Chapter 144: Battle Report
In the imperial study room, Zhu Ji took the battle report and slowly opened it, and his eyes were filled with scarlet red. This was a bloody book—
"On September 9th, Liangzhou City, the Yellow Turban Army was at the city, and the soldiers surrounded Liangzhou City. Three hundred thousand troops were covered with the earth and were attacked on all sides... The next day, the war drums were beating, the horns sounded, and the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, tragic. The 300,000 Yellow Turban Army rushed to death like locusts. After three hours, Du Hui died, was nailed to death on the wall of the south gate, Liang Heng died, beheaded at the north gate, the south gate was broken, the north gate was also broken, the east gate could not hold on, blood stained the sky, and the city wall dyed red... The last general was incompetent, and he was unable to defend Liangzhou City, so he could only apologize for his death. People were in the city, and people died... Zhou Xin, the last stroke!"
"Bang!...bang, bang..." Looking at the battle report written by Xueshu, Zhu Ji's face changed again and again. Finally, he slapped the table in front of him with anger, knocking the teacup down, falling to the ground, and falling into several pieces.
"His Majesty, calm down your anger, don't be angry." The eunuch next to him said quickly, helping to touch Zhu Ji's back and helping to calm down.
"Yellow Turban Rebel."
Zhu Ji's eyes were red and gritted his teeth in anger. Although he had expected the situation in Liangzhou City, it was still difficult to accept the news. From this battle report, it can be seen that when the blood letter was written, Liangzhou City was almost broken. Du Hui and Liang Heng were dead. These two first-class generals of Huajin, but fell in Liangzhou City. And not only that, Zhou Xin was also dead, and most of the 80,000 troops were wiped out. This is a huge loss...
"Your Majesty, General Zhou has done his best to shed the last drop of blood for my Daliang, and he has been loyal."
The eunuch also glanced at the blood letter, which was touched, especially Zhou Xin's words, "The city is in the city, and the city is dead, and he didn't know if Zhou Xin could escape." However, Zhou Xin's determination moved him and put life and death aside. In the face of death, how many people could do this, and they had a sense of admiration for Zhou Xin in their hearts, and the eunuch couldn't help but say something.
Zhou Xin's loyalty and Zhou Xin's righteousness were reflected at this moment. He defended the city with his life, but the result was a bit sad, and the city was destroyed and the people were killed.
Zhu Ji's teeth creaked, and the veins of his hands were exposed, but he was extremely angry. After a long time, he came back and sighed quietly like a deflated ball.
"Not a sin of war!"
Liangzhou City was broken, and the entire Liang army was wiped out. Zhou Xin, Du Hui and other six first-class generals of Huajin were killed in battle. This is shocking news. They swept across the entire Yedu in one day, and everyone could not calm down. That was an 80,000 army, and six Huajin masters all died in battle. What a tragic battle it was? Could it be that the Yellow Turban Army was really as vulnerable as they thought?
At this moment, many people asked themselves, feeling that the alarm bell was sounded in their hearts. If the Yellow Turban Army really felt so unbearable to what they thought, what would be the 80,000 Liang Army? It was made of paper?
"I hope I've thought too much."
In the royal palace and in the imperial garden, Zhu Ji looked at the sky and murmured to himself. Since Zhou Xin's blood letter came, he felt a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty, why should you be careful? If General Chen takes action, he will return in triumph!"
The eunuch next to him spoke with mercy.
................
"Is Zhou Xin an idiot? He can't even defend Liangzhou City. Is the 80,000 army made of paper?"
On the other hand, Liang Jun camp, Chen Yan and others also received the battle report from Liangzhou City. Li Quan was the first to say that he slapped the table with a slap and said angrily that he had a lot of resentment towards Zhou Xin's defeat, and 80,000 people could not defend a Liangzhou City. In his opinion, Zhou Xin was just useless...
"General Li's words are a bit too much." Chen Yi frowned, a little dissatisfied with Li Quan's words. Although the city of Liangzhou was broken, it was Zhou Xin's fault, he felt that this battle might not be Zhou Xin's fault, not a crime of war, and Zhou Xin was killed by death. In his heart, he was a little impressed by Zhou Xin's loyalty. "General Zhou has done his duty."
"Yes, General Zhou has already fulfilled his loyalty."
Below is another general who echoed Chen Yi's statement.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Li Quan snorted coldly and stopped talking. Chen Yan, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, did not speak, but just frowned and looked at the battle report in his hand.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier walked in quickly.
"Say" Chen Yan said.
"Report to the general, spies come to report that the Yellow Turban Army has entered Sanchuan County and captured Pingyang County, and is now heading towards Baiyun City."
"So quickly." Chen Yi's face froze.
"Who is the Yellow Turban Army leading the army? How long will it take to get Baiyun City? How many troops stationed in Baiyun City can you resist?" Chen Yan said with a sharp look.
"Return to the general, the Yellow Turban Army was led by Zuo Jiao and Liu Shi, each of which led 20,000 troops. It will take about three or four days to reach Baiyun City. Five thousand troops were stationed in Baiyun City, and the general was the captain Fang Shi." The soldier replied.
"Fang Shi." Chen Yan said to himself, recalling this person
"General, Fang Shi is a general under General Zhou Xin's former subordinate, a hidden warrior." A general next to him reminded: "If you rely on Fang Shi and Baiyun City's garrison, you will probably not be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army."
During this period, the Yellow Turban Army swept across Daliang, and the eight generals Zuo Jiao, Liu Shi and others also spread their names, all of whom were Huajin warriors. Now these two leaders are approaching Baiyun City. Fang Shi, a hidden warrior and five thousand garrison troops, are impossible to resist. Baiyun City is one of the two major cities of Sanchuan County. If Baiyun City is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, almost half of Sanchuan County will fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.
"General, the last general asks for battle." While speaking, Chen Yi stood up, clasped his fists at Chen Yan, and asked for battle. Chen Yan frowned and said nothing.
"General, the last general asks for battle." At this time, Li Quan stood up without being willing to fall behind.
"Okay, Li Quan, now I appoint you as the pioneer, and be sure to arrive to support Baiyun City within three days." Chen Yan gave the order.
"The last general takes the order." Li Quan clasped his fists and said, "Chinyi Army, follow me!"
"General." Chen Yi's face changed and he wanted to say something else.
"Okay, that's it. Everyone else is ready and start later."
"yes!"
The remaining generals took the order and walked out. In the end, only Chen Yi and Chen Yan were left in the tent. They were father and son, but the relationship was very subtle.
"General, why don't you let me go?" Chen Yi looked straight at Chen Yan, his face calm, but his eyes were very sharp.
"This is a military order." Chen Yan's face remained unchanged and he spoke.
Chen Yi opened his mouth, but finally he didn't say anything. He hugged his fists, saluted and walked out of the battalion commander.
"Are you just eager to fight like this? Why do you like fighting so much? Are you eager to express yourself?"
Just as Chen Yi walked to the door of the camp, Chen Yan's words rang behind him, causing Chen Yi's steps to pause, but he did not turn back, and said with his back to Chen Yan--
"Because I want to prove it to you, I, Chen Yi, are no worse than you, Chen Yan."
"You are still hating me." An unconcealed sad look flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.
Chen Yi did not look back, his face was calm, and his tone was still plain-
"I was clearly terminally ill back then, but I never understood why you had to go to war at that time? Is war more important than my mother's life? Is my life better than my war? I will always remember that when my mother died, she was still muttering your name..."
"I'm sorry for you... But, without a country, how can I have a home?" Chen Yan took a deep breath and sighed.
"Without a home, what's the use of this country?" Chen Yi was angry when he heard this: "I will prove to you that your choice back then was wrong. Without you, Chen Yan, there is no shortage of people who can fight well."
