Watching Yang Ping unable to stop himself, he shot arrows downwards and set fire to the Shu soldiers.
Kang Zaiyu frowned, shook his head and said, "These beasts are really capable of killing our own people."
Ma Renyu was not surprised at all. He was ordered to guard Fengzhou, which was close to the Hanzhong Plain, and had frequent interactions with the Shu people.
I know the situation in Shu very well. All the officials in Shu are greedy, and the soldiers in Shu have no fighting spirit. In other words, the road to Shu is steep, and many passes will become a tough nut for entering Shu, just like the Yangping Pass in front of us.
Yangping Pass is adjacent to Jigong Mountain in the south and Jialing River in the north. The terrain is extremely dangerous. It can reach Sichuan in the south, Lueyang in the north, Yinping in Longnan in the west, and Hanzhong in the east.
During the Three Kingdoms period, this was a military center.
Now it is also the only way to enter the Hanzhong Plain.
Luo Youdu was reminded by Zhao Jizha and noticed Meng Shu's sinister intentions in advance. He deliberately sent Xue Juzheng into Shu and pretended to attack the Southern Han Dynasty.
The Wei army entered the mountains near Fengzhou and waited for Wang Zhaoyuan, "Zhuge Liang" to attack.
According to Luo Youdu's plan, he was to cut off the enemy's rear route and annihilate the incoming Shu troops, thereby depleting the Shu troops and making it easier for their army to enter Shu.
But when Ma Renyu learned about the situation, he gave a different idea.
Ma Renyu was indeed as Wang Zhaoyuan investigated and could not read a single Chinese character.
Even now, Ma Renyu can only read less than a hundred Chinese characters, and he can only write his name smoothly.
Normally, official documents require the assistance of staff members in order to be able to read and understand them clearly.
But only a fool like Wang Zhaoyuan dared to underestimate the generals of this era who climbed out of the battlefield with swords and guns.
Ma Renyu, a rogue, rose to the position of governor. This was achieved through many battles.
It is true that he is illiterate, but the experience accumulated in each life-and-death battle and the tactical level he has honed will not lose to any general with a professional background.
He believed that the Shu soldiers had low combat effectiveness and would never be able to match the Central Plains' hundred-battle division in a head-on confrontation.
Instead of annihilating Wang Zhaoyuan's army, it is better to use his army to attack Pingyang Pass.
In his opinion, defeating 30,000 to 40,000 Shu soldiers was far easier than attacking Pingyang Pass.
Luo Youdu didn't know what the Shu soldiers had fallen into, but Pingyang Pass was dangerous and he had seen it with his own eyes back then.
He chose to trust Ma Renyu's judgment.
After all, he personally arranged for Ma Renyu to be the governor of Fengzhou, and did not insist on his original plan.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed.
Faced with the Shu soldiers crowding under the Pingyang Pass, Wang Zhaoyuan fired arrows and set fire at the Shu soldiers inhumanely, intending to push back the Shu soldiers who crowded into the pass, so that they could take advantage of the trap to enter the pass.
But if Ma Renyu and Kang meet again, will they give him this chance?
The well-trained soldiers squeezed the living space of the Shu soldiers step by step, forcing them to flee towards Pingyang Pass.
Faced with his own robe, it would be fine to kill one person, two people, or ten people...
But no one can bear it if the Shu soldiers on the city tower slaughter their own people by the hundreds.
The soldiers who crowded into Guancheng naturally did not dare to rebel, but they were already heartbroken and fled for their lives.
The morale of the garrison at Guancheng collapsed on its own as they continued to massacre their own people, and they all fled together.
Wang Zhaoyuan's psychological defense line collapsed immediately and he retreated without saying a word.
He originally wanted to escape quietly on his own horse, but found that his mount had been taken away by others, and most of his bodyguards had also fled.
There were only a dozen or so people left, uncertain about each other and wondering whether to run away.
Under such circumstances, Ma Renyu and Kang Zaiyu captured Yangping Pass effortlessly.
After capturing Yangping Pass, Ma Renyu and Kang immediately divided their troops into two groups when they met again.
Ma Renyu led his troops to pursue the Shu soldiers, while Kang Zaiyu led his troops straight to Xingyuan Mansion.
Xingyuan Mansion is a place in Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period...
Ma Renyu knew that most of these Shu deserters who fled back to Shu would be recruited and become their enemy's army again.
Therefore, we will not be lenient when chasing and killing, unless we surrender and be captured...
Killing along the way was like chopping melons and vegetables. The defeated Shu soldiers were almost like lambs, they knew how to run away and had no courage to fight back.
Faced with Ma Renyu's frenzied pursuit, Wang Zhaoyuan lost three souls above his head and six souls beneath his feet. He no longer had the slightest intention to resist, so he just wanted to run to Chengdu...
I ran to Chengdu in one breath and then huddled up.
But as a scholar, how could he compare to a soldier in terms of physical strength?
His bodyguard saw Wang Zhaoyuan, a burden like a dead dog, paralyzed on the ground, and said shamelessly: "I really can't run anymore. Whoever runs on my back can just find me a horse..."
They looked at each other and left him behind in unison.
Wang Zhaoyuan yelled angrily. Hearing the shouts of death behind him, the desire to survive occupied his brain.
At this moment, he didn't care about his style, and rolled forward and crawled forward to escape.
As a strong force came, Wang Zhaoyuan rolled into the ditch next to him and fainted.
Just like this, Wang Zhaoyuan escaped by chance.
When Wang Zhaoyuan woke up, he saw a mess all around and no traces of Central Plains soldiers or Shu soldiers. He was overjoyed and ran to the southwest.
Wang Zhaoyuan was arrogant and conceited, almost stupid, but his knowledge was unquestionable. He almost knew the geography of Shu by heart. Looking at the surroundings, after thinking for a moment, he thought of a village nearby called Wudang Village.
It is said that in the early years, Zhuge Liang was stationed in Hanzhong, and Wudang Feijun was stationed here, hence the name.
Wang Zhaoyuan was tired and hungry, so he ran to Wudang Village and saw that every family in the village was closed, but there was no military disaster.
He didn't care about so many things and knocked on the door of a house at the entrance of the village for a long time, but no one responded.
I knocked on several more doors, but still no one answered.
Wang Zhaoyuan thought for a while and walked straight to the village. He saw a large square in the village and a big clock at the door of a nearby house. He was overjoyed and knew that this must be the residence of the village chief.
He knocked hard on the door, but when there was still no answer, he opened his mouth and said, "The Prime Minister Wang Zhaoyuan pays my respects..."
His reputation is really useful. Before he finished speaking, the door opened.
Wang Zhaoyuan was about to speak again.
A young man rushed out of the room and knocked Wang Zhaoyuan to the ground with a blow from the rolling pin in his hand.
The young man spat at Wang Zhaoyuan who was on the ground and cursed: "A guy like you is still comparing yourself to the prime minister?"
If nothing else, Zhuge Liang's prestige in Shu is unparalleled.
"Father, these are the bastards who caused our village to sell their sons and daughters to make ends meet. The boy tied him up and went to General Ma to collect the reward?"
The young man's name is Liao Kai and he is the son of the village chief of Wudang Village. Half a day ago, Ma Renyu's subordinates came to Wudang Village in person, found the village chief, explained the situation to them, and emphasized that the Central Plains army entered the country only for the sake of the world.
Unification has no intention of harming and disturbing the people.
The defeated soldiers of Shu are scattered in all directions. If you are attacked by defeated soldiers of Shu in the village, you can go to the military camp for help.
If you find looting by Central Plains soldiers, you can also go to the military camp to complain.
Regardless of whether it can be done or not, the fact that the Central Plains Army can send military officials to inform them has already shown its sincerity.
Compared to Shu officials who didn't care about their lives or lives, the Central Plains left a good impression on them.
Wang Zhaoyuan woke up slowly, looked around, and found that he was in a military tent.
There was no one inside the tent, but there were six soldiers in neat clothes and armor standing outside the tent. Judging from their attire, it was obvious that they were soldiers from the Central Plains.
Wang Zhaoyuan instantly understood his situation. Thinking of the young man's rolling pin, he felt sad in his heart. He thought to himself: "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child. I didn't want to lose to an illiterate man and be captured by an ignorant villager. I am so embarrassed."
It’s evil…”
Thinking of this sadness, he burst into tears.
Tears fell like rain...
Ma Renyu strode into the camp, looked at Wang Zhaoyuan who was crying, and was startled, and said an eternal famous saying: "This Zhuge Liang is full of juice!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter around him.
Wang Zhaoyuan was so angry that he was so angry that he wished he could learn the ostrich's ability of burrowing into the ground and burying his head.
Zhuge Liang's story spread throughout Bashu and the world along with Wang Zhaoyuan's disastrous defeat...
Meng Xuanzhe who lives far away in Chengdu is indeed much better than Meng Chang.
Young and energetic, he changed the bad policies that Meng Chang had not been good at for a long time.
He goes to court every day and handles Sichuan and Sichuan government affairs conscientiously.
He summoned officials and prime ministers every day without interruption, hoping to change the many bad policies left by Meng Chang and prepare for a drastic reform.
But the Sichuan-Shu court was rotten to the core, and all officials in high positions were not greedy.
It’s not that there are no upright officials in Shu, it’s that the style of upright officials cannot satisfy Meng Chang’s luxurious life.
It was impossible for Meng Chang to let such a person stay in the court. He had long been demoted to a barbarian land to deal with the mountain people.
Over this long period of time, a huge chain of interests has been formed among officials.
Meng Xuanzhe's attempt to break this chain of interests with his blood and courage is undoubtedly a fool's errand.
All the prime ministers and officials who took a lot of money deceived Meng Xuanzhe as a fool.
Meng Xuanzhe still enjoyed it, thinking that since he was not greedy, he was better than his father Meng Chang.
But in fact, the large portion originally given to Meng Chang now all fell into the hands of temple officials.
How can these moths care about the life and death of the people?
He issued a series of brand-new decrees, further increasing the burden on the people.
Meng Xuanzhe got up at four o'clock in the morning to work, and did not stop until dusk to rest and look at the memorials he was working on.
The new ruler of Sichuan and Sichuan thought to himself, everyone said that Luo Youdu, the emperor of the Central Plains, was diligent and handled state affairs every day up to the time of Shen Shi. Compared with himself, what is nothing?
Just waiting for the news that your husband has entered Guanzhong, the world will be shocked.
Let the world know that Meng Xuanzhe of Sichuan and Sichuan is no worse than Luo Youdu.
Meng Xuanzhe was eager to hear the news of Wang Zhaoyuan's triumphant return...
Until Zhao Chongtao, the guard of Jianmen Pass, received the news that Wang Zhaoyuan was defeated across the board, Yangping Pass was lost, Xingyuan Mansion was captured by the Central Plains, and Wang Zhaoyuan's whereabouts were unknown.
Meng Xuanzhe was completely stunned.
impossible!
impossible!
Mr. Zhuge Liang is the contemporary Zhuge Liang, how could he be defeated...
And it was such a complete defeat!
But he didn't know that this Zhuge Liang was very...
