In the battle of Lucheng, there were 100,000 Liangzhou troops including the Xiqiang people. Even if Dong Yuan's thousands of elite cavalry were added, there were only more than 70,000 soldiers left.
Unable to capture Lucheng, they also defeated military advisor Sima Xiu. In an instant, a sad atmosphere spread throughout the entire Liang army. Seriously speaking, since Dong Wen killed his father to seize the throne, this should be the biggest battle in Liangzhou.
The battle was lost.
Instead of riding a horse, Dong Wen sat in the carriage with King Fu Xun with a sullen face, his expression full of reluctance. What was once a great advantage was now like this.
"King Liang, if you don't gather your troops early next year, you can be one step ahead of the Shu people and attack Lucheng! As long as Lucheng is captured, the Shu dogs will be powerless." King Fuxun's voice was fierce. This time, the Fuxun tribe also suffered heavy losses.
In view of his alliance with Liangzhou, he could only vent his anger on the Shu people.
Unfortunately, after Dong Wen took two sips of wine, he silently glanced at King Fu Xun like he was looking at a fool.
"Even if the common thief is not here, there will be another Shuzhou general in charge. King Fuxun, do you think the common thief will wait for you to gather your troops to attack? No, the common thief has a vicious mind. I'm afraid it won't be long before we wait.
Before spring begins, these two bridgeheads will be used to station troops!"
"We, Liangzhou, have lost the opportunity, do you understand!" Dong Wen's voice was extremely angry. If Lucheng cannot be captured before the winter snow, Liangzhou will fall into a passive position.
This is also the reason why Shuzhou and Liangzhou are fighting for life and death in Lucheng.
For this reason, he originally stationed more than 40,000 troops in these two cities. Unfortunately, the Shu people used a trick to defeat the city.
For a moment, Dong Wen remembered Sima Xiu's last letter. The letter said that he should move the royal capital to Anzhou to temporarily avoid the sharp attack of the Shu people.
Now think about it carefully, how far-sighted Simiao is.
As soon as he thought of this, Dong Wen looked up to the sky, his face full of lamentation.
hold head high--
At this time, the originally stable carriage suddenly swayed violently with the long neigh of the horse. King Fu Xun, who was standing beside him, was about to put his finger into his nostrils when the sudden sway of the carriage caused his nose to bleed.
"What?"
"Lord, there's an enemy attack!" A Liangzhou general came hurriedly on his horse, with a hint of panic in his voice.
Dong Wen got out of the carriage angrily.
It's okay if we can't capture Lucheng. On the way back to Liangzhou, we encountered an ambush.
"Where is the sentry from the former army? Could it be that he is blind?"
"My lord, the sentinels of the former army were all ambushed and killed!"
Dong Wen just wanted to scold his mother. He was in a hurry and thought that the road back to Liangzhou would not change again. However, he never thought that someone would be so brave and come to intercept them regardless of the approaching heavy snow.
No need to think about it, they are only Shu people.
“The civilian thief is still behind—”
Dong Wen paused, suddenly remembered a person, and his face began to look a little frightened.
"Jia Wenlong, I have been waiting for you, Prince Liang."
"Jia Wenlong, military advisor of Shuzhou, has been waiting for King Liang for a long time——"
From all directions, sounds came one after another, penetrating the cold fog and stinging Dong Wen's ears. He jumped out of the carriage in shock, quickly grabbed the gold-plated gun, and looked around cautiously.
It has to be said that the Shu people chose the ambush location extremely viciously, choosing it in a concave channel. The rolling stones blocked the way forward.
Earlier, the horse was neighing, and the wheels of the carriage were hit by rolling stones.
"Archery!"
Before Dong Wen could regain his senses, flying arrows filled the sky, carrying a freezing chill, and rushed into the Liangzhou army formation.
"Listen to my military order, all Liangzhou cavalry camps quickly raised their troops, broke out of the Shu people's ambush, and protected the army as it moved forward." Soon, Dong Wen immediately gave the order.
"My lord, there are Shu cavalry coming from behind! The civilians are not as fast as they are, and many grain carts were destroyed!"
"Damn it!" Dong Wen slammed his gilded gun into the ground. In an instant, he probably understood the intention of this ambush army, which was to hold them back and wait for the winter snow to come. In such a climate, they were bound to be killed.
Some soldiers will die of frostbite.
"The Shu dog's flying arrows are coming again! Bingzhou camp quickly raises its shield!"
…
Shuzhou, Chengdu.
After the tragic rebellion, Wang Yong and his people ran around the city for many days, and finally pacified the people. As the New Year approached, a lively atmosphere slowly enveloped Chengdu again.
An empty room in the backyard of the palace had already been covered with warm mats, and it became a drinking place for the old and the new.
"Come, come, come, let's meet your grandfather." Zhuge laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He held the baby in his arms and carried the wine bowl. He wanted to give the baby a few mouthfuls, but it didn't feel right after thinking about it, so he had to give up.
"Your father is nothing. He is like a monkey after two sips. From now on, your three fathers will teach you that you will never get drunk after a thousand cups of wine."
"Look at me, when I drink, I just pour it into my mouth." After finishing the drink, Zhuge Lai licked his mouth and found that there was something wrong with the taste of the wine. But in his excitement, he didn't bother to find the village woman in the wine shop.
The troops were raised to investigate.
"Lame, does it taste good?" The old scholar suddenly held his hands in his hands and laughed.
"What?"
Chen Datie grinned and pointed at the baby in Zhuge Lai's arms.
Zhuge Lai was startled, and looked down. Unexpectedly, urine had seeped into his swaddling clothes, and it happened to seep into his wine bowl.
"No wonder, it didn't taste right before." Zhuge Lai was not angry, but even happier, "Hey, I just learned how to kick my legs, and I will add wine to my grandfather."
"Okay, if you wait a few more years, I will take you to be a good knight and travel through thirty states in the world."
"Didn't you agree that you would study literature with me?"
"Nothing is right. He is a blacksmith, so I plan to pass on my skills to him."
"I can't believe that old boy Xu Mu has really conquered the country...will he become an emperor?"
"Can't the emperor blacksmith?" Chen Datie said in a dull tone.
"That's right, Xu Mu's bastard is still the chief helmsman?"
"I don't care, whether he is an emperor or a blacksmith, he must study hard. My son Li Poshan is a famous general in the world. I taught him!"
"Xu Zaizi is useless. The three of us can only rely on our eldest grandson." Zhuge Lai agreed.
The swaddled baby in his arms suddenly started crying, probably because of the moisture.
The cry attracted Li Dawan. Li Dawan dragged the stick and beat him angrily, then snatched the baby back and carried it back to the house.
Jiang Caiwei, who was resting in the house, only waited for the baby to come back before she got up in distress and helped change into warm clothes.
"Sister-in-law, the princess, sent information earlier, saying that the lord has won the battle and is preparing to return to Chengdu." Xiaoxiao Fu sat in the room and spoke out the information word by word.
Compared with other teenagers of the same age, the puppy Fu at this time could not wait for his hair to be tied up, so he had already put on his hair and wore a robe.
He reached out his hand and carefully touched the baby's fleshy face.
"Two princesses and sisters-in-law, please rest assured. If someone bullies him in the future, I, Han Xing, will protect him even if I go through fire and water!"
Under the bright light of the lamp, Little Dog Fu's face is serious and persistent.
He rose to prominence during the rebellion, and the young master was born during the rebellion. Vaguely, the fates of the two have already been connected.
Just after Puppy Fu finished speaking, the baby in Jiang Caiwei's arms suddenly let out a milky and joyful laugh.
