Chapter five hundred and forty-third the life-saving straw of the turtle
Liu Zhang was pleasantly surprised, an unprecedented surprise.
What kind of character is Ma Chao? He is a lion of Xiliang with superb martial arts. In the eyes of the Xiqiang people, he is a powerful figure with the title of "Mighty General".
Although Liu Zhang is known as the lord of a state, in terms of reputation, he is probably not as famous as Ma Chao.
Hearing that Ma Chao had come to surrender, how could Liu Zhang, a country bumpkin in the mountains, not be extremely surprised?
"Ma Mengqi, do you really...really want to surrender to me?" Liu Zhang's voice trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Liu Xun nodded repeatedly: "How dare Yang Huai and the others take false revenge? Ma Chao is indeed planning to surrender to us."
This fact was confirmed again. Not only Liu Zhang, but also Wu Yi and other civil and military officials present were all surprised and excited by it.
"Ma Mengqi is going to surrender to our house. Ma Mengqi is going to surrender to our house. It's great..."
Liu Zhang was so surprised that he couldn't contain his surprise. He was so excited that he got up and walked down the stairs, pacing in the hall, mumbling something to himself.
At this time, Wu Yi jumped up, as if suddenly enlightened, with a face full of surprise.
"Lord, we have a weapon to repel Yan Liang!" Wu Yi shouted excitedly.
Liu Zhang was shocked, turned around hastily, looked at Wu Yi excitedly, and asked Wu Yi urgently if he had any good ideas.
Wu Yi smiled and said: "That Ma Chao is a lion of Xiliang, whose reputation is famous all over the world. He is coming back today, which is really like adding wings to a tiger to my lord. Why don't my lord accept his surrender, treat him kindly, and send him to Fucheng to fight back the enemy?"
, Yi believes that with Ma Chao's Xiliang army and Zhang Ren's elite troops from Shu, they will be able to defeat Yan Liang's dog thief in one fell swoop."
A word that wakes up the dreamer!
Liu Zhang, who was already pleasantly surprised, was naturally overjoyed by Wu Yi's suggestion.
"Well, Ziyuan's words make sense. I have Ma Chao as my arm, so what's the Yan traitor to be afraid of? Ziyuan, I'll help you go to Baishuiguan and accept Ma Chao graciously, and make him surrender without having to return to Chengdu.
Go directly to Fucheng to repel the enemy."
Liu Zhang was so excited that he almost jumped up and made a decision.
So Wu Yi left Chengdu that day, looked north and headed straight for Baishui Pass.
…
Fucheng.
After surrendering a large number of Shu soldiers, the number of Yan Liang's troops attacking Fucheng reached 40,000.
If we add Lu Xun's more than 10,000 troops and the troops left behind in Jiangzhou and other key areas, the number of troops under Yan Liang in Shu has actually reached nearly 60,000.
Of course, this is also related to the low combat effectiveness of the Shu troops and the surrender in batches. The surrender of the Shu troops in an organized manner easily allowed Yan Liang to expand his troops on the spot.
However, 40,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to complete the complete siege of Fucheng. After all, there were still Zhang Ren and 20,000 demoralized Shu troops in the city.
According to Pang Tong's suggestion, Yan Liang set up his main camp in the southwest of Fucheng, and set up a separate camp in the east to form a horn.
After several days of waiting, the fortress has been reinforced, and nearly a hundred Pili vehicles have arrived from the rear to the front line.
On that day, Yan Liang used his usual tactics and used thunderbolt vehicles to launch a shocking long-range fire strike on Fucheng.
With more than a hundred thunderbolt vehicles and stone bullets raining down from the sky, the Shu people in Fucheng witnessed the most terrifying blow in their lives.
The falling flying stones easily smashed the city wall made of earth and stone, causing the gravel to fly and crack everywhere.
The stone bullets that crossed over the wall and shot into the city ruthlessly destroyed the houses near the city wall. Within an hour, the houses along the south gate of Fucheng were razed to the ground.
On top of the ruins, the Shu people were fleeing in terror. What remained, apart from the broken walls, were the unlucky ghosts who had been turned to pulp by stone bullets.
Yan Jun's ruthless stone rain attack lasted for three full days.
After three days of bombardment, the people of Fucheng were completely in despair. No one, including Zhang Ren, had ever thought that the strong city of Fuxian County, which they were proud of, would be attacked by Yan Jun's "terrifying" weapons.
, actually looked so fragile.
Anxious, Zhang Ren had to send people to Chengdu repeatedly to ask for Liu Zhang's assistance.
A few days later, Zhang Ren finally received reinforcements, and they were a reinforcement that made him wildly surprised.
…
Yan Jun camp.
The sky was dawning, and Yan Liang had gotten up early in the morning, put on his armor, and was ready to lead his army to Fucheng.
After several days of bombarding the city, Yan Liang believed that the morale of the Fucheng defenders had been broken. Today, he planned not to play tricks on Zhang Ren anymore, but to take serious action against Fucheng.
Just when Yan Liang was about to step out of the tent, Pang Tong, Fazheng and Zhang Song rushed in first.
There seemed to be something strange on the faces of the several counselors.
Yan Liang could vaguely sense that something unexpected must have happened.
"Looking at the expressions on the three of you, I'm afraid there is some bad news. Tell me." Yan Liang put down his Qinglong Dao and sat down again, with a calm look on his face.
Several people looked at each other, Zhang Song cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Zhang, and the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers he led arrived forty miles northeast of Fucheng today."
Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Zhang?
Yan Liang had to admit that he was slightly surprised when he heard the news.
Liu Zhang's weakness is well known to the world. No matter who it is, someone like Ma Chao, who is so arrogant and arrogant, would choose to surrender to Liu Zhang. I'm afraid everyone would be surprised.
"Although Zhang Lu is not a great leader, he is at least stronger than Liu Zhang. Now Ma Chao has turned his back on Zhang Lu. Could it be that Zhang Lu did something to force him to rebel against Ma Chao?"
His thoughts were racing, and Yan Liang quickly guessed it.
The counselors looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes, as if they were surprised by Yan Liang's judgment.
"My lord, you know what happened. Yes, it was because Zhang Lu killed his father Ma Teng that Ma Chao was so angry that he led his army to give up resisting Cao Cao and went south to join Liu Zhang." Fa Zheng explained the reason.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, his guess becoming more and more certain.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Liang sneered and said, "Zhang Lu is so good that he would kill Ma Teng. Could it be that Yang Songjin is slandering him again?"
As soon as this statement came out, the three counselors were all shocked.
Looking at the surprised looks in the three people's eyes, Yan Liang knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Information about our army's operations in Hanzhong was only sent today. How did my lord know that Zhang Lu killed Ma Teng because of Yang Songjin's slander?"
Even Zhang Song, who prided himself on knowing everything about the two rivers, couldn't help but be shocked by Yan Liang's miraculous judgment.
Yan Liang only said lightly: "This is not easy. With the danger of Hanzhong and the courage of Ma Chao, it will be extremely difficult for Cao Cao to attack by force. With the cunning of Cao Cao and his counselors, they will definitely use it. Zhang Lu's side
There is a villain like Yang Song who is greedy for money. Not to mention Cao Cao, even if he were an orphan, he would definitely make a fuss out of it."
In an understatement, Yan Liang guessed the mystery.
Zhang Song, Fazheng, and even Pang Tong could not suppress the wonder on their faces at this time.
They never thought that Yan Liang not only accurately calculated the cause of Ma Teng's death, but also saw clearly the mastermind behind the scenes.
With such an amazing ability to foresee, in a sense, even if he claims to be able to strategize and defeat Pang Tong thousands of miles away, he has to admit that he falls short.
"My lord, you are really..." Pang Tong was in awe, and he didn't know how to describe his admiration for Yan Liang.
Faced with the exclamations of the counselors, Yan Liang just smiled.
Of course they don't know that Yan Liang, as a time traveler, has a foresight plug-in.
In the novel, Cao Cao captured Hanzhong from the south, and Ma Chao defected to Liu Zhang because of Zhang Song's slander.
Yan Liang's judgment today is just based on what he already knows.
"I heard that the people who followed Ma Chao to surrender to Liu Zhang this time included not only himself but also his general Pang De and his cousin Ma Dai. No matter what, Ma Chao and his 10,000 Xiliang troops are not easy to deal with."
Zhang Song was quite afraid of this.
Yan Liang only snorted coldly and said with a wave of his hands: "In the battle of Wancheng, the Xiliang cavalry with more than 40,000 horses, Gu didn't take it seriously, let alone now, this time, Gu completely dealt with him
.”
Yan Liang stood up suddenly, with strong self-confidence and hunting murderous aura, surging out.
The several counselors in front of the tent were quickly infected by Yan Liang's self-confidence, and their initial fears disappeared in an instant.
…
Ten miles northeast of Fucheng.
In the afternoon, the ten thousand mighty Xiliang Army finally appeared in Fucheng's field of vision.
The big flag with the character "horse" fluttering in the breeze of the mountain.
The reinforcements from the Xiliang Army finally arrived.
The Shu troops at the top of Fucheng all cheered for it. Even Zhang Ren finally relaxed his frown at this moment.
Jin Machao, who was so powerful in Guanlong, and the Xiliang Army, which made all the princes in the world change their minds, such a brutal reinforcements had arrived, so what should Yan Liang have to fear?
When the news came, the panic-stricken Fucheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. People in the streets and streets were talking about Ma Chao's reputation. The people of Shu were already talking about how to welcome the mighty general into the city after repelling Yan Liang.
Five miles away from the city and going to the stronghold, the Xiliang army formed a horned force with Fucheng.
Ma Chao, wearing iron armor, carrying a silver gun, and riding a white horse, patrolled the terrain near Fucheng, surrounded by dozens of horsemen.
As brave as Ma Chao, he even approached Yan Ying several miles away to personally observe the enemy's strength.
No matter at any time, Ma Chao's face with distinct features was always occupied by arrogance and coldness.
"Ahead is the camp of Thief Yan. According to my scouts, Yan's army currently has nearly 40,000 troops. However, the lord will soon send another 10,000 reinforcements from Chengdu to Fucheng. Coupled with the bravery of General Meng Qi,
, and these ten thousand Xiliang warriors, it will be easy to defeat the Yan thief."
Wu Yi, who was following him, talked confidently about the future war.
Ma Chao looked cold and arrogant as usual, looking at Yan Ying's starry eyes full of contempt.
It seemed that tearing Yan Liang apart was as easy as a piece of cake for him.
However, no one could realize that beneath Ma Chao's confident surface, there was some guilt hidden.
At this moment, what comes to Ma Chao's mind is the scene of Wancheng's defeat. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
