In the early morning, there was no wind. The fire on Shenyuan Mountain gradually extinguished, and the burnt smell filled the air and stimulated people's nostrils. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army cleaned the battlefield and buried pots to make rice. The fierce battle throughout the night made them feel victorious.
Feeling a little tired.
The Yellow Turban Army won this battle, annihilating more than 20,000 enemy Xiliang infantry, and the entire 100,000-strong army was defeated in one battle. The elite soldiers among the elite soldiers fell into the camp and suffered hundreds of casualties, and finally fled in embarrassment.
But even if it is a victory, it is a tragic victory. In the battle at the Sheyuan Mountain Pass, the Silver Armored Cavalry lost nearly a thousand people, and the Huangtian Camp lost more than 2,000 people. Even the Heishan heavy cavalry suffered almost minimal casualties on the battlefield with the Xiliang cavalry.
The cavalry also lost hundreds of people. Coupled with the casualties in the battle with Li Ru, the Yellow Turban Army lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!
Qin Yang, who had not slept for almost two days and two nights, looked at the casualty report in his hand and took a deep breath. He did not expect that the army would encounter such a battle just after setting off from Hanzhong. He has not encountered Lu Bu yet, no
They met Zhang Liao's Iron Guards but not Dong Zhuo's arrogant Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It seems that seizing the imperial capital will definitely not be that easy.
"How is the Fuyuan Mountain Pass? Is it still usable?" Qin Yang raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yuanshao, who was silent.
"The fire has not been completely extinguished, and the garrison may be in danger."
Qin Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Even if it is extinguished, there will only be some ruins left. Forget it... All the generals have worked hard. The Houtu Camp and Shenji Camp that just arrived are responsible for the security. The rest of the troops have a good rest.
Bar……"
"Your Highness, brothers, don't be in a hurry to rest..." Qin Yang stretched out and was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting when Guo Jia hurriedly stood up and said.
"Oh? No rest? Is the enemy still moving?" Qin Yang glanced at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia, who had also not slept for two days and two nights, said with dark circles under his eyes and tired eyes: "Your Highness, it is precisely because the enemy thinks that our army is going to rest, so it is the best time for us to attack..."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "Then what do you want?"
Guo Jia came to the march map and drew a diagonal line on it with his finger.
"You mean, raid on Yiyang?!"
"Your Highness, you must be aware! Yiyang is an important town on the south bank of Luoshui River at the foot of Shenyuan Mountain. If we capture Yiyang and advance, our army can approach Luoshui and intimidate the imperial capital. If we retreat, we can use Luoshui as a barrier to hold off the dangers of Shenyuan Mountain and remain invincible."
Land. This is much more advantageous than placing all my army on the undefensible plains."
Qin Yang was moved when he heard this, but then he hesitated and said: "But our army has been fighting fiercely for such a long time and our soldiers are tired..."
Guo Jiayi smiled and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates have found out that the current guard of Yiyang is Zhao Rong, the former imperial assistant left captain. After Dong Zhuo came to power, he sent him to Yiyang as a city guard. He is just a city guard.
He was just a frightened bird. Li Ru was defeated yesterday. Zhao Rong was afraid that taking Li Ru in would lead to an attack from our army, so he didn't dare to open the city gate at all. If His Highness leads our army to attack Yiyang with the power of victory at this moment, we will definitely defeat him in one battle!
"
Seeing Qin Yang lowering his head and thinking silently, Guo Jia thought that Qin Yang didn't believe his tactics, so he said anxiously: "Your Highness, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again! Let's do this, Guo Jia is willing to accompany His Highness to attack Yiyang! All it takes is
With 10,000 heavy infantrymen from the local camp and one hundred thunderbolt chariots from the Shenji camp, we can capture Yiyang!... Your Highness? Your Highness... Oh! Your Highness, wake up, don't sleep, Your Highness... Well, since Your Highness is tired from riding the horse,
It would be enough for Guo Jia to lead the army alone..."
"Uh...ah?! Oh, okay, I'll do as you say, I'll wait for your good news...don't touch me, let me sleep for a while..."
"Uh, as ordered..." Guo Jia looked at Qin Yang who was lying on the table, drooling all over the table, and was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly, holding the military order of the Yellow Turban King Ming, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, I'm tired too..."
The army moved into action. Guo Jia yawned and led Houtu Camp and Shenji Camp to rush towards Yiyang City.
Qin Yang slept extremely comfortably this night, and even had two erotic dreams. As for who the heroine was, it was unknown. But in the dream, what impressed Qin Yang most deeply was a woman who seemed to have come from the ninth century.
The voice coming from the underworld was full of unwillingness and resentment: "Qin Yang, how dare you betray me! When I come out of the mountain, the sky will be covered with clouds, and there will be thunder and lightning! The mountains and rivers will collapse.
Shattered, rivers flow backwards, the earth is stained with blood, and corpses lie thousands of miles away! You wait! You wait!...Hahahaha..."
Amidst the wild laughter, Qin Yang suddenly woke up, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his face. Although it was just a sound, the terrifying feeling it gave him was extremely real.
"Where is this place?! Guan Hai!" Qin Yang looked around and found that the place he was now was no longer a marching tent with a golden roof, but seemed to be an extremely exquisitely decorated room.
"Your Highness, are you awake?" The door was pushed open and Guan Hai walked in with a smile.
"Where is this place? Didn't I say that wherever the Yellow Turban Army passes, they are not allowed to enter private homes or harass the people!..."
"Your Highness, this is the palace of the Lord of Yiyang City."
"How can I take the lead in violating military discipline? You...what?! Yiyang City Lord's Mansion?!" Qin Yang was startled.
Guan Hai nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Your Highness. You have slept all day and night. If the military doctor hadn't said that you were overtired and just needed rest, we would have thought that you..."
"Tell the important point."
"Oh, Military Advisor Guo had already captured Yiyang at noon yesterday. It is said that the brothers from Shenji Battalion only bombarded him a few times before Zhao Rong hung up the white flag and surrendered. Then our army entered Yiyang, probably
That’s what happened.”
"Zhao Rong surrendered?..." Qin Yang repeated lightly. In fact, he also expected that a person like Zhao Rong would be the same as anyone as long as he could survive. Surrendering was just his habit.
"Well, that kid is used to surrendering and is capricious. He wants to kill him directly according to our wishes. But the military advisor said, Your Highness, you will definitely not agree. Instead, let us treat that innocent guy with courtesy.
Your Highness..."
"Okay, Military Advisor Guo is right, go and invite General Zhao Rong up."
"Your Highness..."
"Go! Be polite!" Qin Yang rolled his eyes at Guan Hai. How could Guan Hai know Qin Yang's intentions?
After a while, Guan Hai very respectfully invited Zhao Rong over, who was looking out of his head. Qin Yang had also finished dressing up and was sitting in the small living room of the city lord's palace drinking tea.
"I'm sorry to see you, Mr. Qin..." Zhao Rong smiled sarcastically.
Guan Hai coughed heavily and said in a deep voice: "Call His Highness Prince Ming!"
"Oh, yes! Zhao Rong, who is of humble rank, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Heavenly Feng Huangjin King Ming. Long live His Highness, long live him!"
Qin Yang felt happy because Zhao Rong was quite proficient in his business and could speak so fluently. However, Qin Yang didn't show any of it on his face and said lightly: "Zhao Rong, do you know your guilt?"
Zhao Rong's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, when Zhao Rong heard that His Highness's heavenly troops had arrived, he immediately opened the city and surrendered. What crime does Zhao Rong have?"
"What?! You're talking nonsense!" Qin Yang was furious and slammed the table. Guan Hai on the side also pulled out the saber from his waist in time, and for a moment he became murderous.
Zhao Rong's face turned pale in an instant, and he cried loudly and sadly: "Your Highness, Zhao Rong is unjust! That day in the imperial capital, Zhao Rong took refuge with Dong Zhuo's traitor, and it was your highness who nodded and agreed. Now that your highness has sent troops to the imperial capital, Zhao Rong has
What crime did Cheng Xian surrender commit? Your Highness must never listen to the villain’s slander and cold-blooded good generals like Zhao Rong who want to defect to Your Highness..."
Qin Yang listened expressionlessly to Zhao Rong kneeling there and talking. After Zhao Rong said he was tired, he said coldly: "You said you offered the city to surrender, but how did I hear that you started with the army of our Shenji Camp?"
Did you raise the white flag and surrender after the siege? Could it be that the generals under my command lied about the military situation and pretended to claim victory?!"
"This..." Zhao Rong's face was full of bitterness. He thought that with his 20,000 soldiers and a city, he could negotiate some terms with the Yellow Turban Army and gain some benefits. However, he did not expect that the commander of the siege, Guo Jia, happened to
He was not in a good mood, so he started to attack the city without any negotiation at all. Zhao Rong was so embarrassed that he stopped even negotiating and hurriedly raised a white flag to surrender.
Seeing that Zhao Rong was speechless, Qin Yang couldn't help but calm down a little, and said warmly: "General Zhao, although you stubbornly resisted and caused heavy losses to our army, and you deserve to be punished, but I am not an unreasonable person. If you can punish your crimes and serve them with merit,
…”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong hurriedly kowtowed and said: "As long as His Highness the Ming Dynasty needs a villain, he will go through fire and water without hesitation..."
