Chapter 201 Guo Huai kills three scholars with one peach(1/2)
Xianyang City, this small city was captured by the Xia army because the defenders had no intention of fighting. The city was in chaos, and the Xia army searched for Qin Xiaogong's whereabouts door to door.
In the wild, the Xia army was still chasing the Qin and Wei soldiers in the middle of the night, and fleeing Qin and Wei soldiers could be seen everywhere.
The Xia army soldiers were chasing Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen, and Zhang Hua offered the highest reward to them.
Ma Wu held Fang Tian's painting halberd and knocked on the helmet of a fleeing Qin army soldier: "Where is Qin Xiaogong?"
The Qin army soldiers pointed at a cavalry in front of them: "That person is."
"One thousand taels are mine!"
Ma Wu immediately chased after him.
The Qin army soldier who escaped the disaster showed his cunning eyes and continued to escape.
Suddenly, a team of cavalry holding torches stopped the Qin army soldiers.
"Although Ma Wu's martial power is high, his intelligence is still touching, and he almost got rid of a big fish."
Zhang Hua and his cavalry stopped the Qin army soldiers and were almost fled by the Qin army soldiers.
The Qin army soldier quickly said, "Sir, I am just an ordinary soldier. Please let me return to the village."
"The civilians will not emphasize that they are ordinary soldiers, and they will be taken down by someone."
Zhang Hua waved his hand and the left and right imperial guards took down the Qin army soldier.
"Don't try to escape!"
Niu Jinda led the cavalry to pursue the Qin general Meng Yi. Niu Jinda gained the power of five bulls with his arms. Each attack was strong and he rushed dozens of Qin cavalry one after another, chasing Meng Yi reluctantly.
Suddenly, a cavalry turned around and the sword energy stabbed!
Niu Jinda held the horse spear in both hands, and cracks appeared in the horse spear that was slashed by the sword energy.
"Catch him!"
More than a dozen cavalrymen around Niu Jinda volunteered to catch this person and go back to receive the reward.
In the dark night, sword energy was everywhere. The opponent killed more than a dozen cavalry with a three-foot long sword, and all of these cavalry were sealed with sword energy.
"Don't chase after you anymore."
Niu Jinda was shocked.
The guards around Meng Yi were extremely powerful, and Niu Jinda's cavalry might not be able to defeat Meng Yi's remaining soldiers.
The other party was also worried that more Xia cavalry in the rear would catch up and not entangle with Niu Jinda, but would protect Meng Yi from returning to Xiliang.
"Who is this?"
Niu Jinda was shocked when he saw the other party disappearing into the darkness.
The opponent's swordsmanship is amazing, and his moves are all killer skills, but they do not appear on the battlefield. Perhaps they are rangers or guards, rather than generals who are good at leading troops.
The guard shocked Niu Jinda and met with Meng Yi.
Meng Yi said: "We go to Longshan, and the reinforcements are probably already in Longshan."
The disastrous Qin army began to retreat towards Longshan.
A Qin general was trapped in the Xia army and was besieged by several times the Xia army, and could not help but despair.
A cavalry came out, and Fang Tian's painting halberd slammed and swept the Qin generals for more than ten meters!
"puff!"
The Qin general could not withstand such a heavy blow, and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.
Xue Rengui chased Meng Tian, and originally wanted to capture Meng Tian, a powerful enemy alive.
But Meng Tian's generals intercepted Xue Rengui and Li Ji's pursuers.
This general also made it possible to buy time for the main general Meng Tian to escape, but the price he paid was that the entire Qin army was wiped out, and he was also captured by Xue Rengui.
"Su Jiao?"
Xue Rengui captured Meng Tian's general alive and asked his name clearly.
After Meng Tian's death, Su Jiao followed Wang Li, who succeeded Meng Tian, to the south and suppressed the rebel army at the end of Qin. In Julu, he was defeated by Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and was defeated and killed.
"Su Jiao is worth three hundred taels, which is pretty good."
In the Zhang Hua power, these Wei and Qin generals all clearly marked the price.
Capturing Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen alive can get one thousand taels of silver.
Capturing Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Zhang He, Guo Huai and other main military generals alive will get 500 taels of silver.
If you capture Su Jiao and other generals alive, you will get three hundred taels of silver.
Three hundred taels of silver were already a great reward, and there were also rewards for capturing a group of Qin captains, commanders, soldiers, and spoils, including the military merits obtained by beheading, Xue Rengui's cavalry gained a lot in this battle.
The Weishui War was quite fierce, and the casualties of the Xia army on Zhang Hua's side reached nearly half. If survivors were not given generous treatment, no one would be willing to abandon the pen and join the army.
"The tiger and leopard cavalry are almost gone!"
Cao Zhen fled with the remaining tiger and leopard cavalry, and his tiger and leopard cavalry were almost wiped out during the battle and pursuit.
"Return to Youfufeng and Chen Cang, plunder gold, silver and treasures, and then go to your Majesty."
At this time, Cao Zhen thought of Cao Cao who was fighting in Kanto.
After Zhang Hua conquered Xianyang, he occupied the richest territory in Guanzhong. Cao Zhen only had Chen Cang, Qishan, Youfufeng and other territory in the western part of Guanzhong. As long as Zhang Hua advanced westward, it would be difficult to resist with Cao Zhen's troops.
Cao Zhen had already foreseen that he could not defend Chen Cang, so he made the decision to flee to Guandong and surrender to Cao Cao.
"But it is very difficult to get from Chen Cang to Guandong, and you need to pass through the territory of other princes..."
"General, I have a plan, not only can I try to go to Kanto, but also can make the two tigers fight and help the general avenge."
"Boji, what's your trick?"
Cao Zhen looked at Guo Huai. This man was thoughtful and was a famous general in the late Wei Dynasty.
Guo Huai said: "If the general cannot defend Chen Cang, he can present Chen Cang to the princes of Hanzhong. If the princes of Hanzhong want to march into Guanzhong, they must get Chen Cang. Before, we were guarding Chen Cang. Since Chen Cang was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it was several times the force, it might not be able to capture it. The princes of Hanzhong were powerless."
"If the Hanzhong princes obtain Chen Cang as a bridgehead to attack Guanzhong, they will definitely be grateful to the general. At that time, the general can put forward conditions and lead troops into Hanzhong, and use ships to go from the Han River to Nanyang, and then they can reach Guandong."
"Imagine that if the princes of Hanzhong get the important land of Chen Cang, they will become Zhang Hua's thorn in the eyes and the flesh is thorn in the flesh. Zhang Hua will definitely be unwilling to give up and will inevitably send troops to seize Chen Cang."
"In this way, if the princes of Guanzhong compete with Hanzhong, and two tigers compete for food, one will be injured."
"In addition, the princes of Xiliang are also determined to seize Chen Cang as a bridgehead to attack Guanzhong. If the princes of Hanzhong compete with the princes of Guanzhong for Chen Cang, how could the princes of Xiliang stand by and watch?"
"This is a plan to kill three soldiers with one peach."
"hiss……"
After hearing Guo Huai's plan, Cao Zhen couldn't help but take a breath.
Chen Cang was located at the junction of Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Xiliang. It was a place that military strategists must fight for and was crucial to the princes of the three sides. Therefore, major wars such as Liu Bang secretly traveling to Chen Cang in the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms in the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains, Wu Jie of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Wu Zhen's defeat of Jin Wushu, all broke out in the Chen Cang area.
Guo Huai used Chen Cang as bait and provoked a battle between the princes of three sides with one city, which was a sinister intention.
Moreover, Guo Huai made this plan to please the princes of Hanzhong, so that Cao Zhen's remaining troops could go to Guandong through the Han River, without being trapped by Zhang Hua to death in the Chencang area.
"Bo Ji's brilliant plan to help the world. In the future, I will use you more as my military advisor."
"Thank you, General."
Cao Zhen and Guo Huai continued to flee to Chen Cang.
Chen Cang and Hao Zhao's 20,000 troops.
Hao Zhao led his troops to garrison Chen Cang, and it was difficult for ordinary military generals to capture Chen Cang, so Cao Zhen also had the capital of Chen Cang, which could disrupt the situation in the world.
"We must be prepared for the general's defeat in the Wei River."
When Hao Zhao learned that the front was defeated, he ordered the soldiers to pack their bags. At the same time, according to the order Cao Zhen sent back in advance, he sent people to contact the princes in Hanzhong and began to implement Guo Huai's plan to kill three soldiers with one peach.
Hao Zhao is just a guard general, good at defending the city, and cannot change the situation, so he can only act according to Cao Zhen's orders.
"We are about to fight to the death, why has the general escaped!"
The Wei general Fei Yao was responsible for defending the Wei army camp. When Deng Ai and Zhao Guang attacked the Wei army camp, Fei Yao led the Wei army and was still fighting to the death. As a result, the Wei army also thought that its camp had been broken, so they retreated with the Qin army.
General Cao Zhen ran back to Chencang with the tiger and leopard cavalry overnight. Many generals of the Wei Kingdom forgot that there was another general who guarded the camp with thousands of troops.
After fighting to the back, Fei Yao found that Cao Zhen, Zhang He and others had retreated, and he was trapped in the siege of the Xia army, so Fei Yao had to lead the crowd to surrender.
"well."
Fei Yao was helpless. He was a military general with a low sense of existence. Although he became a general in the Wei State, he was not very famous. He was only responsible for guarding the camp and transporting food and grass, but was captured by the Xia army.
Deng Ai and Zhao Guang fought hard for a day and night, and successively captured the Qin and Wei camps. The captive Fei Yao did not dare not feel tired, but instead became more energetic and took the prisoners to see Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua had already chased You Fufeng and took advantage of the situation to capture this third-level town.
Further ahead are Chencang and Longshan.
Chen Cang also had a large number of Wei troops, and there were also some forts and defenders in Longshan. The Xia army, who had just experienced a fierce battle, was difficult to conquer Chen Cang, who was heavily guarded by him at this time.
Especially in the Longshan area, there are cavalry deployed by the princes of Xiliang.
