Shu Chen

Chapter 447
Deng Ai was very angry.

Although the pontoon bridge was burned down with fireboats and the crossbows and crossbows were used to prevent the crossing of rafts by infantry, so that the Han army crossing the river had no way back, but the result of the battle was far from what he expected.

In his estimation, with Fei Yao and the Southern Huns having an absolute superiority of about [-] cavalry, as well as the morale of a successful ambush, it should be possible to delay the Nishu cavalry before he led the army to break the pontoon bridge, preventing one soldier and one horse from fleeing. Just go back to the other side.

Unexpectedly, of the [-] Shu troops who crossed the river, more than a thousand of them fled back!
And Nishu can be called the elite Xiliang iron cavalry, [-] cavalry soldiers fled back, and more than [-] cavalry soldiers went east to Juechen!

After spending so much thought and paying such a high price to set up a trap, they just surrounded and killed more than a thousand Shaodang members of Nishu
Deng Ai was naturally unacceptable and extremely annoyed at such a result.

Because he knew that whether it was the emperor Cao Rui or the governor of Yongliang Sima Yi, the result of killing more than a thousand people and burning the clansmen was not worth paying attention to.Without him, with Xia Houyuan Hubu Guanyou and Cao Zhen repeatedly suppressing the rebellion of Yongliang and Zhuomei, no one in Wei State would find it difficult to defeat the Qianghu tribe.

In other words, the feat of this battle is not enough to make a big splash.

It also made his hope of getting promoted through meritorious service frustrated.

But he couldn't blame anything.

From the loss of three or four out of ten Jingqi in the two thousand levels, it can be inferred that Fei Yao has tried his best.

If you really want to be held accountable, you can only blame it on the lack of bravery of the Southern Huns cavalry.

However, the nomads who dominate Monan, whether they are the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, because of their particularity of being good at riding and shooting, they always follow the tactic of "fleeing without shame" when they are in battle.If they were to fight to the death, based on their small population, the Han-Hu wars that broke out since the Qin and Han Dynasties alone would be enough to wipe out their clan!

Therefore, when he saw Zhang Bao, he couldn't help being overjoyed.

The horse lance and the fish-scale armor that can make a lot of money are not easy to use, but ordinary generals can't afford them.

If he was an important figure in Nishu, his meritorious deeds would be enough to make him famous in Wei State, so that the emperor Cao Rui and the princes of Gungun would look at him favorably and promote him generously.With such thoughts in mind, he quickly pulled Qu Du of the body guard beside him and carefully instructed him to lead his crossbowmen to encircle and kill Zhang Bao, so that he must win the victory of beheading the general.

But he has no chance.

However, Zhang Bao saw that the pontoon bridge was burned down, and the infantrymen of the Wei army used bows and crossbows to kill the Shaodang people who were crossing the raft, and they realized it in their hearts.

As a general, it is fortunate to be shrouded in horse leather!
The only pity is that he was not able to see the big man enter the battle of Guanzhong.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A thunderous drum sound came from behind.

Zhang Bao looked back and saw the shadows of the Han army on the opposite bank under the gray sky. The big flag had already reached the riverside, and many soldiers were setting rafts. .

Alas, that's all.

I sighed quietly in my heart.

Zhang Bao looked left and right at the half-destroyed personal guards, and said softly, "Everyone, let's stand side by side in the next life!" After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and rushed towards the encircled Southern Huns cavalry array. Roaring loudly, "Big man!"

Dozens of personal guards followed without hesitation, and suddenly agreed.

"mighty!"

Enter the battle and kill more than two hundred people.

Trilogy fell off the horse and died, and Bao was covered with dozens of wounds, bleeding profusely.The war horse was created and even died, but the bud still stood up with the support of the lance, and said with glaring eyes: "Zhang Wenrong, the Yan man, is here, whoever will die together!"

The enemy dares to respond.

Pour it out, and die with blood.

For a moment of breath, no enemy dares to approach.

When he was young, Fei Yao drove the horse forward slowly, staggered off the horse while holding on to the saddle, and remained silent.

In the previous battle, he was stabbed by a spear in his right leg. The wound was not deep and no bones were visible, but the pain was unbearable.And given his age, he might have to endure torture in winter and spring in the future.

Deng Ai also hurried over with dozens of followers, before he could stand still, he stammered and asked, "Does General Fei know this person?"

"This person is Zhang Bao and Zhang Wenrong."

Slightly tilting his head and squinting his eyes, Fei Yaofang said slowly, "His father is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, his eldest sister is the empress of the present Shu Lord, and his second sister is the wife of Bapu."

In an instant, Deng Ai's eyes were as bright as stars.

"quick!"

His voice became anxious because of his excitement, and he yelled at his subordinates, "Chop off this person's head, and send it to Chang'an to report victory to the governor!"

But those subordinates had just agreed, walked a few steps, and then retreated.

"No chance!"

Fei Yao, who had a calm voice just now, stopped loudly, and ordered his guards to sing, "Take this person's body away, and then go to the lower reaches of the river to find a few Shu soldiers who fell into the water, and let them wait to protect the body." Go back to the fortress of Shuyin City." After giving instructions, he turned his head and explained slowly to Deng Ai, "This man once collected the body of General Xiahou and sent it to Gaoping City. I will not lose my strength."

He collected the corpse of Xiahou Confucianism because the Zhang family and the Xiahou family were related by marriage.
Deng Ai quietly refuted in his heart, but he did not insist on his own opinion.

Gein's followers were reprimanded by Fei Yao to be obedient, and Fei Yao didn't even look at him when he listened to the orders.

Anyway, in terms of official position and military prestige, he couldn't compare to Fei Yao who had been in the army for decades.

Furthermore, Sima Yi's previous order to Fei Yao to listen to him temporarily was a hint, the soldiers in the army did not know, and the generals of Yongliang did not know.If he argues with Fei Yao, he will suffer in the end.

However, he couldn't help himself.

After pondering for a while, he said again, "General Fei's heart is good, but our soldiers suffered a lot of losses in this battle. If we don't pass on the first report to claim the victory, I'm afraid the soldiers will be slandered because of the lack of rewards." .And Governor Sima has been working hard since he came to Yongliang to take office, and he must be the head of this person to strengthen the morale of all ministries."

Threatening me with Sima Yi? !

Hearing this, a gleam of disdain flashed in Fei Yao's eyes.

Dang even retorted unceremoniously, "The merits of planning this battle are not enough to make the soldiers famous!"

Fei Yao bit the word planning a bit too hard, which also made Deng Ai silently respond.

Both of them knew that Sima Yi personally decided on this planning, but they just chose Deng Ai because they felt that the plan was too ruthless and they would be criticized by others.

That is to say, Fei Yao is threatening Deng Ai. If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he will spread the matter to let Deng Aimo say that it is the success of passing on the first report, and he can't even get the success of planning. !
There was a long silence.

Fei Yao calmed down the annoyance in his heart, and broke the silence, "I am old, and I was wounded in battle, and it will be difficult for me to conquer in the future, so I will go to Luoyang to beg for bones in a few days."

Ok?
As the words fell to the ground, Deng Ai's eyes, who were still stern, shone again.

The Wei State farmed fields in the Helan Mountain area, and Fei Yao was the main one at first, and Hu Zun and him were the assistants.Now Hu Zun has been transferred to Anding County to guard Gaoping City. If Fei Yao asks for his return again, he will be in charge of this place.

And there is no need to worry that the court will send another general.

As Sima Yi's confidant general and today's military achievements, the Luoyang court will definitely not do anything extraneous.

call.
He secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

Deng Ai tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his chest and abdomen, and stammered, "The general has been in the army for many years, and he is the mainstay of our army! It's a time when there are frequent invasions against Shu and the soldiers are desperately serving the country, why are you old?"

Before he finished speaking, Fei Yao interrupted him by raising his hand.

"I've made up my mind, Shi Zai doesn't need to persuade me much."

Seeing that Zhang Bao's body has been restrained by the trilogy, he has no intention of staying here, "Nishu has the heart to compete with our country for Guanzhong. Before the troops leave, they must come here first, and the soldiers will encourage them."

After that, he ignored Deng Ai, got on his horse and went back to bandage the wound with Bu Qu's support.

Because if he didn't leave again, he couldn't help expressing his contempt and disappointment in his words.

Not only to Deng Ai.

As a veteran of the army for decades, and Cao Zhen, who also used his family wealth to support the soldiers, he still could not agree with Sima Yi and Deng Ai's practice of sending their own soldiers to death.

I can't let go.

Based on today's record, Ni Shu just lost more than a thousand cavalry!

And what about Wei Guo?

Deliberately repelling more than a thousand miscellaneous horses, abandoning a camp, countless offensive and defensive equipment, and nearly a thousand infantry, there are still more than [-] fine cavalry killed in the pass!And this does not count the casualties of the Southern Huns cavalry!
Can such a result be called a victory?
does it worth?
Motina beheaded the great general against Shu.

That Zhang Wenrong is an indomitable and brave general, not a strategically minded general like Ba Pu, Guan Anguo, or the traitor Jiang Wei!
The world is so big, only good generals are rare!
I don't know how many brave warriors there are, so what joy is there to kill them!

Fei Yao never cared about this achievement.

He doesn't comment on Cao Zhen's military plan against Sima Yi's military plan or whether Yushu is better or worse.

But he knows that "if the Tao does not agree, it cannot conspire with each other."

Moreover, the veteran generals who were previously subordinate to Cao Zhen and guarded Yongliang, such as Dai Ling, Wei Ping, Jia Xu (successor), Hao Zhao, Lu Pan, and Wang Shuang, died of illness or battle, and they all died!
Only Wang Sheng, who had a low official position and served as a deputy in Chencangcheng, survived with him.

Instead of continuing to stay in the army to watch Sima Yi and Deng Ai's ruthless actions, he might as well take advantage of being wounded in the battle, and return home as an old man begging for his bones to settle down in peace.

Of course, Deng Ai didn't know what Fei Yao was thinking.

He knew that after wasting more than ten years of time, he finally ushered in the opportunity to lead a monograph; he ushered in the opportunity to fully display his talents and learning in order to make contributions and become a marquis and general.

It is gratifying!
Immediately, he wrote a book and went to Chang'an to report Sima Yi's victory.

And without distinguishing between the enemy and us, all the corpses on the battlefield were buried with the women and children of the Zazahu tribe who had previously been killed, and a Beijing temple was built to show off the military exploits.

Late winter, the end of December.

Sima Yi, the governor of Wei Yongliang, praised Deng Ai for his "rebellion of miscellaneous Hus" to lure the enemy into deep, defeat the Shu army and kill the Shu generals in Luoyang Temple, and praised Deng Ai for his talent in leading the army and defending the border for the country.

The emperor Cao Rui and the princes of Dagon Dagon all came to express their great joy.

Out of many failures in the past and the desire to inspire the morale of the various ministries in Yongliang, the rewards are very generous.

It is the restoration of Fei Yao's previous title and official position, and he is allowed to ask for his armor to be removed due to his injuries, illnesses and old age.He promoted Deng Ai to the rank of General Jianzhong, who was in charge of the settlement of troops in the Helan Mountain area; he bestowed the Marquis of Guannei and Yin's son as Lang, and bestowed countless gold and silver assets.
