Chapter 89 Li Yan’s plan
Both King Hao Zhao and King Hao died outside Chencang City, which meant that the Shu army had completely captured this place.
The next day, Li Yan dispatched Deng Tong, Zhang Xiu, Jiang Wei and others to divide their troops to pursue the Wei army west of Lishui. The Shu army pushed all the way from west to east along the Chencang Road. The last two thousand Wei troops were defeated and driven all the way to Lianshui.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Wei Jun had no preparation at all. By the time Guo Huai noticed something was wrong, the Shu army had already occupied the west of Lishui.
Guo Huai rushed there with his troops, but he only saw Shu troops everywhere on the other side of the river. And he heard a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue from the Wei army who survived.
Chencang was lost, and the two generals, Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, were missing and were feared to have been killed.
The news was like a bomb, causing an uproar.
Chencang, the most important military town on the western front of the Wei Dynasty was lost. From then on, the Wei army had only Lianshui to face the Shu army, and there was no danger to defend further east.
Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao, what on earth did you do? Why did something happen suddenly?
Didn’t you say that it’s just Ma Su, and Chen Cang will be worry-free as long as he kills him? How come he and Chen Cang were lost before Ma Su was killed?
While Guo Huai was mentally cursing Hao Zhao for being unreliable, he immediately sent a battle report to Cao Zhen and asked Cao Zhen to be responsible for the decision.
Such a major matter is no longer something Guo Huai can solve, and the entire Yongzhou war has been ruined. The Shu army was close at hand and he was extremely short of troops. If Cao Zhen arrived late, he would probably lose Yong County.
While Guo Huai was on full alert, the Shu army was consolidating its victory.
Chencang City is an important transportation center in the northwest and is very important to both Wei and Shu. Taking this place basically means that the Shu army will no longer have to be stuck when leaving Sichuan.
There are a total of four roads out of Sichuan, two of which are already firmly in the hands of the Shu army.
In order to stabilize Chencang Road, the Shu army quickly began to repair the city and build camps here, doing the same work as Hao Zhao.
If the Shu Han's control over Longyou was still unstable before, now it can be considered that it has completely tightened its grip on this important town in the northwest.
Li Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, was very satisfied with this, because Chencang City was captured under his command. Although this result is not as good as Zhuge Liang's capture of Longyou, it is definitely an unparalleled victory.
By the time this battle report was submitted, Li Yan had already envisioned a scene where his reputation would be greatly shaken.
This was the first time Li Yan felt this joyful feeling since the death of the late emperor.
But the only thing that made Li Yan a little dissatisfied was Hao Zhao's last words.
What is Ma Su's plan? It was clearly planned by me, Li Yan! If I hadn't taken the narrow road of Chencang to attack Chencang, if I hadn't mobilized an army of 20,000 to besiege him, you, Ma Su, would have been able to fight guerrillas.
No matter what level you are, you dare to touch me, Li Yan.
Even Li Yan didn't like Ma Su... No, he had never liked Ma Su. But now because of this nonsense, Li Yan dislikes Ma Su even more.
There is no reason, just that he is a direct descendant of Zhuge Villager is enough.
This guy is also an eyesore and should be dealt with.
Ma Su, who was not liked by Li Yan at this time, was being rescued with all his strength.
The person who rescued him was none other than Hua Fei, who came with the large army.
"Doctor Chuan, how are you doing, General?"
After Hua Fei rescued him and walked out of the room, he happened to see the yard crowded with people, all waiting eagerly for Ma Su's situation. Shuji stepped forward and asked nervously.
"You are so lucky. If I hadn't followed the governor here, the county guard would have been responsible for this." Hua Fei got angry when he mentioned this and pointed at them.
"How did you protect the governor? How could a dignified governor be so seriously injured by a sneak attack?"
"He was already weak. Do you know that the Sheriff would have died if he had been later!"
Hua Fei was very dissatisfied with this. These big-head soldiers were really bad at protecting people.
Fortunately, he arrived in time and successfully rescued the county guard. The county guard had to thank me very much.
It's a pity that Taishou Ma is too frugal, and I'm too embarrassed to ask him to treat me to dinner. Let's talk about it later.
"Yi Huachuan, thank you so much!" Shu Ji blushed, feeling ashamed but still insisted on thanking him.
"If it weren't for you, something might have happened to the general!"
"When the time comes, I won't have the shame to continue living!"
"Okay, there's nothing you can do. Just hold the county guard in check." Hua Fei sighed and waved his hands gently.
"Fu Jun is no longer in serious trouble now, just take care of yourself slowly. But please don't let Fu Jun move around these days, just take good care of yourself."
"Okay!" Shu Ji nodded repeatedly and quickly saluted and thanked Hua Fei.
Nearly a hundred people behind him were also presentable, and they all saluted and thanked Hua Fei.
Without this miracle doctor, their great mighty general would have died here.
Fortunately, the general is fine.
Ma Su was fine, and the soldiers under Ma Su and Wang Pingping all breathed a sigh of relief. Then the morale of the army was settled, and everyone from top to bottom became happy.
After so many years and fighting with the late emperor for so long, there has rarely been such a great victory. Now that the Wei army was finally defeated, the morale of the Han army was high for a while.
After several days, Ma Su slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes and saw the wooden roof, Ma Su was no longer surprised.
"As I expected, he's still alive." Ma Su looked around to confirm that he was indeed not dead.
The injury on his chest has improved, which means someone has helped him. If I guessed correctly, Chencang has been captured now.
There was no way, it was like this every time, and Ma Su was already a little numb.
Is this Tiandao so stingy? He will not let him die just for that little bit of insurance...
When Ma Su sat up from the bed with difficulty, he happened to see Hua Fei walk in. When he saw Ma Su wake up and sit up, he was shocked and immediately stepped forward to support Ma Su.
"Fu Jun, your injury is not healed yet, and you still have to recuperate well before you can get up."
"Hua Fei?" Ma Su raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt relieved.
Hua Fei has appeared here, so he probably won't die.
"Why are you here? Didn't I remember asking you to stay with Li Mu in Longxi County?"
"General Wang Ping wrote to us asking for help. Li Juncheng thought it was just in case, so he asked me to come." Hua Fei helped Ma Su lie down again and said honestly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Now Chencang has been captured by the Han army, and Wei general Hao Zhao has been executed."
"Oh, I understand." Ma Su was not surprised and nodded lightly.
This attitude made Hua Fei admire him. Look, this is a great leader. Being able to be so calm during such a huge victory is truly a gentleman!
"Who is in charge of Chen Cang now? Wang Ping, Wei Yan? Yang Yi?"
"No, it's Governor Li."
"Li Yan?" Ma Su was shocked.
"He came to Chencang?"
