Chapter 947: Yan Liang, is he really the master of his life?
Previously, Sima Yi clearly told Zhang Chunhua that he would concentrate all his forces and break out of the encirclement from the north.
Zhang Chunhua was also convinced and determined to follow Sima Yi to the death and fight his way through the north gate.
But now, after the army had left the city for several miles, Sima Yi suddenly changed his mind and wanted to flee to Luliangkou in the west.
How could Zhang Chunhua not be surprised by this sudden change.
"The road to Luliangkou is dangerous and difficult. Does Your Majesty really want to break out of the encirclement from there?" Zhang Chunhua asked in surprise.
Jia Kui nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It is precisely because Luliang Pass is so difficult that Yan Liang could not imagine it, and His Majesty is even more determined to break out from there."
Zhang Chunhua suddenly realized, and only then did he realize that Sima Yi had made up his mind to break out from Luliangkou from the beginning, but claimed that because of his escape from the north gate, even his wife had kept it a secret until the last moment.
Sima Yi's scheming in the city is indeed so profound that it is impossible to understand.
Zhang Chunhua did not dare to ask any more questions, so he followed Jia Kui, escorted by hundreds of fine cavalry, and took his two sons away from the large army and headed west.
Because Zhang Chunhua was at the rear of the team, his departure did not attract the attention of the large army. The tens of thousands of sergeants, officials and family members were not aware at all that their emperor and empress had left them.
After running for several miles, we suddenly heard a loud killing sound from the north. We could vaguely see thousands of troops pursuing them, and a fierce fighting was taking place.
"Yan Liang is indeed a fraud and saw through our surrender plan." Jia Kui frowned secretly and sighed.
Zhang Chunhua was also frightened, so he thought that if she left the main force in time, otherwise the Chu army would catch up with her, and the lives of those in the rebel army would be at risk.
After sighing, Jia Kui raised another sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Even though Thief Yan is very cunning and deceitful, it's a pity that Your Majesty is more skilled, so Thief Yan still failed in the end."
When Jia Kui succeeded in his conspiracy, he thought that Sima Yi had defeated Yan Liang's ingenuity, completely forgetting that Sima Yi was defeated by Yan Liang in repeated battles.
"But if we leave, won't those tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians..." Zhang Chunhua looked worried, staring eastward with his mouth slightly open.
"Without those people to attract the Chu army, how could your Majesty and the empress escape to Yanmen smoothly? Those people all sacrificed themselves for the Jin State, and they deserved their death." Jia Kui sighed, but there was no trace of compassion on his face.
meaning.
Zhang Chunhua's plump body trembled, and she bit her lip secretly, as if she couldn't believe that Sima Yi actually achieved his goal of escaping by sacrificing his own people just like Liu Bei.
"Most of those who sacrificed their lives were untouchables and untouchables. Why should Mother Queen sympathize with them? Let's hurry up and catch up with Father King." Master Sima was quite disdainful, and his words showed contempt for those soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives.
Zhang Chunhua sighed slightly, dispelling the unhappiness in his heart, and followed Jia Kui to continue walking quickly to the west.
To the north, a fierce fighting is indeed going on...
To be more precise, it should be a massacre.
More than 100,000 Chu troops came in pursuit, and the rolling tide of troops crashed into the frightened Jin army.
The iron hoofs crushed them, swords and spears chopped them off, and their flags flew like the wind. Wherever they passed, tens of thousands of Jin troops were easily torn into pieces. They were killed until ghosts cried and wolves howled, and corpses littered the fields.
Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren, Jiang Wei and other generals all led their troops and madly harvested heads, constantly updating their merit books and earning additional food fiefs for themselves.
Yan Liang, the emperor of the Chu Dynasty, had clear rewards and punishments. A head was a reward. Who would think that he had too much money?
When the world is unified, it is the time when the troops and flags are laid down. It is also the day when the generals get off their horses and enjoy the glory and wealth earned by fighting for half their lives. The generals all want to seize this last opportunity to provide for their future retirement.
time, earn more wealth and land.
The generals were red-eyed, killing like crazy, searching for Sima Yi's whereabouts. If they could kill the emperor of Jin, or even capture him alive, it would be such a huge achievement, and he would become a county prince, and he would be honored by the emperor for generations.
Motivated by such huge benefits, everyone worked bravely. The soldiers of Dachu did not need to be encouraged, and they all killed each other until they were almost crazy.
Although the Chu army won a great victory near the north gate and fought until rivers of blood flowed, the generals did not know that Sima Yi had already taken the lead. He took his wife and children, abandoned the large army, and fled towards Luliangkou.
The sky was getting brighter, and a ray of morning light came from the east. The fine morning light gradually illuminated the bloody battlefield.
Twenty miles northwest of Jinyang City, an army of less than 10,000 people was walking silently. The farther away from Jinyang City, the higher the terrain and the more bumpy the road underfoot.
Sima Yi, dressed in golden armor, was stationed on a hillside, looking north from a distance.
Under the morning light, the sky for several miles was filled with strong blood. Under the morning light, it became even more bloody and terrifying.
"Oh, those are my people and soldiers. If it weren't for the Great Jin State, how could I have the heart to leave you behind..." Sima Yi looked sad and sighed secretly.
Suddenly, he felt that what he was doing was a bit like Liu Bei, who was benevolent on the surface but unscrupulous in reality.
Now that Liu Bei has fled to Goguryeo, his original reputation for benevolence and righteousness has long been destroyed. Now everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei is a hypocrite.
He, Sima Yi, established himself as emperor and claimed to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. But now, he, who claimed to be benevolent and righteous, left tens of thousands of soldiers as bait. Isn't this the same as Liu Bei?
"No, Liu Bei was born as a mat weaver and a weaver. He is a hypocrite by nature. How can he, Liu Bei, be compared with me? I am doing this for the sake of the righteousness of the world. Liu Bei and I are definitely not the same person."
In Sima Yi's mind, this thought comforted him and drew a clear line between him and Liu Bei, who was also good at abandoning soldiers to save chariots.
Sima Yi's face turned gloomy again, a sinister smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he snorted: "Yan thief, no matter what, you still fell into my Sima Yi's plan. The first time will be the second time, and one day, I will
I will trample you under my feet and make this world that you stole all come to nothing."
Sima Yi cursed and cursed Yan Liang a few more times, then turned his horse around and prepared to follow the large team and continue towards Luliang Mountain.
Rumble~~
Just as Sima Yi turned around, there was a faint roaring sound in his ears.
The roaring sound came from the south and was approaching quickly, and the ground beneath my feet seemed to be shaking faintly.
The only person in the world who can cause such a shock is large-scale cavalry.
Sima Yi felt a slight chill in his heart and quickly turned around, following the sound and looking from a distance.
Under the morning light, only a vast dust mist can be seen in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, as violent as a sandstorm.
The sandstorm came very quickly. In a short time, it swept several miles away. The terrifying truth of the sandstorm gradually became clear.
When the alarmed Jin troops saw what was coming, they were all so frightened that their expressions changed.
The cavalry is the cavalry of the Chu army!
Moreover, he is also the most elite dragon cavalry guard in the Chu Kingdom!
The Jin army, which numbered less than 10,000, changed color in an instant. Every one of them was frightened and dispersed as if they had seen the impermanence threatening their lives.
"How is it possible? Didn't Yan Thief's army of more than 100,000 go to the north to pursue him? How come there are dragon cavalry guards here?" Sima Yi was also horrified, looking astonished in disbelief.
Suddenly, Sima Yi reacted.
Yan Liang must have seen through his plan and expected that he might escape from the west, so when the army was pursuing the north, he sent the most elite dragon cavalry guards to quickly pursue Luliangkou.
Sima Yi's strategy, one move followed by two moves, is not unwise.
But Yan Liang actually saw his three and four moves, and then struck first. This level of resourcefulness is really unbelievable.
"Withdraw, the army retreats from Luliangkou quickly." Sima Yi suppressed his shock and shouted loudly.
Although the Chu army is elite, they are all cavalry after all. As long as he can successfully escape into Luliang and into the mountains, the Chu army's cavalry will no longer be able to pursue him.
"Your Majesty, the Queen and the two princes haven't arrived yet." Wang Ji, the general, reminded in alarm.
Sima Yi's body trembled, his brows furrowed deeply, and he secretly complained.
He had previously asked Zhang Chunhua to follow the army. He originally wanted to appease the tens of thousands of soldiers and not expose his true intentions. When the army was a few miles out of the city, he quietly asked Jia Kui to pick up his wife and children and calmly pick him up.
.
Who could have expected that the dragon cavalry guards of the Chu army would suddenly arrive, but Zhang Chunhua and his two sons were still several miles away, unable to reach them for a moment.
Now Sima Yi was in trouble.
Just wait for your wife and children. The Chu army's cavalry is chasing after them. I can't resist them at all, and I'm afraid I will be destroyed here.
No, why don't you just leave your wife and children and let them die in the rebellion?
Sima Yi's heart was as sharp as a knife. He didn't have much time to think. The Chu army's dragon cavalry guards were approaching at full speed. In a moment, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
"I can't care about that anymore. Let mother and son take their orders. Let's go first. Let's go quickly!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and made a decision, then turned his horse and left.
A group of Jin troops abandoned their helmets and armor, and like rats crossing the street, they fled towards the Luliang crossing over the mountains and plains.
A moment later, Deng Ai led seven thousand dragon cavalry guards, rolling over like a tide.
"Father, you really know what's going on. Sima Yi is so insidious that he really wants to escape from Luliang Road." Deng Ai was surprised and happy, and he admired Yan Liang very much in his heart.
Seeing the great success ahead, Deng Ai was so excited that he jumped on his horse and danced with his spear, urging his cavalry to fight like tigers and wolves out of the chaotic Jin army.
A wanton massacre began, leaving corpses of the Jin army scattered all over the field, ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The massacre here had just begun. In the wilderness on the east side, Zhang Chunhua and his party were hurriedly walking towards the Luliang crossing.
Just when Zhang Chunhua saw his own flag and thought about joining her husband soon, he suddenly saw countless Chu troops approaching like a tidal wave.
In an instant, Zhang Chunhua and even Jia Kui were all stunned. (To be continued.
