I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274 Sun Quan: No one wants to stop me from reviving the Han Dynasty!

On April 21, it was just dawn, and Xia Houru almost fell asleep while riding his horse.

"Captain! Governor!" Zhang Kan rushed over and shouted loudly.

"What are you yelling about! You scared me!"

"We're going to Maicheng just ahead."

Xia Houru immediately raised his head and looked over, his eyes shining like a strong man who had been thirsty for several days when he saw Yihongyuan.

"Quick! Quick! Speed ​​up the march, I'm going to Maicheng to sleep!"

Xia Houru tightened the reins and galloped forward.

As he hurried on, he asked: "How is the Shu army behind?"

Zhang Kan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Commander, we are not chasing you. Most of our soldiers and horses have been withdrawn. The Sichuan dogs are weak and do not dare to pursue..."

"what?"

The faces of the surrounding soldiers also showed the same confusion and confusion as him.

As soon as the soldiers heard the rallying horn, they reluctantly began to form formation.

"After traveling all night, why do we suddenly have to form a formation?" A soldier kicked a stone on the ground and asked angrily.

If we retreat now, the Wei army itself will collapse, let alone the Han army attacking.

"Hurry up and form an array!" Xia Houru shouted in a hurry.

Therefore, withdrawing troops is actually more difficult than advancing.

But after a while, the Wei army's horn sounded, and it was obviously weak.

Evacuation is now impossible.

"There are Shu troops in Maicheng..."

Because once the soldiers know that the large army is retreating, they will inevitably relax their hearts. This is the time when military morale is at its lowest.

"Quick! Retreat quickly... No! Form an array quickly!" Xia Houru still maintained his final consciousness.

"Enemy attack?"

The army traveled all night and were exhausted.

Xia Houru was immediately shocked: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Why is it taboo to withdraw troops before battle?

Before the scout finished speaking, he suddenly heard countless whistling sounds and shouts of killing coming from the front.

"Captain, there are Shu troops in Maicheng!"

But as the Han army's shouts of killing came, the soldiers behind suddenly woke up.

Before he finished speaking, the scouts from the front rushed over urgently: "Report! Commander, something bad is going on, something is going wrong..."

Withdrawing troops cannot be accomplished with the click of a mouse.

"Enemy attack!"

"Don't move, line up! Line up quickly!" The officers pulled out their knives and yelled, trying to quickly reorganize the formation.

Some Wei soldiers were indeed lining up quickly, but as the shouts of killing got closer and closer, the Wei soldiers suddenly raised their heads, and there were countless arrow clusters shining with cold luster in the morning sun.

In an instant, dozens or hundreds of Wei soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, screaming one after another.

The newly formed formation began to collapse.

Before anyone else could react, more and denser clusters of arrows appeared in the air.

Looking up, the morning sun was blocked by the "black cloud".

Countless people fell to the ground before they had time to scream.

Armor will not be worn during the march.

What is wearing armor in battle?

The armor is not light and usually cannot be worn all the time.

Even less so at this time, so the ancient army would easily collapse once encountering an enemy attack.

This is what the Wei army was like at this time. Xia Houru had withdrawn the main force in an orderly manner, which was already considered to be a good level, but in this situation, he had no way to make a comeback.

The screams of the Wei army were everywhere, and dense rain of arrows flew across the early morning plains, harvesting lives.

The Wei army that had not been shot hurriedly fled. Tens of thousands of troops were like a collapsed flood, spreading out on the plain without any order and running towards the distance.

At this time, the Han army began to pursue.

In the evening, Li Heng received news from Luo Xian: The Wei army was defeated and Xia Houru was captured alive.

Li Heng sat there with a calm expression, but his hands under his long sleeves couldn't help but tremble.

Xia Houru was captured and the entire Wei army was defeated, which meant that Xiangyang City was empty.

But Li Heng was not in a hurry to go to Xiangyang because Lu Xun was still on the Yangtze River.

Li Heng did not order the use of stone cannons to attack the Wu army for the time being, and Lu Xun did not land for the time being.

However, Li Heng received a letter from Lu Xun, in which he stated that he had heard that the Wei army was attacking, and he specially led Wuchang soldiers and horses to come to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, the general was so brave and the Wei army was defeated so quickly.

In this case, why doesn't the general take the opportunity to go north to Xiangyang and capture Xiangyang in one fell swoop? The Wei thieves will shock the whole country.

The letter also spoke highly of Li Heng's restructuring and country-governing strategies in Yizhou, even surpassing Zhuge Liang.

According to what Lu Xun said, if Li Heng is willing, he can attack Luoyang after Xiangyang. Cao Rui will definitely surrender and surrender.

Lu Xun is well versed in human nature. He knows that a man's most fatal weakness is arrogance and arrogance despite little achievements.

This was how he deceived Guan Yu back then.

Guan Yu originally left some elites in Jiangling City, but after being fooled by Lu Xun, Guan Yu took away the last elites.

Of course Li Heng would not be deceived by Lu Xun's letter.

As a person who has been struggling for so many years in the 21st century and has made some achievements, what kind of disgusting and shameless business fraud has I not seen?

Not only was he not deceived by Lu Xun, he also wrote a letter back to Lu Xun, saying that the Governor was right!

Look at me, I can go from Chongqing to Jiangling in seven days and capture Jiangling!

And within half a month, the Wei army was defeated!

At this time, I will not go to Xiangyang overnight. I am sorry for the governor's kindness in gifting Jiangling City to me.

Of course, he knew that these words could not anger Lu Xun, but he was willing to make Lu Xun sick and disgusted.

That night, Sun Quan, who was far away in Hefei, received Lu Xun's letter.

He read it with a frown, and then asked the messenger sent by Lu Xun: "Were the Wei army repelled by the Shu army?"

"Yes, repulsed."

Is Wei Jun really here?

Sun Quan was shocked.

But he didn't expect that the Han army would defeat the Wei army so quickly.

Lu Xun vaguely mentioned the reason for Wei Jun's defeat in the letter, and Sun Quan's face became even more ugly.

"The Governor's intention is that I forced him to go to the Jiangling battlefield and messed up the situation?" Sun Quan asked the messenger with a dark face.

"No, no, your Majesty has misunderstood the Governor. The Governor meant that our army should temporarily rest on the river."

The messenger, who had been traveling all day and night, was extremely exhausted. At this time, Sun Quan's emotions were also on his head, and the messenger was complaining in his heart.

"The Wei army has been defeated by the Shu army. The Shu army must be a tired army. Why do they need to rest and recuperate!" Sun Quan became even more angry. "Immediately pass on my order and order the governor to command the army to land and fight to recapture Jiangling!"

"This……"

"Moreover, the Wei army was defeated by the Shu army, and the morale of Xiangyang is low. The governor should conquer Xiangyang in one go!"

"This……"

"Why did I capture Hefei? Couldn't the Governor capture Xiangyang?"

"Well, I will go back and tell the Governor now!"

Early in the morning on April 22nd, while Li Heng was still having breakfast, Xia Houru was taken to Jiangling City.

"General! General!" After Xia Houru saw Ma Yong, he rushed over and hugged Ma Yong's leg and cried bitterly. "I have admired the general for a long time. I finally saw it today. I am so excited that I can't help myself!"
