I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"Sir, what should we do next?" After laughing, Zhang Ba asked.

"Order the soldiers to bring enough dry food and water bags, and head east to Tongguan." Yi Ji said without hesitation.

"Promise." Zhang Ba promised, and immediately went down to deal with it.Soon after, Zhang Ba's army was fully prepared, leaving aside the baggage, and headed for Tongguan lightly.

Although Zhang Heng has been in Chang'an for a long time, Zhong Yao and Sima Yi still haven't completely relaxed their vigilance. Yiji and Zhang Ba's large-scale march cannot be concealed.

In Chang'an City, in the study of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, Zhong Yao is writing for entertainment. "Da da", suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and then Sima Yi rushed in.

"Zhongda, why are you so impatient?" Zhong Yao looked up and saw that it was Sima Yi, and teased.

"My lord is not well. Zhang Heng led his troops to the east, and his intention is unknown." Sima Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said.

"What?" Zhong Yao yelled when he heard the words, and dropped the pen in his hand on the case, staining Caihou paper black.

"Why is he going east? Couldn't it be possible to attack Tongguan?" After being astonished, Zhong Yao calmed down a little and asked.

"No, it will never be like this. You must know that there are [-] elite soldiers in Tongguan, plus the general Cao Hong. No matter how stupid Zhang Heng is, he will not want to attack Tongguan." Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yao shook his head again, overthrowing made his own guess.

"My lord, I am Zhang Heng, and that's what I intend to do." Sima Yi said with a wry smile.

Volume 208 Chapter 1669: Chapter 841 Unexpected Encounter (2)

"Why?" Zhong Yao was somewhat skeptical.

"A few months ago, Zhang Heng came to join us, and we received him sincerely. Zhang Heng was also very knowledgeable, and placed his family members and clan in the city. I thought it was a little too smooth at the time, but now Zhang Heng suddenly sent troops to the east. I'm afraid I want to join forces with Liu Feng and win Tongguan." Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

Following Sima Yi's analysis, Zhong Yao suddenly remembered the bits and pieces of a few months ago. At that time, he and Sima Yi were suspicious, but on the one hand, Zhang Heng behaved very well, and on the other hand, Zhang Heng has not been weird in the past few months. The action, so gradually forgotten.

Unexpectedly, now it is.

"Is he really so cruel that he wants to sacrifice the lives of dozens of members of his family and hundreds of members of the Zhang family? What did he gain by doing this?" Zhong Yao was stunned, completely stunned, and asked in disbelief .

"I'm afraid Liu Feng's offer is too high, making Zhang Heng willingly sacrifice his clan and family members." Sima Yi said with a wry smile.

"My lord, now is not the time to discuss these things. Send troops immediately to pursue Zhang Heng. This will prevent General Cao Hong from being attacked and affecting Tongguan." Immediately, Sima Yi said again.

"I really didn't expect that Zhang Heng would betray our country of Wei and defect to Liu Feng. However, if he wanted to attack from two sides and contribute to Tongguan, whether it was Zhang Heng or Liu Feng, it was a dream. The pass is tall, and there are [-] elite soldiers. The general is even more brave and good at fighting, if Tongguan can be breached so easily, it wouldn't be Tongguan." Zhong Yao said with a cold smile when he heard the words.

Sima Yi nodded in agreement when he heard the words, Tongguan is not so easy to be breached.

"Gather the troops, and the old man will personally lead the troops to pursue Zhang Heng." Not long after, Zhong Yao took a deep breath and gave the order.

"No." Sima Yi promised, and immediately went down to deliver the order.

Not long after, the gates of Chang'an were opened wide. Zhong Yao and Sima Yi, each wearing light armor, led [-] elite soldiers to pursue Zhang Heng.But at this moment, in Yiji, Zhang Ba had already led his troops twenty miles away, and was heading towards Tongguan in a hurry.

At the same time, Cao Hong led thousands of remnants to Chang'an.After a night and a half of running, the remnants of Cao's army were exhausted.

But none of them dared to let go, because they didn't know whether Liu Feng would lead his troops to chase them out.If it stops and is chased, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, everyone mustered their strength up and down, gritting their teeth and holding on.At the front of the team, Cao Hong rode his horse. He turned his head and glanced at the thousands of remnants behind him.Immediately, grief came from my heart, and I wanted to yell in pain a few times, saying that the sky is unfair.

Him, Cao Hong.The world-renowned fierce general, with [-] elite soldiers under his command, is brave and good at fighting, and can fight against any army in the world.Then sit in Tongguan, the second largest pass in the world.

But what about the end result?One night, one night did not finish guarding.Not to mention overnight, it was breached almost instantly.Thinking that before the war, he called Liu Feng one by one yellow-mouthed children, and laughed with all the generals, saying that Liu Feng would seek his own death, full of confidence.

Now what?The army was dilapidated. At that time, all the generals either died or surrendered, and the remaining ones who fled with him were only one out of ten.

Fail, fail miserably, why is this happening.

"The sky is not fair." Cao Hong yelled up to the sky, his eyes weeping blood.

"Liu Feng, when I make a comeback, you will be widowed." Cao Hong could no longer hold back his grief and anger, and shouted, vowing revenge.

At this moment, a soldier came out ahead. Unlike Cao Hong's remnant troops, this soldier was elite, with high morale and steady steps.

The character "Zhang" at the front is waving the flag in the wind with great momentum.This is Yiji, the army led by Zhang Ba, but the two sides met unexpectedly.

Cao Hong's expression changed.

Volume 208 Chapter 1670: Chapter 842 Doomed to die (1)

Chapter 842 Doomed to Die

On the plain, when two infantry armies meet, they meet on a narrow road, and the brave one wins.Because they are all pawns, there is no room for escape.

But the question is, do the soldiers behind Cao Hong look like brave men?The remnant soldiers were defeated and ran away for another night. They were simply disabled and weak.

How desperate is this?

Immediately, Cao Hong felt a burst of despair. If he had known this earlier, he would have fought Wei Yan to the death in Tongguan. It was better than finally breaking out and dying here.

Cao Hong was in despair, his generals were in despair, and his soldiers were in despair.Tongguan, Tongguan is steep, why did they end up like this.

Why.

If Cao Hong and others were desperate, then Yiji and Zhang Ba were in a different mood.Yi Ji and Zhang Ba were not mentally prepared for the unexpected encounter between the two parties.

After all, Chang'an is hundreds of miles away from Tongguan, and because of years of war, the surrounding area is desolate.They are all flat, and there is no specific path. As long as the two sides deviate a little, they will not meet.

The probability of this unexpected encounter is almost zero.But they happened to meet them.

"Major General, that is Cao's defeated army, and Cao Hong may be among them, and the time has come to make another contribution." Yi Ji was overjoyed and said to Zhang Ba.

Although Liu Feng promised Wanhuhou, the more credits, the better, and the more rewards, the better.Zhang Ba nodded fiercely when he heard the words, and ordered: "Rush over there and leave no one behind."

"Kill." The army under the tents of the princes in Guanzhong is a fierce army. No matter what the situation is, no matter what the situation is, they can fight. What's more, they are recharging their energy in Chang'an with Zhang Heng. For several months, both physical strength and energy were at their peak.

Therefore, following Zhang Ba's order, all the soldiers under Zhang Heng's tent roared wildly, and charged out with their spears.

Zhang Heng also wanted to rein in his horse and kill him, but was stopped by Yi Ji.

"Major General, war is dangerous. It is not suitable to be brave and fierce. Let the army attack and kill Cao Hong. The Major General reined in his horse and several hundred cavalry kept a close eye on those fleeing on horseback, so as to prevent Cao Hong from leaving."

Yi Ji said very solemnly.The vassals in Guanzhong all have cavalry. Zhang Heng's cavalry is small, but there are hundreds of them. One of them is to prepare for Cao Hong's escape. The key is to let Zhang Ba be careful.Now that he has won a complete victory, if Zhang Ba loses here and leads to defeat, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Okay." Hearing the words, Zhang Ba immediately remembered that Zhang Heng had told him to obey Yi Ji before he left, so he nodded and said.

Yiji's arrangement was very cautious, so that Zhang Ba led hundreds of cavalry to watch closely, and Cao Hong must not be allowed to escape.

One must know that Cao Hong would be defeated in the current situation, and he might not have thought of leading the remaining cavalry and fleeing.After all, it is too worthless to die here without dying in Tongguan.

But when Cao Hong saw thousands of infantry coming towards them and hundreds of cavalry waiting in full formation, Cao Hong felt desperate in his heart.

"Hahahaha." Cao Hong suddenly let out a loud laugh, the laughter was miserable, but also tragic.

"It is inevitable that the general will be killed in battle. Today is the day of my death, Cao Hong. Kill." That was all laughter, and then Cao Hong roared fiercely, holding a long knife, and rushed out on his horse.
