Compared with the cheers of the Western Qin Army inside the city, in the Nanman Army camp outside the city, Meng Huo and others' faces were full of bitterness. At this moment, the soldiers and horses that Meng Huo sent to the east and west of the city had already withdrawn and were responsible for the city's attack.
Dong Cha, the general in the east, had a broken arm and was now unconscious, while Jin Huan Sanjie, the general in charge of the west of the city, was directly killed by the enemy, and their soldiers and horses suffered countless casualties. Looking at the east and west sides,
Meng Huo's heart sank to the bottom when the Western Qin army came to kill him. Needless to say, Meng Huo was completely defeated in this battle!
"Your Majesty! Let's withdraw!" Meng Huo's brother-in-law came to see this situation and advised Meng Huo with a bitter look on his face. In fact, he was not willing to end up like this. The one hundred thousand Meng Huo brought out
Nearly 30% of the Southern Barbarian army are the bosses of their Zhu Rong clan, and together with the soldiers and horses of the Mulu clan who arrived earlier, the Zhu Rong clan also invested a lot of effort in this battle. If they just retreat like this, what will happen to the Zhu Rong clan?
It can be said to be a huge blow! But if we don't withdraw and face these Han soldiers and horses, wouldn't all the soldiers and horses be lost here? Not only did they bring this idea, but other Nanman generals also had the same consideration.
This is also the result of the unique lifestyle of the Southern Barbarians. These Southern Barbarian generals are not only generals in the Southern Barbarian army, but also leaders of their respective ethnic groups. The interests of the ethnic groups must be placed first in their hearts.
"Withdraw, withdraw the troops!" Looking at the eyes of the Southern Barbarian generals on the left and right, Meng Huo already knew that even if he refused to order the withdrawal, the chiefs of the various Southern Barbarian ethnic groups would not obey his orders and fight to the death. In desperation, Meng Huo
I can only grit my teeth and give this order to everyone on the left and right!
After hearing Meng Huo's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Meng Huo's brother Meng You was no exception. After all, no one wanted to stay here to fight a battle with no chance of winning. Immediately, all the Nanman generals
He ran down quickly, conveyed Meng Huo's instructions, and soon took the soldiers and horses of his respective tribes to prepare for retreat. As for other tents and the like, who still has that when he is running for his life?
Free time!
Finally, after all this busy work, the remaining Nanman army of less than 50,000 people fled hastily towards the southern Nanman old forest before the Western Qin army arrived. The escape of the Nanman army meant that this time the Meng
The rebellion was provoked and ultimately ended in failure!
However, this does not mean that the battle is over. Under Luo Yang's order, Dian Wei, Wenpin, and Le Jin led the Western Qin army for a short rest in Zhuti City, and soon led the
He led his troops and horses to kill the old forest of the Southern Barbarians, and successfully regained Jianning and other cities and counties. As for why Luo Yang suddenly changed his previous policy of pacifying the south and adopted such tough measures, it was Lu Su and Lu Su who attacked Luo Yang.
It has nothing to do with the advice of Lu Su. After learning the true strength of the Southern Barbarians, Luo Yang and his advisers all had the same view as Lu Su. Such Southern Barbarians must not be allowed to stay! They must be eradicated!
Luo Yang didn't know why Zhuge Liang didn't take action to remove Meng Huo in history, but now the strength of Luo Yang's army far exceeded that of Xi Shu in history. Since what Zhuge Liang was able to do in history, Luo Yang firmly believed that he could do it too!
Sure enough, Meng Huo, who suffered a huge defeat in Zhu Ticheng, only persisted for half a month before he was captured by the Western Qin army that penetrated deep into the old forests of the Southern Barbarians. Dozens of Meng Huo's family were killed by Dian Wei, including
The natal family of Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, is the Zhu Rong clan, as well as the Mulu clan, the Manfang clan, the Duosi clan and the Ugo clan, which are the same southern barbarian clans as the Zhu Rong clan.
The reason why Dian Wei's army was able to pacify the old forest of the Southern Barbarians so smoothly was because Luo Yang had the foresight to tell Dian Wei the characteristics and weaknesses of these Southern Barbarian tribes. Therefore, Dian Wei did not attack the Southern Barbarians like Zhuge Liang did in history.
Old Lin suffered a big loss; secondly, Lu Kai, who had been assisting Zhang Ren in garrisoning Zhuti City for these years, presented Luo Yang with an extremely detailed map of the Southern Barbarian Old Forest. With this map, Dian Wei's army could
It is said that he has avoided many detours and successfully attacked the Southern Barbarians' nests many times. Lu Kai himself was directly appointed as the governor of Yi by Luo Yang because of his contribution to the map.
After completely pacifying the Southern Barbarians, Luo Yang was not in a hurry to leave. Although the Southern Barbarians King Meng Huo was dead, it did not mean that the Southern Barbarians had been completely pacified. In this regard, Luo Yang took the advice of his adviser Pang Tong and ordered the army
It burned for ten days and ten nights in the old Nanman forest, and more than half of the huge old Nanman forest was burned down! Without the cover of the old forest, no matter how cunning the Nanman people are, they probably won't be able to make a big deal out of it.
After temporarily dealing with the Nanman affairs, Luo Yang hurriedly led his army north and returned to Chang'an. The reason why Luo Yang chose to return to Chang'an so eagerly was entirely because a secret letter came from Chang'an: Emperor Liu Xie is dead.

————————————————Dividing Line———————————————————— Xiangcheng is located at the junction of Jingzhou and Yuzhou
, according to the geographical classification, this place should be under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. However, the soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangcheng City now are Sun Wu soldiers and horses from Yuzhou!
Just a few days ago, Sun Wu's troops suddenly sent out troops and attacked Xiangcheng. Because of the sudden incident, even the Western Qin army stationed in Nanyang did not seem to notice the sudden change in Xiangcheng, and Sun Wu's army only captured
After entering Xiangcheng, they were silent and there was no sign of marching to Jingzhou. The Sun Wu army in Xiangcheng completely hid their identity, and even the Western Qin military flag flying above Xiangcheng was not changed. From the appearance
It seems that there is no way to tell that Xiangcheng has changed hands!
The commander-in-chief who led Sun Wu’s army to attack Xiangcheng this time was none other than Sun Wu’s monarch Wuhou Sun Ce! Sun Ce was walking back and forth anxiously in the hall of Xiangcheng City Guards House at the moment, and on the seat next to Sun Ce,
As Sun Ce's most trusted subordinate and brother, Zhou Yu was sipping tea on the ground like an old man, turning a blind eye to Sun Ce wandering around in front of him.
After walking back and forth for a long time, Sun Ce finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned to Zhou Yu and shouted: "Gong Jin! It's been more than ten days! Why hasn't the emperor appeared yet? Is there something unexpected?"
Although it has been more than eight years since he succeeded Sun Jian as the leader of Sun Wu, Sun Ce's impatience has obviously not changed, but Sun Ce has gained an air of majesty as a superior person. Seeing Sun Ce's aura
, Zhou Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showed a satisfied smile, and then said: "Bo Fu, you don't have to worry. So far, we haven't seen the Western Qin army. That means our plan with the emperor has not been discovered by the Western Qin."
! All we have to do next is wait!" Although Sun Ce is the leader of Sun Wu, because of the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, as long as no one else is present, the two of them still call each other by their first names as before.
However, if others are present, Zhou Yu will still abide by the etiquette of a courtier. This is also for Sun Ce's sake.
After having known Zhou Yu for so many years, Sun Ce naturally trusted Zhou Yu's judgment. Even though he nodded, his expression softened slightly. However, this only lasted for a short while. Not long after, Sun Ce became solid again.
He got angry again and started walking back and forth in the hall non-stop.
In fact, it is no wonder that Sun Ce is so impatient. According to the previous agreement with Tian Feng, Tian Feng should have brought the emperor to Xiangcheng to meet him more than ten days ago, but until now, he has not seen half of the emperor.
Shadow! With Sun Wu's current strength, he does not have the ability to provoke the behemoth Western Qin. Therefore, Sun Ce is taking a big risk by attacking Xiangcheng. If Western Qin gets the news, not only Sun Ce will be disgraced.
After escaping back to Yuzhou, Sun Wu was likely to be fully attacked and retaliated by the Western Qin Dynasty! Although Sun Wu had finally recovered a lot of strength over the years, he still could not bear the consequences.
"Gong Jin! Do you think that old man Tian Feng is lying to us?" Sun Ce finally couldn't help it, turned to Zhou Yu and asked: "Could they just use us as a cover, but actually want to
Are you going to defect to Cao Cao?"
Raising his head with a wry smile on his face, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce in front of him and sighed secretly. Sun Ce was not usually such a mother-in-law kind of person. This plan was really too important for Sun Wu! If he could welcome the emperor into the country,
Yuzhou, then Sun Ce will become the top prince in the world! In the name of the Emperor, Sun Ce can officially call on the heroes of the world to attack his enemies! Although the prestige of the Han Dynasty has gradually weakened over the years, the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty after all.
In the world, as long as the Emperor of Han exists, the influence of the Han Dynasty will not be eliminated!
Although Zhou Yu seems to be calm on the outside, how can Zhou Yu be calm in his heart when encountering such a thing? But in front of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu still has to maintain a calm attitude, otherwise, even Zhou Yu will be confused.
So why shouldn't Sun Ce jump up and down in a hurry? In response to Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Impossible! Don't forget, Tian Feng is Yuan Shao's old subordinate and has always been loyal to Yuan Shao. It was Cao Cao who made a sneak attack from behind.
, will cause Yuan Shao to be completely defeated in the battle with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei! Tian Feng hates Cao Cao deeply, how can he lead the emperor to take advantage of Cao Cao? Therefore, in the whole world, we are the only ones who are Tian Feng’s best
Choice!”
"Oh!" In fact, Zhou Yu had already analyzed this truth for Sun Ce when he was in Yuzhou before. But now that Sun Ce was anxious, he had already forgotten Zhou Yu's analysis for him. Besides, even if it was like this
The analysis could not make Sun Ce completely at ease. After all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just what might happen! And just when Sun Ce was about to ask Zhou Yu again, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
"It's coming! It's coming! Brother! They are coming!"
