi planned to follow up immediately after receiving the news of Wang Shuang's victory, gathering 30,000 troops to attack Nan'an in one fell swoop and recover the counties in Longxi.
It was afternoon, and Cao Pi was in his imperial tent. He discussed the strategy of pacifying Longxi with Yang Fu, Zhu Shuo and other ministers.
It was at this time. The scout hurried in and shouted: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"What's the matter with such a panic? What's the decency?" Cao Pi frowned and shouted displeased.
"An urgent report came from the south. Our pursuing troops were severely defeated by the Chu army. General Pingnan died in the battle, and almost all the troops of more than 10,000 soldiers were wiped out."
In an instant, there was a dead silence in the royal tent, and time seemed to have frozen. Everyone's expressions were frozen in a moment of shock.
Yang Fu, Zhu Shuo, Wu Zhi and others were all stunned, as if they were frozen.
Cao Pi's face was even more distorted than a human shape. His face was full of surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"What did you say, tell me again!" Cao Pi took a step forward and picked up the scout.
The frightened scout had no choice but to repeat the bad news again in a trembling voice.
The truth is so cruel.
Cao Pi felt as if he was in collapse, his body staggered and fell backwards, almost falling.
"Your Majesty!" Wu Zhi quickly stepped forward and supported Cao Pi.
At this time, Cao Pi's face was pale, cold sweat was pouring out, and he was breathing heavily, as if he was suffocating.
Yang Fu and others in the tent were also shocked. They never expected that Wang Shuang's entire army would be wiped out.
Yang Fu couldn't believe this was true. He grabbed the scout and shouted sternly: "How could General Pingnan be defeated? How is it possible?"
The scouts had no choice but to tremble and tremble, silently telling the story of how General Wang Shuang pursued the Yellow River, how he was ambushed by the Chu army, and how he was now killed by the Chu generals.
At this time,The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, including Cao Pi, suddenly realized this.
Cao Pi's face turned red, and his expression was full of shame and anger. He thought he could surpass his father Cao Cao, but he didn't want to fall into Yan Liang's tricks like his father.
The previous self-confidence was in sharp contrast with the cruel facts now. How could Cao Pi not be ashamed and angry?
In addition to being ashamed and angry, Cao Pi was even more frightened and helpless.
His legs weakened and he slumped down on the dragon throne. His face was full of panic, and he didn't know how to deal with the sudden change in front of him.
Thinking about it, Cao Pi only had more than 30,000 cavalry in his hands. Now that he failed in one battle, he lost half of his troops, leaving only more than 10,000 troops. How could he stop Yan Liang's army of more than 100,000 men.
Cao Pi panicked now. He had a strong premonition in his mind that he was not far from destruction.
"Wang Shuang's entire army has been wiped out, and our army only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left. With this small force, we can no longer carry out harassment tactics. I'm afraid Gu Zang can't hold it anymore." Zhu Shuo screamed, stimulating Cao Pi's fragile nerves.
Cao Pi panicked and said, "Then what should I do? What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, Wuwei County is already difficult to defend. I think it is better to abandon Guzang City and retreat to Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties in the west. Those two counties are thousands of miles away. Yan Liang may not want to because of the long distance and dangerous roads. Send troops for an expedition," Wu Zhi added.
Cao Pi's eyes immediately moved to the map and fixed on Dunhuang.
That remote county was once the westernmost county of the Han Empire and the gateway to the Western Regions.
For the barbarian people in the Western Regions, Dunhuang symbolizes prosperity and wealth, but for the Han people, Dunhuang is nothing more than a barren land. Since ancient times, except for the troops stationed on the border, only prisoners will be sent to that kind of place. dialect.
"Now, am I, the mighty Emperor of Qin, so depressed that I have to flee to that kind of place?" Cao Pi felt a hundred reluctances in his heart.
However, according to the current situation, there seems to be no better way. If we don't retreat westward to Dunhuang, why don't we still stay here and wait to be surrounded by the Chu army?
Cao Pi's face was distorted, his expression was surging, and he was caught in a difficult decision.
After a long while, Cao Pi sighed and finally opened his mouth: "As of now, I just"
"Your Majesty, Dunhuang is located in a remote place. If your Majesty retreats there, even if Yan Liang does not send troops to conquer, I am afraid that your Majesty will never be able to return to the Central Plains again in this life." Yang Fu choked with sobs and interrupted the decision Cao Pi was about to make.
Cao Pi was startled, with an embarrassed look on his face, but he sighed: "How could I not know what your beloved said, but apart from that, I really don't know what else to do."
Yang Fu pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I have another strategy here, which may be able to resolve the current crisis."
There is another plan!
Cao Pi, who had already fallen into despair, felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw for an instant when he heard Yang Fu's words, and his whole body suddenly cheered up.
"Ai Qing, do you have any other clever ideas?" Cao Pi couldn't wait to ask.
Yang Fusui took his time and told Cao Pi his so-called clever plan.
After hearing this, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise on his face, as if he suddenly saw the light of hope in the darkness.
The ministers such as Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo were also extremely surprised, and they were all excited by Yang Fu's plan.
Although Cao Pi was excited, he also wondered: "Ai Qing's plan is certainly a good one, but can it be implemented smoothly?"
"They will not be ignorant of the principle of lip death and cold teeth. Furthermore, as long as His Majesty promises enough benefits, they have no reason not to be tempted." Yang Fu was very confident.
The confidence on Cao Pi's face grew stronger, and he nodded slightly and said: "This matter requires someone who is eloquent and familiar with the local customs. I don't know who can take on this important task."
Yang Fu cupped his hands and said, "If your Majesty is a trustworthy minister, I am willing to go on your behalf."
"It would be perfect if Yang Aiqing is sent as an envoy." Cao Pi looked surprised, caressed Yang Fu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Yang Aiqing, I, the country of Great Qin, are all in your hands. Don't Like that Wang Shuang, I am disappointed."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your Majesty's trust." Yang Fu promised generously, with every confidence.
Cao Pi nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Without further delay, Yang Aiqing will set off as soon as possible."
Yang Fu immediately resigned.
Cao Pi sent Yang Fu to the outside of the tent. Seeing Yang Fu leaving, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Tie Yan, thief Yan, don't think that killing Wang Shuang will keep me away." Let¡¯s go, this time, you¡¯ll have a good taste."Try the unexpected surprise I have given you"
After Yang Fu left, Cao Pi immediately ordered the remaining 15,000 cavalry to evacuate Yunjie City immediately, hoping that Guzang City would shrink.
Cao Pi fled far away with his front foot, and Yan Liang led the army to Yun Street with his rear foot.
This time, Cao Pi lost half of his troops and horses. He was no longer able to harass the Chu army's food route, and Yan Liang's 100,000 troops could drive north unimpeded.
One day later, Yan Liang reoccupied Lingwu City, the northernmost city of Jincheng County.
In the following days, Yan Liang transported nearly one million bushels of grain and grass to Lingwu City. He planned to use Lingwu City as a frontline grain and grass gathering base.
With enough food and grass gathered in the camp, Yan Liang was ready to send troops northward in the near future, crossing hundreds of miles of no-man's land, and heading straight to Zhigu Zang City in Liangzhou Prefecture.
That day, the army was all assembled, and the 10,000 cavalry commanded by the vanguard Wen Chou had already left the city to clear the way for the following troops.
Yan Liang was fully armed, sitting on a red rabbit horse, holding a green dragon sword in his hand, and a Heavenly Sword hanging at his waist. He slowly walked out of the city gate and headed towards the north.
Within a few miles of leaving the city, a scout on horseback rushed over and presented an urgent piece of information from Xiping County to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang unfolded the information and frowned slightly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
