Chapter 42 The bloody city

In the central army's tent, the atmosphere was heavy and a little depressed. Ye Zhaomo knelt behind the table without saying a word, his face looked a little ugly.

At the beginning of his attack, Qiu Chi looked a little anxious, Gao Sheng's eyes rolled around, Guan Hai and Ding Li stood next to Ye Zhao with expressionless faces, and Meng Hu stood in front of Ye Zhao, with a bad look on his face.

After entering the city, three days after the massacre of the city, the county magistrate Liu Mao and a group of county officials and guards were hung on the walls of Macheng to show their power. The Macheng gate was closed, but the blood could not seep out from the gaps in the city gate. Outside the four gates of Macheng, a capital official was erected by the heads of the people. Even now, the sergeant who went to inquire could still hear the crying and screaming from the city from afar, which was particularly terrifying, like a ghost city.

"Meng Sima." After a while, Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao's face before looking at Meng Hu and said, "Did the whistle detective see the head of Sun De?"

"Never!" Meng Hu shook his head: "It's strange that there are many county officials and even lieutenant generals in Macheng, but there are only Sun De's head. It seems that he has escaped."

Qiu Chi's expression changed, and he turned to look at Ye Zhao and said, "My lord, the situation is not good. Sun De's battle is unfavorable and retreats before the battle, which led to Liu Mao's death. Although this person is incompetent, he is afraid that he will go to the Zhonglang General to make trouble in order to shirk responsibility. This person is the person selected by Zhonglang General himself. He should be deeply trusted by Zhonglang General. If he is allowed to provoke successfully, he may make Zhonglang General hate his lord."

"Holy, what does this have to do with us?" Guan Hai glared at him and said unhappily: "It's him that Sun De is afraid of the war, but he wants to blame his lord. How could Old Liu Yan be so stupid?"

Qiu Chi's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "People in charge of their words."

Liu Yan was not only the prefect of Zhuo County and the general of the Central Army, but also the elder brother of today, a relative of the Han Dynasty and a person who commanded the royal family. He had great authority. If Guan Hai's words were spread, they would inevitably cause trouble.

Guan Hai glared at him dissatisfiedly, Qiu Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is a difference between relatives and alienation. Since ancient times, the General of the Zhonglang is not a saint. In addition, Sun De is from Luoyang, and he must have some connections if he can win the favor of the General of the Zhonglang. What's more, in Youzhou, people who are dissatisfied with the lord are like the governor Guo Xun and the prefect of the County Guo Yi. He has the lead at this time. If these people unite, the General of the Zhonglang will not be able to visit the border in person, so he will naturally be easily deceived by him."

When everyone heard this, their faces became even more ugly, especially Guan Hai, who wanted to capture Sun De and cut him into pieces. Ye Zhao had caused Ma Cheng Dazhi in the past two years, but not only attracted many people's eyes, but also directly affected the interests of Guo Xuan and others. Now that this happened, there would be no good things to say when Liu Yan went to Liu Yan.

If there was only Sun De, it would be fine if they were afraid that these people would join forces to give Ye Zhao eye medicine. At that time, it would not be Ye Zhao's business, and they would also be guilty of false charges.

"Bang!" Ye Zhao suddenly slapped the table hard with a fierce palm. The table made by Jianmu was slapped by Ye Zhao.

"Two years of hard work, but all the incompetent people were destroyed in one go. This person is really hateful! He should be punished!" Ye Zhao vomited a few sips of turbid breath and cursed angrily.

Everyone was shocked by Ye Zhao's sudden outbreak. These people had been with Ye Zhao for at least two years. This was the first time they saw Ye Zhao so angry. Whether it was Mohan's attack or Liu Mao was sent to pick fruits, Ye Zhao was calm and calm. He had never seen Ye Zhao get angry about anything.

Hearing Ye Zhao's venting anger and thinking about the current miserable situation of Macheng, Qiu Chi and others couldn't help feeling unspeakable. They said that Macheng, from a small town with a population of only 3,000 to a top county in Youzhou, with a population of over 10,000 households and a gathering of merchants, they all seemed to be getting prosperous.

Now, a military disaster has ruined their two years of hard work. More importantly, it would be fine if the enemy was too strong and cunning to lose Macheng. But in fact, Macheng had no need to suffer this catastrophe. With Macheng's troops, they could be completely defended, but because Sun De was afraid of fighting and abandoning the city, Macheng fell one day. Now they may be hated by Liu Yan because of this person. It is no wonder that Ye Zhao, who has always been happy and angry, has lost his composure.

"My lord, the most urgent task is to regain Macheng as soon as possible. If He Lian can be killed, even if he is the General of the Central Army, he may not be able to suppress this achievement." Qiu Chi hurriedly bowed to Ye Zhao.

Originally, the fall of Macheng had little to do with protecting the Wuhuan Captain's Army. Macheng's failure was not because they did not save it, but because Macheng fell too quickly and could not be rescued in time.

But in many cases, you don’t have the right to make sense, and sometimes, you don’t have to travel all over the world if you have reason.

Ye Zhao nodded silently, looked at everyone and said, "Meng Hu."

"exist!"

"You bring a soldier and dig a trapped horse pit near Macheng overnight without covering it, but there must be enough. I want Xianbei war horses and can't walk half a step out of this Macheng." Ye Zhaosenran said.

"Here!" Meng Hu took the order and left.

"Lord, now Helian occupies the city. With the grain stored in Macheng and the grain stored by the people, there are tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers in the city, and those grains are enough for them to eat for a year. Although the trap of horse pit is useful, if Helian cannot defend it, no matter how many traps there are, it will be useless." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao in confusion. The biggest role of the trap of horse pit is used to deal with cavalry, but if Helian closes the city gate and does not go out, then what's the use of trapping horse pit?

"I built this Macheng. When I was building Macheng, I dug a secret passage that could lead directly to the hills north of the city. I dug this secret passage to prevent one day Macheng from being surrounded. People can be sent out of the city for help, and if necessary, they can also be used to escape." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said slowly: "Now, it can be used to do some other things."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp. Qiu Chi thought for a moment and said excitedly: "The lord is really a god. With this secret passage in hand, as long as He Lian doesn't notice it, the soldiers in the city wall of Macheng will destroy He Lian's tomb."

"What does it mean?" Guan Hai looked at Qiu Chi in confusion, and looked at Ye Zhao again: "Does he want to lead his army to secretly attack into Macheng from now on?"

"Sneak attack?" Ye Zhao sneered: "I am not ready to use the lives of my soldiers to add to the lives of these dogs. I want them to come out and die by themselves! I will send someone to inform Li Xing that if you cannot arrive within three days, you will use military law to deal with it!"
