The last three kingdoms

Chapter 929 Picked up a big leak

Is it really a trick?

Wen Yang was also taken aback. If there was really an ambush from the Shu army outside the city, then the situation would not be very good. After all, Wen Yang only brought one or two thousand cavalry with him when he came to Xindu this time.

It is pure nonsense to expect one or two thousand cavalry to defend Xindu City!Wen Yang didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately led his troops to rush out of the city. If they were really ambushed by the Shu army, the cavalry would still have a chance to escape in the open field, but if they were blocked in the city, then it would be true. dying.

As soon as he got out of the city, he saw the east side of Xindu, a lot of dust and smoke, and the cavalry rumbled, sweeping towards the city of Xindu.

Wen Yang took a closer look, and he could vaguely see the banner of the Jin State in the dust and smoke. It turned out that it was not the ambush of the Shu Army, but the Qingzhou Army of the Jin State.

Since he was his own horse, Wen Yang felt at ease, and he ordered his cavalry to display their banners and line up to meet them.

There was still a doubt in Wenyang's mind before, that is why the Shu army withdrew in such a hurry. Now it seems that this is a good explanation. It turns out that the reinforcements from Qingzhou have arrived, and Liu Yin came here to avoid being attacked by the enemy. Withdrew voluntarily.

What a treacherous Liu Yin!
Wen Yang suddenly felt powerless. Liu Yin's way of transporting troops is really different from ordinary people. When it is time to fight, it is fast and powerful, and does not give the opponent any breathing space. Any opportunities that could be taken advantage of, when it was time to withdraw, they were swift and resolute, decisive and decisive, without any sloppiness.

Such an opponent is a truly terrifying opponent. The city of Jizhou is the most important strategic place. If you say give up, you will give up. There is no love at all. You can afford it and let it go. Such a bold mind It is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

It can be foreseen that Liu Yin will definitely become the enemy of Jin State no matter before or after. If anyone in the world can shake the cornerstone of Jin State, it must be Liu Yin.

Wen Yang's side was thinking wildly, but the other side was coming like a gust of wind. A group of people rushed to the front, and the big word "horse" appeared on the flag. There was no doubt that the person who came was Qingzhou Governor Shi Malong.

Ma Long made his fortune in Qingzhou. Before that, he was just a small military officer in Yanzhou. He had never served in Luoyang before, so Wen Yang only knew his name and didn't know him.

Obviously, the Qingzhou Army on the opposite side also saw the banners of the Jin Army and Wenyang, and the original hostility dissipated immediately. A general flashed out of the crowd, with a white horse and silver armor, wearing a green cloak. Very thin, with a bit of refined temperament, completely different from the ordinary generals who are powerful, mighty and tall.

He immediately cupped his hands towards Wen Yang and said, "May I ask who is General Wen?"

"I'm next, but your honor is General Ma?" Wen Yang replied.

A smile appeared on Ma Long's face immediately, and said: "I have admired you for a long time. In Qingzhou, I have heard the name of General Wen for a long time. He won the three armies bravely and his reputation spread all over the world. It is really a blessing to meet you today."

Wen Yang has little popularity in the court, and most people avoid it for fear of being too late, let alone compliment Wen Yang. At this moment, when Ma Long met him, he tried his best to praise Wen Yang's name, and Wen Yang's face also showed With a rare smile, he cupped his hands and said: "General Ma, you are welcome. I have heard that General Ma's voice is so loud in Qingyan. It is a fate to meet you today. You really are a hero."

Ma Long smiled slightly and said: "General Wen is absurdly praised. How can he be compared with General Wen for his trivial efforts? This time, he came to Jizhou to fight against the rebels in Jizhou, so he dared not be negligent and went ahead. I hope that I can help King Ruyin and General Wen, but looking at the current situation, I am too worried, General Wen has successfully captured Xindu City, congratulations!"

Wen Yang smiled wryly, if Liu Yin was scared away, would anyone believe it?But the fact is that, Xindu is such a hard nut to crack, under the siege of Sima Jun and Wenyang's 15 troops, he persisted for many days without losing it. Because of the Qingzhou army's aid, the Shu army abandoned the city and left. On the contrary, Wen Yang easily entered Xindu City without firing a single arrow and without losing a single soldier.

Ma Long came from afar and didn't know the inside story of the battle of Xindu. Seeing that Wen Yang had already taken down Xindu City, he naturally wanted to congratulate him.

It was hard for Wen Yang to explain any more, so he immediately invited Ma Long to enter the city. After all, he was also the governor of Jizhou, so Ma Long came here, so he might as well let him do his best as a landlord.

As soon as Ma Long's Qingzhou army arrived, Sima Jun led the army and rushed over. When he saw that Wen Yang had taken Xindu City, he became unhappy.

Although Sima Jun was the governor of the rebellion and commanded the war in Jizhou with full authority, his share of the great credit for winning Xindu would naturally not be lost, but Sima Jun did not play well in this campaign. The plan was to be transferred away from the mountain by others, and he was exhausted between Xindu and Yecheng, doing nothing.

If it is said that Wenyang's battle was Xindu after all-out fighting and bloody battles, Sima Jun would probably be in a better mood. After all, he has worked hard and paid, but the current situation is that the Shu army has withdrawn on its own initiative. , let Wenyang's soldiers take down Xinducheng without bloodshed and effort, which means that Wenyang has picked up a big leak.

This guy who got lucky!

Sima Jun secretly slandered in his heart, but on the surface he had to maintain a polite manner. Now Jizhou Governor and Qingzhou Governor are under his command, and the Jin army has reached nearly 20 troops. One hundred thousand, Sima Jun supported 30 soldiers, and took down Xindu, the city of Jizhou, for a while.

Sima Jun immediately reported the victory to the Luoyang court, and at the same time mobilized his troops and prepared to march northward to wipe out the rebellious army in the north of Jizhou in one fell swoop.

After the Luoyang court heard the news, it was also full of joy. The victory in the first battle greatly boosted the morale of Jin. It seems that Sima Jun said in advance that he would destroy the Shu army within three months. , the recovery of Hebei and the two prefectures is completely within reach.

Overjoyed, Sima Yan rewarded Sima Jun with numerous rewards, and at the same time ordered Sima Jun to march immediately, without giving the Shu people any chance to breathe, and completely annihilate them all.

After Sima Jun took the order, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately divided his troops into three groups. The west was led by Wen Yang, who set out from Fucheng and went straight to Quyang, and the east was led by Ma Long, who started from Guangchuan and went straight to Nanpi. Routed by Sima Jun, he set off from Xindu and went straight to Hejian County.

The three-way army, mighty and mighty, swallowed like a tiger, and killed the land in the north of Hebei.
