Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 488
After the war, the Jingping army began to clean the battlefield overnight. The two sides under the city wall and Xiaoshan Town started cleaning at the same time. Many soldiers held torches, and some other soldiers were packing up the broken weapons, battle armor, flags, and There were scattered dry food and so on, and at the same time some soldiers were carrying corpses in and out one by one.

"Kill one thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred!"

On the battlefield, while Chen Dao was walking, his eyes swept over, looking at the corpses of Jingping soldiers, he sighed again, this is not the first time he has sighed, war is a bloody game, representing life and death .

"This time, my Jing Ping army has lost a lot!"

Zhang Liao and Chen Dao walked side by side, and couldn't help but feel emotional: "Especially the Fifth Battalion, how long has it been since the restoration of the organizational system, and it was almost disabled again!"

The prestige of the Jingping Army is enough to rule the world, but this reputation is based on the battles of the First World War. Since the Runan Battle that year, the Jingping Army, who has never been on the battlefield, has given their lives over the years. clear.

"That is also impossible!"

Chen Dao said bitterly: "In order to attack Hanzhong, the price you must pay is to win without fighting. I also think about such a good thing, but how can there be such a big deal!"

"Winning Shangyong and beheading Zhang Lu's arm is a great victory!"

Zhang Liao said in a low voice.

"The corpses must be disposed of in time, the enemy's are buried on the spot, and the corpses of our soldiers...it's too troublesome to transport back to Nanyang!" Chen Dao thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to build a tomb and erect a monument here! "

"Alright!" Zhang Liao nodded upon hearing this, "To die for attacking Shangyong, and to be buried in Shangyong's midst is a well-deserved death!"

They are already experienced generals, not that they are cold-blooded, but that they have experienced a lot, and they have learned to hide their sorrows. To them, casualties are just a number.

"By the way, have the prisoners we captured come out?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded: "This county magistrate of Shangyong is quite capable. He killed himself, and many people followed him. In addition to their casualties, we captured less than [-] Shangyong soldiers!"

"Zhang Suo, this is a general. If I hadn't lost the upper hand, I would fight against him. Whoever loses will win. Let's not say anything. I can hardly breathe under this pressure. If I can surrender, it will definitely be our battle against Hanzhong in the future. sword!"

Chen Dao narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's a pity!"

"Report!"

A knight came galloping from a distance, stood in front of the two of them, quickly jumped off his horse, and clasped his hands to report: "The two captains, Jingwu Division has sent news, just got it, tens of thousands of main forces of the Hanzhong Army have arrived In the western suburbs of Yong, a small stream twenty miles away!"

"So fast?"

Chen Dao's pupils changed color.

This battle of Shangyong was due to the time difference. He was betting that Zhang Liao's reinforcements would come faster than the Hanzhong Army. He won the bet, so he won this battle, but he also knew that the main force of the Hanzhong Army was approaching. So close.

But I didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

Fortunately, the Battle of Shangyong is over. If the main force of the Hanzhong Army arrives a day earlier, it will change the outcome of the battlefield.

"Who is coming, do you know?" Zhang Liao asked calmly.

"The coming general is Zhang Lu's general Yang Bai!"

"It seems that they are very eager to win back the spirit of superiority!" Zhang Liao sneered.

"It's time to go back and set up the defense of Shangyong City!"

Chen Daodao: "Next, if we keep Shangyong, we will win!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao also nodded.

They left some soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield, and then led the main force back to Shangyong City.

With Zhang Liao's main force, plus Chen Dao's troops, the main force of Jingping's army is already here. Unless the Hanzhong army uses all of its main force to attack Shangyong, they will have no problem defending Shangyong with their strength.

After a busy night, after early morning, Shangyong City regained its calm, but in the calm, more people found that there were more patrolling soldiers in the streets and alleys. These soldiers were dressed in different clothes, but they were all vicious. It frightened them a lot.

However, Ye Ru, who was acting as the county magistrate of Shangyong, soon posted an Anmin notice.

This Anmin notice is also very particular. First, in whose name is it posted? If it is posted in the name of Jingping Army, the effect will not exceed [-]%. After all, Jingping Army is an outsider and is not accepted by the people of Shangyong. Paste it under Ye Ru's name, that's different.

First of all, Ye Ru is a mediocre person. For thousands of years, Yanhuang has been patriarchalism. The concept of country only existed after the [-]th century. Before that, it was all family and country. The township party is one. In this era, localism is very serious. They are both mediocre people, and they are even more catastrophic. In addition, Ye Ru has a great reputation and is more likely to be trusted by the mediocre people.

So it was a very wise decision for Chen Dao and Zhang Liao to recommend Ye Ru to act as Shangyong county magistrate.

Second, this Announcement of Anmin also pays attention to reasons, such as the positioning of the former county magistrate Zhang Suo.

Ye Ru is Ye Ru, a scholar who has been in Hanzhong for half his life, and made Zhang Suo fall to the eighteenth floor of hell as soon as he made a move. In the name of the former prefect of Su Gu, he positioned Zhang Suo as a traitor.

In this way, it is only natural for Jing Ping's army to enter Shangyong.

Since the death of the previous prefect Su Gu, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu competed for Hanzhong. Now Hanzhong does not have a righteous prefect. To demote Zhang Suo in the name of Su Gu is grandiose, and it is tantamount to paving the way for Jingping's army to enter Hanzhong.

Since then, the people of Shangyong have become much calmer.

Of course, there is also a lot of public anger secretly, such as those mediocre soldiers who died in battle, and the men who died in their families. Naturally, there are many resentful people, and this can be regarded as an undercurrent.

But generally speaking, Jing Ping's army is secretly suppressing, and Ye Ru is on the bright side, and Shangyong has stabilized.

……

……

noon.

Outside the west gate of Shangyong City, the Hanzhong army stepped forward in order, with flags covering the sky and the earth.

After marching all night, they approached the city.

But the general Yang Bo's complexion was ugly.

Because he had already seen two human heads hanging above the gate of the city, made of wooden bars, one belonged to Zhang Wei and the other belonged to Zhang Suo.

Obviously, Zhang Wei's three thousand soldiers and Zhang Suo's Shangyong soldiers have been wiped out.

"Damn!"

Yang Bai's gloomy voice hoarsely said, "We are still late!"

Although he had hurried on his way, the west city was hundreds of miles away from Shangyong, and when he arrived at Shangyong, he was still late. Looking at this scene, the war has already ended for you.

And they have already lost Shangyong.

"General, what should we do?"

A school lieutenant stepped forward and asked, clasping his hands.

To attack now, or not to attack?
Facing the two heads hanging up, the soldiers were all in a state of anxiety.

"Retreat ten miles and set up camp!"

Yang Bo took a deep breath. On the city wall, the Jing Ping army waiting in formation was absolutely elite. Without the support of the mediocre soldiers, he didn't have the guts to continue the attack, so he had to set up camp.

"promise!"

The generals took orders, and the army began to retreat slowly.

"Withdrawn?"

On the top of the city, Chen Dao, Zhang Liao, and Ye Ru stood side by side. They stared at the city and watched the army retreat. Chen Dao had a playful smile on his lips: "I thought he would fight!"

"I don't know Yang Bai very well, but I do know that Zhang Lu relied on the counselor Yan Pu in his strategy, but on the march, he relied on Yang Bai!" Ye Ru narrowed his eyes and said: "He was the first person to enter Nanzheng back then, and he was also the one who led the troops to raid the Su family. He is known as the most loyal dog under Zhang Lu's command!"

"One day, I will behead him and fear my Su clan!"

Young Su Xin, standing behind a few people, stared intently, full of hatred.

"I haven't seen the others, but I have seen this person's calmness!"

Zhang Liao said: "If it was me instead, I would be a little bit unwilling. Even if he didn't attack forcefully, he would attack with a feint. Under such circumstances, he can be so calm and retreat steadily. Simple!"

Faced with this kind of situation, most people would attack tentatively, but Yang Bai was neat and quick, seeing that there was no chance, he retreated without saying a word.

"If he attacks, maybe he will give us a chance to beat them for a while!"

Chen Dao also smiled and said, "Why don't we fight for a while while they are not yet firmly established?"

"There is no chance, it's better to stabilize Shangyong and let the lord enter Shangyong!" Zhang Liao thought for a while, shook his head, and said in a deep voice.

"Too!"

Chen Dao nodded, he couldn't rush forward at this time.

"In addition, Fangling must be well controlled!" Zhang Liao said, "I'm going to put the main force of the first battalion in Fangling!"

"Ok!"

Chen Dao also agreed with this decision. He said: "I think it is best to make good use of the road between Fangling and Nanyang, and dig out the Dongshan plank road, which will make it easier for us to connect with Nanyang!"

"This is still waiting for the lord to come, and we will decide after discussion!"

…………

……

In the first year of Chuping, October 24th.

It snowed lightly.

Under the cover of this light snow, Hanzhong County announced the entry of the cold winter season.

Shangyong East Gate.

Chen Dao, Zhang Liao, Mo Bao, Du Feng, Huo Shao, Ye Ru, Su Xin, and more than a dozen people, all of whom are the commanders of Jingping's army and the managers of the Shangyong county government, lined up and waited. Facing the front in the snowstorm.

They are waiting for Mujing.

Today is the day when Mujing's main force enters Shangyong.
