Chapter 301 Shu Han Infighting(1/2)
Wei Yan led a 100,000 army of the five princes and appeared in Bailishi north of Changping. Wei Yan's troops were still holding the flags of the Han army.
In addition to Wei Yan, there were also troops from Liu Zhiyuan's Han army, Yelu Deguang's Liao army and other towns.
Behind Wei Yan, a team of infantry wearing wolf heads and armor followed Wei Yan closely, with blood-colored heavy armor and a black wolf helmet, full of murderous aura.
Wei Yan's eyes were sharp and he didn't deal with the princes such as Liu Zhiyuan, Yelu Deguang and others.
Wei Yan was arrogant and looked down on Liu Zhiyuan who established the Later Han Dynasty.
As for Yelu Deguang, the Khitan emperor, Wei Yan even despised him even more.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the barbarian tribe was suppressed by the Three Kingdoms, and Wei Yan really didn't look down on the Khitans very much.
"This place is called Bailishi. To the south is where Bai Qi defeated Zhao Kuo and killed 400,000 Zhao troops."
Wei Yan led his troops past Bailishi and was in awe.
Near Baili Stone is the battlefield of the Battle of Changping. Even if you are as proud as Wei Yan, you dare not say that you can surpass Bai Qi.
Bai Qi is already the ceiling of a famous general.
Wei Yan looked upwards, and the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout soared, monitoring Wei Yan's movements.
"From Shangdang City, these war eagles have been following us. Our every move may have been noticed by the other party and pass through the Baili Stone as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more dreams."
Wei Yan held the knife and felt a sense of uneasy.
"Lord, there is a team of infantrymen in front of him blocking the road, claiming to be Wang Ping's troops!"
"Wang Ping...I'm going to kill him!"
Wei Yan was so angry that he thought of Wang Ping.
Yang Yi, Ma Dai, Wang Ping, because Wei Yan was usually arrogant, Wei Yan had differences with these Shu Han generals. After Zhuge Liang's death, Ma Dai and Wang Ping supported Yang Yi, and Wei Yan failed to fight for power and died.
"Greedy Wolf Camp, follow me!"
Wei Yan shouted loudly and led the Tanlang Camp to attack Wang Ping who was blocking the front.
Wang Ping led the Wudang Flying Army and was ordered to intercept Wei Yan.
Wang Ping knew Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was good at raising soldiers and was extremely brave, but he was arrogant and looked down on many people. He was somewhat similar to Guan Yu, and he was both generals who came out to control the country.
Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou and Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong. These two places were dangerous places.
It is precisely because of Wei Yan's personality that Wang Ping and Wei Yan's relationship is not very good.
"I didn't expect that one day, I would become enemies."
Liao Hua and Wang Ping blocked Wei Yan together. When they thought of fighting with Wei Yan, Liao Hua couldn't help but sigh.
This is a civil war between generals in the middle and late periods of Shu Han.
Wei Yan was undoubtedly the largest general in the middle of Shu Han. At that time, the second-in-command, second only to Zhuge Liang in military affairs, Wang Ping and Liao Hua were not sure to defeat Wei Yan.
The soldiers recruited by Wei Yan in Taihang Mountain were no longer soldiers from Shu Han. They died for Wei Yan and would not flee because Wang Ping was in the name of Prime Minister Zhuge.
"What happened at that time? Did Wei Yan really betray our Han Dynasty?"
Liao Hua wanted to know what happened between the Chief Secretary Yang Yi and Wei Yan after Zhuge Liang's death.
Liao Hua traveled over during the Northern Expedition after Zhuge Liang. At that time, Zhuge Liang had not yet died in Wuzhangyuan. Wang Ping only traveled over after Zhuge Liang's death. Therefore, Wang Ping, the person involved, knew the truth about the dispute between Yang Yi and Wei Yan.
Wang Ping replied: "Wei Yan did not betray, it was just a power struggle. Yang Yi was impatient and narrow-minded, and later failed to compete for power with Jiang Wan. In the end, he committed suicide by being imprisoned and could not protect himself. The Prime Minister cherished Yang Yi's talent and Wei Yan's courage, and often hated that the two of them could not get along well, but he could not bear to neglect either of them, which eventually caused a disaster. If the Prime Minister deposed anyone during his lifetime, this might not have happened... And Ma Dai and I were just pawns in the dispute between the two."
"The power struggle..."
Liao Hua was silent.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were serious domestic struggles. Cao Wei and Eastern Wu also had various coups, but Shu Han did not have many talents, and the losses caused by open and secret struggles were large. Even generals like Wei Yan and Jiang Wei who were the only ones could not avoid political disputes.
According to Wang Ping, Wei Yan had no intention of betraying Shu Han. At that time, Yang Yi and Wei Yan thought they could all take over Zhuge Liang's position and civil strife broke out. In fact, Zhuge Liang chose Jiang Wan as his successor.
Liao Hua sighed: "There are not many people under the Prime Minister. The Ma Su he trained was killed, Li Yan was exiled. Yang Yi and Wei Yan are already one of the few talents, so they will reluctantly abandon anyone."
"There is no need to mention this matter again. Since our position is different from Wei Yan, we can only draw our swords to face each other."
Wang Ping could already see Wei Yan's military flag.
Wei Yan came with resentment and called himself the general of the rebellious Han Dynasty. He was furious and murderous intent!
Sand and dust rolling, and the iron cavalry is firm and strong!
"Wei Yan is still using the military flag of our Han Dynasty."
When Wang Ping saw the flag of Wei Yan's army, he knew that Wei Yan was just resentful to Yang Yi, Ma Dai, Wang Ping and others, and still respected Liu Bei. After all, Wei Yan was an old minister promoted by Liu Bei.
Wang Ping and Liao Hua faced Wei Yan, but did not dare to be arrogant. They occupied the important road between the two mountains in advance, blocked Wei Yan, and presented a defensive position.
"Well!"
Wei Yan held the reins of the war horse and looked down on Wang Ping and Liao Hua, who were lined up in front of him.
The 20,000 troops brought by Wei Yan were uniform.
Although Wei Yan was arrogant, he was skilled in using military force.
He was very familiar with the two of them.
His former colleagues turned against each other and became enemies.
"Wang Ping, I will kill you!"
Wei Yan's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes gradually turned red, his whole body was covered with blood, and his blood was shining brightly!
boom!
The scarlet aura burst out, the waves of air swept across the world, and the murderous aura surged!
After the five tiger generals withered, Wei Yan undoubtedly became the number one general in Shu Han. Wang Ping and Liao Hua's military power were not as good as Wei Yan!
Wang Ping rode his horse out and left the line: "Wei Yan, there is no right or wrong between the two sides in the matter that day. Now we draw our swords to each other again, it is probably God's will. If you can lead your troops to surrender, we can still make peace again."
"Don't think about it! There is only one battle between you and me!"
"Greedy Wolf Camp, defeat the enemy!"
When Wei Yan saw his old man, he was obsessed with evil spirits. His irritability filled Wei Yan's chest. Wei Yan immediately stepped forward and led the Tanlang Camp directly to attack Wang Ping and Liao Hua!
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Greedy Wolf Camp were wearing heavy blood armor, with a helmet of Canglang, holding a big sword, and their blood was boiling and storming like fire!
"Wudang Flying Army, prepare for the battle!"
Wang Ping retreated back to the army formation, Wudang Feijun bent his bow and arrows, and prepared poisonous arrows.
On the nearby hilltop, Xie Ai secretly peeked at the battlefield.
"Using the conflict between Wei Yan and Wang Ping and Liao Hua to anger Wei Yan. Although it is somewhat immoral, this is the art of war."
Xie Ai deliberately arranged for Wang Ping to restrain Wei Yan and let Wei Yan get into trouble to facilitate the subsequent battle.
Wei Yan was the chief general of this army, with Wei Yan leading the leader, and other princes in the towns had no heads.
Yelu Deguang, the prince located in the rear, heard the shouts of killing in front of him and immediately sent cavalry to explore the truth.
"Report! Wei Yan's 20,000 Han soldiers have already fought with the Xia army!"
"Wei Yan fought with the Xia army in front? Wei Yan was brave, but not mediocre. He should know how to preserve his strength. He was so good. For me, it might be a good thing to let Wei Yan fight the Xia army to death and consume the troops of both sides at the same time."
Yelu Deguang was the second emperor of the Khitan Liao Kingdom and the son of Yelu Abaoji. Unfortunately, he traveled to the Taihang Mountains, summoned a group of Khitans and other nomadic tribes, and became a vassal of princes, and dealt with the forces established by various Han people.
Wei Yan despised him, and he wanted to let Wei Yan and Xia army suffer both defeat.
Dada dada...
Suddenly, in the valley, a cavalry holding the Xia army's flag rushed out, and the flag was waving!
Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao and his son led 5,000 Yang family troops to raid the mountain path, and detoured to the rear of Wei Yan's army, attacking Yelu Deguang in the rear!
"It's the Khitan cavalry!"
"Kill them!"
The Yang family generals, especially Yang Yanzhao, had a grudge against the Khitans. When they saw the Khitan cavalry, Yang Yanzhao took the lead and broke into the Khitan cavalry!
The Khitan cavalry who were marching suddenly was attacked by the Yang family army, and there was chaos, and dozens of people were stabbed to death by Yang Yanzhao!
The more Khitan cavalry Yang Yanzhao killed, the stronger his aura became. It was obvious that the blood of the Khitans was absorbed by Yang Yanzhao, and the wounds stabbed by the Khitan cavalry quickly healed.
In the eyes of the Khitan cavalry, Yang Yanzhao was like a seven-killing star descending to earth!
"Yang Liulang is here, Khitan is killed!"
Yang Yanzhao shouted and picked up a Khitan general, which made Yang Liulang's reputation spread again!
"Yang Liulang, it's Yang Liulang!"
"This is the Yang family army!"
Among Yelu Deguang's Khitan cavalry, there were actually people from Yang Liulang's dynasty. They recognized Yang Yanzhao and were extremely frightened.
