The war in many people's dreams is that thousands of troops are arranged into neat battle formations, and then push forward like a wall. The bodies of the iron-blooded soldiers are intertwined, holding spears and swords in their hands and fighting each other without fear of death, and weaving them into a magnificent epic with blood.

But in fact, the famous conqueror Alexander the Great in history, fought in the ten years of the Eastern Expedition, and fought with real passionate battles, which took less than a month. Most of the remaining time was long and miserable marches. The marches were so painful that on the way to the Indian conquest, the Macedonian infantry who regarded Alexander as a god launched a mutiny. After being forced to return to Babylon, subordinates who were unwilling to embark on the journey again were likely to poison this generation of sergeant geniuses, and the possibility of ancient Greece confrontation with Qin was nipped in the bud.

Now Wang Hou is also marching in suffering.

With superior forces, Sima Yi's strategy for fighting was particularly strange. With an army of 400,000, he did not choose to assemble a large army in Tongguan to compete with Wang Hou for the throat of Guanzhong, or to face Wang Hou's second-row army in Banpu, and he even retreated all the way.

Wang Hou marched along the Yellow River. The richest banks of the Sili River really completely implemented the scorched earth policy. All the people were moved away, the food was transported away, and the things that could not be taken away were burned on the spot. The unharvested wheat fields were burned black, and the villages and towns were covered with black smoke. Wherever they passed, it was like hell.

This scene made the Western Wei army, which had been excited and sworn out of the pass to fight for the world, unable to help but feel tired and lazy, and Wang Hou, who had originally planned to replenish supplies on the spot and collect food, failed.

Not only the countryside, Huxian County, Hongnong, Dayang, Xin'an, and even Yuncheng, the important towns that the Northern Army encountered, were abandoned in the former Warring States Period, and the old capital of the Wei Dynasty, the young and strong men were moved away, leaving only tens of thousands of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the city.

But I have to admit that this trick is really disgusting to Wang Hou. The old, weak, sick and disabled are useless in war, but can you really watch tens of thousands of people starve to death? Wang Hou is not a complex of angels and demons like Zhang Xun. In order to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he even allowed his subordinates to eat up people. He guarded the city for more than a year and ate all the 30,000 people in the city. He had no choice but to order him to supply 250,000 unprecedentedly spectacular troops. From the supply line that was already extremely nervous, a batch of food was taken away and placed in Hongnong and Hedong counties occupied along the way to support the local people.

"Daxingtai, we are in front of Gu County, but there are no defenders in Gu County, and there are only a group of old and weak left. They have opened the city gate and surrendered to our army!"

Another burnt village, the young lieutenant Zhuge Xin knelt on one knee as anxiously as burnt wood, reporting loudly.

Gu County is extraordinary. During the Warring States Period, there was also this famous name, Hangu Pass! This is not only the starting base for the Qin people to expedition the six kingdoms in the east, but also the last barrier for the Eastern Han Dynasty Luoyang to Guanxi.

This was a great help from Cao Pi when he was reigned, and it was also an internal fight between the Kanto gentry, which originated from the bad waters of Wang Hou.

In order to consume the power of Guanxi, when Wang Hou built Chang'an City, Cao Cao ordered him to repair Luoyang together. Wang Hou refused to suffer a loss, so he raised the price of real estate and repaired the Gui's house in Luoyang, forcing the Guandong gentry, who did not want to live in a very ugly and cement house, spent a lot of money to buy land, and then sold it to them at a high price to build Han-style gardens.

Sima Yi and other major families from Central Plains came from. After the old Han gentry in the Yiluo Valley were valued, they naturally did not want to spend a lot of money to buy the land and houses they built were empty. They went to Yecheng, the territory of the Hebei gentry, to become an official and rely on others. Therefore, the two gentry had a series of internal games. Under political pressure, in order to strengthen and stabilize the cement walls of Luoyang and establish the capital of Luoyang, which better demonstrated the legitimacy of Cao Wei. Cao Pi gave up Yecheng and Hebei, which was strategically far away, moved 150,000 households, and moved the capital to Luoyang, which was closer to Wang Hou.

Sima Yi, the capital city, shouldn't be thrown away! Okay, aren't you throwing the ground all the way to get away from my supply line? I will follow you to the east and poke your nest Luoyang straight!

Made of the grassland, shiny black cow leather boots were slapped on the edge of the well. Looking at the cruel floating corpses of polluted water sources in the well, Wang Hou couldn't help but smile particularly fiercely. He didn't turn his eyes and waved his slap.

"Send the mountain forest team to pass through Hangu Pass first, confirming that there are no ambush from the Eastern thieves. Then General Zhao Yun, the former army, led 10,000 cavalry to encircle Luoyang first!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

With a promise, Zhuge Xin stood up as if he had been charged, rushed out of the village quickly. Finally, he looked at the well with the corpse floating. Then Wang Hou himself turned over and flew into the vast army. Afterwards, more than a dozen personal soldiers quickly got soil, filled it into the well, and buried the well completely.

............

Sima Yi of Luoyang did not lose his life, but he also had the newly succeeded Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, even civil and military officials, noble ministers, and tiger and leopard cavalry. The more than 100,000 troops guarding Luoyang were all gone! In the name of sacrificing ancestral tombs, he returned north to Yecheng fourteen days ago, leaving only the Left servant of Shangshu Chen Tai, who was in charge of the army, and stayed in Luoyang.

This news was actually from the old clan Cao Hong. In the past, Cao Hong had secretly supported Cao Zhi, and when Wang Hou entered Ye City, he acted as the two ends of the rat. So after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he was immediately in trouble. He was accused of killing people, implicating his family, losing all his official positions and going to prison. If it weren't for the rescue of the royal generals such as Cao Chun and Xiahou Ba, the body might have been cold now.

Cao Hong, who was dismissed from his post at home without power or power, naturally did not expect Sima Yi when he ran away, but after all, he was an old general and there were still some information channels. He personally brought the news to Wang Hou's central army under Luoyang City and on the Yishui River.

"What is Sima Yi going to do? Is life so hard? I don't want it anymore?"

Looking at the huge cowhide map, and looking at Cao Hong's picture that was obviously much older, with no might and wrinkled face like an old orange peel, even Wang Hou couldn't help but become anxious.

However, listening to the information he brought, he pinched his chin and thought for a moment. The Grand Marshal Jia Xu, who was following the army, suddenly pinched the three treacherous mustaches on his chin and nodded heavily.

"What a great Sima Yi, I've played a big game of chess in the world!"

"Daxingtai, when Sima Zhongda took office as the Grand Sima and was in charge of the progress of all officials, he immediately transferred Xiahou Ba, the captain of the Jiuyuan Huns, to Luoyang, and promoted him to Lieutenant General, and succeeded him as Sima Yiqiang!"

"Now it seems that Sima Zhongda is going to lose the East corner, take it into Sangyu, and plot to transform into the city!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Hou's eyes immediately condensed!
Chapter completed!
