I really just want to lose my fortune

A ladder was erected on the city wall, and soldiers one by one spread towards the city like a tide.

"Why do you feel something is wrong..." Zhuge Liang looked at the enemy army who basically did not resist, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Military commander, don't worry about it. They were ambushed by me and others three times in a row and lost more than half of their people. It's good if they didn't escape at this time." Zhang Fei said.

"Yes." Chen Gong nodded: "The military division ambushed three times, all hit, Gong, I admire it!"

"No, it's too simple. Although I guessed the route the other party took, it really shouldn't be this kind of reaction in the city." Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "No matter what, the people should be forced to go up the city wall..."

"Wait!" Qin Ye's eyes narrowed. "This king said that war is war, so don't hurt the people in the city!"

Su Dingfang tried to massacre the city twice before, but was stopped by Qin Ye.

Massacre is definitely one of the fastest ways to destroy the morale of the enemy.

However, Qin Ye said that these people were the people of Great Qin, and they were just bewitched by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo rebelled, if he killed these common people, how would it be any different from a beast?

They fight in order to let the people have a good life, and they cannot put the cart before the horse.

"Don't worry, my lord, if they really drive the people up the city wall, Liang will have a way not to hurt the people and make their morale collapse." Zhuge Liang thoughtfully: "What's wrong?"

After seeing the soldiers go up, the enemy surrendered one after another, without even the slightest intention of resisting, Zhuge Liang felt even weirder.

If you didn't surrender just now, you will surrender here in the upper city?

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang thought of a possibility, that is, King Wei and Yuan Shao sent troops to fight Wagang, and he helped Xu Shu analyze it once.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's face changed: "No, quickly withdraw the soldiers!"

"Huh?" Su Dingfang frowned slightly.

The chariot had already broken through the gate of the city, and the soldiers filed in. How could this look like a textbook siege, retreat at this time?

hum!

At this moment, the city suddenly burst into flames!

There are tens of thousands of people in a city, but after Li Ru and those soldiers took the opportunity to escape, he set the city on fire!

Those armors and weapons are just to lure Zhuge Liang's soldiers!

Tens of thousands of people?Or the people of Xiliang?Li Ru didn't care at all!

Soon, there were bursts of wailing in the city, like purgatory on earth!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Ye's pupils shrank slightly: "Damn it, they actually burned the city. Isn't this their own city?"

"Quick, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!" Su Dingfang shouted.

When the soldiers encountered the fire, they had already begun to retreat.

It's a pity that thousands of soldiers still had no time to retreat and were buried in the sea of ​​flames!

Many others who escaped were also burned by the fire!

Chapter 397 Withdrawing Troops

For the first time, Zhuge Liang felt the horror of confronting Li Ru.

This person has no bottom line at all, for the victory of a war, or for his lord, Li Ru can do anything!

In Zhuge Liang's eyes, no matter Li Ru's use of troops or anything else, it's the same thing.

But Li Ru is scary because he has a hard time, and it can make you have a hard time. As long as you fight Li Ru, you must be prepared to be counterattacked by Li Ru at any time.

"They, burning the city?" Hao Zhao's lieutenant looked at the distant city in disbelief.

The city had just been built in order to be at an angle to the current city, and most of it was the people who fled from the Xiliang front, and the people of Bingzhou who were afraid of the Tatars moving here.

With so many people, the court just set fire to them and burned them down?

"They didn't resist!" Hao Zhao clenched his fists, his eyes were red: "Just because the adults rebelled, so all of us will suffer, right? I am a general, you are soldiers, and we are Master Dong's subordinates. We really deserve to die, but the people are innocent!"

"Those soldiers, they didn't shoot arrows, they didn't use siege equipment, and they didn't resist desperately..."

"They can't take our city, so they use the people in that city to vent their anger?"

"What kind of rotten thing is this imperial court!"

"King Qi, I'm bah!"

"Brothers, we have also seen what happened to the brothers' army." Hao Zhao glanced at the remnants of the defeated generals who followed him: "We either die in battle for our relatives and friends, or we are burned to death, how do you select!"

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

For a moment, the voices of the soldiers in Hao Zhao's city seemed to break through the clouds.

…………

"Fire, put out the fire!" Qin Ye shouted, "There are still so many people in the city!"

"My lord, the fire is too strong, I'm afraid..." Zhuge Liang said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, my lord, we have soldiers in our hands." Su Dingfang said: "It's too risky to do this."

"It's because they are soldiers that they should do this kind of thing! In a fight, the common people are innocent!" Qin Ye gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Aren't you going? This king is cultivating the Ice Profound Strength. With a body full of ice and true energy, I am not afraid of the sea of ​​fire."

"You don't go, I go!"

"My lord!" Zhuge Liang didn't catch him, but saw Qin Ye get up and go outside the city.

Another attack, Qin Ye has already entered.

It can be seen that although Qin Ye has no experience in fighting on the battlefield, his cultivation base is the highest among the previous princes such as Qin Ge.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and rushed out at the same time.

Soon, a commoner was recited.

Then, the second, the third...

Zhuge Liang looked at King Qi's busy back, feeling uncomfortable.

In troubled times, people like Qin Ye are not very popular, or it is difficult to make it to the end.

How can a war not affect the people?

However, Qin Ye always wanted to minimize the loss.He never had the concept of massacring a city in his mind.

Qin Ye is not the kind of person who directs others and hides behind himself. He will really rush forward.

For the first time, Zhuge Liang felt the troublesome place of a benevolent monarch.

However, it was precisely because Qin Ye was such a person that Zhuge Liang felt that he should not be submerged in the flames of war in troubled times.

"Find a way to save people!" Su Dingfang ordered decisively: "Use the drinking water I'm waiting for first, and save as much as you can!"

Those people who escaped will be poured with a basin of cold water.

"Save me, save me..."

"It's hot, it's hot..."

Qin Ye's eyes were already red, but no matter how deep his inner strength was, how many people could he save from the burning city?

Before Li Ru did this, he had no intention of evacuating the people.

In this battle, not only Zhuge Liang met Li Wenyou, but more people must remember him.

…………

When Li Ru rushed to Dong Zhuo's, what he was waiting for was Dong Zhuo's warm hospitality.

"Hahahahaha...my good son-in-law!"

Dong Zhuo still had a decadent look on his face before, and he was in constant fear, not knowing when the imperial army would come to kill him.

Even with Hao Zhao's successive success reports, it will not help Dong Zhuo.

Now that Li Ru is back, he really came back with soldiers, Dong Zhuo has completely believed in Li Ru.

Of course, this is also related to Li Ru spreading rumors along the way.

Li Ru suffered a defeat and was completely controlled by Zhuge Liang in the partial battle situation, but he won the overall strategy.

The lives of the people in a city?Dong Zhuo didn't care.

"Father-in-law, these soldiers have lost all their armor and weapons, Ru, I am ashamed of my father-in-law." Li Ru said apologetically to Dong Zhuo.

"Hahahahaha..." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "It's okay, it's okay! We borrowed troops just to turn the tide of the war around. Now that the tide of battle has turned around, Yuan Shao will also turn it around. Let's see if the imperial court still has the ability to fight us!"

"In this world, we still have the ability to fight for hegemony!"

"That's right." Li Ru showed a slight smile: "The imperial court is short of food and grass, and the battle line will inevitably be shortened. The territory we are waiting for is equivalent to not being lost!"

…………

Qin Ye's camp.

"Huh, the viciousness of the enemy is far beyond our expectations." Zhuge Liang let out a sigh of relief: "I'm to blame for this matter, if I'm more cautious..."

"Don't blame the military advisor." Qin Ye said, "If there is no military advisor, things will be even more troublesome."

"It's troublesome enough now." Chen Gong sighed: "Rumors are flying all over the sky, saying that even if they surrender, we will massacre the city, even the people will not be spared, the prince's reputation..."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Ye shook his head, "I know what I'm doing, and it's more important to me than what others think I've done."

"Currently the whole of Xiliang is united as one. If you want to fight, you can only attack hard. This..." Su Dingfang also felt very tricky.

A big fire burned all the people in the city, and the strategic goal achieved was really too big.

With the death of tens of thousands of people, Xiliang soldiers were united, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were on the cusp.

Although Su Dingfang had plans to massacre the city before, he would not surrender to death.

As long as one city is slaughtered, the other city will surrender and let it go, and settle down well, which will naturally make Xiliang's army unstable.

However, Li Ru's plan helped the court slaughter the city, but it allowed Xiliang to fight until the last soldier.

"The decree has arrived!"

At this moment, a eunuch came.

"Say." Qin Ye raised his head and said wearily.

"Your Majesty has an order to ask General Su to retreat, establish a defense line, and send half of the troops to the barracks where Hou Junji is located to help defend." The messenger said: "As for His Royal Highness King Qi, please go to Xuzhou to suppress the rebellion. , resume production in Yangzhou."

"My son, lead the decree..."

Chapter 398 The general trend of the world

"My lord, let's just forget about it?" Zhang Fei was the first to quit: "Then Dong Zhuo's disciples did such unconscionable things, so we won't fight?"

"According to the court's order." Qin Ye let out a long breath: "War requires logistics, and the court's logistics must be really insufficient. The deeper we fight, the longer the battle line will be, and the more difficult it will be to supply .”

"But, but..." Zhang Fei felt aggrieved!

He met Hao Zhao who was like a hedgehog, and Li Ru who dared to burn the city.

"Since His Majesty is willing to let the prince go out, Liang is relieved a lot." Zhuge Liang said to Qin Ye: "My lord, this time..."

"Follow the imperial court's order." Qin Ye said again: "Father asked me to settle Xuzhou, rehabilitate the bandits, and take Yangzhou. Then we will do it."

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang suppressed the grief over the death of most of the people in the city: "Regarding this matter, there is a complete set of strategic plans under the sect, which will definitely help the prince complete the master."

"I'm just doing my duty." Qin Ye looked at the sky outside.

It's really dark today.

…………

half a month later.

Looking at the battle report in front of him, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

Qingzhou has already opened a gap. As time goes by, it will be a matter of time before this Qingzhou falls into the bag.

"Commander, good news!" Tian Feng said: "General Wen Chou broke through three cities in a row, and did not suffer too much loss. By autumn, we will surely be able to occupy two counties!"

"En." Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction.
