When the majestic Zhuge Liang stood on the edge of the mountain, some sharp-eyed Wei soldiers below noticed him.
Among those Wei troops was Hao Zhao.
It's been almost three days.
Although during this period of time, Hao Zhao, as the commander-in-chief, could barely have enough to eat, it was only barely.
A feeling of hunger always lingered in his heart.
And this is true even for him, not to mention other grassroots soldiers.
Due to the lack of food among the nearly 10,000 Wei troops, most of them had been hungry and lay down on the ground in the past few days.
The feeling of hunger is like the call of death, making every Wei army feel desperate in their hearts.
Hao Zhao could sense the emotions of nearly ten thousand Wei troops.
Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to trying his best to appease people's hearts, he has also been focusing on the mountain.
He knew very well how decisively he rejected Zhuge Liang's words that day.
So he has been waiting for Zhuge Liang to finally kill him.
But what Hao Zhao never expected was that under his gaze, before the fire arrows filled the sky, he saw the majestic Zhuge Liang raising his arms on the mountain and shouting:
"Mountains and rivers are about to be connected to the Wei Dynasty, and the sun and the moon are reopening the sky of Han Dynasty."
Taking advantage of the deep terrain characteristics of the valley, the words Zhuge Liang shouted could easily reach the ears of every Wei army.
After hearing these words, the faces of all the Wei generals headed by Hao Zhao showed signs of shock.
What does it mean that mountains and rivers are related to Weidi?
奄 means full coverage, coverage.
How could they not be clear about what "Guan Wei" means?
Chang'an was captured by Mi Yang?!
When this astonishing guess comes to mind, which Wei general can remain calm?
Hao Zhao and other Wei generals rejected this speculation from the bottom of their hearts, because in their view, it was almost impossible.
Some time ago, news came that the main force of the Han army was in Wuzhangyuan.
Even though Mi Yang was good at field combat, he was able to defeat Cao Zhen in a short time and lead his army to the city of Chang'an.
But how could Chang'an be captured in such a short period of time!
If this is true, then the Han army's attack on Chang'an can be described in four words - devastating.
The reason in their minds made all the Wei generals subconsciously not want to believe this.
But the shouts from Zhuge Liang continued to resound throughout the valley.
As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was able to personally shout out the phrase "Mountains and rivers are related to the Wei Dynasty" in front of nearly ten thousand people, which in itself is the most powerful evidence.
Just when all the Wei generals were hesitating because of their inner shock, Zhuge Liang's shout came again from the mountain:
"General Mi has successfully recaptured Chang'an. If you don't surrender, you will be buried with us for rebelling against the Wei Dynasty!"
Compared to what he said just now, what Zhuge Liang is shouting now is more direct, and the meaning of shock in his words is stronger!
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the nearly 10,000 Wei soldiers who were lying on the ground in a daze suddenly reacted.
Zhuge Liang's words were exactly what he shouted to them.
Most of the Wei Jun who came from peasant families may not understand the meaning of Zhuge Liang's last sentence, but they can understand it without thinking.
Although most of the Wei army did not know how to write and write, in a world where integrity was valued, they knew that with Zhuge Liang's identity and reputation, his public declaration could never be a lie!
After realizing that Chang'an had been captured by Mi Yang, shock appeared on the faces of nearly 10,000 Wei troops.
But after the shock appeared, they struggled to get up from the ground without much strength in their bodies.
They did not want to be buried with Da Wei.
They knew that Hao Zhao had refused Zhuge Liang's surrender.
At that time, they were not dissatisfied with Hao Zhao's decision.
Because most of their family members were in Chang'an City, and as Hao Zhao said, Cao Wei's military law was strict and emphasized continuous sitting, and they did not want their surrender behavior to cause their family members to be brutally dealt with by military law.
But now that Chang'an has fallen into the hands of the Han army, why can't they find a way out for themselves?
First there were hundreds, then thousands, and finally nearly ten thousand Wei troops all used up the little strength in their bodies to stand up.
The hunger for days has made it difficult for them to perform simple standing actions.
But now they were suppressing the strong hunger in their bodies, staggering, swaying east to west, and converging towards Hao Zhao's location.
As nearly ten thousand Wei troops surrounded Hao Zhao, a sentence gradually sounded in the valley:
"The sun and moon reopen the Great Han Heaven!"
The person shouting these words now is not Zhuge Liang, but the nearly 10,000 Wei troops!
Even though nearly ten thousand Wei troops are weak, no matter how weak their voices are, they will become louder after being supported by nearly ten thousand people.
After a while, the entire valley was filled with the words shouted by nearly ten thousand Wei troops.
Loud and loud shouts kept rushing into the ears of Hao Zhao and all the Wei generals.
Looking at the "comrades" who were constantly surrounding them, and listening to the words rolling in their ears, how could Hao Zhao and the other Wei generals fail to understand the current wishes of nearly 10,000 Wei troops.
The words they shouted out now were not only a request to Hao Zhao, but also a threat to him.
Seeing that Hao Zhao had not yet made a decision, nearly ten thousand Wei troops were surrounding him more and more densely. Under the influence of the dense crowd, Hao Zhao's body trembled with a powerful sense of suffocation that he had never experienced before.
People’s hearts are like this, so what can be done about it!
If Hao Zhao was not willing to die for his country, it was because the country itself was not living up to expectations!
It was obvious that Hao Zhao didn't want to risk being torn apart by nearly ten thousand Wei soldiers, so when the nearest Wei soldier was less than five steps away from him, Hao Zhao finally made up his mind and stood up.
Hao Zhao stood up and looked up at Zhuge Liang on the mountain. After looking for a while, the strong man from Kansai finally bent his knees.
With a plop, Hao Zhao knelt down heavily, causing a cloud of dust to rise under him.
After Hao Zhao knelt down towards Zhuge Liang, a look of relief appeared on the faces of nearly 10,000 Wei troops.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They don’t want to get Hao Zhao’s blood on their hands unless necessary.
Now that Hao Zhao is on his knees, it is even more natural for them to surrender.
The nearly 10,000 Wei troops who had long been mentally prepared, the moment Hao Zhao knelt down to ask for surrender, all looked up at the mountains, and then knelt down directly towards Zhuge Liang.
It didn't take long before there was no more Wei army standing in the entire valley.
If the might of the great Han Dynasty is like this, what can be done about it?
Looking at the nearly ten thousand Wei troops kneeling below, Zhuge Liang stretched out a hand on the high mountain to show support.
Zhuge Liang, who was climbing high and looking into the distance, looked at the vast mountains and rivers that were all in his eyes, and then looked at his right hand that he was supporting, and he suddenly felt something and laughed happily again.
After decades of dedicated efforts to support each other, we can finally see the day when the great man can stand tall in the world again.
What a joy, what a joy!
...
When the news quickly spread to the west, many places east of Chang'an naturally received the news quickly.
The first to receive the news were naturally Ma Chao's troops who had been ordered to stop Xu Chu's reinforcements.
On a plain a hundred miles away from Tongguan, there stood a vast military camp.
This military camp is where Ma Chao's army is located.
When the messenger from Chang'an entered the military camp today, cheers and cheers soon filled the entire military camp.
The shouts first came from Ma Chao's tent, and then spread to the entire Han army camp at an extremely fast speed.
Ma Chao was sitting on the main seat in the military tent, looking at his subordinates below who were crying with joy, with a smile on his face that he couldn't suppress.
Even though the initial carnival has passed, every Han general in the big tent is still inevitably immersed in the joy of regaining Chang'an.
Suddenly a message came back to Chang'an from Tongwai. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears. It was the scene in the big tent now.
As the commander-in-chief, Ma Chao quietly watched each Han general's "gaffe" while lamenting Mi Yang's methods in his heart.
In addition to the excitement and ecstasy in his heart, Ma Chao, who had a blood feud with Cao Wei, also had a vague expectation in his heart:
"I heard that Cao Pi has been away from political affairs for a long time, probably due to poor health.
I wonder if he will be so angry when he gets the news and go directly to see Cao Cao?"
The "small expectations" in his heart cannot be explained to outsiders, and as the commander-in-chief, Ma Chao cannot infinitely let all the Han generals just immerse themselves in joy.
After mustering up great self-control, Ma Chaoqiang held on and said:
"The recapture of Chang'an is a great joy, but now..."
Ma Chao wanted to bring the Han generals in the tent back to the main topic of the discussion.
But he overestimates his control.
Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but burst into laughter because he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.
As a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles, Ma Chao has never seen any big scenes, and he has never experienced any kind of emotions.
But can you blame his self-control?
I really can’t bear it anymore!
Ma Chao's behavior of first becoming serious and then laughing was like adding fuel to the fire, which brought the boiling atmosphere in the military tent to a climax.
The generals, like Ma Chao, excitedly patted the table in front of them.
What's more, some Han generals directly took off the helmets on their heads and slapped the helmets with their hands to make bursts of heroic military music.
When the heroic military music was accompanied by the high-pitched shouts of the generals, every Han general could not help but be immersed in it.
With this atmosphere, Mi Yang would probably shake his head if he came.
After a long time, as time passed, the high atmosphere in the tent gradually eased down.
After all, although every Han general is a man of great vigor, he will get tired if he laughs all the time.
Slowly first, slowly first.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent had finally eased, Ma Chao took this opportunity and hurriedly said what he had just unfinished.
"The recapture of Chang'an is a great joy, but Xu Chu has not yet been eliminated. Our army's top priority is to eliminate Xu Chu as soon as possible so that Tongguan can be captured as soon as possible for the general."
After saying this, Ma Chao breathed a deep sigh of relief.
It's not easy, but we can finally talk about business.
What Ma Chao didn't notice was that his voice was a little hoarse at the moment.
But it didn't matter, because soon a hoarse voice sounded in the big tent.
"What the general said is absolutely true.
Tongguan is the barrier of Chang'an, and it is also the base for our army to move eastward in the future, so it must be recovered as soon as possible."
It was Zhang Yi who agreed with Ma Chao.
Mi Yang had previously sent Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi with 20,000 troops to support Ma Chao, and Mi Yang made this move in order to capture Tongguan.
After listening to what Ma Chao and Zhang Yi said, the faces of all the Han generals in the tent showed thoughtful expressions.
After the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, Ma Chao followed Mi Yang's order and led tens of thousands of light cavalry troops to the outside of Tongguan, hoping to block Xu Chu's army.
That blocking battle was successful.
After all, when Xu Chu set out, the news he received was that the main force of the Han army was still confronting Cao Zhen in Wuzhangyuan.
Although Xu Chu lost a lot of troops in that blocking battle, Ma Chao was unable to successfully annihilate Xu Chu's troops because of Xu Chu's brave fighting and the help of experts in Xu Chu's army.
After that battle, Xu Chu, who suffered heavy losses, retreated and defended the dangerous place outside Tongguan.
In the following days, although Ma Chao always wanted to annihilate Xu Chu's troops, at the beginning, Ma Chao only had the light cavalry army under his command. Under normal circumstances, the light cavalry army was unable to fight a tough battle.
Although Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi later brought 20,000 infantry troops, Xu Chu had already built a strong fortress by that time.
Under the protection of the strong fortress, even with the addition of a large number of fresh troops, Ma Chao was still unable to invade the Wei camp for a while.
Since this period of time, the Han army and the Wei army have generally maintained a tug-of-war.
Xu Chu's existence stuck in Ma Chao's throat like a thorn, making Ma Chao want to attack Tongguan but couldn't.
Ma Chao felt that if he wanted to attack Tongguan, he must first destroy the Wei army led by Xu Chu.
But what Jiang Wei said next broke Ma Chao's idea.
"Based on the current situation, our army does not need to focus on Xu Chu and should lead the army to attack Tongguan as soon as possible."
Jiang Wei's words successfully attracted the attention of the generals in the tent.
Ma Chao knew that Jiang Wei was highly valued by Mi Yang, so after Jiang Wei spoke, he used encouraging eyes to signal Jiang Wei to continue speaking.
Encouraged by Ma Chao's eyes, Jiang Wei stood up and continued to speak to the generals in the tent:
"The reason why our army was unable to bypass Xu Chu's troops before was because Chang'an was still in the hands of the bandits at that time.
Once our army bypasses Xu Chu's headquarters and goes straight to Tongguan, firstly, our army's retreat will be in danger, and secondly, the morale of Chang'an City will be greatly increased due to the arrival of reinforcements, which will not be conducive to the general's battle.
But now that Chang'an has been successfully recovered by the general, the situation has changed, and our army's tactics should naturally change accordingly.
Under the situation of recapturing Chang'an, there is no need to worry about our army's retreat. Xu Chu cannot risk being attacked from both sides by leading his army to disrupt our army's retreat.
Since we have no worries about the way forward, our army should attack Tongguan in a surprise attack."
"The news of Chang'an's recovery probably hasn't reached Tongguan yet.
If our army can attack Tongguan with lightning speed and attack it unprepared, it may not be impossible to capture Tongguan in one fell swoop.
Even though our army could not successfully attack Tongguan, when Xu Chu learned about our army's surprise attack on Tongguan, he should worry about losing his way back.
I predict that Xu Chu will abandon the camp and lead his army back to Tongguan."
"In a field battle with the enemy, the best strategy is to let the enemy mobilize his troops according to our ideas.
If you know what the opponent must do, and then attack the opponent's weakness, there is no battle that cannot be won!" If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han's novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
