Chapter 69 Meng County encounters obstacles
Liang Fa's head was hung in the most eye-catching position in the Xicheng Tower in Suiyang City the next morning. The Yellow Turban Army outside the city was in chaos. Yesterday, in order to make contributions, Liang Fa transferred all the elite troops under his command, which made it possible for the Yellow Turban Army outside the city to lead a large army to rush in after breaking the city last night. As a result, Liang Fa was trapped. Before the Yellow Turban Army outside the city reached the city wall, he was shot back by the soldiers guarding the city with arrows. Although there were many people at this moment, he could not organize a decent attack, let alone seize the city.
In just one morning, thousands of Yellow Turban troops fled, and the Yellow Turban Army coalition that cost dozens of miles was filled with sorrow.
Near noon, Suiyang City, which had been closed in the city gate, suddenly opened the four gates. Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Ding Li, and Fang Yue each led five hundred troops out of the four gates and came to the Golden Formation to provoke.
Outside the west gate, Dian Wei's burly body was like a ferocious beast in the sun. In addition, the white-browed tiger was erecting its teeth and claws on one side. The momentum of each person and tiger erupted, causing the Yellow Turban Army to look at it.
"Chen Liu and Dian Wei are here. Who is not afraid of death? Come and fight quickly!" Dian Weiliu, in front of the two armies, inserted a pair of iron halberds into the ground, staring at the Yellow Turban Army in front of him with a fierce look on his face. Although there were only 500 people, they were all very powerful and faintly suppressed the aura of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in front of him.
Outside the east gate, Fang Yue did not talk nonsense, but commanded five hundred soldiers to form a formation, and headed towards the Yellow Turban Army that was several times more powerful than him at a slow and firm pace. Under the severe formation, the Yellow Turban Army, which had lost its spirit, was forced to retreat continuously by the official army with far fewer troops than his side, allowing the Yellow Turban generals to scold him, but no one dared to take a step forward.
The north gate and the south gate were similar. The Yellow Turban Army outside the city, which was several times the number of officials, was frightened by the number of officials, which was even less than one-tenth of the one-sided party, and began to disperse.
On the city tower, watching the formation gradually begin to become chaotic and the Yellow Turban Army constantly appearing, a smile flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Meng Hu, Zhang Wu, Gao Sheng and others beside him and said: "Transfer our military orders, the three armies will leave the city. This time, we will recapture the Liang Kingdom in one battle."
"Here!" Meng Hu and others quickly took the order and went to pass the orders.
Ye Zhao looked at Gao Sheng and smiled and said, "The memorial to the court can be sent out."
Qiu Chi was also very happy and bowed to him and said, "Lord is just around the corner!"
Uplift?
Ye Zhao nodded without objection. After this battle, Liang State may not have anything to do. The new Prime Minister of Liang State should come to replace him soon. As for how the court will arrange for him, it is impossible for Gao to be promoted to Ye Zhao. At most, he will stabilize his current official position. If the word "dai" is removed, he will go to a prefect somewhere, and it is unlikely that he will be promoted. First, he is a family. In addition to the name of Cai Yong's disciple, Ye Zhao has a very weak connection in the scholars. Second, he is too young now and it is difficult for the court to make an exception and reuse it.
"Look, lord, the Yellow Turban Army is defeated!" While Ye Zhao was thinking about the next step, Qiu Chi, who was standing beside him, suddenly pointed at the outside of the city with a look of surprise and shouted.
Ye Zhao came back to his senses and looked outside the city. He saw that the Yellow Turban Army was finally completely in chaos after Dian Wei killed three generals in a row. As Dian Wei launched a charge, the Yellow Turban Army rushed to escape, and countless people trampled on each other. In just a quarter of an hour, it changed from the previous confrontation to a defeat. In an unexpected situation, Ye Zhao felt that it was reasonable.
"Chasing!" Ye Zhao looked at the defeated formation of the Yellow Turban Army and decisively issued a pursuit order.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated. Even if there were ambushes, they could be dispersed by these defeated troops. There was no need to worry about it.
"I ordered Meng Hu and Zhang Wu to lead a thousand soldiers to defend the city, and all the remaining soldiers went out of the city to pursue. Remember, those who surrendered will not be killed!" Ye Zhao took the helmet and tied it up from his personal guard, and told him while walking down the city.
"As for the order!" Qiu Chi bowed.
The soldiers and horses in the city were ready to go. After a while, when Ye Zhao came down to the city, the troops in the city were already waiting in line. With Ye Zhao's order, in addition to the troops left behind in the city, the veterans in the city plus the security troops recruited thereafter attacked 4,000 people, led by Ye Zhao, all of them left the city.
Ye Zhao had already made an agreement with the generals that all the eight counties of Liang State, except Suiyang, would fall. Once the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, they would immediately counterattack and take back the other seven counties in the shortest time. Fang Yue was responsible for Meng County, Ningling and Yu County, and Ding Li was responsible for regaining Xiayi, Dang County and Luncheng County. As for the remaining Gu Shu, Ye Zhao ordered Guan Hai and Dian Wei to occupy it. This place is not far from Suiyang. In addition to collecting Gu Shu, it also means supporting Fang Yue and Ding Li, and protecting Suiyang.
The entire Suiyang official army launched a counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated. In just one day, Ye Zhao joined Dian Wei and Guan Hai, and easily captured Gu Shu.
Gu Shu was originally the closest city to Liang Fa. When he learned about Liang Fa's defeat and his army's defeat, the Yellow Turban generals guarding Gu Shu did not even resist. After receiving the news, he led his confidants to escape, causing Gu Shu to be easily taken down by Ye Zhao.
Not only Gu Shu, according to the war reports sent back in the following days, even if there were occasional resistance in Dang County, Yu County, Xiayi, Ningling and Luncheng, it did not cause too much waves. Fang Yue knew that the soldiers were the ones, and Ding Li was also a veteran on the battlefield. In addition, the spirit of the Yellow Turban Army had been lost, and the places where the official army passed by were almost surrendered. In just a few days, Ningling, Yu County and other places were recovered, and there were many good news in the territory of Liang.
After Ye Zhao confirmed that there was no danger around him, he led the main force to retreat to Suiyang and began to take charge of restoring people's livelihood. He arranged for the officials of each county to run the government and ordered the people to resume farming. He took advantage of the spring plowing to plant food first. As Ye Zhao said, after the war, he would be even busier.
After three days, the war in Liang State gradually subsided. On this day, Ye Zhao was discussing the resumption of business with a group of merchants in the prime minister's mansion, but saw Qiu Chi hurriedly coming in from outside the door, glanced at the merchants of Suiyang who were attracted by Ye Zhao, and a look of anxiety flashed across his face.
"For today's business, let's go back first." Ye Zhao smiled and looked at the merchants and said, "If there is any change, I will send someone to notify you that you will have to worry about this Liang State business."
"I dare not, we will leave first." A group of merchants quickly stood up and said goodbye and left with tactfully.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhao didn't look at Qiu Chi until everyone left.
"Fang Yue was accidentally defeated when attacking Meng County a few days ago and was injured in sores. Ding Li had already rushed to support him." Qiu Chisu said.
"How was Fang Yue injured? Where is Fang Yue now?" Ye Zhao frowned.
"The doctors have been sent to treat the patient, and it should not be serious. However, lord, the Yellow Turban of Meng County seems to be quite difficult. According to the person sent by Fang Yue, Ningling and Yu County had been recovered three days ago. In the past three days, Fang Yue attacked several times, but was all repelled by the Meng County defenders!" Qiu Chi frowned.
"I don't want Liang Fa's subordinates to have such a person." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to do with you. Go and inform Dian Wei to take him to the guard camp. I'll go there in person."
