Chapter 0736: Six Verticals
Yuwen Chengdu grabbed Zhai Yu and walked out at that time, Zhai Yu looked back at Li Yi, without fear, and said, "Does the general dare to let me go again?" β
Li Yi asked Yuwen Chengdu to let go of Zhai Yu for the time being, and said lightly: "I have captured you six times, but you are still not convinced, when will you stay?" β
"If you catch me the seventh time, we will be obedient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Zhai Yu said.
"Who will believe what the unbeliever says?" Li Yi pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Zhai Yu swore to the heavens and said, "I, Zhai Yu, swear to the immortal heaven, if the general takes me again, I will definitely surrender to the clan and never betray!" β
Li Yi pondered for a while, the total population of Ding Ling was about 500,000, and in the first few battles, a total of about 100,000 Ding Ling's army was wiped out. Even if Zhai Yu is put back, there will not be many soldiers and horses to raise for the time being, after all, except for the abrupt tribe, the tribe under Zhai Yu is basically not young.
So Li Yi said: "That is the case, for the sake of your sister's face, I will believe you again, Chengdu, let them go." β
Yuwen Chengdu untied him, and Zhai Yu walked out without saying a word. Baliyan and the others bowed again, and then got up and walked out.
Out of the gate, Zhai Yu saw her sister Zhai Ya, who also had nothing to say and strode away.
"Brother, why wait for next time, don't you think that the clansmen have died enough?" Zhai Ya persuaded.
Zhai Yu paused when he heard this, but still left.
Zhai Ya hurriedly entered to see Li Yi and said, "Thank you, Fujun, for letting my brother go again." β
Li Yi thought that he had a relationship with Zhai Ya, and he promised to help Zhai Yu fight for the grassland, but he didn't expect this kid to be stinky and hard, and he refused to surrender after being caught six times. But if such a person is converted, he will not rebel again.
He said to Zhai Ya: "I have released your brother six times, I hope your brother's oath this time is true." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Three days later, the Northern Xinjiang Army had already counted the losses in this battle.
"My lord, our army lost more than 10,000 people before and after, but fortunately, Zhai Yu was repulsed." Xu Shu said.
This time in Longcheng, after experiencing many battles, although the glorious record of destroying 100,000 enemies was achieved, the Northern Frontier Army itself also paid a heavy price. Not to mention anything else, Li Yi's personal guard army alone lost more than half, which can be described as the worst loss suffered since the army became an army.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Li Yi asked: "Kong Ming, now our army is full of cavalry here, and we can go to Wolf Juxu Mountain in two days, do you want to lead the army to Wolf Juxu Mountain and face the Jiankun people first?" Even if Zhai Yu came again, he wouldn't have much strength to come. β
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "The scout is about to have news, if Zhai Yu does not move, the lord will lead the soldiers and horses to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, if it is ......"
"Report ......!" At this moment, the scout officer came to report, "Lord, Zhai Yu led 100,000 soldiers and horses all the way to Dragon City, and the speed of the march will arrive tomorrow." β
"What!" Li Yi couldn't imagine the scout's return, so he stood up suddenly and said loudly, "One hundred thousand, where did Zhai Yu get the hundred thousand horses?" β
Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang also couldn't believe it, and also got up and said: "Is it a suspicious plan, you are wrong to investigate?" β
The total population of Ding Ling is about 500,000, and according to the calculation of half of men and women, men are about 250,000. Among them, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is only able to pull out more than 100,000 horses. And before Li Yi had already wiped out an army of 100,000 Ding Ling, almost all the sturdy men of Ding Lingren, how could Ding Lingren make up another 100,000 army? Is it to drag the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and women into the battlefield?
The scout officer wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, there is absolutely no mistake in guaranteeing the head of the superior. It was Zhai Yu who got the help of another powerful tribal leader of Ding Lingren, Tu Wuleng, who suddenly exhausted his tribal soldiers and horses, joined forces with Zhai Yu, and said that he wanted to avenge the death of Ding Ling's compatriots. β
After listening to the scout's words, Li Yi knew what was going on. If the soldiers and horses of the headquarters are suddenly dispatched, plus some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people pulled out by Zhai Yu from his own tribe, he will be able to gather an army of 100,000.
"My lord, I heard that there are three major tribes in Ding Lingren, Zhai Yu is in charge of two alone, and the remaining one is in charge of Tu Leng. This time, it seems that Ding Ling has exhausted all the combat power of the whole clan, and wants to fight our army to the death. Xu Shu exclaimed.
Lakh! Li Yi couldn't help but think of the former Three Kingdoms and Nine, the Karasuma on the four sides, the mountains, the Nanban, and the Qiang people, there was only one city, but there were 300,000 soldiers and horses stationed. Whenever a neighbouring city is attacked by it, it will be destroyed. However, he remembered that if he could take these cities, the soldiers inside would be his own, and often as long as he took a barbarian, the troops collected would be enough to sweep the world.
Although reality is not a game, the combat effectiveness of the barbarians should not be underestimated. Li Yi wanted to subdue Zhai Yu in order to consolidate the northern border, otherwise the entire northern border would be shrouded under the iron hooves of Ding Lingren. If you don't deploy an army of 100,000 on the border, it will be almost impossible to check and balance, and that would be too much of a force involved.
Ding Ling raised the strength of the whole clan and raised 100,000 soldiers to attack, while Li Yi only had 13,000 cavalry troops left. Although Ding Ling's army may be a little old, weak, sick and disabled, the gap in the number of troops is too big to be made up for by ordinary strategies.
In desperation, he could only choose a strategic shift. On the one hand, they retreated to the south, and on the other hand, they quickly reported to Zhao Yun, LΓΌ Bu and Sima Yi, so that they were also ready to retreat.
The situation of the entire Northern Campaign began to be very bad for Li Yi.
When Zhai Yu led the soldiers of the whole clan to Dragon City, he learned that Li Yi had escaped, and he was very annoyed. In his opinion, it is a great shame to be captured six times, and if he does not take revenge, he will not be able to serve the people in the future.
As a result, he gave up his plan to occupy Longcheng County in advance and led the army to chase him all the way. His idea is really simple, gather the Jiankun people, eliminate Li Yi, and take revenge with his own hands.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
It is said that Li Yi retreated all the way to Mrs. Fan's City, and he was already sleepy and tired, so he ordered him to rest.
Zhuge Liang said to Li Yi: "Ahem...... Lord...... Ahem, Liang already has a plan...... cough cough cough ......"
Just last night, Zhuge Liang suddenly fell ill and coughed violently.
Li Yi was chased all the way here by Zhai Yu, and he was already depressed, so he was even more flustered. However, when he heard Zhuge Liang say that he had a plan, he ignored his condition for the time being, and asked, "Will the plan be released?" β
Zhuge Liang's eyes were red, tears coughed out, and he said: "On the topographic map, there is a boundary called Fuyangju Mountain in the fifteenth mile, and the road is narrow and the vegetation is lush. If you lead the army to ambush, wait for the enemy to arrive, and set fire to it, you can fight a battle. It's just that the lord needs to personally lead him Zhai Yu forward, and when he sees that the lord must chase after him, he can make a plan, cough cough cough...... cough cough cough cough ......"
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he covered his chest and coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough to death.
Li Yi instantly threw this plan behind him, and said hurriedly: "Shunzhi, quickly invite the military doctor to come." β
After a cup of tea, the best military doctor hurriedly took the medicine box and felt that he was diagnosing Zhuge Liang's pulse.
"How's that!" Li Yi asked with concern.
The military doctor hurriedly said: "This is caused by throat cough, phlegm condensation and stagnation of qi and irritation of the throat by foreign gas. The lungs are important organs of the human body, and they are perennial lesions, and they are worried about ...... future. β
Zhuge Liang is Li Yi's baby, and 100,000 soldiers and horses will not be replaced. He heard the military doctor say that it was very likely that his lungs would be damaged in the future, and he suddenly remembered Guo Jia from another time and space, and he was coughing. Cao Cao didn't care about treatment, so he braided early.
He was a little anxious, and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take medicine to heal!" β
The military doctor said helplessly: "My lord, there is a lack of several precious medicinal materials here, so there is no effective treatment. β
"Shun it!" Li Yi called Dian Wei and instructed, "Hurry up, send a capable force to look for medicinal materials around, and don't come back if you can't find it!" β
"Ahem, ahem...... The lord, the husband and the sheep are narrow...... cough cough cough ...... Nowadays, it is important to deal with Ding Ling's talents, and it must not be ...... because of the brightness cough, cough, cough cough......" Zhuge Liang finally held the case for a few times and coughed heavily, almost unable to speak.
Li Yi glared at Dian Wei and said loudly: "Don't go yet!" β
"Whoa!" Dian Wei hurriedly led people out of the big tent, and then he hurried out to look for medicinal materials.
"My lord, I haven't written down the types of medicinal herbs yet...... the military doctor said cautiously.
Li Yi was very embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered him to write down the prescription immediately, and sent another person to catch up with Dian Wei and the others, who had already gone away.
Seeing that the lord was very concerned about the condition of the military division, the military doctor reminded him: "Lord, the cough is mainly caused by lung lesions, plus foreign body stimulation and induction. Therefore, it is necessary to recuperate quietly, and avoid ...... against the wind. β
Li Yi said: "In this case, let the army spend the night here today, drink a few medicines in the next day, and then go on the road." β
"No! cough cough cough cough ......" Zhuge Liang was very moved and panicked, and said, "Zhai Yu chases him very closely, don't delay the time because of the brightness, and in addition, when you arrange people and horses as soon as possible, set up an ambush in Fuyangju Mountain...... cough cough cough ......"
Li Yi didn't dare to joke with Zhuge Liang's life, so he persuaded: "Kong Ming doesn't have to care, let's leave a day early, and if we delay here for half a day, we won't be able to catch up." Chengdu, quickly send the military back to the tent, let people serve carefully. β
"Whoa!" Yuwen Chengdu immediately took the two of them to support Zhuge Liang, no matter how he struggled, he lifted it up and left.
"Lord, don't be ...... because of the light cough cough cough ......" Zhuge Liang burst into tears, and he didn't know if it was because of coughing, or because Li Yi was grateful for his great cause.
However, Li Yi was still hesitating about Zhuge Liang's strategy, Zhuge Liang's strategy was like another time and space, he went out of the mountain to help Liu Bei's fire to burn Bowangpo. If it is burned, Ding Lingren will be destroyed, and Li Yi's previous six captures of Zhai Yu will be useless. (To be continued.) )
