Chapter 317 General Zhengbei scolded Hu Zhi
When he heard Ma Su introduce himself to his family, Hu Zhi subconsciously wanted to say something polite. But then he reacted quickly, his eyes widening.
Ma Su? The one whose posthumous name will be completely stained by you just by talking to him?
"Fuck me!"
Hu Zhi trembled for a moment, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he immediately turned around and left. As he walked, he shouted outside the city,
"Wait a minute, my name is not Hu Zhi, my name is... my name is Wang Jing! If you have anything to say, just come to Wang Jing!"
All the scholars in Cao Wei knew that Zhuge Liang was not the most difficult person to confront Xi Shu. Although Zhuge Liang is full of martial virtue and cunning, he is still a Confucian at heart and has a bottom line in doing things.
The real difficulty is Ma Su. This bastard's mouth is the real murder weapon. If you are unlucky enough to start a conversation with Ma Su, only Mr. Taishan Mansion can save you.
To put it clearly, go find him...
Hu Zhi was quick to respond, but before he could walk down the city, he heard the sound of horse racing outside resounding through the sky.
"Why are you leaving, Senior Hu? Student Ma Di lives in Yicheng and has heard of your deeds for a long time."
"When you were young, you were famous among Huaisi and Jiang Ji, and you were recruited as an official by the Han court. Everyone in the governor's office heard about you, and they all said that you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."
"Even when I was in Yicheng, I heard about your name at that time. My brother often said that this is a famous person from the Jianghuai River and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He admires him very much."
"As a result, I heard in Chengdu a few years ago that your fellow countryman Jiang Ji was favored by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and held a high position. Not only did he not be prepared for danger in times of peace and think about the people of the world, but he collaborated with Cao Pi and his like. And you even participated in the plot to murder the emperor. , usurping the throne of the Han Dynasty is a matter of ridicule for the heroes of the world!
"You used to be Han ministers who couldn't think about the country. Now you are collaborating with the thieves and have become sycophant ministers. You can only act like cowards. How dare you talk arrogantly about the destiny of heaven in front of my army?"
"Old thief with a white beard! You are about to die today. Let's see how shameless you are to meet me, the Twenty-Fourth Emperor of the Han Dynasty! You old man, get out of here! You can ask other rebels to come up and fight me to the death!"
Ma Di spoke very fast, directly shaking out all the dirty things recorded by Hu Zhi in the history books. Later, Ma Di also used his talents to adapt some things.
In the end, Ma Di scolded Hu Zhi with the words the prime minister scolded Wang Lang in the novel.
It was impossible for Hu Zhi to surrender. He was a die-hard supporter of Cao Wei and even participated in persuading him to advance. So Ma Su didn't give him any face at all, and just cursed him.
At this time, Hu Zhi had just walked to the steps of the city tower and was almost stunned when he heard Ma Su talking so nonsense. Although he knew that Ma Su had a strong tongue, such slander still made Hu Zhi angry.
Especially the last paragraph was so unpleasant that Hu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore.
An angry Hu Zhi turned around and wanted to go back and argue with Ma Su, but he suddenly missed the point. His whole body tilted, and Hu Zhi rolled down the tower before the guards could react!
"Hu Cishi!"
"Ming Junqi fainted! Get someone quickly!"
"Call Doctor Chuan! Hu Cishi suffered a bruise on his head!"
It wasn't until Hu Zhi rolled to the bottom of the city and knocked his head on the corner that a group of soldiers came down in a hurry. Then a group of people discovered that Mr. Hu had a hole in his head. They were shocked and frightened, and they helped Hu Zhi to seek medical treatment.
"Ah? I won't really scold Hu Zhi to death, will I?" Ma Su was a little confused. He only heard a commotion in the city, and then someone started shouting, "President Hu is angry to death" or something.
Is this scolding so harsh? I feel like I'm being lenient...
"Forget it, never mind, attack the city now!" Ma Su waved his hand fiercely and ordered all troops to attack the city.
More than 10,000 Han troops quickly surrounded Xinye, and under Ma Su's order, they stormed the city.
Because Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, was so angry that he rolled off the top of the city and was seriously injured and fell into coma. Jingzhou Biejia had to take over the responsibility and command the troops whose morale was hit to defend the city.
Ma Su crossed several counties and rushed quickly to attack the city. At this marching speed, there was no time for the new siege equipment to be transported up, so flying ladders and long ladders could only be used to attack the city.
Normally, it would be difficult to capture a fortified city with this small force. However, the Han army's surprise attack and Hu Zhi's serious injury greatly reduced the Wei army's will to resist.
Coupled with the high morale of the Han army, they all moved forward desperately under Ma Di's command. The two sides fought under the city from dawn to midnight. In the end, the Han army was slightly better and occupied the head of Xinye City before dawn the next day!
Xinye is a small city and there will be no inner city. When the Han army captured the city, the Wei army was quickly defeated. They left Jingzhou, and the county magistrate, under the protection of his personal guards, fled out of the east gate with Hu Zhi under his protection.
The Han army captured Xinye, basically blocking Xiangfan's ability to quickly return to Nanyang to aid. In addition, Ma Su also obtained grain and fodder from Cao Wei stationed in Xinye, which was enough for the Han army to station.
At this time, the follow-up troops of the Han army had already divided into two groups according to Ma Su's arrangement. Part of the troops, led by Zhang Yi and Zhang He, marched northward to surprise Wancheng.
The other road was led by Wang Ping and others, who followed Ma Di and settled in Xinye.
Wancheng and Xinye are two extremely important cities in the Nanyang Basin. The former is the first strong city in the north of Nanyang, protecting the safety of Wuguandao, and the latter is the logistics stronghold of Cao Wei's Xiangfan defense line.
Only by capturing these two places can we successfully occupy the northern part of Nanyang.
However, Ma Su's side relied on surprise attacks and scolding Hu Zhi to successfully capture Xinye. But Zhang Yi was not very lucky, so he quickly sent a letter to Ma Di reporting the situation.
"General, General Zhang and the governor went north to Wancheng and found that the defenders of Wancheng were prepared for some reason. Not only did they move the people into the city in advance, but they also burned down all the grass and wood houses outside the city."
"Now the two generals have surrounded Wancheng and are preparing to storm the city."
"How is that possible?" Ma Su was slightly startled. The Han army unexpectedly attacked Nanyang, and Wancheng was actually prepared in advance.
Could it be that there is a mole... It's impossible, otherwise Xinye's side would never be defenseless at all.
That's what you guessed?
Ma Su suddenly thought that Wancheng was not far from Wuguan. If Sima Yi had guessed it in advance... it seemed that it was indeed possible to notify him in advance.
"It's a pity that we couldn't capture Wancheng quickly. The situation will be troublesome next." Ma Su touched his chin and his mind started to work quickly.
"If Wancheng has gotten the news, then Luoyang has basically gotten the news. It is estimated that Cao Wei's reinforcements are on the way now and will arrive soon."
"Looks like I have to head north as soon as possible."
