Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 168 Eventful Autumn
Chapter 172

It's no wonder that Chen Kui was incompetent in commanding the army. The army of the Jin Dynasty was composed of forced civilians and underwent simple training.

Now it is still stuck on the system of garrisoning troops in the Cao Wei period, serving as soldiers in wartime and serving the people in leisure time.

In fact, this system still has some merits, but no matter how good the scriptures are, they will be read badly if they encounter crooked monks, not to mention that this system is not perfect.

The main soldiers of the Jin army were usually oppressed by generals and local officials, and their lives were extremely poor, so their morale was not high.

However, the Luozhou new army is different. Ran Ming mainly relies on the money and food support of the rich gentry, adopts a professional military system, relieves the soldiers from worries with land and heavy rewards, and brainwashes them into fanatical militants. In this way, the gap is even more obvious up.

Some soldiers of the Jin army ran fast and some ran slowly. The fast ones rushed to the front and the slow ones.In order to catch up with the person in front, he had no choice but to throw aside some radiation weight on his body.

Originally a clean phalanx, as the pursuit continued to extend, it became chaotic.

But the Wei army is different. In order to increase the teamwork spirit of the troops, Ran Ming stipulated in the training that [-] kilometers of armed cross-country is usually used every day.If the first team falls behind, the whole team will be punished, plus three meals a day, and the food will be full, so the soldiers of the Wei army are very good at long-distance marches.

Although the appearance is chaotic, the speed is still fast.

Chen Kui was born in a wealthy family in Huainan, young and vigorous, with a proud heart.

This time he went out with Yin Hao, but Yin Hao was killed and his military power was taken away. Chen Kui made up his mind to kill the general and capture the flag to make meritorious deeds.Fortunately, I can make a good impression in front of Huan Wen.

In his opinion, no matter Zhang Yu, Xiao Nuo and the others are just a bunch of rogues, there is no need for General Huan Wen to step in personally.He alone is enough to take back Luoyang.

Therefore, Chen Kui pursued Xiao Nuo relentlessly.

The five thousand vanguards also lost their formation completely because of him struggling to catch up.

Sanyi Walled City is in the west of Huangxu, bordering Qi County in the south and Chenliu in the west.The Huanglong River, one of the tributaries of the Yellow River (it is said to be the relic of the diversion of the Yellow River), divides Sanyizhai into two sections from south to north.

At this time, on the banks of the Huanglong River, a large pole was erected in the center of one side, and a big "Wei" was written on it.A young man immediately stood on the banner with a horizontal knife.

Originally, Wei Feng planned to adopt the strategy of water attack, intercepting the Yellow Dragon River, and then releasing water to flood Chen Kui's troops, but considering Ran Ming's confession in the early morning, the battle against the Han troops of the Jin army should mainly be prisoners, and should not be easily killed.

Because of this order, Wei Feng had to give up the idea of ​​flooding.

Chen Kui was taken aback when he saw Wei Jun waiting in full force, and shouted: "It's no good, it's been tricked, the rear team of the whole army has changed to the front team, retreat quickly!"

The Jin army's already chaotic formation due to the rapid march suddenly became even more chaotic.

At this moment, Wei Feng waved his hand and made the flag wave, countless soldiers of the Wei army started to move, but they did not charge, but picked up the ropes on the ground.

It turned out that Huangxu was a sandy land with extremely soft soil.When Wei Feng discovered this problem, he thought of a strategy of trapping the enemy. He ordered people to dig countless large pits on the bank of the Huanglong River. This kind of pit was two feet deep. Wooden stakes are used to support the big pit on the road. It is okay for people and horses to walk on it, but as long as the supporting stakes are pulled down, the soldiers above will fall into it.Fortunately, the Jin army was all Han Chinese, and Ran Ming didn't want the Han people to kill each other, so there were no sharp spikes and spears at the bottom of the pit, otherwise the Jin army who fell into it would have no chance of surviving.

Before the Wei army launched an attack, dozens of large pits on the official road trapped at least hundreds of Jin troops in the pit.

The unexpected change made Chen Kui's army even more chaotic. Chen Kui roared angrily: "How dare you bully me!"

As he said, he commanded the troops to retreat to the sand on both sides of the official road. This time it was even worse. There were more big pits in the sand, which was simpler. There were no supporting stakes, and there were only fine sand covered by branches. If you go up, you will fall in.

At this time, Wei Feng said: "Order the troops to attack with all their strength!"

The formal attack actually predestined Chen Kui's end. His troops marched for more than 30 miles, which was basically the limit of the soldiers' physical strength. No matter how loudly he shouted, trying to stabilize his position, the soldiers fell to the ground from exhaustion. , Panting heavily, some rolled their eyes from exhaustion.

On the other hand, in the Second Battalion of the New Army in Luozhou, more than 6000 horses descended like fierce tigers, killing the Jin army back steadily, irresistible.

Seeing this situation, Cui Hua tried his best to turn the tide, he hastily stopped Xiao Nuo, and shouted: "Prefect Chen, go quickly, the empress dowager!" "

Youdao is that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, Xiao Nuo sees Cui Minghua.If it wasn't for Wei Feng's order, he would have already defeated Cui Hua, and Xiao Nuo, who was already simmering in anger, would have been even more vicious in his attack.Cui Hua stepped forward to stop him, but within a few rounds, he was killed crookedly.

Chen Kui wanted to escape, but who would have thought that when a burst of crossbow arrows hit, Chen Kui would instantly become a hedgehog.

A Luozhou new army soldier stepped forward, swung a knife and chopped off Chen Kui's head, then lifted Chen Kui's head and shouted: "The leader of the bandit has been punished, only the leader of the crime is counted, and the co-conservator will not be punished! Surrender to avoid death!"

The battle lasted only half an hour before it stopped.

The soldiers of the new army in Luozhou began to escort the prisoners, pulled up the soldiers of the Jin army who had fallen into the trap, and tied them up.

Xiao Nuo reported to Wei Feng: "Lieutenant Wei, Chen Kui, the puppet Huainan prefect of the state of Jin, had 37 soldiers and horses, and captured more than 100 people. Among them, more than [-] people from the enemy's army were killed, [-] from our army were killed, and [-] were injured. Many people!"

In addition to these more than 4000 captives, Chen Kui's troops also carried a large amount of grain, armor and weapons. This battle can be said to be a double gain for Wei Feng!
Wei Feng looked at Xiao Nuo who had already dressed up as a Jin army and said indifferently: "Xiao Nuo, I am optimistic about you, if you make new achievements this time, I will guarantee you to be a general!"

Xiao Nuo smiled honestly, he never doubted Wei Feng's words, one must know that Wei Feng is Ran Ming's second apprentice, the direct descendant of the direct line.

Yecheng, also known as Yedu.

Cao Wei, Hou Zhao, Ran Wei, Qian Yan, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi successively took this as their capital.Shihu, the emperor of the later Zhao Dynasty, made the famous capital Yecheng develop to an unprecedented peak of luxury.

However, after the famine in the first year of Wei Yongxing, Yecheng fell into depression.

But now, due to the appearance of Ran Ming, Ran Ming integrated northern merchants, formed a chamber of commerce, and trafficked a large amount of grain, cloth, silk, and Qingzhou's unprecedented prosperity, as well as a large amount of various furniture, canned food, fish and shrimp, and kelp produced in Qingzhou from the south of the Yangtze River. Influx into Yecheng.

At this time, because of the expansion of Wei State's territory again, Yecheng not only failed but had new vitality.The dilapidated city walls need to be repaired.A large number of migrant workers were needed, and officials at all levels wanted to buy land and properties because Wei became powerful. At this time, Yecheng was full of busy scenes of building houses, streets, and city walls.

Seeing that the year was approaching, Ran Zhi, the prince of the supervisor, held a memorial in his hand, and frowned.He asked Sikong Tiaoyou: "Old Sikong, take a look at this!"

Tiao You opened the memorial book, which wrote: "In Yanzhou in November, the sky cracked, there was no cloud but thunder, the stars fell in the daytime, the sound was like thunder, and stones flew from the sky. I wrote "The real dragon has appeared in the clothes of the Han family."

"December, on the banks of the Fengle River in Zhangshui, black dragons appeared. The dragon chanted "The dragon ascends to heaven, the sun and the moon rule the country"

"At the beginning of December, there was a natural vision in Inner Yellow City. The giant dragon roared proudly, and the rocks shattered. A golden tripod emerged from the stone. The inscription: The sun and the moon are in harmony, the world is auspicious.

Tiaoyou looked at the visions that appeared continuously, and the first reaction in his head was that there were so many strange phenomena.

what is itWhat does it mean?Is it God.Some kind of warning to the world?

The prince was a little anxious, looked at Tiaoyou who was silent and said: "Gu heard that there was also a vision in Tongguan. When a cook was killing fish, he found a jade tablet in his stomach. It is mainly due to the shock of water, old Sikong, what does this mean?"

Tiao You suddenly flashed in his head the ballad that appeared on the ground in Yecheng recently, "No more heads, the sun and the moon will fly together, sooner or later the world will belong to him!"

Tiao You is not an uneducated person, and he immediately understood the meaning of these prophecies.

Tiaoyou's face was ugly, he clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time.Tiaoyou thought for a while and took a deep breath.Suddenly stood up and smiled: "His Royal Highness. I want to congratulate Your Highness. Congratulations to Your Highness."

"The emperor came from the earthquake." Tiao You explained: "The earthquake is in the east. Water is the main thing, and the East Palace is the place of the earthquake. The Zhangshui River surrounds the moat of the East Palace. This shows that His Highness is the real son of heaven! As for the sun and the moon, the world is auspicious. It's easier to explain. Your Highness is called Zhi, Zhiri Zhiye, which clearly means that His Highness is the king of the world. Isn't this a happy event?"

"Oh?" Ran Zhi was taken aback.He turned to look at the others. "Is that right?"

"Lord Sikong's words are absolutely true!" Han Tong, the teaching chair of the Eastern Palace, said, "It's Tong's humble opinion. We should discuss it accordingly."

"Ah...hahahaha" Ran Zhi heard this.I couldn't help laughing out loud.As everyone knows.

The surface of the strip is as sinking as water.Taiwei Shen Zhong bowed his head in thought.

After Tiao You left the palace.

Suddenly a boy in Tsing Yi stepped forward and said: "Tiao Sikong, my master is here to invite you!"

Tiaoyou, a boy in Tsing Yi, knew him, and he was Shen Zhong's confidant.

Tiaoyou said: "Lead the way ahead!"

After the young man in Tsing Yi invited Sikong Tiaoyou, he turned around and invited several other ministers of the Wei Dynasty, such as Liu Qi, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and Situ Weijian, the guardian of the country, Fa Rao (the person who gave advice to Ran Min to kill Hu). General Wei Wang Ning, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Pei Yi and more than a dozen people marched towards Taiwei's mansion in a mighty way.

Entering Taiwei's mansion, in name Taiwei Shenzhong hosted a banquet to entertain the ministers, but after entering the mansion, he found that there was no good wine and food at the banquet, and even the maidservants were pitiful, serving wine and so on was done by himself Come on, the atmosphere is quite serious.

Taiwei Shen Zhong smiled slightly, and took the lead in saying: "Several distinguished guests, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, you should not be offended."

Tiaoyou guessed Shen Zhong's plan, "Thank you, Mr. Taiwei, for your kind hospitality, I am very grateful!"

After a few pleasantries, Shen Zhong changed the subject and entered today's topic.

Shen Zhong sighed, and said: "Da Wei is now troubled, and he was born with abnormal changes. I wonder if it is the heavens warning us?"

When it comes to prophecy, the most authoritative one is Farao.
