Chapter 1356: Wei Yan Wants to Cry and Take Hanchang
Xiahou Yuan cleaned up all the defeated troops.
Except for those who died in battle, the rest of the rout soldiers laid down their weapons and squatted on the ground and surrendered.
At this time, Ma Chao came over with his pursuers.
After seeing Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao was stunned, he had worked hard to chase after him, but he was still a step late.
"General Xiahou is so fast." Ma Chao came to Xiahou Yuan and said in a very strange tone.
Xiahou Yuan didn't know what Ma Chao meant, but he said very complimentally: "General Ma, you are here too." The last general is ordered by Lord Sima to wait here for these defeated soldiers! ”
As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao lost his temper. No wonder Xiahou Yuan was able to come here so quickly.
"General Xiahou, can you capture Wei Yan?" Ma Chao no longer lost his temper and asked about the important matter.
"Wei Yan? Did not see! Xiahou Yuan told the truth.
Ma Chao was shocked, he could see Wei Yan fleeing in this direction with his own eyes just now. It's better to talk nonsense, it's better to actually check. Ma Chao took the soldiers and horses to identify the surrendered routs one after another. In the end, don't say it's like Wei Yan, you can't even find one with a big beard.
"Damn! was run away by Wei Yan's house. Ma Chao was furious, and the duck actually flew to his beak.
Xiahou Yuan kept watching Ma Chao to check, originally he caught this rout, and he should have searched for it. However, Xiahou Yuan knew Ma Chao's character and wanted to do it, so he did not interfere with Ma Chao's behavior, which could be regarded as giving Ma Chao a face.
Hearing Ma Chao say this, Xiahou Yuan slowly spoke: "General Ma, will Wei Yan change his course halfway?" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Ma Chao immediately remembered, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding me!" ”
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao ordered to his soldiers: "Turn around to the general, and you must catch Wei Yan!" Live or die! ”
Ma Chao hurriedly took the soldiers and horses away, leaving Xiahou Yuan with a confused face.
Xiahou Yuan really wanted to say, even if he rushed over now, would he really be able to catch Wei Yan? It's going to be very tough.
"Forget it, Ma Chao has a big shelf, so he can do whatever he likes." Ma Chao is gone, and Xiahou Yuan is too late to say it.
Wei Yan and Sun Qian didn't know where they had gone, and Ma Chao was destined to find no trace of Wei Yan.
After going around and around several times, Ma Chao didn't find Wei Yan, so he could only scold: "Damn, you have a virtue with Liu Bei, you run so fast!" worthy of being sworn brothers. ”
In desperation, Ma Chao could only return to Nanjiang City with his troops.
By the time Ma Chao returned to the vicinity of Nanjiang City, Xiahou Yuan and Sima Yi had already converged, and at the same time, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie had rescued all the soldiers of Liu Beijun in Yizhou who could be saved. The surviving civilians were also rescued. Compared with the soldiers of Liu Beijun in Yizhou, the treatment of the people is much better. At least Sima Yi asked his soldiers to boil a pot of hot soup to warm them up. Nanjiang City still needs to be rebuilt in the end, and of course Sima Yi should be kind to these people.
The surviving people were honest, and none of them complained. In this era, ordinary people have a natural fear of being a soldier, not to mention the huge impact caused by the sudden flood just now.
These soldiers who fell into the water did not have such good treatment, but they all now have a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they all tremble slightly when they recall the terrible flood before.
Sima Yi motioned to Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to bring these soldiers over.
Not surprisingly, these soldiers were willing to join the royal division of the Shenwu Imperial Court. The previous flood made these soldiers understand that Liu Jun was invincible, and they had no other skills, so it would be impossible not to join Liu Jun. Besides, behind Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were Liu Jun soldiers with weapons, looking at them with fierce eyes. It seems to show that if it's not your own people, you have to kill it. The rescued soldiers had already experienced life and death, and they were glad that they could live, but they didn't want to die, so they decisively joined Liu's army. Look at the corpses floating on the water, they are all comrades who get along with them today, and they don't want to be one of them.
Sima Yi was very satisfied, these soldiers had such a choice to satisfy him. If not, Sima Yi would have disposed of all such soldiers and thrown them directly into the water to feed the fish. One strategy has wiped out an unknown number of lives, and Sima Yi is not short of killing a few.
When Sima Yi finished the recruitment work, Ma Chao just came back.
"My lord, the last general is incompetent, let Wei Yan run away!" Ma Chao came to Sima Yi with a ashamed face and pleaded guilty.
Sima Yi said disappreciably: "Meng Qi, Wei Yan ran away as soon as he ran away." I had long expected that he would not be so easy to catch. Don't be discouraged, we have a chance to seize Wei Yan. ”
Sima Yi didn't blame Ma Chao, Ma Chao felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but his old face was lost this time. was obviously staring at Wei Yan, but Wei Yan changed lanes halfway without knowing. If it reaches the ears of Dian Wei and Lu Bu and other rough blanks, they will definitely be laughed to death.
The water level of Nanjiang City slowly dropped, and Sima Yi felt that it would take a day to return to normal.
"Leave three thousand soldiers and horses to deal with Nanjiang City. The rest of the people, continue on the road, let's take advantage of the victory to pursue! Ma Yi ordered.
Nanjiang City is an important checkpoint, and it is necessary to leave troops to garrison it. Nanjiang City is related to Sima Yi's grain route, if he doesn't arrange troops here, how can Sima Yi go on the road with peace of mind. Oh, it's the peace of mind that marches in. The grain road is the most important link, and as a top military division, Sima Yi will not fail to understand this truth.
Isn't Sima Yi afraid that others will attack Nanjiang City with water?
Of course not afraid! Sima Yi watched the sky at night, and in the past month, it has been difficult for it to rain here in Pasir County. If you don't have enough water, how can you talk about water attack?
Sima Yi is so awesome.
In addition, after the flood waters receded, the remaining troops had to dispose of the carcasses of all kinds of people and animals that had drowned, and if they were left alone, they would breed all kinds of bacteria and cause plagues. The future Yizhou belongs to the imperial court, and it belongs to His Majesty today, and Sima Yi does not want to see a major outbreak of plague after this war.
Of course, there are still a lot of people in Nanjiang City, and they also need help and assistance.
"Zhongda, where is our army heading now?" Ma Chao quickly walked out of the shame just now.
Really, Ma Chao is such a person, he is a little ashamed, and he will not be ashamed soon, he is very thick-skinned.
Xiahou Yuan wanted to laugh out loud.
Sima Yi sighed that Ma Chao's IQ is sometimes really low, and it has come to this point, where else can he enter? However, seeing Ma Chao's expectant eyes, Sima Yi explained his confusion and said: "Nanjiang City, the gate of Pasir County has been opened by our army. Our army attacked Hanchang at night and cut off the connection between Pasir County and Padang County. ”
Ma Chaoda praised: "Hanchang City! As long as this city is captured, then Wei Yan will not be able to support Padang County. Patong County will be isolated from Yiju. ”
"Fortunately, Ma Chao's military talent is much better than his IQ." Sima Yi sneered.
"That's right!" Sima Yi said loudly: "Our army has won a great victory!" It's the chase while you're winning! Kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor behind! The whole army obeyed the order and rushed to Hanchang City! ”
"Mighty!" All the Liu soldiers shouted loudly.
Sima Yi, Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan and others led the army towards Hanchang City.
At this time, Hanchang City did not know the situation of Nanjiang City at all.
Wei Yan, who was on the run, suddenly jumped in his heart, thinking of Hanchang City, and the whole person was stunned.
Wei Yan was walking in front, and suddenly stopped, allowing Sun Qian behind him to collide directly.
Sun Gan's body was not as good as Wei Yan, and he was directly bounced out by Wei Yan, and fell to the ground with his buttocks, making him grin in pain.
"Wen Chang, why did you stop?!" Sun Qian rubbed his aching buttocks and said bitterly.
Since Wei Yan saved Sun Gan many times, Sun Gan's affection for Wei Yan has skyrocketed.
Wei Yan cried with a sad face, and said as if he was dead: "It's over, Hanchang City is over!" Patong County is finished! ”
"Hanchang City? Patong-gun? "Sun Qian hasn't turned the corner yet." What do you say these two places are for? ”
After Sun Qian figured it out, his whole body trembled, and he said anxiously: "Sima Yi's army is going to attack Hanchang City, once Hanchang is captured, Badong County and Brazil County will be separated!" ”
If Sun Qian didn't have any military brains, it would be, and now he could think of Sima Yi's intentions.
Wei Yan's face turned pale and he nodded heavily. Ba County now has Gao Shun as a trouble, Sima Yi flooded the Nanjiang River and marched to Hanchang, and in the next few days, Pasir County will not have a stable day. In this way, Badong County was isolated in Yizhou, and sooner or later fell into the hands of Liu Yu.
The land of Sanba was all calculated by Sima Yi like this, and Wei Yan, the master, felt a deep sense of frustration hit the depths of his heart.
Wei Yan really wanted to cry.
"Wen Chang, let's rush to Hanchang City now! Hanchang City can't be lost. Because he spoke too quickly, Sun Qian almost bit his tongue.
In Sun Qian's thoughts, as long as they go to Hanchang City, they may be able to hold on.
However, Wei Yan shook his head and said: "It's too late, let's just leave you and me now, Hanchang City only has about 2,000 soldiers and horses, can you hold on for a long time?" ”
Wei Yan now doesn't want to mention how much he regrets arranging most of his troops in Nanjiang City, and now a flood will wipe out all his troops.
Sun Gan's face became miserable, the soles of his feet were a little weak, and he said tremblingly: "How can I wait to represent the main bus!" ”
Hand over? Wei Yan really has no way to explain to Liu Bei.
"Gongyou, for today's plan, you and I will rush back to Langzhong City and reorganize our troops as a last stand." Wei Yan comforted Sun Qian.
What else can Sun Qian do, he can only do what Wei Yan said.
Wei Yan and Sun Qian walked towards Langzhong City with a heavy heart. In fact, Wei Yan himself didn't know if he could stop Sima Yi's army after returning to Langzhong.
In fact, with Wei Yan and Sun Gan walking on two legs, even if Sima Yi captured Hanchang City and then swung his army west to Langzhong, Wei Yan and Sun Qian might not be able to reach Langzhong City.
It's just that Wei Yan and Sun Qian's luck is really good. After the two of them hurried for most of the night, they met Liu Beijun's patrol in Yizhou. Under the protection of the patrol, the two were able to mount their horses and head towards Langzhong City.
The sky was getting brighter.
The head of Hanchang City has changed its flag, and the original "Liu" banner of Yizhou Mu Liu Bei has become a big "Han" character of the Shenwu Imperial Court.
Sima Yi, Ma Chao, and Xiahou Yuan led the army to Hanchang City. As for the actual situation, Sima Yi, Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan didn't know much about it, and it was estimated that they would not be able to arrive so soon.
The most important thing that can be marched to fight a war is to have a leading party. Among the Yizhou Liu Beijun who surrendered in Nanjiang City before, many of them were born in Hanchang City, and they were very familiar with this area, and they also knew how many troops Hanchang City had. Anyway, they have all joined the Shenwu Imperial Court, and now they are already members of the royal division, and they should serve the imperial court. So they decisively came out and became the leading party.
Sima Yi was overjoyed, this was an unexpected gain, and immediately promised these soldiers that as long as they could reach Hanchang City quickly, their credit would be great, and Sima Yi's reward would also be great.
With a great promise, these soldiers who led the way worked harder and did their best to serve Sima Yi.
Sima Yi took the least time to come to Hanchang City. Since he already knew the specific strength of Hanchang City, and at the same time he was still unprepared to attack it, Sima Yi didn't need any strategy, and directly waved his army to press it.
Of course, as the first wave of siege, it was Sima Yi's newly recruited soldiers of Liu Beijun in Yizhou who surrendered.
Sima Yi was not using them to consume Hanchang's troops and attract firepower, but to let these new soldiers show themselves well, so that the whole army knew their loyalty to the imperial court and their personal bravery.
Well, that's how Sima Yi explained it to others.
What are the specific intentions, the big guy can understand it in his heart. There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly.
After a fierce battle, all the 2,000 defenders of Hanchang were annihilated, and it was just dawn when Liu Jun's East Road army all entered Hanchang City.
Hanchang City became the second city that Sima Yi won in Yizhou.
Sima Yi, who had been busy all night, generously let all the soldiers take turns to rest. In order to expand the results of the war, the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers must absolutely not be less. Sima Yi and other high-level officials can also take a break.
Isn't Sima Yi worried that when his side is resting, the troops of other cities will come to attack Hanchang?
Unafraid! Sima Yi has no worries in this regard. If the other city guards in Brazil County had the courage to come, Sima Yi didn't mind letting Ma Chao destroy them all. The defenders of these cities now only have the share of self-preservation, and it is impossible to send troops to attack Hanchang, and they don't dare to give them one more courage.
