Chapter 355 His power shocks China
After Ma Su flooded the three armies and cursed Jia Kui to death, there was basically no suspense for the rest of the battle.
Originally, the Wei army was frightened by Ma Su, but now it was washed away by the torrent, and the command system basically collapsed. The few generals who were lucky enough to survive did not dare to gather their troops, so they all fled through the road with a few soldiers.
The Wei army, which lacked command and was defeated, was then pursued by Jufu's troops and was quickly defeated. Afterwards, Jufu led his troops to punt the boats, and marched by land and water along the river bank to continuously pursue and kill the defeated soldiers who were lucky enough to survive.
In fact, the lethality of torrents is not as strong as imagined, and its risk factor is much lower than that of mudslides. His greatest effect was to overwhelm the Wei army's formation and destroy its command system.
Countless soldiers survived the torrent, and were later captured by the Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. No one could resist the whole process. Basically, as long as they came ashore, they would be caught and tied up and left.
While Jufu captured the defeated Wei army, he also sent people down the river to search for Ma Di's traces. Soon the Han soldiers found Ma Su, his 1,000 remnants and 3,000 prisoners in the center of the river, which was gradually slowing down.
Since then, Ma Su's side has basically been out of danger, and the three-month-long Battle of Runan has ended.
Wang Ling had 30,000 troops, and Jia Kui led 40,000 troops. A total of about 70,000 troops came to Runan to compete with Ma Di. He used more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to mobilize and contain the Wei army, sapping the morale of the Wei army. He fought on the move for three months. In the end, the three armies were flooded and almost completely annihilated the Wei army.
Seventy thousand Wei troops were defeated by Ma Di!
The news quickly spread from Runan, and then spread like crazy. All the Wei troops still fighting in Huainan, from soldiers to generals, were all frightened and frightened by Ma Su's power.
For more than ten years, as long as the name of Ma Su was heard, children in the Central Plains did not dare to cry, people in Wei did not dare to make trouble, and even Zhang Liao was commonly known as "Little Ma Su".
Therefore, he is said to be powerful in China!
However, when word of this record reached Dingling Shouchun, it at best caused a certain amount of panic. All Wei armies gathered their forces, stopped attacking and turned to defense to wait and see.
But when the news reached the capital of Cao Wei, it quickly caused a major earthquake in Luoyang.
After Cao Rui heard the news, he closed his eyes and fainted in the court. After everyone hurriedly called the doctor and tried their best to wake up His Majesty, they took a look at the battle report and fainted again.
There was no way, even Cao Rui couldn't accept this loss.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses have been deployed in the southeastern battle, and all the capable old leaders in Kanto have been sent to the front line. Cao Rui sent his imperial commander to personally conquer the area and sent the entire Central Plains force to Nanyang to attack Ma Su.
The result was that Wang Ling and Jia Kui died for their country, the entire 70,000-strong army was annihilated, and he shocked China!
Who can accept this? Even if Cao Cao came by himself, he would have a headache and faint.
But this time, it was not Cao Rui who was panicked, but all the civil and military officials in the court were panicked. Before Cao Rui woke up, the officials were already arguing about what to do next.
Ma Di flooded the three armies and relieved the Wei army's logistics burden of 70,000 people in one fell swoop. All of a sudden, the strength of the Huainan defense line was greatly reduced, and the entire battle situation was completely corrupted.
Apart from anything else, even Sun Quan's team's morale has been greatly improved now, and they fought back and forth with Wang Ji in Hefei.
Now it's no longer a problem in Nanyang, they can't even protect Yingchuan. Even if Ma Su fights smoothly, he is very likely to go up the river, all the way from Kunyang into the Luoyang Basin!
Even the capital is no longer safe!
Only when their own interests are really harmed will the representatives of this group of aristocratic families panic.
"We must send more troops to Yingchuan immediately! There must be no loss in Huainan!"
"There are no more troops to mobilize. All the elites from the Central Plains have fallen on Huainan!"
"From Jizhou, from Youzhou! All the available troops and horses in Guandong will be transferred there!"
"Yes, if Yingchuan is lost, Luoyang will not be safe! If this continues, we will be beaten by Xishu and forced to move the capital!"
"Stop arguing!" At this time, Cao Rui finally woke up. His face was sickly pale due to the huge change, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Pass my decree! Order Qing Yan and Hebei to mobilize all remaining troops to rush to support the Huainan battlefield! All available troops in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, will be transferred south, and we will risk our lives to protect Yingchuan Qiaojun!"
"I ordered the escort army to prepare the Yulin Army, and coordinate the Northern and Southern armies. I want to lead the expedition in person and go to Xudu to supervise the battle!"
"Move quickly! If Yingchuan is lost, everyone will be responsible for it!"
At this moment, Cao Rui was like a gambler desperate to lose, collecting all his remaining chips. For the southern front, he even mobilized the key garrison in Jizhou southward.
In any case, Qiaojun and Yingchuan, the land of Longxing, must not be touched. This is the foundation for the imperial family and their Cao family to rule the Central Plains. If this is lost, Cao Wei will be in chaos!

Cao Rui seemed to be desperate for defeat, and basically destroyed all Cao Wei's power in the Central Plains. But in fact, he also issued an order to the Yingchuan garrison to stop the attack and quickly return to defend Yingchuan.
Runan can give up, and Nanyang doesn’t dare to think about it for the time being. All the forces in Huainan have withdrawn their front lines, and don't let Ma Di take advantage of the situation to make the Northern Expedition the first choice.
But in fact, even if Ma Su wanted to make the Northern Expedition, he no longer had the strength.
After the three armies were flooded, Ma Di led his troops to clear out the remaining defeated troops and led his troops back to Dingying. After the war, an inventory was carried out and it was found that our own headquarters had suffered the greatest losses, with most of the three thousand elites having been lost.
Especially after this battle, only two hundred of the five hundred veterans survived.
The losses of the rest of the troops were not small, and the whole army could not continue the attack. If the Wei army sent troops south at this time, Ma Su would definitely not have the strength to continue fighting.
But this is not important. At this moment, no one in the Wei army dares to go south to cause trouble for Ma Di.
At the same time, good news began to come in, and the problems that troubled Ma Su began to be solved.
"General, the Wei army who fought fiercely with General Wang in Kunyang has withdrawn to Dingling and has reduced its troops and dare not go out to fight."
"General, after hearing about the general's achievements, the garrison of Wancheng burned himself to death at the top of the city. His troops surrendered at Kaicheng, and Wancheng was captured!"
"General, the pseudo-Wei Fancheng defender abandoned the city after hearing that the general defeated the Wei army. General Wu led his troops south, successfully took over Fancheng, and joined forces with General Xiang to defeat Xiangyang!"
All the forces still resisting on the entire Nanyang battlefield were cowed by Ma Su's force. The two most difficult bones to crack in the Wancheng and Xiangfan defense lines surrendered without a fight, and the Han army basically regained the entire territory of Nanyang.
It can be called an unparalleled victory.
But at this moment, Ma Su still has a small problem.
How should he explain to the Prime Minister that he was involved in the situation so as not to get slapped?
