Two hundred and sixty-five, those who know current affairs are Junjie
The Tang Dynasty, Xingyang City.
Finally, the month-long siege ended. Fang Li comforted the frightened Mi Yue, Yu Ji and Da Qiao, and finally had a good night's sleep.
The people of Xingyang who survived the crisis quickly resumed their daily routines and various vendors and shops became active again. When they met an acquaintance, they could not help but brag about their heroic performance.
The soldiers also got a whole morning holiday, and did nothing but sleep, just like their tired generals.
During the Battle of Xingyang, more than 20,000 defenders of the Tang army died in battle, and more than 3,000 minor and serious injuries were not large. However, most of the equipment to defend the city was damaged, which made Fang Li feel very painful.
It was not until halfway through Shen Shi that Fang Li yawned out of the warm quilt, and then stayed with Mi Yue, who was wearing a big belly for a while before slowly returning to the front hall.
When he stepped into the front hall, Fang Li's lazy and lazy look disappeared in an instant, and his eyes became sharp again. The civil servants and military generals who stayed in Xingyang were already waiting here early. When Fang Li came out, he bowed his hand to salute.
Waving his hand to signal that Duoli didn't need it, Fang Li glanced around majesticly and suddenly smiled: "Thank you all this month."
The civil and military officials did not dare to do anything, and their expressions were much relaxed.
"Although the siege of Xingyang was resolved, the battle was not over yet." Fang Li spread out the map and signaled everyone to step forward. "Once Zhao Yong knew about the victory in Xingyang, he would immediately send troops to Wei State. Wei Wuji would immediately react and be deceived, and Xiaozhi was in danger."
"What's the difficulty!" Lu Bu waved his hand, "Lord, give me a soldier, I will go into Daliang and rob Mr. Xiaozhi back!"
Xu Huang, Dian Wei and others also nodded repeatedly, and were eager to try.
Fang Li was funny and reached out to press Lu Bu's arm down: "Wei State wants to fight, but we can't let you fight alone."
Seeing that Lu Bu was puzzled, Fang Li pointed to the map and explained: "Before Wei Liao arrived in Xingyang, I had already sent a letter to Ju Yi and Yan Liang of Chiyang in his letter, and ordered them to lead five thousand elite soldiers to come. Now it should be almost here."
"Chiyang and Jiangguan?" Xu Huang suddenly realized, "Jin and Wei are no longer able to advance troops, and these two places can indeed send troops to support them."
Fang Li nodded. Since the last time the three families attacked Jin, Ju Yi and Yan Liang, two generals, had written several times to say that they would be transferred to the front line, but they always had no chance. Now that they can finally show their skills, they are all very excited.
Gongsun Yan touched his beard and suddenly smiled, "Does the lord plan to pursue him while he is winning?"
"It's right to take advantage of the victory, but it's not chasing." Fang Li drew a straight line on the map and pointed directly at Daliang. "Wei Liao's 30,000 lonely soldiers don't plan to mess with them, so let them go back to Daliang and leave it to Zhao Yong for a headache. Our army just needs to fall behind far away and slowly attack the city and capture the village."
Gongsun Yan frowned thoughtfully: "Forgive me to say something wrong, do you want to destroy the Wei Kingdom in one fell swoop?"
"The rabbit is still biting people when it's anxious. I don't have that much appetite." Fang Li rubbed his fists, "You can only retract your fists and clean up the fire!"
Everyone was discussing, and the personal soldiers outside the hall suddenly came to report that Ju Yi and Yan Liang had arrived in Xingyang and were temporarily placed in the military camp in the city.
Fang Li was overjoyed and immediately took the generals to the military camp.
When the king and his ministers met, they naturally exchanged greetings. After a long story short, Fang Li ordered Liu Feng to lead 4,000 soldiers to stay in Xingyang, and personally led 20,000 troops, and took Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Gongsun Yan, and the newly arrived generals Ju Yi and Yan Liang to rush to the Wei territory.
When Wei Liao's army was five days away from Daliang, the news of Xingyang's defeat finally reached Weis's ears. Guo Xin, who received the news of the fast horse, led 20,000 tiger and wolf cavalry to cross the border of Zhao and Wei immediately, and went to Qinghe, Guantao, and Wei County. He drove the Wei army's prisoners to the city of Yecheng and forced them to attack the city for the vanguard.
Guo Xin had the same idea as Fang Li, and did not expect to destroy a country with 20,000 elite cavalry, but he wanted to expand territory for Zhao State in the most limited time.
Weis was furious when he learned the news. He sent five messengers to order Wei Liao to return to Daliang quickly. At the same time, he was angry and wanted to kill Fa Zheng to vent his hatred, but was stopped by Wei Wuji and just locked him in prison again.
Wei Wuji reacted and was deceived. He was furious but helpless. He once wanted to approve of Weiss' killing of people, but in the end he had reason. He knew that he could never anger Fang Li anymore, so he had to keep the people in check.
Fang Li and his group did not hurry or slow down. They met with Ma Zhong's small troops on the Tang and Wei border seven days later. Only then did they learn that the Wei army had run away one-third, and Wei Liao had only more than 20,000 people left.
"At the same time, I also learned from the defeated soldiers of the Wei army that the army of Governor Cao had crossed the Yellow River again, and had already passed through the pass and killed the generals and had already arrived in Tongcheng!" Ma Zhong looked very excited, "If the Zhao army and Yan army were in full force at this time, it would be possible that they would directly destroy Jin!"
"Meng De's 50,000 troops are still a little short. I have to find a way to give him more support." Fang Li touched his chin and suddenly thought of the Wei Kingdom, which was already in danger, and he had plans to think of him.
Calculate the time, Wei Liao's troops should have arrived at Daliang at this time. Fang Li did not care anymore and rushed all the way to kill the city of Sozao on the border of Wei for two days.
The defender of the Sourzao was only five thousand, and the stubborn and arrogant general was even more arrogant than Wang Liao. When he saw the Tang army besieging the city, he chose to lead his troops out of the city to fight in anger. As a result, Xu Huang was chopped off his horse with an axe and his head was different.
After taking down the sour jujubes with no effort, Fang Li's army was very fast, and the army did not stop at all and killed them all the way. In three days, they went to the bottom of Daliang City like chopping melons and vegetables.
After returning to Daliang, Wei Liao rectified the city defense under Weis orders, recruited strong men around Daliang City, and at least gathered 30,000 troops and horses together with the civilians.
Although Fang Li and others suffered a lot of losses, their subordinates were less than 20,000, because they had no intention of breaking through the beam in one fell swoop, and they did not carry heavy siege equipment. Seeing the Wei army in the city, they simply set up camp within the sight of the defenders on the city tower, and outside the range of the crossbow range, for fear that the other party would not see it.
Although Weis was panicked, he knew that it would be impossible to take down his Daliang City with just 20,000 Tang troops. Fang Li must have another intention, so he sent Wei Wuji to the Tang camp to find out what Fang Li wanted to do.
"Remember, if you can bow your head, you should bow your head. As long as you can protect the Wei Kingdom, your face is irrelevant." Weiss sincerely gave Wei Wuji, "I will give you permission, no matter whether it is military capital or city, as long as you think you can agree, you can agree directly!"
