Chapter 385 The Scholar
In the stack.

"Report to the general, the Liang army has been dispatched, with [-] cavalry, claiming [-], heading straight to Chang'an!" The scouts came to report.

Jiang Wei's face instantly glowed, and if he rode [-], it was not a false attack, "Who is the general!"

"Du Yu."

"Du Yu?" Jiang Wei was taken aback, "Where is Yang Zheng?"

"Yang Zheng sits in Guzang."

Jiang Wei couldn't help being amazed, "Liangzhou can be regarded as a general, only Zhang Te, and the rest are just brave men, Yang Zheng will use Du Yu?"

No wonder he was puzzled, Du Yu had never had a famous record before.

To pacify the West Sea, rely on the strong to bully the weak.

In the battle of Yuyin, Du Yu defended the west bank and barely blocked the Yongliang army's attack, which is not a very famous record.

Moreover, all military achievements are counted on Yang Zheng, so Du Yu is relatively less conspicuous.

"Du Yu was born in the Du clan of Jingzhao, the son of Du Shu, the former governor of Youzhou, who ruled the Spring and Autumn Period Zuo Chuan, and was not good at bowing horses. If Yang Zheng took this man as his general, wouldn't 3 horses be buried in vain?" Huang Chong's family has a long history and extensive knowledge. However, when I went to Guzang as an envoy, it was not all fruitless, and I learned a lot.

Jiang Wei shook his head, "A good fighter has no great achievements, and Yang Zheng must have something unique about him as a general."

"Then, should our army go out or not?" Fu Qian didn't care who the general of the Liang army was, nor did he care about the battle situation in Chang'an, he only cared about what was in front of him.

The Shu army needs a victory too much.

Since the Battle of Qushan, the Shu army has lost one after another. Although some people have been captured, the balance of power between Yong and Liang has not been changed.

Others' Northern Expedition was just chanting slogans, but Fu Qian devoted himself wholeheartedly.

This time, the Shu army mobilized all the elites from Tazhong and Hanzhong to take Longyou in one fell swoop.

Since the death of Zhuge Wuhou, the Shu army has rarely fought such a big battle.

"Where's Deng Ai?" Jiang Wei asked the scout.

"Deng Ai's army is stationed in Didao."

Stationing in Didao is to guard against the Shu army.

"Then wait a little longer!" Jiang Wei held his breath.

The war had just begun, and there was no need for the Shu army to take the lead now, and Jiang Wei felt that Yang Zheng had other intentions in taking Du Yu as a general.

Among the three forces, everyone wants to maximize their own interests.

However, things often don't go our way.

After waiting for only one day, the edict from Chengdu came, ordering Jiang Wei to dispatch troops as soon as possible, making it difficult to transport food and grass in the rear.

Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, also advised Jiang Wei to send troops as soon as possible.

If it is too late, there will be changes. If there is a winner in the Guanzhong battle, there will be troubles in Longyou.

Although the Liang army is not at peace, it is the common interest of the two armies to attack the Sima family together.

As for the future, we will discuss it later.

The 2 Shu army in Dazhong and the [-] Shu army in Hanzhong are enough to deal with Deng Ai's [-] horses.

Hu Ji was once Zhuge Wuhou's boss, and he was clear and convincing.

Jiang Wei then mobilized [-] troops from Zhongshu and marched out of Qishan Mountain first. Deng Ai's general Duan Zhuo was well prepared and fortified, so Jiang Wei changed his army from Dong Ting to attack Nan'an.

The Shu army was aiming at Deng Ai's lair, so Deng Ai had to move and led the army to occupy Wucheng Mountain first.

The Wei army from Longyou assembled.

A big battle is about to begin.

Dongwei Bridge, the camp of the Liang Army.

Du Yu waited in the camp with a sullen face. To the south of the Wei River, the sound of killing was loud.

Pu Jin is a strong general, brave and fearless by nature, but also extremely reckless. Yang Zheng has always regarded him as his son, but as his status has risen over the years, some things have gradually changed.

Wang Yuan is a veteran of the Wuwei Battalion. Seeing that everyone else is getting up, he is still a captain, so naturally he is a little anxious.

The two were more or less pampered and did not take Du Yu seriously.

Although there were only more than [-] people, the momentum was overwhelming and everyone was brave.

Chang'an also has great appeal to ordinary soldiers.

The former capital of the Han Dynasty and the accompanying capital of the Wei Dynasty.

Inside is a colorful world.

"kill!"

The walls of the city were already boiling, and the Liang army erected simple long ladders, and climbed desperately to the city wall.

Pu Jin and Wang Yuan raised their arms in the rear and yelled, "Break through Chang'an, and you can take what's inside!"

Women, food, money and silk, as well as meritorious deeds, everything stimulated them.

Even if you hit your head and bleed, you will not hesitate.

However, no matter how crazy they are, Chang'an will always stand firm.

Chen Tai built a defense system with Chang'an as the core, rather than just operating the Weibei defense line.

Sima Fu personally guarded the city with the honor of a majestic Taiwei, which made the city as solid as gold.

4000 people want to break through Chang'an Fortified City, which is really a little overkill.

Thousands of arrows were fired outside the city, and the rolling wood and rolling stones were like raindrops, gradually drowning their blood.

After suffering more than 400 casualties, Pu Jin and Wang Yuan finally came to their senses.

This mighty city cannot be conquered by brute force alone.

Since you can't fight, then withdraw from the army.

Both of them felt that it didn't matter, and at most they would go back and eat a meal of army sticks and leather whips.

However, when they returned to Weibei, it was swordsmen and axes waiting for them.

"Take it!" Du Yu had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time.

The two groups of men and horses, from Duwei down, Qu Chang, Tun Chang, Shi Chang, and Xuan Yilang were all arrested.

Nearly a hundred people were held in front of the gate.

"Du Yu, you, how dare you kill me? I am an old general! You are just an outsider, and if you want to kill me, you will be killed by the general!" The two were still roaring hysterically.

"Cut!" Du Yu didn't have any nonsense.

The long knife in the ax hand fell, and there was blood in front of the gate, and the heads rolled.

"The rest of the soldiers will be beaten with fifty lashes!" Now Du Yu is no longer a scholar in the eyes of the soldiers.

Two to 3000 people were pressed in front of the barracks, and they were beaten up cracklingly.

The sound of sharp whips and screams made everyone in the barracks terrified.

Du Yu stood between the rolling heads, his feet were bright red, "Since the general has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I will do my best to repay it. Anyone who is beheaded will have his meritorious service cancelled, and his family members will be reduced to slaves. From today onwards, Those who go out to battle without my military order, if one person crosses the blood line, one person will be beheaded, if a hundred people pass, a hundred people will be beheaded! Military law is ruthless, everyone should remember it!"

The soldiers passed his words back and forth.

No one dared to question Du Yu's orders.

Not long after, more than a hundred human heads were stuck in front of the gate, and their blood-stained faces were still facing the camp.

In the big camp, Zhou Yu looked deeply at Du Yu.

And the generals around him were speechless, secretly thankful that they didn't attack rashly, otherwise the head in front of the gate would have its own.

Both Jiang Faye and Meng Xi had expressions of horror on their faces.

The two captains killed as soon as they said they would.

Two to 3000 people fought as soon as they said they would fight.

And Xuan Yilang in the army, almost Yang Zheng's disciple, was also beheaded.

"What a Du Yuankai!" Meng Xi gasped and touched his neck, feeling chilly.

Jiang Faye smiled wryly, "I'd better not cause trouble, this man really dared to kill, if he died at his hands, the general would have nothing to do."

"Exactly, exactly!" Several Qianghu generals around him also lowered their profile a lot, and they no longer had the arrogance they had before.
