Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #126 - Chapter 126
As Han Sui was stabbed to death by Ma Teng, Jia Xu’s face showed a smile that he knew he would be like this.
So far, Guo Si, Li Jue, Wu Xi, and Han Sui, the four powerful princes of Guanzhong, have all died!
The only princes with names and surnames left were Duan Xuan, who was beside Jia Xu, and Ma Teng, who was on the enemy’s side.
And one of Ma Teng’s sons also died.
Among the small princes and thieves, a few were unlucky enough to die in the melee.
During this period, there were not many minor princes who followed Ma Teng. Seeing that the situation was not good, they wanted to lead their troops to leave, but they were intercepted and killed by Xu Huang.
Jia Xu only used sixty carts of money and a few general seals to instigate the princes of Xiliang in Guanzhong to attack each other, causing many casualties.
This is not because Jia Xu is cruel and cruel. After all, although Jia Xu is known as a poisonous person, he has always been a person who does not offend others and does not like killing.
The reason why he did this is because all the princes in Guanzhong and Xiliang all have ways to die!
After Dong Zhuo’s death, Li Jue and Guo Si fought for power and attacked each other.
Jia Xu has tried to persuade them to make peace many times, so that they can work together to strengthen the power of the Xiliang Clan, achieve great things, and make his job more stable.
However, Li Jue and Guo Si were short-sighted and could not see the general trend of the world. They only fought in Chang’an Pass.
In Chang’an and most of Guanzhong, the people who were brought into trouble by Li Jue and Guo Si were in dire straits, and not even one in a hundred was left alive!
The villages and cities were abandoned, the surviving people fled into the mountains or out of the pass, and large tracts of fertile farmland were abandoned.
Even the emperor and his ministers were starving for a time, and those who wanted to eat something hot had to go out of the city to chop wood for a fire.
Many of the ministers and officials who went out to cut firewood in the city have disappeared since then, because they were killed and eaten by hungry rebel soldiers!
The eight-hundred-mile Qinchuan, which the Qin State relied on to achieve its great cause, was almost destroyed by Li Jue, Guo Si and others!
Jia Xu is not a very kind-hearted person, but he also knows that a chaotic and sparse world is not conducive to his own peace.
Moreover, his bosses, Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, would definitely look down on people like Li Jue and Guo Si and would not keep them.”Three One Three”
Therefore, Jia Xu’s first step was to join forces with others to instigate rebellion against Wu Xi, and first get rid of Li Jue and Guo Si.
Then, he repeated his old tricks, instigating rebellion and bribed some of Han Sui’s generals, and laid a plan to cause chaos among the princes.
On the battlefield just now, this game happened, which caused Ma Teng to be furious and he and Han Sui attacked each other.
Ma Teng’s troops were strong and brave, but Jia Xu only had one Xu Huang who was strong enough, so Jia Xu knew from the beginning that Wu Xi and Duan Xuan could not stop Ma Teng’s generals.
Duan Xuan was a hometown friend of Jia Xu. Although he had shortcomings, he was still kind. He was also one of the few Xiliang princes who knew how to treat the people under his rule well and encourage the development of farming.
Therefore, Jia Xu naturally knows how to use Duan Xuan.
But Wu Xi did not receive such treatment. He wanted to replace Guo Bang because of his own ambition, so it was not a good idea to cooperate with Jia Xu.
Even without Jia Xu, Wu Xi would have rebelled against Guo Si sooner or later.
If such a rebellious guy really stays, he will be a hidden danger in the future.
If Wu Xi rebels at that time, Jia Xu, the recommender, will inevitably be implicated.
Therefore, Jia Xu could not keep Wu Xi either for his boss or for himself.
Wu Xi died on the battlefield, and it was a”regret” that he did not wait for the reward after victory…
Therefore, Wu Xi died at the hands of Pang De.
It seems to be a coincidence on the battlefield, but in fact every step is within Jia Xu’s calculation.
As soon as Wu Xi died, the general’s seal and the reward after victory were promised to him. Naturally, he did not need to give it. At most, he mentioned it when paying homage to the fallen soldiers and gave him a free posthumous title…
Borrowing the hand of Ma Teng’s general After killing Wu Xi, Jia Xu asked Xu Huang and Duan Xuan to pretend that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad, and began to pretend defeat and sell Han Sui.
Han Sui was also capricious. He rebelled many times and was appeased by the imperial court. Jia Xu never thought of appeasing Han Sui.
Moreover, Jia Xu was only using Han Sui to create a estrangement.
If Han Sui is really allowed to survive, then there will be no credit but hard work, and his boss will have to give him a reward. It seems that Jia Xu’s work is not clean!
Therefore, Han Sui was sold after being used and died at the hands of Ma Teng.
Anyway, Han Sui never expressed his intention to surrender to Cao’s army from beginning to end, and he was considered an enemy.
The fight between him and Ma Teng was an internal conflict within the enemy’s army…
This was Jia Xu’s achievement that night and half of the day!
A total of six influential princes in Guanzhong were killed by Jia Xu in less than a day… Four of them were calculated to death!
The original 200,000 enemy soldiers and bandit soldiers from various princes in Guanzhong and Xiliang also suffered countless casualties in the melee that night and half a day!
This is also part of Jia Xu’s plan. What Cao Jun wants now is not the help of the 200,000 thieves in the pass, but that they not help Yuan Shao.
Even if Jia Xu recruited these 200,000 rabble, he would not have enough food to support these soldiers.
Guanzhong, which was originally prosperous, was destroyed and ruined by these bandits. It can be said that none of these people was innocent.
Those who can survive to this day are all stained with the blood and tears of the people in Guanzhong.
Even if they are all appeased, these thieves who have become accustomed to killing, looting and acting recklessly will still be an unsettling threat.
Maybe one day when his brain gets hot, he will burn, kill and loot in Yuzhou and become a rebel army…
Therefore, taking advantage of this wave of chaos to eliminate these unstable and blood-stained rebel soldiers as much as possible is a once and for all solution.
It not only allows Jia Xu to do a good job and gain more military achievements, but also relieves his two bosses Cao from a lot of burdens and does not have to bear a bad reputation.
And the elimination of so many traitors has eliminated a big cancer and threat to the ruined Guanzhong and the remaining people in Guanzhong.
Next, Guanzhong and Liangzhou can also slowly recover, and can recuperate and recuperate under the governance of Sili Colonel Zhong Yao, and the fertile soil of Qinchuan of 800 miles can be restored as soon as possible, becoming the stable rear and granary of his boss Cao.
It can be said that Cao Ang’s decision to appoint Jia Xu to deal with the princes in Guanzhong from the beginning was undoubtedly the most correct decision.
Because he knew that Jia Xu would do his job beautifully!
And Jia Xu also knew what his young boss meant. He knew that although Cao Ang didn’t say it explicitly, he had already planned it all!
Therefore, Cao Ang was actually behind all this, and Jia Xu was just the one taking the blame…
But Jia Xu was happy to take the blame. After all, while taking the blame, he also had great achievements to make.
When Jia Xu proposed the plan to Li Jue and Guo Si to attack Chang’an and kill Situ Wang Yun, it was already dark. He didn’t care if it got darker…
Just when Jia Xu was thinking this, he only saw that with the death of Han Sui, Han Sui His subordinates were also retreating steadily and gradually became exhausted.
Ma Teng’s troops became more and more courageous as they fought, and were even about to gain the upper hand.
Xu Huang and Duan Xuan’s troops were no match for the bravery of Ma Teng’s soldiers.
So Jia Xu waved his command flag behind him, and the next moment, an army of horses came to kill him from a distance.
It was Jia Xu’s ambush that had not yet been moved, and Xia Houyuan’s thousands of soldiers and horses.
They are all the elites of Cao’s army!
“kill!”
Xia Houyuan took the lead, swinging his sword like the wind, like a tiger descending the mountain.
Behind him were thousands of elite soldiers of Cao Cao, all of whom had experienced hundreds of battles with Cao Cao. There were many Qingzhou soldiers who were only one in a hundred. After Cao Ang’s training and training, they were very brave.
Those The small group of princes and thieves who followed Ma Teng were killed in an instant.
Jue had troops and horses, but after the battle just now, the weak soldiers were almost exhausted, and there were still more than ten thousand elite veterans. The troops and horses were much more refined, and Xu Huang personally led the troops to fight with Xia Houyuan. The corresponding response made Ma Teng’s left wing and rear formation loose.
Duan Yan knew that this was a meritorious battle for him to surrender to Cao Ying, and he did not want to show weakness and let generals like Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan look down on him. So he became ruthless, staked his fortune, and attacked the right wing of Ma Teng’s army. At this time, the rear and left and right wings of Ma Teng’s army were attacked fiercely. They began to falter and were on the verge of retreating.
They all led the front troops to fight with Han Sui’s general Yan Xing and others. They saw Han Sui’s old troops retreating steadily, with casualties everywhere.
The Han Sui generals who had shot Ma Xiu to death with cold arrows were also killed in the rebel army.
But suddenly the rear and left and right were unstable, so Ma Chao had to return to the army to rescue him.
Ma Chao was entangled by Han Sui’s general Yan Xing, and was temporarily unable to rescue him. The two were fighting inextricably. Yan Xing’s eyes were red and he vowed to fight for his master Han Sui. Revenge.
Pang De came with a sword and fought with Xia Houyuan. He blocked the advance of Cao’s elite troops led by Xia Houyuan.
Ma Teng and his nephew Ma Dai fought against Xu Huang and Duan Xuan respectively. The sky was dark and the ground was dark..
There were killing sounds and smoke billowing outside Mianchi City!
“Uncle, the enemy’s forces are strong and our army cannot be reluctant to fight!”
While fighting, Ma Dai saw that Jia Xu’s side was assisted by the elite Cao army under Xiahou Yuan’s command, and that there were more soldiers and horses on the opposite side than his own. The small princes who followed Ma Teng were also dead and wounded. Nearly half of Ma Teng’s army had been killed and wounded, and they were gradually falling. Wind.
So while fighting, Ma Teng shouted and persuaded. At this time, because he had avenged his son Ma Xiu by killing Han Sui and many of his soldiers, he gradually became calmer.
With bloodshot eyes, he looked around the battlefield and saw corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood.
More than half of the 200,000 soldiers and horses who were marching together yesterday were now dead and wounded, and the survivors were still fighting to the death… a world full of people. The scene of hell!
Even Ma Teng’s original 50,000 Xiliang soldiers were now less than 30,000!
At this moment, Ma Teng also realized that he had probably fallen into Jia Xu’s plan! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Even Han Sui may have fallen into the trap and died unjustly, but he had no time to regret it. At this point, no matter how he planned to coordinate Yuan Shao’s attack on Cao Ang and his son, it was impossible. It has become empty talk. If I don’t leave, I will only be afraid of myself, my nephew, and my subordinates.���Soldiers and horses will be wiped out here.
Outside Mianchi, it looks like a human flesh millstone designed by Jia Xu!
“Jia Xu! Jia Xu! What a vicious calculation you have!”
Ma Teng was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and his helmet was lost in the melee. At this moment, he looked in the direction of Jia Xu with disheveled hair and shouted.
Jia Xu looked calm, cupped his hands towards Ma Teng and said,”You and I each do our part. My Lord, when fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers never tire of deceit!
Since the general is General Fubo, he should know that the battlefield is ruthless.
The general and I are both from Xiliang, so the general can be considered a hero.
If he defected and returned at this time, it would be a great achievement and he would not lose his status as a prince!
My lord and son will also treat the general and his son well!
Ma Teng snorted coldly:”I, a son of Liangzhou, was born in the wilderness, galloping on the grassland, and I am supposed to run rampant. How can I be a lackey of the Cao family!””
After that, Ma Teng made a decisive decision and ordered the retreat…..
And Jia Xu did not order to stop it. At this point, Jia Xu had already exceeded his performance.
Moreover, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De are all brave and brave, but the trapped beasts are still fighting, and the outcome may not be known yet.[]
This result is enough now.
Even if Boss Cao and Young Master Cao Ang find out, they still have to give Jia Xu a thumbs up.
There were 200,000 Guanzhong Liangzhou princes’ coalition forces, and more than a dozen princes and thieves, big and small. Only Duan Xuan and Ma Teng were left to be plotted by Jia Xu.
Moreover, the dozens of carts of money, the general’s seal, and the promise of rewards that had been sent out had to be taken back after Wu Xi and others died in the battle… except for the twenty carts of coins given to Duan Xuan, which was regarded as the hard work of attracting others.
The forty carts of money given to Ma Teng and other minor princes, as Ma Teng retreated hastily, even the camp and baggage were abandoned, so naturally the money could not be taken away.
Moreover, Ma Teng only had more than 20,000 remaining troops and retreated to Liangzhou, unable to respond to Yuan Shao.
It can be said that it was a complete victory, with almost no effort, and a lot of money!
In Jia Xu’s place, except for the thousands of elite Cao troops led by Xia Houyuan, who were almost unscathed, the rest of Li Jue and Guo���The Jiu tribe and Duan Xuan’s tribe also suffered more than half casualties.
The small princes and thieves who relied on Ma Teng were almost completely wiped out.
Most of Han Sui’s 40,000 troops were killed or wounded, leaving only Yan Xing and more than 10,000 troops.
In other words, of the 200,000 rebels and thieves in Guanzhong, more than 130,000 were killed or injured during that night and most of the day, and only less than 70,000 soldiers and horses survived!
Among them, more than 20,000 were the remnants of Ma Teng’s army, and more than 40,000 were the remnants of Duan Xuan, Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Wu Xi.
They are said to be remnants, but those who survived to the end in this chaotic battle can also be regarded as elite soldiers.
Bringing them back is also a boost to Cao’s army, and they are well-trained and simple. Whether it is raising soldiers or training and training, they are also very worry-free and can be controlled.
Jia Xu can’t train troops, but he can choose troops!
It’s just that this method of selecting soldiers is a bit cruel.……
“The last general, Yan Xing, is willing to lead Han Gong’s old Jincheng Army to surrender to Cao Gong and his son!”
At this time, Yan Xing, covered in blood, came to Jia Xu with a tired look and expressed his intention to surrender.
Jia Xu smiled and helped Yan Xing up, and readily agreed.
Jia Xu knew Yan Xing. He was loyal, filial, and extremely brave.
When Ma Teng and Han Sui were fighting against each other, Ma Chao fought with Yan Xing. The battle was so fierce that Yan Xing’s spear was broken by Ma Chao, but Yan Xing was determined to fight. He stabbed Ma Chao in the neck with the sharp part of the broken spear shaft, almost killing Ma Chao for his life! It can be said that Yan Xing may be slightly inferior to Ma Chao in terms of force , but he was not much worse than Han Sui.
After Ma Teng was killed, Yan Xing did not retreat, but was eager to avenge his master Han Sui.
Such a loyal and brave man can be a good general!
It is also a great achievement for Jia Xu to subdue this good general for his boss Cao Gongzi. One piece.
At this point, Jia Xu led Duan Xuan, Yan Xing, Xu Huang and more than 40,000 Xiliang troops in Guanzhong to successfully withdraw.
In addition to thousands of Cao troops led by Xia Houyuan, the total number was 50,000.
However, Jia Xu! However, they did not take these 50,000 troops directly back to Cao Cao’s main force in Mengjin. Instead, after sending a message to Cao Cao on 2.4 to report the victory, they directly turned north at Pingjin, northwest of Luoyang, and then crossed the Yellow River along the north bank. , marching eastward.
A few days later, they appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River and west of Gaogan’s Bingzhou Army.
This time they defeated the feudal lords in Guanzhong and gathered a lot of horses, about thousands of them, and many of the Xiliang soldiers knew how to ride. Therefore, Jia Xu’s new troops and horses will have thousands of cavalry, which is not inferior to the high-ranking Bingzhou flying cavalry. As soon as Jia Xu’s 50,000 soldiers and horses, including thousands of cavalry, come out, the high-ranking cadres in the Bingzhou military camp will come out. , and suddenly panicked!
At this time, Cao Cao also led Meng Jin’s main force of more than 100,000 Cao troops to cross the river! There were 150,000 troops from the west and the north, and the Gaogan army had no advantage and was lost. Since he only had the advantage of cavalry, how could he dare to fight?
So seeing that the situation was not good, he led his army to retreat eastward to join Yuan Shao’s main force, and took advantage of the situation to join forces and pursue Gao Gan. After merging the state army, Yuan Shao pursued the two armies eastwards.���All failed!
To the west and northwest of Yuzhou, there are no worries!
When Gao Gan led the Bingzhou army to retreat to Suanzao and joined Yuan Shao’s army, Yuan Shao learned that in less than half a month, the Cao family and his son had done such a big thing behind his back!
After learning that he had spent tens of thousands of gold to bribe Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, they were all tricked to death by Jia Xu. The only remaining Ma Teng, who had been tricked, was defeated and retreated to Longxi, Liangzhou.
Not only were the 200,000 Guanzhong reinforcements gone, but they also asked Jia Xu to surrender Duan Su, Yan Xing and more than 40,000 troops to join Cao’s army, which turned out to be Cao’s army…
Yuan Shao directly broke through the defense and was so angry that he spurted blood on his nephew. A good look!
“brute! What a beast!
Father and son Cao Mengde and Cao Zixiu are not human beings at all!
Too bullying……”
Yuan Shao’s mouth was full of blood, and he was jumping on his feet and yelling curses. It was really a bloody mouthful.……
