Chapter 404 Wei Yan regretted fighting before Deng Ai's camp
The Chu army was already frightened and suddenly encountered a front and back attack again. How could they stand it? They were in chaos in an instant.
Wei Yan was shocked and shocked, and without hesitation, he gave up his entire army and led only a few dozen or twenty Chu soldiers with war horses to escape.
Jiang Wei chased after him and wanted to kill Wei Yan's head, but was hindered by the chaotic Chu army. Seeing that Wei Yan fled farther and farther, it was no longer easy to chase him, but it was possible to let more Chu soldiers go away.
Jiang Wei then gave up chasing Wei Yan and focused on encircling and annihilation of thousands of Chu soldiers who were abandoned by Wei Yan.
In the end, Wei Yan's troops, except for a few dozen others including Wei Yan, who escaped, the rest were beheaded about 2,000 people by the Han army, and the remaining 3,000 were captured, which could be said to have been wiped out.
At this point, in the battle of He County, the Han army annihilated 10,000 elite Chu army soldiers, and killed the Chu army general Chen Dao, and won a great victory!
...
Wei Yan fled from He County, and at this time he seemed both embarrassed and depressed.
The army was defeated so miserably. What Wei Yan couldn't accept the most was that he was defeated by a young young general who had just emerged from the Qin army. He couldn't help but lose and fled in just a few dozen rounds. It was too embarrassing to destroy his reputation.
Wei Yan has been thinking about why this happened, is he wrong?
Maybe he was really wrong. He was really too arrogant and arrogant during this period. He was not the peak period more than ten years ago, and today he was not the chaotic world more than ten years ago.
He has no qualifications to be arrogant at all.
I remember that he once said he had repeatedly rudely captured Jiaozhou, and then went north and quickly captured Jingzhou and Yangzhou in Jiangdong. Now I think about it, it's really a shame. It's not just arrogance, but also ignorance!
The 'traitor' Liu Yu now owns the thirteen states in the world. Since then, he has followed him to conquer the world with countless elite soldiers and generals, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Pang De, Zhang He..., which one is not famous.
In this battle in Jiaozhou, Liu Yu only sent his eldest son Liu Rui, and the generals who led the troops were Zhou Cang, Wang Ping, Xu Sheng, and Jiang Wei and Deng Ai. Two young "young generals" in their early twenties, did not even have any of the mighty generals back then.
And it was this camp, plus 110,000 to 10,000 "Qin soldiers", that blocked them in Cangwu County, giving them great pressure that they were not easy to defeat.
Now that Deng Ai has killed Chen Dao, he has also been defeated by Jiang Wei, and has lost 10,000 elite soldiers together. What a big blow.
Wei Yan couldn't even beat Jiang Wei, who was just a fledgling man, and he dared to think of the famous veterans of the "Qin Army" such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao. He was really not qualified.
Wei Yan returned to the Chu army camp in Cangwu County. The moment before he returned, Zhuge Liang knew that He County had been defeated and Chen Dao was beheaded, and 10,000 elite soldiers could be called the end of the army. Stimulated by this, Zhuge Liang staggered two steps without standing firmly.
Deng Zhi, Liao Hua and other generals around him were shocked and rushed forward to support Zhuge Liang.
With the help of everyone, Zhuge Liang's face turned pale and sad. There were only four words in his mind, "The general trend is gone"!
"Prime Minister, Wei Yan is back." Zhuge Liang was informed that a soldier had entered the tent, Lieutenant General Wei Yan returned to the military camp.
Zhuge Liang was completely unwilling to pay attention, and he sighed powerlessly.
At this time, Wei Yan also walked into the tent and saw him bowing to Zhuge Liang in front of him.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Yan did not apologize for the defeat first, but repent for the previous incident: "Prime Minister, I was arrogant a few days ago and repeatedly rude to the Prime Minister and questioned the Prime Minister. Now I know my mistakes and only regretted them to the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang paused for a long time before asking, "Do you really know your mistake?"
Wei Yan bowed and said, "I have indeed known my mistake. I beg the Prime Minister to punish me."
Zhuge Liang said, "Since this is the case, I will punish you for fifty military sticks. Can you convince me?"
Wei Yan responded without hesitation: "I am convinced!" Looking at this attitude, I really knew my mistake and sincerely regretted it. I had no complaints about Zhuge Liang's punishment for his fifty military sticks.
As soon as a soldier came in, he wanted to drag Wei Yan out to execute military sticks. Ma Su, Liao Hua, Deng Zhi, Li Yan and others also came to their senses. In shock, they all pleaded for Wei Yan.
"Prime Minister, the army was defeated, Chen Dao was also beheaded, and his morale was severely reduced. The Qin army must have taken this opportunity to take action. It is not appropriate to blame Wei Yan at this time. I think of Wei Yan's contributions in the past, and I have really sincerely regretted it, so I will forgive him once." Liao Hua said.
Deng Zhi, Ma Su and Li Yan also spoke, begging Zhuge Liang to spare Wei Yan for the time being.
As Liao Hua said, Jiang Wei and Deng Aihe County won a great victory and returned to the Han army camp. The Han army was in great spirits. Jiang Wei and Deng Ai struck while the iron was hot and asked the emperor's eldest son Liu Rui, and they all came to the front of the Chu army camp to call for war.
"Report to the Prime Minister, the enemy general Jiang Wei and Deng Ai came to the camp to fight, and were scolding the Prime Minister and the King." The soldiers rushed into the tent to report the situation.
Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up and said, "I want to take a look at what sacred Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are!"
After saying that, he looked at Wei Yan again and sighed, "Wei Yan, since you sincerely regretted this time, I will not punish you anymore. The defeat of He County and the beheading of Chen Dao is my fault. Is it because I underestimated Lu Xun? I don't know that He County was his plan."
"Wei Yan thanked Prime Minister." Wei Yan continued to bow deeply again, which shows that he really regretted it and had no falsehood.
Zhuge Liang nodded, saying that if it weren't for the defeat of He County and the beheading of Chen Dao, Zhuge Liang would definitely be relieved if Wei Yan had regretted so sincerely, but Zhuge Liang was really not in much mood at this moment, and he would not be relieved.
"All the generals, follow me to the front camp." Zhuge Liang led everyone out of the tent and came to the front camp. He could see the situation outside the camp through the camp gate.
...
The first challenge was Deng Ai and Jiang Wei to put the team in the rear.
"I am here to rise and Deng Ai dies!" A Chu general rushed out of the camp and took Deng Ai straight away.
When Chen Dao was beheaded by Deng Ai during the defeat in He County, Zhuge Liang did not dare to let Deng Zhi, Ma Su, Liao Hua, Li Yan, Wei Yan and other only available generals take risks easily, but there are always people who want to show themselves in front of Zhuge Liang, such as Chengxing.
Cheng Xing used a spear to imitate the wing-eight snake spear of Zhang Fei, the largest general of the Chu army. At the same time, Cheng Xing's figure also looked a bit like Zhang Fei's burly back then. Obviously, no matter what Cheng Xing's specific courage is, he must have the ambition to replace Zhang Fei's position in his heart, and there is really a two-point momentum between riding a horse and charging.
Opposite, Deng Ai looked at Cheng Xing coldly and kept approaching. The ordinary people may think that Cheng Xing is quite imposing, but at the level of Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, you can see at a glance that Cheng Xing is just a fool who is not good at using it, and he has no courage.
really!
Deeming that Cheng Xing was still twenty or thirty meters away from Deng Ai, Deng Ai also moved his horse to charge and accumulate strength.
The two horses intersected, and in just two rounds, Deng Ai killed Cheng Xing down!
