Chapter 159: Calming the Chaos (Part 2)

Updated: 2012-08-16

Ten thousand Wei troops, led by Yang Jun, took advantage of the night to leave the city and headed towards Qiao County. Hu Lie's march route seemed extremely dangerous, but Yang Jun did not think so. It was not because of Yang Jun's clever idea, but because Hu Lie rushed to lead troops to Qiao County. Yang Jun didn't understand the strategy of military strategy, but he knew the situation of the other party rushing to make contributions. It was ridiculous that Hu Lie, Shi Chong and others were also deceived at the banquet to hand over the military power. Shi Chong's previous sentence was still seriously injured and could not make it happen. At this time, he was also anxious to follow the army to sweep the thieves.

Fortunately, I was smart and did not fall into the plot of these reckless men and led the army to set off alone. This time, it was not only to wipe out the rioters, but also to take the opportunity to kick the Shu army's nest in one fell swoop!

The Wei army walked at night and did not encounter any rioters along the way. These rioters gathered around several Chengxian counties. In order to avoid alerting the snake, Yang Jun took a small road to Qiao County. It was not until the east was white that Yang Jun had a shortage of Wei troops. The Shu army on the top of the city was panicked and pulled up the city gate. After a chaotic situation, the Shu army at the top of the city was also rare. Yang Jun felt a move in his heart and said secretly: "There are indeed not many Shu soldiers in Qiao County." So he ordered the generals in the army to persuade the surrender, while taking a short rest to prepare to attack Qiao County!

"Who are you? How dare you invade our prefectures? Do you want to survive?" A young scholar flashed out on the top of the city, dressed in disheveled, looking at the bottom of the city without waking up and shouting, "It was the general of Shu Han."

Seeing that the general of Shu didn't look like a warrior, Yang Jun said a lot, and looked like a bluff, he immediately laughed and said, "When the heavenly soldiers arrived here, why don't they open the city gate quickly to surrender! Otherwise...huh!"

Li Han looked at the top of the city with sleepy eyes and yawned, "The heavenly soldiers arrived, and they were in a far distance to welcome him. I hope the heavenly soldiers would forgive me. The city gate... I am too lazy to open. Since it is the heavenly soldiers, please fly into the city. I will definitely be a good hospitality." After saying that, Li Han turned around and disappeared on the top of the city.

Although the Shu army was sparsely populated on the top of the city, they laughed loudly when they heard this. The Wei army under the city was so angry that it was smoked. Yang Jun was furious and ordered the troops to attack the city immediately!

The beacons rose in Qiao County, and the war drums were beating in the city. Two thousand Shu soldiers were spread across the city. The strength of the enemy was five times higher! From the sunrise in the east to the sunrise, the Wei army lost more than a thousand people but could not capture the city of Qiao County! Yang Jun immediately saw the back and back pain under the city, and was furious! A mere Qiao County, who has only fought such a small defender, can't even attack. What should we do?

Xingye came to avoid the location of the Shu army just to surprise him. Even if the Shu people learned that Qiao County was besieged and attacked, it would take more than half a day to rush back. In any case, this city must be broken within an hour, otherwise if the reinforcements from Shu Han arrived... it would be troublesome...

Thinking of this, the Wei army began to step up the offensive. Although the Shu army was few on the top of the city, Li Han had already arranged in an orderly manner. He was busy but not inconsistent, which made the Wei army frequently repelled. Time passed by. Yang Jun watched the Shu army at the top of the city shaking but not falling. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running repeatedly under the horse, suspicious.

The Wei army rushed to attack overnight, but when they arrived at the city, they had no rest. They had been hungry for more than half a day in the siege, and they were not in a state of energy. Seeing this, Yang Jun had no choice but to send an order to withdraw his troops and camp, bury the pot and cook rice. The smoke from cooking rose, and Yang Jun sat in the camp and feasted. It was really uncomfortable to be hungry after half a day of the night.

The Wei army was enjoying themselves, and suddenly the sound of war drums sounded, and the shouts of killing were deafening! The Shu army in Qiao County actually opened the city gate and came out! Yang Jun was shocked when he heard the news. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and hurriedly boarded the horse to organize the Wei army to fight and retreat. Unexpectedly, the Shu army just bluffed and advanced slightly, and finally quickly retreated to the city.

The Wei army was in a false alarm, but the camp was already in chaos. Li Han looked carefully at the city wall and laughed, "This kind of wine bag is not worth fear."

There were more than 8,000 people in the Shu army of Qiao County and Tang Zi's gangs, but only two thousand people remained. The remaining 6,000 people and Li Te, Tang Zi was no longer in Qiao County, but turned to the battlefield in Huainan!

No matter what the outcome of the Battle of Jiangnan, the Huainan area is a must-fight for military strategists and a major area! The Wei navy relied on the soil of Huainan. Once Huainan is lost, the Wei army's water power in the Yangtze River Basin will be reduced by at least half, and it is unknown that it will not recover from it. Especially after the Shu army occupied Jianye, the Wei army in Wujun relied on the waterways in the direction of Guangling. Occupying Huainan can threaten the waterways from Guangling to Wujun, causing the Wei army in Wujun to be completely isolated under the waterways of Shu army.

The navy of Wei was not inferior to the Shu army, and there were many warships. Although the soldiers were not very elite, as long as they could drive boats and shoot arrows, they would be enough to pose a threat to the Shu army. Even if the Emperor Liu Chan of Shu Han held a military camp in Jianye, he could only wait for his own navy to defeat the Wei navy before he had the opportunity and way to land on the north bank of the road to fight. Otherwise, even if he had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, he could only sigh across the river.

The mission of Qiao County has been achieved, which not only caused chaos in one area, but also made people in the Wei State panic. No matter how the Wei people deal with the problem of Qiao County, focusing on taking care of Qiao County is an inevitable measure. The so-called avoidance of the important means using Qiao County to attract the attention of Wei State at this time, and the Shu army selected elite soldiers to rush to the battlefield in Huainan and inserted a sharp blade behind the Wei State!

At this time, there were still many wise men in the Wei Kingdom, but they were not in other places, but they were fighting for fame and fortune. Even Hu Lie and others who were close at hand were thinking about this contribution and had no further consideration. This was because of the lack of personal intelligence, and it was also because of the atmosphere of officials. Perhaps both of them gave the Shu army a huge opportunity to fight and accelerated the demise of the Wei Kingdom.

Tang Zi was an important figure. No matter which country he served, his area of ​​activity was the area where the Shu army was located. Especially for Huainan, Shouchun knew it very well. Wherever he could station troops to rest, wherever he could guard, and wherever he was secretly conscious. With Tang Zi as his guide, the six thousand Shu army was broken into pieces, and after defeating several Wei troops along the way, he hid in the mountains and lakes of Huainan.

There are countless rumors in the Central Plains, and the people rush to tell the story of Wang Ji being killed by Sima. This incident naturally came from the Shu army, and Fu Fu even personally wrote a proclamation to attack Cao Wei, and held a frustration for Wang Ji. After the Wei court convicted Wang Ji and Fu Fu, the authenticity of the rumors was further confirmed. Wang Ji had been in charge of Huainan area for nearly ten years and was deeply rooted, but was deeply loved by the people. When they learned that Wang Ji was killed in an unjustly manner, they were filled with righteous indignation and scolded Sima. After the news of Sima Zhao's death came, they were even more cheerful.

When the Sima family came to power, Huainan had three rebellions. It was not because Huainan was like this, but because the Sima family was unpopular. With the death of Zhuge Dan, Huainan entered a short period of prosperity after Wang Ji's suppression and governance. As the base camp for attacking the Wu Kingdom, Huainan military stations and civilians provided countless money, grain and logistics support to the front. In such a heavy area, people are now in panic, and it is inevitable that someone will be ready to move when Sima Zhao dies.

Tang Zi was an expert in rebellion and an expert in instigating rebellion. The Shu army intentionally revealed its whereabouts in some areas, and the Wei army's attention was changed, so Tang Zi was able to act at the camera. The example of Qiao County was alive. Huainan was a place where heavy grain was stationed. Heavy troops were stationed, and the money was consumed more. There were endless traffic and transportation of food and grass from all over the country. The people and refugees who worked were not fewer than Qiao County, but on the contrary, they were several times more.

In the past, Wang Ji always treated the people preferentially. At present, coolies were paid less. It was not that the Wei people were stingy, but that they were short of money... Supporting such a huge military expenditure was a headache. In addition, the fall of Jianye, insufficient military force, continuous water wars, and unfavorable water transportation factors could only be exploited from the people at the bottom.

The country's environment is in a sluggish state, and it is not surprising that the places where heavy troops gather, such as Huainan are even more chaotic.

When the counties began to riot frequently, the Wei army became panicked and hurriedly sent troops to quell the chaos! If it was slow, who would know if it would become the next Qiao County!?

Just as the Huainan defenders were divided, Li Te and Tang Zi led the six thousand Shu troops to the dock on the shore in front of everyone...
