Chapter 2837 The war to destroy the country started from then on, first defeating Puyang and then Xuchang

Chapter 2833: The war to destroy the country has begun, first defeating Puyang and then Xuchang

Regarding the fall of Daxing in the Sui Dynasty, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming naturally tried their best to block the news. After all, if the news spread, it would affect the morale of their own camp. However, the lurking Heibingtai was spreading the news. Even if the three kingdoms wanted to block the news, it would be difficult.

There is always a shortage of smart people in the world, so they naturally understand what the fall of Daxing City meant to the Sui Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.

 Chen Liu, in a restaurant.

“Brother Liu, have you heard that Daxing, the capital of Sui Dynasty, was captured by Li Jing?”

“There have been rumors everywhere recently, but how could it be so fast? Li Jing’s attack on the Sui Dynasty was nearly a month later than the Qin army’s attack on the Central Plains.”

"Who says otherwise? I heard that a few days ago, the Qin army was suppressed by the three coalition forces of Sui, Tuqiang and Qiang. It was at a disadvantage in all aspects. As a result, the three coalition forces were defeated in the blink of an eye. Sui King Yang Guang was also forced to give up Daxing. This is really Things are changing.”

"Let me tell you, this Li Jing is really amazing. His ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain is even more impressive than Bai Qi's."

 “In my opinion, Bai Qi is not as good as Li Jing.”

"How do you say this? Bai Qi is recognized as the first among the eight commander-in-chief of the Qin Army."

“In just one month, Li Jing not only defeated the three coalition forces of Tutu and Sui, but also captured the Sui capital, annihilated four to five million enemies, and was about to complete the great task of destroying the country.

Looking back at Bai Qi, it had been more than two months since the Central Plains War started, but he was still blocked by Le Yi in Dongjun. Li Jing was obviously stronger. "

"You can't calculate like this. How many talents can there be in that place in the northwest where birds don't lay eggs? And the Sui State is even more barren and small. How can it be compared with our powerful country in the Central Plains?"

 The implication is that the reason why Li Jing fought so smoothly was not because Li Jing was strong, but because the Sui State was too weak, and he looked down on the Sui State.

“That’s true, but if Daxing is destroyed like this, the Sui Kingdom will probably fall. And if the Sui Kingdom falls, the pressure on Cao Wei will be even greater, and I’m afraid it will be difficult..."

"Shhh...Brother Li, be careful. You can say this casually. Be careful that someone from the school affairs office will hear you and arrest you for spreading rumors and shaking the morale of the army. Cao Wei can't defeat Da Qin on the battlefield, but for us flat-headed people The common people are so cruel.”

As soon as these words came out, the scholar surnamed Li was filled with anger and said righteously: "The King of Wei is getting more and more outrageous now. He even silences the people. Don't you know that guarding the mouths of the people is better than guarding the rivers? "

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers from the school affairs office rushed in with a cold face and said coldly: "Is this the rumor you spread? I will arrest you all."

　　Then they ignored their excuses and forcibly arrested the two young men and put them in jail.

In the prefect's mansion, Fan Li reported worriedly: "My Lord, the news of the fall of Daxing can no longer be concealed due to the widespread spread of Daqin Heibingtai.

At present, in Chenliu County alone, 863 people have been arrested. If the arrests continue like this, the prison will almost not be able to hold them. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes were full of anger, and he said with murderous intent: "Gui Gu will identify all the spies of Heibingtai and punish them with death."

“My lord, there are only a few Black Ice Terrace spies among the people who have been arrested, and they all know that they will die if they admit it, so they are very tough-mouthed, and it may be difficult to identify them in the short term.”

 “Then give everyone…”

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao took the initiative to shut up. After all, if he killed everyone who had made comments because of a few spies, it would probably arouse public outrage.

 Cao Cao planned three uprisings against Qin in the three fallen counties. Naturally, he did not want his rear area to break out in uprising due to public anger.

 Cao Cao worked hard to bring down the Demon Sect. Now there are 130,000 Demon Sect rebels in the Central Plains. After receiving the support of the Demon Sect's money and food, Cao Wei also quickly expanded his army.

The current anti-Qin campaign in the Central Plains is developing in a positive direction. Just when Cao Cao thought he could persist, the northwest battlefield that had only started for a month was defeated first.

But even if Cao Cao was killed, he would never have imagined that the Sui, Tuqiang and Tuqiang armies, which combined totaled 500,000 to 600,000 troops, would be defeated by Li Jing's 300,000 troops. In just one month, the entire capital was lost.

You must know that during the Central Plains War, millions of Qin troops came in eight directions. Cao Wei single-handedly defeated four of them with the power of one country. Although it was always in decline, it was able to confront them head-on for more than two months.

 The pressure faced by the Wei State is unimaginable by the Sui State, but judging from the current situation, there is a 90% chance that the Sui State will perish before Wei.

If the Sui State was really weak and incompetent that led to its defeat so miserably and so quickly, then Cao Cao would naturally not say much.

But the problem is that Cao Cao knew that the Sui State was not weak, and whether it was Yang Guang, Yang Xingmi, Lun Qinling, or Yelv Deguang, they were not incompetent.

Is it true, as the people say, that Li Jing was hiding his clumsiness in the past and he is actually stronger than Bai Qi?

This is even more impossible, because only after you truly face Bai Qi, you will feel the hopeless feeling that there is no flaw and no way to start.

Although Cao Cao did not fight Bai Qi head-on, he was stationed at Chenliu and commanded the entire army from the center. Le Yi also had to listen to his command, so he was fighting Bai Qi from a distance.

Le Yi has performed perfectly and cautiously enough, but he is still suppressed by Bai Qi in all aspects.

This is still the result of a defensive battle. If it is a field battle or an encounter, the gap between the two sides will only be wider.

Cao Cao knew that even if he came in person, he would not be able to do better than Le Yi, so he never held Le Yi responsible for the defeat.

“Military Advisor, if Yang Guang can escape back to Xiliang, the Sui Kingdom may be able to survive for a while. If not, the Sui Kingdom may be directly divided, and the northwest Qin army will quickly occupy the entire Lianghai Prefecture.

 Once the Qin army from the northwest advances eastward, how should the three countries of the Central Plains respond? "

Cao Cao asked with a solemn face. He had also thought about disrupting the situation in the Western Region before, thereby delaying

Fan Li suddenly smiled bitterly after hearing this, what should I do? He doesn't know what to do, he's not a god.

Facing an enemy like the Qin Army that had no shortcomings in terms of force, strategy, and talents, even a wise man like Fan Li felt extremely powerless.

"My lord, the Qin army has gained an absolute advantage after the victory at Yiniu Mountain. It is impossible to hold back the Qin army by sowing discord. Now we can only hope that Yang Guang can escape back to Xiliang smoothly. Once Yang Guang In case of death..."

Fan Li didn't say anything else, but Cao Cao also knew what it meant.

If Yang Guang dies, the Sui Dynasty will be divided, and the Qin army will quickly occupy the two states of Liang and Huan. By then, the northwest Qin army will participate in the Central Plains War, which will be a nightmare for the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

 “That’s all we can do now.” Cao Cao sighed.

 A few days later, information about the Qin-Sui war came back again, but unfortunately it was bad news. The Sui troops who escaped from Daxing were completely wiped out. Yang Guang committed suicide. Yang Su, Shi Wansui and other senior generals of the Sui army were all killed in the battle. Only Wu Yunzhao broke out and his whereabouts are unknown.

Yang Guang's death also announced that the Sui Kingdom would inevitably split, and the Qin army would quickly occupy the two states of Lianghai and then leave the Central Plains eastward.

“Am I really destined to die from heaven?”

Cao Cao cried out in despair. After he pulled the Demon Sect into the water, he finally made up some of the gap with the Qin army. As a result, the Sui Kingdom was defeated and the gap between the two sides widened again.

This made Cao Cao feel like he was repairing a broken ship that was destined to sink. No matter how fast he repaired it, Da Qin's shipbuilding speed was always faster than him.

Seeing that his lord was wavering again, Fan Li pondered for a while and then said: "My lord, the situation in the northwest and western regions is extremely complicated. Even if the Qin army can quickly capture the two states, it may be difficult to get out in the short term."

Hearing Fan Li's words, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with hope, and he asked eagerly: "What do you mean by this?"

“My lord, there are still Qiang people in Haizhou, and there are warlords from the Western Regions in Liangzhou, and the remnants of the Sui army are watching.

Since Da Qin occupied the two states of Lianghai, it would never give them away easily. In order to deter these forces, it must deploy heavy troops to stay behind.

Although the Qin army had a great victory over the Sui, Tuqiang and Tuqiang coalition forces this time, judging from its weak performance in the mid-term and even being at a disadvantage, the Qin army's casualties were probably not small.

According to Li's point of view, even if the Qin army in Guanxi marches eastward into the Central Plains, their number will not exceed 70,000. "

I have to say that Fan Li is indeed the top strategist in the world. He guessed the situation of the Qin army through just these details. However, the size of the Wei state was too small to give full play to his wisdom.

 Cao Cao nodded after hearing Fan Li's words, but after hearing the number 70,000, he couldn't help but show a bitter look on his face. After all, that was the 70,000-strong Kansai Qin army that had experienced hundreds of battles.

Although the number of new troops expanded by the Three Kingdoms Alliance reached nearly 200,000, they were definitely not as good as the 70,000 Kansai Qin Army. Therefore, the gap with the Qin Army was still widened.

 “Seventy thousand is better than three hundred thousand.”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, while Fan Li said in a deep voice: "My lord, send envoys to Shu immediately to put pressure on Liu Yu. Maybe the Shu army can help us stop more Qin troops in Hanzhong."

"But the Shu army suffered a disastrous defeat a year ago and lost several counties in Hanzhong and southern Shu. Now it is the limit to send troops to the sword pavilion to contain the Yongliang Qin army. How can there be any remaining strength?"

“My Lord, only the Kingdom of Shu can help now. What’s more, although the war has not reached the Kingdom of Shu, it does not mean that the Kingdom of Shu can survive alone.

In order to resist Qin, the three countries of the Central Plains have done everything they can. The Shu Kingdom is also a member of the anti-Qin alliance. Now it is time to fight for the great cause of resisting Qin. "

　　"I will write a letter in my own hand and pass it to Liu Yu, stating my interests to him."

Just when Cao Cao, Fan Li and his ministers were trying their best to resist Qin, the cruel reality gave them a heavy blow.

 “Report...to report to the king that Puyang City was captured by the Qin army.”

"What?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao and Fan Li screamed at the same time, with disbelief in their eyes.

Only ten days have passed since Bai Qi stormed Puyang. Three days ago, they received a letter from Le Yi, saying that there was no risk of Puyang City being breached within a month. How come it was breached now?

 “Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Cao Cao found it difficult to accept this fact, and shouted with some collapse: "Le Yi has 45,000 defenders in Puyang, while Bai Qi's offensive force is less than 80,000. With Le Yi's ability to lead the troops and How could Puyang City's defense not last even half a month?

Moreover, there are still rebels in Dongjun. Before the rebels are completely wiped out, Bai Qi cannot concentrate his forces on Le Yi. How can he conquer Puyang in just ten days?

 Therefore, Puyang must not be captured. This must be Bai Qi's strategy. "

I have to say that Cao Cao’s analysis still makes sense.

With the defensive power of Puyang City and the rebels outside, it is indeed unlikely that it would be able to defend it for ten days, but the spies of the Wei army would not even get such low-level information wrong, so this matter is basically not possible. Too likely to be false.

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to be possessed by a demon and kept saying "impossible", Fan Li quickly said: "Lord, calm down."

 “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible…”

Snapped…

Fan Li slapped Cao Cao, which blinded him, but also woke him up from his demonic barrier.

Cao Cao did not blame Fan Li for being offended, but instead asked anxiously: "Commander, if Puyang City is really captured, Bai Qi will be able to send our army straight to the rear."

“Lord, don’t worry, it’s not irreversible yet. If Puyang City alone is destroyed, our army can still..."

Before Fan Li finished speaking, another soldier broke in, relying on you to report anxiously: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Xuchang City has been captured by the Qin army."

 “Pfft…”

Cao Cao could no longer withstand the blow, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Let me explain to you why I stopped updating for so many days. This should be the longest time the author has stopped updating since he wrote the book.

The author has said before that there must be reasons for long-term interruption without reason, and this time is no exception.

The reason why I haven’t explained it before is mainly because my mentality collapsed during that period, so I completely gave up and didn’t want to deal with anything, and I didn’t dare to open the book review area. But now that the problem has been solved, I want to talk to everyone.

I took leave that Saturday due to a muscle strain. As a result, my grandma was sick and hospitalized on Sunday. Her condition was very dangerous and she couldn’t move half of her body. The doctor even said that she might need a craniotomy.

After the examination, I found that my grandma’s condition was similar to that of my mother. She also had a cerebral infarction caused by high blood pressure, but the condition was much more serious than that of my mother.

After that, I took turns staying with my boss and grandma in the hospital. My grandma was discharged from the hospital on the 27th after being hospitalized for more than half a month.

It doesn’t matter if you get sick, just get treatment. The reason why my mentality is broken is mainly because I have been too tired this year and bad things have happened one after another.

As everyone knows, my mother suffered from a mild cerebral infarction in May. At that time, in order to accompany my mother to see a doctor, she took a lot of leave and even changed jobs.

In August, my aunt was hospitalized for liver disease, and she ran around a lot during that time. I took her home after she was discharged.

As a result, grandma had another cerebral infarction in September.

I don’t even know what to say. Even people with a good attitude can’t stand such a torment.

Fortunately, the boss didn’t say anything and approved the leave very considerately. The author didn’t have to change his job just after the internship period.

That’s about it. I hope nothing happens again in the next two months. I also wish everyone good health and family reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
