Chapter 600 Shock in Kanto
When Liu Yin arrived with a large force, the main force of the Wei army had completely collapsed. A large number of soldiers trampled on each other in the chaos, causing heavy casualties.
Because Ma Su had few troops, he did not dare to stop and recruit surrender troops.
Fortunately, Liu Yin arrived and led his troops to capture Wei's soldiers, ending this chaotic farce. In this battle, the Wei army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and nearly 10,000 others fled and disappeared.
When the Han army was counted after the war, a total of 20,000 Wei soldiers were captured, including a total of 17 generals ranging from school officials to senior officials.
Among them was an old friend, Fei Yao.
The only one who made Ma Di regretful was Situ Gaorou of Cao Wei. This was a big fish, but because Fei Yao sent him away under house arrest in advance, he avoided being captured by chance.
After counting the prisoners of war, Fei Yao was escorted by Han soldiers to meet Ma Su. When he saw his old rival Fei Yao appear in front of him with a disgraced face, Ma Di raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't this General Fei? Have you finally come to my place to take a look?"
Faced with Ma Su's secret ridicule, Fei Yao snorted. Then he spoke again and defeated Ma Su in just one sentence.
"If I don't come, you will have to work hard to find me, so I have to come."
Ma Su: "..."
Is this spineless thing in the audience really Fei Yao who has been fighting with me for many years? I've been fighting with this thing for so long, and I didn't catch it until now?
I lost!
…………

Fei Yao surrendered, and Cao Wei's 60,000-strong army was almost wiped out.
Subsequently, Ma Di led Liu Yin to Chenggao and quickly defeated the Yanzhou army stationed here. From then on, there were no more soldiers from Cao Wei east of Xingyang.
And further ahead is the most fertile Central Plains in the world!
How to describe the Central Plains?
With vast plains, fertile land and abundant water, it is the best place to nurture a farming civilization. This fertile North China Plain gave birth to millions of people in the Han Dynasty and supported the most powerful feudal dynasty in the world.
But there is a fatal weakness here, that is, there is no danger. Not only that, the North China Plain belongs to the land of the Four Wars, and the thousands-mile Great Plains squeezed the Central Plains forces to death little by little.
The so-called golden horn and silver-edged grass belly is worth this place.
This place is rich, but there is no danger to defend it. The only person who has been able to escape from here for so many years is Cao Cao. Therefore, even Cao Wei's position in the Central Plains has never been a battlefield.
But now, Ji Han started from the southwest, captured the Golden Horn one after another, and hit the grass belly.
As for Cao Wei, Yinbian Youzhou is still incomplete, and his troops have suffered heavy losses.
This also means that the Central Plains in front of them has completely become a piece of fat exposed to the front of the Han army.
It is rich but has no danger to defend. It has a large population but poor military strength. This is simply the most ideal fatty meat, one that makes you worry about taking a bite!
No one can resist such a temptation, and Ma Su is obviously no exception. Not long after resting in Chenggao, Ma Di personally led 10,000 Han troops to Xingyang.
However, when Ma Di's troops came to Xingyang City, the defenders at the top of the city showed no resistance and surrendered without saying a word.
Not only that, the big and small wealthy families in the city had prepared money, food, and food in advance to welcome the king's master. This Guandong granary surrendered to Ji Han effortlessly.
At the same time, Ma Su also received countless letters of surrender from Guandong, as if as long as he gave the order, there would be chaos in Guandong.
At the same time, the entire Cao Wei Dynasty was shocked again. However, this time the shock was slightly different. This time it was an all-round sensation from top to bottom in Cao Wei.
When Tian Yu led troops to Luoyang's aid, he brought with him all the main forces that Hebei could mobilize. At Jiang Ji's request, Yanzhou did not hesitate to give up suppressing the refugee army, but also mobilized troops to support it.
As a result, almost all of this batch of soldiers and horses were lost on the Chenggao front line. Not only did it not help the situation in Luoyang, but it actually helped Ma Su gain a new reputation.
At least, for now, the Cao Wei court can no longer mobilize troops from Hebei to support the Central Plains. As for Yanzhou, because of its empty military strength, war was already raging.
The entire Central Plains was in chaos at this moment, and officials and wealthy families from all over the country began to look around. By the time Cao Rui received the battle report, many places in Yan and Henan had already disobeyed Cao Wei's orders.
And this time the battle report gave the weak Cao Rui the most fatal blow.
When he heard that Ma Su had defeated Yao Tianyu at Hulao Pass and that the army had already reached Xingyang, his face turned pale. After his face turned blue and white for a while, he suddenly covered his chest and spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"God bless Wei!" After shouting this sentence with difficulty and despair, Cao Rui fell to the ground! The entire Cao Wei court was in chaos. Seeing that the emperor was in danger, all the officials panicked.
Finally, Cao Rui, the guard of the close ministers, returned to the palace. Under the rescue of the imperial doctor, Cao Rui barely regained consciousness.
But after regaining consciousness, Cao Rui still collapsed, and he cried loudly regardless of his image. Under the bewildered gaze of the imperial doctor and his ministers, he cried for a long time and said,
"Am I going to be the king of a subjugated country? What's the point of my life?"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Rui vomited several liters of blood again and fainted again!
This time, he might really not be able to hold on anymore...
Besides him, the Wei troops who were besieging Luoyang also heard about this. For a time, all Wei armies heard the news and quickly mobilized troops to return reinforcements in an attempt to protect the Central Plains.
A great chaos is about to take place in the Central Plains.

Ma Su didn't know that before his achievement was sent back to Chang'an, Cao Wei was already frightening an emperor to death. At this moment, he was still shocked by the size of Xingyang's treasury.
Xingyang has been a huge granary of the imperial court in the Central Plains since the Qin Dynasty. This place serves as the logistics center of the Central Plains, and the money and grain handed over to the court every year will be stored and transferred here.
Now, Ma Su took it down and was also shocked by the rich inventory here.
The inventory here is larger than that in Hanoi, and there are mountains of money and food. Just a rough calculation shows that the food stored in Xingyang alone is enough to support the consumption of tens of thousands of troops for more than a year!
This city can surpass all the output of Guanzhong...
"I thought Hanoi was already rich, but today I really have a concrete concept of the wealth of Guandong." After being surprised, Ma Di couldn't help but sigh.
If Yizhou and Guandong were as rich as Yizhou and Guandong, the prime minister wouldn't have to worry about money and food.
At this time, Liu Yin walked in and sent a letter to Ma Su.
"General, Cao Wei's Yanzhou Mu sent people to express his intention to bring the entire Yanzhou to surrender to the Han Dynasty!"
