Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons
Chapter 466: Qin Sun Cao Jieyi
Chapter 466 Qin Sun Cao’s sworn alliance
Chapter 465: Qin Sun Cao’s sworn friendship
Zhang Shicheng left Luoyang with high spirits, but before he could reach Dagu Pass, he received news that the first wave of reinforcements had been defeated by Bai Qi.
In desperation, Zhang Shicheng had to wait patiently for the follow-up troops to ensure that everything was safe, but what he didn't know was that every day the time was delayed, the possibility of him conquering Dagu Pass became lower.
Li Zicheng on the other side was equally miserable. Before he even reached Mengjin Pass, he received the news that Mengjin had been captured by the Han army.
This time, in order to capture Mengjin and the three-party coalition forces of more than 100,000 in Hebei Liangshan, the fortress was barely captured at the cost of more than half of the damage.
Although more than half of the Han army in Mengjin Pass was damaged, it was not something Li Zicheng could handle with the few troops in his hands, so he had to retreat to Xiaopingjin and wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking.
Song Jiang, who accepted the invitation, took the initiative to take over the main offensive task in order to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
Liangshan paid a **** price for this, and the entire army was directly reduced by three-quarters. Three leaders, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, died in the battle.
Song Jiang's efforts were also rewarded. Huangfu Song directly appointed him as a partial general and reported his achievements to the court truthfully. It is estimated that after the war, Song Jiang would at least be given the position of governor.
The Battle of Mengjin caused the water of the Yellow River to turn red again. Last time it was a decisive battle between Xiang Yu and He Jin's Yellow River, and the Han army lost, but this time it was the Yellow Turbans.
The fall of Mengjinguan marked the formation of the "trapped dragon situation". 800,000 Yellow Turbans were completely trapped and died in Sizhou, unable to advance or retreat from then on.
Now, Luoyang is facing three enemies: Huangfu Song in the north, Bai Qi in the east, Qin Hao in the south, and Qin Wen in the west. The four armies are like a curse, directly locking the life of the Yellow Turbans.
If it were summer now, with the Yellow Turban's huge military strength, it might not be impossible to break the cage.
But the key point is that it is winter now. The Yellow Turbans' military advantage has been weakened to the minimum by the ice and snow. In such a cold climate, the army cannot exert its full strength at all.
Of course, the biggest crisis facing the Yellow Turbans is not the climate, but the depletion of private grain reserves.
Three million people in Sizhou are about to run out of food. Will the Yellow Turbans provide food to the people?
————
Hanguguan, the Han army's commander's tent.
Qin Liangyu's exquisite face was full of joy. After walking quickly into the commander's tent, he reported: "To inform my father, Commander, Mengjinguan has been captured by General Huangfu. Now all four gates of Sizhou are back in the hands of our army."
Neither Qin Liangyu nor Mu Guiying went south with Qin Hao. During the time they left Qin Hao, the two women joined forces with the Yang family's daughter-in-law to create a women's army and defeated the Yellow Turbans several times.
This army is led by Qin and Mu, with the Yang family's daughter-in-law as the backbone. Although it is currently only an archer infantry with 500 swordsmen, it can be greatly expanded at any time, and there is no shortage of soldiers.
During the war years, women and widows were the most numerous, but the Women’s Army only recruited women between fourteen and thirty-five years old.
At present, the composition of the Detachment of Women is very mixed. There are women from the common people and ladies from the rich families, and the proportion of ladies from rich families is not low. This is all thanks to the Yellow Turbans.
The Yellow Turbans massacred the Guandong aristocratic families and showed mercy only to the women and children. The women of these aristocratic families will definitely have a very difficult life in the future if they lose the protection of their families.
The birth of the Women's Army gave those poor women who could not survive a place where they could live well without selling their bodies.
Guanzhong has not been devastated by the Yellow Turbans, so the attraction of the Detachment of Women has not yet been reflected. If the Detachment of Women marches to Guandong, it is not impossible that the strength of the Detachment of Women will quickly exceed 10,000.
“Okay, that’s great.”
After hearing Qin Liangyu's report, Qin Wen stood up from his seat excitedly. He had never been so excited since he had been fighting in the south for so long.
But this time is different. Retaking the four gates means that the end of the Yellow Turbans is not far away, and the end of the Han Dynasty is coming, so Qin Wen can't be excited. Most of the generals present were future princes, and their knowledge and strategies were very comparable to others. After hearing the news, it was natural to see that the big man won the battle.
Dong Zhuo was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, virtuous brother, you are about to make an unparalleled contribution."
Eighty thousand Yellow Turbans were killed in one fell swoop. Isn’t this an unparalleled achievement?
At this thought, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, the highest pursuit is to be famous throughout the ages, and Qin Wen will soon achieve it.
No matter whether Qin Wen has any achievements in the future, it will be written in the history books that Qin Wen was the coach who destroyed 800,000 Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, and this alone is enough for Qin Wen's name to be passed down through the ages.
Qin Boren, just wait, sooner or later I will achieve greater achievements than you. I, Dong Zhongying, am by no means weaker than others. Dong Zhuo secretly made up his mind.
The concept of hierarchy in the army is very strong. Even if Dong Zhuo is the deputy governor, it is very rude to call the general "brother" in a formal occasion. However, Qin Wen did not care at all.
Dong Zhuo was on the same level as Qin Wen in terms of official position and title, and he controlled more troops and horses than Qin Wen. Naturally, Qin Wen would not care about such trivial matters.
“No matter what, I am just trying my best. The current situation is all due to your contribution.” Qin Wen said modestly.
When the generals heard this, they all laughed and said, "The Commander-in-Chief is too modest."
Qin Wen did not refute, but smiled calmly and said: "The three eastern gates of Sizhou are weak, but they have to face the counterattack of nearly 700,000 Yellow Turban troops. If the Yellow Turbans really break one gate, they will regret it.
Now Hangu must allocate troops to support to strengthen the defense of the third east gate, so as to completely trap the Yellow Turbans. I want to divide the troops into two groups, one in the south and one in the north to support the three passes. Who among the generals is willing to lead the army? "
The Han army only has a few hundred thousand troops in the three passes. Even if there is time to help, it will not be easy to block the Yellow Turban counterattack. Everyone knows this, so it is imperative to divide the troops to support.
Cao Cao was the first to stand up: "The last general is willing to lead troops to support the three passes.
Seeing this, all the generals couldn't help but cursed Cao Cao for being cunning, and then they all started to ask for a fight. After all, staying at Hangu Pass was useless, so it was better to lead the troops out.
“Commander, Yuan Shao is willing to lead the army to support us.”
“Sun Jian…”
“Gongsun Zan…”
…
"Since the third brother is the first to ask for orders, let the third brother lead the Southern Route Army, and the second brother will be the deputy general." Qin Wen looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.
Cao Cao was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, no, thank you, brother."
Why did Cao Cao and Sun Jian become brothers with Qin Wen?
This starts from two months ago, when Yiyang City was lost and Qin Wen encountered Zhu Yuanzhang's ambush on his way back to Yewang City.
If Cao Cao and Sun Jian had not tried their best to rescue him, Qin Wen might have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he naturally had a good impression of the two of them.
In the subsequent series of wars, the three like-minded people quickly formed a deep friendship, so they simply became brothers with different surnames.
The second update is here, and I have filled in the chapter that was missing yesterday. The Yellow Turban is coming to an end, probably either in the next chapter or the next chapter.
(End of this chapter)
