    The infantry here spread out and clung to the wall. Xu Huang's cavalry over there rushed into the city immediately. On both sides of the cavalry were spears about ten feet long, like two sharp horns.  Before they arrived, the cold and sharp spears had already poked into the enemy general's body. Coupled with the rapid collision of the horses, the Wei soldiers blocking the door were immediately knocked away, and some were directly placed on the spears.  .  ¡ª¡ª

    Xu Huang took the lead and opened the way with his Sky-shaking Ax. The cavalry behind him took out the spears tied to the sides of the horses and threw them forward with force. This move was learned from Ma Chao's ghost cavalry back then, which made up for the following.  The cavalry was incapable of fighting.

    "Wow¡­¡­"

    The soldiers of the Wei army were hit everywhere by Xu Huang's wave of cavalry. Xu Huang even fought a bloody path on his own. The birthmark on his face looked ferocious now, as if he came from hell.  The demons and ghosts demanding their lives, the Wei army officers and soldiers could not withstand Xu Huang's sharp edge and retreated steadily.

    The bloody battle continued, and the arrival of Xu Huang pushed the bloody battle to a peak. Arrows rained like rain outside the city. After a series of shootings, the Wei army gradually fell into a disadvantage. In the city, Xu Huang and his cavalry were invincible. Although the Wei army  They fought to the death, but they could not withstand Xu Huang's sharp edge. In addition, all the Chinese troops were rushing behind them, and the city gate had become a place of purgatory.

    In the evening, as the sun sets, clouds that are rare in winter appear on the horizon. The clouds are like fire, echoing the blood-stained mess on the ground.

    On the high slope outside the city, Guo Jia was looking out with a telescope. When he saw the unusually hard battle in the city, he couldn't help but sigh: "One general's success can lead to thousands of bones being withered"

    "Sir Taiwei, can you let me take a look?" A childish voice suddenly came from behind Guo Jia.

    He panicked and turned around quickly.  But seeing Lin Lin standing behind him, he hurriedly said: "Second Master Gongshu, why did you come here suddenly?"

    "I'll watch the battle." Lin Lin walked to Guo Jia, spread his little hands forward, and said with a smile.

    Guo Jiali was stunned for a moment.  He tucked the telescope behind his back and said, "It's not appropriate for young children to let a father lose his son"

    "Bring it here!" Lin Linhu glared, and two cold rays of light burst out from his eyes. Although his voice was not loud, it was heard by others.  But it is extremely intimidating.

    Guo Jia frowned. Seeing Lin Lin's expression, he could hardly believe that a child could have such a powerful light. With such eyes, he was not a vicious person.  They are people who have experienced hundreds of battles.  However, he kept his hands behind his back and did not move at all. He was neither humble nor overbearing.

    Seeing that Guo Jia was unmoved, Lin Lin sneered and said, "Your Majesty Taiwei is really powerful, and he was not frightened by me. Just now, I imitated my father's expression of showing off his power. It's very similar, right?"

    Guo Jia nodded and said: "It looks very similar indeed. However, it is not suitable for children. After all, it is not suitable for children."

    "Tch! If you don't give it to me, don't I have one myself?" With that said, Lin Lin took out a telescope from his back, rolled his eyes at Guo Jia, and looked into Huayin Pass.

    "The second prince is too arrogant" Guo Jia was angry when he saw Lin Lin being so disrespectful to him.  But there was nothing he could do. This child was too naughty. He couldn't restrain him even if he took him with him, so he left him in Tongguan before the expedition.  Now he came here on his own. Although he accepted Lin Nan's imperial decree and wanted to take him to practice, he still believed that it was too cruel to let a child be exposed to these bloody scenes prematurely.

    Thinking of this, Guo Jia directly blocked Lin Lin with his body.

    Before Lin Lin saw the figure, he was blocked by Guo Jia. He was so angry that he put down the telescope and said with a slightly angry face: "Master Taiwei, are you blocking my view?"

    "It's not suitable for children. Besides, it's very dangerous here. There's a war ahead. What if you get hurt? You'd better go back quickly to save me from worrying. Since the Emperor has 'handed' you over to me, I have the obligation to take care of you."  You! Otherwise, if something happens, it will be a small matter for me to bear the blame alone. I am afraid that Emperor Long Yan will be furious and kill everyone. Do you think such a thing is a small matter?" Guo Jia's eyes were bright.  Neither humble nor arrogant, he stared directly at Lin Lin and scolded.

    Lin Lin didn't know why, but he actually felt a kind of fear towards Guo Jia. This kind of fear was something he had never felt in anyone other than Lin Nan.  He thought that Guo Jia was just a scholar, so why did he have such an aura that intimidated him in his bones?

    "I'm already here, so why not take a look? How about this? I promise you not to run around, and you also let me take a look at the battlefield in front of you. How about this?" Lin Lin said as if praying.

    Seeing that Lin Lin had restrained himself a lot, Guo Jia said: "A man keeps his promise, not to mention you are the Emperor's In that case,??Okay.  "

    He stepped aside. After all, he had also received Lin Nan's order to let him see what a real battlefield was, and he could also feel that Lin Nan did this because he wanted to train Lin Lin to become a soldier leader from an early age.  A general who fights a war.  Since Lin Nan, a father, is not worried, why should he worry anymore.

    Lin Lin then picked up the telescope again and looked into the distance. At first glance, he saw Xu Huang bravely killing the enemy inside the city gate, dancing with the sky-shaking ax, although Xu Huang was not among the five tigers.  Among the generals, in his opinion, they are almost the same as the Five Tiger Generals.

    For a moment, I could see that he was so excited that he wished he could rush to the front line to fight immediately.  However, he was just a glimpse into the situation. He only saw the majestic side of fighting on the front line, but he did not see the piles of corpses wherever the Chinese army passed.

    When he put down the telescope, Lin Lin laughed and turned to Guo Jia: "General Xu is so powerful and courageous. It really makes me excited to see him. His big ax is also a unique skill. After the war,  I also hope that Mr. Taiwei will help him teach me the martial arts of the big ax that he is currently performing!"

    Guo Jia was not surprised, because he knew very well that Lin Lin was a martial arts fanatic and was born with supernatural powers. If he didn't practice martial arts, he would have wasted such a good qualification.  He didn't understand Lin Nan's intention until now. Letting Lin Lin see the battlefield was second, and the real one was wanting Lin Lin to learn from his master.

    When he was in Wancheng, he heard that Zhang Liao had taught his marksmanship to Lin Lin. Today he heard that Lin Lin wanted to become Xu Huang's disciple, which further confirmed his guess.

    "Does the emperor want to train the second prince to become a figure like Lu Bu? If that is the case, with the second prince's qualifications and the unique skills of the generals in the army, he will definitely be able to become an unparalleled figure in the world." Guo Jia guessed.

    "Master Taiwei, why don't you speak? Do you look down on me?" Lin Lin asked when he saw Guo Jia was stunned.

    "No! Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Gongshu, I just want to give you a heads up." Guo Jia half-crouched down.  Looking at the little martial arts idiot in front of him, he said with a smile.

    "What?" Lin Lin asked puzzledly.

    "I already know what Master Gongshu is thinking. He just wants to learn those powerful skills. However, Master Gongshu seems to have forgotten one thing. The most powerful thing in the world is not any ultimate killing ability or martial arts skills" At this point.  Guo Jia paused deliberately, stopped talking, and looked at Lin Lin with a smile.

    "It's not martial arts? What is the most powerful thing?" Lin Lin asked suspiciously.

    Guo Jia smiled and said: "No matter how high your martial arts is, it is absolutely impossible to withstand an army of 100,000 people. No matter how high your martial arts is. No matter how outstanding your martial arts is, there will be a time when you are exhausted. With so many people, can you finish killing them?"

    Lin Lin thought for a moment, disagreed, and said coldly: "It's not too scary to make the enemy afraid to approach even if there are 100,000 of them. To resist 100,000 of them with one's own strength is a bit too much.  It's exaggerated, but as long as the force reaches its peak, it may not be impossible. Then, besides these, what else in the world can defeat a hundred thousand people with one's own strength?"

    Guo Jia smiled and said: "One hundred thousand is nothing? Even if there are millions of people, I only need to gently stretch out a finger, just one finger. While talking and laughing, a million-strong army will still be wiped out."

    After hearing this, Lin Lin was stunned. He looked at Guo Jia who said it so lightly, as if he could really completely destroy a million-strong army with just a few clicks.  He shook his head vigorously.  I have never heard that Guo Jia has such powerful martial arts. If he can really destroy millions of people with just a few clicks, then only a god can do it.

    "I don't believe it! You're talking nonsense! There is no such powerful martial arts in the world!" Lin Lin pouted and muttered.

    Guo Jiadao: "I didn't say martial arts, I said strategy!"

    "What is a strategy? How powerful is it?" Lin Lin sneered.

    "Young Master Gongshu, as long as you are good here, let alone millions, tens of millions of people will still be no match for you." Guo Jia pointed to his head and said earnestly, "Lu Bu have you ever heard of this man's name?  ?"

    "More than just heard of it? I also" Lin Lin wanted to say that he also got Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painted Halberd and its unique halberd technique, but he stopped immediately when he said it.  He hurriedly changed his words: "Who doesn't know about Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world? Why do you ask this?"

    "Because Lu Bu was killed by me!" Guo Jia said proudly.

    "Nonsense! Lu Bu was obviously killed by Guan Yu, how could he be 'killed' by you?" Lin Lin retorted.

    "Haha, you don't understand. Let's sit down and I'll tell you slowly. The story is long" Guo Jia smiled, took Lin Lin's hand and asked the soldiers to "get" two wooden pillars, then sat there and began to explain his glorious deeds to Lin Lin.

    In fact, by doing this, on the one hand, he attracted Lin Lin's attention and asked him not to focus on the battlefield. On the other hand, he also hoped that Lin Lin would not blindly learn martial arts. He hoped that after listening to his story, he could  Become a disciple of him, and then he will teach Lin Lin all the strategies he has learned throughout his life. Although Lin Lin will not become a wise man with outstanding strategies, it will not make Lin Lin a complete martial artist. Otherwise, then  Really ruined this good seedling.

    Guo Jia has his own plans. Looking at it, Lin Nan thinks so highly of Lin Lin, maybe this Lin Lin will be the future emperor in the future. If he becomes Lin Lin's master, then he will be a dignified imperial master. Once Lin Lin  Once you ascend the throne, your status will naturally be extremely prominent, just like Jia Xu is now.

    Here, Guo Jia is telling Lin Lin a story.  Over there, the Chinese army gradually poured out of the mountain road and headed towards the gate of Wengcheng in Huayin City. None of the Wei troops stationed at the gate surrendered. All nine thousand soldiers fought.  die.  The Chinese army also suffered a lot of casualties. The 30,000-strong army had lost more than 3,600 people.

    Xu Huang took the lead, risking the stone himself, and commanded the troops coming up from behind. Lin Yang and others pushed the giant shield into the gate of Wengcheng and began to use explosives to blow open the gate.  The battle reached its most intense moment.

    After placing the explosives, Lin Yang and others hurriedly retreated.  But when he heard a loud "boom" at the gate of the city, the gate of Wengcheng was blown open. Xu Huang moved his sky-shattering ax forward and shouted loudly: "Come into the city, no one will be killed."  Keep!"

    In the Wengcheng of Huayin City.  Seeing that the Chinese army was unstoppable, Cao Ren used explosives to blow open the city gate in an instant. He immediately shouted: "The whole army obeys the order. Anyone who takes a step back without any reason will be killed!"

    When Cao Ren gave an order, it was like a mountain of iron orders.  The officers and soldiers of the Wei army shared the same hatred with the enemy, and no one retreated. The remaining 10,000 soldiers in the city blocked the gate of Wengcheng, vowing to defend this pass to the death.  Even Cao Ren himself went down from the tower and picked up the sword.  He mounted his horse and led three thousand cavalry to attack Xu Huang.

    On the wall of Wengcheng, the archers of the Wei army were still rampant, shooting out armor-piercing cones one after another. The Chinese soldiers under the Wengcheng quickly pushed the giant shields over to block them, and Lin Yang led the crossbowmen to start a counterattack.

    Xu Huang took the lead and took the lead.  No one dared to stop the Sky-shattering Ax wherever it went, and more than a thousand cavalry fought bravely.  Behind him, Liao Hua led the infantry to see if there was a chance and saw countless Wei troops rushing towards the gate of Wengcheng. He immediately ordered: "Use explosives to shoot at the enemy soldiers."  If there are too many places, blow them up to death!¡±

    When the soldiers received the order, Liao Hua immediately gathered 20 soldiers with excellent arm strength and good throwing skills. Xu Huang fought in front.  Liao Hua and others threw the lit explosives far back.

    For a moment, the sky thundered, and bursts of explosions rang out among the Wei army. An explosive pack exploded, injuring more than a dozen people around them, some of whom were very close.  It was blown to pieces.  The explosions continued, and Xu Huang and others were frightened when they dismounted their horses. However, seeing that a bloody path had been blown up in front of them, the Wei army soldiers were all frightened and did not dare to approach. They simply asked everyone to dismount and fight on foot to fight with the Wei army.  street fighting.

    After Lin Yang dealt with many archers outside the Wengcheng, he immediately suppressed the archers on the Wengcheng, and then mobilized some of his troops to rush into the city to assist Xu Huang and others in the fight.

    Xu Huang rushed to the front with the Sky-shattering Ax, and the cavalry behind him immediately turned into infantry. Liao Hua and others drove the horses to a corner. Lin Yang filled the gap with the crossbowmen, using crossbow arrows to seize the enemy's weapons one by one in the gaps.  Life, the twenty soldiers throwing explosives are still throwing forward.

    On the side of the Wei army, Cao Ren came from the city on a war horse with three thousand cavalry, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

    The infantry of the Wei army gave way to a path one after another. Cao Ren brandished his sword and ran directly towards Xu Huang. His eyes were full of anger and he shouted: "Take your life!"

    Suddenly, an explosive bag fell in front of Cao Ren. The explosive bag was still making a "chichi" sound. Cao Ren's horse was fast and flew directly over, but the cavalry behind him suffered a disaster. Several fast horses  As soon as they passed by, there was a loud "boom" from behind. In the middle of the cavalry team, people immediately flipped over, and the horses behind were all frightened and fled in all directions.  They were crowded in front and behind, and were surrounded by Wei infantry on both sides. The cavalry collided with the infantry, and the infantry collided with the cavalry. For a moment, the Wei cavalry were thrown off their horses, and the horses trampled out of the crowd, killing more than a dozen people.  infantry.

    Cao Ren had no time to look back at this time. He was about to run in front of Xu Huang, but he saw Xu Huang suddenly holding a shaking ax across the middle.??Cracked out violently.  Unexpectedly, Xu Huang dodged to the left and swung his sky-shattering ax fiercely. The ax cut off the horse's legs. The war horse lost its front hoof and fell forward.

    Cao Ren was startled, but he was well prepared. He immediately jumped off his horse and saw his horse leaping into the crowd of the Chinese army, knocking away two soldiers, and he just landed.

    As soon as he landed, Cao Ren did not dare to hesitate. He stepped hard on the ground with both feet and turned his body half a circle. With the sword in his hand tightly, he swept through the entire army with one move and killed all the soldiers surrounding the Chinese army.

    A streak of blood dipped on Cao Ren's steel sword. Seeing Xu Huang not far from his left, he quickly rushed towards Xu Huang. He was risking his life. He wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and he wanted to end the battle quickly.  , as long as Xu Huang is killed, all major issues can be settled, and the Huayin Pass can be defended.

    "Don't you know, Xu Huang also thinks the same way, thinking that as long as Cao Ren is killed and the enemy general is lost, it will be much easier to deal with the infantry.  Swinging the sky-shaking ax, he flew towards Cao Ren.

    The two tigers were fighting with each other, their swords and axes clashing. Once they collided, sparks immediately appeared in the dusk. Their eyes faced each other, full of hatred, wishing they could kill the other side with their own weapons.

    After a series of clashes of weapons, Xu Huang and Cao Ren fought together.  At this time, the Wei army also rushed up and collided with the Chinese army. There was a fight at the gate of Wengcheng, and the blood had already stained the earth. In this cold winter.  A blood swamp formed on the ground.

    The hot blood stained the ground, melting the white snow on the ground. The snow mixed with the blood made the distance become muddy.  However, no one paid attention to these situations and only focused on fighting forward.

    Liao Hua led people to climb the wall of Wengcheng.  All the archers were killed, and the crossbowmen were summoned from behind and lined up on the city wall, specializing in 'shooting' the Wei army's face. The arrows were like rain, and there were no missed shots. For a time, the Wei army suffered many casualties.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    Accompanied by a rumbling explosion.  Wengcheng formed a battlefield of purgatory. Soldiers from both sides did not retreat even half a step, fighting bloody battles for the city gate.  After all, the Wei army had a small number of people, and they lost the line of defense on the city wall. Although the archers continued to fire arrows from behind, they were far behind compared with the Chinese army's crossbowmen.  Others fired five arrows, but Wei Jun only fired one arrow, and it was difficult for an archer without the skill of piercing the Yangtze with a hundred steps to hit the enemy's vital point.  In comparison, although the Wei army was on par with the Huaxia army in terms of armor, it still suffered a disadvantage in terms of overall combat effectiveness.

    After a bloody battle, the soldiers of the two armies became confused and the explosives stopped shooting. Only the crossbowman standing on the city wall was still shooting with precision, looking for a  Wei army soldiers.  That is to say, an arrow is shot out, specifically at the enemy's front door.

    At dusk, the color of the sky is gradually dimming, and there is a fight in the city.  Xu Huang and Cao Ren were equally matched, with their swords and axes clashing.  They were incompatible with each other and had the same potential as fire and water. They vowed to see the difference immediately. The two fought for more than forty moves, but the winner was still undecided.

    Outside Huayin City, the Huaxia Army blocked the entire passage with people waiting to enter the city. There was still a long queue of people outside. All the soldiers in the rear army did not want to rush forward to fight. However, the capacity in the city was limited, and the Wei Army fought to the death.  If they don't retreat, the Chinese army will be helpless.

    On the high slope outside the city, Guo Jia finished telling Lin Lin his glorious past, and then asked: "Master Gongshu, now do you know what is the most powerful?"

    "If it's what Mr. Taiwei said, then the strategy is indeed great" Lin Lin thought for a while, stood up, patted his butt, looked ahead, and said: "If one day I can command an army, I will definitely ask him to  Lord Taiwei will be my military advisor and advise me."

    Guo Jiadao: "Don't you want to learn strategy when Gongshu is young?"

    Lin Lin suddenly turned around, knelt on his knees in front of Guo Jia, and bowed: "Teacher, please accept the bows of my students!"

    Guo Jia was a little surprised when he saw Lin Lin's sudden arrival, and he was actually kneeling on his knees. However, he was unmoved and did not show any panic.  Although Lin Lin was the second prince, this bow established their master-disciple friendship. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the apprentice bowing to his master.  He smiled, reached out and stroked Lin Lin's head, and said, "You can teach me"

    Half an hour later, the fighting in the city was basically over. In the collision of blood and courage, the Chinese army won the victory, and all the remaining 800 people of the Wei army were captured.  However, the sound of fighting was still heard in the city. It was the battle between Xu Huang and Cao Ren. No one was allowed to intervene. There were no hidden arrows, only a contest of force.

    "Eighty moves! Aren't you going to admit defeat?" Xu Huang shouted while fighting.

      There were two wounds on Cao Ren's body, one on his left arm and one on his right leg, but Xu Huang's body was intact. Xu Huang was arrogant and powerful, but Cao Ren had no strength and looked tired.  shape.  The victory or defeat has long been decided, but Cao Ren has been holding on and refused to admit defeat.

    "Bang!"

    Xu Huang's sky-shattering ax hit Cao Ren's helmet directly, making a loud noise, and Cao Ren also fell to one side, his eyes were a little blurry, and he was about to fall down.  , Cao Ren thrust the sword into the ground, supported his body, and did not fall down.

    Cao Ren shook his head vigorously, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He saw Xu Huang's lips moving, but he couldn't hear the sound.  Looking around at the circle of captured soldiers and the stumps on the ground, he felt extremely sad in his heart: "Am I going to lose like this? No! I must not lose. Once I lose, the Chinese army will march straight in. When the time comes,  When the army approaches the city, there are not many defenders in Chang'an City, so they are completely vulnerable"

    When he thought of this, Cao Ren gritted his back molars, his eyes burst out with great anger, he held the sword tightly in both hands, shouted "Ah", and rushed towards Xu Huang.

    Xu Huang saw Cao Ren rushing over again. His legs and arms were already covered with blood, which was also condensed together at this time.  He kept shaking his head and said: "You can't beat me. How can you understand that if you continue to fight like this, what does it mean to you? The Kingdom of Wei is about to be destroyed. I think you are a general. Only then can you understand."  No pain in the ass!"

    Cao Ren was deaf in both ears and could not hear what Xu Huang was saying at all. He just held on to the faith in his heart and rushed towards Xu Huang, shouting: "I can never lose!"

    "Dang!" Xu Huang struck with an axe.  He directly knocked the weapon in Cao Ren's hand away, kicked Cao Ren on the chest, kicked Cao Ren to the ground, and said angrily: "You are obsessed with this!"

    "General! Cao Ren is Cao Cao's direct relative, of the same clan, and will never surrender. If we kill him, we can garrison Bashang tonight. Soldiers are valuable and quick!" Lin Yang reminded.

    After Xu Huang heard Lin Yang's words, he frowned, his eyes bursting with murderous intent. When he saw Cao Ren getting up from the ground again, his eyes were filled with hatred.  Just as he was about to attack him, he ordered: "In this case, it is useless to leave him alone. Shoot him to death and leave his body intact."

    After saying that, Xu Huang gently closed his eyes and saw countless arrows shot towards Cao Ren, using the armor-piercing awl produced by Wei Jun.  Then Xu Huang heard a muffled sound, and when he opened his eyes, Cao Ren had been pierced by thousands of arrows.  He knelt on the ground with his head hanging down, but he did not fall to the ground. When he died, he never heard Cao Ren cry out.

    Xu Huang probably felt a sense of sympathy for each other.  After all, for the past five years, the two of them have been stationed at the border, separated only by dozens of miles of mountain roads. The most common name and the most common thing they heard was what happened to Cao Ren.  But from now on, he would never hear this again, which made him feel more sad.

    He sighed heavily and said, "Give General Cao a generous burial."

    Then, he heard the cries of more than 800 captured Wei soldiers. He glanced at them and said, "Those who surrender will be spared death, otherwise, they will end up like Cao Ren."

    Suddenly, more than 800 prisoners shouted at the same time: "General, I'll let you go!"

    In one moment, more than 800 prisoners suddenly broke free and crashed directly towards the city wall. After hearing a series of muffled sounds, all the captured soldiers smashed their heads and lay on the ground convulsing to death.

    Xu Huang's heart felt desolate again, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army also felt inexplicable sadness when they saw it. Of the 20,000 soldiers in Huayin City, not one of them had ever surrendered, nor had anyone escaped, not even one of them had escaped.  The door was never opened, and everyone spilled their blood on the palm-sized area between the city gate and the barbican. Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed into rivers.

    And the Chinese army also paid a heavy price. Thirteen thousand people were killed in the 30,000-strong army. The Kwantung Army lost tens of thousands of troops in its first expedition. This was also a blow to Xu Huang.  After two days and one night of fierce fighting, the difficult bone of Huayin City was finally broken.

    "Liao Hua stayed behind and buried all the fallen soldiers. Although they were not in the same camp, they all sacrificed their lives for the country and deserve our comfort. Lin Yang followed me, gathered all the horses in the city, and 'draw' those who had not participated in the battle from the rear army  Troops, come with me to Bashang, and all matters in Huayin will be handed over to the Taiwei." Xu Huang carried the sky-shattering ax, mounted a horse, and headed towards the west of Huayin City.  'Men' ran to the door and waited there, but he didn't want to see these sad scenes again.

    The battle was victorious and the Chinese army captured Huayin City, butNo one thinks this is an honor. On the contrary, every soldier has a trace of sadness left in his heart.  The spirit of Cao Ren and his 20,000 troops deserves their respect.  The 20,000-strong iron army built by Cao Ren himself was also wiped out in this battle.

    There were more than 3,800 horses left in the city. Xu Huang mobilized an equal number of horses from the rear army and brought three days of dry food from the treasury of Huayin City. Without time to rest, he immediately went to the city.  Ba Shang galloped away.  The soldiers were very fast, and a forced march at this speed could only advance as far as Bashang. Moreover, Xu Huang did not expect that the battle would be delayed for so long. The resistance of the Wei army surprised him.  And with the few troops he had, it was just wishful thinking to attack Chang'an City, so a surprise attack on Bashang was out of the question.

    Afterwards, Xu Huang and Lin Yang left with more than 3,800 people, leaving Liao Hua to clean up the mess and Guo Jia to make overall arrangements.

    ¡­¡­

    The news that Huayin City was besieged by the Chinese army had already reached Chang'an City. After hearing the news, there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City.

    Prince Cao Ang hurriedly gathered the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss countermeasures, and summoned Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Cao Zhen, and Xia Houheng overnight for discussion.

    In the prince's mansion, Cao Ang was sitting there. Seeing everyone arriving one after another, he immediately said: "My father has not returned from the southern expedition to Shu Han. The army is still in Shu, and now Huayin Pass is under attack. What if this  If the Huaxia Kingdom attacks Liangzhou again, what can we do to resist it? All the princes of the Wei Dynasty are good men, so we should think of a way as soon as possible. "

    Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Liu Ye and Man Chong all looked at each other.  I haven't thought of any good solution for the time being. After all, the country is empty and there are no soldiers or generals. How can we support it?

    "Your Majesty, I think we can send people to the Qiang immediately. We request the Qiang people to send troops to assist us. Since we, the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Qiang people have united, they have become an integrated whole. Most of the local officials in Liangzhou are held by Qiang people.  Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer. King Qiang must understand this truth," Xia Houheng said immediately with fists in his hands.

    Cao Ang said: "General Xiahou's words are reasonable"

    This is Xia Houheng, the eldest son of Xia Houyuan. He is eighteen years old, brave and resolute, and quite like his father.  Prince Cao Ang was in charge of the country, so he appointed Xia Houheng as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, responsible for guarding the safety of the palace.

    "It's the New Year at this time. The Qiang people also have their own customs. If you invite the Qiang people to fight at this time, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. General Xiahou and Xu Junshi are stationed in Liangzhou, so it must not be a big deal, and Liangzhou is mostly populated by Qiang people.  Once the land is attacked, the Qiang people will automatically fight back without us saying a word. What I am worried about is not Liangzhou, but Hua Yin, and the top priority should be to send reinforcements as soon as possible to support Hua Yin." Chen Qun said.

    Cao Ang nodded and said, "That makes sense"

    "Huayin City is unbreakable, and General Cao's army is an iron army with excellent armor. It is a first-class city. Even if the Chinese army has magical powers, they may not be able to break through Huayin City. The most urgent task is still in Liangzhou  . The Northwest Field Army of Huaxia has 200,000 troops and has been eyeing Liangzhou. Although General Xiahou and Military Advisor Xu are there, the Qiang people are not strong enough to resist on their own, but they are not controlled by the Wei Dynasty. They are like a piece of loose sand.  The 200,000-strong Northwest Field Army is probably just throwing an egg at a stone. Moreover, the Qiang people also have selfish motives. In the past two years, the Qiang people's desires have expanded and they have constantly made unreasonable demands, all of which were rejected by His Majesty.  I didn't say it, but I will certainly hold a grudge. I thought it would be best to send envoys to the Qiang Kingdom first to appease the Qiang King.

    After hearing this, Cao Ang nodded again and said, "It makes sense"

    At this time, a palace man immediately rushed in, walked to the side of Prince Cao Ang, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left immediately.  After hearing this, Cao Ang's face changed color, he suddenly stood up, looked at everyone present, and said: "Everyone! Hua Yin was lost, Zhendong General Cao Ren and all the 20,000 soldiers in the city died heroically"

    "What? How is this possible?" Xia Houheng yelled after hearing this.

    After hearing this, the rest of the people also had a look of surprise on their faces. The important town of Huayin was built by Cao Ren. It was said that not even a fly could fly over it. But today, it only lasted two days and one night.  Why was Huayin City captured by the Chinese army?  This piece of news, like a depth bomb, exploded directly among the crowd, making them all ask themselves: Could it be that these Chinese troops are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and they were able to overcome this level in such a short period of time.

    Just as everyone showed surprise, Cao Zhen, who had been sitting there for a long time without speaking, frowned, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists towards Cao Ang and said: "Your Highness, please give the order immediately, the whole city is on guard.  Close the door and prepare for war."

    Cao Ang asked: "Zidan, what does this mean?"

      "If Hua'yin' is lost, the Chinese army will be able to march straight in. The counties and counties along the way will definitely look down on the wind. I'm afraid that the front of the Chinese army is already on the way to Chang'an. After all, where is Hua'yin?  We don't know how many troops have been lost and how many troops have arrived. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case the Chinese army invades in large numbers, then the twenty thousand troops in Chang'an City are not enough to resist it now.  They can only temporarily mobilize troops from the local area and distribute weapons to the people in the city as a bluff. Seeing that our army is heavily guarded, the Chinese army will not attack rashly. At the same time, they immediately send people to Wudu to invite General Zhenxi and Wudu.  Wait for Zhang Xiu to bring troops to help, and send a quick horse to notify Hanzhong, so that Hanzhong can also send troops to help, and at the same time convey this news to Your Majesty. Chang'an City has enough food and can hold on for more than a year," Cao Zhen planned.

    After Chen Qun and Yang Xiu heard this, they felt that Cao Zhen¡¯s plan was very appropriate. They hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "We will second the proposal!"

    Liu Ye and Man Chong also agreed, clasping their fists and saying, "What General Cao said is true!"

    Xia Houheng also admired Cao Zhen and had a good relationship with Cao Zhen. He immediately suggested: "Your Highness, the only one who can save Chang'an at this time is Cao Zidan. Please entrust the entire city's troops and horses to General Cao, and General Cao will unify it."  Scheduling!¡±

    Cao Ang once listened to Cao Xiu's advice and tried his best to win over Cao Zhen. However, Cao Zhen did not form a party for "private interests" at all, so he was not a person and did not interact with Cao Pi.  But at this time, seeing that Xia Houheng strongly recommended Cao Zhen, and there were not many generals in the court, only Cao Zidan, he nodded in agreement and said, "General Ying Yang, Cao Zhen listens to the order!"

    Cao Zhen immediately knelt down and worshiped: "General Cao Zhen, General Yingyang, accepts the order."

    Cao Ang said: "My father ordered me to supervise the country, so in the name of supervising the country, I personally gave the tiger talisman to my beloved. Except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, all soldiers and horses can be mobilized. I made you the great governor and the governor of all military affairs. When necessary,  It can be arbitrary and does not need to be reported.¡±

    "Cao Zhen accepts the decree!" Cao Zhen bowed.

    Cao Ang said: "The imperial edict was issued subsequently. Duke Chen and Duke Yang also requested all of them to assist the governor. When the difficulties are overcome and the father returns, it will be a victory."

    Chen Qun and Yang Xiu were the founding heroes of Cao Wei's restoration of the country, and they were both made dukes by Cao Cao. Chen Qun was the Duke of Fu, and Yang Xiu was the Duke of An. Their treatment was even higher than that of the others.  After hearing this, the two people looked at each other and said, "I obey your order!"

    Subsequently, Cao Zhen began to mobilize troops and horses, and the Wei army began to take action, while Liu Ye and Man Chong began to inventory the treasury, post notices, recruit new soldiers into the camp, and began active preparations for war.

    The New Year's Eve of 196 AD was an unusual day. It was a happy day for the Chinese nation, because not only did they defeat Jinghan this year, they also achieved an initial victory in the Northwest Campaign. The victory was reported soon.  Passed to the imperial capital.

    In the severe winter without homing pigeons, the scouts of China are still sticking to the front line. They may be running in the ice and snow, or hiding in a cave, or they may be quietly collecting intelligence in other countries.  But no matter where they are, China's victory will never be separated from them.

    Some ministers were also surprised by the speed at which news from the Huaxia Kingdom was transmitted. They did not know how powerful a team Bian Xi had trained, let alone the total number of scouts in the country. They just knew that no matter what new news there was,  , the scouts always deliver the news as quickly as possible.

    In the palace of Luoyang City, Lin Nan was sitting in a side hall, surrounded by a fire, making the side hall look as warm as a spring day.  In front of him, there was a table of delicacies. He raised his hand, smiled and said to Bian Xi and others surrounding him: "You are all the elite members of the scout team. It is rare for me to get together with you today."  Last time we got together, everyone usually ate and slept outside. Today I have prepared delicious food for you. Please eat and drink to your heart's content. It has been rare for you to have a New Year's Eve in the past. This year I will give you a special reward.  As a 'female', I will be your mother-in-law. From now on, I will stay in the imperial capital and train more scouts for me."

    Bian Xi hurriedly turned to his subordinates and said, "Why don't you quickly thank Your Majesty for your kindness?"

    Twenty scouts' elites hurriedly stood up and knelt down to worship: "I'm waiting to thank you for your kindness!" Ha Novel¡ª¡ª28704dsuaahhh29467191¡ª¡ª>
