Zhao Wei's face was gloomy, and a person in the camp was kowtowing to Zhao Wei, his forehead was stained red with blood, this person was not someone else but the captain Yang Chao who was defeated and fled.
Now Yang Chao can hate himself to death, what the hell was in his mind at the beginning, he recommended himself, but now he is better, he recommended himself, playing himself to death.
Zhao Wei is also distressed, the 5,000 army, even if it is not an elite, is still a front-line army, but it was lost like this, and the number of people who escaped back was only 500.
It can be said that the entire establishment is gone.
"My lord, this General Yang Chao is not incompetent. The enemy is too strong. There are tens of thousands of people. This General Yang Chao's army was defeated. It is not the crime of the general, but the shortage of soldiers!" One of them stood up and said to Zhao Wei over there.
"That's right, my lord, General Yang Chao also said that there are tens of thousands of enemies. Although my five thousand army in Yunnan is elite, it can't withstand tens of thousands of people!" Another general stood up.
"My lord, it was a conspiracy from the beginning. These barbarians have masters behind them, and they want to use Yunnan as a bait!" One after another, they spoke.
They are all pleading for this Yang Chao, which is enough to see that this person is still very well connected in the army.
"Enough!" Suddenly, Zhao Wei over there roared angrily. He glared at everyone present, and lowered his head one by one, not daring to just look at Zhao Wei.
"Tens of thousands of troops? Huh!" Zhao Wei looked at the crowd below with a cold snort.
"Yang Chao, tell me how many soldiers there are!" Zhao Wei looked at Yang Chao over there coldly.
Yang Chao stopped kowtowing, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Wei, "I. I~" Yang Chao wouldn't know how many soldiers there were. There are no more than 3,000 enemies in total.
The reason why it has become tens of thousands of people. It was Yang Chao's life-saving words.
If you talk about it as soon as you come up, you are defeated by three thousand barbarians, and the fun is really great. The protagonist Zhao Wei dragged himself out and cut him if he couldn't say it.
So Yang Chao made a compromise and became tens of thousands of people, and a group of people over there were also helping Yang Chao and said.
But looking at Zhao Wei's angry look now, Yang Chao didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie.
Looking at Zhao Wei's eyes again, Yang Chao keenly felt that there was killing intent in Zhao Wei's eyes.
Yang Chao couldn't help shivering. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the blood on his head looked horrible, but in fact it was harmless, but if Zhao Wei over there had murderous intentions, he would be finished.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Chao decided to tell the truth, "Return, return to the lord, the enemy, the enemy is less than five thousand!"
Although Yang Chao was going to tell the truth, he still increased his strength a lot. If you really want to say that you were defeated by the three thousand barbarians, then even if Zhao Wei didn't kill him, Yang Chao. But he, Yang Chao, doesn't want to have the possibility of leading the army again in his life.
"What!" Even the number of 5,000 shocked Zhao Wei's civil and military forces below. The 5,000 barbarians actually defeated the 5,000 Yunnan soldiers.
Although the barbarians often come out of the mountains, they are actually not regarded as a serious problem by the authorities, because generally speaking one-on-one, the Han soldiers and horses will not be the opponents of the barbarians. One thousand against one thousand, that is completely the main battlefield of the Han people.
A thousand Han soldiers, relying on excellent weapons and armor and an army formation, can completely suppress 5,000 barbarians. This is why no barbarians have ever occupied the city.
But today they heard an astonishing fact that the five thousand barbarian army defeated Yang Chao's five thousand main force.
This is simply a strange story. Several generals didn't believe it on the spot, but seeing Yang Chao's miserable appearance before him, it was impossible not to believe it.
"Huh!" Zhao Wei still had a dissatisfied look on his face. Although Yang Chao had said a lot, at least he didn't lie to himself too much. If Yang Chao really didn't tell the truth all the time, then Zhao Wei would definitely be ruthless and kill this person of.
If you lie to others, this person is in danger.
"Your General Yang Chao, that is really my famous Yizhou general! Five thousand troops fought against three thousand barbarians, and they were finally completely defeated by three thousand barbarians!" Zhao Wei continued to bomb those civil and military men.
Losing one-on-one has already made them unimaginable, and now the number of barbarians is still smaller than them.
Everyone looked at Yang Chao with sympathy, because looking at Zhao Wei's appearance, it was difficult for this Yang Chao to lead the army.
Yang Chao also lowered his head, with a gloomy look on his face.
"However, I wonder why these barbarians have such weapons in their hands!" Zhao Wei over there actually took out a sword in his hand.
This sword radiated cold light, making people shudder. Zhao Wei asked someone to fetch one of their weapons. When the two collided, the sword of Zhao Wei's army was directly cracked.
Baodao, the following generals are not people who know the goods, and they can't help showing fiery eyes when they look at this sword.
"Yangzhou War Saber!?" A knowledgeable person below saw the origin of this treasured sword.
That's right, this is the weapon used by those barbarians. Although the barbarians defeated Yang Chao, Yang Chao still has 5,000 men under his command, so even 5,000 pigs can kill two people.
So two unlucky ghosts were killed, and the weapons in their hands were also robbed and sent to Zhao Wei.
"Yangzhou Liu Mang sent troops?" Zhao Wei's civil and military people below were in an uproar.
They have heard of this Yangzhou Liu Mang. He has hundreds of thousands of people with armor in his hands. Now he is the overlord of the Central Plains. They didn't care before because they are far away.
Now that Yangzhou's weapons have been discovered, everyone is panicking. If the Yangzhou army comes over, then what a fart, just surrender.
"How could soldiers and horses from Yangzhou appear in Yunnan?" Zhao Wei said disdainfully. He looked at a kind of civil and military people below and a kind of anger rose in his heart.
This Yunnan is a mountainous area. If the Yangzhou army came, the most worrying thing would be Liu Zhang. I am afraid that Liu Zhang would have sent an envoy long ago.
Furthermore, Yunnan has many mountains. Large-scale soldiers and horses simply cannot be deployed. Even if the Yangzhou army arrives, so what.
They are people who have stayed on the plains for a long time. Can you still compare with these native people
Hearing that it wasn't the Yangzhou army, everyone calmed down.
"Master, if there are really only 3,000 people, we can completely let them go. They won't be able to take Yunnan for a while. Our top priority is to get through Jianning and take Jianning City. As long as Jianning City is taken, It's not too late for us to deal with these barbarians!" A general of Zhao Wei stood up and said.
"En!" Zhao Wei nodded. He has already reached this state in Jianning City, so there is nothing to lose.
"My lord, these 3,000 barbarians were able to defeat General Yang Chao, which shows that the combat power is not ordinary. We should solve this disaster as soon as possible. Now that Yangzhou has appeared, it will change if it is too late!" Another civil servant stood up.
If it's an ordinary savage, just let him go. Generally speaking, when the barbarians go down the mountain, they cannot survive on the mountain. There is no food left, so they come down the mountain one by one. They just need to catch up, or ask the Han people to help them reduce the population, and then go back.
But now it's different, Yangzhou's shadow has appeared, I'm afraid it's not a little bit of a problem.
Don't they know about these Yangzhou swords? On the black market, it is all things that are priced by the market. Now a bunch of barbarians who are so poor that they have only their crotch left have a Yangzhou sword in their hands. No one believes that there is no Yangzhou army behind them.
Zhao Wei also nodded, the figure of the Yangzhou Army really gave him a headache.
"My lord, as long as you win the Jianning generation, then your great career can be expected, my lord. To put it bluntly, Yunnan is lost. We also have Hanzhong and Chengdu, so why bother about a city!" Zhao Wei's heart-warming words came.
Why did Zhao Wei send troops from Yunnan? Isn't it because he wants to get Yizhou that he has always wanted
Now as long as the first generation of Jianning is defeated, it can be said that they will face Hanzhong directly. Although Hanzhong also has a defense line, at least, the great cause can be expected, right? It's no longer a mirror image.
Zhao Wei's eyes became hot.
"My lord, the second son is still in Yunnan!" Some people were anxious. Yunnan is their hometown. If it is breached, it will be their loss. The generals don't care because their achievements are all on the battlefield. Winning every city is a great contribution. With these contributions, will the lord Zhao Wei treat them badly
The family business in Yunnan is gone, the big deal is in Jianning, and it will be reorganized in Hanzhong.
But Wen Cheng was not so good.
Everyone looked at Zhao Wei over there.
Zhao Wei's face became calm, his eyes were full of greed, he had already made a decision, "Pass on my military order, and the whole army will attack tomorrow morning, and cooperate with my son to attack Jianning City back and forth. I want him to build Ningcheng!" Break the city in three days!"
Zhao Wei finally chose to build Ningcheng and choose his great cause. What is a son? As long as he has Yizhou, Zhao Wei will naturally have countless women to bear children for him.
"Yes!" The civil servant over there could only shake his head and retreat.
"Report, report, report!" A scout rushed in.
"Report, report to the lord, Jianning City, Jianning City!" the scout said out of breath.
"Is Jianning City like this?" Zhao Wei over there asked anxiously.
"Jianning City is empty!" The scout uttered words that stunned the audience.
"Is Jianning City empty?" Zhao Wei immediately led all his men towards the outside of the camp. Sure enough, a white flag was flying on Jianning City, and the city gate was also opened.
"My lord, this!" All the civil and military people in Yunnan were dumbfounded. What's going on? The city gate is wide open, isn't this defending the city? Or an empty city plan
Just kidding! Empty city tricks can only be used against experts, and for those whose IQ is not up to the mark, it is really just food delivery, and Zhang Yi, who went to the city, doesn't understand this stuff either.
Jianning City is really empty.
Zhao Wei sent a team of soldiers and horses into the city. After searching several time ministers, he brought the army into the city. There were really no enemy soldiers and horses in the city, and there were not many people left behind. , and more of them are those who are old, weak, sick and disabled.
This Jianning city is really empty, and the original defenders have left completely.
"How could it be!" Zhao Wei was also dumbfounded. This place, which he swore to resist before, has become like this now.
In fact, Zhang Yi planned to abandon Jianning City from the beginning. Although Jianning City has a high terrain, there are people defending it. These days, the lord Liu Zhang first dispatched most of the soldiers from the Jianning defense line. Ma left Zhang Yi with not even 5,000 people. In the end, the people of Jianning City spontaneously climbed up the city wall, which prevented Jianning City from collapsing.
But that's it, at the beginning when the Yunnan army attacked, Zhang Yi could only shrink back.
Originally, Zhang Yi was still waiting for Liu Zhang's reinforcements over there, but now he couldn't wait anymore. The letter sent by his brother Zhang Ren was that he was intercepted by the enemy halfway. Although not many, it will take ten days and a half months to come to Jianning City.
Ten days and a half months, Zhang Yi was able to collect his body. Jianning City couldn't bear it, so Zhang Yi decisively took the remaining thousands of defenders and gave up Jianning's line, while retreating to Hanzhong. The garrison, and then wrote a letter to his brother Zhang Ren, and let his army avoid the enemy and gather towards Hanzhong.
Prepare to fight Zhao Wei in Hanzhong.
"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord, Jianning has been acquired, and this Hanzhong is at my fingertips! My lord's great cause can be accomplished!" The generals all congratulated Zhao Wei.
Wen Cheng next to him was also smiling, Zhao Wei was successful, and their subordinates would naturally rise as the tide rose, and they must have a seat in the end.
"Haha!" Zhao Wei resignedly accepted the flattery of his subordinates.
Even that Yang Chao called Master Zhou Mu, which made Zhao Wei even more happy.
"Father, we should attack Hanzhong immediately, catch Liu Zhang's son by surprise, and take Hanzhong with lightning speed. After this, he, Liu Zhang's son, will be the turtle in our urn!" The one over there looks very similar to Zhao Wei The young man who looked like spoke,
This person is Zhao Jie. He was the one who led his elite troops across the Jianning defense line and arrived at the rear of Jianning City. If it wasn't because Jianning City was attacked from the front and back, Zhang Yi would not have come so decisively.
"Yes, my lord, what the eldest son said is very true, we should send troops to Hanzhong immediately!"
"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" All the generals started to challenge, and Zhao Jie over there was also full of joy.
I thought that my father would let me be a pioneer, but I didn't expect Zhao Wei to say a word, which made everyone present dumbfounded.
"Pass on my military order. My son Zhao Jie will stay in Jianning City with his troops and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses will light a fire with me at three o'clock and have breakfast at five o'clock. The whole army will follow me back to Yunnan!" Zhao Wei told everyone Totally unexpected answer. (to be continued..)
