Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 690

The wind at the turn of spring and summer has already brought a bit of warmth.But at this moment, Zhang Liao didn't want to feel the relief of the majestic wind blowing across his cheeks. In fact, the wind blowing across his face at this moment was no less than the cold wind in winter.The war horse under his crotch was galloping at a very high speed, making it impossible for the wind to be gentle at this time.

But Zhang Liao's heart was a little tender at the moment, but his tenderness was not a man's love and care for his lover, but the warmth of being valued by others.When he saw the words "Jinyang begging for thieves" on the imperial edict, he couldn't help feeling ecstatically: Your Majesty, you finally remember me, Zhang Wenyuan!
Zhang Liao admitted that the past few years in the Han Dynasty had been a very comfortable time for him.There is no intrigue between the chaotic armies, and there is no shocking news about the three changes in the court. Even the very shady general Lu Bu he served would occasionally greet him for a few drinks-this was at the beginning. In the days of running around and wandering, it is unimaginable.

But just like everything can't be perfect, after Zhang Liao enjoyed a period of peace, a little ambition began to grow in his heart.However, his ambition is not the desire for power, nor the pursuit of money and beautiful women.His ambition is to wipe out the smoke in his hometown and revive the reputation of his ancestors!

Zhang Liao's ancestor was not named Zhang, but Nie.If this surname was mentioned more than 300 years ago, people at that time would definitely think of a terrifying conspiracy: the conspiracy of Mayi.

In the first year of Yuanguang in the Han Dynasty, Nie Yi, a wealthy merchant in Mayi, Yanmen, was familiar with the Xiongnu and worried about the endless troubles of the Western Han Dynasty. Through Wang Hui, he suggested to Emperor Wu that after the marriage, the Han Dynasty had won the trust of the Huns. If you lure them with profit, you will be able to defeat them.So Nie Yi was ordered to use himself as a bait to personally go to the Huns' camp, and feigned surrender to Shanyu, the military official at the time, and even claimed that he could kill the county magistrate of Mayi and force the whole city of Mayi to surrender.

The Xiongnu Shanyu believed his words and was greedy for his profit, so he immediately planned to raise troops.After Nie Yi returned to Han, he falsely called the head of a criminal as the head of Mayi chief official to show that the time had come to lure the Xiongnu army into the important area.

The plan went smoothly, but unexpectedly, when the Xiongnu Shanyu was marching, he found that there were only livestock and no people between the city and the field, so he became suspicious.He sent troops to capture a blockhouse and captured a Wei Shi.The lieutenant's history exposed the truth that more than 30 Han troops had ambushed near Mayi. Shan Yu, who saw through the conspiracy, retreated in shock, so the Han army's ambush was useless.

So far, the "Mayi Conspiracy" of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu's counterattack ended in failure.And Nie Yi, the mastermind of this conspiracy at that time, was Zhang Liao's ancestor.

In the world, heroes are judged by success or failure. Zhang Liao was never ashamed of having such an ancestor, he just resented the cruelty of the world.After that incident, the Nie family of Mayi, Yanmen disappeared forever before the eyes of the world.In order to avoid the Xiongnu's settlement after autumn and the wrath of the Han Dynasty, their family changed their surname to Zhang to avoid resentment.

When Zhang Liao was born, there was no trace of Ma Yi's wealthy merchants in his family, and he might even be relatively poor.Growing up in such a family, the ancestor's last wish naturally became Zhang Liao's lifelong wish.Especially when offering sacrifices to the ancestors every year, the scene of having to secretly worship at home left an imprint on Zhang Liao's young heart.

Finally, Zhang Liao has grown up to this day, and as a general of the Han Dynasty, he is obviously the only one among his clan who is closest to fulfilling his long-cherished wish.And this time sending troops to Jinyang is Zhang Liao's biggest opportunity.Because, along with the imperial edict, there was also a statement from the current emperor: If the battle of Jinyang is completely won, I will recreate the image of Nie Yi in Chang'an and tell the world!

Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Liao's heart is not only overflowing with tenderness and touch, but also with a passionate sense of ambition.In the past few days, Zhang Liao has hardly slept, like a completely burning torch, rushing towards his own journey.This kind of excitement that completely ignited the body and mind made Zhang Liao almost crazy.

Fortunately, this time, he also had to be crazy.Jinyang is currently besieged on all sides, and only if he rushes there as quickly as possible will he give hope to the defenders.In order to achieve this goal, the emperor of the Han Dynasty specially issued an edict to assign all the Bingzhou wolf riders who are good at running and half of the tiger and ben elite to Zhang Liao.Among them, the assembly and delivery of troops, the preparation of food and supplies, the distribution of weapons and the deployment of horses, all the preparatory work was completed within five days by Wubing Shangshu Cao - such an amazing efficiency, undoubtedly the Han Dynasty The most powerful support for Zhang Liaoping's anti-ancestor.

Zhang Liao also knows that if you procrastinate for a moment, you will be more passive. His years of military career have taught him a simple truth-"Soldiers are expensive and quick".After the mobilization of the troops took shape, he immediately reported to the emperor, and rushed towards Jinyang with the 1 people who had just completed mobilization.

This was the fastest march in the history of the Han army. Compared with Cao Cao's known as the fastest attacking general in the world, his march of "five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days" is no different.After all, Xia Houyuan's quick attack was just a rush before the decisive battle, and this time the Han army set off from Chang'an to the battlefield, and adopted such a high-intensity march throughout the process.

When Zhang Liao was able to see the Huotai Mountain Range, only half a month had passed.And there are still 1 troops behind him, and no one was left behind during the march.This result undoubtedly made Zhang Liao very satisfied.

However, when he arrived here, Zhang Liao had to stop. The opposite of "soldiers are expensive and fast" is "at the end of the crossbow, you can't wear Lulu"-cavalry must maintain sufficient physical strength and horsepower to burst out the strongest combat power at the right moment.Zhang Liao is still clear about the basis of these commanding cavalry.

So at the foot of Mount Huotai, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to rest.What he has to do now is to gather and analyze the Jinyang battle reports received along the way, so as to have a clear understanding of the battle situation ahead.Fortunately, the Han Dynasty is also unparalleled in the world in terms of intelligence.In particular, before Du Ji took office, he deliberately took away a dozen Jinyiwei.

When soldiers are in danger and battles are fierce, sometimes even a mosquito cannot fly over the dense battlefield.But the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty had already had a special channel for this matter.It is also because of this that there is a saying in the army that 'a few Jinyiwei are worth more than [-] troops'.This is not to say that Jin Yiwei's combat power is so fierce, but that their intelligence is outstanding enough to be proud of the world.

After all, the weather in Bingzhou was drier than that in Guanzhong, and Zhang Liao couldn't help feeling parched after entering the tent.Now it's like this again, my lips feel like they are about to split, and my nose is also very uncomfortable due to the wind and sand.Seeing that it was getting late, he rubbed his eyes that were red from the wind, and looked away from the information. He untied his skin bag and poured water into his mouth in one go, waiting quietly for something.

Then, several figures appeared in the darkness: "Report to the general, we have obtained the latest information from Bingzhou."

These people wearing expensive and brocade clothes are undoubtedly the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty.Although it was Zhang Liao's first contact with these mysterious people, it did not prevent him from growing into a general demeanor.So, Zhang Liao rubbed his young but tired face, and only uttered two words: "How?"

"In the south of Bingzhou, Li Yan Sima has led his troops to station in Jiexiu, cut off several thieves who were not in the climate, and opened up the grain road from Guanzhong to Jinyang."

"To the west, General Zang followed Chen's plan and marched quietly by day and night. Then he rushed out and defeated the newly formed Baibo bandits. Killing the leader of the Baibo bandits, Li Le, was useless, and now he is mobilizing local officials. To appease, the threat of the white wave bandits in the west is temporarily lifted."

Hearing these two reports, Zhang Liao quickly put his leather bag back in place, and leaned forward to show his concern for this matter: Obviously, these two battle reports are good news for the Han Dynasty, so Zhang Liao only needs to concentrate on it. Just defeat Budugen and the black bandits.However, at the same time, there is also a trace of pressure and excitement in his heart, because the results of the two battles are brilliant, and he must win a perfect victory in order to live up to the great trust of the emperor.

"So, where is Jinyang City?" Finally, Zhang Liao asked the question he was most concerned about.

But this question made Jin Yiwei in front of him a little silent.Just when Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows, a person stepped forward and replied, "There is no war here in Jinyang..."

"No war?" Zhang Liao's composure still collapsed, he couldn't believe the result at all: "How is this possible?!"

"It was Lord Du Ji who saw through the weakness of Bu Dugen's incompatibility with the Heishan bandits, and Yuan Shao's group of second-rate advisers gave way to Bu Dugen and the Heishan bandits to attack the city half a month ago. Then Captain Wei sent troops to attack the Xianbei cavalry, but Letting the bandits in Heishan angered Budugen in an instant. After this, the two bandit armies slacked off from each other and never attacked the city again."

"Oh... there is such a thing?" Zhang Liao carefully chewed on the words of this Jin Yiwei, and he felt that he seemed to wake up something.Finally, after he finally figured it out, he couldn't help laughing with relief: "Hahaha...the heavens really have eyes, if you don't win this time, it will be too much for heaven!"
