"Reputation?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Do I, Zhuge Liang, still have a reputation? I betray Liu Bei and are unfaithful, and disobey the family and are unfilial. Do people who are unfaithful and unfilial still have a reputation? I, Zhuge Liang, have lost my temper today. I'll drag you on."
Zhuge Liang ordered coldly, and two soldiers dragged Yanchabu out. Yanchabu shouted: "Zhugepifu, if you dare to kill me, when the Queen and General Ako find out, you will be dead too, and you will regret it...ah...
…”
The head fell to the ground, and the whole army was shocked.
On a watchtower, a soldier told Akko what happened in the camp and brought a message from the generals, whether Zhuge Liang should be punished.
Akko only said that we should finish the battle first, and didn’t say anything else. Runpaan said to Akko: “This fear chills Di Ren’s heart.”
"Soon, they will be even more chilled." Ako said calmly.
Yanchabu was firmly against surrendering to the Han people and had long been on Zhelanying's must-kill list. This time, all the troops led by Zhuge Liang were sent to die. What could be more heartbreaking than this?
After Akko finished speaking, he added: "Go back and monitor the families who have surrendered. When the army is dispatched, kill them all."
This is an order given by Zhe Lanying. After publicly joining the Sichuan Army in the future, these aristocratic families will not be able to stay. In private, not only does my husband hate these aristocratic families, but even his father is looking at the faces of the aristocratic families. Of course Zhe Lanying
I hate these families.
…
"My lord, the front is Hanliang City. Ever since Zhuge Liang led the Di army to attack Meiji City, the royal court of the southern Xiongnu, the royal court of the Huns has not been settled. After Wu Jun relied on Wang Yue and Zhou Ce to sweep away the Xiongnu, he established his capital in Hanliang City.
This is their last lair."
On a hilltop, Huang Yueying looked at the city in front and said to Liu Zhang.
The Sichuan army left heavy troops to guard Luoyang and Hulao Pass. One hundred thousand troops crossed the Yellow River, passed through Hanoi to the east and west, and marched all the way in. Along the way, the city guards either abandoned the city or surrendered, and the wealthy families fled in search of them. The Sichuan army managed to capture thousands of miles of land without any effort.
.
Along the way, the people ate pots of soup to respond to the Sichuan Army. This was not only because of the reputation of the Sichuan Army and the reputation of the Shenwei Army who was responsible for caring for the people, but also because of the many benefits left behind by the noble families after they fled.
The Sichuan army marched too fast, and the family members ran in a hurry and could not take away everything. The common people were finally able to step into the Shen Family Courtyard, which they could only watch from a distance. They moved everything to their homes, including the roof beams, including the tiles.
Neither the stone nor the slate are spared.
It was a pity that these houses were demolished like this. The Sichuan Army had to send troops to guard these houses and issued orders not to touch these properties.
But even so, it does not conflict with what the people are most happy about. What they care more about is land. I heard that the people in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army have a lot of land. They have long wanted to divide the land of those aristocratic families. The aristocratic families have all run away.
That's theirs.
When the land order was first implemented, the people in Jingyi and Yizhou did not dare to occupy those lands because they were afraid of the retaliation of the aristocratic clans. Hundreds of years of practice have proved that the advantages will never reach the bottom. If the aristocratic clans are in decline, they will take advantage. What follows
If you encounter fierce revenge from the clan, you will die miserably.
But now the people of Xiahetao have no such worries at all. The Sichuan Army is the most powerful force in the world. Everyone knows this. They are no longer afraid of revenge from the family, and they are all eager to divide the land.
With the support of the people, the Sichuan army advanced into the Xiongnu garrison in a short period of time. The Xiongnu garrison was also the same as in Hedong and Hanoi. As soon as the Sichuan army came, they all ran away, and now they are basically concentrated in Hanliang City.
"We are thousands of miles away from the logistics staging area in Luoyang. This is a bad distance. The city in the middle drags down the soldiers, and supplies are also far away. Going deep into the enemy's hinterland is not good for us.
Moreover, from a military point of view, Hanliang City and Jinyang are at odds with each other. Cao Zhang also has 30,000 troops stationed in Shangdang, who can attack our rear at any time.
Cao Jun and Wu Jun chose a very good place for the decisive battle."
"Any strategy is useless in the face of absolute strength. With Cao Zhang's 100,000 people and Wu Jun's 20,000 people, even if they show off, they cannot be our opponent.
It's just that I believe that Cao Cao and Wu Jun are not that stupid, they should have some backup plans." Huang Yueying said calmly.
"What do Yueying think they have in mind?" Liu Zhang asked.
"There are no two options. One is to mobilize troops from the front line of the Yellow River to assist in the battle at Xia Hetao. Although there are only more than 200,000 people participating in the battle at Xia Hetao, it is related to the overall situation of the world, and Cao Cao will take it very seriously.
The Yellow River front line could only rely on geographical advantages to barely equal the Sichuan army in our Heluo land. If they mobilized openly, it would be an act of seeking death.
If Cao Jun would mobilize the Yellow River line, he would definitely mobilize secretly, and then raid the rear of our army to achieve a fatal blow.
I have sent a large number of spies to patrol the Yellow River line. As long as Cao Jun dares to move, General Zhang Ren will immediately launch a full-scale attack on Cao Jun's Yellow River line, and we can start the unification war in advance.
The second possibility is to ask for help. Asking Zhelan for help is asking for death. However, there are not many princes now, but Zhelan is not the only one. Although Xianbei Wuhuan and Yuan brothers are far away, it is not a problem for the cavalry.
There are also motives to help Cao Cao, which we have to guard against."
Liu Zhang nodded. At this moment, a soldier ran up the mountain and handed out a letter with both hands, "My lord, a secret message from the north."
Liu Zhang took it and looked more solemnly. Huang Yueying asked: "Is it Zhelan's letter? What happened?"
Looking at Liu Zhang's expression, Huang Yueying thought there was something very unfavorable to the Sichuan army.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong." Liu Zhang turned to the soldiers and said, "Call Mrs. Xiao, General Wu Tugu, and General Zhao Yun to come over immediately."
"yes."
Liu Zhang handed the letter to Huang Yueying: "Zhe Lan said that he had asked Zhuge Liang to lead a group of troops stubbornly resisting the Han people to sneak attack our rear from the Xin'an Ancient Road, and let us kill them all without leaving any one behind."
"Zhuge Liang?" Huang Yueying raised her head before reading the letter. In any case, Zhuge Liang was Huang Yueying's childhood friend just like Pang Tong and Xu Shu.
"Kill no one alive." This also means that Zhuge Liang will... Huang Yueying felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, she forced a smile and said: "This is a good thing. Sister Zhelan's move is very good.
The die-hards in the Di army were eliminated, and it gave Cao Jun and Wu Jun the illusion that the Di people were sending troops to our Sichuan army.
Haha, if Zhelan didn't tell us and the Di people really attacked us from the Xin'an Ancient Road, Yueying might not be able to..."
"Yueying." Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yueying: "I know you feel bad, but I am not pretentious about this matter. When the time comes, you will go to Xin'an Ancient Road in person. It is up to you whether to keep Zhuge Liang, kill him or let him go.
Make the decision, I will not interfere, I am now..."
"Lord, I'm not going." Huang Yueying shook her head: "Zhuge Liang will not surrender to us no matter what. He can surrender to anyone, but he will not surrender to us, because I am in the Sichuan Army."
Huang Yueying understands Zhuge Liang. Even after so many things have happened now, Zhuge Liang has his own pride. He would rather die than serve under his former fiancée. Regardless of the sincerity of Liu Zhang and himself, Zhuge Liang will not make this choice.
Rather than being speechless and helpless to say goodbye, it would be better not to see each other.
Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't have any good or bad feelings towards Zhuge Liang, but because of you Yueying, I can make a concession. I hope you can go to Xin'an Ancient Road without leaving any regrets."
"Let's talk about it then." Huang Yueying put aside the topic and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord seemed to have something else to say just now, what was it?"
"Read the letter below." Liu Zhang said and turned around to go down the mountain. Huang Yueying opened the letter and said in surprise: "Zhelan wants to persuade Cao Cao to surrender, and also wants the master to spare Cao Cao's life?"
…
The Sichuan army launched an attack on Hanliang City. Although Hanliang City was small, it supported each other with Jinyang and had as many as 90,000 troops. Although the Sichuan army was strong, it could not break through it for a while.
Xin'an Ancient Road, Sang Qian Slope, it is said that this is the place where a Sang girl died in love with her husband because her parents opposed the marriage. The lush trees on the steep cliffs are sparsely visited.
The Xin'an Ancient Road passes under Sangqian Slope. The first person to use the Xin'an Ancient Road was when the Quan Rong army attacked Haojing. When the Quan Rong army came out of the Xin'an Ancient Road, they were already in the Lower Hetao area, and no one could stop them from entering Guanzhong.
Now this road has long been abandoned and overgrown with grass. If you don't look at it from a high place, it is difficult to distinguish this road. But from a high place, a winding and rugged path stands out from the wasteland.
An army was marching hard on the trail.
Zhuge Liang had five thousand troops and used one thousand troops to explore the road. The road ahead was full of obstacles and obstacles, and they drove out places that were not conducive to the passage of cavalry, and finally reached Sangqianpo.
"Military advisor, after leaving Sangqianpo, we will reach Hexi in more than fifty miles. We will appear behind the Sichuan army and cut off the Sichuan army." A general said to Zhuge Liang. Since Zhuge Liang killed Yanchabu, he has obtained
a certain prestige.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly. According to rational analysis, the Sichuan Army is now deep into Hanliang City from Luoyang, and the supply road in the middle is long, which gives unlimited opportunities to cut off the Sichuan Army's supplies.
Five thousand men, as long as they hold on to the key point. If the Sichuan army returns with reinforcements, Cao Zhang and Wu Jun will definitely counterattack and contain the Sichuan army. The Sichuan army will not be able to break through the supply road. If there is no reinforcements with a large army, Zhuge Liang believes that he can still hold it with 5,000 troops.
At that time, the Sichuan army will be out of food and will be defeated without a fight. Coupled with the large army behind the Di people, the Xianbei army, the Wuhuan army, and the Sichuan army's 100,000 troops, the entire army will be annihilated.
But this is just a rational analysis. The bad premonition in Zhuge Liang's heart has never disappeared. And just last night, while watching the stars at night, Zhuge Liang found that his natal star was flickering. Zhuge Liang already knew that a disaster would befall him.
But Zhuge Liang did not back down, not only because of Zhe Lanying's military order, but also because he really wanted to have a fair fight with Huang Yueying. Maybe in this expedition, he would be defeated by Huang Yueying and die at the hands of the Sichuan army, but Zhuge Liang did not regret it at all.
