Chapter 246 Victory
On the city tower, arrows and stones rained like rain.

On the long street, arrows rained down like rain.

Within ten steps, Deng Aijun fell down one by one.

Deng Ai raised the ring sword, and the soldiers around him held shields to cover him.

But more and more people fell, making the situation already one-sided.

"Father!"

Finally, Deng Zhong also came to persuade.

Deng Ai can beat Tian Xu, but not his own son.

Looking back, many soldiers had already turned and fled.

"Don't leave, old thief Deng Ai!" Almost the whole city shouted, and the shouts were mixed with bows and arrows.

Deng Ai was furious, and yelled towards the sky: "Yang Zheng's son is going crazy!"

More and more people fell in the rain of arrows, Deng Zhong grabbed Deng Ai, "Father, retreat quickly! I will take revenge for this revenge in the future!"

This is also the thinking of most soldiers.

Deng Ai was furious, Duan Zhuo also stepped forward to support the other side, the two joined forces, lifted Deng Ai up, and retreated in a panic.

Retreating to the city gate, Duan Zhuo cupped his hands, "The general can retreat, and the subordinates will be cut off!"

Deng Ai is strict, but after all, he still has a few henchmen.

Duan Zhuo is one of them.

Duan's family from Liangzhou was born in Liangzhou. He is both civil and military. After he joined the army, he was promoted by Deng Ai to Sima. Today, he repays him with his life.

"Huo Ran!" Deng Ai also woke up from the mad dog state, "Where is Tian Xu?"

Tian Xu had already escaped from the city gate, but was followed by Deng Ai again. He had to come back, and he dared not come back, "The last general is here!"

"You come to the queen." Deng Ai left with Deng Zhong and Duan Zhuo without saying a word.

Tian Xu and dozens of soldiers stood in the city gate blankly...

"Don't leave, old thief!" Liu Heng was wearing armor and weapons weighing about sixty or seventy kilograms, so he couldn't catch up at all.

Yang Zheng, who was in the middle formation, didn't expect Deng Ai to turn around and run away, "Luo Huzi's cavalry chased him down!"

call-

The war horse neighed for a while, and dozens of horsemen rushed out from the formation and charged towards the city gate.

A corridor at the city gate was already narrow, but it became even more congested after dozens of riders charged in.

And a fire was ignited in the city gate, even though the people were not afraid, the horses retreated uncontrollably, crowded into a ball, unable to advance or retreat for a while.

Yang Zheng climbed directly onto the city wall.

Looking at the northern city, among the continuous hills and rocky mountains, Deng Ai has already retreated outside the city.

The terrain of Beicheng makes it difficult for cavalry to chase, and if they catch up, they may not be able to fight.

Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, it was still a bit short!
Why did Deng Ai retreat at the last moment?
If Deng Ai can be kept, then the Yongliang situation...

The Yongliang situation will only become more complicated.

The governor of Yongzhou is dead, and he and the Luoyang court have completely turned against each other, and there is no room for change.

Even if Sima and his son don't want to mess with themselves, a governor is killed, and under pressure from the central government, the siege of Xiping will be stepped up. It will be a real three-sided siege, and the entire Yongliang will be suppressed.

At that time, Guo Huai will definitely be pushed to the front row, and the governor of Liangzhou will also be replaced...

The existence of Deng Ai can also indirectly check and balance Guo Huai.

It is in Xiping's best interest for Yongliang to maintain the current situation.

At least so far, Yang Zheng does not have the courage and strength to rebel.

The reason why this battle can be won is also full of a lot of luck.

On the one hand, it was my own knowledge of Deng Ai, so I was cautious in every step, and I didn't catch Deng Ai's plan.

On the other hand, they took advantage of the gaps between Chen Tai, Guo Huai, and Jiang Wei to find a foothold.

If there is an open rebellion, Chen Tai is in the north, Guo Huai is in the east, and Xiping has nowhere to hide.

One should not belittle one's self, but one should not be blindly arrogant either.

Only by fighting without breaking can we survive.

So Deng Ai can't die by his own hands. As for whether he will die elsewhere, that's another matter. Yang Zheng can't control that far.

It depends on whether Jiang Wei winks like this.

"Stop chasing." Yang Zheng ordered.

Defeating Deng Ai this time has already boosted his confidence, and any victory has a psychological advantage.

Since he can beat him once, he can win the second time.

Just like being able to climb a high mountain, you can climb a second time.

After this battle, there will be a brief peace.

Looking at the mountains to the north, Yang Zheng feels relaxed and happy, and Xiping will usher in a new stage.

"Deng Shizai, there will be a meeting later!" Yang Zheng roared.

The voice transmitted back and forth between the mountain walls, "There will be a period later, there will be a period later..."

The figures on the hill suddenly stopped, and one could be seen turning around and roaring, "My carelessness, Lizi became famous..."

Then the man suddenly fell to the ground and was carried away by the people around him.

Only the echo of "Zhu Zi became famous" continued to echo.

Are you mad at yourself?
Yang Zheng was stunned for a while. If Sima and his son were blamed on him, he would be wronged.

Deng Ai is already in his 50s, which is definitely considered an "old age" in this era.

Liu Heng and the others didn't care about it, they pulled their throats and laughed.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" Shocking cheers resounded in the city.

This battle lasted for nearly a month, and Deng Ai had been suppressing and beating him in the early stage, and the bitter wind and rain had had enough.

Meng Yu escorted the captives into the city, pushing the atmosphere in the city to its peak.

When the scouts came to report, Meng Guan and Gong Feizhi cooperated with each other and captured the western camp, capturing 4000 Deng Aijun soldiers and 11 generals.

Only 4000 people from Deng Ai fled to the northeast.

"This battle, General, is enough to move the world!" Meng Yu laughed loudly.

Deng Ai was promoted by Sima Yi himself, and beating him was almost a slap in the face of Sima and his son.

It's just that Deng Aiyuan has not reached the height in history.

"Famous in the world, boasting too much, if you didn't fight hard, how could you win today?" Yang Zheng bowed his hands to the surrounding soldiers.

"General..." The soldiers were very moved one by one.

People in this era don't have so much flirtatiousness.

Comparing your heart to your heart, if you treat them well, they will work hard for you.

Back then, in order to entertain the powerful chieftains of the Qiang nationality, Dong Zhuo killed his own cattle to receive them.

Yang Zheng ordered to open the treasury of the Poqiang government, and except for the necessary food, other property and seized supplies were all rewarded to the soldiers.

The cheers of mountains and tsunamis sounded again in Poqiang City.

Go up.

Guo Huai did not guard Longxi, but stationed troops in Tianshui, and many caring people saw his intentions.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Luoyang's three hundred pacers were all killed, and Wang Ling's sister was sent back to Chang'an.

It has to arouse the imagination of many people.

What is the truth inside is not really important.

The important thing is that Wang Ling's sister is still alive, Guo Dudu doesn't want his wife to die.

Guo Huai held a piece of silk in his hand, his eyes flicked across the flying characters, but his expression was cloudy.

"The governor has received the grace of the country, and now His Majesty and the Queen Mother are in the hands of Sima and his son. How can the governor stand by and watch..."

Guo Huai hung the silk in the copper furnace, the flames rose up and quickly engulfed the silk.

Guo Huai rubbed his swollen temples.

In a trance, deep fatigue climbed up his face.

The majesty of the past has degenerated into old age.

Deng Ai was in his fifties, while Guo Huai was in his sixties. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was promoted to Xiaolian. Order history.

Since then, Guo Huai has been promoted step by step.

Followed Wei Wu to take Hanzhong, followed Xia Houyuan to fight Dingjunshan, and Zhang Yun gathered the defeated troops to reverse the crisis in Hanzhong. Later, Cao Pi was directly appointed as the governor of Yongzhou and named Sheyang Tinghou.

This level of identity is the key to the taboo of Sima and his son.

Mutual trust can be achieved between Guo Huai and Sima Yi, but it is difficult with Sima Shi.

"Father, there is another letter." Guo Tong hurried in.

This is the third letter recently.

The content is similar.

There are many people loyal to Cao Wei in the court and localities.

And as Sima Yi's condition worsened, many people became active.

"Burn." Guo Huai closed his eyes.

"It's always good to have more allies." Guo Tong couldn't guess what his father was thinking.

"Our Guo family has no allies, and we don't need allies."

"I heard that the Grand Tutor hasn't shown up for a month." Guo Tong's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Guo Huai sneered, "Why don't you ask General Cao Shuang and Taiwei Wang Ling?"

Guo Tong was surprised and said, "Father means..."

"I didn't say anything, you'd better not do anything, the Guo family is on the cusp of the storm, if you are a little careless, you will be wiped out."

"But if General Fujun insists on targeting my Guo family..."

"Him? It's still a little bit worse!" Guo Huai opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flowed.
