The five thousand Shu troops commanded by Li Yan were like a sharp blade, penetrated into the back of the barbarian army.
If Meng Huo had a little hope of turning defeat into victory in the face of Yan's counter-siege, then now all his hopes were shattered by Li Yan's turnaround.
More than 30,000 barbarians collapsed and fled in scattered.
The Yan army from all over the country was wantonly killing the barbarian soldiers, and thousands of soldiers even rushed to the hillside where Meng Huo was located.
"This damn Li Yan, he should betray him at the last minute. What a waste Liu Zhang, you have raised a group of ministers!"
The shocked and angry Meng Huo could only use his sarcasm and curse to vent his dissatisfaction.
The barbarians on both sides were already shocked by the defeat, and they were all frightened and panicked.
"King, Li Yan rebelled, our army is in chaos, and we can't fight again today. The overall situation is the most important thing, so let's retreat first." Yong Kai, panicked, persuaded anxiously from the side.
At this point, Meng Huo had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat with hatred.
On the hillside, the banner of the "Da Yue Kingdom" was retreating. Under the escort of thousands of personal guards, Meng Huo rushed down the hillside and retreated all the way south.
...
The setting sun sets west, the bloody setting sun shines on the bloody earth.
Yan Liang stayed on the top of the mountain, and looked around and there were countless corpses all over the mountains.
The bold wild dogs and the crows above their heads have begun to enjoy the delicious food on the ground.
Nearly half of the more than 30,000 barbarian troops were annihilated, and more than 3,000 other were captured, and only more than 10,000 barbarian troops escaped by chance.
Under the hillside, all three thousand captured barbarians knelt on the ground, while more than a dozen swordsmans lined up from left to right, beheading their heads one by one.
Yan Liang still wanted to keep all three thousand barbarians and kill them all.
The barbarians have no faith and always surrender and rebel again. Now Yan Liang wants to kill as many barbarians as possible, and weaken the male population of the barbarians as much as possible until they are powerless to rebel.
Under the hillside, Li Yan rode his horse up the mountain alone and came to pay homage to Yan Liang.
When he saw the scene of beheading in line, Dasheng couldn't help but be curious and asked why the Yan army soldiers on both sides were like this.
The soldiers' responses were simple:
My Lord said that if the barbarians don’t accept it, they will kill until they accept it!
"Liu Zhang bowed to the barbarians and threw away the Han'er's face. However, Yan Dasima was merciless to the barbarians. This is my true Han hero."
In Li Yan's heart, he couldn't help but admire Yan Liang more and more, and he secretly lamented that his change of favor was indeed a wise choice.
When he was admiring in his heart, Li Yan rushed up the mountain and headed straight to Yan Liang's car.
"Zhengfang, you are indeed a person who believes in words and makes great contributions to isolating." Yan Liang rushed forward and laughed happily.
Li Yan got out of the horse and said, "I will pay my respects to the lord," Li Yan, the last general."
Yan Liang jumped off the horse, smiled and helped Li Yan up, and said happily: "I am not happy to be in Yizhou, but I am happy to be in the right place."
This sentence only moved Li Yan so much that he almost burst into tears.
He was a talented person but was not valued for a long time. Only then did he be employed by Liu Zhang, but he was humiliated by the barbarians with Liu Zhang.
Now, he is hitting the wall everywhere, but he is praised by Yan Liang, who is so powerful.
At this time, Li Yan, how could he not be flattered and moved to the point of being unable to restrain himself?
So excited, at this moment, there were only four words left in Li Yan's mind:
Finally met the wise master.
"Zhengfang, you must be aware of the coalition forces of Liu Zhang and Meng Huo. I am the only one who can eliminate these two thieves this time. I wonder what good ideas do you have?" After several comforts, Yan Liang's topic turned on the right track.
Li Yan said without hesitation: "Liu Zhang is already a dog with a family of wreckage. There are only two generals Zhang Ren and Ma Chao left by his side. And these two are quite conflicting. Liu Zhang's troops are not afraid of this. Now the lord leads his army south, and the most important enemy is Meng Huo, the barbarian thief."
Yan Liang nodded slightly and signaled Li Yan to continue speaking.
Li Yan was appreciated by Yan Liang and was very interested in making a big deal, so he immediately started talking nonsense.
"Meng Huo is a thief, arrogant and unscheming. It is not difficult to defeat him, but it is difficult. Once Meng Huo is defeated, he will definitely flee to Nanzhong. The mountains in the south are high and the rivers are far away, and the barbarians are distributed among the mountains. If the road is wiped out, I don't know how long it will take. If it is ignored, the lord's army will retreat and Meng Huo will gather again, which will be a headache."
Li Yanguo is worthy of being both wise and brave. Such analysis is exactly the same as Yan Liang's previous concerns.
"With the view of the righteous side, how will I completely quell the rebellion of the Southern Yi?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Yan smiled and said, "This matter is easy. Yan thought that the lord should not rush to advance, but gave Meng Huo a breather and used the method of agitating the generals to induce him to transfer all the barbarian troops in the south to the north. At that time, the barbarian soldiers gathered together, and the lord could annihilate them in one fell swoop. In this way, the seven counties in the south will be pacified if they are not conquered."
Li Yan's plan suddenly reminded Yan Liang.
Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, suddenly remembered a period of history.
In history, the ten Western Liang princes in Guanzhong rebelled. Cao Cao lured all 100,000 Western Liang troops to the front line of Tongguan by stationing troops, and then decided to fight.
Li Yan's strategy for dealing with the Southern Barbarians is similar to Cao Cao's counterparts against the Western Liang army.
Yan Liang pondered for a long time, murderous intent burst out from his eagle's eyes and sneered: "The right dialect is reasonable, good, I will do what you say. Let's lure all the southern barbarians, eliminate them together, and eliminate future troubles forever."
...
Flee in panic.
Meng Huo and his remaining soldiers were thrilling. They fled south all the way, forty miles away in one breath, and fled back to the coalition camp.
When Meng Huo confirmed that Yan Liang did not pursue him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Those barbarians who escaped by chance from the Nan'an battlefield heard that Meng Huo was still there, so they came to gather ants from all directions.
Meng Huo planned to order troops and horses, but he realized that he had lost two generals, including the Three Knots of the Golden Ring and Ah Huilan, and the soldiers had lost as many as 10,000 soldiers.
This means that after the losses of Meng Huo's 50,000 barbarian troops, only more than 15,000 remained after two major battles.
This little force is smaller than Liu Zhang's troops.
Meng Huo, who had lost his troops and generals, returned to the coalition camp, his first thing was naturally to go to Liu Zhang to raise an army to question him.
"Liu Zhang, I kindly send troops to help you deal with Yan Liang, but even if your generals frame me, I will lose my troops and lose my generals. What do you think?" Meng Huo cursed at Liu Zhang.
"What does the king mean?" Liu Zhang was naturally shocked when he heard about Meng Huo's defeat, but he didn't understand why Meng Huo blamed his defeat.
"Liu Zhang, don't pretend to be stupid. Li Yan is your general, but he turned against him at the last minute. And that Pang De is also your general. If these two people hadn't caused trouble, how could this king be defeated by Yan Liang's dog thing?"
Meng Huo found a good step for himself and attributed the reason for his defeat to Li Yan and Pang De.
"Li Yan turned against me?" Liu Zhang was shocked, his whole body shook, almost unable to stand firm.
There is no doubt that this shocking news was another huge blow to Liu Zhang's spirit.
"Li Yan, this kid, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, have a deep personal relationship, and it is not impossible for him to betray his lord. As for Pang De and Ma Dai, the previous generals, were all generals of General Ma. Why did he betray his lord and even counterattacked? It is difficult to explain the reason."
Zhang Ren took the opportunity to point the finger at Ma Chao. His words obviously contained some hint, implying that Ma Chao's loyalty was questionable.
"Pang De and Ma Dai, two people who are greedy and afraid of death, are really hateful!" Ma Chao frowned and immediately showed anger: "Don't worry, lord, once Chao has a chance, he will cut off the heads of these two people with his own hands to make Mingchao's loyalty to the lord."
Ma Chao was also very clever and quickly expressed his loyalty to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang couldn't say anything. At present, Ma Chao's loyalty or not is second. The most important thing is that he has to deal with Meng Huo's inquiry.
In desperation, Liu Zhang could only bow down and smile at Meng Huo.
Meng Huo was so angry that he said angrily: "It is really not worth it for you, the incompetent people, to lose troops and generals. Yan Liang, you can deal with it yourself. I will lead the troops back to Nanzhong immediately."
After leaving behind a sarcasm, Meng Huo left with a slut.
When he returned to his own military tent, the angry Meng Huo made an act of withdrawing his troops back to Nanzhong. No wonder, the five thousand army lost only more than 10,000 left. Even if he didn't know how to fight Yan Liang, what else could he do to fight against Yan Liang?
Just then, the barbarian soldiers suddenly entered outside the tent and presented a box with them. Yan Liang's envoy had just arrived.
Meng Huo was surprised and opened the wooden box, but saw that there was a piece of clothing or a silk book in the box.
"Garland, it's Garland's clothes." Zhu Rong recognized it at a glance, screamed and rushed over.
Meng Huo was reminded by his wife and recognized him. He was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became full of shame and anger.
His daughter's clothes were stripped off and sent to Meng Huo's hands. Do you need to think about Yan Liang's humiliation?
Meng Huo opened the Boxin and took a look. After reading it, his lungs were so angry that they were about to explode.
It was a challenge book full of ridicule and disdain.
Yan Liang was in the book to warn Meng Huo that if he had no courage to fight to the death, he would quickly ask for surrender and present his wife Zhu Rong as a gift for surrender.
"Han Dog named Yan is too much bullying. I will not kill your dog's head personally!"
Humiliated by Yan Liang, Meng Huo was so angry that he immediately dispelled his intention to return to Nanzhong and ordered the Pegasus to return to Nanzhong and then transferred the army to Jianwei to decide life and death with Yan Liang again.
The barbarians on both sides were also angry and called for war, clamoring to kill Yan Liang and even kill all the Han people.
At this time, Prime Minister Yong Kai said, "King, the ability of Yan thief to win is not unrelated to the excellent armor and weapons. His subordinates think that why not transfer the leader of Mulu Cave from Banadong to lead the army north. He has 10,000 elephant soldiers under his command. If you get this strange weapon, why worry about not defeating Yan thief."
Hearing the word "Elephant Soldier", a trace of excitement flashed out from Meng Huo's eyes. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
