Shuhan

Chapter 229 Is Liu Gongsi really so clever?

"Your Highness speaks like this, what else do you want me to say? The matter of cutting the five cities was originally here for discussion. Your Highness made such a claim and attacked Xinxi secretly, which is already a betrayal of the alliance. Now that I return to the Kingdom of Wei, I will raise the army of the Kingdom of Wei. Come and ask for an explanation!"

Even though he was in Xiyang City, the words of the envoy of King Wei were still extremely hard.

That tone seemed to disregard life and death.

"If Your Highness still calls it benevolence and righteousness, then he will return Xinxi City to our country Wei, then this covenant still needs to be discussed, otherwise, our country Wei will definitely send troops to come, don't say that it is not predictable!"

Liu Chan shook his head, and said affectionately: "Messenger, I, Liu Gongsi, have a heart of fists! I have absolutely no intention of betraying the alliance, and I hope the envoy will learn from me!"

"Humph!"

The envoy of King Wei snorted coldly, and said: "Your Highness, don't say anything more, either let me go, or kill me!"

"Hey~"

Liu Chan sighed, and said: "I don't want the attack on the city last night to cause a gap in the messenger's heart. If so, the messenger can leave as much as possible and report the matter to your master. If you want to cut five cities, I will do so." Alliance with you Wei, if not, don't blame me for sending troops."

As he said that, Liu Chan also had killing intent in his eyes, and he returned the words of the envoy of King Wei to him intact.

"Don't say that you don't predict what you say!"

"Humph!"

Seeing that the knife and ax hand moved out of the way under Liu Chan's instruction, the envoy of the king of Wei was very angry, and immediately threw up his sleeves and left.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the 800 grain carts had long since disappeared, leaving only [-] people guarding the grain team.

"Where's my food?"

Qu Wei, the leader of the grain transportation team, stepped forward and said, "The envoys have all been transported away by Jingzhou soldiers."

Shipped away.

Call ~
The envoy of the king of Wei let out a deep breath, then closed his eyes, his body trembled a few times, and then he calmed down his surging mood.

"Forget it, it was originally given to that shameless You. Now, we have to stabilize the situation!"

He said to the leader Qu Wei: "Runan is in danger now, go back to Yiyang first, and then make other plans!"

As he said that, the envoy of the king of Wei drove his horse forward. The leader Qu Wei didn't know the joint, but he had no choice but to greet his soldiers, and followed the envoy of the king of Wei to leave Xiyang City.

Runan in danger?
Isn't it an alliance with Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong?
How can there be danger?

Traveling to Yiyang, the envoy of King Wei went straight into the city and found the county magistrate of Yiyang.

"Yin Xianzun, Liu Gongsi, the Prince of Hanzhong, betrayed the alliance and attacked Xinxi last night, and now Xinxi is in his hands!"

The envoy of the King of Wei didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

The county magistrate of Yiyang was named Yin Shou, and he was from the Yin family in Runan, and it was rumored that he came from the royal family of the Shang Dynasty.

of course
The vicissitudes of life, the passage of time, and the background of Shang Dynasty, what is it?
It's not that you can only be the county magistrate of one county, and it's difficult to become a high official.

With no family history handed down from generation to generation, and no military achievements, it is not easy to stabilize the family's wealth.

"The Crown Prince of Hanzhong is very cunning, and this alliance is indeed impossible."

Seeing that the magistrate of Yiyang was not surprised when he heard the news of Liu Chan's sneak attack on Xinxi City, he sighed heavily and said, "It's because I didn't see the character of the Prince of Hanzhong clearly, and thought he was a trustworthy person. If you don’t want to, you’re a person who doesn’t believe what you say!”

Yin Shou, magistrate of Yiyang County, looked at Wei Wang's envoy, but said: "Soldiers are deceitful, in the final analysis, I still trust others."

As long as you don't take risks, you won't suffer huge losses.

It was Wei Guotai who wanted to eliminate the scourge of Liu Gongsi, the prince of Hanzhong in Runan County.

So much so that he stumbled on him again.

"Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu Gongsi has become an enemy of our country Wei, what should we do now?"

The Wei Wang envoy's eyes flickered, and he said: "I have sent an envoy to inform the king. The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation."

"There are 4000 soldiers and horses in the city, plus nearly [-] of the envoy's subordinates. There are a total of [-] troops. Maybe we can take advantage of the Jingzhou soldiers' attack on other cities, and then take down Xinxi City! Take Xinxi, what will happen to the situation in Runan?" , it’s different.”

Three thousand soldiers?

The envoy of King Wei was stunned.

"How can there be 3000 people in the city?"

Yiyang is not a large county, and there are only a thousand guards in the city. Where did these 3000 people come from?

"It was sent by Shouchun. The king probably expected that Liu Gongsi would not be so honest, so he sent three thousand soldiers over."

in fact
The 3000 troops were obtained by Sima Yi in front of Cao Pi.

As an enemy, Sima Yi naturally wanted to make Runan County a monolith and let Liu Chan return without success.

Unfortunately.
No amount of preparation can compare to a pig teammate.

With Li Ji around, even if there were a hundred thousand troops, they could all be crushed by him.

"If you add 3000 people, you have a real chance to win Xinyi!"

Xinxi is in the north of the Huai River. As long as the Jingzhou soldiers are driven to the south bank of the Huai River and the defense line of the Huai River is rebuilt, Huainan can still be kept!

The words of the magistrate of Yiyang made Wei Wang's envoy fall into deep thought.

Thinking of the changes in the situation after taking back Xinxi City, and the great achievements he may have made, no matter how well-trained he is, he can't help breathing quickly.

done.

"Soldiers are precious and fast, send troops tonight and get back the new breath!"

Yin Shou nodded heavily, and complimented on the side: "The envoy is wise!"

That night.

It was completely dark.

Outside Yiyang City, in the silent night, three thousand Wei soldiers gathered silently in the barracks.

In the cold night wind, the light of the armor was faintly cold, and he stepped on the ground neatly, as if moving freely.

Their eyes were firm, and there was a sense of determination and preparation in their eyes.

In silence, the soldiers inspected their weapons and adjusted their equipment. They were like ghosts in the dark night, revealing the soldiers' iron-blooded will.

When the moonlight fell, a quiet order sounded, and the three thousand Wei soldiers acted in tacit agreement, lined up in line, and moved forward slowly in unison.

Under the night, their figures merged into the darkness, like a flowing black shadow, which seemed to have a life-like rhythm.

They walked lightly through the woods and across the creek without causing the slightest commotion.

A horse with a title, a man with a grass, fleeing from the distant division, hoping that the gods will descend from the sky!

The soldiers communicated in whispers, passing information tacitly to each other, without too much language, everyone knew the next task.

The Huai River is like a silver ribbon, flowing quietly in the night.

The advance speed of the Wei army was methodical, and they gradually approached the Huai River.

A shadow of a boat moored quietly on the shore, waiting for their arrival.

With an order, the soldiers boarded the ship tacitly, and the ship shook slightly, as if blending into the night.

The Huai River flows quietly, and the moonlight sprinkles on the water, reflecting a little silver light.The sound of the ships moving was weak and even, as if blending into the tranquility of the night, silently crossing the dark deep water, heading towards Xinxi City.

After crossing the Huai River, the Wei army stopped outside Xinxi City, quietly waiting for new action instructions.

They divided into small groups, approached the city wall quietly, and hid themselves in the night, with traces of murderous intent permeating the air.

suddenly!

On the originally dim Xinxi City, countless flames suddenly ignited, instantly reflecting the city walls like daylight.

The face of Wei Wang's envoy turned pale in an instant, and he knew what it meant - he was ambushed by the enemy!

The flames reflected in the eyes of Wei Wang's envoy, and he could clearly see figures standing on the city wall.

Changshan Zhao Zilong?
The fear and anger in his heart were intertwined, and he tried his best to calm down his emotions.

"Get ready to fight!"

The envoy of the king of Wei gave the order without hesitation, and the Wei army around him quickly formed a team, and the sound of roaring horns resounded through the night sky.

"Woooooo~"

However, under the light of the fire, what they faced was an elite Han army.

Those figures were extraordinarily majestic under the reflection of the fire, the light of the armor flickered, and the weapons showed a cold and stern killing intent.

Wei Jun's formation looked messy. Facing this sudden ambush, they were obviously caught off guard.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In the night wind, the howling arrows shot, piercing the air in an instant, and the sharp sound was like the whisper of death.

The Wei army's formation began to be chaotic. Some people screamed and fell, and some waved their weapons trying to fight back. For a while, chaotic shouts and weapons clashed on the battlefield intertwined.

The envoy of King Wei gritted his teeth. He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

However, the situation in front of him made him feel even more powerless.

The figures under the flames barely gave them a chance to breathe, they kept pushing forward like an overwhelming tide.

The fire illuminated the battlefield and unveiled the horror of this night battle.

The Wei army was forced to fight hard, but their resistance was insignificant in the face of the pressure of the Han army.

They screamed and screamed, but they couldn't change their upcoming fate.

The heart of Wei Wang's envoy sank to the bottom, he didn't want to admit all this, but the reality was in front of him.

What he was facing was an elite Han army, an ambush that had already been prepared.

The firelight illuminated his face, and his eyes were full of anger, fear and helplessness.

The night attack was so fast tonight, who spread the news in advance?

There are ghosts!
Seeing that the formation was getting more and more scattered, and the defeat was set, the envoy of King Wei hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!"

After shouting, he took the lead and reined in his horse to retreat.

After rushing to the Huai River, the horses under him started to foam at the mouth, and the envoy of King Wei stopped in shock.

The good news is that the Han army in Xinxi City did not catch up.

The bad news is that the battle was lost.

Originally, there were still three thousand mobile troops in Runan County.

In the end, I searched for him, and now I can only be beaten passively, and cannot take the initiative to attack.

"Withdraw to Yiyang first, then make plans!"

The envoy of King Wei hurried across the river with the remnant army, his heart was heavy and depressed, and the defeat just now made him feel extremely ashamed and angry.

He was eager to return to Yiyang City and report to King Wei, hoping to get reinforcements to calm the situation.

Passing through a claustrophobic valley path, the pace of the remnants of the Wei State was hurried and tense.

However, what they didn't realize was that the Han army's ambushes had already been laid around the valley.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing led Wu Yi to crouch in a hidden corner of the valley for a long time, waiting for the best opportunity.

Just when Wei Wang's envoy and his party almost thought it was safe, a sharp horn sounded suddenly. In an instant, the valley was surrounded by flames, the drums of the Han army shook the sky, and the shadows of swords and swords reflected the night.

"Ambush! Guards, prepare to fight!"

The voice of Wei Wang's envoy was terrified. They hurriedly adjusted their formation, but the situation had quickly gotten out of control.

The Han army led by Zhang Bao and Guan Xing rushed out like tigers pouncing on their food. Their figures were like lightning in the flames, fast and fierce.

clang clang ~
Boom boom boom!
Swords, lights and swords crisscrossed, the sound of war drums was deafening, and the chaos and disorder on the battlefield caught Wei Jun by surprise.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

"If you capture the envoy of the King of Wei alive, there will be a lot of rewards!"

The ambushing Han army rushed towards Wei's remnant army like crazy.

The figures of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing quickly cut into the enemy's formation, their weapons flickered in the night, and every swing brought irresistible power.

"Fight them! Protect the messenger!"

The generals of the Wei army shouted loudly, but the chaotic battle situation made it difficult for them to organize effective resistance.

The Han army's offensive was swift and orderly, but the Wei army fell into a passive and beaten situation.

In the corner of the battlefield, the Wei Wang envoy's face was ashen, he knew that all this was caused by his own negligence.

His heart was extremely heavy. They thought they could retreat safely, but they didn't expect to encounter a greater disaster here.

Liu Gongsi!
Is this all in your expectation?
Battles are like storms, changing rapidly.

Although the resistance of the Wei army was tenacious, the offensive of the Han army was unstoppable.

Under the shadow of the sword, the soldiers of the Wei army screamed again and again, their front line gradually collapsed, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

In the end, the offensive of the Han army intensified, and the Wei army was defeated. They threw away their helmets and armor, and fled in all directions.

The envoy of King Wei saw that the situation was irreversible, so he resolutely chose to give up, rushed out of the battle group alone, and fled back to Yiyang City with all his strength.

When he saw Yiyang City, the Wei Wang envoy was about to cry.

It's not easy!

It's not easy.

I actually came back alive.

Now, he finally experienced the ferocity of that Liu Gongsi.

No wonder even the former king suffered under his hands.

This is like opening the whole picture, and all his actions are counted.

squeak~
The gate of Yiyang City was opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.

Yin Shou, the magistrate of Yiyang County, was wearing strong armor, and led hundreds of people out of the city, and surrounded the envoy of King Wei.

After being ambushed twice, the envoy of the King of Wei has not many people under his command.

There are no more than a hundred remnants and defeated generals left, and all of them are exhausted.

"Yin Shou, what are you doing?"

Seeing Yin Shou surrounded him, the envoy of the king of Wei showed a shocked expression on his face again.

"Messenger, you returned in defeat, can you still hold on to Runan now? Please borrow your head and exchange it for wealth and honor for my longevity!"

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of people took knives and axes, or spears and spears, and with a few blows, they wiped out the Wei army guarding the envoy of the king of Wei, leaving only the envoy of the king of Wei alone.

"If you want to live, put down the sword."

It is always better to capture the envoy of King Wei alive than a dead body.

"It turns out that before I sent troops, you had already surrendered to that Liu Gongsi!"

The ghost inside the ghost!

The inner ghost is Yin Shou!
After trying to understand the joints, he roared sharply: "Why? Why did you betray Wei?"

But Yin Shou smiled coldly and said, "Why did you rebel against Wei? I am originally a Hanchen!"

"Ha ha."

The envoy of the king of Wei smiled wryly and said, "I have no face to meet the king!"

Thinking of Cao Pi's high hopes for him, he has repeatedly failed, humiliated, unwilling, angry, and desperate
All kinds of emotions emerge.

"Ahhhh~"

He immediately swung the sword in his hand and swiped towards his neck.

puff~
The scorching blood splashed, and the envoy of King Wei immediately fell to the ground, becoming a still-hot corpse.

Yin Shou drove forward, and after confirming that the envoy of King Wei was indeed dead, he said with emotion: "If Wei Guo can win, I will naturally go with Wei Guo. However, the current situation in Runan is like this, so what can I do?"

As a local tycoon, Yin Shou has only one choice:
Whoever wins will help whom.

Today, Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is more powerful than Wei Wang Cao Pi in Runan.

He has no choice!
