Da Wei Chun

Chapter 539

It was only Shen time (three o'clock in the afternoon), and the sun had just passed the mid-heaven.A layer of thin clouds formed in the sky, like a veil covering the sky, even the sunlight was no longer so dazzling.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the flags all over the mountains and plains rattled.Countless southern troops formed several long dragons, gathering towards the bank of the Si River like ants.

After a while, the city of Qianyin was completely empty, leaving only dead bodies all over the ground.

Yuan Liqi was furious: "Why do you want to retreat?"

With this retreat, wouldn't his attempt to make great achievements by "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright" and "returning against the enemy before the battle" fail on the spot?

As for those who wished to die, he offended Chang Yizhi to death.If Chang Yizhi held a grudge, he could kill him on the spot with any excuse, and he would not even have the chance to defect to Fu Luo or defect to Tuyuhun...

Why retreat?
Chang Yizhi looked at the generals in front of the horse, and his gaze skipped over the faces of Yuan Li, Yu Zhong, Fu Luo, Hou Gang, and the Nanliang generals in turn, and then stretched out his hand and pointed: "Bring it up!"

Following a promise, a close friend carried a wooden box and placed it in front of everyone.It should have been explained a long time ago, but Changyizhi didn't see any more instructions, and several soldiers fiddled with the things in it in an orderly manner.

Everyone saw that he took out several iron cans, removed the corks, and then dumped the water-like contents into the water tank.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of oil flowers floated on the surface of the water, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, which is really beautiful.

It looks like grapefruit oil, but it does not have the unique smell of grapefruit oil, but it is a bit pungent.It is also not like fat from pigs and cattle.That thing will be so clear unless it is boiled, and it will definitely emit thick smoke...

All the generals became suspicious, and saw Chang Yizhi's personal guard retreated a few steps, took a torch, and threw it into the water tank from a distance.

With a sound of "wow", a burst of flames shot up into the sky, and the nearby generals were startled and hurried to hide.

And those who have long eyes are all horrified with their eyes protruding wildly, and their hair stands on end: something that can catch fire in water?

Unprecedented in ancient times, unheard of...

And people like Yuan Li, Yu Zhong, Fu Luo and others all had strange faces with dissatisfaction: This should be Li Chengzhi's fire oil like a maggot attached to the bone, where did Chang Yizhi get it from?

"Don't guess, this is what Li Chengzhi sent! With this thing, it only took two hours for the Wei army to conquer Qingshui City, which has more than ten thousand defenders and is as strong as an iron barrel..."

Chang Yizhi sighed a long time, "Now, Li Chengzhi wants to use this thing and that day's thunder to go around and capture Chencang to cut off my back... Let me ask you, if you put yourself in the same place, if you are Changmou, what will you do? What should I do?"

Everyone knows that it must be more than that simple. It is impossible for Li Chengzhi to just send a few cans of kerosene and a few words of intimidation to force Chang Yizhi to retreat.

But as a famous general, Changyi's prestige spread far and wide, and he had his own majesty.Therefore, most of the people under his command just guessed rather than questioned, wondering if something happened suddenly somewhere, and the county magistrate had no choice but to do so.

But there are also outrageous people...

"Li Chengzhi said he wanted to take Chen Cang directly, so he really took Chen Cang directly? When I, Yuan Li, gave Chen Cang more than [-] elites, and the [-] soldiers sent to the city by the governor of Changdu yesterday, are they dead?"

Yuan Li's face was full of ferociousness, and she held her neck and shouted: "It's ridiculous that Chang County Marquis took me Yuan Li yesterday for 'fearing Li Chengzhi like a tiger' and 'discoloring Li Cheng'...but now, just like me, she was taken away by me." Then Li Shi's child was scared out of his wits?"

Poor Yu Zhong tried his best to block, pull and pull in every possible way, but he couldn't block Yuan Li.

After he lashed out, all the southern generals under Chang Yi's command turned purple, and they wished they could pounce on Yuan Li's body to pieces.

Chang Yizhi was calm, with a calm expression on his face.With a slight wave of his hand, he stopped the general who wanted to scold Yuan Li, and then said Shi Shiran: "This moment, that moment... If His Royal Highness King Jiyin thinks that he has the ambition to fight Li Chengzhi for life and death, then he will stay... ..."

As he said that, he turned his head again, looked at Yu Zhong, Fu Luo and the others, "As for whether you two retreat or not, I will do as you please. Even if I turned around and voted for Li Chengzhi, the old man would never stop... Chang One step ahead..."

Throw a bird feather?

Now that Min Zhuang under his command is dead and injured, if he dared to vote alone, Li Chengzhi would absolutely dare to tie him up on the spot and take him to Luoyang to ask for credit.

In any case, it's time to go back to Chen Cang, so that more than [-] elites can join together, so that we can rely a little bit...

Yuan Li gritted her teeth and remained silent, Yu Zhong had no choice but to clasped his fists and said, "We will follow the county magistrate and retreat south together..."

Fu Luo also responded repeatedly: "I am the order of the Marquis of Weichang County to follow..."

Since the defeat at Bailitan, Fu Luo has already given birth to the intention of retreating.Afterwards, he was encouraged by Yuan Li, saying that Changyi had hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, and they were all elites, so they stayed.

Now that Changyi is retreating, will he stay and wait to be chased and killed by Li Chengzhi?

"Then set up camp: retreat to the south bank first, wait for the upper reaches of the river dam to be dug, so that the enemy cannot cover up and kill them later, then retreat to Chencang..."

Following Chang Yi's order, all the generals returned to their respective battalions, only Yuan Li and Yu Zhong were followed by dozens of soldiers, so they were not lonely.

Yuan Li looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where's Hou Gang?"

Yu Zhong sighed sadly: "I just saw him leave with Pei Sui, it should be with Chang Yizhi's former army..."

Withdrew together with one of Changyi... That's an army of nearly ten thousand?

Yuan Li laughed back angrily: "Haha...what a despicable, ungrateful and despicable person?"

Knowing that the general situation is over, Yu Zhong is already disheartened.Don't talk about cursing, even the anger has faded a lot.He just said in a cold voice: "This thief has always been like this, he has nothing to do but to flatter and flatter... There is no need to be annoyed, and it will not be too late to argue with him after returning to the old warehouse..."

How else could it be?

There are dozens of personal guards under his command, even if he goes to look for the trouble just now, he will not be able to please him.

Good thief, just wait for grandpa, sooner or later you will regret it...

Yuan Li gritted her teeth, forcefully holding back a bad breath.Turning around again, he took a few glances in the direction of Qianyin City unwillingly: Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi, if you believe in me, Yuan Li, follow me as soon as possible.Yuan will give you a big gift...

As long as Yuan Li was unwilling and upset for a while, Yu Zhong also paid no attention to it.Unexpectedly, Yuan Li's personal guards suddenly lost two...

Yang Jun stood at the head of the city, looking up at the open fields.Even though the belt of the robe was blown up by the wind, slapping his cheek with pain, but he didn't know how to dodge it, just like being stupid.

There was still thick smoke billowing under the city, and miserable screams could be heard from time to time.But to Yang Jun's ears, it was like a beautiful movement.

Chang Yizhi actually... retreated?

According to his and Li Shao's previous guesses, Chang Yizhi's retreat should be at night when Li Chengzhi came to help.At this time, it was nearly two hours away from the dark sky, and Li Chengzhi was probably still tens of miles away...

As if in a demonic barrier, he became suspicious again: "Could it be that retreat is the way to advance, and Chang Yizhi wants to lure me out of the city?"

"How to lure?"

Li Shao pointed to the distance helplessly, "Don't look at the water on both sides of the Qianhe River, it is obvious that after the Southern Army retreated to the South Bank, they dug the upper dam... This is obviously to prevent us from following his rear army ..."

Really?

really quit...

It was still in full swing a few moments ago, the killing sound was loud, and it retreated completely in the blink of an eye?

Just because Li Chengzhi sent an envoy to visit Chang Yizhi?

It's so unreal to think...

Yang Jun scratched his ears anxiously: "Brother Yuan thought, what did Cheng Zhi say to Chang Yizhi to make such a famous general avoid snakes and scorpions?"

"Mo Hu guessed it. After Cheng Zhi came, everything will be known...Left and right, immediately send an order to order the four cities not to open the city gates for the time being, and use ropes, hanging baskets, etc. to transport soldiers and horses to the city, and order the scouts to follow along. Explore along the river to see where the enemy retreated... and send the infantry back to the city to return to the wounded soldiers in Long, and collect the swords and armor..."

The subordinates suddenly agreed, and hurriedly passed the order.Not long after, soldiers and horses were hanged from the city wall.

Nearly a hundred scouts headed south, and there were nearly a thousand infantry in each of the four cities, quickly sweeping the battlefield.

After another while, a dozen or so armored soldiers escorted two enemy soldiers to the gate of the south city: "The governor and Sima captured and subdued the two spies. They claimed to be the confidantes of Jiyin Wang Yuanli, and they came here with a secret order, and they want to present it face to face." Dashuai..."

Yuan Li's confidant wants to see Li Chengzhi?
Li Shao frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hang up!"

……

The sunset is on the west mountain, and the twilight is dark.Countless rays of golden light splashed on the ground, and the surface of the Qianshui River seemed to be dyed with golden paint, the golden light shone, and it was too beautiful to behold.

Most of the Qianyin city has been cleaned up, all the swords, bows and armor have been transported to the city, only more than ten thousand dead bodies are left, when the situation subsides, they will either be dug and buried, or gathered in one place and burned.

An hour ago, I learned that Changyi had not only retreated to the south bank, but had even returned to Qianyuan without stopping.Li Shao expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.

There are tens of thousands of people, and there are no boundaries, let alone an army of tens of thousands?
Even if they were arranged in a square formation in the wilderness, the width would be more than ten li.If there is an order, it will take at least a few moments to come and go.And Chang Yi's command is like an arm, making hundreds of thousands of troops look like a single person, which shows his ability to lead the army?

In addition to emotion, Li Shao hurriedly sent a fast horse to the west to send a message to Li Chengzhi.Waiting for the soldiers to return, it was said that Li Chengzhi's commander-in-chief had reached about [-] miles southwest of the county.If he was quicker, he could reach Qianyin in half an hour.

Li Shao and Yang Jun quickly gave orders to their generals to go out of the city to greet them immediately.

It's not okay to be grand, Li Chengzhi's actions today really shocked all the Wei generals.All the generals couldn't figure out what method he used to make the famous Nanliang general Chang Yizhi retreat in such a panic?
Not long after leaving the city, just after setting up their formation, they saw several cavalry coming from the southwest.The fiery red Tangqi is particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the setting sun.

Is this a soldier, not a guard of honor to open the way for Li Chengzhi?
Li Shao and Yang Jun subconsciously tensed up.

It was Yuan Qiao, the leader of the Huben army, who came to deliver the order.It seemed to be extremely urgent, before the person arrived, he heard him yell loudly: "The commander-in-chief has an order, please move Li Dudu and Yang Sima immediately, and meet with Qianyuan..."

The generals were confused: not long ago, the scouts reported that Chang Yizhi had retreated to Qianyuan City, but at this time Li Chengzhi wanted Li Shao and Yang Jun to go to Qianyuan to see him?
Even if they want to attack Li Yuan non-stop, they should order the army to go, why only Li Shao and Yang Jun are mentioned?

Yang Jun's heart moved, his eyes rolled sharply: "Is it a meeting in the city, or a meeting in the city?"

Yuan Qiao grinned, smiling unhappily: "Naturally, it's in the city... When the subordinates came down to deliver the order, the commander had already entered the city with Dudu Diao and Sima Li. At this time, we should be waiting for the two masters at the Qianyuan County Government... "

It was in Qianyuan City, not under Qianyuan City... Chang Yizhi actually retreated a few houses, and even surrendered to Qianyuan City?

And if he dared to retreat so fast, and dared to retreat so far, all the partial divisions who were sent to Fufeng and Qishan counties in the morning must have been recalled, otherwise they would become a lone army...

In this way... Guanzhong is completely restored?

As if drunk, Li Shao shook violently and almost fell over.

"Brother Yuan?"

Yang Jun let out an exclamation, and hurriedly helped him up.

"It's okay... it should be due to the sudden good news, the excess energy and blood..."

It's not just good news, it's simply overjoyed.

Only then did Yang Jun react, his face turned red suddenly, and his eyes were abnormally bright.

They have already withdrawn from Qianyuan, where can Changyizhi retreat?

There is no other way but Chen Cang.

If Li Chengzhi pushes one more step, Chang Yizhi can only retreat to Qinling and return to Hanzhong...

So far, the rebellion has been suppressed, the powerful enemy has been driven... a big victory!
But if you think about it, it feels like this battle is like a child's play?
Not to mention Yang Jun, even Li Shao didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and suddenly won?
Didn't even figure out how to win?

"Greedy skill... really greedy skill..."

Yang Jun yelled indiscriminately, "I want to submit a memorial to the court with my own handwriting..."

"What's the panic? I've seen Cheng Zhi... No, it's not too late to play after I've seen the commander in chief... Come on, bring me here..."

Ren Li Shao was usually as calm as a mountain, but at this moment he also appeared to be insane.Fortunately, Yang Jun still had a sliver of reason, so he quickly called Yuan Zhao and Yuan Zhen to explain to him, ordering them to guard Yin Yin and be on standby at any time.

The personal guard led the horse and helped the two of them onto the horse's back.After a few breaths, about two hundred armored cavalry guarded Li Shao and Yang Jun and rushed away.

It wasn't until the rising smoke and dust came along with the wind that the squinting people couldn't even open their eyes, and the generals in the city woke up like a dream.

win?

He actually won...

"Great victory...big victory...the commander is mighty!"

Someone yelled, and the inside and outside of the city suddenly boiled, and there were voices shouting "Mighty Marshal".

It was like a landslide and tsunami, deafening.

Yuan Zhao is jealous and envious again.He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the palpitations in his heart, and moved closer to Yuan Zhen's side: "In the opinion of my third uncle (Xing San in Yuan Zhen's family), what plan did Jun Gong Li use to make Chang Yizhi suddenly retreat like a tiger? ?”

Yuanzhen thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know either!"

Not to mention Yuan Zhen and Yuan Zhao, even Li Shixian and Li Song, who stood by Li Chengzhi's side day and night and witnessed what Li Chengzhi did with their own eyes, couldn't figure out why they could be horrified by just a letter and a few armors. Dechangyi surrendered?
If someone had advised Li Chengzhi like this before, Li Sixian would have slapped him on the face.But at this moment, it was like a dream: One hundred thousand soldiers were retreated with a piece of paper, and he was still a famous general like Chang Yizhi?
