Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The final Han-Wei war was developing on the planned track. The 100,000-strong army led by Han King Liu Jing refused to fight and held back the main force of Cao's army led by Xiahou Dun in Gaoyi County, Changshan County. The 160,000-strong army led by Zhao Yun and Wenpin followed suit.  Yedu was surrounded. At the same time, the 50,000 Han troops killed by Fukouxing, led by Liu Hu, also rushed to Yedu and joined the siege of Yedu.  The 80,000 Han troops led by Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were deployed in the Handan area north of Yedu, responsible for intercepting the main force of Cao's army returning to Yedu. The Han army had laid a dragnet and was waiting for the moment when the city of Yedu was broken.  There are currently 30,000 Cao troops in the city of Yedu. They are all newly recruited soldiers more than a month ago. They are called the new army. They are commanded by Xiahou Dun's son Xiahou Mao. Although Xiahou Dun did not accept Guo Huai's suggestion, he left Zhang Liao to defend the city.  , but he also knew that his son's commanding ability was insufficient, so he appointed Zang Ba, who was good at defending the city, as his deputy general, and at the same time left the counselor Xin Pi to Xiahou Mao.  After a month of intensive training by Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, the 30,000 Cao army is no longer as scattered as it was at the beginning, and its equipment is advanced. All of them are regular Cao army equipment. Looking from a distance, they still have a somewhat murderous momentum, but  Elites trained through training and elite soldiers tempered by war are two different things. In the face of a real war, at a critical moment of life and death, recruits can easily be unable to withstand the psychological pressure and collapse.  At this time, Cao Jun on the top of the city looked at the Han soldiers below the city who were as dense as a swarm of ants. Two hundred thousand troops surrounded Yedu. The tents were overwhelming and there was no end in sight. All Cao Jun soldiers were intimidated and felt war in their hearts.  After retreating, their families are all in the city. They joined the army just for a few stones. Now that the food has been obtained, can they still expect these Cao soldiers to keep their promises and risk their lives?  In the corner of the east city, dozens of Cao Jun soldiers were gathering together and whispering. A young Cao Jun soldier was vividly telling everyone about his experiences in Chang'an, "I'm just a tavern boy, but I can earn 7,000 yuan a month."  , sixty bucks for a bucket of rice, I can earn ten shi of food a month, which is 120 shi a year, and I still have enough money to go visit a brothel, have a glass of wine, etc., and live a happy life. " "Chang'an is so good!  "?" A big black man said in a loud voice.  The young soldier suddenly became anxious, "I am a bastard for lying to you." "It should be true!" Another soldier whispered: "My uncle is also in Chang'an. He wrote a letter saying that Chang'an is very good and let my father go. Father  He said it was hard to leave his homeland, so I ended up joining the army. If I had known I would have gone to Chang'an, I don't know if I would have survived this time. "The young soldier lowered his voice and said, "Don't be stupid, let's run away if there is a war.  Take off your armor and hide away, who knows who?" "You're right, it's a dead end anyway. If you can't enjoy a good life, it's better to escape and wait for a good life." Everyone agreed, wanting to escape.  Take root in their hearts.  On the other side of the city wall, there were also soldiers inciting Cao's soldiers to give up resistance, stop working for Cao, and save their own lives. These people were Han army scouts in the city, and there were more than a hundred of them. They were at the top of the city,  In the military camp and in the street patrols, rumors were spread everywhere to undermine the morale of Cao Jun and encourage the soldiers to flee in the chaos. As more people spread the rumors, Cao Jun's military morale gradually began to waver.  Although Xiahou Mao is not a playboy and can also study and practice martial arts, he is indeed much inferior to his father Xiahou Dun. He lacks courage and experience. Although he has learned a lot of strategies, he has never been on the battlefield.  Talk on paper.  However, Xiahou Mao worked hard. He patrolled the city with his entourage soldiers to check the defense deployment. All defense deployments were planned by Zang Ba, and it was Xiahou Mao who gave the orders. He also knew that he was not capable enough, so  He almost obeyed Zang Ba's various suggestions.  When they reached the East Tower, a soldier from behind caught up with him and shouted: "General Xiahou, stay!"  "Where?" "At the North City Gate!"  Not long after, Xia Houmao arrived at the North City Gate and met an angry Zang Ba. He got off his horse and walked up quickly and asked, "What happened? Why is General Zang so angry?" Zang Ba pointed behind him.  The dozen or so soldiers who were tied up said: "There are deserters in the army. These deserters were caught by the patrol soldiers." Xia Houmao was startled and asked quickly: "How many people escaped?" Zang Ba pulled him aside.  , said in a low voice: "About a thousand people escaped."Sound.  Zang Ba lowered his voice and said, "This matter must be kept secret, not even to the soldiers. It will seriously shake the morale of the army."  " Xia Houmao nodded quickly and looked at the bound soldiers, "Then what should they do?  " Zang Ba said coldly: "Behead them on the spot and use their heads to warn the soldiers that whoever dares to escape will be their fate.  " Although Xia Houmao felt unbearable, he did not dare to object. He could only nodded and said, "General Zang, let's see what happens!  I have no opinion.  " Half an hour later, more than a dozen bloody heads were hung at the top of the city and at the entrance of the military camp, warning the entire army that whoever dared to escape would be punished. Although Zang Ba's decisiveness and ruthlessness prevented the soldiers from escaping, it also made the soldiers flee.  He was even more panic-stricken and more afraid of death. As the night gradually fell, a torch suddenly lit up three times in the corner of the tower, and then a gun with a letter was shot down the city. The Han army patrol soldiers had already noticed it and rushed over to pick it up.  After receiving the letter on the ground, he immediately returned to the military camp to report. Zhao Yunzheng discussed with Wenpin and Liu Hu how to attack the city. Liu Jing only gave them three days. Today is the first day, and the Han army has not yet launched an offensive.  At this time, Pang Tong, who was standing aside, smiled slightly and said: "Three generals, don't worry, Yedu is only guarded by 30,000 new soldiers. Three days is enough to capture the city.  " Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that three days is enough. The key is how to capture the city at the minimum cost and finally defeat the enemy without fighting.  " At this moment, a soldier reported at the tent door, "Report to the Governor, there is a letter shot from the top of the city. It is a letter to the Governor.  " Zhao Yun was refreshed. He quickly took the letter, opened it, read it, and smiled at the others: "It was sent by Li Fu. He said that Cao Jun's military morale has been shaken, and suggested that we create momentum to scare Cao Jun's soldiers.  " Wenpin suddenly laughed, "The best way to make a splash is to attack with fire!  Liu Hu also nodded and said: "Attack with a trebuchet, burn the city of Yedu, and scare the courage of Cao's soldiers!"  " Zhao Yun asked Pang Tong again, "What do the military advisors think?  Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are all famous marshals who stand alone, so you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing."  " At the first watch, three hundred giant trebuchets of the Han army began to launch a fire attack on the capital of Ye. Tens of thousands of barrels of kerosene were thrown onto the east and south cities. The fires in the south and east cities soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. The fire engulfed the two cities.  A tower was ignited with flames reaching a height of more than ten feet, and thick smoke enveloped most of Ye Capital. The soldiers and civilians in Ye Capital fell into a huge panic. People living in Nancheng and Dongcheng rushed to the north of the city with their children.  The soldiers were also frightened. They fled from the city and ran out of the military camp, blending into the crowd and fleeing. The people were crying and screaming, and the soldiers abandoned their helmets and fled home desperately.  The dozens of heads during the day could no longer suppress their fearful hearts, and the morale of the army was seriously shaken. Under the instigation of the Han army scouts, the flight of a few people led to the flight of hundreds, and the flight of a hundred people led to the flight of thousands. Cao's army soon formed a  There was a huge wave of fleeing, and Zang Ba couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing even after killing dozens of people. Zang Ba had no choice but to throw away his sword, look up to the sky and sigh, "This is the sky that wants to destroy Cao Wei!"  "In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Zhi stared blankly at the blazing fire and billowing smoke. At this time, the Tongque Palace outside the North City had been occupied by the Han army. Now the Han army was attacking the city with blazing fire. Cao Zhi deeply understood what the end was coming.  Liu Ye next to him sighed and said: "This is what I expected!  Liu Jing used herself as bait to lure Xiahou Dun to go north. In fact, Xiahou Dun didn't care about the survival of Yedu at all.  " Cao Zhi was unusually calm and asked Liu Ye: "Does Zi Yang think that even Ye can't be saved?  Liu Ye shook his head, "This is just a warning from the Han army. If we don't respond, they will attack from all sides. I am afraid that the Ye Palace in Beicheng cannot be saved. Within two days, the capital of Ye will be captured by the Han army."  " Cao Zhi sighed lowly, "It's just me, but the whole city is buried with him, how unfortunate it is!  Liu Ye hesitated to speak. At this time, Yang En, the leader of Cao Zhi's bodyguard, rushed over and saluted Cao Zhi: "I am reporting to the Prime Minister that the defenders have erupted in a large-scale flight. I heard that more than 60% of the soldiers have fled."  .  " All the officials present were stunned. More than 60% of them fled. How could the capital city of Ye be defended? Cao Zhi remained calm and asked again: "What is the attitude of General Xiahou?  " "General Xiahou seemed to have been shaken. He asked me if the Prime Minister was willing to defend the position any longer.  " Cao Zhi sneered, "Is this Xiahou Dun's son?  How ridiculous!  " Cao Zhi looked back at everyone, "What do you mean?  Do we still want to resist?  ¡± Everyone said nothing and lowered their heads silently. It was obvious that everyoneNot wanting to fight anymore, Cao Zhi nodded and said to Liu Ye: "Please ask Ziyang to go out of the city to negotiate with the Han army, and say that I am willing to surrender to the Han army. I can die for my country, but I hope that the Han army will let all the soldiers and civilians of Yedu go.  " On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, the Yedu garrison collapsed under the strong pressure of the Han army. Overnight, 30,000 new soldiers fled and more than 20,000 people fled. Cao Zhi ordered to surrender, and Xiahou Mao and Zang Ba obeyed  Cao Zhi ordered the soldiers to lay down their weapons and led the remaining eight thousand soldiers out of the city to surrender.  At dawn, Cao Zhi held the seal and ribbon in his hand and led hundreds of officials out of the city to surrender to the Han army. Zhao Yun accepted Cao Zhi's surrender and immediately ordered 50,000 Han troops to enter the city to take over Yedu. With Yedu being captured by the Han army, it meant that Cao Zhi had controlled the establishment of the city for decades.  The Cao Wei Sheji finally came to an end.  Only the 90,000 Cao army led by Xiahou Dun are still confronting the main force of the Han army, and Cao Wei's last moment is coming.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®
